Well after seeing the latest Video od Dorries ( spending a lot of time hiding behind the chap next to her. This was because she could NOT look you in the eye. Gold star to you for being Polite.What a problem this woman is. Followed her for quite some time ( not literally ) but her blogs and can she spin some stories !!If you can prove you didn't send emails to the MPs she mentioned then go for it !!I think she is unhinged looking at this video

I'm sure if Nadine Dorries regarded/established this to be some form of smear or attack by proxy, her lawyer friend Donal Blaney would be more than capable of removing the content, even with his limited abilities. Me, I'm just trying to get a point across. Previously, this point has been rejected by supporters of Dale on the grounds that Watson must be guilty. Now a potentially illustrative example presents itself, I'm going to use it.Again, I wish to reserve any judgement on possible drug use until more is known about the drugs in Dorries' possession. We dont know, for example, if all of them are prescription drugs or even if Dorries has a valid prescription for those that are.

I'm not sure it's productive to respond in kind and by proxy.The BBC were criticised for asking whether Gordn Brown took anti-depressants, which was described as a rumour spread by right-wing figures on the internet.

I did forget to link to the source. Now fixed. Thanks.I have tried to get this point across to certain parties before and failed. I am trying again with a keener edge that they may be more likely to appreciate (seeing as the same people who automatically assume Tom Watson to be guilty typically think the sun shines out of Nadine Dorrie's arse). I make no apologies for it, but obviously do not want anyone to come away from this post with the impression that Dorries has taken crack cocaine.Without going into the motives of the sisters (or the sweet old dear who was worried about 'count the white person' days at a local mosque), I feel I should say that there's no evidence beyond their specific claim that Nadine offered anyone drugs… and no evidence beyond Nadine's vague suggestion that anyone other than the producers went through her bags.On the matter of prescription drugs, I would want to hear Dorries' response to her apparent possession of the slimming/'amphetamine' pills as well as the temazepam before commenting on her rights and any possible wrongs.

you forgot to link to the source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/02/...I watched the programme, seems that Dorries passing on the complaints of the old woman to the mosque caused some upset. So these women went through her belongings.And from Dorries' replies it seems clear that she had a receipt for some jeans, plus a quantity of temazepam in her bag.The tabloid scum spotted this, and went around to these self-described MP haters. And suddenly they come out with the not terribly credible claim that Dorries would wait till the cameras were switched off and then offer controlled drugs to these Dorries-hating women. When the tabloids turn up things have gone from 'Dorries is an anti-Islam bitch who takes legal but slightly questionable drugs' to 'Dorries illegally tried to push addictive drugs onto poor people'. Big difference.I wouldn't expect the producers to confiscate an MP's prescription medication at all. Why would she need to hide it? You wouldn't hide your insulin or statins. £50 is a different issue, but poor people are allowed prescriptions too.I don't think 'Iain Dale's website is a sewer' implies that it's ok to publish swill about an unconnected MP.
