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.)

Carpe, I've pmed you.

Carpe

I am always on call darling, so email me anything you want me to translate ;)

Might be a bit tipsy but still can translate well ;)

Well, if not being sober is a reason for an MP to out people and children's names online, I can still claim I was tipsy whilst posting this on mumsnet lol

The Independent mentioned me!! The poster who challenged Hemming calling his Lord of the Rings theory out as crap, bwahahaha

Well done everybody!! Wine

No way!! Shock

PacificDogwood · 02/01/2014 20:34

Mr Hemming published an Italian court order, which the website said was in breach of UK reporting restrictions on the case.

I luffs the BBC Grin - they've got it!

MaryZ, actually that is pretty good reporting. And its the BBC!

I have no probs with that.

No, its not the full story, but you can't dictate to the media what they report. be thankful it just about gives the story straight!

PR is a poisoned chalice.

PacificDogwood · 02/01/2014 20:39

Yes, the link is crap as it's so out of date and its content is now known to not be accurate.

PacificDogwood · 02/01/2014 20:40

The American link simply offers a link to the DM story - I am so NOT clicking on that

IamtheZombie · 02/01/2014 20:41

Once the snowball starts rolling it just picks up more momentum and gets bigger. Grin

CarpeVinum · 02/01/2014 20:43

I've given up on them getting it right.

It just makes it easier to get the synopsis out to people who are primed to prick up their ears.

Tweeting The real story of what happened in HemmingGate on mumsnet plus link to pur synospis is going to be a lot more proudctive than oi! look what this poltician did! Put down the LOL cars! ai said OI! Hello ! Am I INVISIBLE? was.

Never have I felt more head/wall/bang than the last few weeks.

I'll take what I can get, so as to run with at he moment.

Andif amunby and the party whips do act, well at least people will be more inclined to pay attention to those stories a few weeks down the line, cos .. the are primed by the hook being played out now.

You will explode in frustration if you send a message out and it is not repeated verbatim....this is PR...

Don't worry. The work is good. Onward and Upward!

Zombie's thinking that the more public exposure it gets - even when they pick the naughty step angle - the more likely it is that JH will come under pressure to face the music from those who wield the baton.
