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.)

Unless you need to win an argument on t'internet with some randoms during/after a pub visit.

Oh I was thinking more Orc, rather than Goblin....

Spero I was actually really annoyed when I read your name in that article

I would say "I would take your place in a heartbeat to spare you from the pain" but, um....sorry...rather you than me Wink Grin

Spero · 03/01/2014 21:07

o ahahahahahah!

We are supposed to keep children's identities secret! unless I have a terribly important point I need to make on a random internet site after Brownies!

PacificDogwood · 03/01/2014 21:07

No way?!

More goblin, less wizard

OH NO, it's him!! The MP who-cannot-be-named!! Voltemming!! :(

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 03/01/2014 21:06

I think Spartacus said that.

LakeDistrictBabe · 03/01/2014 21:05

Imagine having one's name printed in the Daily Mail. Some dirt never washes off.

I hear your pain. Ending up in the DM is the worst of all curses :(

"If parents with children did something like that they would go to jail.
We are supposed to protect the identity of children by not naming them or keeping their identity secret

Go on, guess who..."

Gandalf? Grin

sadsqueaker · 03/01/2014 21:02

I've found an absolute corker of a quote in this article about an adoption agency advertising children in local papers
Telegraph article

Guess who said this?

Go on, guess who...

Sorry Lilka, I claim first dibs on all amusing bloggers regardless of orientation. This is surely my just reward for all I have SUFFERED today.

fogot Grin

Seriously the poeple I got on well with in the HE community aren't likely to be HemmingLemmings, and the rest are not going to listen to me.

Never listened to me about anything else.

But if ai might make a suggestion go to the Home Education Heretic blog, look in comments till you find Julie, leave a message for here, if apeter starts on you... run like fuck, it will not start making more sens ethe longer you spend in there trying to work out what he means.

Or maybe try Ann, in the same place.

Woah Spero Grin

Okay okay, he's yours. You win, you win!

If you get him, are there any similar bloggers of the female variety for me? Wink

Spero · 03/01/2014 20:44

Back off Lilka, he's mine

confuddledDOTcom · 03/01/2014 20:44

Are there any Home Edders here? Please can you spread the word in HE communities because the levels of ignorance are shocking! Some of the most intelligent people I know are posting support for JH and it seems to be because they are HEers.

Lilka · 03/01/2014 20:43

Not really contributing anything here except 'I agree with you all'! Blush

PacificDogwood · 03/01/2014 20:42

The Southern Farmer just caught me unawares Grin

So, so well done, you troupers - I am delighted to have been a tiny part of it all.

Spero, thank you for posting your letter - I will steal large parts of it and send it to anybody I can think of. The only LibDem political bod around these parts is an MEP; I am not sure he'll be interested, but it might as well clog up his inbox. And IOC and Parliamentary Stsndards etc

May I also say I told my dad a bit about what we'd been up to and he is behind us all as well - once a political activist, always a political activist, even at 80 Grin.

It is heating up which is good and the threatening noises JH is making smack now of annoyance at least rather than 'indulging the little wimmin', so yeah to that.
The Metro article is great - well, the best so far, anyway.

Carpe, your suggestion that the LibDems and other political bodies are not doing anything about him and his ilk because they see his behaviour and what he can get away with as a kind of 'test cast' is just too sad for words. I fear you may not be far off the mark.

I often despair at how apolitical my profession is ('policital' with a small 'p'; not party-political) and how often the general public is easily led by 'bread and games' Hmm.

Ah well, onwards and upwards, Christian Soldiers

Lilka · 03/01/2014 20:42

I like this guy!

Spero · 03/01/2014 20:40

Simon Tyszko, I am probably old enough to be your ahem older sister but will you marry me? On the 2010 blog he says thusly:

the sound of you shovelling would be quite amusing if it were not all so serious. the sheer blinkered foulness of your arguments and ignorant contention that the protesters are both guilty, have no real problems and are protesting about upper middle class issues entirely misses the wave of unified disgust at your society wrecking proposals. the classless solidarity on the streets is quite breathtaking in it’s awareness and passion. keep digging please keep digging. as the chants go, there’s more of us than you! - See more at: brightgreenscotland.org/index.php/2010/12/dick-of-the-year-john-hemming/#sthash.Ud4U2v3A.dpufe!

When does he EVER do anything that isn't dicking around on the internet or sniffing out new mistresses?

Not quite, lime, its not perfect, title is

"An MP has been chucked off parenting website Mumsnet for revealing the identities of a fellow user as well as the name of an Italian woman who was forced to have a caesarean section."

But before Justines quote it says...
"Additionally, the Liberal Democrat politician also allegedly breached a court order that banned the naming of the baby of an Italian national, where the mother had to undergo a forced caesarean section on the orders of a secret family court."
