So Gordon, About this Letter…
Gordon has announced he is going to write letters to all those smeared in emails from Damian McBride. Good, remember how this all started; McBride emailed Draper a text-sketch on how to smear Iain Dale as a racist. A week later on Friday, February 13, he emailed Draper again with the ammunition to smear Guido as a racist too. Alas we were not to get the more exotic dildo/vibrator fantasy stories he concocted for Tory MPs.
McBride smeared Dale and Guido by email via Draper’s website. Derek having lied about this, has belatedly admitted the truth, having denied it repeatedly live on TV to myself and Andrew Neil.
I will frame Gordon’s letter of regret for what McBride did. He is going to send one, isn’t he?
Draper is a LIAR.
Dear Guido
I am writing about the Code of Conduct for Bloggers, and the proposals I want to make to tighten this up.
I have already taken responsibility for acting on this – first by accepting far reaching monitoring, tracking and logging by GCHQ of all internet activity originating from or passing though United Kingdom Internet Service Providers, Internet Points of Presence or Internet exchanges.
Any activity such as this that affects the reputation of United Kingdom and so is in the public interest to monitor, control and limit if required.
I have also written personally to all those other bloggers who were subject to these unsubstantiated claims.
Mr McBride has apologised and done so unreservedly. But it is also important to make sure such behaviour does not happen again.
Bloggers, such as yourself, who leak such emails make this task so much harder, since this is the only means that such behaviour is drawn to the attention of the UK public.
Any activity such as email leaks that affects the reputation of our politics is a matter of great regret to me and I am ready to take whatever action is necessary to improve our internet control system.
I would therefore now like a more explicit assurance included in the Bloggers Code of Conduct that not only are the highest standards expected of Bloggers but that the preparation or dissemination of inappropriate material as decided by the government or personal attacks have no part to play in the job of being a Blogger, just as it has no part to play in the conduct of all our public life.
I also think it right to make it a part of the Bloggers contract by asking our Bloggers to sign such an assurance and to recognise that if they are ever found to be preparing and disseminating inappropriate material they will automatically be face criminal investigation with possible imprisonment for up to 30 years with no computer nor internet access of any description.
I think you will agree that all of us in public life have a responsibility to ensure that we observe the highest standards.
Like the overwhelming majority of figures in public life across the political spectrum, I entered politics because of a sense of public duty and to improve the lives and opportunities of those less fortunate than me. I don’t wish this to be shown as no longer true by Bloggers.
My undivided focus as prime minister is on acting to make Britain a fairer, safer and more prosperous nation and, in particular, on guiding the country through the current economic and blogging difficulties.
The public would expect no less and would also expect the highest possible standards from all their bloggers, politicians and all those who work for them.
Yours sincerely
Gordon Brown.
‘Bloggers Code of Conduct’, ‘Bloggers contract’, etc. Easy to dismiss this as a spoof but, this morning, the useless Hazel Blears is on BBC Breakfast and, having skated over the business of ‘inappropriate’ emails, she returns to her theme of the ‘corrosive’ nature of some political blogs. She thinks politics is so much better conducted ‘face to face’ and clearly doesn’t see the irony of this statement set against the murky secrecy of the McBride/Draper axis.
So who appointed this cretin McBride then?
Where’s Tom Watson? Any news? He must be next in line for the ‘treatment’, surely? After all, Watson’s the guy Brown’s desperately trying to cover. Watson knows where Brown’s bodies are buried. The Blair gang, in the Mafiosi sense, have ‘unfinished business’ with Watson, so things would get really interesting if he’s flushed out.
Some people are fast.
Avert your eyes if you don’t want to watch that chipmunk Blears, a disgusting performance by her.
If GB needs a new code in order to sack those advisers who broadcast inappropriate unsubstantiated disinformation then how come he could sack Damian under the current code ?
Yeehaaaw, Whoopee-Do!! Gordon McRuin and his ‘Poisonoous Goons’ are ‘outed’ for what they are. A bunch of lieing, sleaze-bound, scandal mongering fackwits.
And it gets better, and better. Whats the betting the ZaNuLab-Pf Partie’s slease department will resurrect itself the nearer to a General Election we move!!
Pa Broone is looking more and more threadbare, just like the slobbering, gibbering, blethering comedy character ‘Rab C Nesbitt’.
Keep up the good world, Gordo. Who knows, you might still get a job as a Latrine Attendant at ‘Maplins’ Holdiay Camp in time for the summer ‘Hi De Hi’ season….!!

Gordon Brown writing about the Code of Conduct for Bloggers and his proposals he wants to make to tighten this up.
Reply:
Have you noticed Gordon your use of the word ‘want’? You always says what he ‘want’ to do – you never say what you can do, except, that is, when it comes to gagging and silencing your critics you resort to threats with the use of GCHQ inter alia.
Oh! Gordon, such statements have bloggers shaking in their shoes, and to think that you have such reaching powers, yet with such far reaching monitoring and tracking do you agree that you would be better to use GCHQ to track down and claw back the hundreds of billions of pounds from unscrupulous bankers. After all, You were responsible for changing the banking system.
CHANGE OF THE SYSTEM
Up until 1997, the Bank of England controlled the financial system. Mortgages were protected from such abuse, under existing safeguards of regulations and the law, mortgages, in particular, were sacrosanct. Mortgages were only to be used for the purchase of property – loans for all other purchases had to be through a bank loan or hire purchase, which were short term and had a higher rate of interest. Lending banks and building societies were strictly regulated in order to protect homeowners, the security of their asset and its valuation upon which mortgage deeds depend. Lending for consumer spending on domestic and luxury goods were kept separate with a firewall similar to Glass Stegall.
However in 1997, when you were, Chancellor, you decided that you didn’t like that anymore. So he introduced a system were we had, the Financial Services Authority, the Treasury, and the Bank of England, (the Tripartite Authorities) carving up the job amongst them. Just one big problem – when there was a crisis, ‘apparently’ nobody knew who was in control. The effect of all this – the Chancellor at the helm, in effect, you handed over all your possession, power and control of Britain’s economy to unscrupulous foreign bankers over which you had no jurisdiction or authority – the system unregulated.
One should keep in mind – who’s idea was it to change the banking system? was it your idea? was it the Bankers’? or was it both?
But, Gordon, whether it happens again is, by your statement, neither here or there. The facts are that all these matters, most foul, did happen under your watch and wouldn’t have come to light had GCHQ, FSA, HM Treasury, been up to the job. The unscrupulous bankers’ knew exactly what they were doing. They were the ones who dreamed up CLO’s and similar products and knew how to use them to make themselves a fortune, massive bonuses’, fat pensions inter alia, at the expense of homeowners’, taxpayers’ and our economy vandalised. They most certainly were No Novices.
But what if the e-mails hadn’t been leaked? You wouldn’t have known what your right hand man and chief advisor was up too. Surly, Gordon you should be taking whatever action is necessary to improve the tarnished reputation of your governance and control over your advisors behaviour. You should be grateful to bloggers for their assistance.
Now Gordon, what makes you think you or your government are qualified to decide by self-regulation what is inappropriate conduct of your own government members? Bloggers would therefore now like a more explicit assurance included in the Politicians Code of Conduct that not only are the highest standards expected of Politicians but that the preparation or dissemination of inappropriate material as decided not by the government but by the electorate.
Making such statements to gag bloggers, journalists and critics is not playing cricket. If your advisor colleges were acting honestly and with integrity and you have nothing to hide, why then should you fear your critics? Surly, taking such action to gag and silence them is that of paranoia doctorial behaviour which has no place in any democracy.
You say: you think it right to make it a part of the Bloggers contract by asking our Bloggers to sign such an assurance and to recognise that if they are ever found to be preparing and disseminating inappropriate material they will automatically be face criminal investigation with possible imprisonment for up to 30 years with no computer nor internet access of any description.
Well, funny enough, we also think it right to make it a part of the Politicians contract by making it mandatory that our Politicians to sign such an assurance and to recognise that if they are ever found to be preparing and disseminating inappropriate material they will automatically be face criminal investigation with possible imprisonment for up to 30 years with no computer nor internet access of any description.
Well, Gordon, the enemy within is waiting for you to call a general election and as you know that whilst you are away, around the world, the mice will play.
So, the real question about all this illusion, smoke and mirrors which, in the end, signifys nothing and doesn’t help the starving of the world, the impoverished or the unemployed, is who is Guido Fawkes and how did this right wing Tory boy get hold of an email belonging to a Labour Party aide. Can’t anyone see what is happening here, this is the real dumming down, people like Guido Fawkes are the real chavs.
Hey, Guido is a nice guy …. honest!
“Just passing through …”
“which, in the end, signifys [sic] nothing and doesn’t help the starving of the world, the impoverished or the unemployed…”
But this will ultimately help the starving, the impoverished and the unemployed (God willing) by bringing about the demise of this corrupt, venal and ultimately incompetent government.
Oh, and it’s ’signifies’ by the way, you semi-literate Hoon.
Is that ‘dumbing down’ or ‘dumming down’ like wot u writ?
Fucking illiterate hoon trying to be clever!
Dear Kris,
I am not going to mock you.
I believe that your lack of educational achievement is truly not your fault, however, perhaps you might care to try a little harder another time.
Educated post-1997?
Are you the tool that posts on Labourlist
‘Kris Alienz (pronounced Ah -Lee- Enz)’?
And there was me thinking it was Tos-Sir
More from a Brown sycophant talking absolute tosh! (I refer to the pseudonym Kris Alienz just in case there is any doubt). Interestingly enough, the phrase ‘tory boy’ is used a lot by Draper and the number 10 spin machine.
The Damian McBride business was a complete surprise to the Prime Minister.
The Damien Green business was a complete surprise to the Home Secretary.
It seems that, just like McNulty, Hoon and the rest of the cabinet, these two are shit-hot on matters pertaining to expense allowances but sadly lacking any knowledge of events within their offices of state.
No Peter it is ‘dumming down’ it is called irony you complete thicko!!! The real question is how did Guido get those emails?? Look deeper you sad people.
Dear Kris,
Re ‘complete thicko’: are you applying this epithet to Peter Grimes or poor, innocent pissed off voter? If the former do try and comment in the right place. You wouldn’t want to be seen as a complete thicko, would you?
Draper is also a KUNT.
He has the look of someone you wouldn’t trust in a park!
A lie – “Gordon is a peodofile.”
—
An “unsubstantiated claim” – “Gordon is a pedophile.”
But is it a lie?
—
The truth – ZNL is the enemy of the people.
shouldn’t that be “paedophile”?
Operation Ore has the answer to that one!
What is the real story behind Dunblane?
What is the real story behind Dunblane? Are the ‘papers’ locked away for the next few decades? Why?
Actually it is “pædophile”.
Spelin’s yor problem.
Gordon* just likes a firm young round butt.
*unsubstantiated claim
If Brown was truly innocent of all knowledge, he will doubtless be grateful to Guido for bringing such a dreadful state of affairs within his office to his attention. CBE for Guido for services to politics in next Honours List?
“I have also written personally to all those who were subject to these unsubstantiated claims.”
Not lies, not slurs, not madeupfilthandscum…
“unsubstantiated claims”
Oh dear…I wondered why this story has dominated the news for three days. Now I know. He BELIEVES Damien McBride spoke the truth but can’t substantiate it. He ACTUALLY BELIEVES IT.
apparently he expresses ‘regret’ (–that I have been rumbled–) in these letters rather than personally apologies – quelle fucking surprise.
I am an independent councillor on a small town council, yet we have routine unannounced audits of all the Town Council computers. I know because I carry them out. We check for inappropriate email both in and out, inappropriate web page viewing.
The computers are being paid for by the taxpayer, and have to be used correctly.
And yet nothing like this seems to happen in 10 Downing Street. This McBride is a paid civil servant, using taxpayer funded equipment.
Here is a suggestion Mr Brown. Why do you not do what a small Town Council does, and have unannounced audits of No 10 computers.
You are supposed to be running the country and you allow this to happen in your own office.
You are a disgrace to UK
My biggest issue with this is that when this was smear campaign was first mooted it was not slapped down so hard that whomever had brought it up would be seeing stars for a month.
The fact that this was thought to be a possible tactic to me is so far beyond the pale as to render its instigators pariah status. The fact that McBride thought it okay to email possible items shows how far out of touch he is.
A culture that allows these thoughts to be expressed, in a semi serious way is wrong. Sure we all can understand them telling jokes BUT these items wwere meant to be taken seriously.
This smear campaign could only have happened if it had received the nod from the boss. Whether or not Broon knew the exact details is not the point – nothing of this nature would ever have gone ahead without Broon’s acquiescence.
The pus at the very centre of the boil has now been located; the necessary lancing should not be delayed further.
‘The fact that McBride thought it okay to email possible items shows how far out of touch he is’.
The thing is we are told how clever and politically-savvy McBride is so, despite lame protestations of innocence from No. 10, maybe he was very much ‘in touch’.
Alister, of course, is exactly right. It takes a bunkered group mentality to drift so far from reality – but we know that these things happen.
Now sit quietly Gordon, I’m here to help.
READ ALL ABOUT IT
If you have depression and need a lift, do not consult Dolly Draper (liar) as his qualifications are not what they might seem,
no,
read POLLARD in The Times today.
Blogs are bad; print-trees media is good; J Chron is better.
Did I say Pollard? I meant Hoon.
I remember his last excellent column recently, in which Pollard (Hoon) noted that it was unlikely these so-called mobile telephones would become popular: he really is abreast of current trends.
PS
Guido – meet you at MI5 if you’re in later collecting your mail.
WTF?
Apology? Don’t hold your breath, mate.
Draper. Ha ha what a complete plank. His ghastly whining is testament to how utterly untalented he is. Derek, please go back to the US and pretend to get some further education whilst buying meaningless qualifications off the internet
The hole they dig for themselves gets deeper by the hour
Draper has lunch at chequers.
All the pieces of the Jigsaw are starting to come together.
BROWN > Shite man, we’re nae daein tae good in the pools Damo, dae yae know a Belter wha can sae the Tory Fandans.

BROWN > ya Dancer, an dannae faeget the Electric Soup.
‘Thou canst not say I did it’ – Macbeth to Banquo’s ghost. They’ve had the concept of plausible deniability up in Scotland for quite a while apparently.
A cold day in hell perhaps. Don’t be holding your breath,
yes I’m worried about you G. Disappointment can be cruel…
Clunking fists no doubt
I don’t know, pretty amazing things happening anyway. From al-Beeb;
“I also think it right to make it a part of the special advisers contract by asking our political advisers to sign such an assurance and to recognise that if they are ever found to be preparing and disseminating inappropriate material they will automatically lose their jobs.”
He must be shitting himself to say something like that! Though there is a certain element of the-crime-is-getting-caught in it.
when hell freezes over
I’m with Furious – don’t hold your breath – unless you happen to have a cc Watson email up your sleeve to threaten him first?
the BBC are announcing that Brown has sent his letters of apology to all those concerned. Cameron’s spokesman is saying he can’t find any personal apology anywhere in his letter.
can we get hold of a copy of this letter and then you can frame it , publicly, for the whole world to see?
I’ve just thrown my radio out of the window – I can’t stand anymore BBC arse licking.
of course you have
Tell me Jock, what is it about Labour that you like best?
Take your time now.
Nadine Dorries read out her letter on R5 this AM.
It wasn’t very inspiring.
I’d like to know if all the letters are the same.
They were supposed to be handwritten – like lines for a naughty schoolboy
Squeaky bum time…
HAHHHAHAH
Bravo Sir.
Lets see how long we can drag this out. ZzzZzzZzz
It shouldn’t be long, Jock.
We’ll wake you up as Brown is being ushered into the Transit van.
Sweet dreams, pet lamb.
For as long as it takes for the criminals involved to be charged, tried and found guilty of their criminal offences.
oh come now, a litle longer.
… and then taken out and hanged by the neck until they are dead.
Treason is still a capital offence?
Treason is still a capital offence?
No it isnt. Labour reduced it to prison.
It seems rather convenient..
Regicide, misprision of treason and arson in Her Majesty’s Dockyards were the only capital offences the last time I looked which was a long time ago.
Yeah we might even beat the BBC’s two weeks of yachtgate the biggest non fucking story of the year,
And the BBC were pointing in the wrong direction the whole fucking time!!!
Thats great Jock. Keep your head very still on the track. There’s a train coming in a minute.
If you do get a letter, please tell us what it smells like. Also, I want you to imagine Gordon Brown licking the envelope. I want you to imagine that, so that we all have the same nightmare, and not just me.
Thanks AP. No sleep tonight!
Will he put the envelope on expences? What about the stamp, ink and paper? And pen rental? My guess if it’s First Class it’s expences, Second Class he paid…

He’d have to be a reaaly complete hoon to send these letters of blaming everyone else by any mail service – an intercepting postie could name his own price and retire to Brazil. The letters of regret will be delivered by government courier – free except to the taxpayer.
Ink and paper ? Knowing Gordon it will be crayon and drool.
I bet it won’t be emailed.
Draper is a liar. So, it seems, is Gordon Brown. Unless you get the letter,
Oh, and Prime Minister, we know you read this blog.
If he reads this blog then this is for him: You are a fat, half-blind lying scottish fuckwit who couldn’t find his moral compass if it was sticking out of Mandleson’s arse whilst you were stroking him. I abhor you and all you stand for you despicable corrupt twat and I hope the men in white coats take you away from us soon so we can be governed by someone who understands the truth and the concepts of honour and integrity. You are, you shit, a wanker of the first order and I wish you a dishonourable end to your shabby disgusting career.
You can’t say ‘Scottish’ it discrminates against a minority Nothern Hoon is fine though.
Well try Scotch , that winds em up too.
just about sums it up. Nicely put
Yes comrades, I do read your blogs, and now I have passed the bill giving me access to all e-mails I know who you are and where you all live.
Just look what I have achieved on your behalf. Pensions – the finest in the world, index-linked and all – I won’t be hard up when I retire.
NHS – I’ve spent millions on additional tiers of management. What do they want – blood? Oh… they do.
Financial crisis? What crisis? I don’t hear bankers whining. How about all my hard-wanking (sorry, hard-working) ministers and back-benchers. They are not moaning on and on about lack of funds.
So come on; let’s pull together and remember the inspirational song that launched the New Labour movement, ‘Things Can Only Get Better’. The shit we’re in it’s never been more true.
I hope to call on your support at the next election should I decide to call one.
Your Supreme Leader,
Gordon of Scotland
I take it that your not really a fan then?
Absolutely beautiful. Eloquent.
I would love to send this to the PM, but I suspect he may instruct the ZanuPolice to track me down using the postmark on the letter as the basis – which happened to someone else, when they wrote an offensive letter to an MP.
ha ha ha this is funnier than The Office, Royles and Partridge! Why oh why have I only just found this blog??
Ha ha ha this is better than Partridge, the Royles and the Office! Why oh why have i only just found this blog….??
Soz am not very good at blogging comments yet, it appears
So we can count on your vote then?
Extract from Gordon’s speech at the special conference in Manchester, Sunday 24th June 2007.
“We must be far clearer in speaking up for the common ground upon which we stand – the shared British values of liberty, civic duty and fairness to all”.
Have any of the person’s affected by these smears asked the police to investigate a Prima facie case of malfeasance or malpractice or misfeasance in public office yet?
Just wondered?
Can anyone report this crime?
Yes
A complaint to the Met Commissioner should do it.
No it must be someone affected. As I mentioned in a previous comment on another post:
The constituent elements of the tort of misfeasance are as follows:
That the act or conduct has been committed by a public officer.
The act or conduct must have been done by him in the purported exercise of his power as a public officer.
That the act or conduct must have been done either:
maliciously; or
knowing that the impugned act or conduct is invalid/unauthorised and knowing that it will probably injure the claimant.
The act or conduct must cause loss or harm to the claimant.
A complaint has been laid by Craig Murray, the Snot-easter favourite ex-ambo
“Formal Request for Criminal Investigation of McBride and Whelan” -http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/
Before you frame the letter watch out they dont frame you.
I don’t think letters will cut it, it’s got to be an in person apology with the film cameras IMO.
Can’t wait to see if you and Dale get one!

Get fucking stuck in there, let’s get these hoons scared for their safe seats. Bastards. I will write a personal letter of regret I didn’t deck Brown when I met him in 2005.
So has Brown written his pathetic letter of non-apology to Samantha Cameron. Has he written one to Osborne’s wife?
Has he written to the Lib Dems who were about to be smeared: Clegg, Huhne, Hughes, and Teather.
Has he written to the journalists, including Jeff Randall and Trevor Kavanagh, who were also about to be smeared?
Does Brown really think this pathetic, empty gesture gets him off the hook?
Has he written to the British public to apologise for screwing them? Will he ever hold an election so we can show him what we think of him?
No more letters…
The deficit’s already in quadrillions!
Where have you got these other names from? (The Lib Dums and the journos). I’ve not seen anything mentioning them. Do you have inside information?
(Or has it been covered in one of the papers I just didn’t read? If so, sorry for being dense)
Ask Guido to show you the emails ;-)
Or go to http://www.politicalbetting.com and ask Don to tell you all about it.
It will all be revealed, slowly and gradually.
Evidence?
Right – that’s it.
If the bastards were out to smear Sarah Teather then they all want nailing.
I might not agree with her politics, but she’s one of the most honest people in Parliament, and strangely attractive too ;o)
As the bard said “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”, I believe Gordon has never been comfortable either as leader of the party or leader of the country. He perceives real or imaginary enemies both within the party and without, and despatches them with ruthless efficiency. Gordon has always been a latter day Ivan the Terrible surrounded by his Oprichnina, loyal and ruthless men willing do his bidding.
The weapons developed by NuLab while in opposition to deliver power, have never been put aside once the prize of government was achieved, they were turned on each other. There is always the éminence grise standing at the leaders side, be they called Mandelson, McBride, Watson or Campbell.

Wanted to find out about Derek Draper’s book; it seems to have been appropriately tagged under “liars”, “hoon”, “tramps” and “fake qualifications”
That’s just the most beautiful amazon web page ever.
If you haven’t visited it it’s well worth it.
Well done to all.
I personally regret that these tags were applied to mr. drapers book, but I had no knowledge of it whatsoever and anyway some big boys from america did it and ran away.
can I have a lollipop now please mummy?
Dolly’s book got ONE star on Amazon. That’s a bit on the generous side. Why can’t reviewers award negative stars ?
He ought not give up his day job – whatever that was.
I’m looking to buy a copy of his book for my three year old grandson, but I can’t decide whether to buy him a pen for the dot to dot, or a packet of felt tips for the ‘colouring in’. aspect
Not to mention, “scruffy”, “scumbags”, and “unethical”. However – surely the two (so far) dreadful reviews are even more damaging?
Poor reviews for Draper’s book so far:

1.0 out of 5 stars Should I read it?, 13 April 2009
By Really Depressed (Berkeley CA (in, not at))) – See all my reviews
Just recently I have lost my job, my colleagues have turned against me, and I have become a public laughing stock.
I have been exposed as a hypocrite and a liar, my wife is having an affair, and I’m feeling quite down about it.
Does anyone think this would be a good book to read under the circumstances?
Will it cheer me up?
Can I buy one and send it giftwrapped with a personal message to Gordon Brown at 10 Downing Street?
Prices are going down fast, amazon advertising 13 new copies from other sellers from £4.01 (over 50% off, wonder if that includes the Gordon Brown VAT reduction?)
HUGE guffaws…
Well this is a start; Adam Boulton on Sky sends his congratulations, we all do! However, this needs a little more dont you think? Browns so-called letter of apology is pathetic, at least what we have been shown so far.
Perhaps in the next couple of days, the line “No Cabinet Minister…” will be explored a little further. However, Liam Byrne and odius Watson attend cabinet but are not Cabinet Ministers. Wake up tomorrow, smell the coffee and watch how the use of English is an attempt to elide past the actualite.
I would not want to receive that letter Guido…have you not heard about the Curse? Imagine having something signed by him hanging in your cloakroom?
An apology from Brown is like getting a contract from Faustas.
Faustus ends up being dragged off to hell for an eternity of having red-hot pokers shoved up his nether fundament – perish the thought of that happening to GB.
From today’s Guardian:
“The reason why the next election will destroy the Government and the Labour party to an extent not predicted in any poll, is that collectively, the electorate is frightened of the Government.
Everybody I speak to has a fearful and ominous feeling but they are keeping their heads down.
This, to my knowledge, has never happened before.
Yup, that’s me too. I was passed by a CCTV car yesterday.
FFS, is this 1984?
I can’t believe that my local plod can film me for alleged crimes using random video footage !?!
Don’t rule out June 2009 then.If spooks had a hand in this somewhere, they have a motive. Removing mad buggers is a pastime of theirs.
I don’t know anyone left who trusts this government any more. Most people seem to think Brown is some kind of madman who is increasingly out of control. He seems intent on doing as much damage to the country as he can before he gets kicked out.
And that’s after they’ve removed all the serious buggers as part of the day-job.
Apols for gremlins – Round up for last 48hrs Smeargate news now working
Don’t count on it. In fact almost certainly no you are not getting one Mr Fawkes.
Never mind though, Adam Boulton’s piece is quite flattering as a poster reported earlier on another thread. Murdoch’s King’s Pawn game Mr Fawkes, watch your back or your Queen anyway.
Methinks there more to come out yet too!
AH (C)
Hoepfully the red queen is the one who needs to watch his back.
Hasn’t the Grauniad’s White Queen been holidaying with him (queening him)?
Me thinks that too!
Like all good boys do, he’s done with the vegetables now he’s looking forward to polish off the steak (Aberdeen Angus or Bully Beef?)he’s been saving to end with.
Actually, while we’re at it, we need a putsch from inside the Party followed by a Khruschev style repudiation of the caledonian cyclops’ infernal misdeeds.
It seems clear that one lasting effect of this episode will be a disinclination to use email for sensitive communication. Future plots will be by phone or even the post. email is not securehttp://www.computerweekly.com/blogs/when-it-meets-politics/2009/04/how-does-guido-fawkes-acquire.html
Senior civil servants and police officers have long stopped using anything that leaves a FOIA paper trail behind them for anything they want to consign to Night and Fog.
Whoever thought email was secure? It’s the least secure form of communications going and with official addresses cannot be denied as fake; one click, even accidental, and it can end up anywhere – and they can send it on! It shouldn’t be used for anything you’d not publish.

In any case, don’t all emails now have to be stored by ISPs for a year, lest New Labour goons should want to inspect them?
Maybe they’ll use a USB stick.
Then everyone will know within 4 weeks!
Guido,
Have you seen the article in The Telegraph today entitled “How the Labour smear email story unfolded”? It makes no mention of the fact that they broke your confidence.
Will you respond?
Draper forgets to mention that McBride is a paid civil servant, so whether McBride has any ownership as ‘private property’ in emails sent by him in office time on government equipment seems open to challenge.
It would be intellectual property belonging to the employer, like the Bratz toys and Mr Blobby cases, which is kind of fitting.

er , um ,
but aren’t we er, you know , the taxpayer/voter etc , aren’t we the employer in this case ?
bearing in mind he is a civil servant and all that————-and getting £120,000 per year + the pension———
(just being innocent————–
Cameron should ask for a full and unreserved apology at PMQs and if it is not unequivocally given, then lead a walkout from the chamber in protest.
Parliament has to reclaim politics from the unelected forces of evil that this affair has exposed
Keep your eyes open Guido. If he does it’ll be when you least expect it, and wrapped round a brick. Or perhaps more likely, a nokia.
This has been a brilliant weekend Guido. And you’re going to get a “commemorative” letter. How nice of our Dear Leader (PBUH)
And as he doesn’t want it mentioned anymore, does Macintyre still have lunch with Draper? No one cares, but it REALLY winds him up apparently!
Not just a weekend. Four days of headline coverage so far! Well Done.
Guido,
You arent short of readers if the number of replies already are anything to go by.
To Suppress debate by branding you a Racist is unforgivable.
When I was at school a lefty Teacher accused my classmate of being racist just for wearing a particular type of jacket. I may add my class was 50% black so the Bitch may as well have given him a death sentence.
Revenge was so sweet when I dobbed in a lefty son of a bitch head of year to the cops 24 years later. Not that slag but never mind.
Who the fuck would want an apology from a degenerate arsehole such as myself or Draper ?
As to Iain Dale he is a notorious homophobe and as such not to be trusted.
I have never engaged in Homophobic activities despite what my best friend Lord(chuckles) Fondlesthebums of Brazillianrentboys told Lord (fuck Im gasping for air as I laugh)Levy
I am a homosexual and proud of it.

A Fairy Story
Once upon a time in a far off country their lived some pigs who wanted to rule and they were, the Old Major who sadly died before he came to real power, Snowball who took over from the Old Major and ruled the country for a while trying to do good things but ultimately failing before being knifed in the back by, Napoleon a true tyrant and a villain, who then ruled the country aided by his puppies, Jessie and Bluebell and his right hand man Squealer who manipulated the country to excuse, justify, and extol all of Napoleon’s actions.
And then one day Squealer, on his master’s orders went just a little bit too far…
… and we all lived happily ever after.
Let us hope!
how do you spell baffoon umm gordon brown
Just for a laugh why not post a picture of Adolf Brownstain with the red crosshair of political destruction on his saging face.
Guido would have to adjust for wind.

Senior staff appointments
27 June 2007
The Prime Minister has been pleased to approve the following appointments:
Damian McBride*, adviser to the Prime Minister on political press issues.
* Denotes Special Adviser.
who do they think they are kidding. i thought it was grownups leading the country. unfortunatly my kids lell fibs like this. now there’s an admission.
it’s sad that people of this status tell such lies…….
http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page17090
Asked to confirm what Justin Forsyth’s predecessor would be doing, the PMS replied that Damian McBride would be working in Downing Street in a more strategic role. For example, he would be working with Liam Byrne in order to help coordinate the liaison between the work of the Cabinet Office and No 10.
As pointed out earlier by Arggie, Paragraph 3.3 of the Ministerial Code :
“The responsibility for the management and conduct of special advisers, including discipline, rests with the Minister who made the appointment.”
In reality in Brown’s Britain the little people suffer, the politicals are beyond the law. The BBC is a state broadcaster and little of the mainstream media can afford to say what they see an know.
The obvious problem for the likes of Brown and Ceauşescu is that eventually reality overtakes their delusional worlds, its an old story:
OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away
What we are seeing is the death throes of Labour. I’m not a Labour supporter, but I always credited Brown with being more honest and posessing of more integrity than his predecessor. Sadly I now think they are cut from the same cloth – and the sooner they are out the better.
Boy, you’re a mug, aren’t you!
Yeh I must be – I really should stop trying to see any good in folk! ;-)
No-you REALLY ARE a mug, LW!!
http://images2.cafepress.com/product/335422172v8_350×350_Back.jpg
….and to think that the Tory Party of Alan Clarke’s time thought of trying to recruit Bliar and Broooonstuff as acknowledged bright young things of their time – see “Diaries”……..
There but for the grace of Gord go we all.
That’s probably why this is a libertarian Blog.
We hate everyone who want to rule us.
Judging by the reaction of the usual Labour-inclined media do you think Gordo has been warned by the decent Labour people that he is getting close to an internal coup?
Thing is, we have seen the sort of treatment often used inside the Labour party being used externally. With Brown’s true character now out of the bag, maybe decent Labour people feel a lot more free today. They would have the country on their side, after all.
With bad news due in the budget and very bad news due in the June local and euro elections, followed by really, really bad news in July when the MP’s expenses are revealed, maybe Labour has an eye on toppling Brown and replacing him with a decent bloke for the run up to the 2010 election.
Will the oppressed Labour foot soldiers finally rise up against the Fife bully because they finally see that he is destroying the Labour party.
Whaddaya think Fawkes? Just how much has all this destabilised Brown?
Would Labour even have the balls to introduce a 2nd non-elected PM?! I would think so!
If Brown goes there would have to a general election and Labour MPs would Lose their Jobs. Therefore there is nobody in the Labour party that is prepared to oppose the despicable Hoon. He has engineered his position within the party to such a degree that if he goes they all go. This ultimately means that there will be no GE till that cretinous weasel calls one, which given the Lengths that this man will go to cling to power will be not until the last possible moment.
If Gordon Snotgobbler was outed (sorry, ousted) by his own party, they would either have to have his deputy or hold an internal election. A general election however would not be required. So this is the only way they can hang on to power but it begs the question who his deputy actually is – Harriman or Eyebrows? One does agree though that an early putsch is a possibility.
A decent bloke? in the labour party? I can’t think of one. Can you?
Frank Field….?
If Frank Field was a decent bloke, he would have left the labour party a long time ago. Admitedly he is at the better end of the spectrum, but he still supports a sick and evil party of liars, murderers and child abusers.
Surely the only decent ones are deceased… Clement Attlee
Are there any men left in the labour party? I thought they had to positively discriminate against blokes until they were all wiped out?
Frank Field, Kate Hoey,…………erm………..
Does Brown have a Nick Nackesque dwarf running around Number 10
‘…maybe Labour has an eye on toppling Brown and replacing him with a decent bloke..’
A ‘decent bloke’? From the Parliamentary Labour Party?
You’re havin’ a laugh!
Shouldn’t the police be investigating this affair under the Criminal Libel Act 1819 which deals with the “composing, printing, or publishing …(of) any seditious libel tending to bring into hatred or contempt the… the government and constitution of the United Kingdom as by law established, or either House of Parliament, or to excite his Majesty’s subjects to attempt the alteration of any matter in Church or State as by law established, otherwise than by lawful means…”
They are run by Labour, controlled by Labour
Methinks it’s time for the Queen to disolve this Parliament
Would Brown listen?
Why should she?? SHE has nothing to lose sticking with this rabble!
Yes, one should, shouldn’t one!
Gudio, no doubt you are a busy man at the moment but I just wanted to point out that Craig Murray is attempting to get an investigation into McBride & Whelan via Watson
See:

Evidence of this?
Why the press, and not the Met?
Reported on Sky News.
If, a very big if, Snotgobbler fails to print enough “Glenrothes” postal votes and therefore wipeout occurs, Easter 2009 will be seen as the second greatest weekend ever in British survival. The best ever will be that weekend folowing the creature’s leaving of Downing Street.
Brown’s exit plan:
1 year beforehand, place cardboard cut out of self in top floor window.
Squeeze fat arse through underground tunnel from Downing Street to private airstrip in Florida.
Kick Sarah full in the teeth if she attempts to board Shuttle. Beard no longer required.

World Press and braying mob jeer, as FRONT DOOR of Downing Street slowly open’s
Fat bloke, naked ‘cept for huge crap leaking nappy rushes outside, carrying one plastic bag with two housebricks and a couple of empty lager cans.
Freezes in horror, upon discovering that NO car awaits to speed him away.
Press furiously snap away, as mob tears freak to pieces.
Doctor Who stand’s quiety by, until mob have finished.

FFS ITV News are calling you a ‘Tory Blogger’!
Dear David Cammeron
I wasnae me
Yours Sincerely
Gordon Brown (Prime Minister)
Bliar!
Derek Draper writes on labourlist “…and feel they have been let dowm, I apologise. I would encourage them – and others – to stay with us: read the site, get involved.”
King Solomon was wise. In his proverbial judgement, the parent who loved her true child would sooner relinquish her claim to it, than see it cut into two.
What will Draper do ? Will he too do the honourable thing ? Will he hang on and allow further damage. Draper love’s Labourlist, can he show how much he loves it ?
So.. this guy (not Guido) who got into power by backstabbing his way into No. 10, and not apologising for it, then backstabbed the Pound bigstyle, and didn’t apologise for it, while backstabbing the Tories via smears and apparently not knowing about it but botching that up, too. And still will not apologise for it… His vanity is exposed to the world, he might as well just get it over with and actually apologise. Before he sinks on his self-detonating ship of pure ego without a trace.
He must be wearing steel underwear for the elections. Airtight too, so no one can hear the windy explosions coming out of his derriere.
The Dove.
Aye, and doooooon’t forrrrrgetttttt the price that yonn “Iron Chancellor” got for all our gold. – with apo;ogies to Cpl Faser.
I’ve never posted here before, though enjoy the blog.
News at Ten’s caption referred to you as a ‘Tory Blogger’.
I don’t believe you are.
Sort it Guido.
Well done for the exposé.
That goodness someone is taking on the corrupt, lying bastards.
By the look of Labour Lost’s articles there about to dump Draper. Of the three new articles one preps the ground for Gordon’s “apology”, the next has a dig at Guido and is a woe is us bit about how they allowed Guido to tempt them off the straight and narrow and finally an article by someone in my age range who thinks using the word wank makes her edgy calling for Draper to step down.
I think you’ve done for the nasty little turd Guido!
You’ll get no letter Guido. As you well know.
Don’t know why someone doesn’t sue the bastards. I think that as the email went to more than one recipient it was technically published. That makes it libel.
Yes you’re right – Defamation of character too.
not flash just a dirty twat that pics his nose on telly in a party more sleazy than the tories
I seem to remember that after an IRA atrocity the Sinn Fein leadership would say that it was ‘regrettable.’ ‘Nuff said?
At last!
McSnide has finally done something worthwhile. For years I thought I was just shouting in the wind about this scumbag lot. Without him I may never have found out about this blog (yes, I know – but not really been into the blogging scene before). Now I feel I have found my home.
Keep up the good work!
Me too Skyscratcher…….. I feel that the refreshing breeze of at least trying to make these politicians become accountable is worth the effort
Me TOO! Isn’t it great? Like one big cuddly on line community of SCUMBAG HATERS…..
Looks like GB’s letter was written in crayon. Not allowed anything sharp these days.
Yes, just saw that on ITV.
But think about it, there aren’t many flat surfaces on which to write a not apology when youre hiding from nursey behind the sofa.
As Delia once said “Mandelson, where are you – where are you”
Tragically, McLear probably can’t see what he’s written if he uses anything thinner than crayon, and he wouldn’t want it to go out look like some kiddie’s been scribbling on a piece of paper.
Tragically, McLear achieves every result he has always wished to avoid?
Dear Mr Fawkes,
Please find attached my letter of deep regret.
Yours Sincerely,
Gordon Broown? You should ask your secretary to resign too, Gordon.
I deny totally any implication that any errors were made by me or my staff. I can only assume my email was hacked.
I do apologise on your staff’s behalf for being totally incompetent at their ability to be careful, Gordon, especially about their way with words. If only I was a member of the Labour Party, it could have put you in a positive light.
Guido why do they keep calling you a TORY BLOGGER? ITV were at it on the 10Pm news
Wait till they find out about Ireland..
Grandma says – My WI Committee has gone into shock. Gordon Brown is saying that he ‘regrets’ GUIDO’S leaks?- He is clearly not saying that he regrets the emails or their actual vicious content . We must remember the syncopants ie his friends( including Bazel Hlears) who see Gordon as their route to power and influence.Obviously they have not been educated at the superior ‘near to Berkeley Academy’, otherwise they would have known better.
Talking of the Ginger Minger, I note that she’s been keeping her head down….so to speak.
She’s only 3 ft 11 5/8ins tall. Or is that Dolly’s cap size ?
LOL Cato – that’s ’cause she’s got my pint on her head and my cock down her throat – had to shut the bitch up somehow ;o)
Fuck off.
‘Sorry’ seems to be the hardest word for Broon’s Goons!
WHO IS WALTERS?
Don’t know but there is a leak somewhere.
Sorry.
I demand to know too.
Can’t he be sent to one of those “withdrawal rooms” for the terminally insane?
The more you see of the obnoxious McBride on the various TV news programmes the more you think, how do complete and utter pigs like that get to such positions of power, certainly not elected that’s for sure!
Gordon the Moron McCavity Brown
I’m Gordon the Moron McCavity Brown
Whenever there’s trouble, I’m never around
The latest example where I wasn’t spied
Is the embarrassing case of Damian McBride.
McBride’s my Advisor; he’s known as a thug
My personal Rottweiler; a bit of a dog
He conspired to smear, with a mate known as Draper,
various Tory MPs: and approached the newspapers.
But the papers declined to publish the scandal
So Draper and McBride tried a different handle.
They made up a website, and called it Red Rag
Complete with a picture of the socialist flag.
They waited – an election was due the next year
So that’s when they wanted to launch all their smears.
But by some awful fate Guido Fawkes got the story
So I am the loser, not Cameron or the Tories.
McBride had to resign; and Draper is sidelined
The news is appalling, I’m unfairly maligned
I obviously denied that I knew of the smears
There’s nothing in writing – I have nothing to fear
But no-one belives me; McBride was my ‘dog’
He just didn’t understand the power of Blogs.
I couldn’t foresee that McBride would be named
But luckily for me, I cannot be framed
I’m Gordon the Moron McCavity Brown
Whenever there’s trouble, I’m never around!
Ooooooooooooohhhh, glorious. Dear lady, when read in a cod scotch voice, it gairttts even bairrrtairrr.
“- he jooooooost didnae unnerstannnn the powwwerrrrrr o’the bloggg !!!!!!”
………..named”
…………framed”
Broooooooooooooonnnn”
and……..errrrr……..yes”
Vivat Guido!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spiffing!
Gordon, oh Gordon you took us for fools.
You lied about Prudence and your ‘Golden Rules’.
You plundered our pensions and decimated our savings,
We’re fed up of listening to your ‘global’ ravings.
Blair claimed you’re a genius; he lied to us too.
The ‘British’ economy is in deep doggy-doo.
‘No booms, no busts !’ you used to shout out.
That was all hubris, of that there’s no doubt.
If you’d like us to show a scintilla of affection,
Screw up some courage, call a General Election
Fantastic!
Fucking fantastic, even!
I bow down to your superior pastiche – perhaps you might enjoy this little piece of doggerel.
I wonder wot Hattie Harperson is doing by way of celebration – I cant wait to her do her stuff on an interview standing by Broon!
Gordon Brown is a fine man and is doing an outstanding job. It is not his fault – all this started in America. I will stand by him right up to the point where a leadership challenge is made. Then he can fuck off, cos it is my turn.
Coooeeee!
We’ve finished our Intensive Weekend for Progressives ‘n that, innit.
And here we are to say we just l u r v e you Hattie, – and want to be with you always!
I am at Dicky Chimney’s first/second/third home ( DELETE AS APPROPRIATE ) with FiveHomes-FiveBellies Jacqui enjoying the Taxpayers’ barbecue.
Guido, I’m still wondering if you timed all this to happen while Dolly was on holiday….?
Oo anyone care to vote for a full cavity search for him upon his re-entry to the country?
Beam me up
I protest in the most strongest of terms.
The cavity between his ears is deceptively spacious.
Is he on holiday with Nick Robinson?
I look forward to the next Conservative government – coupled with the Liberal Democrats occupying the role of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition……
Lets make this a resounding defeat for Labour. Tactical voting anyone?
PS Guido for MBE for services to Democracy.
Absolutely not, ditch the bloody honours system. It infests society and maintains faux patronage. Anyway I thought you had to buy them nowadays.
Demand Lewis “liar” Hamilton’s back too. He only got a gong so early in his career so that snotty would get some reflective glory.
He even fucked that up – cretin.
Bloody hell, let’s just revolution and just be done with it. It worked for Gordon on a personal level against Blair! So it must work.
I don’t look forward to the next Conservative government. They all stink of the same stuff.
No need to worry. With Osborne and the photos around we’re completely safe from that risk. So we can rule out Labour and the Tories. Who does that leave – oh shit!
Well, you stuck the current bunch out for a bit, it would seem, so why not give the next lot the same time, then fuck off once you’ve got the answer you seem to have predicted youself.
NB, you are allowed to reconsider if the next lot don’t take the country into an illegal and lied for war, all about a bogus 45 minute missile launching claim, a fudged foot and mouth epidemic, no “increased taxes” and errrrr……anything else to do with a guy called Bliar (anag.). – Hint.
Stay in the street too long, and you’ll get a dog pissing on you, and you’ll stink of something that smells nothing like Chateau Pétrus.
think you will find that Squire, Oik and the butlers were just as keen on the war (something about their shares I believe). And why in the name of Guido do you expect Blears to piss on people in the street?
Dearest Guido,
In little more than 72 hours you’ve achieved more than Tory Central Office could achieve in four decades. And, unlike the naive spotty adolescent oiks who populate C.C.O., it’s clear you actually know how the Westminster Press Gallery/Lobby works.
I’m well aware that you must appreciate the sheer unbridled mendacity and penchant for conspiracy of the people who’ve suffered as a consequence of your personal courage and journalistic expertise.
But the bastards you’re against have bitterness and tribal bigotry coursing through their veins, and they play very, very long games.
So for crying out loud be careful out there.
Guido
An interesting thread on labourhome about interference in Labour internal elections
http://www.labourhome.org/story/2009/4/12/112116/275
How deep does it go?
I have asked my (spit) Labour MP to lodge an official complaint on my behalf for the police to take action against McBride for criminal offences. I also pointed out if that he is too cowardly to do – I will do it..
Enough of this bullshit from the cyclops of westminster. I have specifically asked my MP also to make a point of order regarding the Ministerial Code which Gordon has also failed in his duty….I also pointed out that if he is too cowardly to do it – I’ll put that in my complaint also for dereliction of duty in public office..
Shit heads the lot of them in Labour…
Copy & paste whatever you have done on here so that we can ALL forward it onto our MPs.
If enough of us do that then they will really start to panic…
Yes please!
Obliged anon, here you go:
Dear…..
I will keep this short and to the point. The resignation of Damien McBride, though accepted by Gordon Brown is clearly in breach of the conduct of office as laid down in the Ministerial Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for Civel Servants. Mr McBride was paid from taxpayer funds and in doing so should not in any way shape or form be making party political statements in any format using Government property. This he has clearly breached and admitted in public.
I hereby, formally request as my MP that an official complaint is made by you, on behalf of your constituent to the Metropolitan Police or at least to Tom Watson to investigate the criminal offence as laid out in the following paragraphs:
Paragraph 6 of the Code of Conduct for Special Advisers says,
“Special Advisers should not use official resources for Party political activity. … They should avoid anything which might reasonably lead to the criticism that people paid from public funds are being used for party political purposes.”
Furthermore, I wish you to make a point of order at the enxt sitting asking the Prime Minister to explain, why he did not act in accordance with the following code of conduct:
Paragraph 3.3 of the Ministerial Code has the answer:
“The responsibility for the management and conduct of special advisers, including discipline, rests with the Minister who made the appointment.”
I would further like to point out that Mr Tom Watson is HER MAJESTY’s minister for the Civil Service. As such HE is responsible to the QUEEN for the conduct of civil servants. Therefore my formal request is that as my MP I request you to make this complaint.
As my MP you have a duty to act on this, however, should you not wish to take this matter further, this will be noted and I shall make the complaint myself – I will make a further complaint that you do not wish to act on your constituents behalf.
I look forward to your reply,
Yours Sincerely,
etc etc
Thanks.
Got my copy, nice one!
Please note before sending, two corrections
civel=civil
enxt=next
Aye, tha’ emails arl started in Amuricee. An’ tha’s noo way ar could’ae knoon wat waz i’em.
But nae’ worries fa’ mae, cos’ mind ye, nuthen’s’ ma fult ye understand!
[Translation : my weekend has been destroyed by something that would not go away! It seems to have started in America, - that's where all bad things come from. And all I wanted to do was play with my toy money!
Anyway, as I have no knowledge of what was in the emails, there's no way I could have know what was in them, - if you see what I mean. Dr Draper calls it denial. And I suppose he's right, because denial means not knowing. Though how he, a Californian fruit picker should know, baffles me. Perhaps he read a book.
But my mind is clear, - as always. I did what comes naturally to me, and I rest my head, serene, knowing that nothing is my fault.
Now, when am I next due to save the world?
Oh, surely not medication time again nurse?]
Still waiting for our unelected Prime Minister to come out from behind the settee and fuckin’ apologise
so far, McFixthebooks is being his usual cunctatious self
time will tell ie in about 24 hours=====================
Harriet’s stiletto is about to puncture Gordon’s cranium…
Watch this space…
Harriet is a looser.
round the bend our harriethattiyharpic is
Funny, just like the Ginger Minger, the Harperson has stayed very shtum.
The far left are about to get their bloody moment again. Should last ten minutes before the nice men in white coats show up.
I’m shocked at how inept Brown’s non-apology is, like I’ve said in my blog, not actually apologising for the lies, or even admitting they are lies just makes him look cheap. More than that, it allows Tory’s priceless opportunities to get media time to attack Brown. utterly stupid and incredibly damaging to labour and brown
As I have said before, Brown is fond of alluding to the parable of the good Samaritan ” not passing by on the other side” and all that , but in reality he and his band of liars are in fact the ones who mugged the samaritan in the first place !
Aye, – tha’ Samart’n was a smart ass wa’ did’nae pay haz taxes
That’s typical Freudian Projection. Project onto your opponents your own faults.
Brown’s letter suggests that he thinks the Code of Practice is the problem – that it permits this sort of behaviour and therefore must be tightened up. Really? Quick check – this is what it says NOW (paragraph 6): “etc…” What the hell’s wrong with that?
Has he actually read it? Seems not – and maybe he hasn’t read the Ministerial Code either. Here’s paragraph 3.3: “The responsibility for the management and conduct of special advisers … rests with the Minister who made the appointment.” So who is responsible? Well someone “made the appointment”. Brown – or Watson … or perhaps Byrne? Surely Brown’s not trying to dodge responsibility – his or one of his mates? No – that can’t be true.
Very nice, ensure you hold down the Regimental pause of two-three… savour it Guido!
Must say the Today Programme is going to be good on teh ‘morrow…
Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense
I think you will find that Gordon is expecting your letters of apology for all your smears first. PS Don’t send them by email, I suspect that the system would not be able to cope with such a volume at the moment.
Well I’m not going to apologise to the man that’s fucked my country up for the last 12 years – the queer/jock/sociopath mafia that has ruined this country needs to be gone for good, along with their multiculturalism, bureaucracy, destruction of liberty etc. etc.
P.S. West Ham fan Iain Dale just tipped the Scousers to beat Chelsea tomorrow – my 20 quid’ll be on in the morning.
haha Harriet is about as clever as a boiled potato!
Oi! Take that back!
I believe he meant to say that Harpy Harman is “as sharp as a sausage”
How degrading! Boiled potatoes will picket in protest now! They don’t want to be at Harriet’s level.
What more did anyone expect from a party which has based its whole ideology on smears and vicious lies. David Kelly rip
Too Fucking Right. Skeletons’ get ready to exit your cupboard. Independent Inquiries will be commencing if any one in power actually has any backbone.
May I have (what passes as) an apology too please?
He’s fucked up my country for god’s sake!!
I’d like the who f*cking Labour party and everyone who voted for it to pass me an apology. Tw*ts…
It looks like Donal Blaney’s been getting himself into a spot of bother with an undergraduate- handing out legal threats and the like. Great story!

Brown is Institutionally Inept.
He is the worst Prime Minister we have ever had in our long history and he has done most damage to the finances and morals of a once great country.
Not since King John 800 years ago has such damage been done to our nation.
Agreed, he should be tried for treason along with his mate “A pretty straight kind-a guy Tony”
Off with his head the mendacious, criminally negligent and deficient arsewipe.
Not since King John 800 years ago has such damage been done to our nation.”
What about Charles the second?
he was beheaded? wasn’t he ALSO Scots??
Charles the first was just a inept fool, he was beheaded by Cromwell who bore a striking resemblance to Gordon but wasn’t nearly so offensive!
interestingly enough, Oliver Cromwell was of Royal Blood.
He was descended from Thomas Cromwell and Joan Tudor. Thomas Cromwell was beheaded by Henry Tudor.
Royal Blood and Bad Blood.
When you peek behind the curtain, you see certain families ‘ lust for power. Labour is, indeed a family business.
steady on , King John , much traduced over the centuries, was actually a fuckin’ good administrator and restored England’s finances from where they had been left after the depradations of that limp wristed, fay, little twit Richard 1
whose real name was McRichard and with the eqivalent concern for England
Sorry my mistake.
How about Ethelred the Unready was he worse than Gordon?
As Ethelred has “red” in his name it’s a practical certainty he was pish.
Guido – I listened to Alan Johnson on Radio 5 Live this morning.
He was very careful in his choice of words. He said things like…
“Gordon didn’t know anything about it” i.e. the email
“Gordon Brown said there is no place in British politics for this sort of email”
“Gordon doesn’t have the time to sit on everyone’s shoulders looking at their emails”
The interviewer seemed to accept this as a fulsome denial of any knowledge of ‘dirty tricks’ whatsoever. But Johnson only ever referred to ‘the email’.
Brown needs to be pressed on whether there was any wider ‘plot’ or knowledge.
Brown needs to be pressed on whether there was any wider ‘plot’ or knowledge.
Bollocks! Bean would say NOTHING!
No-what we need is some clear papertrail leading straight to the turds desk!
Guido – this has been great but is getting a bit boring. Lets have some new stuff. Anything on Boris to ratchet up the fun factor?
He recently cancelled an anti-racism festival, an action which I totally support.
I won’t be attending and the cost would have been added to my council tax.
Great move Boris, there’s not much cash around any more.
What about Gorbals Mick and his awful wife’s trips using our money? I’d like to see his head on a pike.
A couple of posters have pointed out that “Today” will be very interesting tomorrow.
Watch out for a subtle rebalancing of the agenda vis a vis NuLabour
Don’t even think about protesting you fuckers.
We’ll get you for even thinking about it – OK!

They were not there to protest, these deluded pro AGW believing freaks were there with the clear intent to cause criminal damage. The police did the right thing, for once!
With your logic, next time there’s a protest in the City the Police should arrest everyone the day before in case another window or three is smashed.
Perhaps the country is so low on power reserves that a successful ‘invasion’ might have turned the lights off.
I smell JacqBoots’ boots all over this.
Anonymong,
These NeoLuddites wanted to close down a power station (because they have a religious faith in the idea that airborne plantfood is a poison). Do you realise how disruptive and dangerous that would have been for the people affected?
Protest is fine, stopping people doing their jobs is not.
I couldn’t get back from work, does that count?
If Gordoom thinks that ‘apology-for-an-apology-letter’ is going to placate anyone then the deluded twat is even more deluded than I thought.
Gordoom is nothing but a pathetic embarrassment to us all and has to go.
Meanwhile the SmearGate mockery will carry on until he does.
more deluded than a really deluded thing………………
Will they track you?
http://derekbennetteu-sceptic.blogspot.com/2009/04/tracking-guidos-source.html
It’s much more likely that the emails where transfered to guido via sneakernet.
Guido how did you come to be in possession of the contents of the emails mate? What is your game? And, who are you really?
I thought everybody knew,he’s a computer geek and stood by the gates in Drowning street for a few hours and picked them up on wifi with his crackberry.
no – I seen ‘im on the telly – he’s a tee-shirt model for Berkely …………….
Here is a copy of the full apology letter from G . Brown PM
Dear Mr Fawkes,
I am not as minded today to be, as I was yesterday with regards to compunction, a little less unremorseful than I have previously indicated in my statements to the press. I trust that we can now put this sorry matter behind us, and you will allow me to carry on getting on with the job.
yours etc
Gordon Brown
world Leader.
PS It Was n’ae me.
There is an email of this letter that indicates what he was going to email you before even the BBC moved this to a lead story.
Guido F*****g Fawkes.
You slimy little P**k. If you F***g think that a t**d like you could me to apologise to you, then you are more F****g deluded than Derek Draper.
If you do not go live on air, saying that you made the whole thing up, then your a**s will be poked by the SAS with bazookas you little S**t.
i’m the S***g Prime minister you H**n!
I won’t let this rest until your head is stuck on a pike and I can put my c**k between your lips and p**s down your neck you f**g, W***r, Tosp*t, freak faced C*m sucking, Mot*rf**r.
Yours respectfully
Gordon Brown
World Leader
founder of the G20 club
PS It was n’ae me
A thicker boy did it.
Talking of unsubstantiated slurs I understand that it is wholly untrue and would be wrong to believe that I have been told that Mark Oaten paid Derek Draper to shit on his chest.
Where’s ‘Jock Steel’ gone?
Gone to join his brother ‘Able Wood’ filming Raw Meat 4 maybe.
‘Ok jock you play the part of the neglected husband who while flicking through the channels comes across a Pay as you wank porno film.
Enter Able Wood dressed as a dinner lady who pretends disgust but then produces an expense form’.
The real question is how did Guido come to be inm possession of confidential emails, who is Guido really?
I’ll take a tenner on disaffected Liebour party “faithful” looking for somewhere to stick a long knife…
Why are you such a twat, (really)?
The question is when will it be revealed that not only did Gordon Brown know about this smear campaign but that he actually authorised it and played an active part in it?
My guess is, before the end of this week ;-)
because he is clever and much cleverer than McBride and the rest of the labour.
Somone who hates bent,corrupt troughing politicians
now fuck off
Yes but that’s now what Guido is all about is it? Look a bit deeper. Imagine me winking.
I’d rather not thanks.
@alienz
This nasty government can now read all our emails so whats your point?
All that winking has clearly made you blind.
Technology is a wonderful tool which we should all
encompass, to use, for good but let us not lose sight
of the issue at hand, one of MP;s abuse of their
Privileges and of Deception to the UK public and
the misuse of technology for MP’s to lie to the masses.
Last Friday [10/04/2009] the government minister
Phil Woolas, the UK Immigration Minister, defended
the government’s position and attempted to deflect,
Lie to the UK Public by raising the issue of ‘electronic
borders system’ to criticize the other party’s of
Parliament re UK Visa control. The fact is that this
Labour government was in charge between
2001-2002 when both the local police and
IND/Home Office were informed of a an
overseas national, who was deliberately abusing
and using the UK Visa system to remain within the
UK, whilst not being on a university course and,
in breach of and in violation of UK Visa rules for the
purposes of, to remain within the UK. They, the
local/national authorities did nothing then, allowed
and permitted the person to remain and this abuse of
UK Visas and situation still remains, still exists.
They, this Labour government did nothing then,
they are doing nothing now, or very little now and
will do even less in the future! Yes if people break
the rules, Law do your job but don’t persecute the
innocent, label all dark skinned persons as Terrorist!
In December 2008, I contacted Metropolitan
Police/Scotland Yard on behalf of and re the
protection of the UK people, to inform them of an
approach made to defraud the UK Public. They
weren’t interested, didn’t want to know and couldn’t
be bothered. Presumably, the money is now being
used to supply and fund these under-cover,
sleeper-cells, the terrorists within the UK. So where
is the UK Protection?
We continually have the Home Secretary
Jacqui Smith MP coming on television, radio and,
in the media to further, Lie and misinform, deceive us,
the UK public about how she is protecting the UK
and then a campaign is run on her behalf that, she is
‘being victimised because she is a woman.’ She is
being condemned because she is abusing the system,
MP’s expenses, ‘the Home Office is not fit for
purpose,’** it was once said and thus She’s
insulting our intelligence. MP’s lie, not just once
but most of the time, but why? So as to give us,
the Public “a misleading impression,”* with
their oxymoronifick politics, to fool us the
Public, the people whom they are supposed to
represent, those who have elected them. They
hide behind the word “Spin” to make it sound
acceptable but it’s NOT! ‘Wake up and smell the
coffee!’ Could it be that MP’s have difficulty in
understanding when something is so plainly
wrong, unfair and unjust or is it that they just
want to be oblivious to it?
‘Politician lie’, according to an article
[20 September 2006] by the Guardian journalists
Anne Perkins so nothings changed since then…
The UK public are not as gullible as Labour
ministers would have us believe.
* comment made by Sir Robert Armstrong,
** comment made by Reid MP
Yes, all very good and well Darling eye shagger et al, but how did Guido get hold of confidential emails? Who is he really and why is he pulling all your chains and smirking in a corner of the room ha ha ha!!!
Well i suppose you had to find something else to do after spending the past 71-hours locked in your bedroom doing the old five knuckle shuffle. When’s school starting back?
It is you he has on the chain chav – think about it and stop trying to dum things down uneducated one.
Probably the same place as your leader McFuckwit got them when in opposition or were you in a pram and therfore too young to remember that.
The Labour smear campaign is featured on the front pages of almost every paper tomorrow but dopey Iain Dale doing the TV paper review says the story is “running out of steam”.
What a Wally Dale is. You can see why he was never picked to fight a Parliamentary seat.
That’s just it, it is these wallys that are running our country anon he’s on SKY not you – think about it mate
This is just round 1. Guido has more to come. Be afraid Liebour, be very afraid.
Afriad of what, don’t you know? Look a little bit deeper.
Look in to my eyes, don’t look around the eyes, look in to my eyes.
team orders?
What definition do we accept for “inappropriate” ? Sounds a little bit flexible
Well at least something is being done
http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2009/04/formal_request.html
Underneath all of this, how many of the key players are ex-public school boys?
You mean Mummy’s boys, flawed and rather fucked up?
Along those lines. Also, two-faced, stuck-up, money-swilling liars and back-stabbers. The fact that anything and everything underhand is swept under the carpet for the sake of face, careers, well-placed contacts and big bank balances goes without saying. This country is and always will be sick because of them.
That is the crucial question, they all are or at least 99.9% of them, and why isn’t the UK a democracy?
Like Tony Blair?
It is probably better to have leaders that DIDN’T have a good education.
Like the Britain hating Comunists of the Labour Party.
Dear Guido,
I am very, very, very sorry. That you caught me out.
I’ll be back.
Gordo
What is the real story behind D.unblane? Are the ‘papers’ locked away for the next few decades? Why?
I suspect the sniper’s bullet will arrive before the letter. We are reviewing our procedures, lessons will be learned…
The real qustion here that everyone is missing is how did this geezer Guido get hold of confidential mails in the first place? Why don’t the media seem that interested – public schoolboy network – and finally why isn’t the UK a democracy?
Because all the MSM are at it, slightly hypocritical of them to really.
Granted, hypocrisy has never stopped them before.
What is your problem?
(The government as of last week tracks all my personal stuff, source for the goose and all that)
My problem mate is that the country is run by public schoolboys and I want to live in a democracy where my son can someday be leader, that’s impossible in this nation.
Well, you do something about it then, mate.
Yeah that was boring the first time over. Thanks for trying though. Now fuck off.
I am trying anono
Anonymous you are Menzies Campbell aren’t you?
If your son is anywhere near as thick as you, Kris Alienz, he will not, like you, even make milk monitor let alone leader.
Now fuck off quietly, please. See, I’m a toff because I said ‘please’.
Bugger orff you nasty little troll!
Now you sound like Carol Thatcher!
I can smell fixated retard. Are you related to DES?
Rumours are that the emails were sent by the back-stabbing socialists in the UNITE union which funds Labourlost. Would love to know the answer too.
P.S. “CONFIDENTIAL mails” says it all really. Us proles shouldn’t be allowed to know what public servants are plotting.
Wouldn’t you like to know, Gordon.
This is yet another one that makes me chuckle. The so called question, how did Guido get the emails? This seems to be the focus in the news.
Well considering this is a Government that has lost so many peoples records its untrue, you would probably just have to sit on a Bus or train long enough for an MP to leave their laptop.
It moves on to another point that when each of the MP’s that have lost data on a bus or train, then why weren’t they all in 1st Class or such, seeing as that is what they have claimed for?
Joking aside.
To continue with another point that Guido raised about it coming at a time when the Government can read every email. Civil Liberties.
How many hypocritical comments have we heard recently regarding privacy from Government?
I still go back to the benefits adverts for ‘no ifs or buts’ and my god is it ringing true.
I always say to people, you have to be smart to become a smart arse.
Hardly all about freedom in modern day UK
Very true which also raises the negative comments now about bloggers where the very same media outlets try to flog them to death.
In other words we promote you to talk as you freely wish but then we’ll know who and where you are.
Crafty.
Sky News this morning was deliberating about this at about 6am. Is it just because blogs are generally peoples opinions rather than the ‘official’ opinion?
‘You are free to do as we tell you’
Get with the program – a lot (if not most) of which passes as ‘news’ is opinion – unsubstantiated.
First visit to this blog, and the last. What a total load of crap. If this is political discourse give me a couple of drunks in the pub — they have more of interest to say than you lot.
bi..and mind the door dosent hit your dumb ass on the way out!
http://ddtaylor88.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/where-are-my-legal-papers-donal-blaney/
Donal Blaney – entrusted to raise the new generation of Conservatives in this country exposed!!
http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/94838/Laptop-with-SAS-names-missing
Nice to see The Telegraph claiming they exposed the “smear campaign”.
Fuck me, how low can they sink?
“Mr McBride, who wrote the lurid stories, which he sent to Mr Draper with the suggestion that they may appear on The Red Rag, resigned on Saturday after The Daily Telegraph exposed the smear campaign”
“Gripe Water for Mr Allianz please Sharon – he’s dehydrating.”
That’s the real question Matron where did Guido get the emails, confidential emails, why did he get them and discover – by magic – the content? Look deeper matron, matron you must be more penetrating? Deeper.
Gosh. I looked, heaven knows i did, but then i realised…i just dont give a fishes tit. The providence of anything which helps rid us of this bunch of hoons is just fine by me…
Couldn’t give a fuck unless it causes you Hoons further discomfort. Are you in receipt of taxpayer funding – or are you the sort of daft Hoon who volunteers?
“CONFIDENTIAL mails” says it all really. Us proles shouldn’t be allowed to know what public servants are plotting.
See DONAL BLANEY exposed!!!
http://ddtaylor88.wordpress.com/
See BLANEY call for the DEATH of US SENATOR TED KENNEDY!!!!! ***
As if by magic matron, sorry, can’t say anymore than that – but it is a clue.
Enough already, troll
“can’t say anymore than that ”
Amen to that.
Call it sleight of hand, who do you think you are dealing with here?
A bunch of criminal fuckwits who deserve stringing up in my humble opinion.
Derek Draper’s mum?
Dunno old son, but you’re about to get a goat up your arse.
Going to be a busy week with trolls on this blog,what with dollybots,the two blackops prides who pretend to be Liebour activists and the kids off school and the uni students off as well.
Paul Daniels? David Blaine?
A Labour fuckwit who thinks the real story requires an investigation into the leak/disclosure/hack/whateverthefuckitwas.
That’s the last thing No. 10 wants, because that would spell disaster for the one-eyed snake and his thugs.
Can’t be sure, but I’d say that if you aren’t registered to vote in the UK, it would be an unlawful act for Gordon to obtain your postal address anywhere in the world to post you an apology. If you’re registered you’re free game, but if not your information is priviledged against purposes unrelated to the purpose for holding it. I doubt you handed your info over to anyone so that they could use it for Gordon’s grovelling.
he could post his apology on this blog.
But how would we know it wasn’t one of us taking the piss?
The Super Soaraway joins in this lovely kick fest:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/columnists/
fergus_shanahan/article2375497.ece
I ate all the pies because I am an expense-busting fat shit.
“Derek “Dolly” Draper, a loathsome Mandelson toady”
Now that is literature!
Hells bells the Sun is not being nice to our beloved leaders friends,I thought Mrs Dale said this wasn’t going to run.
Mrs Dale is a failed Tory MP, what the hell do you expect?
That is one hell of a kicking from the Sun – the writing truly is on the wall when that rag falls out with Neues Arbeit.
You read The Sun…you must all be ‘real’ Tories Heaven Help Us! Look deeper my friends, who is Guido Fawkes and how did he get hold of the emeails that’s the real question, you lot are soooooo dumb!
What a very stupid and silly post “Kris Alienz”. You are the dumb one. Supporting the bunch of Neo-Nazi goons oppressing us and you can’t even spell emails.
Here’s a little hint Kris – it’s good to keep abreast of what is being pushed in the MSM, as it shows how public opinion is being moulded. I’m an Indy reader and an unreconstructed Old Labour type myself, but read the tabloids to see which agenda is being pushed.
Expect a big campaign against Neues Arbeit from most of the tabloids over the next few weeks – the sharks smell blood in the water and are circling ever closer to our Dear Leader.
Oh, and your spelling still sucks by the way – don’t you ever preview?
Is there some sort of medical means of doing a “smear test” on Brown, and when is Draper going to stop digging his hole?
He’d prefer a rectal examination.
I was wondering what an acceptable end game for Brown in all this could possibly be? Quite frankly, I don’t think there is one.
Whichever way he turns, Brown’s damaged goods. If he throws McBride and Watson to the wolves, sooner or later the resentment or activities of one or the other will come back to haunt him – they know where the bodies are buried and Lord knows what they’ve been up to.
In contrast, Draper’s a waster that nobody really takes seriously (sorry Dolly) so his unavoidable demise can reasonable be written off as inconsequential.
McBride and Watson are in different category of seriousness given their official capacities and presence on the public payroll. Watson is particularly vulnerable, because as the politician directly responsible for McBride he owes the public an explanation for his actions in regard to McBride’s conduct, conduct which gives rise to clear disciplinary matters and, prima facie, police matters. Brown’s ‘we will revise the SpAd code’ bollox won’t wash; Watson and McBride are caught by the existing code.
They’re fucked on this. Really they are.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Dolly tries to hide behind his wife over the next few days as the lunch at Chequers angle gathers pace. Something along the lines of “they have hosted Gordon on the GMTV sofa often enough so he was returning the compliment” or similar.
they will be paid off to buy their silence. Labour can offer nothing after the election.
Sadly, the endgame for Brown, will be some fancy job in the EU or IMF, directorships all over the sodding place, and shed-loads of cash.
Fuck…the Sun has really torn Brown and Watson a new one…this is high strength foaming at the mouth stuff.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/columnists/fergus_shanahan/article2375497.ece
Looks like Murdoch’s made his mind up on Brown; he always goes for the winning side.
Murdoch can fuck off. He’s done more damage to the fabric of this country than Draper could ever dream of.
Maybe that’s why NuLab has spent the last 12 years kissing Murdoch’s arse.
Yeah, the Blair supporting days are just pee in the wind now.
McLoon must keep trying to slip the tongue in….
Silly question; why didn’t the sun put this news up before? How long has this background to the subsequent achievement of Guido Fawkes been theoretically available to their readers?
guido, I’ve not bothered to read through all these comments, so I have no idea if this has already been said (I assume it will have been) but what were you doing going on TV dressed like that? Try and look halfway decent for gods sake :)
@266 Who hasn’t called for Ted Kennedy’s death? Seriously. And that’s not what Blaney did, you chimp.
Isn’t it the Prime Minister HIMSELF who needs to be taken away by the men in white coats?
With respect no. It’s:
Isn’t it the Prime Minister (WETS HIMSELF) who needs to be taken away by the men in white coats?
Gordon has been found out. He ordered the smear campaign, and his intentions are to continue smearing.
I hope Harman_Pride is having a nice holiday in Lanazarote. I hear reviews of your new book are…..well, reviews of your new book.
“Stephen Pound says Guido is laughing all the way to the bank – actually Guido gave the story to the News of the World and the Sunday Times for pleasure not profit.”
But he wanted £20k from the Telegraph, according to the Telegraph today.
Is that true Guido?
Life’s a dime.
Well clearer Draper is far from being the most honest person on the planet…anyone wants to argue that point? Thought not, probably not even Draper himself, but for this site to claim the emails were handed over for pleasure is all very well unless Guido confirms or denies he wanted £20k from the Telegraph. If he doesn’t then surely people will assume he is made from the same moral fibre as Draper, no?
Change the record.
The article said the sum of twenty thousand pounds was DISCUSSED.
For example, someone could have said that the information was worth twenty grand if it wasn’t being given out free…
Looking at the phrasing, it looks like the turdograph are spinning.
Who cares if he did or didn’t when we are having so much fun watching Clan Chief Brown’s thuggery unravel before us.
Let’s be clear on smears and ’smears’. The smears that have been reported were personal (or not even immediately personal, considering the one about Osborne’s wife), untrue, and on both counts unacceptable. The ’smear’ Dale and you are complaining about, that Draper (thus also McBride) called you apologists for Carole Thatcher’s racism, is both political and true. See the difference?
Good job the BBC are so contrite about that series they ran: The Black and White Minstrel Show. Otherwise, they couldn’t have criticised and sacked Carole Thatcher. Oh, hang on a minute…….
You’ve got a funny name. Aren’t you jolly and funny and clever. I wish I could be your best friend.
Not as funny as Anonymous. I’ve never had a friend called Anonymous before.
Exactly, Anonymous is a racist apologist. Oh look we have the same names.
FFS “Anonymous” racism is a serious issue you tosser, trivial and cheap comments like yours accusing Carole Thatcher of being racist undermine proper understanding of the issue. It’s a bit like the great work that the Spastic Society did being undone by the leftists, who have never lifted a finger to help those with celebral palsy, deeming them to be so politically incorrect that they had to rebrand themsleves as SCOPE before they could continue to help the people they were dedicated to.
Anti-racism said.
Agent 99 Stands and applauds!!!!
Anti-racism – bravo!
Had a grand day out yesterday with my stepson (CP, quadraplegic and autistic) and will be drinking with my British Jamaican mates later on.
Doesn’t matter though – if we disagree with the orthodoxy of the uneducated Left then we are all tarred with the same brush.
Damned New Labour trolls!
[...] Guido’s present post – ‘So, Gordon, About This Letter‘ [...]
Donal Blaney THREATENING LEGAL ACTION!!! In spite of the fact that he calls for the death of Ted Kennedy. Have a look and this loon.
http://ddtaylor88.wordpress.com
Guido, did you ask the Telegraph for £20k? Pretty much a yes or no answer.
Did you ask your parents if you could stay up this late? Pretty much a yes or no answer.
Does it change the content or the authorship in any way shape or form?
YES or NO?
Nope!
But of course to perpetuate this point helps Labour apologists to cloud the issue. Smoke and mirrors my friend.
Do you get paid time and a half for doing the late shift? Yes or No?
Jokes without punchlines are my favourite.
Yawn…Stretch. Am off to bed – because I can. Good luck on the night shift.
Mans got to earn a living even if it’s at Winkys expense. Sorry your beloved PM’s exposed. Wake up to the truth we need a new govt. this ones shit.
Do you always answer questions on behalf of other people?
AntiC0, probably not. But it should be answered though or else the Telegraph will drag it out for the rest of the week.
The whole MSM has dragged their feet for years with this bunch of cretins. What makes you think they’ll act any differently now, apart from getting a bloody nose recently. Fuck them.
No ones reading that rag now anyway they have adhered themselves to a corrupt troughing government.
Alas now good for bog paper only without the cute Labrador touch.
Too little too late Gordo.
General election, now!
You, slimey Mandelson, that total arse Mcnulty and Chairman Balls out on your ear asap
And sorry Darling, you’ll have to go too…
IMHO Britain needs a political party that can credibly appeal to the center right without coming off like a load of holocaust denying Klan folk (BNP)
IF YOUNG DAVE GETS THE TOP JOB DOES ANYONE REALLY THINK HE WON’T JUST CARRY ON FROM WHERE BLAIR AND BROWN LEFT OFF?
I do,
The bloggers are a force now to be reckoned with so we will keep him in line (if he should stray)
Yet again, sad, serial blogger DONAL BLANEY has been getting himself into trouble, this time with an under-grad student!
He’s got BLANEY saying he wants to see the death of US SENATOR TED KENNEDY and other extremely revealing stories about MR. BLANEY!
Have a read: http://www.ddtaylor88.wordpress.com
BBC: “He emphasised again on Monday evening that no-one else in Downing Street or any other minister knew anything about what was going on.”
Well, in that case Brown was self-evidently negligent; if he has no idea what strategy his own chief strategist is adopting/using then he’s clearly negligent to a jaw-droppingly-large degree.
And if he did know what we going on then he’s broken all the rules/laws in the book.
Either way, Brown should be dumped and we should have an election.
It’s a perfect example of why our country’s economy is in so much trouble; labour think that negligence is fine and nothing to be ashamed of. Labour never make mistakes; they’re either ignorant of all the facts, or it was someone else’s fault.
Admitting total negligence in everything that you do is not a viable defence, Brown, you useless stinking heap of poo.
“Mr Brown said he was ready to take “whatever action is required” to prevent a repeat of the row.”
In other words he’s sorry that he was found out; he wants to tighten up privacy/security to make sure a similar situation doesn’t get into the public domain again later on.
“He also calls for anyone caught “disseminating inappropriate material” to automatically lose their jobs. ”
That’s already the case, Brown, you moron.
“I have already taken responsibility for acting on this – first by accepting Mr McBride’s resignation and by making it clear to all concerned that such actions have no part to play in the public life of our country.”
No; accepting a resignation isn’t good enough; people should be sacked for this, not get to keep all their perks with their integrity unquestioned by their boss.
This is indeed Brown’s Nixon moment I think/hope; his days are numbered.
Maybe in the near future we’ll have a PM who’s actually been elected by someone. That’d be a nice change.
The Times says the non-apology letter was written in thick felt tip pen!
You couldn’t make it up!
I’d be surprised if it didn’t also have a little picture of a smiley face drawn on the bottom with a large crayon.
;)
……and the pen held like a dagger.
Brown: If you can’t manage your own fucking office properly why the fuck do you think you can run the country?
YOU’RE FIRED!
Stephen Pound on Sky reviewing the papers. So he will be apologising for Brown this week. ‘Blogosphere a terrible, dangerous place’.
Stephen Poodle Pound has long held the portfolio of apologist of last resort and leering degenerate.
Has anyone got anything on that prick Pound?
Please, just to get the grinning twat off the TV would be enough. He can keep his expenses, just get him out of my sight.
Anyone? Please?
Sadly not
I do know that McDoom & Labour are printing lots of ‘Pounds’ which should at least help to devalue what future offerings are made.
Just checking out your site from the US of A. I see Fawkes is the Matt Drudge of Britian. Kudos, Guy.
The Downing St gossip machine was used mainly to keep Labour Ministers and MPs in line.
It is quite clear that much of what was on Mc Bride’s computer will be “true” stories about the whole of the Parliamentary Labour party, (including fellow Ministers), which were used by Brown to blackmail colleagues and MPs into line.
These computers need to be in the hands of the police as soon as humanly possible.
I haven’t read all the comments here, and doubtless someone’s already said this, but in any case, I think it’s worth saying again:
Gordon says he knew nothing about what was going on with the smears. I don’t know whether that’s true or not. But even if it is, that’s absolutely no defence. As PM, he is responsible for setting the appropriate culture within his office. Seriously, how hard would it be to make it clear to staff that telling lies and generally behaving like total slime is not acceptable? If people were behaving like McBride did, it’s simply because it was part of the No 10 culture.
If Gordon had the slightest shred of decency, he would resign over this. But I think we all know just how much decency he has, so I’m not holding my breath.
“If Gordon had the slightest shred of decency, he would resign over this.”
He doesn’t have a shred of decency and he wouldn’t resign over this or anything else. He will have to be dragged from No.10 after losing a General Election and even then will try to use any ruse to cling to power.
The Neo-Nazis have introduced a new type of politician to government. Vain. Arrogant. Self-Serving. Vindictive. Full of hubris and utterly without shame. Just look at the cabinet line-up.
That’s a rather unfair comparison to describe New Labour as Neo-Nazis. The Nazis actually had quite a successful economic policy.
He should resign. Labour MP’s were terrified of McBride (cowardly bunch) so I’m guessing they’ll move against Brown now anyway.
Correct
with McBride gone the glorious 12th now beckons. It will start by next weekend sundays DTP.
I have been proved right – that smarmy tosser Pound has announced on Sky TV that this blogging lark was invented by somebody called O’Barmy who lives in America.
So, it DID start in America.
ffs…..when are we going to put these hoons out our misery????
Interesting that a Labour MP (didn’t catch who it was) on R4 this morning refused to say that McBride’s behaviour wasn’t typical of that seen in Downing St. Even Labour MPs cannot defend Brown.
Also, not sure if this is mentioned above, but I reckon we know why Draper had registered order-order.co.uk – If you’re going to rip off the site then you may as well rip off the domain.
I believe Order-order.co.uk site caused the person to be redirected to the Labour list site. I am sure for example if a well known high street store put up a site that close in name to another well known store then had the customers redirected to their own site then this would be illegal.
With the relevations over the weekend this is (though a small part) still a part all the same of the overall gameplan.
There is more to come out yet.
A motion of no confidence should follow . Not asking for an election but to give honest hard working Labour MP’s a chance to rid themselves of this tyrant . A great orator could pull this off
There are none who have the balls to do the deed. I am going to enjoy seeing snotty spontaneously self-combust over the coming months.
I see the PM has written to Sir Gus O’Donnell, head of the civil service, calling for the Special Advisers’ Code of Conduct to be tightened-up – which in my mind seems totally innecessary given that it already states:
“Special advisers should conduct themselves with integrity and honesty.
“Special advisers should not use official resources for party political activity.
“They should not misuse their official position or information acquired in the course of their official duties to further their private interests or the private interests of others.
“They should act in a way which upholds the political impartiality of civil servants and does not conflict with the Civil Service Code.
“They should avoid anything which might reasonably lead to the criticism that people paid from public funds are being used for party political purposes.”
What the fuck did the code contain before his ‘letter’ then.
“Turn up, rip off taxpayer, go home”
Yes
But that’s the Nu Labour version of the code.
None of what McBride did with his emails is permissible under the current code. It’s expressly forbidden.
The only reason Brown is flying this ‘revised’ code kite is that under the code the relevant Minister, Tom Watson, is directly responsible for the actions of his SpAd. Brown is trying to keep Watson out of the frame as its ‘game over’ if he’s dragged into this. Watson knows where Brown’s bodies are buried, and the Brown’s ‘enemies within’ (the Blairites) have unfinished business with Watson…
Guido, you haven’t commented on whether you asked for 20 grand from Chris Hope to sell the story to the Telegraph. Sure Hope’s defence of their behaviour was piss poor but I thought you might like to comment on that. Also I don’t see Draper admitting to having colluded with McB to smear you in his post although it’ll be interesting to see what your FOI requests get you.
Fuck off Troll. The Draper bit is a dead giveaway…
True or not, I’d have asked for ten times £20k. Look at the coverage….
It’s a fair question Piers. This website claims the email information was given to the press out of pleasure but it seems only because the Telegraph (and possibly others) wouldn’t pay the £20k fee.
No-one will deny McB and Draper have been found out on this one (understatement of the century) but the suspicion over how Guido got hold of the emails and why he wanted cash for them will surely remain for some time until GF responds. And everytime GF appears on TV he will be asked this question.
Guido,
If I’ve missed someone making this point already, forgive me; but isn’t McBride’s demise merely the latest horrible manifestation of the curse of Brown?
Bloody hell! for a nano-second their you had me feeling some sympathy for McBride.
It passed very quick though
Guido, do you mind telling us how the emails fell into your hands? Like, is the Downing Street email system monitored for purposes of improving the service and if so by who?
Nice try and who cares!
Focus on the real story here. Brown and his underhand and evil tricks.
The constant ‘did you ask for 20k’ and ‘tell us how you got the emails’ are detractions knowingly placed in the blogosphere to infer that something illegal, imoral or underhand has been done. It will fail as we all know the tricks used here so just give it a rest and go away you nasty little labour troll form the ‘very very nasty party’
> Nice try and who cares!
It matters to the people sending the emails.
> Focus on the real story here. Brown and his underhand and evil tricks.
I am no friend of Gordon. The real story is, who would have the resources to bug her Majes Government and their motivations for leaking. Didn’t we have other cases of email/mobile phone leaks.

Something ‘illegal, immoral or underhand’ has been done here, regardless as to the target of the operation. According to the Mail they use a special super secret email system. I wonder just who set it up. Turned out to be not very secure I guess :)
Bye!
Draper has lunch at chequers.
All the pieces of the Jigsaw are starting to come together.
BROWN > Shite man, we’re nae daein tae good in the pools Damo, dae yae know a Belter wha can sae the Tory Fandans.
McBRIDE > Aye man, I knae a Dime Bar ‘wi a copper crack who knae all the Dorty Tricks. I’ll invite him dan tae Chequers for a Banjo Sandwich.
BROWN > ya Dancer, an dannae faeget the Electric Soup…
Brown has issued a new video statement about his future this morning:
Sorry, wrong link.
Here’s that Brown statement in full:
GF you selfish sod…
What about the population of the UK ?
Surely we deserve a personal apology from GB far more than you do – we have to pay his fu*king taxes.
Yeah, that last one sounds like the apology we have all been waiting for.
Gordon brown loves blogging! http://www.odditees.co.uk/t-shirts.php?id=158&title=GORDON_BROWN,_I_LOVE_BLOGGING
Let’s not forget that inbetween The Red Rag being registered and Labour List starting up, there was this get together.
I spy McBride, Draper and Dodgshon on that invite list. I wonder if any other attendees were informed of the plan.
New New Labor do seem to be accident prone with the email :)

I also listened to Alan Johnson on 5 Live and watched him on the BBC News. I loved it on the News as he shuffles about nervously for the next question blatantly lying through his teeth. So f**king funny on 5 Live commenting that Gordon Brown is ‘the least spun politician’, what a measly little maggot, claims he hasn’t spoken to Brown, he probably just removed his head from Brown’s arsehole so he could talk on the phone.
Can’t wait for PMQ’s, Cameron gets yet another chance to destroy Brown. Lets hope for once he can become a decent politician and get the job done. However I can see it already, Cameron puts a question to Brown, Brown responds with the same bullshit spin until no more questions can be asked. Cue the PM’s last word, cue the BBC studio, cue a set of morons minimising the issue, cue BBC over paid presenter, “and Cameron has failed again to damage Brown, see you next week”.
It should really be two plaques to keep in line with her two homes, two videos, two washing machines, two tvs, etc.
The ‘honourable’ Home Secretary doesn’t do frugal – at least not with raxpayers’ cash.
It’s not really a Plaque – it’s the cover of her nightsafe.
[...] however he is disdainful of a number of newspapers and their reactions to a story broken by blogger Guido Fawkes, who is also adamant that Iaian Dale and himself were originally smeared by Derek [...]
Just popped over to Telegraph to give Janet Daley a good kicking. Getting on to their blog is worse than opening an on line bank account . Gave up . They really don’t get it. They are treating poor old Guido like the enemy.
His Letter to Cameron could read like this.
Dear David,
Please don’t show this letter to any members of the public seeing as it would destroy my reputation and the place I hold in the public’s heart which I have worked very hard to build.
Now these silly emails that Mcbride has sent were of course nothing to do with me or anybody else in No10. Damien worked a long way away from me in the next room which depending on your spatial awareness is a long way away and seeing as I only have one eye the next room is (in my not very humble opinion) in my spatial perception is at least 10 miles away.
As for the content of the emails I can only but apologize from the bottom of my heart it was nothing to do with me but what I will say is this we should be looking over at those pests the Lib dems before they start gaining some ground so how about we unite and start our own web site called The Red Ring.
From The Red Ring we can release many lies about the Lib Dems.
I have one story that will be great it involves Vince Cable, a carrot and a time machine payed for by his expencess as an MP. What a corker that will be ho ho ho ho………
The other is Nick Clegg went fishing on a boat with 3 other men with woolly jumpers on!!!!!…..
You and me David what a team…..we can do this together that is what I said to Damien McBride ooops I meant Tony Balir when we started off together…..
Yours
Gordon Brown The Prime Minister
p.s.
Any Juicy pics of Osbourne?
Re an earlier comment with regard to the treason issue. Misprission of treason is no longer a capital offence (since act of parliament 1554-5), but a felony. However it is interesting in that it is committed by inaction; ie knowingly ignoring (forgive the oxymoron) that a treasonous act is being committed or has been committed and failing to report it. It seems to me that this misdemeanor applies to all our honourable friends – particularly with regard to the travesty of the European sell-out.
Perhaps a mass indictment of our representatives with this gem would stimulate a few involuntary sphictoral spasms, should they be presented with it at their next local surgeries.
Even Labour supporters are turning against LabourList.
This is because there is a difference between honest criticism (Guido, Iian) and viscious spin (LList). Blogging with integrity (G/I) and propagandering lies (LL). Honest people (G/I) and complete c#nts (LL).
It is so funny that the propaganda machine ultimately supported and funded by ZaNuLabour is actually turning hardened Labour voters against them!

and the truth shal set you free…
Thanx Guido
Good evening, London.
I thought it was time we had a little talk.
Are you sitting comfortably? Good.Then I’ll begin.
Right now, I imagine there are soldiers rushing here to silence me because someone does not want us to talk.
They are afraid that I am going to say the things that are not supposed to be said. They are afraid that I am going to say the truth.
The truth is that there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? If you look about, you witness cruelty, injustice and despotism.
But what do you do about it? What can you do? You are but a single individual.
How can you possibly make any difference? Individuals have no power in this modern world.
That is what you’ve been taught because that is what they need you to believe. But it is not true.
This is why they are afraid and the reason that I am here; to remind you that it is individuals who always hold the power. The real power. Individuals like me. And
individuals like you.
I have come to offer you a deal.
If you accept, a different world. A world without curfews, without soldiers and surveillance systems. A world that is not run by other men but that is
run by you. I am offering you a second chance.
Four hundred years ago, a great citizen made a most significant contribution to our common culture.
It was a contribution forged in secrecy and stealth although it is best remembered in noise and bright light.To commemorate that glorious night at precisely the stroke of midnight, all I ask is that you join me at the gates of parliament to watch as the past is erased, the pathway cleared so that together we can start toward a new day.
But, you ask, who am I to make such promises? A fair question but hardly necessary as you know me already. To know me any more you need only look to a mirror.
On the twelfth stroke of the fifth day of the eleventh month, I hope we shall all meet again.
(from the Novel- “V”).
In his local paper the Express & Star, Tom Watson denied any involvement in the e-mails. See
http://www.expressandstar.com/2009/04/13/mp-denies-being-part-of-email-scandal/
This is a change from the printed edition in which he stated he had checked all his e-mails and could find none of the leaked e-mails.
Wasn’t he included in the distribution list of some? Is Watson lying or are the e-mails forgeries? Must be one or the other?
When the emails surface and refer to ‘talking to Tom Watson’ the writer will have a lot of explaining how that, er, doesn’t actually mean Tom Watson heard what was going on…
Like Gordon, I’m also feeling ‘Regret’. It’s my favourite New Order album.
