But Richard, this current Socialist shower of shite have been quite happy to govern by leaked information rather than properly announce things in the chamber.
They also made use of leaked information when in opposition.
From what I can gather, the information that was leaked in this case showed that they were not only failing to tell the truth on certain matters, but were actively lying.

I think it also shows how seriously some on the left take the matter when both Harriet Harman and the former Viscount Stansgate both lend some support to the Tory position.
