Grant Shapps is still a sock-puppeting loser Comments

Our Prime Minister has missed his vocation (or has he?). He should have been an impresario. The latest artistes to be billed on his show comprise: The Mystery Man - first you see him, then you don't. The Money Man - a man who can make money disappear merely by saying 'expenses!' The Snarling Man - who defies the police to arrest him! And, and! The Laughing Lady - a star of the show - she gives money away! Meanwhile... that well-loved ham, The Juggler, by popular demand, returns with his remarkable money juggling act! The Big Community Circus is coming your way!

"the business is now in his wife’s name" The same wife who also "works" alongside her mother in Mr Shapps' constituency office? Or does he mean Michael Green's wife?

Great summary, I expect you will be updating soon as more is coming out by the hour. His 'internet Guru' talents are criticised here http://www.imreportcard.com/people/michael-green where his courses are described as 'overhyped' and 'over valued'.

Here is a commentary on Michael Green\'s reputation from: http://www.imreportcard.com/people/michael-green \"Michael Green Reputation Based on my brief research, some members of the online community are somewhat unhappy with the over-inflated value of his accompanying bonus products. Even his own products are over priced with over-hyped sales pitch to accompany them. He seems to take a particular liking to the word secret when the describing his methods and techniques. The problem is, sometimes these methods are not really a secret at all. This Internet Marketing guru makes use of fake numbers and false deadlines which correlate to the existing date the visitor arrives at his website. This serves as a familiar reminder of the way the way the late Corey Rudl used to market his products. Fortunately for his affiliates, there is nothing to worry about commission payments as most of his products make use of the ClickBank marketplace as the trusted third-party payment and marketing platform.\"

I quite understand. I suspect that you'll get around to it eventually, as he will almost certainly deny (or not bother responding), and when it comes to Grant Shapps (and other hypocrites) you appear to be doggedly determined to call him (and them) out. :-) Who in the name of hell uses Microsoft Frontpage 6.0 now-a-days⁈ ;-)

Will happily chat about where I see similarities if called for later (i.e. if Shapps denies this but we only have his denial to go on), but v. busy today. My apologies.

Although I must say. I don't see the similarities in design and code that you see Tim. Visually, they look quite dissimilar and whilst 'Chuck Champion' seems to have (or 'hired' someone to) hand coded howtopickupwomennow.com, 'Michael Green' seems to have used Microsoft FrontPage 6.0 (how lazy!) to design his run of the mill early 90s websites. I haven't taken the time to review the code in detail though (I find the lack of tab formatting in 'Chuck's' site, makes the code a misery to inspect - how lazy! « Ha! A connection) so maybe I'm missing some less obvious common motifs and/or marketing code? Regardless of whether 'Chuck Champion' (an obvious alliterative pseudonym) is in fact Grant Shapps, the latter is certainly involved in some rather cheap/lousy online 'wealth generation' schemes. That his sites (e.g. savemysurgery.com) keep company with similarly loathsome online 'content' producers is no surprise. A big reputation fail for Shappsy, me thinks. Especially in light of his record of sockpuppetry, twitter followback 'scams' and fake twitter followers.

This really puts the not-quite-yet-official-news that Shapps has been 'promoted' to Tory party co-chairman into perspective. Clearly, the Conservative party feels right at home with a sockpuppeting sleazeball like Shapps fronting them. Wait, that's perhaps being a little ungenerous to the party. Rather, Cameron is right at home with a sockpuppeting sleazeball like Shapps fronting his party (not surprising really; former PR 'guru' Cameron must feel right at home with people of such 'character' and 'integrity'.) I really, REALLY hope that Shapps is voted out come May 7th 2015. I couldn't bare yet another parliamentary term (and the knowledge that I'm surrounded by gullible idiots) of this shyster as 'my' MP.
