Here’s Tim Montgomerie putting the smear strategy outed by the alittleecon blog into action.
Isn’t it fun to see someone point out how a Tory tactic works and then be able to spot it in action – straight away!

(not satire – it’s the Tories!)
Times columnist and Tory activist Tim Montgomerie has been called “one of the most influential Tories outside the cabinet“.
So it’s interesting that in a tweet today, Montgomerie branded the charity Oxfam “socialist” for wanting to eradicate poverty:
It seems the Tories have come a long, long way from the days in 2006 when the then leader of the opposition David Cameron pledged a Tory government would seek to eradicate even relative poverty in the UK:
Tories claim ‘big change’ on poor
Looks like the Nasty Party is well and truly back!

Conor Burns has wrote to the charity commissioner asking that oxfam are investigated for their ‘attack’ poster. So………I have wrote to the charity commissioner myself saying that I think the poster was very informative and ask that any complaints against Oxfam are ignored!
