Guido Fawkes drops a bombshell:


Guido gathers that a photo exists of a Downing Street dinner from late November 2005 in honour of the Polish Justice Party prime minister, Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz. The guests at the party included Michal Kaminski.

One might think that there is a fundamental difference between entertaining foreign politicians and getting into parliamentary coalitions with them.  But put that troublesome thought aside.  Guido assures us that:

This development spells the end of crude attempts by Labour to portray Cameron’s European allies as neo-Nazis.

I suppose it might.  But only if, in the same vein, the photograph below, of another glad-handing engagement in Downing Street, conclusively exonerates another individual who stands accused of being a not very nice chap:



And there is also this, from when Mugabe was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath by John Major's government in 1994:



Try again Guido.

New as this blog is, I haven't yet found the need to set out anything resembling a comments policy. Until such a need arises, the only rule that seems appropriate is: please be civil. I think everyone has enough common sense to know, roughly, what that entails, without further elaboration.
