Keeping it real!

There's nothing worse than someone saying you're fake.


So when Tory blogger Iain Dale doubted that it was actually me doing this blog, I had to put him right.


But I resisted the urge to give him the v sign - and gave him a vlog instead.

 

 

As I told Iain, I don't necessarily do all the typing but I do read your Facebook messages on my Blackberry, look at your comments here and then dictate my replies to my Go Fourth team.


But what you read is 100% me.

 

Anyway, I see Iain's had the grace to take it back and we're Facebook friends again. (Though I bet it won't last!)

 

Finally, I'm really pleased to see 59 Go Fourthers have already confirmed on Facebook they're coming to our rally at Manchester Town Hall this Sunday.

An increasingly good read is this blog. Very entertaining. Directness and honesty and nobody does that better than John Prescott, eh? Keep up the good work.

(Oh and a slight tech note - can you get the good people that did your Go4th site to obscure the password field when users are logging in to post comments. I'm not the paranoid type, but I don't like my password being shown on screen to anybody that might be walking by or looking over my shoulder. Cheers!)

will you never learn? When you rise to the bait laid by these tory tossers you make yourself look stupid. You need to calm down A LOT. At the moment you look and sound like someone's dad at their 16th birthday party trying to be cool. Young people are a lot more savvy than you are giving them credit for with this forced crap. They want real solutions to the problems facing them -- unemploymnt, future funding for the NHS and future funding for the state pension. I live outside the UK now but was horrified on a reent trip when all my old mates and family with one voice told me they beleved their would be no NHS and np pension by the time we need it. So less facebook, more job creation, higher taxes for the rich, better social services.

Very funny response, what a refreshing change from the normal insults thrown at bloggers of a different political view. I cannot believe it John Prescott making me laugh for the right reasons!!

Your blog is certainly entertaining, I am glad you have found your vocation as an entertainer.

It is just a shame that you couldn't have found it long ago, before you were misdirected into politics.

Funny that you were a Boxer, and your career in politics mirrors 'Boxer' in Animal Farm - foolishly (but sincerely) helping the pigs to the top and keeping them there, then being sidelined leaving the pigs to run the farm...

I can't abide your politics. The hunting ban drove me from the UK, and I am driven to nausea at some of the things you lot managed since 1997 - Labour deserve, IMO, to "come fourth" rather than "go fourth" when a UK election comes around.. but

At a time when Dolly Draper has re-appeared as the poster boy for the ZaNuLabour experiment - a reminder, if one was needed, of the depths to which this Government will stoop to hold on to power - your appearance on the Web has been a welcome reminder that somewhere behind the Labour movement there is still a core of cheerful humanity, whose views I might not agree with but whose robust honesty and good humour I appreciate. There will - I am sure - be many on all sides who agree.

Wanting this Government to come to an end is not the same as wanting Labour to dissapear - your most valuable contributions to the UK may yet be ahead of you!

Keep it up.

2.0 Jags,

Very good - keep it up. Although Mr Draper ain't going to be happy if your blog is more successful than his.........
