When did you live in Sowerby? Before Calder Valley was formed, the lower valley was in Brighouse and Spenborough. I dunno...

Gary Waller's a Tory, shurely? He wound up as MP for Keighley for a while IIRC.

I'm speechless about Irfan's latest inanities, not just the Godfrey Bloom-style sexism but the advocating of biraderi voting and the use of the "is it coz I iz black" defence to James's criticisms. If I were in Tony Greaves's sandals, Irfan would have been expelled from the constituency party by now.

Last time Tony was asked, he said Irfan's blog was the only blog in the world worth reading.

This was in the comments box of Lib Dem Voice, and he was also at the time very active in the forums. Consistency and accuracy of viewpoint not one of the Noble Lord's strongpoints. I'm told he has some though.

Re: Strictly. Fuck. BBC!Fail. Because you know, replacing Sharon Osbourne with Cheryl and Dannii was *so* worthwhile on X-Factor.
I love Alesha, love her to bits. But she is in NO WAY qualified to replace Arlene (ssh, don't tell anyone but I have an Arlene Phillips dance workout audio cassette from Cosmopolitan from sometime in the early 80s).
Cock.
We will still watch it at Geek Towers I think because Faun adores it so much. But I think they've just ripped out part of my favourite show for no reason other than ooh!the pretty!
Cocksuckers.

Good to see your list Jennie. I have linked to this now from the original post where I am trying to keeping track of who has done it.

As for Irfan's sexist comments, I just left a comment below it rather than linking to him and giving him the Wikio satisfaction. I think he is so high up Ryan's list because he posts about 10 times a day! (See one of Ryan's caveats about this).

Mark Reckons.

Speaking of sexist, take a look at this post by celebrated Lib Dem Blogger Irfan Ahmed. This guy is more broadly read in the LD blogosphere than I am. You've got to laugh, or you'll cry...

I thought this was a piss-take to start with. But it's not and I'm now crying because seriously, who could laugh at that level of ignorance and misogyny?

Oh. The guy who writes incoherently and can't spell to save his life is telling us we have no clue about politics.

He should change his name to Ironyfan.

I read every word you write, and I hardly ever look at Irfan's if that's any consolation and I'm sure most others are the same. I only saw it because others blogged about it. I've had my own go at him. That man must never, ever be allowed to be a candidate for us, not even for the most unwinnable seat in the entire country.

Thank you for linking to me. I probably will watch Strictly because I couldn't not watch It Takes Two. I love Claudia way too much, but I'm stoatin' furious about what they've done.

What's worrying is that he's based in a very winnable seat. Thank heavens he is not the PPC.

He is only 17. Not an excuse for being a complete cock, but we're safe from him as a PPC for some time.

And I suspect if he does apply ECC will keep a close eye, given who's on ECC.

"Many women don’t have a clue about politics so they need someone to make their decisions for them"

Wow. Just.... wow.

I mean, it's not really surprising he holds this belief, a lot of men do (nevermind I know plenty of men who don't know shite about politics either), but to publicly post it up????

Is he just stupid or what? Or is this a deliberate trolling kind of thing? It's almost too boneheadedly stupid to even believe. O.o;

Eh? People actually *READ* Irfan's drivel? The man's quite clearly boneheadedly stupid, and as far as I can see he's trying to be the Iain Dale of this party, except without Dale's ability to string together a coherent sentence and his connections.

I note that practically none of his posts have even a single comment...

He gets lots of clicks from LDV because of the trainwreck factor, I doubt anyone ever agrees with him.

Meanwhile, I see a very well-known Tory blogger has picked up my line about Godfrey Bloom...

Shame I can't read the misogynist drivel to find out how bad it is his sites seems to be down

The google cache was able to show me thanks

Lets only hope as he is only 17 that he learns better soon

About This Blog

picture of Jennie Rigg

Hello! I'm Jennie (known to many as SB, due to my handle, or The Yorksher Gob because of my old blog's name). This blog is my public face.

I am a proud Lib Dem and make no apology for it. I joined because the Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity (from the preamble to the party's constitution). If you think that's a good plan, why not help the party?

Please note that any and all opinions expressed in this blog are subject to random change at whim my own, and not necessarily representative of my party, or any of the constituent parts thereof (except myself, obviously).
