Collier wrong again, this time on Greaves.

The Common Mans attention has been drawn to a posting by Geoffrey 'Old Mother' Collier on the Democracy Forum, in which he demonstrates once again his formidable research skills.

Writing of Michael Greaves, he states "We now have appointed at public expense a Mr Greaves who claims to be a barrister and specialises in International Law. Further claims to his credit involve appearances before the International Court at the Hague. That Court has no evidence of him appearing in any capacity. Furthermore he does not appear on the Roll of Bar members who are currently practising."

The Common Man understands that this stunning piece of work is repeated elsewhere, particularly by the unfortunately not-yet-late convicted felon and self-confessed anti-semite Greg Watkins and the morons at Junius. Watkins, remember, always apologises when he is wrong, although none have ever seen an apology.

Michael Greaves was a court appointed defence barrister. Anyone capable of working a computer - which presumably Old Mother Collier is - could have discovered this through conducting a simple case search of the International Criminal Court searching case files rather than simply searching for web pages. There are actually some 40 documents which name Greaves as a defence attorney representing several defendants.

The Common Man now awaits the attack on Greaves based on who he, as a defence barrister at the ICC, was appointed to represent. The Common Man and Bob Pacific will be hugely amused at those who want a 'clean' UKIP attacking the right of a defendant, even at the International Criminal Court, to be represented, and somehow suggesting that because counsel is appointed to the defendants, this is somehow indicative of support for the crimes of which those defendants are accused.

The Common Man is also aware that, unlike solicitors, there is no requirement for Barristers to be registered with the Bar. Will Old Mother Collier now apologise for smearing an eminent lawyer? Past experience suggests that this is unlikely, and instead he will repeat his lies endlessly, thinking that that will somehow make them true.

Needless to say, Colliers other allegations are equally well researched and equally false. The Common Man wonders how he can have the gall to talk about 'we' when referring to UKIP, when clearly he is batting for the other team, but that's another rumour which it would be wrong of us to continue probing. The Common Man merely observes that for someone ostensibly if dishonestly campaigning for a clean up of UKIP, Collier has provided a remarkable way of telling what is true and what is false. If he wrote it, it's false.

John West (the person, not the tinned salmon) and a serious politician

News reaches the Common Man of a scurrilous posting on a blog site run by 'Skeptyk' which shows mental health trust (patient representative) member John West wearing a pair of underpants on his head.

This is scandalous. The Common Man will not stand for a serious political activist of the UK First Party to be mocked in such a fashion, particularly after his anti-corruption party dishonestly placed him third on their Euro elections list. In order to show others just how disgraceful this is, the Common Man feels obliged to post the link to Skeptyk's blog so others might see for themselves http://skeptyk-ukip.blogspot.com/ For those who may feel this too traumatic, the Common Man is pleased to post the alternative at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ffDIdRODENs#at=11
As readers will see, Mr West is now a serious journalist at Ipswich Community Care Radio, broadcasting top pop tunes to an audience of 7 on Friday mornings across the greater metropolitan area of Ipswich.

To show Mr West's commitment to serious journalism and fighting corruption and to counter-balance such a distasteful post from Skeptyk, the Common Man is proud to attach below a photograph of Mr West hero-worshipping a serious elected politician. The slightly surprised look on Mr West's face is not, the Common Man is assured, because Mr Wise was operating his controls from the rear.
