  What I find particularly interesting here and indeed in other 'debates' is the response of Labour supporters to critism of the Government and Gordon Brown.
  
  Instead of producing a cohesive defence of Brown, with supporting evidence (links etc), instead of challenging the specifics of the critisism with counter arguments they attack the messenger.
  
  The response is invariably just what we have seen here with inane personal attacks on Dan Hannan or whoever else is making the critisism. Supporting evidence and quotes to back up any attack, from no-Party, international or other independent bodies are simply ignored as if they did not exist. Another favourite is damn the critisism as something do with the 'Daily Mail' or Mail readers or labelling the Telegraph 'Torygraph' (laughable that one actually). The other stock response is to divert attention from the points with sillyness or poking fun.
  
  The lack of any real defence of this Government that its supporters are able to provide is very telling.
  
  Sadly the inability of Labour supporters to put forward a good case and reverting to these tactics does not provide a good debate.
  
  Still, it highlights just how weak and inept the Government really is.
