# Derek Draper and Labour List


This is my first CDC is aaaages, but I wanted a real attention-getter to let you chaps know that Derek Draper wants you to create material for his New Labour not-a-blog, but he is not to be trusted:

Labour List - a warning to all potential contributors

He has proven himself willing to treat you - and your work - like dirt.

I've gone so far as to clearly state a policy that even if he finds something of mine and likes it, that he doesn't have permission to use it on his website.

# no more than
any warning about not trusting The Daily Sport or The Daily Mail etc., but I'll climb down from the soap box now anyway. There's an afternoon to enjoy.

# yep
post has just been updated

short version: he doesn't care what I think or say about it... despite his earlier waving b3ta output about as the kind of thing he's after. Again, his research is full of FAIL. There's maybe a dozen of so people who hang out at b3ta who do the kind of thing he's after on a regular basis, and I'm one of them.

# **Goes to read**
WTG for showing him up, BTW ^_^

EDIT: "i can't even be bothered reading this email it is too long" seems to sum up his mentality... no wonder he can't respond to his own comments list!
