That Tory/FPO nexus again

I’ve just remembered, in the light of the shameful phoney-photo affair, that the FPO managed to pull that one too: their attack-dog parliamentary floor manager, Peter Westenthaler, produced a photo in parliament which he said showed a Green MP, Karl Öllinger, fighting a policeman. This, of course, showed that the Greens “were the party of violence in our society”.

Later, the actual photograph was published (I think after the photographer ratted on Westy), and turned out to show nothing of the sort. Funny.
