"Offensive March in March placards and the controversy over the Carolyn Habib pamphlet demonstrate that both sides of politics are guilty of double-standards when it comes to personal denigration, writes"If you don't want to be offended, don't get into politics. Democratic processes should be about rational debate, agreement (or the agreement to disagree), consensus. All these things happen under the surface and it is true that the personal stuff highlighted here shouldn't be there but that's life in the big smoke as they say.
The march in march was a success and a message to Friar Tuck. He pretended to shrug it off and ignore it but he will have to take such a large demonstration into account, especially when it is supported by intelligent argument. To criticise it because it included some personal stuff against Friar Tuck is to focus on superficiality.
