Did you ban John Hemming (the MP) for outing me ?

999 replies

CarpeVinum · 21/12/2013 23:47

Cos he isn't on The Thread.

And I'd like to know why.

I am immaginging that the party whip we've been phoning, emailing and twittering has tied him up and run off with his keyboard.

Can I hang on to that fantasy, or did you ban him ?

It's not the end of the world to me that he posted my twitter account, knowing it was me and knowing it was my real name. But I will quickly drum up some minding if required to purge MN of his presence.

Now all we need is for Birminham councillors t chec their bleeding email Grin

How many "I"m on holiday, piss off" auto replies did you get ?

I got loads. Still, maybe they'll check on the sly.

Only 1 Confused - what am I doing wrong?

Or are the M to Z MPs all eager beavers and actually at their desks?
Well, tomorrow. Not tonight, it being Sunday. And half 9 and all.

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 21:37

Over 900 now.

Turning it off.

It is scaring me.

I am more used to single figures. Like 3.

You got all the non lazy buggering off on holiday people.

Yay!

Some will be reading now Grin

yay! good work!

see John? transparency works!

We don't care you can see what we are doing, because the truth will always win over fudging and conspiracy nonsense.

This is what happens when you haven't the intellectual will to engage meaningfully with your critics.

found a thread where he not only states the system is evil but also states that social workers take children off people because they view them as a 'commodity'

He also explains how his klaxon works Grin

madamdfarge... did you see this?!

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 21:48

yes! Great Isn't it?

John is now refusing to engage with Damian Stewart, who has offered him a proper debate about all his issues....

Just spotted it on twitter.

MurderOfGoths · 29/12/2013 21:52

Has he told him he's too busy going down the pub?

Ooh, Murder, I've never wanted a like button before on here, but for that last post...

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 21:57

something about not engaging with a document that he did not produce, even though it has his name as the author on it....

I can't quite work it out. Quelle surprise.

Madame At least his debating "technique" is consistent I guess Confused

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 22:06

yes. never knowingly over delivered.

Spero · 29/12/2013 22:28

Westmorland, thanks for that link! Just had a little trip down memory lane, what was I saying in 2011 I wonder...

Thank you RB. But be careful what you wish for!

JH - please do explain to me how my précis above misrepresented your argument. I genuinely don't understand.

But this appears to be your modus operandi does it not? If faced with an issue or question you do not like or with which you cannot grapple, you either ignore the question, accuse the questioner of bias or, god help us, refer to some kind of spreadsheet.

Unlike you JH I follow the holy dictum of 'look at the facts, only the facts. Not what you would wish them to be, not what suits your purpose or your prejudices'

The real evil you do is bury genuine concerns about the why the system sometimes fails vulnerable children and families and stifle real productive debate, under a mountain of stinking putrid offal and clear out and out lies which you must KNOW to be lies, unless you are as mad as your many followers.

I will await the findings of the European Court. If they find that Wall LJ is corrupt I will accept that finding with great shame and sorrow. But will you accept a finding that goes against you??

ducks as huge herd of pigs goes whizzing overhead and Judas Iscariot hands out ice skates in Hell.

Spero · 29/12/2013 22:30

Plus ca change eh.

So the debates off ? Sad face.

But I bet we could winkle out one of his followers to a debate. They all share the same qualities of deluded arrogance.

Who is up for emailing. Ian Jospehs or Brendan Flemming?

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 22:31

hats off to Spero And Maryz and others fighting the good fight for bloody years...

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 22:32

seconded !

I swear I do not know where you got the energy to do this for YEARS from.

OP posts:
PacificDingbat · 29/12/2013 22:33

Yes, absolutely hats off - but: it is quite irksome that blood years have been spent and he's still at it.

Spero, yy to 'stifling' genuine debate about how/when the system goes wrong being by all this 'offal' (love the word 'offal'. Offal, offal, offal Grin).

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 22:35

Errr....

Looks like we'll hit 1000 page views of the HemmingGate page tonight.

Xan I open Wine now ?

Since I am off twitter and on stats duty ?

Me and Pacific did our derail penance with masses of emailing and everyhting.

Spero · 29/12/2013 22:35

Poor Maryz. I bet her sense of déjà cut is as strong as mine!

And where is Hester? She was brilliant, I think I saw her on an adoption thread recently but she has not joined in, unless name changed.

O yes, it's been a long hard road, but look what comes to those who wait! The mills of god grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small.

My reward for years of struggle has been some media savvy Italian speakers.

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 22:35

wine time all around

Spero · 29/12/2013 22:36

Deja vu dammit.

Deja cut is more JH's line.

Well done on the emailing, I do hope there are some results.

If there are not, it will not be for lack of trying on your parts.

PacificDingbat · 29/12/2013 22:36

I thought you weren't looking anymore? Wink
