In November 2007 I posted THIS about Charlie Whelan and entitled it "Spinning in the wind?"
It is clear, via his influential role in the Unite union, that he has had more than a passing involvement in "Smeargate". The question is whether those in the know will have the courage to let us have the real story even though they risk having their metaphorical manhoods ripped off and made into earrings for Mrs Whelan.
