HemmingGate: To ban or not to ban, that is the question MNHQ

Some of us would like to know if a certain politico will be banned, proper.

No rush.

We know you have a lot on your plate with ... stuff.

(I probably got two quotes mixed up in subject line. Don't panic! It's me not you. Am philistine. Italy is wasted on me. Not keen on art, prefer shopping.)

A good lesson in treating women with respect and behaving well in life I think.

That.

How quick could you knock up a translation of the synopsis, or are you still snowed under at the mov?

I'd do it, but I'm slow, and Eng-Ital translations in this house always lead to marital disagreement where I accuse Italian of not having enough words an DH bangs on about how MESSY English is.

We didn't talk to each other for three hours after the last translation.

“I didn't realise it was against Mumsnet's rules and regulations, I haven't read them.”

Pretty sure that I couldn't go around breaking the laws of this country & then, when arrested, just say "Opps, sorry, I didn't check if it was ok to go around stabbing people." Isn't there something about ignorance being no defence?!

Carpe, Spero, LakeDistrict, the lot of you, well done. Twatter is just amazing. Your persistence is just amazing. What a brilliant bunch of clever, strong women. I hope he is a tiny bit scared right now and thinking perhaps there might be a better way to go about things after all.

My teenager is amazed looking at all the links to proper newspapers with the story his mother has wittered on about to him all week. A good lesson in treating women with respect and behaving well in life I think.

WestmorlandSausage · 02/01/2014 19:40

well thats a slightly different take by the independent. At least they didn't just do a copy and paste I suppose!

It's like waiting for a bus. Wait three weeks, then 8 turn up at once, and one of them tries to run you over.

If anybody is trying to comment on ANY of the news stories, given that they are doing a santised/wrong version....can you please try and sneak at least a partial link to the synopsis of what actuslly happened.

A lot of comment might not take the whole link, they will reject the comment, that happens chop off the bit, or try just posting the blog name Deepest Darkest Lomellina (it'll be the first sesrch result) the sysnopis is the top post.

People who are interested to read the news story might like to hear the less sanitised version of what he said and did on the thread. If somebody can get it in the comments, that might just happen.

Carpe you need to tweet the birmingham Mail pull of the piece, and the nationals..

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 19:13

I think it is also important that all posters here, and lurkers, contact MNHQ to express their feelings about it.

He has not only broken MN rules, he has perpetuated the abuse via his website and by extention through to the national press.

This cannot be acceptable, ever, on MN.

SantasPelvicFloor · 02/01/2014 19:11

I am not followed by the PM... I did love the Carpe comment of it might be a free one for joining up

I'm still quietly prodding, poking and tweeting...oh and now commenting.

WestmorlandPigInBlanket · 02/01/2014 19:00

Deary me I step away from my computer for one day and look what happens.

I'm actually feeling a little bit proud of us all right now - just goes to show that sometimes the people can have some power if you get organised and typing happy!

It feels odd to have achieved something so massive with a small group of random (but lovely) strangers!

IamtheZombie · 02/01/2014 18:56

Just to give everyone a giggle. Earlier Adam Wagner tweeted: The benefit of million year sentences is that it allows for the possibility that vampires and demons exist.

I replied to him saying: And Zombies. Don't forget Zombies.

He re-tweeted my reply! Shock

LakeDistrictBabe · 02/01/2014 18:45

"Attacking" the Telegraph pronto :)

DrankSangriaInThePark · 02/01/2014 18:43

The telegraph one is good. All things considered. Esp as they were at the forefront of the baby ripped from womb hysteria.much more measured now.

sadsqueaker · 02/01/2014 18:41

shit, I meant Christopher Booker of course.

sadsqueaker · 02/01/2014 18:37

I've started off the comments in the Telegraph, a few helpers/recommends would be good before his/Brookers followers descend en masse and ruin itWink

PacificDogwood · 02/01/2014 18:33

Yes, I actually feel a bit weird about how far this TwitterStiffBreeze as come; 'weird' in a good way.
My brother is in pr and I know from him moaning talking about his job how hard it can be to get coverage when you want it.

Well done, everybody Thanks [medals to Carpe and Spero]

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 02/01/2014 18:33

Telegraph article not perfect, but the best so far I think. I know they do later go on to use "inadvertently" etc but

"The outspoken MP for Birmingham Yardley has his Mumsnet account suspended after he published confidential information on the site and also exposed the identities of some anonymous posters."

Is a good paragraph that for once isnt inaccurate.

The bit,

"Unfortunately the un-redacted documents included the woman’s name, contravening a court order granting her anonymity."

could have done with focussing on her children though, shame they are all missing that

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 18:32

I do get it Spero, but you can't herd the media...you can only lead with little crumbs...

That is why I said it was a long term campaign.
