McPoison’s Going is Good for Political Standards

Tomorrow you will get a glimpse of how Brown’s henchmen really work.  Guido has done the rounds of all the broadcasters and Draper has been on some of them.  He even now just continues lying, it is not even very good lying.  His story changes all the time.  Remember how he lied to Guido and Andrew Neil on the Daily PoliticsHow can he have any credibility?  Why don’t decent Labour supporters get rid of him as their online champion?  Why on earth was he brought back?

McBride’s resignation statement is bordering on deranged in anger (Guido’s text messaged taunts to McPoison might have been cruel, but hey, this was payback for his contrived smears aimed at Dale and Guido).  Guido revealed the truth about how McBride operates, he lies about how Guido operates.

The idea that Damian’s poisonous smears were just a few juvenile jokes between old pals is the joke, this was a discussion as to the  sequencing of politcally motivated smears by experienced spin doctors.  In the know people include not only McBride and Draper but, for example, Charlie Whelan.  Whelan is no juvenile.

Stephen Pound says Guido is laughing all the way to the bank – actually Guido gave the story to the News of the World and the Sunday Times for pleasure not profit.  McBride claims in his resignation statement that stories he came up with he didn’t want in the public domain.  Lies. He had already put some of those stories in the public domain – as a very angry Nadine Dorries will testify.

Damian McPoison

McPoison accuses Guido of having Tory backers – it just shows that they just don’t get it – this blog was started for free, with no committee behind it, no plan, on a whim.   It is Guido’s plaything.  The Tories are rightly wary of Guido and incidentally they have a PR problem tomorrow – the last thing they want are half truths mixed with smears getting out into the open uncontrollably.  Coulson is apparently having kittens according to sources at his old newspaper.

Admittedly Guido is no naive innocent.  It was deliberate timing to launch this assault on Downing Street this weekend to fill the holiday news vacuum.  Nobody so far has commented on the irony that it was also this week that it became legal for the government to read all our emails.  Like Guido always says, people should not be afraid of their government, governments should be afraid of their people. Now where is that ’99 Premier Cru Grande Classe Margaux?

        It’s completely partisan for BBC to publish that resignation statement in full.

        It’s basically just giving him free political coverage to spread his filthy stories.

        If some minor conservative researcher was to resign – would they publish a letter full of allegations for him ? NO.

        f***ing BBC.

      A fellow was on his honeymoon near his favorite fishing lake and he would fish from dawn to dark with his favorite fishing guide.
      One day the guide, friend of many years, mentioned that the honeymoon seemed to be spent fishing.
      “Yes, but you know how I love to fish…”
      “But aren’t you newlyweds supposed to be into something else?”
      “Yes, but she’s got gonorrhea; and you know how I love to fish”
      A few hours later, “I understand, but that’s not the only way to have sex.”
      “I know, but she’s got diarrhea; and you know how I love to fish…”
      The following day: “Sure, but that’s still not the only way to have sex.”
      “Yeah, but she’s got phyrrea; and you know how I love to fish…”
      Late that afternoon, thoroughly frustrated the guide comments, “I guess I’m not sure why you’d marry someone with health problems like that.”
      “It’s ’cause she’s also got worms; and you know I just love to fish…”

      A middle aged businessman goes to see his physician. “Doctor, I’ve got this problem,” the man says. “My secretary, she loves to give blow jobs. Every morning when I get to work I get a blow job. She gives me a quick one before I leave for lunch. And before I leave work at the end of the day she really works me over.”
      “So what seems to be the problem?” the doctor asked.
      “Well, you see, my wife is a nymphomaniac,” the man continued. “I service her every morning when we get up. I go home for a quick half hour every day at lunch and then we have a marathon session each night before we go to sleep.”
      “I still don’t know what your problem is,” said the doctor.
      “You see Doc, every time I masturbate I get these dizzy spells.”

      Not a moment too soon, either. It is high time these poisonous parasites – that you and I have to pay for – were booted out, but I fear that won’t happen until the arch-plotter, McBust himself, has been unceremonicously kicked out of office. He’s in this up to his neck and anyone with a shred of honour would resign today and call an election. Some hope – he’s NuLiebour of course, where every waking minute is now spent trying to cling onto office at any cost.

      Also gratifying to hear this story go out on the World Service, several times, last night. This sickening news has gone around the world, so that no one can now been in any doubt about the rot at the heart of this utterly contemptible government.

      McBust’s legacy? The Prime Minister who demeaned his high office and made this country a laughting stock. He epitomises the profligacy, the incompetence and the scheming that is NuLiebour. If there is any justice at the next GE then this lot will be destroyed.

    Thank you. I really do not like being lied to, and I suspect that most people are the same. To read and hear the continuing lies after they have been caught shows them up as irredeemable.

    Even if they were just juevenile jokes between pals, McPoison was being paid for by our taxes! They were also still fictional smears, which their provenance gave credibility as far as many are concerned, and so it was a dangerous game for them regardless. The fact that they were intended to be used as smears just adds insult to injury – not only are they juevenile losers we pay, but scheming, plotting, slanderous, juevenile losers we pay.

    I am committed to wiping out lies in Parliament, and the system. Too much power is concentrated in people who have no duty or regard for the populace, and who use the populace as their personal slaves and why they appear frightened the day of the election.

    Good on you for releasing them, for pleasure. There can be no higher motive that I could append here. You have released them for the pleasure of the downtrodden, the disadvantaged and the most vulnerable in society so that they know what their government which they vote in, is utterly corrupt and worthy of their contempt and disgust.

      The Telegraph is now dependent on the Guardian Group for its printing – and its profits. There are now people from each company sitting on the same Board (of the printing company) and other linskl between senior staff etc. It’s therefore not an independent paper and no longer criticises the ‘Guardianista/BBC’ line.

      Black was bad enough – the Barclay Brothers have their fingers deep in a lot of pies (inc horseracing) where their motives are obscure, beyond the obvious bottom line. They are not in News Medfia for idealism, of any description, and imo they are dangerous people lacking a sense of responsibility. Thank God for the blogs and esp Guido’s since it’s becoming clearer and clearer that all the printed media are irredeemably biased and propagandist, as is the BBC etc. It’s only on sites such as this that we can get at the truth of what is really going on in ‘the corridors of power’

      The BBC can lie to most people about the causes of economic problems because they’re relatively complex for most people, but they can’t lie about this because everyone, even the most stupid of the stupid, can understand it.

    McBride’s resignation statement tells you all that you need to know.

    He admits using our tax money to smear political opponents with lies in the most nasty way possible, but that’s not his reason for resignation.

    His only reason for resignation was that he was found out and proved as the source, not that he’d done something wrong.

    His first statement saying that he was furious about the fact that somebody found out that he was doing truly evil things tells you exactly why nobody should ever vote labour again, because his whole stinking party is infested with that attitude, ie this kind of attitude which the whole of labour have adopted since 1997:

    “It’s fine to do truly evil things, in fact you can ruin the whole country if you like; it’s all fine; as long as you can lie about it, cover it up, or get the tax-funded BBC to hide it for you then just carry on screwing things up and hatching truly nasty plans against your own tax payers and your opponents.”

    Draper/McBride/Mandelson/Brown: Your putrid party and everything that it stands for is just *so* finished in 2010; everything that you all do just makes it worse. If I were you I’d hold an election immediately because given your current bunch of negligent sociopathic weirdo corrupt loonies at the helm, the only way for your party is down.

    Congrats Guido,

    You have played a straight bat and have consistently shown them up as the self serving shits that they surely are. Your readership numbers are about to go ballistic, and the whole Nulab internet strategy has backfired in an astonishing way. They do not understand that controlling the BBC and spinning to invested journalists is no longer enough to repress the authentic voices of the people.

    No political journalist has the balls to expose Hain, Expenses rip offs, Smith Institute and McBride the way you have done. I suggest that you put some links to your most piercing subjects on the front page, so that the new visitors can have their eyes opened to what is going on in Westminster.

    If Andrew Marr is reading this, as must now be compulsory at BBC, can I say to you:

    “You and your team of political journos have been made to look rubbish, by one man and a PC. Accept that your operation is crap and get to work on making it respectably good. Slagging off GF didn;’t work for Damien!”

    It beggars belief that a control freak like Brown did not know what his chief political stategist was up to. (See photo at pb.com) In fact an atmosphere in which this sort of activity occurs can only come from the top. The “Boss” will always set the tone (no pun intended!) in an organization. Especially one under so much adverse pressure. That Whelan was in the loop will make this so much harder for Brown to play McCavity and pretend it “wasnae nuthin t do with me”. Thank you Mr Fawkes for ensuring that this “sewage” saw the light of day.

    Is it too much to hope that the Tories will now cease trying to be all nice and unthreatening and actually grow a pair and stick the knife in where it so needs to go for the sake of our country.

    And as a wine buff I might add that drinking ’99 Chateau Margaux is comitting infanticide. Surly given the circumstances you must have a wealthy mate with a decent cellar can come up with an 82, 89 or 1990…but then again maybe save one of those delights for the fall of monocular one.

      Brown’ll get away with it unless there’s physical evidence to the contrary which gets published in a paper somewhere.

    Priministers Official Spokesperson says:

    It is with immense sadness and regret that the Prime Minister has to announce the political death of Dr Derek Draper. Dr Draper has been a loyal supporter of the party over many years both in Government and opposition. The manner of his death is causing much distress within the party and his widow Kate and her new partner Anton will accompany the corpse back from the Canaries Islands were they were recently holidaying when the grim tragedy struck. Regrettably as yet no one has managed to remove the stake brutally driven through his heart by the right wing blogger Guido Fawkes which has unfortunately resulted in it being impossible to put the lid on the casket. Kate has had to witness the grotesque and twisted features of the corpse that was once our party’s master of online spin deception and smear. He will not be greatly missed. Flowers and tributes to be sent care of Tom Watson MP at the Downing Street office of propaganda and dirty tricks.

    Tin Cunliffe says:

    When I first saw draper re-appear I found it rather depressing – that as one ages one’s personality remains the same. ie he’s been the same tosser for years.

    However, more heartening is that he doesnt really appear to be intelligent enough to be truely Machiavellian. I can see a simple explanation for this, and I don’t really feel the need for anything deeper conspiracy.

    Draper was jealous of this blog, and wanted his own version of it. He’s got his daft mate sucked into it. Other people knew about it but kept out of it.

    “Why on earth was he brought back?” is a very good question. Perhaps he just bullshitted his way in and no-one bothered to complain.
    I’ve also thought this sounds a bit like student politics or a PTA commites at school. Ususally nobody really wants to do the job, so the daft sod that puts his hand up first or pushes to the front of the queue gets the job.

    If I’m honest I really hope this goes all the way to the top and tomorrow’s papers show it and prove it.

    Labour have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted. Blair promised “no more Tory sleaze” in 97 and was one of my reasons for voting them. Since then they have been worse, far worse, than Major’s Tories.

    I don’t expect MP’s to be perfect but I don’t expect them to be lieing hypocrites who, like Mandy and Draper to name but two, are given chance after chance after chance.

    Why should we now believe anything this lot say? Draper lied on TV and in his and the LoatherList blog, so why should we believe him now?

    How many times has Draper said he’s sue / consult his lawyers? And how many times has he actually done anything? Zero. Why? Because they were probably TRUE.

    As for Mr McBride of Frankenstein, if there’s anything that can be done legally I think the police should do it? Will they? I doubt it.

      Galloway had a good response (first time for everything I guess) saying the Labour frontbench didn’t say that when Damian McBride’s info was scavenged.

      Now Adam Boulton has joined the discussion….Galloway also says he has seen the contents of the paper; can’t be long until available to everyone now…

      Newsed1, 60,000 votes more, a handful in the context of a general election, but that matters not a jot anyway – nor does your after-the-fact 100 votes in 32 constituencies (show me an election where that wouldn’t have been true!) – we don’t have proportional representation – and long may that continue.

      My point is that it is wrong to tar or tarnish Scotland or the Scots for this awful government, which was elected, sadly, across the whole of the UK.

    The thing about independent blogging is that it is independant. Yes it costs to keep such a blogs going, Arthur knows this all too well with two very differing blogs going under assumed names. Well that’s three assumed names now then!

    Arthur is glad that Mr Fawkes took the right action by giving these stories away. Arthur would have done the same, after publishing them himself first of course! He [Arthur] noticed the difficulties on all the channels today in how the media approached this blog. Some obvious choking and some attempts at derision. Presenters are told how to react by producers and editors that’s why they are presenters. As Mr Fawkes alludes to, they just have not got it yet. They will though eventually, but today blogsphere moved up a notch in the power circles. Expect Murdoch to muscle in quite soon.

    Well done that man Fawkes. Expect life to be harder and faster from now on.

    PS Dermott says you are wrong about the emails and government: Arthur warned you here several days ago that this EU regulation was now in operation as if by magic. Arthur pre-empted Mr Fawkes and takes credit where credit is due.

    Speaker under fire over Dubai visit

    1 hour ago

    Commons Speaker Michael Martin has come under fire over a four-day taxpayer-funded trip to Dubai.

    Mr Martin and his wife Mary flew business class to the United Arab Emirates as Parliament started its Easter recess, according to the Independent on Sunday.

    The couple and their entourage were reportedly entertained by senior members of the UAE royal family at a string of luxurious palaces.

    The bill for the trip, including flights and accommodation in a five-star hotel, is estimated at around £8,000. Two parliamentary officials were among the entourage – although they flew standard class.

    Mr Martin’s office defended the visit, insisting it was an official tour to foster links between the UK and UAE parliaments, and had been authorised by the Commons authorities. But the news drew criticism that the Speaker should have been trying to repair damage from a slew of scandals over MPs’ expenses, rather than running up more costs.

    A recent Freedom of Information request revealed that the taxpayer has spent nearly £150,000 on foreign visits for Mr Martin, often accompanied by his wife, over the past six years.

    Tory MP Douglas Carswell told the IoS: “I have nothing against Michael Martin personally, but I think he should have spent the recess trying to clean up Westminster, not racking up an ever higher bill for the taxpayer. Westminster stinks, and part of the rot is MPs and their expenses, and if you had a Speaker who was up to the job of being Speaker, he would have called time on this nonsense.”

    Last Monday, Mr Martin met his UAE counterpart Abdul Aziz Abdullah Al-Ghurair, speaker of the Federal National Council, who visited the House of Commons in January. They then held talks with the President of the UAE, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

    On Wednesday, they met Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.

    A spokeswoman for Mr Martin told the newspaper: “This was an official visit. The speaker of the Federal National Council visited the Commons in January, and invited the Speaker to make a return visit. This was authorised by the Commons authorities. Because it was an official visit, it was paid for in the normal way, out of the Speaker’s budget.”

    I have spent the last 40 minutes or so listening to Derek Draper being interviewed on every outlet I can find. For better or worse, part of my job is listening carefully to what people say and how they say it. Draper is god’s gift to interviewers. He tells provable lies. I can only think he has got away with it for so long that he thinks he can always lie now and bury the truth in the next news cycle.

    I am pretty sure I now have the “tell” for when Derek Draper is knowingly telling a lie or trying to blend over an inconvenient truth. After he has said the lie, after he dissembles and prevaricates, he adds either “youknow” or “youknow what I mean” in that slightly whingy tone of voice of a bad Alan Bennett impersonator.

    This is particularly apparent on the talkSport interview with Galloway.

    Hunt down all labour filth and hack them to death says:

    INSIDE Downing Street officials were putting the finishing touches to a £20 billion bailout package for struggling businesses, to be announced by the prime minister the next day. Out in the real world, thousands of workers were facing redundancy as Barclays and Jaguar Land Rover announced savage job cuts.

    But at 6.30pm on Tuesday, January 13, Damian McBride, Downing Street’s head of strategy and planning, had other things on his mind. He was bent on a smear campaign against the Tories on a proposed new website, Red Rag.

    “Gents, a few ideas I have been working on for Red Rag,” he wrote, by way of introduction to the plan he was about to send to Derek Draper, his old friend and Labour blogger. “For ease, I’ve written all the below as I’d write them for the site.”

    Copying in Charlie Whelan, Gordon Brown’s former spin doctor, McBride, who was paid by the taxpayer, set out four possible stories to ensure the new Labour website got off to a flying start.
    He described the first – about a gay Tory MP promoting his companion’s business interests in the Commons – as a “solid investigative story”, suggesting that it “may be a good one to use early”.

    The other three, he admits, “are gossipy and mainly intended to destabilise the Tories”.

    The scurrilous suggestions and lurid language in the e-mail triggered panic in Downing Street yesterday but one person was clearly impressed.

    “Absolutely totally brilliant Damian,” fired back Draper 20 minutes after receiving McBride’s message in January. “I’ll think about timing and sort out the technology this week so we can go as soon as possible.”

    Good grief Guido, with a keyboard and internet connection you just brought a government down and a government that has been one of the most rotten and evil governments this country has ever had.

        Guido hasn’t brought down the gov’t today, but he has very effectively annihilated their credibility, and their capacity to smear the Conservatives. Never again can Labour dare to call the Cons “the nasty party” without this being shoved in their ugly faces. That’s no small feat.

        I still think it’s odds-on that this maggot-shit Labour gov’t will be deposed before they call an election at a time of their choosing. -But not because of this. Oh no.

    Part of a comment on the NofTW site in reaction to the emails

    says it all really

    “The working classes have been Royally shafted by ZaNu Labour. 3 and half million of us unemployed and rising, taxed to the hilt but unable to find a decent school or a clean hospital. The economy in meltdown, our homes being repossesed. Pensions gone and our pensioners left to rot after a lifetime of hard work and paying taxes. “

      working class?

      theres a fucking oxymoron

      long term unemployment due to “ill health” and generational work avoidance seems more to the point

      and as for clean hospitals

      you c*nts are truly clueless – you cry about the shit stained wards – you have no idea how close you come with every hospital encounter

      the terrible reality is that this government has introduced sub-prime medicine with the political advancement of the “nurse practitioner”. the next time you go to hospital ask who it is that you are seeing. often it wont be a doctor rather a nurse pretending to be one. they are cheaper and more likely to do what gordon tells them. she will fuck off home at 4pm, not do on calls and be clinically inept. all the while they cut training hours for the docs who become de-skilled

      case in point – referred old lady for endoscope for cancer rule out. but in the why should doctor have a monopoly over medicine world she is seen by super nurse – who rules out cancer. i admit said patient for investigation as soon as i see the report. surprise surprise a real doctor, ie one that did a-levels and went to a proper university, reviews and finds a tumour the size of a fucking fist that even cyclops brown couldnt miss

      as many managers are ex nurses and the consultants are all pussy whipped by the same, said nurse will continue to walk around a hospital near you like birty big bollox and mismanage at her will

      all hail the nurse consultant

    Good day to bury bad news alert says:

    I noticed that Derek Draper states on his website http://www.derekdraper.net/about3.htm to be signed up to the ethical framework of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

    I was curious as to what this entails. Sure enough, its available on their website
    http://www.bacp.co.uk/admin/structure/files/pdf/566_ethical%20framework%20revised%202009.pdf

    Page 6 is interesting….(my emphasis in bold)

    The practitioner’s personal moral qualities are of the utmost importance to clients. Many of the personal qualities considered important in the provision of services have an ethical or moral component and are therefore considered as virtues or good personal qualities. It is inappropriate to prescribe that all practitioners possess these qualities, since it is fundamental that these personal qualities are deeply rooted in the person concerned and developed out of personal commitment rather than the requirement of an external authority.

    What might these personal qualities include?

    Sincerity – a personal commitment to consistency between what is professed
    and what is done.
    Integrity – commitment to being moral in dealings with others, personal
    straightforwardness, honesty and coherence.
    Respect – showing appropriate esteem to others and their understanding of themselves.

    Oh, and just below it

    By accepting this statement of ethics, members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy are committing themselves to engaging with the challenge of striving to be ethical, even when doing so involves making difficult decisions or acting courageously.

    I wonder if there’s a case against him given the rather unedifying events of late?

    You posted your “Those who live by the smear…” on THURSDAY 7pm. Surely Draper/McBride must have known exactly what you meant by that cryptic post. And yet, the gov’ts reaction only seems to have started to kick in on Saturday.

    Guido, please carefully review and recall all the communications which took place between you and your contact(s) between Thursday and yesterday. Was there anything which puzzled you, any reactions/questions/answers to your questions which didn’t seem quite natural, or what you’d have expected? If so, don’t stop to pack a suitcase, just get out and go camping in the Pennines or something. Seriously.

    Live by the sword... says:

    Galloway”: Damian Mc Bride, aptly named, right hand man of Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, sitting in 10 Downing Street, a government employee, using a government computer, and government time, has been caught spreading the vilest, the most vicious smears, against his political opponents.

    When the burglars, the plumbers’ unit, were found in the Democratic Party’s
    headquarters in the Watergate Building in Washington, it worked as a scandal because it crystallised all the things that people had begun to feel about Richard Nixon over the preceding decade. This was dirty tricks. This was the depth to which political fighting can sink. And of course, Richard Nixon quite soon, was, no more, his reputation doomed, probably for ever.

    Now, even the Mafia don’t attack each other’s wives. And yet these emails are all about other people’s wives and the man who received them and who said that they were ‘absolutely totally brilliant’, in the email he sent back, is Derek Draper – who is good enough join us and face the music here. Derek, this is very serious business, no…… hello Derek.?”

    Draper: “It’s very serious, I mean, you know, Damian McBride, as you say, has had to resign, he’s lost his job, it can’t get more serious than that, can it?”

    Galloway:”Well it can, because if it devalues the British political system, if it sinks us to the depths of Richard Nixon, that’s a lot more serious than Damian McBride losing his job.”

    Draper: “I agree. I mean, look, the fact is I’ve got to be honest about this. Erm…. The idea of having a sort of, you know, left…there’s all these right-wing websites… the idea of having a sort of gossipy left-wing website was a silly idea, you know, and the idea of putting those stories on it was silly. I mean, all I can say is it never actually happened, you know, they were never published. The only reason we know about them now, is because they’ve come into the public domain through this story, if you see what I mean.

    I personally am concerned that my…er… the reason they are is because my own private emails were hacked. So, I think yes its bad, er, I certainly deny having anything to do with it but I think you have to also just stop and say, well hang on a minute they were never published. In the end I, kind of agreed with you and thought,’it’s not right’. Let’s concentrate on Labour List, let’s concentrate on the positive. So they were never published, but we should never have considered even doing it. You know, to me, that was the silly thing.”

    Galloway:”But you said that they were ‘absolutely, totally brilliant’?”

    Draper:”I know, and I mean, I’m not going to deny that I thought some of the stories…. I’ve said this very publicly today…some of them I instantly read and I thought ‘um, that’s juvenile, that’s unacceptable, that’s very poor taste’, others of them, especially there’s one or two trying to expose real bad goings-on, I thought were brilliant, you know. Em, overall, though, er… and that’s why, you know, why if you go to Red Rag, this website that, you know, was originally conceived, there isn’t a single word on it. You know, it’s empty. This was a daft plan. Um, it should never have been considered. It was considered privately, but nothing came of it.”

    Galloway:”Well, the emotional health of the Shadow Chancellor’s wife, why would that even get past first base?”

    Draper: “It shouldn’t, I, I, I,……”

    Galloway:”You’re a, you’re a psychoanalyst.”

    Draper: “I know, I know, listen, I can tell you…..”

    Galloway:”This is Daniel Elsberg territory, isn’t it?”

    Draper:”But.. um… err… I can tell you not just that one, but others, others, you know, er…they were never… they’re not what politics should be about, you know. They should never have been written. I wish I’d never re… I think Damian wishes he’d never written them now. I think he’s admitted from the beginning that they were probably silly….I wish I’d never received them. All I can say to people is, you know, privately you’d scratch your head and wonder about doing stuff and in the end you don’t do it. It’s the deed that you should be judged by at the end of the day. And, you know, these emails, these sorts of things, were wrong. Erm, but, as I say, you know, I agree they’re wrong. That’s why when you look at the website…. ”

    Galloway:”Yes, but Derek, you said he shouldn’t have lost his job for it?”

    Draper:”Yeah, you know, I think to be honest, the thing about McBride is, and you know this better than anybody George, because you’ve been through the political mill, it’s really tough to do that kind of job for, for years, which is what he did, and he had…he made a lot of enemies, he was bound to make enemies. All I said today was look, let’s remember the years of serv… I think he did give good service, actually, to the Labour Party, Damian McBride. He then spent probably an hour – he said ‘on his own time’, by the way – I know he said in the beginning, ‘yes, it was a taxpayers’ computer’ and he knows that’s wrong and that’s why he resigned – but he spent an hour, probably, writing down this rubbish that he’d heard in bars, this gossip, he emailed it to me, um, that was as far as it went. So, should he have lost his job about it?.He certainly should have…(unintelligible) …especially if they weren’t published.”

    Galloway:”Well Derek, I thought you were out of all this man? You were, uh, a spin doctor to the ‘damian of the day’, Peter Mandleson, and you left it all, and you found, and I’m glad you did, a happy marriage and family and a new career. How did you end up back in this cess pit?”

    Draper:”Well it’s a good question, George, and I’m asking that myself. I mean, the truth is, the reason I came back originally into Labour was because, it’s my Party, I still believe in it, and, you know, it looked like it was all hands to the deck, and I’m talking about last summer, you know, even before some of the economic crisis happened, so I went back to try and do my bit and the thing that I ended up doing was a totally different website to the one that we’re now talking about, Labour List, the website, which I’m proud of, I’m glad I’ve done it, em, and I think that I was then dragged into this other stuff
    because of doing the internet stuff, d’y know what I mean? But I should have said to myself, no, no, let’s not go down this road at all. My crime, I think, is that I looked down the road, I peered down the road but at the end of the day I didn’t go down it, you know.”

    Galloway: “Now you’re saying….”

    Draper:”…but neither did Damian, you know, to be fair to Damian, its not as if he then emailed his stories willy-nilly to everyone else. I mean, he emailed them to me. You know, we considered it, we thought about it, and in the end, as I say, nothing happened with them. It was three months ago. I mean, I said, you know, ‘bloody, brilliant stuff, Damian’ sort of hat in cheek in a way, but I said it, I admit I said it. And that was three months ago. Nothing happened since. Well that tells you all you need to know.”

    Galloway: “Well it doesn’t tell us how they’ve ended up now, in the public domain. Your suggestion is that some crime has been committed? Who are you saying might have committed that crime?”

    Draper:”I don’t know, do I? I’m not a policeman. I mean, all I know is that these emails were private… and I would say to people, you know, yes, you know, the contents of these emails are shocking and people will be appalled tomorrow, er, when they read them – just remember they were never published, just remember that I might, you know,….. but equally, just imagine if your own personal emails were made public to everybody, you know, what you might have said or considered doing or thought about doing or told that maybe you would do – you know, it’s a very, very murky business to start looking in personal and private emails – a bit like having your, you know, your most personal files at home ransacked and stolen. It’s not really where we want politics to be. So…”

    Galloway: No, that’s what I said during the Damian Greene affair but it wasn’t the attitude taken by the Labour frontbench about it.”

    Draper: “Well,….the odd thing about Labour List this week is that despite people saying we’re just Labour, we’re actually quite independent and my own view is, you know, like you said, I’ve been involved in the cut and thrust of politics, I think there’s a line you cross and I think actually getting private and personal emails and publishing them, between friends, who were considering something but actually then decided not to do it, I think that’s overstepping the mark and I actually ask anybody, you know, who… do we
    all want our personal and private emails splashed over the newspapers, you know, I don’t think so, not even on a small scale, you know, what have you said about your colleagues…?

    Galloway:”Ah, but, you know, we’re both long in the tooth Derek, if I was writing a love letter tonight, I wouldn’t write it from gallowayg@parliament.uk, I wouldn’t send it from my parliamentary email account.”

    Draper:”I agree, of course, and Damian, you know, Damian’s paid the price for using his government computer and his government email, I think if it had been a personal email it might have been different, but he’s paid that price, a big price. The point I guess I’m making is, look, you know, if it’s my email that’s been hacked into, anybody who sent me an email, you know, it could have been a friend in confidence, it could have been a family matter, it could have been a medical matter, anything, is now in the hands of somebody who wants to try to damage the Labour Party by damaging me and they’ve obviously, you know, damaged Damian…err..”

    Galloway:”Well, the News of the World’s a Labour Paper, Derek – I don’t want to go into the grief that that might cause both you and I – but the News of the World is not an anti-Labour paper.”

    Draper:”No, listen, I think the Editor of the News of the World is a pretty great journalist and a great man, you know, and a fair man. I haven’t seen what they’re going to publish tomorrow but I can tell you…”

    Galloway:”I”ve got it, I’ve got it Derek,it’s pretty ugly reading.”

    Draper:”Yeah, no, the emails are bad and that’s why they were never published, and, erm, I think Damain said in his resignation letter, you know, he knew as well as I did, that it would never be right to publish them. Erm…”

    Galloway: “Well let me,… Derek stay on the line ‘cos I’ve got Adam Boulton in
    Washington on the line, where of course the Watergate took place. Adam, can you hear this conversation?”

    Boulton:” I can indeed.”

    Galloway:”What’s your initial thoughts on the story and what Derek has had to say – in defence as it were?”

    Boulton:”Well the first thing I would say is that if you want to work for President Obama, you have to answer a series of questions and one of them is, ‘have you ever sent an email that could embarass the President’? So, everyone’s aware of the dangers of email. I commend Derek for coming on the programme. I also commend Damian McBride for resigning. But, Derek is a very smooth person. I think we need to step back from this a bit and say ‘who is Damian McBride’? Most people probably haven’t heard of him. Well he’s someone who started life as a civil servant but he then was so devoted to the cause of Gordon Brown, that he resigned from that and became a special advisor – someone paid for while you’re in government, by the taxpayer but nonetheless who works as a political operative for his master, in this case, Gordon Brown. When Gordon Brown became Prime Minister, Damian McBride was the man charged with political relations with the press – briefing the press, putting stories out there. That became too hot to handle so he had to retreat from that position and he then became the Head of Strategy, very similar to what happened to Alistair Campbell, if you remember, back in the Blair years. So this is a man directly responsible for getting the message out on behalf of Gordon Brown, who sends out these smear emails, on government time, on a government computer. He sends them to Derek Draper and Derek is saying, ‘oh yes, I’m an independent operative’. Absolute rubbish! Derek Draper has been trying to get back into politics, having discredited himself in his careers as a radio journalist and in politics earlier on, by offering Labour advice on how to get into the internet and website business, so the notion that this is somehow two boys playing around in their spare time just has to be ignored on this occasion and I’m afraid George, we’ve all been here before. This is how it ends, an overtired government has too many hangers on, too many people it should distance itself from, and it starts behaving in a disgusting way.”

    Galloway:”Strong stuff, Derek, whaddya say?”

    Draper:”Its very strong stuff, and, you know, Adam is, again, a very highly respected commentator on the politics of everything. Erm, all I would say is that, you know, the website that I set up is Labour List. Since January, when the emails were sent, we published tens of thousands of words about ideas, on policy, and campaigning, and if you look at this so-called Red Rag site, there isn’t a word on it so I’m pretty sure where my interests lie and my work has gone in the last three months, d’y know what I mean? And of course, I regret even opening that email, seeing it….”

    Galloway:” And describing it as ‘totally brilliant’?

    Draper:”Yeah, of course I do. Well, like I said….I…”

    Galloway:”I don’t how you’re gonna explain it to your wife. Adam, go on!”

    Boulton:”I would just ask Derek if he thinks he’s done the Labour Party he loves, and I accept he loves it, any favours at all. If I was advising Gordon Brown now, I would say ‘put the maximum possible distance between myself and Derek Draper’, as I have to say almost everbody I know active in politics on the Labour side, has already done.”

    Galloway:”Derek, there are people saying that you’ve got to go as well and you know from the Watergate metaphor I’m developing here, that the two questions which will arise are ‘who knew what’ and ‘when did they know it’? Tom Watson for example, the Minister for the Civil Servants – he’s alleged to have been sitting at the side of McBride in all of this,’ who knew what and when did they know it’? Did Gordon Brown know? Who else knew? And where’s it going to go? Who’s going to resign next? I mean, Derek, you’re said to have lied on the Daily Politics and to another blogger, a right-wing blogger, Iain Dale, about the very existence of these emails?

    Draper:” Well, look, what I was asked on Daily Politics was ‘does Damian McBride tell you what to put on Labour List’? And the answer is, he doesn’t. …Damian sent a few emails, not these emails we’re talking about now obviously as they never appeared on Labour List and never would have, erm, another email he sent about some racist comments on one of these right-wing websites, we did put on Labour List, but not all. You know, Adam’s right in a way, it is important…. but it had nothing to do with Gordon Brown, I mean, you know, this was Damian sending me an email, me getting an email, me and Damian sort of knocking it around as an idea, it had nothing to do with Gordon and you know, the truth….”

    Galloway:”Well, you see….”

    Draper:”……..of course, let me answer that question of yours, ‘have I damaged the Party’? The truth is, I would say, because private, private emails have been taken, stolen, and published, then of course that’s damaging, but I didn’t publish them, you know, and the truth is that I would have people say right, ‘Derek’s worked for three months on Labour List, Labour List is a good thing… you can disagree with its politics but, you know, it has been a success I think, ‘let’s judge him by that’ and not by some website, that to be honest, never got off the bloody drawing board!”

    Galloway:”Yes but, the top, the top special advisor to the Prime Minister, wrote the emails. You, formerly a heart beat away from Peter Mandleson, and now back in the fold with a crucial role in the run up to the General Election. He wrote them, you said they were ‘totally brilliant’. Now, we now have, I’ve got the News of the World in front of me, and it’s a pretty ugly sight. Now what would your message be tonight to Mr. & Mrs. Cameron, Mr. & Mrs. Osborne, Mrs. & Mr. Dorries?”

    Draper: “Well, these are very good questions and what my message would be to those people who I don’t know… – I know David and Samantha, and I know George…. I don’t really know…. my personal message to them is that this stuff never saw the light of day, it shouldn’t have seen the light of day, it didn’t see the light of day, it should never have been written by Damian, it should never have been sent by Damian, I shouldn’t have done anything other than delete it straightaway and regret not doing it…….. I’m glad that it never, ever, ever appeared…..”

    Galloway:” Well, we’re losing that line… but I didn’t hear the word ‘sorry’ there, although regret is a euphemism often used by political operatives…”

All the I’s must be dotted, and all the T’s must be crossed, very carefully. I’m almost there, and once I’m sure I’ve got the whole thing sewn up absolutely watertight, then I’ll pass it to Guido, and rest assured, if I manage to do so within the next 12 months, it will certainly bring this dirty, filthy, vile government down. If I don’t manage to sew it up in time, well the general election will take care of them anyway, judging by all recent polls.

    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.

        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……….

      James, this is not the issue and if you have information it should probably go to the police.

      No one gives a stuff anymore about anyone’s personal or sexual preference or whether they smoked dried cabbage or not – it’s frankly irrelevant as long as no criminal act has been committed.

      What people do give a stuff about is continually being lied to, spied on and misgoverned: this country is being run by a set of lunatics whose expensive priorities are all wrong and whose time has come.

      Can I draw your attention, if you’re not already aware of it, to this blog written by a Senator in Jersey who is trying to force Jack Straw to hold an inquiry into the alleged child abuse which took place at the Haut de la Garenne children’s home in Jersey. The Senator was recently arrested in an early morning raid on his home and later released without charge by the Jersey police (now led by a retired UK policeman, aka a NuLab crony?) so maybe he’s getting too close to the truth.

    Telegraph quotes Mr Draper – “As anyone involved in politics knows, though, people come up with lots of daft plans that don’t make it off the drawing board.”

    If only that had been true of the Chancellor’s current ‘economic policy’.

    Laird of McBride left at the Altar says:

    The lesbian daughter of a balding racehorse trainer told the winning jockey of the Grand National to use his winnings to get his teeth fixed. Derek Draper said:” It was a smear and if anyone was going to get their teeth fixed it would be him, Clearly this was a toffs plot and a platform for well-heeled lesbian broadcasters” claimed Mr Draper. “This woman was employed by the BBC, paid for out of public funds, has facial skin that needs sandpapering and the dress sense of a wombat. I should know because I am a Draper,” he added .

    Hello bloggers

    Up to your usual japes, no doubt

    I’m a serious journalist with several hundred years experience.

    Now, what’s today’s story?

    Agh, nothing to see here.

      Do I detect a touch of sour grapes…mmmmm, now that bloggers are making journos, oh sorry “seeerioos journalists” redundant.
      Yes I’m afraid the statistics show that world wide the sales of newspapers are dropping dramatically, as more and more people turn to blogs for news for the truth and not spin from the government or any other sources.
      One case in point is South Africa, if you want to really know what is going on in SA you have to go to the blogs like “South Africa sucks” because the governments and news agencys are just too shy and race sensitive to talk about the white genocide and white ethnic cleansing that is taking place there, some 1.5 million whites have left SA and this has barely made the news in Britain.

    This is a clever coup. Reading between the lines shows that the stories that were to be planted all contained an element of truth and what has happened is that it is now impossible for this truth to come out fully. One up to the Tories, I think. But there is more to come.

The New Labour project is falling apart at the seams.

    Apart from sacking, McBride should face litigation, be brought to Court to answer serious questions about his calumny and detraction about individuals he intended targeting. This is extremely damaging for the dysfunctional PM who promised open and transparent Government when elected.
    McBride and Draper have proved this Government have lost the plot, are obsessed with spin and will do anything to hold onto power. They have certainly clarified the electorates minds proving this is a contaminated, greedy and sleazy Government that will be consigned to the dustbin of history at the first opportunity.

      Because it’s irrelevant to his dire performance as the so-called leader of this country. What’s more interesting is who in the Parliamentary Labour Party assisted in liberating the McPoison information.

      The only thing that matters, is that he is a good Prime Minister – which is obviously debatable.

You have exposed a cancer in Labour politics, which I am sorry to say has spread to places like Oxfam, where Draper’s side kick Labour Councillor Antonia Bance reigns supreme, as deputy director of the UK Poverty Programme, and which sucks up to the likes of McBride and his lot.

    Hmmm. A reorganisation of the decrepit, New Labour office furniture is in order, methinks.

    What’s that Alister chappie doing these days?

    I’m not a great supporter of the Tories, despite the desperate slander of being described as a tartan Tory by the socialist comrades.

    …but the enemy of mine enemy could quite possibly be a friend, very temporary that is, naturally.

    …and one could quite possible admire and respect a temporary friend, particulary when that temporary friend is engaging in the admiral pursuit of “outing” the comrade, socialist cretins for the despicable control freaks, pathological liars and self serving carpetbaggers that most of them are.

    an excellent result Sir, but you’ll forgive me if I don’t care to indulge in or support your Westmidden brand of politics, either. Only folk with very short memories of other brands of sleaze and dirty politics could possibly endorse and support the sanctimonious
    squeals of outrage from the true blue party point of view.

    What ever, brand of furniture is in what ever Westmidden public office
    , it is rightly perceived that time and time again the ‘furniture’ discredits it and brings Westmidden the name of a house of ill repute.

    Good work Guido. A nice little smoke and mirrors story has blown into the mainstream media courtesy of your good self. Bet the police are relieved that they haven’t had to face another week-end of accusations of their brutality during the demonstrations last week. Still, good to see you have your priorities in place. This will be the point in history where so called alternative news sources (blogs) become barely indistinguishable from the rest of the mainstream media. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

    They’ve cleared out an Open prison in Rutland (Monty Python fans hold back!) stick a few Amstrads in the cells, bung McBridie in one and Dolly in another and get on with life. Save the rest of the complex for the pisspoor Environment Agency senior directorate ( the man on the sluicegate is working hard enough) and the water companies they are unhealthily in bed with. Give me three weeks and I’ll find out where the bulk of the money is being spent and its not on practical flood defences! Clue Office furniture, ‘puter hardware, regional jollies, useless surveys, FLOODLINE, loads of literature, no one reads but beautifully filed and warehoused. Transport fleet (foreign trucks 4X4′s)

    Having read some of the turgid rant on the “labour list”, to me it has the resonance of a soviet 5 year plan and the pathetic feel of a 1980′s labour council claiming a nuclear free environment for its citizens.
    Brown is beginning to display a similar paranoia to Wilson in his latter days when he convinced himself that MI5 were about to bring him down.
    There is one difference though, having met Harold Wilson, I judged him to be a decent compassionate man although polically misguided.

      That’s rich.

      “The serious business of ruinning (sic) the country” was screwed by Blair the second he got up in Parliament and uttered the words “weapons of mass destruction” and “45 minutes”. Those of us at the sharp end of the Cold War know something about WMD and the four-minute warning. I said to my wives and servants at the time, either that bugger knows something or he has screwed Britain’s statecraft for a generation. And lo it came to pass. Didn’t you notice how he got out in time, leaving George (I mean Gordon) “Pensions” Brown to carry the can? It couldn’t have happened to a nastier piece of work. All that’s happened now is that the rot has spread like honey fungus and our children’s children will pay because the Tory party didn’t have the guts to keep Labour out of power, which is their duty as a political party. Truly I say unto my wags, the pass has without doubt been sold.
