Dear Guido,
A different slant. As a South African I am appalled at the new visa restrictions placed on South African citizens. Apparently we have too many false passports entering your lawless country. Never mind Pakhistani students, Jamaican chancers and Ethiopian asylum seekers who enter merrily on any excuse. we, the genuine South African travelers are now “non-U” in Britain. Sobeit (sic), We shall go elsewhere. (Sure there are South Africans “sneaking illegally into the UK—who isn’t?”—but you must sort the wheat from the chaff), Most of us are legitimate. Could you make some comparisons for me? In the meantime we’ll go elsewhere for our holidays, thank you very much. Our government has placed no restrictions on British tourists as we need the tourism. Pity we didn’t . Why should we allow you free access when we, great travellers to Britain, are now being subject to stringent entry conditions. Many of us , as I said, will go elsewhere. The UK could do with some genuine tourists in Britain in this time of recession. I, for one, will visit the Middle East inside.

About as sincere as a schoolboy fart… boy wasn’t he quick of the mark?

Noted how he apologized of a kind…. inScotland, well we’ll see if he does in London, preferable the House of Commons – that’ll tell us if he meant it.

Glad to see it’s not just me who noticed the bare-arsed hypocrisy of the statement “I take full responsibility, that’s why the person responsible has gone immediately”.

CAN WE STOP CALLING THE PRIME MINISTER THE PRIME MENTALIST?

Now that there is this bright “consultant” in an American TV Cops show who outguesses everybody and gets to the heart of the matter, calling the Gordon a name that can put him in the same category is no longer a good idea.

It was you, Tony, wasn’t it?

Nice one.

Perhaps we should all try to re-discover that degree of objectivity that would enable us to remain free of Brown’s estimation of himself, and see him as he really is: not the leader of our country, but the leader only of those who believe in him, not a statesman but an impostor propelled into regions beyond his competence or moral authority by over-weaning self-ambition, not a ‘prudent Chancellor’ but the play-thing of cunning financiers, a man so deeply lacking in patriotic sensibility as to shape almost every decision of national importance to the needs of his American friends, a man whose religious background has left him with a legacy of superstition that makes him prey to the witch-craft beliefs of terrorologists who neglect to tell him that many more people have been wilfully murdered by NHS staff like Shipman, Allitt, Colin Norris and Andrew Marolia than have been killed by ‘terrorists’ since the ascent of the New Labour princes….

What it can mean when such a person says they are sorry, or accepts ‘full responsibility,’ is not easy to understand.

‘Whitehall sources’ — aka a low life parasitical Hoon. If the best they can come up with is a login name then who is the loser in this picture? Beyond belief that these useless muppets have jobs for life and fat salaries at our expense. String ‘em up.

Guido. You may want to publicise this little bit that I just discovered in the Times that shows Gordon’s apology to be the hypocritical crap that it is.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6108896.ece

Whitehall sources unleashed an extraordinary salvo at Christopher Galley, the civil servant who leaked to Mr Green but was also freed from the threat of criminal prosecution. One labelled him a “complete loser”. Claiming that he had used a term from Star Trek as a computer log-in, an insider said: “That says it all, doesn’t it. The guy was a laughing stock.”

Three days after Smeargate and they are at it again, personal attacks on a guy who simply had the courage to stand up to Labour. Senior Whitehall Sources indeed. Well we know they won’t be McPoison spouting this shit now, so who is it? After Gordon said he would take responsibility for this. Bring the bastard down mate. Bring him down.
