McBride Spinning for His Career
Damian McBride is desperately trying to throw a smokescreen up tonight with a planted frontpage story in the Telegraph which downplays what he has been up to. Andrew Porter, the Telegraph’s lobby correspondent, is Damian McBride’s regular drinking companion and tame mouthpiece, so it is no surprise whatsoever to Guido that the Telegraph is being used by Downing Street for damage limitation.
The Telegraph implies that Guido has sold the story to the Sunday newspapers – that is completely untrue – Downing Street tried that same line against the Home Office whistleblower. They are also trying to make out that the story is just about Damian McBride sending gossipy emails to his pal Derek Draper. Utter lies.
Damian McBride did however in fact write the LabourList article for Draper to use to smear Guido and he also did the same for smears against Iain Dale. Draper merely cut and pasted them on to his “independent” site. That is just a relatively minor aspect of the bigger story, but it is how Guido came to learn more of the full story. The Telegraph doesn’t have a fraction of the facts – laughably they don’t even name McBride in their story - they really should have given him the byline.
Downing Street under Gordon Brown has been particularly vicious in smearing opponents. Other well known Labour insiders besides Damian McBride – including a government minister – are involved in the operation. Guido has hard evidence that Tory MPs have been smeared, and that a particularly vicious concerted smear operation was mounted against George Osborne, smears that Damian McBride – a civil servant – knows and admits in writing are untrue, yet he was still instrumental in spreading. Some well known lobby journalists have knowingly gone along with it. This is a lot bigger than some minor bloggers spat.
Downing Street are deliberately trying to make out that this is just another round in the Draper v Guido battle – that is why the Telegraph have slanted their story in the way they have. It isn’t. It is about a poisonous long term smear operation based in the heart of Downing Street and run by the prime minister’s press and political adviser, Damian McBride. Names will be named and shamed…
+++ Developing +++
UPDATE : The BBC have an anonymous Downing Street source claiming that no-one else in Downing Street besides Damian knew about all this – simply not true and contradicted by the evidence.
Well done Guido!
Keep up the good work.
I really hope they don’t get you before the next election.
Be careful out there, especially near protests.
Yes, Guido, don’t go for any long lonely walks in the woods. Don’t drive your car through any tunnels. If I can think of any more advice, I’ll post another comment later.

Check out who is sitting right behind him.
And Gordon never knew a thing – well that’s a surprise isn’t it!
Excellent.
Don’t go walking in the woods.

Congrats, Guido, but you have to pursue this impartial uncivil sevant until he is fired without compensation. Concentrate on that aspect.
Note the ISP of the knut who suggested that you had sold the story – this line was obviously decided on when you put your header up.
One thing about these draconian e-mail/ISP logging laws from ZaNuLaBor is that in a year’s time, they can be used against them – the law of unintended consequences.
Go get ‘em!
Spectator is carrying a new article.

The Spectator understands
Excellent news management techniques guido to do this on the easter weekend. 4 days for it to run with all the usual excuses for the labour party (nick robinson et al.) away leaving the second string to try and cope.
Is mandelslime advising you in the dark arts?
It is really very shameful that we have to rely on bloggers for the truth.
Are there no journalists, employed by the BBC, willing to break this labour code of silence ?
Guido keep up the good work – But don’t take any walks in woods !
I am a sex pest.
Just listened to Dolly on Radio 4’s PM claiming his email system was was hacked to get these emails..LOL
“” Keep your forked-tongue firmly behind your teeth Griever Wormtongue”
OMFG!!
Did I pick the wrong time to go on a bender or what?
Can’t stop laughing and I’m sober now – but not for long!!
Thank you so much!!!
Well done.
Be careful out there!
especially near protests.
Well done Guido! I heard about this on Sky, where you got spoken of as ‘the controversial blogger Guido Fawkes’ who got the story. Don’t walk in the woods, don’t let Mrs Fawkes & the Fawkettes go to lonely places either & be careful of your speed/tax/MOT etc – you know what Cnuts they are!
Nice that this story involves your old mucker Drooper too. O/T but subtly humorous – one of the items on Pravda early this morning was about the beating that Nokia phones get while they’re being tested – bet a host of Nokias had some ‘destruction testing’ in Drowning Street last night.

Gov spin on it.
Trying to distance themselves from it ASAP.
Number two on BBC at the moment.
I expect a lot of hits over the coming 24 hours.
Interesting that No 1 is benefit claimants face difficulties. Wayne and waynetta obviously checking up to make sure their giros turn up.
Who else is going to be dragged into this sorry mess?!
The whole fucking Labour party I hope
TB, just been on your site & watched the Drooper video – priceless, it had me laughing out loud – loved the theme tune too!
I would suspect some involvement from the Dark Lord in this whole sorry mess but it will be difficult to find any proof of that – he’s perfected Brown’s McAvity skills
Fantastic! Pull up a chair everyone. This is going to be interesting…
Update: This gets better and better. I will be up early for my breaky…
I’m staying up a bit as this is moving fast.
I’m also saving BBC articles about it, in case they are later changed.

“No 10 apology over ’slur’ e-mail
Downing Street has apologised for e-mails sent by one of Gordon Brown’s senior officials which reportedly discussed smearing senior Tories.
The Daily Telegraph says the e-mails found their way to the Guido Fawkes blog.
A Number 10 spokesman said the messages were “juvenile and inappropriate”.
The Tories said it was “absurd” that advisers were “plotting smear campaigns rather than focusing on how to help people affected by the downturn”.
‘Appropriate use’
The Daily Telegraph said the e-mails included unfounded allegations about Conservative leader David Cameron and shadow chancellor George Osborne.
Their author, who has not been named, was thought to have sent them to former government spin doctor Derek Draper, who runs a pro-Labour blog.
BBC political correspondent Laura Kuenssburg said it was not clear how the e-mails ended up with Guido Fawkes, who has traded insults with Mr Draper.
The official at the centre of the row has had to apologise to colleagues, our correspondent added.
A spokesman for Downing Street said: “Neither the prime minister nor anybody else in Downing Street, except the author, knew anything about any of these private emails.
“The author of these emails has apologised for their juvenile and inappropriate nature and for the embarrassment caused.
“All staff will be reminded of the appropriate use of Number 10 resources.”

THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!!
WELL DONE GUIDO!!!!
All the Tories have to do now is whenever the government say they are going to do something ( eg: Cut public spending, Throw benefit claimants on to the streets , bomb baby milk factories in the North East) all they have to do is say its a smear and heres the proof to show they have form.
Just make sure this goes far and wide as despite what we think a lot of people still believe the BBC and what they say.
Guido should also be careful to ensure that he reports the story not becomes the story which Labour would love as it’s their only way out now.
I’m weary of false dawns. How many times have the wheels appeared to have come off this admiinistration in the past decade, every time to be for want of a less clumsy phrase false dawns?
The wheels have come off so many times now that they replaced them with skis a long time ago. Unfortunately they are now heading down a black piste with no experience of how to ski.
Go Guido!
Have a go at this one as well Guido. Labour have extended the house arrest of Mr Green by 2 months which should put a decision just the other side of the Euro elections and well past the budget.
Of course nothing political in the decision whatsoever.
From http://www.politicalbetting.com
I don’t want to give too much away but the emails are a round robin discussion about the logistics of setting up a deniable website followed by the circulation of the first tranche of stories. These stories – ready to publish – originate from an official 10 Downing Street email address (NOT a private email address as the Telegraph spoiler implies) and are sickening. One describes an alleged sexual disease; another claims that a close family member of one leading Tory is receiving treatment for a mental health issue.
The real question is this: did Gordon Brown know what was being done on his behalf by people close to him?
by Don April 10th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
The real answer is: no, Gordon Brown doesn’t have a clue what’s going on anywhere.
Thanks for the tip-off – Guido was obviously hogging this and wanted to stretch it out, looks like you’ve pissed on his parade a bit. Unless he was trying to smoke out more information? Is he that clever? Does he have a venereal disease?
Who the fuck are you? I don’t ever recall electing these parasites or authorising my tax to be spent on such disgraceful and pathetic behaviour. This kind of stuff always comes from the top and is always orchestrated by Brown (who we also did not elect). Damien Mcbride couldn’t take a shit without sending a memo to the gurgling flatulent bagpipe who employed him.
These emails need to be published in full. The quicker we sink this gang of joyriding political maggots the quicker we can start sifting through this car crash of a country.
absoultely 100% correct
maggots!!!
“another claims that a close family member of one leading Tory is receiving treatment for a mental health issue.”
I did not know Gordon has a leading Tory as a close relative?
McBagpipe is a micro manager. Everything that happens in No 10 he is aware of.
The disgusting haggis-eating student unionist is a control freak.
His pathetic poncey special advisor is a CIVIL SERVANT whose salary is paid by taxpayers.
McBride should be sacked Tuesday 0800, his pension forfeited and he should be charged for contraventions of the Civil Service Code.
But it won’t happen of course.
McBust is a tribal creep and all “Mc’s” are safe in his greasy hands.
either Brown was aware of this whch makes him a cowardly piece of shit or he wass not aware of it which makes him an incompetent piece of shit. Astounding how so many of these fucks Jacqui’s videos, Jowell’s mortgage, Hoon’s everything. Seems that a side effect of the scandal virus is that it destroys all sense of awareness – and one John Lyon is permanently afflicted.
either Brown was aware of this whch makes him a cowardly piece of shit or he wass not aware of it which makes him an incompetent piece of shit.
He’s both. Cowardly and incompetent.
People that are too thick to distinguish between government Ministers and civil servants (paid for by the taxpayer) and an individual blogger (who owes no duty to the taxpayer) should restrain themselves from posting their mindless crap.
Bad grammar was used for emphasis.
People who post mindless crap should stop complaining about people who post mindless crap.
You fucking dipstick.
A civil servant is supposed to act impartially and not actively “campaign” on behalf of government ministers. At least that was always the position in the past. Helping to smear opposition politicians hardly seems like impartial behaviour for a civil servant hmmm? But of course, the Labour party and this government has done it’s best to politicise and corrupt what was once an honourable service.
If anyone’s posting mindless crap it’s you old son.
All this politicisation began in earnest with one T Blair in 1997. I said at the time it would cause problems. Typical control freak “one party state” Socialist mindset.
“You appear to have missed he point of the post – that a higher set of standards applies to those we are paying than to Guido.”
Then you should have made that clear, shouldn’t you? Your post read to me as if Draper is off the hook. You know, the pro-Labour blogger who was the recipient off these messages. I see no posts insisting that Guido be bound by the same rules as Ministers and Civil Servants so who were you whining at?
That’s the trouble – I’ve yet to master the new Comments system and the post I was responding to disappeared. It referred to Guido as the different side to the same coin as McBride, or something similar.
Give me some credit – I wouldn’t refer to Draper as a “blogger”, perhaps “failed blogger”. Nor would I refer to him as “individual”, since he has always been a part of the Labour machine.
“b) “people that” is entirely acceptable usage.”
Yes, it is – if you’re functionally illiterate.
Looks like the Labour Rebuttal unit is up burning the midnight oil tonight.
Get yourself off to bed Derek its way past your bedtime.
Pretty sure Draper wouldn’t call the Government crappy and smelling of shit. Don’t get me wrong, Draper and McBride are class A wankers, would be enjoying these stories more if people would admit they are in a shit fight and flinging shit everywhere.
I mean really a post about smearing politicians, self awareness much?
Shit smearing is fine by me.
why does comment 11 come after comment 623?
FFS, show me this story.
Is there any particular reason for you being up so late Damian? Something you needed to read perhaps?
Guido, would you like to come for a nice walk in my woods?
It’s really nice up there, honest!
Ooh your so scary Guido. Playing the tedious old ‘trying to get a scalp’ game that the other rags do. Some day the spotlight’s going to turn on you, and then all will be revealed…
Or even “you’re so scary”. Bloody grammar. Point stands.
Thank you Turpin_Pride for your valuable contribution.
Putin’s Russia must be red with envy when seeing some of Labour’s tactics. Even Stalin would blush!
i take it your a postal voter then
Actually, I’m hundreds of postal voters.
If you don’t like this playground, fuck off to one you do like.
When Guido stop this annoying crap and gives us the full facts, then the bitching can stop. Only then.
If you don’t like it Dick Pride why don’t you fuck off to Dolly’s site with the rest of the dirty Hoon spinners?
What about my so scary Guido?
Stick it up ‘em Guido!
just heard the BBC apologising for the Liebour party, well what do we expect from the BBC?
joolz
I think the BBC have given up trying to give the impression they are impartial these days. Everyone knows they are simply the political mouthpiece for the Labour party. That’s why nobody takes them seriously anymore.
I’m more interested in the lurid rumours so come on what do we think they are ?
The fact that .gov email addresses where used (??) rather than private email and those sending the emails are civil servant(s) means, I assume, that they must all be released by FOI requests??
They’ll probably refuse to release the correspondance siting National Security or some other fake reason.
No, they’ll say the cost ceiling of 600 pounds would be exceeded, so sorry no go.
I want these Hoons nailed up on crosses.
You hammer the nails in through the heel of the hand. You don’t break any bones but you bugger the median nerve, which sends bolts of unimaginable pain shooting up the arms to the shoulder.
The cause of death in crucifixion is multifactorial but hypovolaemic shock (triggered by blood loss from the scourging beforehand) is what usually finishes the fuckers off.
I really, really, really want to crucify a Labouroid. Literally. Castrate the fucker first then nail the bastard up and let the evil little shit take a week to die in agony.
Happy Easter, Labourkunts.
Christ, that sounds rather unpleasant.
Firm but fair.
Fucking hell laddy – jump off the fence why dontcha?
Pierrepoint
Very timely comment for Easter weekend.
How about something inspired by the last scene of Braveheart?
I prefer skinning the legs first, then hoisting them on a meat hook throught the jaw before setting them alight.
Skin’em and salt them. Feed the remains to pigs.
Why not try the ancient means of execution by tying a corpse to the condemned.
whwn you say feed them to the pigs are you suggesting they go on the House of Commons menu?
“ancient means of execution by tying a corpse to the condemned.”
It would only be fair.
Thats exactly what he’s done to our economy.
wimps!…letting them off lightly!
There’s a queue, you know.
Gory , very gory but on the plus side topical.
8/10
OK, but only if I can …. watch! Post it on You Tube.
It is the right thing to do.
No scourging beforehand then? I thought cause of death was usually suffocation/asphxyation as the person crucified had to push themselves up to get air in their lungs & eventually exhaustion won & they died. I understood that sometimes, as ‘an act of mercy’??? they broke their legs so death was quicker? However, I’m no expert on the matter. Perhaps, when the time comes, we can experiment?
Surely it is just better to defeat them in the argument, let them realise that they are completely wrong and everyone knows it.
Whilst I have nothing but contempt for the third rate little men in 10 Downing Street, this gross hyperbole plus quite unnecessarily bad language devalue our arguments and makes us look juvenile.
Fuck – some of you are just sick
Tomorrow guido check your brakes. you don’t want to end up like dr david kelly
If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise…..
Bugger off Gladstone – I’ve already used that line…
I wonder if perhaps you screwed up by teasing the story on Thursday.
All the same. Good luck Guido.
Big time. If he is so upset by the “planted spoiler”, where are the emails?
Is it possible to use FoI to discover any other emails from the same person using their downing st email to the same recipient ?
Would one of those lobby correspondents be Nick Robinson?
I commented on his blog I thought someone was briefing him, because he was pushing the George Osborne/Oleg Deripaska thing way further than was credible.
Does the C in BBC stand for communists?
Does the pope shit in woods?
Buggers Broadcasting Communism is ye olde interpreation of BBC – sadly it remains apt to this day.
No, it stands for Hoons
BBC =
Bolshevik Bullsh1tting Cnuts
More like Robert Peston……………..
Keep at it Guido.
And so say all of us!
Take care Guido – make sure the story comes out regardless of whether or not they get you.
Erm – you care to reread that gem?
BTW you certainly seem to be.
And lo, the gunsturbating teenage-mentality Hoon, 45iq, appears in person…
Draper is flogging a dead horse with labourlost.org. The whole thing reads like something North Korea would be proud of.
Press Association has just put up a story:

Amused by the last line: “It is unclear how the emails were obtained by Mr Staines.”
Can you catch the clap from watching Anal Boutique then? :)
Ask Mr Smith, the not at home serretary’s not at home secretary.
apparently its possible from watching ‘Raw meat 3′ or so I heard
Meat is better RAW!!
I have never been so insulted in my life.
hahahahahahha
BBC and Nulabour have now issued v2 of their apology.
I have posted it higher up in this blog to help you compare it to the previous version.
They have now named Mr McBride.

Gordon Brown = Richard Nixon
LOL!
Think his name is Kim Jong- very ill
What these evil obsessives don’t get is that a site like Fawkes – and the comments – bubble up from the street. This is not organised or orchestrated, GF reflects real people, spread all over the place, who do not know each other, but are thinking the same things at the same time.
In Labour land, of course, this could not happen. Everything has to be centrally planned in smoke-filled rooms, over beer and sandwiches. They even centrally-plan smears. (It’s easy for us, lads, because Brown’s and Blair’s private lives are so, erm, colourful)
A lot of Labour people really think GF is organised with the help of the Tories. They simply cannot get their heads around it.
Draper, mate, the Layber Parteh is f*cked. A graceful, magnanimous exit is the best option.
Still don’t think the BBC is prepared for a sweeping Tory victory next year, though (as evidenced by the web spin tonight).
I can see Toenails’ piece to camera the following the GE, as he struggles to explain (to himself, really) just why the ‘perfectly-specified’ New Labour project has crashed and burned.
Well said sir.
Not so sure Al Jabeeba isn’t covering its exits. The Dimbleby boys have been much rougher on the Government apologists over the past year, and there is an odd less partial radio or TV interview ( though now I read blogs and websites to obtain news, so I dont see/hear as much now).
I think some know the writing is on the wall. The Tories are probably wise to speak warm platitudes about the TV tax this side of the election. I do so hope they get the knives out the day after they are elected. That is one boil long overdue for lancing.
“The Dimbleby boys have been much rougher on the Government apologists over the past year”
To misquote, a Dimbleby being rough on the Gov’t is like being savaged by a wet fart.
‘..over beer and sandwiches. ‘
Really? Are you sure?
Caviar canopes and Crystal champagne would be nearer the truth. After all, it’ll be charged to the taxpayer.
Do ocado deliver sandwiches?
“Smoke-filled rooms, over beer and sandwiches” – That is so 1970s, this is the brave NuLabour world of the 2000s; nothing is too good for our Commissars, it will be champagne and the finest foie gras. As for smoke-filled, I think not, cocaine would be nearer the mark for the BBC/Nulab alliance.
I don’t know what’s happened to Robinson. When he was on ITV he was much harder on the Gov’t. Is it just the Beeb disease?
And who *sent* the email, you mindless idiot?
Restrain yourself and go back to LabourList.
And it is “people who” not “people that”, thicko.
Shurely them shud be quote marks and not asterisks??????????????
Asterisks around “sent” are for emphasis.
How bizarre that Baron Quizling/Dave Dee from the Telegraph blogs should turn up here masquerading as two minute wanker
a) You appear to have missed he point of the post – that a higher set of standards applies to those we are paying than to Guido.
b) “people that” is entirely acceptable usage.
What has he actually done though?
A lot of heat with him and draper, but as always not much light
Well you would say that, wouldn’t you Dolly?
Anyway, Kate’s all yours for the rest of the night after a workout.
Night all.
Derek? Is it you?? Maybe you should try reading 1984 again, not sure your pea brain understood it the first time round.
Anton,
When I was at the vinegar strokes she used to whip it out of her beef curtains (with pink linings) & go for a good old pearl necklace, when she was in a dirty mood, or on the blob.
Does she still do this from time to time?
Guido getting told off by a New Labour MP over this story.
eh keep up the good work?
I assume the fuckwit Mcbride is a civil servant on the public payroll, His position is compromised sack the retard.
Nof ifs and or buts (well if he comes across Mandelson this may apply).
If Mcbride is paid by Nulab then the guy is still a fuckwit just not paid 4 by taxpayers (and the chances of this being the case are exactly zero).
He’s a civil servant
nothing civil about him
More like an incompetent version of Ratfucking that even Donald Henry Segretti would have been ashamed of.
Oh for f***’s sake just publish them, will you? This is childish.
Fuck off – the anticipation adds to the tension. Are you worried there might be even more shit on ZaNuLaBor hands and lips?
Why fuck me they (BBC and NuLabour) edited it quickly.
Here is their version 2 now.
They have now named Mr McBride.

No 10 apology over ’slur’ e-mail
Downing Street
Downing Street apologised for the embarrassment caused
Downing Street has apologised for e-mails sent by one of Gordon Brown’s senior officials which reportedly discussed smearing top Tories.
The Daily Telegraph says the e-mails found their way to Paul Staines, writer of the Guido Fawkes blog.
BBC political correspondent Laura Kuenssburg said she understood their author to be Damien McBride, the prime minister’s ex-political press officer.
A Number 10 spokesman said the messages were “juvenile and inappropriate”.
The Tories said it was “absurd” that advisers were “plotting smear campaigns rather than focusing on how to help people affected by the downturn”.
‘Appropriate use’
The Daily Telegraph said the e-mails included unfounded allegations about Conservative leader David Cameron and shadow chancellor George Osborne.
Their author was thought to have sent them to former government spin doctor Derek Draper, who runs a pro-Labour blog.
It is understood that the official at the centre of the row has had to apologise to colleagues.
Mr McBride, a special adviser in Downing Street, was removed from his job dealing with the media on a day-to-day basis following the resignation of former Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly’s in September 2008.
The handling of her departure from government was widely seen as chaotic, our correspondent said.
But Mr McBride stayed on in Number 10, and was given responsibility for strategy and planning.
Our correspondent said Mr McBride, who has worked for Gordon Brown for many years, became unpopular with some MP s for his trenchant briefings to journalists
She added that it was not clear how the e-mails ended up with Mr Staines, who has traded insults with Mr Draper.
A spokesman for Downing Street said: “Neither the prime minister nor anybody else in Downing Street, except the author, knew anything about any of these private emails.
“The author of these emails has apologised for their juvenile and inappropriate nature and for the embarrassment caused.
“All staff will be reminded of the appropriate use of Number 10 resources.”
I just love the bit about him being responsible for strategy and planning. It’s a good job the country is in such safe hands that the Prime Minister never needs to discuss strategy and planning.
david kelly’s brakes were fine
Are you that psychic mechanic I’ve heard about?
Hehehe
Delicious. I look forward to reading more. It’s high time these people were exposed for the nasty hoons they are.
Guido, the corruption of this administration know no bounds. I fear for your personal safety. The Downing Street politburo serving Brown will stop at nothing, even assassination cf David Kelly.
[...] Jump to Comments A most interesting spat is developing between the Telegraph and Guido over the precise details of the activities of what looks like a particularly seedy black ops outfit [...]
Anton get the fuck of Kate you tosser.
Sorry Derek never saw you there thought you were swotting on actually getting your ,made up qualification.
Power to your elbow Guido. I pray for your safety and success and trust good will win over evil.
You clearly need a good truncheoning.
ps: Vote Labour!
Please just tend to your own ‘business’ Mr Timney
So civil servants are setting up smear operations against Tory leaders and in the meantime Shadow minister Damian Green has had his bail extended by two months in a case that had cost tens of thousands of pounds.
Is this the UK or are we living under some kind of South American tin-pot dictatorship?
Albania actually
Great Britain is unique
More like Zimbabwe. David Cameron should beware of oncoming lorries and letting his children anywhere swimming pools…
Yes, but that’s to Gordon Brown, we’re a uniquely well placed tinpot…
It’s long been said that the BBC is often the mouthpiece of the government, I think the BBC should start investigating stories and reporting fully and accurately. At the moment it looks as if the BBC is colluding with the government to limit the damage to Brown and his cronies. This is not what I pay my license fee for, I expect accurate and thorough reporting.
Guido, you need to get the full story in to the newspapers to counteract the tripe being reported by the BBC.
Stop paying the TV Tax you numpty.
It’s easy and in the current economic Brownturn is very financially advisable.
bbcResitance
The BBC is in full Liebore whitewash pre-election mode. Its coverage of the Nigel Griffiths affair is an object lesson in obsequious disinformation. Its website has published one article on the subject, informing the public that the honourable gentleman had apologised for his sordid sexual encounter in his office in the HoC.
It omitted any reference at all to three other salient facts on the story: (1) that Griffiths’ had initially issued a categorical denial of the story that was a barefaced lie, (2) that his subsequent ‘excuse’ (sic) – that he was too drunk to remember anything – was equally a lie as demonstrated by the large number of photos he had taken over a period of several hours and then downloaded onto his computer, and (3) that he had applied to the High Court for an injunction to prevent the media from commenting further on the story – an application that was refused point-blank by a High Court Judge.
Ah, the good old Beeb. If only the rest of the UK media could be relied on for such craven support, there would have been no need for Nigers to go to the High Court for an injunction in the first place.
Be like me & thousands of others – stop paying your licence fee. I’m f***** if I’m going to pay to listen to/watch government propaganda.
Good,
they are sowing the wind,
they will reap the whirlwind.
“They are also trying to make out that the story is just about Damian McBride sending gossipy emails to his pal Derek Draper. Utter lies.”
“This is a lot bigger than some minor bloggers spat.”
“UPDATE : The BBC have an anonymous Downing Street source claiming that no-one else in Downing Street besides Damian knew about all this – simply not true and contradicted by the evidence.”
Then show us.
Nice try Damian, now fuck off!
Yes, because Damian REALLY wants this stuff published. Moron.
SHOW US THE EMAILS!
Patience old boy, patience…
Oh, have you run out of popcorn?
Nulab, the bbc, some of the civil service and some of the police
it’s enough to make you paranoid
They all have common purpose.
lol
perhaps that should be ‘common porpoise’ like in New York.
Labour really are the dumbest of dumbfucks. If there was ever proof that they don’t get the Internet, it’s this.
Theres not really much point smearing someone who:
a. thrives on publicity

Guido could be enjoying crack sessions with a troupe of brazillian ladyboys for all we care – we don’t pay for it.
Well said.
Don’t think Mrs Guido would be happy about the crack lessons.
O/T but how long can the incompetent Jacqui Smith continue to use MPs’ allowances to steal from the taxpayer?
While she watches porn films, illegals go merrily about their business …
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/94507/Judge-s-fury-as-he-bumps-into-foreign-crooks-he-s-ordered-to-be-deported
It’s deliberate. Labour talk tough on immigration and deportation but in truth they want illegal immigrants and foreign criminals to destabilise the country so that they can ramp up their repression, introduce more freedom-busting laws, accelerate multiculturalism to destroy English identity, culture and heritage and to change the voting demographics forever. They thrive on chaos. They don’t listen. They don’t care. And I’m surprised their stupid stooges have the gall to come on here and boast on behalf of their political masters. Sickening.
I see Pakistan has told Brown to go fuck himself as well. He is fast becoming ‘Browny nomates”
Agreed. This is exactly the plan. If they are not stopped now, the damage to this country will be irreversible. England has never been under such a threat in its entire history.
that and illiegals and foriegn criminals would naturally vote for zanu labia anyway.
Save the election by filling the country with your sort of people
Seems like Jacqui is is still into nasty videos

I notice the Express says that ‘Have Your Say’ is not available for that article. Is there anybody honest left?
This stuff is brilliant, I’ve only been reading this blog since the Hannan speech and I’ve learned more about the corrupt, incompetent halfwits who rule us in two weeks than in 30 years of watching the Beeb.
Yes that is why I fear for the future of this Blog and Mr Fawkes.
If someone like Ian Tomlinson is beaten to death on the streets of London for being caught in the middle of a protest by mistake, think what they might do to Mr Fawkes. Will they do anything and everything to protect “their state” from the subjects in it?
Of interest is
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/apr/11/g20-pathologist-ian-tomlinson
Interesting. And the National Policing Improvement Agency is a construct of the Labour dominated state police unelected lobbying body ACPO which has undermined the independence of the police by centralising it and strengthening its alignment with national socialist political direction through the Home Office by State Police Reichsfuhrer Frau Schmitt. One of the first things the Nazis did was to suborn the police and make it an integral part of their machinery of control over the people, as the national socialists of New Labour have done. These people are truly evil.
Whenever Labour use the words “improvement” or “progressive” be afraid, be very afraid. It always results in the precise opposite for the majority.
Yes they have already introduced an Act that allows all digital traffic to be monitored, the EU is actively discussing ways of curbing “internet dissent”.
Won’t be long before 1984 arrives in all its awful majesty.
“Beaten to death”? What happened to Tomlinson was tragic and disgraceful and personally I hope the policeman responsible is charged with manslaughter and goes to prison for a good ten years. But “beaten to death” is reactionary bullshit. He was hit once and pushed once.
Calm down for fuck’s sake.
Watch the video carefully, he was hit twice, once in the legs and once on the head. Sky News showed the frame-by-frame with the head strike circled at first then they mysteriously cut that bit out of their analysis in later broadcasts and just showed the legs strike then jumped to the fall. Plus there’s the female witness who said that shortly before the video the police had charged him to the ground and beaten him. The entire current police force (and government obviously) need to be replaced as they’re rotten to the core, it’s as simple as that.
@ Impatient.
And your source is?
Jesus I didn’t realise people still watched the Beeb to gain information!
“He was hit once and pushed once.”
on the footage that we have been shown, maybe.
I locked onto GF just the day before the Daniel Hannan address and I agree that Guido is offering a better public service (broadcasting). I wasn’t entirely wet behind the ears prior, though. I used to get UK news from globalresearch.ca, rense and Daily Paul. Thanks to the Internets.
I’m sorry, I’m stupid. Can someone explain to me, in words I can understand, why the Torygraph is printing NuLab damage-limitation propaganda?
Barclay Bros = Labourgraph
Barclay Bros – the Gilbert & George of the MSM
Sorry, there is no convincing explanation yet for why the Telegraph became Labour’s jamrag. There is one implausible account that as they are strongly Catholic they may have been ‘turned’ by Tony Blair on the promise of special friendship, but if so they don’t appear to have benefitted much from it.
You just have to accept that they are deeply strange people who went to all the trouble of building a castle on a private island in one of the few remaining feudal regimes, then got in to an almighty snit about the constitution and spent millions of pounds on legal argument against it. Go figure.
Well ask yourself what are the political affiliations of its publishers the Barclay brothers?
The same reason the paper hired that old lefty harrpy Mary Riddell.
She’s as bonkers left as Polly twaddle.
How dare you?
Another reason why I stopped buying the Maily Triviagraph some time ago, I just couldn’t stand it after the pro-Brown rubbish it was priniting.
finally… some action! :-)
Guido’s delaying tactics are interesting. He must be loving the squirming between trail and publication. It makes it worse for his victims, but of course “do nothing” is not an option for them. Just like how, immediately after Tomlinson’s death when it wasn’t yet known there were two decent videos, the police came up with stuff – description of his actions, double-quick “heart attack” autopsy – that’s now regarded as an embarrassing cover-up.
Quite right. As GF as already pointed out they’re making denials based on not being sure of what GF has handed to the Sunday paper.
They’ve guessed there’s not much to it. This could be a very bad bet when the evidence plops late Saturday. No10 have already conceded that McBribe can be identified, having started off denying it.
It will be interesting to see who else in media goes with the story and who pretends it’s not happening….shades of the reaction to the Hannan speech.
Note to McBribe. The internet didn’t exist in 1997 – the game has changed. Getting Campbell to force his way into editing suites to control things is ancient history.
Campbellkellykiller isn’t much use now, is he?
er… I think you’ll find the Internet’s been around a little while before 1997…
Hmmm. Hmmmm Kerrigan. The first multilingual databased website was launched in 1997 – the internet did indeed exist. Other than that, Spot On.
…..and de Menezes was a “drug addict” and an “illegal immigrant” … the police have been corrupted by marxist Liebour.
And de Menezes was both. So fucking what?
he also ran from the ploice and jumped over the pay barrier ALSO NOT TRUE
It’s always the cover up that fucks them.
Are we talking about the politicians or Lewis Hamilton and McLaren?
A Number 10 spokesman said: Gordon Brown D I D N O T H A V E S E X W I T H T H A T W O M A N.
Don’t stop until you fucking hit bone. Corrupt twats.
Keep going once you’ve hit bone! Grind the twats into the ground.
I see nothing wrong here.

The email trial probably started in America…..

Ive put up a fabulous Youtube video on my blog for this
Ive been wanting to put it up for a while
HelloGoodbye Dollyhttp://is.gd/rTlh
it is always the details and the trail left that catch people out, the fact that they do not know what Guido knows places them in a very difficult position. They’ll either have to give more info then they have to….or be caught in a lie….THAT would be much more damaging to them.
great fun, and more to come :)
Brilliant work Guido!
Fucking stunning, I’m really looking forward to the nitty gritty of who’s, when’s and what’s coming out here. Name names!
What I don’t understand is why they think that a family member suffering a mental illness would be a good story to use! It’s no one’s fault if they are suffering from one and it would surely be more likely to attract sympathy for the family member.
They are still living in the 1970s and appear to also wear short trousers.
It’s appalling.
Its quite simple really
It would have been wrapped up as this so called person was destitute while the high flying Tory eat caviar or abandoned him/her at Birth or various combinations
Normal shite form Labour and no one believes it.
That is just sick Already the stigma that mental illness already brings, is intolerable to those people who suffer with it myself included.
We are shat upon and reviled and yet we have a disease, and we are blamed for it
It is almost sanctimonious to say that people with a mental disorder are to blame and that the rest of their family is the same, Its like saying that someone with a black relative, is black has been tainted , and is therefore not trustworthy, or of any character. It is basically racist thought, disablist thought, which is reprehensible in this current era.
The plain fact of the matter is that no one in Britain save those who are rich, can eat a decent varied diet, from which they obtain all the vitamins and minerals that they need for proper functioning
Most mental illness these days is caused by deficiency states, and by processed food with no real nutrients so you stay full but do not receive any benefit
Its like being enslaved and being used by the multinational corporations to be a serf in the world economy.
25% of the population of Britain dont even know what the word oppobrium means, Is this what we fought two world wars for, is this why we live in a so called democratic parliamentary democracy Its a shambles, its a damning indictment on the face of society.
Do the main three parties tell you that the post office is being shut due to EU directives NO they pull the wool over your eyes and feed you the party line and you know they know something but you cant figure it out.
They are systematically ruining us the people for their own selfish ends.
I love the spin thats being put on the story by pro-Labour outlets.
The emails were touted to us.. in other words the leak is a tout, unscrupulous.
Its just a rogue mamber of staff… not a senior adviser then?
The emails were private… from an official email address?
Its not an orchestrated campaign… one email might not, but several emails forming a discussion certainly look like one and the smear job on Guido on Labourlist definately looked deliberate and calculated.
A personal observation is that we’re less than 12 months away from an election. If the past few weeks are anything to go by, I can’t wait to see how intense things get online closer to the election.
I’m ordering in popcorn… stacks of it.
I bet Sir Micheal Shite will appear somewhere
Plus the insinuation that someone hacked into the No. 10 email system, ie illegal activity.
I’m going to order in popcorn too – I love a good a good drama and this one will end in tears!
popcorn is good but just doesn’t go as well with the champers I shall drinking whilst celebrating their downfall. I must try and find a nice wife before the election so I can having someone bringing me regular snacks
guido you star , i had assumed dereks denial was was to bait you , so you were right then , and ian dale was target .

Such a leading article in a national newspaper will bring more people here – which can only be a Good Thing.
Hi Lola,
well it certainly brought me here !, what a find I didn’t know this blog existed.
For those of you who have never seen the film V for Vendetta, this government looks and acts exactly as the Government in the film, Frightening at times
now you’ve found it, pass it to your friends as a kind of early christmas present :)
Guido don’t take any crap from Gordo and his sick gang including the BBC. Us loyal readers are standing 100% behind you on this. Be careful though, coz it’s gonna get ugly.
Were here as well
Good work, Guido – keep it up.
Any chance of you publishing the emails in question? That’d be a right laugh! :)
Well done Guido, this is dynamite, you’re living up to your name!
Top stuff :-)
Keep up the good work.
Storm/teacup- argument between two politicos ,great in Westminster village no one else gives a toss.Didn’t even know who Draper was until I read the story.’I'll get you Butler”…and all that…
Shall I pick your dummy up?

You are Harman Pride and I claim my smutty email
You’re yet another NuLabour Troll then? Welcome! We chew ‘em up & spit them out here.
I really want to see the evidence, when that is made public Draper and McBride will be fucked. You should get the story and evidence out there and rub their grubby shit spinning noses in it.
Is it me or does Draper look like he needs a good bath?
It’s not you. He’s not the sort of person you would wish to be sitting next to.
Dolly’s appearance makes you wonder quite how Miss Garroway let him have his evil way with her a second time a few months ago.

I also hope McBride ends up signing on……
If McBride did send these e-mails he should be suspended immediately for breaching the Civil Service Code until a formal disciplinary can be heard.
When you say suspended, I trust you mean from a lamp post.

Newsflash: Guido has no balls and sits on juicy gos. Labour = Fucked.
So the poisoners have been caught out? I fucking hope that the Tories stop sitting there like some dopey love struck seven year old and start FIGHTING, they should get off their collective lazy arses and go on the attack!
If the Tories do nothing they do not deserve power, if they do not at least try to stop these evil bastards from undermining the democratic process then they frankly deserve all they get.
Oi Dave, stop dithering you plonker and start fighting, these newlabour/BBC/

Whilst that might be more fun for the casual viewer taking the higher ground might be the better option in the longer (12ish months) run.
This country is in a fucking mess and no mistake! Me and my mates are packing our bags and getting ready to leave the Tower of London….
Me thinks Madame Guillotine will be very busy, this might get very nasty, the tumbils will roll once again, in the future people will say “It was the best of times (for some) and the worst of times (for many).
Guido many thanks for exposing what a bunch of mendacious Hoons we have at the heart of British government. This story has got legs and will run and run. I predict even more Hoonish behaviour will be exposed as the Layber Parteh (thanks Newsed1) becomes increasingly desperate. They are running scared and like the vicious bunch of rats they are they will lash out more and more in the coming weeks and months.
BTW it’s strange the silence from the *_Pride fuckwits tonight. Cat got their tongues? Though there does seem to be an increase in the anonybots.
Someone call me?
Hey, but I’m on your side!
This Mcbride fukwit and dolly are definitely the B team where smears are concerned.
Who actually reads laboffthewrist any way? dolly cuts and pastes,we go for a laugh and that Anton bloke goes to check that dolly is out so he can do some fancy moves on kate.
Brown a number two thru and thru.

Kate who?
I don’t even go to LabourLost to have a laugh anymore – it only increase his stats & makes people like Voldemort think Derek’s successful.

Woah Telegraph has gone way down in my estimation. They are really trying to kill the story aren’t they?
What’s the bollocks about hacking in to a number 10 account? Your facts came from an FOI reqest didn’t they Guido?
Well done Mr Fawkes – go for the fucking Jugular of this beast.
If this doesn’t jump start the opposition then nothing will.
“Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war”
“Or close the wall up with our English dead!”

Snotgobbler McTwat has wished a Happy Easter to people in Britain.
How kind of the dear leader to think of you all whilst trying to distance himself from McBride and Draper’s piss-poor efforts to mastermind a third rate smear campaign.

Well done!
You should also publicise Labour’s attempts to ‘big up’ postal voting with ‘Opt2vote.Ltd’. Mike Smithson (see Private Eye this week) reckons this will overwhelm returning Officers’ resources.
Let everyone know what Labour is doing to the fabric of our democracy!
Be afraid be very afraid of the postal votes. Fraud on an Augean scale looms.
However, it will merit an inquiry when 7,000+ votes are cast in a constituency of only 2,000 voters. And they are such stupid hoons that you know it will happen.

“Serious people doing serious jobs in serious times”

Fantastic Guido.

Go straight to the top of the leaderboard.
Watch out for the following pack.
The Thai people have the right idea.
… and the Moldovans. They even managed to grab some of the MPs’ flat-screen TVs.
Yes, watched the Thai protesters on TV. Good luck to them. They provide a good example for oppressed people everywhere.
gGood luck Guido!As of today and after 42 years an ex telegraph reader.
Hes Good luck Guido. I will not ever buy the Telegraph again. These days the Daily Wail seems to be doing the best job out of the MSM in exposing the hoons in government, so I get that on Sundays now. Rest of the time I get my news from the interweb, far more complete and uncensored.
By the way I signed up one J Smith on the No 10 Petition for free bath plugs for all, don’t supposed she will authenticate the signature, but I hope she feels a frisson of shame…. No wait she is a Liebor Party politition, that would be outside of her emotional range.
guido i have just seen your picture on the telegraph site. yum yum.
anyway the scotsman newspaper has picked up the story as well and says quote “He was e-mailing Derek Draper who runs a Labour-supporting political blog. But they have now come into the possession of Paul Staines, whose Guido Fawkes blog is hostile towards the government.”
guido do you wonder if number ten would ever send emails about people moving in to challenge for the labour leadership You know things like dodgy expenses details say for watching movies. i wonder about that?
Is it a coincidence that Nick Robinson’s blog started being locked 10 days ago? Normally by now when he is on leave the site is well over 500 comments. I suspect that the right wing views of his bloggers is getting at ZaNuLabour.
I think that they are exerting an influence on the BBC. It has been apparent for some time that his Blog directly reflects comments and views of the Downing Street Press Office. The expression “Herd of cats” is a direct lift.
Well said sir, AlJaBeeba can fuck off. No wonder they strengthened the perimeter fence recently. They’ll need it.
just dont pay the fee
http://www.tvlicensing.biz/
I decided a while ago that Robinson gets no ‘hits’ from me. If his hits dry up …
How many times have many of us wanted to do the same…..but you just don’t , do you? Damien, Damien silly old fool, to send traced e mails….just isn’t cool….
Too much to expect that these publicly-funded poisonous halfwits will get the chop? No, I thought not. If Brown doesn’t act then he’s complicit in all this.
Keep up the good work Guido.
I have a feeling that this post has to be good for over a thousand comments, Guido.
Hooray – the numbers have gone!!!!
Looking forward to Today after 8.10 -promising more -will Guido be there? Does a Sunday have the story? Will Guido get anything out of it?
I dont understand this blog – there 11 odd comments from earlier at the end -3 with the hated numbers, 8 without . This is serious Guido stop worrying about McBride/Draper (he’s not worth it) and sort your blog out!!
look at the time they were posted, 12.24 comes after 7.58
upgrade to mozilla – all will be revelead.
Anyone noticed how Dolly resembles 8Ace from Viz mag?
8Ace is cleaner and more articulate than Dolly
Good spot! I thought it was only me that had noticed that one. Why the delectable Kate thought he was good husband, and good grief father material is beyond me. Yes, six pack of 8Ace please yer fuckah!!
I suing you for that.
Hic.
Guido
We all know that everything Fuckwit Commander Brown does is at OUR expense.
Can’t we just send the boys round to to offer him a reminder of just who pays his wages? Then, after a quick judicial review, hang him from the nearest lamp post?
Absolutely brilliant scoop! Now see if you can find the evidence that New Labour stole the Glenrothes by-election from the SNP by using fraudulent postal votes!
No proof needed. Of course they did.
Be afraid of the postal votes, be very afraid.
This was always a marxist McBagpipe plot to subvert democracy.
The dangerous loon should be sectioned.
The clue is not the postal votes. Its the disappearing register. I think the election was stolen, but not by the organised fraudulent abuse of the postal votes – though Im sure there was some. I suspect that in traditional, birthplace of Labour, coal mine belt Fife the party faithful on their own did as they always did. They stuffed the ballot boxes in all the rural bits. I suspect the shock result in Glasgow East stiffened their resolve to each do their own little bit. I don’t believe their party are clever or organised enough to mastermind a raffle.
Perhaps the ballot should be re-run, but with UN observers at the polling stations.
Indeed Mr Accident
Very peculiar missing register for a very peculiar result.
I’m no conspiracist but this was too convenient by half for Mr Brown and his leadership crisis.
Can British voters ask for outside monitors for the next GE? Like the rest of the countries where the leadership is totally corrupt?
am I still lost?
Well done-but are you on commission from nokia?Sales must be soaring…
Draper/McBride really are complete idiots and should go. They have made the basic mistake of trying to fight this open sewer of a blog using the same tactics. Perhaps all those fans of Guido may also wish to reflect on his compliance with the law both now and in the past. Remember not to believe anything until it is denied.
wee – poo – black pudding
“Open sewer” is Labourspeak. I don’t see that. I see a blog that offers hope to the abused and oppressed peoples of England to escape the yoke of occupation by the treasonous national socialists besmirching our parliament and to read the truth about them. The foul language reflects the rage ordinary people feel about the criminal regime that has spent 12 years fouling our democracy with its filthy corruption and dogma, because the crimes of conscience (thought and speech) introduced by the new Nazi Party of Britain (New Labour) forbid them being expressed anywhere else and have increased tension and hatred.
People don’t like being told how they should think and what they should not write, say or look at. To criminalise it is obscene and redolent of Stalin’s Soviet Union, Nazi Germany or Cambodia. People like you should be ashamed to identify yourselves with such disgusting regimes. That is the open sewer, my friend, a filthy ideology of dictators representing the oppression, persecution, torture and murder of millions.
This latest revelation exposes even more parallels between New Labour and the Nazis. The state use of lying, the misappropriation of public money and public officials to demonise and persecute political opponents with lies. A filthy business by a filthy party. And you have the audacity to compain about the language on this blog and refer to it as an open sewer? There, another trait of New Labour, hypocrisy on a grand scale. You are worthless, mean-minded people and the day this country sees the back of all of you will be a day of great rejoicing – a true new dawn.
I suggest that patriots visiting this blog now waive any pretence and refer to New Labour as the Neo-Nazis. For that is what they are – plain and simple.
Well said ELF.
“People don’t like being told how they should think and what they should not write, say or look at.”
Perhaps you should practice what you preach! You just demonstrate your ignorance of Stalin’s Soviet Union, Nazi Germany or Cambodia.
Perhaps you should note I have little time for the behaviour of Draper and McBride – as for this blog being an open sewer my complaint is more about the content than the language, foul and unacceptable though it is.
Agreed. And – to take another topical story with less political heat – just why really should English children continue to sit SATS tests, when Scottish and Welsh ones don’t?
Balls was reported getting petulent about the threat of a teachers boycott in spring 2010. “You can’t do that”, he in effect minced, “it’s illegal”. Same old same old Layber, if you don’t like something, make it illegal – and when you can’t make it illegal, create fake laws and call them “ASBO” or “guideline”.
Applause
Neo-Nazi it is then, totally agree. All this talk of Nu this’n'that, Zanu whatever, Liebore, Labia etc. – complete waste of time, all old-hat now.
“You just demonstrate your ignorance of Stalin’s Soviet Union, Nazi Germany or Cambodia.”
And you just demonstrate your ignorance of the word “redolent”. In point of fact there are many direct parallels if you care to look for them. The Neo-Nazis here haven’t got to the genocide bit yet but they are on that path. Here are some clues:-
1. Demonising opponents
2. Telling really big lies, repeatedly (you call it “spin”)
3. Stifling dissent and debate (with Political Correctness and legislation)
4. Politicising the civil service
5. Suborning the police and security services
6. Creating an atmosphere of paranoia (If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear) – bigging up external threats to justify more repression
7. Increasing the burden of state bureaucracy to grind down individualism and make it more difficult to deviate from the state “norm”.
8. Creating an alternative government structure to the existing one, side-tracking and marginalising democratic safeguards and traditions
9. State intrusion into the family unit and personal choice – turning children into spies for the state
10. Waging illegal war on false pretences
All of which New Labour = Neo-Nazis are guilty of. I defy you to rebut any of these 10 “clues” to totalitarianism.
And perhaps your characterisation of this website as an “open sewer” would carry more weight if you used a different pseudonym. Accusing those who hold different political views to you of never growing up is hardly very mature is it?
If this site be an “open sewer” I pray for more of them to liberate us from your Neo-Nazi filth.
I’ll back Rolex-Pride on that – well said ELF
Commu-fascist is the correct term.
Guido is not paid by the taxpayer.
In her speech, Ms Blears also complained about a “spreading corrosive cynicism” in political discussion.
She turned her fire on political “bloggers” – accusing them of fuelling disengagement by focusing on “unearthing scandals, conspiracies and perceived hypocrisy” and of being written by “people with disdain for the political system and politicians”.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7711562.stm
as apposed to?
Leaving Number 10, Blears revealed an email describing “Junior PM” – a talent contest for would-be politicians with Mr Brown acting as a judge.
The idea of the premier taking on an Alan Sugar-style role caused widespread hilarity, although the programme has yet to appear on our screen
Can I join in I’m good at quizzes and questions and stuff
They wouldn’t be able to unearth anything if the scandals and conspiracies were not an integral and persisting part of the New Labour project and the hypocrisy is not perceived, love, it is very very real.
Far from fuelling disengagement the bloggers have opened the eyes of thousands to the need to engage in the political process in order to rid this country once and for all of your repulsive party.
Always the first to cry foul when the same tactics are employed against them, these Labour hoons deserve to be shown up for what they are with no mercy. I see no evidence of disengagement here and furthermore I, like many thousands of others, commend the balance redressed against the pro-Labour bias of the MSM. If anything blogs like this are the only place that people like I have (remember the election that never was) to voice concern and anger against the corruption that is going on at the heart of this government. “Chipmunk” Blears has more in common with the weasel and deserves to be hung out to dry with the rest of them.
What you see on here is unfiltered genuine public opinion.
Oi Ginger, you’ve damaged my country, don’t you realise there are people out here who actually want you dead?
Now fuck off.
I really hope the ginger chipmunk gets her very own special ‘portillo moment’
can’t wait
How did I enter this ‘Profession’? . . Well, I’ll tell you, – but don’t breathe a word.
The last I remember was him giving me this drink, and then everything went blank. I woke up . . . . here.
They said I was just the type they were looking for. Someone ‘different’ they said. I was a Sunday School teacher you know, with that air of sweet innocence that they said was attractive. Also, they have some real big’uns like Frau Schmitt here, and I’m quite petite, – so there’s a big contrast there too. The Madame, Mzz. HarPerson is very strict – well she likes to think she is, – but a lot of us slip out for a breath of fresh air, especially after that Prezza person visits, and puts his sweaty hands EVERYWHERE.
Got a light?
I’ve just had this dreadful thought.
Once Brown leaves No 10 for good, it will have to be closed for months whilst it is fumigated and all the piles of shit and snot removed.
Who’d want to move straight in after that tosser has been there….???
I’d move in tomorrow.
It was a Herculean task to clean out the Augean Stables, but we’ve got Cillit Bang these days.
Cilit Brown and your wealth is gone!
The carpets will need a bit more than just Shake’n'Vac after this episode.
Guido has uncovered yet another plotter within our government, as he reveals the truth about Gordon Brown and his many spin minions who seem to sit up half the day and night typing emails to one another in attempts to smear people in politics.
Yea verily I say unto them, that they shalt have their comeuppance the bastards!
Ex-Number 10 political press officer Damian McBride, has apparently been up to no good. It is alleged he has been sending heretic letters and scandalous notes of ruinous ideas, to one other dimwitted smearjunkey who travels by the name Draper. Another ex-Gordon Brown minion, or [shit spredder to you and me], by some despicable secret device known only secretly as a ‘computer.’ This secret devise can apparently transmit messages through the air from the sender in an instant, and can be received by scanning devices known as ‘email IN BOXES’ anywhere in the world if the receiver has one of these dastardly devices at hand!
Of course these devices are secret, however 70% of the population apparently has one and is being monitored, so if you have one, I implore you not to use it to spread shitty little lies about people, otherwise Guido and his supporters will undoubtedly catch you and place you in the laughing stocks at Westminster at a place known as Number 10. As is the case of one notorious shit spredder one Damian McBride, who is apparently a “juvenile” and obviously a delinquent if he believes such immoral taxpaying skulduggery will go unpunish-ed.
It appears already, that the press are about to have a field day with this smearmonkey as our skulking varlet Prime Minister Gordon Brown has expectantly tried to spin down the matter by indicating it wasn’t with his blessing. However, the sending of such garbage from the Number 10 computer, leads one to question whether he is up to his eyes in smear campaigning too, given that he is expected to herald a general election sooner rather than later sometime within the next 10 to 12 months?
I imagine, these fellows who cock their snook at their fellow men who meet their wage bill, will likely be sat up half the night at their secret devises, dreaming up more smear tactics and generally keeping abreast of the outpourings of others. I have no doubt for instance, that they will read Guido’s blog to see what he is saying, and I imagine there’s a whole department set aside to ad lib their vaccuous peurile comments on there and other intelligent forums under the guise of anonymity.
So keep it up Guido. All decent bloggers who respect the truth, are counting on you to maintain your lines of enquiry and to dispel this myth which anonymous Labour supporters would have us believe, that this government works for anyone other than itself.
Agreed.
I know you’re teasing Guido, and you may even be teasing with the intention of making a few bob – I dont’ begrudge you that – but if I was you, I’d get the content of these mails in the public domain ASAP. Even distribute them to a few dozen friendlies. Take a look at wikileaks.de. See what these people can do, when they want to.
Don’t think that your shop window will remain unbroken forever, dont’ think they can’t block you, or fuck with your DNS, or lean on your host.
Get it out there.
Right on the button Frank. Guido should publish now and let it all hang out.
If the story is big enough, accurate and strikes enough chords it will promote itself and him.
Look at what Hannan did by telling the truth in spite of an msm blackout.
If he publishes them here (or on wikileaks) it stays an internet story that several thousand (10s of thousands?) see and get angry about but which is generally ignored by the msm. When one of the sundays prints the emails on the front page then the rest have to pick it up – look at what has happened since the telegraph ran with this story.
In addition – Jeff Randall, what are you doing? Please leave the telegraph and stick to Sky. You are the only reason I still read (until today) that paper.
I hate being obvious, but I will be: IT IS ALL OVER FOR LABOUR, FOR EVER.
Only once they and their leaders are dragged literally from their seats at Westminister and their desks in Whitehall, down the streets at the end of strong ropes and hanged in a very public place, only then will people be safe, otherwise, like mushrooms, they will resurface.
And like mushrooms they thrive in shit and prefer being in the dark
Nice one Guido, hope you don’t answer any calls from the BBC
The BBC have even put a link to your blog on the news.bbc.co.uk site.
I can’t wait to see the stat p0rn for April.
Happy Easter, Guido!
A BBC link? Respect, Guido. Perhaps at this Eastertide they also have undergone a sort of conversion.
They know the game’s up.
When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.
right but BBC pravda have no balls
It must be a traffic spike worthy of Max Mosley at the NOTW :)
Your facts came from an FOI reqest didn’t they Guido?
I suspect that Guido already had the e-mails and the FOI request was a trap. Why else would Guido pointedly remind McBride that “it would be a criminal offence to destroy the information requested.”
Dear Christ, what a beautiful sight this is for my tired old eyes; Window Lickers Anonomous are in full flow today. Reading the verbiage from nutty right-wing loop-the-loops is indeed…
Fucking delicious!

I presume the apparent disappearance of the nasty Labour Troll “The Inquisition” has something to do with this. He/she/it came across as a Geheim Staatspolizei type engaged in dirty tricks in the Computer Warfare Section of the New Labour/Police conspiracy. Done a runner or busy explaining in the bunker? Maybe it was Quick himself?
Blair’s premiership is turning out almost exactly as predicted in my book “Boom and Bust” – contact me for a free copy on nigel_bowker_917@hotmail.com.
Oh Guido you are awful!
But I like you.
You old tease.
Seems that you can no longer access Draper’s facebook page from his personal website.
This should be the time of maximum publicity: the launch of his book “Life Support”, and continued work on Labourlist/etc etc. Looks like everything has unravelled very quickly for him.
One should be careful with fantasists: when they fall, they fall hard.
He’ll need more than life support matey.
What fucking twats they are in No. 10.
I thought they were meant to be doing all they can, every waking hour, ceaselessly working for the good old HardWorkingFamilies.
Fucking bunch of amateur cocks.
Fuck off.
I thought they were meant to be doing all they can, every waking hour, ceaselessly working for the good old HardWorkingFamilies.”
Well Anon-if you EVER “thought”that, then there is NO hope for you!
Keep up at the back, there!
It’s the breathtaking amateurishness of it all that gets me. And the spiteful crappiness of it all. Labour truly is the nasty party.
Am looking forward to reading details of the emails and all those involved as much as anyone but in the meantime I genuinely find myself wondering if there is anything on God’s earth that Labour generally, and no. 10 in particular, can get right. Is there anything that they do or with which they are associated that doesn’t turn out to be a lame fuck-up? Ineptitude at every level; they can’t even arrange a dirty trick without it falls on its arse.
And does Brown think these people are cool dudes? Does he think they are clever and reliable? What does he think stuff like this, executed by arrogant tossers like McBride and Draper, says about his judgement? What does it say about the judgement of No. 10 whose first reaction is merely to label this episode ‘juvenile’? And is it ‘innapropriate’ merely because it is juvenile or because of what was proposed in respect of Cameron & Osborne? Perhaps we should be told. If Brown doesn’t see McBride off it suggests that he condones his actions: there’ll always be the suspicion that, like Nixon, he knew what was going on. And Draper! When will No. 10 get the message about him. When will they see notice that everything he touches really does turn to shite.
Under the false pretence of intellect, Brown has the mindset of a 70s student-union activist, where he still metaphorically carries house-bricks in Co-op bags to parties, in order to fool people into thinking he’s “bringing soemthing to the party”. He’s never done a proper job in his life and lives in some parallel universe – how we have ended up with this complete and utter imbercile as PM I will never, ever comprehend.
Unfortunately for us & for decent people everywhere, the 70’s student-union activist bullyboy has now got power into his sweaty little mitts, without the intellectual capacity to realise that with power comes responsibility. And as he is surrounded by a cohort of like-minded intellectual pygmys, they are just feeding into his delusional fantasies that he is a great leader and that the end justifies the means – typical really of the inadequate scum that gather round psycopathic dictators everywhere, Hitler & his supporters Himmler & Roehm and Stalin also had a load of bottom-feeders around him.
Numbering and replies are fucked again, orphaned replies etc.

Awesome Guido! I’m very impressed. I can’t wait to see how many scalps this claims. could this bring down the government? may’be not , but its still highly entertaining. Good to hear you on today just now also Guido. I hope to see you on a few TV shows before the weekend is out
Prediction:
No sackings!

Well if McBride is paid by the tax payer and has been using his working hours to sling shite then he has to go. as do I since Mrs Fletcher is insistant we go away for some of this weekend. So saldy I will have to follow events via the MSM. All power to Guido. I Bet Brillo will be on the phone to him soon.
“Compare The Smear Twats Dot Com”
Applause!
utterly brilliant! First class
ROTFLMAO
Guido, this is solid Public Interest stuff as you well know.
“Civil Servants” who are in truth highly partisan political foot-soldiers and assassins. It is a disgrace and a direct result of Tony Blair’s “presidential” mentality.
This is a strike at the root. Top drawer. Be safe.
I’m not an exppert but if McBride is officially employed as a “Civil Servant” then his position is surely untenable if he has been found to be engaging in “political smears” and he has to go under the “Civil Service Code” ? (Although I won’t be holding my breath on this one a of the economy)
Donal Blayney seems to have answered my question . See below
http://donalblaney.blogspot.com/2009/04/civil-service-code.html
What fun.
Guido mentioned by the Beeb!
Mmmmm Westminster must be rattled, not enough to raise their snouts from the trough though!
Still on the take, still taking the UK taxpayer for a ride.
You keep voting they keep taking!
Nothing much new in this story we all knew Nulab were scum anyway!
Guido said
“Not a penny is changing hands. This is for pleasure, not profit.”
You sadistic bastard, he he. Can I have Drapers eyes?
And of course you believe every word of your messiah.
Perhaps you should remember that one of his first posts was about the capture of Bin Laden.
bin liner?
Osama works in the ‘Bombay Butler’ in Stansted Mountfitchet. I saw him in there soon after 9/11, he was in the kitchen reading The Daily Mail.
Keep up the good work, I’m sure Dolly will award you a star for your badge soon.

Do think you can produce a suitable piece on Andrew Piece who would seem to have thoughts to being a serious political diariest rather than the lightweight journo he really is.
I’m new to your blog Guido; but not any longer! Keep up the excellent work! Just listened to you being interviewed on Today by James Naughtie and did my usual: shouted at the radio, railed against Gordon Brown, lambasted politics and politicians generally. The world is going barking mad. Here’s a £1 – Let’s Go! (you’ll recall this as a famous Henry Root rallying call)!!
Wet fish anyone?
okay there is alleged big story here .. where is it ? is the alleged “it all happening” blogosphee just a cueing up the dead tree press — master and servant………
Dolly, you should learn where the shift key is so you can then use CAPITALS. Makes it less obvious when you are trying to be anonymous.
Still, you’ll have lots of time soon for a bit of re-training.

you’d better not go alone
It’s lovely down in the woods today…

Is the Bride married?
If he’s Labour, probably not. Too fucked up in the head.
Gordon Brown and the vile crew around him have been using smear tactics against their political opponents for years, not least against other members of the Labour Party.
Such tactics are no less than corruption and are a cancer at the heart of British politics. Let us hope that, having been caught bang to rights this time they will pay the appropriate penalty.
Also coming out of this nasty business very badly are certain lobby journalists like Andrew Porter of the Telegraph who appear to be little more than government mouthpieces.
It illuminates very clearly the corrupt heart of this appalling government.
..Draper bath? Cyanide Fumigation more like it.
Anon 251 I thought you were serious about Drooper looking smart on holiday! He looks like someone you’d warn your kids against.
I find it impossible to believe that Gordon Brown didn’t know what was going on and probably inititated the whole smear conspiracy himself.
He will have to sacrifice McBride and possibly one or two others next week, but will it get him off the hook?
I wouldn’t put anything past snotty. A vile piece of work trying to make up for his lack of everything human. He truly is a prize Hoon.
Which is worse? The fact he is denying it, which implies he has no control over his minions, or that the whole operation was given his tacit blessing?
Personally, I believe he MUST have known what these twats were up to, after all he has ‘form’ in regard to smearing, like 10 years of bagging off Blair. McTwat is a control freak, micro managing his way to power over all those years. These wasters are the product of his efforts – a man can be judged by the company he keeps.
So has the BBC any info about new labour or downing street having info from camerons or browns medical records?
There is a nice poll on labouroneoffthewrist.bollox with comments.fill your boots.
Presumably it will be shown that the content of McBride’s emails is not exactly juvenile. Therefore it seems it may be assumed that it is McBride himself and his actions which are considered to be juvenile. Not exactly great qualifications in a ’special advisor.
“special advisor”? Brown is ’special needs’ for sure.
A spectacular backfire by the ever reliable, ever greasy Mr Draper and his million chimpanzees all busy typing away at labourlist.
A great job Mr Fawkes – please don’t let go of the jugular just because you can sense the death-throws.
BBC reporting this story, statement from No10, followed by hurried brief description, no questions/debate, BBC political correspondant ross hawkins cut short by breakfast team sonnil and charliel, with abrupt ‘ross we’ll leave it there’. onto uninteresting, long winded, two guest’s, about drop in airport use.
The BBC must start understanding the anger felt by us mere mortals, at this crass obtuse government, expenses, corruption, lack of vision, lack of integrity, sleaze, lying, smearing, it just goes on and on.
i just cant help thinking if this was a conservative goverment you wouldn’t hear the end of it, every tom dick and harry giving their opinion, riots in the streets…..i’m getting beyond angry.
You can rely on us – Gordon .
You’re beautiful Guido! But where is Harman Pride today? I feel deprived and want a laugh at his posts,
Much too early – the “Dollybots” don’t get up until after lunch – Friday is Half Price Booze Night in the Uni Bar !!!
It’s nursery school in the morning
The real point in all this is, will we have to wait a year or will it all implode sooner?
Eileen I think there’s a very real chance that it will come apart before the next election. The biggest danger to them despite the breaking of this latest scandal remains the truly dreadful mess they have made of the economy.
No matter how many lies they tell and how much spin they pump out the list on the ship is now very discernable. Boarded up high street shops, closed businesses and soaring unemployment. These are things everyone can clearly see and simply can’t be spun or manipulated away. They are still in denial about this to themselves let alone the public. A good old fashioned Sterling or Government borrowing crises could finish them off.
Has it occurred to you that you have been used by McBride and Dolly to circulate these smears? It may be that the actual conspiracy was to get you to expose the “conspiracy”. McBride gets to circulate the allegations about Cameron and Osborne while, at the same time, claiming that he never intended to circulate them — it was just “larking about”. As things stand, one of the Sundays will almost certainly print the emails, using the Guido vs Dolly angle as cover. Who sent you the emails in the first place? Are you sure it wasn’t an agent of McBride’s?
Have you disapeared up your own fundament yet?
Interesting theory and precisely what else is happening on your Planet Zog today?
Guido, any truth in the rumour that some of these emails concern the issue of child abuse?
asking your friend to “pull my finger” then farting is juvenile
a senior civil servant allegedly conspiring to smear the leader of the opposition is something very different
This is nothing new – Brown’s toadies have spent 15 years smearing their perceived enemies with the probable knowledge and approval of the political Jabba the Hutt festering away at the centre of it. Someone has finally called them out.
The Telegraph article is a disgrace – a clear plant trying to pre-empt damage tomorrow.
If McBride is a civil servant then he is fucked and it provides concrete evidence of what many have long suspected – that Labour has corrupted and politicised the upper echelons of the Civil Service.
Is it just me or is Brown the most disgusting political animal of the last 30 years. Thatcher’s strident hectoring and Blair’s glib evasiveness were bad enough but Brown makes my flesh creep. The sooner he is removed from office the better.
While I hope and pray that this stuff really is dynamite and harms Labour, I find it rather amusing that some of you are furious that a Labour official is peddling rumours about the mental health of a politician’s relative yet there are countless unsubstantiated claims about Brown’s mental health on this site.
Aside from a civil servant acting politically, there is nothing claimed by McBride about the Tories that is worse than what you lot write about Labour. Funny that.
By the way, have the emails been passed to Cameron and Osborne yet?
Jude (the obscure)
Nothing to see here then? These bastards have been in for 12 years doing this sort of shit. That not bother you at all?
“furious that a Labour official is peddling rumours about the mental health of a politician’s relative yet there are countless unsubstantiated claims about Brown’s mental health on this site.”
Brown is in a position of responsibility. The relative probably isn’t, so it’s completely differnet.
Brown’s behaviour and actions are observable too – that’s how we know he’s mad.
“Aside from a civil servant acting politically, there is nothing claimed by McBride about the Tories that is worse than what you lot write about Labour.
ASIDE!!!!! ASIDE!!!!! You are an utter hoon. There is a world of difference and this situation goes not only to the heart of No 10 but our very constitution. A situation worse than this at the heart of government is hard to imagine well it would be if Labour were not in Government.
so just fuck right off already.
Hey Jude, don’t make it bad, take a sad song and make it better…or better still, fuck off and die…
Fucking delicious!

WTF!!!
Whatever have you done to upset the Telegraph Guido?
I know one of its writers and am off to tell them its about to lose my custom if it doesn’t lay off you!
I’ve just read Andrew Pierce’s potted comparison of Guido and Dolly in the smellygraph. Biased or what? I’m off to my newsagent to cancel my order for the rag. It’s been coming for some time but this is the last straw.
Stopped buying it 18 mnths ago after DT went towards McMental…they lost my money after 40 years of custom, hoons!!
The turning point for me was when the Telegraph got rid of Mark Steyn back in 2006 for being a wee bit too outspoken.
Let the Telegraph die along with all the other MSM who have aided and abetted the post war fuck up of this country.
Seen the pic on the front of the mail? They look like a couple of yobs from a sink estate.
Brilliant. You couldn’t make it up or put it on your expenses.
well you certainly could not make it up but …
Intreresting stuff. Sad to see the Telegraph used in such a cynical way.
Telegraph has form.
Saturday Telegraph’s arts review section was always worth reading – OT, whereas Grauniad arts reviews are only ever about Grauniadistas’ navels. Can’t say the same for the front pages, etc, ever since they put out the story of Galloway being a special pal of Saddam – a palpably obvious plant, and a lie which Galloway eventually nailed, but which served its specific and insidious purposes of smearing.
Those who live by the shite clearly ought to die by the shite too.
This has made my morning! Go get ‘em, Guido!
there is now a link on the telegraph site to some blog called redrag.net there is also another blog called theredrag.co.uk
OT but critically analysing the LabourList logo – the red “L” appears to be an arrow pointing backwards – fucking shite whoever drew it
Don’t you just love it when Pre-emptive Denials are issued so rapidly?
Especially when they’re apologising for the ‘wrong’ accusation!
Have just seen the print Telegraph. Two ‘box-outs’ on pg 2 by Andrew Pierce. One neutral/kind to Draper, the other a lamentable smear on GF.
Feeling dirty this morning, Andrew?
My greatest horror is that these nasty people are in charge of this Country. So the reasons why we are becoming the cess pit of the world is not so surprising after all.
Link and summary from Wibbler at PB:
Here is the interview on the Today programme.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7994000/7994609.stm
It suggests
- they agreed a fall guy if things went wrong
- they orchestrated the order in which the smears were to be published
- one Conservative MP will see their lawyers on Tuesday and sue for defamation
- some of the emails will not be publishable
by wibbler April 11th, 2009 at 10:29 am
some of the emails will not be publishable
Just wondering why? Or are they that bad.
Congratulations on outing these creeps Guido.
Keep up the good work.
I see Oborne has been sent in by Dacre to do a job on Cameron and the Tories
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1169141/PETER-OBORNE-Sorry-Tory-election-victory-far-certain.html
Seems ‘they could throw it away’ and a ‘hung parliament is still most likely’.
Keep this in mind. The middle class university graduates that run the media and NuLab hate the ‘county’ and ‘public school’ set because they never quite recovered from their first meeting with them at fresher’s week.
The vaulting confidence of the public school set stunned those from the leafy boroughs who, until then, had been masters of the their own little universe.
The media think that because they – for example – hate Boris J, everyone will share their view. ‘I mean its obvious innit?’
The media/Labour campaigns at Crewe and the attempts by the Guardian to stop Boris will be repeated in the GE. The results will be same too.
On the first day of Cameron’s landslide, the tone will be mystified and sceptical.
F*ck me, the liberal middle classes are such complete c*nts.
You should read this more as a warning against complacency, to help encourage people to go out and vote Tory when they get the chance.
It would be something of a shame if nulab sneaked a win again.
Did you notice Guido that at one point on the BBC you were promoted from ‘blogger’ to ‘internet commentator’?
The political challege facing the Tories is to seperate McBride from Brown in a manner where it is in McBride’s interests to tell the truth about how much Brown knew about this. People would not be surprised to hear that mid-level apparatchiks in each party sometimes lose the run of themselves in trying to bring down thiri opponents. But I think that people would be surprised if they thought that their PM was directly involved in such stuff. Only honest testimony from McBride can answer that question.
I don’t know if McBride may have committed a crime (misfeasance in public office?) but if the import of this web-thread is true he must have exposed himself to a possible libel charge. If so. someone should sue. In court, he would be under a sub poena obligation to answer questions truthfully. He would have to indicate the extent (if any) of Brown’s involvement. A drawn out court case which had this question hanging over it would be poison for Brown’s prime ministership. It would be his equivalent of the Hutton Inquiry.
Conclusion: if the import of comments on this thread are true, one clever political response from the Tories might be to sue for libel. But wait a week or two before making the matter sub judice so that the first round of political damage can be done!
Is not our great leader rather anal in more ways than one??
That has really made my day. Well done Guido. Go for it!
Completely unable to find any reference to this story on the Guardian website. Have they suddenly lost all interest in blogging?
They never had much interest if it doesn’t suit them. Comment is Free, don’t make me laugh.
The Guardian thinks its readers are more interested in a couple of SriLankan students who have apparently decided to call off a planned hunger strike, prematurely some might say.
And i could not believe the hypocracy of the BBC to be more concerned on how the emails may have been leaked , rather than the content and implications of the emails themselves.
Then again, perhaps i am not surprised.
Gordon
Do not despair Guido, the feeble Telegraph piece looks to me like a token “spoiler” produced by the editor to demonstrate to the Telegraph’s owners that he is attempting to undermine the oncoming Sunday coverage by other papers, presumably including the Sunday Times. If anything, it will incresse the impact of the Sunday coverage.
Just posted on pb.com:
A smear operation run out of 10 Downing Street (by a civil servant)involving the setting up of a deniable website (Red Rag) to get stories (revolting slanders) about the Prime Minister’s opponents (Cameron, Osborne, etc) into the public domain.
These are the facts. The emails prove every aspect. They will be in tomorrow’s papers.
There are other emails that I haven’t seen, nor has the media. I’m told they include proposed attacks on Lib Dems, orders from McBride to LabourList to ‘get’ certain journalists and bloggers critical of the PM and a vicious allegation against a Labour ex-minister.
Cesspit isn’t the word for it.

Though their online site names you the BBC radio reports merely refer to you as a “right wing blogger”. Apart from the fact that this is intended to downplay you & thus the story (a tactic ued, for example with Fikret Abdic the most popular Moslem politician inn Bosnia but not a fundamentalist nutter & thus not on our side who was alwyas called a “local warlord”, never by name.
It is also the BBC jealousy of an upstart medium – blogs, once again, having been responsible for a major story. The BBC refer to the Telegraph by name rather than hiding under the title “a right wing newspaper”.
“Right wing newspaper?”
Do me a favour, sunshine!

I read the Telegraph online….or rather, I used to, before they became New Labours whore.
I accept that New Labour will sink to any depths in order to maintain power, It’s not a shocj anymore, but the respectable press of Britain should know better. I hope this incident sinks New Labour and any media organisation fucked up enough to go along with them.
oops, I clicked too soon and didn’t put my name…king Chillout
Well done Guido
This time the Plot was prefectly exceuted,
the gunpowder is perfectly placed under Gordon Brown and his conspirators,
and the stupid bastards have even lit the fuse for you!

Essay from Bastiat (with foreword by Hayek on previous page).Read that and the others following and laugh at the delusion of generations of Socialist fools.
The actual story has to be good. To drip leak it is giving too much time to the perpetrators to get their story right. It allows for spin. That seems to be what is happening right now. Unless of course that is what was/is intended.
It better be good though, real good.

Guy Fawkes! But I smell a “Continuity of Government” jobby, whereby the Smear is organised & released to try and redefine the faded line between Tory and New Labour. Is this all staged by any chance?
Yes, you’ve got it, everything, even pre-emptive raids on addressed in Leeds, manchester & Liverpool can be dressed up and stage-mangaged, and probably were since if you look at the ‘Operation Pathway’ documents, you see that Birmingham was also listed. No raids took place on the early date in that City. Why not? Surely if a real plot existed contiguously in all the locations, then all those locations should be targetted? No, it’s what you can wangle together on the fly in the last minute, sufficient enough to dupe and win over the herd for another week.
But who was this guy fawkes anyway?
Up until the 1950’s it was illegal not to celebrate Guy Fawkes’ November the 5th. It was a compulsory holiday, and it was also enshrined in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, in other words, the state religion of which the Queen is the head. There was a special church service for November 5th that focused around Gunpowder Treason and the miraculous deliverance of King James from this plot. But wait don’t we all know that Fawlkes’ plot was stage-managed and though he was tortured for his ‘crimes’ what we find recorded of the actual plot is ..
In the London Daily Telegraph, May 4th 1978, they found in the public record office, a receipt of the war office dated November 7th, 1605, two days after the discovery of the so-called plot, they found first of all that it was not gunpowder, but corn-powder, corn-powder was an inferior version of gun-powder, it had bigger grains, it didn’t give you that much bang for the buck. It’s a little bit like these home made fertilizer bombs, something more like that.
How will you keep the herd believing in fake democracy in the land of Orwell, Huxley —1984 and a Brave New World? Just running out of time, that’s the main concern of politicians.
That’s your real worry, N’est-Pas!
This organised smear operation has Gordon Brown’s grubby fingerprints all over it.
Gudio mate.. make sure you are NEVER alone.

I see dolly voted for himself
Twice.
I wonder if we might be able to to pay off the national debt by emptying the swear-box at Number 10. Just a thought :)
Thye real story here is not that some sad, cretinous Nu Lab tosser has, with taxpayer’s money and Brown’s connivance, been repulsively smearing the main opposition party, but that the Guidoisation of politics is unstoppable!
Tumbril, anyone?
Good work with the leak, Guido, but one error – McBride isn’t a civil servant. Hence why he can be political.
http://donalblaney.blogspot.com/2009/04/civil-service-code.html
My recollection is that McBride is a “special Advisor” and covered by Civil Service Code which carefully limits political activity even by Special Advisors – if he’s not a Special Advisor then he’s even more screwed I’m afraid
Yes he is – a SpAd, paid for with our taxes.
Just goes to show how pathetic Incapability Brown and his clan are and also how much of a threat some of us are to these worms.
p.s.
Well done Guido for getting their backs up!!!!
This is now the lead story on the BBC.
Guido, you look much much better that you did on the D P show.
What will be the body & Nokia count by the end of today???
WELL DONE, WOULD HAPPILY BUY YOU A PINT ANYTIME!!!
Incidentally, have I ever mentioned that I might have pork sworded KD when I was seventeen???? :-)
FFS! BBC News 24 just described you as “Conservative blogger”. What utter nonsense.
this is all part of the coverup and still trying to smear. The probelm is people will believe this as BBC go into max pedal mode. Labour are ever so slowly with the help of the BBC to turn the story bit by bit on it’s head.
The emails better be naplam coated thats for sure or by tomorrow it will be the Tories who were tring to smear labour.
What is a “deniable website” please?
A sock-puppet site you can pretend is nothing to do with you.
Guido on SKy now!
If Guido wasn’t holding out for the cash from News International, surely he’d put them up now?
Am I right to find this rather worrying? Haven’t these civil servants got better things to do with their time than spread these unfounded rumors? To add further insult to our intelligence, we the tax payers, are paying these idiots wages!
Great blog Guido! Thank God for freedom of the press!
Guido you were very good on Sky!
You’re on my telly
Hanging is too good for the wretched parasites that inhabit Westminster.
Nice work on Sky Guido, you’re getting better at this TV lark. Has Brown been phoning up Murdoch – given the abysmal questioning that you were getting?

Lee Majors plays Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. He uses his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects (especially stunts involving cars or his large GMC pickup truck) to capture fugitives and criminals. He is accompanied by his cousin and stuntman-in-training Howie Munson, and occasionally by fellow stunt performer Jody Banks (played by Heather Thomas).
Typically, an episode starts with Seavers’ crew performing a stunt for a film or TV series. They are then assigned to finding, for example, a man who has skipped bail. His case turns

In the course of dealing with the villains, Seavers performs a stunt similar to the one shown at the beginning of the show.quent cameos by Hollywood celebrities and the occasional in-joke referring to Majors’ previous series, The Six Million Dollar Man.
It sounds like the proposed website would have been laughable shit anyway – I hope they go ahead with it. Keep up the good work my friend!

One of the advantages of linking the National Identity Database with the NHS database is that people in Brown’s bunker will be able to leak embarrassing medical facts about any person who gets up their nose. Not just the Tory front bench, but local campaigners against airport runways or ‘eco-towns’, for example. All the apparatus of total repression is gradually being assembled and our last defence is their incompetence.
The Somerset in-laws (where I am currently roosting) are most excited by all this, to the point that have broached a gallon of scrumpy to wash down the Bombay mix as they sit nervously by the computer monitor breathlessly awaiting developments.

They omit the “throwing at a wall in 10 Downing Street” test for resilience – still, you can see what they’re getting at with some of the tests.
Just watched you on Sky Guido. Why was the interviewer trying to play this story down? I’m appalled that our hard earned money is being wasted on smear campaigns by this Government! Wish I could say I was shocked and surprised, but I’m not.
Watch your back, steer clear of dark corners.
I think you’re releasing this in the right way, Guido. Whilst i’m desparate to see the content, with the way this is running as the top story on the BBC news on the telly, has the front page of one of the Saturday’s and should be all over the Sunday’s, it means that a potential wealth of new readers should come to the site. As can be seen already in a few comments, new people are travelling through and realising there is more than just the BBC as a news source. No MSM would willingly publicise blogs heavily but if you get the scoop then they have no choice. Will be interesting to hear what traffic you get through this easter weekend.
Thats what happened to me. I found this site about a year ago because it was mentioned in a news story. Since then I found dozens of web sites, newspapers in other countries, and sources of information that are not state controlled here. I have to use critical faculties, I understand that opinions of bloggers are not “facts”, but as a regular reader I also realise that what passes for facts in MSM is mere opinion or worse – unedited press release.
That’s why they have new snooping powers. Its because they are afraid of us getting information they don’t control. We are like the animals in Manor Farm peeking through the window at the end.
Four legs good!
is he scotch? i can’t take any more of this scotch raj.
yep he’s a bagiper there all scruffy McHaggiseaters
This went on another post for some reason.
Well done on Sky News just now Guido. She obviously had her No 10 list of questions but you handled her well, very well indeed.
Has anyone got this as a YouTube file?
How hostile was Laura Dunkley to Guido on Sky News just then? It seems most, if not all, the MSM are seriously rattled by the bloggers hijacking the political news agenda.
Good on you Guido – tell it to them straight.
Donal Blaney has a very interesting post on his blog right now. It includes the SpAd’s Code of Conduct, which includes this wording:
“5. Special advisers should conduct themselves with integrity and honesty. They should not deceive or knowingly mislead Parliament or the public…”
“6. Special advisers should not use official resources for party political activity… They should avoid anything which might reasonably lead to the criticism that people paid from public funds are being used for party political purposes.”
He also makes the point that MacBride must be SOMEONE’s SpAd, so sho is that? Is it McMental himself?
No doubt Andrew Marr will aggressively assault whichever Labour toadies get on his show tomorrow on this point. (I wonder whether he will have anyone from the Labour Party on? He’s usually so biased towards the Conservatives, isn’t he?)
Andrew Marr? He’s a champaign socialist mate. Sure you’re not thinking of Andrew Neil?
Hope you’ve got your solicitor on speed dial! Expect a raid by the anti-terrorist squad very soon. Can’t have this type of information getting out into the public domain can we. Brown no doubt regretting Quick resigning, you’d already be locked up if he’d still been around.

Way to go, Mr Fawkes! I read this story this morning and thought there was something very fishy about the stance the Telegraph was taking. The establishment is really rattled, keep digging.
Anyone got a link for the Guido interview on Sky. I missed it and don’t really want to watch anything else.
Bring on tomorrow’s News of the World !
Fuck me I hate everything Liebour have done to this country …..please call an election you bunch of lying scumbags.
is the interview up on sky website yet?
I think your lawyers will be pleased to hear from you!
I do not think the Telegraph lawyers will be!

Sky News “e-mails obtained by the controversial political blog, Guid Fawkes”
Seeking the truth is “controversial” in Brown’s Britain.
well done guido…….it is all over the media…..
A Downing Street spokesman said: “Neither the Prime Minister nor anybody else in Downing Street, except the author, knew anything about any of these private emails.
“The author of these emails has apologised for their juvenile and inappropriate nature and for the embarrassment caused.”
He added: “All staff will be reminded of the appropriate use of Number 10 resources.”
+++++++++++++++++++
well that’s ok then. anyone doing anything wrong can say they are sorry and just carry on regardless.
or someone can get us to pay for his porn films and he apologises to his wife……..not the people who paid for it……..
is this a new govt. rule?
( to blend in with the 3000+laws they have introduced).
meanwhile jc de menezes begged police to shoot him in the head seven times and ian tomlinson was a leader of al queda that just worked as an evening news seller as a cover. He was also a black belt in the martial art of attacking riot police with his hands in his pockets.
Brilliant! Brilliant! *#@?ing brilliant, Guido. Why not follow this coup up with a killer knockout punch about the nulab McCann case cover-up!
http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2009/04/maddie-what-lies-benneath-truth-trailer.html
one thing’s for sure – we’ll never see this programme on British TV!
We shall see the Channel 4 ‘documentary’ (!) made under the direction of G McCann, and put out under the Cutting Edge label.
For fairness, we should also see the Goncalo Amaral documentary (from the guy who was the policeman in charge of the case, until certain politicos had him removed from the case when he began to uncover embarrassing possibilities). More digging into past Nulab shennanigans please, Guido!
Yo Guido! That case stinks like a biiiiiiiiiiig soiled nappy. Hold your nose and look into it.
That’s one down and a fair few more to go, Guido. Why don’t you go for the big stink of the McCann case, then? Maybe you’d see off the big fellah!
Because there’s a bloody D-notice/DA-notice on anything about the MKCann
case, innit? Am I right, Guido, or am I right?
guido the guardian are saying the emails were SOLD…… sue them…. i will happily make a donation to any fighting fund.

Sorry but there is now way Labour are going to loose the next election.
They and their fellow travellers in the BBC , MSM and else where with a common purpose will just not allow it.
This story will be swept away (ignored) after a couple of weeks and it will be back to normal with the smearing intensifing up to the election.
Come election day as many commentators on this thread have pointed out, the fraudent postal votes will overwhelm the system
Welcome to “progressive” poltics.
Keep up the good work mate!
Im sick and tired of all these nasty smears, (forgive me Jade!), so Im off to join the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and become a swami (or similar…)
Cast off number one..
Old Mother Dale just been on Sky news about this. Brought up the smears from Dolly Draper that originated with McBride. According to him he thinks they will be sacked within a few days.
Not so sure of that…they are NuLab after all and chums of Gorgon. He’ll try to hang on to them as long as he can.
What do we expect from the most disgusting goverment ever didnt DerekDraper have a breakdown as did his grubby mate alister campbell now that DD has retrained as a psychologist maybe he ought to sit his fellow dross down and help with their delusions
Clearly people have been up to no good at Downing Street misusing email etc – but as for this moral outrage from Guido, Dale, Dizzy and everyone… COME OFF IT.
Only a few days ago Guido posted a video of Gordon Brown not shaking hands with a copper accompanied with the words. Looked like an awkward misunderstanding to me. Guido said: “How can anyone watching this (video here) not think Brown is socially autistic? The Prime Mentalist is an emotionally retarded weirdo”
But it’s the dirty Labour party who are implying that Tories are mentally ill. And how many implications are there on this blog, both in original posts and comments that Gordon Brown is an infantilist paedophile?
For all your whining about the BBC never reporting stories critical of Downing Street (what’s on their front page now, huh?) – the hypocrisy displayed by your blog posts, and hundreds of others, is what won’t be reported.
The trouble with the trouble you are causing is that when the Tories get to Downing Street, as is inevitable in June, you bloggers will have been complicit in lowering the tone and further dragging the political discourse into the mud. Your spotlight on these number 10 emails will only throw the spotlight on the tone and content of posts on this blog (where there are, of course, different rules) – which are just as bad as those emails by the spivs in Downing Street.
Wonder how many Tory MPs, future Tory MPs, researchers etc have posted comments they might regret on this website. Wonder who might be able to gain access to their details… there should be some exciting stories waiting for an incoming Tory govt.
All the s**t that you throw now will come back to haunt you, by the bowlful.
one comment and one only
I don’t pay for GF
I do for those hoons in No10 so just fuck off.
But the whole point of pointing out that Brown is a retarded weirdo is a FACT, not libel.
Back to the bunker, chimp.
Nope. New Labour are reaping what they sowed. And if the Tories prove to be just as bad I for one will be after them as well.
Do I hear the squeals of a cornered rat?
Boo hoo. Piss off back to the bunker.
Remember 1997? A new type of politics?
As sure as eggs is eggs dying governments get nasty.
The bloggers you name aren’t paid by the government or more to the point me are they? They’re not using No.10 emails are they? Guido might imply the great leader is mentally ill but he’s not in the pay of the Conservatives is he?
It goes to show the deep cynicism and paranoia that pervade your lot that you think everyone who is anti-government is in the pay of the Tories. If your going to throw “s**t” like that around you’d better have the bollocks to back it up.
McBride & Draper are doing their smearing NOW – not comments being resurrected from the days of their youth. McBride is being paid with taxpayers’ money. Now, having explained it in very simple words – please fuck off back to LabourLost – and don’t forget to contribute to Derek’s leaving present – unless of course you are Derek? If so, I hear you can get great help jobhunting if you apply for a Jobseekers Allowance – apparently McBrown is looking for loft insulators nationwide or how are you with ‘Would you like fries with that, sir?’
And as for ‘bloggers have been complicit’ if NuLabour & their venial supporters had not been the most corrupt, lying, thieving scum ever to disgrace the name of Parliament blogging would not have even started. And when the Torys do get it, there’ll still be a good 5 – 10 years of daily news stories about NuLabour & their corruption.
Mr Robinson?
Nick Robinson I presume?
You see contributions to this site as the cause of the problem, rather than a symptom.
The real problem is the unspeakable, lying filth we now have masquerading as the British Government and its disgusting lack of standards.
All we do is to rail against it. Guido does something far nobler – he supports democracy (remember that?) via the age-old medium of the Fifth Estate.
You can depend on one thing. That when the great Tory landslide, with the BNP in second place, takes place in 2010, stories of misdemeanour in government will begin to appear. It will be business as usual – only the targets will have changed.
And we, the people, will be grateful.
Damian Green’s bail period has been extended to 20th April – that’s two days before the budget. Possibly an announcement then will be an elephant trap to take attention off an explosive budget…
A devious government – the police, the civil service, the banks…is there anyone they haven’t got in their pockets?
It was originally reported as 2 months or beyond the Euro elections
Our source at PB.com has just posted this :
I understand that a Tory MP, smeared in the emails, is about to go public to demand resignations.
by Don April 11th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
His other 100% accurate predictions so far are here
That Hoon Draper talks to his reader like I spoke to my young ‘un when she was 3. It’s very telling.
By the way, the Telegraph appears to be the only “quality” paper that is not allowing email comments on this subject.
They know that their attempts to facilitate NuLab’s damage control is highly provocative to their readership.
Just wait until their readers do get a chance to comment, it will make very interesting (not to say amusing) reading in due course.
I just post on any story and if thousands do this then even though they don’t print them they sure as hell get the message.
“Gordon Brown is an infantilist paedophile”
Nick, you’d better be careful how you spread such disgraceful rumours!
Er, this is the sex pest anonymous site, isn’t it?
I saw you on Sky and it appeared to me that there was a clear attempt to down play the significance of this by the Sky news people who tried to make it appear as a bloggers spat rather than a clear politically orchestrated campaign attempt of downright lying and smears for political gain by the Labour Party.
Here’s hoping that it hits the fan on Monday, with a start in the Sunday rags?
Well done.
Afternoon all!
Just to let you know we’re watching you, and WE KNOW what you’re thinking!
Now move along quietly, – tell your family you might be gone some while, – and give your details to the constable at the end of the line there.

Everyone hereabouts is close to a joyous delirium of sorts. They scent a final victory over the forces of darkness, or at least the beginning of same.
Watson, McBride and Dolly may have inadvertently finished the job that Guido, Iain, Dizzy, OH and many, many, others had started long ago -viz. bringing a(n increasingly larger) number of ordinary voters’ attention to the disgusting manoeuvres of a government long past its sell-by date. Isn’t irony delicious.
PS Stay safe out there, Guido.

Can anyone recommend a good practitioner?
why are the bloggers leaving the big news and facts to the dead tree press
this is going to get nasty for labour. Not much better for their willing stooges. As I say elswhere,http://anon126.blogspot.com/2009/04/civil-service-libel-machine-caught-fun.html , all very amusing to see the labour wheels come off. But it is obscene that a civial servent should spread lies with the express intent to destory people. They do it aganst tory’s, but they also do it to destroy memebers of the public, David Kelly being the worst example.
That is the real scandel here.
anyway. great work Guido :)
Guido i’ve been reading this blog for years, since pretty much the beginning, your finest hour sir! well done
The best thing about the telegraph piece is that it introduces even more people to your blog guido :P
Guido, McBride was not a civil servant, he was a special advisor. Could you correct that in your story please?
Guido, McBride was not a civil servant, he was a special advisor. Can you correct that in your story, please?
This blog is like a breath of fresh air. Well done, your investigations are great to see in this day and age of apathy and slacktavism.
Emails seen by the News of the World show McBride and Draper schemed to spread false malicious stories that:
* Opposition leader David Cameron had an embarrassing illness
* Shadow Chancellor George Osborne’s wife was “emotionally fragile” just because she appeared upset at parties
* A Tory MP used his position to get publicity for lover’s business
* Involved allegations about female Tory MP Nadine Dorries and another named MP.
In the emails, McBride says: “We’ve got to keep up the momentum.”
http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/260618/Read-Brown-aide-shock-emails.html
Have just heard on the BBC that Damien McBride has resigned. Didn’t hear any details as to the spin the little men will put on it, but what an excellent result.
The Draper will probably try to claim it was all a Tory plot to smear the great world leader.
Keep up the good work Guido!
Oh dear,David Cameron has a sexual health illness,now aint that something.Didnt they teach them how to use condoms at Eton,he should demand his tuition fees back.
Oh! Big Deal! An utterly obscure figure (obscure to most of us, that is) is made to resign and you call it a triumph! I hope that Nadine’s legal advisors have warned her not to sue for libel unless she can assure them that she is the Virgin Mary (on a good day).
haha please tell me you just watched Liam Bryne being asked if Mc Bride will ever work in the labour party again……….total moron!!!!!! haha “i think that is th right conclusion”. Well done the BBC!!
Great work but don’t take your eye off the ball. Wouldn’t surprise me if Browns henchmen themselves leaked this story in the run up to the Sunday Papers ‘lets see how much ministers have screwed us over this week in expenses’. A diversionary tactic. By the way , on that subject it seems that the staunch socialist (when he’s not bedecked in finest ermine) Michael Martin , will be screwing us for an 8 grand fact finding mission to the UAE this easter.
Happy Easter
Damn it, I’m so sick of this Nu-Lab f**k-w**k that I’m going to state my case, perhaps a little prematurely:
There is a paedophile ring right at the very heart of New Labour, and it involves Blair and Prescott, that much I am absolutely certain of. Brown is possibly involved too, but if not, then he is/was certainly aware of it, at the very least.
I have some hard evidence, but so far it can’t be absolutely proved, and so it’s not enough to absolutely nail the bastards. It is known that someone else has video evidence, but they’ve gone abroad, and they won’t come forward with it unless certain conditions are satisfied. I’m trying to get those conditions met, which is very difficult as I’m not really in any position of power to do so, or to put it plainly, I cannot convince them to trust me. They’re scared, and I can’t blame them for that. Even if they trusted me, how can they know for sure that I wouldn’t be compromised by others?
But damn it, there is a paedophile ring at the very heart of New Labour, I know that much for sure.

No, Lanc, I assure you that I am being deadly serious, and that my comment was not meant as some sort of “double-bluff” from a Labour stooge. Guido has my utmost respect for what he has achieved today, and I salute him. What I have written is not intended as any sort of smear (indeed, I don’t see how you have arrived at such a conclusion at all). I detest New Labour, and I’m being totally serious here. Please reconsider.

508.
Mr Oik has come to the conclusion because it is an obvious one. Tell us the difference between ‘Cameron has got the clap’ and ‘Blair is a paedo’?
As it stands there isn’t any, one, the other, neither or both could conceivably be true, and why should we believe you.
As it stands you are on the level with someone who has just seen a flying saucer and is telling everyone down the pub, who all think you are a loony. Only Martians calling in for a quick half before closing time will redeem your reputation.

Oh please let it be true and please produce the evidence! Labour will be finished for ever.

There is a great deal of truth in all of this.
Jeremy Beecham of the LGA,formerly leader of Newcastle city council attempted suicide during the Shieldfield Child abuse scandal in Newcastle in the 90s and this scummy party tried to destroy my career to hide his behaviour.
5 kids id’d him and he only got off through a ‘deal’ which led to the abusers getting off and getting damages for defamation through G Bindman, another Solicitor and Nulabour luvee……….

Why is everyone involved in this conversation so unpleasant, what are they talking about and why can’t they get a life this Easter Sunday?
You’ll need to edit this post Guido since it’s now patent that the story was sold to the Sunday newspapers. Care to contribute to a worthwhile cause?

He (Mr Brown) also calls for anyone caught “disseminating inappropriate material” to automatically lose their jobs. 13/4/09 so, does this mean that all those grossly careless officials who ‘lost’ their laptops will also (quite properly) lose their jobs?
That certainly would logically fall under the heading of “disseminating inappropriate material”
See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8181/MI5-agent-loses-secret-papers-train.html
Where: “A secret agent has sparked a security alert by losing his briefcase on a train, … The loss follows a series of similar blunders which have seen a laptop computer stolen from another MI5 operative, an MI6 spy lose his computer in a tapas bar and a senior Army official’s laptop stolen at Heathrow.

More than 1,000 laptops have been lost or stolen from government departments in recent years, new figures have revealed.
Details of departmental losses were disclosed to MPs in a series of written ministerial answers to the House of Commons which reveal that at least 1,052 laptops have gone missing, including 200 in the last year alone.
The Ministry of Defence is one of the worst offenders, having had 503 laptops and 23 PCs lost or stolen since 1998, including 68 in 2007.
Scores of laptops have also gone missing from the Department of Health (151 since 2001-02); the Ministry of Justice and its previous incarnations (136 since 2001); and HM Revenue and Customs, which had 45 stolen in the last year alone.
The figures also do not include several departments, such as the Home Office, Foreign Office, Department for Transport or Department for Business, meaning that the losses could be much higher.
The Liberal Democrat spokeswoman for business, Sarah Teather, said…”The Labour government has a disgraceful history of recklessness with citizens’ data,”

Draper = Gollum
There will be no whitewash in the Brown House….
Guido, great performance from you on Sky just now. That Sky presenter, Lorna Dunkley, is a nauseating government stooge but you put her in her place.
It’s becoming clear that Brown himself is behind this attempted smear campaign.
Gabble = Draper = Gollum = Tim
How dare you smear Gollum
Dont slag off the mysterious…
See my Tony Blair Faith Foundation msg
“It wasnae nuthin t’do wi.me – “it started in America”
The e-mail names journalists who would be involved in the proposed smear campaign. No doubt the usual Labour stooges like Maguire and Micheal White would be amongst them, but, who else? Patrick Hennessy? Andrew Thomas?

Breaking News
BBC Radio 4 news: Tory MP Nadine Dorries is consulting her lawyers about smears made against her by senior figures in Downing St.
I wonder if this will reveal any Scottish element as the anti-SNP stuff in Scotland is beyond a joke especially in the Scotsman.
They went up against NADINE????
Bloody hell, that’s like headbutting a mine…
I’d go up against Nadine but for different reasons, fnarr, fnarr….
Don’t need to make up any anti-SNP stuff, those amateur buffoons shoot themselves in the foot everytime they open their gobs at Holyrood. Not fit to sit on a community council let alone govern.
