Labourgraph Doing Downing Street’s Dirty Work Again
Fantastic profile of yours truly in the Telegraph which, as hatchet jobs, go is a pretty good example of its kind. Love the way they go on repeatedly about Guido’s “criminality”, which amounts to being arrested drunk four times in forty years, a crime which most Fridays Guido usually gets away with. The criticism for having an offshore tax-haven based publisher for this blog is ironic when the Telegraph is published by the Barclay Brothers, who are of course based in the tax-haven of Sark.
So to the rebuttal:
Guido has fond recollections of his Acid House raving days. If you are not going to dress up in psychedelic pajamas, take hallucinogenic drugs and dance all night in your youth, when are you going to do it? Guido wrote two decades ago about his adventures in Acid House here.
It is true that Guido worked for David Hart and the Committee for a Free Britain in his twenties. That is not a new revelation. For those that don’t know, David Hart helped smash Scargill’s thugs, we countered Marxist subversion and exposed Soviet support for the NUM. We helped dissidents behind the Iron Curtain, tangling many, many times with the KGB, we provided support to freedom fighters in their armed struggles against Marxist tyranny from Nicaragua to Angola. We were free agents in the Cold War. David Hart did more for the cause of freedom than you can imagine. Guido is intensely proud of his small part in that struggle.
The article did some pretty comprehensive digging, the journalist seemed very pleased that he had got hold of copies of both Guido’s birth and marriage certificates.
For some reason he skips over the two years spent working for a human rights organisation and the decade slaving as an investment banker. That probably didn’t fit the poison portrait required of a louche and unsavoury character. Louche, living fast and high, running with the bulls in Pamplona – they don’t know the half of it.
As for Guido’s finances, everyone will tell you it is hard to make your first million, nobody tells you how easy it is to lose it all. Having been a millionaire and a bankrupt in the space of four years, a personal boom to bust journey if you like, Guido is now somewhere in between. Despite all their digging they found no shadowy Dr Evil character funding this blog. They reckon the blog sells £15,000 of adverts a year. A very low figure pulled presumably out of thin air. Either they don’t understand the economics of online publishing – quite possible given the Telegraph has lost millions online – or they are just trying to imply Guido must have another source of funds. They also say that Guido hawked the emails around for £20,000. Notice they don’t actually say Guido sold them, because that would be a demonstrable lie. The fact is that Guido turned down money offers and gave the emails to the BBC, News of the World and Sunday Times for free. Nada. Zilch. Zippo. Nowt. For absolutely nothing but the pleasure of seeing Damian McBride and Derek Draper removed from politics. Call it a public service.
The usual McBridesque tactic of bringing the family into it and the “we know where you live” menacing give away the real agenda here. The Telegraph has done Downing Street’s bidding all this past week from running a spoiler to this hatchet job. It is the only paper taking an aggressive anti-Guido line. Shame on them, because Guido is ashamed of nothing.
UPDATE 0930 : They are not letting reader comments through. Wonder why?
UPDATE 10.00 : Should say that there are still some great writers left on the Telegraph including Hannan, Randall (left and is now an occasional contributor after his copy was spiked after he wrote unflattering stuff about the Barclay brother’s lenders), Halligan and Heffer (who, very decently, made inquiries on Guido’s behalf yesterday).
What wankers! Why are they doing Gord’s bidding? Can’t they see he his on his way out?
Yes, I thought they would be schmoozing up to Dave at this point. Guido has sure shone a powerful light into some very dark corners. We owe him a debt.
Why do they have to inform us of your wife’s name and property portfolio? They missed out where your girls go to nursery school.
You are a bloody hero Guido and they are just jealous. I am sure that it wasn’t the intention but the article makes you sound quite exciting.
What ever happened to your first husband?
I thought mentioning Guido’s wife’s name was very off.
“You are a bloody hero Guido ”
Seconded
Mrs Cronin of Co Wicklow writes:
“He isn’t a ‘bloody hero’. He’s a very naughty boy”
Simply tell them to fuck off Guido. Oh, you just did.
I am going to buy a copy of the Telegraph today, wipe my arse on it and send it back to the editor. We all have our bit to do.
You could do what OH suggests but you might find it easier to leave a comment on the Telegraph here (I have):
Telegraph blog
You will have to register but it’s probably easier than walking down to the newsagents, buying the Telegraph, having a shit, wiping your arse with said rag and posting the results to the editor.
I gave up on the Maily Triviagraph, tired of its pro-NuLiebour puff pieces, endless ‘lifestyle’ pages and countless ’surveys’ masquerading as news. This once great newspaper is now a shadow of its former glory. I will be sorry to see it go – as it surely will before long – but it is richly deserved. Problem is, there is no good centre-right paper any more. Will just have to make do with this interweb thingy…
Swiss Bob
Well done for getting a comment published!. They’ve never posted any comments from me – guess they like the game plan of life being controlled by a piss pot despot.
Could back fire on them, when today’s youngsters realise that once upon a time young people could smile, have fun, and enjoy the freedom of exploring their way in the world.
Haven’t we all?.
lMHO those that are doing their Master’s bidding, will end up being flushed down into the sewer with the old knut!
Brown – your time is up!!!
I posted a message on that trashy article’s page, but surprise! It wasn’t published.
I believe they have a list of IP addresses which they disallow. For years, the DT published least 5 of my postings per day, but two or three months ago, they stopped publishing any of my messages. Not one has been published since, regardless of content.
S*d ‘em.
The DT has shot itself in the foot with this McBride / Guido thing. It has backfired and they will be hemorrhaging readers.
Hey, Barstewards,
That exactly mirrors my experience. It seems that the crime is to criticise the editor’s “babes”. To whit, Mary Riddell and Bryony Gordon. The former a raving left-wing idiot with her nose so far up Gordon’s arse that she can’t have seen daylight for a while, and the latter is a total airhead.
I’ve posted and reposted on this article, but I doubt it will be published.
Don’t do that OH, you’ll wipe more on than off.
I have now posted my comment 4 times, and still it isn’t there. Curiously, at one point there were 64 comments, then it went down to 53 for a few hours, now it’s up to 54. Mine, which still hasn’t been published, is as follows:
“I haven’t had a comment published by this site for so long, I doubt this one will be. I too have become despairing about the direction this paper has taken over the last year or so. Weekly we are assaulted by left-wing gibberish from Mary Riddell, and air-head drivel from Bryony Gordon.
Pro-Brown tone, as exemplified by this article. is now overt rather than covert.
I used to contribute daily to these comments, and now I just don’t bother because I seem to be permanently censored. I’m doing this, though, to add my voice to those who have said they will henceforth stop buying the ‘dead tree’ version of this paper. After nearly 40 years, I’ve had it.

“What wankers! Why are they doing Gord’s bidding? Can’t they see he his on his way out?”
You assume that the Barclay Brothers are normal, rational human beings. I’d have thought there was an abundance of evidence that this is far from the case.
They are Scottish-need I say more??
The Barclay Bros are far from normal.Scottish inbreds would be nearer the mark.They rule Sark and the people like a malevolent medieval barons.
The locals had a disagreement with the inbreds so what did the Braclays do they closed down all the local businesses on Sark.
They are shits of the highest order and Scottish as well-what do you expect.
Closed down all the local businesses on Sark! That’s nothing – Fat Gordo is doing it all over the UK!
The Barclay Brothers are as Scottish as Rod Stewart, i.e. not very. The fact that their parents were Scottish, saw the light, and left, doesn’t make their ten offspring Scots [wonder how well the other eight made out?]. They acquired their dubious skills in London doing property deals like many other disreputables.
From what I hear about the Barclays Brothers in connection with Sark & Guernsey (I’ve got friends in Guernsey) they are pretty well hated there. For those who don’t know, they bought/leased an island off Guernsey -where the public are not allowed to go – natch, they’re NuLabour supporters after all – and built themselves a castle. Nouveau riche or what?
It is also a case of protection for the Barclay Brothers. They say to the Government “do not mess with our money making, and we will ensure the Telegraph sings a pro Labour story“.
All is corruption and deceit.
If this is true, I hope the Telegraph is destroyed.

——————–
I too have had this same experience – always used to be printed but now nothing regardless of content. I actually blog often on My Telegraph, which I laud as a bastion of free speech as many extreme and offensive views are tolerated. This made me even more surprised by the claims in Rayners article stating “He has also, however, been criticised for the tone of some of the material which he has allowed to be published on his blog” I could show you some much more offensive items on My Telegraph. Free speech is necessary for open debate, however offensive.
You could always stand as an independant Guido.
Wouldn’t that scare seven shades of shite out of the 646 bastards?
Farenheit 646. Now there’s a thought.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Until today I had no idea the Telegraph was still in business.
I have taken out a subscription.
{Its always a good idea to have the last ever edition of something in the loft. The papers bound to be wound up soon and it gives something for grandchildren to take onto crap in the attic}
Yes the choice of seat would be interesting – How about Harriet Hardman.
What about sponsoring / supporting several Guido Fawkes candidates to stand against all the top New Labour Ministers. Get rid of the rotten core.
Get together with Littlejohn and form a party.
They don’t like it up them …..
…. they can try and slur Guido but it’s all too transparent and they’re just digging a deeper hole for themselves…..
What the hell is the Daily Telegraph playing at?
They are stupid: http://scarymarytory.blogspot.com/2009/04/guido-slurs.html
Well done the wankers at the Telegraph, just as we get a man and a site that tells it like it is and who the politicos are shitting themselves about you ass wipes try to do a job on him.
Then you bunch of out of touch thick as pig shit hacks bringing in his wife and daughters into the article, just sums up what a bunch of useless wankers you are, just like your corrupt politico bum chums. You wankers are no better than the dog shit in the Labour party and the rest that inhabit all of the houses of parliament.
Viva viva viva GUIDO!!!
You bunch of out of touch thick as pig shit hacks, are so out of touch you are not even yesterday’s people you are way last century.
If you bunch of out of touch thick as pig shit hacks, had the balls (even the female types) to expose the wankers that run this country and the wankers who administer the so called laws of this country then this country would not be in the fucked up state it is in now.
However, no doubt as long as you cling on to your part of the establishment and you are getting your wages, the odd freebee and your lunches paid, why would you want to rock the boat too much.
You bunch of out of touch thick as pig shit hacks are just another part of the decay that is the UK at the moment.
You bunch of out of touch thick as pig shit hacks are neither relevant nor required for the reporting on our shite politicos. I guess it is this that you hate most, how irrelevant and how unimportant you bunch of out of touch thick as pig shit hacks have become.
Don’t worry come the revolution there will be spaces kept beside the politico shite for wanker hack shite at the gallows.
Slightly (completely?) OT but Damian Green’s very neat and economical torpedoing of Jacquie Smith with the Chakrabarti story surely deserves a mention??
Don’t knock the Torygraph. It has a crossword that even I can usually complete.
Answers to today’s crossword had me stumped for a while:
1 across. Gordon Brown is a WINKER.
12 down. A front bottom is known as a HOON.
3 down. Slang for manual relief is a TIMNEY
14 across is MISCONDUCT IN PUBLIC OFFICE
I have just read your blog this morning prior to having my usual shit. I have sent out for a copy of the Daily Labourgraph (Sark edition) in order to be able to wipe my arse on this over priced bog roll.
Whelan seems very slow in calling the police to investigate the alleged hacking into his computer.
Whelan does not appear to realise that viruses can spread one’s email to unintended recipients. You can often pick up these viruses by visiting porn websites, apparently.
Is the delay because he is having to delete embarrasing stuff from his computer first?
Would this ’stuff’ involve Whelan, 3 boy scouts, 5 metres of hosepipe, a snorkel, a bicycle pump, a donkey and a jaccuzzi full of whipped cream?
Just speculation, that’s all… I’m not one to smear, that’s the domain of lowlifes like Whelan.
You missed out the flying helmet, the wet celery and the portrait of the Madonna with the big boobies.
Leave him alone.
Charles has just returned from a nice weekend fishing and is trying to relax.
It is my duty to report that somebody has broken into several pairs of his underpants and smeared the gusset with a brown substance. Not sure if it was the Tories or not as he said something about trots.
I am still considering whether to report the matter to the Police or ask that nice Mr Brown to appoint a senior jusdge to do my whites wash.
It was two boy scouts and you forgot the whippet.
Perhaps the Police should just go in a take it off him. Jacqui Smith need not “know” anything about it (in advance.)
Also, merely deleting stuff does not render it invisible to techie cops who know what they are about.
What is the Daily Telegraph coming to? A Lickspittle to a Hoon? They don’t like it up ‘em!
Time to trash the Telegraph.
Time to trash them all. I appreciate it’s difficult – kind of programmed to pick up a paper when you’re near them but fight it, fight the urge. Fuck em all.
You were National Gaming champ? Mario carts – best game ever, have kinda given up since then – genuinely believe that it can’t get better. Ah, respect.
Humberside college on Cottingham Road? I spent many a brilliant afternoon in the Mainbrace on ‘Bevvly ‘igh road’. Best 3 years of my life.
Dick – I think you’ll find it was “Bev Rurd” in the local vernacular. Preferred The Gardeners myself.
And Lexington Avenue – fuck a duck, far too much neon.
Well, well, got rat-arsed in the Brainmace and the Gardeners when there.
Is Nellies still magic in Beverley?
Nellies is still there, think the Wellie Club has gone though.
The Telegraph hasn’t been a Tory paper for about five years. What do you expect?
Still occasionally get calls from the folk at the Spectator.
Stopped subscribing to the Spectator and stopped buying the Telegraph about a decade ago. Got better things to be doing with my time.
Typical liebour tactics,
You must have really stirred up the wasps nest.
Now nail the rest of this trechourous goverment.
Beware though dont forget they have no morals and if i was you i wouldn’t go walking near the woods like DR Kelly (RIP)
Election Now
I left a comment there late last night.
I asked whether it was Whelan, McBride or Watson who delivered the story to them and did Brown know about this latest smear. Strange, they haven’t published it.
The article seems to have been pulled.
I too left a comment last night (after I had staggered back from the pub) to the effect that this Guido chappie sounds like a “Top Bloke”.
I suspect that they have been overwhelmed by negative comments to the article and are loathe to publish them.
The article’s still there though – just moved down a slot or two.
Cheers!
Shame on you Guido, you crashed their comfy little party, drunk too much fizzy pop made fun of the host, pinched a pretty girls bum, and missed the toilet seat by a mile.
Have you ever though of being an MP or indeed a Journalist, you seem to posses all the qualities so often found with these rough trades.
Guido’s link doesn’t work but the article is still there
Fixed.
take the comma off at the end of the link.
Link ok now
Just left a comment as well. Still only 3 comments showing. Perhaps the mod couldn’t start the car this morning?
Interesting chronology on the remarks about this idiot’s article on the Tegrelaugh. I too posted one earlier when there were three, all timed up to 8.51 am. Then they stop until about 10.28, when they flood in one after t’other.
No doubt there’s been a high level conference about censoring them, or perhaps a late champagne breakfast to celebrate this journalistic “coup”-hence the hiatus.
I hope my comment appears on their ragsite soon, but I have my doubts.
What the hell is going on with the Telegraph? They seem to have been taken over by the deeply stupid. It is very depressing that the media in this country are a bunch of right on hemp wearing bleeding heart labour lovies. I am sick of being told that if I want morals I have to vote labour when the Labour party have the morals of a crack pushing pimp
when the Labour party have the morals of a crack pushing pimp
I say, steady on old Bean! We’re not that bad; at least we provide a service that some people actually want.
Services some people actually want !? counting pram wheels?, providing thought police to inspect the contents of our refigerators?, expensive road calming measures on country lanes (but then of course labour never travel down country lanes do they? so they wouldn’t know that country lanes don’t carry much traffic) , milllion dollar campaign to tell us how to wash our hands properly? (but then its all taxpayers money so what does it matter?). I could go on but it would spoil my breakfast -
“What the hell is going on with the Telegraph? They seem to have been taken over by the deeply stupid.”
Thats a very tame description of the secretive bullying less than savoury Barclay brothers
I think that they are off their collective loaf!
Have you done any more NDA’s for the Labourgraph to snitch on this weekend, Guido?
The Telegraph went downhill very rapidly with the last change of editor several months ago. Since then comments have been severely censored and more and more articles seem to be pro ZaNuLab. Remarkably stupid position for a paper to take given the falling sales in the dead tree press.
Indeed, and i left a comment on the aricle, about it being a hatchet job, directed by the same sleazy lobbyists who Guido showed up with his posts. This shows just how you are getting to the establishment Guido, that they now actually think you are a target worthy of smearing.Fuck em, i say just keep on exposing the hypocisy of the fourth estate and the utter emptiness at the centre of the NuLabour project.
No us using the telegraph as bog paper. The print would leave smears over your arse.
What a crap rag it is.
I heard that Rosa Prince has a hot line to Mary Anne Sieghart and that one of their reporters got bitch slapped by Baldwin for pocketing some of his nose candy….
Before they fisk Guido we should be told that they are whiter than white.
It’s a battle that the Telegraph are going to lose. Sour grapes? Given that they’re even giving oxygen to Whelan’s rather pathetic ramblings is it any wonder that they’ve lost all credibility. Has anyone FOI’d Lewis and his visits to Chequers?
The article has been edited (based on it having a different URL ID) and so your link no longer works Guido.
Can anyone spot the differences?
Guido , whatever you did or didnt do in your past is of no relevance as you are not an elected representitive of the people, you are not a member of this government nor paid out of the public purse and you are certainly not the Prime minister nor a member of his cabinet.
I do not care if you were once caught in a compromising situation with a couple of goats it is not you who has brought this country to the brink of bankruptcy.
More smoke and mirrors from a discredited and dying administration .
I have a feeling the Hellygraph are about to witness a large fall in their readership.
Spot on.
Good point, well made.
Hmmm. According to Wikipedia The Telegraph circulation is 908,000, The Times 656,000.
With the events of this week I’ve done my bit to ensure it changes to 907,999 and 656,001 respectively.
The figures now are 907,998 and 656,002.
Here Here!
Dear Mrs Whelan,
Did you check his lunch box as well? Did he eat the sandwiches you prepared for him or were they untouched?
Yours,
DM
I would imagine there are some very jealous mainstream hacks loitering around – envious of your scoop. I’m disappointed in the Torygraph…Atleast The Times were brave enough to publish your well founded views on how our media has been a puppet of this Labour government now for ten years or more. They, (the BBC in particular are completely biased when it comes to political news) I ignore their reporting now – apart from the Daily Politcs!
We need more blogs like yours to expose the truth behind mainstream establishments…
Well they know what to do, there is plenty of Info out there about the NWO, the treason behind the EU, the purpose behing immigration being to eradicate the Nation state, they have the opprtunity, do they have the Balls.
Very well said, sir
Guido you have no shame.
Big fish, little fish,Cardboard box.
Call that dancing?
The last ten minute groin grind at the ‘Cats whiskers’ now thats dancing.
Did you perhaps meet any Government ministers down the “Cats whiskers” and if so do you have any photographs ?
Yes shame on you. How dare you a self employed free thinking man have the audacity to experiment with drugs and get off your rocker every weekend. How can you look yourself in the mirror knowing that you are personally responsible for the death of so many glow sticks. The rise and fall of sales in whistles (on that thought alone it might have been worth while investing a few quid in them as I get the feeling that whistle blowing may actually be on the rise again) that can viewed in historical stock charts sees a definitive link between your self proclaimed raving days.
How anti government you have been surrounding yourself with gentile and loving folk hell bent on creating a new utopia.
I mean I am so angry with myself for wasting 5 years of my life only for my hangover to begin when I realised that the real world was a much shittier place full of arseholes who lie cheat and steel. How I loathe myself for having had faith in society.
Found the article, Guido your link is shit.
As they didn’t print my comment from last night I left them another:
I see you haven’t published my comment. No surprise there.
I read and bought your paper for years, never again, you’re pathetic these days, run by socialists and printing Govt press releases and spin from slime like Whelan, Watson and McBride as news.
Shame on you.
The Spectator is also in the process of being ruined. The comment moderation there has gone all ‘political’.
Barclay Brothers, what a pair of arseholes.
Read the comments in the online version, talk about shooting yourself in the foot. The Mentelgraph is now the paper for the Prime Mentalist. Why would you back a loser in these trying times?
Previous bandwagons backed by the smellygraph include
Betamax video recorders
The Sinclair C5
Zeig Zeig Sputnick
Chris Moyles TV Career

That ITV Saturday Evening football programme u know the one I mean
The Telegraph obviously had no topical and newsworthy items to fill its pages with today, so has had to resort to printing the sort of inane rubbish we see in the tabloids. I had thought better of them – until I read your article above.
Keep up the good work Guido – we need journalists like you to tell us what’s really going on.
With a few notable exceptions (Randall, Heffer, Halligan) the Telegraph has gone markedly down hill since the Bobsey twins took over. Riddell’s inane witterings are nearly as bad as Toilets Maguire
Their behaviour over this has been reprehensible.
Can anyone tell me why Randall, Heffer (and maybe one or or two others) still write for the Telecrap ? They must be the only ones keeping it afloat.
They are probably on big fat contracts!
This was my reply to their article – don’t know if they’ll print it!
I see the DT is seeking revenge for the fact that they too found themselves on the receiving end of Guido’s ire. The important point to remember is that it’s the blogs not the people that are important.
Because of this government’s determination to control the media and prevent the free flow of information, a blackmarket in truth has been created (think prohibition in the States).
If you guys in the press wrote half as truthfully about the government as Gordon Raynor (chief reporter!!!)does in this article the blogs wouldn’t be needed.
If the governemnt of the day were to be reasonably honest in its management of ‘the story’ the blogs wouldn’t be needed.
I’ve been reading the DT seven days a week for 37 years and I (although no expert) can tell that many of your feature writers are part of the present problem.
The solution lies in your own hands – don’t spin the government line, it has to have publicity and it has to get it’s story out. It isn’t the real power that you all seem to think – it needs you reporters a lot more than you need it. If you report the truth and not the spin it will set us all free from the worst, darkest govrenment this Country has ever known.
I’m sure that as usual you’ll be exercising editorial control over this comment!
But the problem is that the ‘government’ controls the truth until it is (all too rarely) exposed by people such as Guido. By the time the truth comes out, it generally has little effect on turning the spin that the ‘government’ put on it originally.
That is why Guido’s (surgical glove protected) fisting of McPoison is so delicious.
Keep it up, you Fenian get, get them all!
Please!
“But the problem is that the ‘government’ controls the truth…..”
Sorry to disillusion, but they wouldn’t know the truth even if it smacked them in the mouth!
I am happy to stand corrected on this occasion!
a set of dog ears round ‘truth’ does the trick.
Like Charlie boy, I’ve left a comment on the DT in response to Chief Reporter Gordon Rayner’s attempted hatchet job on Guido. I doubt it will make it on to the DT web site, but I imagine they have been inundated. I’ll not be buying the DT in future:
“The real reason for this dreadful attack on Guido is because reporters like Gordon Rayner are being left in the wake of the Internet blogs, which reveal the TRUTH and not Downing Street press releases, all so eagerly swallowed without question by MSM press hacks like the “Chief Reporter” for the Telegraph.
In today’s Telegraph, Rosa Prince, the left-wing hack recruited from the Daily Mirror repeats the rubbish written by Charlie Whelan about his Hotmail account being hacked. It is pathetic, just like this article by Rayner.
I am a long-time subscriber to the Daily Telegraph. I get the newspaper at a reduced price by paying up front and receiving tokens. When the last token runs out, I shall not renew my subscription and instead I shall buy the Times.
The only place for the Daily Telegraph now is the lavatory, neatly cut into squares where it can be re-cycled.
It is the right thing to do for a paper that prints total crap.”
Who is this RAYNER bloke..?? never ‘eard of ‘im..
send ‘im orff..
There can be some reasonable articles in the Telegraph as the following:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/5165967/In-Mrs-Thatchers-time-a-civil-servant-was-not-political.html
Whereas the Times has been turned… witness Matthew Parris’ apology for being soft and attack on Brown combined:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/matthew_parris/article6115437.ece
“I have been complicit in the propagation of an inaccuracy about Gordon Brown. I have spoken (like other media colleagues) of the “good Gordon, bad Gordon” syndrome. Other commentary has quoted the “when she was good she was very, very good/And when she was bad” comparison. It’s an elegant way in to any discussion of what’s wrong with the Prime Minister. Trouble is, it’s only half right. There isn’t a good Gordon. He’s useless. His behaviour is horrid.”
Ouch!
Parris is excellent – comes across as a thoroughly decent and humane individual. It is a shame he left politics although I suspect my first sentence has the clue as to why.
The stance being taken by the Times is interesting – we had the effort from Alice Miles earlier in the week, Guido’s piece and now this one (although to be fair Parris has consistently taken an anti Blair /Brown line).
To me it looks like Murdoch has decided Brown can’t win and is looking to put the boot into him big time.
Do you think Andrew Marr will come out expressing similar views?
and on radio5 yesterday too
As he says, the attack dogs have been muzzled
The ditherer needs to discover another policy quickly or he is completely defenceless
Another example of the “culture” that Brown operates in, and thus he’s a “one trick pony”
Do you think Toenails will come back from his Hols with an expose on what Mandleson was doing on that yacht ?
That’s an awesome article. Guido, could you link to it?
I want to have Matthew Parris’s babies.
Don’t worry about the telegraph article Guido – and tell the missus to stand firm too, she’s in the middle of a revolution, things are bound to get dirty. We all have a *duty* to fight these bastards, but especially those of us with children; if we won’t fight for their future, what will we fight for?
BOORAH!
Well said, Frank Fisher. The tide has turned, thanks to Guido. It seems that truth is popular.
Well done Guido. You can hold your head high.
These lefties journalists just can’t understand what’s gone wrong for them.
It’s because they are Post modernist and believe the “truth is relative”…
With that attitude no wonder they are crap at journalism.
Comment left at the Labourgraph, expressing congratulations on their attempted smear…breath not being held re publication.
For some reason (?) comments are very slow getting added to the Telegraph article. I guess there is only so much criticism a “free” press can cope with. Sadly in this coutry the only free press seems to be the Admag. All the others are lazy pushers of their masters own agenda.
Any must back to the sofa to present another hard hitting feature on pointless crap.
just read that back – you can tell its early
It’s what you are doing now that counts Guido. So you’ve had colourful past, so what?
They are just getting worried about their troughing jobs, and I suppose there’s a more than bit of envy thrown in for good measure too. According to Blue Sky this morning the dead tree industry is on its uppers anyway.
As far as I am concerned you are providing a public service. We can all let off a bit of steam, have a bit of banter and a dammed good chuckle as well.
The fact that along the way you skewer a few pigs and chuck ‘em on the grill is a bloody good bonus.
Keep it up old chap but sleep with one eye open.
My thoughts exactly
If you are embarrassed by your past then you are in the wrong job.
I would say make the most of the notoriety because they can’t touch you
I did notice that there was nothing about the Labour party exposing your identity
I think all the articles prove is that you have put the wind up both their reporters and the Tory party. Hopefully an end to the cosy Westminster Bubble that has been inflated under the 12 year tenure of Bliar and Brown.
There isnt one single person who didnt do stupid things when younger. I drunk tons and tons (never drugs being in the navy and they never interested me) and tons. Went back to sea to sober up! However, now a 40-something yr old responsible father of 2 girls, mortgage, job etc etc.
ps…I still like a real ale, whisky and red wine (but dont tell Labour as they will come and get me!)
Guido, please form a party with Littlejohn and other non-Labour conformists.
Well then thats the Telegraph subscription cancelled, shame about that but when the publishers make or appear to have made a pact with the labour devil what can one do.
Buy a copy wipe your bottie on it and SEND IT BACK TO THE EDITOR ;-)
Just had a look at this guys profile
http://www.journalisted.com/gordon-rayner?allarticles=yes
He seems to have CONCENTRATED on the following types of stories in fact he seems a bit of an expoert on PAEDOS, PROSTITUTES and STALKERS?
* Madeleine McCann paedophile case
* The Ipswich Prostitiute Stranglers
* Jersey Paedophile Care home
* Duke of Westminister Escort Agency
* Diana sordid Love Life
* Jill Dando Stalker
Private Eye has a large file of dirt on Rayner. He worked for years for the Daily Mail see Street of Shame
Instead of a negative profile of our modern day hero, Guido, the Daily T’G should be doing a Michael Crick ‘Stranger than Fiction’ investigation into Derek Draper.
GUIDO – are you going to reveal just what went on in the Wright Institute ? Have you managed to track down any fellow students who can reveal more about Draper’s antics in California? If he wasnt really studying and got thrown out then what was he doing there for 3 years????
And where DID he get that elusive Masters Degree from. I don’t think we’ve been told yet
What was he doing for three years ?
1. Lying
2. Cheating
3. Something absolutely totally brilliant
Answers on a postcard please to Guido.
Here’s a link to the Wright Institute’s MA Programme: http://masters.wi.edu/
Our new master’s program is designed for students who want a high-quality graduate education and prefer to attend classes on WEEKENDS ONLY.
Whether you are already employed—in or out of a human service setting—or just beginning to re-enter the job market, our program will provide the necessary educational background and pre-graduate supervised experience for you to become a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT) in California.
If the MA is for weekends only then what was Derek Draper doing during the week???
If the MA allows you to practice in California does it allow you to practice anywhere else?
Oi!
One Gunpowder Plot conspirator on here is already one too many!!
How journalism works, eh. I just wonder how many criminal acts and data protection breaches were committed in order to get that information.
Anyway, that’s it for me. I’ve been a Telegraph reader for 45 years and a subscriber for 15 but have grown increasingly disenchanted since Tweedledee & Tweedledum took over. I’m shipping out.
I began taking the Telegraph in ‘87 during the Libyan incursion in Chad, and bought it every day until about 2 years ago.
I dont buy it, dont need it, and dont use the website.
Guido should stop dealing with this paper and stop giving the BBC access to him, it just feels he is becoming part of the mainstream.
PS – hmm, Guido – ’slaving’ away as an investment banker?
The fact that you gave the emails away doen’s meant (necessarily) that you didn’t try to sell them first – although I’m not surprised if no one would dare to buy them!
Perhaps even you, champion of the truth though you undobtedly are, are not entirely immune to the desire for a little touch of spin here and there!
PPS – no need to print this one, it’s just an aside!
If you read my articles in the Times or Speccie, all is explained.
I have been shocked at the Telegraph’s attitude in Smeargate. It was my favourite paper but no more. The economics team have come out supporting money printing and now the political team have gone ga ga for Team GB. The paper had a great 2008 but 2009 is turning into a right stinker.
Like other commenters here, I added a comment on the Telegraph article protesting the smear. Alas, like the others, my comment has not been posted. Clearly the rules of engagement are the same as those of the Mirror and Maguire, do not print any critical comments.
Guido, you are a hero, thank you for every single piece you have written.
The truth is that you have the MSM pooing itself. Ian Hyslop even took a swipe at you last night on Newsnight where Michael Portaloo evidenced he has entered the political Men, Oh Pause! Bitter hardly describes it, but their witterings were soon forgotten as I listened to the dulcet tones of the brain numbingly beautiful musical totty Clemency Burton Hill who is too nice to be discussed further in this bear pit of politics. Gidday Guido keep the pols at bay – you might even force a general election even if the Tories don’t want one.
When did Kirsty Walk get a make over as a bag lady with a scuffy top and hair?
She is launching my new fashion line.
Just went to read the Guido hatchet job and one of the top stories is about yet more Labour corruption on the ballot boxes. Glenrothes worked so they’re continuing
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/5176365/Ballot-box-tampered-with-in-safe-Labour-seat.html
Don’t forget slotgobs mother in law also accused of similar when appointed as a candidate
We need more on this. Was reading Ceefax (yes….I know!) over breakfast this morning and what was a headline appeared about 15 pages further down, cleared buried under the Prince Phil’s lifetime achievement pat on the back. How many different strands of alleged vote rigging are going to come out I wonder?
Not even Sark Brechou Their own private tax haven
They own a channel island Yes it used to be part of Sark but no longer.
And they have a castle there better than Buck House
Time someone took a little look at the Barclay sisters.
Guido, for information, I tried to post a response to the Telegraph article, and it has not been published. My sentiments were (are) that the article was solely intended as character assassination against yourself and that more is expected from a newspaper such as the Telegraph. I have a feeling that they censor quite a lot of comments from their site since this is not the first time mine have not been published.
As far as I am concerned, I think you are performing a worthwhile service and I shall continue to support you while that is the case. Best wishes.
John in cheshire – Agree wholeheartedly. But CANT find the oriinal Telegraph article, only Guido’s response. Help, please. …or has Telegraph removed it in fear.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/5173475/Guido-Fawkes-the-colourful-life-of-the-man-who-brought-down-Damian-McBride.html
Does anybody remember the GM crops/Monsanto debate on the Teletubbygraph?
The censorship was terryfying.
Have almost given up posting there.
It almost never gets posted.
Perhaps a deal has already been done between the Barclay brothers and HM Treasury over their personal tax haven?
Wonder how unblemished and boring Gordon Rayner’s career and private life have been?
I’m sure his mum keeps him in line
Then I wonder how unblemished and boring Gordon Rayner’s mum’s career and private life have been?
The Barclay’s must surely be aware of the high level of Daily Telegraph cancellations, mus’nt they?
I know a Guido with the golden touch
He’s got enough, he’s got too much
But I know, you wouldn’t mind
You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all if it mattered so much
But then all they know is how to put you down
When you’re there, your friend
But then when you’re not around
They say, ‘oh, he’s changed’
You know what they mean
Well they mean, they’re just jealous
Because they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
Whatever Guido’s background, the Brown government still has as much appeal as a rat sandwich.
Er…care for a rat?
Eee not rat… ees Hamster
Guido has a great CV. for PM. Better than Mugabrowns.
Someone tell me, please, how to find the relevant Telegraph site which has tried to defame Guido. Don’t want to actually buy the damn thing.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/5173475/Guido-Fawkes-the-colourful-life-of-the-man-who-brought-down-Damian-McBride.html
The Barclay brothers are barking.
Let’s wait for the Spun-day Telegraph to see how this develops….
In the meantime; Ms J Smith must be enjoying the fact that she is not the focus of attention this weekend – a great shame since political torture-porn is such a big hit these days.
Guido, if I was you I really wouldn’t bother answering what amounts to a pathetic childish attempt to put you in a bad light. What is it with blokes called ‘Gordon’ anyway?
Oi, some of us are pretty reasonable
Reasonable, maybe; pretty, I doubt it…
More to come?
‘Sickened’ MP Alice Mahon quits Labour
Alice Mahon, a Halifax MP for 18 years and a party member for more than 50 years, has resigned her membership of the party saying she can no longer stomach how it operates.
http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/39Sickened39-MP-quits-Labour.5182941.jp
Hardly likely to “cross the floor” though
Even Linda Smith would have been sickened by this mob.
She stood down as an MP in 2005. She was sickened by the Labour approach to the Iraq war.
Sounds like she wants a job when the next election is over
Lets see this get larger coverage in the MSM
Sounds like she knows what coming up in the Budget and doesn’t want to feel the wrath of her constituents.
Hay Guido – any sane person knows that The Labourgraph is there to do unelected Gords bidding – what a load of wankers they are – You did more good in one day by getting rid of two of Gords nasty friends than the idiots on The Labourgraph have in in a long long time – to go from a proud paper I read daily to the rag it now is must be a record! – Love ya Guido , warts and all
Nice reply Guido, I posted a critical message on the Telegraph article at 4:30am this morning. It was neither slanderous not obscene just to say how you have appeared to get up the noses of the main stream journalists. because you exposed their failure to bring to the public eye issues of public interest concerning McBride. They have refused to post it. Keep up with the good work. Your blog is the first thing I read each day. Oh yes I wouldn’t have heard of you had not Hazel Blears given you some publicity recently. I rightly assumed if she wanted you censoring then it must be a good blog.
The comments are flowing now on the telegraph. Seems they have been shamed into it.
Yep, the Dam has burst at the Telegaff !
Same old, same old…. get some minion journo to dig up as much past history as he could find and then engage in (attempted) character assassination to try and distract from the real issue. It will backfire of course. Most people here couldn’t give a toss how many drugs you took,how you are funded and don’t come here to speculate on your past misdemeanors. They are interested in the political stories that do not come out of the MSM or are looking for an alternative view of the publicly sanitised version of the story which is allowed out through the Westminster Lobby.
You have got the backs up of the political establishment Guido and they are most displeased. And the hacks simply cannot hack it. However continue to stay one step ahead and the snowball effect on public opinion will continue to send a clear message to the government and the puppet press. Through media manipulation we have been force fed a diet of spin and lies for so long now it is time some of that spectacular vomit was regurgitated back over its hosts.
BBC news page is reporting an irregularity in their ballot for a candidate in the Erith and Thamesmead constituency being run by Nulab Central office.
mmmmmmmm………. United Nations supervision of any British election now required.
I saw this and posted on biased-bbc.
‘Labour ballot box ‘tampered with”
Now maybe I’m just biased, too, but reading that as the normal dork on the street, my reaction would be that Labour’s political enemies have been at it again. Errr, the Tories?
When the revolution comes, the BBC is the first port of call. You rule the air waves, you rule information. They are simply shameful.
UN-definitely!
Our own people are NOT to be trusted!
Oh-how this ONCE mighty nation has fallen!!
“United Nations supervision of any British election now required”
…and how ironic that would be for a country that is home to the mother of all parliaments.
But liebour scum will rig the election. That’s why it introduced postal votes.
Its ethnic minority supporters have already been caught running scams in earlier elections.
The tribal leader collects the postal votes from the whole street and fills them in for Liebour on behalf of his subservient non-english speaking “family” (tribe/clan) so instead of one vote he has 110.
Watch the postal votes – demand independent scrutineers.
What the hell has this government done to the country? The snot eating nose-miner runs a fascist dictatorship and I never thought I would ever write that about the UK.
A report by investment bank Citigroup yesterday estimated that government revenues fell 3 per cent in the most recent fiscal year – the biggest drop since records began in 1946-47.
Citigroup economist Michael Saunders said Labour is guilty of a ‘major policy failure’ in the way it managed the public finances over the past decade, because it let borrowing get out of hand.
As a result, the Treasury is widely expected to warn of years of tax hikes to come in next week’s Budget as it attempts to close the black hole in its books.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1171631/Britons-pay-highest-tax-developed-world.html
That would be the same Citigroup that issues credit cards to encourage everyone to run up massive debts, right ? Pity they only told half the story.
I wonder if someone is seeking to exert pressure on Guido via his wife and her employers?
I too read the Telegraph article last night and was staggered at how unbalanced it was and how they seem to just miss the point: Guido is doing the proper journalism, not the Telegraph’s so called Chief Reporter. I just posted a comment on the Telegraph article to the effect that if he is their chief reporter, and that is the standard of their articles, then they are finished. Wonder whether it will get published: they only seem to have allowed 3 comments so far to be published! Dead tree press indeed.
Well said Guido. Fuck the Telegraph. Their attempt to trash your character is pathetic. As if your character has got anything to do with reporting the spin and bullshit perpetuated by MPs in Westminster, and it seems, the media? Be proud of your past and the decisions you have made. If the MPs in the commons took responsibility for who they are, then maybe we could get on with the business of honest government.
My goodness they make you sound like a modern day Ernest Hemingway ! I wonder if the telegraph wrote its own copy or whether Damien McBride lurking in Gordon Brown’s cellar wrote it for them.?
Well there was this time in a brothel in Havana when Guido….
Its 9:39 and no one has posted a comment on the Telegraph article since 8:51. These people are shameless.
Kate, shouldn’t you be getting your husband washed and dressed this time day?
FFS – take a look at Draper.
He looks like he doesn’t wash and doesn’t bother taking his clothes off before getting into bed.
I can’t. Someone has nicked the long pole with the sponge on the end.
Just told them I shall never buy their rag again. Hope many are doing likewise.
Is that the same David Hart who Private Eye said was a lunatic back in the 80s and 90s?
To be fair they also called Michael Howard a lunatic. Oh. hang on a minute…
Guido, I dont think you come off too badly in this article – could have been far worse I suspect. As far as today’s Telegraph is concerned I enjoyed Heffer’s demolition of Jacqui Smith.
That is not exactly a Herculean task, is it?
every decent person should boycott the Labourgraph. I stopped buying it several years ago.
First post here.
Not bothered by what the Telegraph has said.
Keep on using the bayonet, Guido.
To your front, watch and shoot….watch and shoot.
PP1, turning targets.
I generally don’t buy the Labourgraph anyway (Simon Heffer seems to make a career out of attacking any politician he thinks fit) but I did enjoy his analysis of Jackboots this morning.
Still doesn’t mean I’d touch the print version with a 10 foot bargepole!
Heffers piece was great fun.
It feels as if the wolves are circling the herd and attacking the weaker targets, picking them off one by one.
Take pride Guido – the net is brining a new age of honesty.
Public figures have always lied about being whiter than white themselves, in a conspiracy to oppress those who are provably normal and to divert attention from things that really matter.
No one will really gives a f*ck about any of the those things – those that say they do are the usual crew looking to protect their positions based on their own lies.
But most of all – the public are coming to know it – no one has a spotless history, but until now some have been very good at hiding theirs.
We are three million miles from earth and the only people left are Guido Falkes and a creature called Lady Mandlebum, who evolved from a rat.
Additional.
There’s a one eyed Scottish git outside knocking on the window. Says he saved planet earth. Any suggestions?
Don’t open the air lock.
Turn your lasers on it.
On the contrary evacuate the capsule and let those two have it to them selves, it is better to die than share it with anyone of them.
Send out Kryton with his groin attachment, that should sort him out…..
Don’t let it in – it’s a mind reading shape shifter. At first it will look like the very person you need to help you but will then change to reveal the true evil within it. You and every democratic thing for many lightyears around will be destroyed.
Nice biography – shows you to be a relatively normal person, unlike the control freaks, smear-merchants and their associated hangers-on. If only all those fine upstanding members of the establishment had some of that on on their CV, perhaps the country wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in now. More power to you and keep up the good work!
If only some of them had had jobs on their CV’s which didn’t involve sucking McDoom’s/McPoison’s/McGuire’s/Mandelbum’s(particularly loathsome)/Watson’s arses!
I wonder how many of the Labourgraph hacks dabble in drink and drugs.
Dodgy maths claiming four convictions in forty years unless you started drinking uncommonly early. It is, incidentally, not a crime to be drunk as such – it has to be combined with being disorderly, driving or some other such activity. So you should be all right on your Friday night binges, provided it doesn’t get too out of hand. In fact if we are to believe the Telegraph then it looks like four alcohol-related convictions in seven years (and an arrest isn’t a conviction, as Damian Green could tell you).
Of course there is always room on public life for the colourful, fearless character with a slightly blemished private life. However, it can very easily tip from colourful to pathetic as numerous celebrity figures can attest.
We shall see – I read much of this stuff with amused detachment. There’s been plenty enough to anger me recently over the ethics of politicians, but I’m not sure I’m yet ready to believe that the underlying character behind Guido Fawkes should really be an aspirational figure. A blogging career bases on the venal behaviour of some inept political figures and compliant journalists is one thing, but it doesn’t add up to much of a coherent practical policy for running a government. We’ll see, but congratulations on your time in the sun (or the SUN). We’ll see what happens in the future, but at least your drinking doesn’t seem to have had quite the dramatic personal affect that is has had on the 34 year old Damian McBride.
I stopped writing to the Telegraph when I discovered they are merely an organ of the Labour party, more subtle than Labour.List but, then so is Pravda. If they really think it is in the public interest for the public to know every little detail of one who has told a truth about the way this stinking Labour Government and its chief architect Gordon Brown operates then why not go the whole way and give us all the details of their journalists.
Oops, forgive me for being slow here…. this cannot happen until one of their journalists (copy-writers) stops sucking on the teats of Labour spin and resorts to investigative journalism and actually prints a truth.
I see the BBC is giving prime coverage to the news that the police searched for the leading human rights campaigner Sharmi Chakrabarti when they arrested Damian Green. Al Jabeeba has seen fit to put it at the bottom of their “other top stories” with a very ambiguous headline. I wonder why?!
Is this why she has been very quiet over innocent people getting beaten up by the plod and dodgy ‘Post mortem’ dossiers?
If it’s a GB smear campaign, what’s it for? Your not going to sack yourself and it keeps the story alive when they should be trying to kill it.
Is it a GB trait – when in a hole keep digging?
turn on tune in and drop the dead donkies
Bravo Guido keep smiling :)
Spectacularly bad hatchet job. All it does is confirm that Guido truly is a maverick outsider railing against the servile mediocrities of the political class.
Sick ‘em Guido.
I do not waste time reading ANY papers nowadays-I simply read Guidos blog and PB.
If there are any interesting links posted there I will read them-I have saved a LOT of time adopting this approach.
I’ve come to the same conclusion. Waste of time looking at the MSM.
The fact is that Labour politicians and their poodle journos are all shagging each others brains out.
I know it’s ironic, but they don’t like it up ‘em.
Don’t you mean they do like it up ‘em?
Hoons at the Telegraph are getting worse – now running a claim by Charlie Whelan that his emails were hacked
Fuck off Charlie

Guido was louche
you forgot the bath plug.
Bathplugs !
Would that be the 88p specials?
Psst someone tell two homes jackboots – plugs 10% off – one day only, hurry, stocks can’t last.
(PS Kackboots: bet you wished you’d never touched Damien Green now, eh -Liebour the Naztyparty)
I love the word ‘louche’. Anyone who’s louche is alright.
poor old gordon luscus brown
The book sounds interesting- but 33 quid! I’ll just have to hope for a cheaper copy to turn up.
Gordon doesn’t mind Liars on the payroll but hates it when they are found out ..good old Guido you are the ” people’s princess blogger “
Somewhere along the way , I see the hands of Mandleson and Campbell behind the Telegraph article. Typical nulabour vindictive smear tactics.
Laughable really.
I agree Tony and wondered if Crick was in there too !
Carry on Guido – you’re doing this country a massive service. I cancelled my order (27 years) with the local newsagents for the DT and am quite happy to find out what I want on the Net.
Guido,
The great thing about your colourful past is that you have lived a diverse and interesting life and are not ashamed of the experiences.
It is axiomatic that Mr Brown has always been a one dimensional “career” politician, and an extraordinarily piss-poor one at that!
For the Telegraph to run with this as an expose is remarkable. It is an obvious regurgitation from the No 10 spin machine which we were promised had been stopped.
Ah well, I shall miss the crossword!
Actually the article has raised my admiration of GF.
Unintended consequences?
#128: …not even a regurgitation, cut and paste from Wikipedia.
The Telehacks are lower than The McBridy-Dripper News of Screws
What a pair ‘o berks the Barclays of Sark are.
Don’t let the bastards grind you down. Time to do some digging on those feudal Barclay brother knuts. Of course we know the ditherer is behind this but do those feudal knuts have an agenda of their own or has the ditherer promised them some goodies?
THIRSTY Will Lewis is no doubt thinking that his transformation of the paper into the Downmarket Dacre-graph is almost complete…
[cue evil cackle..]
I have this vision of a line of track suited bottomed people queueing for their giros while trying unsucessfully to grapple with the intracacies of reading a large broadsheet in a very confined space.
Looks like you’ve got ‘em worried, Guido. If they go to all the trouble to trash your character (note that they didn’t actually have any arguments against what you’ve been saying), they must feel frightened.
Keep up the good work!
Thank heavens for the blogosphere so that you can publish your rebuttal, in my case even before reading the original.
There is a very complimentary article about you in IrishTimes.com. Could somebody post a link to it for me – Apologgies-I don’t know how.

the Orish Toimes piece is not bad. Now why couldn’t the Telegraph have done something like that? – maybe a bit less congratulatory, but balanced.
Answers on a postcard.
Better still answers on a placard oustdide theire offices
Still thinking you were probably going to do more damage as a stealthy hit-and-run guerilla, flying under the radar of the mainstream media…
You are too much of a threat to their business model for them to want to allow you to survive – their full resources will now be out to destroy you.
Don’t let them – and be careful of ‘leaks’ and ‘disinformation’ calculated to discredit you.
Good for you mate.
At least you didn’t make a claim for the drugs on public expenses.
bugger!
is that possible as well?
Only Viagra apparently.
Yes claim for them under “hospitality” or “flowers”.
Brownosaurs and mediasaurs stare in horror at a mouse called Guido
Go, Darwin!
The video “fuck you to 12 years of New labour nonsense” on YouTube has been pulled… unfortunate for those who didn’t get the chance to enjoy it, but it will stay with me and will bring a smile for the rest of the year.
The clampdown has begun.
Somebody somewhere must have a copy.
I sent to most of my mailbox last night telling them it was a draft for the next tory pp broadcast.
Is there no way to get it back??
I have posted on the Telegraph site that when Rayner went to the Telegraph from The Mail, the Guardian did a piece in which we were told that he had written ‘on the inner workings of no. 10′. However most of the stuff was about Cherie Blair, Carole Caplin and Martha Green – not exactly earth-shaking stuff revealing that democracy was done for – and Peter Foster. Ironically, rergarding the latter, Rayner revealed the content of emails which caused Cherie to retract previous statements.
So, in some respects a bit like Guido, except that Rayner’s stuff was tabloid tittle-tattle and not exactly a scoop resulting in his name being on every bugger’s lips. Perhaps that’s why he’s being a bit bitchy now.
So far my comment has not appeared.
Good for you Guido!
Your coverage of the corruption at Downing St has exposed the connivance of the MSM in the scheme of things. To this extent, the Turdygraph’s ad hominem attack is a back handed compliment.
The sinecured lickspittles of the MSM and their NuLab masters are frantic because Guido has exposed them as charlatans to the people they most fear – the ordinary British public.
PS. I’ve never been arrested; never went to a rave & never taken drugs; never made a million but was never bankrupted.
I feel like I’ve wasted my life.
The Barclay Bros are in my pocket and will do as I say or their tax exile status will melt under my Blowtorch.
I am the leader of the gang ( I am )
Notice these wankers in the deadwood press NEVER expose the criminality of fellow deadwood journalists do they? I’s like to see what crimes that lot have committed over the years.
You shone a light on a bunch of idle complicit scumbags Guido. You are a people’s hero.
YOU may have been the one to bring down this corrupt vile left wing Governent.
Perhaps its time to turn your attentions to the Telegraph.
What exactly is in it for them ? Labour are finished and will rot in opposition for a decade ( the time o do your sucking up to New Liebour was ten years ago ).
There’s more to this than meets the eye.
Barclay Brothers? Mandleson?
connection?
I click on all the Daily Newspapers every morning starting with the Sun and finishing with the Times. I found myself hesitating when I got to the Telegraph this morning. No More…No Click!
If that was meant to be a hatchet job, it just shows how totally out of touch the Telegraph is. Anyone under 50 will read it with misty-eyed nostalgia: drugs, dancing, clowning around, making a bit of money (remember money, anyone?), losing it, getting into causes, gaming (I still have a Super Nintendo), getting arrested……. those were the days.
I think your stock has risen considerably since they published.
Though I was annoyed that they didn’t publish your home address as I wanted to send you a card!
Sheesh; and any number of us over 50.
I still go to the Telegraph online edtiion – but only to read the Matt cartoon, he’s great, and very subversive.
As he’s on holiday at the moment, no point.
True, Matt was good, in the past, at least. I wonder where he’ll go when the Telecrap folds ?
Matt is great… Did you see the Ali Bongo funeral one? Class.
I wonder if I can ask the newsagent to cut Matt out, and just sell me that…
The Alex cartoons are also good. Not worth paying actual money, of course, just for that. Read it online only.
I am boycotting the Telegraph. They are mad to set themselves against your website Guido when you’ve done such a service to democracy this past week. More power to you, keep up the good work.
No doubt the Beast of Bolsover still refers to it as the Torygraph, bless him!! Old age can be very unkind to some…………..
From now on it will be known as the Labourgaff !
Is it true that the Barclay brothers are the offspring of a mental retard and a syphilitic whore?
Quite possibly, and it would also seem that their conceptions were the result of backdoor encounters going a wee bit skew-whiff; due to minimal penetration of the stink-rose (being tight-arsed is also hereditary), some of the retard`s man-juice leaked through the frontdoor.
Just heard that idiot Ross on Radio 2 describe the Liebourgraph as full of right-wing rubbish! He likes the magazine though, so thats ok.
Do you think Ross will vote for increased taxation on Higher earners or do you think what he says in public and where he puts his cross in the ballot box are two different things /
John Lennon voted Conservative whilst resident in Britain as well. Funny that !
I think Ross is an overpaid egotistical hoon. Unfortunately this morning, I forgot to turn the radio off at 10am when he comes on. Its turned off now!
And yeah if I was paid 6million a year, from tax payers money, I would not pass judgement on something I obviously don’t read, but I wouldn’t lie and pretend to be a lefty. Why mention these things at all? He is supposed to be presenting an “entertainment” show, so why bring politics into it?
What makes you think the prick can read?
Has he paid the fine yet levied on the BBC for his childish antics or are the licence payers expected to stump up again?
Guido,
Keep up the good work; you know you have won a battle when the dirtier journalists start to attack and continue their defence of the indefensible.
In the US this week they had their anti-Tax “Tea Parties” – we need a “Burn the MSM” day with a nice little bonfire of their rags, including the Times. They are just as guilty despite their about turn.
Matthew Parris in todays Times talking about the Nixon/Brown analogy.
“But the analogy is an insult. To Nixon. Richard Nixon went to China. Richard Nixon ended the Vietnam war. Mr Brown thought of a scheme to tempt potentially troublemaking youths with vouchers to spend at municipal leisure centres.”
Brilliant my good Sir , absolutely devestating.
And Nixon had a lot more charm and personality….
…..and the courage to subject himselve to a proven interviewer like Frost. Other than Fiona Phillips on the GMTV sofa when has Brown ever allowed himself to be intervieweed by the Likes of Paxman or to public scrutiny in Question Time?
He did an open forum in Glasgow this week with a selected audience, no doubt drawn from party member and Glasgow City Council employees looking for a day away from work.
And apparently the questions were pre-selected by a ZaNuLieBor Jockanese apparatchik. Would you believe it?
Is there no way to get a copy of the Fuck You Youtube video which has been pulled?
Fuck the Telegraph. Never buying it again. Or reading online. Simply beggars belief that they can crawl up Gordon’s back passage. Many have been there before however.
A real bunch of tw*ts……Telegraph Group use auto dialers to contact possible subscribers, I was being contacted by phone on a daily basis ( 08000 927203 Telegen) on behalf of Telegraph Media Group….would not take me off their call lists until a formal complaint was submitted! 1 – 4 calls a day, most were silent when answered…………
Breached the rules, as I am signed up to TPS (Telephone Preference Service)…… typical barclay bros tactics….
still waiting for an apology!!

Guido has uncovered scandal after scandal
I had a laugh at one phrase used to describe you in tele article, ‘journalistic equivalent of an arsonist’…….Don’t they know your name is Guy Fawkes…Dah!
You little twisted fire starter you!
Does that now make him a Pyrotechnet?
See the DT is letting comments go through now. At least mine and a a fair number of others, all denouncing them, have appeared. Nevertheless it is a highly discreditable article which will linger in the folklore for many years. You can’t just dismiss it as an “error of judgement”. Come on Simon Heffer, tell us what you think–or if you can’t do that, give the abysmal “Chief Distorter” and your editor a dressing-down.
They’ve let mine through too now.
Not sure whether this is cock-up or conspiracy. Maybe they’re all at home drinking coffee and some junior on minding-the-shop duty has been shouted at by the boss so s/he has had to go through the comments and start putting them up..
All the early comments are still missing but the later ones back up what I said.
I wonder just what it would take to bring the Telecrap to its senses ?
Rayner is the reporter who slavishly reported all the inept and inaccurate verbiage in the Jersey child abuse fiasco. In that instance he was adopting a stance more generally taken by the tabloids. He appears to be unable to take an objective view. Is he in the right career?
no
With commiserations to the hon. and courageous journos whom you name, this formerly loyal reader (over decades) will not give another fucking penny to the Formergraph. I hope the good guys find a paper less corrupt and craven in which to publish their exceptional writings.
May the Copper Brothers and their now despicable rag go to Hell along with their friend the Don and all his mafiosi.
Guido – so it’s all out now and there is nothing more they can throw at you BUT I’m sure with this lying, rotton, incompetent, thieving and wasteful goverment you must have some other little tit bits up your sleeves – I look forward to further expose with relish.
Also, don’t these idiots realise that the more they try to get you the more people like me will read your blog – you couldn’t buy this publicity. Stupid idiots.
Agreed it is not yet mid day and this thread alone has attracted nearly 200 postings. You are going viral Guido and almost as popular as Susan whatshername from Britains got talent !
Hmm, the only way to search the Land register is by property details, not by owner name. So someone supplied the DT with the details of the property addresses and postcodes owned by Guido’s wife.
Regarding the death of Ian Tomlinson; it is not possible for a pathologist to confuse death by abdominal bleeding with death by heart attack.
When an abdominal bleed causes death there is so much blood in the abdominal cavity that there can be no doubt whatever.
What appears to have happened is that the authorities went initially for a whitewash, but then decided to be straightforward and honest about the cause of death. All credit to them; there is hope for us yet.
I have no doubt that many in Government wanted the truth concealed and that the civil service employees responsible decided to take a stand.
The significance of this cannot be underestimated.
The patholigist had previous as well
https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/04/427277.html?c=on
sorry, pathologist, would help if I could spell
Moley,
>Regarding the death of Ian Tomlinson..
Looking at the video, the policeman first hit Tomlinson with the baton he held in his left hand, the video frames of the subsequent ‘push’ show that as Tomlinson shot forward the the policeman’s baton was still horizontal in the policeman’s left hand, I assume that the other end was being held in his right hand. Tomlinson was clearly hit very hard judging by the speeds of the moving bodies, it looks like all that force was transferred by through a horizontally held baton in the small of his back. With the small area of the baton and the forces involved it’s hardly surprising there was serious damage, rupture sounds an appropriate word.
Years ago I read a book called Riotous Assembly, the most bitingly hilarious assassination of the South African police imaginable. Tom Sharpe must surely notice the appalling way that the UK police and society are marching towards the rotten society he lampooned decades ago.
Riotous Assembly: brilliant book! We have our own Konstabel Els dont we? And who would be Colonel van der Kramp? Mind you drinking Old Rhino doesnt have the same kick anymore does it?
I am looking forward to the Telegraphs inevitable decline in readership.
Do you think they will respond with a “Jade One month on from her death” Commemorative Edition ?
Yeah but it will take them two months to prepare it!
to late to smear me now
Rayner is getting considerable ‘blowback’ in the comments following his attempted smear.
When will these so called journalists learn? The rules have changed. The Internet enabled public decides the news agenda now.
For the record: I once wrote to Hefferlump. Not only did he read the letter instead of sticking it in the bin, but took the trouble to write back with a short courteous opinion showing that he’d taken my objections seriously. It was generous of him considering my letter wasn’t exactly complimentary.
24 comments so far on the Labourgraph website and ALL of them negative. Pathetic work by Raynor et al.
Perhaps there is some new information about Guido somewhere, please wake me up again should anything interesting ever be said about our blogging superhero.
Just exactly was Greedo’s support for the US backed Nicaraguan freedom fighters/terrorists (delete as applicable)?
Has he ever brunched with Ollie North?
Did he smuggle arms and ammunition across the treacherous border?
Or was it a more up close and personal, cold steel affair?
My what an exiting life he has led and continues to lead.
Can’t wait for the authorised biography to come out.
Will it be serialised in the Telegaff?
p.s does Greedo still have contacts from his Acid Party days? My supplier has been busted and Glasto’s rapidly approaching.
Sorry “What was ……….”
Blame it on an acid addled brain.
Guido has bollocks bigger than King Kong.
Long live the Fawkes.
I suspect that you will get more positives than negatives from the DT article as even most readers of that rubbish rag could see through it as a smear.
Doesn’t look too censored to me, they must have been following the comments on here and realised they’d been rumbled. Really though, who still reads the Labourgraph??
I couldn’t give a rat’s toss what you got up to in your yoof (though you seem to have had a bloody good time at it though) or indeed what you get up to now away from this site. It’s none of my fecking business. And bringing your family into it is even more despicable. But, what MPs get up to, is my fecking business because my taxes pay their wages (and expenses). So why don’t the labourgraph get their weasel hacks to go off and trawl the gutters for *that* info. I’m at a loss to understand what that rag is up to – their attempted spiking of your scoop last week and now this. They’ve just lost another reader of a couple of decades. And you have gained another visitor – only came here for the first time last week. Keep up the good work.
I am sure Guy Fawkes had a spotless character. That’s why he tried to blow up Parliament.
Would have been even more spotless if he had succeeded.
Nul points M. Fawkes
Must try harder
Erm, yes, this is no worse than many people I know get/have gotten up to. And the reader comments say it all: “i’m going to stop buying this paper”. I am sad to say that you seem to be relatively ‘normal’.
And Guido if anything………………they’re portraying you as some kind of drug-taking, alcohol-binging scum bag, I think you should just bring them down to your level :P (ha ha) think of it as levelling the playing field
As a hatchet job it’s pretty useless. Guido’s a bit of an unreliable hedonist who lives life on the edge? Hell, I was told that 20-odd years ago. As for FCS, Hart, or the unmentioned Contra tour, they all look like badges of honour to me.
Apropos the demise of the Telegraph, the strange Barclay brothers have previous form. Other decent titles ruined by their stewardship have been the Scotsman (aided by the odious Andrew Neil) and the Herald.
Can anyone shed some new light on this duo? Is trashing newspapers simply a hobby of the idle rich or is there a more sinister plan behind their activities?
To display the level of their integrity – they have published an article by Charlie Whelan of all people, telling us that the e-mails were hacked and he is considering calling in the police. What an imbecile and what a craven Labourgraph. As Whelan was copied in the e-mails I have he is questioned by the police for intent to defame if there is such a crime.
Computers? Police? Probably not a good idea!
I meant to type “e-mails I hope he is questioned” – I truly do not have the e-mails ! Honest !
Wish I had them – I’d publish them on my blog straight away.
I’m sure there are more, Guido – when’s the next tranche due?
There are some comments up on the Torygraph piece new, presumably the least critical they could filter out but they are still pretty bad reading for the Barclays and the editor. I notice that they have not put up my own comment, which was to ask them about why they didn’t mention their decision to breaching Guido’s NDA, and why they chose to collude with the Government damage limitation exercise.
I think they should get Kryten into No 10
Brown: So we will give everyone a tax cut from public money just before the election.
Kryten: A brilliant plan sir with just two small drawbacks.
1. We don’t have any public money
And 2. We don’t have any public money
Now I realise that technically that’s only one point but I thought it was so important I should say it twice.
Smeeeeg Heeead
The so called “expose” of your colourful past reminds me of a story familiar to many no doubt and often used when talking about leaders of men. You know the one about the Drinker ( Rosevelt) the drug taker( Churchill) and the tea totaler( Hitler).
Yes that one, now who’s for the dour faced “son of the manse” anyone ?
It’s an hour since they posted the last comment and ONLY 24?
They have probably had in excess of hundreds by now. The moderator must be trying ever so hard to find a complimentary comment.
When you nail your flag so firmly to the mast, you have to expect a wee bit of bother.
Oh dear, maybe some damage limitation expected soon at the Telegraph.
I posted on the former Torygraph at about 2am (admittedly, I’d had a little to drink, but nothing too impeding), mentioning the NDA betrayal and the generally low rent quality of their attack. Nada. Hannan aside, the Barclays have trashed a good paper.
All it needs now is Sir MW to have a go on behalf of the lobby.
Pathetic. Truly pathetic.
But as they say, no publicity is bad publicity.
Guido, everyone has a past, and as others have pointed out you are not “elected” or “promoted” representative of the people where you make decisions that effect everyone in this country and you are also not paid a 6 figure sum by the people (maybe you should be paid a 6 figure sum for your service to the people) to do your job. Shame on the telegraph – this story is about the smear tactics conjured up by McBride a civil servant for party political gain – the country is outraged – so the Telegraph respond by smearing Guido – the telegraph are certainly in touch with the mood of the country – I will be boycotting their website and their paper once I post a damning comment on their website. What a bunch of cretins!
Start a round robin email and send http://www.order-order.com to all in your contacts list and ask them to take a look and do the same. If only 10% take a look it will be worthwhile
( Note to Guido…better get a larger server)
Why are you all getting in a Tizz?
That article is spinning Guido in a very positive light to the man in the street, certainly not a smear.
It’s clearly been put up by some out of touch Labour spin merchant who is right at this very moment getting a Nokia bounced off his not too bright head.
Wish i’d experienced half of his antics.
Power to you Guido
oh, and I really really hope you’re playing with Gordy and the other hoons and have some gunpowder left in the form of further emails…..please say it’s true.
I have just cancelled my order for the Labourgraph. Keep up the good work Mr Fawkes and may God bless you.
You have done more to expose the workings of Nulab than anyone else.
Well done Guido.
I’ve just read the Telegraph piece.
Dearest Gudio, are you getting paranoid or something? Touched with the merest sliver of acid, it is the most staggering puff piece you could have hoped for.
I should think your hits will soar after it. Deservedly. What a star you are – although I have a certain sympathy for your wife. Living with you must be like living on the edge of a volcano.
I remember heading off with friends in two cars, fiesta and corsa I think, both battered, to find a rave in the woods near Luton some years ago. We constantly stopped to check our directions. Both myself, as one driver, and a woman friend, the other driver were the only ones not stoned out of our skulls. We spent 4 hours driving around the country roads around Luton, stopping at garages etc. We never found the rave but our music and the fun enjoyed was possibly betta, mate.
Don’t let them get you down Guido. We have expected some backlash, and frankly it’s pathetic much like the fucking government.
Jesus Guido, there are more window-lickers on here than there would be at the local Ha-Ha-Hotel’s christmas party! At least you keep the right-wing loonies in one place; so much easier to control them that way.
Now, watch your back. Broon et al will never forgive you or yours…
Fucking delicious!
Mr FD,
It’s like seeing an old friend, sort of. Which reminds me what another old friend had to say last year:
MANNERS MAKETH BLOKE
A Plumber writes.
Will never get nowhere by disrespecting one and other, except Mr Fucking Delicious and his disabled and retarded inbred half-brothers who he probably fathered himself with his sister, like they do in Scotland. And so is best to address other bloke with respect as MR Forty-Five Government, MR Woman on A Raft, MR Beast of Clerkenwell, MR Dennis the Cruel Hunchback, MR Mitch, MR Mrs Lillith and MR Swiss Bob and MR Shit-Bag and so on and so on et cetera et cetera regarding all other friends and fellow plumbers left out due to space and not bad fucking manners. Is alright call some other bloke a Hoon, especially Jock, but no need to be rude, best to say, for instance, MR Fucking Delicious you are a mutant, inbred, wife-beating, inebriate, cross-dressing, idle Hoon with turnips where proper English bloke has brain and who doesn’t even know what’s happening in your own country, the one you claim to love more than your parents, not that you know who they are, or even if they are of the same species as one and other. See ? MR. Makes all the difference, good fucking manners, cost fuck all. Unlike fucking M fucking Ps. Who burn all the money and then squat down and shit in face of taxpayer. That’s really bad fucking manners
Nice to see you again.
Well hello SB; and as for the unionist traitor known as the plumber, I laugh at him and his english ‘friends’.
Scotland first and foremost, and fuck this union that is run by a scumbag gang of lunatics.
I trust I haven’t gone to far…
Fucking delicious!
Mr FD,
The only thing Scotchland seems to be first and foremost in is claiming benefits and whinging, cross-dressing obviously but there’s a few other nations that would give you a run for your money in that field.
As for the Union and the scumbag gang of lunatics, we can agree on that.
Have to post this correction otherwise I can expect several paragraphs of the same in my direction. Just to be clear if you’re reading Mr Stanislav that it is Guido’s shite software ‘correcting’ your text. Please accept the minor annoyance of the umlauts:

Charlie Whelan’s a pathetic liar and will never call the police in in a million years. It would mean allowing the police to forensically examine his computer, or is he that stupid? Probably.
The Telegraph may be publishing some comments now that they have been stung into action but I can assure you that at least three are definitely not published.
Mine hasn’t been published and I wrote it over an hour ago.
DT still heavily moderating their comments, it seems. Shame. What’s happened over there? Can’t believe that it’s simply about GF giving the scoop to someone else. Any DT journalists out there who would care to give us the low-down on your new editorial direction?
Welcome to our world Guido. Next you will be a fascist, then a racist, the Unions will turn on you. The NUJ will lock you out and begin to show you as some sort of fruit cake with a little help from their BBC friends. Since the Labour Party control the UAF, you may find your information appearing on their web sites. You will have the great unwashed paid for by Unite, (extra cash that the benefit office don’t know about), tracking you down with claw hammers. Now you have upset Labour, be prepared for anything.
All you need to know about the Barclay brothers is their reaction to the democratic election on Sark. Thats how principled they are, thats how freedom loving they are.
Do all please get it right! The Barclay Brothers don’t live on Sark – it’s on some other island nearby whose name is instantly forgettable but begins with “B”
Brecqhou
The original point made by Anon is though quite correct.
I left this comment if it doesn’t get through.
No more buying the Telegraph for me. I prefer reading real news from proper journalists, aka bloggers. MSM journos are a bunch of lazy corrupt sell outs, they are the other side of the political coin, and that’s a very devalued currency these days.
You’ve got an awful lot of blokeish male admirers above. My admiration is for what you’re doing NOT for your murky past. And you’re being highly selective with the truth when you talk about “which amounts to being arrested drunk four times in forty years” . According to the Telegraph there was more than drunkenness involved. You don’t get tagged for drunkenness – yet! Nor banned from driving. Were you that drunken lout on the wrong on the wrong side of the road who nearly killed me and my family a year or two back ? Attack the newspaper if you want but don’t get caught out being economical with the truth. It spoils your credibility.
Nobody’s perfect and who better to point this out than someone with such a past. They always say converts are the most fervent.
But – for whatever motives – you’ve done a good job on the “nest of vipers” and lets hope that Cameron – who is a decent bloke if not very bright – will at least clean up the place a bit.
Don’t give the Schizograph (as I call it) because in the present economic crisis its stable of economic is unsurpassed antywhere in Fleet street, They knock spots off the FT and the Economist and as for the Times – well!
Power and money seem to have a strange hypnotic effect on the Telegraph and its editorial team – I don’t doubt that their tune will change again when a new party is in government…
As far as I can make out, the Telegraph comments facility is there on their articles mainly for decoration – weirdly, very few critical remarks seem to make it through the filter.
Mine didn’t get through again. I guess its something to with the ‘In Berkley, not at Berkley’ brothers as proprietors.
I bet Amazon don’t print my impartial review of Dolly’s book either.
Now thats a review I would love to read : )
Guido – I’m sure we would all be happy to chip in for you to take the wife and kids to Sark for a well-earned break.
yup
I find it a disgrace that they mention your wife’s investments. The days are long gone when a wife’s income were the property of her husband. What was this reporter bloke trying to prove by mentioning it? That he’s done a good investigative job on you?
Not clever Mr Reporter. You’ll lose far more than you win behaving in that manner.
The moderator at the Telegraph is letting some choice comments through.
Probably written his resignation by now
Just written tomorrow Sunday Telegraph Headline
” Fawkes’ Wife Responsible foe Gulf War and Diana’s Death”
One has to earn a crust
The article also says that you delete some comments, Guido. Is it true you censor some stuff? How do you decide what gets cut? Do some things make it past your moderation, but get removed later? Or is the Telegraph wrong about that?
Posted a comment twice on the Telegraph site but nothing has appeared, who is censoring ??
Every comment I have posted on Guido is exact as original.
Haven’t noticed many Labour supporters on here lately, maybe they don’t work weekends at No. 10!! or they are back in their constituancies laying the dust Guido has created.
I had a bit of adverse moderation when the Guido site was changed ( the Hoon thing ) a couple of months back. But I think generally Guido just lets anyone post anything they like. Some real crap gets thru. I don’t bother reading anything with “pride” on the header. The newspapers edit considerably more. I notice The Times comments are heavily moderated, but they like getting foreign comments. The comments on the Mail are also remarkably Bufton Tufton too. The Economist is pretty liberal.
Guido may well moderate, but less so than most sites in my experience. And essentially as this is a private blog he can censor anything he wants. I suspect he knows the Zanu muppets do themselves more harm than good by writing miles of crap.
Mr Fawkes owns this blog.
He has issued a statement on the website about his comments policy
Go read it.
http://www.order-order.com/2004/01/about-guidos-blog/ “The comments policy is arbitrary and inconsistent.” Hey, just like the Telegraph’s!
‘When I asked Mr Fawkes yesterday what drove him on, he said: “It’s anger. With politicians who are letting us down, journalists who let them get away with it, and a shabby opposition.”‘
And it’s why we read you Mr Fawkes. Let the good work continue.
Can I just make it known that I am ready if my services are required.
If it’s all out in the open you have nothing to fear…
“There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there?”

:-)
From the Gruniad,
“Rayner has written numerous stories at the Mail focusing on the inner workings on Number 10, including Cherie Blair’s relationship with advisers Carole Caplin and, more recently, Martha Greene.
He also investigated Peter Foster, who helped Mrs Blair to buy two flats in Bristol in 2002.
After the Mail published emails that forced Mrs Blair to retract her previous statements, Rayner was a finalist in the reporter of the year category at the British Press Awards in 2003.”
It’s pretty obvious why Rayner is now obliged to swim against the current.
The pressure now from “informed sources” must be impossible for him to resist
There are now almost 50 comments on the DT article – every single one highly critical of it. I wonder how long they’ll continue to make it “editor’s choice”?
Check out the Irish Times much better than the smeelygraph
Wexford-based Guido Fawkes’s reputation as the top blogger of UK politics has been cemented by his uncovering of a planned smear campaign against leading Tories, writes KEVIN COURTNEY
Never in the field of Journalism has a newspaper so miscalculated the mood of public opinion !
Plato’s blog deserves a link, Guido:
http://plato-says.blogspot.com/
Now then Plato we know it’s you
to avoid any confusion #326 is in response to #323
Has the Telegaff miscalculated this one ?
Expect them to say sorry……………………………..only joking
I have a theory about life.
It is something we are given and we should use it.
We should learn from our experiences and try and use them to our advantage and hopefully we should be able to do something useful with our lives.
Given my theory, to my mind, this fucker is very, very jealous. He hasn’t actually done anything worth shit himself so he picks on someone who has lived his life.
You carry on, Guido!
Used to work at the labourgraph, its a shadow of its forner self. Nasty little article, I did say so after the article but they have not published my comments.
Any way stirling work Guido, your now one of my daily news sources.
Fawkes has made it his business to dig dirt on others, so he should not complain when others dig dirt on him. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
He is not complaining about dirt digging you nerk, he’s complaining about it being a stupid article designed as a spin vehicle.
Guido doesn’t mind a bit of spin himself. Look how he spins the offences like they’re just four occasional acts of silly drunken antics. What a guy!
None of the convictions undermine his original blog report. So if they aren’t relevant, he should ignore them. If he chooses to respond to them, then he shouldn’t misrepresent them – that’s everything he decried in the politicians’ responses! Don’t be as bad as them!
I want to keep trusting Guido. If he can’t be honest about himself about the ban and the tag (like he is about the drugs), why should I? How can he complain about them being selective about facts when he’s spinning stuff?
I don’t want our hero to have feet of clay. Keep up the good work, Guido, but don’t stoop to their tactics!
I remember when journo’s got pissed in the afternoon & again in the evening. Of course then they would research stories, hunt down leads,set an agenda. Now its same story different copy, from our identikit bullshitters and arse lickers. Funny how many journo’s are married, related or both to our snout noses masters!
Keep the Home Fires Burning.
Number of comments on the Telegraph now going backwards.
It seems the moderator wasn’t moderating enough for someone’s taste.
One more on the dole queue.
I can reveal that the article in the DT was nothing at all whatsoever to do with the Government or the Labour Party.
Even now Damien McBride is contemplating calling in the police because he thinks his phone has been hacked into, following the rvelation of texts he has received about which he didn’t tell any political journalists!
I still buy the Telegraph out of a vague sense of loyalty, but I don’t know why. It is a shadow of its former great self, but as Guido says, there are still some good collumnists, though I would replace Heffer’s name with Charles Moore. I’m getting bored of Heffer’s ‘hrumphing, bumphing, we’re all going to hell in a hand cart’ style, even if it is true. There was a time when I would read the Telegraph cover to cover. Now I will read three articles on a good day. Whether I will ever bring myself to stop buying it is another matter.
Try to kick the habit soon. You’ll feel much better for it.
I’ve just read the Torygraph piece. Guido, I am a big fan but I think you’re being over-sensitive on this one. The piece is written with a not-too-grudging respect. The more colourful incidents in your life are listed there to make you look just that – colourful and independent minded – not as a hatchet job. And look at the last few paragraphs, man! It says that a victorious Tory party at the next election will have much to thank you for, but that they had better not expect an easy ride from Guido.
Its not a done deal the Tories will win the next election an awful lot of people I know are not intending to vote.
Basically they are fed up with a so-called democratic system that works in their name but does not represent them. Hence the why bother syndrome.
They still remember the Tory sleaze of the nineties and at the election that wiped them out in favour of more of the same from NUlab.
UPDATE 10.00 : Should say that there are still some great writers left on the Telegraph including Hannan, Randall, Halligan and Heffer
Not to mention that cantakerous old blogger Gerald Warner
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/gerald_warner/blog/2009/04/18/new_labours_political_policical_police_must_be_reformed_or_abolished
And Christopher Booker still makes an appearance now and then.
My post to Telegraph comments never made it through their pathetic moderation team it went as follows….
Shame on you Guido, you crashed their comfy little party, drunk too much fizzy pop made fun of the host, pinched a pretty girls bum, and missed the toilet seat by a mile.
Have you ever though of being an MP or indeed a Journalist, you seem to posses all the qualities so often found with these rough trades.
Clearly it was too close to the truth for comfort.
Go Guido Go………we KNOW the truth about what is written and where it stems from and no belly aching in a National will change our view. You have nothing to hide.
In case this doesn’t get past the Labourgraph censors – I’ll preserve it here:-
“Just another Gordon who is blind to what is happening here. No imagination – you think that more of the same smearing will work to repel the pretender. Sad and deluded, you think your toadying opinion is still of value.
Just go Gordon … both of you.”
A surprising 2.5 hour break in comments on the Labourgraph site … and my effort was not considered worthy ! Technical problems or censorship … I wonder.
The Telegraph is turning into a Nulabour shit-rag of the lowest order. A paper I used to be proud to read, but one that I now wouldn’t wipe my squittered arse on.
Just for the record here is my Comment posted on the Telegraph article.
No comments posted by Telegraph moderator for over one hour, the last no. 53 at 1.30 pm.
Telegraph – Guido – comments 18th April 2009
Who is Gordon Rayner? seems like one of those Hacks in the pay of McBride and McBrown – the main stream Media should be hanging its head in shame at the way it has hidden truths which it should have been exposing in their “impartial” rags.
I blame the BBC and Murdock and other media owners for the mess Brown has got this country in to.
Some of us remember over our working life times that this is the third time Labour has trashed the economy, only for the Tories to slowly revive the countries fortunes and the Media to persuade the gullible British public that Labour’s champagne Socialism is the way to go.
Get a real job and start employing people, see how “easy” it is to run a business under Labour.
Yep … my comment (above) also didn’t make ‘the cut’ …
How about a new political team?
Daniel Hannan (c) has to be in their of course. He’s my captain.
I’d still take Billy Hague and although I might get booed, I can’t help but like Michael Gove – for not pandering to the PC brigade and not being afraid to take unpopular (and therefore usually correct) stances whenever he’s on question time. I’d try and convince Mike Portillo back to politics, he had some truly crazy and insightful ideas flying about in his head in his day – he just made the mistake of telling people about them. Dave Davis could come along if he kept up his wild streak and of course you’d have Boris the John Johnson in your team as a given (did you see his football tackling skills?). I suppose that would be my backbone and then to fill out the team I’d take Ed Vaisey – bit close to Dave, but anyone who’s willing to take viagra on TV is ok by me – , Alexandra Swann (Student Life) your young future star like your Owen or Walcott – worth the risk and easy on the eye! , John Redwood, for his good ideology but awful presentation, Nadine Dorries – because anybody who fights John Prescott is alright in my book and hey she has that ex Nurse MILF thing going… don’t you think? . I suppose Liam Fox would make up my starting 11 although he’s inconsistent, I’d be willing to give him a crack as long as tried not to wander from the right too much.
So, that leaves formation… I reckon a wing back system with maybe a 5-1-3-1

Thoughts…?
Has anyone seen the poison the telegraph is publishing about our dear guido?

Talk about betrayl of your beleifs!!!!
have alook at my blog for some real news
http://what-they-wont-tell-you.blogspot.com/
I suppose it would be too much to expect a letter of apology from Thirsty at the Hoonsville Gazette. ‘Sorry’ probably isn’t in his vocabulary, rather like his snot-gobbling idol.

this guy knows the real truth
i have a leftwing mate who works in features on the Telegraph and he said the other week that most of those working there are lefties too, save for the obvious such as Simon Heffer and Janet Daly. He didn’t say that a year or so back, when he described himself as the token leftie in editorial meetings (but maybe he just didn’t realise the situation then). It appears the DT’s been infiltrated …
Daily Telegraph hasn’t published any more comments on the Guido attempted hatchet job since 1.30pm. They have decided to ’stick’ at 53 comments — unless they get one in support of the article, that is.
Judging by the support received by our esteemed PM amongst Liebours own then they might get 5 at a push !
noticed that
lefty bastards wontpublish my comment
I wonder if they ARE just posting comments supporting the article Zanu Pisspoorlabore?
The Daily Mailygraph. Hmmm. What more to say about this rag ? It’s not even funny. I read their “hatchet job” on Signor Guido and until I read the comments underneath I didn’t realise they were criticising him. They made him sound like quite a cool dude – hedge fund manager, running with the bulls at Pamplona etc. His blog is registered offshore – shock horror.
Funny considering the residence of the Mailygraph owners, the weido twins. Obviously the Nulabourgraph doesn’t do irony.
The DT must be getting desperate because their marketing department called me FOUR TIMES at the end of last week because they had some offer or other. I of course told them not to call me again and to sick their rag in a dark place where the sun doesn’t shine. For some reason they NEVER publish my occasional postings on their site and from the other comments above this is a far from unique experience. I suppose a copy of the last ever edition of the Labourgraph may be worth owning as an investment when they are flushed into the sewer of history.
And I wouldn’t wipe my arse with it because I’d be frightened of catching something nasty.
Well done Guido. Keep up the good work
Seems clear the DT pulled the plug on readers’ comments at no 53 at half past one. Saturday afternoon? Er, must be that. Of course. I read the paper online and had not realised what a terminal state it had reached under its present editor. I do know. Congratulations on another bulls eye, Guido. Simon Heffer, if you happen to read this and the comments above, you do know where your duty lies, don’t you? (PS Strong as it was, your piece on Jacqui this morning failed to live up to standard of the enthralling trashing she and her hubby received at the hands of Mr Liddle in the Spectator week before last.)
Not just stuck at 53 but some active ‘weeding out’ of previously posted comments has been going on, including my own. Whiff of panic?
Gordon Rayner’s an ex Daily Mail hack. What the hell he’s doing writing for the Telegraph, god only knows.
That was one of the cheapest hatchet job attacks I’ve had the displeasure to read in a mainstream media outlet for a long time; but then again, I don’t read the Mail, Mirror, Sun or Express where such partisan tactics are more prevalent.
Sorry Guido, I posted a warning …silly of me…should have known you knew already.
Well I repeat for all.
Looks like ‘Editors Choice’ Mr Rayner is angling for McBRUIN to appoint a new ‘Senior’ advisor and already sent in his CV…Mail (good backgound)…anti-Blair.(a must)…and anti-Guido (amajor plus)..and of course intimate knowledge of McBrides texting methods..obviously then one of the annointed.
Watch for another ‘Ship Jump’ from Mr Rayner
funny old world isn’t it? i posted a comment about Guido’s thin skin and speculated at the reason for his anger: could it be related to his many properties and a fear of libel? is he worried his wife’s respectable job could be threatened in some way by association with him?
many hours later, the comment has not appeared on the site.
so much for being a fearless crusader after the truth.
I also wondered at his failure to publish the NDA with the Telegraph.
Could it be that it was rubbish and had no legal standing?
I notice Mr Fawkes has resisted all pleas to publish it.
The truth is the profile wasn’t at all bad. It went well beyond the usual cut and paste stuff because the reporter actually did some work.
Gordon Rayner is a pretty good reporter, if you follow his work.
Guido came out of it reasonably well, I thought: maverick, buccaneer, bit bonkers.
Given some of the vile stuff posted here, it could have been a lot more caustic.
I left two comments on the DT which surprisingly (!!) didn’t get printed .
They just don’t get it do they ? Guido’s Smeargate exposed them for the bunch of spineless a**elickers that they are and rather than gratefully accept a final wake-up call to save their rag they decided to the shoot the messenger using tactics blatantly out of the No.10 bunker handbook .
The few comments that have made it through have all thoroughly trashed the editorial for the pathetic smear that it was . I only ever read the DT online so they never get any of my cash and as umpteen comments have asserted their refusal to buy the DT in the future just where are they going to obtain a revenue stream ?
Guido, keep up the good work. Nice to see a reference to another old comrade from FCS days :)
I suppose one could always give them feedaback via the email address:
newsfeedback@telegraph.co.uk
goes straight to trash, don’t bother. the paper’s f*cked, very sad.
No offence, Guido, but I don’t give a flying fuck about your personal past/situation; as long as people have a place where they can air their views publicly/freely about how rancid the bbc/press/government is then I don’t care who owns/runs the site.
I think it’s that attitude which I have and which so many others share which the press hate so much; ie that even if they managed to totally destroy your reputation, people would still use your blog and tell the world how much the bbc, labour, and the press stink.
Anyway, given a choice between believing the spin that people like McBride/Brown/Labour/BBC give out, or the spin of someone who criticises those things, nobody in their right mind would believe the labour spin. The more smears/personal-attacks that they write, the more they undermine their own position.
The only thing that was unravelled by Mr Gordon Rayner is the weakness of his journalistic instinct. I guess he had to add “Chief Reporter” to try and add some weight to his puerile article. I wonder if Mr McBride cast him a loving smile when he rolled out of bed!
Keep up the fight Guido the whole of the nation is relying on you! This sorry shower of a media have let the people down appallingly.
Thought the article was a disgrace it does highlight one admirable point. Guido is the real deal.
He was bankrupt, but did he mope and whinge and demand the rest of us sort his life out? No! He started this blog. A fine public service.
As good an example of capitalism as any.
Told you, sir. Don’t become the story. Campbell, Whelan, Mandelson, McBride, masters of the dark arts all, after spinning the story, they became the story. Then they plummeted to earth and were destroyed.
Now Guido has become the story. Let’s see what happens next.
It’s a nasty, snide piece that absolutely reeks of envy. Seems pretty unanimous here and over there on that score.
Guido makes great play of being “independent”. Maybe he can prove that he isn’t taking instructions from Tory HQ. But the well-researched Telegraph article shows that Guido follows a right-wing star, and is working for a Labour defeat in the next election. That doesn’t sound very independent.
The only way this can be disproved is for Guido to immediately mount a campaign against a serious Tory abuse of the electoral system, let’s say by way of example a campaign against the Ashcroft millions.
By the way, calling the Tory Telegraph a Labour rag is a bit desperate, don’t you think?
Perhaps the Telegraph can see that an unaccountable blog based in Nevis should not have the power to harm or bring down a democratically elected British government. Their civic-mindedness is to be commended.
A labour supporter writes ! How can you look at yourself or bear being yourself speaking up for this despicable, disgusting, slimy, smearing, debauched, burnt out, fag end, valueless, law abusing shower. You must be a drone and utterly witless.
A bit over the top, old boy. Too many adjectives. Not enough meaning.
You have no conception of the beliefs that Alice Mahon has. You miss the human feeling that pervades a true Labour voter, and yes, at the moment is disgusted by Brown/McBride, but will never dance to your tune, you right-wing vermin. Only an Alice Mahon can say these things, not a rootless, Nevis-based, criminal financier.
Bob, you truly are a blinkered zealot. It wouldn’t be Guido who would bring down a democratically elected government but the despicable McPoison and his puppet master the dithering idiot inhabiting 10 Downing Street.
Naztyparty =Liebour.
Anyone who thinks the criminals currently in post represent the Labour Party is insane.
Led by the Great Ruiner, a halfbreed mental, mad-dog backed up by scurvy brutish thuggish Scottish labour scum, all McSnot and his ghastly crew have done is to earn the moniker-
Absolutely the Worst Government of Britian Ever (AWGBE)
Wake up, smell the coffee and get out there and vote them out.
These sewer rats must never ever and I say it again never ever be allowed with in a hundred miles of office, ever again.
My challenge to Guido remains: to prove you are truly “independent”, you should immediately mount a campaign against Ashcroft. Nothing else will suffice.
Alice Mahon would despise you. Any decent person would know and appreciate how she feels. She would never condone you using her name to encourage re-election of twisted New Labour. You “challenge” Guido – why does “swat” and “fly” spring into my mind.
DO NOT use a genuine person like Alice Mahon to propogate your dross.
Saw the headline on the Telegraph newspaper this evening when I popped into the shop for some milk. The political editor leads the front page with some complete bore of a story about 20mph limits being set in a bid to cut road deaths.
Now call me cynical but this appears to be yet another story in the tradition of what the government proposes to do (as opposed to what it actually gets around to doing) and could almost have come off straight off a press release.
I wonder how much investigative journalism was involved in obtaining this “story”? Did it go much beyond receiving a call from your mates in the PM’s office and being asked to run with this to counter all the bad publicity going around at the moment?
It seems they are little more than Government sub-editors at the Telegraph at the moment. Makes their snide pieces on others who actually bring out the truth seem likes the last desperate acts of a once proud newpaper dying before us all.
You’ve lost the plot if you are starting to attack the Torygraph for being pro-Labour.
Are the Guidistas becoming paranoid?
The Torygraph a Labour paper? You’ve lost the plot.
May be the Telegraph for once is being “independent”, like Guido?
Excellent Gudio… not that you need it – but I raise a glass to you….
A little taste of one’s own medicine is hardly something to complain about Mr Guido.I look forward to more, of which there will be much, no doubt ;)
Wanted to email the Telegraph and express my disgust. Do they have an email address? All I could find is postal address and phone number. I may try the phone number on Monday, but email is more satisfying and creates a record of the communication. I will certainly be taking anything political I read in the Telegraph with a grain of salt!
“Guido’s “criminality”, which amounts to being arrested drunk four times in forty years, a crime which most Fridays Guido usually gets away with. ”
Is this the same telegraph that forgot to tell its readers, the thousands of teachers, with criminal convictions, including sex offences, detected applying for jobs, were generally given them?
The Department for Children, Schools and Families, has BTW just published advice in relation to ratemyteacher type ’smears’. There are actuallyY kids out there, who describe their PE teachers as ‘lazy’.
I think Ed Balls should give them lessons.
Guido,
The DT doesn’t let ANY comments through from those who are critical of the newspaper. Write anything too robust that they take exception to, and they’ll note your IP and block any future comments. Many have commented about this on the DT blogs.
And now – just take a look – the DT blogs themselves, usually a lively political forum, have collapsed into anodyne piffle about neutering cats and taking photos of sunsets. All the cut-and-thrust of Smeargate that was raging there last week – not a drop today. Iain Martin absent (the one who can be relied on to kick off). Many bloggers comment that the DT has turned round to being a creature of the government spin machine. Even the pathetic NuLab stooges on the DT Blogs have disappeared, as if their presence has been guaranteed to be no longer necessary.
I’m honestly wondering whether the Barclay Brothers have done this? Or who? And why?
I was interested to read the Labourgraph article “Mr Staines, the journalistic equivalent of an arsonist”….
The politicians that Guido exposes are in fact already on fire and the lobby journalists know that. Guido, unlike the Labourgraph and some of its hacks, is not in the pocket of the lobby system. They tend to damp down the fire whereas Guido, quite rightly exposes the flames.
I am actually sad that what I used to consider to be be the most readable and informative newspaper has degenerated into a new labour comic.
I wonder when its few remaining readers will be treated to boobs on page 3 ?
I’m sure I heard someone say that the editor there is thirsty for lewdness.
OK. It’s Sunday morning and that old moderator still hasn’t let my polite but critical comment made yesterday afternoon through.
Even if you don’t believe there’s a dead tree press agenda her to get the bloggers, it does show the slow, dinosaur-like behaviour of the MSN’s on-line presence.
Its’ the internet equivalent of the man walking in front with a red flag.
And I think I do mean Red flag, now I think of it.
Bog lobsters.
Since Conrad Black – the Telegraph has lost it’s way. This ariticle is just the most recent example of why I can’t be bothered to read it anymore. People like Guido, Mark Steyn and Conrad Black are not in the club of bores – so must be punished. People who can’t write, have no creative spark and who did exactly what their mum told them to do are envious of those who have something about them.
Well Done, I loved the Telegraph piece and if I wasn’t already an avid reader and sometimes contributor to the Guido Faukes Blog, curiosity would have got the better of me and by now I would have checked it out to see what all the fuss was about. Unknowingly they have given my favourite political blog a great shot of free publicity whilst at the same time hastening your own demise. I remember the Telegraph as a robust paper that held certain moral standards whether or not you agreed with its politics, but it now appears like nu labour to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
[...] Guido Fawkes last week not only earned him a rather absurd piece of smear journalism in return (which he fielded rather well) but it would appear that Mr Balls is now revealed as the Ernst Stavro Blofeld Bond villain of [...]
The Telegraph appear to have stopped allowing comments on the Guido article
Don’t take it personally. My highly complimentary post hasn’t appeared either.
Checks with the Land Registry have shown that his wife Orla owns at least two properties in London – a house in Clerkenwell and a flat in Wandsworth
How did the telegraph do a reverse lookup on the land registry? The land registry will let you mark a piece of land and find out who owns it: sensible enough, as it lets an interested party find out who to talk to about that land. However, it doesn’t let you put in a name and find all the land that person owns (as far as I can tell). To do that would require access to the database itself. Who then, answered these “checks” made by the Telegraph?
I would be very worried if any Tom, Dick or Harry can just walk up to the Land Registry and find out what I own.
I read the Telegraph everyday, I thought ’so fucking what to all the stuff you did and the experiences you have had, much more interested in the public service you are doing today’.
[...] As far as Guido is concerned they have behaved abysmally. They tipped off Downing Street with details of a politically serious story, publishing a spoiler that might as well have had Damian McBride’s byline (it didn’t mention him), they then alone of any newspaper in the world published a hatchet job of a profile. [...]
The interesting thing is that the “rebuttal” doesn’t actually claim that anything in the article is incorrect.
I love the reading the Telegrass, me. Dirt, I mean, salt of the earth.
The fact that you’re still “intensely proud” of having actively supported the Nicaraguan contras in the 80s tells me all I need to know about you. I’m genuinely shocked. You disgust me.
