I hear you're refusing to air our party political broadcast! That's a jolly rum to-do, old chap!
Well, it's defamatory. At one bit you say that Tony Blair "lied" about Iraq.
Isn't that acknowledged now? He said they had weapons and they didn't.
Yes, but you don't know he was lying. He could just be really stupid, or insane.
But it'd be cumbersome to say "Tony Blair is either a liar, really stupid, or insane". The voters might not understand.
That's your fault for having such dim supporters.
