Respect to Raplog
I must admit that I have never featured in a rap song before, but there's a first time for everything. At the risk of giving Draper more publicity I thought you'd like to see this video from Raplog, where he explains, in rap, why he's not impressed with LabourList. Simple, but damning, I think you'll agree.
The man obviously has taste in blogs and politics, if not in music.
One criticism, the pictures of Draper look to be about 20 years out of date. Taken before his decline into obesity, decrepitude, impotence and mental infirmity.
Derek Draper is mentally unstable. A quick review of his actions of the last week will confirm that he is living in another universe. This parallell virtual world is a defence against an impending implosion of his professional goals. Project 'redemption' is heading for the rocks.
A close friend needs to guide him through a reality check.
LabourList will fail. It has no constituency.
The cost of failure will be more that Union funds wasted. The biggest price will be paid by Mr Draper. He needs help. Seriously.
Not my cup of tea but refreshing to see a genuine 'We've just received this great video from a reader!!!!' rather than the sad sock-puppetry that LList put before their 60m real people.
Did anyone see Jeremy Paxman talking to Alistair Campbell about mental illness last night?
He referred to someone they both knew who continues to function whilst suffering from mental problems, although he left us guessing as to who it could be.
Excellent!!!! The center right is so much smoother on the net, so much more coherent... Labourslist is clunky and clumsy....
Draper is only doing what most bloggers have done at some time or another, I just feel he should think through his arguments before making them, to avoid ending up in a dead end..... There is now way Ian Dale is racists and highly doubtful that Carole Thatcher is any worse than great chunk of the UK population, and there absolutely no need to apologize for witting an article an a highly successful blog. Hits Hits Hits are all very fine but those hits want some interesting CONTENT!!!!!!
I'm very worried that Draper is grooming other Labour activists to be Cyberstalkers too. I'm willing to admit that Draper's actions may be due to a personal mental health issue. The problem is that these things get passed on.
On a separate note I feel I have to point out the dearth of Competitive Breakdance videos on 'Iain Dale's Diary'. Something simply must be done!
Iain, it's your blog and you can bitch if you want to. But I'm surprised you call for us all to be concerned about what is happening to our liberties, then feature this rap whilst ignoring the change in the law on 16th Feb.
You're all being so unfair; let's not forget the long-heralded Official Launch is not until Thursday... though how Draper could possibly improve on the 'Beta' version is beyond me (well, beyond him I fear).

ReplyDeleteThere must be scope for a regular rap feature Iain?

A good critique of Labourlist.

ReplyDeleteMight help if you actually said what it is.
ReplyDeleteThat was rubbish, but Derek Draper IS a tosser, and LabourList IS the worst blog i've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteSo the message I approve of, but it was still rubbish.
I mean, selling access to Mandy...fleas upon fleas spring (jump) to mind.
ReplyDeleteParasitism^2.

ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteSo good I had to watch it twice!
Respect to Raplog :o)
Now back on board teh LabourList failboat.
ReplyDeleteI bet Dolly's gonna read that and not have a clue what I'm on about...
Raplog is the Big Dawg King Pin of the game , Banging .
ReplyDeleteWell Righteous!
ReplyDeleteAs they say in my neck of the woods up here in rural Stirlingshire.
What, what! ;O)
