Laser Printer not Lobbed at Lucky Leaders

Looks like the leaders of the opposition parties were lucky not to get a Nokia to the temple administered by the Prime Mentalist.  Reports from the meeting to discuss reforming MP’s expenses have a shouting Brown shaking his fist at the other party leaders shouting ‘We have to get this sorted! We have to get this sorted!’ repeatedly.

Clegg called time on the meeting which saw Brown blame Cameron for bringing the subject up repeatedly at PMQs.  Tsk, tsk, tsk.  Asking the PM questions at PMQs.  Enough to drive him bonkers…

    I thought this summed it up perfectly

    To the Tory leader’s astonishment, Mr Brown said: ‘If you didn’t keep raising this at Prime Minister’s Questions, we wouldn’t be in this situation.’

        Brilliant speech. This is what worries me about Cameron… listening to Hannan, you ‘see’ the horizon he is pointing beyond the obstacles towards… listening to Cameron all you get is a description of the obstacles.

        ‘listening to Cameron’ … bleat bleat bleat.

        Who is Hannan? Has he ever had to work with other people? Does he actually lead the party?

        No. I am told he is a … journalist!

        In fact I probably agree with every word Hannan says – but then 20 years ago I would have said the same about Nicholas Winterton.

        When will the bleating sheep not realise that being a party leader you have to keep a broad church of a coalition that is a major national political party together AND be plausible to the vast army of floating voters you need for election victory.

        Oh and when the shit really hits the fan you have to be able to take all these people with you down a long and difficult road.

        Difficult? Not half. Downright impossible I’d say. My ambitions are low, but given the huge mistakes made these last 12 years the bar is not very high. Remove the dead hand of government as much as possible and make what is left more enlightened.

        ‘Set the People Free’ really.

        Good speech – but it’s really about time people started putting the boot into ZaNuLabour and all its works. Quoting from Shakespeare is all well and good, but even though Hannan mentioned his daughters paying off Browns’ expenditure for all most of their adult lives, there was still no venom.

        These hoons have spent 11 years destroying this country and yet the ‘opposition’ are still giving them a free ride – Ye Gods this makes the blood boil! When, oh when are we going to get an opposition that will go for the jugular, stop ‘playing the political game’ and recognise that people are really, truly sickened by this shower of shit that are in government?!

        I am *not* a Conservative, and my vote is *not* ‘there for the taking’ – so if you’re listening ‘call me Dave’, I want to see your entire party eviscerate this lot, I want you to start making me think that politics in this country might have some integrity behind it, I want you to stop any and all ‘cooperation’ with ZaNuLabour. I have *never* felt so angered at a government than I have with this lot – they have brought our country into disrepute.

        I used to think that having the Conservatives and Labour in office in a perpetual see-saw manner was ok, and that I could live with that. The behaviour of this lot has convinced me that ZaNuLabour needs to be utterly destroyed – they must never have a chance to be in office again – they simply cannot be trusted with our nation.

        Al,
        Are you sure that Hannan is ‘Foreign Secretary material’ – I mean, David Milliband is the incumbent, so its a terribly low ask for Hannan – he’s worth more than that.

        I know it used to be a respected badge of office, but this shower of excrement have made virtually every cabinet office a joke.

        In fact, is there any ZaNuLabour apparatchik that is worthy of their salt?

      The prime minister still has a bit of wriggle room left.

        Having Hannan speak is purely damage limitation by Cameron, he had to do ‘something’ given the popularity of Daniel Hannan’s internet fame. The ‘something’ that Cameron will do will not extend to letting members of Better Off Out onto the front benches… so even if Hannan entered the HofC he would have to speak from the back benches.
        A good speech though, Cameron should have invited Nigel Farage along as well, they could have done a double act.

        No 10 Petitions Website
        In 2006 the Prime Minister’s Office in No 10 Downing Street approached mySociety about building a petitions website.

        The No 10 Petitions website is now perhaps the largest non-partisan democracy site by volume of users ever, with over 8m signatures from over 5m unique email addresses, representing something like 10% of the entire UK population. At its peak nearly 200,000 people signed up to the service in a single day, proving the hyper-robust underlying code upon which it was built.

        When developing the site, mySociety insisted on various features before accepting the contract, such as:

        open source code
        private data all held on mySociety’s servers
        a low limit on the number of messages No10 could send to signers
        a ‘rejections’ page showing the maximum possible information on petitions that have been rejected.
        Since then we have also been allowed to introduce code that deletes email and postal addresses older than a year.

        The petitions website is now available for re-branding and re-use as a local council petition service, for both on and offline petitions.

    Warning! The so-called Titan Arum, Amorphophallus Titanum Brownenis, which comes into season once every 4 or 5 years when circumstances force it to achieve an election, is shortly going to be going tumescent.

    A native originally of Scotlandshire, the Titan has been transplanted into Whitehall, an area of London infamous for being infested with various pernicious pests, where it has unfortunately thrived in the fetid conditions.

    The Titan exudes an unpleasant smell at all times, but when in “flower” the stench is almost unbearable, and attracts carrion beetles and vultures who fight over the rancid emissions.

        Perhaps, as well as Dr Feelgood’s scale, you could add pictures for each level of bonkersness such as a flying pen, smashed Nokia, disintegrated printer, empty bank, ruined country,… and the highest level could be represented by one of GB’s creepy psycho-smiles.

        You could Get the Met Office to create a new Brown Bonkers dept to provide daily forecasts, should be essential for civil servants (and opposition leaders) to help them avoid flying printers.

        Or it could be something exotic, like ibogaine. These rages and tantrums and weird episodes made me dig out HST’s “Fear And Loathing: On The Campaign Trail ’72″:

        “. . . and it had long been whispered that Muskie was into something very heavy, but it was hard to take the talk seriously until I heard about the appearance of a mysterious Brazilian doctor. That was the key.

        Big Ed discussed the marijuana question for the dope-smoking students in Madison, Wisconsin, moments before refusing to take a toke himself. Later
        in the campaign, however, it was reported that Senator Muskie was a known user of a powerful drug called Ibogaine. I immediately recognized The Ibogaine Effect — from Muskie’s tearful breakdown on the flatbed truck in New Hampshire, the delusions and altered thinking that characterized his campaign in Florida, and finally the condition of “total rage” that gripped him in Wisconsin.

        There was no doubt about it: The Man from Maine had turned to massive doses of Ibogaine as a last resort. The only remaining question was “when did he start?” But nobody could answer this one, and I was not able to press the candidate himself for an answer because I was permanently barred from the Muskie campaign after that incident on the “Sunshine Special” in Florida . . . and that scene makes far more sense now than it did at the time. Muskie has always taken pride in his ability to deal with hecklers; he has frequently challenged them, calling them up to the stage in front of big crowds and then forcing the poor bastards to debate with him in a blaze of TV lights.

        But there was none of that in Florida. When the Boohoo began grabbing at his legs and screaming for more gin, Big Ed went all to pieces . . . which gave rise to speculation. among reporters familiar with his campaign style in ’68 and ’70, that Muskie was not himself. It was noted, among other things, that he had developed a tendency to roll his eyes wildly during TV interviews, that his thought patterns had become strangely fragmented, and that not even his closest advisors could predict when he might suddenly spiral off into babbling rages, or neocomatose funks.

        In restrospect, however, it is easy to see why Muskie fell apart on that caboose platform in the Miami train station. There he was — far gone in a bad Ibogaine frenzy — suddenly shoved out in a rainstorm to face a sullen crowd and some kind of snarling lunatic going for his legs while he tried to explain why he was “the only Democrat who can beat Nixon.”

        It is entirely conceivable — given the known effects of Ibogaine — that Muskie’s brain was almost paralyzed by hallucinations at the time; that he looked out at that crowd and saw gila monsters instead of people, and that his mind snapped completely when he felt something large and apparently vicious clawing at his legs. We can only speculate on this, because those in a position to know have flatly refused to comment on rumors concerning the Senator’s disastrous experiments with Ibogaine. I tried to find the Brazilian doctor on election Bight in Milwaukee, but by the time the polls closed he was long gone. One of the hired bimbos in Milwaukee’s Holiday Inn headquarters said a man with fresh welts on his head had been dragged out the side door and put on a bus to Chicago, but we were never able to confirm this. . . . ”

        Sounds very similar to me.

    Mr Christopher says:

    How right Charles Clarke was to say Brown had ‘psychological issues.’

    As Brown decomposes back into his constituent parts, the diagnostic criteria from Hare’s ‘Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R)’ come to the fore:

    1. Glibness/superficial charm
    2. Grandiose sense of self-worth
    3. Pathological lying
    4. Cunning/manipulative
    5. Lack of remorse or guilt
    6. Shallow
    7. Callous/lack of empathy
    8. Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

    Didn’t New Labour propose a new law to lock away indefinitely people suffering from “severe personality disorders?”

    Jack Straw can only have had Brown in mind when, in 1999, he said: “We can’t wait while these scientific clinical arguments are sorted out because at the moment hundreds of very dangerous – mainly men – slip through the net and they’re not detained under the mental-health provisions because they’re not regarded as treatable. But also they’ve not committed a very, very serious offence for which they’re given life imprisonment. So if they are in prison now, they come out. There’s no proper way of keeping tabs on them.”

    Will someone ‘keep tabs’ on Gordon Brown after he has been evicted from Downing Street? Brown’s real legacy will be the vast electronic intelligence empire that has flourished under his paranoic hand, so we can only hope that the Terrorologists will be watching him too. Who knows what he might do next?

    Postal Vote says:

    What is the score on Brown’s subletting of his consitutional office, to no lesser party than the unions, who indeed bankroll labour in many ways. Certainly generating income against the rules, which subletting a constituency office constutes to, is just as severe a lapse as overcharging the expense account.

    And did Brown report the rental income in his tax return before his subletting con was found out?

    O/T – but the use of the term “hoon” is increasingly annoying me. Its an Aussie word, usually referring to a teenager who drive too fast or makes too much noise. Even here, it is usually qualified – eg “she’s a f*****g hoon” – indicating it doesn’t quite cut it. Maybe it means something different for you? Surely the English language has something a bit more earthy – even for a family orientated blog.

    While I’m O/T – a couple of suggestions: we have a body called ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption). It’s a sort of court. This body has teeth and usually leads to criminal charges. Also we make more use of Royal Commissions (how ironic is that!). These can be a bit slow, but are usually forensic in detail and often lead to changes in legislation and criminal convictions. A lot of your recent behaviour would end up in one or other of these bodies, if it happened here.

    Interestingly, one of the strongest terms used here to describe unacceptable behaviour is to refer to something as “un-Australian”. Everyone knows what this means. However, this only works in a country that has self-pride and respect. I don’t know if our annual ANZAC day parades this Saturday made it over in the UK, but the sight of former diggers marching with their battle honours and medals is 100% supported here (same in NZ), but I’m betting nothing similar would be allowed in the UK. All Aussie kids sing our national anthem at school and are reared understanding the ANZAC spirit.

    Something has gone very badly wrong in the UK.

      The voters in 2010 will finish this for Brown. Thereafter there will many good books written about his psychological flaws. Sadly we shan’t heal the many people damaged by this new labour experiment including ourselves, the descendents of Dr David Kelly and the Iraqi people. New Labour’s attempts to ape Winston Churchill and Maggie Thatcher by waging the Irag War based on lies will eventually be laughed at, but not until we have cried over it and the losses. This new labour crew is sad! sad!- but we need to get past the next election before we can truly mourn for the damage they have done to us all.

    Isn’t it about time that Brown was sectioned under the Mental Health Act as a danger to himself and others?

      It only takes one social worker to get him sectioned for a 24 hour evaluation. The same worker could then section the Police as well; working their way around the station before moving on to the next.

      With enough social workers (and yes, this country has enough) the whole system could be screwed for many months to come.

    caesars wife says:

    quite enjoyed todays conservative broadside on this governments record , camerons speech was stirring stuff yet mindfull of the electorates slow uptake on what this government has done .

    the problem is that we wont really see the effects of the budget until after the next election , although a few cracks have appeared , when no minister can explain where the money for the 6th form colleges is going to come from , or that mandelsons car idea is about to run out of cash, or the housing debt management site is offline , caesars wife feels a slight whiff in the air , that this government has run out of money , cough sorry i meant our money.

    but for those who cannot remeber what it was like when mrs thatcher came to power , it wasnt like how nu labour came to power in 1997 , john major in 97 was portrayed as dull unexciting and lacking ideas , he wasnt portrayed as a lunatic film director about to make a financial horror movie .

    thatchers rise to power was based on the , theme that the books had to run in reality , why support businesses that could not show a profit , she knew that the component parts of uk business were ailing under , ever more desperate union demands , inflation was at 21% at one point in the 70s so workers wanted pay rises to keep pace , she knew that if inflation could be checked then the real problems would be visible , also the world was about to enter a new international trade era and she wanted britain to be in it .

    we made some truly rubbish goods back then , the busines culture was so bound by the unions , any innovation that meant job losses was crushed in a sort of wierd mix of communism and patriotism . but it was the numbers everything became expensive , investment was about arguments of borrowing and the unions refused to admitt the Uk was going down the pan .

    in 1996 labour had its conference and admitted that it was the economy and declared its self , prudent and promised not to repeat the mistakes . the tories were wiped out , and the mood for better public services was won and kinnocks and foots old socialism was dead and gone.

    1983 was strange new world , new wealth appeared some of it bit garrish but it was like the nitrous button had been pressed and after some pain , the economy settled down and exports appeared and we had real traded wealth .

    in some ways we all understood that if the economy wasnt looked after we all suffered , the magic went and goverments had to look after the golden goose.

    that is why darlings budget does not compute , wether labour thought “i know most people will have forgot the 70s , so lets give marxst ideaology to them ” thinking it would be as new and gleaming and saviour like as gandelphs arrival at helmsdeep with the riders of Rhohan , is beyond me .
    whilst george osbourne admisnistered the cat of nine tails to darlings budget i was wondering if some people didnt perciev why such a cruel sentence should be handed out ?.

    well its because in 97 , we were assured , promised even that labour would never politicise the economy and allow freedom of choice , that is why this budget is such a betryal , for this is a political budget , what other explanation is there “opps i didnt see this comming” hardly excuses a man who declared himself to be a financial genius namely one gordon brown.

    so if your reading guido and wondering why some people feel the way they do , it is because the nutters have lied , they have also spent a future as well as the nations fortune.

    for now darlings budget doesnt seem to affect anything , we cant feel the future effects , we cant see the wealth gap norrowing and the economy slowing , but it will .

    i have always hated political budgets , the mini booms , the tax of one year only to go up the next , all parties dabble in them , but what is different with darlings budget , is its lack of options in the future , he has not only poisened the next goverments abilities , but denied ordinary people the right to a free and stable life , to live with little state control .

    bizarrely this budegt is showing us what type of labour government is envisaged , Id cards , controlling your life , class war , all very orwellian in my opinion , but then just as labour think we are all brainwashed enough to walk like sheep for conversion into beautiful state control without a whimper, they are sussed , same old fake nonsense , contriving to make you think you need more state control , by clevery crafted fears and decpetions .

    i can only ponder how much non frontline service public money has been wasted on the propganda , let alone to fund projects abroad that had no return .

    i believe it as wonk ideaology because it relies on the idea that you must all behave the same , so it either mind bends or uses the stasi to make you fit the mould , this subtle form of none answer of questions , labour think is clever , marxism ends in either highly tense mind bended societies or brutal police states and dictators , it is uanable to go anywhere else.

    and as i hope will be proved the people will reject labour at the bollot box as untrustworthy , corrupt, decitfull and sorry that we were conned .as well of course of sending our economy and the peoe who live it ,over a cliff .

    i know how the bloke in the song “LOLA” felt

    We are only one step away from a banana republic. I can’t see Brown calling a general election ever. He is power mad. When the next general election is due he’ll declare a state of emergency and make himself president for life. His bullying temper tantrums, the police state and the army stationed abroad makes it easy for him to avoid facing reality. His behaviour, state policies and financial strategies are tantamount to treason.
