Tom Watson Has Previous

tom_wTom Watson, the Digital Engagement Minister, is named in the one of the emails from McBride to Draper where he says they have just “had a chat”. Tom was not copied in on the email – why bother emailing someone you sit next to?  Watson boasted on his blog only last week that he was influenced by reading Mudslingers: The Twenty-five Dirtiest Political Campaigns of All Time. The blurb says “the political historian who is intrigued by the down right nasty will be interested in Mudslingers”.

You can’t judge a book by the cover, but you can make a judgement from a man’s reading choices.

Dirty CampaignGuido knows from personal experience just how poisonous Watson can be.   When the Smith Institute stories started to gain traction in late 2006, Watson and McBride were the architects of the counter-attack.   Labour’s political research unit went through every detail of Guido’s life.  Watson, no doubt in league with McBride, then tried to place  dirt.   All of a sudden details of Guido’s life became public knowledge.   Anonymous emails were sent to Guido with Mrs Fawkes work email address highlighted with instructions to “drop it”.  The woman got threats sent to her office.  Unfortunately it being a counter-attack organised by idiots, the woman being got at was a woman with the same name working in the same industry.  The police were called in – the threats could not be traced back.

Watson tried to place the infamous Student-Guido-BNP-link smear (long story, but the journalist who wrote the original story apologised in writing and wrote a 300 word retraction).  Whenever Guido got a call – and he did get a few – he simply gave the journalist concerned a copy of the retraction and the number for the author of the original article.  Watson/McBride tried to re-ignite the story with the Guardian, Independent on Sunday, Observer and New Statesman.  None would print it because it didn’t stand up.  It was from sources at the Statesman that Guido learnt it was Downing Street doing the smearing.

On  February 11, 2007, the story appeared simultaneously on a number of left-wing blogs who lapped it up gleefully.  Tom Watson immediately highlighted it early on a Sunday morning on his blog.  He added to the allegations on his own blog with a suggestion that Cameron and Osborne might have done drugs and attended “illegal raves” organised by Guido; “They’re the same age and were knocking about in the same crowd. Just a thought”.  Guido got hold of Counsel (on a Sunday), Counsel said it was extraordinary to see such varied libels in one paragraph.  Watson got a legal warning by email, immediately he pulled the article.  The other blogs followed suit.  When Watson plays dirty, he plays really dirty.

Over at Cowley Street they believe, but were never able to prove, that the now defunct LibDemWatch site was spawned by Tom Watson – they were able only to trace it back to the parliamentary servers.  The British Bullshit Foundation blog was another prototype attack blog.  It was widely assumed to be run out of Watson’s private office – Watson when challenged denied this, only to admit on his blog later that he had met the author.

Sion SimonIt was Watson who with unintentionally hilarious consequences uploaded the Sion Simon / WebCameron attack video.  Watson had the sense to take down the video when it was met with a universal backlash over the way it brought in Cameron’s wife and children.  It also showed what a complete prat Sion Simon can be.

There is a clear pattern of behaviour, Watson has form for using the internet for attacking opponents and their families, often anonymously.  Even when he isn’t directly implicated (as once again this time) he is never far away.

The Tories need to demand Gus O’Donnell gathers up and reviews all emails sent by Tom Watson to the likes of Kevin Maguire and Derek Draper.  If Tom Watson really wants to clear his name, and he has been threatening the BBC with lawyers, let Gus have a look.  Of course, Tories could just make FoI/DPA requests for emails of which they are the subject.

        It’s about time they woke up and saw Gordon Brown for what he really is, and that goes for the rest of the mainstream media too.

        Remember the way his close allies orchestrated Blair’s removal? Brown denied involvement as always, but we all remember the photos of him grinning in the car after his meeting with Tony. Then there was the arm twisting that went on at nomination time, to ensure that Gordon didn’t face a vote in the Labour leadership contest.

        A man who is willing to force out the most successful Labour leader of all time, and to bully his own backbenchers simply to bypass the democratic process is not going to think twice about smearing the opposition, is he? He has fought tooth-and-nail to get where he is.

        Think about it.

        oh please keep upsetting the hoonage i can hear the piggies squeal from the sunny south coast.
        Hoon is a derogatory term used in politics of the UK, to refer to a person who engages in loutish, anti-social behaviour. In particular, it is used to refer to one who drivels in a manner which is anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, that is, fastidiously fingering ones naisal passages, nosely delving into private lives or dangerously coveting ones opponants popularity. Hoon activities can include lying, street boys, pie gorging, employing doughnuts or screeching was’nt me and thats within the rules. Those commonly identified as being involved in “hooning” are piglets , predominantly male looking although increasingly mousey female piglets are known to under take hoonery

        Brown knows that Watson was highly instrumental in assisting his path to the (unelected) premiership. He also knows that Watson is one deeply unpleasant and poisonous individual who undoubtedly probably now has some rather nasty little stories he can tell about Gordon. Ergo sum, Brown HAS to back Watson up, or face more embarrassment in the press.

        Just would not surprise me in the least if Watson himself had written Brown’s letters of “apology”.

      The Tom Watson behaviour, over three years, which Guido details is classic Common Purpose tradecraft. What we need to do now is follow the money.

      Has anyone got an Inslaw/PROMIS wire-transfer screen up and running? We’re looking for a Tom Watson account which received DVD Dachau money laundered through Deutsche Bank (Germany) or UBS (Switzerland) between the middle of 2005 to the present. A possible linked account name is Passenham. And an offshore bank account with Henry Ansbacher in the British Virgin Islands may be involved.

        I managed to protect myself from Common Purpose. Simple technique really, with items easily accessible from local shops.
        Simply buy some “Tin Foil” and wrap it round your head. It not only stops Common Purposes sinister mind bending activities but has the double effect of guarding against alien abduction.
        But don’t use the Tesco or Marks and Spencer own brand ranges. Their semitic ownership has cottoned onto to the fact that this “tin foil” can stop their Lizard mind control activities and have sabotaged it.

      BREAKING: Tom Watson to make a “personal statement”

      Fraser Nelson 5:16pm
      I hear Tom Watson is about to make a “personal statement” which should clear up how much he knew about Red Rag and Damiangate. Last time I looked, Guido didn’t have any crosshairs trained on him – but we’ll see.

        This puts the spotlight on Cameron, repeats the smear and is not an apology or saying sorry.

        Brown’s letter to Gus was in fact a letter to the public selling his bullshit. The objective being to rallying opinion that he was ‘doing the right thing’, taking action and being reasonable.

      Gus O’Donnell, initials G.O.D, (nickname believed to be God Calls Me God) is the Cabinet Secretary, ie the Highest Ranking British Civil Servant (Sir Humphrey). The Cabinet Secretary is traditionally based in Downing Street.

      Civil Servants are supposed to be independent of politics. [One leading civil servant once told JUSTIN: "We're civil servants. We're loyal to nobody." - make of that what you will.] But they have a reputation for protecting their own. So the careers and pensions of civil servants McPoison et al may be in safe hands.

      I read this book in preparation for workers memorial day. The story is set in a Soviet labour camp and describes a day in the life of an ordinary prisoner, Ivan Denisovich Shukhov. The book was the first account of Stalinist repression that was openly distributed in the USSR and is a landmark of the time.”

      Well no doubt soon it’ll be updated to describe a day in the life of an ordinary citizen “imprisoned” in Britain under the Brownist repression. Perhaps you could get your mate Damien to write it, he’ll have plenty of time on his hands.

      Or maybe not…he only writes fiction!

      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.

Gordon has always been a latter day Ivan the Terrible surrounded by his Oprichnina, loyal and ruthless men willing do his bidding.

    BREAKING NEWS****BREAKING NEWS****SKY NEWS****BREAKING NEWS

    Police are attending a major pile up in Westminster. It appears that a car containing Prime Minister’s attack dog Damien McBride has collided with the train wreck that is Labourlist. Bystanders witnessed McBride’s career suddenly start to spin out of control, before crashing into labourlist coming from the other direction.
    The Prime minister’s own incumbency,that had been following Mr McBride from a safe distance, swerved violently to try and avoid fallout from the disaster and was brought to a gentle halt by the buffers of Liam Byrne and Alan Johnson.
    Mr McBride’s position was pronounced dead at the scene, but his traveling companion Tom Watson MP was immediately cocooned in a blanket of lies and airlifted to put some distance between him and the wreckage. Mr Watson is said to be receiving Labour’s best available life support and although still in intensive care he is expected to pull through.
    Meanwhile Derek Draper was taken to a terminal illness hospice where his condition remains critical.
    Mr Draper was involved in a similar smash up in 1998 when he shot off the rails and severely damaged his livelihood .
    The government’s top damage limitation people are working with friendly news services to cordon off and contain the disaster and hope to have some distraction stories flowing again as early as this evening, said Alistair Campbell on his blog.
    Business Secretary and head of he clean up operation, Peter Mandelson, has made it clear that a full enquiry will be held into “dangerous, excessive, uncontrolled and outrageous spinning” just as soon as he has read the Paul Staines MI5 file. “We don’t want to say anything to prejudice an official enquiry at this stage, but its clear that right wing elements, possibly with terrorist links and Al-Qaeda funding, are to blame.”

    Meanwhile in other news there is still no trace of Tony McNulty MP, age 51, who left his parents house where he still lives, two weeks ago and hasn’t been seen since. Police are appealing for witnesses and are said to be “Concerned for this man’s safety. He would not normally disappear from the airwaves and newsprint unless something very unusual had happened to him. Its uncharacteristic”

    Furthermore does this mean that they can be accessed under a freedom of information request?? They are communications sent on the publics time and on the publics money….. and they certainly aren’t official secrets….

    I’ve been in Wales by mistake all weekend, and just heard on some bongobongo radio station there this morning, driving back to civilisation, what sounded like some feller gargling on buffalo semen, and then half coughing through “Cydio Fawkesyyy isn’t it” . I figured that you’d either been asasinated and people were creatign a floral tribute in parliament square, Guido, or you’d claimed a few more scalps.

    Well done that man – but, a lesson too I think? These Hoons in the mainstream media may play partisan games, but in the end, they are *all* on the State’s side. I think you have learned this now…

    I see this as the Internet’s Normandy Landings – the scum will be preparing their battle of the bulge, and that was a close run thing, as you recall. This is not a left/right fight, this is a liberty/oppression fight, and the battleground is not Belgium, but right here. Ones and noughts are the ammunition, they need to destroy ‘net liberty, or they’ll lose the world. It’s going to get nastier and nastier.

    A suggestion Guido? Get a forensicly authenticated copy of every hard disk you own, deposit these with someone beyond reproach and beyond suspicion. Because it may one day be useful to be able to demonstrate what was not in your possession. Oh, and if you still have dirty linen, now is the time to clean it .

    I have to say that despite his “I love the party, the party is love” attitude, all this comes as quite a shock. My brief impression of Mr Watson was that he always played with a totally straight bat and never once considered that he would resort to such shifty, puerile or morally dubious practices that one would mormally associate with politics (student or national). I considered his swift movement within the bowels of the Labour Party to be an endorsement that the various selection committees held him with the same high opinion.

    Holy fucking hell. My contempt for Labour, already deeply entrenched, has just reached a new level. It is getting to the stage where them being thrown out at the next election is a matter of national importance. Labour has but one interest: power at any cost, financial or moral. Jesus Christ – how can people even think of voting for them? Can it really be the case that in this country, people are seriously suggesting that, come the next GE, if the CCA hasn’t got us then postal vote fraud will? This isn’t fucking Zimbabwe. Labour’s hoons have to be destroyed at the next GE, reduced to an inner-city rump party, and then the country can start to rebuild itself. That might take a generation after what Gordon and his morons have done.

    To Little Old Me it seems unbelievable that this is the way our so called masters behave and I’m the wrong side of 65. I always knew politics could be dirty but these are not just dirty tricks. They are downright criminal.

    If you run a business and one of your employees discriminates against another. Never mind if you knew or not, never mind if it was true or not, YOU are hauled up before the tribunal and castigated and then fined, NOT THE EMPLOYEE. And fined a lot by the way. I should know, I was. So, why the hell shouldn’t this bunch of half witted (alleged)criminals and their boss in10 Downing Street be hauled before a court. If this isn’t libel or slander or discrimination, pray tell me what is? Surely if an email is written from No 10 and the idiot who wrote it is paid for with tax payer’s wages, it’s not private and for certain, it’s absolutely in the public domain now.

    Also, what is so bloody irritating is that the castrated BBC and the blue Sky News just don’t seem to get it. They are just so aggressive and bully anyone who does not toady up to this dirty regime of Labour. And we all just put up with it! Is Guido the only one with any courage left in this country?

    Come on Cameron put your money where your mouth is, don’t leave it to the nice lady. DO IT YOURSELF. Take the bastard Brown to court. Forget about all these jumped up little Hitlers that work for him, go for the snakes head and as one of your predecessors said DO IT THIS DAY.

    “Tom Watson was educated at King Charles I school, Kidderminster, and the University of Hull, where he was elected President of the Students Union in 1992. He was Chair of the National Organisation of Labour Students from 1992–93. He then worked as a marketing officer and advertising account executive. In 1993, he began to work for the Labour Party as National Development Officer for Youth. He then worked on the party’s 1997 general election campaign. He then went on to become National Political Officer of the AEEU trade union.
    He was elected MP for West Bromwich East in 2001. In 2003, he included a weblog on his website.” wiki

    Devil Rides Out says:

    Having followed this story for days on end and spent much of a sunny weekend goggle-eyed from reading thousands of comments on dozens of blogs, there is for me one awful, ‘elephant in the room’ issue that has not been fully addressed. There have been many comments across many blogs insinuating the full, disgusting nature of the Cameron slur in relation to his son Ivan. Without going into further detail, I believe that if this is the truth – if the full text of the emails shows that this was the intended rumour that they wished to disseminate – then every other issue that is being discussed will be irrelevant. If this is indeed the case, and if it were to be given wider publicity, the repercussions would be catastrophic. If the general public thought that the government had spewed out such filth, there would be national outrage. I am left thinking that either a) This is not the case and people are jumping (quite understandably given the general tone of the other emails) to the wrong conclusion or b) This is the truth and the full text of the emails are yet to be made public. If it is the truth, then it would explain the bizarrely swift resignation of McBride and the letters of ‘apology’ in an attempt to draw a line under the incident and prevent the full details emerging. I also think that -quite understandably – Cameron would seek to protect his family from this and would not want the full extent of the emails to be revealed. Unfortunately though, the public need to know if this is indeed the rumour they wanted to spread. If this is the truth, then it should be revealed. Once they know the real depths that this incompetent, inarticulate, amateur bunch of thieving dimwits are prepared to descend to, they can flush them back into the sewers from whence they came.

    i hadnt realised mrs fawkes had been a victim of socialist ideaology !! there will have been many others who have been targetted and destroyed for speaking against the corruption .

    it was nice to hear Frank Field , his wise view was telling that gordon is at the rubicon , indeed in my view he has gone over it , luckily says Frank “Gordon still has some friends in the party” i must correct you frank “Humphry” the cat has been gone some time . can gordon be honest , even with himself ??

    he may well be angry at the fact that when you wonder around this country after ten years of labour and their promises , its becoming a lawless poverty stricken country , whilst all those getting payoffs jet off to soem other country to spend the wealth .

    but to the post Tom Watson , well hes a sort of middle man , a kind of fixer , bringing expense account and tax payer funds together for the purposes of er well , more of the same . Guido ran a long line of the sith and its fascinating web of who got the money and who got the PR . i think £1.2 million had been consumed by the sith at last count and that is just one of the organisations that labour have used in this way that i know off .

    Tom was a sort of brummie branch of the spiv PR operation , he organised the meetings and the partners , labour has done a great deal of business in birmingham so Tom will be there in it , wonder if hes clean on Rover , by the way how is that huge house building program going on the fomer vast rover site that got sold for £1 to a chinese car maker . cant quite remember what that regeneration partnership was called ?? oh well .

    yes its begining to make sense to me now , the uk has been treated as one big ponzi derivatives operation , and the bag men having conned everyone are about to exit stage left , caesars wife thinks , not this time matey , not this time !!

    Keep up the good work Guido.

    Watched Ed Minibland (sic) on C4 News defending the indefensible. Apparently all is well inside the number 10 bunker. Cyclops has saved the world…oh, and it was nothing to do with him because it started in America and he knew nothing about it.
    He regrets being found out. Ooops I mean he did nt think those emails would ever get into the public domain and anyway he knew nothing about them anyway. They must have started in America. Now it’s global he will have to save the world – again.

    The masses have to realise that they are being ‘governed’ by a man with no sense of personal accountability or fallibility…in short, Brown is a tyrant with all the connotations of derangement and control freakery that goes with that epithet. He HAS to go. Everyone has to KNOW that he is, indeed, a monster and want him gone.

    How long before all these No 10 emails are forever hidden from view – FOIA or not – beneath the rotting, threadbare cloak of ‘national security’ – the last refuge of the New Labour scoundrel.

    Why does our scorn not shrivel the egos of these unsavory characters to the point where they hide from public view? How did we arrive at the point where we are governed by these creeps!

      You were bedazzled by the glittering gnashers of Blair ( except for a lower incisor ) and his simpering doxy of a wife who was busy feathering her legal nest. His reputation at Fettes was zilch and his housemaster was quoted as saying that `he had never had such a worse boy through my hands` There was no alternative at the time and we now reap that absence. None of this was helped by the blatant partiality of those smut fungi in the BBC. Is it too outrageous to think of a putsch but something has to happen very soon ? We cannot go on being governed by a one-eyed physcopath who has got `form`.`

    My calculations suggest that the best time for the Blairites to depose Brown is on the day he announces an election. Of course all the ducks would need to be in a row and the numbers in place. It would have to happen that day. I think then that the electorate could be wrong footed enough to give Labour a chance.

    A comical version of that same Sion Simon vid is here:-

    and here he tries to defend himself and declares
    Tom Watson as a “propper blogga”

    both are pathetic, MPs? my bum they are.

    Hey, Watson, everyone knows you’re reading all this, because you can’t help yourself.

    All you stand for is how to spread lies and poison on behalf of someone who’s becoming more unpopular by the minute, and whom only someone who’s got nowhere else to go would continue to stand by.

    One question : “How does it feel to know how many people hate you, despite how little you have really achieved?”







Nick Clegg said…

“Charlie Whelan and Lord Ashcroft are exactly the same. One is the baron of the trade unions, and the other one is the baron of Belize. Both are bankrolling political parties, both are trying to buy seats.”
