doesn’t sound like much of a story even in your own words, Guido :)
Oh well, over egged and pudding springs to mind.
Oh, and you’re an ugly bugger :)
Well, sounds like attempted suppression of dissent to me. We’re becoming more like Zimbabwe every day.
Look at you in your suit and clean shirt, Guido. And so calm and civilised! I think Brillo likes you, and I think you know it. Just WHAT is going on between you?
fuck of you twat
It started in America
Ed Balls is fucked.
Excellent!
If only – it appears that it started in Paddington with the attempted smearing of the survivors of the rail accident because they ‘were Tories’.
Yup and the chap behind it Dan Corry is the same Dan Corry who is Gordon’s No 10 Head of Policy.
What a coincidence, not.
… and it will end in your defeat.
Hello Derek!
Anom 3.56
London WAS the biggest financial centre in the World. Our invisible earnings have made the difference between riches and poverty. Do you really believe that after this fiasco London will remain the financial centre of Europe, let alone the World?
Hi 329 from Anon 3:56
Yes, it will stay the same, because both centres are run on the same rules.
And anyway, those who count (financiers and their political clients) have already been protected.
The banks are getting their money back from the taxpayer.
The politicians will have sinecures all lined up; how else do you explain Mr Blair’s huge speaking fees, Mr Major’s directorships, etc. etc.
By the way, both US and UK governments had the chance to restructure the financial services sector while they were weak.
They both ducked the issue
Yellow livered, spineless cowards, the whole bleedin’ lot of them. They just hate any intelligent opposition as they cannot deal with it; so what’s their answer to this? Suppress any opposition! They really are thick aren’t they.
Keep up the good work Guido!
I wouldn’t say Labour were ‘thick’ in that respect. Economically certainly but in terms of ‘establishing the media narrative’ they have enjoyed a free run since 1997. Indeed since before 1997.
And it has worked. Any competing message has been erased from our TV’s. History is rewritten in real time such that the total failures of Brown’s economic policy and his FSA resulting in banking meltdown and the biggest recession in 80 years is paraded by the BBC as ‘a failure of Thatcherism/ capitalism’.
You just can’t buy that kind of coverage. Well, actually you can. 3.5bn a year buys you that kind of coverage. Beamed into your house and payed for by threats of extortion and imprisonment.
There is a story there for any investigative journalist. Who had all the handy 1980’s archive footage already set up the day it was announced that the banks were collapsing and the government would be forced to act? Surely any independent observers first visit to the archives would be to exhume footage of Brown proclaiming his brilliance at creating the FSA followed by several clips of Brown bragging about his economic policy ‘no more boom and bust’ etc.
I meant ‘thick’ in the sense that they’ve been caught out fiddling but they just carry on fiddling (as before, if not worse) as though we are all stupid and spent last week in a coma!
Surely, JGM2, you aren’t suggesting that the entire world banking collapse is due to the British Labour Party. Sure, their actions might make it more uncomfortable for us than some other countries, but the root problem was the discovery that those who can trough, will trough. Greed isn’t quite as good as it was claimed.
Black Flag,
the collapse WAS partly due to the British Labour Party.
London is the biggest financial centre in the world.
Gordon was in charge of the regulation of said market.
Gordon set up a process and structure to manage it.
Gordon (it appears) set the structure up so it was toothless while saying otherwise.
Banks go crazy, system starts to fail.
Press talk about CDOs and their impact.
Gordon reads the paper, same as anyone else, and still does nothing.
Yes he is to blame.
He adds fuel to the fire with ridiculous PFIs………
194 Toothless and Spineless.
McDoom ordered the FSA to softpedal the possible drawbacks vis ‘Light Touch Regulation’
I haven’t had so much fun since the Odious Hain got his comeuppance – don’t suppose you got anything on the Ponce (sorry Prince!) of Darkness so that we could enjoy another resignation flounce from Government!!!???
185 yes in great part it is the fault of this government because the banks have done things here under the FSA that no where else in world, including America, would that got away with
Much of the securitization debacle is the child of the City of London because much of it was devised here & not as Gordon would have us believe in America
Aw Degsy. And talking of ugly buggers have you looked in a mirror recently? Even the diseased rat on your face looks like he’s had enough. Why can’t you look more like your picture on Labourlist?
Oscar, what’s it like sniffing Drapers shit every day? Nice?
Labour are so used to controling the news that they can’t get thier heads round the idea that they might be losing those grip on things. The govt and probably now Parliament is past it’s sell by date. Slowly but inexorably we are heading towards political melt down. What will emerge after will be either brutal and totalitarian of a fully balanced and new republic with the Westminster turned into a museum. And all because of the vanity of this government who will not admit that. They are finished and call an election while the system can still re new itself…
Sorry shot the typos this frigging iPhone keypad..
They are very much to blame and a few of us saw it coming years ago but were ignored.
Now they are sending MPs off on their hols for three months – less chance of a Vote of No Confidence, apart form disguising the fact they are just twiddling their thumbs.

oscar old boy,
er, could you just stand still for a moment while I slip this noose around your neck.
you are a new labour war and occupation party wanker and you are going to hell you fucking c’unt.
power is slipping away from arseholes like you and you have completely lost control of the narrative. your useless party full of twats has damaged the finances and reputation of this country, possibly beyond repair, yet here you are, telling Guido what is or isn’t a story.
you fucking spastic.
Guido,
Do a data protection access request and get the data they hold on you. It should give you the Fax.
You’ll know what they said then
Guido,
Your appearence, presentation and communication skills have moved forward in leaps and bounds, however i find it hard to take any lectures from you on political freedoms until you cease to block certain political groups from your blog.
Your blog is fascist and totalitarian in its methods, let’s be clear about that.
Odd that. You haven’t been blocked yourself, despite your abusive language. Could we have some bona fide examples please?
Oi One Party, this blog can only be fascist if it aims for power.
F.O.A.D.
Not so! This blog is affiliated to the Librarian Aliance.
So QUIET PLEASE!
You are T** I****** and I claim my five shillings reward!
oops orrcks 176
Don’t go there, don’t want a TI blogwar over here FFS.
The blog is private property. If Guido doesn’t want it to become a propaganda platform for BNP supporters then that’s his business. There’s nothing to stop you setting up your own blog (which nobody will read).
Interesting replies from the window licker Guido fanclub.
153
I have posts blocked, if i gave examples, they would be blocked, the who point of my post, back of the class.
154
Considering the blog has political bias i think it counts but for arguments sake lets refer to it as fascist methods shall we say?
242
To allow fair uncensored political comment does not make for a propaganda platform, certainly no less so than a `propaganda platform` for the Conservatives, Labour EU parties and any other non proscribed party including the in comparison irrelevant, zero support Libertarians.
To suggest overwise is clearly about the most crass thing you could have come out with.
Yes the Blog is private property, it is also hypocritical!
The blog will not be able to ignore certain fast rising parties for much longer if it wishes to remain relevant or sustain political comment credibility.
It is already a victim of hypocracy and the eventual destruction of credibility that this brings.
These parties will rise regardless of Guido’s position, to ignore them is to create an elephant in the room and the blog becomes more preposterous with each passing day, not a problem for certain political parties, more a problem for Guido’s credibility and political freedom of expression.
380,
you are a BNP nonce and you are not welcome here.
fuck off nonce.
“Your blog is fascist and totalitarian in its methods”
I post shite all the time and my stuff gets displayed, so your stuff must be *really* shite!
The solution is simple, go and start your own shite blog and stop fucking whining here.
yeah it’s perfectly reasonable for the government to think it has the right to tell a broadcaster who it is allowed to have on its shows. You people are just dumb. the shoe will be on the other foot one day. Then you might remember that an independent media is there for a reason. Now fuck off to Zimbabwe where you’ll be right at home.
The Beeb has been keeping Nikolai Tolstoy off its political debates for years.
They must be afraid his obvious intelligence and internationalism will make UKIP look good!
Perhaps you’d like to put up your photo for comparison Oscar? :)
Guido, I thought you looked very smart & came across well – keep with the nicely pressed suit and ironed shirt, looks like you mean business & are a professional rather than an anarchistic nerd (which is how Ms Blears and friends try to portray you). If they’re trying to ban you – they’re obviously running scared.
I called them…
The government trying to prevent a programme which criticises them, being shown by the state broadcaster, whose licences we are forced by law to buy, not a story?
It’s a story in itself IMHO.
These nulab scum have no shame.
thats china to a tee…no pun intended
It is a VERY important story. When Press Offices get worried you are WINNING. Good on you Guido.
What a shower of shits this party is now – so sad.
They just can’t help themselves can they? Don’t they realise that any attempt to manipulate this story just gives the story more weight? Don’t they realise that whoever steps up to defend Brown will become part of the story?
Ed, Liam, Guido and others have pissed in the tank marked ’spin’? That means your time will be better spent checking the Local Council websites for job vacancies.
They tried to ban Guido on the assumption that it would NOT get out into the public domain………………….. silly sods never learn
What was the complaint?
syphillis…hopefully
Shooting the messenget eh?
Silly really, it just makes another story!
On what grounds?
Too right, we spittle drooling plastic stalinists have a reputation to maintain y’know. Oh someone please shoot me, I feel like the humans in Alien 2, cocooned by the monster, pleading for death.

I think all the casual clothes are spattered in Guinness and are at the cleaners.
Guido is entitled to all the Guinness and Margaux he wants, for services to democracy.
I have to say, Guido, that this entire episode has provided some of the best entertainment I have had in years. Keep up the good work, sir.
The Tory Press Office will presumably be doing a tit-for-tat complaint about Nick Robinson, then.
Presumably you missed NR performance on Today….he appeared somewhat disbelieving of Balls’ “Mr” McBride interview the previous week…..
I bet! That, I would assume, is a feeble charade to keep out off the dole when his masters bite the bullet
Tony – your touching naiveté is a tonic, Sir!
Good work Guido – keep at ‘em – do NOT rely on the Tory Press Office, please.
The Tories don’t “do” tits, unless we’re talking about Nadine’s one night stands?
The largest breasts are all on the Labour benches at the moment, Julian, it has to be admitted.
Presumably you are referring to Tom “let me at the trough” Watson’s D cups?
I think a complaint about the number of recent appearances by Derek Draper would be more relevant. The BBC started wheeling him out last year during the party conference season and, in the run up to McBridegate, he seemed to be all over the TV like the proverbial rash.
Worse than that – how did he get on Radio2 (Steve wright) and almost radio4 ( womans hour) flogging his book.
This almost sounds a cliche, but in general up to now i’ve thought a lot of the anti-bbc stuff made you all sound like conspiracy loons, but I’m beginning to wonder – not so much about an all out BBC-conspiracy, but more an over-cosy relationship (or perhaps a rather less cosy parasite-on-parasite relationship)
On the other hand for political stuff (and he got on channel 4), I’d have thought its fair enough if a tv station phones up and asks the labour party for someone to put their point across. Pity- it’d be like phoning up for a cab and you get a lada turning up.
And…
Oh my god! I followed your link and it took me to some site displaying what I can only describe as a Nazi youth emblem.
What the fuck?
The link is to LabourList.
How desperate that they are having to trick people into visiting there!
Spelling improves too, when the Liebour yuff take over the site:
“Engaging the Black and Asian Minority Ethinc Community”
PS Miller has his own personal website and his profile lists all his blogs – labourlostit is not there even though miller is “deputy editor”
Unproud Miller?
“Engaging the Black and Asian Minority Ethinc [ethnic] Community”.
Why? Are they reluctant to get married and start families? Some would say that is a good thing. I think small families are an entirely natural consequence of high living standards, and so ethnic communities should be encouraged to work rather than engage, so it need not be left to AGW eugenics to solve their problems.
Miller you ugly little fuckwit Hoon! I was wondering how long it’d be before you had the balls to use your real name on here. Still in a job then?
So what
Anything other than the stated position of the government is clearly extremism and should not be tolerated on the public airwaves.
It is all just tittle-tattle, I tell you.
OMG !!

Why didn’t Andrew Neil mention this?

Neil did well to invite Guido on his show. Mandleson had told the BBC that Smeargate
was over.
He questioned him respectfully ( Nicky Campell called Guido a fascist ) together with establishment figures ex-chancellor Lamont and ex-Blair aide Mathew Taylor.

yup, my post got pulled for simply stating that I didn’t believe that no one would have sent him a text at least regarding McBride. He’s the BBC’s top political journalist ffs, the moment the McBride story broke his boss should have been contacting him right there and then. Instead he says “I knew nothing about it”. Is he taking lessons from Collins and Whelan?
No real need to post on the BBC site/blogs (or any other site where a reasonable post gets zapped if it doesn’t follow the party line i.e. Telegraph). Just post here where far more people will see it anyway including, of course, the vast majority of those who would visit the BBC site.
They certainly view the term “House Rules” every bit as uniquely as they do their daily commuting arrangements.
I was modded off for asking why he didn’t give us an essay called ‘What I did on my holidays’ and suggesting it would have been more to the point than his post. No profanities, nothing. Just that.
Still, looking back, I can see that I was being outrageously fucking offensive.
By the way, Mr Miller – would you hold these two wires, please?
I am starting to wonder how much “moderation” is going on by the use of the “complain about this post” tag.
Great way for the politically inspired to clear out inconvenient comments.
How on Earth do Labour think that they’re not making themselves look like twats when they do something like this?
1. they daren’t look in the mirror
2. they’re too arrogant to believe they could be wrong
3. none of them have a conscience
4. none of them have a brain
5. they’re fucked
I think you’re being a bit hard on lefties, there, RavingMad.
Most of them start out with a conscience. The arrogance only comes later as a defence mechanism to cope with the appalling obvious failures of socialism, wherever it is applied. Most of the lefties I’ve met over the years have also been fairly (sometimes frighteningly) intelligent, just with an inability to look in the mirror and acknowledge that their central core belief MIGHT BE mistaken.
Most of them start out just wanting to change the world for the better. They see problems around them (eg. children dying from starvation in Africa) and decide that they must help right these wrongs through socialism, which they have been indoctrinated into, via a state propaganda system in Britain which has been poisoning minds for over a hundred years, particularly via the teaching profession. The inability to see that the socialist policies, say, of Robert Mugabe, are what really lies behind this starvation, is something which is hidden behind twenty years of watching the BBC.
But the real problem comes with an attack of cognitive dissonance, which is very difficult to overcome, usually sometime early in adult life.
After a life of accepting brainwashing from state ‘education’ (ie. propaganda) outlets, an core idea has taken hold in their minds that:
Socialism = Goodness (Equation One)
Their entire mental life is based upon this central equation.
However, they then see in their adult lives, that wherever socialism is actually applied, terrible things seem to go happen. They read 1984, and it rings true; they read about the Russian Gulag, and can’t quite believe it; they have a horrible personal experience in the NHS, or at the hands of the police, or with an Inland Revenue tax inspector, a BBC licence fee chaser, or whatever.
So life teaches them a horrible dialectical antithesis that:
Socialism = Evil (Equation Two)
This gives rise to a profound cognitive dissonance, which can only be tackled in one of two ways:
(1) Reject socialism, and seek out education to overcome an entire lifetime of believing in Equation One.
(2) Decide that the evils of capitalism are preventing socialism from working, and that the only solution is even more socialism until capitalism has been killed stone dead.
Very VERY few people take option (1). The cognitive dissonance of breaking over twenty years of neural programming is just too hard to take. So most go for option (2) instead, and become even more determined in their beliefs.
The arrogance and the brainlessness then set in, as defence mechanisms to prevent their mind from collapsing, as it struggles to maintain a belief in Equation One, despite ALL evidence to the contrary.
And yet, as they apply more socialism in their lives, they see that Equation Two seems to be holding ever more strongly, so to keep Equation One going in their increasingly deluded heads, they HAVE TO resort to lies, corruption, force, malevolence, threats, and sometimes even to outright violence, to keep Equation One in its increasingly precarious place.
This is all purely to avoid the inevitable realisation that eventually gets through to most of them (usually too late, after they have retired from being a Labour MP), that socialism really does always give rise to evil, because it is based on force and ignores two intractable problems:
a). Under socialism, everyone wants to be in the boss class and nobody wants to take out the garbage.
b). Because of its destruction of the market, socialism cannot calculate and introduces chaos into every sphere which it touches
So don’t be so hard on these imbeciles, RavingMad. There IS hope for them, if only they are capable of dropping Equation One, and taking up Equation Two. It’s a painful transition, akin to giving up something 10x stronger than heroin.
Yes, most of them won’t make it, and will continue to be utter clots, usually thieving from the rest of us, because “they deserve it for all the hard public service work they do”. But they do have consciences and most of them do have brains. They are just deluded about everything, and are in a constant state of mental turmoil trying to square the circle that socialism works.
You have to feel sorry for the poor loves, really. (Until of course you realise how much they are screwing up your life in their bid to inflict socialism upon you, in order to avoid the pain of this cognitive dissonance.)
As a recovering statist myself, who took twenty years to throw off the total and utter stupidity of socialism, I wish all of them the best of luck to make the transition.
Let us hope that this current bout of the exposition of their lies to the cold hard truth of daylight, helps more of them throw off the Marxoid shackles of their evil twisted religion of inflicting violence, crime, and serfdom upon the rest of us, in their futile neverending bid to build a hopeless socialist nirvana.
But never underestimate them. Socialism is a powerful ideology, and perhaps the most powerful religion that has ever stalked the Earth. It will eventually die out, because the truth will always out.
But if we make the mistake of assuming that ‘none of them have a brain’, we could allow them to flourish for a lot longer yet, before we are rid of the virulent virus of their appalling mental disease.
I mean, just look at Dolly Draper. Look at what cognitive dissonance has done to his facial hair, his greasy locks, his dress sense, and the lies he has to face in the mirror each morning. Would you actually WANT to be Dolly Draper and have to live with all of that cognitive dissonance polluting your mind all day? It must be terrible being him; a real life sentence.
I suppose it’s a shame that the Wright Institute didn’t teach him what ‘Cognitive Dissonance’ meant, when he was in (but not at) Berkeley.
I think you have got it in a (coco)nutshell there, Jack!
Ha ha, Maturing, mate. Common-sense doesn’t grow on trees an ain’t taught in no poncy university, either. Socialists, indeed all politicians have had a serious common-sense by-pass, son. It is a prerequisite to seeking power. End of.
Must motor – common-sense tells me it’s time for a pint.
J. Maturin’s reply includes “Most of the lefties I’ve met over the years have also been fairly (sometimes frighteningly) intelligent”
Unfortunately I’ve met quite a lot whose intelligence was decidely mediocre. The education and social services sector abounds with people who confuse being a regular Guardian reader with being an intellectual.
Christ, you can say that again. The Grauniad seems to have a special attraction for that type of person
I imagine we may expect all sorts of idiosynchratic, aberrant, foolish and nasty behaviour from New Labour until their dying breath. They realise they are now so far up shit creek they probably think nothing they do matters any more, neither can harm them further nor make them look more foolish and inept. So they might as well give anything a try. I think they’re right.
Jack has the right of it. This crew of lubbers are all at sea, and must take a turnh ashore – or overboard. The ship of state is on a lee shore, its sails all ahoo. There is not a moment to lose.
Mr Figgley,
> common-sense tells me it’s time for a pint.
Excellent idea. Make mine a Guinness! ;-)
I concur with what you have said, but disagree with your overestimation of their intelligence. Of course we cannot generalise, there must be some brains in the Labour party, they have managed so much state control since they got power lets face it, if it wasn’t for the recession and money was still being grown on trees your average Joe would be as happy as a pig in shit and Labour would not be doing so badly and may have won a future election. To the point however there really are some people in Labour that have less right to be on this planet than a weasel. They’re the person that you argued with at Uni (you know training for the real world) you know the ones that no matter how articulate and well you present your side of the coin they just repeat the same line out of their crappy socialist/liberal/psychology book/fag packet that in the end you just want to beat the shit out of them for being so fucking shallow minded and sublimely stupid, for example Dolly Draper.
To say that they are in denial is actually giving some of them an ounce of the benefit of the doubt that they can actually make up their own mind. You can ask them any question you like but the answer will always be the same, that’s what upsets me most about PMQ’s, is that I fucking know what that retard is going to say next so you have all fucking day to plan a few weighted questions with a brilliant response that shows the twat up but nobody seems to go for the jugular, ok going of on a a tangent now time for a pint, thats common sense :-)
Blake’s7
> I concur with what you have said, but disagree with your overestimation of their intelligence.
Of course, the MOST intelligent people are those who had socialism shoved in their faces, and STILL retained their sanity and individuality, by managing to resist it.
Alas, I can’t claim that hallowed status myself, thought I do claim a Class II merit badge, for managing to recover from statism (though, as I said, it took me a helluva long time.)
And yes, there are a lot of bonehead socialists around. I met enough in Militant Tendency, when I was a member, to realise that.
But because I was a fellow traveller, I suppose I still retain a misplaced ’sympathy gene’ for the buggers, muppets that they are (and I was).
BTW, please don’t confuse what I said about intelligence with stupidity. To be a socialist, is to be stupid. To be a socialist AND intelligent (e.g. Stephen Fry), is to be utterly stupid.
Einstein was also a socialist and highly intelligent, perhaps with a decent claim to be one of the most intelligent men of all time. Which according to my reckoning makes him perhaps one of the stupidest men of all time. Hayek, the great Austrian economist was also a socialist, as was Professor Hoppe, perhaps the greatest living Austrian economist, and author of ‘Democracy: The God That Failed’, one of the great anti-socialist books of all time.
But at least both of these great men recovered, to help bring about the downfall of the evil religion of Marxism.
Yes, the lumpen proletariat of the Labour Party, are dull intellectual re-treads, who like Lenin think that the running of a successful commercial enterprise is simply a matter of filling in ledgers and notebooks. But we should not underestimate the enemy, particularly its higher echelons like Lord Hinduja and the soon-to-be-future Lord Campbell.
I’m sure Guido doesn’t. Because right now they’ll be working out all sorts of clever and nasty ways of getting their own back on him, because their lust for power knows that he is a thorn that needs to be removed if the ministerial cars are ever to call again at their second residences, after this 12-month bubble of influence. And to stop them turning him over, he is going to have to be devilishly clever in his turn, though hopefully we will all lend him whatever support he requires to resist their forthcoming attack
Anyway, that’s enough cobblers from me. Time for another Guinness, as that seems to be the celebratory drink de la jour.
#279 That is a brilliant piece you have written BUT it fails to take into account another breed of Politico that of the “dont give a fuck but Ill stand or support any party which will get me power”. These creatures have no real principles at all but will pretend they do if it is to their advantage. They usually masquerade as socialists in Labour strongholds ie scotland and as Tories in the home counties. Many of them are professional people from good middle class backgrounds , with a high percentage being Lawyers. They are despicible odious opportunists. and there are many about.
Ah yes, the Alan B’Stards, Berias, and Goerings of this world.
Fear ye not, Anonymous, this enemy class contingent II is never far from my personal thoughts, but I think I’ve already taken up enough of Guido’s bandwidth talking about one contingent of the enemy class, without causing him ruinous expense by banging on about another one! ;-)
Come on Guido, what did you expect?
If Neo Labour can man handle a Labour Party card carrying member who is also a pensioner & a survivor of nazi germany from speaking publicly at conference, did you really think that they would have a problem trying to silence you?
They are Neo Labour. As the Dark Lord Mandlespawn said when he came to power:
“We will manufacture the truth”.
I would like to stop mandelson,Cambell,blears,hoon,balls,darling,purnell,jowles,robinson,and the rest of the sorry bunch from apearing on my TV.
Stifling the beeb, this is tantamount to nazism, bring on the revolution.
Agreed. I wouldn’t miss Andrew Neil or that twat Nick Knowles either.
Ain’t Dick Knowles on nearly a million of ‘licence’-payer’s money ???
WTF for ???
E x .
Brillo is OK, gave Dolly a good spank when he was on with Guido
Of course the Labour Party should prevent Guido appearing on the BBC. They have the right to control the truth. Guido tell a different type of truth and this is very naughty and might upset their house of commie lying troughing shirtlifting scottish bastards.
Oh yes, put like that, better safe than sorry.
I thought it was kilt lifting in Scotland?
Do you really believe that Dolly Draper was giving up his free time for nothing? A man up to his neck in debt – debt that his wife will no longer repay for him?
Labour wanted it to LOOK like he was doing it for nothing – but he was getting his pay cheque for sure. Question is, how was the payment being made. Pin that down and you really will have a story. A paper-trail right back to the heart of NuLabour showing that Draper was being paid by Browns stooges to spread gossip and lies will be the final nail in their coffin.
Yep. Like all Labour scum-dogs he seems to think everybody shares the same low principles as himself. Freud would have a great deal to say about their behaviour. It certainly explains Labour’s fascination with the source of Guido’s ‘funding’. They simply cannot understand how anything gets done or how anybody gets paid without access to a large slush fund of taxpayers cash.
Watch those MPs expenses. Let’s see if that credit card payment for registering the redrag domain is on anybodies expenses. Just the sort of stupid mistake they’d make. Go to no end of lies to hide their identity when registering the domain but still stick it on their expenses. Along with lightbulbs, bathplugs, porn subscription and gentlemans tissues.
I’d have a lot to say about Freud
and Bowlby
and Carl Rogers
and Oscar Hammerstein
Freud noted (as did Adler and Lazarus) that overlapping sensations of conflict, frustration, anxiety, violent self-defence, fear and anger are obvious to the outside observer but result from conflict of the psyche. This is precisely what is engulfing the Labour tribe at the moment, the endgame of destructive narcissism – a downward spiral, traumatizing all that are dragged in.
I don’t particularly a Tory (BluLabour) elected dictatorship, but see no option given the jesus awful mob we have now. UK politics needs a complete overhaul. labour are effectively no more, reduced to Guardian readers (a declining number of them too I’ll wager), Beeboids, University lecturers, State-tit employees and the economically idle.
So can a new political consensus be reached with honesty and public service at its core? Placing experienced and competent professionals in ministerial posts? Rooting out the Socio-feminised Marixan Managerialism of our Civil Service and government bureacracies? And end to quangos? A Fair and Free media? dismantling the agenda and language of Political Correctness which has hampered progress and ushered in a period of the Counter-Enlightenment in Britian (and which in truth has been the weapon that has empowered the undeserving, the incompetent and the mediocre). Can we restore the family as the basic social and economic unit? (Difficult when we see the quality of ‘relationships’ as understood by the Labour tribe). Will our civil liberties be restored?
This needs to happen -but I am not hopeful that DC and BluLabour will even consider delivering or undoing the social and economic holocaust of the NuLabour years, it may be that we will simply see that the gravy train rolls on. Why can’t the Tories just come out and tell it as it is? Is our politcal class so corrupted, so bereft of morality, of ethics, that they are simply unable to recognise the liberating power of the truth?
Well put Minekiller.
“the social and economic holocaust of the NuLabour years” – can I add ‘moral’ to that as well?
@ minekiller
Is that an onanists way of saying they fucked up this country and are a bunch of hoons?
@ minekiller 201
The truth is,
There really is no need for a “political class”. I mean, what for? The entire trouble has been caused by GramscoFabiaNazis who think they _have to do stuff_ which is not part of doing real jobs.
It’s simple if you want to follow the money… Unite were main contributor and in turn beneficiaries of Labours generous (and wholly un-necessary) “Union Modernisation Fund” paid to the unions for what? And paid for out of our … er… your (sorry I’m offshore now) taxes.
“Socio-feminised Marixan Managerialism of our Civil Service”
Applause MK 192
When’s the divorce then? cos looking at Draper I must be in with a chance
Quelle Surprise!!
Keep after the fuckers Guido!
That is the justification to keep going.
Hear! Hear!
Why did they think they needed a poxy little website stirring it up when they had the BBC sewn up like this?
It’s fun baiting people.
Effective too.
It’ll come, don’t worry.
I told you to come in and behave.
You wait till your dad comes home.
Now go and wash your mouth out with soap.
Enjoy it while you can, you little tosser, because you’ll soon be flipping burgers.
‘Ponging One’ you fishy breath stinking blubbery creature you!
You smelly wretch, you’re back slaying all before you with your searing burger wit.
Has your afternoon show finished?
How were the fish?
Did you slide along on your blubbery belly, as usual?
Because it was seen to be a toy that they did not seem to possess, and they wanted some, and thye thought you just do it like Guido does, right away, because “he gets 200,000 hits a day” and so “there is a gap in the market for” …. “great, hard-hitting left blogs!”
Confucius, he say:-
THEY SPOTTED A GAP IN THE MARKET, AND FELL SMARTLY TO THEIR DEATHS THROUGH IT.”
bit flat really – but hey ho – it also gave the lonk to the GF vs Dolly interview… great reminder of just what a hoon he is..
I don’t see what Labour hope to achieve in attacking Guido unless it’s just sheer spite. The facts of “smeargate” are not disputed so whether Guido is considered credible or not is really an irrelevenace.
They can paint him as an alcoholic ex bankrupt or even a baby eating mass murderer, it won’t alter the fact that the story was true.
As a newish reader, i’d like to thank Guido for a wonderful read and congratulate him for playing a brilliant long game rather than shooting his bolt as soon as he got the info.
What was that white stuff in your quiff, Guido?
You didn’t have a something about Mary moment, did you? ;-)
I will totally agree with Don (above, or not..fuck knows what happens to my posts), this has been simply brilliant!!
Bloody Well done, old bean!!!
ps
Is it me, or has Mrs D (have I ever mentioned…. Spitfire, boning etc?) put on a few pounds?
She’s pregnant – it’s been well “flagged up” in OK and Heat and whatever. I don’t read these myself you understand but Miss Anony60mous does
Pregnant…No WAY.
You mean she let Dolly do that to her TWICE??
Anton’s been helping out in the seed department.
Pregnant! she must have been pissed or drugged
Re the white stuff…I think he may have got some in his left eye as well.
Who, Cyclops?
It could be Windolene I suppose?

ha ha
Priceless!
‘Maguire,a journalist’
‘of sorts’……………………..muahahahahahahahahhahahahahah
Yep. Quality. Liked it too that Labour didn’t put up some jellyfish IQ-ed motormouth to constantly shout over you. Surely they must have a few left.
Was that Norman Lamont I saw in the clip?
Can I have the Old Labour back, please? Not this thieving and con-happy bunch of tossers.
No.
You just became a bigger nightmare for Labour by being on best behavior – stay with the facts and let them do the digging all ways works best.
In life I have noticed that people people like Brown, Balls, McPoison etc… can never see the beam in their own eye and keep going in circles making the same mistakes.
http://thatsnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/file-under-they-never-learn-do-they.html
They never learn, do they?
Come on folks! Let’s give Labour not the publicity they want, but the publicity they deserve. If you have a blog or a website, link to Guido’s story.
Done already – it should be spread far and wide
Oh, good! Top stuff, GV!
BBC BLOG MANIPULATION
Guido
I’m not surprised by Labour’s efforts to gag you.
After closing Nick Robinson’s blogs for the past two weeks they are now enforcing the ‘off topic’ moderation in such a way as to ‘gag’ bloggers like myself.
Commenting on what happened recently my post was removed with
‘Your posting appears to be off-topic, in that it does not appear to relate to the subject of this blog.’
I have a real problem with this.
It means that Robinson can choose topics which are neutral (or more likely) pro Labour but avoid the more interesting anti-Labour news and moderate critiscm out.
Media manipulation by another name.
I altogether prefer this blog which is open to all, with free speech (although I don’t approve of some of the language) a prerequisite.
Please take the time to write a formal letter of complaint to the bbc board, demanding that they allow non-offensive topical comments and stop the moderation censorship.
The more people that do that, the more pressure will be put on the nulab activists within the beeb.
There was a lull of over an hour in moderation and a few more posts seem to be getting through.
The BBC/moderators have taken a real battering today so perhaps they have listened.
Yes, and then publish the letter on your very own shiny new blog site, on which you can put a link to Guido’s site.
Publish, fella!
Mr. Robinson’s face-saving bloghounds have gone beyond parody.
I have tried a few experiments, and it seems that Newsnight, Andrew Neill and even Michael Crick’s guys seem to have a different view on what consitutes ‘on topic’.
And I do declare that a few seem to have noticed… and are not best impressed. I trust the phone is ringing in the jacuzzi of the DG’s stretch limo as he tries to beat the rush hour home after a hard few hours at work.
I also tried an experiment on the site… 3rd time lucky:
160. At 3:34pm on 20 Apr 2009,
Can’t help but feel one needs to tread, Er, write carefully, but Nothing ventured, nothing gained as So Often can be said. Really the Sense of Humour now Impossible with Parliamentary commentary is telling.
Seems that was ‘ON’ topic. Maybe I should have reformatted it:
Can’t help but feel one needs to tread,
Er, write carefully, but
Nothing ventured, nothing gained as
So
Often can be said.
Really the
Sense of
Humour now
Impossible with
Parliamentary commentary is telling.
Having ‘fessed up, let’s see how quickly the public servants we pay to survey us here connect with yet more to blot out inconvenient opinions there. Again.
I share this last here and kiss it goodbye as a consequence, as I suspect Guido has a whole room of publically-funded servants now devoted to his readership and our ‘tittle-tattle’.
We should all take the time to complain about every BBC act of partiality in their broadcasts, whenever we come across them.
Amen, bro (or sis).
I really can’t get to grips with this reply to thread sequence, but hey-ho.
So I’ll use this one for my 349. (above), which doesn’t have one, and hope they are near each other.
I have to give Guido credit. I ‘fess up here and am banned within 30 minutes. Now that’s one on one state supervision you can bank on.
I’ve had it with Nick’s blog. I’m blogging here from now on. At least everyone gets to say what they want without the thought police censoring everything.
Gave up on Nick ages ago, he only ever posted something if it was highlighting a Tory problem.
Beside you can’t call Brown a ‘one eyed scottish wankstain’ in your posts.
Agreed, I had to post 3 ‘goodbye I am leaving’ posts as the first two were censored. I have not even bothered checking if my third one got posted or not.
There are some criticisms of Nick’s blog there, but going by what is allowed, one can only speculate as to what has not been allowed.
What Nick Robinson has descended down to is a common propaganda mouthpiece, a newlab advocate and a very good impression of what it looks like to be “Brown’s bitch!”
Yeah but you do wish that Silky Arsehole would tralaafuckoff somewhere else. Please!
gave up on his blogs ages ago, he gets no hits from me. he’s got his own little private version of the terrorism act – lick his arse and get published, suggest gently that he may not perhaps be absolutely 100% right and your blocked.
My post as follows was blocked as off topic…Well,perhaps,but it was topical given the huge number of censored comments…
“Nick..If it it not you that has apparently issued orders for all non Government
supportive comments to be erased,then I suggest that you do the honourable thing
and defect to SKY or some other broadcaster that will not tolerate such
censorship “
Well done, Guido, the country is with you. Give no quarter, Spare no mercy.
That Balls is an utter Hoon.
And Hoon talks utter Balls
Deck the halls with boons of lolly.
Tuscan Tony. Priceless.
Their problem now is that everyone knows that they are on their way out and even the BBC is prepared to ignore their devious attempts at censorship,if only to curry favour with next administration.
I don’t know what to think.
Never mind – here is a free dvd and a wallchart, go back to sleep.
Simon r!!!
Love it!!!
Comments like yours, as well as the FawkesMeister’s brilliant campaigning, are why I visit this blog.
Award yourself a chocolate biccy! Enjoy!!!
Next time wear boxing gloves and sit there with a strange smile on your face.
Guido – can you get the BBC to reveal who complained & why using FOI?
I sent the Daily Politics website the same question!!
Perhaps a load more similar requests will force Andrew Neil etc to respond accordingly
Doing it NOW
Robinson is just a stooge for McSporan
It is called Symbiosis, when a host(Brown) makes a comfortable environment (alimentary canal) for a kindered organism (Toenails) which in turn repays in kind (positive reporting)!!!
yes but what was in the Fax, Guido dear chap? what were the grounds of the complaint? Dooooo tell!
Was it to do with Guinnessgate?
You mean we can fax complaints in to particular programmes at the BBC ?
What’s their number ?
http://www.mng.org.uk/gh/resources/media_email_fax_list.htm
scroll down, there seem to be a lot of BBC numbers here – just get in touch with all of them – you’ll be right eventually
Labour could shut this whole media storm down by announcing an enquiry.
That the government don’t want an enquiry is very telling.
Guido. From where you were sitting, could you see up Anita Anand’s kilt?
Way OT but check out this link.
It’s perfect for a caption competition.
My entry is:-
Mandy to all who’ll listen

What’s happened to your unsubstantiated allegations of what an easy lay you were in your youth?
Time was you couldn’t stop telling/boring us about it.
I’ve mentioned TWICE today…Do try & keep up!
Unsubstantiated?? WTF?
What you mean is that you didn’t get as much sex at 17 than I did.
Apart from off your dad & your ’special’ uncle.
It’s great that you’ve remembered it though.
ps
I’m am easy lay now too!!!
Just because some girls may have scratched an itch using you as the convenient easy lay, doesn’t mean you had sex.
It means they used you, your subconcious realisation of that now is why you feel the need to boast about it.
Have you got a big belly like Guidiot?
When you look down in the shower, is that all you see, your big fat belly?
“Just because some girls may have scratched an itch using you as the convenient easy lay, doesn’t mean you had sex.”
Er, what does it mean?
What have me and the other girls being having all these years?
Actually, from the perspective of being a little older – there’s no point in being young and not being a horny beast. Nature made us that way, and hey, it’s fun!
Oh, but maybe your name is the clue.
Mmmmm, did you know that you can never ever clean yourself enough so that a girl without the experience of working flipping Burgers will ALWAYS be able to smell that shitty greasy smell on your skin? From about five yards. So you can look forward to a very limited pool of potential partners, Billy No Stars.
Master Baiter,
I’ve, quite obviously, hit a nerve here…haven’t I?
So, I may have been ‘used’ by quite a few dozen young ladies…your point is what exactly?
When I look down in the shower I see different things, it really does depend on where I’m looking.
Thankfully, I’ve never seen you, gazing up in an adoring manner!
Now, perhaps you should go upstairs?
Your sister’s in her bedroom & is waiting for you.
(perhaps she has an “itch that needs scratching”..again!!)
Thanks Sarah for your sterling defence.
Methinks MR MB should try & give himself a stiffy.
He should then lean on it & wait for it to go numb.
He should then (try) & crack one off..it’ll feel like he’s doing it to someone else!
(he’d like that!).
I’m starting a fund for that endangered species ‘The Dolly Draper’. Normally seen frequenting drains and dustbins on it’s perpetual quest for crap & filth, it has not been spotted for some time now, causing the WWF to issue an urgent appeal for any sightings. Was thought to have attempted to cross breed with the sleazy ‘The Damian McBride’ but neither were able to get an erection. Any sightings are to be relayed to Tory central office who wish to thank them for handing them the next election on a plate. Are Knighthoods given to animals ??
I’ve just spotted him near the bins in Howardsgate, Welwyn Garden City
There is a precedent. Caligula made his horse a senator. Bit like what’s happening in Erith.
A faxed complaint before you had even gone on and opened your gob. Hmmmm. are they a bit scared or just bloody angry? I don’t think you will get a Christmas card from No.10 either. Don’t go walking in woods or near cliffs.
Confirmation that they’re utterly panic stricken – running shitless as a result of all your endeavours, Guido. Thanks are due from a grateful Nation.
Hear, Hear
Doomed – don’t put your money on Andy Murray, he and Beckham have just been seen outside No10 alongside Brown. They are both doomed.
The sense [smell?] of fear is palpable..
But if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear, surely?
maybe, but they still smell
What they are trying to hide is that they have nothing.
At least the Beeb let you on despite the threats and attempts to intimidate, not the way they used to behave when people might have mentioned that Peter Madleson was gay. Remember Jeremy Paxman crapping himself live on air?
TYou did very well today, much more measured and distinct (when not being screamed at by some twat with a a face like an unkempt fanny. However,next time tell them to put some makeup on your nose next time Guido, you looked like a pisshead (oh……..)
I hadn’t seen the previous showdown between Guido and Dolly before today.
Dolly seems a bit effeminate don’t you think?
At least I won’t get censored here – not like the Nick Robinson blog – or rather the New RedRag site.
But they were right to complain !! ‘Smeargate’ is over now.
Mandy told them so yesterday..
Come on, guido, you are behind the times..
Quite right, My Lord!
Do pay attention, Guido.
Move along now, nothing to see here, we’ll have road open again as soon as the forensic chappies have done their work.
“Smeargate over”? How dare you? This thing is only just beginning – the deck of cards is wabbling – just one more card and the basards are done for.
Yes, bit of a revealing comment from ‘Lord’ Mandelson.
He wants us to focus on the economic problems instead – thats how big Smeargate is!
Mandy is normally manipulative and cunning enough to divert attention almost without being noticed. For him to ask outright for a change of topic is very out of character – he must be really rattled by this.
Their usual tactic is “Look over there (pointing frantically), there’s a Tory beating up a mixed-race handicapped child!”
Or something like that.
Indeed, Sarah, or she could be the one beating the tory up according to the ridiculous Mail article!
Who knows, perhaps smeargate can be traced back to Mandelson?
You mean he actually would prefer us to concentrate on the mess Labour have made of the economy !!!!!
Keep up the good work Guido. I hope you have a couple of truthbombs to let off when Darling is dominating the news on Wednesday.
Guido,
Well done on the Daily Politics. Was it me or were you and Brillo the only ones with the quickness of mind to explore the evil intent behind Red Rag?
For those commenters who are complaining about “over-egging” this story perhaps you should remember that Guido also broke both the Peter Hain and the Smith Institute stories. Smeargate is bringing down the anger of the socialist scum on Guido and he is the one to decide how it is told.
If you want Smeargate done differently write your own blog.
God Bless you Guido.
HEAR HEAR !
“If you want Smeargate done differently write your own blog.”
Seconded – I’m getting pissed off reading comments from people telling Guido how to do his job. In fact it’s so bad I rarely read the comments these days.
this is from Plato http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00jxxwz/Gabby_Logan_19_04_2009/
listen from about 1:09 into the programme…its brilliant.
Thanks Plato
Yep, Seconded.
It’s just been posted on the Sky Discussions page too.
Let’s see how long it stays there for!
yep, it is brilliant. Thanks Plato and pissed off
Awesome.
Starkey is a genius.
Superb!!
fantastic link – thank you
I fear Dr Starkey won’t be allowed on the BBC again…
Hello…..I’m NuLiebore’s Nick Robinson.

Praise the Lord for t’internet, otherwise we would never get to know even a crumb of truth from… well anywhere.
Were we living in The Matrix for all those years?
Guido, do not be deflected from the mission to keep us informed.
Is McMental the only person in the Westminster village who did not know what McBride was like?
Is it really believable that McBust had no idea just how McBride served him?
Surely, all those BBC reporters who travel with McDoom & sit at his feet gazing up at their master could have hinted that perhaps McBride was not representing McNappy in the best possible light?
Heard McMental and McBride are having celebratory April 20 drinks in honour of their political hero.
Are you suggesting that Brown knew beforehand that McBride was stupid enough to use an official undeniable email account to send emails discussing ‘unsubstantiated allegations’?
Tra laa!
As Broon has admitted to having absolutely no idea of how email works, the potential slime trail it leaves, and even what a server is and does, I’d say the answer to your question is a big “yes”, AS.
Have McMental and McBust ever been seen in the same room at the same time?
Plusnet have just cut you off again.
Switched to proxy – immediate link. Switched off proxy – timeout. Repeated the sequence 3 times. Same result each time.
Can anyone lend me some tin foil? I’m running out.
Yup, me too.
Get plusnet sorted out, Guido, or there are going to be a lot of potential new readers who will never find you, if this goes on.
145
YOU get plusnet sorted if its your ISP. Complain or take your custom away
Doh.
“PlusNet cheapest home & business broadband – with FREE SETUP, including broadband activation and broadband modem/router”
there’s your problem – you get what you pay for
Hmmm, same plusnet probs….bastards…anonymouse.org is my (simple, technologically incompetent) solution
I’d lend you tin foil, but I’m out too….
Bethere / O2 did that to you yesterday, too.
Get a proper ISP – Zen. Not a single second’s downtime in 8 years! Excellent, efficient service.
Ok, so how about a new campaign by us the license payer. How about we all e-mail complaints about toenails, Marr etc and say that we find them totally offence and that they are showing massive prejudice’s towards not just Tories but also Lib Dems as well. I am sure that we could prove very simply the fact that they are censoring freedom of speech. I am fairly sure that because it is the “Beeb” they will take the complaint seriously if we get 1000 complaints, they sack anyone these days if the public complain enough just accuse them of being racist.
count me in
and me
and me, it seems logical
Sounds a bit dangerous to me, although I am in broad sympathy.
What you do is; you stop paying; but don’t make a secret of it.
Tell them why. Give them your name and address.
You can read the BBC Charter on their own web site and see where and how it is being flagrantly abused and broken.
You won’t be alone.
Done two years ago, followed by a complaint about Pravda/TVL/Crapita’s threats. No further trouble. They just sign-off by telling you that one of their operatives will spring a visit on you soon to “verify” you don’t need a license. In my case this promised-visit has been “imminent” for 18 months.
They have no right of entry without a warrant. To get this they need evidence a crime is being committed. Failure to let their commission-seeking goon into your house does not constitute such evidence. Indeed, you may wish to write to Crapita, withdrawing “implied right-of-access” to your property altogether, meaning that should their goon cross your boundary, they’ll be trespassing.
That just leaves them with their special magic “detector” vans to play with.
Mind and add that they make you “uncomfortable” as making someone “uncomfortable” is a very serious offence these days.
Just posted this on the BBC, I don’t expect it to stay. I get the feeling a BBC moderator has been told to pull any comments by anyone who uses this blog:
Maybe I should change my name to one that isn’t used on another blog (which I won’t mention). I get the impression that anyone who uses a certain other blog is instantly moderated off this one. So much for free speech in this country. Especially as I see a post further up that has remained and is actually far more off-topic and critical of Mr Robinson’s prior position with certain lobbyists.
Thought you might all like to know that next Sunday’s News of the World will have some sensational revelations on Smeargate which will prove devastating for Labour.
tell me NOW….please…
The Aunt Maudes are going off the Conservatives by the day, because of their dirty dirty dirty politicians.
Anything that helps to stir the pot is fine.
Drugs ruin lives.
If the Conservatives want to fight in the street they can.
Either way they’re in for another good kicking in the election.
wanker
I’d rather a politician snorting charlie and shagging prostitutes than one who drives our economy into ruin whilst feathering their own nest and refusing to resign on any matter.
Thanks very much.
Well up to date aren’t you?
Conservatives nearly 50%.
What’s it like in cloud cuckoo land?
Could you make sure my burger is properly cooked?
You sound desperate you little lefty wanker :-)
Master Baiter, if I may call you that, I do declare that you do not get out much boy. I sure have no problem…what’s yours sweetie pie?
More evidence of the police state? Fascinating short film of police searching the house of an “alleged”? protester/activist. The police are seen bagging up copies of the “New Statesman” as evidence of the individuals “views”!!
Police confiscate property of a ‘political nature’ from a suspected environmental activist
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/video/2009/apr/19/police-activism
this is not surprising but truely shocking
more evidence of the politicisation of the police, but only at a local level, you understand
Pretty soon the Tories will be trying to keep Guido off the BBC too.
Remember an awful lot of Tories are ears deep in the piggy trough too,
Second homes, furnishing fixtures, property speculation all at the Taxpayers expense.
There is a lot of work to do yet, Tories like Nulab can’t be trusted.
I still remember the fiddles and sleaze of the nineties that wiped Tories off the face of politics in one night, sadly worse was to come.
But we are wiser now, aren’t we?
Buggar off Derek.
Tory sleaze in the nineties was nothing compared to what Brown and his lying, fiddling, Stalinist pigs are getting up to.
Name is Allan, and you are a MONG!
The tories are probably safe from the current round of newspaper stories, because they’re mostly non-entities. I’d be quite prepared to believe Oaten with his theory that the papers save stories for when you’re more famous (quite sensible).
I mean – who the hell is Den Dover?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/5131691/Disgraced-MEP-could-keep-500000-in-unjustified-expenses.html
Taxfodder speaks some truth, I bet one year after the GE, we’ll see ZanuCon in full spin/sleaze. We are fucked – different wrapper same content
Different cheeks of the same rancid smelly arse with the libdems as the crusty ringpiece in the middle.
Vote Tory get bluelabour with nice accents vote newlabour and get more of the same vote libdem get newlabour minus their principles and honour, all three are the same and all three will steal and lie and fuck the voter over for five years, all of them are fully signed up to the ecomentalist economic suicide pact that will leave us living like third world serfs, talk about choices!
I am of course assuming that in the nineties the Tory press & media were as complicit in censuring all serious detractors and spoon-feeding the party line, in which case in ignorance without the Bloggers message into the mix, one could easily draw the conclusion that the Tories were not as hopeless at government as the current shower.
Hoping or voting for the one that will not be as bad as the other assumes neither is fit for purpose.
Basically I prefer not to be robbed and conned at all!
I rest my case!
There’s me doing the Live Chat and I forgot to hit the record button. Twat.
Good show, barrel of laughs whenever you’re on. Everyone should write in demanding you get a regular slot.
(Also great for my pitiful statporn).
Guido,
Are you looking at the other big news item that coincides with Smeargate?
Why did PC Plod and his mates need to kick the sh1t out of the G20 demonstrators and unfortunately kill Ian Tomlinson? I’m sure that this is getting bigged up by some unwashed lefties trying to smear the Met but anyone looking at the videos can only conclude that the Met was out of control.
Put it into context. Brown was holding his “world statesman” G20 meetings to look good at the cameras with Obama and desperately needed a good G20 so he looked all global statesman as part of his political strategy and fightback. We now know that they also planned to smear the Tories via the Red Rag website and via Labour’s placemen in the media (Maguire) only delayed by the sad death of Ivan. A good G20 was part of the overall fightback strategy whilst the Tories were all at sea with the smears…
What political guidance did the Met receive about the policing? Did Jacqui Smith (whilst not completing expenses claims) ask Sir Paul Stephenson to come down hard? Did she ask him to stop the demos? It would have looked bad for Gordon if a bunch of lefties smashed up the City and stolen his headlines.
Plenty here if one cares to look…..
And why hide the numbers on their shoulders? This should result in instant dismissal shouldn’t it? Or was such obscuration ‘officially’ sanctioned? From the top?
The Labour party is fully committed to honest open Democratic debate on the BBC
if you are a member of my gang.
I am the leader of the gang (I am)
Ps Anyone seen Charlie Whelan lately?
Keep up the good work. Lets see the back of Brown, Balls etc and the rest of them …
Not very attractive . Doesn’t turn me on!!!
It’s THE SUN wot will win it
Not in Liverpool, I think – somewhere else where “The Sun” doesn’t shine
It will be the bruvvers. Unison and Unite are the paymasters, and they are feeling the heat right now. If they say Brown goes even if it means an election, then that is what will happen. ZNL won’t listen to anyone else.
Yeah but how many non-state employed people are there in Liverpool?
Meaningless.
Should’t Unison and Unite, unite?
It gets more Orwellian every day. Go for it Guido and I think you’re rather handsome in a dashing sort of way :)
Totally agree – Guido is indeed rather handsome.
Yes, scrubs up nice!
A Fax?
This is awful, terrifying news.
Did you see it?
What happened to the remaining Attack Dogs then?
No abusive phone calls to the DG of the BEEB?
Methinks the LabCom Party is growing weak.
The end is nigh.
Send for more body bags Guido
Guido – have you a copy of the Fax?
Fax’s are a pain in the arse.
I keep asking them to email me so that I can cut and paste into my blog rather than having to retype.
I imagine Brillo got the fax and only told Guido that he got a fax, from the Labour party, no details.

Is there potential for “Draper” to be used like “Hoon” is?
Terms like “a fucking draper”, “an utter draper”, “a complete draper” work rather well, I reckon.
No that would be insulting to respectable clothing people.
A euphemism is required – I suggest “Tool” utter tool, complete tool, works just as well.
Hmmm .

Mrs Boots……We’re off.
I am sure these points will have already been made but let’s look at the evidence again from only the last few months:
- Arresting a Shadow Minister for “National Security” reasons that turn out to be false at the cost of 5 million pounds.
- Allegedly attempting to get information on a leading human rights campaigner by heavy handed if not illegal means
- Organising a smear campaign of it’s political opponents and I am certain using public money to do so.
- Complaining to the broadcaster if the views of a subversive are likely to be broadcast.
- Heavy handed policing techniques that have lead to the death or assault of various protestors
- Use of the public purse to expand their own personal wealth (although this is cross parliament not just government)
AND NOT A SINGLE RESIGNATION AT THE VERY LEAST?
And politicians wonder why the public appear to have lost some degree of interest in politics? Yes it is dumbfounding isn’ it….
The worst thing about this FUBAR is:
- It is happening in (Once) Great Britian.
- It seems to make not a jot of difference whether this is public knowledge or not
- The people clearly responsible for this outrage are p*ssing themselves laughing that they still have a very well paid job.
In the private sector, screw ups of such magnitude would amount to an immediate sacking without pay off, not the corporate equivalent of promotion to the House of Lords.
We are doing a brilliant job and I for one work very hard for Team GB and I am proud of all our successes that you very generously described above.
You are obviously the ideal Labour voter a well informed, well intentioned waste of space blindly led by our fantastic information dictatorate headed by Ed Balls and his close friend and working colleague MR McBride
,as GB now insists we call the McBride formerly now as Damien.
As Mr McB is now totally uninvolved in a politically meaningful sense with team GB, if you you follow my drift, it will enable us to win a massive landslide victory in the next election and yours truly to become Chancellor of the Trough and allow one of my many deserving relatives to fill Mr What’s -his – names shoes.
And you thought I was lying low in Cornwall.
I am the leader of the GB gang ( I am)
Well, they seem to have at least realised that no logs are kept of faxes; looks like a return to 1980s communication technology in Zanu Towers.

Jacqboots is going before the end of the week judging by this performance.
I think she’s been comfort eating. What a beam….
Yeah, she did look fat at the despatch box today. Too many late night donors
I blame all the other countries for this. They have Labour parties too.
Oh yes, the UK government maintains a permanent office in the BBC, but I expect everyone knows that. Sorry, Guido. We win this round.
shock new poll out this evening for the guardian (ICM):
Tories 46%
Labour 22%
LD’s 21%
Best PM:
Cameron 65%
Brown 22%
Clegg 9%
Which government had most sleaze:
Conservative 22%
Labour 55%
The BBC will be running the “Polls are all over the place” crap which is usually what Prick Robinson comes out with.
If those figures are correct, that would give the Tories a majority of well over 200.
I hope it’s true. Not because I want the Tories to win but because I want Labour to be relegated to third. Somebody needs to take Clegg to one side and remind him of recent history. Remind him that it was Labour who lied in their 1997 manifesto and stitched up the LibDems with a promise of PR which they promptly reneged on. Yeah, you guys stand aside, don’t campaign against us and we’ll give Paddy Pantsdown a seat in cabinet and PR.
It didn’t take them long to smear Pantsdown and shelve the PR commitment did it? And then they’ve proceeded to smear and renege on their commitments since.
Clegg needs to understand that if the Liberals are ever to form a government they’ll have to do it from second place. Not third place. They need to be attacking Labour. Give the disaffected Labour voters somewhere to go. Sadly I think they’ll continue to imagine they’ll move straight from third to first.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Lib-Dems. Labour can’t waste a second defending themselves against the LibDems if they are going to avoid electoral wipeout. The LibDems have a clear field to come second. I hope they take it.
Annihilation of Labour is the only fitting end to their regime of financial idiocy and enslavement of the people.
Are you a comedian? Clegg couldn’t go three rounds with a revolving door.
I think you’ll find it was McDoom that put the boot (smear) in to Paddy Pantsdown.
ALSO.
He taught the young McBride everything he knows and even things he didn’t know.
A large majority is dangerous, as this corrupt lot in power have shown us. They can ram through any legislation they like, with a strict whip.
I’d like to see a workable majority, the number of Labour seats pulped to near zero, Lib Dims as the official opposition and more independent candidates entering the HoC.
Totally agree with that. The Lib Dems need to remove their head from their arseholes and realise that by attacking Labour and not Tories is the only way that we can restore the balance in politics again. This cant happen by everyone taking the centre ground. After the election what is left of Labour will do the same as what the Tories did and go to extreme (ie going further right or left in the case of those fucks). This was a huge mistake and caused the Tories massive damage.
What I would like to see is Right and Left parties (Wigs and Tories) again and a true balance with the commons. We all know that the Lib Dems are not ready for power, but after 5 years of front line opposition they may be ready, but yes they are just fucking up the programme attacking Tories all the time, Get a fucking grip Nick its fucking obvious.
Yet another bollocks poll by someone on Guido.
Unless it appears on politicalbettting – fuck off. Official polls don’t appear until about 10pm
excellent. I expect to be given a whip..
and an appartment in Admiralty Arch

more perks to follow
The poll is on the Grauniad Online. It’s ok for the tories overall but still gives ZNL 30% of the (presumably loony) vote. Awaiting UK Polling comment which is delayed, maybe tomorrow. Can anyone explain who/why re the over-egged fake polls? I am struggling to see the point.
BTW you’re right the Beeb are indeed saying the Poles are all over the place…
Just complained to the BBC about this.
I would expect that to be the least from his readers.
If you are afraid to complain then that is the reason you should.
Guido – do try to avoid being “the story” old boy. It’s this that will be your “undoing” – they’ll make sure of that.
Agree 100%. Now get back to stitching those mail sacks Wrighty.
I am so tired of Gordon Brown and New Labour, they are like a black hole sucking the life out of everything

There is a poll out so that part is true. That would be a dream but I am not getting any hopes up.

Nicely done on the Daily Politics, Guido. Good relaxed performance. Made the points well.

“He also told the students about the Asian voting networks — whereby senior figures in the Asian community either collect and fill in postal voting papers or press people to vote a certain way. The Labour candidate in the ward is Asian.
“All the parties use the Muslim connections…while there is paranoia in the country about the use of Asian voting systems… They have a brilliant network: they pass it on; they all want to use the postal,” said Wakefield.

Respect. I’ve sometimes avoided this blog as I found it often puerile, but you’ve proved your worth beyond measure. Full respect.
I’ll only believe it when it’s on Politicalbetting otherwise it’s bollox. I hope it’s true tho!
So, Nick Robinson’s back from holiday, and having closed off his blog immediately after saying that all the G20 leaders said they thought Brown was Jesus, he’s now continuing saying that the G20 leaders think Brown’s Jesus even though all the leaders say that Brown’s a lying scheming wanker who scammed them all with dodgy figures.
Robinson goes on about his “G20 Triumph” but failed to mention that it was all just a big scam/fraud by Brown.
If you’re reading this, Mr Robinson; make the most of your perks; the BBC is going commercial in 2010 and you and all your labour cronies are going to get fired.
Guido,
I have just read some of the output of that Maquire chap.
I feel I must point out that you actually called him a journalist, which is stretching the reality somewhat.
Always happy to help.
The BBC has a FOI commitment – as it is a public body – just made a request to see the fax
http://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/
Try looking at their public info about complaints (ie trying to find out how many people complained about their political bias) – apparently out of 48,000 complaints, nobody thought that the BBC were politically biased.
Odd that, because I’ve personally complained about them being biased towards labour, and I’m sure many thousands of other people have too. But for some odd reason those complaints aren’t getting counted in their FOI reports about complaints.
Even their Bias is Biased.
Regrettably, you are probably correct N-B. As long as the politician/spinmeister/lapdog circle exists, nothing will change. Our only hope – the inexorable rise of the blogosphere. Mind you, that can be “controlled” so watch your back GF.

Presumably “hiding” is your codename for Kate, DD.
We can all guess why they didn’t want you on the show but did you find out what reason they gave? My guess is that you were not their equals, insufficient stature [presence, not gut]. Like when Cameron is away Brown won’t lower himself to answer questions from an oik like Hague.
He knows that Hague will verbally shred him that’s why.
He’s pissed off that Hague earns more for one single after dinner speech that he’s earned from ALL of his rubbish books.

I looked through the round window and could only see torn-up voting papers from Erith & Thamesmead constituency office. Any connection with Red Rag?
Every little helps.
Guido, if Labour sent a fax to the BBC to try and prevent you from appearing, can you get a copy under the Freedom of Information Act?
Also make a DPA request to the Labour party asking for all personal information they hold on you.

Anyone else noticed the number of posts on the BBC that are way off topic but that are being allowed, and yet pretty much all posts from anyone also posting here, even when commenting directly on NR’s post, are being moderated off the site?
Yes, they are Stalinist apparatchiks.
END THE LICENCE TAX
the bbc website is so blatant in its barefaced nulabour bias. even worse than tv, which is some achievement.
There is a site that tracks deleted BBC Have Your Say comments: http://www.newssniffer.co.uk/bbc/comments/list (NB. Many are from frothing loons – so no loss).
Wonder if there is one for tracking deleted NR blog comments? Anyone know?
Thanks, that’s a brilliant site. Just shows how unbelievable they are. Plenty of perfectly reasonable comments, but they poke fun at our dire “authorities” so zis is verboten!
Thanks Dr F, I’d never seen that site either. Great to know they can’t get away with it!
At least 50% of the deleted comments are OK if somewhat robust
Just been reading comments on The Sun. ONCE again someone blames Thatcher!!!! When will these people get it!!! and fucking grow up. NULABOUR has been in POWER for the LAST 12 years. They have had a huge majority!!. The could have reinstated Arthur Scargill (Still alive), re-open the pits (we have had a boom time plenty of money.) Pump money into our steel industry. Renationalise the railway, British Telcom. Re-open British Leyland (invite Red Robbo views). Invite all the union chiefs to 10 Downing street for beer and sandwiches. Give The Falklands to Argentina. Restore milk to schools… BUT THEY DID NOT… so for fucks sake STOP blaming Thatcher!! You had your chance to undo all her so called nasties, but you did not. Why because it suited you, now you have well and truly blown it you are looking to find someone to blame.
Now you’ve explained it properly it all makes sense.
Sorry I’ve been such a prick.
It makes sense to normal people … how you think you come under that banner remains unknown.
“I’ve been such a prick.”
Indeed
Don’t apologise for being a prick. You can’t help being what you are
“Sorry I’ve been such a prick.”
Well, what are you now, then?
Well said. I can’t get over it every single time I STILL here “the last government” with reference to (not even Thatcher) John Major’s days. It is truly pathetic that a party that has been in power for a dozen years continues to run on bile directed mainly to a government from the 1980’s (!) The beauty of it though, is that they’re the last ones who will notice it and they’ll look fools in between now and then every time they play that card.
Certainly the young voters will have no recollection of these mystical days they dream up.
Furthermore, Im happy at the paranoia shown by Brown this last 12-15 years. He has been so hell-bent on getting to the top that he has allowed for no other likely competitors in the Labour Party now. When this one trick (spin) pony is out of power, there will be no one left with enough credibility to pick up the leadership and appear to be a realistic alternative.
New Labour – R.I.P.
That is the sad part, the last 12 years you feel have all been about BROWN. Nobody else seems to have had a look in. Now there will be an election the Labour party will be blown out of the water and we will have no effective opposition. Great you may say but I think Government is helped by having an stable and effective opposition.
That’s why I’m putting faith in the Lib Dems. Seriously, I want them to be the next opposition and be a credible one too – if only they could get a few more Vince Cables.
Labour’s following in Mugabe’s footsteps. He stillblames the colonials for Zimbabwe’s ills, after 28 years!
It’s over 20 years since Thatcher came to power – a genration ago. We was a ‘necessary evil’ due to the appallingly incompetent Labour government whihc preceded her. Many young people blame her for the misdeeds of the Major govt. They remember none of it of course.
Brown is almopst entirely responsible for the state this country is in. He held the purse strings throughout the last 12 years – Blair never even saw the Budget before it was presented to Parliament ffs. He alsone bloated the public sector and the welfare state, and vetoed tony;s plans to trim them back. And instead of sacking him for his insolence, Blair kept him on and on – so he’s the other person to blame. The country was solvent when they took over.

Jesus, still banging on about this one?? Seems like this story is only of interest to Westminster insiders. So much for this blog being a radical organ. Like many of these such stories in the mainstream media, it is only really of interest to politicians and journalists. Blogs eh? They were so promising once…now they are just another two-bit knocking shop for establishment tittle-tattle.
Meanwhile, in the real world, evidence has been emerging day by day about abuse of police power. A scandal of massive proportions. Rather more important than the obsessions of a small clique of insiders.
Funny when I was a kid, 1950s – 1960s the police looked like heros. Now they just look like thugs… where did it all go wrong.
exactly. And sadly that’s what most of the public think these days.
My arse.
The Police are once again being strung up for doing their job.
Did you see any rubber bullets flying?
Any tear gas?
Any water canons?
No?
That’s right, this is Britain where we deal with things on a civilised basis – if you want to exaggerate the reality and shamefully deny the circumstances where yobs were damaging property and provoking decent hard working people (the police) then go ahead …and then try the same protest in any other fucking country and see how the response of their police forces compares.
The idiots caught up in that mess were there knowing exactly what to expect. I don’t have a second for any one of them and appreciate the police’s efforts. They got a clip round the ear like they fucking deserved.
One died, right on, got what was coming!
Hush there! Is your mother in the TSG Mannfred?
oh fuck off you moron. The police are like the private, protest-suppressing division of liebore. Don’t expect the public to thank you for it. Not even grannys think you’re doing a good job anymore because you’re more interested in politically correct nonsense than keeping the streets safe from real criminals.
And says a lot about you that you talk like this about an innocent bystander being killed after an assault by a police officer. You disgust me.
The plod carefully left the ones who smashed the windows alone.
The plod only go after soft targets these days.
Still if you are looking to find someone to truncheon a small girl or murder an innocent Brazilian then the Met Plod should be your first choice.
You bunch of inconsistent schlecks. You happily talk about how the BBC are so completely in the pocket of Labour and all that is left-wing and then decide to, like lemmings, swallow what they tell you about the Police.
Get real, or sober up, whichever is your predicament.
Your so called innocent Brazilian was after all a cocaine-fuelled-paranoid-illegal-immigrant, seemingly with plenty of reason to run, confusing “plods” on high alert. Don’t paint an honest mistake as a ineptitude or malice, please.
You’re all there jumping on their back claiming they’re politically correct yet it’s the likes of you who are hear writing this shit and forcing them to be exactly that. You’re ridiculous. How can you talk of political correctness on the back of this hypocrisy?
As for Tomlinson, it’s a great shame the guy died, it truly is. I ask any normal minded person however, how a ‘newspaper man’ could be ignorant of what was going on around him and thought it okay to dawdle past policemen trying to control a rabid mob? Another accident which you are willing to ignore and all because unlike yesteryears, you can watch it in the comfort of your armchairs round teatime + courtesy of anyone with a mobile + and nod like the Churchill dog to whatever Auntie Beeb tells you.
Well I for one agree with you Manfred. These morons want to have their cake and eat it, more fool them.
A lot of the police may be doing their jobs, however I saw a lot that clearly knew they were going to be filmed and knew that what they were doing was wrong. It is clear that it is systematic within the police for them to hide their identities by removing their warrent numbers and by hiding their faces with balaclavas. That is not policing, that is police state mentality. They are doing all they can to enrage a group who wish to protest peacefully and also doing all they can to get away with what they know is illegal police brutality. They went in with the attitude that their job was to beat up protesters that were not a threat to them. It was clear that this was the overriding sentiment of all the police involved. A police state is when the police abuse their powers with the mentality that they can get away with it. The G20 policing had police state written all over it, from their attitude before and during and to the coverup afterwards when they tried to tamper with an investigation into a man’s death by having their own coroner investigate it so that they could get a verdict of death by natural causes when cause of death was clearly police brutality.
Manfred,
Take the Mess Webley and retire to the gents, there’s a good chap.
Well said Mannfred.
Anyone on here interested in liberty should think very, very carefully about attacking the police. It is the job of the police to protect a liberal, democratic, society ruled by law. They do this by removing any citizen conspiring or acting to break the law of that liberal society, therefore placing it at risk.
If the law is an ass, if we have too many of them, and if policing is mired by mindless bureaucracy – blame NewLabour and NOT the police whose job it is to uphold those laws. And remember – an inconsistent, directionless police force is the consequence of an inconsistent, directionless government.
When it comes to fighting for a diverseand liberal society – the police might just well be on your side!.. Don’t let shrill, mindless rages invite them to change their minds. Recognise your true enemy and tolerate the mistakes of those you need, with civility.
Riot Gear, as has been said keep it in context. Sure one man died, but lets not pretend he was pistol whipped by a group of boy-in-blue. The whole thing is on video and as bad as it was that he died, he could have suffered the same injuries by tripping and falling over. Lets have less of the over-sensationalised “police brutality”.
It’s worth remembering they had riot police and mounted police there, neither of which they used. The whole event was widely reported as a success both during and immediately following it. It’s only these phone-clips that are creating a story out of it. As a regular member of the public I imagine these unfortunate deaths happen everyday.
You might find this a little odd, yes I do mind, I feel in the UK I should be able to “dawdle” past a policeman in my capital, Im not a protester but I would object to being held in a “kettle” for hours on end faced by men armed with shields, sticks, helmets, who the devil do they think they are! This is my country with freedoms won by many brave men. They are mine and fellow countrymen roadways and streets paid for out of my taxes and I resent anybody especially a public servant also paid for out of my taxes telling where me and fellow men and when I can go! ID cards next with any little trumped up jobsworth or official asking to see them. I dont want some prat going on about what police in other countries would do, that does not make it alright.
Only odd because of the actual event. If it was any normal day, then of course yes, you would be right …… but whilst the police are trying to keep a G20 protest on the world’s banking systems from turning into a riot?? I think you must either have high expectations of public servants or an inflated sense of your own individualism.
Also, the enforcement of law around the world helps highlight the already high standards our police meet especially considering the hoops this Labour government has them jumping through.
@Chad
“Your so called innocent Brazilian was after all a cocaine-fuelled-paranoid-illegal-immigrant, seemingly with plenty of reason to run”
You are *way* behind Chad, all that shite was plod propaganda put out immediately after the murder and it has all been officially denied since then.
So what the fuck are you doing here, getting down and dirty with the proles? Go and enjoy your own obsessions and we’ll stay here and enjoy ours. Byeee!!
Yep the police are b#stards but who controls them?
Liebour scum
So how do you cure that?
Bring the sewer rats down
Watergate, Smeargate its same struggle.
I agree that agitators at demos taunting and provoking the police are asking for trouble, and get it sometimes deservedly. It’s possible to demonstrate peacefully as the half million Countryside Marchers did – a few of them still got brutalised however. Why do demonstrators pick a fight with the police when their target is elsewhere? A peaceful demo is much more effective – pace McBride’s thesis.
But Tomlinson was not a protester – he was a homeless man, possibly a little drunk and certainly unwell, living in a local hostel. He was attacked from BEHIND. If he had been provoking the police, as they have asserted, he should have been marched off to a Black Maria to cool down – but that certainly didn’t look like the situation in the clips on TV. There is also no excuse for police masking themselves with balaclavas and hiding their IDs
On this morning’s Radio 4 Today, Prick Robinson referred to Smeargate as “Insider Westminister Gossip”….only back a few hours and he’s already feeding us the NuLab spin.
… but the Budget will get our minds off it. Yeah right, more on how NuLabour have messed up… can they just go….please.
Oh no!! The Budget, do we have to sit through more spin. “A budget for jobs” I think is the Brown spin for this one.
Liebour trying to suppress opinions they can’t control? Well they would, wouldn’t they?
Guido, you are a National Treasure. You should be awarded a serious Gong at some point, for services to restoring the Nation’s sanity.
From BBC News website:-
“Prime Minister Gordon Brown has, meanwhile, been talking up next week’s Budget, which was delayed by the G20 summit, as a green Budget and “Budget for jobs”. On Thursday, he told an audience in Glasgow, where the Cabinet was meeting: “Our aim throughout is to get people back into jobs as quickly as possible and to prevent jobs going, to help school leavers this year and people leaving college and universities to get the jobs or training they need. “Next week’s Budget will be a Budget about jobs.”"
That might be his aim but so far Brown and New Labour have shown themselves singularly unable to hit a target – create targets for others, yes, in spades – but sadly not to hit the ones they create for themselves.
The new “jobs” will no doubt be advertised in the Guardian and will represent a dramatic increase in the number of absolutely pointless bogus charity, fake quango and interfering Nanny posts paid for with borrowed money and ultimately by the taxpayer and open only to insiders (local government workers), illegal immigrants and/or card-carrying socialists.
I concur.
The only jobs they are concernd with is their own and how much of our money they can cram into their bank accounts. When the day of judgment comes it will be left to us and whoever is in power to sort their mess out.
Hear hear!
And the shifty RSA cove next to you kept his eyes firmly fixed downwards to the table, Guido, unless you were doing something with your flaccid manhood underneath.
He didn’t look at the camera until you had gone. Did the RSA creep attend one of the ‘briefings’ for RaasClaat?
they were probably worried about you breaking the sofa
That’s not very nice.

Does anyone on here like Sir Alex ?
No.
Och aye. He kicked David’s arse so nothing wrong there.
Who the hell is Sir Alex?
FOI/DP request pish. It is plainly in the public interest for the BBC to grow a pair and just publish it. “See what we have to put up with?” etc.
Forget the BBC. I’m back from my hols and on the GMTV sofa again. Guido, why don’t you come on tomorrow ? I’ll get that long haired pillock Frizzell to give you a shout. Can’t wait. XXX
McMENTAL=DR STRANGELOVE
Strangely, my G.P. is Dr. Lovemental.
Sorry nursie, yes, time for my pills.
Gordon Brown
A man who looks like he smells like Derek Drapers string vest, has finger nails bitten to the quick ,uses kitchen grease as hair product and makes Dale Winton look butch.
Somebody please remind me how we ended up with this Chump as Prime mentalist?
We voted for him.
Oops, sorry I got confused – no one voted for him.
Sorry I am really confused – no one voted for him, did they?
Balls/McBride/Whelan/Watson
Any chance we will be seeing you on question time in the near future Guido
Yeah!
or in the celebrity big brother house with Dolly !
It strikes me as a little odd that measures likely to be in the budget are being trailed so widely in the media days in advance. This is unprecedented. The contents of the budget are never revealed in advance.
I’ll be surprised if the Labour Party tried to keep you off the telly, it’s far more likely to be the complicit Beeb!
Judging by the over zealous moderators on Nick R’s blog ,it would seem the Beeb is doing the fingers in the ears la,la thingy so as NOT to hear the growing public growl!
Good performance Guido, but now that 1) your PS ID is well known, 2) your TV manner far improved from the Paxman / White silhouette days, 3)Mrs G. may be coming to terms with your new public role and 4) you may possibly have ambitions to be the new media Private Eye (I hope you create that competition; nb their City pages are also excellent ) then please don’t go getting suckered in too quickly.
Good performance Guido – well done and I especially liked the toilets comment – of sorts – hahaha!
I asked the BBC once why the story about Prescott and his extra marital affairs wasn’t deemed to be news as it was conspicuous by its absence.
The reply was that it wasn’t news and is no more than tittle tattle.
Would the same have been true if he were a Tory perhaps?
Doubt it. We need to change the funding model once all the heads of this fetid Government are on poles on London Bridge.
Guido,
I wonder if you saw this comment in the Telegraph from Rhys Jaggar.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/matthewd_ancona/5179014/Labours-Watergate-leaves-trust-and-dignity-in-the-gutter.html
Some explosive stuff. Here the full text:
“I know for a fact that very advanced microwave/satellite technology was being used to detect my typing into a PC NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET IN OVER TWO YEARS when I was working as a ‘consultant’ in Manchester. I don’t know who was moved into the flat below me, but I do know the following:
1. They were monitoring my typing in real time (I’ll give evidence to a Select Committee on how to test that sort of thing if you want – it will make you laugh uproariously!).
2. They were definitely communicating with News Corporation. Or News Corporation was bugging me independently. Or they were getting it from the CIA. Or they were supplying that lot. Take your pick……..
3. They were definitely communicating with big City institutions.
4. They may well have been communicating with Washington.
I am not deluded, I am a highly trained scientist whose bemusement, disbelief and anger was gradually replaced by ruthless testing of the surveillance methods using highly unorthodox but highly effective methodologies involving strong direct language of the gutteral form about senior executives personally known to me…….
That surveillance has continued in Leeds and I am prepared to name names before a Select Committee and I fully expect either full security clearance documents to be produced to justify that surveillance, contemporaneous not fraudulently produced next week to cover up the criminality, or serious asset misappropriation (including children) to take place in the absence of high six figure sums paid in compensatory hush money for the trashing of my life over the past six years………or of course a six figure salaried job at a major media house, since they seem sufficiently obsessed with my typing to justify paying me that kind of sum given their public presentation as highly honorable and decent businessfolk………….
I remain 100% confident that the Conservatives have never, are not currently nor will they ever engage in illegal surveillance of me or my PC and I remain 100% confident that the entire Shadow Cabinet will resign en masse if that is not the case. I look forward to public confirmation that that is so…………
Ditto the self-righteous Liberal Democrats. Don’t pander crap about human dignity when you’ve got grubby little spy rings in place, if you please………..”
you were doing very well until you made your pro tory speech at the end.
but you are quite right, the cia have infiltrated british politics at the highest level.
both brown and blair are agents of american interests, the evidence is overwhelming.
but, if dave and gideon have been snorting cocaine and using prostitutes, don”t you think the cia would have it on video?
course they fucking would! which rather torpedoes your theory about the tories not carrying out the same surveillance.
cia guy “hey dave, we are going to release videos of you fucking a whore and snorting coke if you prevent us from spying on Britain.”
dave “okay, you can keep on spying on us, your friends.”
cia guy “gee, thanks dave.”
the tories will be as useless as new labour when it comes to protecting the rights and privacy of British Citizens.
anyone who thinks otherwise is an imbecile.
our politicians are thick as thieves, forget that and you are lost.
What struck me about Guido’s performance on Brillo’s show today was the silence of the other panelists as he had his measured, calm and truthful exchange with Brillo. It was as if no-one knew how to react, or to contribute to a discussion based on the delivery of questions answered with facts.
The political establishment and all it’s cheerleaders are now permanently and officially exposed as functionally dishonest. Guido could now go on TV and say white was black and it would still have more credibility than anything that Gordon Brownshirts legions of useless ministers, MPs or their media apologists can now say. This “Smeargate” episode hasn’t just destroyed the final vestige of any shred of integrity Labour was clinging to, but i has severely damaged the public’s trust in the traditional media. That to me and those I’ve discussed this with recently, means even more than just getting rid of one alkie spin-meister, no matter how lousy a person he was (and no doubt will remain).
Hey, you looked like a real pundit there! Well done, nice piece of television, you came across very well, calm and professional.
The Met were rent boys for the Conservatives during the 80′and they are rent boys for New Labour now.
Which makes them pretty long-in-the-tooth renters. I voted we call them ‘Jordans’.
Well said Minekiller (20.30)
………………………………….and another year of Nulabour being pelted with rotten fruit and donkey dung 24 x 7.They are simply going to cease to exist in many areas of the U.K at this rate
The high pitched, whiney, nasal northern noise emanating from the appalling Dolly’s mouth really grates on my nerves. I don’t, in general, find northern accents off-putting, and I think most northerners will feel the same about Dolly’s vocalising, which is spectacularly unappealing.
You’re damn right about that. I’m 10 miles south of Lancaster (where I believe he’s from) and it sounds oddly ‘unlocal’ to me. I can’t stand the way he says ‘party’. It sounds almost like “patty”.
as I say in my blog, two things strike me:-
1) how petty labour is and how they don’t understand how bad it looks to the public,
and,
2) how interesting it is the Beeb did not cave into the labour pressure
that is interesting!
The BBC were probably frightened that Guido would have found out and this would have looked really bad for the BBC and the Government.
Surprise, surprise – Labour can’t stand criticism. However, even the previously loyal BBC are deserting them and are increasinly hiring Tories. After all – they wouldn’t want the Cameron government to start cutting back on their TV Licence fees would they?
The BBC lost all credibility with me during the Ross/Brand affair. If the succumbed to govt pressure I wouldn’t be at all surprised. Do the BBC serve any purpose any more? They’ve stopped making decent comedies or drama. I don’t get why we have to flog out the licence fee to them, just so we can watch Sky and ITV.
better on brillo today guido , set to semi automatic , much better more accurate .
laughing at peirce and maguir on sky news tonight , mcguire clearly on sith strength , “it wasnt talked about much” caesars wife would like to know what the not much was about ??
but even kevin agrees stories were beyond the useual , yet he could have the scoop before guido , but suffered amnesia instead. still at least went on sky to bat it off , but i dont think he cleared his name .
prossie story looks interesting , one mps wife organised her for hubbys treat , however given her age i can only think its must pre date blair , besides when you get to a certain level for posh escorts £400 a night, its more of a luxury than seedy indulgence , suppose you would expect a dirty volley back when you hit the rats nest direct , in the bunker .
no comment from any labour minister on alice mahon , so her 50 yrs of labour work not worth a squirt then !! just shows you how stalins monkeys think it works .
lib dems unveil 700 million worth of savings without mentioning the EU (a feat in its self) , it was a bit vague and made me think that some areas would be free to keep on wasting money , but darling has to go first on where the excess is to be rendered down back into tax savings .
the other thing is mandelson future car spend , i mean most car makers have designs for low carbon vehicles anyway , i mean they have development departments , citroen have just put a car out that does 83mpg , they develped the cute dercheve that did 60 mpg just after ww2 , so they have had plenty of time sicnce the 70s oil crisis to design leccy cars.
now we her GM want to offload european car op for a song , why ??? because they went down a funny design route, making these hi tech sort of cars , vauxhall used to make ordinary , repair at home sort of cars , now you have to go to dealer to get diagnostics . credit crunch means most folks want cheap to run cars with as few additinal dealer bills as possible , seen new vectra replacement (car of the year) and it looks really nice very quality , but not really what everyone is thinking about , cant see fuel tax being reduced can you!! Gm need a cheap well made mpg car or mini estate , like astra used to be , car booter favourite after volvo estate .
also if new car purchase scheme goes ahead , it will mean that some second hand cars will be devalued , not that fuel price rises inst doing that already .
but the car rush alisatir and peter may create now , may mean lower productions until economy improves .
whats this about gordon wanting to fund sucess stories !! what ?? , so a good business with a low order book will go the wall then ??? or is going to fund the hashish dealer down the road , who is doing very well , i kid you not a bong shop opened last year , selling pipes etc . if it turns out hes gonna give money to captal risk projects , he will send a whole swathe of the economy onto benefits , ime all for some support of business that need some credit for exports , but not subsiding exports , you only do that when you are flush , given pound has devalued by 30% exports should be cheap enough anyway . so gordon appears to be talking rubbish.
the public finances are holding back the ability to support business better comming out of the recession .
certainly looks like its gruel for some businesses if not grave. and he wont have much to improve his fortunes next year if he fails to call general election this year as tax revenues wont be enough.
to put it bluntly , hes trying to tart up the economy with borrowing , an economy that is not balanced for the downturn , shoving money into specualtive projects is very bad use of borrowings , just have to see how darling puts it but could be big waste of cash , if no one can afford to buy the outputs hes investing in 2 years .
projected growth is uncertain so why put borrowed money into uncertanties ?? much more ecnomic certainity and saftey if he reduces borrowings,
dont by nuclear investment either , with sellafield expected to have 60bn clean up costs , nuclear fusion isnt cheap even if it is clean .
seen the movie , know the ending, i want an election , cant afford labours fantasy isalnd any more
This dysfunctional Government will try and supress any dissent. They do not like being challenged. These champagne socialist bigots will do anything to cling to power. The Budget on Black Wednesday will prove how shambolic they have been in mismanging the resources of our once great country.
The stifling of opposition comments is symptomatic of a Government in decline and about to implode.
