+++ LabourHome : Busted Ballot Box at Labour HQ +++
If this is correct it is stunning:
Labourhome has learned that the E&T Ballot Box with the broken seal was in fact being stored in a cupboard at Labour’s Victoria Street HQ at the time.
Furthermore, the ballot papers inside were torn up.
With both an active, high-level, Georgia Gould campaign and an active Unite campaign led by Charlie Whelan, operating against Gould, it will be almost impossible to nail down a likely culprit for this vandalism.
Hat-tip : LabourHome
After Glenrothes no surprises there then.
there is a shocker of a poll on Labourhome right now too:
http://www.labourhome.org/story/2009/4/17/101614/262
Greatest Labour Leader?
BROWN LOSES WITH 2% COMPARED TO MICHAEL FOOT ON 20%!!!
Even an absolute genuis should have the self awareness to consider the fact that 22 year olds know fuck all. Utter, utter twats.
Hilarious but to see the answer one must vote so naturally I voted Foot to up his ratings so that the comparisons can be made with Labours (then pre brown) most unpopular leader.
Oswald Mosely was tipped for future Labour leader in the late 1920′s. he was their blue eyed boy at the time.
bit like Blair in the early 1990′s
Whenever I mention this to a Labour member they just don’t want to know.
Hm,
odd that.
Explains the cosiness between Blair and F1 then…
Wonder if Blair ever got invited to Moseley’s orgies?
Isn’t this on a par with
“What is your favourite disease? – Would you rather suffer from:
a) Leprosy
b) Syphilis
c) Bowel cancer
d) Cholera
e) Ebola fever
f) Rabies?”
Michael Foot now 29%, McTwat 1%
I demand a recount.
There must be some mistake
Michael Foot is now on 30%! Michael foot… the man who famously said of Oswald Mosely…
“No rising star in the political firmament ever shone more brightly than Sir Oswald Mosley. Since by general assent he could have become the leader of either the Labour or the Conservative Party. What Mosley so valiantly stood for could have saved this country from the Hungry Thirties and the Second World War”.
Hahahahahaha!
I think the biggest surprise is Miss Gould is 22.
She can not possibly have enough real life experience to be an MP.
Oh hold on. She is the daughter of a friend of Tony Blair. That’ll be why Charlie Whelan is agin her.
Same old Labour.
Keep an eye on labourHome comments on the Ballot box saga. Ignoring postings by known anti-Labourites, There is gloom and despair thoughout.
apparently I understand that Benns grandaughter is standing at 17 FFS!!
Well it’s a bit like making a 27 year old head of VAT Strategy at HM C&E, oh, that’ll be Mc Snide then……
@81
Pleased that she can stand at 17ish Any idea when she will be able to walk and talk??
The govt is considering various ways to increase their vote.
Questionaire
Do you think the Govt should consider giving the embryos of Indigenous British People the vote or just continue aborting them at an increased rate in govt Extermination centres. ( 7.2 Million since 1970 )
Should the EU increase the rate of Immigration into and Emigration of Brits out of the country, or, introduce legislation to have all Indigneous British babies forcibly incinerated at birth.
Labour candidate so probably unable to do either
Labourhome report;
‘But it has been mired in controversy since it was taken over by the central party machine, sparking complaints of interference in favour of non “local” candidates.
Sitting MP John Austin, who is retiring, lodged a formal complaint with Mr Collins over alleged rule breaches by campaigners encouraging local members to sign up for postal votes.’
Fraud is done in public and we still seem defenceless, UN oversight for the GE!!
What do you expect from unr4eformed communists – democracy?
Blair passed his invite to Brown.
The photos are available on the internet. They involve a soiled nappy and a rocking horse.
Christ almighty. That story is actually chilling.
Still, when you see the effort the metropolitan New Labour elite go to to get their children into the best schools and universities, the Erith scandal makes perfect sense.
indeed
and why are they now being destroyed to cover up a possible crime?
Makes you wonder how much daddy knows about whom and what Resigned disappeared and came back as a lord.
Was this election straight out of the Robert Mugabe handbook on how to conduct elections?
Where do you think Mugabe got the idea in the first place?
Labour are scum!
And I was just about to post this link as exemplifying waht was wrong with Labour:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/iain_martin/blog/2009/04/18/selection_row_a_glimpse_of_labours_future
Even though it is from the Labourgraph it hints at the unspoken problem of ‘the project’
A first glimpse of the total civil war that will erupt in what is left of the Labour party after the next election. It’s gonna be nasty!
Popcorn anyone…
Labour cannot even be trusted to look after their own selection ballots now, never mind a General Election…oh dear oh dear. Embarrassment.
Give the whistle blower who found out a lordship. More deserving than some I could mention.
Rumour of an amazing Poll in the Independent on Sunday.
Labour in third place!!!
Tories 48%
Labour 20%
LD’s 21%
Melt down here we come. I wish.
Oh please please please let this be true….
I’m sorry for what happened.
I am patiently waiting for the phone call.
If this correct I hope the fan is about to get very dirty.
Bullshit !! this man is always posing bullshit like this !
Its a wind up.
Maybe this is the reason why Brown apologised for Smeargate. If private polls have given McGlobal a similar result then the Hunt knows his days are numbered.
After spinning the G20 £100bn as £1 trillion, I think we can rename Brown’s G20 (dead cat) bounce as a dog.
How’s the portfolio Guido?
Don’t get your hopes up. Labour will take a small hit for this I am sure but the core vote will still keep the numbers up.
maybe a drop of a 1 point perhaps but I would expect little more at this stage. Wait for the budget next week and then see when the truth finally sinks in.
20%?
I see Labour have been stuffing the ballot boxes again.
That’s as maybe. It just means them tearing up closer to 48% of votes. Bless them
Oh daddy daddy daddy, can I please please please have a NuLab seat in parliament, please please please ask Uncle Tony, Emily and Cassandra will be like just soooooo green.
yeah
I see you understand.
Well no-one else will give you a job so I’ll see what I can do.
A proxy for the ongoing feud between Brown and the Blairites. But this is just internal Labour party ‘democracy’ – a squabble over a ‘safe’ seat; God only knows what lengths they will go to to scam the next General Election.
I think that with the built in majority that the current constituency boundaries give the labour party, added to the rampant vote fraud that we can now expect. That labour have already secured 10% share of the vote, before a single vote has been cast.
They can win the election with far fewer votes than the tories. Therefore whatever the result actually is on the night, it will probably have a built-in 10% buffer.
Well if the last 3 elections are anything to go by Labour needs between 20.8% and 31.4% of the vote to maintain a majority. Doesn’t matter if the Tories win every single remaining seat.
The Tories on the other hand need between 34.4% and 128.8% of the vote (yes I know, not actually possible, but it’s just a measure of just how much more they need to do to actually be in a position to win an election)
So depending on who luck sides with (or who’s controlling the postal vote) Labour already has a clear 13.6% advantage over the Tories.
Banana Republic indeed
For those that are wondering, that’s based on:
% of seats / % of vote for 1997, 2001, 2005
Labour 63.4/43.2 62.5/40.7 55.2/35.3
Tory 25/30.7 25.2/31.7 30.7/32.3
and just to show why FPTP doesn’t work
Liberals 7/16.8 7.9/18.3 9.6/22.1
Of course with such a difficult matter to investigate the Home Secratary will call in the Police to look into it, oh no, no Torys to smear and the protection of democracy is not on the agenda.
G Brown as Stalin.
Nu Liebour as the Party.
You couldn’t make it up!
I would imagine a more accurate Comparision, would be Screaming Lord Sutch, and The Raving Looney Party.
W.W.
No, he actually did some good for British politics. Personally I think he would have made a great MP.
Remember, it was Screaming Lord Sutch who got the law passed making seatbelts in the backs of cars compulsory.

How long before African nations are sending election oversight teams to the UK ?
Dont know about that but Charity workers from Pakistan are now operating in Glasgows East end !
Could be as soon as June. From euobserver.com:
“The Pan-African Parliament is in talks with the EU on sending monitors to the European elections in June, in a project that could see Zimbabwean politicians oversee voting in the UK.
The South Africa-based institution, which is the parliamentary wing of the African Union, agreed details of a monitoring mission with European Parliament officials last week.”
Yeah, the Zimbabwean’s could learn a thing or two about ballot rigging here.
So this is why Gordon likes to keep handing our cash to Mugabe and co.
Vandalism is a strange word to use.
Yes indeed. I paused at that as well.
Most peculiar choice of word.
Well it must have been a big boy that dun it and then ran away then.
Actually vandalism is a most accurate summation when you think about it?
Tearing up election papers tears a huge hole right through our entire democaratic process which is what Nu Labour have been doing sice 1997.
Perhaps wanton vandalism is more apt if you prefer.
Is whelanism a word by any chance and if not why not?
Erith and Thamesmead are shitholes……they make Glasgow East look positively desirable!
The very fact this is one of Labour’s safest seats tells me all I need to know about the thoroughly charming constituency
There is a large Nigerian community there – so Labour is trying to make them feel at home with all this corruption.
p.s I represent Prince OObboowonguu who would like to donate a share of a diamond mine to you as you are so tustwortee…
It is ZanuLiebore, white black and brown, but mostly white, who have torn up the voting papers.
Most immigrants come to UK to earn an honest living, if that is still possible.
You have mentioned an internet scam, what has that to do with ballot rigging?
linda smith (of happy memory) said that although erith wasn’t twinned with anywhere it had a mutual suicide pact with dagenham
Nulab need shitholes to feed off.
That’s why they create them.
I know a few people in the East End of Glasgow. They do the best they can with what they have got.
Lots of 1 man businesses scraping a living as best they can in a relatively impoverished area.
LABOUR NEED DEPENDENCE
That is the main difference between Labour and the SNP in every respect.
DEPENDENCE OR INDEPENDENCE.
Labour are at best deleterious parasites leaching the underprivileged especially in Scotland.
I’m voting SNP this time – have never been a supporter but I have to admit they have proven their cred over the last couple of years and they are only party in Scotland that can hurt NuLabour very badly indeed.
They will help the lanndslide in UK by starving NuLabour of valued seats,
thereafter the new Conservative Govt have no need to curry favour with the Scots at all.
And can we blame them ??
ps. I’m in one of those very safe Labour seats ! (unfortunately for me)
then get out and do something about it. Anything that might help but one thing not to do is sit there in what you think is a safe seat.
Raus!!!!
The stench from the Walking Dead is growing -

In true Zanu equal opportunities fashion all the five candidates were women.
Don’t forget to pull your rip-cord after the parachute opens, Georgia. No, that’s not the rip cord you dozy slapper
Hey, it’s not like I’am some kind of air head like that Stephanie, who’s dad give her that really great Ginza Tanaka handbag. It’s really cool to be political these days, I’ll make speeches and stuff, not boring ones like all those old men make, but really cool stuff like about Brad Pitt who’s really dreamy.
Don’t forget all the gweeny stuff too Georgie. All those howwid poor people in Erith and Thamesmead have to taxed out of their summer holidays if we’re going to, you know, save the World for our grandchildewen and stuff.
Oh Georgie – I am so pleased for you, if you win I’ll see if I can get Peaches & Pixie Geldof to DJ at your victory party.
Guess what ? Daddy got me a job at the Telegraph so I will speak to my boss Felicity ( who I think has a thing for me ) to do a ‘at home’ piece for their Sunday Magazine.
p.s Can you make sure your constituty home is one of those posh riverside flats away from the riff raff ?
Dad says I have to go on the hustings and shake hands with people who smell and don’t have a very big clothes allowance. Don’t know where this place is, but Dad said he’d drive me down there, wasn’t very keen but he said we could go shopping afterwards.
I have to say things like ‘it started in America’ and that the Tories don’t do anything and stuff like that.
I left some dog shit in there too.
- Ballot Box Vandal
presumably you were trying to spruce it up a bit.
The dog shit is cleaner and smells better than the rest of the contents.
Erith is a wonderfull place the dusmen come here

How much for these ballot papers. I got three thousand. Can’t spend so nobody wants.
This corruption started in Ameyrika mr speaker
No, Glenrothes I think!
yes it did and I have proof they’ve been at this for years…….who fancy’s a riot if these incompetent fuckwits try and swick the vote? This will end in civil disobedience and perhaps even a few of the 646 corrupt idiots getting strung up, anarchy is but a few steps away.
If these muppets were’nt still in charge of this country, this would be funny, but I’m starting to find all this a bit worrying!
There will be no whitewash….
No whitewash? Have New Labour run out of Hutton’s?
It’s old news Gweeds – yes it’s stunning, reprehensible, actionable even but these are the things people need to know which aren’t reported. I hope you realise that you’ve turned into something of a ‘tourist hot-spot’. Good for you; keep it going.
Quick Jacqui, arrest a Tory MP!
Quote of the day: Labourhome
More stuffed than a dodgy election box.

oh woopsie daisy how did that happen snigger snigger
22 is just too young to become an MP anyway..
She should go and get some life experience before trying to get a seat.
hell man, does that mean she has to stand up all the time, like on the tube, innit?
22 years old, they really are continuing to take the piss out of the electorate aren’t they? Despite the avalanche of shit flying toward them, they just keep on going, they just don’t care and are just too out of touch and just too stupid and yet contemptuous of the public to care what anyone might think of putting a 22 year old in Parliament (I doubt she is of the caliber of Pitt).
Proof further of two things (1) If they are prepared to cheat themselves with ballot box fiddles akin to something you’d find in Zimbabwe, but for which ZaNuLabour now have proven form, what does that suggest for the next GE – Christ we might need election monitors called in.
(2) That Labour voters will indeed vote for a turd if it has a red rosette, which tells us that indeed a form of citizenship/qualification to vote test needs introduced to weed out the mentally weak or unproductive people who are defrauding the taxpayer by simply filling an X in on a bit of paper which then licenses a bunch of crooks to steal money from us to give to them.
This is just like not so untriue, I am of the calibre of Pitt, we are just like really really good soul mates, we could have been the next cool couple (eat your heart out Posh and Becks), and I mean sub zerooooooo, pity he married that cow Jennifer Aniston.
Life experience….. as in…. get a job or setting up your own business? F-off you Tory for suggesting it! Labour don’t do jobs, we pride ourselves in having bullsh1t qualifications and no experience in the real world.
Yeah, like getting laid maybe?
Any takers?
I have some life experience, Tams and Em and me worked at Closters as chamber maids for a whole season. Did loads of skiing and stuff like that.
Know loads about democracy, did Pol & Hist at Uni, learnt about the Magnum Carter which was signed by the King, who had lost the Holy Grail, but the Templar Knights were going to get it back, they haven’t yet but they will.
Dad says when I get into Parliament which will be soooo coooool, they give you money for a second home, loved Closters so might just get it there.
Tams and Em, if you’re reading this, luvvvv u lotsssss
Fido Barks – Content Warning
good night vienna judging by that video your a Nazi
You better watch out Guido you’ll have those labour list wankers on here condemning you for his views
There was a content warning – not all of us care for Lily Allen after all. Fido’s made a good video – whether you like it or not is your choice. I think it’s well-made, funny and justified.
The person who tore the ballot papers would have left plenty of fingerprint and DNA evidence, unless they were clever enough to have worn gloves, but this is the Labour Party were talking about so they weren’t. I would say the guilty party could be found if anyone really wanted to look hard enough, but of course, they don’t.
rumour has it that there were plenty of slimy green globules on the inside of the box
Who ya gonna call?…..
Last time I saw Lord meddlesome he was covered in slimy green gobules.
Must have been him then.
and a used butt plug
So there’s a use for that DNA database after all……… I see Jackboots is actually a cunning linguist who’s corrupt incompetent bumbling exterior hides an agent of the crown actually trying to highlight the corruption and hypocrisy of our masters and mistresses.
Or not.
The person that broke into the ballot box was probably some working class cleaner, Mam and Dad say the working class are all criminals. We had a cleaner once called Mrs Brewster, Mam sacked her because she stole some really expensive earrings, Mam found them in the car, but Mrs Brewster probably would have stolen them anyway, because the working class are all criminals.
Come round and knock on my door dearie.
I’ve said this before, but it bears saying again. What on earth has happened to this once-honourable party? It used to be a decent and upstanding organisation, right on some things, wrong on others, but principled nonetheless. Look at what it has become, the kind of people it has attracted and are now running it.
As it was a socialist party it was in fact “wrong on some things, wrong on others”… the rest stands.
[...] 18 April, 2009 · No Comments UPDATE1:- Guido has an nteresting take on this one. [...]
Thats what power does to you
Perhaps we need a term limit
You could only have a term limit if you had a Prime Minister elected seperately from the MPs. You can’t put limits on the leadership of individual parties (which is what would do the trick) because they are independent, with their own rules.
I went to Erith once but it was closed…
I was born there, I escaped and am currently a refugee in the South of France.
Not in a particular hurry to get back, either.
Unfortunately VB (Victory over Brown) Day is also WTFHTEN Day (What the fuck have they elected now).

These really are horrible, cannibalistic sub-humandroids, these “Labour” types. They even practise the shafting of each other. Let alone their supposed enemies.
I mean, what are we to make of these people? If indeed they actually are people rather than Orcs?
We must have been asleep on the job either for a very long time, or else we were just not paying attention to what was going on in our universities and colleges.
I think the word you are looking fof is Hyena’s, but these one’s don’t laugh, they are deadly serious.
Like most people at Uni (York, late eighties) I avoided the scumbag politics students with their “No platform”, “Reclaim the night” occupy Heslington Hall (admin building) and other endless bollox.
I had assumed they’d grow out of it
Wow!
Did that place go downhill!
People ought not to be allowed to be MPs until some of the following things have taken place in their lives:-
(1) they have run a business for some time,
(2) they have worked in one for even longer,
(3) they have fought (actively) in the Armed Forces, and been in the situation of having to decide whether to kill others actually for real,
(4) they have a long career in (true) public service such as real doctoring in real places like Huyton.
yes, but then there wouldn’t be any Labour MPs.
wouldn’t be many lib dums either
Great start.
I don’t think we’d want any Labour MPs for, say, about 10,000 years….at least, until it does not matter any more what sodding party the bastards are.
I would also ban Lawyers as they are c UNTS
Any MP in the Treasury would have to have at least some training in economics beyond Das Kapital.
Any MP in the Treasury should at least have some training in economics beyond Das Kapital.
True story – around 8 months ago I was lucky enough to be in a small group who took a talk from Alex Salmond (SNP Leader and ex Chief Economist to RBS). He confided to us that he had real difficulty getting Alastair Darling to understand basis Economics on what he was proposing to them. Frightening really.
And in the likes of France, Germany etc I understand that you aren’t allowed to hold similar office without and advanced degree in a relevant Economics/Finance subject.
Darling is a Lawyer, Brown a History Lecturer who spent ONE year outside civil srvice as a newspaper reporter, otherwise an “Academic”.
Weren’t we all brainwashed as to him being a heavyweight intellectual ?????????
I also heard his Uni thesis was a hoot.
You know what, I think I might just settle for some kind of effective airlock between the executive, legislature, judiciary and media. No more fucking political appointments or revolving doors between one and the other and all officials committed to give the same level of access to any media organisation and not just as special ‘lobby’ favours to their lapdogs.
It would be a start anyway.
Isn’t storing a ballot box at a Labour HQ a bit like leaving your front-door key out where the burglars will find it ? Or have I missed something ?
Now you know where the idea for the “Don’t advertise it ……”reducing crime adverts came from.
Actually its a bit more like the inside man on a bank job “accidently” leaving the keys to the vault lying around, know what I mean !
Within a generation the party that fought in the second world war, the party that shared sorrow, suffering, privation and hardship with ALL of the people of the country vanished.
You’r right.!! This new lot will nik anything.!!
The Zanu/Labour thing was a stab at irony, you couldn’t make this one up and if you did you would be called a liar. ZANU are toast, after electoral meltdown is internal civilwar followed by a split which will put them outpf power for decade (even better make red rag socialism dead as a dodo).
This era should be taught in schools to our kids highlighting what could happen to their homeland if they as future parents ever fall asleep at the wheel like we have.
I hear they have sent for a team of experts from Zimbabwe to ensure fair play.
Truth louder than words the EU already has.
Not for me thank you.
You’re on the wrong website then – does free speech and all that ring any bells?
And, while I’m at it FUCK YOU
how people vote is less important than who counts the votes !
Yes and no – it helps if you can add a whole load of false postal votes in key marginals…not that Labour would do that, oh no, of course not.
Joe Stalin
What have the poor defenceless Orcs done to be compared with New Labour? They can’t defend themselves. However, I will complain to Sauron if there’s any more of this, then you’ll be sorry, see if you won’t.
True, but she would be 37 by the time Even Newer Labour were in with a chance of forming a Government.
‘Nu Improved’ Nulabour whiter than white
Good all the way through to the spin cycle
Not so sure. The next government will have to do some severe cutting to fix this mess. They won’t have the taxes from oil or banks to line the treasury. They will have to preside over some nasties, and the public won’t like it at all. They might be Tory, but they might get just a single term. The problem may take more than 5 years to fix.

Prescott has renamed his website Go Forth….. It’s now called Coming Forth!!
Pass the bubbly!!
Quite apt either way.
Interesting (to anoraks like me anyway) that Labour allows postal votes for its Parliamentary candidate selection procedures.
With Conservative selections, you have to be present in the hall for the whole meeting (no diving out for a pee) to be eligible to vote.
[...] [...]
Labour have previous form on fiddling postal votes: see http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1719968.ece for how they did it in Leeds.
There was also much speculation about the postal votes swung the result in the Glenrothes by-election which took place last year. I’m not sure how many of you are aware that a Northern Ireland based company Opt2Vote was used for their expertise in postal voting. It’s the first time this system has been used in Scotland but it has been used in England.
It appears that Opt2vote is a partner company of Northgate, which hosts Labour sites such as http://www.davethechameleon.com and http://www.labour.org.uk
The Open Rights Group had this to say about Opt2vote:-
“ORG was unable to examine or verify the servers or systems they used in any meaningful sense. While ORG considers that the physical security for the ES&S and Tata locations was reasonable – and very good for the OPT2VOTE location observed – ORG is unable to comment further on the servers. Without more information on the specifications of the systems and clear rules on the access observers could request in pilot situations, ORG was restricted to what the suppliers were willing to offer or what their clients were willing to support. No matter what access was provided, fundamentally the servers are opaque to the human eye. No observer would be able to examine what the server was doing, what data it was sending and receiving or whether problems were occurring, without detailed technical access to the software and its operating system, yet it would be inappropriate and is clearly against guidelines for observers to handle anything to do with the running of the election. Hence ORG must conclude that the servers and their operations were – and will remain in future elections – unobservable.”
The same report says of the Electoral Commission:
“How does DCA or the Electoral Commission know about the extent of electoral fraud when neither of them have kept any statistics nor have undertaken any research on the issue? Is it that, in their obsession with increasing participation at all costs, they have turned a blind eye to the risks of electoral fraud and its consequences on the integrity of our democratic system?”
Do we have to join up the dots?
If they can get her in she may be the only member to remember this government the next time lab con the electorate.
Daddy wouldn’t buy me a bow wow….

Yes dear. I’ve bought you something very special. The desk of a famous Doctor….your mother and I hope it inspires you.
Yes, my dear.

All you need to know about Labour can be summed upon the following sentence Gordon brown wanted Fiona Phillips in the House of Lords.
In leather, latex or PVC?
Well he ‘had’ Mandleson in the Lords didn’t he
Erm, wouldn’t a quick count of the torn ballot papers (assuming they hadn’t been shredded) at least point a finger at the guilty faction….
too easy we are talking abour people that arrest opposition Mp’s
Prescott’s website http://www.gofourth.co.uk/ has announced that he’s to ‘tour’ in the runup to the European Elections. The cheeky fucker is asking for public donations to fund this.
Labour are crooks.
Just looked over at LabourList.org to see what their brave contributors were writting about the Erith ballot box and the Mahon resignation.
Tumbleweed…just tumbleweed. More business as usual from the fuckwits in denial.
I wouldn’t mind all this but every fibre of my south wales born body wants to vote labour. Except its run by a bunch of evil bastards who want power for its own sake not for the good they could do with it.
hold your nose if you have too but just do the right thing and get rid of this corrupt lot
Thamesmead is a circle of Hell. Nothing in Georgia’s background would have prepared her to represent the poor sods who have to live and work there. What does she know, say, about famished two-year-olds who resort to eating frozen peas straight out of the freezer box because their drug-addict mother can’t get it together enough to prepare meals and feed her children. (I didn’t make up this example.)
Not like the 24 year old primary school teacher I know in the East End of Glasgow who buys kids’ shoes at every sale she sees and then discretely fits them to her pupils.
That’s what 50 years of Labour rule has done to Glasgow.
My God, that’s sick! How could any politician ever live with themselves over that?
Hey, what about the Tory ‘do nothings’, if they cared about this, they would have defrosted the peas and heated them up with some fresh mint, and provided some fish, maybe ‘Red Snapper’ and boiled it for four minutes and added a light green sauce, followed by fresh fruit salad with natural yoghurt.
Careful you nearly choked on that
Defection and vote rigging all in one day.
Labour’s in its death throes, and is adopting as many of Mugabe’s tactics as it can.
It won’t do them any good; even with their Mugabe tactics being used they’ll still get kicked out in 2010. If not democratically, then physically by a very very angry mob.
They call it “vandalism” rather than electoral fraud.
That tells you everything you need to know about labour.
if a person lives abroad and they are encouraged to vote and use their vote

1. The BBC will still defend the corrupt regime of the fat one eyed twat because the BBC fears what the Tories might do to them if they get power (like scrap the TV tax for starters)
2. We can probably expect millions of voters (non Labour) to suddenly find they’ve been ‘removed’ from the voting list
3. On polling day we will find that the Police will block streets to polling stations under the orders of a vile overweight woman.
4. In Labour areas Brown will get 120% of the vote
5. Ballot boxes will have been ‘tampered with’
There is NO way this lot in power will go quietly.
You might think this is a joke. It’s not. I used to think it was utter nonsense to think the Government had Dr Kelly killed. Now I really think they did.
“I used to think it was utter nonsense to think the Government had Dr Kelly killed. Now I really think they did”
I’d personally class it as murder, or at the minimum manslaughter; everything the government did was intended to make his life so unbearably stressed that he’d really have no choice but to top himself; when a normal person is put under that much stress by so many people in charge and not given any help by anyone there are very few people on the planet who could survive it. Psychologically, almost anyone else in the same position would have done the same thing. Perhaps the government didn’t physically kill him themselves, but they did deliberately put him into a situation where there was no other way out purely to try and save their own political skin, and for that I’d class it as cold-blooded, pre-meditated murder.
It’s at that stage that labour should have been ejected from power and hung from the lampposts by a baying mob. It was a prelude of things to come.
They Campbelled with his life!
I never believed he topped himself.
Nowhere near enough blood
Good medical evidence stating it was almost impossible to kill yourself by sitting that particular vein
No medical evidence that Kelly swallowed any tablets at all
A man who could not swallow tablets deciding it was his best way out.
Much anecdotal evidence he was NOT suicidal
Who did the post mortem – this Patel guy? Or was it some other ‘Home Office’ pathologist?
Out of interest- shenanigans started LONG before Glenrothes!
The SNP “just” won Glasgow east with a 22% swing.
In fact, without postal votes, they would have obtained circa 40% swing!
THIS is the REAL reason why McSnot is TERRIFIED of the GE!!
“Missing” Glenrothes voting registers-my arse!
This week Labour published a report (by Alan Milburn,I think)complaining about the unfair advantage of internships for students awarded on the basis of who you know.
New Labour are simply beyond parody.
Former SPADs are now in the Cabinet. That says it all. No time for a novice, eh????
Can you confirm whether or not Charlie Whelan’s UNITE is all over this?
Stopping the Bliarite?
Meanwhile.. Polly’s back from Ghana with her buddy Harperson.

She did not want to talk about the week that has passed. but some are questioning the funding that paid for her trip.
Let us just look at what we have had the last few days…
The Government getting the police to investigate an opposition MP for revealing embarrassing facts.
The police trying to find information to connect the head of Liberty with this investigation.
Police assaulting people engaged in legitimate demonstrations against the Government and refusing to identify themselves.
( so we have the police thinking they are above the law, but if they want documents from you i.e. driving licence and you don’t provide it you are in trouble )
A questionable selection victory for Cherie’s mother in-law due to postal votes and now a ballot box being tampered with.
Sod this, I’m off to Zimbabwe.
labour scum
There’s 15% off at B&Q this weekend….
What’s 15% off 88p?
A free filty fillum if you buy in bulk…
Jacquie”s partner thought Wan King was a town in China till she discovered Nulab
This is an A level question isn’t it?
Mmm … a great time to order that patio heater and bath plug.
Miss Gould seems to be pointing a finger:
http://www.labourhome.org/story/2009/4/18/6952/52573
She’d better be sure it was done someone supporting one of the the other candidates, and / or that her supporters weren’t stuffing the ballot box…or she might look silly.
ps
I suspect she’s probably “Ms” Gould
President Robert Mugabe’s mutterings about God-doh Mc Bruin seem to have a vestige of truth.
Mugabe and his people know that he’s a liar, Mc Bruin and the party faithful don’t.
Corruption, sleaze……dishonesty, nepotism, incest, the list goes on and on, why would be surprised that they are manipulating the candidates for the ‘safe’ seats…..
A plague on ALL your houses……..ZaNulabor scum!!!!!!
I missed the story about incest, can you recap this one please….
metaphorically of course, family relationships so closely linked and bringing all to the table of excess…….relationships, incestum, in power and privilege, everything they said that they would not do……..
Why oh why is no-one interested in my pension any more? All this trivia about Labour election mal-practice (ie fraud), who-you-know-not-how-good you-are selection processes, smears etc. Doesn’t anyone want my pension back?
Looking forward to tomorrow’s papers – more labour politicos in trub (they’re worse than any bankers I’ve met), more expenses fiddling, more hypocricy etc etc.
Let’s hope Ms Smith and Ms Harman feature again – I always enjoy the silly things they say.
Labour are and you will see when you hear next weeks budget. Not good
Good point – I think I’ll move abroad on Tuesday then. Hope they haven’t seen that clever ploy coming.
In the meantime, good luck everyone as you try to hold a fair election with Mugabebrown in charge of proceedings.
There are only around 300 people “qualified” to vote in the seat so it is incomprehensible as to how they have fucked it up. So to resort to “fixing” postal votes & then tampering with the ballot box = criminal charges.
Not to mention imposing a candidate. It stinks to high heaven.
Friggin’ in the Rigging
Obviously Guido (supported by the intelligence community and the tory party) hacked into the victoria Street HQ, shredded the ballots, hypnotized alice mahon to turn her coat, ran up jacqui spliff’s Ann Summers account then charged it to the taxpayer.
Shame on you Guido!
Seriously, folks, what the hell can we do to stop the next general election being fixed? I’m not talking about fantasies like string the bloody lot up. If we don’t do something sensible we’ll be stuck with this bunch of half-witted second-rate incompetent crooks for another five years.
Not a lot if they control the postal ballot and the 100,000′s of ghost voters ……
In the Guardian after the general election of 1992 there was a very good analysis by a Manchester Uni maths professor of the very slight percentage margins in the figures across key constituencies between winning and losing.
He seemed to be suggesting if you want to fiddle the figures it wouldn’t be difficult and would be hard to spot.
UN observers the ONLY way!
Remember Glenrothes, where Nueliebour “lost” the voting registers??
Well, my morris dancing friends, this NIGHTMARE is heading south to a voting station NEAR YOU!!!
hahahahahahahaha!
AND THERE WILL BE F…ALL YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!
Employ Robert Mugabe’s observers, can’t fail.
Not a lot, if they control the ballot papers of 100.000′s of postal voters…whoever they may be……
How has something like this been left around for people to poke and pry at? Madness!
Naughty! Naughty!
It just goes to show that these crooked bastards are so bent that theyeven cheat themselves

BREAKING NEWS…
CIVIL WAR ABOUT TO BE DECLARED IN THE LABOUR PARTY…
ENDS…
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ray Collins, General Sec of Labour Party
They told you so….
Measures introduced to improve choice for voters, such as postal and electronic voting, increase the risk of fraud, according to the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust study.

Executive Summary
Purity of Elections in theUK
Key Findings
• Experienced election observers have raised serious concerns about how well UK election
procedures measure up to international standards.
• There have been at least 42 convictions for electoral fraud in the UK in the period
2000–2007.
• Greater use of postal voting has made UK elections far more vulnerable to fraud and
resulted in several instances of large-scale fraud.
• There is widespread, and justifiable, concern about both the comprehensiveness and the
accuracy of the UK’s electoral registers – the poor state of the registers potentially
compromises the integrity of the ballot.
• There is a genuine risk of electoral integrity being threatened by previously robust
systems of electoral administration having reached ‘breaking point’ as a result of
pressures imposed in recent years.
• Public confidence in the electoral process in the UK was the lowest inWestern Europe in
1997, and has almost certainly declined further as a result of the extension of postal
voting.
• The benefits of postal and electronic voting have been exaggerated, particularly in
relation to claims about increased turnout and social inclusion.
• There is substantial evidence to suggest that money can have a powerful impact on the
outcome of general elections, particularly where targeted at marginal constituencies
over sustained periods of time.
• Outside of ministerial circles, there is a widespread view that a fundamental overhaul of
UK electoral law, administration and policy is urgently required.
This isn’t a direct response to the blog feature it is appended to. However, I was reflecting on the blog as whole, and on the present Labour government, and how I have avidly followed politics since, in 1952, as a child aged seven, I would devour the dear old News Chronicle. How I still miss the News Chron, it’s clear, lucid house style, outstanding reporters like James Cameron, and an entrancing cartoon strip which followed the adventures of Colonel Pewter. I wish I could read a Cameron article on the McPoison affair.
Anyway, reflecting on the ups and downs of politics since the early ’50s, I just perceive one outstanding fact about the present situation: Labour is not fit to govern. The same fate has always befallen Labour administrations, from those of the paranoid Wislon onwards – sooner or later, they simply become rotten, one way or another, and utterly unfit for purpose. You might say the same has applied to Conservative administrations. Well, yes, but the rottenness at the end of a Labour government’s time seems, when I look back, to always be worse than that pursuant to the dying dog days of the Tories. The Tories never leave the country in as parlous a state as Labour manages to do, in moral, economic, social, and just about any other term you care to mention.
One thing is certain: this Labour administration is, to all intents and purposes, finished, and the sooner it leaves office the better it will be for the nation.
It is unlikely that we will have another Labour government following their removal at the next General Election. The SNP will wipe out many Labour seats, Labour will lose marginal seats as a result of losing some of its supporters to the BNP and other marginal parties in a number of regions and the Conservatives are likely to reduce the total number of constituencies and re-distribute voters once in government.
Just thought I’d try and cheer you up!
Are you censoring the Labour diehards, Guido, or have Ambrose Silk and his deluded little friends stopped posting?
They don’t work weekends.
As I say in my blog, things are falling apart for labour, is it a mole, is it infighting between factions, or is it just people are sick of the corruption?
Whatever it is, it is going to be a problem for labour…fun though
wanker
They way things are going at the next election we will no doubt find, much like Communist Russia used to, that 99.9% of the population will have voted & 99.8% will have been for Labour..
Electoral fraud is their only hope & we know how good they are at that
Seems after the disappearance of the election registers from Glentothes that Labour believe they can do what they like even in their internal elections when it comes to postal votes.
Its only a matter of time before the whole Glenrothes story hits the fan and this will seem like tea party for Gordon Brown when that one comes out.
Go on then call the police in lets have some searches….. which Conservative member are they gonna blame this one on then?
This stinks to high hell of being a fix and shows how democratic they are…. ya think it was McGabe land.
Noses in troughs, dirty tricks and now this, whatever are they going to get up to next New Labour are pure evil ?
We know why it was tampered with don’t we and if ‘THEY’ had their way we know who’ll win…..
…. gee this lot thinks we’ve come down the Thames on a Cream Cracker.
[...] Safe is a Safe Labour Seat? The recent shenanigans in the Erith & Thamesmead Labour Party have made this weekend a busy one for my friend and [...]
