Maguire Sinks to New Low

All of Guido’s favourite Labour spinners seem to be on exceptional form this morning, Kevin Maguire is up to his usual tricks. On the back of David Wright’s “scum-sucking pigs attack” on the Conservatives, it look likes our Kev has received his orders. This morning’s Mirror reports an extraordinary change of tune from Labour who are now in full furious and deluded spin mode:

Was the hacking of Telford MP David Wright’s Twitter site linked to the theft of his laptop – containing his passwords – from the Commons? It struck me as odd when a poke at the Cons popped up, supposedly Tweeted by him. Scepticism is my middle name but, on this one, I’d believe the Telford lad over his Right-wing accusers. Wright’s no wet lettuce but he’s a straight and thoughtful politician, particularly for a Government whip.

You’re not fooling anyone Kev, Wright sent the message from his mobile phone…

      Get the police to investigate.

      It will be easy to trace the tweet back to the lying bastards phone. A simple case to prove. These MPs are fkin stupid, they dont know that every message can be traced back to its source.

      And as for Toilets McGuire – I dont expect anything else from the low-down pice of shite !

        I guess that Kev Septic Tank Maguire was trying to put a bit of balance into his lying support for Wright with his last bit in this sentence -

        “Wright’s no wet lettuce but he’s a straight and thoughtful politician, particularly for a Government whip.”

        Nice try, Septic but like the rest of your bollox, it failed big time, you arse-licking apology for a man.

      As a military chap – if I had lost a laptop that contained ANY military stuff on it, I would be hung out to dry – quite rightly.
      I wonder if this had any work related issues (as a minister??) and if he paid for this laptop himself – or did he have selected tax-payers fund it for him?

          Apparently someone “stole” his laptop, and then set up a website in his name…

          Now, I’d LOVE to see that website – which I’m betting was set up by him and the laptop theft was just another excuse to get him out of a tricky situation.

            So now they are telling even more lies to try to support the earlier lies caused by his overt and rank cowardice to admit HE said something a bit iffy about the tories?

        So a Govt minister claims his laptop was nicked, and makes sure everyone assumes that his passwords were stored on said laptop.

        And he hasn’t changed the passwords to any of the services he accessed from the ‘nicked’ laptop.

        Either this clungetrumpet is too niave to be allowed out without a care assistant, or he’s lying his bollocks off

        Indeed it was Wright who said that HE had sent the tweet, BUT that he did not write the “scum sucking” part of it. He claimed that HIS ACCOUNT was hacked and the offending phrase added.

        Then, AFTER his cowardly lie was exposed by his IT incompetence and ignorance, he changed his story and came out with the “someone stole my laptop” excuse.

        It does not alter the fact that once a tweet has been posted (whether from a laptop or a phone), it CANNOT BE EDITED! IT CAN ONLY BE DELETED!

        So his lie is now even more blatant. HE wrote the tweet, WHY THE FUCK does he not simply ADMIT IT?

        Because he is a chicken-shit, ball-less, spineless, cowardly lying sack of shit!

        MI6 operatives just back from Dubai on a killing mission have just tweeted that as cover for their little escapade they decided to tweet from a Labour Party MP account that the Tory womens Hunts smell worse that Hariet Halfman.

        Mosad have denied all knowledge of tweeting, but admit they too were in Dubai for the show and provided the Tennis equipment. But were not repeat not responsible for any tweets.
        The people's liberation Army for Palestine have claimed responsibility for the major offensive tweet via their UK branch.

        George Galloways lack of respect party, said I agree init m8 Labour women is clean downstairs, i've had them all I should know. Wish I had thought about the tweet, shit now I will have to do my rubbish radio show again. drat.

        Gordon Brown has announced a review, he wants to know if he can tweet abuse at Cameron over the despatch box instead of having to go to PMQ.

        Tweetgate will live with the UK people forever, said Daveboy Cameroon, it is a sorry state of affairs when MI6 would rather attack Tory women than kill middle east scumbags.

    David Wright is in a bigger hole if Waugh isn’t mistaken.

    “If you look at Wright’s website then you’ll see it carries a Twitter box. This is the place that carried the offending Tweet, as well as a stream of other anti-Tory messages (including one with the hash tag #toryscum, which he does not deny).

    But a closer look at the site’s terms and conditions also reveals a statement that “this website is funded out of the Communications Allowance of the House of Commons”.”

    While technically it’s true to say that leaving your site pwds on your computer is stupid security-wise, in a lot of instances it’s the only way to store them for all practical purposes.

    If you’ve got 500 different accounts, all with various permutations of different email addresses, userids, and pwds, then how the fuck are you going to remember them all without having some kind of spreadsheet or outlook sticky note on your laptop?

    You need so many logins these days, and using the same pwd for them all is even more dangerous than making a note of them on your laptop, that storing them on your laptop is, realistically, the only way to be able to use the fucking internet at all.

    I think he’s lying about his twitter account being hacked, and I think he’s a fucking idiot who’s spending tax-payers’ money to smear his political opponents, but leaving your pwds on your laptop is in most instances the only practical way to work.

    I know I’ll get lots of security techies saying that I’m wrong, but, as a techie myself who has about 500 ftp and site logins that I have to use, all with different userids/pwds, you can stick your “just remember them all” advice up your fucking arse.

    David Wright MP
    House of Commons
    LONDON
    SW1A 0AA

    16 February 2010

    Dear David,

    I am writing to you regarding comments you appear to have made on Twitter yesterday about the Conservative Party.

    On your Twitter feed, you posted a comment in the afternoon responding to a Conservative advertising campaign featuring people who have never voted Tory before. You wrote: ‘Because you can put lipstick on a scum-sucking pig, but it’s still a scum-sucking pig. And cos [sic] they would ruin Britain.’

    This is the sort of offensive behaviour that turns people off voting. However, instead of apologising for language that demeans the office of a minister of the Crown, you chose this morning to defend it, describing it as ‘legitimate comment’.

    Moreover, rather than owning up to your actions you seem to be trying to claim that your ‘Twitter feed’ was hacked into. This explanation is simply not credible:

    · The ‘Tweet’ was made under your name.

    · You have used similar language in the past on Twitter, including describing David Cameron as a ‘horrible opportunistic scumbag.’

    · Immediately after the ‘Tweet’, you posted again to say that you ‘must’ve hit a nerve,’ and then again that Conservatives ‘do get riled very easily.’

    · You then decided to apologise for the ‘Tweet’

    Only after all of this did you then claim that your Twitter account had been ‘tinkered’ with.

    I would be grateful if you could now stop treating people like fools and answer the following questions:

    · If you did not make the comments, who did?

    · How did the person hack into your account and have you reported the matter to Twitter?

    · When did you first know about this? Is this the first time your account has been hacked into?

    · When did you regain control of your account?

    · Why did you make comments, which you have not disputed making, saying ‘They do get very riled easily don’t they,’ and ‘Oh dear, upsetting Tories again. Must’ve hit a nerve’? If these were not references to the offensive post, what were they in reference to?

    · Why did you make these comments after your account was allegedly hacked into and not offer an apology once discovering your account had been hacked into?

    The Ministerial Code states that ‘Ministers of the Crown are expected to behave in a way that upholds the highest standards of propriety.’ (Ministerial Code, June 2007; section 1.1)

    You are clearly not currently abiding with either the letter or spirit of the Code. I would therefore be grateful if, as a matter of public interest, you could respond to me as soon as possible both to clarify your explanation and to apologise unreservedly.

    Yours sincerely,

    On the airplane on his way back to Rome, the Pope was doing a crossword puzzle.
    After a while, he turned to David Cameron sitting next to him and said, “What’s a four -letter word ending in “unt” which means “woman”? David Cameron said, “Did you try “aunt”?
    The Pope said, “hmmm. Do you have a rubber?”

    Let Maguire rant on to Mirror readers, he will make no difference other than to reinforce their dislike of Tories.
    Maguire is another champagne socialist who has long left his ‘roots’ behind. He is a person who can well £afford£ to patronise Mirror readers in this way, giving them what they want to hear, not what he really believes. Pay him a another million and he would write for the Mail.

    PS.
    Ask him when he’s going back on ‘Have I got News’ . What a hoot he was.

    Brown shouted about unemployment falling at every question during PMQ’s recently so please see these two stories regarding the latest unemployment figures and the slant the State Broadcaster puts on it to make it look really good for Brown.

    Why is this important? Beacause you have to have this propogander beamed into your house by law if you want to watch any other telly? You can avoid it of course but again you could end up being fined by the very same government.

    HEADLINE — Unemployment claimant count rises again

    Economists had expected the number of people claiming unemployment benefit to fall by 10,000 in January
    Gordon Brown’s efforts to win the next general election received a blow today after official figures showed that the number of Britons claiming unemployment benefit rose unexpectedly in January to the highest level since Labour came to power.
    The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said that the number of people claiming jobseeker’s allowance (JSA) rose by 23,500 in January, compared with a fall of 9,600 in December. This is the largest monthly rise in the claimant count since last July, and takes the total number of people receiving unemployment benefit to 1.64 million, the highest figure since April 1997.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/feb/17/unemployment-claimant-count-rises?CMP=AFCYAH

    However the BBC spin on this is as follows……….. and I I jest thee not

    HEADLINE- UK unemployment falls for second month in a row

    The number of 16 to 24-year-olds out of work fell
    The number of people unemployed in the UK has fallen slightly, figures show.
    Total unemployment stood at 2.46 million for the three months to December, down 3,000 on the figure for the previous three months.
    But long-term unemployment, covering those out of work for more than a year, rose by 37,000 to 663,000, the highest figure since 1997

    Now had this been a Tory government how would that article from the State Braodcaster have been worded I wonder?

    name optional says:

    It’s very simple. Hacking can be a criminal offence. Hacking someone like wright could constitute a secutiry risk.

    1. Has wright reported the matter to the police and with what result?

    2. WHEN (if at all) did he change his Twitter passwords? If he was genuinely hacked, I would estimate within ten minutes. If not, he would have overlooked this matter until the first challenge to his account of the matter was made.

    3. Will he give twitter permission to investigate the matter and, given his personal standing is at stake as well as their professional reputation, publish the results of said investigation?

    I wait to be convinced …

    So Kevin Maguire is tweeting to say Unison has been hacked – as if that means Wright was too.

    Funnily enough the person who says Unison was hacked is Mary Maguire.

    The same Mary Maguire who moments after the offending David Wright tweet, posted:-

    @DavidWrightMP keep up the good work 5:19 PM Feb 15th from web in reply to DavidWrightMP

    See it here:- http://twitter.com/MaryxMaguire

    Someone supportive of Wrights offensive tweet – shouting they have been hacked so Big Kev can try to link the two and say lovely Wrighty was hacked too.
