David T on Aslamgate:
One of the purposes of Harry's Place is to provide a forum, which is not always available in traditional letters or comments pages, for an extended dialogue with parts of the media which we regard generally with fondness rather than disdain. I acknowledge that this purpose may not always be apparent, it is nevertheless what motivates us to write.
Actually, David T is probably the best contributor at the Keyboard Warrior Left Hideout, which makes his occasional lurch into Harry and Brownie territory all the sadder.
The Guardian do need their collective arses kicking over this one, though. The world does not need, at this time, another victory for the sad bastard tendency, which is exactly what they have handed to Burgess et al. So, Rushbridger and co, repeat after me, We will not employ racist apologists for terror, we will not...
You have to laugh, though, at the high minded Mr Burgess's motivation for his obsessive interest in the Grauniad. Hell hath no fury than a blogging wannabe journalist scorned.
