Gordon Has His Own Powder Puff

Make UpThe Sun has got hold of  Gordon’s fashion tips.  According to a leaked typed guide sheet for the Prime Mentalist, his personal routine is;

1. Transparent Brush. Foam all over.

2. Small pot under eyes, dimple, creases, blend in.

3. Clinique. Super balanced make-up. All over again, like painting a wall, and ears. Shut eyes over lids then with make-up pad smooth over liquid.

4. Powder (dark brush) terracotta Guerlain, all over.

The mystery of  how Gordon ended up with a big orange blob on his forehead is solved…

      “You are odd, Father Gordon,” the young man said,
      ”And your party is in disarray;
      And now your delusions have gone to your head –
      Do you think you should call it a day?”

      “In my youth,” the Prime Minister said in reply,
      “My integrity mattered a lot;
      But, now that it’s obviously gone by-the-by,
      Depart? I shall certainly not!”

      “You are odd,” said the youth, “as I mentioned before,
      And widely considered a twat;
      Yet you seem to be planning to stay a year more -
      Pray, how do you justify that?”

      “Notwithstanding” said Brown “my late father’s advice,
      My ethics have always been *supple*.
      And now all my scruples are yours for a price –
      Allow me to sell you a couple.”

      “You are odd,” said the man, “and too clever by half,
      And you give yourself socialist airs;
      Yet you smash telephones and you bully at your staff -
      What causes this state of affairs?”

      “I have answered two questions, and that is enough”
      Said the PM with angry display.
      ”You are merely a voter: do I give a stuff?
      I’ll have Jacquie Smith lock you away!”

        In his now legendary U-Tube video, Gordon was not only plastered with orange makeup, but his hair was tinted, as well as being washed and combed (how strange he must have felt!). But when he next appeared in public his hair was back to its usual grey greasy rope. It shows just how much store he set by what turned out to be a disastrous intervention.

    I’m told by a very reliable source that its usuall Sue Nye that applies it.

    But Gordo gets very impatient (quelle surprise) and often does it himself…

      Dr Feelgood says:

      Elton made his packet years ago and now has a very conventional showbiz life (sort of 21st Century Tarby).

      The pompous Marcus Brigstocke, Mark Steel and Jeremy Hardy are still spouting their left-wing, oh-so-right-on humour at license payers expense every week on R4.

      They are talented and funny people, but where is the plurality of viewpoint? Typical of the mono-cultural worldview that dominates the BBC.

      • 83
        Dawn Primarolo's Moustache says:

        Oh Doctor you are so right. The news quiz on R4 is formulaic. I am sure it is compulsory for the words Tory and Toff to be mentioned and of course there has to be at least one sneeringly rude reference to a member of the royal family. Then there is “inbreeding in Norfolk” which is good for a laugh but strangely enough no mention of real inbreeding in Bradford. Hmmm.. I wonder why not?

        “Ben” Elton also writes what he calls “books” or “novels”.

        These are the male equivalent of chick-lit and are equally unreadable.

        Perhaps his next blockbuster will find his “humour” and terrific insight focussed on the New Labour project – a sort of Decline and Fall for the near-literate.

        A Detuned television, one that can only be used as a monitor, attached to a DVD player or detuned video recorder does not need a license fee as it cannot receive so called free to air television channels.

        Don’t forget that Eddie Izzard started off on the Bog Brush Tour with Type 2 Fat Bastard from Hull. So what bloody island has he been living on for the last 12 years? “Am I a man? Am I a poofta?” The twathead is allegedly one of the four or five people in the country who actually LIKE giving most of what they earn to a demented bully from Scotland. There was another of them on Question Time a few weeks back, but I’ve no idea who he was. They haven’t the guts, or the humour, to invite Sir Michael Caine onto the programme.

        At least the Lizzard has some talent, unlike that preprogrammed, motormouthed bore Mr Elton. While we’re at it, let’s stuff Jeremy Hardy’s head up the Son of the Manse’s arse-hole, followed by Mr Brigstocke. One shit at a time. One shit at a time.

        At risk of being dramatic, Guido, I think you have done this country a great service.

        What I love best is the irony that, despite spending loadsa(our)money on a Sturmbahnfeuhrer (sp?) for Digital Engagement, they try to exploit t’internet to carry their propaganda and completely f*ck it up. Then they get f*cked themselves because they lack understanding. What they do not understand is truth.

        They also do not understand that Brown is a genuine idiot – he is just an academically gifted idiot – and there are no shortages of them in British academe!

      • 91
        jgm2 says:

        I think, like Brown’s self-proclaimed economic brilliance, that his academic brilliance is likewise pure self-proclaimed bullshit. Any old arse can get a PhD. It’s just another three year attendance certificate agreeing with your PhD supervisor and doing their donkey work.

        If you believe the bullshit put out by the Palestinians then they are the most educated people on the planet. they boast the highest percentage of PhDs in the world apparently. Too bad they’re all PhDs in Islamic Studies. Now if they were getting PhDs in enginnering or physics or maths or something parctical and useful then the Israelis might start to get worried.

        Same with a PhD in ‘History of the Scottish Labour Party’. Who fucking cares? What fucking use is that?

        It’s not exactly as challenging as integrating the wave equation in spherical polar co-ordinates is it? It’s not exactly as tricky as designing algorithms to filter time series in F-K domain. It’s not going to revolutionise vaccination of the masses.

        It is a PhD in gob-shitery. Any old arse could write such a dull tract after three years of researching even duller tracts.

        It is another of the great lies of this political age that Brown is a genius. The man is an idiot. If he has any spark of genius at all it is entirely directed to ruthless self-promotion. His achievements outside bigging up himself are zero. Zip. Zilch.

        His sole notable achievement has been to have comprehensively destroyed the UK economy. And as Dan Hannan said (and I’m para-phrasing), not content with destroying it he seems to be wandering around the rubble with a fucking lump hammer and pounding the pieces to dust.

        And that is only possible because 400 Labour MPs were so busy building up their own property portfolio that they took their eye off the lessons of the last property boom and bust.

        Incompetent, cowardly criminals. Each and every one of them.

        jgm2 @91. I agree with you about bullshit PhDs. There are too many of them around and let me tell you, more and more are coming out of the UK, thanks to the serious politicisation of many of your university departments run by leftist placemen.

        I took my Ph.D in the Netherlands and now lead a major research project for the CDC with a top Ivy league University in the US (among other work I do related to Counter-Terrorism and Piracy). During my Ph.D ‘oddessy’ my supervisory board and I fought some pretty monumental battles, one member was even fired!

        During our fieldwork and data gathering, we came under artillery bombardment twice, endured the murder of one of our data gathering assistants and a colleague beaten up at a military checkpoint.

        So yes, you are right many Ph.D theses including the McMentalist’s are totally useless – but please don’t write the science ones off! (well, unless NuLabia via “Environmental Science” continue to spread the counter-enlightenment).

        Well, mines in engineering – several points…

        It’s based around education for engineering, so my research grants were cut as soon as Labour came to power. The associated research projects were all cut. I continued on regardless paying for the research out of private savings, and building up a mountain in debt which I’m paying off.

        My research department was closed when the last PhD’s were finished, mergered with maths.

        Not all PhD’s are Mickey Mouse. Some like mine are real! To the point, I did the work, and had to explain to my supervisor what my research was about etc. All my supervisor could do was make sure I kept going, and a guide on writing the final thesis/experimentation.

        Advanced Engineering in Britain is practically a joke, if anyone bothered to look, s/he would notice there practically isn’t any. Manufacturing computers is not the same as research and development in robotics/mechatronics/multi-agent systems.

        Our education system is a joke, the original project to network the schools together was sold out to a Labour sponsor to provide computers to the schools for huge profits. The schools may have computers but the technology advance is stale!

    The livid discolouration on Brown’s forehead is said to have been caused by the banging of his head on the blast-proof walls of his wine-cellar, and the headbutting of underlings that cause him even a moment’s displeasure.

    On more than one occasion, when underlings had tried to step back out of range of the halitosis and hoarse flecks of spit, Brown has been seen to seize their ears and smash into their faces with his forehead, an action for which there was no need to apologize since casual brutality can be shown to be a flaw in the New Labour system, rather than the fault of any individual in particular.

  26. 33
    Pissed off voter says:

    A Brief recap of where we are now.

    Brown has a cabinet the majority of whom are on the fiddle. No resignations, no sackings, no prosecutions. Brown effectively condones their actions.

    Cameron has his own set of fiddlers. No resignations, no sackings, no prosecutions. Cameron spouts noble words, end of. Looks like Brown got one thing right – a do-nothing tory camp.

    Clegg has yet to present his views. Has he got the moral fibre to act ‘in the public interest’? Will he show leadership where the other two have bottled it? Interesting times.

    • 172
      The big D says:

      I agree.

      Labour want to create a new private expenses function. Make it outside the freedom of information act and then its back to the trough. That will fix the nasty general public for saying unkind things.

      Conservative: We know this is not quite right and think this maybe bad for the publics perception of politicians.

      No sh*t Sherlock. The tory answer is akin to someone standing in Hiroshima in August 1945, pointing at the B29 and saying “That looks like it may cause a little disturbance”.

      I am not looking for some modern day rerun of the Monty Python “Four Yorkshiremen” sketch. The politicians do not have to bid against each other to see who can be toughest on expenses and the causes of expenses.

      What they have to do is acknowledge the error of what has happened, create a new regime that mirrors the public experience and provide a timetable for implementation that has weeks as the longest time measurement.

      Opinion poll over the weekend had Labour on 23%. Their lowest ratings since opinion polls began.

      What I want to know is whao are these 23%. That’s still one in four (ish). I could understand if it was one in ten because one in ten people are probably functional imbeciles.

      One further point though. That 23% poll was conducted before the expense gouging news became widely circulated.

      Now I don’t partiularly want David Cameron as PM but compared to Gordon Brown I would accept Harold Shipman as PM. What I want is for Labour to be rewarded with third place in the GE. I want the Guardian and The Mirror to turn on them and advise theri readers to vote Lib Dem. I want the vicious traitors who, through a combination of self-serving idiocy and cowardice allowed such a fucking financial abomination to destroy our economy to disappear into the fucking history books.

      Let Gordon Brown’s epitaph be not that he was the most incompetent chancellor and PM in UK history nor that he had a PhD in Labour History but he was the fucking architect of making Labour into history.

      That’ll be what it will take to cheer me up having lived through over a decade of the Labour terror.

        The 23% are the people employed by the government since 1997 who have figured out they need greedy, rapacious, short-sighted twats of the highest order in power in order to keep their pay cheques.

        By the way, I saw a report that says average wages declined approx. 5.7%. The make up was : private sector down 7%ish, the public sector UP 3%ish. Doubtless the private sector will have to pay higher taxes to fund higher public sector wages. O, and cover their public sector, unfunded, pension schemes.

        Every corrupt and incompetent regime has these types of hangers on – and aside from the deluded genetically Labour-supporting old-style working class types – are all that Labour has left to support them. They think they are being clever by supporting a clique that they perceive will look after their personal interests, while protesting that they are serving society.
