There is more than one to go. Let’s take all these muthas down to Chinatown.
Indeed, there’s a whole queue of Labour Hoons needing to be dealt with – can’t wait to see the MPs expenses when they’re published (or, ideally, leaked, unedited). That should deal with another batch of them (including some of the Tory old guard too – e.g. the grasping Wintertons).

Does the cartoon imply that Guido has something on Brown.
We can only hope.
What about the other two recipients of McBride’s email – Dodgshon and Whelan? They were evidenty not incensed or upset enough to either alert GB (or Watson) or stop this at the outset. Do we have their responses too? The dates and times will be most illuminating.
There is a bad smell here .. all the signs clearly point to the PM (and not just his demanding WC habits). We have concerted actions by a sorry bunch with McBride as the convenient patsy. I note silence from Whelan and Dodgshon.
lmfao.
History in the making…. thanks Guido!
V Indeed – a significant milestone has been reached – an on-line, NOT print or broadcast journalist, has taken a no10 aide down. The democratisation of truth continues in its inexorable path of progress!
Well done Guido, you’ve done us proud.
A fellow human being.
…Lev
I am not sure they have quite caught your fiendish grin…..
I suppose considering the circumstances you deserve a bit of tumescence.
is that his glass eye nailed to the board?
snigger
Great scoop. But a really shit cartoon.
Who needs the cartoon to lift their spirits on this Monday morning when McBust and his scheming sewer rats are where they belong – in deep shit? Made my Easter!!
Downfall
Highly recommended!
Abso.fucking.lootly.brilliant
plllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasssssseeeeee let there be an email with Gordon cc’ed on it or some words incriminating him tomorrow pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaassseeee
Watching Labour squirm like the disease-ridden rats they are gives me a warmer glow than any single malt.
Agreed!
Problem is King Rat is still there. Who will set the ultimate trap?
I’m just hopeful that Guido still has something more to pull out of the hat & that he’s just waiting until brown has done all his ‘regret’ letters saying that he knew nothing about it & neither did anyone else at No10 – then ‘bingo’. Actually, he’s already hoist on his own petard as Watson & Whelan were c.c.’d……… Are they not Drowning Street people?
and where’s Dolly?
Dolly is now just a non person, he is no more, he is an ex spinner, and if McBride had not nailed him to his perch….
No one will touch him with a septic barge pole now. Most of the links to LabourList have gone…he will disappear as an irrelevant afterthought.
Don’t worry Tp, Dolly Dipshit is right here!
that is so good!
Lord Guido, tell us what you said in the text messages to McPoison.
hi & bi …..probably
Probably HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you stupid techno-illiterate fuck.
Love it ALL!!!
I certainly hope Guido manages to scalp that pontoon-eyed twat Gordon Brown soon, but the haggis worrier is slipperier than whale shit in an ice flow.
In the meantime it would be a good idea to keep a breadboard between your shoulderblades and don’t go walking alone in the woods Guido…..
Brown, and the rest of his gang, really are completely inept cocks who deserve to share the fate of John Wayne Bobbitt….
….but without the possibility of a successful re-attachment.
..and without the successful porn career…
someone call?
Those trophy shields should have been bog seats. (Up, of course)
Down, if you don’t mind.
Nonsense, the correct position is up. You should be grateful we bother to lift the thing in the first place. :)
bad karma if up
Have I been wrong all these years in assuming that Guido is pron. Geedo?
Half the media are pronouncing it Gweedo. Almost as if these top notch journos with their fingers on the pulse are coming across the name for the first time.
Correct pron. is ‘geedo’ I believe. No ‘w’.
Can you confirm GF?
Brilliant – what’s the odds that one or more of the MSM contact you to use it? ;)
Absolutely – this is one of those “where were you…” moments. Thank you Guido, Sleazefinder General. Brown is trapped – he cannot afford to apologise – nor can he afford not to apologise.
Great cartoon.
Has Guido told anyone yet how he knew about the emails?
Probably leaked by a member of Brown’s own cabinet! Or a would-be labour leader. Who’s been strangely quiet recently – Harman, Straw, Johnson? Hmmm…..
Yes, he told everyone earlier today. Did you miss it fool?
Well, obviously. Care you inform me?
It was the leak fairy, Guido woke up and there was the email under his pillow
The home Secretary , Jacqui Smith – fresh from an Oscar-winning performance in her latest movie ‘Tax Free Wanks’ – decreed that all emails from everyone everywhere should be recorded for the national security. This data is now available to a whole new army of workers who have hitherto been frustrated by their helplessness in the face of the current Reich. Somewhere within their ranks are men and women who have a conscience – and Guido’s address :) God bless them.
Could have been Draper himself. Took fright at what they were asking him to do.
Emailgate = Watergate
Gordon Brown is the Nixon of our day.
He deserves the same fate.
Nixon was elected – twice!
Gordon has never been elected.
Yep, good point, as much of a knob nugget Nixon was, he did actually win an election.
I can’t wait for this alternative Government……..it’s got to be shit hot for all this amazing public blood shed……
Small Gods eh……..?
Guido:
May we humbly present you with This little on-line acknowledgement for a job well done.
I see that Rich & Mark have been generous to you in the trouser department.
A reflection that you have bigger balls than so called professional journos perhaps.
Take the slippery evil Hoon down, Guido.
Superb work this week, sir!
The ghost of Robin Cook?
I hope Guido is fireproof with regards the receipt of the McFilth emails.
Our glorious and beloved Labour masters will surely be looking for an angle which will enable them to order their Police puppets to put the frighteners on him.
Surely there’s no way McDoom will let this one go?
He is probably even now literally twisted in his venom and rage to get even with Guido, hatred etched across his pale, ugly, jowled mug.
Other people who expose the truth about Labour’s lies apparently kill themselves………
No, I suspect that Brown still hasn’t woken up to the fact that it matters. Jack Straw will probably have to explain it to him.
You’ll need a bigger wall, Guido – the monocular moron of the manse will be sacrificing plenty of cannon fodder before he finally cracks.
Nice job so far, though – it brightened up an otherwise depressing weekend.
Game, set and match,
played with skill,
but now never rest as the hounds are released,
and the last one is a past master of evil,
do not walk in the forest alone…………
Good piece by Libby Purves………apart from the fact that she labels you ’smug’, Guido!
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/libby_purves/article6082395.ece
I think even Guido will admit he’s smug.
After this weekend Guido is allowed to feel smug.
No smug without fire.
Alan Douglas
I think on this occasion ’smug’ is absolutely fine – and so much better than mandacity, smearing, inventing, cheating, scheming…….
Being smug is better than being a mug.
Gordon’s spin machine isn’t out of control, it’s doing exactly what Gordon wants it to do. Unfortunately for Brown, it got caught.
This is Brown all over. This is his spin machine – bigger than Blair’s – and it is working overtime on what is going to be the nastiest election campaign ever. Eat your heart out Michael Howard, there are no depths to which Brown will not sink.
I note that Brown still has not apologised. He is responsible – but where is he?
Read my book on Gordon Brown and you will see his fingerprints are all over this.

Compare the smear cats.
Genius!
Amusing.
Seemples!
Sheer class!
Guido could make a good post with this.
Brilliant! Wish I had thought of that. Genius.
Hope Guido links to it and uses it!
More at The Red Rag
Brilliant !

GORDON LOVES A SMEAR!!!!!!!!!!
AS HE DID THIS IN THE H.O.C
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/Gordon-Brown-Calls-For-Inquiry-Into-Osborne-Corfu-Row-but-Tories-Say-He-Is-Desperate/Article/200810415125813
MORE TO COME…….
“GORDON LOVES A SMEAR!!!!!!!!!!”
Like most c***s, he needs a regular smear test…it’s all on the national health, thanks to Dr Gyno Fawkes.
REMEMBER THIS?
GORDONS MOST FAMOUS PUBLIC SMEAR?
http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2008/11/pmqs-shame-on-gordon-brown.html
is he working for the chinese ? the russians? bilderbergers?
it definately isn’t us!
Brown deserves to die.
As your blog says the point of no return has passed.
We UK subjects have had enough of these hoons. We want an Election now!
whoops a daisy………..they cant find any evidence……….hoons!
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6083205.ece
Thank bofl for the heads up.
“Investigators are concerned that they have not found any firm evidence linking the men to terrorist attack plans. A source close to the inquiry said: “There is already talk of coming up empty-handed and there is terrible infighting between the different forces involved.” ”
Was Operation Pathway just a red rag herring then? or just a PC Plod fuck up?
The timing of the operation sure distracted media attention from the death of Ian Tomlinson (passer by during protests at the G20 in London) for a few days. How fucking convenient.
So if innocent (and their permits in are order) they should be allowed to get on with their UK studies if they want to, rather than deported. Why fucking deported if they are innocent ? Makes the UK look a complete totalitarian cesspit led my Gordon the moron……
Good job (for him) that Bob the Superplod was so “Quick” to resign. After this, he’d have been queuing up for his pension anyway.
Shame for the students but they have served the great Gordon Brown as a ‘distraction’. Great that Guido had the emails as an even greater distraction.
And they’ve timed the publication of this cock-up so that it gets lost in the furore over Emailgate. A good time to bury bad news…?
Or perhaps they’re hoping this cock-up will drive the emailgate story off the news. Not that its likely too. This one went all the way to the top.
The scandal was partly revealed in the version of the image of Quick’s briefing note published by The Times, in which clearly visible was a paragraph about “Media handling”. Unfortunately, the detail was hidden behind his arm, but what little was visible suggested a high profile media stance was planned.
Culpability Brown was in on this. He must apologise or resign.
Is it me or does McBride look like Wayne Rooney?
Indeed he does.
Having torn a strip through the political classes, perhaps Guido could now turn his attention to Ross, Brand and those snarky celebrity tw*ts who pollute our screens and airwaves. They seem in even greater need of a humbling than our Great Leader (and most of them are groupies of him anyway).
Vote Lib Dem!
And why don’t you just fuck off Mister Anonymous?
No compared to mcBride rooney is a brad pit lookalike :-)
And I’d rather Jonathan Ross would fuck off and die quietly before any Lib dem voter and that’s saying something
seconded
How many own goals does Rooney score?
More like one o ma jobbies.
The problem is – as much as I admire Guido’s crusade against corrupt politicos – where does it all end? This blog is every bit as much of an attack dog as Drapper wanted RedRag to be. We can keep tearing scraps out of each other, and slowly tear down anything of substance until we are all battered, bloodied and bruised – and worse off. There has to be some new code of conduct.
It’s just possible that the Blogosphere isn’t the answer to the problem, it is the problem.
don’t talk bollocks!!!!!!!!
the reason the uk is a shithole is because of the corrupt people in charge……
but -oh no-lets blame everyone else .
perhaps the Leader and his bunch of cnuts could show some leadership and be role models?
standing in the hoc braying like crazed 3 year olds-making up emails-stealing our money under the guise of wanking and bulimia…….
oh yea..thats all guidos fault……….twat!
er no – not really. Whilst I generally don’t use the colourful language of many here, none the less the blogs are allowing far more light into politics and this has to be a ggod thing. If the MSM had been doing their job this would not be such a big issue – but they have let us down and thankfully the interwebby allows debate to take place.
So no – the blogs are not the problem – the fucking lying troughing politicians are – bastards…………………we need politicos who have principles and a clear vision, not these party placemen
The Establishment used similar arguments to condemn John Wilkes’ pamphlets about George III as Anonymous here is martialling to condemn the blogosphere.
If you put your faith in the Establishment press to police their political masters, you’re giving governments a licence to reverse every freedom that Wilkes and his brave jury served time in the Tower of London to guarantee for future generations.
Freedom of speech and open debate guarantee of all of our other freedoms. If that results in blood being metaphorically shed occasionally, so what. Politicians heal well, and the alternative is too frightening to contemplate.
Seconded.
Where does it all end? Hopefully when all the dirty bastards infesting parliament fuck off.
Another”shoot the messenger” moron.
At the end of the day the rabid comments can be counter-productive. If people go over the top they’ll attract state intervention on the internet blogs. Liberals might go round saying freedom of expression is a right, but it isn’t – its a privellage which the elites end up cutting down on if we abuse it.
@Mitch – McBride and Draper would consider themselves the “messenger” too (they just make their stuff up). Are you defending their right to spread lies?
If it wasn’t for sites like this nothing would come to the publics attention.
BBC/MSM all know about the goings on but they are so far up the arse of NuLabour only their toes are showing.
Try reading Private Eye!

Brown is in shit!
Brown’s head is sinking into his body so fast he’ll have his nose in it soon.
We know the nature of the smears Gordon Brown had lined up against the Tories, but he was also planning to smear the Lib Dems too. What were the nature of those slurs? Anyone know if they were of a similar nature?
does it matter ??? the point is the attempt to smear, not the content. By focusing on the content you play right into their hands – stay above the detail and focus on the bigger issue
Fair enough. You’re right, Brown lords it over a thoroughly despicable spin-obsessed regime and that’s a story that will run for a while.
I’m sure the details will emerge anyway. He’s a nasty piece of work, and he will have set his attack dogs on anyone he considers a threat. Funny thing is, Gordon Brown is the Labour party’s biggest threat of all.
The latest poll results say otherwise anon, despite 12 years of these corrupt tossers there are still many people who have just swallowed Gordon’s G20’s just saved the world economy Jizz
G20 won’t be enough to save Brown. The stardust is disappearing already.

cllr grant:
the first point is a fair one, but i don’t want to drop the guy in it. its hardly the same as constructing an entire defamatory character assassination based on lies like staines has. as for the daily email it comes out every weekday and has done since our soft launch. back copies are available on our website, read them, you might become a convert ;)
http://derekdrapersblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/paul-staines-aka-guidos-latest-lies.html#comments
Well, I suppose I can quite see his point. Not very sporting of you to do that sort of thing, GF.
looking at it guido need to add two more mounts to the wall perhaps three if wheelan cant avoid it . when a left winger starts wanting an enquiry someones thinking about what keeping gordon on means now .
spot of latin quotation (hopefully)
Utque alios industria ita hunc ignavia ad famam protulerat (Tacitus)
Have Rich and Mark not forgotten at least two other scalps…Darling and Mandelsohn?
Stalin, Mad Dog, and Dolly Fawked. Keep up the good work!
Brilliant work Guido, and long may it continue! Having said that, have you read the article by Christopher Hope in the Telegraph today? He writes; `Guido Fawkes made clear he was offering the emails to other newspapers, and wanted a fee if The Daily Telegraph would like to use them. He mentioned a sum of £20,000.’
He then goes on to say that they decided not to pay you. Can you confirm that this version of events is true?
This question has been asked several times but it appears Guido cannot confirm it as either true or untrue. It needs clearing up.
Dear Mr Brown.
The British people(of whom you are so fond of referring to in your many speeches both at home and abroad)have requested that I write to respectfully ask that you answer the following
1. Why is Derek Draper still in “situ” and not either resigned as any honourable person would or been sacked as Editor of the Labour sponsored – LabourList.org when the other party to these scurrilous and obscene E Mails, whom is or was one of your closest aides(of that more later) has?
2. Who else within Downing Street is implicated and if they are found to be active in regard to these E- Mails -what acton do you intend to take ?
3. Are you seriously telling the public that you were totally unaware of the kind of actions that people in Downing Street and paid by the taxpayer( and of whom you placed the highest trust in ) were engaged in this sort of activity ? This is either ingenuous or if correct suggesst that you do not have firm control of your aides activities or of your personal office
4. You may not have personally been aware of or condoned such actions and on balance our members think that deep down you are a decent and honorable man but surely these people worked in your government of which you are Prime Minister of or the Labour Party of which you are Leader and you must see the untold damage it is doing to both yourself and the Party by not offering a fulsome and personal apology ?
5. In addition you must make it clear that Mr McBride will not be involved in any capacity within the Labour whilst you are Leader otherwise it will seem that the Party and yourself do not feel his offence was particularly serious and that you do not understand the high level of revulsion in the country over his behaviour
I appreciate that these matters are sensitive and difficult and have no doubt caused you feel some personal anger particularly being a husband and father yourself against the offensive remarks regarding a Senior Conservative politician’s wives in particular(at least I hope you feel anger and that it is for the content and tone of these communications rather than the fact they have been brought into the public domain)but you will recover some public respect if you acknowledge your personal feelings by apologising to both the subjects of the E Mails and we, the public,and also assure we,the public, that this sort of behaviour has no place in British politics. The members of the Court would also expect both Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg to affirm the same
The ball is now in your court, Mr Brown. the British people and Members of the Court of Public Opinion await your response
Yours sincerely,
Clerk to the Court
“Fook aff.”
G Brown
I bet Harman regrets coining that phrase…
My goodness, a call to “shoot the messenger” ! Classic !
Alan Douglas
Nice one!
Great work. I just hope you get the third one very, very soon. JD.
One more! No we want ALL of their heads. If we don’t get them, as this economic mire deepens the people will want them. Reminds me of Mussolini and his wife hanging from a…oh well you know the rest.
Next to go!
Those who came out to defend Brown. Where is he by the way?
That slimy geezer Pounds first though. That other slimy geezer Vaz next.
Guido – Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ……. for getting rid of this foul bunch of chancers……..one by one………unelected Brown next……PLEASE!
Well done Guido – you’re a hero of the people.
Just take care in the woods.
I don’t think it is too pedantic to point out that in item 95, in the penultimate paragraph and the fourth line, “wives” should read “wife”. At least I assume so – if it doesn’t a whole new line of enquiry opens up.
Apologies for spelling and some grammatical errors. In mitigation – I had not had my early morning coffee(as I believe more illustrious personages than me require to be served on their entry to the office ?)- His Lordship has already remonstrated with me over the spelling errors but he had expressed the wish that I communicate with Mr Brown at an earlier hour as possible before the Court sits later in the day so that Mr Brown has sufficient time to draft his reply via the media – Clerk to the Court
The bride was in charge of strategy…………
The curtainmaker in charge of tactics……….
Are we really to believe that the groom never ever asked his right hand man what the strategy was?
SB: Hi hun, how was work today?
GB: Oh you know, not too bad, just getting on with the job doing whats best for hard working families. And of course, the G20 went well last week. Waiting for the latest polls, if things carry on like this, there will be more than one resurrection this week eh? I really think we’ve turned a corner now Damian’s in charge of strategy and that. I must say though, I could do without all this expenses stuff, but it’ll blow over. Oooh look, the football’s on Sky tonight. Whats for tea?
SB: Toad in the hole. Talking of which, how is Damian getting on with his new job, must be quite a change from before for him?
GB: Well, theres a funny thing, he doesn’t really say. I suppose he just getting on with the job, lots of meetings and that with Derek somewhere called the Red Line in Whitehall, I think. When we speak three times a week, we just chat about the football really. So, err, I just don’t know…. he’s a big fan of Sir Alex though.
SB: You said in charge of strategy didn’t you? I though he advised on strategy.
GB: Advised?
SB: Yes, you know, strategy “advsior”….
GB: Darling don’t be so silly, that would mean he had to tell somebody what he was doing….. and I could never have that, could I?
As a new reader of your blog ,with reference to the caption “ONE TO GO”, all l can say is ‘ go get him and happy hunting ‘
Sir,
Appalling behaviour. Filling one’s glass to the brim with (I hope) fine Margaux is the mark of a cad and a bounder.
yours disgustedly &c, &c.
One to go?
I would have thought that there would have been at least 646 targets in Guido’s scope!
Keep at ‘em, Guido!
I have no time to apologise for that which I had no knowledge. I’m far to busy attending to global problems that require global solutions – which only I can formulate.
For instance, the financial crisis. As the banks refuse to lend, I’ve been redistributing the wealth to the deserving. Those with only two, three or four homes who have to spend working hours away from their families. Like poor Jaqui Smith who is forced to live life away from her husband in a small bedroom at her sister’s.
Then there is the Green Agenda. I’m making an example by recycling green waste through eating my snot.
Unemployment is also high on the agenda. I’ve set the example by giving jobs to those who otherwise would be unemployable. Ministers and others who sit and listen to my prologues around the Cabinet table. Let’s not forget that nice Peter Mandelson either.
So be gone with you. I have very important work to complete and, I’m told, little time to finish it. (Though I am working on that one as well.)
Your Supreme Leader,
Gordon of Scotland
tess of the blogursvilles says go get him.
It should be Brown’s arse hanging there, then Mandy will haves omewhere to park his bike.
Ohhhhh the thought of the sight of that! Wonderful.
Fink, the boys’ll be round feeling under collars.
Just a couple of observations
1) When I reach 34 I hope I don’t look as haggered as McPoison – Surely his media age – I must have read it wrong – or maybe a leaky gene?
2) Red Rag – WTF? Isn’t that a used sanitary product?
How come the dear speaker of the house has so far avoided being mounted?
LDL
Definitely 2 to go, when are you going for mandy?-
I’m just glad he’s not stimulating my f……..
Just a thought but did you know …….fiscal (the word he loves) comes from the Afrikaans word “fiskaal” meaning ‘public official, hangman’, because they hang their prey on thorns for storage……….rather apt don’t you think
