Iain "moral compass" Dale on the subject of Michal Kaminski:

The fact that the left continues this campaign of traducement says far more about their own moral compass than it does about Kaminski.

Golly. Better check what that word means.

Definition:
traducement (transitive verb)
to traduce: to cause humiliation or disgrace to by making malicious and false statements

I'm still not quite clear about... oh, hang on:

Contemporary usage:

When Iain Dale traduced Tom Watson in the pages of the Daily Mail, the newspaper was forced to pay substantial damages.

Much better. Not quite sure what I'm going to do with this surplus of black pots and kettles, though.

(Pssst. For signs of the shakiness of Dale's high-horsed claim of lefty-leftist traducement start with the comments on his post, and then try Denis MacShane in The Guardian.)
