Quote of the day

Jackie Ashley in The Guardian (here):
"I don't think Michael Martin should resign this week, or next: you can't begin a campaign to restore the dignity of parliament by letting press attacks hound the Speaker out. He should be allowed to make his decision and announce it in his own time. But it's now clear what that decision should be. When a Speaker is part of the problem, he owes it to parliament to step aside."

Is this a press attack seeking to hound the Speaker out? Or is it not? Would Ms Ashley understand the difference?
