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.

Have been in tweet hell myself this morning over this. Sorted with help of 15 year old. Now just need to work out how to tweet.

I know Women Against Rape. They are, ahem, very maverick. Certainly not in the mainstream of feminist activism. I think it may be pointless to engage further.

Hello, latecomer to all this, but think I've caught up now. I'm on twitter @jessikart - I've been randomly following anyone I see tweeting about this, so if I'm suddenly following you that's probably why.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 30/12/2013 14:14

followed you

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 30/12/2013 14:20

mrselgar Thanks will get right on it.

one found you ! Twitter is hell Grin it just is.

jessie I think I follow you don't ai ? You sound very familiar.

Does anybody know where I can post an entirely unrelated meme pic/text thingie ? Preferably so it goes viral. Cos I am sure that is much eaiser than making TwitterStorm and will take mere minites

Who is good at making memes viral ?

New Statesmen deputy editor @helenlewis might be interested, as might @owenjones84 and @pollytoynbee and @zoeqwilliams @shivmalik1

Don't everyone tweet at these people - if they are interested, one tweet will be enough to inform them. You don't want them to feel spammed by dozens of tweets.

LostInWales · 30/12/2013 14:58

Oh my, just had a 'thank you for the info' tweet from Evan Harris Shock.

Gosh, this is gaining momentum Grin - like any self-respecting oil tanker should

CarpeVinum · 30/12/2013 15:08

S'alright Pacific, yours just work harder, take less holidays and read rather than get shitty with innocent mumsnetters. Those who have seen it, they are clicking

Right, where is Spero or Madame or West... we need a grown up in charge here right now !

OP posts:
WestmorlandPigInBlanket · 30/12/2013 15:11

someone from the independent just retweeted it saying 'Story!'

PacificDingbat · 30/12/2013 15:11

So, Carpe, can you reassure me that you have councillors whose names start from M to Z clicking on your blog?
It would reassure me immensely...

Nope, no grown-up here, sorry.

MadameDefarge · 30/12/2013 15:13

Its all going great. The story hook is of course JH being banned from MN. keep that going and the rest follows...

Has anyone done brum media? or indeed the nationals?

PacificDingbat · 30/12/2013 15:14

Oh, I hope the Independent picks this up and runs with it Smile

CarpeVinum · 30/12/2013 15:15
