There’s a lot to be optimistic about of course !
Britain showing signs of heading towards 1930s-style depression, says Bank
Falling prices? Where?
Pound vs virtually every currency is getting a hammering, because the UK imports so much, food and fuel are going up in price, as are all consumer goods. Council tax going up yet again (in London Olympics tax going up as well as it’s based on Band D). House prices only mean anything to the minority that move in a year.
Printing our way out of debt.A new book by renowned financial genius Gordon Brown. Bestsmelling Author of Borrowing our way out of debt
I was reminded of the levels of government easing during the last years of Wilson – I think the amount was £2-3bn (though I will happily stand corrected). Nothing like the hideous trillions McLarder has ‘eased’.
Of course he is.
Perhaps he meant to this to punctuated:
“I’m pretty.” “Optimistic!”
He’s as daft as his sister…
He did a pretty good job on those Scottish elections though didn’t he?
Yep – he managed to get the voting rolls “lost” in Glenrothes

Well, well, Lord Guido. Mod-free.
Some people have criticised you for the imposition of moderation, saying it’s like knocking at the door and then sitting on the step overnight, waiting to be told the servant’s entrance is round the back, and don’t forget to remove your shoes, and stand on that newspaper in the corner, and don’t you dare fucking swear, you illiterate, ungrateful little bastard.
Not me, of course, I’ve always been one of your greatest and most loyal fans. But one hears such nasty gossip.
Still, fairs fare, a welcome move. Congratulations and thank you.
Made me laugh that did. Ex apprentice, clearly now the master.Very well put Sir.
I’m liking this new comment system Guido, btw, mucho improved.
Real time info
Just passing through Schipol Amsterdam airport. Got some foreign spondoolies and was asked for passport. I asked why and they stated its to confirm you are credit card holder. Fair enough.
I then explained about the draconian laws that NuLabour were bringing in re reporting when you leave the country. The exchange bureau personnel were horrified at the implications and stated one the obvious what if you did not have a credit card a lot of people don’t?
By the way the new rules would not have worked with me this time either. Called yesterday afternoon to get out to Dubai ASAP. I left UK this morning first flight out 6AM Under the new rules I would either have been arrested on site and/or fined 5 grand and the Labour government wonder why buinesses are leaving in droves.
CALL AN ELECTION NOW OR A RIOT EITHER WAY I NO LONGER CARE
We don’t need an election or even a riot. What we need is a very bloody revolution.
They are actually proposing that you must notify the authorities, with full detailed travel plan, every time you take your small boat away from its moorings for an afternoon’s fishing…
Quite right too!
I’m currently in the office. I have no cup of tea to hand but can’t wait till ten when I can get one. I’m moving slowly up the corridor now, past the stairs and into another room with a glorious view of the rolling hills. Some rather large crows are sitting on the rrof of an outbuilding making a lot of sqwaucking noises. The phone is ringing….hold on…yes, boss, shouldn’t be so bloody stupid, yes boss, government policy not meant to reflect a daily diary, no boss, sacked!!???why boss?? for being fucking stupid. Oh I see, yes because I take the government at their very word….oh, I see, nothing to hide nothing to worry about eh?
As poster of the first message 0838 another example for you which is quite common. I left the house last year and was going to Italy via Amsterdam for a job but was diverted at Amsterdam and ended up in the middle East due to an urgent work requirement. I had to explain that one to the missus (missed holiday) which was bad enough but to government hoons? I would have no time to change the itineray so my stated was not where I went but there was little I could do about it.
Election, Riot or Bloody revolution now please
Why do the new rules impact on anyone who does not have a credit card? can someone explain pls. I must have missed something in the small print…
When asking your travel details for some unknown reason they also want to know your credit card details. It is unknown why this is the case and to what use this information could be put but ask they will.
Sinister and just another method of controlling the proles by holding various pieces of information as the information should remain provate but this government cannot resist peaking into all aspects of our lives.
The worst thing Dooogie evr did was throw his sister down the tree – then jumped after her…..
I agree, she is such an ugly bitch – looks like Touche Turtle.
Can I have some of whatever Mr Dooglearse is on?
You can, but then you’ll have to put up with a decade (at least) of the biggest depression of your life, as they concock another way to get their grubby little hands on the keys to No.10
PS. Nice style forum Guido, those dollylist trolls have yet another thing to make worth copying :-$
It’s a good job when you hover over the image it says wee_dougie_guillotine, isn’t it? otherwise you’d think it was Andy Burnham. Hang on, there’s an idea….
“I’m pretty optimistic. Me and my sister were drawn by Charles Schulz.”
Wow, that is some feat for a dead man………………….
In Dougie’s case I think Schulz signed off on 26 October 1967.
Stephen Timms was created by Charles Addams in 1955:
“This towering mute has been shambling around the house forever…He is not a very good butler but a faithful one…One eye is opaque, the scanty hair is damply clinging to his narrow flat head…generally the family regards him as something of a joke.”
Guido, O/T: a suggestion to make the new comment subthreads easier to follow. It is possible to have a button which condenses the comments to just headings, eg Mr X says:, Mr Y says, with unread ones flagged? ie like usenet newsgroups.

At days end you still only had half of what you originally had and it would be getting less all the time. Quite apt for labour at the next election then.
A truly realistic likeness.
You know you could now just call yourself “CCTV Star” and still have the link?
He’s far from pretty, and what reason could he possibly have for being optimistic?
Hey, Fred the Shred’s going to be sued by Letterbox Face. Which, so the Times says carefully, could prove embarrassing for the Government…
Please can we have all of them is a similar pose, please, NOW _ Brown, Bliar, Blears, Hoon, Burnham,Harriet, Prescott – the lot of ‘em
Ain’t it time someone exposed wee Doogie’s trip to Washington paid for by Bliar’s aide and architect of the nu lab project LORD Pillock Gould of Lobbying fame for Tesco? Doogie’s flights and accom was all bought and paid for by…? well methinks Mandy of bare-bum-boxing fraternity won’t be the only one wanting a free ride.
Look, leave poor wee Dougie alone.
He’s one of my strikers for Footie Manager 2008; scored 30 goals so far this season (Dolly’s way out in front though) for Zanu F.C. in blue square south. (25-0-0)
The lad done good. It’s a game of two halves. They think it’s all over… eh.
Alas, no. They don’t.
Wake up folk, the boy’s right, they will win the election, Glenrothes showed how it will be won:
http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2009/02/looks-like-glenrothes-election-was.html
Ah ha!
Labour’s very first election-winning idea… bring back the guillotine & public executions!
I’m sure this pledge would see them restored to office for an historic 4th term…. not that they’d be around for too long, mind.
Off with their heads!
Excellent idea indeed. And why stop there? How about the stocks for outgoing ministers of bad odour. There would be quite a few lining up to pelt eggs – obviously bananas for Millipeed.
The polls are “very volatile” at the moment???
Yes, sometimes the Conservatives are 15 points ahead, sometimes they’re more than 10 points ahead. It could go either way
Don’t laugh all Alexander the great has to do is get the elephants to dance into battle and he may yet win. As any historian will tell you Alexander wan against overwhelming odds without suffering a single defeat, even winning in northern Iraq. Mind you he did die of a fever in baghdad three hundred years before Jesus is that the time.
Dave “split the difference” Cameron is useless.
In an almighty crisis, Blair Mark 2 is not a winning strategy.
He’ll lose votes on the left and votes on the right.
His PR ‘handlers’ haven’t a clue.
He’s like a Goldfish swimming around a fish tank but less inspiring.
Major, Hague, and Howard were losers because they were rubbish.
Cameron is a bit “Tim nice but Dim” and rubbish too.
Well done, Dolly will be very impressed.
Hey up Penguin. Bloody good blog bud.
Behave, oh short legs, you know what happened last time.
I am posting comments too quickly??? WTF???
Testing, testing…
Couple of observations:
Left hand margin has disappeared off left. First two or three characters are cut off (anyone else? – I’m using IE6).
How does this self-moderation thing work, Guido?
I’m using IE6
Why?
Yep, IE6 all updates, same problems.
Display starts off OK, then the longer the page of comments gets, the more the text strays towards the lefthand edge of the screen, overlapping the blue border lines. By the end of the page, sometimes the lefthand edge of the comment box has disappeared and its heading reads “ave a Comment”.
Comment box cursor has then also disappeared
Exactly. Error compounds itself as the thread grows.
Why IE6, WIlliam? Because Bill Gates is such a generous, warm-hearted philanthropist I love putting my money his way.

I’d like to add the following:
Realist: “Who the &%$£ has been drinking from my glass?”
Poor Dougie. Maybe he should get a fingerprinting kit?
Well he WOULD say that, wouldn’t he?!
I think the only optimistic thing they will be thinking about is whether the number of liebour MPs residing in parliament in 2010 reaches double figures.
WHat will today’s scandal be about?
I’d be optmistic if i had a guaranteed index linked gold plated pension to look forward to!

Did we hear wee Dougie in his Marr interview criticizing the Tories about ‘privatizing things’.
I hope he cleared that with No 10 and esp. Mandy!! Wee Dougie’s postal service might suffer a service withdrawl, as the Postie feeds his letters to the Neighbour’s dog.
BTW Purnell was castigated on the Politics Show for his Welfare Reform bill – he certainly showed himself to be a creature-of-No-10. Labour is full of third raters.

Of course he’s bloody optimistic. He’s still got a job, while his sister hasn’t. Sibling rivalry is a terrible thing.
She’s doing a wonderful job scaring crows off t’top field
Little Dougie looks like the little boy in the class that gets his dinner money taken off him every day.
Seems to have the ring of truth – little boy gets bullied at school, has to go hungry, then spends rest of life over-compensating himself.
Jacqui Smith is another case. According to Wikipedia, she once heard a Tory MP speak when she was at school, and was so terrified she ran away to join the labour party. Now she is busy over-compensating herself too, having decided the protective embrace of the working class leaves a lot to desired compared to ACPO (Ltd).
Cosi’ fan tutti.
i like GBP – it’s on it way to 1.15 – 1.17 against the Euro by the end of April
€ .80 = £ 1 by the end of the year.
Why? You think that the Prime Mentalist’s QE is better than Angela’s strategy?
The Prime Mentalist’s idiocy is already discounted into the GBP, we are now seeing how much crap is in the Eurozone, I reckon there is industrial quanities of bad news to come
Tourist rate {under £500} on euro today is £1.01.
So looks like a nice summer in Devon. Going to be awfully crowded with all the extra unemployed middle classes rock pooling with the kids this year. Shame they decided against widening the only road that goes to there after 5 years of consultation. Better leave by April if you want to be there for July.
Hmm.. not convinced. It is very hard to fully estimate the idiocy of the Prime Mentalist. I reckon they have only allowed for the treasury activity a while back in letting the pound sink. The consequences of the current QE ain’t been taken into account yet.
Industrial quantities of bad news everywhere. Currencies are interesting because they force relative comparisons. The failure of the G20 will cause some real ‘Downfall’ scenes in 10/11 Downing St.
If Badger starts winning, then perhaps you are right and I need to move my Euros somewhere else, but GBP doesn’t sound like a good place to put them.
Malcolm ‘Three Nipples’ Powers,Ratfucking DVDs,and the state of Reading CLP considered…..
Off-Topic yes but needs to be said.Reading Labor may be the most corrupt in the country as many seem to think…nasty little smear campaigns carried out by Jo Lovelock,Mike Orton,Malcolm Powers, Mike Orton etc,etc,but I wonder if posting claims that there is in existence a dvd of Powers ,apparently,humping a giant rodent is the best way forward for those wishing to clear the filth out of Berkshire..[incidently the offending images are to be found on Democrat.Underground.Com. and are NOT as far as I can see-I have never met the man-MrPowers.
However if its Watergate style scandels u want then have a quick look at Janestheone where you will find calmly reported allegations of criminal entry

To be honest, with the EU Tories/Blue Labour as the alternative, i think they have every reason to be optimistic!
The Tories offer no alternative, just a change of frontman for the EU party.
As the Tories offer no real alternative, i don’t see how people will be inspired to vote for them.
`Anyone but Labour` won’t wash as Labour have it’s captive voters that the Tories helped to create!
I will be more than satisfied to see the Tories lose the Next election as they would then implode, totally collapse and the rise of a new alternative will be inevitable.
and that is what we need, a REAL alternative, not more of the same from the EU puppet stooge parties.
I like it, please keep commenting.
So what alternative should an opposition put down at this time in a Pariliament. ZanuLab are so bereft of ideas they have taken to spouting Tory policies and then attacking them like an opposition. Which is a joke as there dont seem to be many coming out of CCH or anywhere else.
The state of the interventions re banks has led to a collapse in the return on Pensions. Why? because the yield on gilts on which pensions are based has fallen through the floor! So more poverty for hard working people in old age and more grinning supercilious behaviour from the sleaze rats on the govt benches who will have a nice little earner forever! or at least until the tumbril arrives!
I think we all love Toby Zacharyha Ziegler from the West Wing – Aaron Sorkin was a crack addict at the time, drugs kids – can be ace sometimes eh? But to compete Doogie against Pickles is priceless.
Just looked up wee Dougie on Wikipedia. Truly a life of academic excellence of zilch practical use to anybody. Sister ditto. Father was a godie and lifelong friend of Donald Dewar and, would you Adam and Eve it, out of this staunchly Labour household spring two, er, staunchly Labour offspring with sermon tendencies and an understanding of the collection plate theory of finance.
Since election they no longer perform as a Crankies tribute act.

“do I believe we did enough to warn about the rising levels of corporate debt, banking debt and borrowing from abroad? No.”
If your that optimistic why not call an election NOW! Or is it simply a load of hollyhocks?
Total state control of every facet of the “citizen”. Odd coincidence that Orwell’s real name was Blaire, the same as out glorious former PM. Now Brown will finish the job and the freedoms we have taken for granted will be revoked, not all at one go bit by bit. One morning the police will call maybe because of silly typo on the govt computer or because you made a mistake informing the state of your travel arrangements. Unless someone has the leadership to roll back the state (Cameron, is public school twit) we are heading towards the totalitarian utopia new Labour always planned for.
Sorry, Sir, more than my job’s worth to let Sir on that flight. If Sir wanted to contest Sir’s parking ticket then Sir should have written formally to the issuing local authority at the time of the infringement, Sir.
Of course wee Dougie is optimistic, he wants the Tories to win too.
“Off with his head !” said the Red Queen, and behold ! his head was off!
I dislike this snivelling apology for a Scotsman! he lies about the SNP and Alex Salmond . Though I suppose the entire Westminster Labour Party can be accused of that.
Glenrothes should be a wake up call for all of you , not just Scots.
Every election people should demand international observers, preferably from the Nordic countries who sorted themselves out long ago and if Greenland is anything to go by continue in a non aggressive non cheating fashion ,so to do.
He’s not pretty and he shouldn’t be optimistic.
Where’s my knitting…….
He must have a pretty good idea of the number of postal votes Labour have already got stashed away.
So he’ already rigged the electionsame as he tried with the Scottish Parliament Elections .Remember the recent Fife by election and the disappearing register???
Why is this story illustrated by a picture of Des O’Connor with his head in a guillotine? More generally, why not have political cartoons by someone who can draw?
Dougie is very confident. He’s allready had a hand in rigging a few, his first got of too a tricky start in 2007 at the Scottish parliament, where he just estimated short. Then it was Glenrothes where tradition methods do better, the good old 7000 missing fifers, postal voter scam.
BREAKING NEWS…….
ITN
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090317/tuk-brown-admits-responsibility-for-cris-dba1618.html
Brown admits responsibility for crisis !!!!
The Prime Minister has admitted he should have taken tougher action ten years ago to prevent the current financial crisis. Gordon Brown, who at the time was Chancellor of the Exchequer, says he wishes he had pushed for international reform in the aftermath of the Asian markets crisis in the late 1990s.
In an interview, the PM said: “I take full responsibility for all my actions, but I think we’re dealing with a bigger problem that is global in nature, as well as national.
“Perhaps ten years ago after the Asian crisis when other countries thought these problems would go away, we should have been tougher … keeping and forcing these issues on to the agenda like we did on debt relief and other issues of international policy.”
Fears of tax rises to fill £28billion black hole as City tax take is halved

Daily Mail
Wee Dougie optimistic? Of his vote fixing or that the guillotine is sharp & he won’t feel a thing?
Re new travel plans – lie, lie & lie again. Once you’re out of the UK how can they track you. I’m certainly fucked if I’ll supply any credit card numbers to those Hoons. I’ll just claim I don’t have any. Fuck ‘em.
