Foreign Secretary David Miliband has made an extraordinary intervention in the controversy about the Conservatives and Michal Kaminski:

"The British public rightly judge politicians by their actions. So far, they haven’t had much to go on with David Cameron. But this reversion to the right-wing extremes of his own party should give people a strong sense of what both he and his party believe in, and it has nothing to do with the best interests of Britain."

As I age ungracefully, I seem to recall as if in a dream (or nightmare) Mr Kaminski sitting nicely on the Polish side opposite Prime Minister Blair at No 10 at some or other lunch for visiting top Polish leaders.

But maybe I am wrong. Perhaps it was some other PiS spin doctor. Someone needs to check the No 10 lunch guestlists for the visits to No 10 by PM Marcinkiewicz in 2005 and President Kaczynski in 2006.

I mean, it surely is not possible that the Labour Party, with its high sense of principle and propriety, would even think of giving evil Polish right-wing homophobe extremists taxpayer-funded prawn cocktail, with not a breath of private criticism/complaint/concern.

Is it?

That would be just one stupid hypocrisy too far.
