I read now that the Tories are trying to get themselves off the hook by claiming it was the Lib Dems that done it !
Why the Tories think it would be a good move for the Lib Dems to plant fake stories that misrepresent a Lib Dem MP on the web for several weeks and also gove credibility to the Tories in the constituency, god alone knows.
I guess it is a sign of their desperation to get themselves off the hook,

Whoever did it is the same person that repeatedly vandalised Norman Lamb’s wikipedia page. An email from “” traced to the same IP address as the wikipedia entries.
