Norman Lamb and Facebook: descent into farce

By | Wed 22nd August 2007 - 2:34 pm

OK, this started off rather seriously – someone faking a Norman Lamb MP profile on Facebook.

It then got rather bizarre when the computer used to send emails out from the linked fake Hotmail address was also used to post comments from eight different aliases to this site trying to shift the blame to UKIP, Labour and the Liberal Democrats (but never the Conservatives).

And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have … a new “Norman Lamb MP Fanclub” Facebook group from one of those twelve aliases!

Here’s the “James Becks” Facebook profile and here’s the group.

And it gets even sillier, because here’s the story given on the group by “James Becks”:

I was informed there was a Norman Lamb Facebook group on Facebook and got excited. I got disappointed it got taken off so therefore I have decided to create my own.

Quick translation guide:

  • “I was informed” = “My IP addresss was used to create”
  • “It got taken off” = “It was exposed as a fake”
  • “I have decided to create my own” = “Let’s try again”
