Recall the disparity between the media&#39;s reaction to Prezza&#39;s Punch and the public&#39;s.<br /><br />Shame the site&#39;s changing, but in these times and in his position anything DK posts will be held up and used against both him and his party and he&#39;s obviously decided that the party is more important.FlipChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449939046593105926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14422435.post-83314948760093396552010-04-16T08:15:13.542+01:002010-04-16T08:15:13.542+01:00&quot;Piebald&quot;?Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.com
