Blah blah blah blah... heard it, nothing new here... etc. etc... oh... wait...
"Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling said it called into question the government's choice of advisers."
I would dearly like to know if Mr Grayling is suggesting that you only pick advisors who tell you what you want to hear, rather than - oh, I don't know - the truth?
In this (apparently not-so-enlightened) age, you would think that people might be willing to weigh up the empirical evidence and listen to the opinions of those who have studied a subject in depth, rather than dismiss the issue out of hand simply because you don't like what they're saying.
Sadly, it seems Grayling is little different from Jacqui Smith on this matter - letting ill-informed opinion get in the way of a rational debate.
If you wanted sock-puppets, you should have said so.
