Self Censorship at The Times
This is deliciously amusing. Guido’s Wapping co-conspirator is laughing and asking
Why has a regular Times T2 columnist had a piece called ‘How Not To Spend It’, which was due to be published today, pulled by The Times. The reason? Might be sensitive, given MPs spending habits. The columnist?
Could it be that the columnist is Sarah Vine? Also known as Mrs Gove…
















Well, fancy that!
That fancy well.
Fancy that well!
That well fancy.
Fancy well that.
Well that fancy.
For readers wondering why the Speaker is so keen on keeping expenses hidden, perhaps something I wrote on Saturday may shed some light on it.
“The property at 3 Parliament Street used by Malcolm Jack, the Clerk, the Commons chief executive, received a top-of-the range makeover, with a £39,000 kitchen, bespoke furniture, including a “butler’s tray”, and granite work surfaces. The same inventory also lists two Ionic columns costing £963…

That well fancy = catty when fall
Fat Tally Wench
Goving hoons!
Is this Gordon’s suicide note?
His official spokespuppet has dropped him right in it.
well, well, well; here they are, the torydalekspastics trying to take the sting out of the theft from public funds committed by the fraudster Mr Gove MP by cracking humourless asides at the top of the thread.
you fucking whores.
c’unts like you are not welcome here.
fuck off to conservativefoam spastics.
thankyou.
Retarded as Fuck,
I think most rational people (i.e. everyone except you) would prefer that it’s you that fucks off.
fuck off whore.
I am sure if Guido did not want me to stay he would have banned me by now.
he must think I add something to this place to allow such a vulgar juvenile delinquent as myself to hang around, eh?
you’re just a fucking waste of space you c’unt.
no one would care if you were not here you bore.
thick as a brick is really that. what a prick- I await a contribution from him that approaches intelligence. As defined for a stupid socialist that is. must be paid for the crap he spews.
As an american would say: you MF
bobmorris,
never heard of you bob, you’re a nobody.
bye bye tory troll.
oh, but before you go, you do realise you have just exposed yourself as a whore?
not that bright, are you bob?
you fucking spastic, now get back in your box.
thankyou.
Nip over to my place, TaT. I really would enjoy tearing you yet another arsehole.
T(w)AT you are to Hoonishness what Gordon Brown is to politics. You are a Twat of the very highest order. Forget the Order of the Garter, you are a Hoon with a garter attached somewhere close by. You have the IQ of Willets after having his head stoved in with a brick and the social grace of John Prescott. In truth you should weighted with heavy stones, have rope tied to your feet and be used to dredge moats free of charge.
And do I give a fuck if you know who I am? I fucking doubt it. Now do me a favour and fuck off. This isn’t just your little chalk board to scribble on.
Come on guys, a moat needs dredging. Twats. Guido, please push that we activists, from all parties, are the biggest losers and most shafted in all this. Me, an Oldrightie is now seeing Dennis Skinner in a new light. Please push a post that celebrates the grass roots, whilst justfiably hanging this greedy scum.
Mrs Moran wants to spend more time with her family.
Can anyone help her?
I want to hear about Balls/Coopers expenses
NOW or I’ll shcream & shcream
Just wait until the weekend…
Yes more about Copper Balls, please!
Me too. And how about more on Gorbals Mick too?
I’ll fuckin dee ya, ya fuckin sassanach
Tomorrow’s Telegraph is Tory backbenchers and apparently they are some of the most amusing claims yet.
By all means bring on these Balls claims but did the Telegraph hint that they were some of the worst already ?
I’m not entirely sure why people think the Balls/Cooper expenses will be so stunning otherwise ? Are they up to their neck in property wheezes ? Just curious TBH as there are an awful lot of people here who seem cast iron certain their expenses are some of the most explosive.
Though it wouldn’t surprise me if it did turn out to be the case though as Balls always did look very shifty.
Michael Martin MUST now resign the speakership.
Rarely has anyone looked so hopelessly incompetent, arrogant and utterly out of touch as he did today in the Commons.
He is an absolute disgrace.
“Michael Martin MUST now resign the speakership.”
Agreed. But there’s as much chance of that as a premier league footballer sawing off their legs. He’ll trough until he’s dragged kicking and screaming.
Watching that Scottish peasant was cringemaking.
He is probably one of the most stupid, hopeless, bigotted, chippy, common little peasants I have ever seen in a public office. How pathetic – he could hardly read the script – too complicated – too many words.
Actually I think he ought to stay to remind all of us about this era. He should be put in a cage at the entrance to the Chamber as a reminder of all that is corrupt, evil, despicable.
What a total cnut
He’s from Springburn actually.
She can fuck off with her family and live happily for ever after, as long as I don’t have to pay for it.
She can fuck off to Tibet, and I shall have men, nutters from Parkhurst, in yeti suits, up Everest, with meat cleavers, ready to chop her tarty fucking legs orf.
er, go easy on the crack.
hold on…… gideon, is that you, you gibbering crackhead c’unt? if so I claim my 5 rocks!
You’re a cunning little kunt, Thicky, I’ll give you that.
But I’ve got no time for grasses.
maybe you should find some time for some grasses or maybe some superskunk.
at the moment you are just an uptight arsehole.
it might help you be less of a tit.
unless it clashes with your other medications ofcourse.
please send all advice to
infor@margaretmoran.org.uk
I come from Luton, which is handy because it rhymes with “futon”.
A Hegley pome, to distract us all from the distressing spectacle of Mr Michael Martin’s nervous breakdown:
There was a young creature from space
Who took part in a three-legged race.
He didn’t quite win –
In fact he didn’t begin –
Because he was a bag of oven-ready chips.
Some advice:
Leave Luton – never come back…
Pay back every penny troughed.
’tis a pity that Bedfordshire police are the most incompetent in Britain! Guess that’s why she thought she could do what she did and get away with it… and brass neck the answer.
I think she got he name mixed up and thought it was Loot-On.
Has she thought of giving up being an MP? Hahahaha – see any flying pigs?
Gove has a Mrs ??
He looks odd..I thought he had loose wrists like so many of them…or perhaps she is “cover”…
Mr. Gove always has the full shampoo, snip and shave. He keeps his beard trim as well.
You are even more subversive than I am…
Silly me…
…. as subversive, sir, but nowhere near as prolific. Good work. Something for the weekend, sir?
you c’unts are on acid, right?
I fucking hope so because if you are not then you are just fucking retards.
where the fuck do you spastics come from?
do you think this is a gay chat up site or some fucking radio 4 comedy programme?
Jesus wept, please fuck off.
Lord give me strength.
bi
Very strange lips
Thought so….so the Mrs is available..?
Must look into this…
Good Bi?
bi bi
oh, more spastics.
hmmmm….. so tory HQ have decided to fuck with Guido’s blog by stuffing it full of trolls posting garbage to avoid the discussion of theft of public funds by tory MPs.
AH! BLOGABUSTING!
you have been caught out.
now fuck off.
TaT – you know what they say about people who use ‘fuck’ as pretty much their only adjective don’t you?
Not only does it make your postings dull and boring and somewhat irritating, but it makes you look uneducated and sadly lacking in any opinions worth spouting.
I don’t think you’ve ever posted anything worth reading, why? Is it because calling people retards and spastics is the limit of your abilities?
Such a waste of time.
Michael hasn’t done anything outside the rules at least, or tried to – unlike some other MPs.
And he genuinely moved his second home for family reasons:
http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/3604396/gove-the-full-story.thtml
They all say that.
That’s what they all say.
All they say is that.
Is that ALL they say?
Did someone type something?
Please fix my shower. Taxpayers should pay for my upkeep.
Yes Dave, everybody’s dead Dave. Dave, they’re dead. Everbody dead is, Dave.
all they say is that = alias ‘thy stealthy’
Heard anything else ?
he can pay for shit like that himself – the rest of us have to. What an arsehole – upper class twit.
Oaten! Are you undercover?
trough mixture,
if you continue to abuse Guido’s hospitality by blogabusting you will be prescribed a fuck off tablet and you will be banned.
do you understand?
My apologies, I’m afraid I don’t. I know of ‘bogabusting’, a Prescottian inconvenience which is dealt with elsewhere upon this most excellent of weblogs.
Pip Pip.
and by the way, fuck off
Are you Guido’s evil twin or something? Do you get to decide who gets banned? No I thought not so fuck off and clean the gene pool.
Is that you Sarah? Shouldn’t you be packing for the move?
No I think you are right.
One move, one new set of furniture, no house sales. Therefore within the rules and in the spirit of the rules.
You could not make it up.
Well actually you could but nobody would believe it….
Oh and Guido get behind Douglas Carswell
http://www.talkcarswell.com/show.aspx?id=698
because in this time when hard working families are suffering from the global recession,its the right thing to do.
Thank you…
not me really
Wondered where the coins were coming from…
Nice one Guido…
So you have co-cospirators in the right sort of places…
He/she can tell you when the D Notices start flying…
and BTW
Any news on Ballslseses injunctions ??
We need to know..There must be a co-conspirator in the High Court somewhere…
A nice bit of Totty to improve the day ?!
Duncan in his garden would please some!
Especially if planted up to his kneck
Or, better still, his neck
Kneck..is that what they call it now ?!
I live and learn…
Dunno. Kneck sounds better.
Gawd…these Tory Knights from the Shires…never understood them ya know…
Complicating my lovely life on the twin-bog in my Tudor mansion…and they don’t even appreciate it…
I knew a man with a kneck once. Sadly his nees were commensurately less functional.
Are there fairies at the bottom of his garden?
I think we should be told
Just Gordon at the bottom of the garden.
Will you be publishing the pulled piece, Guido?
Pull the udder one.
Owwww
Catch her before she absconds to her Bangla beach house
oi..You be a f’cking racist and Muzzlim hater…
You had better take a visit to Luton or one of my strongholds…
That Talibani have nothing on us…we excise all the girls ya know…and keep them at home illiterate…
That’s why they vote NUZANU Labour don’t you understand ??
What big teat you have Baroness…
I beg of you not to send The Duchess of Pulldaudderone here, we have more than enough problems with our annual floods, corruption and crippling poverty.
i’ve just pulled my piece, anyone got a tissue ?
Flippin eck yor right.
Posted this on here yesterday
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6260028.ece
This article in the Times appears under the heading “In quotes: MPs come forward to condemn claims” but with the exceptiion of Kate Hoey all that is condemned is the system. The headline is patently misleading and the Times is taking a very gentle stance in all of this generally – can someone tell me why?
Got a few comments about the admirable Kate Hoey but my real question is why was the Times so disingenuous with it’s headline – read it and you will see the claims are not condemned. This follows a very pro MP leader on Friday. I poined this out and asked them but neeedless to say my comment/question was not published
It’s a DT story.
Gorbals Mick has gone mad.
Just heard him – almost quivering with anger that some MPs have been critical of others four troughing it in public.
Now playing on R4!
He was in a position to stop the abuse of the expenses system, instead of which he overtly encouraged it. A deputation of senior MPs MUST demand that he resigns – he has done nothing but bring the house into disrepute and is shaming his office.
That;’s what’s come of a rabble of immature NuLab types putting him forward in ‘97 and forcing an election for Speaker (agaisnt all custom and practice) just to put two fingers up to the Tories, whose turn it was to take the Chair. And still they won;t get rid of him -uUtterly disgraceful, then and now. He’s the most partisan Speaker for centuries

Back when I was a boy, Confucius, he say, “Speaker with fingers in pudding,
not vote for abolition of plums”.
The ignorant fool must be the thickest and most corrupt MP ever elected to Parliament. If there was any justice he’d suffer the same fate as Oliver Cromwell
That would be; rule the country for a number of years with near-dictatorship powers and die of natural causes.
Unless you mean the posthumous indignities inflicted on Cromwell’s head, being hung to decay outside of Parliament as a warning, only to eventually end up being buried at a Cambridge college.
The first might be a good option, but I doubt whether Mr Martin ever had the ability to get into Cambridge. And I don’t mean to suggest that’s all that special.
Mr Cromwell was treated abysmally considering the good he did. The fate of Charles the First would be the justice to which you allude.
At least Cromwell only flogged the crown jewels, so he could spend the money on worthwhile causes such as massacring the Irish for possessing shillelaghs of mass destruction. Worth a bit less than McBroons bullion sell off, I would think.
I’ve already pointed out that he is from Springburn!
It all started in 10 Downing Street.
drip….. drip….. drip….. drip….. drip….. drip….. drip….. drip….. drip…..
Drowning Street please…
Have to send the Westminster Fire Brigade soon…
They only answer calls once a year – Speaker Martin shop steward rules ya know…
Who told you about my arse problem? Have you seen the proce of butt plugs? Bugger … time for a quick dump before meeting some poor people.
Being neither scientist nor quack, but a well-respected fortune teller, I thought I’d get my balls out, give them a quick polish and see what the future holds for me.
Fuck it, I see I missed out on The Eurobillion jackpot by five numbers – oh, that’s old news. These globes are crap. Interestingly though, I see much death, both political and physical, in the near to middle future.
Rubbing hard as I dare without dropping them, I see two two private jets, publicly paid for, having a coming-together in the air-space over Harare, where Mr. Bob Mugabe is awaiting the arrival of Mr. Bambi Blair and Mr. Gordon (my crystal ball ain’t worth polishing) Brown for a summit on how to further the destruction of hard fought-for wealth and thus save the people from their own miserable and misguided sense of freedom.
These three giants of modern politics die a painful death in this freak accident. All that is left is a pillar-box smile which some high-spirited back-packer attempts to post a card in before the authorities point out that they are the remains of one Cherie Booth.
My balls are fading fast but I feel somewhat happier now. I really only came here to see how much Uncle Squiffy leaves me in his will.
Can we help?
Borrow some buttplugs off Woolarse – and a nappy in case they don’t work.
cant you claim for that dripping tap. it’s been going on too long
That’s not a tap dripping. The drip drip of a syph … (cont’d p. 94)
Injunctions will not help.
No MP will be a credible candidate in the next election unless they have published their expenses in full and are clean.
Even if they have succeeded in backstabbing their way to the Party Leadership, the mantra still applies; “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”
The public will draw its own conclusions if any information is missing from the revelations.
The day of reckoning might be delayed, but it is surely coming.
(Rubs hands.) Ooooohhhh yes!
(Rubs something else.) Ooooohhhh yes!
Have to let it all hang out to ‘av any street cred you know…
And I know what I am talking about…
PS Not standing at the next elec’shon…Gordo has promised me a PEERAGE ya’ know…before Guido blows the fucking place up…
The point is that an MP who is using injunctions to keep his or her expenses out of the public domain is obviously concealing something infinitely worse than has been revealed so far.
That not only rules them out as a General election candidate, it rules them out of a leadership election as well.
Everybody else has been outed. No MP will vote for a leader who has concealed his or her expenses.
Michael Martin attempted to conceal the lot. That should rule him out of his pension, the lump sum payoff and he should be made to repay all that he has merrily grubbed.
The pension pot should be used to pay the ‘expenses troughed’.
Gorbals Mick has gone mad.
Just heard him – almost quivering with anger that some MPs have been critical of others four troughing it in public.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8044411.stm
Be fair, a couple of the words had 3 syllables and he was not able to move his finger along the line.
I notice renewed interest by the BEEB now that there are a few Tories to throw stones at. Intact you have to read the article carefully to learn of Labour involvement.
Perhaps there’ll be an arrest…
Is Gorbals actually able to read? It doesn’t appear so.
arrest of a Tory probably…
Doesn’t matter – the first is the precedent that allows the remainder to be fingered.
Interestingly enough – this gov. put an end to the statute Death Sentence – for Treason and Terrorism. Strangely enough – two charges that could be applied to this government!
Repeat after me: SPRINGBURN SPRINGBURN SPRINGBURN!
Pollocks.
i know how mrs gove sorry Sarah Vine must feel , i have posts pulled often too.
interesting youve caught Alan Duncan out, not a good day for telling further lies really .
i thought it would come to blows on DP as hefty lefty John Mann started on stupid parlimentary procedures line, shame John didnt make more headway in turning his own comrades from the dark side of expenses , clearly they dont listen to him.
mr speaker makes an effminate call for leaks being serious , if only he had spoken out about press briefings on policy before comming to the house .
apparrently the nurses conference were impressed with gordons speech today , “the shows as good as you tube vid ” said one ward sister , oxygen had to be administered , as some nurses had collapsed on the floor with laughter , they particulary like the one “ere did you hear the one about the poly clinic that saved money and improved care , eh honest ive not got any shares “
parrots on the NHS now?
A real problem with investigative journalism in the UK, is that many of those that need investigation have partners/family who are journalists, or are in broadcasting, PR and other spin organisations.
You fink that’s a coincidence…All the Press do is to shag with those tossing MPs…I know all about it..tried them all out myself when I was Vice Deputy Chief Bottle Washer ya know…and I only got caught once…!!
Oooooh, but when your chipolata exploded, Johno. You should have seen your face.
Ah’d like tae know why a Fenian bastard lik mahself wasn’t at the top of the spendin league?
As ex TUC etc, ah deserve all thats comin my way to keep me in the lifestyle ah have become accustomed tae! burp!!!
Go break yer neck. Slowly.
I didn’t know Gorbals Mick came from Tyneside.
Clearly you don’t know a class Glesga accent when you see it ya keech!
This self-destruction of all the mainstream political parties is music to my ears…
Now all we need is for the disgusted and pissed off people of this country to finally realise that THEY are the majority now.
If you are pissed off with all of the above (mainstream parties) and cannot bring yourself to support the racist BNP, or the in-fighting and innefectual UKIP or the communist greens (who are still supporting the ludicrous and disproven lie that is AGW), then YOU are in the majority. YOU have all the political power in the UK now.
Instead of protesting and getting more of the same old corrupt politicians representing their greed, incompetence and corruption at the next election, YOU can vote FOR real change, revolutionary change in voting for a local independent candidate who will represent YOU and YOUR interests in Parliament. Who will support the UK and put OUR interests before selling out even more to an unelected dictatorship in Brussels. A candidate that will put law and order above petty revenue collection, political correctness, health and safety, terrorists rights and box ticking.
A candidate that supports a return to education and respect being taught in our schools instead of indoctrination and lies.
A candidate that will support treating patients in the health service instead of spending billions on greedy-self serving- self replicating middle management and pen pushing.
A candidate that will support British manufacturing and industry and technology and create export led growth based on sound real money of actual value, instead of the fake money debt based stagflation style “growth.”
A candidate who will value and support our Military, instead of abusing them, wrapping them up in politically correct bullshit and using them as the personal mercinaries of their political party to suck up to an extremist in the USA.
We need local independents who have not been corrupted or bought by the corrupt establishment.
We need independents who can put our country back together!
This is not even in the top 50 yet !!
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/GoToCountryNow/
Lets exercise our democratic right and vote to get rid if these shitheads
Come on Guido. Let’s have the facts on Balls n’ Cooper.
As they say in Nu Lab circles: “You know it’s the right thing to do”.
Speaker Martin has some chutzpah:
“Let me put this to you and to every Hon Member in this House – is it the case that an employee of this House should be able to hand over any private data to any organisation of his or her choosing?”
Now let me turn that around:
Let me put this to you Mr Speaker and to every Member of the Labour government – is it the case that an employee of this government should be able to hand over any private data to any organisation of his or her choosing?
Remind me who let plod turnover a NuCon mps office and remove data.it wasna me it happened in America
,,. and a big boy did it then ran away.
The Goves’s pair of elephant lamps are gorgeous, I saw them on telly – I wish I could afford them. I’m on a pension and have to keep selling family stuff to keep the car on the road. Still it’s a comfort to know our taxes are going on such tasteful stuff as Samantha’s mum’s and not on tat form IKEA innit?
OK…Christ…
Can’t believe it….
Tory MP and Times writer wife can’t even afford to but their own ELEPHANT LAMPS ?
They really are cheap little buggers..
But they would go well in Prezza’s Tudor Palace no ?
We have Lava lamps, up here, mate, the real dog’s bollocks in illumination. None of your Tory crap stuff up ‘ere. Ask the good lady wife.
Fuck me, and I can’t even afford a bicycle lamp.
My candle blew out last Thursday and I can’t even afford any matches.
I do Dickie’s candle blowouts from time to time
Candle?? post twat, i cant even afford one of them
I pinched it from a church.
Oh…
I wish that I was rich enough to not be able to afford a candle. I cannot even afford to look at daylight.
I’m going to hell.
Me too. Don’t hurt do it?
My 313 should have posted before my 316. We’re here already, and it hurts like hell.
Corrupt Gorbals Mick just does not get it.The more they fight the worse it will get for them.Carry on Mick – you are entitled to steal from the British Public. You are the new elite and you will be in power for evermore.Keep troughing – you are untouchable.
We will have feed his balls to the Tamil Tigers (excuse the expression) …dont’ worry…
Boris and I are organising things…
Ah shredded all ma expenses last year, ya ken. I’m nae stupid.
Arent the expense claims held by the payments office?
Just an aside. What a coincidence that the McBroons brother is a PR guy and his sis in law is a journo.
His brothers works for EDF…………and you know who is moving into the UK with NUCLEAR…….EDF !!!
His brother worked for the BBC too. And ITN.
Come on Guido. Let’s have the facts on Balls n’ Cooper.
Any pics of Mrs Gove?
Is she totty material?
What would the Times fink if we took their correspondents and put them on TOOTY WATCH here !
I fink Citizen Kane Murdock would do his top dont’ you ?
And Guido would get a call from “Tory HQ” all huffing and puffing…
Good fun really…I will try and find a photo…I am sure she is interesting with that odd husband of hers…
http://www.sipdrink.com/images/times-sarah-vine.jpg
Unfortunately, in a piece titled ‘Self-Preservation’………oops.
Give ‘em the money, Mabel…
(One for the old ones)
Is that you, David?
http://women.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00229/outfits385_229646q.jpg
On the left. She is not in the same league as Jacqui Smith who is the ebst home secretary ever.
Michael Gove is one of the few good guys in Parliament. I’m convinced he’s honest. Shame he’s been dragged into the sleazepit by the Labourgraph.
I agree – it doesn’t look to me that he has done anything like the manipulation with the second home rules of say Alistair Darling, Geoff Hoon and Hazel Blears.
But why does he have to go in for f’ing elephant lamps..
it’s the mentality that gets me…
Cheap skints…
troughing as well..
Their own bloody fault if they are involved
Elephant lamps make the elephant in the room easier to see.
Don’t really care. They are all tarred with the same brush; he knew what was occurring, and stayed quiet. Makes him worse, really, to continue as honestly as he could.
Demeans the job.
Any paper that allows the likes of Caitlin Moran and Libby Purves to witter fruitlessly in its comments page deserves to wither on the vine.
I disagree. Caitlin Moran is very funny, and Libby Purves has been a fount of decent, common-sense commentary for years.
I think you may be a trifle gay, or hopefully stupid.
I don’t agree. Caitlin’s pieces usually raise a smile, and Libby has been dispensing solid common sense to the middle classes for years.
Whoops! Finger trouble.
who the fuck are Caitlin Moran and Libby Purves?
Two soppy tarts. Mouthy with it. Both probably need a night with two sailors and a fugging donkey.
To all staff,
Anyone who types the words Caitlin Moran is very “funny” without italics on the “funny” shall be dragged from their keyboard and summarily shot. And then banned from all UK ports of entry. We don’t need their type here.
Regards,
J Smith.

I like today’s banner ad, Guido; upon a brief glance it looks like a funny little picture and the words “Now She Might Lose Her Home” with a caption underneath where I can just about make out the word “Baroness” I think. Must get some new glasses.
Which Baroness Udders or Thorny tits ?
My esteeeemened colleagues…
Thorny tits…aahhhhhhhh!
gimme her tel no.
Am I allowed to let you know about a motion of no confidence in the speaker, just ever so slightly off subject?
http://www.talkcarswell.com/show.aspx?id=698
go read polly on cif its a real hatchet job on brown. most amusing.
Yes, surprising. The worm has turned, and doesn’t seem even the weeniest bit embarrassed about it. She thought he was the man for the job, but that was yesterday.
….Gordon Brown has been tested and found in want of almost every attribute a leader needs. Squalid dealings by his poisonous inner circle were exposed to the light of day; yet at the same time he lacks a leader’s necessary political cunning. Many hoped that the end of the rivalry with Blair would see Brown cast off his myrmidons. He didn’t. In the tussle between his better and his worse selves, too often the lesser man won….
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/may/11/labour-gordon-brown
The slam of the final nail in Snotty’s political coffin.
Unfortunately, Polly Twaddle wants McRuin replaced by Alan Johnson!
I took my bottle of Cif out of the kitchen cupboard and can’t find anything on it written by Polly Toynbee, though there is a bit about ionic surfactants which might be about Keith Vaz.
Enlightenment, please.
I don’t know much about it but it ruined my pancakes.
Nothing to do with this blog post, but just when I thought Michael Martins couldn’t get any worse, he today abandoned any attempt to look like an imapartial adjudicator and had a go at any MP who questioned the need to bring in the police. Is it in the public interest to have the person who leaked the expense details to the Telegraph arrested? If Michael Martins has abandoned all protocol, so should MPs, they should start criticising him for the arse hole that he is. He is the only man worse than MPs.
Fraser Nelson puts it better than me:
http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/3607291/martin-loses-it.thtml
Whichever way you look at it the speaker is a disgrace.
Defenestrate him from the Speaker’s House directly into Mother Thames…with several bottles of Scottish wine tied around his neck…he who live by the……dies by the……….he wouyld go staright down without a whimper…but be quick I think he has asked his butler for a pistol also..! Hand gun sales booming in Westminster…
And he got rid of the speakers wig. The bastard.
It should have been an ex Tory MP after the brilliant Betty Boothroyd but Blair ignored that and cooked up a cosy little arrangement with Martins.
Martin epitomises everything that is odious and corrupt about this government- Parliament cannot change and rebuild trust with the great British Public until this grasping “I’m here for what I can get” buffoon is gone.
OMG Nell !!
You are soooo polite , hun .
I would of said he woz a fuckin useless , troughin , lower-class , Scotch , corrupt-as-the-day-is-long , fat fuck , ©untin disgrace , not fit-for-purpose , treachorous arsehole of a ©unt .
I ran out of words . Wot a minger .
E x .
Wow Ewanme your French is fascinating ! Evening by the way haven’t see you around for a while.
Oh , hiya Nell x .
I’m always here in spirit , if not in person .
I have a couple of writers wot fill in for me wot I dictate to them from the patio .
Excitin times , n’est pas ??
Bestest E x .
Hope you have a bottle of wine on that patio and a butler to serve it. Oh My! You’re not the MP they are going to ‘out’ tomorrow for claiming for a butler on his/her expenses are you? Personally I think that will be Michael Martin – fits in with his chauffeur to take him to football matches doesn’t it?
It’s getting more like Loose Women around here everyday day FFS.
I hope it’s Mr. Martin , hun . I never liked him or respected him an I’m a fuckin good judge of character .
Attuned E x .
Just been watching Newsnight. Kate Hoey slagged off the speaker and the detestable, populist and annoying (so called) national treasure Stephen Fry in the same sentence. Good for her!
As we now have to turn to Stephen Fry to get his holier than thou views on everything in this country, Newsnight asked him what he thought of the expenses row. He said he thought it was a nonsense as we had all claimed for things we shouldn’t have. What? Speak for yourself you fraudulent prick. Oh, and do me a favour, get off the TV and spare us a populist statement for at least a week will you Stephen?
Or, get the police to arrest him, for his confession!
It just needs to start somewhere.
So where did the freemasons hide the treasure map?
The second greatest adventure history has ever revealed will be solved.
The government’s hand is squeezing the Balls out of the press as well.
GORDON Brown was red-faced again last night after his MAKE-UP tips were left in a taxi by a bungling aide.
Looks like Guido’s “Brown is Bonkers” picture with a clown plastered in heavy make up was more accurate than we had realised.

michael gove is clear and clean,as is william hague and dave.
does anybody have any cleaning jobs?
work is a little thin at westminster at the moment.
Hows the weather in Spain? Or are you with McBride in Ireland?
spain lovely,just cleaning the next door neighbours pool.
To my fellow MPS…
That idiot Gorbals Mick is screwing everything up…
So we must get the last batch of fraudulent claims in quick before they put some damned silly control on our thieving…
Quickly boys troughing coming to an end…
I think they will fire our chum the Clerk and that poofter in the Fees Office who is so accomodating…
Hat tip, Disillusioned MP. We are proceeding to milk the scum for all they are worth before Theftgate takes hold on said plebs.
Jeez, they are SLOW.
Signed, all of us.
sick, but accurate.
Just heard on ITV news that there is a rumour going around that the DT will publish that a tory backbencher claimed for….wait for it…………………a butler, if that is true then at least its a better class of fraud.
now thats fraud you can be proud of :)
No, it was BUTTER, to grease the arse of the butler….
BUTTER ie. goat. Cheaper, in the long run, than charging the tax-payers for Tesco’s semi-skimmed. Plus, the wife and I enjoy a horn each.
Sur he didn’t hire Prezza ?
Toynbee says Brown must go

On the subject of censorship does anyone know who was behind the attempt to silence Janestheone?Some say Martin Salter,others that it was ‘three Tits’[the fellow who wanted to sue Guido last year but didn't have the balls to follow thru on his threat],…any info?

They are all pretty quick in coming forward, saying the system is wrong and should be changed…what a bunch of subhumans!
The system is obviously wrong, but because of that, they think they can in most cases, claim our money to the limits allowed (and in quite a lot of cases exceed it grotesquely).
It’s all very well saying sorry, but *I* am not fucking sorry about the fact we all want these dishonest c’unts to pay every proven dishonest claim for monies back to the treasury.
Fucking thieves, ALL OF THEM, REGARDLESS!
It was clear this morning that David Cameron had instructed his MP’s that they must apologise. In stark contract Labour MP’s have just been sent an email from their PLP Office saying “It would be easy for the public to gain the impression fom the media coverage that MP’s are claiming excessively or outside the rules….which is not the case.” !!!!!!!!! What Planet are they living on ??????
Nell
Collective death wish…happens somtimes…But it is still remarkable …..I agree…
Will we ever get a proper response from these people, Nell?
NO!
What should we do now, Nell?
Well, now we wait for more rhetoric, bullshit, sideswerving non-related statements, I actually hear they need North Korea to explode a Nuclear bomb (a godsend to Gordon and his twat mates, a complete f***ing disaster for the rest of us).
Can I have my tax & contributions back, I need to leave this sh***ole now!!
No don’t do that . You need to stay and fight with the rest of us – Are you going to let them win?
OMG !
Stay an fight hun . Get a cash-in-hand job , or INSIST on cash in hand an don’t pay the scum-suckers . If you can’t rearrange your personal situation to meet these criteria then they’ve got you just where they want you – feeding the waste-machine wot has no purpose but to spend your money on nothing in particular including their lunch an their expenses an their wars blah blah yadder …
Get outta the system , at all costs , and fight them from without x .
Do I make myself clear ???
E x .
No, Nell, or whoever you are.
I, if I could, with the money I have given these successive goverments over the last 40 years, would like to get it back (no less than they have given immigrants over the last same period of time..).
If I could get some of it back, because I have paid a lot in taxes of various kinds, and N.I, which I haver never used, apart from an appendectomy when I was seven, then, and I have worked it out, could be due from the UK treasury somwher in the region of 895,000 sterling. Amazing, isn’t it. This is what I am due, no way will I get it, too many troghers on the loose.
Still there is fun to be had.
When does the dirt on the lib dums come out? Can’t imagine they’re squeaky clean? I’m sure chatshow charlie must have had a direct debit with Famous Grouse and Bells on his expenses claims…
“It’s all over for Brown and Labour. The abyss awaits. As long as he remains leader, there is nothing that wretched Labour candidates can plausibly say on the doorstep at next month’s European elections. They are struck dumb. Why should people vote for them? The horse manure bought on expenses is garnish for a decomposing government.”
polly Toynbee nu lab cheerleader in chief . my poor sides….
The labourgraph lost my 90p a day about 12 months ago. Heffer was to blame. He is a labour 5th columnist you know. A `fat git` as he is known in this house.
Sorry boys
Just seen Sarah Vine on thetimesonline…
With all due respect NOT TOTTY watch material…
Saves Guido from getting embarassed…
She’s a hatchet faced horror who is the going-even-more-downmarket Times’ official make-up correspondent. Her stock in trade is drivelling on about creams and other over-priced snake oils, with frequent silly, girly, swooning over Michelle O – the most influential person in history and omigod aren’t those arms just so perfect, she’s just so wonderful she makes me want to cry.
It’s truly embarrassing stuff for a former Cantab graduate with a proper degree, but the real tragedy is that none of the products seem to work on her, and definitely have absolutely no effect on her smug faced hubby.
I’m still awaiting moderation?
When the subject is censorship!
Very droll.
You’ve got a rude name.
This lying shite also voted AGAINST letting the Gurkhas coming to Britain …
Peter Hain (Neath) Labour
Oh. Wasn’t he the one who ‘fought’ so hard to get Mugabe into power?
And when will Sir Michael White turn his coat like Polly Filla ?
Any news on him ? Or Dolly ? or Macbride ? All in a cave somewhere in the West of Ireland ??!
I think Polly will have to stay in Tuscany – she will be laughed out of any serious meeting here…
Was she still paid even though the column was paid?
Labour are crashing all the way to 3rd place in the elections.
There is no recovery. Even the BBC cannot contain the critical mass of awareness that this current administration is the worst since history began.
Watch here what happens when MPs on Labour’s benches start to panic.
Enjoy the show!
Close down the BBC…………..
We don’t need them with Internet etc…and all the private media…
spot on
Fuck off mister. I like Newsround.
Try Hollyoaks instead. It’s fucking great totty!
Even Nick Robinson’s blog can’t contain the disaster the is Martin. The blog over there is getting like this one without the expletives
I see Mrs Michael Gove recommended the Pennyhill Hotel and Spa to a reader in The Times. Glad to see that she had done her research properly.
Peter Oborne just told it like it is on BBC, and that fucking arsewipe White has sneered at him as if he is deranged!
I see the HOC is choc-full of hard-working MPs again
For those interested, Michael Martin’s shoot the messenger speech today (YouTube): Michael Martin – Shoot the Messenger
Oh well, think positive. At least when Speaker Martin becomes ex-Speaker Martin he has a glittering career ahead of him as a hole-deepener. Even JCB can’t build kit that digs holes deeper that fast.
I can see how he gets away with it…
“Giving quotes to the Express, I mean the press… giving quotes to the Press…” you just wanna shut up and hope the geriatric meaningless howling will stop.
Trying to follow what he’s saying is so difficult — he crashes like a dying hard disk. The irony is his title’s the Speaker!
Labour have certainly given us a set of baselines: the worst prime minister, the worst speaker, the worst deficit, the worst… well everything really.
Guido or anyone: Why does the Telegraph now appear to be protecting speaker Martin after his outrageous outburst at Kate Hooey and others today? They run this story which makes him look like the honest broker trying to clean up the House?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5308576/MPs-expenses-Serious-change-needed-to-allowances-system-Speaker-says.html
Amazing.
It probably comes under the principle of “objective opinion”, of which the Telegraph is mostly guilty of.
The other parties point of view.
For you as an individual to decide which, after all the available points of view you can assimilate you may have to come to a decision on the sirtuation. Or not.
Plus the Labourgraph has lost its bottle.
WHAT ABOUT THE TESTICLE TWINS? SNOUTS DEEPEST IN THE TROUGH AND NOT A DICKY BIRD
Labourgraph has lost its bottle. What about the Testicle Twins?
SNOUTS DEEPER IN THE TROUGH THAN ANYBODY ELSE – MR & MRS BALLS
The talk that they will get in “outside” accountants to audit the MP’s expenses is a complete joke – the big 4/the final four are running the country.
KPMG, PwCooper, Deloittes and Ernest & Young are the problem, not the solution.
So bloody right…
I was fired for trying to control the scandalous risks that RBS took…you may remember…and the bloody auditors sat on their arses taking tens of millions of quid in fees and signing off EVERYTHING…
And does anyone remember the biggest global accounting firm?
They were called Anderson. Money-laundering spivs is what they turned out to be. I $incerely doubt the others are any different.
I’ve just read Polly Twaddle’s latest offering re: one ” orphan boy-genial postman-self made- clever but modest -has the grace and charm to match his back story – good to work with – good in public ” and on and on . Poor Alan must be so embarrassed by this peurile outpouring . Obviously she has switched her hero-worship obsession from gordon to alan.
Nell, why don’t you let go an expletive at leat once, or preferably once in a while?
Sorry (see Gordon it’s not a hard word to say) I once tried to learn Spanish and I wasn’t any good at that either.
Fair enough!
Mala suerte cariño.
There is a spanish song translated which says :
“Bad luck if you lose today
Bad luck if I walk alone
I’m guilty of everything
and I cannot change”
Does it remind you of anyone?

They all need to see this: The Pay It Back Campaign. We want our money back, you bastards!
Anyone who has watched tonight’s Dispatches programme on Channel 4, and contrasted the squalor and systematic neglect of state child care with the high life of politicians and their media enablers living it up by embezzlement from the public purse, will feel physically ill to think of the hideous mysteries of the Vine bed-chamber, where lies and greed and avarice are the first fruits of the vile couplings of media and politics.
Very eloquent and very correct

Was that really the Speaker of the House of Commons I heard on R4 news? Or was it a row breaking out in a late night fag shop frequented by mini-cab drivers, in a less-than salubrious part of Glasgow?
It takes a lot to shock me these days, but I was genuinely shocked. How did it get to this? The coarse, ill-tempered belligerence of this ghastly, chippy screw-up beggars belief, especially when directed at the civilised and decent Kate Hoey. Someone who had spent the day doing nothing but change the incontinence pants on Nigerian dementia patients would likely have had a better attitude than Gorbals Mick. Quite unbelievable.
Has anyone got a link to the full debate on the speakers statement, parliament tv is not working for some reason.
It’s not repeated tonight and that’s from parly tv on sky which is working as they are still going on about the unequality bill
Fancy a trip down memory lane ? Here’s the Labour Manifesto 1997
Over the five years of a Labour government:
Education will be our number one priority, and we will increase the share of national income spent on education as we decrease it on the bills of economic and social failure
There will be no increase in the basic or top rates of income tax
We will provide stable economic growth with low inflation, and promote dynamic and competitive business and industry at home and abroad
We will get 250,000 young unemployed off benefit and into work
We will rebuild the NHS, reducing spending on administration and increasing spending on patient care
We will be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime, and halve the time it takes persistent juvenile offenders to come to court
We will help build strong families and strong communities, and lay the foundations of a modern welfare state in pensions and community care
We will safeguard our environment, and develop an integrated transport policy to fight congestion and pollution
We will clean up politics, decentralise political power throughout the United Kingdom and put the funding of political parties on a proper and accountable basis
We will give Britain the leadership in Europe which Britain and Europe need
You know that things can only get better !
They were beguiled by the ilk of the elephant lamp.
They forgot:
We will fuck the economy royally
We will line our own pockets.
We will reward our patrons with government contracts with no audit trails.
We will throw taxpayers money at all sections of the Public Sector with fuck all real improvements
We will engage in illegal conflicts
We will bend over forwards for the Americans to fuck any diplomatic influence we ever had in the World
We will dumb down the population into submission
We will implement Stazi policy to encourage citizens to spy on fellow citizens
We will install more CCTV than any other country worldwide (per head of population)
We will puport to be fiscally prudent but will print money when we are found out
We will murder our opponents and call it suicide.
Any more? I can think of another dozen at least
we will wank over blue films at taxpayes expence
We will break up and sell off Britain’s major nuclear services and reactor design company to the Americans and the Japanese, then announce a major expansion of the nuclear power industry.
We will condemn your children and their children to a lifetime of poverty.
But look on the bright side — we will invent and provide for your amusement the new parlour-game of KICKING THE SHIT OUT OF THE PREMIER when he is discovered to be a complete and utter fucking moron, a mincer and … what’s worse … SCOTCH.
I like that game. Can I apply my torque wrench to his nuts?
We didn’t evem come close…
To think that the manifesto commitments have not only turned out to be untrue, but were never intended to be true.
How loathsome, demoralizing, and disempowering to contemplate the contempt that the manifesto writer must have had for us all! New Labour advanced its cause on a platform of lies, trampling on the trust and good faith of millions of people so that finally Gordon Brown is left alone on stage, a broken cockerel calling out mad drunken lies from the top of his dung hill, and wondering where the old magic of the Big Lie has gone.
Interesting to look at this 12 years down the line and see what a load of twaddle politicians sprout. It was complete bullshit then. Nothing more than ‘marketing speak’. They’ve spun and lied for 12 long years. Things can only get better with someone else at the helm.
Liebour policy in one line:
What ever the problem, hose it with massive amounts of tax payer’s money.
or……why tell the truth when a lie will do
“every person there, male and female, bore the worst stigmata of sniffish middle-class superiority. If a real working man, a miner dirty from the pit, for instance, had suddenly walked into their midst, they would have been embarrassed, angry and disgusted; some, I should think, would have fled holding their noses.”
Funny how this was written by a Blair as well.

Michael White: “Apart from a few token gestures, the Telegraph has pulled its punches on Conservative expenses claims”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/blog/2009/may/11/mps-expenses-conservatives-michael-white
Dear me, what a partisan fool this man is. How does he qualify this statement without facts? His shouty mistake ridden commentry proves to be his undoing and he does get a royal kicking in his comments which is worth seeing e.g. why on earth does Gorbals Mick get off so lightly when he did his utmost to prevent people seeing this information.
balls.
Agree.
There is something not right with the Telegraph’s analysis of the Conservatives expenses.
Firstly, in the Sunday Telegraph they did had a resurrection of the old Sinn Fein expenses, when we were expecting Tory expenses;
secondly if they are under an injunction from the Tories, we will not know about it. Could it be that the Telegraph is being told what to print?? Cameron’s shadow cabinet mmmm……… something is not right……
bollocks!
Learn the language before commenting.
There is no authority left in the UK now…
Government totally discredited..with mad Prime Minister
Police seriously in doubt…
Parliament in flames with mad Speaker
Only Boris as Mayor of London with any credibility and recently elected..and HM the Queen…
I have seen troubles in the Uk for years…
But never a collapse of authority like this..
Only an election can possibly restore any authority…otherwise I can see anarchy and deep trouble
Anarchy and deep trouble would seem a credible (and creditable) alternative to NewLiars
Yes.
and at this rate we will have it…
Call in the Army, Navy and Airforce. Meet NuLab at dawn at Runnymede.
With Travelodge vouchers, a typing pool and a book of chitties for the stationery cupboard they would not need an expensive accountancy firm monitoring them.
An admin assistant could monitor this system at a very reasonable charge. To put in place another system so complex as to require an audit is obviously just another way to carry on, cover up and blame “the system” again a few years down the line.
They are a complete shower and ZaNuLab are running round like headless chickens; as per their Dear Leader they are making it up as they go along. Are they waiting for the review, are they reforming everything next week according to the next idea of the minute, are they actually still in any way in control of the agenda?
McMental has presided over the complete collapse of government authority; the only way now is an early election.
Or that swine flu thingy … might work this week, eh?
Just what are PMQs going to be like from now on ?
Parliamentary mayhem ?
I’ve just read somethng that has made me feel loads better. Tax experts are saying MP’s could be hit with large tax bills because of the way they wrote their own tax exemption clause in legislation. The clause says they are exempted from tax for ‘expenses specific to their parliamentary duties’ Anything else, apparently, is taxable and Her Majesty’s Revenues and Customs has now indicated that it will review all claims. I hope they go back ten years; that should take in the Blair’s, as well as Hoon, Blears, Vaz, Smith,Moran etc etc
Think they can only go back six years. Still, better than nothing!
I am told if they believe there is fraud they can go back further ? Is that true?
They can alter any rule if it is proved to be of criminal intent, to no limit.
They will, if they have the inclination, prosecute tax evaders.
Whether they will prosecute all MP’s who have been evading paying tax or CGT, remains to be seen.
Somehow, I don’t think we’ll see it!
HMRC can go back as far as they like!!!
Sad thing is we will never know. Tax info is confidentiial
Unless it ends up in court a la Ken Dodd, wouldn’t that be luvlly jubbly.
No receipt? That’ll be 100% taxable then please. Kerching!
I used to work for the Inland revenue, the revenue will only “come down hard” on ordinary people e.g the old girl with a small private pension and some earnings, or the average working John/Jill.
These clowns get to “negotiate” how much tax they are willing to pay.
If they do, I predict HMRC as part of the client state will go hard after the Conservatives and go easy on Labour. Plus, I’d love to see them jet over to N Ireland and knock on Adams and McGuiness’ front doors… better pack some kevlar…

Cameron should now lead by example. If he shows some balls then he can grind these sleaze ridden NewLiar control freaks into the dust.
1. State that whilst troughing may have been in the rules it was not in the spirit of the rules and those in the Conservative party which in his opinion exceeded what was correct will either be sacked from any shadow position they hold or in the case of back benchers put up for reselection in their local constituancy.
2.Members of the party will be asked (fucking told) to look carefully at their expense claims and re-imburse any claims that they now feel were outside the spirit of the rules.
3.Any financial fraud (e.g.non payment of CGT on flipped homes) found will result on the member in question being asked (fucking told) to resign immediately
All future expense claims will be published online at conservative.com this will be extended to MEP’s and local councillors over the coming 12 months.
Put the matter to bed ASAP with decisive action then get back to Politics and saving the country from any further damage NewLiars can inflict with some joined up policies on Europe, the economy, immigration, the NHS, education, transport infrastucture, the benefits system, the Police, local government and undoing this culture of control micro mangement.
Time to stop this self-flagellation with some real leadership, let New Liars sink in their shitstorm of sleaze, distance yourself from it and push for a GE ASAP with a clean start and clear conscience.
No-one in their right mind will vote Labour again but the groundswell is that all major parties are corrupt and in league together in this shameful charade of thievery. No matter how good the policies are you will all be tarred with this brush unless someone does “the right thing”, and fast.
We’re watching and fucking waiting.
If Dave has got any sense, you may well be right.
Quite agree…
But he has the time to get his act together and all he has DONE is to say sorry…sadly he’s just too bloody weak…
I think his wife has more balls than he does frankly…
And she’s not interested in politics !!
Nor in his balls since he turned out to be such a wuss. It all started with the cycle helmet. You just can’t feel the same way about a man once you’ve seen him in one of those.
You’re back early!

OT – I’ve just had my number 10 petition rejected asking the PM to thank Heather Brooke for all her work on FOI
Your petition was classed as being in the following categories:
* Outside the remit or powers of the Prime Minister and
Government
I thought Broon was part of the government that brought it in, you’d think he’d be pleased it was working so well
Probabaly got Heather (bless her -should be up for a Damehood from a grateful Nation) on some hit list to shut her up.
I trust the Queen will make her a Baroness. Then Heather can get into the House of Lords and sort that out.
You mean somebody is actually married to him?
I wrote this earlier today at the tail end of a link, have re-read it and totally agree with myself!!! Having had an active interest in politics all my life and being a niave fucker always thought things would get better, I am now a totally disillusioned 50 something year old. 50 something but really fucking angry that we have all been subjected to being treated like Peons & cattle.
I have always been to the right and voted Tory but unless we see some real leadership here can see myself joining or forming AGITPROP.

I have a radical idea:
Why not be MP for the area where you live? That would save all this ‘having another house in your constituancy’ rubbish.
Dumping strangers on the electorate surely is an insult to them.
Especially if they orginate in another country.
Cameron & Brown’s apologies for expenses remind us of Homer ’s “Marge, I swear, I never meant for you to find out!”
Or the joke about the guy with the chalk tucked behind his ear. No my love I’ve been playiing darts all night, not banging some slapper (peon) ((Us)).

WHO’S GOT THE BALLS? GO FOR THE BALLSY TWINS!
The Shadow Cabinet’s expences were not too bad. Benedict Brogan seems to be Cameron’s mouth piece with his blogs, very complementary as if he is under orders.
If they reveal 8 backbenchers who are happy to go, they announce they are standing down at the next election, Cameron removes the whip and all pressure is on Brown.
Media campaign to force an election with the Conservatives are the good guys and Labour as the Nasty Party????
Think the public will want some front bench scalps to restore confidence. Everyone I’ve met today is really hacked off about ALL parties – they’re all tarred with the same brush, and token gestures won’t wash.
At the end of all this, will that stinking useless one-eyed incompetent Scottish Hoon still be permitted to get Sky Sports on expenses?
Blind get BBC licence free…..Gordon gets his for half-price, but claims for full cost
Na. Next ploy will they’ll be blagging for freebies “I’m an MP, you know – you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. That’s how soap stars get free kit .
To be honest, I’d only be interested in Gove if he was fucking a goat. Sorry.
Please! I do have standards.
Bring him on!
Are you male?
Come to think of it. Can’t believe that at least one hasn’t claimed for TV licence
I seem to remember Blair did. So no doubt most of the others did. Would you want to pay the BBC twice?
I made this speech in 1996:
“They are up to their necks in sleaze. The best slogan he could think up for their conference next week is Life’s better under the Tories. Sounds to me like one of Steven Norris’s chat up lines. Can you believe that this lot is in charge? Not for long, eh? Then after 17 years of this Tory government, they have the audacity to talk about morality. Did you hear John Major on the Today programme? – calling for ethics to come back into the political debate? I’m told some Tory MPs think ethics is a county near Middlesex. It’s a bit hard to take: John Major – ethics man. The Tories have redefined unemployment they have redefined poverty. Now they want to redefine morality. For too many Tories, morality means not getting caught.Morality is measured in more than just money. It’s about right and wrong. We are a party of principle. We will earn the trust of the British people. We’ve had enough lies. Enough sleaze.”
Change the names, and he’s spouting much the same gobshite now.
and gurning too. That said shagging Edwina in our equivilent of the Oval Office must have been quite a blast (Q. How do you like your eggs? A.Unfertilized!)
A lot of pies have gone down the shitter since then my boys.
I can’t wait for these fuckers to come door-stepping when the election comes.
That’s if they dare.
If only there were room on my doorstep for a thousand-yard stare.
Why don’t we start at new tradition, instead of burning Guy Fawkes on Bonfire at bonfire night, lets start burning dummies of the political class! They’ve been burning our money for years!
“Helipads” and swimming pools causing outrage with Michael Martin blustering tw@ttishly about the leak.
Party leaders saying sorry like they “accidently” bumped into this disgusting sleaze perpetrated by those they lead by mistake.
Exactly what will it take for it to seep into their thick skulls that this is causing unparalleled disgust for the entire Political System and all MP’s ?
Just watched the BBC News. What a slick bit of rewriting history went on there. Along the lines of : The prime minister apologising, then showing Cameron apologising, then Cleggie. To a non-reader of this blog, it would seem that the Prime Minister apologised first, then the others followed suit.
About 20 minutes later Toenails mentioned en passant that Cameron had apologised last night – but no mention that he was the first to apologise, then the mc hoons obviously read the chicken entrails and decided to steal yet another of his policies….
Kate Hoey was talked over, and you only got to hear Doc Martin rambling a la Rab C Nesbitt – perhaps she had a good point – who (other than readers here) would ever know. The BBC is so blatant these days – surely it must be next to go.
“The BBC is so blatant these days – surely it must be next to go.”
If only. They can’t be voted out. I hear their expenses and benefits are pretty good too.
Where is the BBC “balance” now? Who broke its wings and pulls its strings?
Oh I don’t know. Incoming Tory government decide to include other left-wing “public service” channels in the pot, like Channel 4. Put some placemen in to divvy it out, then watch them compete to provide the most arselicking news coverage of the government….to increase their share…….
No surprise there- just keeping up standards. What do you expect for only 12 quid a month?. Bung another few quid at your MPs “in Authority” then we might be talking.
Just to think that New Labour’s manifesto commitments have not only turned out to be untrue, but were never intended to be true.
How demoralizing, and disempowering to contemplate the contempt that the manifesto writer must have had for ordinary people! New Labour advanced its cause on a platform of lies, trampling on the trust and good faith of millions of people until finally Gordon Brown is left alone on stage, a broken cockerel crowing the same mad lies from a-top his dung hill, and wondering where all the old magic of the Big Lie had gone.
