Public apology to private smackdown

It would appear I am an absolute arsehead of a hypocrite. Having berated Mark Clarke for actively turning his back on me and others so that he could pontificate on his own greatness I have been informed that I may have ignored a hand extended to me to be shaken the other night by the blogger and CF exec candidate Anatasia Beaumont-Bott.

This post is a public apology for that, and a public guarantee that should our paths meet again in any circumstances she is to slap me round the face (preferably not too hard) for it and request that I buy her at least two drinks. Manners really do cost nothing and it's only right that I should apologise to her here. Sorry.

Update: Having spoken to Anatasia on the phone it would appear that I am probably not the person that failed to shake her hand when offered. It was a lobbyist. I did however fail to say hello to her so the slap around the face offer has been removed but the drinks remain. I still feel guilty, but thankfully not quite such an arsehead of a hypocrite. Bob Piper probably still wants to slap me though. Such desires of violence from an elected politician! Shame! Resign!
