Wikileaks backs Ukip over list against journalists at Times (or ‘Tories Inventing More Erroneous Sh*te’)

Ukip has hit back in its row with The Times over Nigel Farage’s European Parliament allowance, publishing a list of the newspaper’s journalists which it claims are “desperately trying to undermine” the party – and in doing so has received support from an unlikely quarter.

Mr Farage said yesterday that he and the party were the subject of a “smear campaign” from “the pro-establishment newspaper”, and a statement published on the Ukip website has now been backed by WikiLeaks.

In its list, the party described the apparent connections between journalists and the Conservative Party and accused them of being from “immensely privileged backgrounds”. The names listed include columnists Daniel Finkelstein and Matthew Parris, a former Tory official and MP respectively, and all but one are described as “privately educated”.

Tweeting a link to the party’s site, WikiLeaks described it as a list of “oppositional journalists at the Times (Murdoch)”. “Good example of cronyism in UK media sector,” it added.

The predicted smear campaign is clearly visible and quite futile.

Is anyone surprised.
Much as I dislike Farage, there is no room for smear campaigns, but sadly, when it comes to the Tories, they are experts in smears, falsehoods and negative campaigning.
Would be happy for UKIP to take as many votes as it can from the tories.

Labour are the masters of deception, lies and spin.
