Not bad for responses to a single post:
DMcG says it is "whataboutism". At least that has the value of being a modern idea.
Dave the Gnome says it is six years old. But it was the most recent wide-ranging investigation into the snouts in the trough.
Steve Shaw says that that article is the biggest load of badly-argued bollocks I've read in months but doesn't try to contradict any of its findings.
Jim Carroll seems to believe that the Labour MPs at the time were actually conservatives in disguise. Heads up- they weren't voted in by the Conservatives.

The standards of posting here are certainly failing!
