Matt Wardman Wire Less : Where's He Gone?


The highly respected Wardman Wire and Matt Wardman websites are both showing the same message .... "This account has been suspended". His Twitter and Facebook accounts are still active but neither have recent entries.

Any ideas?

Bloggers, in general, seem to be dropping like flies at the moment.

What the fuck is going on?

Is this thing contagious? Do I need to disinfect my google reader or something?

Yes I know exactly what is going on- I am trying to get hold of Matt, I am trying to contact him

Gildas said...

I don't know these gentlemen but there does seem to be a sort of cull at the moment 
Could it be plague - "the Blog Death"? :-[

"The Blog Death" - Now there's a phrase that's going to stick if all these closures continue. Hopefully, this one is a coincidence though and it's just a simple case of a 'cock up' somewhere along the line.

Just be careful when you go out after Dark Gotty...

Could it be that these bloggers are "mysteriously disappearing off the face of the earth" because they have been abducted and forcibly taken to "Re-Education Centres" to be brainwashed and undergo a lobotomy and transformed into clones of the leftist authorities, just like Stalin's old Soviet Gulags???

GrumpyOldTwat said...

It was only a matter of time before some fucktard, or other, pissed him off enough to bring out the double-barreled shitgun ;)

GrumpyOldTwat said...

Just going to check if anyone has daubed a big black cross on the front door of G.O.T. Towers ... before it gets dark ;)

GrumpyOldTwat said...

They'd have to fucking kill me first!

GrumpyOldTwat said...

The silence is beginning to become deafening .....   :(

In all honesty, I believe its because after 13 years of Blogging about two corrupt & mendacious Labour administrations .. the Bloggers concerned (like the rest of us) hoped & prayed that with a change of government, we might see an upturn in the way the country operates ..


This, most certainly hasn't happened .. in fact it could be reasonably described as having got worse .. simply because the current government knew & know full-well the wrongs of the previous administrations & are doing little or nothing to counter or redress them ..  

The vast majority of the population seem happy with things the way they are .. so long as they've got their "Enders", "Strictly", "X Factor" etc ..

That, to someone who had hopes of making a difference has to be soul-destroying ..

To Blog every day .. to commit one's time, thoughts, effort etc in an attempt to inform people of the contempt in which they are held by government & its various "arms", has to be a constant drain on the Blogger ..

Various people have at various times suggested that I start my own Blog .. not really difficult to see why I've resisted doing so .. is it ? 

GrumpyOldTwat said...

Do you know .... you're probably right. Nothing has changed at all since Cleggeron arrived, as far as I'm concerned<span>, and yes it has got worse. That is why I'm still here. But ... on a bad day I find myself thinking "What's the fucking point? What difference can we all really make?" It's like banging your fucking head up the wall, no-one is really listening, they're more fucking worried about some braindead fuckwit winning Strticly Come X Factor In The Jungle On Ice ... or some such shit.
</span>

I must be having a bad day.

"What's the fucking point? What difference can we all really make?" It's like banging your fucking head up the wall, no-one is really listening.......

Yes, WE ARE FUCKING LISTENING........, and reading, and thinking and wanting things to be better for our grandchildren.

Just know that you are appreciated, ya cunt.

microdave said...

He's been pissed off by Sainsburys self-service tills. I fully agree with him, so went and said my ten pence worth...

microdave said...

Better to have tried and failed, than to have not bothered at all (at least I think that's how it goes).

And if you are having a bad day just imagine your cars speedometer was showing this:

Caratacus said...

"And who must do the difficult things, O Master?"
"Those who can".

Caratacus said...

In my own subtle and understated way may I just say...

I'D FUCKIN READ IT!!

Just saying, that's all.

GrumpyOldTwat said...

Oh dear, the dreaded 'spanner' .... not good.

GrumpyOldTwat said...

Thanks but maybe I didn't make my point well enough ... I didn't mean me in particular, I meant our tiny [in the scheme of things] corner of the blogosphere where all the bloggers, their commentors and their readers are all tuned in to what the fuck is really going on.

*dunno*

microdave said...

It wasn't the spanner I was thinking of - look at the mileage figure - 80085 or BOOBS with a segment display!

GrumpyOldTwat said...

Not very often I miss some boobs! It's the red wine .... haven't had enough ;)

Barnehurst Bob said...

bang on! I've had the same thoughts myself. I think this is the lull before the storm, they'll all be back, but this time they'll be angry!

Caratacus said...

Talking of blog sites suddenly going tits up, has anyone else noticed that John Redwood's appears to have gone AWOL?

GrumpyOldTwat said...

Judging by this most recent cache of the John Redwood Diary, it would appear his site has been hacked ... which would explain it being taken down altogether. Viagra anyone?

microdave said...

Well you didn't have any problem seeing the Boobs in your last post....

Craig said...

Christ Gotty, watch your back. You'll end up stuffed into a tartan shopping trolley in the bathroom...so who have you upset? It started with your broadband connection so whats next?

The Grim Reaper said...

Hey, don't show pictures of me to illustrate your point! I've got nothing to do with whatever's going on at the moment....

Dioclese said...

You won't get rid of me that easy! I'll be back in a few weeks, but have left some goodies to keep you occupied whilst I am away...on holiday again!

GrumpyOldTwat said...

"<span>so who have you upset?" - how fucking long have you got?</span>

GrumpyOldTwat said...

On holiday? Not a-fucking-gain! < *jealous*

Bring On The Revolution said...

You're absolutely right Gotty that nothing has changed at all since the Cleggeroons arrived on the scene. Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg are every bit as much of a pair of treasonous, treacherous traitor cunts as their utterly useless Liebore predecessors. The whole lot of the Muzzie lovvie EUSSR Europhile cunts ought to be fucking hanged, Utter cunts the fucking lot of 'em!!!

Captain Haddock said...

How the "other half" live .. eh ? .. ;)

Anonymous said...

AND WHERE OH WHERE IS AL JAHOM?

GrumpyOldTwat said...

He's still twatting about on Twitter .... mentioned something about blog being back after he'd finished fucking around with it (or something?)

Anonymous said...

It's gonna happen to us all.

Anonymous said...

Thanks GOT, I thought another one had bitten the dust

microdave said...

What - disappearing?  We're all going to die eventually, but the recent happenings are more sinister...

thespecialone said...

'A Tangled Web' blog is showing as suspended as well.

GrumpyOldTwat said...

ATW - now that I do know about. It's all to do with them still transferring the archives over to the new system. A decades worth of posts and 300,000 comments appear to have crashed the webhost's servers. Not a popular event in some quarters but it is being sorted. Hope that helps ;)

GrumpyOldTwat said...

Good news! Matt Wardman is now back up and running again :-D

I just blew a fucking huge oak tree out of the ground. It never done me any harm but I feel a lot better.

Why are the right wing bloggers dropping like flies?

Executive Action, Gotty, Executive Action...
