Right Wing Pigeon Fight?
Was Donal Blaney attacked by Alexander Deane in a contribution to CentreRight.com? We’ll never know if there’s been a scrap because the editor, one Timothy Montgomerie, has intervened and removed the post because it linked to an “inaccurate” list published by Donal Blaney that showed how many posts each ‘contributor’ has made. Turns out that when somebody posts to the site it doesn’t always show their name or become attributed to them. On that basis, the list has been deemed inaccurate and no links to it will be tolerated:
Timothy comments on Donal’s blog: “Your original post contained some errors. It suggested, for example, that David Willetts, Liam Fox, Nile Gardiner and Matt Sinclair hadn’t posted at all and they had. After Alex Deane had linked to your post I requested that we take his link down as I didn’t want to be linking to an inaccurate list.”
We wonder if that means the editorial policy of CentreRight is to never link to anything that could be deemed to be inaccruate. What about the latest post by the editor almighty himself? What if the number-crunching alluded to in the post is later found to be inaccurate to any extent? Will the post then be removed?
Semantics aside. What we really want to know is if there was an attack by Alexander Deane on Donal Blaney in the post and it’s now being covered up. Oh we do love a good old right-wing conspiracy. Give the people what they want – let Deane and Blaney battle it out. We’ve had our eye on Blaney for a while and know he’s a heavyweight at debate as shown during the now mysteriously vanished 18 Doughty Street project, but as for Alexander… Well, Alexander who?
