Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
Do they need too? they pretty much have them in the bag anyway.
They still need to be bitch-slapped into line occasionally.
I’m so sick of these socialist Jocks running and ruining the place, get out and stay out!
Brown is neither scottish nor a socialist (mores the pity), he is proud “Brit” (whatever the hell that is) and you lot can keep him and his crazy neo-Thatcherite policies too!
That is because it’s well known that BBC stands for Browns Bullshit Club

Watch for big BBC news over next few days
A copy of the email sent to BBC Pints of View regarding this Sundays World this Weekend; not that I would expect to receive a reply:-
“I turned on to R4 at one o’clock to hear the World this Weekend. This started with the news, then we spend the rest of the time with a clearly pre-recorded report from Brian Hanrahan in Poland.
While the BBC had clearly put out a pre-recorded story on a programme that claims on it’s website to be “Shaun Ley looks at the week’s big stories and previews the week to come” the 2 big stories weren’t covered. The “apparent” resignation of Mr McBride; he only resigned as special advisor to Gordon Brown, and the American captain held on the lifeboat.
The McBride story had been simmering on the internet since Thursday 9th April ( http://www.order-order.com/2009/04/he-who-lives-by-the-smear/ ) yet either the BBC was asleep or it deliberately ignored the issue; was it following orders from Downing St?
World this Weekend is or should be the Sunday edition of World at One and should be live to follow live news. What happened was a disgrace and seems to be have driven by the wish of your staff to have the weekend bank holiday off (some people call it Easter) rather than the duty of the BBC to report and analyse the news as it happens every day of the year.
While this was going on your Political Editor had taken a holiday in “Tenerife” and his blog had been locked down. If the BBC wants to continue receiving a “tax” from the British public it has a duty to report in a clear and unbiased way. At the present time it is asleep on the job and when it does wake up it takes its first line from the current occupiers of Downing Street as demonstrated by the first edition of the breaking story around 11pm on the 10th April. The BBC is complacent and institutionally left wing biased. It has to change.
I would like a reply,”

Reported on BBC News:
Conservatives send letter to Head of Civil Service,
Who exactly knew and was involved in Gordo’s smear campagne.
Guido putting pressure on BBC to report the truth ??
If you all want rid of the licence fee, what model do you propose to replace it? TV advertising revenues are currently in free-fall. There’s not enough money sloshing around to properly fund ITV. They’re scaling back left right and centre, ITN is making massive job cuts and reducing news coverage. Sky News is funded almost entirely by its premium subscription channels such as Sky Sports.
Imagine if the BBC were then to enter this already crowded advertising market?
The revenue generated by each advert across the whole spectrum of channels – would fall considerably. There would have to be far more adverts (at least 5 minutes for every 10 minutes of programming). ITV would not survive. Channels 4 and 5 would not survive. Sky would be kept propped up, just, on its subscriptions. The BBC would have to drastically cut back on expensive to run news and current affairs and focus more on cheap entertainment shows. Great.
The alternative is that the BBC loses its privelidged license-fee funded status and becomes an opt-in subscription service. In a free market, and without the constrains of public funding and value-for-money measures, it would be able to charge a more realistic rate for its services. At the moment the license fee is approx £150 per year. A Sky subscription is £40+ per month.
So your cunning plan to rise up against the license fee would either see you paying £500 a year up from the current £150, or you’re left with a collection of poverty stricken networks each showing 5 minute long ad breaks for every 10 minutes of content.
Thoughts please.
@In The Know
I’m not that interested in how the bbc is funded as long as I am not forced by law to pay for it.
If the bbc vanishes, so be it.
Let’s face it, it’s not much of a loss any more.
@ Aethelred. I am forced by law to pay for the NHS bloated with middle-managers and filthy hospitals, a state education system which seems to be churing out an entire generation of illiterate yobs, a care system that leaves the elderly to rot and vulnerable children to be beaten, roads that are poorly maintained and overly congested, a rail system on its knees, politicians I don’t trust, and for bailing out bankers who are busy lining their own nests. Whining about paying a few pence a day for half-decent television shows a distinct lack of any real critical ability and is playing directly into the hands of the politicians (from both sides) who keep whipping up the same old debate to divert us from the real problems of this country.
p.s Have you ever watched TV in the rest of Europe? Fort Boyard anyone?
Actually @Aethelred
“I’m not that interested…”
…tells me exactly what I need to know. Absolutely no engagement with the realities of a given argument, just carping from the sidelines. I think I prefer people who are open about their apathy to those who are incensed about something without the benefit of any critical thought.
as i said lets all march on downing street.
grdon gordon gordon out out out
How much was he paid? Any bonus payments? Any car allowance or government supplied transport? What were his expenses? How much will he be paid now he has gone? What will the pension amount be from this job he has been doing? When all the ethical requirements of a civil service job are broken leading to a dishonourable discharge are pension etc reduced, or eliminated?
The transport minister [I think] said he’d left with nothing ie sacked but allowed to say resigned.
How true that is I don’t imagine we’ll ever find out. Unless someone in payroll blabs.
Things must be bad at bunker central if th beeb can be relied on? Dave has well and truly put his tank on Gorgons lawn, with a map given to him by Guido.
`Dave` has done NOTHING `Dave` is more of the same.
No severance pay at all they say.
Exactly, Dave C can fuck right off.
What Nadine Dorries?
Sorry is the hardest word.
report it then. stupid beeb.
hardly news is it? since the appalling treatment of David Kelly, the once excellent BBC has become a division of the Nulab cabal. About time journos protested about this, because there really will be absolutely no reason for the next government to keep the license fee if this is how appalling their editorial standards have become.
It was a division of ZanuLiebor long, long before that – ‘…and the corridors of Broadcasting House were strewn with empty champagne bottles…’ May 12, 1997 – http://biased-bbc.blogspot.com/2007/05/strewn-very-wonderful-jane-garvey-is.html
sure but it got MUCH worse after Dyke was forced out
They should cut the BBC TV Tax to 1/3 of what it is now and slim the bloated cooporation down to BBC1, BBC2, Radio 1 – 4 – And Thats IT!
Any other channels/stations they want to keep should have to be funded on a commercial basis. Like all their competitors.
NO – privatise Radio 1 so that Chris Moyles gets paid what he is worth – i.e. FUCK ALL
Why not cut it to Zero??
You realise we are lawfully within our rights not to buy a licence at all……

BBC news coming within days
Get rid of Wossy, Nicky tossing Campbell, John Humphries, Jim Naughtie, Alan cock Yentob, Toenails, Jug Ears, Peston.
Bring back Sissons from graveyard Saturday aft, promote Adam & Joe, Sophie Raworth and send Fiona Bruce round my gaff.
Fuck BBC3 – Draper could do better.
No need for adverts, the signal is going all digital (i.e unencrypted analog is getting turned off) soon.
The technology is already here and in most homes
The BBC MUST go subscription not extortion.
If someone was sitting in MY office using MY office stationery and MY office infrastructure to distribute filth and sleaze against MY political opponents, do you think I would be held personally responsible for that ?
You fucking bet I would.
After Johnson claimed Broon knew nothing about their activities I thought one of the papers should run a headline “Minister admits Prime Minister’s staff out of control”.
Do you know where McBride was sitting when he cobbled together a gazetteer of current HoP sleaze stories and added a few twists of his own. Most of these stories were running already according to John Torode of the Spectator. The originators were MPs, researchers, lobbyists, lobby members of all parties and none. Shit from the bowels of power gobbled up and re-excreted by McPoison. It’s an anthology with notes not McBride’s original work.
I guess that is why McSnot is not writing letters of apology then ?
If they didn’t know what the man was doing all day, why was he employed?
Is this news???
The only news is that the BBC are complaining.
The BBC are a rats nest of leftwing Labour sucking scum.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for them now?!
No, absolutely no. They are mendacious fuckers and should be treated with extreme caution. Fair-weather friends can fuck off.
Fuck off BBC!
Blind panic – they know that they are next. Were BBC journos/editors/executives addressees?
Maybe Gordon had a curry and Toe Nails is feeling the heat.
Oh god that thought made me vomit.
Bloody Hell Serf, you could have put a warning on that one!
Is it too much to ask for the BBC to report the truth.
You know it’s out there!
Good grief – is AlBeeba trying to claim some kind of … impartiality here?
Waaay to late for that you luvvies – you guys are so very in trouble come the next election.
The BBC is scared now. Real scared.
Make sure you don’t go down to the woods, Guido!
The Labour party is going down.
The BBC needs to decide which way the wind is blowing.
For certain, the next government is Conservative. They should think to the future.
Just need to compare yesterday’s BBC coverage with say Channel 4 to see how pro brown the BBC has become
bbc grow a pair and stand up to them.
It’s about time the BBC realised that this shower will be out in max 13 monthns
A timely reminder to all new subscribers to Mr. Fawkes’ excellent publication, you may also enjoy biased-bbc.blogspot.com
First use of the term ‘kitchen cabinet’ during smeargate? Tom Bower on Sky News now.
Guido, do you worry that asking for 20,000 from the Telegraph destroys any public interest defence you might have been able to put up against receiving stolen correspondence?
draper you feckin sicko
As Mr T would say “Keep Spinin Fool”
No – now fuck off! You know about as much about legal defence as McDoom does about truth, economics and ‘doing the right thing’.
It’s you and your Labour paymasters who should be worried, stooge. The whole country is turning against you. Let’s hope that very soon they rise against you too.
only 20k dolly boy? FFS a document that could bring down the GVT must be worth at least half a million.
There is a job going down out way if you are interested, undermanager at comet, kate would be pleased you are making a contribution to the family income, and not sponging off union members.
Er, no it doesn’t.
Anyway, we, the taxpaying public, own the emails, coming as they do from time and facilities paid for from the public purse. The mails are public property not private property. McBride does not ‘own’ the emails, which were sent in the furtherance of his publicly paid for business – or should have been. If not, McBride was either stealing from us or otherwise committing misconduct in public office. It follows that the Telegraph has no right to ‘sell’ or accept reward for this information as it is our property, not theirs.
On the other hand, it would appear from the content of the mails that the Labour Party has been using taxpayers money and resources to subsidise its party political activity. Typical Labour thieves -The Labour Party no concept of what is or isnt theirs so they take it anyway.
Now fuck off Dolly Bot.
Anon 20
“…stolen correspondence?”
I think you will find that the evidence points more firmly towards the emails having been donated to Guido by one of the participants in the conspiracy.
You are an idiotic troll.
That’s well possible. Or Draper etc perhaps forwarded to someone he thought would be game to run with some of them. I don’t think the Hilton-(Alex)-Draper peace talks were as successful as DD may have believed.
PS Did the email have a paragraph somewhere with instructions that “if this email is not intended for you put it in the shredder right away?”
How can you “steal” an email?
‘same way as you steal a Glasgow Kiss I should imagine?
The The Labourgraph article claiming Guido allegedly asked for a £20,000 “fee” appears to have been removed from site. Wonder why?
Because it was written by thick halfwits perhaps?
Ah, Mr Goebbels. Unfortunately for you, modern media techniques have already shown up your lie for what it is, and so widely, that repeating it no longer works — not in the 21st century. All it does is broadcast even more widely and even more convincingly that the Left are largey dishonest, corrupt trash.
Of course, we all know where trash goes — in the bin.
* Trash like McPoison in the bin
* Trash like Hain — in the bin
* Trash like Draper — about to go in the bin
* Trash like Watson and Brown — following soon.
That’s how decent folk deal with trash; and in UK politics, nearly all the trash is Labour, and (probably, by now) nearly all that remains of Labour is trash.
Just go on proving that, gutless “Anonymous”. The rest of us are enjoying it!
Eh? That mysteriously jumped from being a reply to the Anon who tried to perpetuate the myth that Guido was selling the info. How it ended up here I have no idea; but please treat it as a reply to that Anon, as I can’t delete and re-post my foregoing comment.
Woo! A glitch…
I’ve got galloping indigestion!
Stolen Correspondence ? Firstly they’re E Mails and do you not think that perhaps someone you was sickened by their content might have “leaked them” ? It’s possibility and probably a very good one. The public is heartily sick of Labour’s lies and innuendo dished up to us with the connivance of those in the media for the past 12 years and we’re heartily sick of Brown in particular
This was worth 10 times that.
I hope Guido got some money. He serves the people.
Typically corrupt and cynical way of looking at it…just what we’d expect from a Labour Party fuckhead.
Fucking war criminals.
NOT stolen Dolly. You’ve still got them.
Toenails is strangely silent in all of this (not that I’m suggesting that a period of permanent silence from him would not be most welcome). This “lawyers putting pressure on” stuff is obviously bollocks – it’s the Beeb’s pathetic excuse for having been shown up as the craven propoganda mouthpiece they are for Zanulabour……
Toenails is on holiday.
With Dolly, do you reckon? Menage a trois?
Poor KG really has no taste!
With Brown & Family, the sun doesn’t shine up there!
Nuclear Winter SPRINGs to mind!!
Someone further up said Tenerife. Isn’t that where the fragrant Dolly is as well?
The BBC pretending to be impartial again
Noddy or Big Ears not in the running for job vacancy – Tom Bower Sky News.
What I’ve loved so far is Brown apparently knows absolutely nothing about anything. Everyone who has done something bad or ‘been found out’ has had nothing to do with Brown.
So would this make our saviour PM as the ‘know nothing’ PM?
I was thinking that, I hope Cameron uses “know nothing PM” at him. PMQ’s is too far away, maybe they could recall parliament next week?
Cameron should call him the ‘Know-Nothing Protaganist Minister’!
Great line. Let’s hope a Conservative bod is reading this & use it at PMQ.
To be more accurate…
“A no nothing Prime Minister of a no nothing Party”.
The ‘know nothing’ prime minister sounds like a winner to me! Spread the word!
Memo to David Cameron for PMQ: “Does the Prime Minister know where Mr Macavity Brown was over the Easter weekend?”
Reminds me of Manuel in Fawlty Towers. “I know nathing!”
Didn’t he try to hide a rat in one of the episodes.
Actually if you remember the US sitcom Hogans Heros there was a big fat German guard who used to run around saying “I see nothing”. That’s more like McNokia.
Brown really is saying “a big boy done it and then ran away” on this!
Or should it be a quite chubby boy?
It is a good line. The buck has to stop with the PM, though, and he can no longer successfully run away and hide from his responsibilities. If he didn’t have the guts to take the ultimate responsibility, he should never have even contemplated becoming PM.
Another good (follow-up) line might be that any competent, decent and respected leader in history always accepted such responsibility, and when necessary several of them also made the ultimate sacrifice, putting their duty above personal ambition.
It is now Brown’s turn to do the same.
The Tories know full well that McTwat won’t apologise, thus showing him up as the obdurate tosser that he is.
so who exaclty is piling the pressure on if mcbride is gone? so much for one guy acting alone.
Hmmm. Sounds a bit familiar…

Well at least they are having an investigation which is
more than Brown will dare have
And they ‘suspended’ them.
Yeah ever wonder why the beeb put out these stories in relation to something worse at similar times? Think about it.
Ever wondered why the BBC has no balls?
There is absolutely no suggestion that the Prime Minister knew about any of this.
that a load of bullshit.
Let’s face it, McBride, Draper et al wouldn’t have considered doing this sort of thing if they had thought that Brown wouldn’t have approved. The plan was conceived in an atmosphere where it was it was deemed to be acceptable.
Does anyone seriously believe that McBride would have risked his position if he hadn’t thought that he could get away with and that Brown would have thanked him.
Yes there is. I’ve suggested it. Here and on other blogs.
Of course he knew. It was/is part of the vile man’s strategy to stay in power.
seems to me plenty of people have suggested it. Do you mean no evidence?
Bullying, spin, smear - there’s only one home all that.
Beeboids – stun us all and stand up for yourselves. Broadcast the phone messages and threats you recieve.
Guido,
BBC Source saying that pressure is in general or just recently regarding the email smear story?
Another question:
When did the government put on the ‘squeeze’?
The backhanders have cooled.
Too right, the greedy fuckers have realised the money has run out too. About time, shame, the shiny new offices look quite new.
Perhaps it is true that the BBC are plannning a new series of Only Fools & Horses……………starring that much loved comic character Del Boy Draper.
Only Fools and Horses…
Gordon Brown.
A nappy.
A rocking horse.
DAMIEN
Snotty is a joke, now a laughing stock and a sad clown. Watch out for the backlash!
I don’t find him funny at all. Christ knows what the nutcase will do when backed into a corner.
…
Gordon Brown has denied involvement in the manufacture of smear stories or even knowledge of it.
You can easily doubt this is really true as he works directly with the people involved and indeed even spun in the Sun newspaper, a picture of the workplace in the last year of him getting on with the job!
Here is why you might think Brown was involved.
If you think about it the press has had a lot of articles building up Sarah Brown recently, starting to Twitter in time for the next election, the hiring of clothes, Sarah Brown being part of the Brown campaign at the next election and much talk about her taking stands at summits in reference to foods she declined in a blatant pitch for certain types of voters.
What “better” for such a campaign than to smear the wives of your opponents! Brown is in this up to his neck! He is the mastermind as his wife is being wheeled out as an electoral prop; meanwhile the substitute team and their partners/wives are being smeared by a pack of lies.
Four recent daily mail stories about Sarah Brown the last one identifies how Sarah will be an asset in a future campaign using Twitter and actively campaigning for Labour!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1158483/Sarah-Brown-Michelle-Obama-hold-First-Wives-Summit.html
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1169248/Sarah-Brown-refuses-eat-veal-foie-gras-Nato-summit-banquet.html?ITO=1490
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1166589/Sarah-Brown-introduces-cream-British-female-talent-Naomi-Campbell-Michelle-girls-night-in.html
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1168630/PMs-wife-Sarah-Downing-Tweet-joins-Twitter-craze.html
The more you look at this the more convinced you could be that Gordon Brown wanted the McBride e-mail strategy. Why else would Brown position his wife into such a position of electoral importance as has been reportedly recently in the press?
Whilst an electronic trail may not go directly to Brown a print off of an e-mail may well have passed Gordon’s eye. You can just see him marking the paper copy with a big fat Black felt tip pen and smiling as he looks at it, indeed in such a small office it is hard to believe that Brown could not have been chipping in and joking about the smears with ideas as he is a *strategic genius*!!!!
Yes you could think Brown wanted this smear strategy as part of “use Sarah Brown” to promote Gordon positively whilst engage in an unfounded dirty smear campaign against Conservative opponents.
The other interesting factor is the amount of articles appearing in the daily Mail; maybe the No.10 team have a good contact to place stories within the Mail group?
I think you are giving McBroon too much credit – could someone with his intellect think up a plan like this … doubt it … the man’s too stupid!
He’s mad, not stupid.
He’s still dangerous.
I think it’s worse than that. I think it’s designed to start the pillow conversation that leads with “Darling, is it all worth it? …. we’d be better off if you were working in the private sector ot of the public eye ‘ etc etc
On the other hand I wonder how Sarah Brown now feels about the spotlight being turned on her and her family. Is she sure she’ll be able to cope? The thing about taking the gloves off is that, well, all the gloves come off. Labour sees itself as rougher and tougher than the Tories. Let’s see.
see that proves the culture at downing street and that is wasnt just mcbride.
Come on Beeb. Stand up for yourselves. Use my taxpayers money to be independent in all of this and report what needs to be reported.
Aljabbeba can see which way the wind is blowing.
Expect lots of “it wasn’t our fault… we wanted to be impartial, honestly we really did…”
Victim is not really a synonym for willing collaborator.
Any BBC employee sacked – or smeared – by Labour for telling the truth, shall be reinstated under a Conservative government.
They have NOTHING to fear from the truth.
Yeah right, fuck off will they. They are duplicitous, the Huhnes.
bollocks – the rest of us had to tough it out and pay for our principles. Sack the lot of them!
If the BBC are being put under pressure, why don’t they simply publish / broadcast any communications that relate to such?
(still in snotty’s in-box.)
I only hope that David Cameron, instead of praising the BBC as one of Britains Jewels, listens to the disgraceful interview Ms Dorries had this morning and asks himself Was this Fair and reasonable. Then consider the way Labour always gets its story played the way they want it, and come to the conclusion of the vast majority of people who leave comments on blogs that the bloody BBC is biased and needs culling!
to be fair…dave is playing a good game, like a boxer…let your opponent knacker them selves out…then land a killer punch
people say dave is policy lite…….he doesnt want old gordy to “steal” their ideas
waht dave said about the bbc (and the licence fee) was a coded warning , ie..i will be the next PM…..i will freeze the fee, and if you dont sort out your house, you will have to go it alone.
i ecpect as soon as he is in number 10, the bbc will not know what has hit them
I saw it too…it was a disgusting way to treat someone who has been smeared by the Beeb’s paymaster.
I saw it too – not really surprised.
Usual BBC bollocks to mask/justify its being so partisan – “I was only following orders”
I stumbled accross a website Stop Common Purpose. This quote from their website seems to throw light on why the BBC deserves to be called Al-JaBeeba and agents of NuLaBor. (Common Purpose is a so-called politically motivated educational “Charity”with an Orwellian agenda which is covertly supported by NuLaBor and largely supported by our Taxes. It says:
“One of the main targets of Common Purpose is the media because Fabian New Labour and Brussels need to control propaganda to the masses. Many BBC, ITV and other media personnel are members of the Common Purpose Revolution by Stealth operation. In fact, the BBC and other media outlets have become the propaganda arms of New Labour’s mealy-mouthed and politically correct Ministry of Half-Truth. The Common Purpose commissars and apparatchiks who have infiltrated the BBC have destroyed the reputation that the BBC had amongst many for independent and accurate reporting of news and current affairs. And this deceit has all been funded by the BBC Licence Tax payer. And why are people in the media so terrified of discussing Common Purpose? . . . More at: http://www.stopcp.com
too right! That communist organisation, “common purpose” is brain-washing our kids in our schools, they are “recruiting the leaders of the “POST-democratic age!” It’s communism and it is alive and kicking.
Yes: they are doing all of that and much more., Their ultimate aim is first to create a European Socialist/Communist SuperState, and also extend their influence to the whole world.
They are evil and Satanic (as their links to e.g. the Illuminati show: check the pyramid for rather obvious clues!)
It is the civic duty of all readers to sow all children the bogey man on utube, it may help save a generation
have just, (spits on ground), visited the beeboid website – the pressures’ working ! postie pat says ‘nothing to see here, move along now’.
Is this a developing story? Seems a bit too vague to publish at this stage…
The debate on Radio Five Live this morning was all about the trouble those nasty Tories have caused by going around being slured in this way.
No doubt Auntie Beeb believes good old Gordon just wants to get on with the job of providing real help to solve the problems that started in America and ended the boom that had put an end to boom and bust.
That phone-in was one hell of a mess. Broken up, with no clear themes allowed to develop except one; that the Conservatives shouldn’t be asking for an apology ‘cos Brown ‘was not responsible’.
This whole thing is so British.
Ruin the economy. The punters can stand that.
88p bathplugs. Again.
Turn the streets into a Stasi dreamworld. Again.
Nasty, dirty, ugly innuendos against a man’s wife. UPROAR!
Anybody can relate to that.
Pivotal weekend. Very enjoyable!
Must get outside and dig the lawn in readiness for the green shoots of the coming STORM
Brown HAS to go. Anyone who’s read Tom Bower’s excellent book (and who doesn’t live in the strange msm hinterland of short term memory) can be in no doubt that this was sanctioned by Brown. His fingerprints are all over the operation, McBride and Watson do not occupy an office at the very heart of No.10 because they’re choirboys. It’s time Brown was made responsible for his actions. Everyone knows he’s the culprit and this time he has gone too far.
Gutless Gordon sez, ” I will doo whatever it takes ” …..to cling onto power.
I wonder if the BBC have finally realised they’ve been acting as the mouthpiece of a corrupt regime? They didn’t learn anything from the David Kelly affair, so I doubt they’ll learn from this either. Oh well, roll on election night when we can enjoy the BBC and Labour take a mutual reality check. Assuming we get an election, they could always pull something like the old ‘Reichstag fire’ trick before then. I know that sounds absurd now but there have been a lot of unthinkable things happen recently.
‘I wonder if the BBC have finally realised they’ve been acting as the mouthpiece of a corrupt regime’
I think they’ve known it for quite some time, but were happy to play along with it to assist their ‘fellow travellers’. Now it’s starting to unravel, they’re looking to play the ‘look, we were taken in just like you guys!’ game. Won’t wash. The evidence is far too damning against them, and has been for decades. They need dismemberment after the next election – will Cameron say what he’ll do with them now? of course not, but you can be sure there are people willing to eviscerate them come the next election.
> They need dismemberment after the next election
Why wait until then (if it ever arrives)?
Cancel your direct debit now like a lot of us are doing and send the Beeb a juicy letter explaining why
The David Kelly/Gilligan affair was the BBC’s opportunity to stand up for itself. Instead it allowed Campbell and Blair to turn the whole fucking Iraq pack of lies onto the BBC. How Gilligan printing the truth and David Kelly being proved right and, some have suggested, murdered, could possibly be a failing of the BBC requiring the resignation of its Chairman remains a fucking mystery to me. But again I suspect some embarrassing photos/recorded conversations were shoved under important and influential peoples noses at the BBC and they found it better to go along with the governments lies than stand up to the bastards.
The problem they have with Guido is that his sins are out in the open. And he doesn’t seek to hide them. But he needs to be on the look out for the usual honey-traps because Brown, the evil fucker, will have him marked.
A mystery how Bliar got off Iraq? IMO the contents of the Hutton report were not digested by the journos with enough vigor. In the report about 2/3 through there is a sentence, where Hutton says something like ‘ If the info got changed and the intelli mob go along with it then it is alright’ , for me this was Bliar’s get out of Jail for Free card. Because Hutton had ducked the whole problem of blaming Bliar for sexing up the report and all of Hutton’s conclusions flowed from this premise.
the impartiality at the bbc need to be renewed TELL LIEBOUR TO FOCK OFF what can thay do shut you down i don’t think so thay i.e labour need the bbc more than the bbc need them
Impartial or unbiased?
You can be impartial between the Axis and the Allies in WW2 and adopt a stance somewhere between the two sides or you can be unbiasesd and call the third reich a land-grabbing scheme run by a bunch of genocidal maniacs.
The BBC has a habit of being impartial over matters which favour the Conservatives and unbiased over matters which favour Labour.f
The bald Huhne that runs it styles himself on Dolly. You’d think wardrobe could sort him out with a mullet syrup…
The Beebs a sort of suicide bomber, isn’t it? hurling itself under the wheels of on-rushing reality.
THE BBC AT NATIONAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL HAVE ALSO IGNORED THIS STORY.
The e-petition raised by Freedom To Choose (Scotland) is shown below ( with the link to the Scottish Parliament website ).
The Consultation it refers to is factually incorrect and the last paragraph of the petition is particularly worrying as the design of the consultation has been done to achieve statistics in support of ” Smoke free mental health services in Scotland. Link to Consultation Documents:-

IT HAS NOT HAD MENTIONED AT ALL IN THE UK PRESS OR MEDIA, EITHER NATIONAL OR LOCAL.
This petition is of interest to the UK as a whole as the judgement on the Rampton patients High Court Appeal , held in London on 25/26th February 2009, is still awaited. Why is this judgement taking so long?
They don’t care about reporting the truth anymore. If it doesn’t suit the political agenda, the press won’t pick it up.
They’ve reported that many lies in the past re smoking and smoking bans, that I’ve lost count.
We all know that the media is not allowed to print or report anything that does not go along with the party policy.
The smoking ban is NuLab’s favourite project as it keeps people from socialising and plotting their downfall.
Why should they worry with people with mental health problems as they do not get the chance to vote.
The BBC follows a very simple mantra:
You interview Labour supporters. And you interrogate Conservatives.
spot on!
Surely that should be, ‘Allow Labour to ramble on in answer to questions and talk over Conservatives the minute they open their mouths to reply.’
That’s how Humphreys and Mair do it.
Update on Alastair Campbell’s blog (apologies if already posted). You can tell he’s Bliar’s man…….;)
‘But it did happen on his watch and with one of his key people involved. So, on doing the right thing, there is the question of Cameron’s call for an apology. There may be politics attached to it, but it is worth asking the question – if a Tory spin doctor had been found to be planning smears against the families of Labour politicians, would we have asked for, and expected, an apology? I think the answer is yes.’
Full story here:

Brown is different to any senior polician in modern times. Blair was a vile conman but Brown is genuinely unhinged.
Look at the ‘nothing to do with me’ crap he is a spouting at the minute. Even a 10 year old kid knows that that wouldn’t wash. Its right up there with ‘some big boys did it and ran away’.
But Brown actually seems to think that this is ok, that this is a sensible, reasonable thing to say. The man is not of sound mind.
Just visited Alyingstair Campbull’s site. The stench of bullshit over there was eye-wateringly overpowering.
But … but …
ZaNu Labour seem to think that truthful revelations of, say, Nigel Griffiths sexual exploits in the House of Commons and Jacqui Smith’s stealing is equivalent to their totally fabricated stories about some Tories.
That’s cos people with the mental illness known as socialism also believe in post modernism that says truth is relative. i.e. reality is what you believe.
I know it’s shocking but that’s what it boils down to.
They are ALL literally power mad.
How can Brown possibly think that anyone in their right mind would believe that this smear campaign was nothing to do with him, or at the very least done without his full knowledge?
The fact that he even tries to take this position shows the utter contempt that he has for us and shows how divorced from reality he is.
The man is a nutcase.
Thing is that many people think Gordon is not in his or anyone else’s “right mind”.
The Prime Mentalist indeed.
Wholeheartedly agree. He showed complet contempt for us with his incredulous claim that he had nothing to do with the plot to oust Blair , remember the shameful interview with Andrew Marr? The media let him off the hook to everyone’s amazement. People won’t tolerate it this time, finally Brown has to answer for his actions, no more Macavity it wasn’t me Guv, bigger boys made me do it. This was undertaken by people he employed , the people who were closer to him than anyone. That’s a fact. He might claim that he knew nothing, AGAIN, but I don’t believe that and frankly that doesn’t mean he isn’t responsible anyway.
I thought Brown was supposed to be a man with an incredible grasp of detail , an inveterate and obsessive micro manager? Now we’re told that the he was completely ignorant of the actions of his most trusted and senior consigliere and Dolly Draper , despite invites to Chequers etc etc?
If he didn’t know WHY NOT???????????
Only Brown could keep feigning innocence. It’s craven and insulting.
Don’t Nazi apologists like David Irving sometimes claim that the Fuhrer knew nothing of the horrors that were committed in his name, or else he would have immediately put a stop to them?
Like many many others I have stopped watching, listening or reading BBC “news” output that is about the UK.
The BBC in all its forms is NuLabour’s plaything. It would be the next governments plaything (even if Tory gov) as well.
I vote to let the BBC go independent and NOT funded by the TV Tax (Licence Fee) nor UK Tax payers. If the BBC is so good I’m sure they can make money, if not bye bye.
Thing is, unfortunately that none of these expense fiddling MPs will vote to give up their plaything.
Without the BBC it would be so much harder for them to control and exercise pressure over the domestic news agenda and dinner table talk of the chattering classes.
The BBC must be broken up and sold off. Radio 1 is an obvious. Radio 4 could become Radio Guardian (well, most of its commentators are from the Grauniad, anyway). BBC1 TV could be the Labour Broadcasting Corp. and so on.
Ditch your TV and don’t pay the TV tax – you’ll feel loads better.
They should grow a pair of hairy ones and stand to report the truth for the first time in 11 years.
+++ BBC Source : Government Putting Pressure On Us +++
– We know that from Nadine Dorries’ Blog -
“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…….. 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.”
http://blog.dorries.org/Blog.aspx
That is not the government. That is lawyers acting for individuals.
Who’s face has not been seen on the BBC denouncing these scandalous revelations?
When there is NO ferking way ANY other issue would be avoided by him?
Someone who LOVES the spotlight, loves his big stupid face on telly, loves to hear his own voice and loves to turn the tables on his opponent?
Name that son of a bitch in ONE and you have the idea of where this smear really lies. One time joker of the Dark Lord is but one step away from his master!
Yes, Mandy is staying well below the radar at the moment, isn’t he?
He is busy dealing in second-hand cars. Found his metier at last.
I can feel a load of Dr Watson jokes coming on.
Nadine Dorries is explaining over on Dale how the lawyers are leaning on the media at the moment.
Johnson looks like he’d be more at home in a drape suit and a pair of brothel creepers. Broke the land speed record away from those more in need of his debatable skills in the CWU when there was a seat available. Admirable commitment.
I had nothing to do with it!
Does this face look bovvered?
Ah, classic, and well worth re-watching!
and Blair pulls it off ( he always was an actor) – can you imagine Brown trying to do this ?
Guy Fawkes birthday – feels like Christmas
To misquote from a song in A Muppet Christmas carol:
“Whenever you show sleaze, it feels like Christmas!”
Nor did I!
Anyway – WTF is the BBC talking about? The government is putting pressure on us? According to Alan ‘the mouthpiece’ Johnson the whole thing is just a small little problem blown up out of all proportion. Neatly siloed around a couple of chaps keen to see Labour, with their fabulous economic record returned to power. Uber Alles.
Johnson reminds me of George Bush wheeling out Colin Powell to destroy his own career and Presidential aspirations spouting a line of bullshit about Iraqs WMD capability to the UN. A man thoroughly embarrassed to find his integrity so compromised.
Good analogy with Powell; why is he doing it?
He wants Gordon’s job, seemples!
ca
Will this make a difference and can I please have a vote on it.
shut up and eat ya soup
I only watch the BBC to get to see how the left are thinking. For real news you can’t beat the Internet.
Damn me for only joining the blogosphere 7 months ago.
I couldn’t tell you how many ‘Universal’ remote controls have been thrown at the telly in my house because of the shite the BBC show.
I could do you a good, long line in slightly damaged Nokias you could use instead. All going for 88p, the price of a measly bathplug!
Wondered why there was a sudden BBC concern about ANOTHER coup in Thailand….
Ah, it wasn’t just me then!
This all started in Thailand.
To be impartial, surely you have to understand at what time it was decided where the mid point was?
…and presumably who by?
Nolan is a man who could start an argument in an unoccupied phone box
Congratulations on your recent work to expose the thuggery and curruption at the heart of this government. But, Guido, remember Dr. Kelly!
The BBC is as Scottish as deep-fried Mars Bar and about as healthy for the populace. Even back in 1922 John Reith emphasised his Aberdonian links to guarantee himself a job there amongst the other swarming Scots. The subsequent 87 years have seen little change.
Which is why I laugh when Salmond and his crew dribble on about the “English Broadcasting Corporation”. Given that the Scots comprise about 8% of the UK population, I suspect they are grossly overpresented in terms of senior staffing and programme output. Not to mention breakfast news weather forecasters.
The BBC forged ‘documentary’ footage of the Queen, and even Blue Peter deceived its viewers in the fixed quiz show competition saga – what excellent bed fellows for New Labour! How unsurprising that John Birt should have found himself a new home at Downing Street in Blair’s tenure.
Samson Obama, Barack’s half-brother, runs a mobile phone shop just outside Nairobi…..now we know where McGlobal’s old Nokias end up!
Fed up with the BBC? Want to save yourself an index-linked £140 p.a? YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Myth: TV Licensing are ultra-efficient geniuses who can pinpoint an unlicensed set in the space of 20 seconds.
Fact: TVL is a trading arm of Capita, the BBC’s bagmen. TVL employs moronic low-lifes as “enforcement officers”. These are nothing but salesmen who get an £18 commission for every licence they can “sell”. The BBC depends on doorstep confessions to get convictions.
Myth: You will be fined £1000 if you are caught without a licence.
Fact: First of all you have to be caught, and TVL’s goons are absurdly easy to outwit. But if you do ever get hauled before the magistrates, the fine is usually LESS than £140.
The BBC has been spewing out propaganda about TV licensing for decades. Don’t believe it! The detector vans are a myth! All the BBC has in its armoury are lies, bluster, and 23 million threatograms a year — sourced from a flaky database run by the idiots at Capita.
These sites:

It has 450,000 members so far. The goal is 10,000,000. But even at 1,000,000, the tipping point will have been reached. The TV licensing scheme in New Zealand collapsed when viewers revolted and withheld payment. The same tactic can and will work in this country.
And remember — YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Correction, 465,870 members…
Very nice exponential growth curve too.

I received a letter from the TV license folks last week saying that even they knew I had no TV but would still need a license if I had either a PC or Mobile phone, they also stated that as such devices had the ability to receive BBC content then a licence would be required, they also stated that they intend to send someone round to my home in the near future to see if I comply with the new rules.
This is a total disgrace. I opted to not pay the propaganda tax by removing the television from my home, and after an initial shock to the system, soon found life was much more healthy and rewarding.
Now I can’t even have a much used and desperately needed computer or phone in my own home. If 1968/9 can be represented with an image of a flower, then 2008/9 should have blazing into our minds eye a Nazi swastika, representing nothing other than the rise of a fascist state. How many times must we relearn the lessons of history?
But TV in New Zealand is terrible. The best stuff is usually something the BBC made about two years ago but with about 15 minutes of adverts per hour. You may save the BBC fee but you end up subscribing to Sky anyway just for something to watch.
BROWN WAS AT THE CENTRE OF IT!!!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/3217672/Gordon-Brown-copies-Telegraph-office-design-in-Downing-Street.html
.
I felt suspicious when the BBC reported Draper’s site had displayed an apology which was contrite. I looked at his shite to see for myself and yet all I could see were further accusations that smear campaigns had been conducted by ‘the right’ against Labour as if to reason that “they made me do it” and it’s all their fault Draper began the idea to smear them.
No doubts that the BBC are in on it because the “apology” was hidden in amongst a load of other bollox and unless they’d been tipped off (by who), then they’d have to have been sat waiting for Draper to type it.
BROWN WAS AT THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE -
DON’T TELL ME HE DIDN’T KNOW – HE BLOODY WELL ORGANISED IT
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/3217672/Gordon-Brown-copies-Telegraph-office-design-in-Downing-Street.html
Not sure it was wise move: the Telegraph sales were down 5.6% in March at 824k – and that includes 110k that were given away.
Can they give them away?
I thought it all started in America? Now you’re telling me it all started at the centre of the Universe? Fuck me it’s Einstein’s’ fault. German bastard.
brilliant !
Corrupt corrupt corrupt regime.
Lie and cover up.
No doubt Hazel Blears will be wheeled out to tell us that we all have to work together as a comunity to help foget the McBride incident (which, as the prime minister has already said started in America anyway!)
Is this a Global Smear then?
Firstly – the BBC should re-discover its Charter and face these people down. I can imagine the furore if a CONSERVATIVE government tried the same shennanigans
Secondly – this thing is getting deep into the public awareness – hence Labour’s blind panic. Brown won’t/can’t apologise and if even the “tame” BBC is having a go he’s going deeper and deeper in the do-do !!!
apparantly, hazel blears head can be seen from the moon. So when they are finally prevented from buggering our lives up further, we will need to send them to deep space.
Dear Kim Jong,
About your new rocket…..
That Hazel Chipmunk does like something throbbing and powerful between her too-short, chicken-like thighs! Kim’s starburst might be just right for her!
Yeah, then she’ll simper, “But Gordon has apologised already, when he didn’t even need to!” and in her private universe hordes of unicycling people juggling clubs will ride past in formation singing, “We Love the Dear Leader, We Love the Party, and we will deliver a landslide victory for Labour at the next election!”
The biggest scandal of New Labour has not yet emerged. In July 1997, they ‘amended’ a law on behalf of American franchise companies by issuing them with a memo, which was not issued to anybody else. They then altered the guide book to reflect the amendment under the disguise of the same URN (unique Reference Number) so ther eare now two guide books with the same URN.
When a company had to be investigated thye interpreted the law us per the memo rather than the law on statute and have spent 11 years and hundreds of thousands of taxpayers money covering it up, even long after the cat was out of the bag. The impact assessment held at National Archives show that by their own calculations 400,000 people were affected and thus lost their civil and criminal redress from the law.
The list of people active or with knowledge of this scandal include but are not limited to Stephen Byers, Margaret Beckett, Kim Howells, Alan Johnson (who should be jailed for his role), Melanie Johnson, Gerry Sutcliff, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Lord Goldsmith, Harriet Harman, Peter Mandelsohn, Brian Bender, Michael Scholar, Robin Young.
People have lost their businesses and their homes from this scandal but they just don’t care.
Paul Arnold message 145…more info please!
I haven’t seen my reply that i posted but to reiterate, When labour where elected in 1997, the British Franchise Association renewed lobbying to get a Tory introduced law, The Trading Schemes Act 1996, amended as the law passed onto statute.
The government issued a private memo ‘amending’ the law for franchise companies. This was mainly for American companies. At a stroke the law was effectively repealed and thousands and thousands of people have lost money from it and the taxpayer has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds to cover it up.
Oh for fuck’s sake. Go for them Guido, take the whole fucking lot of them down ending with a ritual humiliation of Brown.
Oh and Happy Birthday – I guess you’ve earned a second on alongside Brenda, whom one would hope is toasting your good health as we blether on.
The BBC is a parcel of crap. It ought to be flogged off at one of those carboot sales they are so fond of. I am not fond of Murdoch but he can have it and sink it in the shit it puts out. Taxing the public for the dubious honour and privilege of being fed govt. propaganda, recycled bullshit and sewage should be a criminal offence.
The stinking BBC has been consistently upstaged by ITV for at least 30 years, and ITV is crap.
A pox on all the bent paedophile, perverted arsewipes in the BBC and the HOC.
Guido,
Have you seen the following article by Christopher Hope of the Daily Telegraph and his version of his meeting with you re. the smear e-mails ?
Link as follows:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/5145640/How-the-Labour-smear-email-story-unfolded.html
1) The Telegraph owes Guido £20,000.
2) If Downing Street sources authenticated the emails well before the weekend why wasn’t McBride sacked (made to resign) immediately?
Because he is in utter arsewipe fuckwit. maybe?
Excellent points Icarus.
As it took Mr. Hope from 9th to the 11th to actually publish the story (oops, I nearly missed out the bit where he helped to bring about the downfall of Brown’s right hand man), I presume McBride spoke very very slowly and Mr. Hope does not do shorthand.
What’s really disturbing about the article is the past tense in the line “…… was the author of a hugely popular political blog…”
Keep your doors locked, Guido, don’t talk to strangers and seven times never go for any walks in the woods…
If, as Guido states, the Daily Labourgraph signed a confidentiality agreement, its action in using information obtained from Guido to get an authentication from No10 is actionable.
The DL’s actions are also those of complete hoons – so I guess even more will let it drop into the gutter!
<>
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
Oh, Hazel, you should do stand up!
The quote from the article where Hazel Blears blamed public cynicism about politics on right wing bloggers aroused my mirth. Soz.
I bet Snotty knew exactly what was happening and Draper is threatening to spill the beans ……that’s why he’s not been sacked….what other reason would there be?
Keep out the woods Draper you scruffy loser.
Fuck off on a woodland walk draper you Huhne.
That they didn’t know is, in itself, grounds for resignation. I mean, what a fantastic headline!:
“Out of control civil servants run libel campaign. Senior ministers in the same office and the Prime Minister knew nothing.”
Gordon Broon – a cnut
Dolly Draper – a ctun
Damian McBride -a tunc
Ally Campbell – a nuct
Jacqui Smith – has a ctnu and is married to one
NuLabour – all mixed up cntus
Sound more like Hoons to me……
No, Hoon is an apendix. No soffing use, often infected and painful, and can be removed with no detrimental effects.
Much like all of them really.
Andrew, Jacqui spliff is married to a wakner
It’s nice weather in Jacqui’s constituency today. I wonder if she and Richard Chimney have got the Taxpayers’ barbecue out ??
Has anyone yet found out if her sister pays tax on the
rent Smithy pays?
Everything is within the rules.

Guido if you need any help, I’ll do it for nothing as long as I can have a minimum of 116 grand expenses, our kid as my paid assistant and a box of DVD’s on appro.
Anything, just anything I can do to help!
Cheers.
I mean it!
If any labour MPs are reading this then understand that all labour voters will be looking at you and thinking is that what MY labour MP does. The voters will get rid of all of you because no decent person is going to want to be associated with you lot. Do something about Brown now you pathetic bunch of spineless goons.
You overestimate the morality of the average Labour voter. Some of the Labour voters I know would vote for a heap of dogshit if it wore a red rosette.
John McDonnell MP is getting a new back bottom ripped on CiF
ANOTHER ‘Muc’ in the MuckRakers Club! So far we ‘ve had MucBride,MucGuire,MucNulty,MucFadden and MuckBroon himself.
How much more Muc is there in the Labour Party ?
Where there’s muc
It’s nearly always a fucking Scot.
Please leave me out of the smear campaign I had nothing to do with it.
Honestly, there are no grounds to order an enquiry!

Trouble kicking off in Luton
The BBC is free of political interference,
Mandi says
Talking about trash wasn’t Hain once accused of robbing a bank……..if true no change there then
….I know nothing…….
Brown should be cast a Manuel in Faulty Toooers
It wasnae me………I know nothing
You are a national hero Guido. However, mind your back and watch for the proposal for legislation against the blogers who do not truly love the dear leader.
Guido is an absolute Legend whereas Gordon MucBrown is a global Bellend
All this is getting fairly old now, it is plainly obvious to all that politicians are corrupt. But then how can one say we can trust a politician from the other side, or in fact and side of the houses of (and I use this term very loosely) “representatives” surely the only way forward now is for a brand new constitution.
All troughing politicians have quoted the legalities of their snouts being legally allowed in the aforementioned trough, so if we vote in another side, what is to stop them troughing, can no one remember the Thatcher years that in my humble opinion were the formative years for the ideas of taking taxpayers money and services and selling them to cronies for their own financial gain? We all talk here of short term memories due to the MSM, however, we seem to have been fooled into thinking that one party full of sleaze means that that is all the sleaze we are going to see.
Our political system is corrupt to the core, and while I do not wish to be branded a conspiracist I do believe in there being others beyond the likes of Broon et al who are pulling strings, altering perceptions and so on. Based on the banks bail outs I cannot believe that there are influences beyond our borders or within acting for the greater good. Point of example:
I recently ordered a smallish parcel off the internet, to be delivered by Royal Mail within 2 – 4 days, on saturday of the Easter weekend, 5 days after the parcel was dispatched I rang the local depot to be told that yes the parcel was at the depot, but due to staff and van shortages as a result of funding being cut from the government the parcel could not be delivered. So why I asked can the government afford almost £1 trillion for banks, yet they cannot pay for shortages within a national company, one that would result in jobs being saved or even created? I was told by the post officer that this was a national problem and there were shortages all over the country. I find this very suspect as Mandy is currently trying to privatize the Royal Mail, in a Thatcherite style, to the benefit, undoubtedly, of his cronies at the expense of the ordinary man, the service itself and the Taxpayer. The arguments put forward for privatization are modernization and an outside influence with experience, no matter which way I look at it I cannot agree with this assessment, history even proves it so, since Thatcher privatized the country have we had better service, cheaper fares, or indeed still not had to bail out said companies with Taxpayers money anyway?
The country is going to the dogs, a good phrase that should now under current political climate be reworded into:
The country has been handed to the pigs on a golden trough.
It is time for change. We are the majority, may I suggest a vote for no hope at the next general election, surely if less than half the population vote we can demand an insight into all political wrangling and civil service effectiveness, we can re-write the rules from a fresh beginning, Labour has introduced hundreds of new laws, to right them all now surely necessitates a clean slate? not an opposition party that will have to dredge through all the red tape before finding out they cannot destroy the laws anyway.
The BBC can totally fuck off. They got in to bed with NewLabia. Fuck off and stay with them you cúnts. Make your bed and all that.
Thrice, fuck off.
“The BBC is free of political interference” did he actually say that with a straight face or does he know the BBC will do nu labour bidding without even being asked
Reith must be spinning like a bloody top
“The BBC is free of political interference but it does appreciate that Gordon sends it about £ 3.5 BILLION of taxpayers money every year ” Duh !
And don’t forget the generous contributions from the EU
My dad says i would make an excellent propaganda minister.I gave it some thought and decided i shouldn’t associate my self with shite like LabourTV.
Mr. Goebbels, are you related to Mr. Ed Balls ??
Nice ONE from Alan Johnson sometime Secretary for Health who has said
Prime Mentalist should not apologise….
so now Broon will be fucked if he does
and shagged if he does not
Excellent news!
I maintain that the conservatives focussing on asking Brownpussy to apologise is a brilliant strategy – he’s fucked if he does and buggered (which I hear he likes) if he doesn’t. Don’t underestimate Cameron – he’ll fuck NuLab and the Beeb.
Cameron’s as pathetic as snotty.
Why does it take an independent investigative snout as finely tuned as Guido’s to reveal these scandals? These revelations have exposed the inability of mainstream investigative journalism to keep up with an unfunded and unsupported individual. Guido is blazing a pathway into the unstoppable world of virtual accountability and leaving newspaper and TV editors in the rear echelons wondering where all the cavalry charged off to…
Bloody hell. The enthusiastic amateurs are better at the job than us.
At least we know what ‘media studies’ are for then.
I think that all McBroon’s folk should have a smear test. I have a box of speculae ready, and would be pleased to be of what help I can. Nothing namby-pamby you understand.
I also have electrical accessories to help the hesitant say what they know.
Naturally I would expect big dosh for this service, – but I think I could handle it.
Probably wouldn’t need to . . . what shall we say . . . ‘interview’ more than half a dozen carefully chosen names to start with.
Oh, – and I’m fully compliant with ‘elf ‘n safety, – they talk if they wanna stay ‘elfy and safe!
[this message has been carefully vetted for juvenile comments and complies with all Hazy Blur's Stalinist recommendations]
Bit of a coincidence that Toenails is on holiday and unable to comment on the biggest threat yet to Brown’s political career?
Toenails is toast.
I don’t want another fucking election. They are all totally useless.
I want a fucking revolution.
right on kids
Downfall
inspired !
3:00 pm and not a peep from Gordon Brown or the missus (who is on twitter as @sarahbrown10 ), but there again what can he say? If he comes out with a direct statement, it’s on the record and it only needs a back office numpty to dig out a memo or a meeting note, pass it to that bastion of the free press The Daily Mail and all hell breaks loose.
Better to say nothing put up a couple of middleweight Ministers to fend off the media enquiries and pull the duvet over his head and watch the re-run of the new Red Dwarf [9pm Easter Monday on Dave].
Meanwhile let the spooks go through the Mcbridie office inside 10 Downing Street, (Motto: Porky pies are us) and send the desk and laptop computers covertly over to forensics to recover the files all seemingly deleted by McBridie and associates. This of course would give Gordon the out. Can’t say anything until the evidence is in and a possible investigation, so can’t comment on the basis that it might be subjudice.
Trouble with that is Gordon (known to dislike computers and the internet) will have either dictated or scribbled drafts – in large print with his sharpie pen. Someone will have filed or copied those…
Perhaps the papers are still at Chequers following the Draper/Brown dinner, were the wives present or was the plot (if any) hatched over port and cigars once the ladies had withdrawn?
What is galling is that having spent the Olympics budget on the G20 pow wow in an industrial unit dressed up as an exhibition centre. Brown belatedly realised all his best moments were off camera and he was upstaged by a load of demonstrators, overly opressive police tactics and an unfortunate fatality.
All outside the BANK OF ENGLAND and for balance the peoples owned Royal Bank of Scotland RBS plastered everywhere as the window was stoved in – and for good measure in view all over the cash rich FI motor racing circuit and other high maintenance sporting events..now if they could change the RBS to NHS that might be better!
Brown then fled the arena and jumped on Blairforce One (OK couldn’t make that work) a bog standard BA 747 and did a rapid save the world circuit to maintain the statesman role.
Meanwhile Brown is again upstaged by the Gov. of the Bank of England then to cap itn all Tony Blair and his new found churchy trust… A wayward Tory MEP harnesses YouTube and posts a top viewing view rant against Gordon and that hits the US networks – not looking good so far…
Parliament breaks up, the political TV season goes into Purdah and the MPs retreat to their fully expensed villas, second homes and luxury boats… then the JANUARY e-mail stories break over Easter!
Gordon needs to make a stand, full and frank independent enquiry. Interim report in four weeks and a full report six weeks later. Or if he is IN ANY WAY REMOTELY INVOLVED now would be a very good time to cite his current medical and health condition and make an honourable withdrawal from public office giving another Labour worthy a fighting chance of saving something for the next General Election.
As it stands many Labour MPs facing losing their deposits and that can be laid at Mr McBrides door (err No.10) assisted in absentia by Mr Brown. It just can’t be right….
“Gordon needs to make a stand, full and frank independent enquiry”
Would you believe the results of any ‘independent’ enquiry? One way or another, it’d be a spin job. And a waste of time and our money.
Help I am to be sectioned !. The BBC and Nulabour spinners have destroyed my fucking mind. Never mind Dolly might be in the same asylum so we can practice phsycobabble smear and email it to Tom Watson ( late lamented).
Where’s my share? Dolly.
Drudge has got hold of the story
Brown’s deposit is safe as long as he’s got me backing him.
Ooh you are naughty!
But I like you!
This isn’t on, Gordon has gone to ground again. Clearly he knows he has too many awkward questions to answer, so he would rather not face them.
This is going to be Gordon’s strategy up until and throughout the election. Fight dirty, smear his opponents, and make it the most negative election campaign ever. If you thought Michael Howard’s tactics were nasty in 2005, wait until you see what Gordon Brown is planning.
Of course, he could do something to stop it right now. But he’s in hiding – yet again.
I’m still here behind this sofa!
Nurse!!! – make the nasty men go away!
I want to use my potty for another urgent jobby!

Being leaned on? In what way? Not to mention certain MPs or whetherMcBroon, the complete control freak, knew or didn’t know? I’m surprised as the BBC is Noo Labour’s creature.
A notorious control freak and micro manager who didn’t know what his closest most senior adviser McBride and Charlie Whelan, Tom Watson, Derek Draper et al we’re doing in the heart No.10 in the office next to his, and should in no way be held responsible. Despite years and year and years of previous.
It;s funny how Gordon knew nothing about Tom Watson’s plot to get rid of Blair as well.
Its worrying how little he knows – about anything!
Pathetic smears from a pathetic PM.
Wonder if Dale will apologise for saying Tom Watson was copied in on the emails? Doesn’t appear that he was, although he was mentioned.
Dale is saying that the McBride affair is now live in a national US chat show.
So instead of it all starting in America the yanks can now say it started in Limeyland.
Who wants to bet that the fat one eyed tartan skirt wearing phone throwing it all started in America wankstain does a soft interview on er….GMTV this week to deny everything?
Hell they will probably get Kate Garroway to ask the questions.
hmmm Kate……. the shining light in this whole seedy affair
Every day more and more sleaze. Sickening.
Come on Guido, it’s time to go for the jugular.
Iain Martin has an excellent piss-take on 3 line whip
Clearly a fake; no mention of ‘No booms, no busts, British jobs for British workers, I am getting on with the job, I will do whatever it takes, I am the best Chancellor since Cardinal Wolsey’
In scandals of this nature it is the cover-up which usually undoes the guilty rather than the initial dissembling; as Nixon found to his cost. Liam Byrne tried to kick the ball into the long grass with a classic storm in a tea cup interpretation of what has happened. This has made him look ridiculous and has probably finished his political aspirations. Winkling out a timeline of who said what and when will be a messy business and it is unlikely that the BBC will be of much help. A select committee of the House of Commons should be called to investigate how it was possible for somebody to try to conduct a black arts operation from the heart of 10 Downing Street without the knowledge of the Prime Minister. Placing the participants under oath before they testify may help to jog memories. If this approach is rejected fthen hopefully whistleblowers will step up to the plate and provide evidence of what has been happening at the heart of government This is a very serious challenge to our democracy and we need to know the truth warts and all.
Urgent message to Guido.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Snot Gobbler Gordo will be reassured to learn that
his Arch Goeballs of Slime ,
TOM WATSON happens to have an anagram AM SNOT TWO
Now more people know that.
TWAT MOONS springs to mind.
or even MOON TWATS
Any sightings of any Zanulabour mouthpieces in the last couple of hours?
Fawkes is at the door of the bunker, do the right thing Gormless, resign or fall upon your sword.
But that would mean making a decision wouldn’t it…..
Cillit Bride
Bang! And the smears have gone
Seriously though….has anyone got around to making a Cillit Brown T-shirt yet; you know, bang and the wealth…
Gormless will just stick around like a homesick one eyed Scottish turd.
The cover-up is only because this goes right to the top. It’s been Gordon Brown’s strategy to fight dirty for some time.
Smears and lies. That’s all that Gordon has to offer now.
That cnut never had anything to offer. Just took shit and gave it away.
spare a thought for the Blairs this afternoon – I bet Cherie is rolling around the floor laughing like a drain
Too right and when Tom Watson M.P. is sacked it will bring us to orgasm !!!!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
There’s only one thing for it, send for Andrew Marr!
I can just see Tom sailing off into the distance on his segway.
Just like that other twat Bush hopefully.
Where is that fucking twat Andrew Marr?

Maybe he was helping his wife write a piece for today’s Guardian, here’s a snippet:
Some will say this gives the prime minister a chance for a fresh start, for him to shake off his enthusiasm for the black arts. I think it’s too late. He could have changed his attitude to press briefing when Charlie Whelan, the first Brown attack dog, left. But he found another Charlie. He could have learned his lesson when he brought Stephen Carter in. But he couldn’t quite banish McBride, which meant a succession of new press officers had no real authority.
The truth is that Brown has always been double-sided in his political personality and now the whole country knows it. The ideologically serious, morally driven statesman, whose steely determination was most recently on view in his successful handling of the G20, has lived his life with a sinister twin, spinning and dealing. McBride has been an extension of that other self.
Is the Beeb is preparing for life after Brown as we speak?

Just in case anybody has forgotten it, here is a poem dedicated to (and you could almost say, written by) our glorious leader:
http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-leader/
The BBC is stating as unchallenged fact that (a) Brown knew nothing about the emails (b) Tomlinson died of a heart attack. The best that be said about the first statement is that we have yet to discover if Brown knew, but the a priori probability that he did is extremely high. On (b), the pathologist who produced the opinion of death by natural causes has already been shown to be in the pocket of the police. I find it quite impossible to believe that such emphatic assertions can be made by the BBC except under pressure of some kind.
Global Warming is a lie, politics is a lie, Gordon Brown’s a stuffed mannequin and is dead from the waist up and that is not a lie.
as I say in my blog, if the government thing they need to put pressure on the Beeb it shows two things,
1) how dictatorial they are using bullying rather than reason,
2) how screwed they are if even the BBC thinks they need to criticises the government.
not good for labour or Brown
For Sale on ebay one moral compass no longer in working order due to lack of use or misuse, formerly owned by G.Brown plus one box of Nokia phones all destroyed by impact with head of nearest SpAd. Let’s be green and recycle. G.Brown says A better Britain is a greener Britain.
Wouldn’t know his compass from his elbow
Maybe we should recycle Gordon Brown instead. Question is, what as?
….meanwhile in his dark tower, the big red (and only) eye of Sauron glowered over the landscape. His trusty henchman Saruman, whose very lips dripped poison, was gone, and Sauron’s minion, Wormtongue had been given a good kicking by all and sundry…..
Meanwhile Frodo began to stir at the news… the news from the bunker
B B C scotland belongs in its soul to the labourites , after the british secret police stuffed the ballot boxes of GLENROTHES to save the government from falling
as a result of the banking corruption threatening to engulf the british state. BBC scotshire disappeared the fact that the VOTING RETURNS HAD MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED (sorry for shouting , i’m addressing an english audience) , now i know scottish politics are seen through a glass darkly down there , so i will explain , an S N P victory was UNIVERSALLY predicted , the greatest suprise registered on the faces of the hitherto glum faces of the coterie surrounding ken roy , if voting returns had so MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED in an english constit – i dont doubt GUIDO FAWKES might have had more to say , still , we might get a less zimbabwean vote come the next general election , the dry run of GLENROTHES went well though
Where have all you mugs been for the last 14 years!! Nothing has happened that is not standard newlabour opoerating procedure. You have all been taken as fools by spin and lies for years. The bbc aid and abet new labour as a matter of fact.
watch out Guido these bastards will plant a false story on you and then expose you!
I’ve got no doubt that they’ll do that.
But the good news is that nobody would believe it. In fact, even if such a story were to be true, people still wouldn’t believe it, so Guido’s probably safer now than he’s ever been, because any such story wouldn’t be believed and would just make people hate labour even more. Guido’s on a win-win situation with this one.
Is misconduct in public office not a criminal offence? Why are the police not being called in to establish the full facts…
Because the police are politicised now!
The very least Brown is guilty of is that, within his own office, 10 Downing Street, he allowed the culture of smearing to flourish.
It seems unlikely that that is really the least of his sins.
The earlier comment on Glenrothes has merit. We know labour will lie and cheat to win at all cost.
And the investigation in Glenrothes has, like the votes themselves, been binned.
Lawyers not withstanding, other than for reasons of bias why can the Politics Show not ask Draper, with option to appear face to face offered with Guido, what was discussed at chequers between Brown and Draper, as such a meeting confirms the relationship was current and at a high level.
I am sure it will be asked elsewhere, and Draper’s silence is deafening.
Has a deal been done by Draper, effectively saying to brown do not hang me out to dry as i know it all, or I will sing like a canary?
[...] to link him to Derek Draper and Damian McBride´s part in smeargate.You can read Iain Dale here and Guido here on that.Apparently the Sun has not had the word from Tom Watson´s lawyers (no doubt paid for by [...]
Hasn’t Tom Watson resigned yet?
