Ironed Sardine instead of a can of worms

Ironed Sardine instead of a can of worms

Now and again I will link to Dizzy Thinks, usually to slag him off, occasionally, like Bob Piper, if Dizzy Thinks posts something too good not to cross Left/Right lines, then credit where credit is due, I will praise him.

Tonight Dizzy Thinks has posted about Ironed Sardine. As it concerns me I have linked to it. Tim Ireland and Unity have blogged about Honest John. And, the Director General of the Prison Service, Phil Wheatley, has said that I am too honest for my own good. I don't believe that somebody can be too honest. However, I understand what he means. There is a view that sometimes it may be better to say nothing. In any event, that is not in my nature. Even if what I say may not be deemed as appropriate by some.

I jumped on a bandwagon rolling against Nadine Dorries, not because I had anything against her. I was simply toying with her name and came up with the anagram of her name which read Ironed Sardine. I then set up a blog and posted comments on blogs where she was the subject of discussion, expecting the Right to get up in arms about it. But instead, the Left got upset. Therefore, I pulled the blog and thought no more about it until today when I read Tim Ireland's post which I felt suggested that Phil Hendren who blogs as Dizzy Thinks was the culprit. And Tim appeared to be expecting a response from Phil Hendren. So I thought it was time to come clean and let Phil Hendren know that I knew he was innocent, and the reason why I knew it.

I will now don my WW2 Air Raid Warden helmet to soften the worst of the expected flak.
