Peter Hain (writing in the Observer) neatly sums up the hypocrisy of the Fascist From & his supporters, who
'don’t apply the standards to him that they demand of opponents, seeing the official inquiry into his personal finances as a witch-hunt. Yet they demand that their opponents are pristine. One rule for them, another for the rest'!
The problem is the media has until recently, been too willing to play along & even now skews towards the Frog rather than against him.
