Curly's Corner Shop, the blog!

Without being a millionaire, just how do you pursue a libel?

A (supposedly) anonymous blogger who publishes a tawdry despicable and shitty blog going under the name of David’s Wise Word and published using the pseudonym “Fat Councillor” has taken upon himself to publish LIES and LIBELS freely and without any hesitancy about me.

This vile and cretinous individual has defamed and libelled me in this post, I provide this thumbnail as evidence in case there are any quick “fixes”

This slimy low life thinks he can say and do as he pleases simply because some of us cannot necessarily afford to pursue a libel action, there are other avenues and means. Here is a thumbnail of my comment (just in case it gets deleted)

The author of the blog will know of my feelings and will know of this post as soon as the ping reaches Blogger.com

The author probably knows too that some of us have a very good idea of who he is. Be warned, I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONTINUE MAKING THESE UNJUSTIFIABLE ATTACKS AND LIBELS, and don’t even THINK of any bullying tactics!

The official Statement of Nominated Persons (the candidates) for the Jarrow constituency (there are two constituencies in South Tyneside, South Shields and Jarrow).

Plain old Victor Thompson to stand in General Election

I have to say that this has come as a bit of a surprise to me, if I was asked two months ago to predict which of the South Tyneside Independent Alliance councillors wanted to have a tilt at Westminster I would plumped for Ahmed Khan or Allen Branley, because one has the money and the other has the ego!

However on 8th. April the Independent Alliance announced on their website that they would not be fielding candidates in the General Election, so having looked at the official Statement of Nominated Persons for the South Shields constituency I was even more taken aback to see that (a) Cllr. Vic Thompson has been nominated, and (b) he has no official “description” against his name. i.e. No official party, neither Tory, Socialist, Nationalist, Environmentalist, Raving Mad Loony, South Shields man, or anything at all. He’s just plain old Victor Thompson!

This begs a few questions:

• Why has he decided to throw his lot in with South Tyneside Council and not seek re-election in the Westoe ward (the Alliance Independent candidate there is Jane Branley’s brother Paul McVay)?
• Why does he want to represent me as my MP in Westminster?
• What qualities, experiences, and achievements could he bring to the role?
• Would he be a more vociferous voice for me in Westminster than he was for the folks of Westoe?
• Why has he decided not to make use of a “description”?
• Why did the South Tyneside Independent Alliance draw back from their earlier thoughts of fighting the General Election?
• Is Vic Thompson comfortable and at ease with recent Independent Alliance electoral decisions?

I shall be putting these questions to him by email and publishing his response as soon as I have it.

It was one of the great slogans that heralded the arrival of “New Labour”

Via Dizzy Thinks, yet I’ve just heard a person from the Electoral Commission on the radio saying that the younger voters amongst the most highly engaged in the political process for this election!

“This was an unprecedented situation” – Lord Adonis, Transport Secretary.

Just been listening to Radio 5 Live after walking back from school to hear Lord Adonis, the Transport Secretary, being wheeled out by Gordon to “big up” the news story about how Labour has done everything that it possibly can to help those stranded abroad after the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Many of the travellers, of course, had different thoughts.

Having defended the government’s case in front of Paxo last night, they’d even wheeled out Dame Deirdre Hutton, of the Civil Aviation Authority to say that it was a “situation without precedent”.

Oh really? (This was Mt. Etna in 2001)

Adonis repeated this ridiculous statement this morning to Nicky Campbell saying that volcanic eruptions don’t happen every day in Europe, and “that this was an unprecedented situation”.

Of course there is plenty of known precedent of politicians talking a load of old cock!

Meanwhile South Shields MP and Foreign Secretary David Miliband was suggesting yesterday that those thousands of people stranded abroad, running out of cash, living hand to mouth, should reply upon “that Great British spirit” to get them through, and incredibly advised then that they ought to enforce their rights on airlines!(A sure sign of someone cosseted by the comforts of the job).

One might have hoped that our government could at least do that bit for them.

Thanks to Shane Greer for passing this one along (and very good it is too)

Alastair Campbell, Ann Widdecombe, Lynne Featherstone, Nadine Dorries, Peter Tatchell, Anne Diamond, Dermot Murnaghan, Nigel Farage, Guido Fawkes, Tory Bear, Shane Greer, and a few others (please fill in the blanks) are all in it.

Incidentally, just who are Guido and Tory Bear dancing with?

The big question, as I watch this in South Shields following some more door stepping, is will it waken folks from their slumbers? The expenses scandal still hangs over people like a cloud of volcanic ash, interest in this election is high amongst the political classes, but on the streets of the Rekendyke ward this morning it was not registering on the Richter Scale of seismic activity.

Update

Iain Dale has the full list

Why is this man hiding his identity?

He stays out of South Shields and goes on the road to promote Labour (but not Gordon Brown) wherever he can, so long as it isn’t here, and he makes videos for his new blog, yet considering that he was a member of Brown’s government which has fought so hard and so long to introduce ream after ream of anti terror laws, and to frighten us all into carrying expensive National ID Cards and be recorded onto a national ID database, why is he working so hard to hide his own identity in this video? (Surprised he didn’t get Capt. Jean-Luc Picard to do a voice over for him)

We know who you are!

Dead soap character preferred over Gordon!

Just been having a good look through David Miliband’s election leaflet which is currently being delivered across the South Shields constituency, and I could not help but notice that the man on the left (Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, Mr. Miliband’s boss) doesn’t even get a look in. That’s right, no picture, no words of thanks or praise, no quotations,zip, zilch, nothing at all. It’s as though Labour’s Prime Minister has been totally air brushed out of the campaign – gone, vanished!

In his place we get pictures and/or quotes from South Shields “celebs” Ken Gibson, Ray Spencer, Bashir Malik, and dead soap character Vera Duckworth who joins Miliband in repeating the lie that there are more policemen on the beat! We can also see pictures of a man more used to inter galactic space travel, which is pretty apt considering the miles that Mr. Miliband is putting in to stay out of South Shields!

So just why is the Labour Party doing their level best to help us forget about Gordon Brown? Was it something he said, or done, or should have done, you know, like face an election to become the leader of the party or something? I’d not be surprised to learn that the only constituency in the UK to feature the PMs mug on a Labour leaflet might be Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath!

When they come knocking on your door, ask why they are so ashamed of their Prime Minister.
