The incident in question occurred before the music, and yes, the hotel management did ask us to stop after a few tunes due to other guests sleeping. She had also got involved after hearing that there had been a kerfuffle and apologised to us. Several times, in fact, and I had to ask him to stop telling lies about us (he said he'd seen us outside protesting earlier and 'causing trouble') and to get out of my space. I have never been spoken to with such utter contempt before. It is a popular misconception that Anarchists are violent and destructive, and one that your colleague clearly doesn't get!<br /><br />Thanks for confirming that it wasn't Mr. McCallum. It was, however, a young man who looks a bit like him, and was hanging out at the bottom of the stairs for almost all of the time we were there.<br /><br />I would be most grateful if you could endeavour to find out who this man is so I can put this incident to bed. Thank you for your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357499775964821963.post-16862869584238900672011-03-08T23:53:44.663+00:002011-03-08T23:53:44.663+00:00Did you come in late in the night playing music?

Mind you, we were singing loudly and not particularly in much tune!<br /><br />Hamish McCallum wasn't in this conference I can confirm that. I feel like I should at least apologise to you on behalf of the party for whoever it was - it isn't acceptable behaviour.<br /><br />Again, I can't agree with your description on how the country is being governed but we can at least agree to disagree on that.Mark Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030479655275524928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357499775964821963.post-25815138172299408422011-03-08T23:33:46.449+00:002011-03-08T23:33:46.449+00:00Well I saw you there, sir, and I don't doubt y...Well I saw you there, sir, and I don't doubt you saw me. Looked a bit like Hamish McCallum to me. Was he there?<br /><br />Fascists is indeed a very strong word. But I'm afraid with the way that the state is being raped by your bedfellows in these times there is no other word that I can deem suitable. <br /><br />I wouldn't dream of asking anyone to apologise for someone else, and I am aware that it wasn't you, but I do intend to confirm who it was and seek an apology. <br /><br />Being anarchists doesn't make us any less human or worthy of air than someone who is politicised or can afford more expensive shoes. He came over, twice, and ranted in our faces, twice, and for absolutely no other reason but to air his own self-dellusional importance!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357499775964821963.post-79915806918104133882011-03-08T23:11:35.058+00:002011-03-08T23:11:35.058+00:00Omitted because I'm unaware of this incident t...Omitted because I'm unaware of this incident that you have mentioned.<br /><br />There's no need for rudeness I agree but then using the words 'fascists' is a strong word and doesn't aide your case here.<br /><br />I can't apologise for him as I don't know who you are speaking of but it certainly isn't my way of dealing with people as anyone who knows me will testify.Mark Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030479655275524928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357499775964821963.post-70648733601923798422011-03-08T23:01:33.709+00:002011-03-08T23:01:33.709+00:00This all sounds very jolly, but you've omitted...This all sounds very jolly, but you've omitted to mention how despicably rude one of your members was to a couple of peaceful protesters in the bar late on Saturday night. It was clear by his tone, and indeed his whole attitude towards us, even down to lying about how we'd been acting, that he is used to having forlocks tugged in his mighty presence. Unfortunately for him, our 'sort' only acknowledge 'class' as greed and desperation for power. <br />His actions hardly aid the LibDem woolly people's people image, do they? They express much more that your party are in bed with fascists.<br />As a widely read blogger, I am sure my latest piece will read much more favourably if it ends with an apology from him.<br />That is all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357499775964821963.post-79026477881805910242011-03-08T10:05:24.060+00:002011-03-08T10:05:24.060+00:00It was a brilliant conference :) well said.It was a brilliant conference :) well said.How I see it - Ollie Dunckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210373384401853370noreply@blogger.com
