Hunt Cheerleader Louise Mensch Misses Commons Vote

Despite being one of Jeremy Hunt’s most vocal defenders on the airwaves and the twittersphere, Louise Mensch failed to make the Commons vote this afternoon. Other Tory MPs were dragged from hospital beds, funerals and even their own honeymoon to troop through the Lobby, but it seems an exception was made for the member for Corby, who was paired. Why? Because the Queen was visiting her marginal constituency…

            Don’t think so. This site and the Tory party more generally are crawling with bigots, no matter how much they try to hide it.

            Anyway, they’ll be out of power soon enough and for another long stretch, until people forget again just what scum they are.

    To all Guardian Readers.

    It would be preferable and eminently more sensible, that in future, rather than write letters to me in the hope that they would published and read by like-minded people, you should post your comments on the order-order blog. They have a larger readership than usandt not all agree with Poly and myself, so need help in changing their mindset.

      BBC - you must pay us to watch other TV channels says:

      Quick Alan, write an England-flagellating article about the photo of the coloured ethnic with the chain around his neck.

      Whatever you do, don’t mention that the West Africa Squadron was tasked to prevent the Atlantic slave trade, and definitely don’t mention the slave trade that headed East towards the wonderful RoP.

      It’s ok to disapprovingly state that the British had their first colony in West Africa at Sierra Leone, but you must gloss over the reasons for its capital being named Freetown.

      People who read the Guardian are more disposed to dogmatically-held political allegiance (and thus a lower propensity to consider evidence and decide upon the merits) even than those who read the Daily Mail (at which those same Guardian readers sneer in contempt). This occurs by a large margin between the two groups.

    At Leveson yesterday, Major said there’s very good journalism on both sides of the political spectrum, but added that there are some commentators whose columns barely deserves to be called comment. I wonder if he was referring to Polly.

    “Other Tory MPs were dragged from hospital beds, funerals and even their own honeymoon to troop through the Lobby”, why, they had a majority Cammers wasn’t afraid of losing was he, seems like desperation, still doesn’t look good. Everyone ready for Camerons big moment tomorrow, he has details of what has been said, and no doubt he has been trained what to say and how to say it.

    Mensch – appears buoyed by her ‘press persona / per her mugshots in the press’ and some little court victory for her and a few others in respect of trolls on the internet. She called them ‘toxic trolls’ – whooaa …

    I and the vast majority of the British public are sick and tired of the “Toxic Rhetoric & duplicitous spinning of the English language” by Toxic Political Pygmies like Mensch.

    She wouldn’t get away with her spin if she was put to her Oath.

    Leveson News – via e-mail [finally]

    It appears that Amanda Jeffery the Head of Administration at the Leveson Inquiry Team is playing 27 cum 28 day delaying tactics … with her responses…

    Is she concealing ‘e-mail’ exchanges to the inquiry from Brian Leveson and Mr Jay? She ought not to be.
