On the point: overeaction

This is the kind of sensationalist story that picks up anyway. If people who are in authority are seen to want such trash reporting to be acted on as Tonge did by wanting an investigation then the story gains additional traction. In this case it was up to the lib dems to put down the article by sacking Jenny. If Tonge had not been sacked then it would have been lending some credibility to such a viewpoint, Clegg had no choice in the matter, she had to go.

Sacking Baronness tonge is an overeaction that simply publicises a wacky story that would be best ignored by everyone. Firing those who ask for an investigation makes people think that there is a cover up so increasing suspicions that the claim is actually true. In this case many people will who will not have a clue what the initial claims are about will simply think that Tonge has been fired for being anti Israeli so helping to substantiate claims that there is some immense israeli or zionist lobby across the west including in British politics.

Yes, because...
