How Not To Deal With Spam
Lefty front-group 38 Degrees have built up a vast mailing list which they can deploy to flood MPs inboxes with whatever the current complaint of the day is. Guido imagines this can be rather tiresome, but all part of being an elected public servant. Before it used to be the green-inkers and the odd post-card campaign from the NUS, but this, after all, is why we pay for MPs to have staff running their offices.
Tory newbie Dominic Raab therefore looks rather stupid playing into 38 Degrees hands by asking them not to email him as “it’s becoming a real nuisance.” Presumably he was referring to spam like multiple emails that the group specialise in, rather than a one off correspondence. The words “own” and “goal” spring to mind.
If he had left it at that then this probably wouldn’t have been a story, but the fact he has now requested his email address be removed from the Parliament website and not made publicly available is ridiculous. Just because the inevitable annoyance of spam doesn’t mean he can shut of the communication channel to everyone. Guido has a piece of advice – fight spam with spam. Set your email account to automatically reply to 38 Degrees spam with a generic response and periodically keep on top of what they are asking without having to read it 500 times. Simple, and saves you looking like an idiot.
Twat
“If he had left it at that then this probably wouldn’t have been a story”
Yes, because as it is it’s an EARTH-SHATTERING SCOOP!
(about some obscure MP moaning about his emails and removing his email address.)
Classic stuff.
oh do fuck off tat
fuck off yourself tat you nutjob
What a dull c/unt that MP must be
He is indeed. I was spammed by him last month when he sent me his crap newsletter 4 times in the space of ten minutes. Since when does an mp include originality in correspondence before being prepared to deal with it? He didn’t seem to mind when his voters all wrote ‘X’ in a box their ballot papers.
Hi , My names Tim Lovejoy and i am a BBC legend who hates spam
3 – 1.
You big gay loser.
Are we doing Stonehenge tonight?
No! We’re not doing fackin stone ‘enge!
Listen lads, nothing to worry about but tonight’s gig is cancelled.
This place isn’t a big college town anyway. Nothing to worry about.
Take the night off and have some fun with this fella…
dominic.raab.mp@parliament.uk
What a dipsh*t.
a dipshit mon is a fuck like ya no worra mean
innit?
Yet the serial incompetence of IPSA means this newbie MP probably can’t afford to have his own staff yet, so is replying to emails by himself.
Shock! Quango is incompetent and wasteful!
labours most expensive and useless but allowed to go on by the condemshits
Sadly, neither Labour’s most expensive nor most useless. But a strong contender all the same.
These MP’s sure are twats.
I willmake a statment on this to the house on Tuesday
You need an e
Ill-IT-erate twat.
There is something a bit hoonish and dishonest about this guy Raab. Keep an eye on him Guido. We can all have fun with the hoon.
I think it just goes to show how clueless many MPs are about the use of basic technology such as email …
refer it to your span folder address book set for auto send and send again every 30 seconds.
I think you will find the average MP is too thick to set up a spam filter.
Can’t we tear into Chris Huhne for his nuclear sized stupidity? I didn’t even know who Dominic Raab was until 5 minutes ago.
Not too bright yourself are you?
I’m aware of my shortcomings.
fuck the duck pump who have you upset? this mong is stalking you period now.
A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception within an online community. In its earliest usage, a sockpuppet was a false identity through which a member of an Internet community speaks with or about himself or herself, pretending to be a different person, like a ventriloquist manipulating a hand puppet.
false concrete pump = There are mongsters..
I thought it might be ‘old nick heavenly’, but he would use his moniker.
Seems my stalker’s only defence is to accuse anyone who answers my posts as being me. A bit lazy really.
I suppose i should be pleased that i’ve managed to have such an effect on someone.
I reckon my stalker has only been posting here for about 2-3 months.
They may be missing someone else, I suggest, concrete. They will have to wait whilst he swims in the warm water and ogles beautiful young naked female specimens of his race (dirty bugger).
Take it as a compliment, mate. Isn’t it great when you get right up the nose of someone who hates you?
your stalker is TwAT
Why should he worry?, he won’t be sitting in the dark and freezing to death.
Read a letter in the Sunday Telegraph from a bloke defending the reliability of wind power versus tide power. Has this numbskull ever been on a sailing vessel?
Stone the crows, there’s more out than in!
These dopes live in a dreamworld! *sigh*
Lovely spam
pig in a blender then in a compacter
Ears and snouts and the parts that other butchers can’t reach. Spam a.k.a. Plastic Pig.
Nice in a sandwich with picalilli and a pint, though.
Pint o best and a spam sarny barmaid.were the fuck do you drink?nells county!
So we get rid of one lot of twats to be replaced by another load of twats ?
Great init
Either he wants to be an MP or he doesn’t.
Fuck him and his ilk.
he is only voicing what they would all like it to be like.
That fucking sky news have just broadcast a human rights lawyer , Alpa Satay(twat name) saying the case at the Hague of Charles Taylor is done and dusted as he is guilty as charged.I expect the judges to kick off about this over night as it will give Taylors team a major advantage.

MPs need to get up to date. I recently signed up to a 38 degrees email letter to my MP (on a subject close to my heart but which would get little sympathy from you lot.) To my surprise, he replied in letter form immediately. Since it was a standard government reply (and complete fob off) sent to thousands in other constituencies, I wondered why he hadn’t simply emailed the response. With mass organised petitions/letters and mass responses on the increase, MPs can be spared the niceties of House of Commons envelopes.
My local MP sent me a letter demanding I look in to a problem someone had asked her about and she wanted action and demanded an answer!
So I read the letter carefully and put it in my in tray giving the matter due consideration and thought as I didn’t want to rush to conclusions.
So, after a few weeks I thought I had better do something about it. Shock horror! The MP woman had not been re-elected so I didn’t have to worry after all. She was just currying favour with locals as she wanted votes. This MP is now in the House of Lords but strangely, for a lifelong lawmaker, she seems to have lost all interest in the demand for my action on what was a very minor point. Maybe she doesn’t need votes after all!!
I sent one to that Hunt Kilfoyle who is killing pensioners via http://www.theyworkforyou.com/ as I got no reply direct,that was over 2 years ago,so they are all as useless

Hardly. Is 38degrees a constituent of his? He is a twat for being unable to block emails and whining like a child but that doesn’t mean he *must* deal with 38degrees in any way shape or form.
No muppet. The emails are from his constituents, who have used the model text provided by 38degrees. It doesn’t matter if he wants to deal with the campaign group or not, but what he’s attempting to do is cut off contact from his own voters
Cant he get his butler to do it for him?
Cameron’s one-sided crusade on cheats | Left Foot Forward
http://www.leftfootforward.org
David Cameron has announced a war on ‘welfare cheats’. But the £5.1bn welfare gap – only £1.5bn of which is cheating – is dwarfed by the £40bn tax gap.
Not much longer to wait before Ed Miliband rips into David Cameron at PMQ’s
” Sorry , Theres no money left “
Do people still read that blog?
The expected cost of the war is estimated at 3.4 billion.
Without a shot being fired!
Ho ho. Don’t I look a proper c#unt now.
You are right Martin, let’s get some tax off Kinnock’s Lad, Tony Blair’s overseas earnings, Millibands capital gains, Patsy Hewitt’s directorships, Michael Meacher’s rents from his eleven houses etc. etc. etc
What about Hoon & his 7 properties?
I’m no expert on this computery stuff, but isn’t there such a thing as a spam filter? Can’t the Parliamentary system be managed to block serial piss-takers such as these?

I resent your comment. Cats can be foulmouthed too in much more insidious ways.
Add an email rule to put them into a folder you never look at.
Simples.
Or don’t download them at all.
spamming is a criminal offense.
Offense is an offence!
easier said than done in a corporate environment.
I’m no computer expert but my spam filter diverts all the Nigerian bank details, gambling schemes, special drugs for manhood and genuine fake watch e mails straight in to a separate file. I then delete the lot in one go as I tidy up from time to time.
Simple innit!
mine does not even allow them to show up in my email at all.and automatically reports them as spam to the proper authority.
My more sophisticated version, identifys the source of the e mail then hunts the fuckers down and cuts their balls off. I get a text every time this occurs.
Off to Wormwood Scrubs so no posts from me for 4 years
Nah, you’ll be out in 6 months.
Porridge and eight to the inch. Have fun!
Don’t forget “soap on a string”
Yawn. (snore).
Hmmmm….only 4 years for using the wife and kids as ballast for a new patio? Makes you think don’t it?
This MP is seriously ridiculous – yes it is annoying, but has he ever heard of delete? Not only that, but how does he know his constituents are not using this means to contact? Nice, ignore at your peril!
Isnt it time there was a recipient charge for un-solicited spam
Even 2p a shot would put these mothers out of business.
you are a twat stop swearing
no you is a twat you cun’t

Why can’t Britain have the same courage as the German one when it comes to muzee extremism?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-10911542
German police have shut down the Hamburg mosq*e where the 9/11 hijackers met.
Police said they believed the Taiba mosq*e was again being used as a meeting point for extremists.
The cultural association that runs the mosq*e has also been banned.
“We have closed the mosq*e because it was a recruiting and meeting point for I*lamic radicals,” said Frank Reschreiter, a spokesman for Hamburg’s state interior ministry.
I tried to go into one and got stopped at the gate,not the door.They all gave me looks as if to say whats he want here?Oh shit don’t let him in.You don’t know what they have hidden under that white vesty thing,a machete or dagger.

Guido thinks real news that the msn won’t publish is spam.
Sorry, but I was under the impression that “looking like an idiot” was in the MP job description nowadays. Don’t they have to give instances & dates in the CV’s or something?
Like this you mean?
notice the comments in general put him down as a mong.
Advice on the Foreign Office website reminds tourists visiting the United Arab Emirates that local laws reflect the fact it is an Islamic country.
So essentially the same as England then.

“we pay for MPs to have staff ”
We?
During the election campaign did Mr Rabb and his flunkies send individually tailored leaflets to each house in Esher and Walton, or did he just SPAM all potential voters with the same CCHQ-generated messages?
And did he check that each household wanted to receive his election communications or just keep SPAMMING them with leaflets regardless?
And did he keep a list of addresses of voters who had contacted him to say they didn’t want to have leaflets put through their doors, and make sure his people didn’t continue to SPAM them with unwanted junk mail?
No?
In that case he fuck off.
I see that Raab has been quoted on the Beeb as saying that this is a problem because it distracts him from being able to reply to genuine letters and emails from constituents in a timely manner.
Sorry, reply to constituents in a timely manner? I assume he’s one of the new MPs then?
When I was young spam was something you had to eat now it is emails that you dont want, I am still trying to see the connection (maybe it is my age)
