Queen and King
A governor of the Bank of England has never had an audience with the Queen before. King had just told a stunned Westminster that there is no more money for another fiscal splurge. Perhaps Her Majesty is worried that the currency adorned by her face is being recklessly devalued. If she next calls in the generals for an audience our unelected, unmandated Prime Minister should really get worried…














God Save our Queen
She will certainly do a better job than Brown!
This seems like (a) a pre-emptive strike and (b) a hilarious way to resign.
Gordon Brown is doing a good job.
What shape is the sun on your planet?
You’ve spent too much time letting doom-mongers like Guidoik do your thinking for you.
Milliband, get back to work!
….of completely fucking up this country.
Yes, I agree, he is.
Unfortunately for him, the vast majority of us would prefer to live in a prosperous respectable place, not a third-world shithole…
you get what you pay for.
England will be a third world country – the way the tories want,
Third world countries have fucked infrastructure, no cohesion, dog eat dog, its every man for himself, just like the tories want. So thê population is in fear and they can grab up the assets.
Not surprising with all the third world immigration
he is a stalinte,and and you sir,come back to planet Earth.
Gordon is very good at doing his jobbie, is he not?
Here’s a quick lesson for you:
We live in a parliamentary democracy. Labour WON the last election, 3 in a row, and thrashed Michael Howard’s Tories. The British people voted for a PARTY, not a Prime Minister. We can choose whatever leader we like!
By the way, I never voted to have a Monarch. The “Queen” and her “Royal” family are sponging off hard-working Britons because they happened to be born into the right family. It’s no surprise that you and your fellow hard-line right-wingers are Royalists.
Once again, the Tories would do nothing to get our country out of this global economic downturn. They would spend LESS on schools, hospitals, public transport and keep people out of work, just like the 3 million+ who lost their jobs under Thatcher.
The Tories’ budget doesn’t add up!
So they should spend LESS – they should cut spending on the state by 80%. It is overblown, inefficient and supports idle layabouts.
Cut spending on them by 100% in fact.
Surely this is a joke?!
Either that or you are one of around 30% mostly dole-seekers or who still believe in the ZanuLab project.
Yes brown is doing a good job!
but only if like him you support te “LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR”
like socialists do. He is an incomptent, usless twat, no idea about fiscal policy, how to run a business, and ikethe rest has help doing up his shoe laces.
The Tories’ budget doesn’t add up!
How much drugs have you taken, do you what what a defecit is?
It would add up if they used “borrow x amount” as the balancing figure.
That’s all Gordon Brown does to get his budget to “add up”.
You’re wrong. We didn’t vote for a party: we voted for individual members of parliament who just happen to be members of the same party and can club together to form a big enough majority to form a parliament.
Otherwise are you saying the Ulster Unionist MPs, who helped Labour out to win a number of key votes recently are actually Labour MPs?
There’s no reason why a number of Labour MPs can see the writing on the wall at the next election and see that a legitimate survival strategy would be to distance themselves from the current regime.
Its also possible for the population at large to divert past this corrupt, bankrupt government and petition the Queen directly. Given a large enough number of requests to dissolve parliament, she may do it. Its not impossible. Don’t forget, the monarch still has important political powers, its not quite a figurehead role, despite what the nutters on the extreme left say.
As for the Tories spending less than Labour after the next election, Labour themselves have already signalled a huge reduction in public spending next year. Watch the coming budget and look out for proposals that are announced now, but are enacted next year. Its a trick they’ve used before: remember the 10p tax rate cut?
But Gordon Brown is pathological: he doesn’t care about the country because he knows he won’t be re-elected. The danger is just how much does he want to cling onto power after waiting so long and wanting so much to be PM? I pity anyone deluded enough to think he’s “doing a good job”.
I think you are getting your Unionist parties confused there.
Perhaps you should get a job and stop living off my wages?
No, single parent is not a job.
Leave off the single Mums’. Some are widows, some are divorced. But don’t be too hard on those who “fell” pregnant. All they want is to find love, have hope and a future. That’s what “benefits” are for surely?
get behind me satan.
Coo-ee!
Just for a moment there I thought you were going to come in and brag about what a fantastic job Gordon Brown has done this past 12 years. But I see you too are more concerned about what a terrible job the Tories would have done if they’d been in power. Thanks for reminding us.
For one moment there I forgot what was the key issue. That Gordon Brown’s complete destruction of the economy this past 12 years has prevented the Tories from being in office. Actually, no, that’s not the key issue. They key issue is that his fucking government has destroyed the economy. I don’t care who is in power as long as they don’t fuck up my life’s work. But this government of fucking imbeciles has not only fucked up my life’s work but my kids and grandkids. And your life too only you’re probably too fucking thick to realise it.
And their idiocy is compounded because they refuse to accept any responsibility are continuing to hammer nails into the same fucking economic coffin.
Well said, but you could be a little stonger with you language, these champagne Socialist have no idea how the other half have to live.
Ooh, get him: “we can choose who we like”? Tell me HP what explicitly was your personal input into that particular situation? The trouble with you ZaNuLab types is that when you get cross you come over all hissy-fit nazi yourselves, this doesn’t then help when you accuse tories of being nasty nazis. Oh BTW you do know that Nazi stands for national socialist don’t you and you are up to speed with your early to mid 20th century political history, eh?
Has one tune and one tune only and it’s always boring, boring, boring.
Hey Guido, any chance of posters not hijacking properly registered names like this?
“The Tories’ budget doesn’t add up!”
They haven’t produced a budget you lefty fuckwit.
That’s because the Tories are not the government.
It’s a Labour government that is fucking us up, just as they always do.
Good news on the budget though.
Because of the need to cuddle Obama before making a budget, this year, all those people who’s car tax is due 1st April will NOT face the car tax increase as the budget hasn’t been announced.
Where is that Labour budget by the way? I want a bet on this years tax rise that is disguised as a cut.
I think it will be tax credits.
They really must be getting really worried about the next election (if Gordon ever lets us have one!), because there are more trolls here every day!
Troll activity (easily identified because of its repetitive nature, lack of coherent argument, and appalling grammar) always seems to peak during the student holidays.
God only knows what their course work must be like.
Labour didn’t win the last election – in all the local elections they got their arses kicked.
And in the last GE more English voters voted Con than Lab, but because of the disgraceful pro-Labour bias of the fiddled voting machine Labour got many more seats than they should have. Although to some extent this will be rectified at the next GE, there will still be a pro-Labour bias to some extent, which hopefully Dave will abolish when he gets in.
You want to stop paying Liz, then, Numbnuts?
Ok, then break the contract re Civil List. HRH will then take back the Crown Estates – handed over in exchange for a regular income – which earns the Treasury far far more than is paid out to The Firm.
Typical envy-driven Socialist – price of everything and the value of nothing.
I think you will find that her benefits can be cut just like anyones, how about standard old age pension, if her stamps are up to date, otherwise she’ll be means tested and get nothing.
Labour got about 3% more of the vote than the Tories – and less votes in England – hardly a thrashing. If it wasn’t for the rigged system they wouldn’t have had a majority in 2005.
And guess what? If you think Labour aren’t going to cut public spending you need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
Here’s a quick lesson for you, HP. Labour got only 36.91% of the popular vote nationally at the last GE. Their share of vote from the entire electorate eligible to vote was 21%. 79% of the electorate are thus not represented in Parliament. That is NOT democracy. The sooner FTPT is abolished, the better.
Just to inform you we do not have a Monarchy, it ceased to exist when cromwell,excuted
king charles. then they put a king back and called it a Monarchy it is the Big lie! and it was done for one reason,because the Aristocrats and the so called Parlarment,Because they knew that without the Illusion of a Monarch, the people would bear no sence of Loyalty
to a bunch criminals.SO dont be Decived we have been a REPUBLIC for a long time.
There is precedent…. her representative in Australia, Sir John Kerr dismissed a similarly incompetent hubristic PM and his vandalistic government back in 1977. Funnily enough it was another Labour government bankrupting the country back then – surprise, surprise.
She should look at the history books and act to save the country, just like Sir John did in her name.
Damn right. (Except that it was 1975).
I may just stay in bed come the G.E.
There’s fuck all to get up for, its back to business as usual.
Nulab/Tory no difference.
If you’re too apathetic to vote against the delusional egomaniac who is currently in 10 Downing Street, then you are a fucking idiot.
Rights of the Sovereign, to advise, to be consulted and to warn… “Now Mr King, tell me what is really going on….”. Could it be HM has doubts about the, how shall we say, state of mind of our PM. This could get very interesting.
As it happens the Governor has had audiences with the Queen quite regularly. Lord Richardson was very pally, hence the Garter. One reason was to get her agreement to new portraits on the bank notes. But I think Merv’s chat will have been more serious. Pity she doesn’t have the constitutiional power to sack Gordo even if another Zanu saw out the next year. A monkey could not do worse.
Technically, she can sack him – she appointed him after all (any regrets, ma’am?)
Similarly she could dissolve parliament herself without having to be asked by the bunker-dweller.
Yes, she was probably discussing her portrait for the nu £5,000, £10,000, £20,000 & £50,000 notes, soon to replace those worthless bits of rag, currently in your wallets.
This is surely a sign of the end-times for NuLab.

” Sky Breaking News
Vandals Attack Home Of Ex-Bank Chief Goodwin”
-our hearts go out of course…
And the Beeb have put up some nice stock images of his home, location of his CCTV cameras so any future attackers have the know how to deal with those nasty nasty bankers.
How come Rozzers are standing guard outside? Your granny doesn’t get that service and I dare say he’s insured err… by us.
Hunts.
Just read that. I don’t condone vandalism per se, but when it happens to such an utter Hoon it’s difficult to feel much sympathy. The bad news is that his security arrangements are being provided by RBS – i.e. WE are paying for it.
As the story was being covered on PRAVDA there was a link to another story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/newsbeat/newsid_7961000/7961224.stm
Just when you have given up hope for the younger generations… ;-D
I’m confused, why is an RBS spokesman talking about the enhanced security arrangments and Mr. Shreds house? Isn’t he now off the payroll?
Yes, it is odd isn’t it?
Perhaps it was part of his obscene payoff/bung/pension that he’d be looked after for the rest of his life.
He can afford his own security, after all.
But then scum like him always want so much money paid to them, but are strangely reluctant to pay for anything themselves…
What they meant to say was New Labour agitators vandalise a persons property in acts similar to Nazi Germany.
The officially predicted and officially named “summer of rage” has been officially kickstarted to ensure the anger is directed down the right path and can be manipulated by Nu Labor for political gain rather than directly threatening their own personal safety.
I bet she is more worried about her own finances as I mentioned on my blog.
It’s true then – you CAN fool some of the people all of the time …!
Get stuffed Draperbot. Labour have lied and spun so much that they cannot be trustedf at all.
“… police are appealing for witnesses …”
One suspects that there are rather a large number of closed ears and eyes around Morningside.
If we’re getting stick from right-wingers like Guido and his followers, we must be doing something right!
You’re not very good at being a wind-up merchant, you need to do something like write “Tra laa” at the end of each post.
As a Libertarian rather than a “right-winger”, I am interested to know what exactly you think you are getting right?
Surely a ‘right whinger’.
LIbertarians aren’t, strictly speaking right or left, no matter how hard the Socialists squeal.
You know that there was a manifesto pledge that Blair would serve a “full third term”?
But if you believe you can elect a ‘party’ who can basically change their whole ideology in the middle of a term, then you’re barking anyway
Labour broke an election promise – worthy of a dissolution of parliament
If the Tories Budget doesn’t add up, which may be true, Zanu’s certainly fails to add up. So I should keep quiet at the back there.
She knows she can’t trust the one eyed faggot to tell her the truth. Next step is to have a word with Phil and arrange a contract.
Leg Iron, stop it. It isn’t clever and it isn’t funny
Better him than me or Gordon.
Surely that is a grave insult to our primate cousins?
You mean like the dissolution when they broke their promise of a referendum on the EU Constitution/Constitutional Treaty/Treaty of Lisbon/whatever the fuck you want to call it to disguise the fact that it has wide-ranging constitutional ramifications for the UK?!
Oh, wait…
If Atlas is right – she’s just been working out what day’s convenient for Mr King – we are moving into wedding season after all. Her manners are impecable.

Queen gives Brown a black Mercedes
Hearse?
I’m amazed nobody has yet made a comment along the lines of “is King meeting Gordon then”?
Your homophobic comments are just another reason why the Nasty Party will never appeal to 21st Century Britain, especially young people and the LGBT community.
Has Alan Duncan gone back in the closet then?
Draperbot – you know you really haven;t got the hang of this trolling thing, have you?
You’re supposed to wind us up, not make us wet ourselves laughing.
Oi, HP, less of your sauce; you are NOT the only gay in the village.
Please go and get some therapy. If any party is “nasty” it’s got to be broons labour party. Crush all dissenting voices, spy on the population, wage wars where they are not wanted or needed, play fast and loose with the truth, screw the economy and then blame it on others….the list goes on and on. They’re a busted flush and come the next election they’ll be arses.
Yeah, cos there are no gays at all in the Tory party *rolls eyes*
‘Ear stop it. I’m hurting I am larfing so much.
This guy is the best piece of satire I’ve seen in a while
The nasty party are your nulaber lot, fuckwit.
The ones who lied to us to take us to war in Iraq.
The ones who killed Dr David Kelly.
The ones who condoned the rendition and torture of ol’ mozzie wotsisface.
The ones who sent British troops to Afghanistan saying not a single shot would be fired.
The ones who filled our country with Islamo-fascist bomb merchants.
The ones who arrest opposition MPs for handling leaks.
The ones who ban peaceful protest outside parliament.
The ones who use anti-terrorism laws to spy on people’s rubbish bins.
May you get what you deserve.
Yeah, the knobgobbler in chief wants to meet with Jonathan King
well said, Aethelred.
Goodwin is the wrong target although I have no sympathy for him at all. He ought to be ashamed of himself but then he wouldn’t know any better.
You are Dolly Draper and I claim my £5!
You’re getting stick from pretty much everyone – the opinion polls, MEPs, Mervin King, even Barack Obama who couldn’t be arsed to hold a proper press conference with the Great Leader.
“King meets Queen”?
Surely as Mr King meets McMental all the time this cant be a one off
I wouldn’t take any financial advice from King. He has been consistently proved either wrong or months behind events. The Augustus John painting of a former Governor in the B of E will be watching aghast at the decisions of these fools. Certainly the subject will be turning in his grave.
Yeah, Mervyn King is part of the problem not the solution.
Harman pride
The Conservative party is full of poofs and Bis(plus a few dykes) so dont count your chickens
Nice photo. She timed this well with Gordon & Co out of the way.
Hey your Mag, you know all the money you’ve got, you don’t any more, I’ve quantitatively eased it. The money is as worthless as the not up to date portrait you use to deface all the UK’s currency. That’s what you get for not kicking out the New Labour government you love so much. Ha ha!
Her Maj is not daft. She won’t be in Sterling. And she is wealthy. She has assets that produce income. She is an object lesson as to how capitalism should work, if it wasn’t taxed and regulated to death by loony lefties.
So looking at yesterdays inflation figures, old Jonah has actually managed to achieve the near impossible.
Has given us both inflation, and deflation at the same time!!
You have to admit he has fucked the British Economy in a unique way. Maybe this is what Blair meant by the ‘Third way’!!
I am a pesimist when it comes to the economy, but I am begining to think I have been over optimistic in thinking we are completely and utterly fucked.
Jonah has taken us to a place that words have yet to be invented to describe.
Still look on the bright side…………oh yeah there isn’t one.
W.W.
here are my thoughts on the same issue W.W. I woke up very angry this morning.
Do you have an answer to this Harman Pride or are you just going to call me a homophobic racist and let it be?
http://cityunslicker.blogspot.com/2009/03/deflation-talk-is-cover-for-government.html
“Has given us both inflation, and deflation at the same time!!”
Yes, and it’s usually called Stagflation : Stagnation and Inflation.
May he get what he deserves.
Unfortuantly it is US that are getting what he deserves.
W.W.
Wasn’t the term ‘Third Way’ coined by Mussolini?
Very clever move by her Maj. She will know more than the Scottish Twat >not difficult< and will be in a position to tell Darling to FRO when he presents his budget for her approval.
Wednesdays are always a good day for a coup. The fucking imbecile is out of town. Practically the entire parliament is in town for PMQ.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are quorate.
All it needs is one honourable (and although they’ve done a good job so far of disguising the possibility there surely should be at least one who sneaked through the selection process) Labour MP to stand up and submit himself for leader of the Labour party. Right there during PMQ. Then sit back and watch the rush to fill out applications from Straw, Harman et al. They could get the whole fucking thing done and dusted in half an hour and then arrest that fucking imbecile Brown if he dared return to the UK.
But they’ve resisted the urge so far for such a simple democratic solution. So perhaps the normal statistics do not apply and there really is not a single honourable Labour MP.
Alternatively perhaps a Tory could ‘cross the floor’ and then offer himself up as a candidate for PM.
Gordon is a loony – and even ‘the powers that be’ are being forced to admit it.
The BBC have paraphrased Kings statement as:
he effectively said that the government would be mad to consider another large stimulus package
This is a shot across the prime mentalists bows – that he will be publicly declared mad (but the BBC and the Bank of England) if he carries on.
Unfortunately, as he is mad, it is not clear what he is supposed to do – stop being mad? surely that isn’t in his power.
He needs to be declared mad now and shuffled off – those complicit in concealing this must be held to account – they are clearly hoping that this can be kept quiet till the next election and then he can disappear and everyone can pretend it was just poor judgement.
We have a nutter in control of the national purse, and with his finger on our nuclear button — surely there is some contingency plan for such a set of circumstances.
We were all warned, but we hadn’t the power to do anything about it:
http://www.order-order.com/2008/10/bbc-daily-politics-psychologist-brown/
After seeing his grinning imbecility in the EU Parliament during Hannans brilliant harangue I am now absolutely sure Brown is certifiable. I just could not believe that such a hopelss manic gurning loon was there representing my country. What must the rest of the world think of us?

Live interview with Gordon Brown at 12.20 gmt.
On a lighter note, I have asked a few times on here the origin of Draper’s tag ‘Dolly’ all to no avail.
However, last Saturdays Mail to the rescue, for anyone else who did not know, it really is because of his resemblance to ‘Dolly’ the cloned sheep.
Now if we can only find out where they clone all those God awful NuLab wimmin!
Maybe Mr King was telling Her Maj. that she will have to rent out Windsor Castle, Balmoral and Sandringham as holiday lets to make some cash. McRuin has probably secretly sold off the Crown Jewels to some Mega-Rich Eastern Bloc Oligarch for some more dosh to waste on his mega-dreams of turning the UK into a land of ‘Cash, Milk and money’ for the Chav variety….
Perhaps another good reason for having a republic. If the head of state was elected and had a democratic mandate Brown would be getting a talking to from someone he would need to fear. Mind you, a talking to from a doctor would be more to the point.
You actually highlight my main reason for supporting the monarchy.
Imagine if Brown was our head of state !!
A monarch has nothing to prove, so need only be driven by their own morality. Brown got power by appearing to be good at economics(!) – now he can never admit a mistake – all his power depends on his reputation of having been a good chancellor – all other politicians are in a similar position.
And at least we can pretend to believe that Lizzie wouldn’t let him completely destroy her subjects.
He would have needed an election to get in charge. It’s a non-issue.
It is a global crisis, that means all around the world.
It is an unprecedented crisis, that means it doesn’t have a precedent.
This nugget is the truth and even those with foam flecked mouths will struggle to blame it on Brown.
Japan’s exports plunged a record 49.4% in February from a year earlier, amid waning global demand for the country’s cars and electronics, reports Bloomberg. Shipments to the US, Japan’s biggest market, slid a record annual 58%. The collapse signals GDP may shrink this quarter at a similar pace to the annualised 12.1% contraction posted the previous quarter, the sharpest since 1974.
Apart from putting a generation of young people on the dole and try to stigmatise them as idle, what will the Conservatives do to ameliorate the effects of the crisis? The Conservatives have a very long way to go to shake off the deserved image of being the nasty party, the party of the few who in times of trouble expect the few to be bailed out by the many.
Oh dearie me!
Not recovering at all, you are still under the anesthetic!
You stupid deluded wankstain. Fuck off back to Dolly and tell him you’re just not up to the job. Then go back to being Billy No Stars at your other McJob.

So, from your response we’ll take that as they’ll ‘do nothing’ then shall we?
Do check the corners of your mouth for flecks of foam, unless you are effervescing right now.
You nasty little short legged Tory creature.
Yes, it is a global crisis, and Brown has gold-plated it just for us, to make it even worse! How kind.
Gordon loves poor people. He loves them so much he is going to create a lot more of them.
Thickero,
It’s also an unprecedented, ok, global and unprecedented.
Hardly unprecedented – just look to the 1930s.
The “roaring 20s” were another credit-fuelled boom with dodgy financial practices including leverage to buy stock on margin. After that, as now, came the unwinding of all the malinvestment, currency devaluation, inflations & some hyperinflations, Depression, poverty, violence; rounding off the decade with a global war which ended the Depression with full employment and immense fiscal stimulus as governments spent everything they could grab on the War Effort.
See Devil Take The Hindmost (Chancellor, 1999) for common features of bubbles, booms, crashes, busts.
There are ways an average bod can protect himself from the firestorm, but not many will take the necessary steps and anyway there is not enough scope for all to.
PS: I bet the next world war kicks off in the Middle East or Kashmir.
Please leave the Great Leader alone. He really is the best leader that our party can offer you at the moment. Gordon says that he loves you all in his funny Victorian Dad way. He just has funny ways of showing it. He so needs your love and so he just cannot understand why you won’t give it to him. We have tried to explain to him why you withhold your love but he just hunches up with that fake grin and starts scribbling down new plans for the fiscal stimulus. Then he changes the subject. Its difficult not to despair; as some of you say being around Gordon at the moment really is like being in the Fuhrerbunker in 1945. He isn’t sleeping well. He hardly sees his family. He broods and sulks.
Yet Gordon must continue to lead you. It is necessary. The truth about the economy must be concealed for as long as possible, at least until the rest of us can get clearer of the blame. God help us all if there is a change of government and the people find out how really bad things are. There won’t be enough piano wire. Look, the truth is that most of us came on board with Dear Tony and hoped that PM Gordon would never happen. It was always about the project, about the power, the fame, hell politics was the new showbiz. Champagne receptions for the gilded youth, Tony with his Fender Strat, Tony in an open necked shirt, pretty straight guy, all of that. Hope and smiling faces everywhere. Always lurking like the troll under the bridge was Gordon but we could pretend that he would never happen. God how my heart leaped when Tony peached on the restaurant deal but in the end Gordon got his way. The rest you know.
Here we are today then and what we have to offer you is more of poor Gordon. Please give him another chance. Say it’s OK and you forgive him and we promise he will be a better man, a leader that you can be reverentially fearful of. Please……he’ll give you a tax cut.
Whoops a fucking Daisy!!

Guido,
Please do not rely on the generals backing Her Majesty.
They seem to have the same problems with their spines that all other public sector “ve ver only following orders” have these days when confronted with the fuckwittery of Mcmental.
No, the Generals are just another public sector non entity mouth piece for the McTwats State that we will just have to deal with when the time comes.
Queenie could dissolve Parliament though – & who in their right minds would not support Her?
Gobble, gobble, gobble
True. Remember when those spotty navy lads and ladette where captured by Imadinnerjacket’s patrol boat the other year? The Chief Matelot kept saying how proud he was of them and that they were the finest sailors to ever sail the seven seas, when in effect they were totally out of their depth (har, har) and ineffectual as fighting personnel. So Admiral Morgan and his Hammond organ was totally on message there, the products of the ZaNuLabour deferred success education ‘system’ wwere simply the best, and had no equals. Bollocks! The Australian navy had a similar encounter previously and simply told the Iranians to fuck off otherwise they would be skewered – simple. But PC ZaNuLabour educated wimpy non-aggresive brainwashing had resulted in national humiliation.
We can’t rely on any drastic action from the military direction to get rid of these hoons – ballot box only, which is how it should be, but desperate times call for desperate measures – sound familiar?
She wants to find out what Gordon has put up as collateral for all his loans.
Is McDoom missing PMQ’s again? What the fuck? Does he not have a duty to be here for that? Fair enough if it’s a formal conference or something but this constant fucking off to do other things is a joke. Like when he generously cancelled PMQ’s a few weeks ago. That’s like me generously refusing to fight Mike Tyson when he wants to kick my head in.
Just got a letter from John Lyons the Parliamentary commissioner this morning re Griffiths………
In the end he says:
The Code of Conduct for Members states that it “does not seek to regulate what Members do in their purely private and personal lives.” I do not consider, therefore, that the totality of Mr Griffiths’ reported conduct comes within the merit of the Code, since it relates to Mr Griffiths’ personal behaviour and his private life. I have considered, however, whether Mr Griffiths’ reported behaviour in his room in the House of Commons and reports of his initial response can be held to be a breach of Paragraph 15 of the Code, as you suggest in your email. I do not believe, however, that this behaviour as reported, whatever view people make take of it, could be held in itself to have brought all Members generally and the House itself into disrepute.
For those reasons, I do not propose to institute an inquiry into this matter.
For fuck’s sake. How on earth is it possible for this not to reflect badly on the House. Let’s all try doing this at work in the coming weeks and see if we keep our jobs, arguing that it doesn’t reflect badly on the company.
Next week is going to be interesting!
Maybe she is asking him where all her Gold has gone ?
[...] reportedly the Queen is having private chats with the governor of the bank of [...]
“Hallo..& what do you do?”
She just wants to know the truth.
I wonder if Her Maj has already suggested to Gordo that he should have a Gen El, and he’s refused. She’s worked out what the rest of us have. That he’s stark raving bonkers.
Love to know what King told her.
