Very tacky tactics if you ask me.

That's an interesting theory, Gayle. As far as I'm aware, this story has come up again because it's included in a new book called "Cameron The Rise of The New Conservative" by James Hanning and Francis Elliott. However, by saying "they've brought this up again" you're implying that the Tories have revived the story. Are you, therefore, saying that Tory spin doctors have colluded with the authors and/or publishers of this book in an attempt to give "Dave" some street cred? And if you are, what's your evidence for this?
Obviously, anything's possible in the murky world of politics and, if true, it would indeed be tacky tactics. However, for a supporter of this present government which has made tacky tactics a fine art form (the sexing up of the WMD report in order to justify our entry into a totally pointless war is perhaps the most shameful example), to accuse another party of indulging in tacky tactics is almost breathtaking in its sheer cheek.
