Big Bad Mikey sings Goodbye-ee

(Warning: this is an internal Newham thing) Big Bad Mikey who posted as "I love Newham Labour Group" (or something like that) sings "Goodbye-ee to blogging" alongside his old partner in crime Newham Tory miniture. 

They will be sadly missed. How can we now show how completely useless the Tory opposition is in Newham?

I am of course, as always, a completely innocent man in all this.

UPDATE: within a few hours of this post "Big Bad Mikey" decided to change his mind (no surprise there) and reopen his blog! Hooray - we can now continue to demonstrate how completely useless all the opposition (trots and tories) are in Newham.  He claims that he is a reformed character and will not swear or attack people personally.

Yeah...he's already pretending to be the very thick and stupid illiterate anon who makes obscene comments.  Great stuff. Carry on "Big Bad Mikey" Please don't ever change! 

(I'll be thinking of a suitable "welcome back" post for the near future:)

I am an innocent man...

Once upon a time, in the strange twilight LaLa world of Newham Toryland, there was an extremely unpleasant anonymous smear blog called Newhamtoryminitrue. Now, this horrid, horrid blog, apart from being typically Tory misogynic and homophobic, was also run by very incompetent Goblins called the cry-babies.

One night the cry-babies were up very late carrying out their evil works and were very, very tired. So tired and emotional, that they went to bed without remembering to back up their site properly. When they woke up the next morning, they realised that they had been really, really naughty and had lost for ever and ever a number of their very worse smear posts.

Fearing the wrath of their evil master, the skinhead Ogre, Big Bad Mikey, they pretended that some very wicked wizard called grayee had cast a magic spell on their blog and had set mystical “spammers to scrape IP addresses from our website and set up spiders to trawl it”!  Such was the power of this magical spell by grayee that they lost all their smear posts! Poor old Big Bad Mikey believes everything he is told and said to them not to worry. He will get his long lost cousin to write hundreds of mysterious letters to the local paper and FOI requests in pretend names exposing the wicked wizard grayee and all will be well.....  

(I think only 36 people in the entire world have a clue what I am going on about so apologies to everyone else.  Enjoy the video.  Great song.)

"Militant John"

Bearing in mind the previous post I thought it might amuse people to read about “Militant John”. According to this Newham Tory anonymous smearblog.

“Neil Kinnock did a good job of getting rid of most of them in the mid-eighties but he must be upset to see that Militant Labour resurfaces in different guises nowadays. One of Labour's most vocal candidates this year is a comrade who takes up arms with every strike in the land”.

Do they mean moi? Surely not! It goes on...

“That said, Militant John, the Labour council candidate for West Ham, aka Joh Gray”

They do, they do! What will all my comrades in united left and of course the former millies at SPEW make of this pronouncement!

The post then falsely goes on to claim that I had a “bitch slap” at work over this post (news to me!).

Now people know that I can be a little bit naughty at times. But even leaving aside their misogynist language you can see from this smear blog all what is wrong in Newham with the “Opposition Parties”. It is Tory supporting but claims to be independent, it calls for greater accountability and scrutiny but it is anonymous. It is incredibly pompous, conceited and self important even though no one in the real world reads it. It is completely obsessed with personalities, gossip and trivia. It ignores real policy analysis and any debate about issues that matter.

It is written by people who have no politics.

I was chatting to some senior Tories during the campaign and they acknowledged that this blog is rather symbolic of the problems they face in Newham. A small number of their so called supporters would rather sit around PC’s making stupid childish comments than get out “on the knocker” and talk to real people about real policies.

No wonder we won 63 nil in Newham and we have amongst the largest Labour majorities in the Country.  So "Militant John" says "keep up with the good work comrades"!
