This weekend, LabourList held Guido Fawkes to account on a string of racist remarks he chose to publish on his site. This caused a lot of controversy on the web, and we are proud that we are raising questions about whether politically progressive blogs should be linking to and promoting vicious sites such as this.
In some of the comment on LabourList, our editor referred to critics as ‘windowlickers.’ Absolutely no offence was intended by the use of this term, which Derek has explained and apologised for over on his personal blog.
