Through Jag Singh, I was able to secure a deal where any mention of my name in comments at 'Guido Fawkes' would be 'filtered'. I got this after Paul Staines foolishly demonstrated MessageSpace's involvement in his antics, but now wonder who else got this kind of deal and how/why.
Think about the kind of protection (or targeting) you could offer an MP if you had the power to simply filter out comments in this pit, or perhaps send out 'pile on' alerts to comment trolls who Just Happen To Be In The MessageSpace Office, Watching The Cricket on Broadband.
What made it awkward for Jag Singh was that false/anonymous allegations targeting me could be tracked back to MessageSpace's office, which Paul Staines (and later Harry Cole) regularly used as a UK base for their 'overseas' blog.
I once called their office about such allegations. They played songs from YouTube and giggled in silence like naughty school children. Eventually, the phone was answered... and I was sexually propositioned. Abhorrent, inexcusable behaviour.
By the time it got deeply personal on Mr Cole's part, he was publicly alleging (quite falsely) that I had fabricated damaging evidence against myself. Both Cole and MessageSpace denied me access to the relevant data that might have been used to prosecute the true author(s).
It was over this matter that Jag Singh finally seemed to take the matter seriously and assured me that the relevant data would be disclosed to me - but rather inadvertently let slip that he would have to get Cole and Staines to agree to it first.
Then they didn't agree to it.
Then they didn't agree to it.
Even knowing the Big Secret that MessageSpace provided funds, cover and a UK base of operations for a broad range of unprincipled sods associated with the 'Guido Fawkes' website, it did me little good as Staines called the shots all the way, even when bankrupt. Singh's a minion.
This brings us back to the deal that was agreed, that could only have been agreed by Paul Staines evidently because I was a threat to his precious MessageSpace front. So who else got a 'filtering' deal from Staines and why? I'm guessing it wasn't just people he saw as a threat.
In a twist that will shock no-one, the 'legal' threat Staines launched from the office of MessageSpace was authored by one Donal Blaney, who once compared me to the Nazis when I dared to advocate a boycott of Israel's produce over their government's behaviour in Gaza.
You may recognise the name 'Donal Blaney' from the Tory bullying scandal where unwitting youths were plied with drink and the implied promise of casual sex to act as meat puppets for the Tory cause. #roadtrip
Me, I keep coming back to how deeply the 'Guido Fawkes' gang invests in stoking divisions over the Israel/Palestine conflict, often using false and weaponised allegations of Nazi-like behaviour based on nothing but piss and wind.
