Oh, dear god ....

"I would not argue that, and nor would any libel lawyer of my possible acquaintance"

And are you an expert in libel law, Harris? And are you aware that 'blood libel' is not a technical legal term, and has nothing whatsoever to do with 'libel lawyers'?

Beyond pathetic.

Hi Matthew! Hope the expulsion procedure of Tonge from the LibDem Party is going on well.

What about learning a new lesson on "blood libel"? I think that in the LibDem especially, you've got a master expert named Tonge.
You see, what she did about the pseudo-organ theft in Haiti is exactly that: blood libel. So, at least she should know what she is talking about.
Not that I would like her to teach that to other LibDems, of course.

So let us know when she will be expulsed from your Party, that meanwhile will remain a despicable one.

Yoni1, my reference to a libel lawyer was not in relation to Mrs Palin's allegation that her opponents had propagated a blood libel. It was in relation to the allegation that Mrs Palin's words have generated a violent atmosphere. I was, with heavy and obvious irony, making the point that I would not possibly repeat that allegation, for fear of defaming Mrs Palin - hence the reference to a libel lawyer.

Hi Matthew, nice to see you're back! Hope the expulsion of Tonge from LibDem is going on well.
You know her, she is the "blood libel" specialist in your party. Not only the technical aspects of it but also the practice ones.
Maybe you can follow one of her crash course and tell us some good old blood libel here. We would be glad to hear about it!

Of course, Tonge's screeching has never contributed to a violent atmosphere in the UK. No, siree. The laughably named LibDems are gentle, muesli-eating, sandal-wearing pacifists. None of them would dream of being deranged Jew-haters and enablers of Jihadist mass-murderers.

By the way, a Turkish doctor was indicted in the Kosovo organ trafficking ring investigations. Maybe your Tonge could say something about it? She was so quick to suspect Jews, maybe she would do the same service for a Muslim?
Of course, this time, there is a good reason to investigate.

Or maybe the 2 antisemitic tossers who marked me down could explain why they are not Neanderthal scum.

To remind you, Matthew, here is the story of Tonge's blood libel again:
