TB on BBC News Discussing Tweet-gate IV

Across the spectrum today candidates will be deleting old tweets. TB has been saying for months that the internet would scalp a candidate however he didn't expect it to happen so soon, or to a friend.



The computer hard-drive filled up and stopped recording last 30 secs, an unshaven TB added Stuart was one of the more reasonable and rational Labour hacks he knew and it was shame he had to go this way.

Either way will this be the last scalp of the campaign? Doubt it...

Good interview.

Talk about things coming back and biting you on the arse.

Yes he shouldn't of wrote those tweets, but you do have to ask yourself if, as it says on the last Guy News broadcast, so many high profile Labour politicians were following him why didn't they have a quiet word with him.

In my opinion those politicians are as much to blame as Stuart Maclennan himself.

Stuart was probably naive, but the labour politicians should of known this would blow up.

@My thoughts my country.


It's 'shouldn't have written' and

'should have known'

the word 'of' is not a verb.

Oaf!

I have to say, as soon as I heard about this this morning, I decided to investigate the offending content and almost pissed myself laughing.

Parliament's loss could be stand-up comedy's gain. That he's had to go and yet David "scum sucking pig" Wright remains is a travesty.

I blame the fair-trade banana lobby for his firing, do we know any senior Labour figures with connections to the banana industry? (nudge-nudge, wink-wink)

Damn grammar nazi. By the way, is grammar nazi a common or proper noun?

In any case, I must agree with the Sullivan quote. What a shame.

I bet you hate it when the BBC drag you out of bed, chuck on a jacket and ask you a bunch of questions, TB.

Just because people don't have good grammer and spelling, and may not get verbs right doesn't mean you have to call them names.

@Martin

The correct spelling is "grammar".

And, you're correct, we don't have to correct people, but we do because we don't want to be tarred with the same brush of the filthy, uneducated scum.
