The trouble with the comments section of any newspaper or blog is that activists (of either persuasion) are often summoned en masse to leave comments. Even "template" letters sent to local newspapers appear almost identical when people forget to re-write them in their own words.
For example, after all the parties released their tax records in one form or another, Ken Livingstone's Mayoral Campaign team were emailed to "urgently engage" various pro-Boris sites by Tom Copley, Ken's "Digital Campaign Coordinator".
However it looks like "Team Boris" are getting their own back after Ken wrote an article in the Guardian yesterday whining on that the tax row, which he exacerbated by his comments and challenges on LBC, is now suddenly "a distraction" :roll:
I suspect some of the comments left on
