Fancy That

Private Eye’s Francis Wheen (of HP Sauce) has some good sources inside Labour circles and has heard some of the stories going around.  When Guido previously mentioned Draper’s widely known financial woes, Dolly launched into one of his charateristic blustering tirades:

Derek Draper Private EyeNeedless to say [Guido's] latest post about me is inaccurate, offensive and libellous… I am clearly not going to get into my personal finances as these are no-one else’s business but the picture [Guido] attempts to paint is patently ridiculous.

You will note there are no names or actual facts just blanket and unspecific insinuations. If he had any actual facts why wouldn’t he publish them?

Guido will be more specific this time.  Private Eye doesn’t report that when Macintyre found out about Draper’s  treachery, he called Dolly “pure f***ing evil”.  Macintyre also complained to friends that it wasn’t just the difficulty of getting Draper to pay back the money he owed – it was that Draper  had enjoyed many an expensive alcohol fuelled lunch with Macintyre, unfortunately invariably at the latter’s expense.

The left-wing New Statesman political correspondent fancies himself as someone with an understanding of economics – he recently had a spat with Fraser Nelson, the Spectator’s number crunching political editor, which was hysterically one sided.   It has taken Macintyre a long time to grasp that there is no such a thing as a free lunch – except for Draper.

      Isn’t this an argument for Draper’s integrity?

      He puts personal loyalties aside, thinking only of the greater good of the Party. Such a selfless gesture reveals his true independence and incorruptibility. If Mandy can be given a second chance in politics I see no reason why Draper shouldn’t. Maybe he could consider running as MP in 2010?

    He does leave a bigger wake behind him than the QE2. Or Donald Campbell’s bluebird. I wonder how come Miliband is still on speaking terms with him.

    Are we supposed to feel sorry for MacIntyre? More disturbing is Ed Miliband asking Draper for recruitment advice. Just when you think they couldn’t get any lower Labour manage to sink to record depths.

    “Milliband asked Dolly’s opinion”.

    On a scale of errors of judgement, that must put the millipede on a par with Captain Edward John Smith, or possible the producers of Heaven’s Gate or Ishtar.

    You should be very careful about slurring Draper over his qualifications. He states on his website that he is experienced in working with Children and advertises those services.

    To do such he would have had to have a full Basic Criminal Records Check. This would have checked his qualifications.

    He would certainly not risk breaking the law by lying or not getting a CRC check as the exemptions are quite clearly listed on the website.

      The fact that Draper may have had a criminal records check does not confirm that he has any qualifications whatsoever in psychotherapy or anything else.

      All that a criminal records check confirms is whether someone has criminal convictions or not.

Dolly is an unremittingly nasty piece of work and I’m beginning to wonder why you still spend time trying to demolish him when he’s already done and dusted. It’s only engaging with you that gives him any credibility in the blogosphere. Even I’ve been over to LabourList once or twice to see what all the fuss is about.

    There will be safe Labour seats, won’t there?

    Also, it was cloudy today in England. I thought Obama was going to fix that?

    And where are these tens of thousands of anti capitalists?

    4,000 yesterday & a few hundred today does not sound like the grassroots common man movement that the BBC have been touting for months, all whilst trying to re-invent McMental as a “global leader”.

    He’s planned another meeting for later this year, Gordon clearly desperate to keep the “global saviour” narrative in the public mind coming up to the general election.

      Would that be the Italian G8 meeting? Not wishing to be outdone, the eyeties (sorry, Derek, is that racist?) are making desperate efforts not to be upstaged so it’s now a free-for-all and being touted as on a par with this G20 at the Excel. Isn’t it good to know our livelihoods are in the hands of these feckin’ disgraceful muppets?

      McBust has just promised another trillion of our money, which we don’t have, to fund all this lot, which he hopes to get back via the IMF. So whatever debt you thought your kid was in, double it.

    SELL IMF GOLD !!!!!!!!!! The last time he tried that worked really well..

    “The world’s gold is being sold to help the poor..”

    If only it was going to help them..

    But if it makes us even more beholden to the fractional reserve banking system, then THEY will have us by the balls which is surely the point..

    I had a bog ripped out of a Ma Beast property this afternoon by an old school plumber
    NOW THIS IS FUCKING TRUE
    I believe him, he is a top chap
    He told me that he had done work for Prime Mentalist McQueen on many occassions and the utter Hoon used to call him and say
    “Hullo , This Is Gordon Brown MP”
    M fucking P?
    How insecure do you have to be to announce that you are an MP when telephoning your plumber”?
    The Beast is holding his balls in his hands telling you that this is TRUE.
    What a pathetic little Hoon McMental is.
    Said plumber is fucking off to Brazil with his Brazillian wife and son next year, I dont fucking blame him.

    Hardly loony,

    He has just announced that he is selling the worlds assetts to the global elite private bankers and then borrowing enough money from the same people – seeing as we now have none – to enslave us and our children and our childrens children in the shackles of never ending interest payments – - -
    To the NWO, the end of meaninfull managable democracy and ID cards, abused terror laws, such as no photo evidence of your abuse permited, death camps, for those who resist.

    Think I’m kidding, this is decades in the making.

    They were happy with just the money and the hidden hand, now it’s comming to the surface – Godon and all the other international banker puppets are getting so excited at the prospect that they can’t help but screem New World Order from every orifice they can find. None of them want to be dropped as a naughty boy before the prizes are handed out.

    Don’t believe me? ask yourself this simple question -

    WHO IS GETTING RICH OF THIS?

    You and your children have just been bought and sold.

    johnfromcamberley says:

    Draper has a sort of vigorous fake credibility that scores pretty well in the rarified world of broadcasting. Guido’s vilification of him adds to that, turning him into a minor hero. On the other hand, with the public at large, I suspect he is seen as dirtying, both literally and metaphorically, everything he touches.

    My conclusion is to say “press on”. Keep on feeding out little stories about him, maintain the impression of him held by the broadcasters, and make the revolting self-mobile tic-farm appear on the TV more and more. Each time he talks, each time he associates himself with Labour, a few more of their voters are put off and the repellant Brown is shoved a few further inches towards where he should be – the dustbin of history.

    A well-timed coup-de-grace will finish him publicly, and more than a few faecal flecks of his destruction will rightly attach themselves to Brown at, for him, the worst possible moment.
