American News
American actor Clarke Peters (Mandela, The Wire) was on Adam Boulton’s Sky show this morning. He cracked a joke that would have had Sunny Hundal putting Guido up on a thought-crime charge if it was first cracked here on the blog:
“People used to say ‘pigs would fly’ if we had a black president. Well 100 days into Obama’s presidency, swine flu.”
On a sadder note, Jack Kemp has died after battling cancer. Guido wonders how different the world might have been if the former NFL quarterback had been the vice-presidential running mate of Bush senior instead of Dan Quayle. If the libertarian-conservative Kemp had then succeeded the original President Bush, we might never have had Presidents Clinton or Dubya. Instead after nine terms as a Congressman for Western New York, from 1971 to 1989, he served as Housing Secretary in the George H. W. Bush administration.
Kemp an advocate of low tax, supply-side policies was until recently still active in the Washington think tank world. He was conservative on abortion and libertarian on immigration, with Chicago school economic ideals. His crucial contribution to the Reagan agenda was as architect of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, possibly the greatest tax reduction in American history since the Boston Tea party. The world sorely needs more Jack Kemps.
Libertarian in all the right ways and not the wrong ones as far as you’re concerned, then. God, I’m sick of these half-arses littering the internet who thinks libertarian means ‘everything the way I want it.’ Break a few stories already, you’re getting tedious.
The last thing we in the UK need are more people who are “libertarian on immigration”.
The country’s full.
hear hear
Hear hear hear
Its not immigrations fault that England is fucked.
No, we need to be more libertarian on immigration: rather than the present “nothing to offer? Come on in, here’s your first welfare handout, that’s your taxpayer-provided home”, we should switch to “Come on in – provided you obey the law and provide for yourself without burdening the taxpayer at all”.
I’ve seen intelligent, well-qualified people with job offers here refused visas on the basis that “the country’s full” – while at the same time, the same government department was welcoming illegals whose English was limited to “soft touch” with open arms and open chequebooks. Digusting, and precisely the opposite of the policy we should have!
The country certainly is not full. I work in financial consultancy, pretty much half the company is staffed by first or second generation immigrants, and the same is true for many of our competitors and associated companies. A libertarian position on immigration is key to guaranteeing the success of our industry and economy in the future.

“Financial consultancy” is a non-job for spivs and parasites. Fortunately crooks like you will be out of work before too much longer.
Guido Fawkes shed as well as Kübel Häme on would-be competitors.
Watch it. Draper will smear you as a racist.
When supporting Bush Sr, Kemp used the best description I’ve yet heard to describe socialism. He called it ‘debunked and defunct’.
He would have made a great president – better than any who came after him.
Anon 122,
So how’s Asda working out for you?
oh do fuck off you c’unt.
the great thick as thieves predicted, against all the odds, that Barack Obama would become the President of the United States.
the honkies had their chance and completely fucked it up.
honestly, these white male politicians are fa bunch of fucking useless thieves.
I am sure President Obama will do a far better job than all the corrupt white fuckers who have hoarded power and only shared it with their white male friends.
and also, you think the country is full?
you do realise that when you look at a map of Britain on google just how empty most of it is.
you fucking idiot.
it’s the infrastructure, stupid!
and maybe if all of the bnp crazies on this thread fucked of to another country we would have more room for some decent hardworking immigrants instead of being infiltrated by fifth columnist fascists like the people who have spouted their garbage here.
you spastics seem to forget we defeated the nazis to prevent fascism in this country and yet here you c’unts are pushing nazi policy.
I’d string you fucking traitors up if I had half the chance.
That reeks of the Samizdata.net view of libertarian, i.e. the USA stance of the right-wing nutjob who will put up with anything so long as they can 1) have as many guns as they like, 2) don’t have to pay any taxes 3) get to post gratuitous pictures of overweight eastern Europeans who just happen to share their views on “libertarianism”. Small wonder that a certain blogger decided to split away from that view some time ago …
If you want to solve this country’s woes on immigration start by allowing the people in who can really make a difference. By opening the ports up yes you sure as hell are going to get the dross but you will also get a lot, probably a majority, of migrants who are extemely hard-working, do not want state hand-outs and, regrettably unlike a lot of British workers, can get the job done.
In my many years I have tended to find that real libertarians are the ones who genuinely believe in freedom for all (the “don’t step on me” types), not the modern US view that only the rich peoplem, like the despicable Kim du Twat, who have lots of guns can be libertarians.
The world needs more Frank Zappas and David Sutchs. I should know; I signed them off.
The world needs more Vaclav Havels.
Thirded
What we need are more politicians who have the balls to say “NO! NO ! NO!”
Too bloody right. I don’t give a toss about immigrants as long as the costs are kept at a reasonable %. It’s bloody obvious we get health, housing, security, welfar & education tourism and yet there are no possibilities to examine rigourously their financial situation. The assumption that they’re all on their uppers seems unlikely to hold true. I think there should be A&E triage but costs applied to individuals who have been residents for less than 2 years perhaps – some kind of surcharge. I dunno – I think i’m wibbling now – sorry.
Specifically to one, scumbag Balls and his more-than-ghastly wife Balls2
Guido’s reaction to the joke shows that he is a racist fuckwit because he cannot tell the difference between racism and race (as shown in the joke).
This article actually loudly broadcasts his fuckwittery as something he’s proud of.
Ah, the ‘Race’ card. Doh!
This ‘joke’ is obviously swinist.
He’s not just a racist, he’s a goose-stepping, Hitler-worshipping, neo-nazi, fascist scumbag and so are 99% of the British and the Irish.
I think you’re being a bit short sighted 68 on drawing on the race card as Anon 82 calls it; you could equally argue Guido was railing against the ability of some to make a jibe or line that another cannot on the basis of what they look like which is inherently more racist, surely?
There is so much hypersensitivity to racism, sexism and isms in general – it just makes us neurotic as a whole, and does nothing to really improve things. It should not be an invitation for others to attack individuals who see how stupid the War on Racism is.
So give over. The only way to attain a fair minded and intelligent society is to just act like one, taking responsibility for ourselves as individuals, rather than this sterile mode of speech forced on us in the name of political correctness.
Well said Bad Magic. It is often those who accuse others of racism who are themselves blind to it. Case well made.
Wind your neck in dickhead you’re sounding like a fascist, racist fucking dickhead.
And some Scottish news.

its world press freedom day today and i see in the jockland sunday herald and sister paper the herald THEY DO NOT ALLOW COMMENTS macruins feifdom indeed
This is a bit heavy for me.
I have a couple of Star Wars video spoofs here for anyone who needs a bit of light relief whilst awaiting the Sunday papers
As a Star Trek fan, Thanks. That was very funny!
Check this out:
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/98623/MP-claimed-10-000-more-on-expenses-than-he-paid
Ah yes, that’s the MP who’s appeared in photographs at events he hasn’t actually attended isn’t it? Benefit cheats? Seems like it doesn’t only have to be the out of work. What’s the phone number for reporting MPs who cheat on their expenses? No, didn’t think there’s be one,.
Conveniently enough – he’ll never be prosecuted for it – even less forced to pay the money back!
And he is in charge of dealing with benefit cheats? That’s bizarre.
Just to clear up a small matter. Anyone who uses the phrase “the country’s full” is not racist.
They’re just an arsehole.
I find it extremely petty and trivial to hate someone because of the colour of their skin or because of the context of their religion. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to hate people on a more personal basis.
As for regular immigration, I approve, but illegal immigration should be stamped down upon with every iota of force of the law. If it’s not hard enough, change the law!
OT but interesting re Jack Straw’s Oxforshire home :
http://archive.oxfordmail.net/2000/2/14/79448.html
Jack owns five properties altogether
Wot no bean stalk?
Five homes good, one home bad.
Hey Jack, why stop at five, you’re a Labour Minister FFS?
Yes, but only three have basement-level, Olympic-sized swimming pools and I may get rheumatoid arthritis any time soon. Plus, my son has a huge pot habit.
Do you take lettings Jack?
he takes any shit as long as it it can go on expenses.
Oh, my old man’s a dustman
He wears a dustman’s hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
And he buys me pot.
It’s not Eurohash, you know. This stuff comes in a diplomatic bag.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Have they dumped Loonie Brown yet?
Anybody in the NuLab Cabinet who has said in the last 12 months that Gordon Brown is doing a good job deserves to be automatically disqualified from any future leadership challenge on the grounds that they a fucking liar and therefore not to be trusted.
Allow me to edit that:
Anybody in the NuLab Cabinet …… deserves to be automatically disqualified from any future leadership challenge on the grounds that they are fucking useless and therefore not to be trusted.
There.
Much better
Afghanistan Banana Stand…you’re a Hunt.
Nope – try this…
Anybody in … NuLab … …… deserves to be automatically disqualified from any future leadership challenge on the grounds that they are fucking useless and therefore not to be trusted.
There.
MUCH Much better
Blears doesn’t get it, does she? It’s all very fine bleating that ‘we are not getting our message across’ which is always the cry of NuLiebour whenever things are not going the way they would like. However, the contrary is true; the message has never been clearer and is there for all to see – it is one of monumental incomptence and crass stupidity.
They have a temporary distraction. It seems to be a good day to bury bad chipmunks.
As BBC R4 news is reporting Blears’ clever blabbings of “support”, she is about to be axed, quartered, and hung out to dry as an example to obstreperous chipmunks everywhere. They don’t mind clever – tho only if it’s McTraitor – but they don’t like too clever by half.
Frist!!!! oops sorry First !!! (not PB you say?)
Your “Blogosphere Making British Politics” link is an unreadable Google machine gobbledegook of El Mondo. Link to it original Spanish and let the linguists on here enjoy it pur e dur. (The rest can find other machines to do the dirty work)
But good stuff UK’s Drudge goes global
But its good fun trying to read it!
puro y duro, por favor.
It was me wot did done the transliteration.
“pur e dur” is Scotch! but I grant you its better in puro y duro
It’s actually a great read in its translated form. It says that political blogs have “some significance because for the first time one has to shake the prime minister”. Having seen Gordon Brown on Youtube, I want to shake him as well.
Yeah me too, preferably by the throat
I speak English very well. I learn it from a book.
Dos cervaza, por favor!
Como?
hasta la vista, baby
and one for me mate
He’s from Barcelona.
Is he the man Brown blames?
If so Brown will take full responsibility and sack him as responsible!
I know about Diane Abbott, Frank Field, Glenda Jackson, and Kate Hoey, but who else is on Brown’s hit list of 20 MPs he’s threatening to have deselected and what’s this about Abbott being about to dish some real dirt on Brown?
She knows where his secret snot stash is.
Don’t stash it! Fresh is best.
Dried is best – Fife jerky is becoming a fashionable, vegan alternative to the original South African product amongst the socialistas.
Not vegan, alas, Tone — mammalian mucus, remember?
Kate was our Student Union leader at City of London College in 1970.
Always had a soft spot for her.
Go on then, did you give her one? If not, why not, and who did?
The only people who should consider voting Labour at the next General Election are those in Kate Hoey and Frank Fields constituencies…..
Kate Hoey was a collegue lecturer. Very busy woman. Lots of energy.
I hope she will come over to the Light Side. Conservatism is about making Britain the best it can be.
City of London College.
And you can write ?
The above MPs all voted against the government on the Gurkha motion.

They should stand as Independents, they are going to have a better chance of being elected that way anyway at the next election.
Whatbloodyever happened to wrinkly Glenda Jackson? £1 for a truthful answer to: Moreton in Marsh Old prossies home.
Watch out for Bobby Jindal ( governor of Louisiana).
I saw him last summer and it was refreshing to see a politician talk about less government and lower govt spending without any sign of guilty conscience.
He could be the next Jack Kemp. Would not be surprised to see him running for Vice President in 2012 or 2016.
Bobby Jindal is rightly feared by the godless communists as he has the personal power of good old fashioned no-nonsense Exorcism to back up his frighteningly powerful TV appearances. Such as his televised response to Obama’s speech at the Capitol which my American friends tell me was “jawdropping” and “unforgettable” It raised his profile throughout the land and made him a household name on every talk show apparently. Clearly a man to be reckoned with.
Jindal’s speech was not well done in that instance.
That does not alter the fact that his demonstrated ability and ideas are refreshing, especially in contrast to empty suit Obama, his teleprompter and unsavoury Chicago friends.
Your American friends are easily impressed.
Everything our PM says is jaw-dropping.
Jindal is a dolt whose prominence in the Republican Party is everything to do with the colour of his skin and nothing to do with his abilities (which are extremely limited).
If Jindal and the equally useless Steele are the best the Republicans have to offer, expect them to be a minority in Congress for a long time to come.
He’s pretty popular in Louisiana.
@Half-eyed Scottish Idiot
In Louisiana, a monkey would be popular if it had the letter R after its name.
Also you need to check your facts, amigo. When Jindal first stood for the Louisiana governorship on a Republican ticket, most Republican voters stayed home. At the time this was attributed to soft racism – the simple unwillingness of southern white GOP-voters to support a dark-skinned candidate. Now it’s generally accepted that he was simply a weak candidate who did nothing to energise the local Republican base. His current “popularity” in Louisiana is purely comparative – he is popular by comparison with his incompetent Democratic rivals. He is effective by comparison with his incompetent Democratic rivals. He is good at his job by comparison with his incompetent Democratic rivals.
In an absolute sense, however, he’s a cretin and not fit to lick the boots of true Republican giants like Jack Kemp.
Jindal did an awful reply to the budget, whichever fool thought it was a good idea to put the ravages of Katrina on in the background needs a long country walk. The Republicans have no credible candidates left.
I doubt that HW Bush would have been saved by a better VP though, and those on losing tickets do not tend to get another chance. So there would still have been Clinton.
Thing is Jindal did the reply speech to Obama’s budget. It was pathetic. Give me Sarah Palin is a tight leather mini skirt.
Better than Jaqui Smiff in a kaftan.
He did the budget reply because he was non-white. It’s same reason the godawful Michael Steele is head of the party.
The GOP has lost its way badly. Instead of offering genuine solutions, it’s fallen back on token politics. It thinks the best way to counter Obama’s message is to offer a cut-price alternative with its own black and brown candidates.
The problem is that Obama, whether you like him or not, is an effective politician, a skilled speaker and is capable of spinning his narrative to suit the broad aspirations of the American electorate. Jindal and Steele, on the other hand, are pretty much incapable of anything more complex than walking and chewing gum at the same time.
And, lest we forget, Born-Again Bobby Jindal was involved in some very nasty business where he and his buddies beat the living shit out of a woman as part of an “exorcism”. If you want to appeal to broad swathes of the country, you really don’t want a fundamentalist ex-Hindu who believes that all of America’s problems are caused by demonic possession.
Obama is NOT a good speaker. He can read from an autocue but when he has ot speak on th ego he’s the most inarticulate President ever.
As for the GOP, I still think Sarah Palin is the best choice. She got set upon by the dogs in the media and got burnt. I had ot laugh when BBC slapper Emily Maitlis reporting from america suggested Palin shouldn’t be VP as she has kids ot look after. Very right on from our Emily. So why wasn’t miss Maitliss back in the UK looking after her kids I wonder?
anon 4:07
must be upsetting watching a darkee getting moved up the party
If Sarah Palin gets the GOP nomination that is another term for Obama and whoever else is the Democratic candidate after.
you are having a fucking larf!
bobby’s a spastic.
Would this dirt on Brown have anything to do with the deal struck with formula 1 and tobacco advertising?
Or something to do with his trips to Cape Cod?

no,no widow wankey is that dick Timney
Clarke Peters humorously alluded to Swine Flu! Has the world gone QUITE mad !!! We shouldn’t have to put up with Johnny foreigner coming here and cracking jokes without a by your leave just because he is considered a superb actor in one of the most groundbreaking TV shows in years by those who are blind to the intellectual clout and deconstructionist genius of Del Boy in Only fools and horses.
This is as offensive as.. I’m sorry I don’t have my Daily Mail guide to hysteria to hand at the moment, but suffice to say if I did then I would be spluttering into my Tea while comparing it to the affrontery of socialworker paedoenablers or a corrupt Politician on the make.
On a completely different tack, what of Berlusconi Guido ?
Is it not heartbreaking that he will now be subject to the sneering of Tabloid ridicule as the unthinking masses seek out the juicy gossip of his soon to be ex-wife ? What has she ever done for him anyway ? A man of his immense stature brought low by such an entirely unpredictable turn of events is surprising indeed.
Children, for sure. Consortium, possibly. Going forward, as they dont’t say, Non sara’ bello, ma sara’ vero.
SIR – Extremely queer, good fellow. One will not get anywhere by reading The Mail, one shouldn’t wonder. Mrs. K enjoys Littlecock and the health-scare pages but then, she is 22 stones, sir. The rest of it? HRRUUMMPH.

One is almost tempted to wonder if these internet wallahs don’t have a bit of a loose screw Vis-à-vis to the whole Johny foreigner and wooftah brigade.
I must confess, I say Daily Mail guide as the small brightly coloured pamphlet was thrust between the pages of said organ and handed to me by a somewhat animated fellow in a black shirt who had been holding forth on the ills of society at some length.
He did posses a spodeish glint in his eye but seemed to know what was what in regard to the Colonies and so forth. This guide has been a constant (if somewhat Germanic and militarisitic) companion and would seem to be just the ticket for the stout fellows around here.
Splendid to hear that the art of “La chasse aux papillons” is still thriving though my adventures in that area ended badly as the well oiled barrels of a 12-gauge does not leave a great deal to pin to a board unfortunately.
SIR – Aha Sir B., sir.
You caught me trolling whilst the the old bag watched BBC Lies 24, old man. Not sure what the parp you are on about but I recognise the language. I think we, the near-to-be ex-people of this country, should give it both barrels before the umpire calls time, sir.
I’m not sane but I’m barfed if I don’t recognise insanity, in high places, when I see it.
To all you whipper-snappers out there: give it your best shot or forever hold your heads in shame. Same goes for the fillies, but they can hold their flaps instead.
I’m fading fast, so I’ll bid you good morn, young fellow.

Fucking qu*er word tripped the thought police AGAIN. Fucking sort it out. We don’t quite live in a totalitarian country yet. Fuck me. Colonel; I apologise on behalf of the moderating machine- it knows not what it doth. Come again, sir.
Ha, ha, mate. Just scrolling through, between pints, and I spied you, Finckter. Very interesting, son. Not the endless shite being spouted here BUT THE FACT THAT SOMEONE WAS SPIKED FOR USING A WORD THAT IS PART OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. THIS PLACE CLAIMS TO BE THE CHOSEN HANG-OUT FOR ‘LIBERTARIANS’ BUT THEY ARE SO FUCKING SCARED OF BEING UN-PC THAT A WORD, USED IN IT’S PROPER CONTEXT, SETS THE ALARM BELLS RINGING. FUCKING DISGRACE. FUCKING HYPOCRITES. YOU WONDER WHY THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKED – TAKE A TINY LOOK AT YOURSELVES, YOU POSERS. YOU ARE NOT THE REAL DEAL.

I agree. If the ‘qu*eer’ word was used, well; doesn’t that mean strange or odd? Can I now not use the ‘g*ay’ word to mean happy or fancy-free? Can I not use rum-bum to mean a sugar-based spirit licked off the buttocks of a close friend?
We already have words in the language to describe homosexuals; homosexual is quite a good one. Why is our language being hijacked by que*rs and other bowel-ferrets? Can I say ALL Muslims are hypocrites? I thought so. I want my language back. I might start a petition.

Who the fuck is “Clarke Peters” and why have you got the hots for him?
Actually, I thought it was a good joke, I can’t really see anyone taking offence, apart from the professional offence-takers, such as the Muslims and Israelis, and the nulabs and the BBC and the social services, and the police…. e.t.c.
Could the dirt be the name of his secret man-friend?

Talking about Libertarian social values, has anyone else noticed that the photo on the front of today’s Observer Escape section depicts a woman giving a bloke a hand-job (at the bottom of the page)? I think we can safely assume the spirit of CP Scott is now firmly dead and buried.

Brown’s Britain: One in five people of working age are classified as “disabled”.
http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=113221
Shirkers paradise!
On local radio Graham Stringer MP just called for Brown’s immediate resignation and a caretaker leader (Jack Straw?) to be installed before the Euro’s. He says 90% of local Labour Party members in Manchester are backing him.
Brown is dead man walking.
It would be nice if he wasn’t still walking.
..nking, surely.
Any details – what station?
Various points -
My other half is one of the disabled – she has a pituitary adenoma, the drugs which are intended to help her have serious side-effects – euphemistically referred to as ‘Personality Changes’, Hyper-mania to others!
She’s received DLA for Manic-Depression for the past 4 years, at top rate due to the severity of the ‘personality changes’ leading to three 6-month section 7s. Due to Purnell’s policy the following has happened:
1. She no longer gets the same DLA allowance, despite the severity of the symptoms getting worse – purely for political reasons, and there’s a core vote of spiteful little men who think that Adolf Hitler got it right with euthanasing the mentally ill. The Conservatives have raised as an issue – and are disgusted that the ill are being used as a voting issue (not to be confused with the lazy).
2. With the Labour background policy of cutting Mental Health Costs – the local Mental Health Unit in my area has been closed. My help-line of psychiatrists and Community Mental Health Nurses have been slashed.
3 As I now work as the only Mental Health worker in my partners case – I get £44 a week, for a 24/7 job, replacing Psychiatrists, Mental Health Nurses, and a Community Mental Health care facility. As 1 of 800,000 carers, I can state catagoricially, those nasty neo-Nazi opinionated little men are the ones effectively getting the something for nothing.
While caring for my other half – I completed a PhD, I’m currently working on 4 research papers in: Robotic Programming, Psychology, Mathematics and Robotic Sensor development/Biological entity Physiology; I have a tonne of work to do. I don’t get research grants, as I can’t get work at a University – indeed when I graduated from my PhD, my department at University was mergered (closed) – as my other half suffers with seperation anxiety, which leads to a significant mania-depression cycle.
Nice to see that the mentally ill are refered to as workshy/all other kinds of abuse for illness that is beyond their control. Oh, and the medications to treat mental illness (hypermania) leads to fat mental ill patients – and this government has led on a hate campaign about the ‘fat’, so this section of the community are despised for both being mentally affected by an illness beyond their control and all but spat at for being overweight – lovely society that they live in!
Hitler come back: You’re not the villian for British small-minded voters!
It’s not genuinely mentally ill people who are being vilified, just all those con artists who are playing the system.
The old “bad back” syndrome has become an epidemic in this country.
My brother lost his leg in a motorcycle accident 20 years ago, and suffered brain damage to boot. But under this government he must attend the doctors once every six months to prove that his leg hasn’t grown back – I’m not kidding!!
With the brain damage he forgets to attend and loses his benefit again and again – so much for caring Labour. They have introduced things that no other government would have dared to.
The issue has been hi-jacked for votes by Purnell, with the statement that the genuinely ill should be forced to work, and DLA which was supposed to help the most vulnerable/marginalised in the society was used as a guide to determine who could work – who couldn’t. Great sounds good – until the point was made that those recieving DLA reviews suddenly found that their entitlement was being deliberately cut to suit political ends.
My other half had her level of DLA cut, and as a ‘shut-up’, told that she’d get permanent DLA entitlement.
But another point is: I had a car crash – not my fault – I got rammed from behind at a pedestrian crossing. When I recieved a compensation payout – finally, the DSS took the entire Incapacity Benefits payments from the payout. This is for a genuine case – I don’t see that happening for the ‘skivvers’. This is the current state of affairs that’s happening, the genuinely ill/sick are being targetted, ‘cos they’re easier to attack.
These are the policies that are being packaged up by Labour to gain votes.
While not inflicted myself I do know that what you say is true. I know a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic who has had her DLA stopped & been told she must seek work. Her illness manifests itself most significantly when she leaves her home unaccompanied so what sort of job they expect her to do defeats me. Well done Purnel you bloody waste of space
Purnel the minister who want’s to charge the poor door step lending rates of interest on crisis loans

Skivvers know how to take the piss out of the system, those in need sometimes don’t. Therefore Labour headline policies make the in need suffer.

The same happened to me luv, but I was walking properly again after a week.
Obviously you didn’t need to have various operations on your back.
When you were ‘rammed from behind’ – what was it? A mother with her pram?!
More like a 15 stone mutha fucka.
Nuts – thanks, mate – my wife was in much the same way for the last couple of years of her life, and it was a bastard to deal with.
The constant hassle and fucking about that we got from the various government agencies was as stressful as the original condition.
Hope yours turns out happier than mine did.
Do you speak for all the other handicapped adults of working age?
If you just want to talk about your wife, it doesnt really account for the other millions on benefits.
I think your experience is all too common. Interesting point about drugs like olanzepine making people overweight and therefore the patient is frowned upon. Targets in the NHS has meant that teams such as crisis resolution home treatment teams have targets on freeing up hospital beds by shifting responsibility of 24 hour care on good people like yourself. We are now even seeing “gateway workers” employed in primary care to make sure the mentally ill can be diverted away from NHS resources.
My sister’s PCT will not pay for her prescriptions of Lyrica (c.£40/month) even though it has a license for her diagnosis. Generalised anxiety disorder and maintenance in bipolar disorder. Says a lot about the government’s attitude towards mental health.
Well, I had stopped my car at the pedestrian crossing – on the way to work – and got rammed by a mid-size car into my small 3-door jobbie. Everything behind the centre-posts was damaged, the spare wheel was forced out of the arch, through the rear seats and bounced.
The car was forced (despite having both the foot-brake and hand-brake on) over the zebra crossing and about another car length further!
I think that scores as quite some impact! Anyway – didn’t do the back much good.
As for the other half’s issues.
Aaaargh! Let’s get rid of Labour – and get someone in with a conscience!
242 Aproposofwhat – sorry to hear about your wife. The being kept awake until 3 am – and woken up at 5 am because other half doesn’t need sleep – is something I could do without.
Nulabour and their police chums, and indeed the CSA, have a common policy of going after the soft targets.
The new lefties are on their way out. Hang on as long as you can.
No spell checker here – a PhD – Gawd!

Good morning Prime Minister…
You have missed out the lack of bollocks!
One in five ARE disabled.
Mental disability is no joke, though I’m surprised the figure is so low.
Judging by the general standards of discernment, logic and debate, I’d have put it at forty five per cent at least.
And that’s just the graduates.
And you’re obviously one of ‘em.
A fine riposte.
You could be good at this when you grow up.
You’d know for sure if you’d been properly riposted by me luv. Now go and get me a beer, there’s a good girl.
You have got it wrong.
Since 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese And there are 5 people in my family, it must be one of them. It’s either my mum or my dad… or maybe my older brother Colin or my younger brother Ho-Cha Chu. But I’m pretty sure it’s Colin.
and that’s one of Mr Cooper’s I believe.
and what is it the Doritos crap advert???
That fine advert is stocking Guido’s wine cellar. Fucking love Doritos. Have Doritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (As part of calorie controlled diet*)
*With Guinness.
Still a crap ad Mr Fawkes, glad to hear that it is nevertheless keeping you in vintage fish fingers.
Greg. Junior. I was in the movie business three years.
Do you think your dear, little pecker would even wake me up?
Don’t forget the BBC. That shithole is full of drug adicts and mentally challenged morons.
And that’s just cbeebies.
cdruggies more like
They’re shovelling modern coke; ie pinch of coke, plenty of brick-dust, a large quantity of laxative, some crushed caffeine tabs and some sticky-back plastic.
Fuck, when I was ‘on air’, me and the boys were, literally, flying. So were our guests. Why do you think Mimi the elephant went all hyper and shat herself all over John Noakes – yeah, BBC ‘hospitality’.
Fuck, those were the days. Can’t get a decent snort to save your life these days.
@ GF
Cut out the Doritos and you could be normal.
“People used to say ‘pigs would fly’ if we had a black president. Well 100 days into Obama’s presidency, swine flu.”
Now where have I heard this one before?
Shocking breaking news from AljaBeeba. Five Bellies could be about to announce the remove of some 3/4 million DNA samples from Plod’s collection, presumably the ones Plod failed to find a charge for but “tasted” anyway. Believe it when pigs fly. In the meantime whoever it is that has Five Bellies fingerprints should continue to keep them in a locked safe.
Ah a distraction announcement – again.
I believe last week’s was Hillsborough victims inquiry being opened up 10 yrs early – what happened to that one then
It’s no longer in the news….
Should be interesting to see Liverpool’s reaction when nothing further comes of the ‘announcement’. … nothing particularly new.
Isn’t Liverpool a ‘Labour safe-seat’?
The announcement was just another headline non-activity by nu-liebour for the sake that it ‘looked good’.
Tory Bear has a interesting little snippet that Woman’s Own has done a hatchet job on Kate Garraway and Draper. Not available online though
http://www.torybear.com/2009/05/and-then-he-was-gone.html
Yeah , they’ve had to forgo a very nice little earner to appear on All Star Mr & Mrs ( the irony!) ‘cos Kate is feeling stressed at Droopy’s latest antics.
No point in appearing. They were bound to to loose as Draper could not answer a question honestly anyway.
** CLAPS **
Wasn’t it Michael Howard, that well-known libertarian, who put Labour under a thought-crime charge for publishing a poster titled “pigs might fly”. If I remember correctly, he accused them of making a racial slur against the Jews.
This one you mean?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4217009.stm
Yes indeed
** WHISTLES INNOCENTLY **
Well – no changes there then. Even the excuses given!
IF anything – the fact that Labour got away with the issue with a minor scrape in the public arena only emboldened the elements to continue with the slurs.
It must be very tempting to play the race card and it is becoming all the more common.
If anyone fancies a laugh at the Hay Festival – Tuesday 26th May, 7.30pm.
“Derek draper talks to Benna Waites
‘Life Support’
The psycho-the-rapist makes life happier and better with his ‘Surival Guide For the Modern Soul’”
His passed record speaks for itself – WHAT A W*NKER!!!
PS. I might just turn up in the audience wearing my Guido Fawkes top.
Draper is desperate for money. What does he spend it all on?
Well certainly not on hair cut or shaving products, he looks a f*cking mess, tramps would be ashamed to keep his company.
Well I might just join you – got to air my Berkeley T shirt.
65. Draper is just desperate.
He seems to spend a lot of it down the Westminster Arms though he also likes poncing drinks off mugs.
Draper might be at Hay for a couple of days as another of the events ought to feature the F*ckwit…
Sunday 31st May. 10.00am
“Quentin Letts talks to Raj Persand”
“The columnist and author of ’50 People that Buggered up Britain’ sits down in ‘The Psychiatrists Chair’”
Surely Draper and the McHuntBrideBroon gang must occupy at least half of the top slots.
@201 Bollocks to NuLabour
Would that be the Raj Persaud who was suspended for plagiarism?
TV psychiatrist Raj Persaud suspended for plagiarism
Hay was a special place where I spent some of my childhood, as we had relatives who lived there, then they brought this fucking festival to ruin the place.
Does anybody know if Derek Draper was suspended as a “psychotherapist”?
He should be suspended.
Chucked out of BACP.
BACP are “holding hearings”…
“Suspended” is just a fancy word for “hanged”.
No its the ” Survival Guide for the modern Asshole”
“Draper is a Hoon”, nice idea…”Draper is a Cnut” (With correct spelling) is better.
(Can’t tell if that was what you meant anyway)
Yes Hunt is what I meant.
Where the fuck is Rory Bremner. He would do a great YouTube sketch.
Comedians only come out to play when the Tories are in power. When Labour are in they give the government an easy ride.
Just watch Spitting Image, Ben Elton etc come back on the TV as soon as Cameron becomes PM.
Spot on. Since George W bush has gone note how the BBC have had ot resort to slagging off Thatcher and good old 1990′s Tory sleaze. Why not tkae the piss out of the one eyed Scottish Hunt, the fat Hunt Prescott (pig shagger himself) or five bellies smiff?
Not Bremner. Look at this.
They know they would never get a job with the BBC again.
Bremner did a devastating expose of Labours spending just at the start of the Credit crunch.
Bremner spends at least as much time slagging off the Tories as he does Labour despite the fact Labour have been the govt for the past 12 years and have made a complete balls up of it.
It really says it all about Bremner, Bird and Fortune that 3 ‘comedians’ have a better grip on the situation than Brown.
What kind of Joke is Brown when the comedians could do better?
Good point. Bremner is a self-confessed Lib-Dem supporter. The best satirical series was a cartoon called 2DTV. Anyone remember it? First of all it got pushed back from a 9.00 slot to a much later one and then it was axed. Might that be because it took the piss out of the government?
I particularly liked Prescott’s watch that just had “breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper” marked on it.
i wonder if he would have had his posts deleted
I wonder if he would have used capital fucking letters once in a fucking while.
US Regulators will drop a bomb shell next week and spook the markets when they announce a number of US banks have failed their “stress” tests.

Labour plotters plan to replace Brown, Charles Clarke’s shock demand: Ed Balls must be sacked
Gordon Brown’s future as Prime Minister was looking increasingly uncertain last night as his Labour enemies plotted to sack him and install Health Secretary Alan Johnson in No10. The attack is being led by former Home Secretary Charles Clarke, who today calls for Mr Brown’s chief Cabinet ally, Schools Secretary Ed Balls, to be fired in a clear-out of the Prime Minister’s ‘poisonous’ inner circle.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1176738/As-Labour-plotters-plan-replace-Brown-Charles-Clarkes-shock-demand-Ed-Balls-sacked.html
“Balls” and “sack” in the same sentence … hmm, it must be true.

Ah, I have a free pass to the Hay show. Yes I think I may just have to get shit faced and shout abuse at him. The T-shirt I think may be a good idea, but because the Berkeley thing is an “in joke” a may just have a “Draper is a Hunt” T-Shirt made. It may be full of Labour supports that “don’t get it”. Or maybe a new T-Shirt that says, If you think Gordon is a Genius you need to get your eyes tested. All the people that are frowning will be outed.
Well if you at first do not suceed to deflect attention from government corruption and woes try again
The Government has warned of a “second wave” of swine flu after the current outbreak dies out.
Health Secretary Alan Johnson said the deadly H1N1 virus is being contained effectively but there could be a “much more serious” pandemic in the autumn or winter.
“That should put them off another Winter of Discontent sh Gordon nod wink”
“More serious” than this means nothing. More serious than sod all is meaningless.

“conservative on abortion”
Yet another straight white male doing his best to control women’s sexuality. Just what we need.
77% of US anti-abortion leaders are male
100% of them will never be pregnant.
He sounds like the rest of the GOP – a basket case heading for the sump of irrelevancy. Sadly, the same can’t be said for the Ashcroft faction of the Tory party which doubtless is exactly the same (conservative on abortion = aka ‘anti-choice’ and libertarian on immigration ‘aka – kick them all back to where they came from’
what a depressing choice.
You may think anti abortion is anti-choice, but what choice does the unborn child have in the matter? Do they not have the benefit if due process before their life is extinguished?
We don’t wanna be born into your shitty world, mate. Givvus a break and stop patronising us.
Haven’t these feminists heard of contraceptives, or even saying “No” now and again? That’s when they should be making their choice.
another straight white male trying to reduce horrific abortion figures for late and even partial birth abortions..along with plenty of right thinking other humans be they black/white, gay/straight, male/female.
seems to me that straight white men have as much right to a view on a HUMAN RIGHTS issue as any one else, even if you don’t agree with it
Tell em NewGirl x . I can’t be arsed , hun .
Plus , I’ve trolled more than is decent for one human , in one day . Na night .
E x .
I’m very anti-abortion, but since I can’t get pregnant, and it won’t ever happen to me, it’s none of my business how any individual woman chooses.
I’d be pissed off if I got a partner pregnant and she decided to have an abortion, but it’s not me that has to carry a child for 9 months and undergo the associated health risks.
So I’m pro-choice in practice, but pro-life in principle.
If that’s contradictory, then so what – I’m just an ordinary bloke, not a politician. If I was a politician, I’d have to reconcile the argument on the grounds of choice and liberty, no matter what my own views are.
world population 7.5 billion and rising
in those countries where there is choice (and there are very large portions of the world where there is none), there are enough children being born who are wanted, or at least tolerated not to need the ones who are not.
If you want to make contraception mandatory, you have to make it work 100% of the time, you have to manage rape as if it were actually a crime, not a problem only if you’re caught, you have to allow for human error.
if you’re a man, you have no say in this. If you’re a woman, you have the right to decide. You don’t have the right to enforce your decisions on anyone else.
Guinevere: you are a hoon. Limiting people who may hold an opinion on issues of human rights is very new Labour though
So Guin, you also support “male abortion” or does the women have the right to decide if the man should pay out too.
Libertarian is “let them in to work”, not “kick them out”. You got it 180 degrees the wrong way round.
If you don’t get pregnant you won’t have to worry about abortions.
If you want to have a child, pay for the little bastard your fucking self.

Gordon Brown new speech re: MPs expenses scandal…
47,402
Oh dear another one saying she did nothing wrong
Lady Uddin, who became Britain’s first woman Muslim peer in 1998, said in a solicitor’s statement: “I do not believe that I have done anything wrong or breached any House of Lords rules. Should the relevant House of Lords authorities wish to investigate the matter I will, of course, co-operate fully.”
The statement added: “The Wapping house is rented, while I own the property in Maidstone. The Maidstone property is furnished and I strongly deny that I have never lived there. Indeed I have stayed there regularly since buying it.”
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090503/tuk-peer-denies-100-000-expenses-claim-dba1618.html
The Sptlflds Housing Association who allow Baroness Uddin to rent her London home from them need to be asked why, when their remit is to provide housing for people in need, they are allowing her to take up this rented property when she owns one of her own. The utility bills of the Kent property, electric,gas,water will show whether it has been lived in for the last 3 years – all the neighbours claim it hasn’t. And finally , thank goodness, Angus Robertson , Leader of the SNP in Westminster has stated that he is requesting that the police investigate the possibility of fraud in this case.
I’ve no particular axe to grind with Uddin but it would be quite wonderul for finally see one of those snidey bastards dragged over the coals.
Surprised? For many years it was quite common in London for Labour Party councillors and apparatchiks to corruptly wangle their way into housing association properties as the associations themselves were usually run by their mates. ‘Decent’ council housing was not immune for this practice either.
Social housing is a con, another means of ensuring that the people are dependent on the state. The issue is ensuring a free market in ‘cheap’ affordable housing. Unfortunately Brown’s debt driven house price bubble made sure that many ordinary families cannot afford to buy a home out of ordinary-level earnings.
Of course it would be useful to look at who the committee members of this Housing Association have been over the years – members of the Uddin family?
http://www.spitalfieldsha.co.uk/about_us.html
“Spitalfield HA is the largest Bangladeshi led Housing Association in the UK”.
Baroness Uddin came to the UK as a teenager with her family from Bangladesh.
Bangladeshi or not is irrelevant – The question is, is it abiding by its charter to provide housing to those in need and is it abiding by its rules and regulations in renting to Baroness Uddin, when she owns a house elsewhere?
Absolutely! no one who owns a house should be eligible to rent another one from a Housing Association.
I hope Angus Robertson is also going to be writing to the Spitalfields Housing Association to ask these pointed questions, if not I hope someone else is going to do it.
242 – Exactly and the Bangla tribe will close ranks and protect its Uddin as its own. Don’t mess with us we have postal votes by the household-full wrapped up and ready to go, hohoho.
As someone suggested earlier, let’s see her gas an electric bills for her Maidstone residence since she bought it.
telephone account for this address? tv licence? mail delivery? She’s fucked.
We need more Ron Paul types, that would sort a few things out.

Interesting piece by Jackie Ashley describing who the Big Hoon obtained his advice from:
“As his defenders assert, we all knew that Brown was not a great media performer. What is more surprising is that he is equally bad at management of his own Downing Street operation. A few weeks ago, I’m told, he called in Alastair Campbell, Philip Gould and Peter Mandelson for a Tuesday strategy summit. But they found out about another summit, the following day, with Damian McBride, Charlie Whelan and co. In effect, the first group’s message to Brown was – no. You can’t agree one set of propositions with us, and then go back to the old mates’ circle and decide something else. One meeting – or no meetings. He opted for the second.”
Oh for christsake Guido. Please stop linking to foreign language newspapers that aren’t in English editions. These translation addons are OK if you want to rent a hotel room, but if I didn’t already know you were a rogue before reading that German one, I’d sure as hell have no idea what the guy was on about. Cant we get them translated first? There must be a call centre somewhere in Bangalore that can do it cheap enough.

We have asian and jewish friends and relatives and children that are a mix of both, and we don’t agree with you. PC and multiculturalism used by Labour is a means of control not a freedom and prevents integration. In other words it damages not heals.

Have you been playing tetris with letters?
What a fucking twat you are, IGWF.
Language is language, no matter who uses it – black on white racism (or black on cream in this case) is every bit as offensive as white on black racism.
Personally, I saw nothing offensive, but viewed through the multiculturespecs of Neues Arbeit, almost anything can be viewed as unacceptable.
I just wish that Brown, Balls and the whole bunch of gits would go away and leave us in peace.
“Brown, Balls and the whole bunch of gits” are certainly unacceptable.
So is new God Obama.
Racism lies in the eyes of the beholder, usually a twisted PC-idiot schooled by NuLiebour and its international socialist network of political perverts and in the UK hammered into the next generation by NUTS teachers (was ever a union so aptly named).
Time to end multiculti madness and revert to a minimum standard of acceptable social integration.
Incomers either accept the societies where they wish to settle exactly as they are, or stay away. Its quite simple really and so much cheaper for us all.

Why should there be? The comment the actor made wasn’t risqué at all but if it were another ethnic group of someone in the public eye it would no doubt be condemned by sycophants everywhere and the usual round of inane apologetic statements would be issued. It’s all so stilted, on all sides!
I don’t see why this man could make a statement and another couldn’t based on the colour of their skin, it’s just substituting racism for racism. It’s just so redundant.
Put your energy to better use. Guido wasn’t complaining about the actors race or attaching any blame to anyone except the ludicrous nature of allowed speech which I feel does more to propagate hatred and division than it does to solve it.

Nothing is ever going to get better if we just can’t think and act like adults.
“People used to say ‘pigs would fly’ if we had a black president. Well 100 days into Obama’s presidency, swine flu.” Is hardly political commentary, why does everything have to be such a big deal?
Besides Obama is terrible on his own merits, Clarke Peters didn’t need to bring race into the mix; it doesn’t add anything to his point.
“Labour ministers have a collective responsibility for the government’s lamentable failure to get our message across.” Hazel Shorthouse.
If you mean the message that we’re all fucked, I think that’s coming through loud and clear.
No we aren’t, they are. That’s why they are all being so in our face and voluble at the moment. We will survive – they won’t ( as in – they are all going to fall at the next election and lose their very generous expense accounts.) How sad!
OK then, we’re not all fucked.
My father always said that Labour best liked those who were unemployed , they were their best voters. The more unemployed, the bigger the labour vote. In modern day terms that includes those living on benefits ( then again perhaps that should also be interpreted as those living on expenses in the House of Commons and the Lords ) After all, Benefits and Expenses come from the same source Our Taxes.

As a 24/7 carer – I’d love to get attendence allowance… actually, I’d love to get anything!!

I am a grandparent, caring for a disabled grandchild. Like you we get nothing . Furthermore, our local NHS hospial is useless,over the last eight years it has failed her again and again. We have had to, on two separate occasions . take our grand child into the private sector using our pension fund, to get help. I absolutely don’t understand how JK Rowling can support Labour the way she has when our grand chld has been so badly let down by them. Question is, are JKRowling’s children in state education? And , if they need medical help does she seek it on the NHS? I doubt t.

Some of my best pigs are friends. Salt of the Earth.
tough shit
Well if I was a hard working employed fully integrated muslim member of the english community I wouldn’t be offended. I would only be offended by those who chose to live on benefits or range the streets in gangs to terrorise innocent people. The debate on here is all about honest people who want to work, not live off benefits and not sponge off governmental expenses . It is, all about HONEST people. And they come in all shapes, sizes and colours. But like Guido we have to be prepared to stand against those who are NOT honest. So let’s get on and expose them!

Did you work in the rocking horse shit recycling industry?
You say:
“If the libertarian-conservative Kemp had then succeeded the original President Bush, we might never have had Presidents Clinton or Dubya.”
erm…this doesn’t make any sense. How could Kemp have succeeded Bush when Bush lost to Clintong? Do you mean if he had been VP then Bush could have beaten Clinton??
Psss…Wanna see a broken man staring into the abyss?

Errr I have a confession to make…..I find my pork sword is attracted to Hazel Blears, I want her, I need her, preferably bent over a desk with her smalls around her ankles….what is happening to me for Gods sake.
You have gone crazy.
Next patient, please.
The first signs of swine fly?
you are David Blunket and I claim my £5.
You’ve got a nasty case of gingivitis.
Hint – find a very low desk, or get her an orange box to stand on.
Personally, I prefer to rest my pint on her head while she stops talking for a few blessed minutes.

Did anybody see rent a TV interview (or send me a tenner in a brown envelope) Keith Vaz appearing on the Marr show opposite Joanne Lumley.
On the one hand there was a principled, articulate, professional and on the other a TV obsessed, money grasping and inarticulate gibbering idiot. says a lot when the politician is the latter rather than the former. He actually tried to claim credit for Nulab’s handling of the Gurkha’s. Obviously rent a gob was the only one they could muster.
Lumley should stand against J Smith in the next election, it’ll be a landslide anyway with whoever stands against Smith but at least somebody with some sense of decency will end up in the Commons when Lumley wins.
Vaz could get under a rattlesnakes belly with a top hat on and is a total waste of skin, I despair that Vaz is not in prison for his shady dealings, If this lunatic ever gets into the Lord’s then the world’s gone mad. I’m going to personally check every single one of his expenses.
Note Balls and Copper are rumoured to ahve both been claiming for the same hotel rooms on sleepovers, roll on July 09,
Which Copper was Balls sleeping with and should Yvette be told?
Yes she should.
Balls and Cooper (not Copper) are crapping the expenses being published. They are in the crap on so many levels when this happens. I suspect she will stand down on the pretext of “raising” a family. Another dodgy eye wandering lunatic no doubt.
Perhaps Joanna Lumley should stand in Redditch.
Jackboots five bellies narrowly won in 2001 and 2005 with a small majority over the Conservative candidate Karen Lumley. Any relation?
I wonder if Vaz is the one who fiddled a sauna claiming to have a skin complaint? It does look a rather odd colour.
He was fiddling in a sauna, if the past is anything to go by, the taxpayer paid for it and the rent boy.
Is Vaz a gayboy?
“Is Vaz a gay boy?”
It would explain why he’s survived so many scandals…… a rather extensive photo collection.

OFT – The “seen elsewhere” Spanish and German newspapers, translated online are an excellent advertisement for not buying translation software.
Its free, its Google and agree its rubbish. (professional translators breath sigh of relief and complain about the low-priced human translated rubbish coming out of India and China etc)
Lindsay Hoyle on BBC news making veiled (actually overt) threats against Blears – looks a bit of a thug.
Also had Beckett on singing GB’s praises – now remind me – was it a herb garden we paid for at her house (not sure whether first, second or third house – possibly fifth, a la Jack Straw apparently)
Yes, the BBC’s studio story was “Brown defended” with a nice little assembly of all the usual suspects parroting their loyalty and that Brown is the “right man for the job”, blah, blah, blah.
Johnson, Straw and Beckett – three Labour goons. As usual the BBC’s viewpoint is “all about Labour”.
Lindsay Hoyle looks like a right fucktard.
Poor bastard’s had to live all his life with a gir’s name, no wonder he is a miserable c’unt.
Re caravan bucket: No it was window cleaning and a conservatory.
Excellent commentary by Redwood on Blears’ eff-up:
“Hazel Blears says the government is not getting its message across.
On the contrary, Hazel.
The last few weeks have been brilliant for letting the public see the true face of Brown’s regime.
The message of authoritarian control, stifling of freedom, class war, attacks upon success, feather bedding the public sector elite and the air of unreality about government borrowings and costs have all come across so well.”
http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2009/05/03/the-government-is-getting-its-message-across/
I agree with the wonder – exactly what does Broon’s inner elite hold on the Chipmunk for it to backdown and refuse any further comment?
After all, it’s got its own YouTube publicity machine going.
Has Chipmunk been caught bent over with smalls around ankles?
They’ve no guts. Any of them. Pour salt on them and they’d simply dissolve. It’s what Nu Labour do.

Just thought I’d post this again so we don’t forget – it’s been such a shower of shit the last few weeks it’s easily done. x
Hello Derek. Still smearing I see.
ooh no definitely not derek! that’s quite funny actually. No I’m just an ordinary Labour voter (since 1974) that’s pissed off with the lot of them and not partisan within the party at all. can’t believe they are so thoroughly corrupt.
I was a Labour voter from 1974 to 1997.
NEVER AGAIN!
sorry, back again Sky just had Baroness Uddin’s son on saying “if you want to target anythin, you target the system”. Now all go and work out what he means.
No let’s be quite clear – James Purnell – his 2nd home’ has cost the public purse – US- since 2001 a massive £145,000. That does not include what he has claimed for staff expenses, travel expenses , sundry expenses ec etc . I suspect all of them together will be even greater than his 2nd home figure. Come on Guido – we need you to investigate.??!!
That’s peanuts compared to what Cooper and Balls have claimed and govt minister Anne Keen and her MP husband.
Forget Purnell, the biggest expense fiddlers in Parliament are Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper.
TalkSport says a leading Manchester Labour MP has called for Brown’s immediate resignation.
Surely not Kaufman?
Stringer apparently. Says he has the backing of manchester labour party.
Dennis McShane was on the radio earlier ramping up speculation that Brown may be sacked after the euro elections in 5 weeks.
Is he still a Blairite or just a loose cannon?
No he’s a pole
Will Bruins resignation speech be the most-watched YouTube video he makes?
No, not if Purnell resigns after his expenses are published.
All the genuinely ill will wish to see what he has to say for himself after fucking them up the arse!
Send Jack one of your lovely kosher pizzas, you Hunt.

Let me share a wonderful quote inspired by one seen on the Manchester Evening News website:
TO ALL MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT:
PLEASE NOTE THAT “ANIMAL FARM” IS A WORK OF FICTION BY GEORGE ORWELL AND NOT, REPEAT NOT YOUR LIFE STYLE MAGAZINE.
OR,
Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should!
In tomorrows Guardian Welsh windbag Kinnock warns Labour MPs to support Brown or help the B NP.
In the Telegraph Harman admits she would like to take over as leader.
So, Labour’s wanky policies have got nothing to do with the rise of the BNP?
hahaha, you know you are in deepshit when Kinnock has to come out to defend you. Pack your bags Gordo.
So, the rise of the B NP has nothing to do with Labour’s wanky policies?
Thought not.
Keep Brown and get the BNP. Don’t forget, the longer this twat stays in charge, the bigger the electoral disaster Nu Labour faces.
And why would anyone take any notice of the Welsh windbag? After all, he grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory, didn’t he? Allll Rigggghhhhtttt!
Kinnock doing a Bush impersonation “either for us or against us”.
The fuckwit doesn’t realise the entire country would prefer to be against them.
We should stop going down these party political lines and get rid of all the corrupt political bastards of all parties first then we can back to honest political views.
Grow up you thick, naive little prick.
I suppose you are a middle class twat that does not have to buy out of date bread at the end of day. your missus most probably knows the breadman.
arthur, I think the lack of fresh bread in your diet is affecting your ability to write anything useful or funny.
Fuck me anonymous that took awhile to think of that.
My namesake contracted the original Guido to solve this type of problem. Get rid of the whole lot. So we might lose the honest ones…
… but we could run a competition to guess who both of them were.
Unfortunately either we have government or we have anarchy. Power corrupts, cliché I know but it is true. The only thing that we can hope is that a big enough example is made of them that the taste stays in ones mouth for a long duration. Sadly the next generation always forgets and thus history will always repeat itself. I personally think the lot of them should be stripped of all assets under the terrorism act and they should be tried for treason. I would rather have a prime minister who did not want the job (as in I Claudius) than someone who goes out of their way to get it. Alas the world is full of nasty little shits hell bent on power. I guess it’s just swings and roundabouts. Bit yes guillotining them in Trafalgar square would make a bloody great TV.
Robert Catesby says:
… but we could run a competition to guess who both of them were.
What? That many?!
Probably – the only ones who are on the level are the Conservative front bench as the majority are already Millionaires!
Dr Nuts how did they become millionaires.
Arthur
Not by troughing taxpayer money in the HoC, which is what the liebour lot have done on the basis of “rights and equal opportunities”. Scum.
The Conservative front bench were/are in business or their Grandad’s were.
(Exception for aberrants like Derek Conway and Co. who have been done over already and will be waddling off come the election)
Revealed: How Gordon Brown threw a tantrum during a TV interview – and had to be soothed by Lord Mandelson
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1176735/Revealed-How-Gordon-Brown-threw-tantrum-TV-interview–soothed-Lord-Mandelson.html
Meanwhile Brown is due for more botox jabs his week.
Brown is on a mission to piss-off every journalist in the country.
Good
You have to find a journalist first.
Wars on, Brown is obviously not in a position to dictate anything, events dear boy, events. Grab the popcorn.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/gordon-brown/5269662/Harriet-Harman-to-fight-for-leadership-if-Gordon-Brown-is-forced-out.html
Harriet Harman to fight for leadership if Gordon Brown is forced out.
Harriet Harman, Labour’s deputy leader, would block the coronation of a unity candidate and fight for the leadership of the party should backbenchers attempt to force Gordon Brown from office before the next General Election, The Daily Telegraph has learnt.
(excellent news, she aint gonna let anyone just waltz in, knew it would happen, the “its my turn” brigade will tear the party to shreds)
However, friends have told The Daily Telegraph that Miss Harman will not stand aside in favour of a rival considered more appealing to voters. She believes she has as much chance as anyone of winning a leadership contest – particularly given her proven track record in party elections.
Her refusal to be pushed aside means that if Mr Brown does stand down or is forced from office, Labour would face a potentially bruising and lengthy leadership contest in the run-up to the general election, which must take place in just over a year’s time.
Most MPs agree that such a battle would be electoral suicide at a time when the public expects the Government to focus fully on tackling the recession.
There is a theory about Hazel Blears in comments today . It is said she spoke out against Gordon Brown because she believes he is going to relieve her of her post. Whatever No.10 know, they are damaged by her comments. Well GOOD. Pity Hazel is also such a HOON and only concerned with saving her own skin. She just wants to keep claiming expenses. Hazel!- you need to know, that we know, what you are. That is a hypocritical, expenses dependent person – but not for much longer- the election is coming
Are Bals and Copper with their questioned expenses the one’s on suicide watch???
Is it pay per view?
She’ll be going some day at 4am in the morning just after MacBrownTrousers has given her his full support. The little munchkin has been finding recent cabinet meetings increasingly challenging because of her stature was insufficient to withstand the dodge-bogey challenge.
Apparently it’s not a political decision, but health and safety; they are frightened she might get trodden on. The Safety Orange hair helped but was insufficient, and she refuses point blank to wear a flashing light.
ahh but is the bunker too cynical , do labour want to pin reciepts to gordon and then flush him ????
Guido could you not allow the name anonymous, let them at least have a alias so we can at least read who is writing what.
You could only do that by registering and who wants the hassle of that. There’s nothing to stop anybody using a different name every time. I am Osama Bin Laden but you wouldn’t know if I hadn’t told you.
I concede the point. When I first noticed this site it grabbed my attention but I think it is just a aberration guido had a chance to build on is scoop and as failed miserably he could have made an effort and built on it now it is just a few people ranting on without any political thought.
could have guidos secret serious blogger cupboard , invitation only !!
Anon. 121. And the remaining 1% of the population just hate you.
You prove my point about this blog. Now I can go to bed knowing that there is people so fucked up we will always have corruption whatever the party.
Sod off, Scarface.
funny old time , if gordon had put a general election forward he would have solved his and the parties problem , cant really argue much with letting the voter decide , he could get off scottfree and dissappear into farming or ruining other countries finaces .
its just weird , we know that debt is going up and unemployment , but cant see many problems , except pets being rescued as they cant afford to keep them has gone up.
i just keep wondering post june 4th how labour will decompose , cant see how he solves it now , if hes hoping local elections will be a sort of blood letting and he can say hes taking labour on new course , that is just risky , imagine if economy tanks in unexpected ways , voters will never forgive labour , food deflation looks a bit artificial , petrol at £1 litre . hes borrowed enough to create an illusion , but if growth stats are unfounded borrowing will just get sucked up into problem .
does anyone in labour honestly think they are going to be in a better voter position by may 2010 ???
Old time funny, indeed. The problem is for Gordon to solve the election and this would let the voter decide to argue. He could free the scot, farm-out disappearance and finance other countries’ ruin.
Weird it is just – unemployment is upping the debt, problems many can’t see, as affording pets going up can’t be rescued.
I decompose how to rescue wondering about Labour, and solving can’t see he how: letting local blood at election is a hope for a new course – risky that is: imagine tanks in the economy: Labour will never forgive the voters, and artificial food will be deflated, litres at petrol pounds, an illusion has been borrowed to create an enough -
stats will unfound borrowing and just suck up the problem.
In May 2010 does any voter think Labour will be in a position better?
Clearer now much.
You ran that through google translate into German then back again, didn’t you?
hands too much on time ??

Let’s hope it happens !!!!! Harman has about has much voter appeal with the wider public as rancid chip fat!!
Jesus H the thought of being Governed by that hatchet faced, soul-less, right-on, box ticking old harpie…..
this post shows it is in fact Hazel-nut Blears who can’t get the message across – even though her department paid tens of thousands for the report of that very name:
http://bentsocietyblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/failure-to-get-message-across-who-hazel.html
im nuts about hazel
im a west ham supporter – how about that. and my in house magazine for the mp’s, a post i craved as much cock, is called total politics
i wonder what the firm have to say about the mighty queen of sw1 when they see me getting a semi watching the hammers
did i mention i am a born again christian. i am waiting for the rapture and i support that thick fucking retard nadine dorries in her quest to claim that foetuses are sentient beings. she saw a termination once and now she is convinced this qualifies her above and beyond any medical opinion – she was a nurse once you know
did i mention that despite her corrupt rantings, i do rather have a soft spot for hazel. what a magnanimous fatty i am
hazel voted with the party to close down maternity units nationally some yrs ago and then stood with staff at hope hospital salford, for she is trailer grade A salfords finest, campaigning to keep its unit. nay, not a whiff of hypocrisy
this is the word of a lord and i am conceit
here endeth the lesson
I have important friends at WHU. Semi-hard? You should be at full stretch most of the time.
“He was conservative on abortion and libertarian on immigration, with Chicago school economic ideals. ”
Total twat, then. Good riddance.
Yeah, Austrian school economics is what it’s all about!
Miss Lash wot u doing for diner tonight? Mmmmm
Gettingabsolutelybored so off to shout abuse at poor people and smelly kids enjoying their day’s holiday and eating cheap burgers.

More immigration and fewer abortions? No thanks.
