    Best advice?

    Try to explain just the once or ignore?
    Block him/her. It's easy, you only have to read what you want on Twitter.

      But the bounder is copying in all the people our side has taken time to find to tweet.

      Easy enough to block though - found that functionality.

      Thanks for quick response

          You can never stop trolls. The tweeting was only worthwhile before and during the Finance Debate whilst our issues were being written into Hansard.

          He/she can tweet to their heart's content.

          PS: replying to them will give them unnecessary publicity.

            What a sad little individual they must be. Best ignored.

              Pre 2004

              Anyone have any ideas how/when we can find out if pre 2004/no DOTAS are affected?

                7 followers before blocking them so a big (s)hitter?

                  Indeed. My ex-mp was on the committee that approved this stuff in 2008. He told me verbally he had no idea. He wrote to ED Balls asking if he knew what was going on in 2008 - Ed never replied. Eventually my MP gave me the standard Gauke response.

                    ECHR now?

                    So, is it all doom and gloom now, or are we moving on to the next phase? Surely this is where the ECHR might actually consider bringing our case forward, if someone here is facing imminent bankruptcy, in the same way that they seem to hear cases within about 24 hours if someone is about to be deported & likely tortured, for example? I suppose this is the same. It certainly feels like it.

                      Don't fantasize too much...
                      To be able to engage the ECHR, you first need to have been directly and effectively affected already - that is, you must have the APN in your hands already.
                      At least that's how I understand it.

                      So,if anything,it's not the time yet.

                      But I don't believe in doom and gloom, and that's certainly not the end of it.
