Sunday Sleaze
Looks like two Labour peers have been found guilty of taking cash for amendments. The Sunday Times reports that Lord Taylor of Blackburn and Lord Truscott face a one year suspension.
A years suspension from the gravy train? They just got caught trying to sell legislation, isn’t whoring out parliament a bit more serious than that punishment suggests? Is there really no criminal sanction available?
We still have yet to hear the outcome of the investigation into Alistair Darling’s old flatmate, Lord Moonie. Guido would also love to get to the bottom of the financial relationship between Moonie, Gordon Brown and Darling. We know Moonie paid Gordon Brown handsomely for his old Kennington flat which he then sub-let to Alistair Darling. We are clearly not dealing with an obscure outsider here, we are dealing with someone at the corrupt heart of Labour’s Scottish Raj. Did Darling claiming an allowance from the taxpayers to be paid to his mate Moonie? Isn’t that a little too cosy a use of public money?
UPDATE I : The proxy battle for the soul of the Labour party being waged by Blairites via the candidacy of Georgia Gould, 22 year old daughter of Philip, one of the architects of New Labour, is hotting up. Unsealed ballot boxes, dirty tricks, offers of ministerial bribes, mendacious “uncle Ally” Campbell lobbying on her behalf and finally the sitting Labour MP calling for a police investigation into irregularities. This is the future of the Labour Party.
UPDATE II : Tommy McAvoy, the whip behind Gordon’s expense plans, has had a million quid in expenses, employs multiple family members at the taxpayer’s expense and owns a pub according to the Mail on Sunday. Time please…
UPDATE III : The News of the World says that according to Labour’s own internal polling – based on polls and focus groups carried out over the past two weeks – Guido’s two favourite topics; MP’s sleaze and MP’s expense fiddling have destroyed the Labour Party’s electoral hopes:
* Voters think Labour are now sleazier than the Tories.
* Even if Brown fixes the economy, voters still don’t want another Labour government.
One senior Labour insider told the News of the World: “This is an awful toxic mix for us. The research shows we have lost the one advantage we had over the Tories.
“People always thought Labour stood for helping other people, for social justice, while the Tories stood for self interest.
“Now they think we are sleazier than the Tories.”
So defeat will, based on the Labour Party’s own polling research, officially be due to sleaze. It will be, to coin a phrase, “Guido wot won it”…
Meanwhile Jowell is reported in the Mail to offer ‘cash for candidates’ by inferring in an email seen by the Daily mail that funds would be available for Ms Gould if voted to stand.
Is nothing this lot touch free from corruption and sleeeze?
The Erith and Thamesmead saga is just another example of Labour’s attempt to control everything they are involved in. It has also exposed yet another attempt to manipulate the postal voting system. A system brought in by Labour to boost their vote and which has been totally and corruptly misused in some areas.

THE party chairman in a safe Labour seat targeted by the 22-year-old daughter of a party grandee has complained that the bitter contest broke election rules.
In a letter to constituency members obtained by The Sunday Times, Frank Lerner, the Erith and Thamesmead Labour chairman, said that some of them had been “harassed” in their homes to apply for postal votes in breach of party rules.
One member claimed this weekend that a canvasser for Georgia Gould, daughter of the Labour peer Lord Gould, had turned up on his doorstep with a postal vote application filled in with his name and address.

wot is problem here?
I imagine Photoshops going to be busy what with all those ‘cut-n-paste’ signatures. It’ll save traipsing around knocking on doors & lying to voters – how Mugabe must be pissing himself laughing
Sleaze is alive and thrives at the heart of Westminster for the entire world to see.
By association those that work at Westminster are also tainted by sleaze greed and corruption, gutless cowards one and all that stand by the guilty, impotent and worthless, laughed at in Europe despised in the USA and increasingly irrelevant in the UK.
The BBC and likewise drunken media its spread eagled whore.
The Independent on Sunday scores double whammy!
Revealed: Cameron’s freebie to apartheid South Africa
The “exclusive” headline labels Cameron a rascist. Brilliant Damien, bound to sell a few papers. Obviously the result of some first class investigative reporting. After all it has taken 20 years to winkle out and bring to the British Public’s attention this disgraceful episode in a potential Prime Minister’s previous career.
What a scoop! This paper’s determination to publish the lurid details of Cameron’s disgusting activities at the earliest opportunity is an example to Worlwide journalism. Credit must be laid at the Sub-editor’s door, James Hanning, for fearlessly, and immediatly, publishing the details as soon as they became known to this icon, The Independent on Sunday.
After all, Cameron was 23 at the time and should have known a lot better. With 20 years hindsight we are now able to see exactly what he was at the time. Contrast his actions with those of Peter Hain, quoted in the article, who at the time of the S.A. visit had already been convicted of criminal conspiracy.
Of course the I.o.S might never have learnt the truth were it not for a new edtion of “Cameron: The Rise of the New Conservative”. The facts might never have come to the attention of the MSM were it not for the bravery of the publisher in issuing the book and the co-authours. It is to the latter, who would normally not have any facility to “get this stuff into the public domain” that we must be most grateful. They are Francis Elliott, the deputy political editor of The Times, and wait for it- James Hanning, the deputy editor of The Independent on Sunday.
Brilliant, Damien, should sell a few books.
That the facts have only emerged now is testimony to the tireless work of the I.o.S. staff in uncovering real news for real hardworking families in Britain, and has nothing to do with royalties whatsoever.
The Independent on Sunday. What a poxy rag.
the Indy really is scraping the bottom of the barrel if thats all No. 10 can find to give them.
I could give them a far more productive farrow to plough like
how many former and current labour mp’s including cabinet ministers were paid up members of the communist party and or “marxists of the world unite brigade” when they were twenty?
Don’t forget that it’s alleged that a present cabinet minister, who’s name escapes me at the moment, was said to be spying in his mates for ‘somebody’ when he (or is it a she?) was a student so called militant
Nu Labour recruitment moto “grass your mates up & become a minister”
Crap paper for crap people.
I think we can be truly grateful to Jane Merrick and James Hanning, fearless investigative reporters at the Independent on Sunday, for this ‘revelation’ in respect of the evil Cameron. Clearly they have used subtle and cunning investigative skills, doubtless honed by years of exposure to the seamier side of society, with all its inherent dangers, and at no little risk to themselves. There’s a journalists’ award in this somewhere and well done to them.
If, in 1989, a 23-year-old, not long out of university, cannot say to himself ‘Hang on, in 20 years time I could well be Leader of the Opposition at a time when the country has been brought to its knees by a lunatic, incompetent Prime Minister. And if I want to win the general election I’d better not go on this trip’, then that 23-year-old’s judgement has to be seriously suspect.
I have to say that I had considered the Labour Party to be sleazy, lying and incompetent and Brown a dysfunctional sociopath; and I had intended to vote Conservative at the next general election. But I can see now that there are worse things than illegal wars, cash for honours and legislation, expenses fiddles, pensions grabs, economy ruined by boom and bust, failing health and education systems, loss of freedoms and ghastly government incompetence. Cameron’s sickening, 20-years-old South Africa jaunt has caused the scales to fall from my eyes and put all these things in perspective. I can only express my disgust at Cameron’s wicked folly in one way. I shall vote for five more years of Brown & I urge everyone else to do likewise.
Thanks Jane and James and the Independent on Sunday; you have done us all a great service.
“Without the budgets of our rivals, our team has thrived on its intelligence, wits and bloody cheek.”
The Sindy celebrates its 1000th issue today.
1000 issues of crap, bile, and oozing left-wing supturation.
Dickheads.
And the facts? (You could have saved us having to go to the Indy on Sunday site.)
The young Cameron, working as a Conservative researcher, accepted a freebie fact finding visit to South Africa from a lobbying company with links to the then Botha government.
Blimey!
If this is the most exciting revelation in the Hanning-Elliot book, it must be ineffably boring–and its subject too in all probability.
The Indy has a dreadful reputation at the moment and I always try and stick up for it, but this story is even more dismal than Notts Al indicated. It leaves you sorry for the talentless and underinformed journos who could not come up with anything better.
Surely you mean “implying” rather than “inferring”.
Quite: the hearer “infers”; the speaker “implies”.
Is Mr Jowell advising Mrs Jowell or did I just have a Berlusconi moment.
Seems it runs in the family I blame it on the Italians & the fact that we have minister who signs important documents without reading them
I’m being shadowed.
how many former and current labour mp’s including cabinet ministers were paid up members of the communist party and or “marxists of the world unite brigade”
Exactly! Some fearless journalists needs to write a detailed analysis of the higher echelons of the Labour Party/unions and expose their affiliations past and present to dodgy Communist organisations. With special emphasis on Gordon and his cabinet of Trojan Donkeys.
Then we need to get the information out to the electorate.
Funambulist, I agree, it’s very rare these particular leopards change their spots; whereas there is a very long and well documented history of Communists going beneath the radar and infiltrating other organisations. The Laobur Party following the Foot debacle was charry-ripe for such a takeover.
Communists firmly believe that any means justify their ends – they are without morals and act on a blind loyalty to the party – should I say “The Party’. Red Flag indeed…
This is a really shocking story – esp the details regarding the burglary at the E&T Constituency Agent’s home meaning he was away from the office at precisely the time the office was broken into! – Co-incidence??
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1173566/Tessa-Jowell-offered-Olympic-cash-bid-family-friend-seat-parliament.html
The whole thing also brings into stark focu how totally unsuited this young woman is to be an MP for any constituency – let alone the working class SE London one she is being foisted upon. Her political nous and her understanding of the traditons and repsonsibilities of being an MP are zilch
This multi-millionaire clique which has hijacked the Labour Party has neither morals nor sense – just a gross sense of their own ‘entitlement’
Even if she is shoe -horned into the Thamesmead-Erith seat I’m not sure it’s as “safe” as she or zanulabor or even oldliebor might wish to believe!!!
Nice one Dave.
It’s because they too busy submerged in sleaze.
What does ‘malfeasance in public office’ cover, these days …?
Er…is it upholding pre election promisses?
Someone should start a blog about all this filth in politics. It could really help annoy people.
Wakey, wakey!!

There are far too many of these stories just below the radar to make us feel relaxed about State interference. As the bunker mentality in Downing St gathers mass, we will see more.

Any chance of these pigs getting swine flu?
Probably since it started in America(well Mexico’s near enough)
First symptom’s of swine flu. Unstoppable urge to falsify expense sheets.
I thought the trots came 1st?
Swine flu: don’t worry Gordon will be able to eliminate it when he’s saving the world. It’s the right thing to do, you know.
Gordon and his Hoons have all got the trots(shits) and most of them are trots as well. So, the trots do come first!
It started in Mexico.
Only swine flu!!!!
Treason would fit the bill nicely and a Tyburn jig to amuse us all.
Hanger Lane is quite popular
Only a slight chance but, did oonie pay Brown a premium on the house purchase because he was to get a tenant who was happy to pay over the odds in rent.
nice twist on it frank , i bet your right
The interesting question is, was a 2nd home allowance paid on it?
Meanwhile, it appears that a Scottish Whip, appointed immediately after Labour took power in 1997, lives in the Eastish End of Glasgow, get my drift regarding Parliamentary Enforcing, employs his wife as his Secretary, his son as his Senior Case Worker and his other son runs the family business; a pub in Glasgow’s “Eastend.”
The title of this MP, Treasurer of the Household, FFSake
It is alleged that the pub is £400, 000 in debt to a bank or a local “benefactor”.
You work it out. Who loves to invest in a cash business?

Funny that all the Labour troughers are fat.
Guido should perhaps look very closely at most, if not all, Glasgow’s labour MPs – the East End ones being the most illustrative – and look for the one thing that connects them all. The term ‘mafia’ should not necessarily apply to only Italian gangsters. There is some serious shit happening (and has happened) here…
Fucking delicious!
Fucking Delicious Having lived in Glasgow I can second that. The machinations of Labour in Scotland AND the NE of England (remember Poulson amongst others) would make the Mafia run & hide
And now they are trying to turn Erith & Thamesmead into one of their Rotten Boroughs.
It would serve them right if it went to the LibDems, and would not surprise me either
Tho the Lib-Dems are quite likely – and once they get a seat they rarely lose it, bar that silly Animal Rights woman Jackie Ballacks who was kicked out in Newbury, woop woop!
I was in hospital after a op, refused to sleep, a nurse came running when that result came up LOL
It was the hunting lobby wot won it!
ANOTHER CURRUPT FUCKER !
Let’s hear it for Die Krupps – one of Germany’s finest hardcoredeathmetalgobpunkhairy bands.
oh – yes back to subject: Labour are a bunch of sleazebaggobspiteshithead corrupt fuckers.
I agree re the Lords if their peers (no pun intended) can find them guilty surely the Police would/could reach the same conclusion? As for MPs I suspect, sorry I KNOW, that IF the expenses are published in July they will make what has gone before look mild. Rumours of second homes abroad wtf?
I hate the way Brown et al keep talking about reform – yes the system needs reform but I want the thieving buggers to pay for their abuse to date. I suggest that second homes, and contents, should be sold when the MP leaves office and the proceeds returned to the exchequer. To the extent that the MP could demonstrate that they funded any of the costs (deposit etc) they could keep this money but we would get everything else including profit. The logic behind this is their own, or as I call it the Jacqui Smith defence ‘I need a second home to do my job’ – therefore no job = no second home needed. If they want to keep it they can – by paying back all ‘capital’ expenses claimed on it. If they argue that they would have bought it anyway then it is not wholly for their job and any claims would be fraudulent. In this way Jacqui Smith would have to sell her second home in Redditch – no problem because she could move her family into her main home – bunk beds available from John Lewis. Alternatively if she wanted to keep her second home in Redditch she would just have to pay back the cost of any mortgage payments, fixtures and fittings claimed since she started claiming for it. Simple.
The peers MAY face sanctions. Only may. So place your bets please, for a stern admonishment and nothing else.
So you can get sacked from the home Office for whistle blowing, but fuck all happens if you whore yourself selling laws for cash.
All animals are equal except the pigs. And strangely, all the important people in the Labour Party do physically, morally and socially resemble pigs, don’t they?
I think that’s offensive to pigs! Real pigs are rather interesting animals.
Pigs covert the unwanted into the contents of a tasty sandwich. Politicians just covert cash into shit
I like that a lot Bustop. It’s fair and correct and of course Our Dear Leader will I am sure agree and impliment it imediately.
More likely I think that swine flew.
A commendable plan BUSTOP. A shame that no members of the current political class would vote for it. That may mean that Brown, for the sake of all the existing politicians, needs to call an election before publication date in July. After then, “none of the above” may well be in power and with the current economic conditions, applying BUSTOP’s plan retrospectively for say, 10 years, looks a winner.
Oh I forgot, so easy with this lot,
He also claims as second house allowance and has rental from a third.
Roll on full disclosure.
Smeragate Drapergate:What the papers say
Oh, what a lovely day it is! In more ways than one!
I see Gordon Brown’s nasty little gang are still using certain journalists to smear their Blairite opposition today: Tessa Jowell in the Mail on Sunday and James Purnell in the Express.
Brown, Balls, and co must realise the game’s up for them and smears like this will only come back to bite them.
There’s mountains of dirt on Brown and Balls that could be released to papers like the Sunday Times.
If they carry on attacking Blairites then everyone will get to hear about it.
Waht afacinating post pray do tell more.
I think it’s a less-than-subtle warning to Brown and Balls.
Perhaps we’ll get to see the famous rocking horse photo or hear more about all those trips to Cape Cod?
What’s that about Cape Cod?
Smearing Tessa Jowell is kicking the ball at an open goal
Anon, the rocking horse photo is easily enough found online, but doesn’t look authentic to me
Of course there may be another one, but I doubt it! I think it’s an amusing urban myth
Purnell claims £400 a month to eat like a pig. Now we know he also lives like one.

A BRITISH agent has thrown the war against drug traffickers into chaos by leaving top secret information about covert operations on a bus in South America. In a blunder that has cost taxpayers millions of pounds and put scores of lives at risk, the drugs liaison officer lost a computer memory stick said to contain a list of undercover agents’ names and details of more than five years of intelligence work. It happened when the MI6-trained agent left her handbag on a transit coach at El Dorado airport in Bogota, Colombia. Intelligence chiefs were forced to wind up operations and relocate dozens of agents and informants amid fears the device could fall into the hands of drugs barons.
The incident, which was hushed up by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), the agent’s employer, is an embarrassment for the government. It is another blow for Jacqui Smith, the home secretary, who has ultimate responsibility for Britain’s anti-drugs operations and the safeguarding of criminal intelligence.
If the spook’s handbag is anything like my wife’s, the memory stick will probably never be found.
Bloody handbags are a liability. Why cant women have overstuffed pockets like us blokes?
Funny enough I knew of a WPC who left her gun in a public toilet and she also took her firearm home by mistake on another occassion.

Thanks, Chris, I had no idea. Good spot!
I once was going to get a ticket from a Plod-ess for parking in a newly marked bay (done overnight and not clear) where I had previously parked regularly off and on without problem for 10 + years previously. She tried to find her ticket book in her handbag and couldn’t. Being a gentleman I even offered to hold it for her while she fettled around inside to get it. (She was quite a stunner).
Anyway after all the normal ‘lippy’ eyeliners and tampons falling everyehere she just gave up and gave me a verbal warning instead.
Titter ye not!

Speaking of BBC jollys, I saw on the news today a broadcast from the BBC India election train. Election train!!??!! WTF.
BBC News website describes a 7-coaches train, to travel for 18 days over 8,000km to cover the Indian election. Starting at Delhi and calling at Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bhubaneshwar, Calcutta, Patna and Allahabad.
Now, I’ll be interested to hear the result of this election and, maybe, a specific item of interest between now and the election in mid-May. But wall-to-wall coverage? And how many BBC techies, journos and support staff are involved in this mega-production? God only knows how much this little lot is costing the licence payer.
If he’s got an ounce of common left he would do us all and himself a huge favour by quitting.
Nobody blames him for this cataclysmic economic disaster and if he did walk the culprit sitting in No. 10 would be minus his patsy.Mention has been made of a reshuffle and murmurings against Darling are in the media which could mean the chop anyway.
He really has got nothing to lose because Labour party support is going down the plughole and the whole economy appears to be focused not on the Country but Brown’s survival.
Go on Alistair if not for the Labour Party do it for yourself and Britain and we would all respect you for it.
We’d have all respected him a lot more if he’d refused to deliver Broon’s Budget for him and resigned BEFORE these proposals were put into place.
Dare we hope the House of Commons will bot it down? Shame on any MP which votes for it

Good grief! You were right, there really is!
Sounds like a Panic to me !
I’d have thought that the no reciepts required argument would appeal to the Labour MP’s. They would no longer be embarrassed with the list of items being claimed for, a free for all cash give away – exactly what Labour want…
The remarks – ‘Chief Whip Nick Brown was locked in talks to spare Mr Brown a humiliating defeat in the vote on his proposal. Many Labour MPs are opposed to the ‘no receipts’ plans…’ sounds unrealistic. Brown knows that Labour MP’s are in it for as much fill of the trough as possible – and this is the perfect solution – pig out without the slightest possibility of future recriminations!
Dr Nuts.
Future recriminations are; trough till you drop for the next 12 months and then lose your trough for the next 12 years.
When the rules for conduct in the Lords were written, there was such a thing as “Honour”. While there is no doubt that grubby dealings went on, the perpetrators, if exposed, would be expected to resign from any committees and posts and spend a few years in penitential anonymity.
“Soso” Brown’s key workers are, of course, unbound from any such bourgeois sentiments. Their unspeakable talents allow them to ignore the norms of society and write their own moral code, which can be summarised as “Do as Thou wilt be the Whole of the Law”. This “me first and foremost” attitude is , of course, all the fault of the Bad Baroness, and nothing to do with the Stalinist inclinations of the Socialist ruling classes.
“Do as thou wilt…..” dont you mean Satanists ?
Oh, you noticed. Unlike all the other dull buggers.
There were four labour peers to start with as I remember and I thought after the briefest of investigations they were all cleared by the Lords standards committee previously?
The entire Parliamentary edifice is riddled with sleaze & corruption from top to bottom ..
I doubt there’s a single MP (of whatever stripe) who can, hand on heart declare themselves to be “clean” ..
The whole issue needs to be closed down, swept out and begun again .. though I do appreciate this is most unlikely to happen ..
That said, if the Police (servants of the public) can be investigated by and are accountable to the IPCC .. then a similar & similarly independent body should be appointed with immediate effect to oversee & investigate breaches of conduct by MP’s & Lords (also servants of the public) …
Again .. I won’t be holding my breath …
Spoken like a man who’s never used the office photocopier to print of fthe Scout Groups parent’s letter.
My Scout leader used to use it to photocopy the Scouts.
Of course, that is not allowed now.
You are most likely correct but one of the sunday papers is now describing No10 Downing St as being in ‘total panic’ as certain must be Labour expenses revelations due to the FOI requests that will be exposed in July.
Some are described as career enders for up to 20 odd people some of whom are senior people and is reported as involving amongst other things ‘foreign homes’ and ‘helicopters’ which will make previous revelations quite tame.
Nah you must have it wrong mate, this is the party of people who work for “the many and not the few” and who would never “pass by on the other side”. If what you allege is correct then that would make them absolute hypocritical charlattans of the highest order !

Is that you Ed?
It was probably just a mistake, Ms Jowell is not too bright. She previously managed to overlook her mortgage having been paid off to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds – using allegedly illegal money. Her first action when appointed to her current position was to bill the taxpayer £6,000 for two new desks. I guess she needed somewhere comfortable to compose those dodgy emails. At least, she’s maintaining the current Labour government’s reputation on honesty and integrity.
pissed of voter, their is no allegedly about it, her thieving husband WAS CONVICTED !
Are you sure about that? I understood that, as taxpayers, we were paying for a whole department to recover the proceeds of crime but, as far as I am aware, they have not been speaking to Jowell.

Reply to 72.
Best bit was the advert at the top of the page to join the Civil Service! Innovation in Action – the ultimate in irony.
Type – should be “Innovation Inaction”
Regarding the Scottish ‘raj’ – I prefer ‘bro…….’ – of Moonie, Brown and Darling – just follow the money to the sell off in 2001/2 of the MoD Research Arm to Qinetiq – and who, shortly afterwards, ‘bought’ that company and which circles Moonie was turning in around that time…
All overseen by a current ‘security adviser’ and former bliar adviser on ID cards who’s only loyalty, it would appear – at least externally, is to money.
(I suspect SHE is SPOOKily employed for another ‘agenda’…)
“READ ALL ABOUT IT”, or at least some of it, here:
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200203/cmhansrd/vo030203/text/30203w17.htm
All of the above is in the public domain and just needs the dots to be joined – except the ‘spook’ bit which I made up from my own conspiratorial mind!
i prefer the scotish raffia , (its all undoing)
I think Guido is way behind the times, it’s no longer Sunday Sleaze but Daily Sleaze. I’m convinced Gordon Brown is deliberately trying to lose the next Election, give Cameron a clear run, to crash and burn over the next five years then ride back in as a white knight to save the world. Anyone in his right mind would not wish to participate in a very slow and continuing train wreck known as UK (in liquidation) PLC.
I’m also not to unhappy about the rich people leaving the UK either (most pay very little tax in the Uk die to complex tax avoidance schemes), the more people understand that the UK is no longer a soft touch then we lose the hot money, immigration drops like a stone, money is no longer remititted to larger families resident overseas, retail prices come down to highly competitive levels.
Car prices have always in the UK been 30 percent higher than the Europe mainland. Giovernment will also drop stupid computer schemes including the NHS one (that being the very first to go. Computer professionals know that it is a gravy train and that the system will never in a 1000 years be up and running.
I have knowledge of the Environment Agency, having worked a contract there, in a senior position. The financial waste is astronomical. I did blow the whistle on it, something at the time was done. If the allocated budget is not spent within the year, it is lost for the following year…then a wholesale office refurbishment is undertaken, nearly new desks sold off for £10, computer systems,screens and CPU’s replaced.
In reality the EA does very little in practical terms of flood defence but spends excessively on publicity, publications, leaflets, exhibitions, conferences, team building (oh yes!) leaving the bulk of the practical work to local authorities. Within six months, claw back 40 % from the overall Environment Agency financial allocation, without anyone aware that it had been done.
There would however be fewer receptions, Hire of office plants, dinners, obscure research and documents which never see the light of day and a long overdue cull of the Millbank offices… at the same Time I would double the resources allocated to the ‘man on the sluicegate’ . Always underfunded…
The banal overhyped floodline service would also go. For the money currently allocated EA could full fund three INTERACTIVE digital TV/radio channels, 24 hours a day seven days a week.
Your premise does not hold water because Brown has already made a pigs ear of the economy and does not need to exacerbate an already horrendous national debt. My opinion, for what its worth, is that he knew shortly after he took over that the government was never going to win another term and is only hanging on for his pension and troughing rights whilst making a bad economy worse to spite the rest of us.
Coming back as a white knight in the future is about as plausible for Gordon Brown as I’madinnerjacket in Iran converting to Catholicism.
If you think that England will ever be ruled by a scottish marxist political mafia ever again after this lot you are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Unfortunately, Rob, you could have made the same prediction in 1979- and yet here we are 30 years later in more or less the same situation. No one then ( I know, I was there!) imagined anyone would vote for another Labour government. They did though, and here we are again… totally fu**ed.
“I have knowledge of the Environment Agency, having worked a contract there, in a senior position. The financial waste is astronomical. I did blow the whistle on it, something at the time was done. If the allocated budget is not spent within the year, it is lost for the following year…then a wholesale office refurbishment is undertaken, nearly new desks sold off for £10, computer systems,screens and CPU’s replaced.”
Every Local Authority, Department and Ministry is run along these lines. It discourages value for money through the sort of spending-to-maintain-budgets you describe.
As they only have to justify any increase, when it comes to budgets the only way is up.
An additional problem – certainly in the early days of this administration- was that the Treasury would not loosen its iron grip on funds early enough in the financial year for other departments to plan expenditure. Hey presto, in early March there was frantic activity trying to get money spent and/or invoices in so loads of ill-thought-through spending went through on the nod.
Is That you Gordon (Heald?)
sorry I appear to have a stutter…………….
Apparently there is now a petition calling on Gordon Brown to resign on the Downing Street web site.
If you want to sign up, here is a link,
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/please-go/#detail
You don’t miss much do you?
Chris why dont you fuck off back to your nu lab masters who rercruited you to make this blog lose some credibility.
We bloody know you hoon…
*facepalm*
I see what this is about.
Mugabe Brown is required to sign the web site again, and you think he’s here trolling.
I do have a stutter.
We stutterers are in the top 2% of the IQ spectrum
We’ve therefore already signed the damn petition
and we don’t want to be associated with idiots like you
Please, not “Labour’s Scottish” and “Raj” in the same context. They are nothing like the hard-working, well-meaning and essentially honest civil servants (of all races) who brought order and security to India. McMafia conveys a much better sense of their conniving, grasping, sinister and gangster-like dispositions.
PS: Disclaimer: My opinion of the British Empire does not align itself to the current hysterical Leftist and Politically-Correct dogma but I reserve the right to continue to hold it and express it. The world is not a better place without Pax Britannica, so cruelly undermined by the envy and mean spirit of the United States. Perhaps that is demonstrated by the facts that so many former worldwide subjects of Perfidious Albion find it so desirable to come and live here and the world is once again blighted by piracy and slavery.
Can I take a bet that the BBC won’t be bigging this story up? Not more bad news for McSnot and not a Tory.
Vaz was suspended from the Commons for corruption, after which he was given the Chairmanship of the Home Affairs Select Committee i.e. the law and order brief. It’s beyond satire.
Nothing is beneath them. Corruption is in their DNA.
what persuades you to believe that they have DNA
He’s also the “Right Honourable Keith Vaz” i.e a Privy councellor, supposedly one of the Monarchs most trusted advisors. You really couldn’t make it up.
I don’t mind you stealing my line as I agree Dave!
Vaz is a despicable human being, and typical of NuLabour
It’s on a par witht he UN making Zimbabwe/Mugabe the nation/honcho with special responsibility for Refugees a few years ago. Unferkingbelievable.
The trouble is we are all so punch drunk with New Labour hypocrisy and sleave, which goes back at least to the Ecclestone affair, that we have all felt helpless in the face fo the torrent
Will Britain ever recover from this mendacious thugocracy?
Errm..no! This is it, the next stop is the IMF, then we default, then the UK becomes the DK (disunited) then it’s every man for himself. Of course swine flu might get 50% of us first.
I do think we should be very worried because we, in the United Kingdom, do have plenty of swine, still troughing of course, it’s the season for it, and there’s nothing worse than swine flu, and who will take their place, I just don’t know. I’m very worried now….
Would solve the so called overcrowding.
Yup, there’s not enough houses! Which is why I used to drive past an entire housing estate full of boarded up houses on the way to work.
Admittedly that housing estate might be boarded up for a reason, it’s on UKAEA land
Can any member of the Labour Party be trusted with public money these days?
Thats the question on my lips this morning?
Seems to me as though the Labour Party can’t even select a Parliamentary Candidate these days without dirty tricks and bribery being involved.
Not our money by any chance again is it?
Apologies to the countries that actually grow bananas but is it me or am I not the only one thinking that the longer this lot are in power, the more this country gets like a banana republic!
I can remember the days not so long ago, when such abuses of power were met with public outrage, so powerful that it disolved the last Tory Government.
These days under Labour though in seems like par for the course!
What I want to know is how long before a spokesman for Tessa Jowell and the Labour Party “dismiss the allegations of wrongdoing?”
Maybe she’s been taking lessons from her Italian friends?
The sad fact of the matter is that until we slaughter them in forthcoming elections Jowell, Smith, Brown and the rest of the New Labour apparatchiks will continue to think that they are better than we outsiders, and that they are above and beyond any ethical code we might foolishly still have to cling to?
To be fair, given the choice of walking the streets of Thamesmead, which epitomises Labour failure in so many ways, or filling in a few ballot papers fraudulently, I know what I would do.
Reminds me of Welwyn Garden City…..
bananas cant grow in UK, nice try……
try marrow, tates even apple republic. Stop trying to smear banana republics
Ever been to Cornwall? Plenty of bananas growing there…
There is a quote from R W Johnson’s new book about the ANC (South Africa’s Brave New World: The Beloved Country Since Apartheid) in Justin Cartwright’s review in the Speccie. Although it is about the ANC government it immediately made me think of New Labour:-
“..its cynical disregard for parliamentary democracy, its appetite for self-enrichment, and its wilful failure to understand the difference between party and state.”
One of the most distinguishing features of New Labour’s rape of England has been the way that public money and public servants have been used to pursue party political goals. Both parties (ANC and New Labour) downplayed the communist thuggery in their roots in order to appeal to the centre ground. Both waved the flag of reason and pragmatism (gone from New Labour with Blair’s departure – they are unconcealed and unrepetent radicals now, in part to pursue the “scorched earth” legacy for the Tories). In both parties the thuggery lay barely concealed beneath the surface.
The 21st Century seems to have marked the rise of evil regimes run by very self-serving and cynical people who still manage to hang onto power by a combination of propaganda and intimidation. The “useful idiots” posting here for New Labour are testimony to that.
Anyone with half a brain should look at Jacqui Smith’s proposals to turn us all into licenced criminals under permanent state surveillance and realise the true impact of such extreme radicalism on our parliamentary and democratic legacy.
Nulabour was never a government in the old sense of the word. It was an attempt to permanently alter Britain, and particularly England, to fit an idealised Marxist world view.
Everything it has done has been to this end. Use the wealth created by the capitalist system to destroy it whilst grabbing as much wealth itself.
They will never give up power now. We will need UN observers at the next election.
Glenrothes was just a trial run.
I do believe you are correct.
Although I do like the above quote, worth repeating:
“..its cynical disregard for parliamentary democracy, its appetite for self-enrichment, and its wilful failure to understand the difference between party and state.”
I’m sick of this bullshit process we think is democracy. Anyone who manages to manipulate public opinion to an extent where they get themselves elected to any office, should under no circumstances be trusted with any form of power as they are likely to be a manipulative egomaniac or a sociopath. We have members of the forces dying in Afghanistan and all our MPs give a shit about is being elected again and filling their own bank accounts with cash from us.
Scottish Raj?
Are you Richard Littlejohn in disguise, Guido?
So much for the Celtic brethren eh?
IT’s a factor any future election – it resonates with “middle england” who feel their views are counted worthless and have seen their standard of living fall;their children unable to get jobs or get on to the hosuing market after spending thousands going to university;they have seen their hopes of carefree retirement vanish and their property values /savings diminish whilst the feckless are rewarded by the governmentAND last of all they feel that they’re the ones paying for Brown’s client state with precious little to show for it!!!
Along with Labour core vote deserting to the BNP – tatch the elections in June if you think I’m wrong -Labour are finished as a political force in most of England apart from the odd pockets in the north for the foreseeable future
Which is why we should insist on Scottish Independence. Give England back to the English. Labour would disappear overnight.
Middle England? You mean “Daily Mail Readers” ?
English Liberation Front: too many of us jocks died for your empire, lucky come next year that’s all going to stop – no more will us jocks be fighting for your mob, because we will be independent and you’ll be bankrupt.
Nice knowing you, you leeching English Huhnes! We’ll see how you manage without our oil, whisky, finance and tourism revenues (did I forget to mention Edinburgh was the 2nd largest financial centre in the UK?) – karma’s a bitch isn’t it?
Oh, OK. We’ll take back our bail-out of the Bank of Scotland and the Royal Bank of Scotland, then.
well all you will do is cause suffering to the investors most of whom are English
The ENGLISH taxpayers baled out your shite banks – RBS, HBOS, and Dunfermline B.S. for starters. You are already bankrupt.
It isn’t your oil and in any case it is running out. Dream on if you think that independence means oil wealth.
The Barnett formula ensures that the ENGLISH taxpayer subsidises Scottish people to the tune of about £2K a year above the English. Gordon Brown has ensured that Scotland has been subsidised heavily at the expense of England, particularly the south of England. Motorola had the right idea though when they pulled out of Scotland.
Throughout history, the Jocks have had their arses kicked by the English. Remember what happened to William Wallace – your “Braveheart”. Edward the 1st soon sorted his sorry arse?
Edinburgh will ALWAYS be second to London as a financial centre. Get over it.
It was a BRITISH empire you ignorant prick and I always thought Scotland was part of Britain?
Oh, and Scotland have a shite football team and your rugby union team isn’t much better.
Now go away and play your bagpipes. David Starkey was dead right about the Jocks.
I get sick and tired of hearing you pillocks whining on how good you think you are.
Twat!
Twat?
I’d stomp your effeminate English face if you had the guts to say that in person, but just like every other Englishman you talk a good game and would shit yourself …. like your Navy when the Iranians took them for ping-pong lessons….
Scotland never was conquered, you’re not very bright are you son? It was all the fighting that ensured our independence. Go read your history books, and stop reading about Jade Goody – your national icon
The Union came about because Scotland had bankrupted itself in trying to create an empire on its own and failed of course.
If you become independent you’ll have nobody left to blame for your misfortunes except yourselves.
Most English just wish you’d shut up and get on with it. We’ve had it with the constant bitching.
Here, here. They still whittle on about being thrown out of their crofts by the English back before time began. So, they actually still want to live in mud huts?
The Irish are the same, they still blame the English because they can’t grow spuds.
Then there’s the Welsh init. Just going out to check on the sheep, where’s me wellies?
The oil will be piped down to Sunderland, you can have the rest.!!
Stevo, you wouldn’t get the steam off our shite, mate, and you know it.
You can have our oil for over-inflated prices though, in the same way Ukraine gets its Oil from Russia. Beg us for it.
1. You are one sad git.
2.Scotland chose to unify with England and Wales in the past in order to enable Scots to capitalise on England’s colonies so why is it “your Empire”
3. Most competent Scots tended to get out of Scotland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries which is why the former colonies and England and Wales are full of people of part Scottish descent (including me)
4. The truly incompetent Scots stayed behind until the late 20th century when they got elected to parliament or got involved in dubious banking practice
Scotland took over England, when James 2 of England was already James 5 of Scotland. QE1 was the last English Queen/Monarch. The next series of monarchs were Scottish, and as such were Heads of State … blah blah blah.
England was conquered by Proxy!
I get annoyed at all this Scottish/English sniping. The people of both England and Scotland are generally decent, fair-minded and law-abiding. The source of the country’s ills is Westminster generally and the current government in particular. The cabinet comprises multiple nationalities who can be generically defined as thieving bastards. target them, not each other.
It’s called ‘divide and rule’ – something New Stassi are good at ;0)
Yes the incompetent Scots stayed behind, and thats why we cloned the first sheep, invented Radar etc etc…. YAWN
Tuckered – does your mum know you’re using her internet connection, you silly little English twat?
Oh yes, come to think of it you’re right………..Royal bank of Scotland……….bank of Scotland………Dunfirmline Building Society………SNP advocating following in the footsteps of Iceland. Yes Scotland’s Financial Centre Rules the World! …and that arsehole of a Scottish Prime Mentalist/Chancellor the Exchequer Saved the World.
In your dreams laddie. The Scots haggis has burst.
Nicky Campbell. Alistair Campbell. Blair. Neil. Wee Geordie. Just turn on radio and TV and see where the over-represented voices come from. The Welsh receive bugger all (Humphreys apart).
Is that a fact? You’re forgetting Northern Rock and the other ENGLISH institutions that went bankrupt aren’t you?
And I don’t recall the government bailing out the Dunfermline building society you tit… Nationwide took them over. You really should check your facts.
But then, that’s not an English trait is it – that’s why you’re all thick as shit and you Jade Goody’s your national icon.
Anyone who slags off another country within Britain is a complete idiot.
Do I hate Scots? No, I’m part Scottish (my Great Grandmother was from Motherwell).
Do I hate the Welsh? No, I’m part Welsh (my other Great Grandmother was from Wales)
Do I hate the English? No, I was born in England so am technically English, as with most of my family.
Do I hate the Irish? No, I can trace family back to County Cork.
And then I look outside Britain:
Do I hate the US? Nope, had a distant “uncle” who fought in the US Civil War.
Do I hate Jews? Nope, traced the american side of th efamily down to a Jewish family over there so I have Jewish cousins.
Do I hate Muslims? Nope, a branch of the family living in London ends with a marriage to a muslim from Morocco.
Well I can hate gays surely? Nope, again there’s gay family over in London too.
If you hate anyone in this country or in countries where British people have moved to then you will eventually be hating your own family. So get over it!
Between their appeal and a vote going to the House they wont even suspend these corrupt bastards. They should be doing porridge but will walk away from this with fuck all happening to them. BASTARDS!
Didn’t Tories go to prison for ‘Cash for Questions’ in the 90s? e.g. Hamilton and Aitken? I can’t remember all the details, but I know Archer was for perjury.
Has the law changed? Surely Cash for Legislation is worse than Cash for Questions?
Could not agree more – these thieving fxckers have been caught with their hands in our till repeatedly and appear to be above (sorry misnomer) below the law’s radar.
It’s different solely becuase the BBC won’t run it as news.
The BBC is a cancer on the U.K.
Of course it’s worse. The Tories’ pecadillos were trivial by comparison with this lot.
Hamilton was imo wrongly accused and has always protested his innocence in the ‘cash for questions’ affair. He sued for libel and lost, but the ‘evidence’ depended only on the words of Fayed and his paid hangers-on.
Archer and Aitken were guilty and paid the price in prison. Tim Pitt was also guilty and resigned.
There is a long history of politicians perjuring themselves in court, Labour included – a pair of top Labour men sued the Spectator for writing their were drunk back in the 50s or 60s and won – and later admitted they’d lied in court.
Systematic ripping off of the tax-payer by Ministers and lying both in parliament and to the people via the press is a different matter entirely, as is systematic vote-rigging
We are broke because Gordon gave all our money to the banks. NO CONDITIONS.
Why? To ensure HIS financial future.
Does he give a stuff about us? NO.
Who owns the banks? BILLIONAIRE FINANCIERS.
Please don’t say us the tax payer as we are owned by the state..
So who owns the UK and us now? BILLIONAIRE FINANCIERS.
Will an election make any difference? NO.
What can we do??????????
He saved the banks because his next job is Directorship in a bank.
Self-serving just like the rest of ‘em.
On the other hand, I think we can rule out the lucrative “speaking tour”, the tradition reward of the US to loyal UK premiers.
True, in Browne’s case I think we can rule out ‘speaking tours’ as a way of funneling money to him for services rendered. However there are still the plumb EU posts, ‘roving ambassador’ type billets etc. Many ways to launder the pay-offs.
Dunfesterin @ 12.11 pm. They didn’t just die for it many of them were instrumental in establishing it in the first place.
Calm down, dear. I know many Scots whom it has been a privilege and a pleasure to serve alongside and who I count as friends.
As for Edinburgh, the economic crisis may have begun in America but it was home-grown in Scotland, in more ways than one.
Yes, these Jocks are very sensitive creatures. Bless.
Just you stick to the Morris dancing Nigel , you English Twat !
If I had to go around wearing a frock, I guess I’d be a bit touchy too.
With any luck they’ll be polling less than 20% by the time the election comes up.
I’ve added another couple of bits of HIGNFY to Youtube, Damien McBride, Tom Watson and Hislop on the G20 for those who can’t use iplayer: Mc Bride, Watson and McMental
ZaNulab = corrupt, dishonest, aggressive, liars, just arrogant swine with snouts in the trough of excess……
Looking forward to most of them losing their jobs!
Roll on 2010…..unless they can change the rules and avoid an election!
That’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. This is obviously a time of National Emergency, which would be grounds for suspending the election.
The way Marcos did it in the Philippines was to stage terrorist explosions in Manila himself thereby creating the excuse to create a state of emergency and remain in power.
Of course, that would never happen in London.
Bombs were widely used as a tactic by the mullahs in Tehran back in the 1980s.
At the risk of a dish of polonium sushi, this was done in Russia to secure Putin’s election. Bombs planted, blamed on the Chechens, Putin positioned as ideal crisis leader, etc. It works.
If Brown did suspend the next election, then we would definitely have to take to the streets and not just whinge online. I also hope the Queen would step in.
However, Putin is pretty intelligent and competent… Brown would be incapable of doing something like this without screwing up.
It doesn’t need to happen in London according to the Civil Contingencies Act. It can be anywhere. And “it” can be anything.
Can we call a national emergency now, please.
I mean NOW, what the fu.c..k!!!!
This pies done me ‘ead in an’ I’m feeling all queesy like.
Need to go to the bog again…..
New Labour is whiter than white.
I am not a war criminal.
Tony Blair is definitely a war criminal and he should be tried at The Hague for his war crimes.
And if he is found guilty he should be hanged.
In my view he did the right thing and paid for it with his job. Unfortunately, our security as a nation is tied to that of the US; without them we’d have to rely on the French. So his decision to go to war in Iraq was a pragmatic one. Having said that, yes, it was something of a disaster, but I’d rather blame Cheney and Rumsfeld than Blair – they put him in an impossible situation.
Had he actually thought about saying – No ? The USA needed Blair/the UK for “international cover” and so that they could trumpet “the coalition of the willing”. Blair whilst not perhaps stopping the Bush Administration could have given it thought for pause and the “useless Tories” were no better being trooped through the government lobbies by the equally uselesss Duncan-Smith – they too could have stopped the UK’s involvement and brought down Blair in 2003 by simply saying that they would not support UK involvement in the Iraq War on what we now know was a trumped up reason.
Have you not seen the interview with the Ambassador to the US where he explains how Bush got Tony by the balls?
Blair was pressing for a UN resolution. Bush reluctantly agreed, then said to Blair, “But if I don’t get it, you’ll still be with me, won’t you Tony?”
At which point Blair was fucked. If he’d said no, he’d have been shown the door, and all pretext of influence would have been lost. He said yes.
We said no to Vietnam and managed to maintain the special relationship with the US.
When we said whiter than white, we didn’t actually mean….you know….white.
BTW, I’ve signed the petition if anybody asks.
I am a hoon dog.
Precisely, the Tories had their fair share of Hoons BUT many of them got punished and the Party itself was cast into the Political wilderness, and many would say deservedly so. Not so this shower of corrupt fuckers. Up to their necks in sleaze and misconduct and in some cases downright criminality and FUCK ALL happens to them .
Excuse the language but really it is totally justified such is the stinking festering corruption of this administration.
The daily revelations of the sleazy aspects of this Government may well push them into 3rd place after the LibDems in the next GE.
I reckon it’s worth a £300 punt from my hard-earned savings, after all, I’m getting very little interest on it and inflation (the real one – not the made-up Government version) will wipe out any true value quite soon.
I wonder what odds I could get?
dunno
And what about Tessa Jowell?
I’m glad that folk are getting on Jowell’s case at last. I have been saying for ages that giving her the job of handing out the Olympics contracts is akin to putting Gary Glitter in charge of a creche.
No we can’t have this. Really unfair on Gary Glitter, he knew all along what he was ( and probably still is) doing…Tessa, bless her has no idea all, thinks the olympics are about honest competition, nation speaking peace unto nation and so on..silly moo
Leave dat Wumin alone you boundah. She are my European Agent checkin out Electoral difficulties.
BTW, I’d give her one…….mugambo!
They’ll change the rules. And the options are adding up day by day.
‘Terrorism’
The ‘economy’ (well, what’s left of an economy’)
‘Pig flu’
Just thought. This swine fever. Do you think that pigs might catch it? You know, those with snouts in the trough all the time? Maybe the stench of their stys will attract the bug.
Maybe the scientists at Porton Down could develop a disease that kills political pigs?
‘Even if Brown fixes the economy, …………
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Guido,
Just read the Big Issue article and am curious.
Who did you once sue and what over?
The Tories maybe individually sleazey, but Labour has institutionalised it on a scale beyond avarice.
Nationalised.
Today’s wishy-washy pinko Independent is shrieking excitedly about David Cameron going to South Africa – 20 years ago. Jesus. I wet the bed when I was 4, but it didn’t prevent me being awarded my degree 20 years later, and I don’t expect it to be brought up in job interviews.
As I just wrote, it looks like your recent exercise did even better than we thought – you seem to have knocked all the teeth out of the Labour attack dogs, if this is the best smear they can line up for the Tory conference.
I wet the bed last night, will you hold that against me ?
who paid for the pillows?
who paid for the duvet?
who paid for the bed?
who paid for the sheets?
who paid for the furnishing in the bedroom?
who paid for the house?
who pays for the continual maintennace of the house?
who pays for the security?
who pays the bills?
Shall I go on…??
F.u.c.k O.f.f now Brown
What delicious irony it would be if the Troughminster Snouts all succumbed to the swine fever we are all supposed to fear…
Myself, I intend to worry about bird flu when my feathers start falling out.
Me too!
Hazel Blears is being her usual bitch self, causing a man to commit suicide due to her actions. Resign now or be forever held accountable, Blears! Do the decent thing before decency comes for you…
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1111860_blears_shock_at_campaigners_death?rss=yes
re blears……”I did not know anything about this at all until I was told of the event of his death earlier this week.
“I had not dealt with the court matter personally. It was Treasury solicitors acting on behalf of my department.”
+++++++++++++++++
This is the problem with the whole of our corrupt officialdom………especially the labour nazis……
all they think about is themselves……..as long as they are dictating to the public then they think they can do whatever they like…and fuck the consequences!!!!!!!!
when they issue diktats or make new laws they NEVER think about how it will affect the people………..and if something goes wrong then they hide…………….
the whole lot of them deserve to be cast adrift on an iceberg and their possessions seized and sold off to repay the nation!!!!
snotbag himself has consigned ALL of us to a huge debt of slavery yet will escape with penalty……..this has to stop NOW….
And of course -the iceberg started in America
It’s called ‘not being accountable’. I’m sure when they are swinging from your local lamp post, that term will not be far from their minds.
Remember Mussolini?
Another example of Nu Labour being on the side of the working man MY F***ING ARS* !
‘Blears caught in suicide-bomb fallout’. (that should save the Mail from thinking up a headline).
“Update 1 … This is the future of the Labour Party.”
No. This is the past, present and future of the Labour Party. The media are bothering to report the sleaze and voters now see through the spin. Look at Labour’s actions from the last decade, not their words, and you’ll see the politics of spite and hatred of the independently resourceful.
All that changed with New Labour was the packaging.
Well said any one with a monocrome os sense can see that this deceit started on day one of Labours tenure, they have always been style over substance. All that is happening is that it is now unravelling and despite the medias best efforts initially, the MSM are now telling us the truth about this scum !
Sorry, was that “modicum of” sense?
No it was intended to be a play on words intended to imply anyone with a single brain cell. Perhaps wit is not your thing. Go back to being anal thats a good boy.
“It will be, to coin a phrase, “Guido wot won it”…
You sad, sad boy.
Talking about Sun Headlines – don’t forget – “Will the last one to leave Britain -switch off the lights !” with Kinnocks head in shape of a light bulb – appears that Labour have learnt nothing in the intervening years since then
Hmmm
Whilst I am highly appreciative of this blog and vigorously applaud Guido for bringing these issues to light, I would counsel the adoption of a more humble approach.
The signals I’m picking up on my Eg-O-meter ™ suggest that Guido may need to widen the doors of his house quite soon or risk embarrassing head-wedge moments closer to the election
I wish posters on site would stop mentioning Keith Vaz dears, it leaves an impression in the back of the mind while eating Sunday lunch similar to the after effects of worming the cat.
“It will be, to coin a phrase, “Guido wot won it””
Whatever you say Mr. Bonaparte.
Notice that the Tories have been very quiet about this corruption. Why? Because they are just as, if not, more corrupt than Labour. The sleaze happening under Labour now is pretty tame compared with what happened under John Major. The big mistake Labour has made is becoming too much like the Tories.
The big mistake? Ha ha ha!
Yes, that’s it. Blame the Tories and Margaret Thatcher for New Labour’s monumental sleaze!
Does Boris still dine with Darius, what happened to Jeffery, does Mellors kids still eat beefburgers. Don’t get a lot of news up here in the Highlands
started in America… er… and Finchley
‘The sleaze happening under Labour now is pretty tame compared with what happened under John Major. ‘
Such as, fu**wit? Getting caught with pants down with a bit of totty suppiled by Labour spinmeister Max Clifford. Getting caught asking a question in the Commons with a brown paper envelope to oil the wheels (allegedly). Errrr…….and?
Ever thought why Brown’s US jaunts aren’t in the mainstream or why we don’t get picture of the whole cabinet on tour at Clapham Common at midnight? See Max Clifford, he’ll tell ya.
Rob Roy your pig ignorance is there for all to see it was John Gummer who fed his kids the Burgers. You are typicaly blinkered to the corruption of the Labour Party , give yourself a shake man !
Aye, shake yer ears and give us all a twirl with yer tartan frock.
John Major left a sound economy,
Gorn Bust Half Brain Brown has bankrupted the country.
Can you spot the difference?
Need more clues?
Another loony Labour.Commy with his thumb in his bum.
WAKEY WAKEY
100% agree with you – string the bloody lot up!
163: What sleaze under the Tories? A bit of light bedhopping? WOW!
Your Labour spin won’t work here, you hoon.
at least they didnt bankrupt the country LABOUR HAS !
What could be more corrupt than a Lord of the Realm taking money specifically to alter or influence legislation going through the House of Lords I ask you ? If that is not CRIMINAL CORRUPTION then nothing is.
Sorry,long liquid lunch, it was Gummer. Mellor was the bloke who was shagging that woman. Seem to remember a snap of him leering over a gate with family in tow, or have I made that up as well. Back to the croft; would certainly upset my pigs if they read this, now fuck off!!
No Mellor it was. Corruption it was not. Fortunately we have not reached the position where consenting extra marital leg over is a crime.
Gummer was committing 5 a day negligence and is unfit to be in charge of a burger in a public place.
People always thought Labour stood for helping other people, for social justice
Oh really, what planet do you english people live on . Hello oooooo. as has been said on this blog before, you should have looked at where these labour types were coming from, yeh jockland, but then who gives a toss about that place, nah you were so blind you never saw it coming, if you had bothered to look at what labour have done there you may have had some worries, now you have the biggest F, up in the western world and your grandchildren will be paying for labours debt
Note. Must pay more attention. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem was that the majority of”middle England” fell for the Blair “bullshit” and spin – elected him without realising that the “real power” was Brown who was unreconstructed “old” Labour and who had an agenda to re-distribute wealth and at the same time “fuck up” the UK economy
in fact London, {no offence to english people} has always fucked up the british economy. These people at one time had access to half the worlds wealth via the EMPIRE and still fucked things up, at the height of the british empire the people of these islands were living in abject poverty, they have squandered trillions of north sea oil money and still fucked the country up and now we are heading for generations of misery. But not for them or their children. !! no they will carry on as normal living off the public purse
Only banana republics follow their methods, how can anyone be so stupid with the riches that this country has had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to worry you are all headed for the same misery as jockland where your life expectancy will be less than some-one living in the gazza strip.
we dont want these bastards to tell us what they are going to do, we want to tell them what we want !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to worry you are all headed for the same misery as jockland where your life expectancy will be less than some-one living in the gazza strip.
If you live on a diet of deep fried pork pies and cheps, turbo wine and mars bars what dafook do ya expect?
I thinl the good people of Gaza live longer than the porridge gobblers.
“People always thought Labour stood for helping other people, for social justice” – bollocks, they just stand for helping themselves!
When I was a kid in the 50s we lived in a private rental two up two down terrace with no bathroom, shared a toilet in a block in a communal yard with the house next door, and I shared a bedroom with my young sister (I’m a bloke) until I was 15, when we moved to a house linked to my dad’s job. Whenever my dad went to the Labour controlled council he was told we didn’t have enough points, but I could never understand how my best friend’s family got enough points to have a brand new council semi when his dad was a deputy head teacher who could afford to buy a house.
As I got older I figured it out – although he earned peanuts as a clerk my dad worked at a desk in a suit so was regarded as one of them, the bosses. My friend’s dad who could well afford a house and was in a professional job was a Labour party member, so they got a house while we lived in a slum.
Later in life my boss wanted to offer me a promotion but it was blocked by the union representing my class of worker as it would take me into a professional class and they didn’t want to lose a post to “them”, even though I wasn’t a member.
I hate them all.
Unions only exist to promote their interests over the interests of everyone else in the country.
Special rights for union members = lower standards of living for everyone else.
never again
I wish I could believe THAT!!!
yeah, well we said that in ’79 but we’ve still allowed them to fuck up our nation once again
Socialism will always tempt the weak minded.
The chance to gain wealth without work, by stealing of others is always tempting.

Spot on “Johnny says”. Whats the lesson in all this, where the fuck have the media been. No wonder main steam media wanted nu labour. They could not have got away with any of this shit without a compliant media. Now the media have no choice but to turn on the hands that have been feeding them. What a lovely irony, the main stream who created nu labour having no choice but to undo it. Without spin there is no labour party, in the past maybe but not now. Like my continued complaint about Lord bucket of lard – Prscott. It says nothing, does nothing, stands for nothing and is nothing. But there is hope, just look at what a (very) few independant hacks have been able to do. My late dad, god bless him, always said. You can lose a lot son, even your life, but dont ever be stupid enough to lose a free press
A friend who was involved with the Admiralty building – the most hiotoric in this country where the defeat of Napoleon and the voyages which built the Empire were materminded – told me that under Prescott’s regime there, lasting damage was done to the fabric of the historic rooms eg by laying computer cables.
Margaret Beckett also – allegedly – appropriated the unique and historically important Admiralty Library as her own private sitting room, so that it could no longer be visited by either researhcers or as part of tours of the building, as had hotherto been the immortal custom and practice.
My friend was seethinhg aob ut things which happened but like all Civil Servants – even those on temporary contracts – had signed the Official Secrets acrt
Following this regime I hope the Tories will cease the habit of allowing Ministers of any party to misappropriate this essential part of our heritage for their own use. They should be housed in buildings properly set of for that.
Meanwhile the OS Act must be changed so that it is no longer used merely to hide Govt and Ministerial wrongdoing and incompetence.
What a shower of wankers, that`s all i have to say about them.
Guido – I was once told by a journalist who works at Westminster (no names!!) that if I was thinking of going into politics – if I wanted sex, drugs and rock and roll join the Tories but if I wanted to become seriously rich join the Labour Party. True words said in jest!! For all my fellow bloggers – I did not go into politics I still have a modicum os self respect left.
I remember noticing that when that miserable old git Donald Dewar died, he left an estate in exces of £ 2 million.
Yep Donald Three Millions as he is known up here. There is a statue of him in Glasgow. All very Eastern Bloc I think.
Remember the Lavender List, and Martha’s family making a packet on slag-heaps oop North? Several Labour peers and donors went to jail in the 60s – They’ve always been like that.
And Jim Callaghan’s ghastly daughter on record as sayiong she couldn’t wait to dismember the House of Lords, as under the new dispensation “they woudl all get properly paid”? Under the old – unpaid – hereditary system, the Lords might have been able to do the job at which the media has so conspicuously failed: holding the executive to account.
And at least if you give the job of running the economy to people who already have money, you stand a chance of them
1] knowing what to do and what not to do, to avoid the bankruptcy of the country
2] not putting their greedy fingers in the till
Give the jobs to the people whose bellies are already full.
Hazel Blears should burn in hell for the suicide she has caused. Of course, she will get away with it. But the stains on her diseased soul won’t be so easy to avoid.

Actually this is the sort of situation I come across every day in the North East.
New Labour uses our money to quell any dissent.
We were evicted from our building after challenging corruption in Darlington.
The Council did not need the building and indeed it still stands empty, and then tried to go after our Volunteer trustees for court costs.
we simply tried to stand up for the rights of the sick and vulnerable which is why it is appalling to see how awfully things ended up for this man.
I met the Rt. Hon Hazel Blears at a tip in Salford last year. She seemed quite miniscule and insignificant apart from her bright red hair and bright red lipstick.
Ha, ha, I thought, a Socialist Women, chucking out quite good gear from one of her many subsidised homes.
Wish I’d have had the cheek to nick the gear out of the back of her MPV and sell it for the “Let’s-get-the -hell-out-of the-EEC” Charity Fund.
Ah well, there’s always a next time.
Did you know that Hazel has a second job working for the RAC?
If they get called out to an accident or breakdown Hazel goes along and positions herself 40m behind the broken down vehicle towards the middle of the road, to warn traffic of the dangers ahead.
That fact is absolutely amazing and quite plausible.
If Sir Reginald Titbrain stands at the next election, I think we should all vote for him. he seems most intelligent and he probably doesn’t have red hair and red lipstick. But then again——.
I absolutely draw the line at chipmunks. It’s nothing to do with being gingerist, you understand, I have to prefer proper red or black. But it’s simply not worth my while. I have a craven image to look after too, you know.
She is a waste of space. This was a good and honest man who dared to voice the concerns of the many against a dictatorial government. Hang your head in shame Blears.
Is there no end to the brazen activities of this sleaze ridden Government?
I see that James ‘Pigsty’ Purnell’, the bookies favourite to take over from ‘The Queen of Sleaze’, is at it too!
That’ll be a straight replacement then.
straight?
What that boy needs…….
I hope this lot faces criminal charges for crimes against democracy
Well at least Ruth Kelly hasn’t been given a sleazy fingering!
I’d dare to say she’s got more Balls than Gordon Brown, if it wasn’t that her low timbre voice!
Did you know that she wears a barbed wire garter. Very intersting.
Smiff wears barbed wire knickers by the look on her face most of the time. Same could be said of Harpy and Tess.
By the expression the Munchkin has on her face it would appear she has a permanent barbed wire butt plug!
“By the expression the Munchkin has on her face it would appear she has a permanent barbed wire butt plug!”
Rofl!!
It would explain the almost constant ‘tight-lipped and somewhat distracted’ look she has about her..
Opeless Nobbei.
Never mind the sleaze,in Plymouth on Friday Toshiba announced that is closing it’s factory here with the loss of hundreds of jobs,just the latest blow to a city where unemployment has risen by 87% in the last 12 months and many long-standing businesses no longer exist.Local M.P. Linda Gilroy’s response was to send individual letters to her constituents congratulating herself on her efforts to get a disused building boarded up by it’s owner,an issue that admittedly once made page 5 in the local rag on a low news day.
I have e-mailed this woman politely about 3 or 4 local issues since she was elected,without reply.When I mailed her to complain about her stance on expenses and told her that I’m actively encouraging my fellow Union members to take up their right to opt out of the political levy and vote against her in the next general election she replied almost by return.
While these wankers bicker amongst themselves,make schoolboy jibes at each other and can’t see past the trough they have their snouts firmly wedged into people are suffering,decent,honest people….which is probably why they can’t relate to them.
Of course, Plymouth is a bastion of ‘Common Purpose’ under the Council CEO, Barry Keel who previously infested Darlington.
AND…..Ms Gilroy very kindly used more taxpayer’s money to send my God-Daughter a birthday card on her 18th birthday,rather confusing really as she lives in the constituency of equally bloody useless Alison “oops,someone else’s husband appears to be in my bed” Seabeck.
Sleazier than the Tories eh… God, they must be going some!
Tories do ‘sleaze’.
Labour just criminality. That’s the difference
A big difference.
Quite. Sleaze is good for a laugh, criminality costs.
Evidence please, jockoe?
It is reported in the Sunday Times that an un named Labout Minister has placed a bet with the Bookies that His party will LOOSE the next General Election.
He placed this bet in 2007 apparently .
Any ideas who this MP is ?
Its brown and he has nearly got it in the bag.
Perhaps it’s Lord Moonie he is a Director to online gambling company PartyGaming!
Bliar
When did he place it. I can’t see the odds being too good at the moment and can’t be arsed to look.
he got odds of 66/1 at the time , the odds have shortened quite a bit since then.
Loose surely you mean lose?
I heard somewhere that Gordon Brown farted
once when he was 23. Should.’t such an act
disqualify him from being the PM. I must contact
the Independant. they love a good story.
Ahahahahahaha

“When I see Brown and Darling, I’m reminded of those people who come to your door; one pretends to read your gas meter, while the other robs your house”
Then when you check they’ve pinched the gas meter as well.
More like the two bible bashers who come to your door and bore the pants off you for several hours while trying to convince you that buried somewhere on page 875 of the good book is the revelation that everything will be fine if you do what they tell you to. Then they ask you for a large donation……
I has some around recently, gave me a pamphlet about peace and love with a drawing on the front of a tiger sitting on a lawn while bambi leapt about enjoying herself with a couple of children having a picnic.
More likely to happen than anything Nulab predict.
Bible bashers lol. They stopped troubling me after I told them I did shit loads of LSD and that I knew I WAS the anti-christ. Fucking pussies.
I have a life sized cast resin skull and a black cloak around here. Pair that up with a nice set of red contacts and they’ll think they’ve knocked on Satan’s front door, lol
Was great fun at halloween when I had to do a bit of shopping in Tesco and I had the full costume on (including fully made up zombie mask, looked better than some of the ones you see in films)

And pooped on your new kitchen unit.
What was that saying about the news being about the person rather than the policies?
and how long does it have to remain a story before Brown finally understands and finds the honour to leave?
His Moral Compass is lost up his erse and (allegedly) is checked regularly by one Handlebum, blessed be his name, to make sure it stays there.
So ther you go, without Broon has concept of honour.
He is mad anyway and needs to be sectioned.
This scum of a government hates truth and has no honour.
With their snouts so far down in the trough they don’t realise the massive target their ample buttocks present to the voters, suitable booted and angry as feck.
On a more practical note, anyone every heard of/consider compiling a sleaze league? Just a simple table showing the average amount in expenses claimed per MP, average no of houses owned, average no of family members employed across all the parties etc?
It sounds like a brilliant idea and sure fire hit but it would probably be shut down old chap, Why do you think the home secetary and labour government have been rushing in more and more internet controlling laws over the past year. It’s not for our benefit.
I’d use it to decide which party to vote for.
They’d use the anti terror legislation to stop it. After all the prospect would terrify MP’s, and that can’t be allowed.
I am sure somebody somewhere on this muddle of a series of posts has said something about this, n=but I cannae be ersed to read all through;
Where have all the indefatigable journalists, incorruptible sleuths of the Fourth Estate been this last decade whilst all this shit has been going been festering?
Why do we NEED bloggers to sort this crap of a government out; to give us the fucking truth?
Because the media are complicit with the politicians.
Cameron
In Browns case he wouldnt be looking for valuables , rather he would be in the laundry room having a good root for your used Boxer shorts, after a sniff and a crafty wank he would then prudently sell them to Lord Fondlesthebums of Brazillian rentboys to help pay of the national debt.
Old Chinese proverb say “When in deep fucking hole, don’t send for a drilling rig”
Wise men say that New Labour are a bunch of ah-sos.
How fucking stupid do you have to be, to be a nulab MP and not realise you are so deeply despised?
Not stupid. Arrogant, up their own arses, deluded, blind to their own failings, detached from reality, cunning, collectively psychotic blah, blah, etc, etc. In a word – lethal.
Stupid. All the way to the bank.

This week we find out more details about the anti-male, positive discrimination Bill going through the motions by the mad, hysterical but discreet Hattie Harmon. Prepare to have your penises cut off.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8019605.stm
How many sticks of dynamite need to be ordered and prepared before Parliament gets the idea to stop punishing the economy to the point of extinction like the future white male? What will it take for the average citizen to stand up, grow some backbone, scream ‘revolution’ and storm the places of the rulers and kick them out onto the street where they belong? Or even better, jail.
Revolt, friends, while you still can.
Like Guido, I couldn’t help wondering why there were no criminal sanctions available to treat with crooked peers as they certainly deserve.
But at length, the answer came to me: if the police prosecuted every corrupt New Labour politician who had been fiddling while Britain burned, then soon we would be no visible government left! They’d all have been nicked and doing time!
Gordon – who has never at any time ever had any knowledge of any wrong-doing by his closest political associates of many years standing – would be left standing alone, a demented Poe-like gargoyle from The Fall of the House of Labour.
