BANZIIIIII …………………………..
Wonder what Obamas gang think of all this.
As Facebook recently told me that ‘Barack’ was a distant cousin of mine I may just drop him line and ask what he thinks of his new ‘Global Behavioural’ adviser.
Obama is one of my celebrity look alikes !
Is Mick Hucknall involved in all this then !!
( Real) “Money’s to tight to mention”

Suck my cock, Gordon.

P.S. Thanks to Mrs. Fawkes for letting Guido out to play again
samee you fucking dullard, don’t you get it?
I operate in this manner precisely to wind up c’unts like you.
if you don’t like it why don’t you just fuck off elsewhere you wanker.
ps you are a dopey fuck.
oh yeah, and go easy on the smiley faces, they make you look like a nonce trying to groom juveniles on the internet.
Sorry, “butt” didn’t you “groom” me for Mandlebumm; your two-faced tart!!
And you “Samee”; you did the video and sold it on the net; tart!!
I don’t think Samee was referring to you TaT, but to the group of smear merchants. That’s how I understood it anyway.
Oh yeh, you are right it was DD instead….Hunt
Sorry TaT, it wasn’t you. It was the the c*nts I was referring to.
What a twat.
apology accepted samee.
I will not apologise for my policy of bashing brains out first and asking questions later but you seem like a decent fellow and I am happy to retract all previous insults I have directed at you.
regards,
thick as thieves
Not a complete twat, then.
Sorry both; minor spill in the ‘mind altering drugs; lab. Lets2 fuck harman_pride; shit those drugs are still working
I know where you live…shit’ead
Well we can all relax about smears now – according to Gormless Gord and his Darling assistant the economy will be OK next year. Green shoots everywhere.
Is that a pig I see flying over my local Mosque ?
That’s quite an offensive thing to say you know.
Why?
I think it’s quite a good metaphorical image.
perhaps under Labour mentioning the word ‘pig’ will eventually become illegal as it is offensive.
It will become illegal for supermarkets to sell ham, pork chops and bacon as they too are offensive products.
enough of this nonsense.
I think he meant the Police Helicopter when he meant flying over the mosque. Otherwise quite inoffensive unless you are a McCarthyite racist witchfinder minion denouncer.
Oh darlings.
Bit sensitive to day aren’t we?
I thought this was the home of free speech.
Or is it you just don’t like Mondays

Ed Balls says ‘So what?’

I’m looking forward to seeing Darling announce Winky’s next budget.
What? You didn’t seriously believe that the control freak would let anyone but him decide on how to save the world? Darling only got the job because he can say “Yes Gordon” quickly enough to avoid the incoming mobile. Oh, Scottish too,
Don’t be ridiculous. Darling’s entire life has been dedicated to obtaining sufficient expertise to run a large international economy. Look at his cv. When he’s finished he’ll probably use the additional expertise he’s gained to design Britain’s first space rocket since Blue Streak. We are blessed indeed as a nation to have such talent at our disposal.
If only the FA were so competent; they should kick the Capello firmly into touch and hand the job to someone suitable; I think Mandelson has the experience make a good fist of it, especially against the Brazilians, and could declare victory with a straight face irrespective of the score.
Guido have you had a DNS attack or are Plusnet just crap at displaying your site?
Plusnet, O2 Broadband and BeThere all decided to go missing for this site and a few others like Techcrunch. Too Geeky for Guido to understand never mind explain.
I complained last night – they said it was some tinkering at your webhosters and had taken down several sites.
Up now on Plusnet

That old slapper Jaqui Smith ‘We will look into reducing the 30 year term of keeping secrets to 20 concerning the Hillsborough disaster’.
‘I mean we will look into looking into reducing the term if thats ok with the cops’.
‘In fact I dont know what the fuck I’m talking about it was a ruse to take the heat of No10′.
To use Hillsborough as a deflection tool and also to shore up the Labour vote in the northwest by appearing to give a shit is terrible.
I hope the scousers dont fall for it in fact they should be bloody outraged.
Any other state secrets labour want to use as a smoke screen?
SAS in Gibralter or the General fucking Belgrano perhaps.
They could have an enquiry into the Glencoe Massacre to shore up their vote in Scotland !
No need. Thatcher did it
Too many Campbells involved at the top level in the labour party for that one to work!
Ne’er trust a Campbell!

How are they going to blame THAT on the English?
Doubtless they will try.
Act of Union between England and Scotland was on 1st May 1707.
RE 153
Interviewed later on BBC News, Mr Duncanson issued the following statement.
“I said all along that when I saw this first, I was horrified, I was shocked and I was very angry indeed.
“I take full responsibility for what happened – that is why the person that was responsible went immediately.
“I wrote to those people, I expressed my deep regret. Everything is being done to clean up politics in our country. I ensured that there were new rules, so that this won’t happen again.”

I can’t wait to watch sack of shit Jacqui Smith answer some very awkard questions today.
I have one of my own for her to slime her way out off.
Oh Jacqui why oh why do i have to pay for your leech of a husband to have a wank???
She’s too busy releasing the Hillsborough report on the basis the Thatcher agreements with the police will paint the opposition in a bad light. Make no mistake over her real intention here.
Certainly no doubt about it. The release will be selective and designed for one purpose only – to grab headlines for another 24 hours. It makes me puke.
Guaranteed to ensure it ‘smears’ the opposition but the familys are demending full disclosure
Of course the combined attack also includes the latest headline pedalled on all channels this morning being Alistar Darling is expected to announce that ‘the recession will be over by christmas.’
Why don’t they just say look we have been told this is what he is going to say as we have already bee told.
This is purely Labour changing the subject. To use Hollsborough after 12 years in government strikes a new low even below where most thought they could go.
Because it stops him screwing me, while I’m busy screwing you, you moaning taxpayer!!
The Bubonic Plague of London is back again infesting every part of our lives, Black Rats and Black Death are everywhere…………..carts with bell ringers roaming the streets “bring out your dead!”, “bring out your dead!”………the shape of things to come; Nu Bubonic Labour……vote for Ed Bollocks the next Labour PM.
Add to that image the 3 day week and that is just what it was like when Callaghan was in office.
The 3 day week was Heath’s baby, not Callaghan’s.
Heath was however a Communist plant by the Unions and they bought him a lovely yacht as a reward for allowing the miners to have a few weeks holiday.
“I stayed in the party hoping that with a new leadership we might go back to being a really progressive and caring party. In the event I could not have been more wrong. Under Brown things are just as bad. The decision to privatise the Royal Mail is inexplicable and simply wrong. We said in our 2005 manifesto we would not privatise Royal Mail; we lied.
That manifesto promised a referendum on the European Constitution, we renamed it the Lisbon Treaty and reneged on that promise also.
Now we find out that a website was to be set up in our name whose sole aim was to smear members of the opposition and their families. Well not in my name and, from the response I am having to my decision to resign, not in the name of many party activists either.”
Alice Mahon on why it took her 12 years to resign from Labour: http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/alice-mahon-why-i-could-stay-and-fight-no-longer-1671323.html
Well done Alice, more like you and we maybe get a change but I doubt GB even listens anymore, if he ever did. My father is turning in his grave.
And why didnt she leave after she saw what they did to Walter Wolfgang?
She is just as bad as the rest. She is just a rat leaving a sinking ship.
No. I think it’s easy to believe things will only get better tomorrow. We’ve all fallen for it. Education, anti-social behaviour, NHS, etc, etc. 20/20 hindsight vision is the explaination here. She’s done right by quitting.
Too late to discover a conscience now, dear
Another Scottish bank has closed. The 750 year old Glasgow based JODRELL BANK collapsed this morning leaving disappointed shareholders to rue it’s demise.
A spokeperson for the bank, Gordon McWhelan said the bank collapsed because of the high number of late withdrawals in the last week. This had led to an explosion in demand followed by complete collapse in interest levels after the event.
Blaming the media, the spokesman said the bank had held up well until the release of smears into it’s backside operations. “It’s a queer thing when a bank gaes doon on ya. Things were well in hand until the smears appeared. Well, now we’re finished and the clean up job begins”.
The Home Secretary, Dick Reditch, said he was personally disappointed by the bank’s collapse as he had lost his life savings of 88p when the bank went down on him. “I would have pulled the plug earlier if I had known” he said.
“It was nae our fault” said bank chairman Gordon McSociopath. “I regret the closure, but I am nae sorry”.
LOL!
I would like to know who paid for the plug he wanted to pull.
Let’s hope the Dogger Bank doesn’t end up on its knees an’ all.
It’s like the last week never happened.

Never ever believe anything that Mcmentals glove puppet says, if he says it gets dark at night look out the window first.
McMental dictates the lies and his mindless glove puppet repeats them, he only diverges when he misreads McMentals awful handwriting.
Glove puppet Darling has been wrong about everything, his predictions can only de relied upon to be wrong, everything he stutters and mumbles is meaningless drivel from the retarded brain of the dementicon prime.
Gissaklu?
Guido has information that nails Ray Collins and puts him right behind the wenb and e-mail prijects so bear with him Guido has a lot to consider! When it does come out, the Mirrors McGuire is seriously going to have to consider his position as he’s denied the Mirror readership such an obvious exclusive. Or perhaps he really didn’t see the importance of the story unfolding before his very eyes. But then what is news these days? Manufactured news laced with comment and no attempt to stand up stories before publication. Welcome to the Jade Goody Generation, with sh*t for brains….
We don’t feel we need to comment – it’s all in the title – and now on BBC 3 – “Snog,Marry,Avoid”
P.S.
On BBC 1 tonight we launch the new series of “Ashes to Ashes”(no pun intended) “Fire up the Quatro”!!!!!!!!! Much better than watching our crap news broadcasts and more believable too.
Sources close to Ms Smith have said the report by British Transport Police chief Ian Johnstone into the raid on Mr (Damien) Green’s office would show the MP was guilty of “reprehensible behaviour”.
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23677337-details/MP+accuses+Jacqui+Smith+of+running+scared+over+Green+fiasco/article.do
using words like ‘guilty’ is the perogative of juries and magistrates.
otherwise it is defamation.
“reprehensible behaviour” – since when was that a crime?
Ms Smith accusing anyone of reprehensible behaviour is the ultimate in reprehensible behaviour.
Maybe the nice Mr Johnstone would like to give us the benefit of his opinion on the legality of Ms Smith’s expenses. Illegal or reprehensible? What’s going to be – do you want to go 50 /50 or phone a friend? I have a government minister on the line who will tell you what to say if it helps.
So standing up for the people of this country and exposing wrongdoing and incompetence and abject failure at the home office is “reprehensible behaviour” to labour then. I trust that when they are the third party in the commons that they will NOT be exposing any of the government failings then? Or is she referring to the act of telling the truth as reprehensible? I know labour never do that.
Just heard you on LBC’s Nick Ferrari prog – nicely done though shame it wasn’t a 3-hander with Toynbee
Your up early Guido, heard you on LBC, well done.
Just heard you on LBC Guido – well done. Glad you got the blog visitors number in as Nick Ferrari was writing blogs as insignificant the other week.
That Polly Toynbee needs a fecking good kicking though – what an absolute bullsh1tting, hypocritical, delusional troll she is.
“The Thought Police (thinkpol in Newspeak) are the secret police of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four whose job it is to uncover and punish thoughtcrime. The Thought Police use psychology and omnipresent surveillance to find and eliminate members of society who are capable of the mere thought of challenging ruling authority.”
And they told Orwell he was being ridiculous. Such things would NEVER happen in Britain !!!!!!!
The thing is this lot se Orwell’s 1984 not as a novel but rather as an instruction manual.
That’s the bit I don’t understand. If they’re all deeply repressed homos, why are they all so ugly? Is it a gay fetish thing – fat/drunk/hideous/closeted – a new sexual minority? Who knows…..

That’s why I’m the Squanderer

Kinnock is windbagging over on the Guardian CiF if you fancy some sport.
Talking shite as usual. My God, the hypocrisy of the man, talking about child poverty. I calculated that the scrapping the ID card scheme would give every poor child in the country 250k in cash, each.
No one is poor with liquid assets of 250K.
Celia Walden on Sky newspaper review continues to pedal the Daily Telegraph (and government) line that Gordon knew nothing, it is all the fault of the internet and all the parties are at it. They are just mouthpieces for Labour.
Mmmm…… ” I knew nothing!” and “I was just following orders !” have certain unsavoury connections to them but then again that is always the final refuge of a “party apparatchik” when they’re found out
Unfortunately i had the tv muted when she came on, but i could watch her for hours, like that.. That section not being rerun on the red button yet.
Very sorry to see that Paxo has Parkinsons; i’m sure we all wish him a speedy recovery- and Jane Asher
Celia Walden is obviously another Labour mouthpiece. To blame the internet implies that its users have no control over what they send out. Stupid cow! She had nothing of substance to say – unlike James Whale, who says what everyone is thinking. Maybe Sky should get him on contract to appear on there every day.
Did you see that Labour toady Chris Roberts when James was on with him last week? Roberts had the sort of look on his face that would turn milk sour when James was having his usual (funny)rants. No love lost there I think.

I heard Nick this morning back from his holls..
It really is shocking that the BBC have noone other than Nick to report on parliament.
Till now the BBC have accepted that every one was telling the truth about McBride being ‘one of hundreds of people in #10′ and that balls barely knew him.
Nick turns up, poo poos the denials and that is immediately the new BBC truth.
Why is it the BBC only have Nick to rely on? Why is it that only Nick is considered ‘credible’ by the BBC.
We (the public) are being ill served by such dependence on a single gatekeeper.
Screw you guys, I’m going home!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/5185090/Gordon-Brown-to-appear-on-South-Park.html
That used to be the closing down .WAV on my computer some years ago.
He’s not worthy, no I mean really not, not sarcastic not……
“In the episode to be aired later this year, Mr Brown becomes part of an international plot to steal money from aliens in a bid to solve the global recession.”
Er, British people surely?
“to be aired later this year” as in was on UK telly a few days ago and will be repeated on Friday (Comedy Central, 9:30PM). I suppose Friday is later this year. The episode is called Pinewood Derby.
Stan’s father suggested destroying Finland because Finland wanted to be honest with the aliens about the stolen money from the first alien space ship. The UK PM merely said “yah” among the chorus of other international leaders wanting to nuke Finland. At first viewing the UK PM seemed to me to be more a generic character and didn’t particularly strike me as being Brown, but in hindsight (and watching it again) there is a vague resemblance I suppose. I don’t think Brown is particularly important enough to lampoon accurately, and if they got the voice I guess nobody would understand what he was saying.
I don’t know why the Telegraph would want to big-up Brown like this, making him seem important enough for Stone and Parker to specifically derive humour from him. It was the world leaders as a whole that the humour came from.
There was a South Park episode a few seasons ago about the Brown Note which would cause everyone to shit themselves.
Correction: it’s on at 9:00PM on Friday.
It’s actually on an 9 PM, not 9:30.
I thought the first correction didn’t show up.. oh never mind.
I heard Nick Robinson on Radio 4 this morning. Back off his hols and busy into labour propagandising. saying that he left as the G20 success was in the news and came back to a disaster, now labour need to start talking about being hard at work helping people in their real lives and get away from the Westminster village tittle tattle, the budget this week will help and the unemployment figures will help as it will define them as working hard to build a recovery. Whereas those tories will be banging on about failure….
Could he be any more blatant? I am sure it must have been scripted by Mandelson himself.
He is Mandelson
They can do wonders with technology today.
All you need is some smoke and some mirrors and … hey presto
“G20 Success” ? Did I miss it ?
Didn’t you mean “Hey, Pesto!”?
yes, the G20 a great success

Also, can we have the ‘smiling in the back of the limo’ shot placed somewhere on the homepage until he goes?
Has anyone actually thought about this: we are at most only a year or so away from NwLbr being slung from office. We get to see their defeated faces that say ‘Oh my God, they really do hate us!’ Can you imagine how happy we will all feel? Course we’ll still be in an economic depression but we’ll have the sheer, exhilirating joy of seeing their defeat. We’ll see the BBC scum’s faces too: livid with fear at the thought of what is coming to them soon for what they have done. NwLbr is finished as a political force in this country forever! We can hear the former MP’s perdeictable defeat platitudes in a state of pure bliss! ‘Well it’s been a terible night for Labour. I think we’ll need a lot of soul searching, a lot of examination of where we went wrong. Clearly the British people have decided after three terms of Labour they want change and they have voted for change blah, fucking blah! We are nearly there. Stiffen the sinews for the final charge!!!! Victory or death!
Believe me nothing is certain until the votes are all counted and the Conservatives have a majority and you see Cameron driving up t”The Mall” to “Kiss Hands!”.
There is going to be a hell of a dirty,nasty fight. We’re going to have to fight for every single vote in every single constituency. We need to repeat Labours landslide of 1997 and it’ll be more difficult because of the inbuilt advantage for Labour in Scotland and the North and with most of the mainstream media against us but the price of not winning is going to be pretty disastrous for the country – we cannot afford another 5 years of Labour
Who will be Guido’s third head? THE THIRD HEAD
Good article that. It’s clear there’s more to come and the Guido is playing the long game. He’s all but admitted that he will do the violence on Tom Watson if no-one else will.
Yesterday’s posts were just maneuvering the pieces into position before the ‘big wallop’ one.
I know Guido’s mischievous drip-drip method wound some readers up yesterday (incl Mike Smithson at politicalbetting) but if that’s happening to us then imagine what it must be doing to Number 10? I guarantee that a whole new set of F5 buttons will claimed on Parliamentary expenses soon.
Thing is it’s budget week, the news will be dominated by that, Guido is waiting for a quiet news day like he did with Mcbride and the Easter break and then it’ll be; ‘see how like them apples’
T T The ‘Drapers Debts’ piece, from the Sunday mirror, is interesting. The say blah blah parking fines, $2,000 owed. Then drop in the £100,000 owing on a business loan outstanding. Why would dolly’s mate, toilets , let them run the piece, is it a different editor having a turf war, a deck clearing exercise, or a spot of retribution for landing toilets in the doo doo ? answers on a postcard please.
Petty revenge and retribution played by petty and small people, childish midgets getting even for petty wrongs.

AD spouted off this morning about how the recession will get better by 2010. A long enough lapse to give people hope, even though another million poor sods will have lost their jobs by then.
He also said that plans were afoot to save £15bn at Westminster. I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m so sick of hearing this drivel.
Mods – what was wrong with this comment? I posted it at 09.08 and it’s still awaiting moderation.
Well there is a coffee to drink, bacon roll to finish and maybe, just maybe your comment will get some attention.
Good to hear Nick Robinson is back from his holidays separated ‘from all sources of news’ – and soundly mildly pissed off that he wasn’t around to give the PM a fighting chance against his awful woes over Easter…
Even Jim Naughtie thought that Ed Balls’ defence was weak and woeful.
Nick Robinson say he was “Separated from all sources of news ?” – Where’s he been up the bloody Amazon ?
As regards Ed Balls’ defence surely Naughtie meant to say – “So weak !”
Always up something, that man.
You’ve managed to destabilise them wonderfully.They’re all as paranoid as their master now.
Here’s another smear, by Jackie Ashley in today’s Hoonian:
“All I’d say is that Brown has always proved more resilient than any normal person.”
So, there we have it, Brown is not normal!
Comes with having an titanium-encased heart of deepest Jade, coupled with the exoskelington of self repairing, Nano-bot controlled diamond, covered with Rhino hide.
BBC shilling about upcoming spending cuts from ZNL. No comment on how the so-called cuts would all come when in all likelihood the conservatives are back in.
That’s funny, a few weeks back I could have sworn that ZNL were saying that the last thing the economy needed was tory cuts just as the economy was “starting to recover”. I guess cuts must be okay only if labour says so.
Nice to see the Noble Lord Mandelson and Gordon at my old “alumni” this morning giving the state of the economy some spin- “Its some time since I was a university lecturer…..” said Gordon. Never mind, Gord with a bit of luck you can go back to it soon
From 1976 to 1980 he was employed as a lecturer in Politics at Glasgow College of Technology (so not a university lecturer then).
Well, labour seem to think that cuts = sacked nurses, doctors, teachers and starving pensioners to death, I wonder how many of those will be admitted to by the labour party. They constantly attack the tories over this, so how come that is suddenly acceptable?
I very much doubt that labour will cut down on chewing gum inspection co-ordinators and global warming advisers and a thousand other non-jobs. They will not even scrap the ID card scheme and the other freedom and privacy destroying databases.
There is over 50 BILLION that could be saved easily in this budget without sacking a single nurse, doctor or teacher and no pensioner need starve to death either.
Besides, it is not what is in the budget speech that is important, after all most of it is leaked to the press in advance these days and that used to be a resigning matter. It is what is left out to be unveiled over the following days upon close examination of the red book. THAT is the important information.
This morning Mrs Draper was back on GMTV sofa as if nothing had happened. I notice that the reports of smeargate were referred briefly to by an independent reported at No 10 in an outside broadcast but little if actually nothing was discussed on the story of the day in the studio. I am just wondering how Ms Draper can now ever be considered totally impartial in any further interviews / discussion she has with ANY politician that appears on the sofa?
Lowest interest rates in history don’t you mean!
Correct but the countries bust to achieve it so not a good badge of honour. Mind you it won’t stop Labour twisting the facts and touting this in a few years time when they think the stupids have forgotten everything else. I can even hear the ginger chipmunk saying it now
“remember! remember when we ad’ lowest interest rates in history”
Any party that can still waffle on about the drop in the ocean of Black Wednesday when they themselves have achieved this sort of debt and destruction has to be totally detatched from reality.
Lowest interest rates in history? Maybe for AD and his merry men at the Treasury, maybe for those of us (un)fortunate enoughto have a mortgage (offset by negative equity of course) but for the rest of us….. The cost of borrowing for the rest of us Peons is the same if not higher than 12 months ago! So much for quantative easing. Plus pay a lump sum off a credit card and see your credit limit magically reduce.
The headline rate is, as everything is with this mendacious mob, an irrevelavance.
All spin and bullshit.
The comment was a response to Harman_Pride (now moderated out) boasting about low interest rates. It was meant to be an ironic comment about how truly deeply we are in trouble.
It’s all spin though, isn’t it. Instead of harping on about what you think the public want – try asking us. I think you’ll be really surprised

Here we go again!
Daily Mail today.
“I’ll name and shame four top Tories, claims (Miss Whiplash) prostitute with links to George Osborne.
She was implicated in the Damian McBride e-mail scandal last week.
McBride alleged Mr Osborne had sex and took drugs with a prostitute, a claim which the Shadow Chancellor strongly denies”.
The BBC and Sky will love it.
if you say it often enough then people will believe it. The black arts group have not gone away and will only be removed by the removal of this most corrupted government of all time.
So the dirty tricks have not been stopped, but Guido has given the labour insiders the PERFECT plausible deniability on these smears. “Of course these smears are not coming from labour, they shut down and got rid of the people involved with dirty tricks didn’t they!”
Brilliant! They will be twice as bad now, Guido has not stopped them, he has UNLEASHED them!
*Under Labour we have seen the longest sustained period of manipulation of statistics on record, especially those relating to inflation, GDP and unemployment
*Even though the G7 has been replaced by the G8 for many years, as a Labour apparatchik, HP prefers statistics that are hopelessly out of date
*Evidence suggests that economic migrant immigrants are often forced to set up as self-employed, while changes to VAT regulations have encouraged the splitting of businesses into smaller units
*Over the past 10 years, benefits have grown very rapidly, paid for by the taxes of the productive

A tourist visit for Mr Timney while his Mrs performs in Parliament:

As we know, the answer to life, the universe and whether she could make a statement about Damian Green is 42.
I’ve lost count of the number of news presenters, journalists and commentators who have claimed on national TV that “Of course Gordon Brown knew nothing about it”. They haven’t got the first clue whether GB was aware or not so why aren’t they challenged when they make this assertion.
It is called “The Manuel Defence”
l did not see any e’mails and l did not have sexual relations with that woman
Im still trying to work out who is the toon about!
it’s behind you
