If Labour leaks, so can we all

Dirty tricks at their Ali Campbell best. The upcoming elections are looking more and more interesting all the time. The Sunday Times is reporting that Labour supposedly has a dirty tricks effort called "Operation Blackwatch" that is infiltrating Tory meetings and taping various Tory speakers' comments for later public leaking.

It is kind of like me leaking that in a meeting with Maureen Child (the Labour councillor for the Milton ward) last year when asked about putting speed bumps outside Brunstane school because of the speed that cars go round that corner, Maureen Child agreed that "a child would have to be killed first". It is interesting that of the two people who attended the meeting with Maureen "Three Houses" Child one was a globally known entrepreneur and his American assistant. The assistant was almost in tears after hearing the Councillor's news.

In the Times article, linked below the following appeared:

A Labour spokesman last night repeatedly refused to deny that the Labour party taped meetings, simply saying: "This is getting away from the substance of what was said, which is the real story."
So that's alright then.
