Conservative blogger Iain Dale has made the case (http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-ive-donated-to-phil-woolas-appeal.html) that Phil Woolas, the disgraced and hopefully soon to be ex-MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth, has been unreasonably treated by the law. He's even sent £100 towards Mr Woolas' legal costs to mount a Judicial Review.
