I once heard two rumours:

1) Jack Straw is the MP that Oona King referred to when she said an MP offered her £10k to sleep with him

2) Jack Straw and Oona King had an long lasting affair

Neither are true as far as I can tell but a lie gets half way round the world before the truth get it’s boots on…

As far 1. goes, the story as Oona tells it is that she was propositioned by a Labour MEP, not an MP, which rules Straw out completely.

As my update indicates, ’tis but a piss-poor effort to smear Straw as the Minister who allegedly propositioned the late Fiona Jones by raking over the long discounted rumours of his having an affair with Oona King.

In short, the Tories haven;t got the first fucking clue who it was that allegedly propositioned Fiona Jones, so they’re dragging out any old rumours they can find in order to find someone to smear.

Give it a few days and they’ll move on to a different Minister - my guess is that they’ll try Prescott next.

My, my, Unity; I never thought that you’d start “getting your hands dirty” quite so quickly, me ol’ mucker! ;-D

Well, well. No wonder Dominic Fisher didn’t want people to know he was PragueTory (oops, I’ve let it slip again). The problem as regards the libel by juxtaposition is that there is no mention of anything to do with an affair in the piece that you have copied. So let’s hope he can stand up… assaults, burglaries, personal abuse of public funds, cronyism.

Sue me.

Jeebus Dom, but you’re an even bigger fuckwit than I thought!

Why would I want to sue you for libelling someone I’ve never met? In fact, try looking up the words ‘locus standi’, dickhead.

Ah, yes, now I get it - this is a bit of petty bravado isn’t it? Look at me, I told Unity to sue me? Aren’t I clever?

I think I can now see clearly what you ambition in life is, roach-boy - you aspire to be nothing less than Alan B’Stard’s younger brother…

… Dopey.

DK:

Playing dirty? Moi?

Nah - roach-boy’s just nominated himself as my personal scratching post, that all.

As suggested by “Hitchens”, I suspect PragueTory is attempting to refer to the unsubstantiated rumour swirling around that Jack Straw was the cabinet minister who propositioned Fiona Jones. That this rumour was most likely started by Jane Griffiths (see comments on this post on her blog: http://www2.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15067381&postID=6084351152622478431), the embittered ex-Labour MP for Reading who was got rid of for being, shall we say, an “individual”, obviously doesn’t mean that it isn’t true.

Re: Fiona Jones

Isn’t it awfully distasteful and insensitive (not to mention just a little bit inhuman) to use a corpse as a weapon?

PragueTory, what are your thoughts on this?

Guido’s anonymous bullies in action…

This time, my navel is an innocent bystander… take a look at these antics…….

I kind of worry about saying this, because I am a bit worried that this is getting out of control, and there don’t appear to be any Geneva Conventions for blogwars, but on the other hand, there is the important principle of “kick out the jams, motherfuckers” to consider, so I pass this one on as a suggestion:

Surely allowing someone with repulsive views to pose as “Peter Hitchens” on a comments board and post scurrilous material, would at least on the face of it appear to be pretty close to libelling Peter Hitchens. At the very least, it seems like the sort of thing that Peter Hitchens ought to be made aware of, so that if he cares about it he can ask for the Peter Hitchens identity to be banned and a clarification to be posted.

IIRC, Peter Hitchens is quite active in maintaining the Wikipedia page on “Peter Hitchens”, so it shouldn’t be hard to get in touch with him.

Haha, praguetory boy “so sue me” ever so macho at that keyboard.

Odious tory tossers deserve all the heat being turned on them at the moment. Note “peter hitchens” and the anti-semite full-on racist “hook nose” comment. No class wannabe tossers, the lot of them.

PragueTory is the most pathetic type of internet bully; sucker-punches, kicking, gouging… nothing is too low for him. But when you turn around and give him a well-deserved bop on the nose, he runs away crying like a little girl.

‘Peter Hitchens’ uses a slightly different technique; the moment you have him or one of his chums on the mat, he plays Mr Nice Guy and claims that his online bile is just harmless play-acting.

Unity/Tim

Leaving aside for a moment the whole Guido angle, what makes you so sure the Fiona Jones story ain’t true?

Abelard, I’ve heard that your mother still blows sailors for tuppence down at the docks.

Apparently, she’s been so busy for so long that she’s neglected to keep up with inflation and/or go decimal.

Now, leaving aside the whole Guido angle, how can we be sure that story’s not true?
