Tory blogger in local media storm
Tory blogger, Islington Newmania has found himself in a bit of media storm in Islington. Newmania made what was clearly a joke comment about his party colleagues in a local ward being rubbish on Iain's site, and the comment was seized upon by the Lib Dems on Lib Dem Voice as proof of the Tory Party being "nasty" because Newmania, as a deputy chairman of Islington Conservative association, is a "top Tory".

I have commented at the paper:
This seems like a storm in a tea cup. Remember Lib Dem Jody Dunn and her "drunk, flanked by an angry dog, or undressed" jibe at the people of Hartlepool? Well here in Manchester Chorlton we've had a local candidate caught calling the local people "bastards" as in "none of the bastards will open the door to me" talking on his mobile, probably to the local LD MP John Leech. The Tories are forever bitching about their local organisations. Iain Dale and others have attacked their Scottish colleagues for example. I am a Labour member and blogger and from my point of view Lib Dems are by far and away the ones with the LEAST POLITICS and the LOWEST OPINION of the voters.

Forgetting to put nomination papers in is the height of political stupidity. Paul Newman was making a gag. No "ordinary residents" were offended in the making of this joke.
Top Tories:
David Cameron Yes
Shadow cabinet members Yes
Conservative MPs Probably
Conservative Councillors Conceivably
Conservative Constituency Association Chairmen-stretching a point
CCA Deputy chairmen-NO(sorry Newmania)
All good LD stuff. Don't know why we should be surprisedh
It's such a shame they couldn't go the whole hog......Top Tory Toff
Storm in a teacup - just look at Iznewmania's track record.
When opponents call you a top Tory you know their intentions are malign.
