Comments on: Quote of the day http://www.lettersfromatory.com/2009/07/12/quote-of-the-day-313/ Daily views on British politics and the Conservative Party from a centre-right thinker who writes letters on his blog to politicians, journalists and many others.

If Coulson goes (when he has resigned in the past over the same issue) then there is simply no natural justice left. Painful though it might be, I think the RIGHT (as opposed to the politically expedient) thing today is for Cameron to stand up for Coulson.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11030','Charles'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11030','Charles','The problem we have here is that this is a classic takedown attempt by the Labour party and their friends in the meeja.

Bearing in mind the truth of the quoted maxim, if you want to take out a spindoctor/media operation, make sure that you can make them the story. Coulson isn't alone. The News of the Screws wasn't even the biggest user of phone-hacks. The Daily Mail was. The Screws came above the Observer. Just. But Coulson has been made the story and will have to go. Not right away, of course, as that would just encourage Labour to go after more, or to prosecute him or persue him in some other classically vindictive way.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11023','Shaun Pilkington'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11023','Shaun Pilkington','Not really.

But Coulson has been made the story and will have to go. Not right away, of course, as that would just encourage Labour to go after more, or to prosecute him or persue him in some other classically vindictive way.
