Our own Frank Maloney says he dropped a crucial spelling bollock on purpose. Are you buying it?

Trying to dig his way out of a hole by the sounds of it. I'm not sure the much used saying 'any publicity is good publicity' applies in this case

He is better than Margaret Hodge.

Also that pudendum Griffin!

Given that Frank is dyslexic (how ironic that the word is so hard to spell), I think we can safely assume it was not a deliberate ploy (or play)...

i'm dyslexic and couldnt see the mistake :(

BTW, I certainly wasn't trying to belittle or mock dyslexia.

mistake and its cover up time

Whether it was deliberate or not, it's seems to have gone down poorly.

I like Frank Maloney and hope he succeeds 'regadless'

if anyody wants to know any information about Dyslexia they could do worse than to get in touch with the D.N.A. (National Dyslexic Association).



......sorry just a joke D

Terrible gag.

Almost as bad as the one about the dyslexic, insomniac, agnostic. He used to lie awake at night wondering if there was a dog..

Now that's a belter!

or the dyslexic devil worshiper who sacrificed a coat and sold his soul to santa.

Jimi Hendrix was perhaps the most famous Dyslexic..

..he choked to death on his vimto.

An awesome bit of pedantry there, but you are of course right!

BIGMARK wrote:Good on Maloney for trying to do something in politics and who gives a fuk if it's a mistake

Of course it's important, because political rivals will jump on ANY mistake. Just look at the fuss over the Janes/James/Jones woman. You can't very well stand on a platform of caring for Britain if you can't even spell the name of the country you love so much (assuming it wasn't deliberate).

That may be so - in which case, all the more reason he should have someone check his material before printing!

disagree.

all it proves is he can't spell. What about all them tw@ts that skanked the expenses. They could all spell beautifully I'm sure. So who gives a crap if Maloney can't spell. It's amusing, even a bit newsworthy, but in the wider context not much significance should be attached to it. And Maloney by saying it was deliberate just made himself sound a bit dafter if anything. It's really something and nothing.

I did point this out to Frank on saturday morning in the Coldness of Barking!!! he told me it was delibreate , so I just left it!!, I have never seen so many 'Vicky Pollards' in 1 area!!

I do agree. I even think politicians' private lives should be no consideration when voting, but you see how much fuss is kicked up when one has an affair. But it does suggest, at the very least, not paying attention to detail, and as I said, mistakes of any sort will be jumped all over by opponents.

"Can I smell burning ? Don't take the piss, I can't even smell my own name !"

"How many dyslexic's does it take to change a light blub ?"

I think thats it ?

More shocking is that some people actually read the Daily Mail.

It's the most vile, racist and wrongly opinionated rag out there.

In what way is the Daily Mail 'racist'?
