Activity on all fronts

First we have this from WBW

When this blog acquired its very own cyber stalker I set up a parody site. I had no intention of using it, as the first post made clear.

By now that my obsessional little friend has revealed himself to by just another Plaid blogger (almost certainly a staffer, but I'll leave the question of that one open)

I'm not a staffer by the way, I'm not even a member of Plaid Cymru.

I've decided to make use of it.

Great move, so you're now posting blog posts on a secondary blog that nobody reads.

For those who wish to see it follow this link. Essentially he makes the leap of logic that because I supported Luke Ellis's right to free speech and pointed out it was almost certainly a member of his own party that I'm a Plaid staffer. The only person that has been trying to get any sort of gain from Luke outside Labour is David Davies who did it in the press. I doubt Mr Davies reads many newly started Labour blogs. Draw your own conclusions.

The other claim he takes issue with is that Martin Shipton isn't spinning for the Labour Party in Wales. Anyone who knows Shipton, his writings, his affiliations, his politics........knows who's line he's more likely to spin.

Oh, and he picked me up on my spelling. He's got chutzpah, I'll give him that.

Next up is a second post from Welsh Post Box (a blog set up principally to attack Labour councillor Luke Ellis) and guess what? The second post is about Luke! No surprises there.

Luke Ellis who now stands disgraced in the eyes of the blogsphere, and his Party for advocating the legalisation of drugs has resigned from blogging.

Number of blogs attacking Luke Ellis and his blog posting? One. Yours. Hardly disgraced in the eyes of the blogosphere.

The world will not miss his strange views and his party will be pleased that he has shut the fuck up.

Doesn't that scream of an inside Job WBW? Or have you got any inside info?

In a final posting on his sad excuse for a blog, Ellis has a go a highly regarded Western Mail Chief Political Reporter Martin Shipton, who originally exposed Ellis for the diatribe of liberal spouting.

Highly regarded? That isn't you is it Shippo?

In the attack Ellis states "I am sure that Martin Shipton has many views which he holds which would not run side by side with his employers." .

That's almost certainly true.

What is he suggesting exactly? Maybe he would like to explain, or in the very least apologise for his remarks.

Apologise for what? Stating that a reporter may have views that differ from Trinity Mirror? I'd hazard a guess that the NUJ chapel meetings would be very boring if journalists held the same views as their employers.

He still hasn't uttered a word of regret over his outrageous suggestion about Howard Marks taking over Drugs policy in Wales, and Cardiff Bay sources reveal to Welsh Post Box that Ellis was seen "laughing and joking with his work colleague" in the Assembly dining room this week.

Why the hell should he apologise for expressing himself in a blog? Who did he hurt? Should he apologise to the stupid people who missed the tongue in cheek humour? As for the 'laughing with a work colleague' how dare he? I mean actually laughing. Burn the witch.

Clearly showing total disregard for the deep shame and harm he has caused to his party and his office with his lurid scheme.

It was never a scheme, it was a humorous 'what if'.

Welsh Post Box is pleased that he has been forced to stop blogging but thinks it is time for a public apology. Join the fight. Show your support here in the comment boxes.

In other words WPB is happy that Luke's freedom of expression has been extinguished and that someone, somewhere is set to gain from the manufactured outraged caused.

PS So far in two blog posts WPB has gathered six comments. Only one was supportive. The comment was posted by the same person who promoted the blog elsewhere, so chances are it's the blogs author. Sad.
