Lord Rothermere ‘Backing Twitter Spoof Gag’
Account Owner Takes Legal Advice

The BBC are now running the Twitter spoof saga. Guido understands that the owner of the Daily Mail, Lord Rothermere, has thrown his weight behind the bid to silence the Northcliffe twitter spoof account. Sources familiar with the case tell Guido that Rothermere was furious after the spoofer referenced allegations concerning a New Zealand love child and an alleged affair with a nanny:

Guido has also learned that the owner of the parody Steve Auckland account is to take legal advice to try to stop Twitter releasing his personal details next week. He will hold discussions with a San Francisco attorney this afternoon after the lawyer offered to take the case on pro bono. He’s not going down without a fight, and the cavalry are coming…

    If any super-injunctions are required I shall grant them.

    Well it's a thought says:

    Whoooo claws out!, must be no news day, after all taxpayers have only been forced to fork out billions for 6 weeks of sheer crap, from the so called non professional athletes and real hangers on of the world.

      I thought it was 2 weeks of sheer crap, at around £6.5billion per week. Plus the £130 fines for driving on public roads that we paid for and own.

      It’s only 2 weeks, then a 2 week gap before the 2 weeks of disabled Olympics that everyone is forced to say they enjoy but no one actually does.

        Except that the para stands for parallel, not paraplegic, apparently.

        Ah, of course. That dismal festival of Political Correctness that we all have to grin and bear, lest the Thought Police come knocking. It reminds me of my favourite Olympic joke (my least favourite Olympic joke is S*b C*e):

        Q: What’s better than getting a Gold medal in the Paralympic games?
        A: Having arms and legs that work.

    Guido could you ask Lord Northcliffe why the matter of his mate Lord Cardigan not being to afford the cost of a visa for his new american wife made it only one day on the front page of the Mail on 3 June 2012?
    We all thought it was a fascinating story and was considering a whip round to help out. But we couldn’t find a whip big enough!

    I can now reveal that I will be lighting the Olympic flame tomorrow to symbolise the re-ignition of the UK economy.

    You are either in front of Guido or behind him.

    It is interested that the sofa surfers who refuse to work will be out on the streets fighting if benefits are cut.

      Don’t worry, after the Weimar Republic headed by Dave, Gideon, Bxllxcks and Miliprat, we will sort things out.

        I’d like to think this was a joke – but fear it is a more accurate prediction than one will find in any of the rest of the Western Media.
