Ad hominem attack.
With an invented slur added for effect.
Poor old notchy truly has lost the plot...
All that word play he erroneously thinks is 'clever' (but which is simply dumb evasion tactics) has come back to bite him.
And he now doesn't appear to realise his total hypocrisy!
Heres total hypocrisy:
you are unable to credit Thatcher for her valuable work on creating the single market
Yup, poor old Ellal, spends all day tripping himself up.
He must be covered in bruises.

Ha ha,
I merely pointed out his hypocrisy.
I see George has learnt a new latin word this week, but doesnt understand how to apply it
Poor old George, he is best sticking with his 'assertions, allegations' rubbish....blah blah blah
poor, ignorant notch.
New word for you: Pedant
This says its a word:
"Ad hominem" literally means "to the person" in New Latin (Latin as first used in post-medieval texts). ... The word still refers to putting personal issues above other matters, but perhaps because of its old association with "argument," "ad hominem" has become, in effect, "against the person."
Its latin. My link calls it a word.
Ad hominem literally means "to the person" in New Latin (Latin as first used in post-medieval texts). In centuries past, this adjective usually modified "argument." An "argument ad hominem" (or "argumentum ad hominem," to use the full New Latin phrase) was a valid method of persuasion by which a person took advantage of his or her opponent's interests or feelings in a debate, instead of just sticking to general principles. The newer sense of "ad hominem," which suggests an attack on an opponent's character instead of his or her argument, appeared only in the last century, but it is the sense more often heard today. The word still refers to putting personal issues above other matters, but perhaps because of its old association with "argument," "ad hominem" has become, in effect, "against the person."

As I said before:
Perhaps, for English, you would be better off with an English reference.
