1. You all know perfectly well that there isn't a single paper on Fleet Street in the moment that has anything even close to £300,000 in readies to spend on anything, let alone a political story. If there was, Jade Goody wouldn't have gone to OK! magazine.
2. The "mole hunt" story rests on you accepting at face value a sum submitted by an MP. See any irony there?
3. It couldn't be clearer which side you're on in the mole v. government equation, even if you did lose your heads in the excitement over the whole Dr David Kelly thing a while back.
4. Stop falling for the spin, you credulous cretins. This isn't moving the story on, its moving the story away.
5. They're on the back foot here. And this one of the very, very rare occasions where you actually do have the moral high ground.
Ends.

It's called hitting the nail on the head !
If you scan through the blogs you will find many of us who totally agree with your point.
Adam and Pip -I couldn't agree more and posted it up on here on Tueday.

Spot on Adam,
I'd have thought that Eye had the readies to buy the disc though

oooops
The expenses moles doesn't exist, right? Not, at least, at the time when an MP alleged he did (and was also, as you point out, somehow able to set the price).
This is not a hunt for a specific individual. It was most likely an MP trying to detract away from the story, and ironically, has now created a market for a brokered deal. That what you're saying?
Because if the individual that did supply the information turned out to be an MP, that wouldn't suprise anyone, would it?
