The ever brilliant Guido Fawkes team uncovered a beauty on Jack Dromey’s (Mr Harriet Harman for those who don’t know) twitter account. I
suggest reading the full article for details but in essence he favourite tweets
about gay men with big black cocks on two separate occasions, not likely to
both be harmless mistakes. Or at least finding the tweets weren’t a mistake,
clicking the star icon most definitely was.
Why is this newsworthy? Well he is a shadow minister, all be
it low ranking but his partner is a high profile member of the Labour front
bench. Is he in the closet, either as gay or bi? Was it just an error and how
much does Harriet know? Frankly I don’t care, however the next bit does.
Lefty types were scrambling for a way to retaliate and they
found a gem, or at least they thought so. “David Cameron follows an escort
agency on twitter” they squealed with glee, who cares about details, peddle a
headline, nobody will read it. Brilliant except for one thing, it wasn’t DC’s
account, like I said, details. It was in fact @Number10Gov who was following
the naughty ladies in question.
The official story is that back when Gordon Brown was in
power an auto follow feature was in place and picked it up. So a simple error,
definitely nothing to do with David Cameron or even Gordon Brown. But what will
the BBC do?
Why run a piece with the headline David Cameron’s Twitter AccountFollowed ‘High Class Escorts’ and a misleading image. Whatever the
content below many people won’t get the difference between the UK PM’s account,
whoever that may be, and DC’s personal one.

Yet what of the Jack Dromey story? Surely they ran it, seen
as the DC story was worth reporting. It is currently 21:45 on Wednesday the 20th
of November and guess what, not a big black sausage to be found on the BBC website.
Maybe the BBC were worried about having a story full of BBC’s
on the BBC website. Maybe the BBC can get BBCDP to cover BBCgate at lunchtime.
