David bloody lying Mellor!
Always a safe choice, but has he done something specific?
He repeated the lies about Hillsborough, asserting them as fact. Blaming drunken fans (as the late, unlamented Irvine Patnick MP did) against all the evidence in the report of the Commission is just sickening.
So not a party political nomination at all. More a question of common decency.
Mind you, since it was the Tories who started spreading the lies, and reinforced them, Bernard Ingham and the sainted Margaret included, and attempted to quash the protests of such as IIRC Chris Mullin and others (more to the left than the right) who sought the truth, it seems to have been made a partisan issue by the liars in the Tory party and the Murdoch press, and Mellor continues that shameful tradition.
