Draper Gives Masterclass
PR Week are holding a fancy New Media and Blogging conference this week with luminaries like DJ Collins from Google speaking (who incidentally was tapped to go spin do “strategic communications” for Downing Street, had drinks with Brown, told Google he was going, but backed out after a turf war with the bunker heavies before actually moving).
Draper has not withdrawn from the line-up the organisers say. Guido is loooking forward particularly to hearing from Draper how to “Get The Tone Right To Achieve Maximum Coverage” and how to “Perfect your blogger Outreach Strategy”. Also can’t wait to hear “How to Build Relationships with Bloggers”. Presumably by calling them racists.
Guido will also be speaking at the event on the subject of “sophisticated blogging”. Honestly.
UPDATE : It is sold out.
And through the looking glass we go. You don’t even have to bother parodying anything anymore because it will already have happened for real. Argh!
“Psychotherapisr with http://www.diy-therapy.com !!!!
You couldn’t make it up.
Next copy Kate Garraway – what is an apparantly attractive and intelligent woman doing with such a slimy hoon?
Garraway “attractive and intelligent”?
Are you partially sighted???
This may be an opportune moment to remind fellow posters that I may have given the delightful Mrs D a damn good sorting out..over the bonnet of my triumph spitfire, when I was 17.
Then…she may have been an absolute animal..with nipples like Scammel wheel nuts!
Kate Garraway is not a minger like those that were on the front bench window dressing particularly that one that inspired Richard Timney to hand shandying!
Rumour has it he helps himself. At taxpayer’s expense.
(P.S. That’s one steamy screen-name, by the way!)
(I meant S-in-L, not flipping Aarono-thingy.)
Please don’t link to him Cinna: it just makes him worse.
Guido: “Presumably by calling them racists
…or windowlickers – mocking disabled kids is so Derek.
Its now “being redeveloped”.
Remember – the old one proudly announced Dolly was a member of BACP.
Whats the betting this mysteriously disappears from the new version?
And equally interesting will be the old chestnut “…in Berkeley”, (not “AT Berkeley”); wonder what it’ll be!? It’s quite good seeing DD making a comeback, because every so often I long for the total twat to make a guest appearance and remind us all just what a prize Huhne he really is! Very entertaining!!!
Maybe he meant psycho therapist and the space bars playing up again.
Or if it played up twice it could be a subliminal confession…
You can’t keep a good man down. In some ways it’s a good thing – the more he’s in the public eye the more he reminds everybody of the dreadful tossers NU Labour employ to spin the garbage they laughingly call policy.
better than a whole run of saturday night live. tee hee
Second!
Well done, you managed to avoid the moderator – maybe because you guessed right!
You still failed to reach my heights of cnutishness
D A we know what camp your in, and it ain’t pretty, and it ain’t clever!
To be fair, he did get rather a lot of coverage. All of it negative, mind you, but you can’t fault him for trying.
Worrking on the premise that there’s no such thing as bad publicity?
I see he’s managed to get most of the reviews removed by Amazon on his Life support book. Funny how they left the 5* review by him under his nom de guerre of Anna Price.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/1848500440/ref=cm_cr_pr_recent?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
I thought that stupid cnut had gone for good.
Please report back to us here on the reaction to him, maybe even a planted McPoison question or two??
Also I like the advert that describes Dolly as “Editor of Labourlist” – when he isnt, and hasn’t been for a while now…
No mention of Red Rag?
probaby because it ermbarrasses you…keep taking the medication for it Ooohhh *red ring* you poor soul
(
He’s got balls – you gotta admit that. Complete tosser but fair play to him – gives people chance to go out for a fag & a pint of lager top.
The fags and pints come to me – the latter borne by the former. Some things never change.
He’d be a freak if he hadn’t.
A better title for this event would be “Corrupting the Blogosphere”
That’s where he’s been hiding.
“sophisticated blogging” ROFL. God, what bollocks.
That’s what I like about you __________________fuck all
That’s fuck all more than everyone else here thinks about you!
The guy’s anational treasure, absoutely brilliant.
I think you mean notional treasure.
The Penguin
An optional tosser
‘Absolutely *totally* brilliant, Damien?’
The guy is an alion at treasure
‘Guido on the subject of sophisticated blogging’ – rather like Moss Keene leading the Irish pack, saying ‘ They think were just a bunch of thick Paddies, lets go and show them we are’.
DIY therapy? That’s Marston’s Pedigree, isn’t it?
Not for Master Baiter it isn’t..!
Good point!
So in Draper’s world being PC is still on the menu,f██ckin outreach what an unword,more s██te from from the man of █████
Excellent – well done… a “redacted” statement.
I wonder if the tax office will allow my accounts to be redacted.
*yawn*
I suppose bloggers will go the way of lobby correspondents eventually and become the colons through which politicians release their crap upon the public.
If you’re so unhappy here, why not just fuck off to Labourpissed?
The Penguin
When my eldest son was a little lad he was prone to mispronunciations – his rendering of sophisticated was “defisticated”.
Seeing Guido described as sophisticated made me think that the alternative rendering could be applied to Draper in the post McBridegate era.
thank you for that defisticated comment Mr D.
I would be a little careful about letting your master know you are making nasty remarks about autosomal recessive genetic disorders. He might take it personally.
Love that!! how about )-( as in Chinese )!(
Only if they pay extremely well.
The Penguin
What’s up has Liebour only got enough money for the trolls to work half days.
they can’t afford the proper trolls like me.
Say! Any of you guys know how to Madison?
This is priceless, does this nomark gobshyte fantasist actually have any self awareness at all?
This ridiculous craven oaf, willing online sewer of hate filled, bully Brown, and the vermin McBride is giving advice on citizen journalism, that is beautiful.
I will be paying particular attention to his sage advice on how to best to fabricate and disseminate smear stories and hate filled lies into the public domain…as a citizen journalist.
I know he can’t get much work as a psychotherapist but seriously how fucked in the head would you need to be to seek advice from a wankstain like Draper?
Unfortunately Draper probably thinks dropping one’s trousers and openly waxing the dolphin on the Circle Line satisfies the “maximum coverage” meme, and thus measures the quality of his life and career on headlines and column inches, rather than the trickier-to-achieve principles and personal dignity route.
No. I think he could go on “not quite a celebrity” big brother.
Mrs. D could perhaps “come dancing” while he’s out of the way.
Sophisticated blogs are doomed to fail. That’s all you need to say, Guido. Where would we be without Tat and Ewanme, etc? Don’t tell me Dolly is being paid for his contribution.
I’m sure he is being paid – which will be why he conveniently “forgot” to tell the organisers that he’s no longer with Labourlost (and certainly not why he isn’t!)
I’m free…!
I’m sure Guido will be more than happy to enlighten them……………..
lol – I’m sure there could be more moderation if Guido really wanted to, the truth is that he probably doesn’t care as long as it’s not going to get him sued (which is much more likely if the comments are pre-moderated , as Guido would be publishing them rather than the author).
I’m surely not the only one amused by the thought of a half-drunk Irishman sitting with his laptop in the pub going through the replies, and adding up the advertising revenue… Keep up the good work Guido!!
Moderation is a form of censorship which conflicts with freedom of expression.
On the other hand I do wonder on occasions if some of the more obscene comments are coming from McBride and Co with the eventual intention of closing Guido down as obscene.
me willys big.
Perhaps Dr Draper should eschew the DIY therapy in favour of some of the real stuff?
They may say he has not withdrawn but he’s not listed as a speaker
Where’s Derek
Who’se this Dr Ceceila piece he hangs about with on diy-therapy.com ? Very much more diy than therapy.
Her academic credentials are not overly apparent from the web, just a bit of a puff about her TV appearances.
Anyone know a website with instructions for doing an at home triple bypass with a Swiss Army knife, that can’t be too difficult surely?
She’s the other winner of the prize that Drippy claims he won 2 years running. I posted this on his blog a while back:
If you are so honest, why does your CV still carry the more than slightly disingenuous claim to be “the MIND 2007/2008 Journalist of the Year”?
The word “the” gives the very strong impression that you were the sole winner of the prize, when you weren’t. You shared the prize with Cecilia D’Felice, did you not? Therefore, you should write “one of the MIND Journalists”, to be absolutely clear.
As for your “2007/2008″, that is again a disingenuous statement, as it was only for 2007 (according to MIND, anyway). You were not even nominated for 2008. For the sake of absolute clarity, you should change your CV to “one of the MIND 2007 Journalists of the Year”.
Drippy’s blogspot is still up, but his diy site and derekdraper.net are both under reconstruction.
Derek? First name terms with him are you?
Now he has found God Guido is hoping for a Christmas card.
I’d not spotted that one.
Its Jonty again isn’t it?
Why do you want a christmas card guido, have you found god too?
43 was supposed to be a rely to Mr. shorts
Zanu Liebore – if you’re not against them, you must with them. Stands to reason. Like.
Capital letter at the start of a sentence, full stop at the end and something intelligent in between might enhance your credibility.
Why don’t you nasty people like me? What have I done?
Who are you again?
Mrs. Dale reports on iain Dale’s Dreary that you lot don’t like me:
“[Huhneovabitch] seemed far more bothered by the fact that Guido’s commenters call him a ****”
http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2009/06/bloggertariat-v-commentariat.html
Whatever have I done?
Thanks for the link.
I read the Times online a lot, but I had seriously never heard of Aaronovitch. Is being an anonymous commentator worse than being called a hoon on here?
Mind your language – anonymous commentator indeed.
Aaronavitch is a fat conceited, opinionated slob. Amazing he didn’t put himself forward for the job of speaker. And he was pro the war v Iraq. Now you know!
Half the board has gone missing?
“DIY psychotherapy”? At a rough guess I’d day our Glorious Leader’s done Draper’s course.
His wife is trying to find Britains biggest loser, when she’s married to him
init old Derek could do with shedding a few pounds himself.
He has a relationship with many bloggers. Not many of them cordial, sadly. And tha’ts HIS fauilt!
Guido – make sure we get a full report after the event…
Does “interacting” include calling your contributors “window-lickers”?
Guido – I’m guessing, but has someone under the alias of Sally in Leather been trying to piss about with you? Seems to have been a bit of (presumably necessary) editing going on.
Thinking out loud, does anyone know where Dolly does any advertising?
If, for example, he had put an ad on here, he would have to pay Guido every time someone clicked it….
There’s nothing obvious on Google, and Labourlost have seemingly removed all reference to the man. In fact, is he doing any work at all??
You may be allowed to sit at Dolly’s feet Guido and get some insight into blogging?
OK I an understand Guido’s attendance, even though sophisticated blogging is pushing it a bit….but Dolly? Unless it is a joke, or a way to get people to attend by giving them a chance to laugh at Dolly I don’t get it. If he was doing something about how not to use blogging, or how not to to massive damage to your own cause then I could see the point , but this…?
Brilliant idea, Damien! This should work out just dandy.
PS. Destroy the e-mails this time.

‘Sophisticated Blogging’, Guido!
I thought you were at the rough end of blogging.
You’d better get McPoison to write your script!
How will he handle the sidebar on spamming the hell out of folk if all else fails?
So PR week is using a discredited and scummy person to advise others on product exposure on blogs?
Considering drapers outbursts, dirt raking and blatant spamming.
Is PR wanting any credibility in a year or is it sell as fast as you can before the internet takes over?
Not very good PR, for PR week!
I remember bernays using that technique to garner sympathy. “Choose a loathsome character to generate public sympathy and generate good will for your product…….
What next.Have they got gary glitter lined up for a conference on child friendly travel destinations?

Have there been any updates from BACP about the complaints they are dealing with about Draper?
You couldn’t make it up
[...] Sadly Guido’s old adversary Derek Draper ducked out of giving us the benefit of his PR and blogging expertise at PR Week’s new media conference at the last moment. Guido had to improvise his speech [...]
