Paul Staines a.k.a. Guido Fawkes has been summoned to appear before the Leveson inquiry to answer questions relating to his advance publication of a version of Alastair Campbell’s evidence to the inquiry. Staines says he obtained the document legally. I think it is worth reading and that it makes some powerful arguments, but you can no longer read it by following the link on Guido’s website: he has been ordered to remove it and has complied pending legal advice. I find this development troubling, but those who wish to read his evidence can now do so via the Leveson Inquiry site. Please note that I said ‘some’ powerful arguments. Campbell is partisan. Many argue that he made his own particular contribution to any decline in standards that may have occurred in British journalism. This does not undermine the clear value of some of what he says, but it means his arguments must be considered in context.
