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

[CarpeVinum]

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.

If they are charging £16 for advice, they must be on their uppers!

And are obviously not paying their gimps enough to get high quality gimpage. This familyjustice person is a disappointingly low quality adversary.

I quite fancy a leather apork Pie Hat. I reckon I could rock that look.

In terms of 16 quid... is it like the poundland of legal advice then ?

Probably.

worth every bleedin' penny though.

It's more like the alcoholic homeless guy of legal advice who is asking you to spare some change.

So like totally CrackLawyerTeam then.

That's an old melvinscomment thread iirc

Fucker.

Merry Christmas you fighters for truth and justice

arhhh, so a quick advanced search, ignight the zombie thread, and reel them in.

So those with the long experience, was it pure ambulance chasing, or The Army For The Wronged One makingbthemselves known ?

We aren't going to have to draw up a rosta are we ?Bagsie me not in the morning.

Merry Christmas Devora

Shakin' Stevens is on. I love it. So sad.

if Irc melvin is also thought to be JH? JH's middle name being Melvin?

Bed!

I have to install a driver and a minecraft mod in the morning so presents work.

I am dreading it.

This time I will not manage to delete windows.

Wishing you all a lovely Christmass day.

Mmmm. They are getting bolder.

But what is the POINT of it all? This can't just be about JH's personal vendetta as so many others have taken the baton with alarming vim and vigour.

Is it just a way to screw the vulnerable out of what little money they have? Or milk the legal aid system by running up bills for pointless appeals a la Flemming?

I worry it is something much more sinister unfortunately Spero, and bigger than JH who is merely (in my view) a mouthpiece.

In my bleaker moments I have entertained the idea that the gov is encouraging fear and hatred for present system so it can replace it with a much cheaper tribunal system to remove children on an administrative basis.

I know I run the risk of looking like a conspiracy nutjob but I struggle to understand how JH is allowed to roam free without some kind of official sanction.

Cock up theory. Better a nutjob holding that precious extra seat for you, than no seat at all.

I think only his constituency party can deselect him. That can be almost impossible.

Plus he runs the libdem group in brum.

So the only way out of the MP thing is for him to lose his seat at the next election.

Any one fancy some electioneering in Yardley next time round?

I think I will channel Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire on the hustings for Charles Fox.

Sorry, forgetting my manners .

Having read some of the other threads, I admire your tenacity. I've also not been able to get it out of my head. Regardless of what happened in his family, to be so reckless with other people's families to further (or try and prove) your own agenda is just evil.

And I genuinely got the impression from his words that his need to prove 'them' wrong comes from a burning fury at being called wrong himself - not from any desire to help others. Vindictiveness, not philanthropy.

Having worked in central government, the venality and stupidity of some MPs isn't a surprise - which is why I incline towards his being tolerated for the sake of his seat. I presume there isn't an obvious successor and the party isn't about to draw attention to his flaws if it might lose them the seat.

If i was doing something like this in my job I would have been sacked a long time ago.

I really hope the lib dems are taking note. MP Mike Woodcock hasn't done them any favours over the last few days either. The LibDems do seem to have a habit of attracting the weird and wonderful rather than the usual fat cats/ union members of lab/con. At least you know where you stand with that.

Don't know what to think anymore - I was until recently a lib dem supporter.

sorry, Mike Hancock.

I have no idea what any of you are

er, I am a laydee?

well... I'm a pig, in a blanket, formerly known as sausage.

If that helps

Ahem

....On about but i hope the Minecraft stuff works out ok

Well, it's not impossible to create the opportunities for someone to make an unpleasant twat of themselves publicly. Whether that affects voting behaviour is a different matter; we get the MPs we can be bothered to vote for, after all...
