Chequered career of a man with an eye for the deal
QUOTE
It is hard on one level to take David Hart seriously. He looks like Lord Lucan, has a son whose middle name is Bimbo, writes novels, one of which is dedicated portentously to "you, Citizen", hunts and shoots, and smokes impossibly long cigars. Yet to listen to some on the Labour benches, among the higher reaches of the Ministry of Defence and in the boardrooms of Britain's biggest defence manufacturers, you would think he was their number one bogeyman. Mention his name and a torrent of bile emerges: dangerous, sinister, far right, upstart, CIA links, determined to slash the armed forces, friend of US defence contractors, eminence grise to Michael Portillo.

The Independent, a left wing rag does not like Dave. So what? They didn't find any dirt but they did try.
