http://www.mannisms.com Keeping an eye on John Mann MP Wed, 12 May 2010 12:11:07 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've just had sight of an 'official' document which describes this blog as "juvenile and immature". It must be all the big words we use. They probably think we're making them up. The 'officials' don't seem to get the concept of blogging, satire or just downright having fun poking a stick at the ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/05/official-this-blog-is-for-children/ The Management would like to annouce that the previous owner of Mannisms has decided that he is too committed elsewhere and has passed the blog on to another to continue. That would be me. Actually, I've been posting on here for some time, sharing the load, as it were. The previous owner ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/05/under-new-management/ I started adding two and two re Mann's behaviour and got to what I think is four. In his first stint in Westminster, he was troughing with the rest of them and was: (1) joint 2nd (out of 657 MPs) in 2001/2 for claiming expenses for staying away from home ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/05/a-new-mann/ Well, I was content to let the blog go, having proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that John Mann was bullying and deceiving the electorate and shamelessly using any excuse to get his name in the paper ( if a suitable excuse was not immediately handy, he was not ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/05/mannisms-redux/ Mannisms has run its course. There's nothing left to say that hasn't been said already. It's up to the voters whether they want to keep John Mann, although I think the odds are against it. I have other fish to fry. If Mann gets re-elected, he'll find that he doesn't have all ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/04/the-last-post/ This time from the editor of the Worksop Guardian, who says in a comment: All the comments that have appeared on this website relating to myself are not only totally untrue but are also defamatory. If they are not removed then legal action will be taken. George Robinson, Editor, Worksop ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/04/another-legal-action-threat/ I've written here on more than one occasion about the Worksop Guardian weekly newspaper (I use the term loosely) being nothing more than an extension of John Mann's over-exercised gob and conspiring with the ex-MP to mislead and deceive the people of Worksop. The traditional weekly local newspaper is a dying ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/04/if-you-cant-join-them-beat-them/ Whenever I'm in need of a laugh, I get myself over to John Mann's campaign website. I'm not giving them a link here - you'll have to work for it. Google 'mann 4 bassetlaw'. They've added a cheesy, tacky, rotating piece of nonsense with a load of testimonials they've obviously written ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/04/want-a-whine-with-that-cheese-john/ I have risen from the dead. Almost. I've been laid low for the past week by a particularly nasty illness so I haven't been taking too much interest in my surroundings. But I'm on the road to recovery and normal libel will be resumed as soon as possible. Meanwhile, over at Fat ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/04/lazarus/ John Mann MP continues on his mission to alienate the voters of Retford. First, as I reported a week or so ago, he claimed to be the MP for Retford, when in fact, until the boundary changes come into effect, the MP for Retford is Patrick Mercer. He apologised for that ... http://www.mannisms.com/2010/04/a-different-kind-of-mp/
