Is it just me, or is the Telegraph's expenses campaign astutely timed to aid its Eurosceptic agenda

Well any suggestion as such is being firmly met in the High court by representatives of the Proprietors.

Telegraph lawyers shut down Tory MP's blog | Politics | guardian.co.uk

The newspaper is understood to have acted after she made further allegations concerning the motivation of the newspaper's proprietors, Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay. Withers, the lawyers acting for the Barclay brothers, are understood to have instructed the takedown, invoking the acceptable user policy used by internet service providers to protect themselves against libel action provoked by comments on websites they host.

If you look around the internet her original allegations are still out there, in the sorts of places you would expect them to be recoverable from.

Libel laws seem to be the first resort of the scoundrel in British politics. Look at Robert Maxwell, always had a pack of lawyers straining t the leash to sue all and sundry if they dared speak anything other than the permitted version. Yet finally it was revelaed that those truthsayers who'd been hauled through the courts had barely scratched the surface of his criminality.

Why don't we do the world a favour and post it here, then, before it disappears?

Because the proprietors of that paper have a very large Libel fund, and very agressive lawyers?
