A busy week and a hefty legal bill for 'Guido'
Telegraph: Political blogger warned he could be jailed: The Charity Commission has warned an online blogger he could go to jail unless he submits information he has gathered about the activities of the Smith Institute, the left-wing think tank under investigation for links to the Labour Party. The formal direction was issued to Paul Staines, who runs the Guido Fawkes political website, ordering him to release documents relating to the institute by Friday.
Manic will now recline, relax and enjoy the fun as Paul's faithful acolytes 'hit back' with the notion that Gordon Brown may be in trouble, too.
Manic could not give a tuppeny toss what happens to Gordon Brown!
He would, however, like to remind readers of the role that Iain Dale and Fox News Lite played in this affair.
Manic has spoken. End communication.
(PS - Manic is a big fan of spin... and advises you to chew before you swallow. Heh.)

You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet, as 'Guido' is fond of saying.
Neither should you believe everything (allegedly) penned by 'Guido'.
Still, at least now we have a good idea why John Forristal is Paul Staine's 'blog specialist' of choice.
(Manic is a blog specialist, and has never seen John Forristal at the relevant secret gatherings.)
Good God! McNuLab (TM) will stop at nothing to silence this warrior for the common man. All my common sense has now deserted me and I realise that my preconceptions have been shattered - Guido Fawkes has been put on earth to save mankind.
Manic, desist your crazy campaign at once - maybe if you teamed up with Spunky's lawyers you would be able to create a society where the rich can speak freely again.
Man alive this latest batch of astro-turffers is too good. Go on Manic admit it, you're writing them yourself.
No one, even a Tory, is his much of a twat.

Manic suspects you are right, Tyger. He detected a note of sarcasm.
:o)
Guido is now trying to say the past week is all down to Tom Watson and he is being bullied with the threat of a lawsuit.Strangely he doesnt mention threatening some bloggers with lawsuists himself.
nether does dale with his 'save the guido one' post
Just as i begin to think that the nihilist scuffle was a bit pedantic and not manics greatest moment ,along come guido and dale to the rescue in glorious Hypocrisy.
amazing, i cant believe what im reading on their blogs.

[edit notice thingie]
This thread will no longer make sense, because a deletion was requested.
"This thread will no longer make sense, because a deletion was requested."

wholly unclear as to why the deletion request was complied with.
Because Manic was perfectly happy to have a certain someone prove once again that he is a total hypocrite.
:o)
Some interesting neo-libertarian wiki work going on at Staine's biography white-washing central at the mo. Anyone care to join?
Delicate work it is though. No tub-thumpers need apply :0)
Manic urges his faithful minions to steer well clear of edit-fights in Wikipedia. Seriously.
Worth watching, though... as has been noted here.
Big softie me. No fighting required. You won't fix the world overnight Guido 2.0.

re: deletion
Manic did *that* just to frustrate 'Margorie'

Lobster Blogster: Manic had to cut you off at "Maybe the Super Jumbo Banger will turn out to be a Damp Squib after all."
Sorry about that.
Not a problem. I was thinking of hiring some new lawyers over at Global & General Nominees LLC but the company seems to be disappearing fast. There's no easy way to prepare you for this, but I think you've been had.
(If you haven't, you've played your hand very, very well :o)
