Deconstructing the Downing Street Spin
Downing Street is trying to downplay this as a “blog story” knowing that journalists and the public won’t be so interested in another online spat.
That attempt to spin the story away has failed, because everyone realises that it is in reality a story from the heart of Downing Street.
Downing Street’s press office has been trying to get prominent Labour supporting bloggers into the studios to do rebuttal. So far they have been unable to find someone credible to defend the indefensible. It is also Downing Street that is quite deliberately hyping the Derek Draper angle – clearly he is disposable – but it cannot be emphasised enough that he is not the only recipent of these smears ideas. Other well known spin doctors from the Brown camp are involved.
They have two objectives – to keep Gordon out of the story and save Tom Watson MP. It is probably already too late for Damian. Where is the Minister for Digital Engagement today? What was his exact role in the smear operation? He is referred to in Damian McBride’s emails, he sits next to McPoison in Downing Street, and he of course is notorious for his use of the dark arts. He also was involved with Sion Simon in a previous cringe making online attack video on Cameron that backfired badly – he has previous.
The smears are not of the usual rough and tumble of politics – they are obscene and sexually explicit – Guido spoke to Nadine Dorries MP last night, she told Guido that she will be consulting lawyers on Tuesday. Can the Prime Minister’s official Political and Press Adviser, a civil servant, survive losing a case for defamation to an opposition MP?
If Gordon Brown keeps Damian McPoison in place, he is condoning his behaviour, again. Where have they hidden Gordon’s moral compass? It certainly isn’t anywhere to be seen in Downing Street.
Charles Clarke has called for McBride to be sacked….
This is so good…
Well done, again, Mr Fawkes!!!
May I draw readers attention to this PR photo-op of Gordon in his media bunker?
It appears to have Mr McBride sitting right behind him.
But of course, the Prime Minister knows nothing about this [repeat]
Mr Dale also posted about exactly this story on the day that Red Flag was created http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2008/11/is-labour-about-to-launch-cyber-war.html.
How apt.
………he’s behind you……………….
“There is no doubt these were silly juvenile ideas but that is all they were, juicy email evidence or not” -
Dolly Droopy is on his listing badly website
http://www.labourlist.org/derek-draper-emails
“Let’s not forget that the reason we are being attacked in the first place is because of the fact that we criticised the racist comments on one of these sites. And, incidentally, they are furious that my friend in Downing Street emailed me about that too, calling my attention to it, but I am glad that he did.”
“I completely deny that Damien McBride has ever blah, blah, blah”
Oh dear Derek.
Once a rat faced oily whelk of a weasel, always a rat faced oily whelk of a weasel eh?
Guilty as charged M’Lord.
Oh not the old ‘Racism’ tag again! You just weary of it don’t you.
One of the last refuges of the scoundrel.
Dolly is spinning like a top over at LabourPist. As my comment will never make it through moderation, I take the liberty of posting it here:
Time to wade in boys and girls…
_____
Oh dear Derek…
The ‘mate’, ‘one of them’ and ‘my Downing Street friend’ in question is none other than Damian McBride, who as you well know is a civil servant paid at the public expense and bound by the civil service code of conduct.
He used a government email address to pass to you ideas for stories to embarrass Tory MPs. Please explain how that is appropriate behaviour for a civil servant?
What’s more, I understand that it wasn’t simply a bit of knock about between you and McBride. Others were involved. Will anyone be shocked if Tom Watson’s name appears on the distribution list of the emails when they are published?
Carry on dreaming Derek. The spin doesn’t work anymore.
_____
yes, well done sir!
and may I add that I have,always strictly adhered to the golden rule: if one is going to publish statements that could be construed to be libellous then one had better get ones fucking facts straight.
gordon brown’s government is too imbecilic, dishonourable and weak to rule.
all that is holding it together are foul mouthed spastics like ‘war crime’ campbell, damian ‘I am an alcoholic’ mcbride, jackie ‘tit wank ‘ smith, peter ‘EU bought and paid’ mandelson, jack ‘the communist’ straw and ofcourse the pair of jokers and allowance fraudsters, alistair ‘benefit cheat’ darling and geoff ‘ it is true, I am a complete and utter Huhne’ hoon.
what a shower of shit.
Here comes a hung parliament – thank God!
and here endeth the lesson.
Gordon’s moral compass? I suspect that is placed on a North bound member of whoever is his latest favourite. What a way to run a Nation. Oh, right, they don’t do they?
I think the moral compass was stolen from Downing Street on Gordon’s first day as Prime Minister by Derek Draper. He had no idea what it was or how to use it so he gave it to Kate who put it in her knicker drawer. From here it was stolen by Anton who was rummaging through the contents and he later sold it on ebay for £3.97.
The buyer later discovered it didn’t work anyway as it was a Gaydar detector designed for use in the seedy bars of Martha’s Vineyard.
LOL!!!!
It went as soon as Nulab were elected. Tony “messiah” Blair is as mad as a brush and wouldn’t know right from wrong if it punched him hard in the face. if only….
right = Good for Tony.
I thought everyone understood that!
Everybody know Gordons compass points SELF
Labour filth – lower than the lowest.
Tax payers funding scum.
Even Charlie Clarke stating the McBride bringing shame to the Labour Party.
Roll on 3rd June 2010 or sooner.
Well done Guido for exposing these Hoon’s.
Even the average zanu-sheep are disgusted to realize how far they have travelled.
As for Charles Clarke’s comments, they’ll be thinking about just 3 things:
Distance
Distance
Distance
Where’s Herman Goering Pride and the assorted Rebuttal Bot Trolls?
It’s a weekend after a bank holiday. Their not paid for working outside hours.
Being recalled from the Easter Hols for a massive damage limitation exercise tonight !!!!
Could someone please explain this “Hoons” business? Is it to do with Geoff Hoon?
I am not sure, but I think it may be to do with the RT honarable Geoff Hoon being a complete and utter Huhne?
C U Next Tuesday
It originated on the ARRSE website when he was Secretary of State for Defence.
He was so popular and respected that he was referred to as TCH,
T=The
C=cant, low, vulgar term for female genitalia
H=Hoon
Blog comments here are now electronically managed to reduce the amount of foul filth. So you may write Huhne but not spell it with a “c” for if you do it becomes “hoon” which of course is even more explicit and filthy – gottit?
Go Guido…and Nadine and anyone else mentioned in the mails. Screw the bastards right down.
litigate – and do the mutha’s
We want blood on the floor and squealing nulab piggies ripped from the trough.
We want brown linked to this in an undeniable way.
Xmas has come early this year.
I never knew Brown had a moral compass.
It spins continuously.
Guido needs no introduction ….
Interestingly although all the other newspapers introduce Guido in various forms (see below) The Guardian feel no need to introduce Guido – the left wing scum know and fear you.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/global/blog/2009/apr/11/damian-mcbride-apology-leaked-emails-smear-campaign
SKY => “hostile towards the Government and the Labour Party in general”.
TIMES => “a right-wing political blogger”.
TORYGRAPH => “one of Britain’s most controversial political bloggers”.
MAIL => “one of Britain’s most controversial political bloggers” & “hostile to the Government”.
Guido is an anti-statist, not really right wing.
Interesting that Guido is the only site not given a link or a URL…
Doh! Link later on in article, after labourlout gets a plug first.
Moral compass? Up his arse, that’s where it is
Surely O’Donnell as Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Home Civil Service has to act here given that Mc Bride has a civil service and not party appointment.If he has any strength at all he must have him suspended immediately pending a disciplinary investigation.I don’t hold my breath.
McBride must be part of the uncivil service. But if no action is taken against him, then the contagion that is ZaNuLabour has spread further into the Civil Service.
The Tories must calmly and clearly set out their proposals for healing Britain’s broken political system.
McBroon’s moral compass got washed overboard years back….
so he was keeping it in his trouser pocket eh?
I bet its still hanging round the neck of that rocking horse.
joe – what is all this about a rocking horse, I keep reading comments about it on this site, what does it mean ?
@simon r – there are many rumours of Gordon Brown’s strange sexual penchants. One of the rumours is that, somewhere, probably in Mandy’s back pocket, there are photos of Gordon, wearing only a nappy and, I think, a stetson & sitting on a rocking.
A whiff of Watergate here.
If only!!
Guido as the Bernstein and Woodward de nos jours? Undoubtedly but who is the ‘Deep Throat’ this time?
Perhaps Jacqui Smith’s husband would know?
Is no one else really keen to see the content of the smears?
The best thing that can happen is that the smears come out in full. Ma’learned friends can then start the £ meter running and we can all relax and watch as the political class begin to tear the crap out of each other (Mr Oaten should especially enjoy that). The whole thing becomes really explosive if the smear campaign can be found to have Mcbust’s grubby finger prints on it. He could then be looked upon as being a tragic and cooked Nixonian figure with alot more dirt waiting to be uncovered.
Dolly has posted his spin/denial/gibberish on labourlosingitbigtime…
http://www.labourlist.org/derek-draper-emails
Enjoy!
LOL.
They must be desperate if they are playing the ‘I was only joking’ card so early on.
ZaNuLab and ideas – ideas for troughing and claiming for the refurbhishment of two homes and more b*t* plugs.
Just read Dolly’s pathetic attempt at a justification. In the words of Balls, so weak. Bye bye Dolly, don’t let the door bash your arse on the way out.
How sad …. tee hee …. hahahahahahahahahahaha
This is turning into a great Bank Holiday – doesn’t even bother me that it’s raining – I’m singing.
Move along its all just “silly juvenile ideas”!
AJC
Sky are reporting on this now.
So is Mr McBride Derek’s Downing St friend or not?
If he is then he lied, if he isn’t then who is his little playmate?
If somebody spoke to you in the way Dolly communicates with his reader, you’d burst their face for insulting your intelligence. No wonder they’re fucked.
We were only joking, oh yeah. Bet they said that about using those Bullingdon photos too….
But I thought Draper denied receiving any such E Mails when Guido put the allegatiion to him on the “Daily Politics Show” ?- in which case his argument is a bit suspect – incidentally Iain Dale states on his Blog that he ran into Draper in Dean’s Yard – after the programme and that Draper attempted a “rapprochment” which Dale rebutted because of these E Mails – Draper than apparently categorically denied to Dale to his face that he had received any such E Mails or indeed they existed at all ! Curiouser and Curiouser !!!
http://iaindale.blogspot.com/
And you’d really believe anything that came out of Derek Draper’s mouth? Oh you innocent young thing. ‘Born to lie’ – that’s DD.
“Imagine if all your emails suddenly became available to people wanting to damage you…”
Labour passed a law last week that enables them to do just that
The IRONY.
And `Dave` will make sure it stays in place!
Taxi for `Dave`,
Daniel Hannan sir, this way if you would, the keys to number 10 right here sir, time to clean house I’d say.
“I am actually on holiday but I’ve taken an hour out to hit the keyboard and explain”
Well, thank fuck for that.
Looks to me like Draper’s agreed to be the fall guy, given the feebleness of his argument: “I regret having had the original idea even if it didn’t go anywhere, but doesn’t what’s happened show the nature of these right wing blogs?”
Indeed it does. And that’s a good thing.
He’ll fuck up being a fall guy…..useless Huhne.
Aye! Yon Guido put hi’ finga’ o’ tha’ button, – thus tarm!
Jus’ hav’ ta’ poke my wee stick up Dollybotty’s arse a little harda’ don’ ye ken!
Mind ye, nuthen’s’ ma fult ye understand!
[translation : as many readers have found out, I am, at heart, a despicable, low, little prick. Incapable of masterminding or accomplishing anything myself, when subterfuge, bullshit, and bombastic words fail, I resort to mean strategies such as would please Goebbels and his buddies. Or Mr Mugabby or me old mucker, Kim.
But Guido has rumbled me. I thought I was cleverer. Oh well, – win some lose some, or never (as in the case of elections) have them to start with !
It’s best of course when people can do my dirty work from a distance. For instance, an empty headed civil servant. Then I can, as I’m doing now, wash my hands of the whole affair.
Anyway, I’ll have to encourage Drippingarse to get my finger out of his botty and shove a squib up there. He’s gotta do much better, – or worse – if you know what I mean (there, I’ve made a joke).
Mind you, nothing is my fault, – and everything started in America.
Guido – have you got a copy of the smear email? I think it should receive the full glare of public scrutiny.
Well done on being so prescient. Labour’s smear campaign started a few months earlier than you predicted..
Brown is implicated up to his tiny, grubby little neck and I doubt not that his moral compass, if he ever had one, is located in some physically impossible location where it cannot ever see the light of day.
Well done the whistleblower – clearly the civil service feel most uneasy about this fundamental erosion of the independence of their estate – as the police must also be pondering after the recent resignation of Knacker of the Yard.
It is absolutely disgraceful that Downing Street contemplated anything of this kind after Cameron’s recent bereavement. So much for Gordon’s heartfelt words of sympathy. Filthy, unprincipled hypocrite.
This government is in meltdown.
Show us the email Guido. Let public outrage commence.
Publish..
It seems to me that nulabour will stop at nothing to try and retain power.
Anyone want to buy my granny?
No doubt the Nu Labour luvvies Andrews Marr and Neil, will even now be being given their ‘inside story’ (or line to take) by McBride & Co.
I’d trust a copper with a batton in riot gear more than I’d trust this lot.
Move along quickly please… do you want me to help you?
Draper says: “Was criminal activity and hacking involved? Believe me, these are issues I will be looking at when I return from my holiday. “Blog wars” are one thing but hacking into people’s emails is surely a step too far?”
“Believe me!!”…Draper’s so concerned about this so called security breach it can till his holiday is over (and the fuss has died down, and he can forget to trouble the old bill}. Doesn’t sound like someone who is too fussed about how the email’s got into guido’s hands.
The Formergraph ran it as an IT security story, too. Funny, that.
Good-job the government haven’t just started reading everyone in this countries emails.
What about the security breach when that hooker was hanging half naked over Griffiths’ computer with a flash drive down her knickers.
Relax everyone, Drooper has explained everything on Iain Dales blog. Phew, for few hours I thought that there was going to be a story that was going to run and run.
McMental’s Moral Compass is a shared one with Robert Mugabe, Zanu with Zanu!!
Emily Thornberry on Sky spouting that all lads and childish adn all your fault Guido for being rude about her weight. Spinning wildly about young men thinking it’s clever and funny (two things she’s obviously not)
http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2009/04/maddie-what-lies-benneath-truth-trailer.html
That was a lamentable and pathetic attempt at rebuttal from Thornberry. They are wriggling like worms on a fish-hook. Bloody marvellous.
Thornberry is a slug and a thoroughly lazy MP – check out her record.
Liebour the NeoNazty party
Guido, you are a Superhero of the Universe.
Bravo
Have fund resetting Dolly’s password…
http://aredrag.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
“ragrouge”
Only comment in the Red Rag web site was on 4th November 2008 so Dolly had plenty of time to reflect on his silly juvenile idea.
Mr Fawkes, if you have copies of the offending email smear conspiracies, I think it would be in the public interest for you to publish them immediately.
Not necessarily – the disadvantage of not having published greater detail thus far is that it has allowed McBride to launch his Telegraph spoiler. But the advantage may well be that it has feinted No10 into doing a “Met Police” – ie rushing out a version of events that subsequently shows them to be doubly damned for both the original offence and then lying further about it. Eg, as Guido states, their claim that it was only McBride amongst the Bunker garrison who had the little moment of madness/juvenalia…
…. on the Red Rag web site
McBride & Dolly = NuLiebore’s very own Wossie & Brand!
Andrew Sachs too old to play Guido in the movie? Pint of Grecian 2000 and some padding and Manuel might just pull it off…
Presumably Mr Brown has fled to the bunker now that shit and fan have collided once more. What was his book called again?
the courage of other people.
“Ach ye dunderheid – I tellt ye tae use Scottish Bluemail!”
First class stuff Guido. I’ll be up to contributing to any fighting fund too, should you need it.
I think we’ll all be glad to contribute..
“First class stuff Guido. I’ll be up to contributing to any fighting fund too, should you need it.”
Seconded.
In my small meagre way yes.
I think Guido’s leaving the publishing to the Sunday papers, where they’ll get a bigger splash, i.e. he doesn’t want to steal their thunder, and hence their impact.
I have been reading this blog for a couple of months now and, quite frankly am astounded by the relevations of Guido, together with the sometimes responses of wonderful wit. To be honest, on occasions, I’ve had tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks.
I’m your typical Joe of average interlect (or maybe below), nevertheless I feel somewhat frightened about the future prospects of my grandchildren in this increasingly sorry country. Are there any moral and honest politicians who govern us? I now have serious doubts.
I am not saying that the great majority do not want to improve the public’s lives, but, I am bound to ask are their efforts purely for our benefit anymore? Perhaps it never was.
I do not wish to join the `sheeple` but I should like some advice regarding who on hell I should vote for next time a general election is called, because it seems to me that they (the politicians) are all out to enrich themselves with a few exceptions of course.
Thanks for reading.
Eric.
Hi Eric,
your story is more common that you know. I think the main prescription anyone around these parts can offer in good conscience is simply – vote for anyone other than LibLabCon.
Dear Eric, You are not alone my friend. There are millions of hard working families up and down this nation who are scared witless about the prospects for their children and there are singles and couples who care for their friends children or their relatives too, I say. Most of us are big enough to be shoved around but the worry is : who will defend our children? Keep it up Guido. Thank you.
If there is agood LD candidate in your constintuency, vote for them.
Otherwise vote for anyone but Labour. Even vote Tory if it’ll help kick Brown and his cohort of lying thieves out
Would that be the LDs who lied about the constitreaty and took the public for fools?
Who on earth would vote for people like that?
Go wash your mouth out with soap Mr Oaten!
It is not an ideal solution and I do not relish the idea myself, but the least worst choice is to vote Conservative. The first priority is to get rid of the Neo-Nazis who really do threaten our childrens future with much sinister stuff already perpetrated and more sinister stuff planned. If you vote for anyone other than Tory it may be a wasted vote.
I cannot imagine children growing up with a view of their country formed only from Labour lies and bigotry, who have never known the good-humoured tolerance, sense of fair play, freedom and irreverence for authority of the old English, who have not experienced England before the EUSSR and before the long shadow of Blair and Brown darkened the land. If Labour get in again they will grow up in a bleak urban forest of CCTV and windfarms, of racial no-go areas pretending as multiculturalism, in an atmosphere of paranoia, spied on by a multitude of bossy government agencies and their own neighbours, expected to spy on their own parents, and having to be careful what they think or say or dream.
Labour created the myth of something that needed to be changed. They created “victims” where there were none. They despised our history, culture and heritage. They destroyed something which wasn’t perfect but wasn’t that bad and replaced it with something that is quite simply horrible. Then they try and make us join in their Big Lie that it is better.
GUIDOGATE!
What are the smears ? can only presume they are not being shown on a no smoke without fire basis – It’ll be like the Portaloo/Lilley dirty dozen story – all true but came out wrong and screeched down by the guiltest “men”
Here we go.
Keep up the smears, Dolly.
Huhnes like you never learn, do they?
Guido you were the lead story on Pravda at 3pm with a massive “Ad” for order-order! Top stuff. Sunday papers & net are going to be wonderful!
Gordon Brown’s moral compass was demagentised long ago. Anyone who is a Socialist or a Marxist must have theirs demagnetised too or to place said compass in a little lead-lined box when they spout their ideology.
100 million people murdered by Marxism is but a small problem…
Remember:
Socialism = Envy + Projection + Narcissism.
It’s strange how a regular injection of other peoples cash can shut the fuckers up, ie, Adams and McGuiness et al.
Marxisn never killed anyone boy Stalinism plenty but a spit in the bucket compared with capitalisms daily thirst for blood.
Anticitizen one,
Almost but not quite. Your equation should read;
Narcissism (Envy+projection) = Socialism
Remember, the only Marxist worth being is a Groucho Marxist.
Stalinism, pol potism, maoism, Lenninism what do they have in common other than mass murder?
COMMUNISM and the end of democracy as per EUSSRism!
Top story on BBC website now – oh dear me, what a carry on.
Wonder what changed their editorial stance?!?!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/
The trough has tipped over so the pigs are eating each other
You really must make sure that Dolly gets frequent updates on your traffic stats. Just the thing to make his holiday swing….
The story is even on Classic FM hahahahaha.
Come on man show us the email It can’t be any worse than the stuff about Major and that drag act Currie!
Too right there is no story till we see the email
“I looked at the emails, but I didn’t inhale.”
” I read the emails but can’t remember much about them “
” It is not against the rules so I read the emails. I am mortified. “
” I read the emails in my first home then popped next door to show them to my Mum in my second home “
“i looked at the emails and could not see fuckall
Shut up or I will put the hood back over your head and give you another kicking!
He should give us the emails once the papers have gone to press. Don’t want the Labour goblins a chance to start spinning the story do we? No doubt every front page has been leaked to them already though.
All Labour need say is we considered using this stuff but didn’t it’s all too horrible and we shouldn’t give it air. The Torys need to get set to howl it down and It must be good or the press wouldn’t be sitting on it
If the occupants of the bunker know which papers are going to publish the details, the Geheimstatzpolizei will move in and stop the presses
Not quite with you the “Labour create smear” story is loose it’s those outed by the smear who need help from the GESTAPO
What I’m saying is that if nobody gets to see the details of the emails published by a reputable source then the story will die a natural death. One way of ensuring this is to block publication.
See me on’t telly didya? . . . didya?
Prezza tort me orl oi kno ’bout bein’ on’t ‘telly’
Ee’s a one tho’ inee? ! Phworhh!!
Good how liebore name there smearblog site after a sanitry towel.
What’s so bad about the e-mail? How can anything that a person says rise to the supposed level of outrage that McBride’s opponents are pretending to display.
Get real, and get a life.
It’s email. Nobody was hurt.
It’s like someone on a blog called you a naive, dopey, sheepshagging son a of mutha fucker, just to smear you.
Oh dear, I just did.
Shem_Pride
Many thanks for your recent contribution I appreciate you gave it your best shot.
I can only assume that you also believe the same applies to the recent fuss made by Labourlist regarding alleged racism on both this and Iain Dales internet sites. All a big fuss over comments which cant hurt anyone.
Before making any further posts please contact the Labour Rebuttal unit in order that a coordinated strategy can be put in place to prevent the Labour Party digging itself into an even bigger hole then its already in.
Emails are a written medium; lies = defamation.E-mail lies = libel.Get it now Sherm, or did you go to a bog standard comprehensive?
Guido spoke to Nadine Dorries.
Nadine Dorries?! That crazy baggage knows a few things about dishonesty I suppose. Well, if you can judge a man by the company he keeps…
I’d stick to stream of consciousness if I were you.
Mantecanaut_Pride
Thank you for your recent contribution.
Before making any further posts please contact the Labour Rebuttal unit in order that a coordinated strategy can be put in place to prevent the Labour Party digging itself into an even bigger hole then its already in.
Steady on old boy – you don’t need to be a socialist to think Mrs. Dorries is a few shekles short of an arms deal
Sounds as if you’d still do her though.
Well obviously but no doubt she’d insist on concieving
Just left this comment on the Daily Mail site.
Everyone here should leave comments also on whatever online edition they like – the more comments, the more ‘clicks’ to the story the better. The more people that are directed to this site for their political news the better.
“They know that they have lost the arguement on so many issues – crime, immigration, nhs, schools, the economy etc etc.
The New Labour project has been shown up for what it was all along – a sham built on lies, spin and personality ( Blair ) it is now Old Labour – incompetant, wasteful, corrupt, class hating, self serving and fronted by a throwback to the dark days of the 70′s ( Brown ).
All they have left are dirty tricks and lies aided by the BBC.
Their time is coming – may they be out of power for a generation.”
Er isn’t recruiting a fifth column of knuckleheads to try & distort the news priorities of a newspaper, albeit Der Sturmer, something of a dirty trick?
Great work on BBC Guido.

No 10 aide quits in e-mails row
Perhaps it might be time to revisit the “Tory Sleaze” campaign that torpedoed John Major’s government.
According to the guardianlies.com website, there are a lot of unanswered questions.
Isn’t it time that Mr Brown and his tireless bunch of money grabbing conspirators realised that their time is now up and quietly beat a retreat back north of the border and give somebody else a chance?
What another bunch of money grabbing conspirators from Slough?
Fat choice!
Hello Bloggers – I came to this site via google as I had heard on the radio this morning that an email discussing smears about Conservative front benchers had found it’s way from Downing St to an internet site. It seemed to be an interesting story so I thought I would try to find out what the email said to establish if this was a serious piece of bad behaviour coming from the centre of government or a media only story of no importance. As far as I could find out Guido Fawkes had the email and so I came here to see the email – IT IS NOT SHOWN ON THIS SITE. Instead of finding anything out about this story I seem to have fallen into the back bar at a Romford Conservative club at closing time. Lots of noise & spite not very much information. I’m no Tory but I’m no supporter of Labour either. So could I ask someone, anyone to tell me where I can see this email ? I can’t believe all the miles of comment above is totally uninformed so point me at it.
thanks
Go to the News of the World website: they are trailing tomorrow’s edition which, they say, will publish the emails. Once they’ve sold out on the news-stands they’ll presumably put them on line.
Iain Dale’s blog already has some verbatim extracts but not the full works.
You ZaNuLaBor nutters stick out like a poxy penis here, you know.
Same old tired cliches that fool no one.
Just piss off!
The trouble with this site is that it purports to be libertarian and to be on the side of the citizen against big government – and to a degree that’s true – but it attracts people like you foul mouthed ranters who think that any government in this country can be compared with Mugabe’s regime. That sort of rhetoric, not even the most feeble minded zealot believes it, debases the whole discussion and can only put off people with a genuine interest in politics. Once the site gets a reputation as a trolls whorehouse it will not be taken seriously and we will all loose out. GUIDO YOU NEED TO MODERATE THESE BOARDS or you will get tarred by the subhumans amongst the posters – some of whom must be agent provocateur
Oh, and if you want a real laugh read timesonline then go to Labourlist for Draper’s pathetic try at self-justification.
(I have driven through Romford, I admit, and it’s years since I went to a Conservative club, by the way, and only as a guest.)
i thought guido and oldhob were libertarians?
please tell me it’s not true they are actually toff backed and show me the emails
The body politic is utterly corrupted. This shamful misuse of the Civil Service has been gathering pace for years. How could anyone in the Labour party imagine it’s a proper use of taxpayers money to fund people engaging in such activities? – or even their own money come to that!
Thanks Snapper for the guardianlies.com link, fascinating stuff. I’ve never believed in Hamilton’s guilt. In my experience people who are guilty don’t fight that hard against all the odds, and in the face of that kind of media storm, to try to refute such libels.
Nothing new here.
McBride will now be replaced by someone exactly the same. They are all the same.
There is something rotten in the heart of Gordon Brown’s Downing Street, and it has infected places like Oxfam’s HQ in Oxford, a Labour hell-hole, which is filled with Draper’s and McBride’s henchmen and wannabe special and media advisers in Brown’s government: Antonia Bance for instance, who is deputy director of the UK Poverty Programme, and is allegedly using Oxfam for her own party political ambitions, if you go by many of the comments on her blog.
Oxfam’s HQ in Oxford, a Labour hell-hole
Explain do??
A Labour cess-pool is probably a better description. I have friends in Oxfam’s Oxford office (a gigantic white elephant of an office off the ring road) who tell me that its a hide-out for New Labour die-hards, most of whom want careers in Gordon Brown’s government (Downing St, Treasury, DFID, FCO), and many of the lucky ones have got them: Justin Forsyth, Brendan Cox, Dianna Melrose, Stephen Doughty, Sarah Kline…it’s a long list. It is this type that welcomed Antonia Bance into their fold, and I hear she spends a lot of time boasting about her connections!
Mr McBride: I did not want the content of my emails or these stories in the public domain – it is because Guido has put them there. wot a pisser McBride,you bet!!!
