This post by Fraser Nelson is a must read! It tells you everything you ever needed to know, or more likely, have confirmed, concerning the psychotic liars and hallucinators who run our country. Please read it. I will only add these two observations: the fact that Balls picked up the 'phone and rang Nelson personally is indicative of an exposed nerve having been prodded by Nelson's scalpel; and it is a confirmation of the power of political blogs, particularly those written by informed insiders who reach a huge audience directly but whose writings are then picked up and amplified by the broader media. It was Nelson who first highlighted the IFS study which provided the ammo for what turned out to be a massive broadside into 'Battleship Brown' which had hitherto sailed along laying down thick smoke. (Enough with the naval metaphors - Ed!) Even Cameron has now realised that the government's agit-prop must be met head on - with truth. Let us hope he also realises that under the relentless eyes of blogdom he must ensure that he and his team stick as close to the truth as they can lest they, too, sink without trace.
Now, altogether, three cheers for Fraser Nelson - and three more for 'The Speccie' - hip, hip, hip . . .
