Blogmarole

I see Leighton Andrews is continuing his one-blog protest against the Assembly Commission. Well, at least it has given him something to blog about for a change. Unfortunately both he and Huw Lewis don't seem to grab the context of the Assembly Commission's guidelines, which follow those of Westminster, namely that online party politics is not to be funded by public money. It is funded by political parties, or by the politicians themselves. Making comparisons with communist era censorship is no more acceptable than making similarly disproportionate comparisons with nazi Germany would be.

Spot on comrade.

It is hardly like Leighton writes anything that is anything even remotely opinionated on his blog anyway.

You stupid men. You clearly don't have a clue.

No problem with either of you expressing your opinion. But readers should be aware that you are both so far out of the loop, it is impossible for you to understand what's going on.

Good to see you siding with "Comrade" Ordo here. Try doing some fucking work in Torfaen to elect Labour Councillors the tour the blogs with your views. By the way, how's the record company, comrade?

Well that robs anything you have to say of any credibility to start with.

No, none at all. Blogging is free, you see. That's kind of the point.

But readers should be aware that you are both so far out of the loop, it is impossible for you to understand what's going on.

Last time I checked (which was more recently than you know) the Bay was still online, and the phonelines were working too. Perhaps you should spend less time watching Torchwood, as you are evidently out of that "loop" the rest of us call the Real World.

Whats dissapointing about this comment is that it is probably someone in the Labour Party, or at least a gutless fucking wonder.

I think, with the greatest respect, me and ordo are hardly bedfellows.

Although, fair comment on the Torfaen situation, it clearly was a bad set of results, if you leave your name we can discuss it further?

You live in the back and beyond of gwynedd but you really do think you've got your fingure on the political pulse, don't you? Im not complaining too much, i find your ignorance and arrogance quite amusing.

Marcus seems to think he's the next Nye Bevan. He is in reality a lazy loudmouthed bullshitter with an ego the size of russia. He was sacked in disgrace from his job as PA to irene james. None of his labour colleagues ever liked or trusted him when he was here.

Er, no. I don't waste my time contemplating such mediocre and self-obsessed projections. Now ask your mam for a cup of milk and toddle off to bed, there's a darling.

How are the hookers, Ordo? Screwed any trafficked women lately?

How are the hookers, Ordo?

They're great, in fact we won the Grand Slam again this year. And how did the labotomy go?

"Sacked in Disgrace"

That libellous, leave your name and i will sue you.

Oh nasty stuff, leave your name and i will answer. Playground bully tactics from a gutless wonder..

Sigh, you're clearly not lawyer either Marcus.

I'll say it again: Marcus Warner was sacked in disgrace from his job at the Assembly. He is an untrustworthy liar who smeared and briefed against his boss and leaked like a sieve to his "friends" in the media. It's important people know this and take it into account when reading your bullshit

Even if i was libelling you, from what I've heard, you couldn't afford to sue me.

Clever, see what i did there?

Oh, and what do you think makes you so important to demand my name? Get over yourself, little man.

And i didnt ask you to answer, i am merely stating facts.

I am not going to go tit for tat with someone who i have worked out is posting this, hopefully we bump into each other face to face.

If you are so keen to tell me what happened with my sacking, then prove it, the detail of your answer will give away who you are.

The thing is, i have nothing to lose, i will name names and spill the beans in great detail. You are obviously someone still working at the assembly who cannot put their name forward...I am calling your bluff.

Your point up getting legal advice is funny. If you knew me that well you would know why...

Sigh. You have no idea who I am. You are right in guessing I am one of the twenty "mates" who refused to respond to your messages after you were sacked in disgrace.

But I've said nothing here that isn't being thought by every single one of us, so even a genius like you only has an approx. 1 in 20 of guessing correctly. If you're so confident, name names.

Also, the pathetic and hilarious attempt at blackmail that is your threat to "spill the beans" is not calling my bluff. You spent six weeks at the assembly where, thankfully no one trusted you enough to tell you anything. Go on, I challenge you to spill the beans (that's a proper bluff call).

Re: legal advice. Sorry, I had assumed you would want to emgage the services of a proper libel lawyer not some shady two-bit valleys solicitor (your father-in-law).
