For all of you who don't understand the disgust with the Daily Mail...

[Spero]

I have just been told they have published an article about John Hemming in which they name me. Both my real name and my user name.

Luckily for me I don't care. Luckily for me I decided long ago I would never put anything on line that I would be ashamed/upset/frightened for anyone else to read.

But for lots of people this would be a complete and utter disaster. People post really personal and sensitive stuff on this site about the worst times of their lives, looking for help and support. They must know that.

Note that they never bothered contacting me to find out which category I fell into.

So if anyone wants to start another wide eyed innocent thread - o I just don't understand why you all hate the Daily Mail so much!

Does this kind of thing help you understand a little more?

I will link to the scum bags but only because I hope people might leave some 'helpful' comments about JH.

LDB - I use the default twitter app if I'm on my iPad. I haven't tried the browser version with safari (which apparently is a pain for developers to make anything work properly with) and I don't use it enough to have tried any 3rd party apps.

And now I get you, about clicking links to twitter from elsewhere in Safari. I normally get to a log in page, after an eternity of twirly whirly page loading thingies and think stuff it and give up.

@ connect ?

What Fresh Hell is this ?

Oh, fuck. I have been doing it allll wrong

< has a screaming abdab >

Peeps have favorited me and I didn't know it !

I shouldn't be on t'internet

Like someone else we know..

Yes accessing twitter from safari is a pain in the a*se... you're halfway through writing a tweet and the browser shuts off.. stuff like that! Must install the twitter app.....

Bwahaha Sperpero in Italian would sound awesome.. It means 'waste'....

Just a rehash with some key facts incorrect but it isn't going away is it, so yay

Ok, feel free to do whatever you want with this. I have no idea what I am doing.

DRAFT PETITION

If John Hemming MP wishes to continue to campaign for reform to the child protection system and to provide advice to vulnerable individuals, on the basis that professionals within the child protection system routinely tell lies in order to secure children for adoption and receive financial rewards for so doing, Mr Hemming should either:
a) provide evidence for his assertions; or
b) refrain from making such assertions; or
c) resign as a serving Member of Parliament forthwith

Jeeze reading a twitter 'argument' from the night before is possibly the most confusing thing I have ever done.

I'll never get those hours wasted back !

The MNBorg name for the Evil Cunning Genius of the "squished together two" (from now on referred to as STT, so we can write to them in order to give gravitas to all pur sweeping statements) is.....

Cos it works.

And it makes me happy that we turned around me being wolloped behind Spero like the backend of a pantomine horsie into something nice.

You all owe me this much.

Cos she got the good looking end.

Spero

Copied and pasted that :)

I'll work on it after dinner :)

I'll never get those hours wasted back !

I did wonder how come everybody was tweeting fifty times faster than me. Hours I have spent reading messages about suasages etc. trying to see if anything was sent to me or retweeted.

Same 'ere

Spero, are you thinking of making it a petition on the Number 10 website?

@confuddled

What does the number 10 website have to do with change.org? Help, confused

I have no idea. someone mentioned petition and I thought that sounded great - we can tweet it out to all our followers! I know there are various ways of doing this but I am not sure which, if any, we were going with.

I missed that change.org was mentioned. Number 10 has a petition page that saves people manually gathering a petition and carrying it to Downing St. All official and proper like, the PM has to answer them.

Do I still get to sign even if I don't live in Britian ?

Ooooh, Nr10

Do I get to sign even though I am a forriner? I am resident here and pay my taxes here...

Life got all complicated today: visitors! People to visit! Guinea pig information gathering mission!

May need to catch up later.

All your chatting about Twitter is really not tempting me to try it, what with 'connect' buttons and multiple screens and difficulties in following conversations and The Borg and ShaggingSheep .

Carpe, can you live with someone for 10 minutes?

It is the downside of the #10 petitions but it does get a response. At 10,000 signatures someone from the relevant office has to respond and at 100,000 (if they haven't decided to take action at 10k) they have to have a back bench debate on it.

Do I get to sign even though I am a forriner? I am resident here and pay my taxes here...

Yes, because that's the same for me

And furthermore, it is time that us forreinnerrs get mentioned for something different from the benefits squabbles.. AH!

Carpe Yes, in fact I'll gather a few American signatures too. I've to add that some American ladies commented "Of course we'll sign to see the resigns or we send Pier Morgan back"

I think the No 10 petition you can only sign if you give a UK address but don't know about the others
