If it's written on the Internet it must be true!

"David Cameron uncut" says the headline of a posting on LabourHome followed by a rather intriguing opening paragraph: "A video clip you won't see on Webcameron is Dave scowling and wiping his hand after an encounter with one of Edinburgh's less fortunate."

Sadly it's a video clip you also won't see on LabourHome, or the original posting that is referenced there. Why won't you see it? Because... well... it doesn't exist. There is no Cameron Uncut video at all. In fact, all there is a post consisting of an unsubstantiated claim dripping in political bias and poorly linked causality.

Cameron must have Labour really worried, if they're trying so hard to smear him at every turn. Knowing the dirty nature of some of Labour's campaigning tactics, there is no doubt that we can expect more of this kind of unfounded rumour-mongering and downright lies from them in the future. Let's hope Dave and colleagues can side-step as many of the poo-traps as they can and deprive Labour of the ammunition they feed on.

Even if it were true, it's hardly going to turn off the swing-voters is it?
