R K Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 You're a big papier mache cartoon head RK...people in fibre glass heads shouldn't throw stones Oh and wtf is this thread about...I feel I am missing some vital information P I did momentarily contemplate the moral dichotomy implicit in your observation, but since it sounded like some form of onanist tendency on balance I thought it might be a bit of a laugh to post it anyway.

Dorkins Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I am shocked, shocked that Grant Shapps has been using multiple pseudonyms for personal gain. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiveinHope Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Basically Cameron lacks judgement about people. He simply can't read them can he. Etonian problem. Never experienced the Shapps types of the world. Cameron is a lamb to the slaughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkins Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Again, Shapps will be fine in the short term. He hasn't done anything illegal and Cameron can't be seen sacking someone this close to an election. If EA Dave gets kicked out of Downing Street this time then I imagine his successor will demote Shapps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Shapps, grinning like a Cheshire Cat, strenuously denying this on BBC News this morning. Please, please, someone come up with some irrefutable evidence. If they can, he will be history. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32407991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyme2 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Nick Clegg, on Sky News a minute ago...... "I'm prepared to believe that the edits were made by someone else, Michael Green for instance". LOL. Reading other reporting it seems the press have little doubt it is Michael Green himself. I just don't know what makes a two bit internet con artist so highly regarded by the political class, god knows what the rest are really like.

Goat Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Nick Clegg, on Sky News a minute ago...... "I'm prepared to believe that the edits were made by someone else, Michael Green for instance". Turns out things are a bit murkier than they first appear: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/general-election-2015/11555267/Wikipedia-administrator-who-accused-Grant-Shapps-of-editing-pages-of-Tory-rivals-is-Liberal-Democrat-activist.html The Wikipedia administrator who accused the Tory co-chairman, Grant Shapps, of creating a fake identity on the online encyclopedia to boost his reputation is a leading activist in the Liberal Democrats, the Telegraph can reveal. Richard Symonds admitted today that he had been “chastised” by other administrators at Wikipedia for not checking with more people before banning a user who he claims is Mr Shapps, or someone working for him. Mr Symonds also admitted that he had briefed The Guardian newspaper, which broke the alleged story yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainlessSteelCat Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Must admit when I read the Guardian story, and as much as I despise Shapps, I wasn't sure it quite rang true. The evidence was at best circumstantial - and could have easily been someone trying to stitch him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
