What will put fear into the Labour Party is that it was defeated by a LibDem – Conservative alliance. Cameron and Clegg seemed very at ease with each other in front of the press. Dave even paid tribute to Clegg’s leadership on the issue. Liberal love bombing which has strategic political implications…

The government has lost a Commons vote on its policy of restricting the right of former Gurkhas to settle in the UK.
MPs voted by 267 to 246 in favour of a Lib Dem motion that the government should extend an equal right of residence to all Gurkhas.
Poor Gordon, not a good day/week/month/year (delete as appropriate).
When will we hear the dolcet tones of ‘a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister’.
Not a good lifetime, may I suggest? His entire existence is pitiful.
He won’t understand what “no confidence” means.
A pending problem for the Labour party will be on their defeat at the elections he will not resign.
Complete fucking nonsense, isn’t it?
dont want to delete any of it I want the twat to suffer
Gordoom won’t suffer – we will. McDebt thinks he’s right (always) and everyone else can’t match his brilliance.
Only ten years to late even the Bliar which project took this up after some had seen the injustice where were you micky?
well you can keep up the pressure here…..

Brilliant…Browns ineptitude is endless.
Just when you think he can’t f*ck up any more he does!
The man is a true w*nker
Who wants to play with my gherkin?
Why weren’t you fucking wankers calling for this after the hand back of Hong Kong
You’re just a bunch of politically opportunistic pricks who don’t give a shit about the Gurkhas
These guys deseve too live here,we got untold thousands living here who shouldnt be here and these guys who fight for us where turned down, what a farce,glad they won thou.
and we are expecting at least another 22,500 refugees who have done nothing for this country and the government have said nothing on this.
let the gurkhas in, they have shown their allegance to us, and for every one who comes here we should find an illegal and throw them out
joolz
Quite, fuck me, I actually feel proud of our MP’s for once.
“These guys deseve too live here,we got untold thousands living here who shouldnt be here and these guys who fight for us where turned down”
Maybe we can offer ex-gurkhas a deal – one of them can stay for every 100 failed asylum seekers / illegals that they catch and deport.
A soultion for all involved!
Bonkers – I like your style, lad. Consider yourself promoted to Lt-Colonel (in the Gurkha Rifles, of course!).
Carry on…
Private Clegg: They don’t like it up ‘em, Cap’n Cameron.
Captain Cameron: Burpas: Advance!
They haven’t won anything. This vote is NON binding on the Government. Brown can ignore it.
It will take us some weeks to know if he will ignore it or not.
hear hear. why can the taliban second XI get in and the ghurkas, who fought and died for this country, not. I’d rather have them here any day. and they look so fetching with their kukris….
Well it is a little difficult to sign the application papers when you’re dead.
Or did you mean we should let the ones that fought and survived in?
Ha bloody Ha. The Moron fcuked up again. Labour’s immigration/refugee free-for-all was based on the cynical view that the immigrants of the last 12 years would be eternally grateful and become part of Labour’s client state. One would guess that the fiercely patriotic Gurkhas would be more inclined to vote Conservative than average, hence Cyclops’s extreme reluctance to let them in.
Well done to Clegg and Cameron – it was obvious that something was up when PMQs was so quiet earlier. Now how do we petition the leaders of the Opposition to call a vote of no confidence in this bunch of HOOOOOOONS?
you see, they get in, they’re law abiding, they’ll pay their taxes, their kids will work hard and do well. what they’re unlikely to do is trot off to Helmland with their newly honed Preston accents and start blowing up their Dad’s old regimental mates.
why not let them in? we’ve let every other Hoon and his Taliban nephew in??
Great news but I’d like to know who the 246 cretins are who voted nay Shame on them
There must be a list of those who vote for and against.
Although with Gordon’s Labour this is probably covered by the Thirty year rule.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!
and?
these fearless men fought for the Queen’s Commonwealth and laid down their lives for that Commonwealth. there is no question of whether they should be offered the full hospitality of this country.
the thieving politicians have merely done the right thing. for a change.
new labour are just the EU’s useful idiots really. it is because of the racist immigration policy of the EU that this issue has arisen.
I say the racist EU can shove its racist constitution up it’s huge fat corrupt and filthy and sweaty arsehole.
fucking nazis.
I don’t really want to talk about the war but, er, italy were on the nazi side innit?
spain is a country riddled with nazi sympathisers and france rolled over like a cheap, spineless, slutty whore who would fuck for free. germany was, obviously, completely fucking nazi.
the greeks have been happy to allow themselves to be ruled by fascist generals and the swiss are willing to break all rules of decency because they too are a slut nation, commpletey without morals, happy whores. heading east the lust for fascism is being rekindled, fuelled by a completely misplaced sense of russian white supremacy.
and today we have, leading the charge for the next generation of fascists, america, israel, and, to my great shame as an Englisman, Britain.
’tis a shame because England discovered as long ago as the 13th century that there is no profit in the occupation of foreign lands. we have still not learned that lesson.
but it is most shameful because there was a time when only one country stood against the nazis and fascism: Great Britain. this country stood alone against the nazi war machine. British and Commonwealth soldiers saved the europeans from hitler.
we stood alone and if we had fallen then the nazis would have done a deal with the americans, and the usa and germany would have administered a global fascist state.
my point is this: we did not defeat the nazis to give it all away to the very countries we defeated in the second world war. no prime minister has it within his gift to give away the supremacy of Parliament in an agreement. and to propose such an arrangement with countries that are either fascist states or have recently been fascist states adds insult to the constitutional injury.
in short, the EU is stuffed full of fucking nazis.
oh and sarkozy’s is a big nosed communist c’unt with a very small cock. more like an acorn really.
ditto the lardy arsed spanish c’unt barroso. it’s only the high grade coke that keepd these useles c’unts functioning.
under every rock we look we find these money grubbing ex-communist smackhead thieves.
I think we should use the rocks they’re hiding under to bash these flesh eating zombies fucking brains out. I googled ‘zombie’ and I have discovered that decapitation is the only sure way to kill a zombie.
note to the EU: supremacy of Parliament is non-negotiable YOU FUCKING SPASTICS!
end of story.
if the politicians fuck with our constitution by ratifying the european constitution then that will be considered by the people to be an act of war. a war waged by the state to take away the right of citizenship to this country. we fought kings to gain that right.
note to new labour:
“UP AGAINST THE WALL MOTHERFUCKERS!”*
*copyright stanislav
well put, *ENCORE*
You feel that if Tony Blair were in office his political antennae would have steered him away from a confrontation with the Ghurka lobby.
Gordon Brown clearly does not read the war manual of Sun Tzu, you only engage in a war you cannot lose.
If I were David Cameron or Nick Clegg, I would give serious thought to signing up Joanna Lumley as a PPC, she would walk into any constituency at this moment in time.
I think this vote is really great – congrats to Clegg & Cameron. The next fight should be to get fair treatment for ALL British soldiers/sailors/airmen. Fuck you Gordon Brown, you c**t. Fuck you NuLabour trolls.
and she is hot
The New New Avengers
The lovely Lumley is still Purdy obviously,
Cameron is the New Steed, Clegg the New Gambit (bit of a ladies man)
All this explains the softly-softly PMQ’s- not getting the Labour back benchers’ back’s up. Appear reasonable, honest, polite- don’t make them angry. They then feel no sorrow for GB and no need to leap to his defence, no need to beat Cameron and Clegg.
Result? The right one.
so what. the Gurkhas got paid. they did a job. end of story. Thank you and goodbye!
HAHAHA.
anyone fancy a jacqui smith to resign petition?
How about Cabinet en bloc?
The point about Brown is that both Cameron and Clegg have had the shared experience of holding a meeting with him.
That must have concentrated both their,minds wonderfully.
So no wonder the are happy to collude in an ambush.
They have all met privately at least once before, very early on in Clegg’s leadership.
You may still be right though, supposing they this time detected some sort of deterioration.
There is one. But the point is if the Brown Hoon goes so does the Hard Faced Smith and BGR.
but you notice da great leader never takes da piss outta cleggover like he tries against raver dave
brilliant… of all Brown’s AWFUL policies , this must be the most disgraceful!
Agreed – it was absolutely shameful. Watching Gordon flail around like a drowning weasel has been a wonderful spectator sport over the last few weeks.
Agreed – one Gurkha is worth a thousand of the others we have allowed in with little control. The legacy of this pitiful so-called government is just an apalling shambles.
Excellent result.
Seconded!!

Well said, won’t second as it has been done.
Will Hansard have who went through which door?
One Gurkha is worth at least several dozen of those born here – both you and I included!
It also shows just how he’s getting it wrong politically. This is clearly an unpopular proposal but he is so out of touch he can’t see why. The fool….
This lot hate anything military. More than happy to have them die in a phony war mind you
gazillionth’d!
Graham’s numbered.
Fantastic.
Seconded.
Good. That Nulabour wanted to restrict residency to the Gurkhas in the first place was disgraceful.
Bombs away…
The bit that most reprehensible was the condition that they some in order to gain entry had to have a medal for gallantry
That alone shows how far many the present political class on the labour benches are removed from the real world The medal winner is seldom the only one to show gallantry Such medals are often won as part of a team effort
Having read some of the accounts of individual bravery by Gurkhas, I’m not sure I agree in this case.
But to turn the idea on it’s head: What the government are admitting is that after 12 years of NuLabour mismanagement and destruction, you need a recognized level of bravery to come and live here.
(That, or your head examined)
Gormless Brown does nt want the Gurkhas in unless they hand over their postal votes to him first.
or he worried about a coup
As Freddie points out, why would Brown want a brave, skilled fighting force loyal to the country imported wholesale. Especially when their weapon of choice against almost any odds is on their belt and can’t be affected by his funding cuts.
As chancellor he made sure to cripple our own troops with his penny pinching, and doesn’t even have the decency to recognise their sacrifice.
If I were Scottish I’d disown him, he dishonours their military history just by breathing.
No obvious reason for a Labour backbencher to vote with the govt now.. unless they think that the Govt will fall directly as a result. For the time being voting “against” brown is likely to be more career enhancing than any other option. This could play out more tomorrow.
Awesome result. This Government has lost the plot.
Pssst!
Who slipped you the CC for the Raas Claat registration?
Did Brown turn up for the vote?
Probably forgot it was happening…wouldn’t be the first time he forgot about something important today…
Gordo’s attending a casting session for his next YouTube appearance!
Probably trying to get a duo started with Susan Boyle.
Bin Hur?
Ho ho ho.
Does anyone really care?
As evidenced by the number and tone of the comments here and elsewhere I think the evidence that people do is pretty bleedin’ obvious…
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Just watching BBC news now – this is going to play AWFULLY for Labour. David Cameron, Joanna Lumley and Nick Clegg surrounded by a score of gurkhas celebrating their victory.
Makes the Government look utterly heartless, and will be replayed all over the news later on. Brilliant!
Good. Gordon Brown and the supine Cabinet deserve it.
How the Moron had the gall to stand at the Dispatch Box and say that the state of the public finances had to be taken into account when it is a matter of national honour is beyond me.
He’s allowed thousands of foreign criminals to stay here; illegal immigrants and bogus asylum seekers – yet soldiers to fought and would have died for the UK can’t be afforded. Disgraceful.
I hope this is truly the end of the Moron.
Well said Boudicca. It is further evidence – as if any were needed – how McBust and his load of creeps view the old-fashioned but still valid virtues of service and loyalty.
Not to mention the amount that has been creamed off in expenses and useless junkets paid for by Joe Public!!
Beautifully put, Boudicca. It is indeed a matter of National Honour.Some posters have called the Ghurkas “mercenaries”; that they are not, but are bound to this country by deep ties of loyalty and tradition. The profession of Arms has long been held to be honourable; only in our own perverse times do some idiots say otherwise
Hear hear.
in 2006/7 goverment waste was estimated at 101 billion pounds.Where would we and the Gurkhas be if this lot were even slightly efficient?
…and even better – Jacqui Smith is going to have to fight the Government’s stance on this. As if she wasn’t in deep enough shit already…
The bitch from Redditch
I never did accept the myth
of good deeds done by Jacqui Smith.
Now dodgy stats and proven lies
may lead at last to her demise.
For ID cards and database
are what she wants to put in place,
but entries in this thing she’s built
will not be based on crime or guilt.
And just for added ID risk,
she’ll hold it on a floppy disk.
and then some governmental brain (?)
will leave it on the local train.
Six weeks held with no charge read,
another gem from Jacqui’s head.
You’re guilty till you’re proven not,
that’s the law that Jacqui sought.
What’s her rule on immigration
foisted on a troubled nation? -
Welcome if you wear a Burka,
no room left for loyal Gurkha.
Illegals get an easy ride,
and do not even have to hide
for she extends a welcome hug
to every bomber, thief and thug
When egg appears on Jacqui’s face,
as very often is the case,
she uses plod to save her skin
by hauling random suspects in.
Of moves afoot to scupper Green
she said she had not heard or seen.
She must believe we’re really thick
to say she’d had no words with Quick.
Her ’second home’ has brought no shame,
she’s sticking with her feeble claim -
It’s right and well within the rules
to treat the voters all as fools.
Her husband Dick she pays to write
to local rag.a load of shite.
So does he earn his 40 grand?
she says he does – with just one hand.
‘cos I’m a girl, you pick on me’
is Jacqui’s latest whinging plea.
but noone heeds the lying whore
because we’ve heard it all before.
Now just in case it’s still not clear,
the message, Smith, is dis-a-ppear,
your welcome here has been outworn,
just stay at home and watch your porn.
POV – brilliant!
Bloody brilliant I say. Bloody brilliant.
very very good POV

We. Are. Not. Worthy.

Can I put that on a T-Shirt please?

They are the wrong sort of immigrants for the Labour party.
Honour and duty are not traits that Nulab recognise, fortunately the great British public do along with Clegg and Cameron.
Insightful poem PIV, it should be replicated on every billboard in the country.
Quite & they sure as hell ain’t gonna vote labour

BBC Website doing its best to ignore this by leading with a story that some unfortunate Mexican kid has died from Swine Flu, but it’s a story ‘cos he was in Texas, innit…
Gurkhas already relegated to the small print by Al JaBeeba.

BASTARDS

To be fair the Mexican kid in Texas is also the main story on Al Jazeera…
No mention of the vote though, but they do have a story on how angry we are at Brown’s stance on the Gurkhas
How about a vote for the Chagossians? They’ve had a particularly raw deal.
Don’t you mean the Kardassians?
:-)
Shouldn’t that be Lardassians?
Yes, they are another bunch of people right royally fucked by a Labour nonce, in this case Harold fucking Wislon.
peter don’t forget that when the courts agreed they should be repatriated labour went to the Privy Counsel & used the Royal Prerogative to change the ruling
Mary, you are correct that they have been treated appallingly. We have stolen their homeland ind kicked them off the Island they have lived on for hundreds of years. They should be allowed to return home. That is all they want.
That is different from the Gurkhas wanting to settle in the country that they fought for and risked their lives for.
However, they are both bona fide examples of how our cowardly and sleaze-redden insects we call a government have been so unbelievably low and sickening in the way that we have treated them.
FAB FAB FAB
RESIGN GORDO!!!
Why on earth would the Gurkhas want to come here anyway?
Why is irrelevant. They should be given the opportunity after the service they provided this country. We owe it to them.
Well said, oliver.
Hopefully to vote Gordo out, my खुकुरी will chop Zanu’s legs from under them!
Because they are aware that this is essentially a decent country that has been dragged down into the gutter by the Moron Brown. They are a set of people who are well aware that by putting effort and work into this country they can improve it. I would rather have one ghurka move into this country and 10,000 tossers like you leave it.
Seconded.

Bravo! I was a guest at a Ghurka curry lunch once, at the Regiment. The best foreign troop there is and the best curry I have ever had the pleasure of. Bravo!

Because they still think this is a worthwhile country to live in.
***********Unconfirmed ******
Reports that Government stating that vote is NOT binding!!!
then that will be the end of Brown. Giblets anyone?
Agreed – what is the point of Parliament otherwise – at the prseent time Browwn would be “nuts” to try and reverse this or ignore it. However as stated the report is marked “unconfirmed” and in the present febriel atmosphere unfounded rumours are probably rife – we need to await a Minister coming to the House to make a statement
Unless they’d won it….
Shafted either way- ignore it and be crucified, back down and be humiliated. Typical Brown- “I know best….”, steaming ahead….
Ha!
That would not be a really positive PR move for ZanuLiebour.
Hmm. What should we do now? Let us enhance our image by (again) looking like mealy mouthed poor losers. That’ll show Clegg & Cameron.
According to Pravda:
“The vote is not binding, but it represents an embarrassing Commons defeat for Gordon Brown at a time when he has faced criticism over a number of other issues.”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8023882.stm
Not binding because it was an Opposition motion. Still, if Brown says no to the Gurkhas, he has more room here for those nice people from Gitmo.
Parallels with 1978 as well, which was the last time a government lost an opposition motion
I feel regret
No more emails from Joanna Lumley?
Time for some Bolly, methinks!
Yeah, my GF wasn’t impressed when I got one though.
Cameron on Sky news talking about a letter from Brown to the Labour backbenchers, whatever it contained it wasn’t enough. Might have been so different if he still had his bully McBride to do his arm twisting. Well done Guido on that.
खुकुरी chop you Gordo!
Anyone for a Piro Khasi in No 10?
Extra hot Super SIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZED
And John Pieenar on Al Beeb had declared at 4.20 that the Government would win the vote!!!
PIEnaar in the Skynaar – Zanu shill!!
He thinks he’s Frank Cannon.
John Pieenar has been a tool of the labour party for many many years. He is a fully controlled puppet of these hoons and should have his shrivelled up nuts chopped in a blender for the treason if his sort to this country.
Dale scoops that Whip Ian Austin has been glaring at fellow Labour MPs in an effort to bully the aye lobby.
What a prick.
Didn’t work then did it? With a majority of 66 MPs…
Labour and Brown are finished.
Glaring? Could’ve been worse, I suppose…. Are our M.P.’s really that soft?
Fat Gordo McDoom couldn’t do it with his one eye, just like Hitler couldn’t juggle, for some reason!
Hitler could’nt juggle on account of only having one ball!
No 94 – thank you for the statement of the bleedin’ obvious!
There’ll be revenge from Broown We will probably be told about all their dissident MP’s expenses scams………. can’t wait – their spin doctors don’t understand that when in a hole they should stop digging
Austin has been NOKiad by Brown and his career is Gurkha’d.

Good – When you look at who this government has let in to this country and worse than that, even employed them as part of their accursed ‘UK Border Agency’
At least give the Gurkhas jobs behind the agency desks instead of the universal arseholes they use at the moment!
Interesting to see how pro-migrant British people are; at least when the migrants are loyal to Crown and country. Multiculturism is the problem not immigration. How about basing the brigade of Gurkhas in Luton or Bradford as a lesson to the rest?
Spot on Mr Sox!
Consign multiculturism to the dustbin of British history and only let the goodies in.
That’d be fucking neat. Luton would be best, closer to Whitehall for when they are needed there to clean up another shithole full of scum.
The Penguin
seconded, ive always said multiculturism does not work when the people have no connection apart from family here, the Gurkhas would show what it means to part of our great country.
Give them the houses earmarked for immigrants and lets see how quickly the areas turn around and become a lot less dangerous!!!
joolz
That’s right.
It’s not immigrants that are the problem, it is the type of immigrants we are getting of late that are the problems. People coming here should have some connection and affinity with this country and not come here to turn it into a version of their homeland with free housing, schooling and health care.
British people like the Gurkhas because they have the qualities we used to take pride in ourselves: Honour. Loyalty. Courage.
You know, the ones NuLabour would like to outlaw because they don’t have them themselves.

“Its not a change of attitude its a change of strategy”
British consul to Uraguyan President in 1939 when changing his mind and instead of wanting the Graff Spee to sail ASAP into the ‘waiting’ British fleet then wanted it to remain in port for as long as possible.
What about those brave mercenaries we recruited in Afghanistan to rid us of the Soviet menace? What were they called again – Tally something? Or that other mercenary who was trained to rid us of the Iranian menace – Sad something.
Looking forwards to Maoist Insurgents whose parents were gurkhas slinking over here and plotting our downfall whilst bludging off the state.
What about the millions of muslims across the world who despise us because we were led into an illegal war on the basis of a pack of lies. They are the people I am REALLY worried about.

This despicable government did a better hatchet jog on the Gurkhas than the BNP could ever have done!.How they can sleep at night is absolutely beyond me.
The top price champagne at dinner, followed by some expensive brandy afterwards(paid for by the taxpayer) helps them sleep.
Not having a conscience works wonders.
It’s a fool who makes an enemy of the Gurkhas.
So that will be Gordon then!

I thought it was in Winchester
Alresford mate
Or try the original Monty’s in South Ealing…
Thanks guys, good suggestions to celebrate. :D
My best moments by you know who
Classic!
The odd thing is Brown jerks around less in this mash-up than his recent expenses YouTube disaster
I know the sound is fudged to make him look a twat but even with the sound turned off, he manages to make a twat of himself with his gurning.
No one out side of brown’s cabinet (or bunker) thinks he doing a good job. His own web page has petitions calling him to resin. Brown do the honorable thing and call a general election!
So, not even that despicable group of Zanulabour Members of this Parliament of Whores could accept the Prime Mentalist veto on the Gurkhas’ wish to settle here. As far as the snot-eater is concerned this, surely, must be the end of his regime. A majority of over 60 has become meaningless.
Labour is dead, over and completely finished, I agree with Cameron, he should go before there are riots on the streets
Chipmunk Chops Blears positively WANTS riots on the streets so that a GE does not become inevitable in 2010.
remember the “poll tax riots”, things are moving fast
I wonder what she has in mind?
“I am optimistic that the long, loud howl of outrage at the state of our politics can find practical expression through positive reform of the political system.”

The silly cow was also saying today that “the recession can be a good thing for community cohesion” FFS!!!!
Agreed. Brown is salivating over the prospect of invoking the Civil Contingencies Act and cancelling elections.
Let’s NOT give him what he wants eh?
The only political reform I want is those fuckers dangling from lamposts along the Embankant ‘pour encourager les autres’ (or whatever the phrase is).
Just checked the petitions 11 on the ’support Brown’ one & almost 31K on the ‘resign’ one. Should give a subtle clue there to all Labour MPs.
Sorry, completely OT, but speaking of foreigners, and travel:
Could all those pain-in-the-arse X-RAY security scanners at airports be responsible for creating MUTANT VIRUS AND MICROBE strains? Is it really air-recirculation in planes that cause the colds and flus often caught after flying, or is it because freshly mutated microbes of doom lurk in the irradiated hand luggage?
If this is correct, then all those “security measures” actually cause more direct harm than the alleged terrorism they are supposed to prevent!
Must be worth investigating by you journos in between taking dictation…
Can’t be arsed mate.
Move along please sir. Security measures..? Nothing to see here… let me help you… oops a daisy, careful you don’t fall over.
you’re a nutter
If your DNA gets mutated if you stick your head in a security scanner, then so can another microbe’s.
becking fonkers
Not if the headline turned out “Airport scanner X-rays cause of new virus diseases”.
Quite possibly. I saw a couple of Gloucester Black Spots coming out of the Arrivals at Heathrow when I went went to pick up Lady Titbrain , returning from her skiing holiday in Malta; I’m sure they has the sniffles.
Tonight, my husband and I will make a chicken curry based on an old Ghurka recipe, in celebration.
In good old straight-talking Australian parlance: Brown is a fuckwit.
Resign petition hits the No. 1 spot pop-pickers – not arf!
I have just decided we will be sending the Royal Gurkha Rifles to Afghanistan. I will make the announcement on Twitter this evening.
What you going to do if they say ‘fuck you Gordon you go’ I would
The one sure thing out of all this that Broon will make someone suffer. Serving Gurkhas, retired Gurkhas, Gurkhas’ families, Saint Joanna, ZaNuLab rebels’ constituents- someone is going to be buckwheat. They have embarrassed the Leader. They must pay.
The taliban would fucking shit themselves.
Al Beeb now spouting “not binding”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8023882.stm
So he has a whip on the vote but it’s ‘not binding’. What’s the fucking point of having a vote then? Why not fire the remaining 643 MPs and let the Lord protector Brown rule over us.
The fucking idiot.
‘Not binding’? And if we ever get a general election will the vote be ‘not binding’ if he doesn’t like the result of that too. The fucking girl’s front bottom.
Thank you for your endorsement but I intended to anyway.
Gotta laugh, government ordering in millions of surgical masks but say they would not be effective for members of the public!
The usual crap from the mad cows!
Why? Do they only work on politicians?
Good timing for Labour to chose the start of a global flu pandemic to put in that order for 30million with the mask manufacturers – I guess they have plenty of spare capacity at the moment
Good to see the government are not ‘doing nothing’ to help flu mask manufacturerers in this global downturn
We have thousands of Islamisists in the UK (who have no right to be here) who hate the UK, its citizens and its forces yet the law prevents them being heaved out and taxpayers money is not spared in keeping them here. On the other hand we have several thousand Gurkhas who have every right to be here and where the law is designed to keep them out. The best thing we could do is recruit many more Gurkhas and set up barracks in Londonistan, Lutonistan, Bradfordistan…..And permit them to carry their kukris at all times when off duty.
Well said.
The Tom Tom speaks true.
Feckin Aye to that!
IIIIlllllll dddddddriiiinnnnkkk ttttoooo tttthhaaaaaat
Cheeeerrrss
“LONDON – Britain’s Labor MP Stephen Timms praised Muslims for bringing back faith into Britain.
“When parts of our society are so deeply secular, so hostile to the acknowledgment of God, I want today to express appreciation and thanks to Muslims in Britain for insisting on faith,” said the Minister for Business and Labour MP for East Ham at the Global Peace and Unity Event organized by Islam Channel last week.
“(I want to thank Muslims) for helping put faith back today at the centre of Britain’s national life and debate in a way that it wasn’t for a very long time.
“You are part of the reason for that change, and I warmly welcome it,” he added.
He urged Muslims to take up politics.
“We need more people taking up politics from the starting point of faith. Because faith is the source of decent values (like) honesty, commitment to family, generosity, support for peace,” Timms said. “(We need such) decent values which the Muslim community shows in abundance.”
“Those are the very values which we need in our politics, and which this event can help us to promote,” he added.
In an earlier BBC program, Stephen Timms visited two mosques, two churches, a Hindu temple and a Sikh Gurudwara and highlighted the positive contribution the faith groups were making towards cohesion”
banu qurayza
oh, and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttz8-ucWhYc
Timms has rather a mixed constituency, in the sense that there are few Anglo Saxon constituents.That, of course, has nothing to do with his ludicrous smarming up to Muslims.What contempt they must feel for this idiot!
There will be a very large postal vote in his constituency then?
To quote Mark Twain:
Faith is believing in something you know ain’t so.
We don’t need ‘faith’, we need truth.
“…decent values (like) honesty”
The only religion I’ve ever heard of that promotes lying as desirable – as long as it’s lying to ‘non-muslims.’ What a timm-wit he is!
This just helps prove that we don’t mind immigration, when it is the right people. We don’t seem to mind being the worlds charity but when it comes to our own (as in they become one of us once they fight for the UK) we ignore them.
Instead of letting in every charity case the world can make up, we should let it be a reward for serving the interests of the country.
Getwith
May be I misunderstood but I have always have regarded them as one of our own.
“He who stands in battle aside me and sheds blood has eternal friendship and ner’ will be forgotten’
McDickweed and his cohorts just did forget and they will pay dearly for that.
My delivery wasn’t quite clear but yes Field of battle, I do regard them as one of us.
I am very pleased with the vote result and I hope they get their wishes, finally.
Watch Gordon forget who and where he is….
http://www.catosabout.blogspot.com
Good news.
*Weeping into his Nesquick* But what’ll I do? I backed Brown as the man to save the universe.
Well – them’s the breaks. Hope you didn’t waste too much money at the bookies.
…..you might need it to prop up your newspaper.
Going to add another petition…requesting that before he resign, he asks Queenie to dissolve his sorry ass, sorry dissolve Parliament…
Are the Gurkhas stark raving bonkers?
Given the choice of living in Nepal or Brown’s Britain, they would rather live under the Mad mincer?
The world’s gone mad.
By the time they actually set foot here, he’ll be gone.
are they coming next week?
You mean given the choice of living under Chinese dictatorship, or Brown’s? At least the Chinese are competent!
You’re not thinking of Tibet there are you?
start a petition to get Joanna made a dame she rocks
Why stop at Dame why not Baroness ? But its unlikely McTwat would put her name forward
I absolutely agree – she has been fabulous. I hope the Queen has duly noted this and acts accordingly – she must still have a say in it, surely.
She kissed the Sky interviewer (John Craig) at the end of her interview, it was really sweet.
Yes, I saw him limping off, stage right.
How do like them apples Broon?
Maybe Brown should take not of the Gurkha motto
Kaphar hunnu bhanda marnu ramro
Better to die than live a coward
very apt
no just die! do you think he’ll stroke out that vein looks very big!
That is why he hates them. It is a solid reminder of the contrast between their loyalty and bravery compared to his own miserable cowardice.
strange for a man who had someone write a book on courage for him.
Look you lot, so what if I look like I’ve lost control. Yes yes Jim Callaghan had a better grip, but you haven’t seen anything yet. Cyclops MuckFukkTard is god, it started in America and I saved the world.
I thank you, oh darling…..
The resign petition has just increased it’s signature rate to (just about) the highest of the day.
Don’t think so… they seem to be trying to keep the number under 30,000 before TV news bulletins and the Dead Trees go to press. The peak half hour today was 345 signatures, just after PMQs. Since then it’s run 159, 168, 159, 154 (it was still just number 2), 307, 199, 231, 238 and 164 for the current total of 29455 at 6 p.m.
even bloody better considering this spend thrift moran was trumpeting how much it was all going to cost at PMQ’S. Only when it comes to soldiers does he worry about how much it is all going to cost. Funny I thought he was the type to appreciate a man in uniform.
He’d be better off spending some money on basic literacy catch up lessons. About as eloquent as a bag of sheep shit.
Do you remember the final speech of Ceausescu? The look on his face when he realised the crowd were whistling defiance AT HIM?
You can find it here:
Something about today just reminded me of what it looks like when disastrous leaders realise the game is up.
That’s all.
Yep I they had the great joy of shooting that bastard after
Oh dear. Can’t even keep our toughest fighters out of the country now.
Labour rebels defeated it.
Time for Gordon to dust off his student books on Mao, and Lenin, and Ho Chi Minh and Che.
Only remember you are the establishment this time Brownboy.
Get your riot police and water cannon and cossacks and clear the streets of the rebels. Purge their ranks.
Its the only language they understand.
Hah, Govt say “vote not binding”, Cameron resonds “you wanna bet”
Looks like showdown on this. Browns staking his a£s on being a heartless git.
Thats the beauty of the corner Brown has painted himself into. He can back down and look weak, or stand his ground and look like the spiteful, meanspirted bastard that he is.
He really is knackered now.
Hah, Govt say “vote not binding”, Cameron responds “you wanna bet”
Looks like showdown on this. Browns staking his a£s on being a heartless git.
Gurkhas in, as many as want British help.
Triple their pensions, take it off local government pen-pushing wankstains, incapacity scroungers, and Dame Suzy levvers.
All Scotch vermin out, bricked up behind Hadrian’s Wall, today if not sooner please, and I am unanimous in that.
Oi! I’m Scottish, and I loathe that shite Broon with a vengeance.
Im Scots too, but I ALSO loathe these vermin-but hey keep em down south alongside all the other morris dancers!!
Agreed in principle but can we make it the Tweed – Northumberland’s north of Hadrian’s Wall. But the Scots can have Berwick.
Don’t suppose Berwick will mind what with free tuition, free care & few limits as to the medicines you receive on the SNHS
If that is the case McTwat has really lost the plot. Legally the government’s probably right but how the hell can he actually ignore the vote not to mention the public mood ? He might as well resign now like 29,000 plus of people want him to do. he and his government are being shown to be the mealy mouthed spiteful and little people they always were
30,000 plus you mean?
Yabadabadoo. Just booked a table for Mrs Four-eyes and self at the local Gurkha Restaurant tonight. The food is always great and so are the guys who serve it!
“M.m.m.m.m.mr Speaker – I take full responsibility for this public humiliation of my government – and – that is why I have sacked the cleaner!”
One hopes the Ghurkas will storm the Commons and show those who voted with the government a thing or two..
Nepal is a maoist communist republic.
Following massive popular demonstrations, supported by most major political parties of Nepal, and a prolonged “People’s War” against the monarchy, the CPN(M) became the largest party in the Nepalese Constituent Assembly election, 2008. At present, this party is the major ruling party in Nepal, leading a coalition government, comprising of the next largest communist fraction, CPN UML.
Following a merger with Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre-Masal), its full current name is the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).
Nice
And your point is?
Recruiting soldiers for the British army from a Maoist Communist country would raise issues for some people. It would be fine with Maoists though, obviously.
Weasel words. Make a point.
Very different to here, then.
We’ve got unelected Marxists c*nts in ZanuLiebore UNSUPPORTED by the people.
Twinned with The Labour Party
Sounds like the way Maoist NuLabor is taking this country.
Pointless comment and my real stripes beat your pretend pips every time.
May the Gurkhas ferret you out wherever you crawl and hide.
whoops, above directed at Colonel O’Twat
Our working class soldiers are poorly equipted, poorly housed, few jobs to go to upon leaving, social housing shortages and all you liberal bleeding hearts can think of is housing a group of mercenaries who most likely would have fought for Hitler or the Argentines had they been recruting and paying more than the British!
Jesus wept, Still I doubt it will be many of your children or rich Botox Jo, Cameron or Clegg who will now have to compete for the desparately limited social housing and medical resources.
Traitors.
Indeed, charity begins at home.
Unless youre rich and don’t care about your own poor!
Clearly you have no first hand experience of these men at all.
F*ck off, Mong. Why is social housing so limited? Unending streams of murderous Afghans, Ethiopians, Somalis, etc. With what ties to Britain?
Just f*ck off and die.
So who wants their taxes to rise to pay for this?
Importing Old people who need a lot of care and resources in their last years!
So your gran wants a hip opperation huh! Oh dear it will have to wait!
Your children and and grandchildren desparately needs housing after the credit crunch took their home? sorry they will have to live with you for some time, we have new arrivals who also need housing, you can thank `Dave` and Clegg the millionairs!
A mercenary will fight for whomsoever waves the chequebook – Gurkhas have unswervingly backed the UK for over 150 years irrespective of blandishments from others. The one difference between them and mercenaries is loyalty. How many mercenaries have picked up a VC? Gurkhas have won 26.
Unfortunately loyalty is seen by the current government as a sign of weakness, and as such is to be exploited.
If the PM meets a group of Gurkha soldiers any time soon, he should take particular care not to nod his nead after passing them in case it falls off.
180 – I have first hand experience of My relatives who now need social housing and have paid into the system all their lives including fighting in the armed services, I put them before any glorified mercenaries who already have homes and a homeland!
Dear 169
I would call you a C-unt but I believe the term is now ‘Hoon’.
It’s all Johny Gurkhas’ fault is it? The poor equipment etc has nothing to do with Fat
C-unt Brown/Blair tossing it off for the past 10 years?
Oh sorry I miss-read. You were refering to those 246 Morons as traitors for voting against the Lib-Dem motion. 247 Including yourself.
Even YOUR Prime Misister said he was going to let 4,000 more Gurkhas in. But of course he was LYING as usual.
As for social housing I’d rather have a Gurkha next door than you ungrateful twisted thinking Communists.
Labour really are scooping up the scum from the bottom of the barrel if they are putting up arguments like this gold plated prat has just espoused.
Ask your local Labour activist about these appalling iniquities, he will put you ’straight’
Just what have our Labour masters been spending those hundreds of billions on??
Dear Assorted Hoons,
I’ll happily pay extra taxes for them. It’s a drop in the ocean compared to what’s been wasted under the labour government.
Where’s your sense of fucking duty you ungrateful, snivelling, cock-smoking cowards.
202 – The very wanting to leave their own country and homes shows they are pure Mercenary and have no loyalty to ANYONE but themselfs!
I once saw a program where they interviewed the ones hoping to join – it was a job, pure an simple, the ones intervewd couldn’t give a crap about the country or military tradition.
If Mcdonalds offered more for flipping burgers – off they would go!
and stop undermining our own soldiers bravery, with propaganda about mercenariries, they are told what to do, just like all soldiers.
or are you saying our soldiers are cowards?
214/212 – I loath socialist EU Labour as much as the socialist EU Tories and the socialist EU lib dems, I am ex forces who retired from the forces through serious injury, so less of the coward huh!
Now i suggest you deal with the poiints made rather smear everyone as a Labour traitor, but please don’t smear me as a Tory traitor as that would be just as bad.
181 – so adding to the problem helps solve it?
235 – your taxes will be paying for it, pat yourself on the back every time you get an increase in taxes and a shortage of social housing and health care.
You should be ashamed, mercenaries tend to avoid real danger. Gurkhas are brave and hourable,your attitude towards them is typical of modern Britain dishonourable and mercenarie.
That is a disgusting comment. Whoever you are, you know nothing about history, or the Gurkhas.
My father was a POW in Burma and the only people the Japs were afraid of were the Gurkhas. A battalion of them fought through the jungle to release them, and got there before the Japs could follow their Emperor’s order to kill all their POWs so word of their mistreatment wouldn’t get out. They have more VCs than any other regiment in our history.
It wasn’t Cameron or Clegg who started two wars (one illegal) or neglected their aftercare. Perhaps instead of refitting the MOD for £1.5 billion, they should have spent the money on kit for active duty or bringing their living quarters up to standard.
It’s true our Brit soldiers often get given the shit end of the stick, but two wrongs do not make a right. We should be supporting our own troops and that includes the Gurkhas.
237 – I suggest you try reading a little about them – “I saw a program” hardly shows in depth knowledge of your subject.
At no point did I impugn the British soldier – I did criticise the goverment – all other slurs in your post are your own invention.
C’mon is just a fucking billion. We’ve already splashed out several hundred billions on the banks who have and will continue to rob us silly whilst these guys have fought alongside us.
Stick a billion in the pot and shut the fuck up
Complete & utter bollocks Read some history before you mouth off you bloody ignoramus
Fuck You ZaNuLab
Yes, there’s a massive shortage of social housing. Why? Too many people in the country? Bollocks, I work for a housing agency and we can’t fill all the houses ffs. Add to that there are over 1 million empty houses in this country. The problem isn’t lack of housing, it’s the fucking idiots in charge of social housing.
Poorly equipped – thanks to Gordon, cutting the budget to spend on his social engineering bollocks…
Few jobs to go to… thanks to Gordons fucking up of the economy…
Social housing shortages.. cos you aint built any new houses in the last 12 years..
A group of mercenaries?
Let me say the following words slowly so you understand them.
You
Dont
Know
Shit
About
The
Gurkhas.
You dont know shit about sacrifice and honour, let alone courage and dignity.
We owe them a debt of honour. It is that simple. You c-unts will never ever understand that.
Why is why your arses will be grass at the next election.
Enjoy theiving from the public purse while you can, the gravy train will be coming to a shuddering halt soon, to throw you fuckers off!!!
Whoever you are,it is clear that you are one of the most despicable people alive.
I am not prone to taking instant dislike..but in your case,I can be forgiven……just fuck off and drown in your own diarrhoea
Is that you Dolly?
Gurkhas*
Martin Salter MP chairman of the parliamnetary Gurkha group just admitted on radio 5 that he only abstained in the vote rather than go against the govt.
What a snivelling, two-faced little turd of a hypocrite he is.
I’d like to see Brown explain to this Gurkha why he doesn’t deserve to stay in Britain…
“On 12/13 May 1945 at Taungdaw, Burma (now Myanmar), Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung was manning the most forward post of his platoon which bore the brunt of an attack by at least 200 of the enemy. Twice he hurled back grenades which had fallen on his trench, but the third exploded in his right hand, blowing off his fingers, shattering his arm and severely wounding him in the face, body and right leg. His two comrades were also badly wounded but the rifleman, now alone and disregarding his wounds, loaded and fired his rifle with his left hand for four hours, calmly waiting for each attack which he met with fire at point blank range. Afterwards, when the casualties were counted, it is reported that there were 31 dead Japanese around his position which he had killed, with only one arm”
(from Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1174653/Government-defeated-Home-Office-guidelines-allow-Gurkhas-settle-Britain.html)
He must have taken inspiration from my bestselling book, ‘Courage’
LOL
I shouldnt LMFAO, but I did. You’re a bastard Gordon. Fucking funny, but still a bastard.
Absolutely! Fabulous!
No-one deserves to live here more than these honourable men who gave all for our country. Someone tell the dishonourable bunch of fucking hoons who voted against them to resign now.
29,455 signatures and counting on the PM go petition
Yes, yes, yes, that’s all very well but Mr Brown and Ms Smith want to know if he’s really done anything to demonstrate his commitment to this country. So he had a little fight with some Japanese types and came off best – that’s not the same as whining and moaning your way through years and years of your life until your colleagues eventually make you PM because they’re afraid of what you might do/spill/throw/kick if they pick someone else. Oh yes, and messing up everything you do in the meantime and/or use a dodgy and immoral approach to squeeze your maximum expenses allowance out of the taxpayers – that’s real commitment and public service in the view of our Great Leader and his team. May be the Gurkhas should take note of the messages this sends.
Indeed, honouring yourself, your regiment, your country and the country you fight for and acting with extreme honour and bravery above and beyond the call of duty is NOTHING compared to a lifetime of spiteful and jealousy based student level politics is it?
Brown is a cowardly, conniving, cretinous, cock-sucking Hoon!
Martin Salter admits abstaining rather than voting against. What a hypocrite.
He truly is a gobshyte wankstain of the highest order.
Wasn’t he the chap hounded out of a Reading supermarket by his grateful constituents?
Perhaps his constituents in Reading West should be told this – a man with no honour. After his “impassioned plea” at PMQ’s. He deserves to lose his seat at the next GE – not fit to be an MP
The utter Hoon is standing down at the next election.
I saw him once when I was fishing. Wish I’d shoved the bugger in.
Admits or Boasts?
Gurkha fellows!
As decent, honourable, brave servants of Britain, you are despised by the Labour Party.
Your honour, heroism, and sense of duty make you idealogical enemies of our Labour overlords.
Please begin making statements about the evils of Britain’s colonial past, the war crimes it’s soldiers have committed, become involved in organised crime, and begin submitting huge, fraudulent claims to the benefits agencies, and you will be given leave to stay in a trice.
Now we are going to see Tory/Lib Dem tactical voting at the next election.
Remember:
ANYONE BUT BROWN
ANYONE BUT LABOUR
I would not trust the Liberals to stick to any agreement after Blair screwed them over in 1997. Or after the way the Liberals screwed this country over the vote for a referendum on the EU treaty.
Liberals are traitors to this country.
Yet another awful day for Useless Brown.
How much longer before Mandy and/or the backbenchers dump this stinking liability?
Never mind tomorrow’s another day – roll on Thursday he said ironically
Not long now. Brown’s handling of this really was piss-poor, even by his standards.
He looked very timid at PMQ. Perhaps the penny has dropped.
And absolutely the decent thing to do. I hope a fair few Labour backbenchers joined too. If not, they should hang their heads in shame. Oh, wait! I forgot Labour has never loved our armed forces.
Fucking hell. Cameron has him.
He can pull the same stunt as the Labour bastards. Remember? 1p for the NHS.
How about 1p for the Gurkhas.
I’d vote for that.
And, for clarity, because I’ve been to New Delhi and seen a massive arch (like the Arc de Triomphe but in red)
http://www.asiaexplorers.com/india/india_gate.htm
with the names of the Indians (and Pakistanis – cos they were all ‘Indian’ at the time) who gave their lives for this country then if there are any surviving Indians and Pakistanis who saw active service in WWII then I’d be giving them right of abode too. Twenty odd years ago the WWII Indian veterans used to run a bus from (I think) Delhi airport to the middle of town. Top fucking Sikh bloke in full dress uniform. These are the type of immigrants we want.
And same goes for any Pole, Jamaican or any other bugger who answered the call. Yep, even the fucking Australians.
Only thing is I’d be chucking out the bastards who shouldn’t be here in the first place to make space. What the fuck were those Somalians who fucked up the 21/7 bombings even doing in the UK?
I bet there’s no fucking arch in Mogadishu inscribed with the names of locals who gave their lives for Britain. And if there is you couldn’t drive a matchbox car under it.
Interesting story on Iain Dale – McBride, seen hanging round the Lobby, passing out his new mobile number to journalists
Guess he didnt leave the civil service/No10 after all… or he’s working for Brown in a ‘consultant” capacity
Jesus, Brown has really got on the wrong side of this. The comments on The Times website all say the same thing. Labour has let in over a million freeloaders from outside the EU (I’m including illegals here) and won’t let in out own troops.
Honestly, watch this story – this could go nuclear for Labour.
whoops – typing on a Dell Mini 9, can’t see the screen
that should said ‘and won’t let in our own troops’
try sitting on a cushion
He was too busy sitting over your wife’s face getting a good rimming!
LOL!
Have Dell bought the rights from BMW?
I’d have the driver pull over for a bit.
I don’t understand why Smith and Brown wanted to fight this battle. All they have achieved is to teach Labour backbench MPs that they can vote against the Government, Will they now (i) ignore the vote and do what they were going to do all along and/or (ii) smear the MPs who rebelled?
‘I don’t understand why Smith and Brown wanted to fight this battle.’
Because they’re f**king idiots?
After all, they’ve got form.
Goes against ether existing or proposed EU hamonisation of immigration policy ?
Exactly, Twizzle. No need to look for a complex explanation.
Smear.
Where have you been ? It’s because of Brown’s pyschological make up and that is what has determined his actions since 1995 when he lost out on the leadership to Blair. He has the sort of pysche which says that whatever he thinks is right – is right – and that everyone else is against him and will be shown to be wrong. He seriously believes that he is the towering intellect of his generation and that anyone that criticises him is committing treason against the country . Oh and finally he is pathologically unable to admit a mistake even when it kicks him in the balls !!!!
Gordon – what would be “the right thing to do” now.
The Library with a bottle of malt, a key and a revolver
A blunderbuss loaded with rusty ironmongery. A revolver requires a smudgeon of accuracy.
He should be wearing a semtex vest!
How can Jacqui Smith stay in office after this latest failure
I can give you 141,000 reasons. Plus expenses.
Hide of a fucking rhinoceros all of them.
Oh, easy. She has skin thicker than rhinoceros hide.
She will shamelessly shrug this off just as she has done with every other clanger/scandal/fiddle she has presided over.
Funny how with both thought of Jacqui and the word ‘rhinoceros’ sprang to mind.
Just a particularly apt turn of phrase. But imbeciles like Smith and Brown just take it as a complement. They interpret such comments as ‘Not easily swayed from their convictions’. They turn what most of us would consider an insult into a badge of honour.
I believe it’s called delusion. Or, if you pay somebody to do it for you it’s called ’spin’.
I notice swine flu has come to Redditch – could this be as a result of the local MP spending too much time in the pork barrel ?
She can stay IN the office. It’ll need a few fixtures and fittings mind. Oh, and a telly and box. Oh, and a veranda with a heater….
Thankyou for your support on doing the right thing.
Gordon Brown he’s a Hoon.
Absolutely Fabulous
You are Joanna Lumley & I claim my £5
Gurkha’s should have the right to residency…that is justice. However, like I say in my blog, Brown should not have lost this vote. But he has done such damage to himself and his party that his power base within his party and the country is disintegrating. He is finished; you know it; I know it; labour knows it; but does Brown?
Brown could fuck up a brand new HOON.
Brown nose it. I was ages deciding but there I’ve said it.
When did Cameron start to give support to the Gurkha efforts to reside in the UK?
Fuck off back to the bunker, muppet. Best brush up your CV, you’ll have to look for a real job soon.
If you can get one.
Ha ha ha, do you really think anyone would actually employ this fcuking cyclops Hoon?
Probably about the same time you stopped hanging round Hampstead Heath
Suicide Troll
Why don’t you do some research instead of trolling here you miserable twot!
I want Lumley, and all those wheelchair bound Nepalese scroungers smeared forthwith!!
I order them all smashed, destroyed, humbled and frightened, do you hear??
Get me McBride, Maguire and Whelan immediately, they have much work to do for the good of the Labour parteh.
We’re not desperate enough to need Draper yet though
Is that so much “Tongue in Cheek” it’s sticking out of your Arse ???
Quite right, I know who my friends are and we are coming for you ALLLLL
Please, can someone tell me where to find a list of which MP’s voted for/against/abstained? I’ve cancelled my Hansard subscription as there seemed to be an error in the printing. So much repetition
‘it started in America’
‘take all the action necessary’
‘best placed to weather the…’
etc
Global global global global global
Apparently -Keith Vaz actually said live on BBC that HE voted AGAINST the government. My God it’s come to something when Vaz votes against the government!!!!
As opposed to Martin Salter and 100 other “brave Labour Members of Parliament”(his words) who abstained !!!!
The Labour rebels:
Dianne Abbott
Ian Cawsey
Harry Cohen
Jeremy Corbyn
Paul Farrelly
Mark Fisher
Neil Gerrard
Kate Hoey
Kelvin Hopkins
Joan Humble
Glenda Jackson
John McDonnell
Shona McIsaac
Andrew Macinlay
Gordon Marsden
Bob Marshall Andrews
Julie Morgan
Nick Palmer
Stephen Pound
Nick Rainsford
Andy Reed
Linda Riordan
Alan Simpson
Andrew Smith
Paul Truswell
Keith Vaz
Robert Wareing
Mike Wood
good on you Mr Vaz, one of the few prepared to stand up to the bully-boy whips
Vaz is still a Hoon always will be.
Vaz is the consummate self serving hoon; good nose for which direction the shite floweth.
I’ve asked my MP – Angela Smith – how she voted. She won’t answer. She has never responded to one of my questions yet, perhaps because I live in my own house and drive a 4×4 – obviously a natural enemy of all Hoons
Bob Marshall Andrews is too good for them.
Maybe these could help.

Good idea then post the list on every blog you can find
Rearrange the following words :-
FALLING
OFF
WHEELS
Take your time Dollybots – this one is quite difficult
wheels off falling?
How many goes do I get?
We let millions of undeserving people who have never lifted a finger for us into this country. They have lifted fingers only for themselves, to draw benefits that we have pay for. Ghurkas have fought for us and many have died for us. How contemptible of this so-called government, helping our enemies, who bomb and kill us and turning away from our true friends.
Call a general election, if you have the guts to do so! I know that you will not, Gordon, because you posture and preen, but you are really a bully and a coward.
Resign or call an election.
Another Brown/Balls triumph.
My dad served with the Gurkhas throughout the Burma Campaign in the Second World War – and they were the only troops to put the fear of God into the Japs! They also used to collect ears that they’d cut off of the enemy that they’d killed – Once my Dad who was just out from “Blighty” made the mistake of asking a Gurkha in the squad he was commanding to have a look at his “Kukri”(long knife) before he knew it the guy had whipped the knife out – slashed my dad’s Thumb superficially before handing it to him. Apparently it was against the Gurkha creed to draw their knife without shedding blood hence the ritual. As my Dad said he’d sooner have the Gurkhas as friends than enemies so let’s hope the government abides by the vote
So have the Gurkhas drawn the first blood of this dying government ??
I wonder if your dad and the Gurkhas were the ones who reached my dad’s POW camp (Burma/Siam railway) in the jungle before the japs could put them all to death after they dropped the bombs.
He said the jap guards knew the Gurkhas were on their way and what would happen to them, so they disobeyed Hirohito’s orders to kill every POW (which were later found filed in the officers’ block) and either surrendered or fled. Dad’s got a kukri and told us the same story about never putting the knife away unblooded (but he’d cut himself not us kids). Dad’s 90 and he’s ecstatic today. Joanna — you really are absolutely fabulous, where’s the Bolly?
Well, Susie.
When your Dad gets his telegram from HM in ten years, give us a heads-up on here. We’ll raise a glass of the best for him as we likewise toast today’s victory for honour and decency.
When we fought the Argies & WON The Gurkhas were told the guard the many hundreds of prisoners. – At the same time a rumour was circulated amongst the Argies that the Gurkhas ate prisoners – the Gurkhas in turn where ordered to smile a lot, Christ how frightening is that – needless to say the Argies behaved
When I worked in Angola I used to go jogging on the beach with half a dozen Gurkhas from the British Embassy.
I think they felt safer jogging with me. But great lads nonetheless.
Yeah, right
Well maybe I felt safer an’ all but the fact was none of us was shot at.
“Running with Gurkhas in Angola” Christ how old are you doc & did they have flint locks
Doctor Mick, were you in Angola in the late 70’s when Jack Dromey was there collaborating with his soul-brothers in the Marxist MPLA?
I wonder what the Scottish skirt wearing one eyed snot eating phone throwing retarded grin mentally sub normal TWAT will be throwing around tonight? Phone, printer, desk?
Perhaps Guido should start a book on it.
Possibly Jacqui – could be the first “defenestration” of a serving Home Secretary through the Cabinet Window
Only if it was a particularly wide window
Meanwhile, Alistair Darling admits ‘all public spending is open to cutbacks’.
Gordon won’t be able to spend his way out of our recession any more.
That hasn’t stopped him trying to borrow our way out of debt though has it?
Bookmark today. It’s the beginning of the end game which will see Labour wiped out, particularly with the help of Lib tactical voting.
As GF says – check out Cameron and Clegg with Lumley and the soliders. That image is a turning point.
Labour has set its face against the Ghurkhas because they are championed by red-faced toffs and army-barmy people. Not Labour’s type of immigrant – too damn single minded to kowtow to the postal vote communism currently so popular in certain towns and cities.
I hope there is only an ‘understanding’ between Cameron and Clegg on this. I wouldn’t want Clegg lead on up the garden path the same way Ashdown was by Tony Blair with his outrageous lie of a referendum on PR in the 1997 manifesto.
I hope Clegg finally gets it. This is the Liberals chance to offer Labour voters, shocked at the self-serving incompetence of this government, a genuine alternative to just abstaining. This is the Liberals big chance.
Come second. Be content with second. Maybe be content with second for a couple of elections but finally their day will come. The only justice this country can hope for after this 12 year reign of idiocy is to banish Labour to the history books. Not for a parliament, not for a generation but for eternity.
Utter fucking imbeciles. Traitors, cowards, crooks and gangsters one and all.
Brown has done what the opposition couldn’t, He’s fucked Labour for at least a generation & even then what with at least a decade of recession to come it may even be longer before Labour stand any kind of a chance of becoming any kind of effective opposition again
Labour brought down by Joanna Lumley . Absolutely Fabulous : )
There is nothing like a Dame!
Just watched the Lumbley, Cameron and Clegg tape on the BBC.
If Cameron and Clegg can work together on this, they can on other things.
So, having been pessimistic about McBroon ever realising how much we all hate him, I now have a palpable sense that Brown’s time is almost up. I can now envisage a scene where he uses his failing eyesight as a figleaf for resigning.
And Labour are going to be WIPED OUT when (if?) the election comes…and I regret to say they will deserve it.
Are we witnessing one of those rare times when politics makes a seismic shift?
Hope so !!
But Gordon is the most devious Politican ( or crook) ever in British modern politics.
Don’t forget the tribal ‘postal voting’ scam so beloved of NuLiebore. This must be dealt with next.
Yup the payroll vote both in & out of Parliament must be huge & getting bigger by the minute
Next phase an amnesty for all illegal aliens just in time to register to vote at the next GE
Beware, very aware, of the Communist Postal Vote Fraud Mcsnoteater and his 5th columnists are cobbling together.
Liebor and Mugabe – winning by foul means because they can’t by fair.
Wretched people. Wretched government. Stain on the nation. Just go Mr Brown and take your incompetent sound bite acolytes into the political wilderness.
Can someone explain to me why Labour wanted to stop them living here in the first place?
It seems that these people have contributed far more to our country than most of the people already living here have, and trying to deny them the right to live here wouldn’t exactly be popular. So why did they go to all that trouble to try and do it only to lose?
See above. The Gurkhas don’t ‘do’ postal voting – and if they did, it wouldn’t be for Labour.
Because the Gurkhas are loyal,brave,self-reliant and steadfast to this country and the Crown AND Joanne Lumely who is an “ultra posh-totty”(still looking fabulous at 62) is campaigning for them – therefore in Brown’s petty”class -riven pysche” – definitely not “OUR” sort of people whereas anyone who runs the country down,sponges off us,and tries to destroy our way of life and traditions are welcomed with open arms,houses and benefits.Does that answer it for you ?
In a nutshell.
Gurkhas are not the “Common Purpose Communists” that labour loves and panders to.
They are the wrong sort of immigrant. They would not be here to destroy from within and so Labour hates them.
On a practical note, there are one million empty dwellinghouses in the UK today, mainly already owned by local authorities. Because of the “shortage” of further empty homes the government is funding or otherwise encouraging further developments of them. That’ll do nicely.
Social and pension cost? Aren’t we already paying this?
And healthcare? Ok, so the GP’s are going to have to go back to their previous working hours.
Still not sorted? Well there are apparently something like 300,000 current UK residents who would rather support an al-Qaida or Taliban-type society than the one they find themselves in. Free flights out will rebalance things.
Sorted now? Good, need to take a break; back later.
Sounds like a plan!!! :D
Get the Gurkhas to run the Immigration Service and Border Controls. You will see some difference in the space of a month.
Good call.
This is a SUPER outcome! ‘Not binding on the govt’, drones the Beeb, but 28 NuLab MPs breaking cover and voting against Brown is wonderful.
Moreover, for once it was a rebellion that did not enrich them personally!
Now that they’ve done it once, they might make a habit of it – or at least scare Brown into thinking that they might.
Charles Clarke did the rounds yesterday criticising Brown’s style. Do we hear the first, faint groans of the citadel walls moving out of true? The next week will be VERY interesting.
Guido: please cancel leave for all your staff. A hopeful nation needs you.
Gurkha vote: Labour rebels
The Liberal Democrats say 28 Labour MPs rebelled against the government over the number of Gurkhas allowed to live in the UK. This is their list:
Dianne Abbott
Ian Cawsey
Harry Cohen
Jeremy Corbyn
Paul Farrelly
Mark Fisher
Neil Gerrard
Kate Hoey
Kelvin Hopkins
Joan Humble
Glenda Jackson
John McDonnell
Shona McIsaac
Andrew MacKinlay
Gordon Marsden
Bob Marshall Andrews
Julie Morgan
Nick Palmer
Stephen Pound
Nick Raynsford
Andy Reed
Linda Riordan
Alan Simpson
Andrew Smith
Paul Truswell
Keith Vaz
Robert Wareing
Mike Wood
* find it hard to believe Vaz and Pound aren’t typos.
There are still SOME Labour MPs with a “moral compass”then ?(on this matter at any rate)
It is a no brainer for the limp dems and the tories to support this. Tories supporting the troops, and the libs supporting natural justice. As for the nu liebor party?
Those bastards can hurry up and leave. Don’t let the door smack you on the arse Gordo when you go.
Broon will relent. He doesn’t want to be disliked and he will toe the line of popular opinion.
Indeed, in a few weeks time he will have us yo believe that this was his idea all along.
You wish.
He won’t be here in a few weeks.
Broown won’t give a shite. He knows he’s fucked so he’ll take as many with him as he can. Watch out for the smears it’s gonna be great
Brown is psychologically incapable of relenting on ANYTHING – haven’t you got it yet ? 30,000 plus people who have signed the petition for him to resign – have.
Not really, he relented on that October election.
Yet again the BBC fail to promote a damning article against the government as front page news. I have really lost faith in an organisation that i used to admire. Is there nothing that this government has not infected with their insidious desire to control. Under this government a adviser was hounded until he committed suicide. A minister who was only doing his duty had his offices and home ransacked in an extremely aggressive manner. A war was instigated based on the fabrication of the truth and more worryingly torture has been deemed acceptable as long as the blood is not spilled on UK soil!!!!!!!!
It definitely smells of voluntary State Censorship.
When this government falls the BBC will have to be fumigated.
Don’t worry Blair, Brown, et al will be made to pay for the crimes they’ve committed.
Errrrr….. you wish!
Wherever did you get that idea? We’d need someone with a quiet but forceful disdain of the establishment. Where is he/she?
The spectre of the cold blooded and deliberate first degree MURDER of Dr David Kelly still casts its icy pall over the top management at the BBC news.
Either that or they are just a pathetic bunch of cowardly, supine and complicit twats.
Fuck the BBC, Fuck them to HELL!
This Government has proved the old adage:
“I would rather be Britains enemy than it’s friend.
An enemy will be bought, a friend will be sold”
Perhaps Parliament has done enough to ensure the right thing is done in this case.
To the barricades / curry house! (Nepalese of course)
Brown et al are spineless politicos who believe that shitty phrase “My enemies enemy is my friend”
The Gurkhas however seem to believe “My friends enemy is my enemy”
I know which I prefer.
Since this government so often champions the idea of naming and shaming. I suggest that a list of all the self interested Labour ministers who supported the government in this decision be posted for all to see. I would also like to hear a reply from each and every one of them trying to justify their decision!

No we want a list of the TRAITORS to the Crown who voted nay to this motion. Each and every one of them should be cast out to live as swine on the land, without the shelter of any man.
Shit I’ve just gone & posted that further down
Ditto & post their names all over the web including a page on Wikipedia bloody slime balls
A day the country should be proud of.
Mercenaries? These brave folk are hand picked and trained by the British Army, to fight and die defending Britain (current conflicts excepted).
£1.4 Billion? How can you put a price on doing the right thing? This government is responsible for pissing away a 100 times more. They could start by selling off their alcohol reserves.
I’ve never voted. I always saw the Cons as my class enemy, and the choice was always between a shit sandwich and a douche anyway.
But times change.
Neo-Labour are the enemy now. I detest them to my very core.
Verminous, cowardly, Criminal Scum. An insult to Scum I know, but there you are.
I’ll register to vote (even if it risks Jury Service) and proudly tick this FUCK UP of a Government to oblivion.
Bravo. This goes way deeper than class — these Hoons are fascists out of the 7th circle of hell.
Congratulations. Please see whichever party in your constituency is most likely to defeat labour and vote for them.
Does anyone else see the irony in this Government being seen off by the Gurkhas – loyal servants of the Crown who have dispatched many an enemy of the State.
Will this be their greatest achievement?
Peacefully toppling an unelected leader who’d gained his office only by a bullying coup against the elected representatives of the electorate and who’d bankrupted the whole country deliberately just to spite his political opponents and to force the electorate into dependency?
Yes, very ironic.
Enemy of the state doesn’t even begin to describe the danger/damage that Brown has wreaked on the country.
My husband and I were wondering.
When do you think I should ask The Uncouth One to Buck house for a cup of hemlock and to sign a little scrap of used toilet paper saying “I resign”?
Is tomorrow OK for you chaps?
Yesterday suits us better.
I was wondering when we’d hear from Buck House. Prince Charles favourite uncle should be reaching about 1400 rpm by now.
The Gurkhas are a fierce, brave, proud and loyal people. Just what we want here! Welcome!
Choice: Romanian social security seekers (or any one else from Europe) versus brave, loyal and magnificent warriors.
Truth: As a result of Maastricht and the Treaty Of Lisbon (signed without referendum by our esteemed unelected leader), with one we have no choice and the other we have choice. Seems a bit arse-about-face to me.
This is why we MUST withdraw from the EU dictatorship as soon as is humanly possible.
Norway seem to have got it right. We are well placed to be the Hong Kong of Europe without the ownership baggage. Oh! apart from the IMF and our Arabian investors.
McMental’s defeat in the Gurkha Commons vote today surely marks the tipping point for ZaNuLab and the beginning of their final slide into electoral oblivion.
It is fitting that this should happen over the matter of the Gurkha’s as the handling of this affair by ZaNuLab has been a scandal and deep national shame from the start.
Jabba hopes that when the Tories take over there will be prominent and suitable recognition for Joanna Lumley for her tireless efforts on behalf of the Gurkha’s cause in the first honours list of the new administration.
“Jabba hopes that when the Tories take over there will be prominent and suitable recognition for Joanna Lumley”
It’ll be prominent alright.
I’m sure Joanna will get something
I would give her a stiff reward ;)
Allow those who train as terrorists in foreign lands to stay here and live off the state (zanu voters) but keep out those that fight for our once proud country (not zanu voters). Makes you puke, doesn’t it…..
Quite simply do we want the ‘man with a hook’ or the ‘man with the hooked knife’
As for the Gurkhas.
We may have a problem with not only these chaps, but our own returning fighting men and women.
War is an extremely bad experience to have undergone. While the indoctrination that the armed forces undergo is damned right dangerous to civilized, peaceful people, and especially to their repressive government. Evidence during and after Viet-Nam being a good example.
The government does not really want any of these chaps taking up residence back in the UK, after murdering Muslims for several years. All returning troops, as far as warmongering governments are concerned, are a potential threat to their power, and an unwanted expense.
If they could again get away with it, they would simply enact their tried and tested method of holding the whole lot of them in camp for several mouths while they give them all a lethal contagious disease. Very much like they did back in 1918-1919.
At a time when nationalism is being systematically and deliberately destroyed, by our government and the ruling elites it works for. The last possible thing it wants walking about on the streets is brave, trained killers who have been indoctrinated with any thoughts of national pride and honor.
After all if you had risked your life for this socialist hell hole, on the basis that you were somehow protecting freedom and democracy, YOU would be mighty pissed to say the least, to confront the true reality of modern British life.
The people advising the the Gurkhas should be shot. They should advise them to go kill somebody. Or rape, rob, steal. Or sod off to pakistan on a fake ticket. You get a free pass to britain for life for that, and all your family, and all your mates, theres plenty here for everyone. Hell the fucking stuff goes on trees in britain, you can just pick it like berries. They even keep the locals away, just so you can have it all first.
Congratulations, Brits! Over here, we savor every little victory. Actually standing up for folks who deserve it may be a bit beyond us at the moment.
For those earlier who wanted to know more about who voted and how; on account of the fact that we still (just about) have a working democracy in much of this country, you will find the debate and a list of the Ayes ie those who voted for the amendment/against the government on Hansard Online.
By tomorrow you can go to the Public Whip’s Office Online and by clicking on the relevant Division then going on the All Voters tab the full list of MP’s and how they voted should display.
And with my public duty done a bottle of the Finest Red (that is available by the glass) is my next assignment. Cheers!
David Taylor, Lab – voted “both” – one aye and one nay.
I clicked on an explanation of what “both” means, and it’s either to correct a mistake (i.e. you went the wrong way and then realised what you’d done, a la Brown), or to show active abstinence.
I then looked at all the “both” votes from 2005-present.
He has voted “both” more than any other MP…followed (not closely) buy an MP who has been Con, UKIP and Ind (so presumably is somewhat confused anyway).
So, is David Taylor so indecisive that he can’t vote for anything, or does he just keep making mistakes? Weird.
Perhaps Phil Woolas, Whip Lash Jackie and Chairman Brown can be striped of their british citizenchip and sent to Nepal, then three Gurkha’s take their place in the UK?
Since when did Nepal deserve that punishment?

Question accordingly agreed to.
Resolved,
That this House regrets the Government’s recent statement outlining the eligibility criteria for Gurkhas to reside in the United Kingdom; recognises the contribution the Gurkhas have made to the safety and freedom of the United Kingdom for the past 200 years; notes that more Gurkhas have laid down their lives for the United Kingdom than are estimated to want to live here; believes that Gurkhas who retired before 1997 should be treated fairly and in the same way as those who have retired since; is concerned that the Government’s new guidelines will permit only a small minority of Gurkhas and their families to settle whilst preventing the vast majority; further believes that people who are prepared to fight and die for the United Kingdom should be entitled to live in the country; and calls upon the Government to withdraw its new guidelines immediately and bring forward revised proposals that extend an equal right of residence to all Gurkhas.
I see our local NuLabour bitch voted nay, what a hoon.
Pity she’s standing down at the next election, I shan’t have the pleasure of voting her out.
Incidentally the first thing she did when she was voted in was employ both her daughters as “researchers”, so these scumbags’ form goes right back.
The labour party is a collective idiot.
It has now turned every Gurkha into a Lib/Con voter.
The UK has always wanted the Gurkhas on their side because if they are not then the results can be fatal, especially if they go into “pest control” mode.
The Labour Party is on a self-destructiion course I’m afraid and past redemption – everything that Brown touches turns to shit !
Good
Hey keep us out of it.
Would it be possible to recruit some more of these sturdy fellows in time for the next G20 / peaceful Anarchist protest / climate loony fest?
Traitors Roll for future reference.

I liked the reporter who informed the lovely and intelligent Joanna Lumley that as Gordon Brown was claiming he did not to have the necessary 1.4bn lubbly-jubbly to implement a policy to benefit the Gurkhas, what would be her advice to him. With an absolutely straight face , she spat out ” Borrow it”. Then her eyes twinkled.
Oh dear – the lovely Joanna will definitely be off Gordon’s Christmas Card list – but I shouldn’t think she’s too bothered !
House of Lords for Joanna L?
Baroness Lumley of Bollinger would really let them know what class war is! Way to go Jo!
Strictly House of Fraser.
I have always admired (and fancied, sorry but it’s my age) her but she has found her place and voice.
Let’s hope she keeps her independance and doesn’t allow herself and her ‘boys’ to be abused for politics. She’s a bright lass so will be wise to such issues.
Maybe the Gurkhas should hijack a plane and force it to land at Stansted. They’d be guaranteed a roof over their heads and benefits for the rest of their lives
Someone should ask GB to explain where the £1.4bn figure comes from. I can only imagine that assumes that all will be dependent on the state.
I live in Dover where there are many Gurkha families, my wife works with some, including relatives of those who have died in Afghanistan and I from what I know of them I can’t imagine any wanting to be other than self-supporting, productive, law-abiding and proud members of our community.
Brown assumes that we all should be dependent on the State, that is what underpins his entire Political Philosophy. He has created a massive client state. Remember the tax credit fiasco. They take your money then require you to claim it back !!! They even have the cheek to ask you to do it saying” its your money”. Only an idiot could have dreamed this scheme up.
1.4 billion! I think he trying to claim the whole of Nepal will come here
Can you stick that on a postcard to Gordon please.
He need reminding that people like that do still exist.
And they despise him!

No surprise that my lickspittle excuse for an MP, Kevan Jones (Durham North) voted as instructed. By that I mean instructed by his political masters of course, not the people he is supposed to actually represent. Perish the thought.
What a spineless, cowardly, unprincipled waste of space.
I echo your comments over my mp Chris Moles Ipswich.
He also supported Browns ludicrous argument that the Lisbon treaty was not a constitution.
He is also spineless,cowardly, unprincipled and a piece of shxt to boot.
We dont need Cameron love bombing any particular political parties, or their leaderships.
We desperately need Cameron to be love bombing LIBERTARIANS from wherever they come from or who ever they used to vote for.
“Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you have got till it is gone.”
If Carly was not basically referring to FREEDOM, she should have been.
Because IMO without FREEDOM, absolutely NOTHING else is worth a brass nickel, that includes the fucking trees.
What the fuck are you on about?
p.s.
It was Joni not Carly
But Carly did do “You’re so vain”, so there’s a link to Gordon right there…
Why are the BBC calling it a ’shock’ defeat??. Everyman Woman & his/her dog knew Broown was stuffed, didn’t they?
Apart from of course – Brown !!!
Hey I Knew as well,
Harriet Harman writes:
I think Gordon was quite right to keep these disgusting people out.
They have fought for the British, they aren’t Muslims, they don’t sell drugs, they don’t arrive here illegally, they don’t run prostitution rings and smuggle girls out of eastern Europe, they are probably so stupid that they wouldn’t even pretend to live 500 to a house and give their postal votes to Labour, they may not have divine sanction for beating and mutilating women and may even like pigs and dogs and possibly don’t even hate Jews. They don’t seem to spend their entire lives killing innocent people and blowing up trains in Britain and Spain.
They appear to be loyal, brave, hard working, honest and have given an astonishing number of their young men in the service of the British crown.
These aren’t the sort of people we want here.
I had no idea they were like this, My God what have we done !
That perfectly sums up newlabour, great post!
Blimey!! our plucky parliamentarians have obviated the need for me to lure the unspeakable Woolas into a dark alley and initiate him in the mysteries of the cold steel.
A Lib/Con pact not to field a candidate in a constituency where the other had come second to Labour would be the end of Labour in England and Wales:they would vanish in a decade leaving the Lib Dems as the opposition.
No place to hang their hats in Scotland either…
Wonder if either Clegg or CMD has the brains or the testicles??
Eton and Westminster side by side. England’s best antidote to the diseases of Kirkcaldy.
Nothing about ‘Brown’s surprise defeat’ to quote Al-Beeba on Newsnight.
Al-Beeba NN obsessed with Obama and 100 days (thought that was Napoleon).
WTF is up with Al-Beeba, have they still got all the journos over there from Presidential Campaign!!
Esler describes BO as ‘Hurricane Obama’, WTF!!
They’d rather walk over hot coals than risk offending their Dear Leader
Nick Robinson said defeat wouldnt happen and spent the night at the footie, thats how clued up the Beeb are at the moment.
To use the “Bunker Analogy”- even up until the final moment when the “Red Army” entered Berlin and began to approach the final refuge where the last vestiges of the Nazi hierarcy were hiding -the Nazi propaganda machine was still churning out lies about how the invaders would be repulsed by fictitious army groups that had long ceased to exist except in the febrile mind of Hitler and his mouthpiece Goebbels and I’m afraid to say that the BBC’s general level of news selection,editing and analysis is on a par. The people who are the BBC editorial team and some senior political commentators are “in denial” they cannot comprehend what is happening or to use “Prezza’s” famous analogy that the “tectonic plates are shifting” . They can’t continue to bury their heads in the sands – a massive tsunami is approaching and will sweep Brown and Labour from power and into the political wilderness for a decade.
Not reporting it won’t make it go away.
My American family – Ohio Republicans to a man and woman – refer to Obama as One Big Ass Mistake America – time will tell but Americans are waking up to the social engineering ala NuLab and mounting debt he is proposing – where Britain leads America follows – who says we don’t do well in export markets.
Where were the British charities- Oxfam, Save the Children et al- in the debate about the Gurkhas? I would have thought that Oxfam would have had a lot to say about the Gurkhas, considering that these former soldiers come from one of the poorest countries in the world, and Nepal would benefit from having ex-Gurkhas living in the UK and sending remittances back home to their less well-off relatives and communities. But then these days these very charities are tight-liped about criticising the Government, which may explain why they had nothing to say about the plight of Gurkha soldiers.
I propose that all retired Gurkhas under 65 be employed by the UK Border Control.I am sure that they would stop all those illegal scumbags trying to enter this country right now who are milling around Calais .We could also use them to round up all overstayers/criminals/would-be-suicide bombers who are here now.Also use them as crowd control at the Home Office department in Croydon.They could also take on the Yardies,Albanian mafia,Riussian mafia and every other type of mafia.
I’ve been copying and pasting some of the comments into the labourlist, will be interesting to see if they are published.
It would be nice to email them to the wankers wife on what i think is June 15th.
There goes another one!
Fucking bbc1 news 6.08am “GB lost the vote yesterday to allow Gurkas to stay in the UK…” WHAT???? then straight on to toenailsesque bullshit analysis of background utterly meaningless lip service
If that was what the BBC said, then that makes me even more angry than I am with Brown for trying to kick as many of them out as he could.
It’s those kind of totally blatant lies told by the BBC to help prop-up a morally corrupt/bankrupt government that makes me want to kick the shit out of my telly (which is why I tend not to watch BBC news anymore; it’s too infuriating)
They’re shooting themselves in the foot though, because every time they come up with such completely evil lying shite they shrink the size of what the license fee will be in 2010; if I was Cameron, that reporting line would push me over the edge, and I’d make a personal promise on my own mind to put the BBC on the same financial footing as itv in 2010.
gurkhas dont vote labour,
im against
mr p . mcsubsidy mp madchester central(also on 100 quangos)
The celts on Five Live can barely bring themselves to mention the defeat of their Overlord chief mental
Smash the BBC!
First the Bliar now McTwat You stupid bastards got what you voted for
Wait a minute You fuckers didn’t even vote for McTwat – how fucking sad is that
How about my eponymous knife as the symbol for the UK Movement for Democratic Change? I’ve just ordered a Gurkha lapel badge from the Royal Engineers’ benefit website,
http://www.sappershop.com/product_info.php?products_id=595
Gurkha don’t vote Labour, they vote Maoist Communist.
Nepal is a democratic republic led by a Maoist Communist government, which party carried out a violent insurgency for many years against the preceding monarchist regime.

Joanna should have stuck that Khukri up Brown’s arse!
send a battalion of gurkhas into that fucking shithole called the commons and kill every fucking labour arsehole there
Only if you film it and put it on YouTube.
What about the Labour dimwits who abstained?
They are paid close to a quarter of a million pounds and cannot decide between voting Yes or No!
An even bigger waste of space than the Noes!
#564 By all accounts he would go all wet and gooey at the thought.
