'The Advertising Standards Agency has been accused of bias after its chairman publicly campaigned for gay marriage while it has placed advertisements from opponents of a change in the law under investigation.'
An almost record-breakingly inelegant and unwieldy sentence from the Daily Telegraph there.
So what's the story?
'The watchdog rejected calls for Lord Smith of Finsbury – the former Labour cabinet minister, Chris Smith – to resign last night but accepted that he had a “conflict of interest” on the matter and therefore would not vote.
'It emerged last week that the ASA is investigating an advertisement from
the
Coalition For Marriage (C4M), which campaigns against changing the
law,
following claims it is “offensive” to homosexual people...'
Erm, the "calls for him to resign" have come from one single - and seriously barking - blogger.
Since when did deluded rants from the wilder fringes of the blogosphere carry any political weight?
Fagburn hereby calls for David Cameron to commit hara-kiri live on The One Show on Friday whilst whistling Dixie.
Are you going to turn that into a news story?
