Today was a bad day on so many levels for so many people.
Firstly, for the smear campaign Damian McBride was served with court papers by Guido on behalf of Nadine Dorries whilst at the same time McBride’s cohort Derek Draper was served with similar papers by ToryBear.
Depending on your Political slant this could be a good day or bad day but I am guessing that as you are over here, reading this then it’s a good day for you, that is, unless you are a sycophantic narcissistic Tweeter who goes by the name of @BevaniteEllie.
Does the name seem familiar? Well, back at the beginning of August we featured the little lady and her servile tongue when we debated What happens when Tories and Labour discuss the NHS.
Back then as now ‘lil ol Ellie was as blind to the truth as ever, it seems some things never change.
As luck would have it today was also a VERY bad day for Ellie, poor lass.
Seemingly she got on the wrong side of Working Class Tory a point at which I challenged her with debate but she simply chose to ignore.
Incidentally the Working Class Tory post was also discussing the Draper/McBride incident of this morning so this gave me good reason to address a very simple question to the dear @BevaniteEllie.
Expecting some form of blocking tactic I was prepared to do a Jeremy Paxman and ask the question, again and again and again and again.
I was not, however, prepared for what follows.
What follows is the exact account of the conversation, no misquoting, no dishonesty, no lies. I leave it you at the end to make your own mind up. Don’t forget on Twitter you only get 140 characters or less to pass your message. Where you see this [@Parlez_me_nTory] at the start of a line that indicates who is making the statement, so, for instance I open the conversation.
[@Parlez_me_nTory] @BevaniteEllie Simple question: Do you condone the smear e-mails organised by McBride/Draper?
[@BevaniteEllie] @Parlez_me_nTory Simple question: Do you condone the smear e-mails organised by McBride/Draper? simple answer. Yes.
[@Parlez_me_nTory] Speaks volumes! @BevaniteEllie Simple question: Do you condone the smear e-mails organised by McBride/Draper? simple answer. Yes.
There was some sort of retraction posted at this point which included the #mefail hashtag but this has since been deleted and cannot be located. If you wish to supply this retraction Ellie then I am more than happy to include it within this post but of course you would need to include the other 3 Tweets that you have retracted to make it a fully balanced and fair inclusion.
Before we digress too far…
[@Haylon101] @Parlez_me_nTory I believe @BevaniteEllie has just issued a U-turn. Gordon would be proud.
[@Parlez_me_nTory] RT @Parlez_me_nTory: Speaks volumes! @BevaniteEllie Simple question: Do you condone smear e-mails by McBride/Draper? simple answer. Yes.
[@BevaniteEllie] @Parlez_me_nTory was reading another question & was distracted.Of course I don’t.I blogged about it. We can beat u on policy,no need 4 smear
Another example of a BevaniteEllie Tweet, no substance, no evidence pure rash statement which is the reason several of the words above have been used to specifically describe the dear ‘lil lady.
[@Parlez_me_nTory] @BevaniteEllie Then why smear dear girl, why smear?
[@Parlez_me_nTory] RT @haylon101: @Parlez_me_nTory I believe @BevaniteEllie has just issued a U-turn. Gordon would be proud. Perfect
[@sonofmuff] @haylon101 @Parlez_me_nTory. NB. @BevaniteEllie says Polly Tonybee’s columns make her cry. ’nuff said me thinks.
[@wicksie] RT @Parlez_me_nTory: Speaks volumes! @BevaniteEllie Simple question: Do you condone smear e-mails by McBride/Draper? simple answer. Yes.
[@BevaniteEllie] @wicksie stop RTing yourself, and stop RTing something I’ve already said I didn’t mean.
[@wicksie] @BevaniteEllie Surely you would be better served to ask politely instead of issuing commands. Now, shall we try asking again?
I was more than ready at this stage to abandon this blog post and RT any retraction that Ellie had posted subject to it being found but she chose to ignore me once more, hence I have gone to the trouble to write this.
Several hours later…
[@wicksie] @BevaniteEllie You have deleted your Tweets that condone McBride/Draper email smears but we have them saved and will blog them
[@BevaniteEllie] @Parlez_me_nTory u really need to get a life.Didn’t condone them at all,as I said 3 seconds later.Careful u don’t get into smeary waters now
Erm, sorry dearest Ellie but yes, you did condone them as the evidence shows above, you may have retracted them approximately 1 minute later but you have (as I have already mentioned) deleted that Tweet along with 3 others, so where’s the proof?
Now, that may be suitable for your aspirations to run a Government by supplying ‘part’ information, perhaps you have taken Gordon’s black pen redaction too literally of late. Either way, you made the statement at least have the courage to stand by your convictions and do the right thing.
[@Parlez_me_nTory] @BevaniteEllie Unfortunately you have deleted any retraction, can’t find it!
One more thing before I leave you all and that is a separate small conversation between 2 other Tweeters re:@BevaniteEllie that sums up the above in 140 characters or less
[@Haylon101] I’m considering following @BevaniteEllie just for the comedy. But is it worth the batfuck insane fanaticism? Hmmmmmm descisions…
[@MarkReckons] @haylon101 I wouldn’t bother. I got dragged into something today that I thought was a debate but was a complete waste of time.
[@Haylon101] @MarkReckons Cheers for the heads up! I have noticed that she doesn’t seem capable of debate like a normal sane person.
Oh, dearest Ellie, I know you are reading this. Need I say more?
Edited to include two posts whereby Ellie and her ‘friend’ feel they have had to defend themselves.
Part1 and Part2.
Now then, that makes a Tory blogger a damn sight fairer than a socialist blogger!
