Day 2, Fightback Number 8
Yesterday saw the beginning of another fightback for Gordon with him trying to get hold of the media narrative with a keynote speech on education. Sky News covered Joanna Lumley speaking to a select committee in preference. Prescott helpfully intervened – supportively pulling a face which he described as his impression of Gordon’s smile. Guido wondered if it was in fact the face that Tracey saw at climax. On Sky Breakfast this morning Eamonn Holmes and his guest (some kind of media adviser) were openly laughing at the Prime Mentalist. Gordon’s twattishness is the only think we have to keep us smiling…
John Prescott resembles the Predator, without his facemask.
Nahhh it’s a bad impression of Les Dawson
Cosmo…er….Smallpiece.
Prescott is Les Dawson’s doppelganger.
With a dash of Bernard Manning’s thuggishness.
In line with Cyclops’s crappy new wheeze for taking attention from his own trough-snufflers’ expense claims, I think Prezza should be required to register his second job as Corrie’s Jack Duckworth
Nah It’s like my arse on a Saturday Morning, after Friday nights chicken vindaloo.
John Prescott in the throes of ecstacy
(I feel sick now)
“…the face that Tracey saw at climax”? She should be so lucky. That would suggest there was something that Prescott was competent at. And not exactly consistent with her reference to chipolatas.
Prescott makes his face look even more like an anus so to curry favor with lord Fondlebottom.
So do bloody I ! Thanks very much!
NEVER See#80 Like throwing up a sausage up an alleyway !!
Seeing that gurn of Prescott with a mic reminds me…..
Jools Holland last night – guest: Booker T, of green onions fame did that song – now the drummer – tell me that wasn’t Peter Hain…if you didn’t see it, watch it Friday.
Given the mentalists recent antics, pressa with a mic and hain on drums – it seems when they leave office we are going to get a new band…oh, christ.
A new band? They’ll hold on so long that by the time they can be prised out of office they’ll end up being called Gerry Atrick and his Pacemaker…
Prescott is trying to demonstrate, using his lips as an example, just how tight Tracy’s fanny was!
GB must now really be desperate if he’s relying on the jumped up little bar steward to dig him out of his latest hole. We’re moving into pure music hall farce while the country sinks ever deeper into the shit, and our so-called government is quickly becoming a laughing stock, seemingly incapable of doing anything other than prolonging it’s own seedy, sordid existence to the bitter end!
Apparently JP was a very good bar steward. However , his career since is proof positive of the Peter Principle.
Ref #226 What is the Peter Principle? ? I am terribly uneducated. (Peter obviously went to a better school than I did)
Memo from one gurning cretin to another: Gordo, Yoof-Toob on you were grate, keep up the work good.
YouTube if you want to, the lady is NOT for gurning…
If you havn’t already sign the petition its over 50,000 and Im itching to get my new job…
ID card scheme to launch in Manchester
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090506/tuk-id-card-scheme-to-launch-in-manchest-dba1618.html
So that’s where swine flu started.
Looks like the Predator behaves like Les Dawson (and he’s been dead for years..).
Do we really deserve ‘leaders’ like this sorry shower of shite?
i feel sorry for paulin having to look at johns O-face, its gross!
#312! I married for best or worst and guess wot I got worst
Prescott always reminds me of that fat bloke in hi-de-hi. the so-called comedian. As Soames is reported to have said to him in the HoC bar : ‘I’ll have a gin and tonic, waiter’. I don’t think I’d want Prescott to even touch my glass, let alone serve me. The fat ugly, pugilistic, incoherent twat.
caption competition on Prescott
“JABBA THE HUTT DOES PREDATOR”
Prescott is doing a wonderful impersonation of a typical Westminster swine.
Prescott’s vinegar strokes – you sick fucking twat; that image is gonna take some shifting.
‘Oh yeah Tracy, give it to us, ooh yeah, that’s it – flick me scabby bell end, that’s it, lick the mayonaisse off me ball sack, hand me that pie. Oh, i’ve cum – now fuck off’.
Great, and you compound the issue (no pun intended).
This is on the level of the “…like a Bonobo tugging in a cage!” remark about Richard Timney
Dick are those references from Oscar Wilde?
That never happen’d at home
I thought he looked like a twat, but there again he always looks like a twat, especially with that landing strip hairstyle.
Well at least the party logo is more accurate.
And how apt as they press on with the ID card trial launch in Manchester.
They are awesome in their ineptitude.
“The British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA) has warned the Government to think again about forcing pilots to hold the new National Identity Card”.
I wonder if the young under secretary at the Home Office tasked with rolling out the new ID card system didn’t fully understand what a ‘pilot’ scheme was.
I hate talking the Human Rights Act with a vengeance, but it seems to me that forcing people like pilots and Airport workers to have ID cards is contrary to said Human Rights. More so when others are not so compelled.
Oooops…I meant to say…’I hate the Human Rights Act……………………’
Well, that’s our punishment for rejecting road charging. My money says we Mancunians will be giving the two-fingered salute to ID cards as well.
The official News Organisattion of ZanuNuLab has now withdrawn the picture of the Leader with his election winning logo. The new logo will be announced after Britain leads the way to liberating more Countries. These people will welcome us as liberators.
Do you mean this one? Britain’s Failure
Well his speech yesterday was ambushed by angry parents and bored students who walked out as he was speaking so that wasn’t a great start to his fight back. What’s he speaking on today? Anyone know – I’ll have to go and find out just as soon as I’ve done the school run. Morning folks.
It was also ambushed by the BBC who asked why his speech said British Education when Westminster could only affect England
What was the turds reply?
Did they actually say that?! That’s classic but you don’t expect such incisiveness from the BBC!
I think their stories about the 10th anniversary of devolution reminded them. Was also mentioned in the Balls interview about Social Services. Apparently that’s England only as well.
Contrast David Cameron’s speech at Monseaton High School in North Tyneside yesterday, my two daughters were educated there. Went down quite well, the kids listened politely and gave him a round of applause.
North Tyneside used to be a Labour bastion, but eventually came to it’s senses and went Conservative.
Prescott can’t fucking speak. His face moves, and random sounds that resemble words emerge, but it’s not “speech” in the way that other humans understand it.
I pieman the am.

Africa very is country a big.
Heres a really nice example of Browns contempt of the Citizens of the UK….keep it in mind when you look at his U TUBE Effort…

How original Brown…did you think that up in one of your High Intellect Moments….A Council Chairman in some little hick town in the USA is that good Brown plagerises him….
C’mon Guido; you haven’t ruled yourself definitively out of speculation; are there any circumstances in which you would challenge GB for leadership?
I think we should be told where you stand …
I’m in a right pickle and, as a supporting IFA to the ARCH cru fund range, acting on behalf of my clients, call upon ARCH, Capita and the Financial Services Authority not to liquidate underlying assets held within the ARCH cru portfolios at a time when all asset classes are significantly undervalued in the current economic climate. Such a “fire sale” would damage irretrievably investor expectations. The majority of my clients allocated assets for the medium to long term and demand a solution that allows the underlying assets to be realised at their best possible value over time.
At least until we can get a Conservative government in when we can quietly try to bury the mess.
Sorry to all those widows and orphans, but that’s life and death.
You are not Eric Pickles and you appear to want to liquidate assets when they are significantly undervalued; you are therefore Gordon Brown and I claim my £5. Seriously Gord, nothing better to do today?
The Mail on Sunday reported that the realisable value of the holdings is likely to be 20p in the pound.
So Max your 5 pounds probably is now worth 1 pound, or less.
Whatever it’s worth I’ve not had it yet and I won’t if you sell up. Alternatively, Gord, if you’re happy with this scenario any chance of me buying your nice flat in town, say, with around 80% knocked off; or are you keeping that for now?
#Eric Pickles Look I only live 32 miles from the House of Shame and I refuse to get on a train at 10.30 from Liverpool Street station to Billericy with a load of plebs returning from work in keeping London running! That’s why I need a peid de terre near to nice restaurant’s in the West End.
Swastika flag in background copletely inappropriate for a website that I presume aims to understand, debate and improve politics and policy, and have fun about politicians in a gentlemanly way.
I would like to know the reaction of advertisers.
In my book, one can not afford many of these mistakes.
Calm down dear its only a logo
Its the new campaign slogan ” Arbeit macht frei” which will be the hard sell.
But since we’re all going to have to work til we’re 70 (for the moment ) it beats the alternative of “20 years hard Labour” or “Labour til you drop”
As our kids will be £20,000 in debt by the time they are born they’ve got a bit of hard work to do while in the womb.
idiot, that flag was on the school wall were brown was boring everyone
What Gordon imprudently chose to stand in front of is his business. What he stands for is of rather more interest to me.
Not a mistake – the Swastika was really there, numpty. That’s the point of the picture – another HoonBroon media management cock-up, posing in front of a Swastika.
Spin Doctor Kevin Maguire says “we should remember the swastika is an old hindu symbol of good luck, this is all part of our big society, and anyone who says this is a fuck-up must obviously be a racist and is in need of diversity counselling.”
Today’s photo will feature a the confederate flag and Gordon shaking hands with a man in a white hood
Brilliant.
And Guido – thanks for the Tracey remark – I had to bleach my mind after that one.
The hindu symbol for good luck is THE OTHER WAY ROUND. THE ARMS TURN LEFT, NOT RIGHT. Another statement from the bleeding ignorant Toilets Maguire. If he had a brain, he’d be dangerous.
Is there some kind of sport going on now to get Gordon to appear in embarrassing photo and video shots to get retaliation for the printer and nokia ducking?
I’m not shaking hands with that idiot
Idiot, look at this:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8033388.stm
OMG, I hear you cry into your muesli, surely the BBC wouldn’t lie about The Great Saviour Of The Universe?
I’m guessing the BBC are more concerned about the Stars of David given their consistent anti-Israel stance.
And no, I don’t want to discuss the Middle East before anyone starts…
What’s with him using a Biro?
I thought that he could only use Crackerjack pencils?
“you can’t cut your way out of recession, you have to grow your way out of it”
surely, he meant to say “borrow your way out of it” ??
Dr Feelgood
I’m not usually one to support the BBC but perhaps they have an “anti Islrael stance” because Israel is in the wrong over their treatment of the palestinians whose land they have grabbed illegally. You wouldn’t carp if they had an “anti war criminal stance” or an “anti racism stance” would you?
I’m going to be the first to say it. you’re a Hoon. This is the key picture of Gordon’s visit, and it’s across the MSM political spectrum. This is exactly what media advisors are supposed to avoid, Someone blundered, didn’t they? It was even all over Pravda news last night. the Beeb even covered the demonstration by angry parents last night, ‘tho they drew the line at reporting that pupils were walking out of Gordon’s photo op. An anti-govt demo in the Peoples’ Republic of Lewisham, where even the stray cats vote Labour (by post, early and often)?
Labour are finished, kaput, gone, blown away, destroyed, terminated, living dead, fcuked.
To quote a cannier politician than Gordon, they haven’t gone away yet, you know. They are going to have to be dragged out, kicking and screaming, clinging on with their bitten finger nails to the last gasp.
When is he going to sack his “visual gaffe manager”? Surely her salary is a waste of taxpayers’ money?
He’ll chuck her camera at her – an action now known as the PM’s P45.
Dear me Postal Vote you should know better than to try and sneak in satire here.
Fawkes is not guilty on that one.
The swastika photo was taken in a school yesterday as Obergruppenfuhrer Braun relaunched himself:
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45737000/jpg/_45737580_brown226getty.jpg
ok, apologies to Guido.
I should have first asked who put that background there, how it came about; I jumped to conclusions.
my (weak) excuse is that I need to pretend to do some work while in the office and don’t watch all the tele and read all the sites/papers in my free time and that I don’t live in the UK.
Please be assured that I’m not McBride or any other labour hack in disguise
In postal votes defence it looks so bloody stupid and obvious you would think it was planted!
Please be assured that I’m not McBride or any other labour hack in disguise
The apology and reasonable spelling confirm that.
It makes you think was it not a ex-Labour minister (Oswald Mosley) who formed the british union of fascists! Be afraid very, very afraid, is this the way the government is going.
“…have fun about politicians in a gentlemanly way”. Who said that? How dare you. Not here, mate.
I’m assuming it’s a Postal Vote because it would be to embarrasing to have to have someone to explain what the pictures mean and how to write an X in public
Is it only fight back number 8?
Seems like he’s been fighting back ever since he was not elected to the job!
Is Brown going to Cape Cod this summer to read some more of those famous economics textbooks?
He’s going for the eye candy.
And to get a ride from the donkeys.
Here’s another “fightback” snap from Yesterday,
Britain’s future
OMG look at his hair, he needs to use that shampoo Bernard Manning invented, – Wash and Fuck Off. (With apologies)
Could photoshop “ail” over the “ut” but I can’t be arsed. Can someone else do the honours?

What’s he doing? Putting his eye back in?
Problem is, as he can hardly see, he probably didn’t notice the swatikas himself
And I expect the staff have given it all up as a hopeless job
Yesterday, it was reported that Brown was busy striving to save the nation from Swine Flu, at the same time that senior scientists were reporting that the porcine ailment was less serious than common or garden influenza. UK patients are treated at home with aspirin!
Were there presentiments of duplicity that the alert might have detected? Yes. We were told that an emergency hotline was to be opened, but would not go on stream until “the autumn.”
By which time Brown will be saving us from some new global calamity – the economy, ‘terror’, the Black Death – in a word, every sort of catastrophic hazard to our island but the danger of New Labour itself.
As one who has opted out from unsolicited junk mail I trust postie will NOT be sending me Gordon’s Pig Flu advice on how to use a handkerchief.
But doesn’t Godorn use a finger, mouth and tie to dispose of his nasal mucus?
Things are serious….swine flu is resistant to Lemsip scientists report.
Plans are already underway to save Britain from exposure to the plague of flu. Since it all started in America we are going to block all air travel to and from the USA, thus also gaining millions of Carbon Trust points for the UK. The only exceptions will be David Miliband’s new Gulfstream and my own RAF personal jet, which I just nicked off The Queen. Secondly all schools will be shut down, thus saving our education system. Thirdly all hospitals will be shut down, thus saving the cost of treatment since we all know that no virus can be cured anyway. Finally there will be no elections since we just can’t take the chance of people infecting each other.
You missed out closing down parliament, but as they would still want their expenses it wouldn’t be much of a saving.
When will Gordon be declared “Lord Protector”?
The plan is to delay the epidemic until the Autumn in the hopes that it will enable Brown to cancel the election under Emergency Powers Legislation.
Anyone actually had one of these Flu leaflets? We were told about them last week and it has been a daily feature on one “news” bulletin or another (last night on ITV news at 10) yet I know of no one who has had one.
I suspect the printers wanted the invoice paying upfront and the Treasury are struggling until some cheques clear later this week.
McBroon could always just send them the masters for printing off their own £20 notes of course; bet he’s not thought of that one. Yet.
They are probably being printed in China!
Got mine – 10 pages – chucked it in the recycling!
Who’s the fat, scruffy Hoon next to John Prescott?
I see they are insisting on pushing ahead with the ID card scheme. That should help them
How many Gurkhas could be resettled with that total waste of money? How many hospitals could be freed of HAI if some of that money paid for dedicated ward cleaning staff under the supervision of the ward Sister? How many elderly patients who cannot feed themselves could recieve help at mealtimes through that money instead of slowly starving to death? Bastards, all of them.
The pic of Prezza is the logo for Britain under NuLab.
Her Majesty’s former Deputy Prime Minister. God help us. No wonder Britain is the laughing stock of the world nowdays.
Your papers please!
The one eyed, lying, bullying, inadeqaute, spendaholic Scotch mental looks so natural posing with the emblem of the National Socialist party.
If McDoom’s time as what is supposed to be PM mirrors that of John Major, he must be having an affair with a member of the Government.
Is it Nick Brown?
Is it possible that Brown, with his monocular vision, sees himself in a messianic role, a saviour of Britain and the World, rather the diabolic persona whom all but a disadvantaged few now perceive behind the hideous smirking mask?
We need not doubt that Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot all thought of themselves as decent, well-motivated men, so the fact that many New Labour apparatchiki appear to believe that what they do is for the common good is no proof that it is.
The individual with messianic delusions can become dangerous when contradicted.
Look, yunno, what I think we’ve all got to realise here is that Gordon knows full well that I am the Messiah. He’s a sort of crap Pope.
Tone. Now you’ve got that old time religion, you should compare Snottie with St John of the Cross. He was as wierd as Gordo.
Look. I had a long and varied career as a Trainee Priest, Bank Robber, part-time anarcho-syndicalist, communist (Marxist-Leninist (well, I had to be really)) revolutionary, torturer, genocidal maniac, mass-murderer, and paranoid, psychopathic tyrant – I did what I had to do; there was non of this self-delusionary crap like that moron Brown

As a on-UK National, why is Senor Guido not included on oor Young Jacquie’s 22-Hate-List
??? Is our Prime Minister-in-Waiting suggesting that Monsieur Guido is too respectable to be included on such a Schedule of Anti-Soviet unDesirables & Americans
If yes, isn’t that defamatory – surely Guido should be taking Legal Action to Protest the blackening (or is it whitening) of his Character
The two ugliest men in British politics today.
Not an ounce of breeding.
Mongrels at least tend to have more character if not intelligence despite their tendency toward ugliness. These two have nothing to offer with “mine’s a gin and tonic” hardly able to communicate in his mother tongue he is so uneducated.
Bring back “gorgeous” George Robertson. He’d push them into second and third spot.
Quite out of the question. Someone might start wondering why zanu labour had to pass a special law to have the official report into the Dunblane business redacted for 100 years. For example.
The usual 70 year secrecy rule ensures that adult parties involved in a murky business are likely to be dead. 100 years implies there were minors who might subsequently read about themselves if the secret was sealed only for 70 years. But there is no point in trying to hold to account someone who is dead. The inference must be that there were minors involved who might be held to account, minors who have some responsibility, whether through collusion or coersion or conspiracy.
Not sure about the breeding bit. That kind of ugliness takes generations to perfect.
Funny how Brown looks so natural with that swastika behind him, mind you at least Hitler had an election before he destroyed Germany, not to mention half of Europe!
Then again he also made everyone carry ID cards, employed unsavoury bullies to do his dirty work and threw things around when he didn’t get his own way! Remind you of anyone? Just think, last week ‘Broon the incompetent’ was at Auschwitz, and this week he finds himself surrounded by swastikas, you couldn’t make this up! If this is not the sure sign of doomed dead man walking loser then I’m a nun!
Sister, could you sort this Clarney toothache out for me please?
The Times is running a moderated blog piece on who should play Brown in a movie (which I suppose would be called “Britain’s Downfall”). Due to a complete lack of imagination I went for the rather obvious Bruno Ganz, but is there anyone else who could play McMental?
Brown would like Rupert Everett to play him in the movie of his life.
I would think Lon Chaney would do a better job.
Prescott ( see photo above )
Though the script would have to be mono-syllabic
Kathy Bates (remember Misery?)
Keanu Reeves as Gordon “Neo” Brown, the number One who will save humanity using his super-powers in the internet youtube.

A hoon and a buffoon. Surely even the Labour party can come up with something better than this pair.
Dave’s victory will be rather hollow if they don’t at least put up a fight.
Is the MSM now playing it for all it’s 1984 value?
The education message has certainly been drowned by the howls of laughter
An excellent day for Der Fuehrer as our Prime Mentalist is affectionately called in Team GB.
Tomorrow, poxy opinion polls will be banned in the public interest.
You don’t get our inspired Go-Balls Master Plan, do you, Guido?
Britain never had it, so good
Looks as though someone’s just punched the fat slugger in the guts.
“some kind of media adviser” was laughing at him?
Well yes, some kind of media adviser told him to go on youtube and told him to try to smile. Disaster.
I remember a few years ago, it might have been IDS, on radio4 laughing like a buffoon for no apparent reason on the today programme. the interviewer didnt ask the most relevant question “which media arse told you to act like that”.
The problem is that Brown’s inner circle of advisers has been infiltrated by his enemies within the Cabinet.

Prezza has no class. He used to bodger Tracey Temple against the doorpost at Dorneywood still wearing his shoes, socks, jacket and tie. When he had shot his bolt he pulled on his kecks and his trousers and toddled off for a game of croquet. I know. They showed it in a docu-drama. And she’s no better than she ought to be neither the common little trollop.
You bar steward, Guido, that picture of Prescott looking like Fellatio Hornblower sucking a golf ball through a garden hose will haunt my nightmares. I will bill you for the 5 years of mind-bleach therapy I now need to undergo.
We can recommend a therapist called Draper, though he may end up profiting from your eventual mental state
I think Prescott was misquoted, far more likely would be “I’ve worked with Gordon for a long time and it’s awful”
The Swastika is right; attempts to control free speech have rebounded in the Times today. See this quote:
An American “shock jock” said last night that he was planning legal action against the Government after discovering that he had been on a list of 16 people banned from entering Britain since October.
Michael Savage, who hosts the “Savage Nation” radio show, told the San Francisco Chronicle that he had been defamed and endangered by the decision made by Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary…
Oh well the border controls are working then? Dr Death in, political comment out! And asking High Street Chemists to take in data for ID cards? So they can lose that as well? Swivel Eyed Balls is leading to Looter Smith!
Ah but Guido, don’t forget Brown’s not-so-secret weapon – the bastards at the BBC. Did you hear the Today prog this morning? A quite staggeringly partisan report from their home affairs’s parasite, Rory Maclean, putting the case for ID cards directly as per the govt handbook. Only cost five billion, all the money has been spent,. the public want them, not a mention fo the vast cost of actually scanning people, not a fucking sniff of a mention of that vast logistical invenstment, not a fucking mention of how they WON’T WORK… Humphreys responds to that by saying to the tories, well, you wont’ save any money by cancelling it will you,a nd it’s voluntary….
Go listen again, 8.10 this morning. I expect NO2ID are going to be hitting the beeb on this one – monstrous distortion fo the facts, totally blatant government propaganda.
Fucking BBC. Utter scum.
I think ID cards are great, I’m going to get two.
i heard that frank. it might as well been jacui spliff doing the talking. as if anyone believes the govt figures anyway
I think if you apply under that name you probably will get 2
Sorry sir, they only retail in packs of three, however if you can bundle then we can do them by the pallet and export to your country of choice.

And if they do have to photo their faces, will male coppers be allowed to view them?
They will be exempt on religeous grounds.
Don’t they do it from behind?
Just say
No.
A word the spin-city BBC and the Labour government aren’t used to at all.
Spot on. It was out and out propaganda.
Only cost £5 billion?
Remember the good old days when they were only going to cost £200 million?
That would have been the year that Microsoft released Office 2007.
So what would it cost when it would be finally introduced?
Remember, the cost estimate doesn’t include a few things you’d have thought might be necessary, like machines to read the bloody cards. As of February this year there were no card readers anywhere in the country. Not one.
Didn’t someone (the LSE??) do an independent estimate of the final cost, some time ago, and put it at £19 billion?
If it acts like a Babhoon and looks like a Babhoon then throw it a babana its ok its all within the rules.
After showing Broon’s latest YouTube gurning to camera in the Labour Party’s election broadcast, John Craig on Sky News last night announced that the Prime Mentalist will be releasing yet another YouTube video later this week.
The man is utterly self-delusional. He really thinks he’s good at it.
… I’m losing the will to live …
… I’m going to have to lie down ….
…nurse…?
Even the Beeb joins the party now: so it’s lèse-majesté all the way for Brown.
Given that the EU wants him to stay the full course, to avoid us holding a referendum, I fancy he must endure many more months of this humiliation.
Prescott vs. Predator Competition.
Probably it was (the face).
But don’t forget – orgasm CAN be painful, – delightfully so.
But in the case of that plonker?
It’s me ‘oomun roits, innit, ‘n that.
An’ the system.
An’ all us top dogs in the party have dachas and Zils. Coz we’s worf it.
So shurrup!
Oooooh I love it when you talk socialist you dirty cow
Yeeees – I agreee. Comrade Beloved Leader is right.
Was that . . . OK?
Remember the Tornado pilots being interviewed on Iraqi television?
Looks to me like Prescott is trying to imitate a cnut. As he is one, he is doing a pretty job.
I’ve never seen a lady’s salty part, – but surely lipstick would be an improvement?
Believe me, the lady’s part in question has considerably more allure than Prescott’s face.
What’s with the word ‘imitate’? He’s the finished article…ignore all others.
How much more of this lunacy are we expected to tolerate?
We are about to bestowed with more you tube shit from Brown

It’s all in the name. If she’d been called Green, her office and both her homes would have been raided, the OGPU would have arrested her and threatened her with life, and the Two-Homes secretary would be wittering on about due process.

House prices down again. This time by a huge -1.7% month on month according to the Halifax. Down 17.7% year on year.
Pathetic Brown was pinning his hopes on a pick up in the housing market. No chance! This baby’s got another 40% or more to fall yet.
http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=113481
Anyone who buys a house now must be a complete and utter cretin. Why buy something when it’s going to be miles cheaper in 6 months and even cheaper in a year?
Besides, who wants a mortgage round their neck for the rest of their life?
er – will the BBC be reporting this?
I thought not.
Buying a house is dead money. You might aswell burn your cash. The UK housing market was the biggest house price bubble in the world apart from Irelands. Prices still have a hell of a lot further to fall.
Pack in the Daily Mail shite about the UK property market. Just because a bunch of lower middle class turds thought they could make some easy money being skinned alive in the BtL market in some shithole cities don’t start extrapolating to the rest of the country.
They just did (radio 2 news).
tit.
You listen to the news on Radio 2? twat

Or another one?
No I generally listen to radio2 for other reasons. Like traffic.
Hate traffic
Pick of the Pops is OK; as is Sounds of the Seventies.
Eamonn Holmes and guests were really ripping the piss out of Loonie Brown and his deranged grin on the SKy paper review this morning.
Brown is an international laughing stock and the worst prime minister in British history.
Why isnt the Queen doing anything about this? SHE SHOULD!
She wrote to Joanna Lumley – what more do you want?
mitch – I’m not talking about Gurkhas. I’m talking about Gordon Brown. Doesnt the Queen have the power to intervene?
Not any more. Labour Constitutional “Reform”. Now we’re in, nobody shall get us out.
If it hadn’t been for Oliver Cromwell I’d have had that one eyed Scottish wanker’s head off long ago.
The Labour SpinHoons have also started their very own Online Petition Against Dave.
As you might expect, its total crap, and completely misses the point – they want us all to sign up to help make Dave answer the question “Austerity for who?”.
Genius, eh? No, pathetic
I wonder if they will delete all the dodgy names off it.
There ought to be a petition demanding that the Government hold their spending review in July – they’ve cancelled it, presumably because they don’t want us to know how bad things really are.
It really beggars belief that thy are demanding answers from Dave and crew who have a handful of advisors, when NuLab won’t hold the annual spending review when they have the whole of the civil service to call upon.
They really must think that voters are a bunch of retards if they think that this strategy holds up to any sort of scrutiny.
had a quick look at the petition signing page… this line at the very bottom had me shivering…
“The Labour Party and its elected representatives may use the data you have supplied”
what, the same kind of elected as Snotty McHoon???
fuck that
signed as Mr Rock Enhorse
I like the line at the bottom: “The Labour Party and its elected representatives may use the data you have supplied”
I guess that means Brown can’t use it, then.
Must be written by an ex-comprehensive pupil – can’t even get it right gramatically!
It’s “WHOM” you hoon!
Another day, another fightback. It’s all about Labour politics and trying to hold on to power and nothing whatsoever to do with running the country properly, repairing the economy, controlling immigration, reducing crime (Remember – tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime), improving education (remember – ed-jerk-ayshun, ed-jerk-ayshun, ed-jerk-ayshun). Labour is all about presentation (ie lies), drawing expenses that were never incurred in the furtherance of the work done, and clinging on to power and its privileges. The people can rot, unless they are foreigners who will vote for them in which case they are welcomed with open arms. What action has been talken about the thief, Baroness Uddin who, in effect, stole money from taxpayers? Nothing so far and it seems now that it is being hushed up. Probably to avoid others who have done the same being found out. What about the Parliamentary Ombudsman’s report into the collapse of Equitable Life? She said that it was a regulatory failure and the government had to recompense those who lost money. Naturally, her findings were reejcted. Investors in Barlow Clowes were repaid, by taxpayers, because of regulatory failures. The difference is that Equitable Life policy holders are mainly middle class professionals, such as lawyers, accountants, doctors, surgeons etc and of course, they are all loaded and can afford to lose their pensions. And naturally, they all vote Conservative so Labour will lose no votes by not paying out. Labour is corrupt to its very core and it always has been.
The polls are now showing that UKIP could come ahead of Labour nationally in the European Elections. If this happens then it really will be the end for Brown.
So you know what to do Guys and Gals.
(And if you still need convincing take the time to watch these short clips:
Kenneth Clarke goes off message:
And Dave goes berserk (contains strong language):
UKIP are a joke. You’re finished.
UKIP are a joke. What does that make parties who finish behind them?
A self-defecating joke?
A vote for UKIP or the B-N-P in the Euro elections would be payback for the referendum we were promised.
Springtime for Gordon
And he looks SO happy.
The moment he was born for.
The smiling faces, the cheering masses, the bands and the parades, the torchlight processions and the long rambling speeches to the assembled faithful – he can see it all in his imagination.
Just a pity he was born sixty years too late and in the wrong country.
But he can look on the bright side – he did manage to fuck up Britain.
Dont be dumb be a smarty
Lets all fuck the Labour party
ID cards… yes, we all know that Germany has them too.. but considering the background in Gordon’s picture.. is it really something we should be thinking of doing? Especially since they were conceived of in a time of plenty. Now we are in a deep recession, the money to create a scheme simply isn’t there. It’s now in the pockets of the bank managers, and they aren’t going to give it back.
Prescott’s facial expression fits my feelings over the matter. Hopefully, MP’s opposed to the scheme will grow bolder in the run up to a general election in demanding that ID cards are scrapped. There are alternatives, after all, passports being but one.
Heil Brown!
see 104 at 63 above
Thanks. (132)
I prefer 23 and 54. With a double portion of 69, please.
the only think?
what is the opposite of fiscal drag?
Brown’s revenue strategy is in reverse
drag fiscal ?
I suppose when even Prescott feels conforatbale enough to take the piss, things must be really bad.
We’re a’watchin’ yew!!
I’ve never seen one either.
It’s the economy, stupid, and the screwed-up, debt-soaked, UK economy is falling over a cliff, as another asset bubble bursts spectacularly:
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Business/House-Prices-Fell-During-April-By-17-Says-Halifax-Building-Society/Article/200905115276106?lpos=Business_Carousel_Region_3&lid=ARTICLE_15276106_House_Prices_Fell_During_April_By_1.7%25_Says_Halifax_Building_Society
Rising house prices, based on unsustainable debt, acted as cash machines for millions of numpties to spend, spend, spend.
This was the basis for Brown’s economic growth. Debt-based consumer spending, largely on imported goods.
Now the housing market has collapsed, the illusion of prosperity has gone.
The UK is heading for trouble.
BIG trouble.
The Uk has been heading for disaster on this score for many years – successive Govts have turned us into a nation of property sepculators, by encouraging us to see our homes as cash cows and collateral for debt, instead of as HOMES.
This has been greatly exacerbated by the volatility of stocks and shares, due to bankers and stockbrokers becoming addicted to gambling. The lack of any checks and balances on this speculation has in turn made people even more determined to put their money into property
- a vicious circle which was always destined to see wealth vanish down the plughole
Ot’s also massivley widened the gap betweent he haves and the have nots, though a tide of repossessions will soon put that right! Not quite what the sheeple voted for…
Prescott does look like a demented wanking congolese Bonobo in that photo.
Anybody know if chimps are also prone to bulimia and croquet?
Chimps are intelligent, far better looking than that thick neothandrel (spelin!!) and supposed to be choosy who they date (shag)
When a couple of days after a binge the bricks and mortar hit the water
I turn face the pot and seem to see the gurning face of Gordon.
I would need a bigger pot to see Prescott.
Just a thought – I wanted to get in touch with “shock jock” Michael Savage and wish him luck with his court case.
If I send him an email, I presume that Jackboot’s database will log the fact that I am communicating with an undesirable. Same with a telephone call. I could be locked up & interrogated without trial as a terrorist.
I anyone believes that Britain is a free country, I suggest you seek help and fast.
“Smith explained to Britain’s GMTV that she believed it was “important that people understand the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here, the fact that it’s a privilege to come and the sort of things that mean you won’t be welcome in this country.”
“Coming to this country is a privilege,” she said. “If you can’t live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what’s more, now we will make public those people that we have excluded.”
Sounds like a nanny, looks like a nanny. Smith’s values and standards are those of the oppressive East German government circa 1960 and have destroyed freedom of speech. If she has a problem with fermenting hatred she should put herself on that list because her inane speeches certainly make us all hate her.
If you can’t live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by…”
Mr Savage, if you’re reading this, you need to adopt British values – like getting taxpayers to fund your bathplugs & porn. Then you’d be a decent enough person to let in. That’s where you were going wrong!
There is always snail mail, do’nt think they are opening that up at the moment.
err a limited bathplug range is still available but Nanny need not apply.
Prescott is the glaring example of someone promoted ridiculously beyond their abilities.
Perhaps he connected well with “traditional” labour voters (whoever they are ?) but he was an utter and total embarrassment as Deputy PM and a complete failure as a minister.
He should never have been anything more than a journeyman backbencher.
He is also a complete hypocrite. “Man of the people”? Rubbish.
Yes, but yunno. He made me look good.
Why cant Bono and Chris Martin stage a BBC aired concert to save Brown?
Richard Curtice could write a play for the BBC to put on in primetime telling us what a nice man Gordon is really.
This isn’t just a house price crash. This is the biggest house price crash in history:

I am 15 years old and pregnant but my parents don’t know.
They haven’t met my boyfriend,Linford,who is 20 years older than me.
He deals drugs,carries a gun,has several children from different girlfriends,is just out of prison,lives in a squat and films animal porn.
My problem is how do i tell my parents he’s a Labour party supporter!
Yes indeed – your parents can cope with all of the above – but telling them he’s a Labour supporter will just finish them off! You’re doomed!!!
You could tell them that really he is very generous and selfless. He is working to keep the pigs at the trough.
Oh love, that’s so sad but your parents will understand when you tell them he eats his own snot.
Brown back on Youtube, but instead of turning off comments they have now worked out how to moderate them
http://tinyurl.com/cbhmr6
You can leave a comment, but the chance of it appearing…….ha. Have a look at the current comments.
That’s free speech, Brown-style.
Joe Stalin would be proud of him.
Ratings are disabled. They just cant handle the truth can they?
CryBaby,
Stop moaning, the Conservatives are going to get another good kicking in the general election.
At least they’re used to it.
I would say the pro Brown comments on the You Tube site are being left by No 10 propagandists or Dame Mandelson – you can just tell tell the way they are written.
I think nulabour have a ‘style guide’ and they all follow it!
Just more lies and spin. How long are they going to get away with all this deception?? It makes me sick!
Lardy,
Just sort yourself out.
No one knows what the Conservatives are going to do.
Least of all themselves, they’re completely out of their depth, because of the financial meltdown created by the spiv mentality propogated by Conservative free market claptrap.
There are real issues to be dealt with and numpties like Carry on Cameron and Frogspawn Wall Paper Glue don’t stand a chance in trying to figure out what to do.
As for style no one could accuse you of having any, that’s for sure.
The country needs leadership, not a pair of clueless airheads like Carry on Cameron and Frogspawn. They will be blown away in to the recesses of history, just like Major, Hague, Duncan-Smith and Hecht/Howard.
Tried to leave a comment – but half an hour later I still can’t see it!
Thanks to Gordon Brown we may all be forced to carry on working until we are seventy, or until we die, whichever comes sooner:

> we may all be
No, not all. Just taxpayers. Tax eating hoons in government sinecures and other parts of the client state will all still ‘retire’ at 60, i.e. do their web surfing and trolling at home, rather than at ‘work’.
I’m in a right pickle and, as a supporting IFA to the ARCH cru fund range, acting on behalf of my clients, call upon ARCH, Capita and the Financial Services Authority not to liquidate underlying assets held within the ARCH cru portfolios at a time when all asset classes are significantly undervalued in the current economic climate. Such a “fire sale” would damage irretrievably investor expectations. The majority of my clients allocated assets for the medium to long term and demand a solution that allows the underlying assets to be realised at their best possible value over time.
At least until we can get a Conservative government in when we can quietly try to bury the mess.
Sorry to all those widows and orphans, but that’s life and death.
Is that you Mr McBride?
I thought Gordon had sacked you?
how do they keep digging this stuff up?
Can’t be. He’d never use autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity. More like Gordoised auto-aggressive unconditional homoskedasticity (the Mandy model).
Oi “Eric”! What’s the point of me replying to you up there somewhere when you’re off again repeating yourself down here?
Stand still so I can aim properly.
The lesson all the widows and orphans will have to take from this is don’t invest in things noone understands like ‘alternative assets’.
Plenty of commission for those who sold this CF ARCH cru fund bag of manure though.
Again sorry, but no we won’t return any commission to the invesotrs who are getting fried, tough luck.
Ah-ha, so that was your point! These financial products and investment thingies (that are sold on street corners presumably to the great unwashed and widows and orphans, gawd bless them every one) are all the fault of the tories like Pickles.
Well “Eric” I agree with you in part ie people should not invest, without taking professional advice, in things that they do not understand. However how many people actually fully understand what really happens when they deposit their money in a bank or building society for example?
Now we don’t want the whole of the UK to stop saving and rely entirely upon the State to provide in all circumstances, effectively giving over control of all privately held assets to a totalitarian big government, do we?
Ok, well maybe you do but this concept has no good track record and has not really taken off so let’s ignore it for now.
So current reality is that The Great McBroon foresaw the claw-like grip of the nasty tory financial advisers on this country and so he created and put in their midst the glorious FSA who regulate the product creators and purveyors with exemplary vigour.
And lo doth commission still flow and doth the great unwashed unwittingly purchase the tory wares and much sadness still hangs over these lands etc.
So, are you criticising the Dear Leader’s beloved FSA again or are you saying these nasty tory financial advisers have found a way around the FSA rules? If it is the latter then go forth unto the FSA website and tell them.
That would be this website: FSA and not Guido’s one; unless you have more to tell of course.
The FSA didn’t get the commission, I did.
I advised the widows and orphans.
They’re getting fried.
I’m keeping my commission.
If the banks falter the taxpayer bails them out.
It’s all very simple.
I know you are not “Eric” so you didn’t get the commission either; the FSA would not get the commission would they, you do understand about the FSA don’t you?
The widows and orphans and people being “fried” I think is a bit overdone; there are sometimes widows and orphans out there but not quite in the romantic way you paint it.
If an adviser has acted against the FSA regulations they will be forfeiting their commission and much more besides.
And the bank bail out is your Dear Leader’s idea and not mine. I agree that this is all fairly simple but it is a simplicity unfortunately that you have not grasped.
Try another premise eg that the tories would eat your babies or something.
Oh and for bedtime reading check out what happened to the Equitable Life policyholders (widows’n'orphans too) after it was proven that the failure of their investments was in part the fault of the (then) regulator and thus that the government should make compensation payments. What does McBroon say to that? I think it was “no” and “we can’t afford it”. Sure you can’t, too busy pumping money into the banks and building more houses.
Unlike anyone else, I have to get to work on time so need to have my home a few miles away on expenses.
Picles – another pig trougher.
People are literally begging Five Bellies for ID Cards. Everywhere she goes (according to her) they shout “Where do WE SIGN?” in a mass Elmer Fudd impressionfest.
Introduction by stealth:-
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090506/tuk-id-card-scheme-to-launch-in-manchest-dba1618.html
The “voluntary” system is designed to coerce people. The New Labour run quangos and corporate stooges will ensure that you have to have an ID card in order to drive, park, shop, etc.
Despicable. Fight it.
“Where do we sign”
I think you will find they are in fact shouting:
“f***in’ resign”
Does anyone think that people in Manchester will actually fork out £60 for a “Voluntary ID Card Pilot Scheme” ?
Depends how ‘voluntary’ ID scheme becomes… if you need it to by certain things like fags and booze etc.. might become a neccessity… stealth…
They will when they cant get tamiflu this winter unless you prove your id.
Well could the 2HomeSecretary insist on an ID for purchasing bathplugs, that would help us struggling on the High Street.
[...] these are actually genuine, no photoshopping here, see the Guido Fawkes website for more details here) add fuel to the [...]
Presumably Jacqui Smith is so keen to rush ahead with the ID cards now in case she is mistaken for a member of the criminal class.
god take about driving yourself to the political slaughterhouse.
You miss the point.
Even the halfwits that vote labour know shes a dead woman walking. Bruin didn’t sack her immediately as he knew she’d be useful as the fall girl for ID cards – strapping a bomb to a zombie, if you like.
Sorry to go off piste but just heard that there is a god – CEO of Serco, they who make speed cameras, pleads guilty to driving at 100mph on dual carriageway. YESSSSSSS!!!!!
Good. Classic case of what goes around….
All you Tories out there – stop panicking: Labour is on 32% vote share in Wales (down from 54% in 2003) and on the same decline in Scotland – so don’t blame us if Gordon sneaks back in; you will need to point the finger at the Scousers, Mancunians and Geordies mucking in your own nest.
Even Gordon must eventually understand he is stuffed when his new disaster prevention cabal (Lard Meddlesome et al) tell him that folk are supporting Prescott’s views on Brown, surely?
It is still the case that the Celtic fringe support Liebour in much greater percentages than England, although I agree with your comments about parts of Northern England.Why is that? Is it some perverted sense of trying to get back at “the English” for stuffing their mouths with gold?
Nah! They’re on the payroll
Silly me! I should have realised
Current Scottish GE voting intention would see Labour loosing 20+ seats to the SNP giving the SNP the majority of 50 odd Scottish MPs sent to Westmonster. (just remind me of the size of the Labour majority at Westmonster?)
The majority of Scots now want an end to Barnet with full fiscal responsibility (including all tax income) for Scotland to be held by Holyrood. Now the question remains is why is Westmonster so against this move as it gets rid of the Scottish subsidy at a stroke, the whinging of Tory Middle England about scrounging Scots and forces us daft Scots to live within our means like a grown up nation.
It is whispered that Westmonster does not like this because the Scots would be even better off per head of population than Barnet gives us.
So Grytpype-thinn you and the deadly Moriarty will have to seek another cunning plan as the batter puddings have gone cold on you this time. Mayhap you should have another go at stealing Napoleon’s piano…..
Count Jim Moriarty and I are respectable businessmen who can make your fortune.
There is now a strong prima facie case that New Labour is a criminal organisation as defined in the Nuremberg Principles 1950.
Now that is interesting!!!!!
Do tell….
There’s a pathetic attempt at a petition on the Liebour website:
http://www.labour.org.uk/austerity_for_who
Some people might be tempted to sign up using a false, innuendo-laden name and someone else’s email address, such as “mail@derekdraper.net”. But not me. I wouldn’t stoop that low.
I wonder if anyone on here has ever had a job that it had soon become obvious they were useless at? Everyone there knew they were useless, the customers knew they were useless. Every morning in the bathroom was a retching session, trying to summon up the nerve to go in again, hoping there would be a fire at the firm, or an earthquake, anything.
Gordon: What you normally do in a situation like that is leave and find something you can do.
Yep, had one like that, managing a call centre, hiring and firing, spying on people, applying targets.
Just couldn’t do it , and walked out.
Bit like Gordon’s job actually.
“Arbeit macht frei” was adopted in 1928 by the Weimar government as a slogan extolling the effects of their desired policy of large-scale public works programmes to end unemployment, and mocking the Medieval slogan “Stadtluft macht frei” (“City air brings freedom”). It was continued in this usage by the NSDAP (Nazi Party) when it came to power in 1933.
hmmmm………. there is something strangely familiar………”desired policy of large-scale public works programmes to end unemployment”
Ein volk, ein reich.
Ein Gordon? How truly terrible!
I sometimes worry that there will never again be a general election.
You’ve forgotten to finish it – “EinVolk;Ein Reich;Ein Twat!”

This is really a poster for Leni Riefenstahl’s new schlockbuster ‘The Triumph of the Won’t’ featuring Schitz der Pitz and Chipz ‘Wurst’ Gitz !
The only thing that I can find wrong with Gordon’s pose is that the background Logo really ought to be the Hammer and sickle rather than the swastika.
Having said that being two sides of the same coin the caps still fits!
An elderly friend’s Bother used to work with Prescott on the Liners.Everyone hated his guts,apparently.
Bin liners ?
Yep and they still do
What I don’t get is where are the old Tories? You know – the “death penalty” “pull up the immigration drawbridge” bunch. If they were still around, I’d be voting for them.
Dave looks suspiciously like a repackaged Blair to me.
Still we may not even get to choose. They got their vote rigging practice in Glenrothes, so the General election shouldn’t be too much of a step up
We really need to get rid of FPTP – it’s brought nothing but heartache.
PR would bring the misery of perpetual coalition government and deals done in what used to be smoke filled rooms
It would neuter the government. That would be a good thing!
Governments are always taking it into their heads to remake the world. If they just tried to maintain the status quo, things would run a lot smoother.
I read an article about the early 1920s financial crisis. It was extremely short in the United States because it occurred under the watch of essentially impotent governments who couldn’t do anything about it. With their hands off the tiller, the ship righted itself a lot faster.
Coalition governments would have a lot less scope for meddling.
Actually, it would make us like Italy, an average of a government a year since WW2, currently headed by Berlusconi!
300 and the Italians bless their bellisima pasta are a happy lot.
I used to live in Italy. They have a very localised system there – each ancient ‘city state’ manages its own affairs, inc environment, maintenance of the roads, you name it. They raise their own local taxes and spend them as they see fit – and according to their manifesto. Tehre’s a bit of graft, but most people learn to deal with that
The Italians therefore take almost no notice whatever of the National Govt since it has very little power to affect their lives. It’s a great system.
Why is Italy such a joke then?
Heffer in the Torygraph (or Liebourgraph) – whatever – is not a fan of Brown;
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/simonheffer/5279998/Labour-must-stop-worrying-about-their-silly-little-party-and-put-Britain-first.html
and even less of a fan of those in NuLab who are putting party before Country by coming on the TV and radio to support Brown when it is well understood that they detest the man.
An interesting and challenging thought – where should MP’s loyalties lie – with the electorate or with their party?
They sould always be with the electorate, first and foremost.
us, the electorate vote for THEM not the party.. hence defections dont require an election…
the fuckers should be listening to us, not their party…
There are three and a half million members of the National Trust. There are probably only c100,000 paid up members of the Labour Party, if that. Party members are freaks – totally unrepresentative of the public at large
Of course the MPs’ loyalty should be to their constituents. Only a small proportion of the people who voted them in would be members of the party they stood for – and they represent the Constituency in Parliament, not the party, which they can leave at any time (ie cross the floor).
Sadly the methods by which potential MPs are chosen have become ever more geared to selecting people who can’t and/or won’t think for themselves. Herein lies the root of most of our problems: how can people who are chosen for their slavish loyalty to party possibly represent all their constituents fairly, or do their main job of holding the Govt of the day to account?
What a right pair of ugly bastards .. you wouldn’t even want ‘em on the mantelpiece as Toby Jugs …
Oi!!

Well, who’d want someone who can’t even keep tabs on their own bike as prime minister? Having said that, I understand Brown can’t ride a bike. When Mandy asked him years ago ‘Fancy a ride Gordy?’ Brown answered ‘C*nt.’
Re: Baroness Uddin:
s171 of the Housing Act 1996 makes it an offence to withold information which can affect a housing application or to give false information about a housing application. Should this affair now be in the hands of the police and if not, why not?
Where’s the taxpayer’s teat? I feel like sucking some more.
Government peers and MPs have immunity from prosecution under the “2001 You can’t do a thing about it Act”.
I thought it was common knowledge.
The fact that this has not already been referred to the Police is outrageous.
If it had been a Tory peer though, just imagine the beeboids reaction to that
At the simplest of all levels, Brown should just have sacked her anyway, and not waited for the Police, CPS or Parlaimentary authorities to review and report. The fact he hasn’t just makes him weaker and more useless. Next thing you know, he’ll tell us it’s a “private matter”, even if the useless Baroness has casually lifted over £100,000 of our money and occupied a social housing flat on a false basis. If Brown can’t even do this he should get out of No.10 this afternoon.

Nick Robinson’s doing his bit for the Brown fightback.
Going on about those nasty tories and their proposed spending cuts, ignoring the fact that we have more public debt now than the last 300 years put together, and saying that labour’s line of “it’s all fine, don’t worry it’ll all come out in the wash; we’ll just carry on as we are” will be an electoral winner.
Is that 300 year figure accurate? Bleedin ‘ell!

I used to like publishing stories of general interest on my little site. Stuff I found newsworthy and thought other people might like to read.
However, I find myself having to publish more and more stories about the sleaze and crap coming from Gordon Brown, Derek Draper, Mcfool, Balls, Milli-vanilipeed, ID cards, etc, etc.
Our country is going to hell, dragged down by Brown and his cohorts. (Or is that cohurts?)

I suggest putting photos of Prescott’s face on all gym speedballs. The nation would be a lot fitter and he’d be some fookin use at last!
That’s a Brown clone and I claim my £5.
Or it’s been photoshopped and I claim £10.
I bet Prescott gives a good blow job. Mandy should know.
I just left a comment on a blog which was entitled What to do with Labour List.I said shut the damn thing down and read order-order.com.
The bar steward gets a kick in the bollocks from Pauline while Tracey licks her off.
Brown needs to come to terms with the fact that he is absolutely useless on video, will he never learn! as for comebacks, was he ever anywhere in the first place?
“Labour: A warning from History”
Slightly off topic but quite how Eamonn Holmes has the gall to laugh at anyone for being a ridiculous grinning idiot is beyond me!!
I second that notion!

The things some people will do to get themselves noticed, Prescott “pulling faces”. Until a few days ago we had all forgotten about him, out of sight out of mind. If Labour need someone like Prescott to boost their poll ratings you really have to wonder at their sanity.
Was’nt Prescott’s rubbery snout-like facial contortion a symptom of swine ‘flu in its final, incurable, stages?
“Day 2, Fightback Number 8″
So how many will that be by next May? It’s gonna be a long drawn out tedious fucking year.
prescot telling everyone he likes a bit of brown.
The face that launched a thousand ships!
Is that Gordon launching the new liebour party motiff in this pic?? Very apt on the day they begin to force the ID card on us ! “,
“Papers Shau me zee papers, sneill !”
I still can’t help being bemused at the decision to stage a set-peice for gordon in front of a nazi flag. I know Labour are worried about the BNP nicking all their votes – but they didn’t have to go to these lengths.
Anyone notice the Swastika in the background, revealing or what? OOps I guess some people did and I thought I was hallucinating.
