I don't think so, no: they are subjective judgments, permissible under free speech (at least until your beloved controlling Labour get back in), and I don't accuse him of anything illegal (like, say, smoking weed or "speeding"...ring any bells?) And besides, he's said worse about me. Oh, and I'm not the only one to make such observations about him. Oh, and I didn't actually say who I was talking about anyway. If it's obvious who it is to you and absolutely everyone else then that that says a fair bit about the veracity of my description, doesn't it?

From you, maybe, as I thought we had an "understanding" despite our almost continual disagreement on transport-related matters. You'll note that when the usual suspects say unpleasant things about me I don't tend to react as it's water off a duck's back. Some people are so screwed up that I'm pleased they dislike me...I'd actually be worried if they said nice things.
