Guido Fawkes turns to law after MP’s post
By Andrew Grant-Adamson • Feb 11th, 2007 • Category: BlogsGuido Fawkes the blogger who dishes the dirt on politicians has reacted strongly to a post on the blog of Tom Watson, Labour MP for West Bromwich East, today. Fawkes, who is also known as Paul Staines, says legal letters went out at 12.30pm and suggests the post by Watson has been removed.
4pm The remainder of this post (mine) has been removed. I had been looking at Watson’s blog earlier and jumped to an assumption about the post that Staines was complaining about. Watson mentioned Staines in two posts today. One post has been replaced while the other other remains as written.
6pm A post relating to Staines has also been temporarily removed at Pickled Politics for legal reasons. Author Sunny Hundal promises: “This ain’t over yet.”

so go on then, what did he say?
It repeated the heinous and libellous allegation that Guido had been to the North of England. Obviously he never has - bless him. It also suggested as a lesser libel that he was a supporter of the BNP - foul nonsense.
Bless you, mutley, and your astro-turfing efforts.
(Keep at it, boy… you only give yourselves away.)
