Biased BBC contributor Hippiepooter sent me this most excellent link to a Delingpole article on his encounter with Richard Bacon. “Bacon, remember, has recently been fighting a public battle against the various internet trolls(especially on Twitter) who have made his life hell.

Yes, the uber militant Unite Leader McCluskey and Miliband have had 8 meals together since Ed became leader – care of McCluskey and the comrades and the BBC dutifully report this.
