Timmy Ireland must be desperate for traffic/attention to have a major rant about you. Is it because Ian Dale gives him no respect? Or the fact that his Blairout project in GE05 failed?
As to the identity thing, you did make yourself available to the people at the Conservative conference for several days. Hardly the act of a coward.

It's getting so difficult to get comments published here that David Miliband has taken to writing NuLab's public suicide notes in the Telegraph.

I have no idea who that is holding the placard, but they really need to relax. Its only a bog for Gods sake! Hardly going to change the world. We all come here to read funny, clever comments after Guido has set us onto a topic. Thats it. No deep reasoning, no moral high ground, just a bunch of smart arses having a laugh at our useless politicians.
Its hardly Marx and Engels....and its not meant to be. Now lay off the caffeine and join in the fun. Or just leave us to our lame humour.

I read through all of Tim Ireland's piece about Guido, and tried to make a comment afterwards - it was practically impossible. Must be why there's only 8 comments to that piece.
Guido, I read the charges and was shocked. Fancy not being around in 2003, thats terrible.

Have just read Tim Ireland's stream of consciousness rant, and wanted to add a comment to the effect that he's a twat, but couldn't be arsed to sign in.
At the end of the day, all it boils down to is that he's acusing Guido of being a a backstabber who can't be held to account. Like., erm.... But he misses one major point. Guido's genuinely amusing. I'm not a blogger, but I'll keep the link in my favourites. Unless of course Guido deletes this comment for pointing out that by all rights he should have a bigger facial scar. I wouldn't mess with a pissed off bull, even if I was pissed.
And furthermore He looks a little effeminate to me, bit of a nancy boy, he certainly behaves like a woman with PMT Have you considered HRT Tim?

Tim Ireland is linking to this discussion on his blog. Doesn't that go against his own rules? Tim, if I understand you correctly, you think that Guido is constantly posting anonymously on his own site. I can assure you that I often post anonymously and yet I AM NOT GUIDO. There seems to be so much bitterness, I can't help thinking it's personal!

What the hell did you do to upset him anyway? Did you resist his obvious charms and refuse to give him a good ass fucking? Shame as he clearly needs a long hard bumming to get him to lighten up a bit.

However, he's right about Guido posting anonymously - I've seen him do it when Tim named him. But I didn't think the identity was a secret anymore. And it doesn't matter anyway.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not Tim or one of his friends.

Tim in Tim's own words - from his blog.
"He was born in Australia, spent much of his youth enjoying the status of a 'gifted student' and then went on to struggle through his formative years at a school for full of children far more gifted than himself. This led to a bitternes that pollutes the core of his being to this very day."
Despised by his classmates and infested with self loathing. Ignore. Next patient please.

"Tim Ireland is now best described as a marketing consultant(people often use the word 'guru' around him, but this cause him to blush like a schoolgirl, so please avoid doing so yourself."

I think the reasons that this isn't happening are: 1. We are so interfered with that it is fun to think of imaginative ways to roll some of it back. 2. The lefties are revealing themselves to be dull types, only interested in other people's money.

At least Guido's not a hypocrite in that respects. And he's upfront enough to admit he changes his mind and why.

Fawquez,
I pay you obscene amounts of money to destabilise the establishment, and here you are engaging in some arcane debate about 'moral' principles? Why do you indulge in these diversions with our enemy?
I have tried manfully to catch up with all this, but the Ireland blog is an inpenetrable mangrove swamp of Fawkephobia without a single totty snap. He seems to think there are Queensberry rules in blogging, and that Guido aims low.
I mean, come on, timbo - Durrr! How hard can this blogging thing be? Pick a subject - any subject - post a comment and a piccy, and then wait for PHitch to vent his spleen, a load of Anonymongs to praise it or pan it, the Tuscan to work out an anagram and a weirdo called Bhlownuglee to get it all wrong. The boring types get redirected to earnest blogsites. It is self-policing. C'est tout!
Earlier poster has a point - Ireland looks like that chap called Backpain or summat who always came second in the spearchucking.
I've just read Tim's piece from start to finish (I started this afternoon) and I've just found the killer line: you stand accused of making politicians afraid to engage in blogging!!!!
Thank fuck for that, then.

I'm afraid that this Tim Ireland person is a very sad basket case.
I have posted numerous anonymous comments on Guido's blog, both complementary and others not so, and none have ever been removed.
I get the feeling that Tim Ireland is gradually degenerating into some online version of Father Jack. You almost get the impression from his blog that he is sitting at home in front of some whiskey and spittle-stained old computer yelling "Guido", "Feck", "Dale" until his nurse comes in to quiet him down and change his adult nappy.
81 comments:
so who is this er handsome chap?
This comment has been deleted by Guido.
Gdaty and good on yer Guido.

Prefer my version!
Now, what would Guido would say if he laid a dozen charges against a politician, and they responded with mindless spin and/or a 'no comment'?
Exactly.
I'd say there is nothing like a good flame war to kick-start your moribund blog when you bring it out of mothballs.
I think I can see two bell-ends in the picture.

Help, Help, I'm being oppressed!
"Now, what would Guido would say if he laid a dozen charges against a politician, "
Got a light mate?
Ooohhh let him comment Guido. I love watching a handbag fight.
This looks doctored - what did the original sign say?
And who is this Tim Ireland anyway?? - googling results in some gay blog.
Hey Guido, you failed to credit the person you stole that photo from. Plus ca change...
Where did the photo come from originally?
Errrm, aren't you supposed to be boycotting this blog? Tim will not be pleased.
Not blog-rolled but obviously in your favourites. Can't resist can you?
