Given it was a Labour-supporting commenter (IIRC) who was the only person to raise that angle, and the response was a big ‘so what? No one here cares’ – those who came here after making that a search may have been disappointed!
Why would anyone search ‘Mail on Sunday’ and then think: “Ah, Lib Dem Voice, that’s what I want” ??!!
And how/ why, I wonder, not being techie, does LDV show up as a TOP hit on (presumably) Google when someone keys in such things?
Just googled Mail on Sunday – LDV’s story ‘Mail on Sunday’s shocking Ed Milliband revelations’ was the 13th item. Don’t suppose many people actually looking for the MoS itself would get down that far, but some others must have done.
