David Jack Resigns As PPC For Stoke-on-Trent North And As Chair Of The Local Lib Dems
STORY NOW UPDATED!
In a shock announcement this evening, I can confirm that David Jack, the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Stoke-on-Trent, has resigned.
Mr Jack has also resigned as Chairman of the Stoke-on-Trent Liberal Democrats.
He had cited professional and personal issues as the reason for his decision. But more details are now emerging.
Mr Jack is known to be locked in a legal dispute with a number of companies after exposing a story on his Stoke North Liberal Democrats website.
It seems that Mr Jack has been embroiled in an email exchange with another party where racist and abusive language was allegedly used by Mr Jack.
Mr Jack denies that he sent the emails. Tonight he claimed that he 'was out on the lash' with twenty other individuals at the time when the alleged emails were sent.
He also claims that he is a victim of a smear campaign in relation to a upcoming court hearing to be heard in the Royal Courts of Justice on March 24th.
Mr Jack claims that there are a number of companies that have acted illegally with regards to consumer debt.
He said that he makes no apologies for protecting the interests of consumers.
Mrs Christine Grocock is likely to replace him as local party chair. There has been no further announcement regarding who will replace Mr Jack as PPC for Stoke-on-Trent North.
According to Channel 4 news's Political Reporter, Cathy Newman, the Liberal Democrats have launched an investigation into the matter and are not ruling out further disciplinary action at this stage.





Thank goodness for that, now
Thank goodness for that, now I can think about voting Liberal.
I'm sorry about that. No

No doubt the reasons will emerge over the next few hours and days.

According to Channel 4 News'

What? Unbroadcastable by Channel 4? When Channel 4 broadcast Big Brother and I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here? Good Lord! What is he alleged to have said? Oh, we may never know. As Cathy won't tell us.
Hope you sort out whatever
Hope you sort out whatever was up with you David- and let me state that I hope whoever the replacement is is man enough to come and post on here, with the hoi polloi, in the same way.
All the best David, hope you
All the best David, hope you get back to posting your comments mate. Again I agree with Garry(was hopitelized the last time that happened) and show David some repect, no matter about e-mails or not, he's done nowt to you lot.

Chin up David, you've got a
Chin up David, you've got a lot of friends here and I for one admire your work regarding these these loan sharks, that's the sort of thing we vote you politicians in for.
Thanks guys, your support is
Thanks guys, your support is overwhelming. No doubt those that i sought to expose for being criminals will soon be posting on here with more lies and filth.
Make no bones of this, what i have exposed is a multy million pound fraud, read about it at the OFT under 'debt sale and transfer' or 'assignment' and you will see what i am exposing as well as a number of companies who are claiming to be able to write off debt. So much of it is scam.
There is a high court case coming up soon in which i have thousands of cases of consumers being ripped off.
I resigned because i need more time and energy to prepare for these cases and the fact that the national party wouldnt support me in this endeavour. I dont want the hard work and efforts of our local party tarnished by someting that i am involved in. By distancing myself from politics i am also removing some of the channels for acusations of these criminals such as i am profiteering from politics or using political influence in closeing them down.
In simple terms, dont believe everything you read on the web and always remember , if it looks too good to be true - it could very well be the next scam.
LOL! I can't help but laugh
LOL! I can't help but laugh after the Lib Dhimmies said this about the BNP in Stoke:
"Stoke Central’s LibDem Parliamentary Candidate John Redfern said, 'Once again the BNP seem to think that standing in front of flags will convince people they are patriotic. In fact they stand for what many veteran soldiers from World War II in Stoke risked their lives to prevent – extremism, fascism and racism."
The report the BBC have is
The report the BBC have is worded very interestingly:
A parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Democrats has resigned after allegations a racist message was sent from his official email address.
David Jack, who was Lib Dem candidate for Stoke North, reportedly denies sending the email last Friday night.
The party says it has begun an "immediate investigation" after learning about the email on Tuesday.
It said: "David Jack is no longer a parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Democrats."
The seat is currently held by Labour MP Joan Walley.
Did he jump or was he pushed?
The fact is that Shaun
The fact is that Shaun Bennett expressed concerns over the suitability of David Jack to be a parliamentary candidate many months ago.
He probably now has every right so say told you so.
Exactly the man's a prat. He
Exactly the man's a prat. He was a prat before these allegations and he'll remain a prat after they are proved or disproved.
Channel 4 reckon this was
Channel 4 reckon this was part of the content of the e-mail in question,
"...if I was you I would f*** back off to the hills of tora borro (sic), I have your home address, you are f***** sunshine, we shall see who has got balls now you two faced lying f****** paki... your cards f*****... prison awaits you b** boy. Think your (sic) brave, you don't know the line you have crossed you f*** witt (sic) - keep looking over you shoulder theif! (sic)"

I don't for a moment belive
I don't for a moment belive that David would send anything as vile as that. The BBC say that he says he was out and nowhere near his computers when the e-mail was sent. It don't take a lot to send a e-mail from any address, all you need is a persons e-mail and the right password. I think one of the dirty scumbag loan munggers have done this, and sent that disgusting thing to themselfs, would you put it past that kind of cockrotch, becouse I wouldn't.
Caring for the city and all within it.
I don't know if he sent it...
I don't know if he sent it... actually I don't care one way or another. But just to clarify one point, you don't actually have to be anywhere near a computer to send an e-mail these days, there are plenty of phones that can do that. Being out on the lash may mean David was nowhere near his pc, but it doesn't mean he couldn't have sent it. How many regrettable texts get sent out after a skinful on a Sat night? Is it the same with e-mails now?
LOL!have you seen me brick!
LOL!have you seen me brick! It dont even have bluetooth - it rings and it dials - what more do you want from a phone?
Your right about texts though, how many times have we texted some one something embarrasing only to realise seconds after its sent thats its gone to the girl in the office or your nan? !!!
LOL.... David told Chennel 4
LOL.... David told Chennel 4 News he was 'out on the lash', good for him, just the sort of thing he'd say.

George, I would think many
George, I would think many drucken text and e-mails get sent on a Friday and Saturday night, with the odd strange photo in there to boot. But, I ask you this, would David, worse for the pop or not, send something that puts his chance of running for Westminster at risk, I 100% sure he would not.

David, your enemies, within and without will capitalise on your demise.

Rule no4 in Stoke-on-Trent
Invite everyone to "F*** OFF" in the Council chamber, be reported and observe no disciplinary action.
So it seems that the reasons
So it seems that the reasons for David Jack standing down were not entirely 'personal' after all but instead relate to an abusive E Mail that he admits was sent from his account-although he says he didn't write it.
I don't know about the facts of the case, I suppose its possible for someone to have hacked into his E Mail account. Certainly, he would be VERY stupid to think he could get away with doing something like that if he did it himself. And his defence is so weak on first glance that I'm inclined to believe him.
However, Whether he sent the E mail or not, I have been saying for a good many months now that I thought he was an unsuitable candidate. This was due to his behaviour on this forum and his consistant abuse of political opponents. He has spread vicious lies about me, my private life and my family; he has used abusive words to describe me; he has consistantly been a thoroughly nasty candidate. Indeed, this only stopped over a month ago.
So I don't know whether David has done the things of which he is now accused. We may well find that he has not. But his past behaviour does support the allegaton against him and given the words he has used in the past on this forum against me in particular, I think that many will easily be able to believe that the allegation is true.
As I said above, I'm very sorry that David is no longer the candidate. I thought he damaged the Lib Dems and I wanted to see him on election night when he came third. Another candidate may put up a better fight for the Lib Dems-and I'm sorry about that too.
Shaun , are you still bitter
Shaun , are you still bitter because i said you lived at 'home'??? Take a chill pill dude, not everything in life is about you.
Everything said to you has always been 'tongue in cheek' - no one takes you seriously, probably no one takes me seriously (until now obviously) but i really dont care anymore - i have better things in life to focus on.
Besides the world series paintball is up this summer and theres also a few tournaments in France and Sweden i wan to play in too - it never sat well with Cowley street that i was a serious painball player - and lets be honest the money in painball world series is much higher and more attractive than an MPs wage in any event!
David, I don't know about
David, I don't know about that, getting the magic pen out when filling out the expence forms seems to bulk the take home pay of many MPs up a bit...lol. Just ask Bill Cash, he seems to know about it.
Anyway, I think you sould get every last one of them money lending lowlife scum locked up for a good few years, good luck to you.

It's not necessary for anyone
It's not necessary for anyone to have had Mr. Jack's password in order for the email to appear to have come from him.
Anyone could do it. If the headers of the email were published, then we would have more useful evidence.
I would be less surprised to find that those accused of fraud had come up with this as a smear campaign than to find that a racist thought that the LibDems were the best way to achieve political success in Stoke.
You're quite right... but,
You're quite right... but, because I think he's quite an objectionable, childish fellow, I'd much rather choose to believe the worst, even though... if I'm being really honest with myself, I don't really believe it was him either.

I think these may be some of the quotes they refer to...
quote=David Jack]It's not me vote i'd give her!!!
Certainly would put something in her ballot box though!!! :-)
Wouldnt mind seeing her manifesto!
PMSL!!! :-)[/quote]
She has been foosted on stoke and when she leaves because she has lost we will all be labeled racists but the facts are that she is another tory token asian from a freaky background being placed in the public limelight to try and justify the tories statement that they are normal people from everyday life standing for them.
The real message behind this is that the tories are so desperate they will take anyone with a little bit of colourful background to try and raise their own profile.
She has only been a member for two minutes as well, what was the selection process? 'Gettem out and give us a twirl darling'? Or did she actually have a track record in london of representing people? Oh no!! I forgot she was a lib dem in london, obviously never had a politicsal carear or been elected either then!!!!! :-)
Is there much wrong with that? Is misogyny with a racila tint really so bad?
David, I don't want to kick
David, I don't want to kick you whilst you're down, so I will ignore the personal stuff.
As I said above, I think you may have been a victim in this case. But if you hadn't said some fairly abusive things about people in public in the past, you would have more of a case in claiming your innocence now.
I have said for a long time that you were likely to resort to personal abuse when you are losing the argument. There are numerous examples of your unwise remarks throughout this site.
Yes you may be a victim in this case, but you should have been deemed an unsuitable candidate last year following your remarks.
Shaun, you are a model of
Shaun, you are a model of restraint and an example to us all. Unfortunately the weeker willed amongst us e.g. me, are revelling in an attack of schadenfreude :-)
It's a pretty sad day when
It's a pretty sad day when comments like those David made on this site are considered objectionable. What next?
If I stood for election- well, you wouldn't mistake me for a Thatcherite or a loyalist to this government because it's obvious that I'm not. But if I've slagged people off, or if David has slagged people off, is that supposed to be curtains?
We've seen a girl fired from her job for saying on Facebook that she was bored at work. We've seen it all. I think it's because so many old-fashioned tossers still can't understand that the internet is actually very much like pub talk, not worthy of condemning someone.
You can forgive me for being sceptical as to whether he actually wrote that email, too.
Agreed Bernard. And if you
Agreed Bernard. And if you stood for election, I would happily debate with you the merits or otherwise of your policies in a full and frank way as I would expect you would do to me.
But what I do not expect during a political debate is for someone to accuse their opponents of being a 'nob' or an 'arse'. I would not expect them to pick on their opponents families, their private life or their personal circumstances.
Debate cannot be used as an excuse for abuse, and all those who think that there is no line that cannot be crossed probably deserve to go the same way as David Jack.
Yes, I see you can take it as
Yes, I see you can take it as well as dishing it out. But I have to dash everyone's hopes- I'm not going to be standing in any elections!
"In simple terms, dont
"In simple terms, dont believe everything you read on the web and always remember , if it looks too good to be true - it could very well be the next scam.'"
Your words David. Take your own advice!
How can you be exposing a scam that has been on the OFT website for six months, you were trying to claim credit for work the OFT has already done and failed to follow up because there is no scam.
I wish you all the best in court and hope you are not wanting or hoping for the OFT to back you up as they will not, they are the subject of court action themselves on this issue.
Hacking is easy to prove and as it was a Lib Dems email account it will take them 10 minutes to check the IP address of all emails sent from that account, or will you claim next week your wireless braodband account was also hacked with 128 bit encryption. Just admit you got things wrong, as we all do and move on, life is as hard or as easy as you make it.
We all never stop going up that's why its called growing up, so David GROW UP! give us all at least one thing to respect you for.
Oh well, there is an emtpy
Oh well, there is an emtpy place in the BNP camp now that Alby has gone.
If this turns out to be true David could take his place.
So David Jack would have us
So David Jack would have us believe that somebody hacked into his email account and sent the offending email. What a cock and bull story!
This has echoes of Lee Wanger's tall story that he was in the habit of letting people walk in from the street to use his computer and one day he just happened to leave his credit card by the computer, and whoever it was that day just happened to use his card to sign him up to a child porn website. Yeah right, as if!
Read DJs Scam.com posts and
Read DJs Scam.com posts and then make up you're own mind about whether he sent this email. Although some of his older, drunken, rants are now removed there are still a few gems.
I don't know many other people who are so bad at spelling and grammar(perhaps when slighlty tipsy) It's not very often you come across someone who enjoys using the phrase 'f*ck wit' in type so liberally. A coincidence I think not. His fingerprints are all over this one.
I'm sure the BNP will be happy to have him though.
The problem is Shaun, you
The problem is Shaun, you have most faith in those that do not speak and have little faith in those that do.
You give the anonymous critic all the power and the open voice none.
You wish only to have sensible and serious debate by those whom are not exposed as doing any wrong.
Who are these people whom you consider fit for purpose and worthy of our vote?
I have been busy forming a list of 'crimes' made by those that serve us Labour/Conservative/Liberal/Councillors/Candidates.
My list should mean that you would not debate with them and they should not serve us.
Some require a prison sentence.
Being silly is the least of anyone's problems.
You've missed the point Gary.
You've missed the point Gary. I have never said that I don't debate with them. I have debated with David even after his abusive wording-as many people on this site will testify. Indeed, we debated so much that some people I seem to remember complained that we took over.
I'm talking about a little common courtesy in debates and avoiding abusive words and outbursts.
You and I are forever debating, and yet neither of us have ever resorted to cheap personal abuse have we.
Whilst i still like and have
Whilst i still like and have sympathy for David I have to agree with Shaun in that he did often go OTT with his personal remarks and Shaun always came out better simply because he chose not to respond in the same vein.
It is up to David to say
It is up to David to say wether he wrote that material or not and it's not up to me to decide that he did write it.
Personally, I thought his political arguments had grounds and in between the banter, his case often stood up.
The notion of politicians not using racist and offensive language in private is a myth.
I have a full list of serving politicians who use these terms on a near daily basis.
I don't wear it that the moral majority are not the one and the same immoral minority that use blackmail, innuendo and disloyalty to further their own cause.
I'm busy keeping a score on political fatalities and I've yet to see a sprained finger come out of the 'sacked' and 'fiddled' arena.
Come on, let's have a little balance here.
We need ELECTED politicians either de-selected, removed or jailed.
The election is not far away and justice needs to be seen to be done before-hand and not revealed to us afterwards.
It's looking a bit silly now.
"Laugh and mock us all you
"Laugh and mock us all you want, not much at the moment I can do about it but one thing I know is that things always change and I know who will be the last person standing. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."" CreditCardKiller. Taken from a letter from Rankin.
David, you now know how it feels to be accused and have to try and prove your innocence. God is watching us all and he will judge us, so we should leave Davis alone to put his life back together. We need to learn from the actions of others, but he was warned and we all must be responsible for our actions and that was David's Campaign that he lost sight of.
It's not clear to me how good
It's not clear to me how good an MP David Jack might have made, but I await with interest the results of the investigation into his email account. It is fairly easy to show if his email address was merely spoofed. It's a bit trickier to prove if someone actually managed to hack into his account and genuinely sent the mail from David Jack's account.
I'm sorry to say that my common sense is leading me to believe that most likely neither of these scenarios happened, simply because a quick google indicates that Mr Jack can't control himself, and likes to swear at people and call them names, between his more sensible arguments. His opinion:
'sorry i wasnt born with a silver spoon in my mouth, whats wrong with words like arse, bull shit, crap ect? its real english as far as i am concerned and understood by anyone and everyone, except those that really dont know their arse from their elbows because they are so full of crap that they think the rest of us will take their bullshit...????'
The supposed quotes from his offensive email looks very much like a more extreme version of his normal, more public posts, right down to the mistakes. Doesn't look good. Lib Dems may have had a narrow escape from a more serious embarrassment.
There's a terrible 'armchair warrior' culture whereby people hide behind their keyboards and think its acceptable to use language to abuse others that they would think twice about if they actually were down the pub. It's also amazing how otherwise intelligent people constantly seem to mess up through not properly considering how the internet works.

David Jack.....still around???
