Watson Blog Smeared Cameron and Osborne Before mdi-fullscreen

dc-gf-raves

It is still there.  Another post on the same day (now deleted) accused Guido of being “a silly little public-school toff who ran drugs parties and made a bob or two in the City” – never mind the fact that Tony McNulty went to the same grammar school as  Guido. “So Guido Fawkes claims that David Cameron attended raves, presumably the illegal sort. Well [he] should know. Isn’t it fitting that the disgusting site he runs is probably named after the pinnacle of his life’s achievement: The Sunrise rave (second Guy Fawkes edition) on the 4th November 1989.!”

Note that there is an almost puritanical streak in the attack; Guido did drugs and partied in his twenties, the parties were probably illegal.  Well it is hardly a secret that Guido has libertine as well as libertarian tendencies.  That is a feature, not a bug.  Cameron is the same age and probably equally as louche is the tenuous smear by association.

The day they launched their smear counter-attack incidentally was Guido’s fortieth birthday.  It was very irritating.
