The BBC will never revolt against their ZanuLabia paymasters. Something strange is going on.
I wonder if it’s a Tory person who’s had their mitts on them?
This will be a repeat of the purple flour/Fathers For Justice incident: MPs’ security is paramount blah blah blah
When the various governmental bodies of Europe where purchasing confidential information from banks in Liechtenstein I do not seem to recall any worries about privacy violations…
you so right about that, but you have to remember the whole thing is a ruse to move attention away from the rip off of the taxpayer and onto the media which broke the story of their thefts
“If you have nothing to hid you have nothing to fear”
Oh, I get it that just appllies to us Proles not you troughing bastards!
Column 7 of your Members Allowance Expenditure reveals the biggest porkers.
Column 4 is staff costs and we would all like to know more about column 7 as it is for staff cover and most importantly ‘other costs’ – what other costs can there possibly be if they are claiming for porn and bath plugs!
Well the biggest porker is Tony Blair with total costs for staff and column 7 “other costs” of £ 19 188 plus ££54 210 = he claimed a total of £63 412 for 2.5 months for staff and “other costs” – were they working on his Faith Foundation at a cost of £21 684 per month at taxpayers expense?
Porker column 7 shows no surprises second on the list is Ann Keen with £19 142 and fifth Caroline Spelman with £13 897

“Communities secretary Hazel Blears has asked the Commons authorities to correct what she says is a “discrepancy” in money claimed for journeys taken by her husband Michael Halsall. The figures suggest she claimed £2,953 for six single journeys -equivalent to nearly £500 a trip – while she maintains she claimed for 17 trips worth £2,615.85 ”
Gosh, another one. How about that!
Anyone fancy a bit of Raw Meat with me and my missus?
Though straight, if forced, could cope with your todger, but as for that hippo of a wife of yours . . . feck no!
I thought the PM said you were just getting on with the job in hand.
Jacquing off?
The BBC are simply trying to spin this story to take the heat off Liebour and 5 bellies Smiff. You can bet that the arse lickers like Marr, Prick Robinson, Michael Prick and John Pinhead will be spinning the leak story.
I can’t remember the BBC being bothered about Caroline Spelman or other Tories?
This is in the public interest, perhaps we will see more arrests by this fucking bunch of corrupt left wing wankers and their arse cleaners at the BBC
Guido,
Many thanks for all the referrals to my little blog in the past few days.
If it wasn’t for all our sleazy and corrupt politicians, where would we bloggers be?
Seems to be something on the BBC’s news website about CS spray at a Tory party party in Parliament – obviously a bit rowdy, these politician people.
O/T …Sounds like some pissed-up journos having a rammy in the House tonight:-
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/House-Of-Commons-Speakers-Chair-Arrests-Three-Held-By-Police/Article/200903415252212?lpos=Politics_Carousel_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15252212_House_Of_Commons_Speakers_Chair_Arrests%3A_Three_Held_By_Police
Comment 91 by unablogger on the previous thread:
“They have systematically destroyed this once great country pandering to gays and ethnic minorities (yes I am a proud troglodyte).”
Guido, I urge you again – please delete this comment and ban the user, or I will report you to Derek Draper as allowing racist and homophobic comments on your blog.
Who’s Derek Draper, the blog police?
Kunt.
Freedom of speech has its limits. Until appropriate measures are initiated to regulate and police the type of material that can be posted on the Internet, it’s up to the blogging community to police themselves. Otherwise you’re making it easier for those who want stricter control over the Internet.
we know what free speech mean to the Labour lackeys. No dissent from the party line. All who are not with the party must be insane.
“….or I will report you to Derek Draper…”
Eek!
Ban free speech!
Arbeit macht frei!
Freedom of speech has its limits – it doesn’t mean freedom to shout “Fire!” in a crowded theatre.
Hate speech and incitement to violence or hatred based on race, gender, disability or sexuality has no place in a modern, tolerant, equal society.
We live in the 21st Century – get used to it.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2006/apr/30/uk.labour1
Prescott?
This is how it starts: “Freedom of speech has its limits …” Next Harman Pride and her ilk will be controlling what you’re allowed to say, then controlling what you’re allowed to think.
Shouting “fire” in a theatre is not an example of free speech, it is an example of a nuisance that is well worth accepting if the alternative is thought control by fascists like Harman Pride.
Putting aside the fact that the very term “hate speech” is disingenuous newspeak, how is saying “govt panders to x” “hate speech”? No retribution is called for except a return to equality before the law.
But what do rabid socialists care for the Rule of Law, eh? They just want power and authority over the lives of others. Consent is not necessary.
We live in the 21st century
You nulab Hoons live in the 19th
truth hurts
Harman
Gay relationships were widely talked about even in 5th century Athens. Indeed, the text I read at A-level warned young men to brush away the impressions of their genitals left in the dust, Apparently, young men would commonly try and seduce their older male tutors.
Homosexuality surprises no one. But actually thinking about the homosexual act when you’re hetrosexual makes most people laugh out loud at the absurdity.
The act is funny, even in the C21st.
This Harman_Pride character is either insane or a wind-up merchant. In either case, best to ignore.
What a total windowlicker you are, Ms Pride – what people allow or disallow on their blog should never be up to fascists like you or Draper.
It’s the plain truth that New Labour panders to the queers and the ethnics – and if you don’t like having the truth pointed out, then you’re part of the problem.
We (that is the decent majority) don’t like the way you Marxist fools have debased our country, and will have you out of power sooner than you think.
Oh, and you can report me to Draper – if you think I’m worried by a fraudulent non-psychotherapist then you’re more of a Hoon than you appear.
“Oh, and you can report me to Draper – if you think I’m worried by a fraudulent non-psychotherapist then you’re more of a Hoon than you appear.”
I think Derek would be very interested in this comment – why don’t you give him your name and address, and you can settle the matter in court.
You really should not talk about yourself in the 3rd person. It’s not a good sign.
You’d know that if you really had studied psychology.
Or are you – to quote you – just “demented”.
Ooh Harman Pride – ’settle the matter in court’?
Tell you what – I’m trackable by my (admittedly crap and amateurish, but I’m new to the game) blog – why don’t you get Derek on the case?
Oh, I forgot – Derek isn’t capable of such technical feats, being unable to wash, shave or keep his wife in check, the dumb fuck.
You might try thinking for yourself occasionally, you silly bint (there you go – sexist as well, so you’ve got the trifecta, as if you’d know a trifecta if it bit you on your no doubt ample troughing arse).
Oh, and I’m in Aldershot by the way ;o)
Fuck off – you twat + 1/2
“Until appropriate measures are initiated to regulate and police the type of material…”
And who will define the ‘type of material’? You? Zanulabour zealots? Will there be an all-party commission defining ‘the right type of material’?
What makes you Zanulabour thieves think you are the final arbiters of what we, the people, should see, should talk about, should think?
You read some of the comments here and get indignant. Have you ever wondered why the comments can be so vociferous? Perhaps it’s because people have no faith in you, your ideology and most certainly not your integrity. There is anger in this land, raw anger that is just below the surface – anger at all your lies, your meddling, your destruction of ancient liberties, your holier-than-thou attitude, your pandering to Islington groupthink and your elitist attitude. Yes, elitist – you Zanulabour hive-minded destroyers have no love for the ordinary people of this country. You deserve nothing less than oblivion. Communism is dead, Socialism is dead on its feet and this Government has been found out. Where you are not laughed at, you are hated and despised.
Go. Just. Go.
How to make a Socialist apoplectic – mention ‘race’ or ‘gay’ in a sentence in a way that is not with the groupthink. Add in feminism for bonus blood pressure points.
All women selection lists? All non-white selection lists? You don’t see that as, hmmm, discriminatory in any way?
HP. If you believe the comment is any of the things you claim, you should have immediately reported it to Derek. You are failing as an upholder of the Labourlost standard of public morals if you do not.
The comment says ethnic minorities. Everyone belongs to an ethnic minority of some kind so if no single minority is selected, how can it be racist? The same applies to the homophobic complaint. Why should the term gay only apply to the LBGT people you want it to apply to. Heterosexual people can describe themselves as gay if they wish. Your attempt to discriminate against them has been noted. To describe the comment as homophobic you would have to be sure what the poster meant. You seem happier twisting the words to fit you own definitions and then finding fault.
I do not know how Derek would analyze your actions, did he complete enough of his course to form an opinion?
“did he complete enough of his course to form an opinion?”
Derek is chippy. No certificate required.
Fuck off you labour ponce or I’ll get the piano wire out.
Fuck off.
Is it a hate crime to say that you are a pleb and moron of the higest order HP? Tell your fat, lying, sleazy boss Draper he can fuck off too.
Do give me your phone number if you want to discuss further.
Jackboot hits back:
Apparently, Eric Pickles has just been CS gassed at the House of Commons during a party – or something like that anyway.
And meanwhile, Nick Sarkosy’s threatened to walk out of the G20 if he doesn’t get his way. Zut alors!
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/G20/article6005810.ece
What larks.
SKY News saying they were 3 journalists but not from the usual HOC mob. Looks like they were rolling out from a party held by Fatboy Pickles.
not having a good few days is he!
No doubt ZanuLab BBC will have a field day with this to deflect attention from Jacqui Spliff and her onanistic hubby
Once again, the Tories have shown that their capacity for immorality and sleaze is far worse than Labour’s.
How is the weather on Mars?
Moron.
As far as I understand they weren’t hookers…unlike those invited in by NuLab types.
You are not the best of Dolly Draper’s attack monkeys are you?
In whose deluded world?
This Labour lot have broken all records.
Remind me: it was John Prescott fucking his secretary in his office during work hours – with employees in the next room.
Hmmm. Nice people.
You sound desperate.
I have nothing to do with Derek Draper, what are you on about?
Once again, the nulab thieving sleazy troughing pig-monkeys have shown that their capacity for immorality and sleaze is far worse than any politician ever in the history of the fucking universe.
Now fuck off back to Tuscany.
And Prescott? Still waiting for an answer, derekbot.
John Prescott may not be the most eloquent politician, but he has more in common with the ordinary Briton than the whole of the Old Etonian Tory front bench put together!
Yes, he made a few mistakes. The important thing is, he apologised. A few peccadilloes didn’t affect his capacity to do his job.
The hard-working British families are interested in policies, not gossip.
The Tories are opposed to spending more, while Gordon Brown is committed to a financial stimulus that is putting people back in work.
And meanwhile in reality………
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QXRm8WxqwVE/RZpTJaVhuNI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Uyra562mS8M/s1600-h/missingthepoint.png
Harman_Pride get a grip……please………
Of course the issue here is the same for parties, pubs, clubs and other dens of iniquity across this land on a Friday night; people have to much to drink, they get shouty and annoyed. This is called normal life sadly.
Can you explain how this equates to sleaze and immorality?
Perhaps it should have occurred to Brown to run the government and the economy in a responsible manner because then people wouldn’t have lost their jobs in the first place.
“Yes, he made a few mistakes. The important thing is, he apologised.”
Oh, a ‘few mistakes’. Lol. He didn’t apologise, he spat in our faces and laughed all the way to the bank.
And he was the least ‘able’ minister of all time.
From now on, all your desperate lies and pathetic slurs should be answered with one word: ‘Prescott’.
He’s the embodiment of titanic labour sleaze and the stinking sexual and materialistic venality of your perfidious bosses.
Get yourself a proper job, draperbot.
“nothing to do with Derek Draper”.
You’re linking to his idiot fucking blog, twat.
Fuck off you Labour ponce. Go back to being Mandlebum of fondleboy’s rent boy
these where journalist not tied to the Tory’s, independent people make their own choices.
Moreover the police are calling the fight a domestic incident, the inference could be they were a copuple, so please apologise for your rabidly homophobic comment that these people or immoral or sleazy, or your hate crime will be noted
Hymen Prick..you really a a bit of a twat aren’t you….
@ Hymen Pride
“I have nothing to do with Derek Draper”
Very fucking wise.
How’s the treatment coming along?
Ok, and the other comment about Prescott. Well I seem to remember that his department was described (in Private Eye) with a 360 degree review as not having a strong idea of what it was setting out to do.
Families are worried about things like: paying their mortgage, what will they feed their kids……..not policies
Families are worried that their children will be impoverished paying off Gordoom McBust’s debt.
Who was it that said in an earlier thread that there would be a purple flour type incident in Westminster to step up security? Step up and accept your prize sir/madam
It was me, Wim Dit, it’s an anagram you know.
Weapons of ass destruction, anyone?
(sir) Stuart Bell Mp (nulab) on newsnight says the list is on sale for £300,000 and rising as interest rises too.
If the troughing MPs weren’t trying to prevent access and weren’t robbing us blind, the price would be £0.
Fuck ‘em all.
Best stick it on eBay, and get some taxpayer value for money
Surely in today’s cash crisis the papers won’t want to pay that much for it.
I say list … what I actually meant was photocopied receipts.
Like putty in our hands, Al Beeb is now shifting the focus onto who leaked the information rather than the embarassing information itself.
Comrade Bacon is also doing a sterling (pre-devaluation) job.
Comrade Maguire is also putting a tory high life story out as well just for good measure to bury the expense issue
Glad to see the usual demented, paranoid ravings from the Right.
Is the security of our nation, in this War on Terror, of so little importance to you?
Could it be that the BBC is more interested in real issues than in tabloid gossip?
Tough on expenses, tough on the causes of expenses.
“Could it be that the BBC is more interested in real issues”
No.
Now fuck off back to Tuscany.
Fuck off you labour poofter
Hello Mr Pride,
Sky News is leading on who leaked the info, and BBC has it as number 2. Attention well and truly away from those corrupt MP’s. Mission accomplished.
It looks like a feeding frenzy in tomorrows press. Good!
National security is more important to the BBC than tabloid gossip.
Ahem.
Prescott.
National Security?
You mean securing salaries?
Supporting the lying scum of ZaNuLab is all that matters to the BBC.
We all know what’s important to the state broadcaster and all the little lefty arse-bandits therein.

“…someone always becomes the symbol of systems that have gone horribly wrong. It is unfortunate for Jacqui Smith that she is that someone.”
That’s like asking, “Haven’t you read the latest Downing Street press release?”
Nigel Griffiths
You’re getting paid to write this shit, right? This is Labour’s refuckingbuttal machine in action? I mean, it doesn’t sound like the work of someone who is passionate for a cause, it sounds like third-rate reiterations of nulabor press-release. Cold, dull and humourless, the only relief offered is the hysterical raving when you think someone’s not being peecee. “Reported to Draper”, indeed. Fuck you. No-one with any shame – let alone “pride” would try to defend the indefensible with such a pathetic pantomime of failing rhetoric and desperate smears. In your turgid way, you serve to remind everybody else here why your party are so very despised.
Keep flying your grubby little flag, komrade.
There is a letter in the Glasgow Herald saying that if the Home Secretary is going to monitor all of our use of the Web then web usage by MPs on publicly funded connections should be published.

I don’t suppose the incident at the pickles party is the beginning of some kind of coup?

I realise this isn’t the appropriate forum for my query so I shall comment on the story at hand and ask my inappropriate question at the end of my comment. It’s obvious that MP’s of all persuasions don’t take their obligation to minimise the taxpayers expenditure on items such as pretend homes, unneccessary travel, porn for lonely partners etc. seriously enough. I’m with Guido, there is no decent argument against 100% transparency, it is after all, our money. Have a website that tracks expenses in realtime MP by MP and they will probably behave more responsibly.
I’m currently in the process of making a documentary about the birth of Rave culture and found this blog whilst trying to track down Tony Colston Hayter. If you, Guido, have contact details for him or would like to be interviewed yourself please just let me know.

As Nick Robinson says – Jacqui Smith is merely a victim of a decadent system that has affected all parties.
“…someone always becomes the symbol of systems that have gone horribly wrong. It is unfortunate for Jacqui Smith that she is that someone.
To many MPs, she’s a likeable working mum who didn’t expect to be elected in ‘97; whose husband agreed to sacrifice his career to make hers possible; who works such long hours that she spends more days away from her family than with it and who knows that she’s on course to lose her very marginal seat and thus, her job, income and allowances, at the next election. ”

You mean the report on the latest Tory policy he’s just stolen in a knee-jerk reaction to the latest sleaze crisis his useless MPs have caused.
Prescott shagging his secretary, batman! What a story!
I think you will find the correct adjectives to use here are “kneejerk” and “reactive”. Still, can hardly blame you after twelve years of educashun, educashun, educashun.
Excuse me?
Not just wrong, but an asshole too.
You must be a Labour supporter.
Sir, how dare you
Well, you know, “Sorry,” and all that, but I didn’t ’specially like what you said about the dimensions of my verbal prowess.
Really, I did not mean to call you a Labour supporter. In the heat of the moment I just went too far.
Oh, the regret.
No worries, some misunderstanding here. I was commenting on post #66 but it inadvertantly clocked against your reply. Having re-read your post I fully understand why the insult inferred – none intended!
Substitute the phrase “Gordon Brown’s mature, statesmanlike etc..” in #66 for “kneejerk & reactive” , well you get my drift.
Oh,the cock-up ;)
Sorry, that was me #107…..late night

Ah. *Penny drops*
Sorry folks :)

Sorry.

The timing tonight – 23.00 just seems too good other than to be a counter-spin story. Murdoch press?
Of course, it’s clearly easier than arresting opposition politicians ;-)
You can say that again.
Because in Brown’s case it’s always better to apologise (well ahem maybe not, sage advice there Mr B) than to be caught?
All the little lefties are out in force tonight. Has Jacqui Smith forbidden them all wanking rights?
Tough on lefty wankers, tough … e.t.c.

Just heard it on the BBC midnight news, they are now referring to the films as porn films, took them a while. I wonder how long it will be till the media are using the titles ‘Raw Meat 3′ and ‘By Special Request’.

I’ve managed to get my last two comments deleted from Toilets Maguire’s blog.

Right across the entire online left press in the UK these days, they spend more time censoring dissent than producing decent material.
Telling, in many ways.
Keep at it!
including the BBCs on line comments:
A post is put up, inviting comments. The initial timeing of this post seems (“strangley”) to be know only to left wing commentators, a large number of which are made immediately after the posting and then “moderated” almost immediately.
The moderator then disappears off for a long cup of tea/lunch leaving all the later, balanced & right-wing posts stuck in the limbo of the system. Somehow these only get moderated much, much later if at all. By which time the readership has moved on.
The censoring is in the timeing at the BBC.
Too right, Tone.
BBC = worst offenders.

You just don’t get it do you? This Government is despised, loathed and has no integrity left. Prattling on about the ‘War on Terror’ is pathetic – this country endured worse when the IRA were killing innocents by the bucket-load and yet no assault on our civil liberties was made.
This shower, this effluent that is Zanulabour will go down as the worst of all, and I truly think that you will never get into office again.
First up, Thank you Guido for putting this up, I haven’t the time to dig myself so your site is always the first I come to. And this is what I’ve been waiting for, total proof that their all incompetent, or worse, crooked.
Now, isn’t there one policeman willing to take this case on? Unlike most fraud cases, all those involved have kept the reciepts, so surely the justification is there for an investigation. House rules may not have been broken but the Law has and its my understanding that no-one is above the Law. Money by deception (6-14years), Fraud (7years) and genocide (life / hanging).
I like the genocide (life / hanging) charge.
Well I still want to know why I am paying for Hazel Blears husbands train fares. So Draper, Blears anybody, if you read this please give me an answer.
Where is the coverage/commentary and fucking anger at the news the MPs will be redacting their expenses prior to publication ? FFS !!!! The excuse is to “hide credit card details” – or “it might show addresses”
Well give them to an independent third party and they can take out that stuff (I am sure KPMG or similar would do the job) – but there is no fucking way it is right for the MPs to take the black pen to the data !!!!
[...] been dealt a further humiliation by rumours that the full, unedited list of MPs expenses has been stolen by data thieves and is being offered for sale to the highest media [...]
It is always pleasing to be able to stick the boot into Michael White and Polly Toynbee. These two, upstanding members of the community, well, when they’re in this country, and when they’re not being the arrogant and patronising selves are upholders of all that is true for New Stassi. Alternatively known as media as false truth. Both are experts at denying the obvious and supporting the status quo – they’re not even radical anymore.
White has taken a beating – thoroughly deserved – about his comments on Dan Hannan and the public reaction to him. Toynbee is now suffering the same fate over comments about Jacqui Smith. Apparently, the infamously dire Ms Smith is suffering from a bout of puritanism from the electorate. So there we have it. What is it that she doesn’t understand?
White and Toynbee, past their prime and lost in a world of their own. Time to retire and enjoy your ill-gotten gains.

I was incensed by your comments on Five Live this morning:
“right-wing blogger” — statement of fact;
“left-wing BBC” — your opinion stated as if it was fact.
Much as I may not like Nicky Campbell, I think he had every right to sarcastically retort that you were a facist. And your reaction to it suggested to me that you had totally missed the point which he had cleverly made in saying that, namely that no-one likes to have unsubstantiated opinions passed on them in a way that sounds like statement of fact.
I’m not sure if it’s possible to libel an organisation rather than a person, but if it is, I think your comment about the BBC might well have been libellous, whereas I don’t really see how you can argue that Campbell’s introduction of you was anything other than factual?
So really, I think YOU should be going back onto the BBC to publicly apologise for your “left-wing” jibe. I think it is disgraceful that you made Mr Campbell apologise.
More generally, I was disgusted with your comment that the BBC is left-wing. The whole point of the BBC is that it is independant; scrupulously, even sometimes boringly independant and balanced in my view. And my own opinion, for what it’s worth, is that, if anything, some of the INDIVIDUALS I see and hear on the BBC have a personal RIGHT-wing bias. But what would I know, I’m not a right-wing blogger?
Hello Richard, I wanted to work for the BBC so I got the Daily Telegraph every Thursday to read the Jobs section. I looked and I looked every week but there weren’t any jobs advertised for the BBC.
Then a friend told me all the BBC jobs were advertised in a left wing paper called “The Guardian”. I asked my friend why this was, and she said, “Maybe the BBC only wants to attract left wing people”.
there is no excuse for calling guido (or any respectable person) a facist. Sarcastic or not. The apology was correct.
well, you’re easily pleased then aren’t you?
and you’ve got your ears the wrong way round!
Richard, I wanted a job with the BBC, so every Thursday I would get the jobs section of the Daily Telegraph and scour the pages. Week after week I would look but nothing was there. Then a friend of mine suggested I get The Guardian. Blimey! loads of jobs in the Beeb!
I asked my friend why this was and she said “Maybe they want to attract candidates with a particular political leaning!”
Faux righteous outrage, up yours
You are correct that the BBC is not left wing. The very notion that any of them would have sufficient backbone to demonstrate support for any political ideology is laughable.
What’s a facist? Someone with a face?
Or a politician, with two?
(Hint for the terminally confused – fascist is a 7-letter word)
Incensed on behalf of the poor neutral souls at AlJaBeeba. Very convincing.
Get a grip, chum. Even the BBC admit an institutional left-liberal bias. They are predominantly champagne socialists in the Toynbee cast. BBC news output is laughably pro-guvverment.
So shove your righteous indignation up your arse.
“The whole point of the BBC is that it is independant; scrupulously, even sometimes boringly independant and balanced in my view.”
Key phrase here: “in my view”. And your view matters no more than the views of the rest of us, so trot along and work on your spelling.
You want my details. You want to put them on a big database. You want my child’s details for a database. You want my criminal record on a datbase and you want my medical history on a database. Now you’re pondering having my phonecalls, emails and websites on a big database. There are good reasons for this. My child will be protected, other people’s children will be protected, I’ll be protected. I am not to worry because it will be secure.
And you can’t even keep your own expense claims to yourself.
In other news Plotloss Toynbee attempts perhaps the worst attempt to shift the blame since Judge Pickles.
they aslso want your music and video collection on a database
I like the way the main news is about the ‘mole’ and hunting them down rather than the very fact of MP’s ligging the high life and not living by the very rules they set for us.
Double standards run amok.

Remembrance day wreath expense.
I think pound for pound, the £16.50 claimed back by Brian Gibbons, the Labour Minister for Social Justice and Local Government, apparently for a remembrance day wreath, could end up costing Labour more votes than Jacqui.

Related to this, just fisked Polly Toynbee’s latest comment piece attempting to defend MPs here if anyone’s interested.

Has anyone got a pic of Jacqui Smith’s backside, I can’t wait to see if she’s growing a tail.
Can’t get it in the frame without a wide-angle lens.
Bring back family values to the financial system…………after all Jacqui’s family videos are a private matter!
The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner, another Jocky from his name and certainly a stooge, is on tv bigging up the security reasons for not publishing MPs’ expense details.
Total BS probably, but it shows just how much he can be expected to be inquisitive!
