Just Having Fun...Like The Tabloids but "they don't like it up 'em Mr Mannering!"

In July 2011 it was reported that Trinity Mirror would be making huge cuts. Now in 2012 nearly 20% of the editoral work force will be slashed. Funny, this hasn't made any headlines in the tabloids. This is the company that have mocked me for the last seven years so it was time for me to give a little love back.

One girl who worked at Heat and Editor for The Mirror 3am had been responsible for a number of negative pieces including a piece suggesting I used auto tune on X Factor. She is also sister to The Sun's Editor who regular takes cheap shots at me.

I did a tweet and it got an interesting reaction from some journos.

"3am girl Isabel Mohan quits her job and now I read The Mirror are making cuts. *wry smile”

Another Journo replied:

Little did I know that this ONE tweet would unleash the hounds of media hell. (a bit extreme but this is a tabloid blog)

Now I have no idea if Isabel Mohan took voluntary redundancy and don’t really care but to even suggest that she did has upset a few editors and journalists.

I have ‘enjoyed’ 7 years of tabloid humour at my expense so forgive me if take the opportunity to give a little bit back.

Considering I’m apparently no longer relevant (which is true - in fact I never was) this tweet got a pretty heated reaction from the tabloid media types.

Now, I have maintained that the negative propaganda from Cowell's PR team left me in a situation where I could either play the game and accept the harsh hand I was given or go away and try and do my own thing. The problem is the tabloid press are there to watch how I'm doing and ridicule anything I try.

I find it hypocritical that these people feel they have a licence to mock who they like regardless of the consequences and yet when I even look at them they take offence.

My tweet was nothing compared to some of the things written about me over the years but the reaction shows you just what a close-knit community some of these tabloid jounalists are.

These are some of the screen grabs from last nights exchange.

According to Alison Perry, Executive Editor of More! Magazine

I was attacking in a 'real twatty way'.

Had to google who I was but felt compelled to interject.

...and when all else fails revert back to "He's just bitter".

These are just some of the people who made comments on Twitter, trust me, some will be talkin... and guess what as if by magic, I've just had someone in the 'business' ask me if I would support Belinda Carlise in Nottingham for £100. This guy hasn't offered me work in SEVEN years. What do you think - should I do it? No chance of an article suddenly appearing that takes the piss?

Last thing:

Obviously, there are people who will lose their jobs that had nothing to do with me or Cowell's PR machine and I have no reason to dislike them. I don't want people to lose their jobs who does? but it's like feeling sorry for the train driver of the Warsaw ghetto. It's sad but maybe they should've consider a career move anyway. I did.
