…and generously shared it with his friends.
From ‘New Direction-Take back the future’;
The truth is that rather than exposing the left as standalone purveyors of smears, the right have only succeeded in exposing the fact that they’ve managed to drag the left down to their level. You won’t here is reported like that.
Keep trying, you sad wanker. And learn to spell.
I disagree entirely:
The truth is Gordon Brown is lying imbecile that should be sacked. Who’s up for following our Thai brothers and having a revolution?
We all know this isn’t his biggest mistake or even his biggest lie ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iPaiylUYW0 ) But it’s far past the point of “one too many,” can anyone actually remember him doing anything right, ever?
Not as good as 20 grand, though, was it?
Er, when was this time when the left occupied the moral high ground, and would never stoop to purveying smears?
Was it Friday 13th?
No, February the 30th.
Happy Birthday Guido. How do I buy you a pint? You deserve one after all of the excellent work your have done over the holiday weekend.
And remember all the government Information Officers who were replaced when Blair came in in 1997.
“and generously shared it with his friends”
Guido even invited us round to see it still wrapped, had a chance to listen to it being shaken and felt the weight. Only then was it smartly unwrapped.
Shall we let Harman play with the box?
Talking of which, where’s Harman_Pride? Place just isn’t the same without his/her inanities.
Order Order.com soon to be renamed Drudge Report UK.
Come in Bill McBruin Clinton your zip’s undone.
Happy birthday conspirator Number 1
The birthday of a conspirator.No wonder Gordon maintains silence-he has even sent out smarmy Johnson to keep him in the undergrowth
Johnson didn’t look to happy as he lied through his back teeth, did he?
I hope Gordon sent him a nice card.
So smarmy Johnson got it wrong but the good folk of Stafford knew he would
Many Happy Returns … but hopefully in days, not years.
Can we have Watson and McMental next .
…and Jackboot Smith, Blears and the whole damn lot of them
and especially Mandy, Balls and Cooper
that should be cooper mandy balls
the dick is always between the balls
Have a look at the Monday cartoon. Whose face is missing from the trophy plaque?
do you want a rocket up your backside. I do not read “blogs”, they are just a bloddy wate of time. If you cannot print this crap, which you have been touting over the weekend I suggest, you have your dick for breakfast. Up yours you f****** arsehole.
thanks Derek, Hows the beach?
Derek – did you have to sneak off the sun lounger to make this post? What is a “bloddy wate of time”?
Fuck off Derek – better still, time you started singing like a canary – you’re in the right place, twat!
Derek
So nice to hear your mellifluous voice again. How is the holiday?
Aaaaah diddums, poor little baby doesnt like confronted with the truth? Ooooh dear me how sad, fuck off and read the daily mirror then eh?
“just a bloddy waste of time” and yet we still find you commenting, ooooops.
I’m sending the learjet to rescue Mrs Draper from the clutches of the unkempt one, currenrtly in a cheap rent in the Canaries…See Iain is doing US radio chat shows, needas to explain a Draper and a McBridie to a US audience… could bring up the Boston Tea party?
Should you not be sending a ‘SMEARJET’
I am trying to rid the world of arseholes like you. Bend over baby and
you can look at my bus pass whilst giving you one !
no comment ?
Is bloddy Noddy’s brother?
You fucking cretinous window licker.
One happy bunny above … what’s eating his goat?
Hi Derek. Love to Kate.
Morning Sir Michael
Are you not contradicting yourself?
And read the newspapers, I’m sure you’ll eventually work out whathas happened.
Derek,
I hope you’re looking after my part time shag.
Cheer up Dolly. It happens to a lot of “men”.
well you took the time to read this one you fucking hoon
Goodbye Derek. You’ve done a great job for Labour’s online effort over the last 6 months.
Happy Birthday Guidio! x
You are Derek Draper & I claim my £5. BTW, better hone up your spelling before you start filling in job application forms & writing application letters. I assume you will be looking fpr a job when you’re kicked off LabourLost & The Red Rag sinks slowly in the west? Or are you going to scrounge off your better half, as you usually do? Or how about doing some studying?
Now for the big prize
I don’t believe Brown did not know anything after his nice candlelight dinner with Draper.
Brown hould go and go now!
It is with more sorrow than anger that his Lordship has asked that his judgement in the case of Brown v The People be delivered- this is only an interim judgment you understand and sentencing may be deferred for up to 14 months.
His Lordship has noted that despite every opportunity given to him – Mr Brown has been unwilling to accept that whilst not being personally involved in this shameful episode as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party he is ultimately responsible for the actions of his juniors and whilst His Lordship would not expect Mr Brown to view this as a resigning matter himself he takes a very poor view of the apparent inability of Mr Brown to accept this responsibility.
His Lordship notes that Mr Brown’s Cabinet colleagues, including the very able Rt Hon Alan Johnson, M.P.,PC, Secretary of State for Health has made a very valiant attempt to stand in for Mr Brown – “in proxy” so to speak – but has advised that Mr Brown regards himself as in no way culpable for what transpires within Downing Street under his Prime Minsitership nor within the Labour Party under his leadership. This, His Lordship, regards as very regrettable – very regrettable indeed and as a result must instruct the Jury to return a verdict of “Guilt by Association” and in due course take the necessary actions in the polling booth according to their conscience.
The Court is now adjourned !
Clerk to the Court

Nice one Guido,VERY NICE ONE!!!
Many happy returns Guido – keep the Faith!
Bravo Guido your work is top notch..
Perhaps you could consider widening you request under the FOI to include all bloggers of a political nature this past 5 years.
I suspect you might find that the govt could be holding quite a lot of data on other individuals within the political sphere…
worth a though..
Many happy returns and to cheer you up still further just imagine the shouting and phone throwing at Number 10 and the private-line telephone calls…
Yes, Guido, Happy Birthday – and – as Derek says ‘have a bloddy good one’.
Heres a Bank Holiday game called “Citizen Service” (Spot the Difference)

I wonder if the words “voluntary” versus “compulsory” might help you to understand the difference? Mind you they’re all liars so I don’t know who to believe – and I do accept your basic premise that there’s nothing to choose between Labour and Conservative positions.
Happy Birthday.

I’ve just been reading the mornings papers……….. sorry if I have been a bit slow………. but I’ve just realised that you have blown the wheels off of the spin machine that keeps Labour in Government.
Thank you.
Hi Guido. Happy Birthday. I think your faithful bloggers should be aware of the latest Daily Labourgraph dicta. Porter has left the MacBride affair to a lesser mortal who writes, amongst other shite, “Mr McBride left his job as special adviser to Mr Brown on Saturday after The Daily Telegraph disclosed the existence of his emails outlining the smears”. The DT’s political office must be the only news desk where the journo’s have memories shorter than goldfish. Keep at ‘em, Mr Fawkes. 67% of the country is right behind you.
Is Balls implicated?

No the balls have dropped….. e-mails on my dongle!
What a fantasic headline (for the Sun – of course) when Ed is found out.

I was thinking of buying you some porn!
just open your legs !
and a bath plug?
Guido,
Sort your algorithm out.
You can’t even leave a link!
Wish i could contact you personally and say thanks. Im an ex HM forces ex pat – did 24 years, went to settle in the UK and found it was a complete nightmare, so I left. I do however rant occasionally in the Daily Mail online comments option to articles, where i first heard of Guido Fawkes. I ADMIRE your stance greatly, as it is frustrating to see the conuntry you risked your life for eroded by unelected trough eating scum, and being unable to do anything about it. Reading your blog exploits has lowered my blood pressure helped me smile again and restored my faith that someone somewhere who has the ability to say what the majority of UK people, ex pats included are thinking, but more importantly, manage to throw some of the pigs off the taxpayers farm. thanks again. I suspect you got your idea for Guido Fawkes from the film V? The Uk looks more like this film everyday, marvellous film, keep building those underground railtracks to paliament. Les in Pattaya Thailand.
Les in Pattaya Thailand
any tips? you see to have the rigt idea over there I see
Geeds is his own man, Les – he started before V for Vendetta was a sparkler in the producer’s eye.
As another ex-pat currently living in Abu Dhabi it was superb watching the whole shitty spin doctored set-up being unravelled. Well done Guido! By the way we’ve had that greedy bastard Martin over here freeloading on the Sheikhs for the last few days!!
Can’t you stitch him up for shagging on the beach – oh my god what have I said, what a disgusting thought!
…just a thought, were these smear tactics the start of an early election campaign? Perhaps helping “to find a language that connects with his global initiatives”
http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2009/04/election-brown-ministers
I think that the leaking of the MP’s expenses is more contrived.
At this rate we will see all the conservative and lib dem expenses “hoohaa” come out when Brown calls the election to run alongside the euros
That would then explain why Ms Smith hasn’t had to resign, why reshuffle before an election?
Ok thanks but make sure it’s gay porn
you are sick !
you are obviously new here I can see. This is quite tame compared to normal.
Take a look at the archives on Mr Jacqboots S – help you understand.
scotsman Interview: Derek Draper – Spin cycle
11 April 2009
By Jackie McGlone
KATE GARRAWAY rolls her eyes in despair – not for the first time in the past hour – as her husband, Derek Draper, Labour spin doctor-turned-psychoanalyst, suggests that it’s time she was at home in bed – preferably with him and indulging in wild sex.
The four-months pregnant GMTV presenter sighs heavily as Draper points out in his blunt fashion that the birth of their second baby – they have a three-year-old daughter, Darcey – is due in August. (The gender is yet to be determined, although GarrawADVERTISEMENTay constantly refers to the baby as she.)
“End of July, beginning of August,” interjects Garraway. “Yeah, well, it better not overshadow my birthday, which is August 15,” he responds.
“So we’ll be employing all the tricks of the trade – lots of curries and lots of sex, which is what we did last time round. In fact, why not begin now and get a head start?” he leers at his wife.
“This is what he’s like,” says Garraway, “I spend my whole life raising my eyes to heaven.”
She also seems to spend a great deal of her time laughing with and at her 41-year-old husband, the son of a Scottish mother and an English father. Despite his marriage to the glamorous broadcaster, Draper is, of course, doomed to be remembered as the New Labour lobbyist who told an undercover Sunday newspaper reporter in 1998 that he could sell political access for cash: “There are 17 people who count (in this government]. And to say I am intimate with every one of them is the understatement of the century.”
The legacy of those words means that Draper’s name is still, more than a decade later, regularly preceded by the description “disgraced”. He has certainly lived to regret those boasts and will do so until his dying day, he says. “I’m ashamed of what I did and I have to live with that shame,” he says when I meet him and Garraway at London’s Groucho Club.
But that’s Draper for you, or if you prefer, Dolly or Muttley (to Peter Mandelson’s Dick Dastardly), just a few of the sobriquets under which he used to appear in the red-top gossip columns in the days when he was a flash man-about-town and Mandelson’s bag man to boot. Indeed, both Dolly and his wife – she likes “the Lady and the Scamp” label someone pinned on them – admit that this likely lad from working-class Chorley, in Lancashire, still hasn’t learnt to button it, even after reinventing himself as a psychotherapist and author.
Whereas the most shocking thing that has ever been revealed about Oxfordshire-born Garraway – “her family’s middle-class,” Draper points out – is the fact that last May she admitted to lying about her age – by all of one year – and was turning 41, not 40. And, of course, she was a sensation when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2007.
Her comic lack of rhythm and two left feet endeared her to the nation as she was voted back week after week, while the judges fumed over her perverse popularity. (One Sunday newspaper’s false allegation early in 2008 of an affair with her dance partner, Anton du Beke, resulted in more headlines and a six-figure libel settlement. It was Draper, not Garraway, who broke down in tears when the apology for libel was delivered in court.)
Nonetheless, Garraway is married to a man who gives off a distinct whiff of danger – they have revealed in various newspaper columns that they have blazing rows, mainly about her untidiness and his inability to put down the lavatory seat. When the Guardian profiled Draper last July as he returned to the Labour fold as a part-time unpaid campaign adviser – launching a new website, LabourList.org – the Edinburgh-born Tory MP Michael Gove compared him to a character in a novel, “because you don’t know what he is going to do next”.
So, is he as Machiavellian as he’s been painted? His wife is constantly portrayed as his polar opposite – uncomplicated, artless and guilelessly charming, even when pretending to nuzzle a calf to publicise her Channel 4 documentary, Other People’s Breast Milk, in August last year.
“Machiavellian, me? Nah!” snorts Draper. “After all my years in politics I’ve been around some incredibly Machiavellian people, I can tell you – and I can’t begin to compete with some of them.”
Would he care to name names? Baron Mandelson, perhaps? “Actually, no. With Peter, I promise you, what you see is what you get.”
“Just like you, darling,” purrs Garraway, adding that if Draper were a Machiavellian, then he would be much more practised at the golden art of putting up and shutting up. “And you’re not. A true Machiavellian would use silence. You always speak out,” she says. The unsaid “unfortunately” hangs in the air as she nibbles on a chocolate chip cookie, her remedy to cope with the morning sickness that has plagued her second pregnancy. If she didn’t eat all the time, she’d have to keep getting up off the GMTV sofa to throw up, “which would not be very attractive at all”.
Sofas bring us to another well-upholstered item of furniture – the analyst’s couch, since we’re here to talk about Draper’s new self-help book, Life Support: A Survival Guide for the Modern Soul, in which he puts himself on the couch while offering words of wisdom about the root causes of unhappiness. There’s also candid advice on how to break free from them, much of it gleaned from his private psychotherapy practice in Marylebone, London, as well as his work on depression for which he has won an award from the mental health charity, MIND.
Draper has fictionalised case studies to preserve patients’ confidentiality, but he certainly doesn’t spare himself. He writes with frankness and honesty about his own dark nights of the soul, quoting the novelist Tom Wolfe’s phrase “Masters of the Universe”, from Bonfire of the Vanities, to describe men who are outwardly strong and successful.
“I was a junior version of such a phenomenon when I worked in politics,” he says, adding that he was also unfaithful to every one of his many girlfriends. “I left a trail of destruction behind me, in terms of let-down friends and broken relationships.
“For me, my early involvement in politics gave my life meaning. But eventually those elements fell away. First, I felt I lost my soul, then my work didn’t come naturally any more. It began to feel alien. Then I ceased to be able to work and lost my energy, eventually breaking down and becoming profoundly depressed,” he reveals.
“Everyone assumes I got depressed because of the scandal. Actually, I had been depressed for two years, from around 1996. I thought I had a physical virus. I’d always been quite arrogant and cocky, but I think I put all my unhappiness into my obsession with the Labour Party.”
He pauses to drink his tea and then says: “The really spectacular breakdown came two years into my depression with the lobbying thing. That was the killer and I was admitted to the Priory; then I started to get better. I am over it now, though. I haven’t been depressed for years, since just before I met Kate, who has changed me for the better anyway.
“I got rid of my depression by doing a lot of intensive therapy, taking the prescribed anti-depressants, doing yoga and finding solace in prayer, because I eventually realised I had been masking the depression for years with overwork, drinking or womanising.”
It was a long time, however, before he realised that his obsession with work and politics “and the power-playing that went with it, and the drink, drugs and promiscuity, were all toys and inside, unbeknownst to me, the little child part of me was in the driving seat”.
So, despite the serial shagging, the coke-snorting and being the man who put the party into Party politics, he was just a little boy lost?
“I guess. Far from being the Master of the Universe I was more like the tyrant in the playroom. It was only when I reconnected to the child part of me, and was able to offer him the love and stability he craved, that he began to calm down, and my life began to settle.”
As a practising psychotherapist Draper is still in therapy and is a Christian, regularly worshipping at his local Anglican church after a flirtation with Buddhism. “The point is that therapists are always working on themselves, just as much as they are helping their patients to work on themselves.
“Hopefully, it will make me not only a better therapist but a better husband and a better father,” he remarks. “We are healers, not heroes.”
He is regularly counselled by the renowned therapist and author Susie Orbach – famously Princess Diana’s therapist – who also seems to be a bit of a heroine to Draper, who says he feels more like someone at the start of his life, as opposed to halfway through it.
He is, he insists, a changed man in every way. The old Derek is no more”.
“This is the new Derek,” he says, grinning, although clearly the hairline is receding, the waistline is thickening. He is, he notes, with some sorrow, often described on the internet as “a fat bastard”, although that’s far from the worst thing that’s been said about him, particularly by online political blogger Guido Fawkes, who regularly taunts the “new” Dolly.
Perhaps, though, the “new” Derek also owes a debt of thanks to the matchmaking abilities of his and Garraway’s mutual friend, GMTV’s political editor Gloria De Piero, who first got the couple together.
For him it was love at first sight, although he’d assumed that as a morning TV anchorwoman Garraway would be a blonde airhead.
I remember saying to Gloria, “As if I’d want to go out with someone from breakfast telly!’ I bought the stereotype – high maintenance bimbo only interested in glitz and glamour.”
Garraway: “Like Andrew Castle? Only joking! Gloria had told me I’d like him because he was really clever and lots of fun. And he was – in a really good way.”
Draper: “She claims that she didn’t kiss me on the first date.”
“I didn’t!” explodes Garraway.
“You came back to my flat and had a cup of tea, then I got you a taxi and gave you a hug,” he replies.
“This is exactly another description I’d been given of him – the overweening arrogance,” says Garraway, with a wide grin, eyes rolling to the back of her head, adding that on their first real date he took her to an exhibition of amateur watercolours at his local Anglican church. “I thought this must be some kind of test. It was the least glamorous invite I’d ever had. It was really rather sweet.”
“We went for a pizza – and that was it,” declares Draper. Their wedding and the arrival of Darcey were both covered by OK! – and they will sell a photo spread of the new baby to the magazine, because, says Garraway, they can control the images. The money will go into a bank account they set up for charities they both support, such as Help the Aged and MIND.
Does Garraway think she would have wanted to date the “old” Derek? “I don’t know because I’ve definitely only ever known the new Derek.”
Draper: “I always say she may find the new Derek nicer, but she’d have fancied the old Derek more.” Cue more eye-rolling from Garraway.
Life Support: A Survival Guide for the Modern Soul by Derek Draper is published by Hay House, priced £8.99.
fuck me! I’m glad you got that off your chest
Blonde totty smeared by e-mail on Sky TV this morning – scrubs up well, don’t remember hearing her in the House more info Guido…
Ageed! I certainly would. Good to see the Tories have moved on from Anne Widdicooombbe…whatever.
Guido, I’ve gotten the impression you probably have more emails than you are letting on, I know that using all your ammunition at once is a waste, but can you say whether you do or don’t have more juicy Labour killing information in the kitty!!
Please don’t bring that rubbish americanism ‘gotten’ here, young man.
A common misconception. ‘Gotten’ has its roots in Old English, was carried across the Atlantic on the Mayflower, and remained in common use. See also ‘beholden’.
Their spelling indeed remains unchanged since the time of the Pilgrims. (I know. I was there. And they only call it a(l)luminem because that’s how it was spelled on the side of the first shipment. And as for copper bracelets…)
I am suitably chastised and rather enjoyed it. Am I normal?
about as normal as Jumbo which is good enough for this site.
happy Birthday, Guido.
Ok, what’s your secret, you look bloody good for your age; whatever your on can I have some please? Hope you’re going to send McBride and Dolly a thank you note for the lovely Birthday presents the gave you.
I think he must bathe in the blood of freshly killed politicos.
Well done Mr Fawkes!! I think you exposed this at exactly the right time. The last thing we want is Labour to call an election now (they could win it). In six months time when this country even deeper in it they won’t stand a chance and we’ll be rid of Labour for at least 10 years (Yippee). Lets just hope of the Tories will undo the damage these bastards have done since 1997.
Maybe that point about an early election (his own thought or CCHQ’s?) is what’s caused Fraser Nelson to try softpedalling – to the fury of his readers. With Kavanagh (Watson in his cross-hairs), Ashley, Dacre and Kettle against him, Brown is dead. His sudden retirement on health grounds and replacement by a reassuring familiar face (Johnson being the only poss candidate for that role) might conceivably save Labour, but I doubt it. Their time’s up. The voters have moved on to an extent the polls don’t even begin to reflect.
They managed to undo the damage done last time.

Wonderful comment on PB:
“Quite. Someone else pointed out that Gordo’s denial of knowledge is like a Mafia boss hiring an enforcer then claiming not to know he went round killing people.
by Scott P April 13th, 2009 at 10:39 am “
What an apt analogy… the current batch of MPs seem to have “the Teflon Don” as a role-model. No moral compass, no cares except what can be proven – and no qualms about intimidating witnesses.
Guido
If you have more e mails / info etc bear in mind that this may be the decisive point and moment. There’s a lot to be said for concentrating your forces for one almighty offensive rather than dribbling them off piecemeal.
I say LET EM HAVE IT.
Remember Blitzkrieg!!!
punch a hole through, circle round and hammer them quickly before they have a chance to fight back
`
slowly slowly catchee monkey
No. Guidos playing a blinder, they have no idea how much he has. The longer this goes on, the more they lie and spin their way into more trouble. Look at Pound on Sky yesterday accusing Guido of a criminal offence. I’m sure someone would be only too happy to back Guido in a libel case, to bring down another minister. They will end up knifing each other in the back to avoid the fallout. The longer this goes on the better.
Great timing by Guido. Labour probably can’t find a judge over the holidays to grant injunctions against the UK press from reporting this stuff – under the guise of it all now being subject to a criminal investigation. Aye, suddenly invasion of privacy and possession of other peoples correspondence will be a criminal offence again. Unless it’s the government doing it of course.
However by tomorrow morning this will all be being reported by the BBC as a matter of national security. After all if Guido can get this information out of number 10 by whatever route then what other information is the ‘mole’ leaking and to whom? Nope, what we need is to seize all Guido’s correspondence to determine if a crime has taken place and, in the meantime, so as not to prejudice any trial (and retrial if necessary), then all reporting of any such material will be suppressed. In the interests of a fair trail. And retrial if the first jury get it ‘wrong’.
Guido, mate, happy birthday from the antipodes. BUT remember what happened to the last Guido. Be under no illusion you are a target. That means you must think carefully about everything you do. Take proper advice if not so already. I say this with all sincerity and a little knowledge.
I’m assuming you have a good hand of cards. Play them wisely.
Alan Johnson “”Gordon is not responsible for every single person who works for him, for what they do in their own time.”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7996427.stm
“In their own time????????” I think not.
To Mr. Alan Johnson:
Am I being naive, I thought it’s against the rules to use Company PC”s for personal emails?
Gawd! This means we will have two to three decades to wait :-(
But not to worry, it’ll be worth waitng for. :-)
Ah, but in blog-years everything moves at a faster pace!
Guido,couldn’t you do something about the illegibility of any of your articles here? eg,Lines superimposed on top of one another.Tops/Bottoms of lines cut off. Many articles seem to suffer from this and it makes them very difficult to read.I persevere because I know it’s worth it for the content.Many newcomers may not stay long enough to uncover the treasure.
Open the ‘comments’ then go back to the homepage, you will find the text has sorted itself out.
If you don’t, try using Firefox as your browser.
Yes, I use FF and have never had any of the probs described.
Works on Chrome no worries.
Daily Mash story has it nailed today:
http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1695&Itemid=28
Blogs don’t count
but they do read
Tell Damian that, you twat!
A Spokes PorkPerson for 10 Drowning (in Debt) Street has issued the following statement :
‘ The Beloved and Glorious Leader cannot answer questions directly, but has asked me to make plain that He is busy cobbling together various ploys, fiddles, and scams that will again fool the gullible sheeple in the Budget that will be read by his reprogrammed robot.
In the meantime, he would like me to assure the sheeple that nothing is His fault and He nevva knew nuffin.’
Statement ends
is anyone making a list of things gordon brown is not responbile for. I think its going to turn out that the prime minister is only responsible for standing outside ten downing street and pretending to smile.
Have a heart, too many things to count!
Tough old bugger aintcha? 439 years old, still going strong and still brewing up the gunpowder. Many more happy explosions.
I don’t think Brown will be dissuaded from this smear tactic come election time. The tactic will most definitely be to ’save’ up any juicy information he has. And he will have lots. Them Tory boys (and boys in general – lets be honest) cannot keep their peckers in their pants. And it doesn’t have to be high ranking Tories. Any old Tory will do. Just leak what they have and splash it up on the BBC. Mix in a few outright lies and innuendo about higher-ranking Tories and some archive footage of Archer and Aitken and that will be the sum total of Labour’s ‘election campaign’.
They won’t be able to brag about the economy. They won’t be able to brag about unemployment. Or house prices. Or the national debt so it will all have to come down to convincing the electorate that the Tories are a bunch of cock-happy, Eton-toff baby-eaters. And the BBC will be working 24/7 to help them in their quest.
While we’re celebrating Guido’s victory we must not lose sight of the fact that us Labour-haters on here are a self-selecting group. We should not expect our loathing to be reflected across the 99.9% of the electorate who are not so gum-bleedingly frustrated by this bunch of mendacious incompetents to actually find their way here to let off steam.
28% of the population would still vote Labour even if they were being rounded up into cattle trucks to perform voluntary compulsory labour. Or is it compulsory voluntary labour. This government is proposing fucking slavery for its own citizens and still 28% will vote for them.
With 28% of the nation so utterly fucking misguided we practically deserve fucking Labour. It is a national and societal ill that we could harbour so many fuckwits. That we could allow their fuckwittery to endure election after election. The Tories should be setting up ‘Labour Anonymous’ fucking drop-in centres in places like Newcastle to try and wean these fucking imbeciles off their Labour dependency.
A ten-point (or is it twelve point) plan to a better fucking life.
The thing I find most amusing is the assumption that things will mysteriously get better under the Conservatives. I can’t stand this hopeless nonsense of a government but if you are asking me to believe the economy will get better under a chap who has a bit of work experience at the counter in Selfridges then you’ve another think coming.
I support Guido in what he does and wish there was much more of it- but I’m not voting for some bloke as Chancellor who’s only qualifications are membership of the Bullingdon Club and a summer job in retail.
I’m afraid you’re probably right Captain, but surely the first step is to get rid of the lying, thieving, Facist scum who make up our current government. My fucking dog’s got more integrity!
Capt O’Sullivan: George Osborne appears to understand complicated economic theory, including crucial things like not spending what you don’t have… and the need to cut spending… so I’d rather he was chancellor – look where we got to with the one eyed spawn of the Manse, for God’s sake!
And so what if George was in a student club – Gordo was bragging about his pamphlet to assist those wanting to rip off the benefits system: who has caused more damage?
Hmm….
Amen!
If you take lying, smearing and bullying away from Brown there is LITERALLY NOTHING LEFT
“Anyone who votes Labour ought to be locked up” – Field Marshal Montgomery
there is *always* snot eating…
That 28 % (to 30 %) is the payroll vote. Don’t expect turkeys to vote for Xmas ! They will continue to vote for the turkey.
Alan Douglas
That must be why the labour government has sat on their arses while teenage pregnancies have skyrocketed. They’re building an army of uneducated Labourites. They’ll be back in power in 7 years!?!
does any one know if tax has been paid on the money recieved by the familys of the members of parliament for the accomodation provided also has vat been claimed back on other expenses?
Guido must have something more on the Telegraph. They are burying this story.
Seems reporters from the Mirror & Independent have been named.
Max Clifford was filmed & recorded directing a reporter from the Guardian.
Is the Telegraph also on Labour puppet strings?
At only takes one glance at the Maily Telecrap to know that it has been well and truly fxxked by ZaNuLabour for some time now, rather like the Brown Bullshit Corporation.
There’s one theme missing in all the analysis and coverage.
Brown has always been acknowledged as “a man of deep political drive who seems to operate through a secretive and very small circle of trusted intimates and advisers” and he is also renowned as being the biggest control freak in recent political history.
Nothing moves in his immediate circle without his knowledge, direction or consent.
Forget the minnows. This is Brown; lock, stock and barrel.
The immediate rebuttal on Sunday morning and the increasing level of panic (send Johnson to Radio 4 – he’s a straight talker/man of the people), show the fact that this is getting too close for comfort. There can be no doubt that this was No 10 Strategic Policy and directed and approved by the control freak himself.
Keep going.
Mrs Andrew Marr in great form:
“..It’s too late for the prime minister to shrug off McBride with expressions of surprise and horror, as if he’d been walking around with a portly vulture on his shoulder for years without noticing”
I wonder what the pillow talk was like in the Marr household?

Happy Birthday, and keep away from the woods.
Great stuff. Have a look at Stephen Grey’s recent book Operation Snakebite about No 10 et al seeking to delay an major operation in Helmand ahead of Brown’s first visit as Primeminister.
I haven’t stopped laughing since you broke this one……… much juicier than my farts!
I do hope that Dorries takes the scrote to Law. It’ll be interesting to hear what he has to say under oath…….. especially if the Legal Beagles take you blogs as the script!
Happy Birthday!
Just remember though! The original Guido got his arse well and truly burned!
Happy Birthday, Guido. Perfect timing! Take the advice of a previous poster…
take a day off and buy something nice for Mrs. Guido.

What timing!
And what a present, so well deserved.
Maybe another 2 or 3 on the way perhaps?
In the meantime here is a little something that I’ve knocked up for you to show my gratitude.
Happy Birthday Guido!
all prime ministers need attack dogs. Just remember that Blair employed Campbell for years,and he was the nearest we have ever had to a Minister of Propaganda,peddling half truths,outright lies,and bullying. He did what his master wanted—otherwise he would have been sacked. Eventually,even he overstepped the mark,and was forced to leave his post.
Mcbride falls into the same bracket. He knew what his master wanted,and delivered. If he hadn’t delivered,or if he had failed to do what his master wanted,he would have been shunted aside a lot earlier.
Of course, the PM didn’t know the details of the emails,but he must have known the sort of activity his director of “strategy”was up to in general terms,and if he didn’t……..
Yeah, Manouk,
Being Josef Goebbels was the toughest job in the world.
“It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.”
That was his catchphrase.
PLEASE stop referring to these slime balls as DOGS! I love dogs…even some of the two legged variety.

According to Alan Johnson – Gordon Brown is responsible neither as Prime Minister for what occurs in government nor as Leader for what occurs within the Labour Party -and that people are more concerened with “organ transplants” and that Brown he can’t police every government employee or party member. I agree Mr Johnson but we’re not talking about an office junior filching paper clips – we’re talking about a close advisor to the Brown himself.
I think Mr Johnson the only transplant that the electorate are likely to be interested in – in the next few months is transplanting “your Government” !!!!
Johnson should check the SpAd Code which expressly states that ministers ARE personally responsible for the decisions of their own SpAds. Brown is responsible for McBride, as if that actually needed saying after all their years shackled together. See the cartoon on Kavanagh’s article.
those BBC reporters representing Truth and the People will keep their jobs. Their pay rises will be funded by the numerous redundancies.

I am sure that Nick Robinson will get the full story and cover it from all angles, bravely investigating all wrongdoing and call all participants to full account, er…uhm… when he gets back from wherever he has gone that is!
Isnt it funny that ‘toe nails’ seems to dissapear just before a huge political scandal errupts, almost as if he ran away because he knew full well a story was coming and he didnt want to cover it?
I would love to know if toe nails knew about the story before he ran away ‘for a lie down’ could it be that toe nails is so close to newlabour and Brown that he cannot bring himself to be critical?

Certainly not! Health and safety my dear chap!
My appologies to you, Guido.
I said more than a few times that you should let the Draper issue drop. How wrong I, and others who said so, were !
Who’d have thought that in trying to attack you Nu Lab would end up covered in their own shit ???
They really can’t portray the Tories as ‘nasty party’ now. Especially if all the details come out.
Oh ye of little faith, The one eyed snake won’t give in this easily.
Nice write up on you Guido at

1. Insane wife…is Mrs Brown not in denial that Gordon is a raving queen who likes nothing better than a bit of gay rimming and arse banditory.
2. Helping gay lover…How did Mandlebum’s Brazilian lover get his passport.
3. Wealth…I would love half the money that this Labour Government put in there own pockets.
4. Drug taking…Sorry but there is no way that T.Bliar did not take drugs to marry a munter like that, i have ended up in bed with many a dog due to an over zealous double dove but never married one of them.
Just a thought.
Please… The one eyed snake produced a sprog. Mind you so has Paul O’Grady.
Time to start uncovering the postal ballot goings on. Brown will call an election once he’s satisfied he has the numbers required, printed and packed in shiny new, hitherto unused, boxes.
I hope your not insinuating there is corruption in this Government? Whatever next! Next you’ll be accusing Gordon of dirty tactics.
Happy birthday

Nadine Dorries reporting that Draper and Watson are using lawyers to intimidate the media.
http://blog.dorries.org/Blog.aspx
Just left a request on “have your say” on the BBC website, asking for a discussion on Labour’s latest dirty tricks campaign and the biased interviewing.
Do you think it’ll get past the moderators let alone chosen as a suitable subject?
Bit of an optimist aren’t you?
In true Labour fashion, today’s a great day to bury some bad news
Last week’s “imminent” and “massive” terror strike that Brown saved his news agenda with, turns out to be a dud, and all those arresred are simply being deported to Pakistan on grounds of overdue visas
Nice job (Lord) Quick, your loyalty will not be forgotten

I do love me a good Easter crucifixion. Though I notice only one of the NuBrownShirts has actually been nailed to a cross. One nailed onto a cross, one stuck in the stocks and ridiculed. Quality delivered. Though those of us down here in the ampitheatre stalls are shouting “Encore Une Fois!”. But then we have a soft spot for cheesey dance music almost to the degree that we love a good crucifixion.
Anyway, we need more. No time to rest on laurels. As Caesar himself once said: “Will one of the queens down there bring this Queen up here another bottle of gin?”
Or, at least, I think it was Caesar said it. My memory is blurred. I know it was someone very, very, very, very, very old anyway.
I would like to sign off Dan Hannan style and say something in Latin, but I don’t know any.

FROM Nadine Dorries blog: with thanks to PLATO
Posted Monday, 13 April 2009 at 11:45
5 Live called to say they were being leaned on by lawyers with regard to any reference to Tom Watson MP and before I went on, would I just be aware of that.
I asked them what they wanted me to do with that information and were they saying I couldn’t talk about Tom Watson? No said the researcher, we are just under a bit of pressure here, that’s all, just be careful.
BBC Breakfast producer told me they weren’t taking Derek Draper on because they were being leaned on by his lawyers and he had already made ‘legal’ noises against them.”
Bloody yellow bellied cowards. Nothing new there.
happy birthday gido, nice one. :)
BBC Radio 5 claim they are being intimidated and leant-on by lawyers representing Derek Draper and Tom Watson:
http://blog.dorries.org/Blog.aspx
What the hell is wrong with the BBC?
if it was nothing to do with watson why does he need a lawyer?
Tom Watson has just revealed that he was fully involved in this smear campaign and has put himself right in the frame.
draper has been caught lying so many times that he wouldnt have a leg to stand on.
Its surreal to see Watergate being played out again
I would have thought think that they quite enjoy being leaned on by lawyers . . especially anything to do with the current crew . . .
how about we all march down to downing street for a few choruses of brown out out out. everyone wear blue.
on second thoughts were guido masks.
I’d love to, trouble is my insurance company rules out any dangerous sports. Hang gliding, base jumping.. fine. But a protest March, are you insane?
just in case anyone had forgotten what a nice chap gordon is:
REMEMBER THIS? Baby P.
GORDONS MOST FAMOUS PUBLIC SMEAR?
http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2008/11/pmqs-shame-on-gordon-brown.html
sure-gordon thinks its not cricket to say nasty things-
total hoon!
The BBC have no fear, they have Socialists poster boy (well 6 bellies anyway) Stephen Nolan who has been happily slagging off the Tories all day. Who needs layers to lean on you?
This whole business is about a conspiracy at the top of the Labour govt to smear leading Tories and their wives amongst others, but you wouldn’t have thought so listening to Stephen Nolan on BBC radio 5 this morning. The way he presented it you would think that it was the Tories that had been caught doing something wrong.
It’s in the “left’s “DNA – “Its all the Tories’ but principally Thatchers fault – everything whatever it is got it ?
Absolutely nuthin to do with us we’ve only been in power for 12 years. No doubt they’ll be claiming that the Tories “encouraged” McBride to write and send those E Mails next
Hail Master Fawkes on This His Birth Daye!
Could anything be learned from FOIA about what took place between Brown and Draper during the latter’s visit to Chequers when the RedRag project appears to have been discussed, or does a Chequers invitation somehow count as private life exempt from FOIA oversight?
Kavanagh sticks the boot right in – The Sun
Oh bad doggy…

Ahhh, I used to believe that blogs would bring about a new order in terms of the mainstream media. Sadly, it appears that they are simply mimicing the tabloid press. Depressing to say the least. Whilst you celebrate your ‘birthday’, I will be mourning the death of a medium that looked set to make up for the shortfalls of our press. Only the medium has changed, the content remains the same.
I’m off to weep in a corner (and I suspect the real Guido Fawkes is turning in his grave).
Don’t be so pathetic you sad Labour troll. Guido broke this story. The mainstream media are copying him.
Fuck you…..’Labour troll’?? I have never voted for this bunch of lying scum in my entire life. As for your other point, there is no difference between the tactics here and by the tabloid media. Sleaze is the big story….what about focusing in on the abuse of police power both at the G20 and the pre-emptive arrests this morning?? Much like the tabloid press, these stories are not worthy of further investigation, but a non-story such as this is. Blogs and tabloids are as one, and all thanks to Guido. Well done.
The fact that one thing is important is no reason to ignore other important things. All abuses of power should be exposed, especially the dissemination of false information about opponents to discredit them and prevent them from exposing the other important issues.
As you say you’re not Labour, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt – and assume that you’re just brainwashed by the liberal, touchy-feely, turn the other cheek propaganda that the left uses to shame opponents into silence.
A very fine present indeed. Thank you for sharing.
Labour in Scotland have already been running their own innuendo and attack blog:
“You’ll also notice that the Labour Party is already using the “Red Rag” tactics in Scotland and already publishes an anonymous negative campaigning / dirty tricks blog – which is widely known to be written by current and former Labour spin doctors / staffers in Holyrood. You’ll also note that the prominent Labour blogs all link to it, because they think that these tactics are perfectly acceptable.”
Started in December 2008. One month after Red Rag was set up. It’s all looking a bit co-ordinated now.
And former Labour spindoctor Mike Elrick started his in that key month of January 2009. But he now seems to be creating some distance from Damian.
Well spotted Sir! I’ve just been thinking that the bunch of ex-Trots, Militants and student glue-sniffers who run the Labour Party bring the same level of limp-dicked incompetence to dirty-tricks as they do to every other aspect of government.
What you really do is set up dozens of websites, many in non-UK domains to dodge legal problems with hosted servers and Duff domain ownership details. Some of the websites carry the WORST and FILTHIEST unsubstantiated slurs and on these you spent a lot of time putting in search engine tags. Other domains can be very restrained, but make sure that they deplore the real filth and helpfully provide links to the salacious sites. Cross-linking across all the sites ensures that some filth will always get through

He must feel pretty sure there’s no provable links. However, how many people in the Party has he offended, who might be willing to stab him in the back? Less feasibly, perhaps he is innocent. M’m…
Happy Birthday, Guido.
Im disappointed that my links to Brown & Cameroons “NUDEAL” programs (that were virtually identical) has not been allowed. For G_ds sake, lets hope you dont turn this into a pro-con rag.
The lawyers are out in force, no bank hol for them
This is funny http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2009/04/13/mcbride.jpg from the Guardian
Telegraph now reports you asked for twenty grand!!!
Surely this is a lie. After all, you said publicly you had not asked for money.
Could you clear this up?
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.
Guido did not say he “did not ask the Daily Telegraph for cash”
Them he would charge, others free for pleasure presumably?
Thought the tight bastards only “OFFERED” him 20k. Quite right not to accept such a paltry amount. I’m sure this could have gone for at least 500k. Then there’s the book/film rights…
Guido said he initially asked for money then changed his mind so that he would not be open to the accusation that his motives were not purely public spirited.
Personally, I see nothing wrong if Guido did ask for a share of the money the papers were going make when they published the story. Socialists spend all their time trying to get everything for free, and lecturing that everybody except them should work for peanuts and be taxed to the hilt. And God help anyone who suggested that journalists should take a pay cut, let alone work for free.
Nobody’s paying him to do all this excellent work, and I’m sure he has living expenses like the rest of us.
Correct! Keeping the poor, making them poorer – welfare dependent backed up with spreading lies that the bedtime bogeyman Tory will end benefits and close the NHS. Add to that the secong part of the Labour core vote, the client state – it’s leadership honed in red-brick universities since the 60s ‘taught’ (indoctrinated) by a cabal of Socio-Feminist and Marxist academics whose loyalties lay in Moscow. Labour is a complete misnomer, since their core vote Labour in any sense except to lie, spin, manipulate and bully to remain in power (not government) in order to advance their own foreign agenda (Brussels, demographic terrorism against the British, Multi-culturalism) and line their pockets with taxpayers cash.
depends what distance, but a shot from a moving vessel is one of the most difficult, about time someone did something about those pirates, now if only someone could do something about the ones in downing st.
But they have the audacity to oppose this Government, so clearly they are guilty of treason!
In the above BBC clip, has anyone noticed the rather large cracks in the bridge (to the right of Alan Johnson’s bonce – as we look at it). Is Westminster now falling apart before our eyes under the shockwaves of Guido’s revelations?
IN FACT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING AT ALL….SO WHY AM I PRIME MINISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At some point there will need to be a nickname for the original source of the emails followed by several year’s speculation as to their identity.
May I start:
Nickname: DeepGoat
ID: Former advisor to one Tony Blair, Liam Byrne
If i didn’t, it will now.
Brown’s biographer on Sky, Tom Bower. Just said Brown must have known. Must say if he was my biographer, I’d hang, draw and quarter him! No offense Guido old chap.
I have total confidence that the Prime Minister is the best person to person to lead our country.
However if people find out that the stupid twat knew all about these emails then our party has a Deputy Leader who is supremely qualified to take over the reins.
the new labour cesspit full to the brim with scum like campbell’ draper’ mcbride’ speaker gorballs martin ‘ smith ‘ blair and brown vote for them what a joke.
Happy Birthday Guido, you have made it so worthwhile to become re-engaged in politics. Your work makes a difference, has broken the ranks of the current Political-MSM alliance and showed Britain that they cannot believe a word spouted by the BBC or government. I do hope that your work and the support the co-conspirators give you (I do consider my self a minor conspirator, I hope you don’t mind) – shows this arrogant and venal ‘elite’ that what people want is the truth and a competent government.
Frankly, do we really care if so and so has the raging clap, or so and so had shagged everyone in the building – as long as they do their jobs, spend the taxpayers money wisely, defend the country, protect the people, tell the truth no matter how unpalatable and keep their hands out of the till?
I like the fact the government will be snooping our emails from now on, I will ensure they are kept busy. Once i would have died for this country (and almost did on two occasions- now, I am ashamed, because NuLabour have damaged it so badly).
So Guido, no doubt you will be in MacMental Broon’s sights, so avoid walks in the woods – as unpopular off-message people have a habit of winding up dead under this squalid regime, but have a happy birthday.
I
I’ve an idea. Let’s get The Green Granny in to sort the financial crisis out. Wonder if that’s who Mandys and Gordon have to see.
Revelations that there were smears prepared for journalists is no surprise either. The media, back in 1997 and for a couple of years beforehand were fully behind getting Major out. But from the moment Labour got in they pulled out all the files on journalists and Tory MPs (and Labour MPs) and targetted everybody to get some kind of hold over them.
Hence I’m utterly convinced that when the election is called (if we can be trusted with one) there will be an absolute shit-storm of Tory sleaze revelations. All with plenty of documentary proof provided by the politicised Met and our security services. And printed by similarly compromised journalists.
Brown is only interested in power. The proof of his brilliance is reflected in the fact that he is PM. And the fact that he is PM is proof that he is brilliant. His judgement cannot be questioned. He can do no wrong. Because if he wasn’t the best man for the job then how could he have ever become PM? And anybody who seeks to reason with him or remove him will be dealt with by medieval ruthlessness. Look at this Girls Front Bottom McBride. Resigns on a full pension doubtless to reappear instantly at an even greater salary in some invisible sinecure paid for by the taxpayer. Again.
On the other hand David Kelly is pulled to one side and, after years of public service given the clear choice between leaving his missus with a pension and disappearing or disappearing without a fucking pension. We know where you live. You’d think he was Horld Fucking Shipman the way he was treated. Utter fucking evil bastards.
Vote Labour.
Like Manuel – Brown knows nothing
Have a birthday prezzie:

That’s not Derek, it has to be cyclops himself.
This is absolutely totally brilliant, Guido.
Happy Birthday.
