Watson : I’m Miserable Now
Tom Watson, the Minister for Mudslinging, is blogging again.
On reflection, this week wasn’t the most relaxing of family breaks to Cornwall. And for those that revel in these things, I can say with some certainty, that at times, it was the most miserable I have ever been.
Still, I did read another book. Perhaps I might add Echoes of an Autobiography by Naguib Mahfouz
to the list of 25 others, that have interested more book readers than I anticipated last week. (Is it only a week since I published the list? Seems like an epoch.)
The book gave moments of fragmentary pleasure during a dreadful week. As Mahfouz wrote “there whispered in my ear a voice at dawn: ‘Congraulations to you – the time for making your farewells has been decreed.’ Deeply affected I closed my eyes and saw my funeral moving along, with myself at its head carrying a large glass filled with the nectar of life”
Yes Tom, the time for making your farewells has been decreed. Large glasses have been raised by Blairites…
UPDATE : Tom Watson not be attending the government’s big Digital Britain Summit today, he lies his excuse is that despite being the “Digital Engagement Minister” he only got his invite on Wednesday. You can’t hide for ever Tom.
Whiney little bitch isn’t he?
They just can’t stop themselves, Charlie Faulkner on R4, speaking in 5Bellys defence;
‘She was just doing what she thought was the normal thing’
First arrest of an opposition MP for how long? The Normal thing?
I know, but it was not just an opposition MP, but a shadow MINISTER FFS! I heard that interview too. When the fuck was it ever the default position to send anti-terrorism officers to arrest a shadow minister over normal, non secret, leaks?
Faulkner was given a free pass on that answer too. BBC pussies!
Not even ANY MINISTER but a Minister covering the topic directly related to the information concerned!
Of course, for an Authoritarian, it is “the normal thing” – pour discourager les autres.
I have always thought of Jacqui Smith as some Asst. HR Manager in a provincial Biscuit Factory.
On second thoughts, that is insulting to provincial Biscuit manufacturers.
Perfectly normal for Zimbabwe, as is Quantitative Easing.
Erm…. I used to run a provincial biscuit factory.
Would I have given her a job?
With her expenses record?
I would’t have let her in the door.
Not even to sweep the floor.
I hear that Jackie Smith was a school dinner lady.
Grauniad is turning, at least Kettle is ….

“…it cannot be said too emphatically that McBride was not a lone wolf. He hunted as part of a pack. Brown remains in denial about this, and is still casting his former lieutenant as the Lee Harvey Oswald of the case. “The person who was responsible went immediately and lost his job, and I have ensured that there are new rules so this can’t happen again,” he said yesterday.
This is not true. McBride was part of a cabal that, for 15 years, has worked to promote Brown and to do down his opponents. “
I can’t help thinking that this whole episode is related in some way to this :-
Just what sort of World are our ‘Leaders’ trying to lead us into .
The Obama Deception
“The problem isn’t Jacqui Smith, the problem is the government”
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/blog/talking_politics/article/14491/
Time this lot were sorted out!
He’s a sleazy troughing Hoon that’ll soon be out of a job.
1. Have you read the http://www.theredflag motto? ” Though Cowards Flinch and Traitors Sneer, well keep the red flag flying here. When I was a young man the Red Flag was referred to as a Sanitary Towel. What an apt description of the Labour Party. Well I am no Coward, and as a Traitor, I will sneer. With a Party that will stoop so low as to have to invent stories of other Party members. They should look at their own records the, Ron Morris, the Peter Mandlesons, the thug and user of Public Property for his sexual gain John Prescott, The David Blunkets, The Jackie Smiths, and all the other Parliamentarian thieves, that have nothing better to do with their official time and expenses, than to use their nepotism to employ their husbands, to purchase pornographic films out of the public purse. Then when caught out, tell the public, “I’ve paid the money back, it was an oversight”. I do not have the benefit of being able to claim £140,000 pounds as expenses. In fact I doubt if I have seen that much money in a hardworking lifetime. I have been driving since 1950, in May of 2006, I committed the oversight of driving 39mph, in a 30mph zone, this cost me a £60 pounds fine and three points on my license, (1) oversight in nearly 60 years of driving. Why don’t these Parliamentarians have to pay for their breaches of the rules?
Now to another matter that has made me turn Traitor, to my former colleagues in the Police Service. I served in the time of the Notting Hill and Caledonian Road, Race Riots, that was as bad a time as anything I have seen in modern day Policing, What I can say is that if any Police Officer of that time had drawn his truncheon for any reason he would be writing reports for days, for the reason for doing so. All the time having to endure the daily throwing of petrol bombs at your person or others peoples property.
This Police violence of recent weeks, demand that the two Police Officers involved should be.sacked from the Police Service without pension. Traitor1.
Donald Andrews, (below) a word of advice,if I might be so bold.
I’m sure your post is extremely interesting and worthwhile, but when faced with a great slab of print with hardly any proper breaks, readers just scroll down
Distraction and dungheaps indeed, Jeff Randall’s got it:
“In the dung-filled arena of Downing Street, the hired hands of distraction are Mad Dog McBride and Dolly Draper. You have to hand it to them: Dog & Dolly (a good name for a pub) did well in getting the electorate to look away from the ballooning hole in Mr Darling’s accounts. But unless they can produce a fresh smear by next week – what about William Hague’s secret toupee, or Theresa May’s super-strength panty-girdle? – I suspect the game is up. Under the glare of voters’ scrutiny, the Chancellor will be forced to set out some shocking figures.”

Biscuit factories rate highly under New Labour. Remember, Robin Cook once left HM The Queen stranded in India to open one in East Kilbride.
Take that troughing English hate filled Scotsman Brown with you.

The Red Rag = a used sanitary towel…??
Hmm, I’m sure there’s a joke about both being used by leaking c.unts in there somewhere…
Donald Andrews
Somebody should complain (oh, I’m doing it) about Labour wrapping themselves in the Red Flag. A quick browse over to the actual commies http://www.scottishcommunists.org.uk shows they think Labour are the enemy of the working classes and a bunch of fat capitalist bastards. Who’d a thunk it.
Donald, Are you sure you read that correctly? I think you will find its
…though cowards flinch and traitors smear, we’ll keep the red rag lying here…
Donald,
I think you misread that. It should be …though cowards flinch and traitors smear, we’ll keep the red rag lying here…
Well Donald Andrews – I read it. It was a brave and commendable comment. My late father – a Metropolitan Police Officer who attended the Notting Hill Carnival in the days when it was an annual riot – would have agreed with you.
As for the sleezebags in the Labour Govt – and those who are now (thankfully) out such as Prescott – they deserve everything they’re going to get. The word is that releasing details of MPs expenses is likely to result in resignations/By-Elections and (the whips say) possible suicides. As Ed Balls would say – SO WHAT!
If they have been behaving appropriately, they have nothing to fear. If they have been committing fraud and stealing from the taxpayer I have no sympathy.
She has certainly eaten a lot of biscuits.
Jammy Dodgers is her prefered packet.
But for how long.
Hognobs!
an ode to mr Watson courtesy of those who do miserable better
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i’m miserable now
In my life
Why do i give valuable time
To people who don’t care if i live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows i’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i’m miserable now
In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time
To people who don’t care if i live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
“oh, you’ve been in the house too long” she said
And i (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do i smile
At people who i’d much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

Give me a break Draper. You screwed up my blog and now this!!!
You have done enough writing for one day.

What’s little about him?
Can’t you guess

Remind us again who Toilets Maguire ‘works’ for?
Guido is Toilets before or after Whineylan on your list for macerating, please?
Really want him battered with a baseball bat to take that self satisfied smirk of his disgusting face
Watch your back Mr Fawkes.
Strychnine Richards is stirring for more Internet gagging:
“The creator of the Guido Fawkes website is in my view one of the most influential figures in the British media. One day this week I heard five items on the Today programme that followed up his stories or his observations. Politicians have not learnt how to cope with an individual who has as much impact as entire newspapers. He is one of the reasons why Derek Draper, the recipient of McBride’s emails, felt the need for a left of centre equivalent.”
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/steve-richards/steve-richards-open-contempt-for-politicians-is-neither-daring-nor-clever-1669919.html
Everybodies favourite loony, Quietzapple, has taken over the Indie!
He’s whining for poor Dee Dee!
Usual hypocricy!
Go get him Para-Govt 45!
I am personally much to fastidious to want to get posted next to this h**n!
No biggie – the vast majority of people commenting on Richards’ article are giving him a pretty hard time. No great surprise really – just another MSM journo shitting themselves about the fact that they’re getting found out for years of toadying to bent MPs and an out and out betrayal of their profession and what it should entail.
Isn’t it funny how morons like comment 366, Anonymous (April 17, 2009 at 1:08 pm) keep trying to muddy the waters with red herrings about Guido sitting on the emails for a few months. As has already been said, the point is they needed to be seen and delivered to the public. Guido did it, I suspect he had his reasons for waiting, and I’m glad they eventually saw the light of day.
Brilliant someone has just stuck the expences and porn
film plaque on jaquie smiths home, hillarious vidio can
be seen on Sun front page via net.
Good old Guido the whole lot are now a laughing stock
thanks to you.
wonderfull.
We’ve put a link up on
http://libertarianalliance.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/paul-staines-wikipedia-the-free-encyclopedia/
on Sean Gabb’s post about how important Guido now is, he ought to watch his back (Guido not Sean…)
I’m glad he’s miserable. Because the fact that his beloved Labour fuckers remain in power makes me miserable.
Still, not long now.
Slimeball will be way more miserable than us – very soon indeed.
So he should be.
Martin Bright’s worried too and spills more beans about the lobby…
http://www.spectator.co.uk/martinbright/3544506/worse-still.thtml
Tom: “I must have an Easter break to get away from the rebound of all my mud slinging”
Gordon ” Take a break Tom” – do it on expenses, first class travel and all that.
Tom: ” Must reflect on our poor friends Dolly and Damien and how they are copeing in the Job Centre queue”
Gordon ” I’ll be in Glasgow – I’ll mumble sorry, I’m Scottish, so they’ll believe me up there. It’ll soon die down, unless that Guido and those bloody Bloggers keep stirring it till the next election.
Tom: “Must work out how to Licence these anti-Labour web-sites and blogging voters.” -
Gordon “I think Breathing could be the next thing to licence”
Tried to give it to Broon up here but his BrownShirts kept us away from his Psychological Operations Campaign.
Pity, because he’s as dead up here as he is down south and just as hated and he needs to know that!
No love lost and after multiple school closures by the Labour run Cooncil – I reckon they’ll be getting a fistin from Glesga too in the EE/GE/SE.
Saor Alba
So the usually impulsive Guido sat on the emails for months before trying to sell them (at first – until his wife intervened and mad him take advice – which presumably told him how the law usually views the selling of stolen property) – why was this? Who was the master pulling the puppet’s strings and delaying the release of the emails – who stole the emails in the first place? Cui bono as Guido says.
Who cares? I don’t give a toss if Guido Fawkes is David Cameron in a fat suit. These emails needed to be released. By who doesn’t matter. Instead of whining about how someone pulls Guido’s strings maybe you should spend your time trying to force the filthy politicians to do the right thing – like maybe a certain blogger we all know?
I suppose Nixon could have had a similar justification for bugging Watergate – so that he could reveal what his opponent was up to. Not letting the ends justify the means is something that should apply to all sides.
No. 1 Mr Ned.
Does the following fit in with your description of another whiner?

Yes he is. Never happy. Never doing any real work. Not even accepting postings on his blog… there’s a surprise.
He’s as guilty as hell. Disowned by the main man, disowned by his office, disowned by the top honcoho in the civil service, who apparanetly doesn’t even talk to him.
As for his so called boss, the junior consultant and whiteboard freak, bet they never speak to each other.
A constipated Mr Blooby.
Best comment ive ever seen.
that seems quite scarily prescient
So, what can we expect in this Sunday’s papers, Guido ?
Cod and chips
Lovely jubbly!
No longer possible. EU directive banned wrapping takeaway meals in newspaper.
Filth, sleaze, hypocrisy and lies.
And some other revelations about the government, hopefully.
have they hired McBride then?
I know how tom feels, its been a disapointing Easter – the boys at the Ferret & Strumpet spent two nights spray painting ‘HANG GORDON BROWN’, in five foot high letters , on a 20′ steel shipping container, ready to offload it into the field across from his mother in laws house, and the fucker never came to visit her !
That must be bad when the only friend you have is the mother in law.
You just cannot rely on some people’s sense of decency can you?
Down in a Reading Tesco’s the punters apparently booed their local liebour MP so satisfactorily, during a shopping foray, that he dropped his milkybar and fled….
Expect more legislation from 2 bathplugs Jackboots: The Keeping the Peace (Suppression of Ministerial and MP Abusing) Act 2009 to be read in conjunction with the Protection of Free Speech (Abolition of General Elections and Respect for Law and Order) Act 2009.
The odious Martin Salter MP was chased out of a Reading supermarket this week by an angry mob of shoppers.
That’s the way to do it!
Luckily for us, acts of parliament are NOT laws. They are statues and only with our CONSENT do they acquire the force of law.
Basically statutes are merchant law under the Admiralty and are therefore just contracts. For a contract to be valid there must be an offer, a consideration and acceptance. With statutes, they assume our consent through our inaction. Additionally these statutes can only be forced (after our assumed consent) upon our PERSON.
A free minded human being is NOT subject to them if he/she is so inclined.
For more information on this…

So booing does work then?
Well done Reading.
I hope to hear a lot more of this.
Bloody marvelous.
BOOOOOOOOOOO to the lot of em.
There’ll be blue birds over the white cliffs of Dover..

Come back Vera.
Come back Dixon.
Good bye Broon you great big hoon
Put it there anyway – who knows when he might drop in. By the way, any chance of a gallows and rope as well?
Any photos?

I am looking back to Thursday’s because I didn’t get time to read them yesterday.
You and the Daily Labourgraph both! They get all of their ’scoops’ from other blogs/papers/ignored NDA’s etc of yesteryear.
Hoons!
Gordon Brown: “We’ll kill the latest Damian Green revelations by apologising for the Damian McBride revelations”
Jacqui Smith: “Nice one Boss”
Smith: Can I keep my job as well?
Brown: What job?
well, for a start there’s going to be plenty of hospital cleaner positions available
Watson is a devious and unpleasant man who deserves everything that he wished upon his opponents.
On a separate topic your piece in The Times today was great, well done.
Damn Straight Speech therapist.
Watson just go and phuqing kill yourself we need one less piece of sheet in the streets like you.
who ate all the pasties
Yet another fat, ugly Labour politician to ruin my morning.
McBride, Draper, Whelan, Watson, Brown – they are all simply revolting to look at – and i say that as a straight man.
How about a picture of that pretty little Labour babe Cheri Blair to brighten up your readers’ day Guido?
She has diverse talents it seems – plugging “sleeping aids”:
http://tiny.cc/5ZoqF
Perhaps the all- night pacing of a guilty husband contemplating enormity was the attraction of the product.
No?
Thought not.
Slotgob, dontcha love her? Glad to see she’s still being dragged here for the occasional slap.
Watson is a prime example of what one would call a human dustbin.
Cheri Booth Blair is a prime example of an argument in favour of POST birth abortion.
I can’t belief that this oaf’s still in his thirties!
Blimey. Suddenly, I feel better about my middle-aged spread.
looking in the mirror today late thirties and looking 10 years younger than the hoons . Honest living really does work
Fuck me, I’m 47 and I still look better than that fat sod.
/Proud.
Me too. Clearly, I haven’t been troughing it enough.
I’m 67 and I look better than the fat sod too!
It must be true, the trouble and strife said so…
My grandfather looks better than him and he’s been dead for 10 years
LOL
Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o’ nights:
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.
The RSC really ought to produce a version of Julius Caesar in modern dress.
Andy Burnham for Cassius.
Its being played out for real before our eyes
I’m 125 and not a wrinkle – must be the water.
Morning folks – just sitting here with my first cup of tea – you were all up very early. I see the Daily Mail this morning is saying that rumour is rife in Westminster that there will be more Smeargate revelations this weekend. “The time for making your farewells has been decreed – I closed my eyes and saw my funeral moving along” Well at my age I don’t like to think too much about funerals but a demise might be nice. Guido do you know something you aren’t telling us? You could tell us y’know we would keep it to ourselves.
On another upsetting note I see that the police investigation into Damien Green cost us taxpayers £5million.! I do hope that Jacqui Smith, Speaker Martin and Gus O’Donnell will be required to pay it back out of their own pockets since they were the one’s that instigated it.
Much better to prosecute for wasting police time
Yes but then the police would need to do another investigation and put together anoother case for CPS and that would cost us more money.
Not to worry its all quantatively eased monopoly money, a Brazillion here, a Quadrilllion there, doesn’t mean a thing.
She’s come a long way from an 88p plug
The ministers and top bureaucrats, coppers and sleaze merchants who cause this wasted expenditure should be forced to pay for it – especially those who have troughed the biggest expenses and pensions.
The next government should pass this law – but they won’t dare.
No way! They’ll put on their expenses.
He went to Cornwall? Was the North Queensferry tea shop closed?
Oi Bellringer!!
There’s more clotted cream in Cornwall, innit?
Wiv JAM!!
Or is he a jammy-dodger! . . . oh pathetic joke . . but it’s early, . . like wot Nell says!
How the f*ck can these Hoons get a week off to go there when the rest of the working population (exc. teachers) have to have the Easter break and then get back to work to pay for these government wasters who do circa 30 weeks ‘work’ a year if we are lucky, to be able to relax and enjoy themselves.
Oh the life and timetable of a student..
Our Richard’s gone to look at the Porn Wall!
Five million pounds?!!, Just so the military wing of NuLabour could threaten Green with life in prison? Could they just get the Mafia to do it next time? They charge only a tenth of that.
And more than a few glasses will be raised in the Sandwell Valley.
What’s on next!
O/T , but congratulations on getting printed in the Times . Fine job all round . Let’s hope you can continue to make a difference . I am really happy for you and your success .
congratulations to the Times for getting Guido to write for them.
Facial Slaps
Cramped Confinement
Stress Positions
Sleep Deprivation
CIA Torture Techniques?
No….NHS Hospital Care for the Elderly under New Labour
Right!
And what does she get for highlighting this?
Struck off!!
Life’s good under ZaNuLiebor
Well obviously, in a Mediocre-acy, you want apparatchiks and voters, not concerned professionals. Gievn the complete non-job ‘careers’ of the NuLabour rabble, what would you expect? Something like “Wow, that is really terrible, lets do something about it and fix the problem” No..it’s “sack the disloyal peasant”. “Make sure we don’t get found out again and keep the expenses and BMWs rolling”
Keep walking towards the light Watson, the end is near, very near indeed. Your Emperor McBraun and his fascist ZanuLabore movement, are dead men walking, finished.
From the Power of Information website set up by Tom Watson
http://powerofinformation.wordpress.com/
“Delivering transparency
A focus on outcomes is only meaningful when it is combined with clear and reliable information on performance. Transparency that delivers accessible and useful information on the performance of services and the outcomes they achieve is at the heart of our strategy for improving public services.”
Straight from Tom Watsons website. Try telling that to the poor old nurse who helped Panorama expose disgusting service in the NHS and who has now lost her job and career.
Absolute hippocrites the lot of them.
Roll on the next election but need Guido to find out what happened to the voting register at Glenrothes first or our votes will just be overwhelmed by postal votes!
With the emphasis on the hippo.
“‘Congraulations to you – the time for making your farewells has been decreed.’ “ – Or in Anglo Saxon terms – ‘Fuck off. Now.’
That’s not nectar, Tom, its bile.
Mmmm, my favourite!
Gawd, it seems like days since a troughing bent labour sleazebag has been turfed out on their obese arse – I hope you have another bloodfeast lined up for the weekend Guido. Y’know, timing-wise it would be elegant to schedule these oustings to a fibonacci sequence, spiralling into a pit of infinite doom.
Before August if poss as I’m going away.
Get the cross hairs out again please Guido, this time on a picture of Watson.
Let the corrupt bastard know what’s coming to him, McBride style.
Let Guido’s cross hairs strike fear in all those so marked.
Beware the cross hairs.
Better still, crosshairs on a silhouette so all the bastards sweat.
Amen to that!!!
Couldn’t miss the target – fat git that he is – could he?
Interesting to read that while 10 Downing Street was in ‘meltdown’ (PR Week), a key player there, and someone not a million miles from the epicentre, sat down with a good book. Oh yeah?
So, this little snippet not, then, just a naive device to suggest to us Watson’s insouciance born of innocence? Whatever you say Tom. Whatever you say.
What a disgusting display of self-pity from the Lardarse.
The only possible excuse for not knowing what McBride was up to is complete and utter incompetence. So which is it Watson ….. a liar or complete and utter incompetence.
Yes!
Both!
You’re such an awful tease Guido! Just let us know – is there more on the way? Should I ask Mr. Khan in the newsagents to reserve the papers for me on Sunday?
Nope, the dead tree press does not deserve your custom. Read the stories for free online, and do not click on any advertiser’s links.
Fuck the supine and complicit mainstream media.
They had the truth about Iraq’s LACK of WMD all along and carried the Bush/Blair lies anyway. They have the truth about “Global Warming” but still gleefully report cataclysmic lies. That have the truth about Iran’s nuclear power station progress, but still spread blatant lies about non-existent nuclear weapons.
They are STILL not reporting the results of the very recently published peer reviewed paper of a scientific forensic examination of WTC debris that conclusively proved that a form of thermite was used to bring down the WTC towers. That being the case it PROVES that we have all been lied to about 9/11 and the necessity to give up our liberties in exchange for security. In Italy their former President has come out and admitted that 9/11 was an inside job and the international security services know it.
Let me repeat, It is scientifically proven beyond doubt that a form of thermite WAS used to bring down the 3 WTC towers on 9/11:
http://www.bentham-open.org/pages/content.php?TOCPJ/2009/00000002/00000001/7TOCPJ.SGM
Oh and NO Bush had NOTHING to do with it, as Cheney was the main man in that operation.
So the two planes were photoshopped in? Don’t let that tinfoil hat slip off, and watch out for the black helicopters!
I feel sorry for you.
The plane’s made of aluminium the twin tower buildings are made of iron, your brain is made of wood.
Your dead right……
And I know for sure the earth is flat.
And those men on the moon pics were Photoshopped as well.
Oh look there’s a little green man outside.
There coming to take me away tra la….
Er Guido, you said yesterday during your interview at your office on table one ouside the Westminster Arms that the Foilhats were moderated out?
I will give £10,000,000 to the first person that tells me the flight number of the plane that hit WTC 7!!
That is the building that collapsed 23 minutes AFTER the BBC reported that it had already collapsed!
Additionally, How do you explain the thermite residue in the debris? This latest scientific report PROVES explosives you dolts. Read the fucking report!
Two planes hit, THREE buildings collapsed???
Do some thinking people for fucks sake!
Ned,
It’s not a peer-reviewed journal for a start. The ‘thermitic’ particles were mostly aluminium and iron oxide, which can be found everywhere there is iron and aluminium. Like in a big city where an aluminium plane has hit a large building with lots of iron girders in it.
This thread is (mainly) about Tom Watson – a fat, oily creep whose cringe-making blog, and self-serving bullshit is the (main) topic of discussion – along with our inept, semi-fascist government.
Please don’t turn this into a ‘truther’ site – the internet is already full of scientific illiterates and credulous numpties as it is.
Anonymous, pip, antocitizenone, Iwnatmymummy et al you dickheads, the two planes hit the two towers, but not tower 7. Fuck off with the tin-hat bollocks too. I do not believe in empty and unproven “conspiracy theories”, only in what can be 100% proven beyond doubt with hard empirical evidence. I am NOT one of the fuckwits that believe that no plane hot the pentagon, or the pod theories or any of that other shit.
When hard scientific, peer reviewed empirical evidence examined forensically PROVES beyond doubt that explosives were used, THEN and ONLY then do I take notice.
I might have hoped that some other thinking humans visiting this site might have the intelligence and reason to be able to think likewise.
It is disheartening to think that the same people posting here in constant criticism of the Bush/Blair/Brown cabals for their lying decietful and vile policies and the way they lied to start a fucking war of conquest in Iraq cannot also believe that these same lying scum were not capable of lying about 9/11 too, especially when the co-chairs of the OFFICIAL 9/11 commission admitted that their report is NOT TRUTHFUL. They admitted it on video, go look it up.
How much PROOF do you need?
For fucks sake. They are at war with us and you braindead, controlled fuckwits can only harp on about tin-foil hats!!!
Take your own tinfoil hats off first and look at the EVIDENCE!
Have you run out of hundreds and thousands to count?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
That evidence is weak. Ned, you also show some naivety about the status of scientific publications – because it is in a journal doesn’t make it true. I hate to break it to you, but there is a great deal of crap published in science journals, even very high ranking ones (which the one you link to most definitely is not).
Anyway the topic here is that fat oily species of the Parasitidae, Thomius Watsonius var Blubinious, Family: Troughinaceaea.
Oh dear, they’ve let the asylum out for afternoon coffee earlier than usual I see.
Ned – is that ‘ned’ as in Glaswegian slang?
One of the funny things about thermite is that when it burns, the iron oxide is reduced by the aluminium, so if thermite was used, what would be seen is aluminium oxide and elemental iron, not iron oxide and elemental aluminium, as the paper reports.
You’re a damned ned, Ned – now go away, please.
Oh Noes! My heart bleeds for the Dishonourable Member for West Bromwich East.
Not having a good week? Tough. If he got busy governing instead of shitstirring he may find life just that little bit more rewarding.
have you seen what MPs claim as expenses?
life is already far too rewarding for them
What’s he miserable about? He knew nothing, saw nothing, did nothing. He’s squeaky-clean. And if you say otherwise, he’ll send you a lawyer’s letter. So why the whingeing?
I think he is miserable because he suspects, or knows, or has been tipped off that he has been given enough rope over the past week to hang himself.
I have a feeling that the Sunday papers will reveal all – providing of course that Jaqboots & McStalin don’t order the Military Wing of Neo Labour (we used to call them the Police you know) don’t raid the papers & threaten everyone with life in prison for daring to oppose the Dear Leader McMental.
He deserves every molecule & globule of the tsunami of shite heading his way.
Oh you are awful!
But I like you.
Wait until he gets the bill from his “Solicitor” – either he (or the electorate) may be way more miserable.

Guido,you’re getting it in the neck from that useless waste of space,Steve Richards, in the Indy today.
Thankfully,his readers don’t seem to agree with him.
Must be a cushy job,publishing Downing Street press releases under his own by-line.
Apologies Bergen, published something similar at 122. Didn’t mean to give Snivelling Steve another mention.
He’s smarting from Dale asking him straight why if he was such a truth crusader why he didn’t blow the gaffe wide open before.
“errr memem eeem rr hhmph…”, said Steve.

Maybe he can employ Dolly for some psycho threapy sessions?
Frankly I hope that Watson is miserable to the point of topping himself. All this self-indulgent bollocks about his particular concerns. What the fuck does he think the rest of the nation feels like?
He and his truly ghastly colleagues care nothing for anyone else, so why should we give a toss about this mendacious, meretricious scumbag? Such a pity that he didn’t throw himself off The Lizard whilst he was there. That would have saved us all a great deal of further heartache.
But it would have made an odious mess of the beautiful Lizard and it’s somewhere a rather like to visit on occasion
your comments have been minuted.
I do hope so. I’d like them to be on record. After all, with the incredible levels of history re-writing it would be nice to think that something is relatively permanent, eh?
DEFINITION OF A ‘HOON’
One table drew the shortest of short straws when the nondescript Mr “Interesting” Hoon, the Transport Secretary, ambled up and introduced himself as their guest. Faces at the table did not quite fall, but you could almost see people on the table asking each other: “Who is he?”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/scotland/article6108333.ece
I don’t accept that. I am really popular. Ask my mum.
Tom Watson bully, realises the game is up and his days of power are numbered.
He’ll get no welcome on the backbenches and no excuses will be listened to.
Who’s your fat friend Gordon?
Brown:- Why must you all go on about us being fat? I may be one-eyed, I may be useless and I may be scottish, but I am not fat!
Minge:- Shut up you fat NuLiebor twat
It has been bugging me for days, just WHO does Dolly Draper sound like? His whining on Channel 4…
Oh yes, it’s Prince Herbert from Swamp Castle:
Prince Herbert’s books are more interesting.
On the Daily Politics Dolly v Guido, Dolly was like David Brent – lots of “well…” and same mannerisms
David Brent had more friends in The Office though and more charisma than Dolly

I don’t want to give the complete hoon a hit on his blog.

Talking of Duty Punchbags where is Stephen Pound today?

If only Tom had been in Westminster this wouldn’t have happened.
Being misquoted must have been a pain.
What a pity he didn’t choke on his Cornish pasty. But never mind. By the time he gets back to Downing Street he will have troughed so many Cornish pasties that when he resumes his desk next to that lately vacated by McBride he will disappear through the floor in a cloud of blubber, plaster and splinters to land ignominiously on the downstairs khazi whereupon after piecing together what has happened he will let out a thin inconsolable wail of self-pity and Ed Balls will have to come and blow his nose.

fetch me another crate of brown’s ale

Verminous fascist scum like Tom Watson have been allowed to survive and prosper because of their stooges in the mainstream media who protect them and give them an easy ride while ferociously attacking their political opponents.
One of the worst is Jon Snow of Channel 4, who pretends to be a nicey-nicey, lefty-liberal but who always pulls out all the stops when Labour are really in trouble.
His nasty, vicious attack on Damian Green last night scraped the barrel of blatant pro-govt bias.
The mounting attacks on Snow today are well justified. He should be made to account publicly for why he conducted that disgraceful smearing interrogation of an opposition politician who had just been cleared by the CPS and who is the victim of a politically-inspired, police state which, thankfully, didn’t succeed this time.
Watching that bastard Snow attacking Damian Green on C4 last night had me shouting obscenities at the telly. Good job wifey was in the kitchen preparing dinner or I wouldn’t have got a “leg-over”.
Jon Snow has now accepted that his questioning was “hostile” and “excessive” but in true Labourite fashion still refuses to apologise.
That’s not the end of the matter.
Although Snow’s perception of his politics means that he has absolutely nothing in common with the Neo-Nazi government he still displays the classic lefty’s visceral and unreasoned hatred of Tories. There are thousands like him. Ironic that they remain blind to the fact that the present government is a far greater threat to tolerance, freedom and democracy than the Tories ever were or could be. Useful idiots for the likes of our East German wannabes (q.v. Smith) these. They seem to cling to the deluded idea that the pretend ideology (socialism) excuses all even when the supposedly socialist government behaves more like a fascist junta. This ideological blindness is one of the reasons the media have not held the government properly to account.
The CPS statement made it pretty clear that there was no “crime” to begin with, but lefty smears continue by innuendo that Mr Green is a reprieved criminal rather than an innocent victim. How different it would be if Mr Green were not male, Tory or Caucasian. An object lesson in the bigotry of the left.
I see that Smith has announced a review of surveillance powers and has criticised councils for using them to police trivia. This is a self-preservation instinct because the true nature of how the public perceives her and all her works seems to have finally penetrated that bovine skull. It also conveniently glosses over the fact that the legislation that allows this is New Labour’s own (q.v. http://www.magnacartaplus.org/abstracts/index.htm#acts).
Too little too late Smith. You are despised – even by lefties. You should have been holding the police to account on behalf of the people not jumping into a cosy accommodation with them.
Great post, ELF!
ELF -
Would you be expecting much more from an frowdy teaching assistant’s bagcarrier working in a one-room “school” above a curry house in Bradford on cooking classes for 44-year-old “students” with fake visas from the Waziristan tribal area and occasionally preparing lessons in her sister’s one-up, three-down under-stair boxroom when not filling her other home (caretakered by a porno loving househubby) with expensive bathplugs at taxpayer expense?
No, me neither.
Tom, fuck off and don’t come back. Same goes for brown and the rest of that bunch of vagrants

You got it all wrong, again, Guido.
Psycho Draper wrote all that sentimental mush, now that he is down on his luck and needs a few pounds.
Of course I am miserable on this so called family holiday, with the Mrs,Siobhan looking for a holiday bonus on top of her secretarial pay, brother Dan bleating about being underpaid and overworked in public service, Dan’s wife whinging about which expense claims she can claim for her multiple jobs, not to mention cousin Amy making up the Watson wailing chorus of public servants .
It’s a right Vortex of a holiday I can tell you.

I love this quote (From the Guardian) :
“When Piers Morgan greeted the news of their engagement this summer with the comment, “Derek bloody Draper! If I’d known the bar was set so low, I’d have had a go myself,” he seemed to sum up a popular sentiment.”
I can’t stand Piers Morgan, but I’ll ratch him up one notch on the blokeometer for that one.
Just received a note from the council about the much-vaunted reprieve for businesses facing above-inflation increases in Business Rates.
”We will only be able to offer this option when regulations are put in place which is expected to be by the end of July. We will write to you again in the summer to invite Business Rates Deferral requests’
‘In the meantime you must continue to pay your rates as set out on your current bill’
Expect the destruction of several thousand small businesses in the meantime.
Oh, note this is a DEFERRAL SCHEME
You just get to postpone payment of 60% of the increase over the next two years
Yes, but they got some nice headlines out of it. The Times in particular really gave Darling luvvies over it. ZNL will be delighted to turn your business into an arts centre.
A bit like Lady Mandelbum’s £5k bribe to buy an electric car. It starts in 2011, and the hoons know they won’t be in power in 2011. Anyway, with the inflation which QE will let rip next year, £5k will need to be about £20k to get the same effect!
If the Tories stop it, just wait for the ZaNuLieBor hoonish hoots!
In the city I live in, there was a nice little discount bookshop.
A couple of months ago, I noticed a closing down sign in the window. On the day it closed, I asked the owner why she was no longer going to be operating here.
The answer was – because she couldn’t afford the rent. I asked who the landlord was, and, lo and behold, it was the city council. I then asked if she had tried to negotiate a rent decrease. The answer was, yes she had. She told the council how much she could afford, and the council then quoted 5,000 more than that. She reckoned she had no option but to close the business.
Meanwhile the shop (and at least 2 others, owned by the council, in the same street) is empty, and empty shops are not a good look in a city centre!
The Business Rates system is obscure to the man in the street, but I will try to explain:
Basically if your rent goes up, then your business rates go up in proportion in the following years.
The loud compaints about the 5% increase this year are not the whole story; if your rent goes up sharply, (i.e. you are in a booming shopping centre) your Business Rates increase is capped to 5% per year. This year the Government has said you can apply to pay 1.5% of your increasing rates next year and the other 1.5% the year after. Don’t forget, you may be facing another 5% next year if you rented a shop in a recently booming area. If you are a private individual, your landlord will pursue you mercilessly for his rent to the end of your lease. Most such leases also contain ‘upwards only’ periodic rent review clauses. In practice this means your shop will face a jump in rateable value every five years, because the leases are written such that rents can never be reviewed downwards.
Meanwhile areas in decline continue to pay a higher rate during the 5 year period between major rating list revaluations. If their rateable value eventually goes down (due to lower prevailing rents) the decrease is limited to 5% per year. This is called buffering. In essence, area in decline subsidise those on the up.
It does not matter if you own that small bookshop outright, the Valuation Office will assess your rateable value as the rent which could be obtained for that location by issuing mandatory rating returns to the surrounding properties. It is an offence not to declare to the Inland Revenue the rent you are paying to a landlord, so when the adjacent branch of Marks and Spencer sends in their return, your rates will be reassessed on their scale at the next five-yearly revaulation. But since smaller rentals typically attract a higher rate per square foot in rent, the small bookshop will eventually pay more Business Rates per square foot than the M&S next door.
No doubt the Uniform Business Rate system was intended to be fair when conceived, but it was probably cobbled by self-interested peers as it went through the Lords
Mechanisms such as this, contrived to boost up-coming areas with the laudable intention of creating jobs, serve to ensure that boom and bust will always be with us.
A tax partly based on business turnover would be fairer, would give automatic relief in a downturn, and give early warning of recessionary forces building in the economy.
I hope this explains the contribution the Business Rates system has made to our High Streets so far, and why the smaller shops will continue to fold.
Oh, I forgot to mention Small Business Rate Relief, which applies if your Rateable Value (roughly your rent) is less then £15,000 per year, and is a reduction of 5% on the difference between your rateable value and £15,000.
Shops in town centres attract a rental valuation of several hundred pounds per square metre of retail space. So a shop larger than about 50 square metres wouldn’t benefit.
a similar tale here for an arty/ fancy goods shop that was really popular.
Councils are so fucking short sighted, probably because of the morons who work for them
Please….when is this nightmare going to end. Every which way you turn you are running into brick walls and tax. It can’t go on like this.
excellent piece, Grobdj. clear, precise and, I trust, acccurate. Perhaps you might apply your obvious talent to an analysis of the many ways that MEPS are currently screwing their taxpayers.
grobdj
Good analysis.
In addition, office floor space is disproprortionately expensive; an analysis was done to show that effectively there is a false market in the UK because councils have no incentive to grant planning permission because the rates go straight to Whitehall. Pre-crash (don’t know about now) floor space in poorer areas of Birmingham was dearer than in Manhattan.
Don’t get me started on supermarket car parking and out of town developments…

Is there anything sadder and more pathetic than seeing a nasty swaggering bully whine and whinge, crying and moaning like a spoiled child given a slap for the first time.
The tables turned on him for once and he wallows in self pity and victimhood, while reaching for some very exensive ambulance chasers of course.
NOTE TO WATSON: fuck off you slimy bastard, I hope you drown in the moral sewer that you and your friends did so much to create, I hope you meet all those poor bastards you happily destroyed on the way down, look em in the eyes Watson if you dare you slimy two faced fat pig.
You don’t like him then?
‘course he likes him. They’re good mates. It’s just a bit of banter :)
Mr Fawkes, this smacks of a tease similar to the rock you started rolling last Thursday.
May we guess that you have some paper that may shorten Mr Watson’s ministerial life?
The Prime Minister has a few more friends whose life he will lay down for his own in taking full responsibility….
I have a good, positive & excited feeling that the Sunday papers will reveal all – providing of course that Jaqboots & McStalin don’t order the Military Wing of Neo Labour (we used to call them the Police you know) don’t raid the papers & threaten everyone with life in prison for daring to oppose the Dear Leader McMental.
There is something in the air, a feeling of great anticipation as to what is about to unfold.
Watson deserves every molecule & globule of the tsunami of shite heading his way this weekend – as do the “others”
I LOVE “Tsunami of Shite”! The revelations of the past week are brin ging out the literary best of so many fellow blog addicts.Well done!
you are quite correct. an extra point, and you are now in the lead..
The working week is easily endured and flies by when an expectant ‘Labour name and shame weekend’ beckons!!!
I, too, was thinking that Guido might have some more entertainment for us this weekend.
maybe the best is yet to be revealed.
I have a warm feeling coming over me.
That’ll be the semen
Are you Mandelbum?
That’ll be the aforementioned tsunami.
Are the articles you wrote in the Speccie and the Thunderer a rallying cry to other journo’s?
To get them to delve through their material and publish?
Is that because you have more, and the embarrassment will fall on them too if they don’t speak up?

Glad you can laugh, still it’s better than weeping I suppose.
They really do think we are idiots, don’t they.
Jam tomorrow – the Tories are paying!
(And not for RedRag either. I wonder who did pay?)
Oi you lot – I believe themefweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee – oi – nurse -stop trying to pull me away the compppppppppppppppppppppppppppppprrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I’m not sure it’s them thinking we are idiots that is the problem here. It seems that the people at the top of the Labour party are completely stupid but do not recognise their own stupidity. Even worse, they think they are incredibly intelligent and don’t even see their own mistakes. What you see as them treating you like an idiot is actually them showing the world how incredibly clever they are. It’s rather embarrassing, isn’t it?

Steve Richards over at the Independent is going off on one about you Guido and us bloggers calling us “internet vandals.”
He thinks we’ve got it in for McSnot and Co.
Can’t think why.
Just off for my swim and gym session to keep the old bones moving – Ill be back later to practice my internet vandalism skills on Mr Richards, immature and shallow person that he is.
Don’t forget to inflate your water wings.
Or do you use a rubber ring?
About 15 years ago I actually saw Steve Richards look someone in the eye. Only for a few nanoseconds, but he actually did it.
I am so proud I witnessed that great event…
His own reflection?
The ludicrous Steve Richards is competing with Toilets Maguire for the title of Brown’s biggest arselicker.
His readers aren’t impressed though.
I call hi m Ankles,he’s so far up Broons marmite motorway that’s all you can see!!!!!!!!!!!
He is a cowardly, cocksucking hoon – imagine writing all that teachers pet garbage about new labour AND thinking he has the moral high ground. These ‘newspapers’ need to fucking die and hoons like Richards need to be digging fucking trenches for a living – good honest work for once in his miserable life.
Isn’t Richards that HOON who does the graveyard shift on GMTV on Sunday?
Yes – the very same bed-wetter – if you do need a dose of weak left leaning piss, check out the hair transplant/combover.
No. He actually “…presents GMTV’s flagship current affairs show…”. I know, I barely stopped laughing long enough to type this.
“Flagship” “Current Affairs” “GMTV” all in one sentence……A new oxymoron for Modern Britain.
Imagine being in the pub with him for a few drinks? The life and soul of any party where Naguib Mahfouz is being discussed. Clearly, a bundle of laughs. I feel sorry for his wife. Those winter nights must drag on forever. If he thinks he hated the trip to Cornwall imagine how his poor family felt, cooped up with him while he quoted from his latest read.

TIMES EXCLUSIVEAstonishing in-house ‘harassment and bullying’ row leaves:
* Entire Labour Party branch suspended for over a year
* Detectives drafted in, to probe financial allegations
* Labour fearing 2010 local election disaster
* Party bosses ordering wall of silence
AN ENTIRE South Yorkshire Labour Party branch has been suspended for over a YEAR – after an astonishing in-house row between its members, the Times can reveal.
At one stage, detectives were even drafted into the investigate fraud allegations, amid claims and counter-claims of “bullying and harassment”. But no-wrong-doing was found.
The wrangle has resulted in the branch’s activities being
suspended until 2010 – amid Labour Party fears that the electorate will turn its back on the branch at next year’s elections.
Labour chiefs have ordered a news blackout on the affair. An internal investigation report said all concerned should be warned that “speaking with/assisting the press will not be tolerated”.
But the Times has been given a copy of the report into the row that has rocked the North Dearne Labour Party branch.
And now the lid can be lifted on the affair, that has remained secret since it first began, with the suspension of the branch last October.
Full story in this week’s South Yorkshire Times (April 16).
Ha, ha. The branch was suspended in October
This is their MP (who covers North Dearne) visiting McCursed in Ten Down Street – in October!!
The curse of Brown strikes again!!!

Jeff Ennis MP – Barnsley East and Mexborough is the only constituency in South Yorkshire that covers more than one Borough Council area. It covers 6 Wards in the Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council area namely the North East Ward, Darfield, Dearne North, Dearne South, Wombwell North and Wombwell South and three Wards namely Mexborough and parts of the Sprotbrough and Bentley wards in the West of the Doncaster Metropolitan Borough area.
They’re in full retreat. Expect scorched earth policy and burning of important documents on open fires a la last days of the Third Reich.
Please email me on this one old chap.
Copy in Tom Watson if possible
Yours in the struggle
The newspaper says they have a copy of the report. They also say they are going to publish it on the 16th – but it’s not on their website. Does anybody have a copy of the South Yorkshire Post for yesterday?
Seeing as the story is about bullying – and is clearly in the public interest – don’t you think we ought to contact them to get a copy.
Here is the reporter … email him and ask if he is being bullied to keep the story out the paper?

Just look at Gordo. In addition to acting like Richard Nixon he looks increasingly like him. Old and haggered.

Maybe she needs to spend more time with her family.
Look, this nonsense about her being under pressure is bollox. She could nuke fuckin’ Moscow and she’ll keep her job and have the full support of the Prime Minister etc etc.
Labour are crooks, they don’t do resignations and never will, so why bother. What needs to accepted is that she will stay in place no matter what and to keep on building the case against her and her rabble and present it to the electorate, to inform them and let them make their own minds in June this year for the Euro ‘elections’ and the GE next year.
she’s growing these bags deliberately in an effort to reduce her carbon footprint. when she goes shopping at john lewis for her next round of taxpayers loot spending spree, she will use the bags to carry the items home.

ARSEHOLE OF THE YEAR 2009
Its only April 17th and we already have some red-hot contenders for the Award of The Golden Arsehole.
Top tips are McBride, Watson, Jacqui Smith, Gordo, McNulty, Draper and Mandelson (how apt).
Any other contenders?
Robinson,Brown,Goody,those 2 scotish footballers,that Gordie hack,Harmison
+ Esther Rancid, Giles Brandreth, Lordy Archer.

Arse was uncommon but not unknown as a surname in the 16th century: a John Arse married a Marie Day in Leicestershire on 6th July1568 – and how thrilled she must have beento find herself henceforth known as Marie Arse.
In the 18th century, a whole family a whole family of Arses, probably of Spanish origin, resided in Milton Bryan, Bedfordshire, where Exequiel, son of Manuel and Carmen Arse was baptized on 21st March 1877.His was the last Arse birth to be recorded.
The last of the British Arses had apparently all died of shame, changed their names or perhaps, emigrated leaving a hole. This is possibly when the derogatory term “Arsehole” entered into use.
My nomination, therefore, for a special award for Posthumous Arsehole is Exequiel Arse for leaving a hole.
Right Bastard.
Will add Posthumous Areshole to the list of categories.
More nominations please.
‘The last of the British Arses had apparently all died of shame’.
No, they became New Labour.
In respect to ‘Diversty’ we shoudl ahve a special arsehole award that excludes white people….only fair after all there is a Black Police Officers Association. So to celebrate our nations diversty……daa naa, I give you…
Black Arsehole of the Year 2009. (To be known wittignly as winning “A Black Hole”)
Contenders?
My list:
Boetang
Lammy
Vaz
Don’t overlook me. I’ll go further: I’m INSTRUCTING you not to overlook me.
Michael White, Martin Kettle, Polly Toynbee
Blunkett
All fabulous arseholes, but Boateng gets my nomination. Anyone who has forgotten how arseholic he is is will get a treat when he returns to the UK in May.
I have been enjoying reading Kettle getting boiled on his blog.
Well I am sure that most of the MSM journalist should be there. So many arseholes, so little time.
Ok
Jeremy Paxman
Andrew Marr
Polly Toynbee
to name a few of the obvious, I went on the BBC website to find the names of
others but have just noticed that none of their articles have any journalist credited for any of the pieces that they publish, now that’s real integrity that is.
naw – just house style.
Indeed.
We can only hope that their sallow, pudgy, dead behind the eyes demeanour is an inner sign of serious cardiac problems in the near future.
Having an early massive heart attack & saving the taxpayers some cash would be the first & only example of them ever undertaking any service & duty to the public.
Problem is, most of the bastards are probably private. Perish the thought that they would have to use the NHS.
A scared Steve Richards (Independent) misses the point more times than an MP claims expenses with his article here:
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/steve-richards/steve-richards-open-contempt-for-politicians-is-neither-daring-nor-clever-1669919.html
The internet vandals with their lighted torches have amassed outside little Steve’s dwelling.
what a pathetic article by richards.
another man of courage.
still we all know what ‘richards’ are don’t we?
They obvuiously sent his invite by Royal mail. Someone should tell him about this new email thingy. Does labour not have a minster, or at least someone (some bloke called Mr Garraway, I thought) that knows about this “digital” stuff. If they did, they could “engage”, like the rest of the world!
Scared of being “hacked”!
This government is a walking advertisment for the 7 deadly sins:
Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Wrath
Envy
Pride
here’s hoping they live up to their billing.
Guido-great article in the Times today-congrats!
May I suggest the liebour postal voting scams be high up on your target list? This scam could stop democracy in its tracks at the GE!
I suspect only the presence of UN observers might ameliorate this scandal!
Can we ‘the electorate’ petition the UN?
A seconder for postal voting scams.
BBC,Paxman,Fergison,Harman Pride,Blears,
The Daily Mirror site has removed the set of pics showing Dolly carting his PC off to be cleansed. Now why is that?
People are starting to ask questions via the latest story. Shall we all go over and ask?
http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/mirror-images/
forgot to add: look at “Recent Comments”
Tory Bear has posted the images
http://www.torybear.com/
I want to know what’s in Dolly’s shredder.
His face would be good.
Wot – no picture of Watson in the sniper’s sights yet?
Go on, Guido – it would foretell a weekend of uncontolled joy in The Bunker….
Angry Guardian readers launch ferocious attacks on Brown, the govt, and all the journalistic stooges who shelter and support them:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/apr/17/gordon-brown-labour-sleaze
Brown is dead man walking. He won’t survive another 13 months.
Moves will be made to dump him after the local/Euro elections in June.
The campaign to replace him has already started.
Angry Guardian readers = Lib Dim Losers in need of a good slapping from Damian and Charlie.
I am the leader of the gang ( I am)
And that was before we started :shock:
Guido,
Check your inbox
Has it been hacked?
Well, plenty od candidates for The Golden Arsehole 2009 award.
So many in fact that I think we will have to have a few categories. How about
Lying Politician
Corrupt Politician
Inept Politician
Ambitious Politician
Spin-Doctor
Sportsnam
Celebrity
Any more suggestions?
Goverment Stooge
And why did it take a blogger to bring down the bounder McBride when I have been reading dozens of articles by the resident journos at the great newspapers that all tell us it had been going on for a long time and they all knew.
Well, you fearless little shrimps, why not be men and women like the saintly Guido and tell us all? Tell us in the pages of the august chronicles for which you pen your dire little stories. Tell us names and dates and devious nastiness.
But you won’t will you because you are scared and in fact are nothing more than funnels down which the political classes pour whatever nonsense they wish. We all know this so why not do something that may for a few days rescue some sort of personal credibility, and then take up a real job with a clear conscience?
Do this and ride off into the real world with your heads held high. Alice Miles in the Times names some. A nice girl Alice, and brave too. So what about the rest of you? How about some of the swine we know less about than the front men? How about the ones who are keeping very quiet at the moment despite their years in the PR game and their inclination to lecture us on morality because they are now ministers of the church and the like. How about them? Or are they saintly? The only purpose of PR is deceit. There are no saints past or present within the PR dodge.
What are a bunch of professionally deceitful people doing advising politicians? Politicians are naturally deceitful; don’t encourage them …..for the sake of the good Fawkes; don’t be doing that my pretties.
PR, a place where the truth are lies and lies are the truth.
I really can’t understand why the so called journalists allowed it to go on for so long. All they needed to do was record coversations with McPoison, keep emails and texts, then get together and blow him out of the water. Problem solved.
Problem is, as we who write copy for magazines know, is that journalists and editors are really very lazy or else they would get a real job.
Nick Robinson’s blog constantly questions his bias towards Labour – now we know the answer. Perhaps on his return from his Easter hols he will let us know his feelings on the subject!!!
Some hopes.
If you can get onto the Times website (I have given up, been down with rare exceptions for days now), Alice Miles fesses up to how she and all the other hacks turned a blind eye to it. Confirmation that if you want the truth, don’t go to the MSM.
OT, but does anyone know when hyperegregious motormouth lawyer His Excellency the Right Honourable Paul Boateng wends his way First Class back to the smoke from his lengthy sojourn in the Governor’s Mansion in Cape Town?
I heard a rumour that his luxury sinecure is over, so perhaps we will once again be treated to his agressive verbiage-stream on Newsnight.
I once met Mt Boateng. He came across as very arrogant and extremely nasty. I look forward to his contibutions in the media!!!
This article, written 7th April, says he is to be replaced ‘next month’ so May, then.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boateng-to-return-from-his-post-in-south-africa-1664437.html
He’s being kicked out of South Africa for being racist and oppressive towards the black servants. His son was also arrested on a rape charge not long after they got there.
The Boatengs are a vile bunch, though no doubt he’ll soon be ranting at us racist Brits from a comfy seat in the House of Lords.
Not nearly as nasty as his wife, who lorded it over the servants in Cape Town like an old-school Afrikaans “madam”.
Mate of mine who hung around New Labour for a while said exactly the same. Met him at some conference and was distinctly unimpressed by the size of the man’s ego.
When he was at the Home Office Paul Boateng loved to make high profile visits to police stations, probation offices, and prisons where he used to lord it over the staff.
He regularly threatened front line workers with the sack if they didn’t apply government guidelines to the letter.
He is an odious, talentless, arrogant piece of shit.
I expect he’ll be lecturing us all from the House of Lords before too long.
Apparently his missus is in trouble for “bullying” the local hired help. She got a bit above herself. A black-on-black thingy.
When he was at the Home Office Paul Boateng used to love making high-profile visits to police stations, probation offices, and prisons and threaten the local staff personally with the sack if they didn’t work to the governments agenda to the letter.
He is an odious, arrogant, talentless, jumped-up piece of shit.
black on black isnt a real crime according to lefties.
had lord boateng had a white wife however…………………..
Boateng was well known for bullying police, probation, and prison officers when he was at the home office. He just loved treating front line officers as shit in public.
Last nights interview of Damian Green by Jon Snow on Ch 4 was a disgrace. Green is the victim in all this and had just been exonerated by the CPS, yet Snow treated him like a criminal, accused him of “grooming”, and was extremely hostile throughout.
These pro-Labour journos like Snow and Marr show blatant bias. Ripping into Tories while going soft on Labour politicians.
Snow is just another posturing pseudo-leftie.
These champagne socialists are terrified of a Tory government.
Forget the piano wire – just string the arsehole up by one of his ‘comedy’ ties.
Paxo’s interrogation on Newsnight, BBC last night 16/4 was no better. Treated Green as if he was still an accused and under investigation. Still, it doesn’t matter, he is a Tory so can’t give him an easy ride like we at the BBC do with Zanu or the Lib Dims.
The MSM hacks are so jealous of you, Guido, they’re all spitting blood. I hope you really are your own man though, Guido, because I don’t like the way you keep bigging up Tony Bliar.
I’m pretty sure Blair doesn’t want to come to this mess. He’s made his mint and well out of it.
In any case, I think Blair’s lining himself up to be the next Pope. Ratzinger’s not getting any younger…
Tony can’t be the next Pope – you have to be a homosexual for that role.
Oh.
#258
fast foward to 2.15
I knew I heard the pope bit before.
At the risk of sounding humourless – any adult male Roman Catholic can become Pope (sexual orientation is not an issue). If he’s not already Bishop of Rome, they can ‘bishopize’ him on the spot to take up the post.
Our own dear Guido is eligible…….
Dear Bloggers
Thought I should break out from my well earned vacation (it’s hard work witnessing the World being saved) to defend our PM.
He is working hard to fix all the cock-ups when he was Chancellor (strike out – Ed) … working hard to save the Britsh economy and jobs and supporting loafers (strike out -Ed) … supporting hard working families.
Bugger the pensioners earning zero interest and starving (strike out – Ed) … We are also focusing on Pensioners and will have some good news for them in the budget.
The PM cannot be held responsible for his closest advisors actions. Realistically, what time does he have to meet with them when he is travelling the World sharing his unique knowledge of ruining (strike out Ed.) …running economies.
Note to Ed. This should give us great access to the NuLab fax machine next week. We have to keep the Tories out to keep our jobs, bonuses and pensions at the Beeb.
My local Labour MP here in Manchester has told me that leading Labour figures, inc. Cruddas and Purnell, are now actively engaged in looking at ways to ditch Brown after the June elections.
He expects Brown to be out before the summer.
My unique and well earned access to the top of Government provides me with the certainty that this will not happen. Just because the news media reports sackings doesn’t mean they’ve actually gone.
Brown didn’t get where he is today without a few underhand tricks.
There are plenty of places to hide his attack dogs in the bloated Public Sector. And they have the photos!
Thanks for the tip, I’ll get the SPADs on to him right away
G. Brown
WATSON , here’s a book to add to your list:
LIFE SUPPORT by 8Ace Dolly Draper
review (amazon): “not very absorbant, too few sheets”
Watson just looks so smug and arrogant. Like a white Keith Vaz.
Homophobe… no, err, racist!
Oh, bugger, what’s our stock rebuttal this week??
Sod it, officer – arrest this man for dissent…
…And today, from the Holy Moly mailout… :-)
MCBRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL
This week saw the Labour Party having to put spin doctor Damian McBride to the sword for his ham-fisted attempts to ’smear’ the Tories.
It turns out Damian is far from honourable (cue all manner of ‘Rik From The Young Ones’-style armchair political pundits bleating out that “there’s NO honour in government, man”). Unsurprisingly he has past form for underhand tricks.
A few years back, Damian was competing in the annual Treasury “pub quiz” but wasn’t confident enough in his own intellect to compete properly. Instead he tried to text the trickier questions to an AQA-style mobile answer service. It all went swimmingly until a rival team spotted it and grassed him up. This saw his team being stripped of ten points…
And provoked a tirade of swearing and threats that was so extreme, people initially thought that he was light-heartedly spoofing a character from ‘The Thick of It’. But he was being deadly serious.
The gist of the rant was that his colleague who had reported him for cheating might as well pack his bags and leave HM Treasury, because his career was over, and he would never work in Whitehall again.
His last tirade is prophetic when aplied to himself.
i wonder who was in his team? No doubt some of the journalists who had, up until last week, been so anxious to cozy upto him.
OT: “The connection was refused when attempting to contact http://www.labourhome.org.”
There it is.
I doubt it’s due to traffic overload, though (unlike Guido’s excellent site).
Has anyone launched a mole hunt yet?
Whelan and Draper are sticking to the ‘hacked’ line. Perhaps they think the McBride of Frankenstein and chums have put so many noses out of joint over the years zeroing in on someone with a grudge would be impossible.
Not a peep from Pravda BBC regarding the suspension of South Yorkshire Labour Party branch for bullying.
I wonder if the same silence would follow if it was the Conservative Party Branch in South Yorkshire that had been suspended for a year?
The desperate bias they show now in propping up this unmandated Prime Mentalist is sickening, akin to the Romanian press just before justice was finally administered.
They don’t see it, they just don’t see it or get it at all. The BBC is sick & wrong on so many levels now that I doubt that the News side of that bloated edifice can be saved – let alone reformed. The bias is too engrained, the Labour Thought Police too deeply embedded.
It simply has to go.
A good piece in the Daily Mail yesterday regarding the double standard in the manner the BBCcovered the Countryside Alliance peaceful protests as opposed to the Crusties G20 bash.
The Military Wing of Neo Labour (The Metroploitan Police as we used to know them) are another politicised organisation that will have to be deep cleansed of the Third Way careerist politiko’s that currently infest & infect the Met.
To true RRW (mrs). Tuned into BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning (fool that I am) hoping for some civilised discourse on the momentous political shenanigans of the past 24 hours.
What were we treated to – Thought for the Day, some ordure from Tony Blair’s fat ex flatmate, the news, a 10 minute prime time slot on South Africa (very worthy – but for another day surely), a discussion about the origins of Cleopatra, sport, more news ………..
It is beyond parody.
Geordie – you are absolutely spot on. It is bloody disgusting. Cleopatra – who gives a bothersomeshit.
L-O-A-D-S-H-I-T-T-I-N=G
Even Oxfam’s Antonia Bance has dropped Tom Watson from her website, having asked him only 2 weeks ago to plug the Oxfam UK poverty campaign report on his blog. Things aren’t looking well for the minister; his friends are deserting him. Oh dear…..
He looks like an overweight oaf in the picture above, so he’s hardly a good associate for Oxfam.
Clearly Oxfam’s food aid is being mis-directed
Guido can we expect any more revelations this weekend? Pretty please?
….. and now for some good news
the labour party, now reincarnated as New Labour, but in reality New Stassi
are dead
Ohhh . . . . (quietly weeps to the accompaniment of funereal dirge)
I remember the previous sanctimonious little shit saying :
‘And we shall govern as NooLieBore’
Am hazy about what happened afterwards.
Oh no – I remember . . ‘Blah blah bullshit blah bla bullshit . . . .’ (cot’d until the current joker appeared) . . and then continues ‘blah blah bullshit blah bla bullshit . . . ‘
What goes around, comes around, Mr Watson
Cauceasceu Moment
Lets have a national policy of booing the lying scum whenever they are in public
It will be more efective than anything else the MSM can dream of
is it ok to boo with a twelve bore?
I second that.
BOO how you like.
But BOOM sounds better.
True to Mr. Falkes original intentions in every respect I think.
Anyone fancy helping to dig a tunnel?
OT a bit. In todays smellygraph Andrew Pierce seems to have changed his tune a bit re Draper. Scroll to the end of the article.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/andrewpierce/5166457/Hillsborough-You-can-rely-on-politicians-for-fine-words-and-sound-bites.html
So. Dolly thinks he can jump on the Blair bandwagon and make a living by speaking about life changes eh? God help us. Someone should tell Pierce he’d be very wise to keep his money in his pocket.
There’s also a bit in their about being sorry for McBride who having resigned never got a letter from Brown unlike a Minister.
However like a Minister he made a “resignation statement” which doesn’t actually appear to be a resignation letter – so where is that and what did he resign from?
A resigning Minister remains an=d MP. Does a resigning Spad remain a civil servant, ready to be reallocated to another position? That would explain the lack of severance pay.
Very similar to the questions I was asking yesterday.

What an odious cretin Dolly is. Guido – you restrained yourself admirably.
Cheers
any constructive critism for the new blogger among you?
Are you sure that you are independant [sic] in your header like Draper on Garraway’s wages or independent as in your own man?
Pix would help IMHO. Welcome!
RIP Watson. He can always earn a living doing the dishes, mind you, with his lals…..
Hat tips all round to Guido!
Tom Watson is miserable
Is it true thatt Cornwall have declared a state of emergency?
Tom Fatson managed to clear out all of the cream tea mines and as a result tourism has been badly hit,
I just went on the http://www.john-watson.co.uk and asked “Why not show all your emails for the last six months to Gus?” – its still awaiting moderation ( 11:57 )
I wonder how many other folk have done this
This could be the end of his blogging days if everybody continuously sends him comments
Done this myself and its being moderated.4hrs ago.
There’s a lonely dairy consultant somewhere by the name of John Watson who is suddenly getting very excited by the onrush of visitors to his cheesy website.
R56
Tom, that’s TOM Watson… (www.tom-watson.co.uk)
There’s going to be a very confused dairy consultant out there.
Hi
My name’s John Watson
Who’s wants me?
Beat me to it R56!
Hi it’s John Watson here again
I’ve just been asked to speak at a Digital Conference by a Mr Brown about the “Implications of Digital Interactivity!
Has anybody got a clue what I should say? Please
Brilliant!!!
Moo…
Digital summit without the ‘Man Who Can’? Will he be missed? No. Was it arranged purposely to side step him? Ah now there’s a question :)
More like Gordon ordered him to stay away-Gordon doesn’t want Mr Watson anywhere near Gordon at the moment just in case Mr Watson is about to become an even greater liability with more revelations this weekend. We can only hope.
Perhaps Purnell can photoshop him in if he survives the weekend… :)
Purnell would probably prefer to thump him, the mcbridal-noballs conspiracy is smearing him as a shirtlifter.
Watson has summed up the personality of the bully perfectly! Full of himself, crowing from his dunghill, and pushing the little guy around so long as he can get away with it, then cringing and pathetic and gone into hiding when the boot is on the other foot!
As for feeling sorry for him in his island exile, we might as well feel sorry for Adolf Eichmann making himself scarce in South America!
I wonder what twaddle Lord Meddlesome will deliver to this so-important (hugh?) Digital Conference. I have been trying to work out all the self-interests involved in such an eclectic range of speakers/spouters. Wonder if they will get topical and discuss no10 or the Swedish court decision on the content privacy case?
Gordon Brown says that there is no place in politics for conduct like that of McBride. The MSM go along with this and, although in some quarters there may be some reluctance to do so, generally they seem to support Guido’s contribution which they see as extremely important.
Given that gongs are given to footballers, pop-stars, winners of events at the Olympic Games, bankers and even the occasional M.P. and M.E.P., maybe the Prime Minister will wish to consider Guido for an award in recognition of him having provided a signal, timely and valuable public service.
Am not quite sure what passport Guido holds but if non-UK there are still appropriate awards that may be given in these circumstances.
Not sure Guido can be given any “honour”. After all, isn’t his lovely wife a criminal? (Joke, Guido)!
Well if no gong, perhaps Brown will invite Guido for lunch at Chequers so that he may say ‘Thank you’.

Now THAT’s comedy !
I am very intrigued by this GMTV/New Labour nexus: Kate Garraway and Dolly; Fiona Phillips, an arch-Labourite who was asked by Brown to join his government; and now I learn Gloria de Piero used to be a housemate of Tubolard Watson.
Is de Piero yet another New Labour cheerleader?
It’s all a bit cushy, really.
Also known as Gerry Mccann TV
I also the other 1997 Fiona Phillips classic the day after Princess 2 O-Levels bought the farm, when she said after hours of racking up the national hysteria, ” Diana, also means D (iana) I(s) AN (A)ngel now…….”
When you then find out that such an utter prat was asked to join the “Government” (I can only use quotation marks from this day forth) – you almost yearn for the days when to be in Parliament a chap had to own most of a county, ride to hounds and blast things from the sky most weekends.
Sorry posted that as anon, and between ‘I’ and ‘also’ insert ‘cringingly Remember’
You would enjoy the Fiona Philips thread in the Showbiz forum on digitalspy. It’s been going for ages because they cherish “Queef” as she is known there.
You may laugh but such people tended to understand the basics of economics and of diplomacy
Britain is seriously screwed up IMO.
The crazy thing is everyone knows that McBride, Draper and Whelan work directly for Gordon Brown and that they were only carrying out his direct instructions to smear and lie about opposition politicians and their wives.
Yet the mainstream media is now pretending that these guys were just an aberration and that Brown is as disgusted and angry as the rest of us.
The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
As for the Digital Summit, Mandelson is no doubt hoping to bring together under one roof the men and women who will deliver his dream of monolithic internet control, so that the web speaks with one voice – his own – and he is rid forever of ‘troublesome priests’ like Guido.
By-products will include a totally integrated New Labour information system, such that what I say here will be available to readers of my national data base entry, together with a credit-scoring-like risk assessment modeled on the known personality traits of Graf von Stauffenberg. So many points, and my file will attract the attention of a human operator…
Yeah. Hoon’s been sniffing around Nominet for a while, making noises about taking it into govt control.
Margaret Moron (Luton South) is a member of the Internet Governance Forum and has been the biggest beneficiary of Nominet junkets, as well as being a legendary expenses claimer, and abuser of House of Commons stationary.
She is a terrorologist through and through, and has demanded legislation to prevent the “radicalisation of children and vulnerable people by terrorists and extremist organisations” – which for some mysterious reason does not include membership of Young Labour.
Ha, Draper book
Im amazed he can even read and write
http://www.what-they-wont-tell-you.blogspot.com/
What does the Digital Engagement Minister do when he’s not in Cornwall or filling in his expenses forms? Does he oversee the correct methods of sticking fingers into things?
By the way, has Watson noticed that McBride has “gone” (just need to get to the bottom of his current employment/pension status before we celebrate too much)? May be Watson will stay in Cormwall engaging his digits there in the hope that Brown doesn’t need to call him into the office to be resigned.
Hope Watson gets to keep his pension when he finally goes – my advice to him would be to get Brown and Harman to promise to stop it, then he’ll know it’s safe.
http://what-they-wont-tell-you.blogspot.com/
good bit of blogging omn DNA and the Stazi State we live in
OT. Listening to PM on Radio 4. So far, nearly 15 minutes on CIA torture. NOTHING on the unravelling of the Brown Reich.
It’ll be Zimbabwe next – it’s been very important over the last year or so that the BBC ensures that we understand every last permutation of that situation, at length, every day, every hour, over and over again.
Telling us what to expect when we get caught logging on Guido.
Or possibly a covert warning from a BBC that can see the writing on the wall – and a cry for help too!
I am volunteering to collect Watson and drive him to the Digital conf. I can probably claim the petrol on his expense account. Come to think of it, he has from now till tomorrow to come up on his own steam.
Alimentary, my dear Watson.
He never really said that, you know!
“So it is with the greatest sadness that I have to say that I no longer believe that your remaining in office is in the interest of either the party or the country”. Quote from the OLD resignation letter to Bliar.
This holiday Watson (MP for West Bromwich East) had in Cornwall; was it at the one neighbouring MP Adrian Bailey (MP for West Bromwich West) owns in Cornwall?

‘Laughter really could be best form of medicine’
Guido, do you realise the value of the service you are providing for the nation?
I’ve been wondering why I feel better since reading your Blog. Haven’t laughed so much since when I used to listen to my Dad mercilessly slagging off the news (especially BBC).
I think your Blog should qualify for an NHS grant.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/5164660/Laughter-really-could-be-best-form-of-medicine.html
Hear, hear.
Havn’t had so much fun for years,
And no wet patches either.
Keep it up Guido.
The blog I mean.
Letter to the Times if yoou missed it.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/letters/article6107683.ece
He’s moaning that he’s miserable? Really? This bunch of evil scumbags have been interfering with the lives of ordinary people, making them miserable for the past 12 years. Now this idiot has the nerve to whine that he’s miserable. As far as I can tell, an MP’s lifestyle is second only to that of a lottery winner. This is like hearing a lottery winner whine. You think you are miserable now you useless fat tosspot then wait until you are thrown out at the next election.
Dear Guido,
IN CONFIDENCE
This email thingy is between you and me isn’t it? You see this before it goes on your blog don’t you. So ffs don’t put it on your blog or there will be hell to pay.
Gordon and I hope you can let loose that other really big scandal soon. What you have done so far is marvellous. Another big one will completely divert the media from my budget on Wednesday. Brilliant. Thanks Mate. If you are successful Gordon says that Peerage is yours as long as you don’t let loose that information about him.
Thanks mate.
Alistair.
PS I suppose you couldn’t keep that stuff you have on me quiet too could you? I’d be very grateful. Thanks mate.
OH BUGGER. YOU’VE PUT IT ON YOUR BLOG. NOW WE’RE FUCKED!
OT, but .. Electric car plan a total disaster (already).
We fuck up. Then we fuck up again
Second post mortem on Tomlinson says he died of abdominal haemorrhage – not heart attack
Source?
Sky news
and BBC
Source? Give us a link then
No TV. Nowt immediately visible on the Beeb news site
Which is better:
Hang the policeman that shoved him
Stick together and say we were following orders
There’s only one way to find out
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
current Nulabeeb story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8004222.stm
“Second post mortem on Tomlinson says he died of abdominal haemorrhage – not heart attack”
I would hazard a guess that being pushed over when your hands are in your pockets by a member of the Military Wing of Neo Labour can do that to you.
Guido – a word with the pathologist who conducted the first post mortem may yield further insights into the working of NuLab and the Stazi
Difficult for a professional to confuse a heart attack with a bleed I would have thought
Do hope this makes headlines tomorrow. I also hope details of the first report are made public and compared with the second and an “independent” pathologist can analyse the differences.
Labour are a bit busy at the moment – whispering campaign from “Whitehall sources” saying the whistleblower had a Startrek password on his computer and was a “laughing stock”. Hounding this young man the way they did “Walter Mitty” Dr. Kelly. What a bunch of scum and lowlifes – I wish truly evil things for them all.
Difficult ? Not if you’ve got Macpoison writing the report.
I’m sickened by the obvious political interference in the first Tomlinson post-mortem.
You are right that a professional would not automatically give the cause of death in this case as ‘Heart Attack’, but would investigate other possible causes
Most people from middle age onwards show signs of coronary arterio-sclerosis at post mortem, (read any number of air-accident reports, which always consider the medical condition of pilots immediately prior to an accident – they almost always discount these signs as evidence of a heart attack in flight).
Most disturbing is the withholding of this information for a week, and the pressure applied to his grieving family to keep quiet
The State above the Individual, in death, can surely only be justified where national security is an issue
I don’t know how to link to my TV. I’m not a technocrat you know otherwise I’d be at that conference today.
Derek needs more unbiased reviews of his book – get along and let the world know about his talents:

I’ve just read the first seven pages or so (yawn). Easy to see why Dolly felt the need to write it – he’s just written about all his own experiences under the guise of a dodgy therapy degree.
Here’s an unbiased view. It’s crap.
While my comment about Tom Watson being force-fed dog pie through a funnel probably deserved to go the way of all flesh I think it would be a crying shame if Ms Ewanme’s riposte about “Jacqui Smith’s head rolling around aimlessly on the duvet while the rest of her tries to get the teasmade to work” were lost to posterity.
Hiding out in the Sandwell Valley Tommy W licked his wounds and wondered who was next.
What’s on next!
Twats on next…. surely?
Hi it’s JOHN Watson here again!
I’m sorry to trouble you all (again) but I keep getting called by this Mr G Brown (how he found out my mobile no I don’t know) who says I’m giving a presentation on ‘Digital Interactivity’ whatever
He’s asked his friend Tom Watson to email me – but I’m told his PC is switched OFF and he’s got his fingers and legs crossed until Sunday morning’s Andrew Marr TV show – whatever that means!
Can anybody who knows what’s going on let me know as I’ve got a Bovine Testicular Assessment to perform on a very sick old cow?
??testicles on a cow??

But there is no doubt that Yvette, also a total moo, has Testiculars and that’s no balls.
The “Propah Bloggah” popped ’round my gaff, ate my dinner, farted, and pulled a face…always miserable when food stuffs are in short supply.
“On 21 December 2008, a row erupted when Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick accused the Conservative Party of trying to undermine his investigation and of endangering the safety of his family by publishing details of his home in the Mail on Sunday: “The Tory machinery and their press friends are mobilised against this investigation. I think it is a very spiteful act, possibly to intimidate me away from investigating Mr Green, and I feel it has put my family at risk.” The Conservative Party stated that it had “played no part whatsoever in the publication of this story”,
Yes. I agree with Cameron. Let’s get away from this government culture of leaks and spin
Why stop the story there?. Why not go forward a bit to where Bob Quick apologised for his accusation….
“I have now reflected on the comments I made yesterday at a difficult time for me and my family. I wish to make clear that it was not my intention to make any allegations, and retract my comments”.
Perhaps you’re not so intent on avoiding spin but then I think we all know that!
The difference between Tom Watson and Guido Fawkes.
One is a registered Balour Party Memeber, living in the UK, paying taxes, and fully admits that he is a laboyur man, and accoutnable to UK law.
The other being a Tory planted stooge, who is nicely hidden offshore, so he can’t be sued, or linked to the tory party, who leak him his stories.
Guido Fawkes Blog = blue blooded red rag
Mikey.
I don’t know whether you’ve been commenting long but, believe me, you’ll get fed up with posting bollocks.
The Inquisitor. Ambrose Silk and lately Harman_Pride, have all tried and given up. I suggest you do the same. You really are wasting your time.
Mikey..do fuck off..there’s a good girl!
If one is a “Balour Party Memeber”(sic) shouldn’t the other be a “Roty planted stooge”?
Lack of ability to think consistently reflected in the ill conceived comment at the end.
For what specifically can Guido be sued ? Pray tell.
Balour Party ?
Balor:
Formorian giant with evil eye. [Irish Myth.: Benét, 76]
See : Giantism
..that explains it then
I read that as ‘giant cock with an evil japs eye’
Oh and Mikey, do fuck off, I think Mandy needs you to service him again
Balor? Jungle Book I think, Mikey must have been up late reading it.
Brown/Balls/Cooper-you just couldn’t make it up!
“we don’t want to look like a right wing inbecile. Feed it to Guido. Give him a pat on the head, an apple, and tell him he may get a job with the party next year. That will keep him happy”
Love the web server.
Order order says to me “live offshore, on some island, so I can’t get sued, because I leak lies to the media”
order order.com = I live offshore, in a country I can’t be sued in, and this is the only worldwide server I can get. Meaning I can whore myself to the Tory party, and leak their sleaze for them, in the hope they will pat me on the head, and tell me what a good boy I am.
Haha
Any link between the launching of a subsidiary of Clydesdale Bank in Guernsey and Gordon Brown’s business breakfast yesterday?
Or the £50bn Jersey-based Northern Rock Trust which was left out of the NR nationalisation legislation? As of February that trust stood at about £33bn, which means collections by Northern Rock since nationalisation are passing to a tax haven.
Ha Ha
It’s all here:

Is Dolly Draper a doppelganger for GMTV Producer Martin Frizzell (Phillips) ?
I had the unfortunate pleasure of working at GMTV when frizzle was a local reporter, he was an absolute arsewipe, treated everyone on the crew with contempt. One night, I loaded a water pistol with brake fluid and did a drive by on his car, it was the least I could do.
To all those ZaNuLabour creeps who think that Guido is at the beck and call of the Tories; Guido attacked Caroline Spelman over her expenses.
Long may Guido continue his work of exposing the stupidity and duplicity of our dear leaders!
If you haven’t read Mr Fawkes’ piece in The Spectator – I highly recommend it. Great background on how the story developed..
I’m looking forward to the sequel – hopefully this weekend.
:shock:
You think Tom Watson’s electorate will get rid of him for us? I think they need a push. Which constituency is that and what is his attitude to say, speed humps, Job Centres, immigration, hospital waiting lists, young unemployed, banks, and ooh, how about the Wars overseas?
Sue Doughty, See link to West Bromwich East election results:
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/hoc/constituency/0,,-1418,00.html
Watson’s constituency is one of those where a monkey with a red rosette would be elected!
The only way for the country to be rid of Labour MPs in safe Labour seats is if their own constituency party kicks them out in disgust – which is pretty dam unlikely!
If it’s not 88p bath plugs, it’s a bit of Amazon commission, click on Guido’s link to Watson’s blog, click on his recommended reading and up in the browser adddress bar is Watson’s Amazon Affiliate account, buy the book, Watson collects!
These MPs honestly, aything for a buck!
Tom you idiotic, spineless cretin! Wake up! You’re totally fucked!
I’m glad you had a miserable time you shit.
Sheesh an’ help ma boab Guido, youse English only jus waking up tae Labour’s normal modus operandi?
Since May 2007 when the Scot’s gave Labour a kick in the bahookie and let Wee Eck have a shot at runnin’ Scotland we have had the following smears on the idea of an autonomous Scotland:
Scotland is too poor, too wee, our politicians are too stupid (well Gordon Brown proves that one right!), all the lights would go out (actually Northern Ireland and Northern England’s lights would go out), oil will run out in 10 years (actually at current rates of extraction the industry reckons 100 years with out exploiting the fields off the Western Isles), there is no real tax benefit from oil (no Gordon only about £15 million a day from the Scottish sector), England keeps Scotland in pocket money (no Scotland is a net contributor to the exchequer), there will be barbed wire on the border, Scottish markets in England would suffer (25% of all beef and lamb marked UK produce Tesco, alone, sells comes from Scotland, not including the bespoke ‘Scotch Beef’ market)….. I could go on …. but ask yourselves: if Scotland is such a basket case, why do the Tories and Labour want to hold on to us?
My theory is they need the oil revenues to finance all the hidden debt in PFI / PPP; for example maybe people should be asking why £5.2 billion of Scottish public works is actually going to cost the Scottish taxpayer £30 billion under Gordon’s cunning PFI plan. If that is the cost to Scottish taxpayers what is the real bill for England and Wales?
The real question is why have all the supine national broadsheets and broadcasters not opened up this misuse of UK taxpayers money, where is Peston on this after his back sliding on the bank debacle?
Does anybody know if Jackboots bought the 88p plug before or after the cut in VAT. If the latter she would have saved us 2p off the £90bn PSBR to be announced next week. She should therefore be commended to the house.
Oo get ‘er! – listen to Hislop slagging off blogs on Newsnight
Guido…please put this Hoon out of his misery….the suspense is killing me!
Newsnight…Portaloo, Hislop, that grating Newsnight woman called Kirsty – aren’t they all – and presenter and Clemency Burton-Hill, whose name flashes up as ‘journalist’ when she first speaks. Move on a few minutes later to Simon Bolivar and Sound Venezuela. Burton-Hill then reveals she has played violin since a toddler 25 years ago. Up flashes the credit immediately: ‘Clemency Burton-Hill, violinist and musician’. Maybe you had to be there.
