Shoot the messenger

From Labourhome this morning comes this attack on Martin Bright. No denial of the facts just an attack on Martin Bright. Do read the comments that follow the article - they just don't understand how a socialist could ever criticise another socialist - "I read the article as well. Its deplorable, especially from Martin, supposedly a socialist, providing ammunition to the Tories." and "Disgusting. Everyone on the left should be right behind Ken. Otherwise we get that pretencious toff running our capital into the ground." However one correspondent does get the point"Someone we might expect to support Livingstone attacks him. I assume that his concerns are genuine. How about dropping the ad hominem and addressing the issues? Sorry: silly question." Thanks "jerryc".
