John Mann’s woods, that is.

Respected and widely read blogger, Tory Bear, has lent a paw in this blog’s continuing coverage of John Mann’s struggle against reality.

The article is here but stick around and read the other stuff. Quality material here.

TB rounds off the article with some words of wisdom for Mr Mann.

Don’t be a wanker, John

Prolific Blogger – The Lone Voice – has picked up on John Mann’s letter threatening me with libel action and has published his take on it, together with some very interesting facts about Mr Mann’s expenses claims.

You can read all about it here:

The Rt Hon. John Mann MP is a wanker.

And it’s well worth the read. £2,500 for carpets,  John?

No doubt the author will be receiving his very own libel threat soon.

Just received a letter from John Mann threatening me with a libel action. Click on the graphic below to see it full size.

I don’t recall making any allegations, John, only asking for clarification and pointing to expenses claims on your own website and the Parliamentary website.

If you could point me in the direction of the offending untruth, I would be happy to rectify.

And as for calling you a ‘wanker’, I was just quoting your own statement in the Independent.

I note that you’re not disputing the rest of the content.

I know you’ve sent a number of this type of letter recently to anyone with the temerity to challenge the world according to Mann, but this blog will not be intimidated.

UPDATE

I’ve just discovered that Mann signed an Early Day Motion in December calling for Libel law Reform as the existing libel laws intimidate writers and stifle free expression and need to be changed.

Would you vote for a man like this?

There’s a strange picture on John Mann’s website.

He appears to be making the handsign beloved of motorists throughout the country and reserved for someone who rhymes with banker.

Is he suggesting that if you pledge your vote, donate or volunteer, then you are someone deserving of the gesture?

Well, if he’s not suggesting it, we are.

EDIT: It seems Mann’s web people have seen the errror of their ways and after reading this article, they have replaced the picture. Shame. We liked the original, so we’ll leave it here for your amusement

John Mann writing about the Kelly report in the Indpendent on Wednesday opened the column with:

‘You w*****, you f****** w*****’, exploded one Tory MP to me today, ‘You do not speak for me.’ Indeed I do not.

That about sums it all up. Mr Mann only has his own interests at heart.
