I'm confused. I joined Twitter in March this year and created this blog a little later. I've got quite a few followers on Twitter now, many whom I really enjoy conversing with. Many whom I cannot stand. And some who are just completely vile. I thought I'd just tweet and blog to myself and maybe a few like-minded comrades about Labour Party stuff, exchanging ideas and well, kind of bonding. I have done that, but for some reason (and I think it's probably my inability to let Tories be Tories without questionning or arguing with them) many seem to be more than a little riled by me.
I now have one imitation on Twitter, who basically tweets as me (as another female Labourite has had) - along the lines of 'I'm a rich little girl with socialist ideologies probably served to me on a wooden spoon by daddy', oh and some reference to Weightwatchers which I dont really understand. Many have told me imitation is the best form of flattery - meh, not so sure.
Today I've had people blogging about tweets where I have suggested ToryBear is a jumped up Tory and he shouldn't have gone round to the Draper/Galloway household delivering a writ from Nadine Dorries, and filming it. People blogging about tweets where I mistyped an answer to a question (again on Smeargate), later clarified within about 3 seconds.
Why? Who gives a stuff? As Nikki from Big Brother would say "Who is sheeeeee???" Answer: no-one!
I have no power. I have no influence. I'm not an MP, not a councillor and not even in the 100 top-left blogs! (I didn't know there were 100! - but I'm not bitter - it's a Conservative ploy)
There are Libertarians who tweet at me (it was constant at one point) ,tweets I never read because they're horrible. Sexist, offensive and in some cases abusive. I don't get it. There are many people on the blogosphere I dislike. Some I detest. But I wouldn't go to the trouble of pretending to be them. Or being truly incessantly abusive toward them.
So I'm a woman, I say what I think. I like Harriet Harman, I like Polly Toynbee, I love the Labour Party and I think this country is better in the hands of Gordon Brown than anyone else at the moment. So shoot me. Or blog about me. Whatever.
