Brown Avoids Referring to Darling in the Future Tense
Brown has just twice refused a Sky News interviewers invitation to refer to Alastair Darling’s status in the future tense. Benedict Brogan senses the ground beneath Darling’s feet turning to quicksand. Is this it, Balls and Brown hunkering down in the bunker for the last stand of the remaining members of Team GB?
Will Darling be this bunker’s Claus Von Stauffenberg? He appears to be being set-up to be the fall guy for Brown over the economy.
Am I the first to hope he goes ?
the hoons dead man walking like the aussies
Brown says he wants more democracy,well call the election and fuck off.
Second that motion.
Darling now has his chance to redeem himself. He needs to do to Brown what Howe did to Thatcher.
Hear here! There was an article in the Telegraph this morning suggesting that 60% want an early election, but it seems to have disappeared now….

GENERAL ELECTION PLEASE GORDON
Can someboby explain why we have Scottish MPs in our parliament when they have their own parliament? As English MPs cannot sit in the Scottish parliament what are these sweaty socks doing down here?
Adam Boulton is not a happy bunny over his interview with Brown. Cool!
well said.
exactly
Does anyone have a link to the Adam Boulton interview?
In the mean-time, Guido’s headline for this thread disguises just how f#cked Darling is!
Here it straight from McStalin’s stuttering and stammering sound-hole on Sky News here.
He CAN’T call an election because he is too busy saving the economy, and anyway an election would cause chaos.
As usual, he’s got things all back to front. He has ruined the economy, and the longer an election is postponed the more chaotic things will become.
Round up of latest 18% poll for Labour, Sky interview with Brown and did you know that no governing party has ever polled as low as Gordon’s?

Marvellous.
i heard he wished the ausses good luck for the ashes
Come on Gordon. We know that you truly want the Aussies to win as you obviously hate the English! Not only that, you are a Jonah. Therefore, if you wish the Aussies good luck then they are bound to play like a bunch of schoolgirls and get walloped!
It does make it much easier throw a cordon around Drowning Street and let the rest of the UK get on with it’s own business without them

don’t count out Brown:

-postal voting
I wish there was no future tense for the fucking lot of them.
What saddens me is the way that NuLab has stolen the futures of so many of our children. I had heard a lot about the dumbing down of the schools exam system, but to my shame not paid too much attention to this. For the last two weeks I have taken time off work to help my son cram for his science GCSE’s, and after a day or two more and more of his class-mates turned up to join the informal teaching sessions. I was shocked by how much they did not know, how little they understood outside the tickbox stupidity of the current syllabus. The standard of teaching at even so-called ‘good schools’ has declined so far, so fast. I seriously doubt that our kids will be able to compete in the global market place. New Labour, what have you done?
I could not agree more. We have all been screwed by these ejeets.
You are a myopic scientist to boot no doubt.
The reality is that the state education system has been improved beyond recognition since Labour were elected in 1997.
The system had been left to rot under the Conservatives. Buildings literally were crumbling. Teachers were untrained, vilified and demotivated.
Now so called public schools are running scared of the state schools to the extent that many of them don’t publish their exam results. Those that do publish them do their best to massage them by giving full scholarships to the most gifted state school pupils in the sixth form.
It sounds like you should have done more earlier for your thick son and his equally thick friends. Probably it would have made no difference, just give him a ball to play with.
Master Baiter – Do you really believe the complete crap you posted above?
You screen name seems complete appropriate a complete wanker.
Mr Patel it is true.
You should find out about the state of the school system under the Conservatives and the effects of under investment in their period of power.
The supposed virtue of ‘balancing’ the books is a myth, if the capital investment in the infrastructure of the country is neglected. The Conservatives neglected education and health among other things, so that they were crumbling by the end of their tenure.
That is the main the reason the Conservatives have failed to regain power since 1997.
Fortunately, because of the threat to the Conservatives from the right they are forced to shed their caring camouflage and rebranding attempt to reveal their true self defeating bigotted selves.
There are internationally recognised objective test that prove the United Kingdom has improved educational attainment under the Labour Party. Perhaps you or the equally misinformed Conservative or UKIP supporting commenters can find objective evidence to the contrary.
Master Baiter, I was at (state) secondary school from 1995-2000 and noticed no change. You appear to be quoting from a Labour press release.
If you were at a state school from 1995 to 2000 and you could read newspapers you would know that Labour undertook to follow the same spending plans for two years as the outgoing Conservatives. This would mean that the ealiest any spending could take place is 2000, the year apparently you stopped attending a state school.
Does that help you?
As a teacher/lecturer with many years’ experience I can confirm that ‘Master Baiter’ is talking total and utter horseshit.
It’s pretty clear he’s a smartish kid, but a kid nonetheless.
Run along now, Baiter.
I worked with a young lad who was apprenticed to my old company, had high grades in all the GCSE’s he took – the highest being maths and english.
The poor bugger could not read or write to any useful level, and could cope with multiplication and division aslong as he had a calculator. Despite having trained for nearly 3 years in an course, and supposedly well versed with electronics and electrical theory, nearly electricuted himself on half a dozen occasions for the simple reason he could not apply the information he had been parrotting to actually applying that knowledge; and yet he was the smartest of three from the same school but not one of them could successfully apply what they had learnt.
This is not uncommon, whilst I’m sure certain some youngsters will make school work for them because they are no doubt the more intelligent individuals who soak up information wherever they go. Make no mistake, those that go on to succeed do so inspite of the education system not because of it. What is becoming increasingly visible as the NuLabour educated generation look for work is the increase proportion of school-leavers with mediocre level intelligence and perception. Sure, they have got their media studies GCSE, but have no real understanding of basic science, grammar, mathematics or literature.
You would be right in saying that there are many dulling influences on our minds that contribute, but you would be irresponsible to ignore the terrible state of our school-leavers and not have some concerns about our schools.
Um, not quite sure how you can blame the tories for this one.
Not only are our schools still crumbling but they are also indebted in perpetuity by the government’s fraudulent PFI rip off schemes where private companies take all the profits and our schoolchildren are left with insufficient study materials and schoolbuildings.
I think you have just disappeared up your own backside Master Baiter.
You have GOT to be a tory fifth columnist. But whatever the hell you are you are definitely a vote loser for the Labour Party.
Good work!
I then carried on to sixth form college between 2000 and 2002 and noticed no change. In any case I noticed nothing wrong with my secondary school before 1997. Or the two schools I went to before.
Except of course for the dumbed down exams which have existed under both parties.
The fact is that the electorate kept the Con servitudes out because they were not trusted on education and health. Cameron tried to rebrand the image of the con servitude party. That rebranding has failed, because they are scared of the right melting their core vote and because it takes more than baseball caps and recycled trainers.
Where does that leave the Con servitudes?
Answer, very vulnerable.
The post by Bad Magic says it all.
Not to say that the Conservatives were not doing it, but Labour have really sped down the route of ‘education lite’. Their emphasis is solely on having kids getting better results year on year, whatever the cost.
You can’t blame the illiterate, finger-counting, murmur-speaking teens that have just got their rack of 10 grade A’s. Labour have had 12 years to sort out Tory damange, but they have made it worse.
Labour, and their politically-correct, gentle, lite, whatever the fuck they want to call it approach to education, is bird-shite, no matter how that moron Master Baiter tries to tinker it.
Little wonder that most employers want nothing to do with those fresh out of our terrible education system.
Teachers have spent so much time on indoctrination that there’s no time left for the syllabus.
Christ is that line still being peddled? I spend most of my time trying to get kids to care about something more than the crap that society foists onto them.
Mrs Lola is a teacher. I have long wished her a pleasant day at the ‘state indoctrination centre’ as she sets off in the a.m. for another days thankless grind at the chalk face. The only saving grace is the pension scheme, which isn’t that brilliant as the pay it’s based on (for good teachers – not for the 33% that are tossers) is crap.
She should quit the profession then, or be more creative in trying to teach beyond the limitations as better teachers do.
Of course she teaches beyond the limitations as, as you rightly point out, the best teachers do. And she likes teaching, so why should she quit? She doesn’t moan about the pay, I do! What she does moan about is the confiscatory income tax she pays. I point out that it is just a rebate to the rest of us wealth creators in private business but all that gets me is a whack. However there is some small success as more and more of her teaching mates, having argued with me for years as to how privatisation of education was an inherently Bad Thing are coming round to the idea that it actually would be a very Good Thing, not only for their pay levels, but their professionalism and the for the benefit of the children.
They’ve started ‘privatising’ schools by stealth anyway. I’m totally committed to my job (having had two more lucrative careers and left them by choice) and if I thought it would benefit learning I’d be all for it. But Governments don’t have the expertise or foresight for privatising public services effectively, in my humble opinion. Nor the most encouraging track record.
A Marxist acquaintance of mine teaches something called “Black History”, I listened then fell about laughing as she explained to me that Beethoven and Shakespeare were both black. Sad, because she not only believes it but teaches it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if today’s GCSEs are far easier than the old CSEs – which were an easier alternative to the O Level.
Most are.
Old CSE grade A = Old “O” level grade C
If my memory serves me correctly.
Yes, CSE grade 1 was regarded as O-Level ‘C’
CSE grade 1 was equivalent to a pass at O level (grade C) I recently looked at a GCE O level Physics paper which is still taught in places like Singapore. It was interesting to contrast it with a GCSE UK Physics paper. The comparison was not flattering to the GCSE. In fact the GCSE was the sort of exam that a third year O level student could have passed with ease. To try and pretend that exams and teaching hasn’t been dumbed down is dishonest.
Yes, and I am saying the modern GCSE is even easier than the old CSE, which makes it much easier than the old O level.
bloody hell
I’ve got loads of ‘O’ levels – can I be prime mentalist please – couldn’t possibly do any worse than BrownBalls?
Most science and maths teachers (or the decent ones at least) feel totally demoralised by the dumbing down of their subjects. There are still opportunities to set broader/more challenging tasks for able students in English – but they change grade boundaries to suit (as they assume the electorate is thick) the ‘standards are improving’ mantra. A grade A can mean fuck all compared to few years ago. and as you need fuck all to get into college or even ‘university’ there’s little incentive for most to put much effort in anyway.
You’re right, but that’s how newlabour wanted it. Education is probably the first most important thing to give a child, but with more knowledge nulabour
must have sussed that the ‘people’ would find them out. Keep the ‘people’
ignorant then we’ll be able to pull the wool over their eyes forever.
Quite right. I am totally demoralised and bored stupid by the curriculum. It is rubbish – you don’t reall have to know much science now, just be able to parrot some how science works stuff. I’ve been writing year 7 and 8 courses that contain lots of history and philosophy of science so they do know how science works.
Part of the problem is that we have to teach to targets that mean nothing to anyone except that they were generated by a meaningless process somewhere in city hall or Ed Balls’s puny grey matter. No one seems to ask the children what they want to achieve and why, and then how science would contribute to that goal. Just shove them through the mincer – schools get more and more like Pink Floyd’s fascist nightmare all the time. Roger Waters – could he be persuaded to stand as a celeb candidate in Grantchester Meadows South?
I doubt the Gov have the brains for such a cunning plan, bfc.
I think that Matt in the Telegraph last year summed it up when the little lad with a sheet full of fails told his parents they did not understand how difficult it was to achieve that result.
On a more serious note, a student with B grade GCSE Maths and C in Statistics was unable to do long division (312/26), long multiplication (4064 x 3127) or to determine the median of five numbers laid out in ascending order, without a calculator.
She was in tears when I told her that her school had failed to give her sufficient basic grounding for a career as an accounting technician.
You’re right. It is the unreported catastrophe as a direct result of which there is nothing to fill the gap left by the collapse of the financial services sector.
Look at the universities too. Twenty years ago, you needed to do 8 terms of lectures in 3 years to get a Bachelor’s degree. Now it’s only 6.
The only thing that happens in the summer term is exams which means that undergraduates have no lectures between March & October (“in my day” we had exams followed by a term-full of lectures). That’s despite them having to shell out £3k / year. Strangely though, they manage to award more 1st class degrees.
Clearly they are cleverer than me because I can’t understand that…
It gets worse. When these selfsame students turn up at Uni we are having to waste valuable time and resources providing remedial teaching, to make up for everything they failed to learn at school. This takes time away from teaching the course (in my case clinical science) at the appropriate, University level. This in turn lowers the calibre of the students throughout the course, and leads to the grade inflation to which you refer. UK plc is sinking below the waves, and I see no-one in NuLab who either understands or cares. This lot make Harold Wilson (remember the White Heat of technology?) seem like a giant.
It may not be fashionable, but to restore standards we need to return to making degrees difficult and only for the best and the brightest. This would allow us to bring back grants and extend free education for all, who are capable of learning.
I work at a university as part of the Registry department and I deal with a lot of students through email and letters and I would say that the majority of responses I have had from UK students are written in the most appauling english and I really wonder what the hell our secondary schools are teaching these students. And it is getting worse. I am not at all surprised that cases of plagiarism has increased where I work as students cannot handle higher education due to the way they are taught at schools. Self Study – what’s that?
Appauling, eh?
It certainly make one feel quite humble although I’m encouraged by MI5 and his reply to Caesers Wife.
University for those who can benefit not mejaa studies for those who would be better off elsewhere.
Just to add to the general sense of disbelief, a small traditional engineering business of my aquaintance recently took on an apprentice – proper traditional 4-year job. Despite having a good Maths GCSE, the lad could not understand basic fractions, so marking-out and measuring materials to make repair parts for older equipment using imperial measurements was utterly beyond him. The foreman has had to sit down with him and start teaching him remedial maths.
The comments of the craftsmen (old-school time-served) about the education system (not about the lad, he’s a bright enough chap and will learn) have to be heard to be believed. They would make the worst profanity on this site sound very mild indeed.
I’m sure we are all willing to be educated in a few new profanities – we need something fresh to help describe the Great Helmsm and his government of ‘All the Talents’.
Same at all levels. I recently retired after a working life, first in scientific research then electronic and software engineering. I sat on a lot of recruitment panels, and you could see the knowledge (not the ability) of new graduates falling off rapidly over the years, especially in the last 10 years! We had to spend the first year of their employment bringing them up to speed!
So the apprentice is getting a proper apprenticeship. That is training in the job skills and life skills. Mixing with men who aren’t his dad or other male relatives. Learning creative profanity and the difference between a ‘tad’ and ‘smidgen’ are vital to all proper blokes education. And being able to switch between Imperial and metric and do the numbers in your head is a skill to be learned and treasured.
Well said Sir.
It’s all about teaching to the lowest common denominator in order to make the figures look good.
An all too familiar result of ZanuLabias “inclusion” policy where no one ever fails and everyone gets a gold fucking star…even the thickos who cant spell their own name on the entry form…lol.
Example.
) but i realise that even though im acs credited (equivalent) im no way qualified enough with EXPERIENCE to do such a job.
I recently completed a course on gas installation.
3 years worth of work and study condensed down into approx 12 months.
I got the certs, i can do the theory and most of the practical.
Can i do the actual job? Honestly? Erm No.
Im considered smart by some ( im saying nothing on that score.
So what was the fucking point?
To get me off the dole list and screw the numbers as per usual Labourshite methodology.
And so it is with todays A and O levels. Dumbed down to cater for the lowest denominator, equal measures for all, no high achievers need apply, funny then that the same ethos means we have a government, an administration of under achievers, shit thick pretenders who cant add up and get their tax returns right, who admit to making “errors” but only where expenses are concerned, but who are very definitely top of the class for being incompetent fucktards.
Well, come the election my votes going in the ” FUCK YOU GORDON! ” box…..
My son does what is called a modular Maths GCSE course. A series of modular exams of increasing difficulty until they reach Module 10, the hardest. This is then capped off at the end of Year 11 (fifth year in old money) by a terminal exam, covering all modules, which just happened to be this morning.
To his credit, he was mightily pissed off having revised hard on Module 10 topics this weekend only to discover this morning that the final paper had no questions on the tougher subjects.
Expect there to be a significant uplift in the A* grades announced in August (not that the typical maths student now will understand the meaning of ‘significant’)
If this kind of scam is going on across all subjects, no doubt it will be claimed in the Autumn election that NuLab spending (sorry, investment) on education has been worthwhile.
A lot of the trouble comes from the fact that so many members of the government aren’t themselves well educated, so how would they know if one person is better educated than another? Anyway New labour have always been ‘all mouth’, loads of promises, a lot of hot air, and then……….. absolutely nothing.
My 16 yr old girl is currently taking her exams. In History, she doesnt even need to sit a proper exam as it is all based on coursework. Ok, she isnt in the top set for history but surely, a GCSE based on coursework alone?
Do you remember Pounds, Shillings, Pence? Even the dumbest kids quickly learnt to work in fractions as well as base 12 and base 20 or they’d get screwed every time they went to the shops.
And of course, a great boon to inflation. Prices used to go up in farthings or halfpennies – not any more!
And then there’s gallons…what sort of outrage do you suppose would happen if petrol went back to being priced in gallons?
The Penguin
Rubbish
MB – don’t you know that half term’s over? Wait until your mum finds out that you’ve been bunking off school!
My kids don’t go back to school until tomorrow. Today is a “training day” for their teachers.
Perhaps MB is using the extra day off to study Marxist Theory and the life of Friedrich Engels before he does his English homework?
When he grows up and starts earning some money for himself instead of letting Mummy subsidise him, he will understand a bit better. We’ve all been through this phase of realisation which comes with adulthood.
It’s called an in service training day, something that was unheard of under the Con servitudes. You can huff and puff all you like. The truth is that education provision and attainment has improved greatly under the Labour Party, which is a good thing. The Con servitude Party is wooly mouthed on the subject of education because of fears of being outflanked by the right wing ideologues on the inside such as the Madshipman Danananan Hanananan and on the outside by the mental pimples in UKIP.
Every other advanced economy apart from the US has learnt the importance of harnesisng its human capital by providing effective education. However the Con servitude Party is interested in moving back in time an employing some vague lame market based concepts that might appeal to dim witted super market basket case simpletons.
You may go.
When I was at school (during PMs Wilson, Callaghan & Thatcher) we always started term on a Tuesday because of “training days”.
I think MB has been reading history written by Winston Smith in Minitrue because these days have existed for quite a few years now.
“The truth is that education provision and attainment has improved greatly under the Labour Party, which is a good thing”
If by attainment you mean improving exam results, you might like to explain why when old exam papers are compared to their equivalent modern ones, they are much tougher. This dumbing down has occurred under both major parties (the Tories especially bear responsibility for getting rid of O Levels).
Some figures produced by the OECD and reported in the Telegraph on 6th December 2007.
They are the comparative world rankings from the years 2000 and 2007,
for reading, maths and science.
Reading – 2000 7th 2007 17th
Maths – 2000 8th 2007 24th
Science – 2000 4th 2007 14th
Over to you, MB.
Penguin,
We have been sold so much BS so that our nation is ‘in line’ with ‘Yoorup’. I think the rot started with decimalisation. Therefore I must agree with you.
Happy to help, first consider your source.
Then read the following.
There are a number of reasons why the UK fell so far down the scale, there is of course a statistical quirk at work.
A large number of high-performing small countries have been included in the second scale, but not the first – they include Chinese-Taipei (aka Taiwan), Hong Kong, Lichtenstein, Estonia, Slovenia and Macau.
They’ve joined the list above the UK – so our league position is pushed down, not because we’re doing relatively worse, but because the rankings now include people who are – and have always been – better than us. That accounts for quite a few places, but not all of them.
There are also changes in the way schools participate in the study which have altered the results.
In 2000 too few schools took part in the survey, and in 2003, too few students took part – result, the OECD says, of ‘survey fatigue’. Result: UK data from before 2006 aren’t reliable, and can’t be accurately compared.
A spokesman for the OECD said that the league tables for different years were never designed to be compared with each other, and the study shows no evidence that UK education has slipped.
You may go.
Master Baiter – you are aptly named .
The Conservatives invented “In-Service Days” , that’s why they are sometimes known as “Baker Days” after Kenneth Baker , the then Education Secretary .
I wish they hadn’t , because , as Eric Cantona rightly points out , they often turn into Marxist indoctrination sessions . They would make you vomit .
Very , very occasionally , however , one turns up where the commisars have gone on a course of their own and we get to do something useful , like prepare new work or catch up on marking .
The feeling of relief and some actual achievement is a pleasant change .
MB,
It’s very comforting to know that Estonia, Slovenia and Macau have better educational standards than the UK.
It’s very comforting that the UK’s falling educational attainment relative to other developed countries is merely a statistical quirk.
There seem to be many statistical quirks about these days. I seem to recall one involving knife crime statistics recently.
Here’s another statistical quirk. Every poster to this thread, bar one, has expressed concern about the UK’s falling educational attainment, many backing their comments up with hard experience gained from direct involvement. The only one to disagree is a Nuliebour apparatchik.
OECD, hard experience, or Nulab. I know which I believe.
About 7 years ago the Guardian printed some of the papers teachers were required to pass in order to start a teacher training course… I was on a packed train on my commute into work and did the maths one using mental arithmetic (took abut 10 minutes) it was so easy…
The only problem is that at school, I was so bad at maths that I not only failed the ‘O’ Level, but before the exam, my maths teacher said, “I really wonder whether it’s worth you sitting it” (teachers were honest in those days) and I had to agree.
So here we have a self confessed maths duffer, sailing through a test designed for teachers. Shurely shome mistake?
Minister for schools (and unfortunately my MP) Jim Knight has been working hard on raising standards. He even took a trip (holiday?) to China, and returned to tell all about the benefits of learning Mandarin and the teachings of Confucius http://tinyurl.com/ndc3l4
“”There is a lot we can learn from the Chinese culture and Confucius,” he said. “Confucius said that, alongside knowledge, you should have time to think. It is not just about acquisition of knowledge, but about respect for the importance of education and the family, and that is something I would love to see engendered in our culture as well as it is in China.”
I seem to recall being taught in that manner (and in a comprehensive) some decades ago, but then Jim Knight – a brown-nosing, credit-seeking nobody, promoted to a position far above his ability – is easily confused.
As a Minister, his failure /crime is that that children are not receive the best in their formative years.
As a Brown-noser. he will expect to make gains at the reshuffle.
MB should go back to school and learn history. In my day, these training days were called ‘Baker days’, after the then Sec State for Education …
there was history before 1997, m’boy …
All I can add to this debate is how bloody glad I am that my kids were in school at a time when teachers still taught & that my grandchildren are being brought up abroad & will never have to suffer the shit that passes for NuLabour ‘education’.
Dorset Lad – isn’t Jim Knight a total tosser? He’s not my MP, thank God, but there’s always enough about him in the local paper to get the measure of the man – I think 6 foot down would be good.
MB doesn’t know this because he is only a kid paid to be a Troll by the ‘NuLabour’ tossers. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
Best way to deal with him is ignore the wanker; maybe then he will give his anus a rest.
I agree, Anonymous; Jim Knight is a total tosser. He only gets on (in my opinion) because he is pure lobby fodder, never voting against his party.
His career prior to Parliament included managing a travelling theatre company, and I can imagine him flogging snake oil from the back of the wagon.
His majority at the last election was 1812…. hopefully an appropriate link to his final overture as an MP.
That said, the Tory candidate has nothing much to offer in the intellectual department. I suspect his selection was based more upon the fact that he is – by inheritance – a major landowner, than upon his ability. It’s a weakness that Knight will exploit and that the Tories need to address.
You are a scientist? a learned inquisitor? and you haven’t figured out newlabour are socialists, and socialism=police state=state oppression=mass murder?
I am an old age pensioner, and by the age of 16 I had figured out socialism is the most violent murderous political creed ever devised by mankind.
Perhaps a little research is required on your behalf?
olded.
I got into Uni with four E’s at A level when the final tally was scored cause i couldn’t be arsed with the AS for one year and then straight to A level the next rubbish they where peddling and as soon as i turned 18 i was down the boozer and getting laid. A levels are useless if you have money anyway, you could be in the same class with Johnny poshtwat who get’s A’s at a levels and get into the same uni as him unless it was oxford or cambridge with D’s E’s and F’s as long as you had a wad of cash.
I aint even bothered to cash in my UCAS points either as my degree is worthless, I know it and my employers know it and the lecturers know it thats why everyone *passes* or leaves uni today with a certificate if not a full degree.
I’m no means a chav and have a books in my collection ranging from Plato and Shakespeare at one end of the scale to Choamsky and Keourac at the other and most of everything inbetween.
Kids in Africa probably have a better education and qualification standards than we have nowadays, plus they don’t get the benefits of nice buildings, new books, pens and paper and calculators.
All that money pumped into education by New Labour and it’s done nothing but make their enfant terrible generations completely useless with useless qualifications.
This broadcast was brought to you by a member of the Nu Labour enfant terrible generation.
Ronny — we had a locum doctor from Ghana and he said when he was at medical school in London, his education was more on a par with the ex-public school med students than the state ones… they struggled as they had neither Latin, nor Greek and couldn’t understand the medical terms.
Well said Olded.
I was a farm labourer’s son who passed the 11+ and went to Grammar School. I got 6 ‘O’ levels and one ‘A’. The exams were hard then and the teaching was thorough and interesting.
40 odd years later I read the bollocks that imbeciles like MB write on this blog.
He/she/it has to be a shallow minded, deranged imbecile. The fact that he/she/it can string a few sentences together does prove there is some modicum of intelligence there. Unfortunately it has been wholly buggered by his talking out of his backside due to some form of brainwashing by Gordon and his hoons. I blame that ultra-hoon Mandy in particular.
341- you’re employed?
I have seen many people who have come out of the current education system who can barely function in the work-place when asked to think for themselves and then communicate about it clearly.
I must say there’s more to blame for that than the education system. My main problems are rapidly deteriorating concentration skills and the fact that students can’t see any link between effort and achievement (the ‘everything now society/over-indulgent parent’ effect). I try to nurture an interest in the world beyond reality TV/celebrity culture/their facebook or whatever accounts, but it’s an uneven fight. And I can hardly hold up ‘politics’ as a worthy ambition at the moment, can I?
I was the only UK student out of 20 in my PhD intake at University. Everyone else from overseas – what does that tell you about the standard of UK students compared with our European / Far East neighbours?
That 19 of the class knew we weren’t neighbours with the Far East?
That they could afford it? That the uni could charge them more?
We don’t have an education system we have a child attendance system.
It’s sole aim is to enable both parents to work and therefore double income and consumption taxes.
Until parents pay for their own childrens education, they will treat the system as a subsidized crèche.
Somehow you have to got to get the dead hand of the state bureaucracies out of education and hand the money back to the citizen and the schools and get schools to compete for students. In other words get a proper market in education rather than the faux postcode lottery/moving house/playing the Kafkaesque game to get your child into an institution that has a fair chance of providing education, market. People know what they want for their children and they know how to get it, generally. Sure some are louts, but they always will be. Most are not.
Currently 50% of the education budget is spent in Whitehall. This cannot be right. Get most of that 50% to the schools, or reduce taxes, and liberate them and their teachers to get on with educating.
And contrary to what MB says it is nationalisation that has failed, not privatisation. I accept that it is hard work to unglue nationalised monopolies from the sticky fingers of the statist bureaucrats whose jobs depend on rationing out the ‘public services’, but it can be done. Education is no different from any other service. We don’t have nationalised food supply, which is arguably more vital to life than education and it works well, except for the bits subject to nationalisation lite by regulation by the EU.
New Labour has been constantly saying that it will get funding for state schools up to the level enjoyed by private schools so that they can deliver the same quality of education. It seems to have escaped them that it could be just as easy and less costly to achieve the same thing by privatising all schools. In any event the total education budget gives a larger per head budget that the private sector because 50% is spent in Whitehall.
Essentially it is lefty doctrine that in order to ensure enough lefty voters you have to retain control of education, healthcare, anything else that can be classed as public service (bin collections – why?) and the money/banking system.
The lefties are now shitting themselves because they know that it is just beginning to dawn on a vastly better informed public that they, the lefties, are fucking useless at running any of this stuff and there is a good chance that if Cameron gets in and has the guts to do it the whole lot will be privatised and transformed for the better. In which case the lefties are doomed never to be in power again, excepting that if they can mount a successful armed insurrection.
McMental is fanatically tribal. He just wants to kill the Tories. This is bonkers. The Tories are just a political party. He’s not going to kill people like me that have seen through his uselessness and the tendentious vacuity of socialism and its latent totalitarianism. Something else will arise that will represent liberty and freedom, unless his camera laden, database equipped pettifogging rule bound apparatchik monitored bureaucratically administered quango run shitbox of a state can strangle it at birth.
Freeing up education will make such a dreadful prospect less likely, and he knows it. It will provide more free thinkers. That’s why he’s agin it.
For the avoidance of doubt I ‘benefited’ from a Grammar School education that I wasted in terms of exams passed, but benefited hugely from its intellectual stimulus and generally excellent and wonderfully indiosyncratic teachers. Except the music master who was a total time waster and one of the PE mastesr who was a sadist – but aren’t they all supposed to be?
That’s staggering – 50% of the education budget is spent in Whitehall!
I joked rather sarcastically at the weekend to a mate that halving the education budget might improve the quality, and I thought I was being cynical. Maybe I might be right.
This gives me hope. The next government could make drastic cuts with no degradation – indeed, possibly an improvement – to front-line services.
My mate left teaching for this very reason. He specifically cited the occasion when the syllabus dictated that after 3 weeks of studying Macbeth, the coursework task was to design a theatre poster based on the plays themes. That unsurprisingly was when he decided to quit. Another great teacher lost to the profession.
I detest exam result time purely because I have to listen to a robotic MP who went through the correct lobby enough times to get promoted by the whips to be a minister stating that the (yet again) improved exam results prove our children are getting brighter and the teaching better.
My old A level history teacher said that the syllabus no longer covers gobbets. He said that also essays were hardly touched now and replaced with Structured Questions. Why? Because there is no guarantee that a history teacher will mark a history paper so now the questions have to be formulated so there is a correct and a wrong answer that can easilt be identified. No room for shades of grey or debate or being able to justify a particular position any more simplty because of the way the exams are marked. Can anyone else verify this? If this is true it is a national disgrace.
God this makes me angry
Can’t he choose what coursework to set? Exam boards don’t dictate coursework tasks – and if his department did he should have moved schools. The coursework grades would be appalling, surely – how could you get even a G grade for a poster? (Come to that how do you study ‘Macbeth’ in three weeks?) I set all essay coursework – whatever the ability of the group. The (‘average’ ability) essay plan alone for ‘Macbeth’ is four pages of prompts – their essays are up to 20 pages long, and they have to discuss the play in context and compare it to the present day. You don’t have to let them off easy. That’s a cop-out.
Dack Blog,
I got the impression his hands were tied on that particular task. I don’t know why. I do know that if there were other options that were perhaps more based in literature rather than art he would have taken them.
Pity. You’re right about history – ‘structured’ coursework and exams are going down the multiple choice road. Two of the history teachers in my school are leaving this year to return to their previous professions. There’s no creativity in it anymore.
Dack Blog, my wife used to be a course co-ordinator at an FE college. Her course work had to cover specific “learning objectives” and she could choose the order in which she did certain topics but she still had to provide the course work to meet the exam board requirements.
A friend who is an Evangelical Christian has been told that he faces being fired if he does not tell kids that homosexuality is a valid alternative lifestyle that is every bit as good as the traditional marriage, a viewpoint with which he disagrees vehemently.
The problem is that ZaNu Lie Baaah don’t want a population who can count (have an effective grasp of mathematics) or think (be functionally literate) because such people could see through the lies and other statistics that get pumped out. The quicker ZaNu Lie Baaah get pumped out with the rest of the sewage the better it will be for education.
W Mitty – As a history teacher, teaching both GCSE and A Level, I can indeed confirm that no essays are set in GCSE History Exams. This means, cunningly, that when the kids start A Level History, they need a 6 week crash course in how to write a History essay.
Fucking Labour hoons, couldn’t run a piss up in the proverbial.
McLovin – writing an essay is a cross-curricular skill. Gutting to lose it from history – but aren’t they learning to write essays in English at your school/college? (English depts usually get lumbered with essay technique along with ‘literacy’ – too late for most by the time we get ‘em though – and ‘the library’).
‘The problem is that ZaNu Lie Baaah don’t want a population who can count (have an effective grasp of mathematics) or think (be functionally literate) because such people could see through the lies and other statistics that get pumped out.’
It also becomes easier to overwrite peoples innate intelligence and knowledge with EU Directives. It’s the perfect way to create common purpose people.
What they’ve done – and everyone knows it – is devalued the curriculum, so that the results look superficially good, and New Labour and their Dear Leader, in the finest 1984 tradition, can say how fucking wonderful they are. Like everything else they do, it’s not for the country but for the glory of their party. They hold the public in the deepest of contempt, and lying is routine; indeed they’ve got a whole apparatus set up for the purpose. However, all in the spin in the world won’t save them now.
maister baiter, you are Ed Balls and I claim my £5.
MB, you must be having a laugh! I’m surrounded by bright young things who can’t construct a sentence, let alone bloody spell correctly.
And they have degrees.
I have no degree, didnt go to uni or any type of further education. I left school in 1977 and by then I had discovered that girls (and just) alcohol were better than fractions. However, I got Maths and English ‘O’ level. I bet that even 32 years later I could do the Maths GCSE and could certainly get a good ‘A’ at English. I look at my 16 yr old daughter’s work in any lesson and they don’t even correct spelling mistakes!
MB you are a very poor confused soul. You are unable to discriminate between inputs (lots of money) and outputs (academic success).
New Labour have flung huge amounts of taxpayers money at education but the results have been negligible or a decline. This is typical of the government for the past twelve years. If they are criticised on any topic their stock reply is that the Government has spent more money on it than before. They do not understand that just spending more money – owned by us – on anything without ensuring that value is obtained from that expenditure only results in waste and increased bureaucracy.
Because they are such poor managers they are unable to put measures in place to ensure that any increased funding is well spent and that value is obtained.
Better still let the people keep their own money by lower taxation.
I am a mature student and I find my teenage course-mates to be bereft of even the most basic general knowledge.
More frightening they trot out socialist propaganda without the merest inkling of any conscience. Their mentality is so inculcated with this poison to utter any rebuttal isn’t met with passionate defence but a complete breakdown in their mental process; their is no other way, no other perspective.
What really frightened me was the sub-topics of any course they found interesting. On our early modern history module poor old Gutenberg didn’t get a look in. My teenage chums were more interest in exclusion (the sense of the other!), women’s rights, etc.
If a zoologist sees a chimp shove a stick down a termite hole to fish out the industrious little insects he records it as a notable find. Modern university historians in the same scenario would ignore this triumph of technology over nature and would be more concerned about the chimp’s gender or sexual orientation.
If this approach continues in fifty years time I can see our history ignoring the internet, the MP3 player, etc.
Before 1997 I didn’t understand Nazism. I do now.
Exactly..
I just started a new employee, and had about 35+ applications for one post (five of which were e-mailed from Poland about three hours of the job going up in the job centre).
Easiest way to filter out applicants? Simply bin any forms with spelling mistakes, or illegable hand writing.
That actually left about four applicants, two of which stated their inability to work weekends which was a condition on getting the job. Of the two left, the ex-army guy got it because of the nature of the work is physical, and he had good driving experience (the other guy was two years off retirement, and unable to manage constant heavy lifting).
Haven’t regretted it once. Any problems come up, I only get a call if he can’t physically fix it, or it’s outside his authority.
I also have two guys from various colleges on work experience. My god, they have no hope of employment. One can hardly be bothered to turn up, and the other can’t write anything without using txtspk.
Any employers out there, would be well advised to consider ex-forces. At least some of our tax trains people to think for themselves.
Spot on. We has an ex-army chap run our ASBO unit and it took him 5 years to get broken by the complete crap that is local government – he was fucking brilliant and taught me more about conduct, professionalism, stamina and results than most of the rest put together.
Nor is this nonsense confined to schools.
I worked (an honest job!) for a time with a bloke who had occasionally been incarcerated. During one such occasion he was subjected to an educational improvement session.
He was given a calculator and asked to calculate some simple arithmetic. He gave the correct answer. The trainer said ‘That’s wrong’. He said it was correct. She said ‘it must be wrong, you didn’t use the calculator’. He said ‘I didn’t have to, I did it in my head’. She said ‘it doesn’t count unless you use the calculator’.
I bet they’re rubbing their hands with glee now that a French airliner seems to have gone down with all hands. It’s a good day to bury bad news.
You are braver than me for saying that , but absolutely spot on !
The plane is too French and too full of non-British types to make much impact.
That’s impact in a news sense rather than impact in a spread over the sea bed type of a way.
Bader news? This story has no legs.
Ain’t Concorde, so who but Johnny Frog really cares?
French pâté anyone?
Gribbit!
Probably be a shortage of Brazilian electricians on the Underground now, so the Met will have to pick on some other nationality or tradespersons….
The Penguin
The Queen might of had the SAS capture and hold the plane hostage for a while as a message to SarFrogkzy and his Mafia tart that you don’t mess with Lizzie.
Next we’ll be hearing about fish heads and horses heads being found in the French palace beds.

Goodbye, Darling: it been real.
Ahhhh, Balls!
I can hardly wait to invade more pension funds !!
Ve vill destroy your savings, ja !!
Zen, ve will attack your savings AGAIN until you are totally destroyed !!!
We should talk about none of this administration in the future tense. Yesterdays people, long past their sell by date.
Yes, and I cannot wait to see how they manage to put a positive spin on the results of the elections on Thursday.
” Yes we had a good result – only lost 5000 seats! Just shows that the electorate are right behind us..support for hard working families…reform of expenses….alll started in American etc etc etc…….
That is a very easy one. Why do you think Aunty Beeb and Brown have been spreading concern about the British Nazi Party? If they fail to win a seat, the news will be about Brown having defeated them. If they win a seat the news will be about that seat all day long, with of course lots of coverage of how poor the area is etc etc.
This was an absolutely deliberate attempt to cover up NuLab election failure. Zanu Labour and the British Nazi Party leaflets even look the same and have the same campaign slogan!
I almost fell over laughing at a copy of the “Daily Mirror” the other day which was “exposing” Nick Griffin’s links with far right parties in Europe. Amongst the usual suspects was a certain Gianfranco Fini. The dumb arses at the Mirror didn’t seem to realise that Fini’s party, Alleanza Nazionale, is now part of Silvio Berlusconi’s “People of Freedom Party.” Yes, the same Silvio Berlusconi in whose home the Blairs spent their holidays and who was recently the guest of Gordon Brown.
So it’s wrong for Mr Griffin to have links with Gianfranco Fini (he’s a dangerous Nazi) but it’s okay for Mr Blair’s friend to have him as Minister for Foreign Affairs, then as President of the Chamber of Deputies.
And unlike Mr Griffin, it was okay for the Queen to shake his hand at Buckingham Palace.
Why are the fascists getting so much airtime? Why are al the pundits floating the idea of the BNP making gains and not the greens?
Surely a green protest vote is the only sensible way to go…the icecaps ARE melting…
This is why this big push to both raise their profile and keep them down is so much of an obvious plot it hurts. The Mirror for one wll be only too keen to run with the story about how they helped defeat them. Some Brown lickspittle will be on tv expressing their gratitude to the public for not voting Nazis even though they will not have voted for them.
If they do get a seat that very same lickspittle will be on “empathising” about the poverty in that constituency (they got to find out about it on their expenses paid tv), explaining how only Labour can turn their conditions round.
It stinks and what is becoming the BBC Party stinks even more.
Not in my neck of the woods.
Quote from the Labour garbage for the county council election:

Etc.
Whatever. Substitute the puffing-up of the UKIP mirage for your further denigration of Guido’s bete noire party and your conspiracy theory might grow more legs than a millipede.
Albacore – UKIP if you want to; the lad is not for kippers.
Sorry, BB. Guido disappeared my response to that hours ago.
Seems UKIP is definitely piscine flavour of the month here as, quite rightly, in all the other Establishment mouthpieces.
In any case, I’m sure you wouldn’t believe that I might have cast aspersions on such a fine, upstanding assemblage of gentlepersons which could in no way be likened to a shoal of hottentots.
Nor, of course, might one ever consider them a cat’s-paw of the Lib/Lab/Con trick.
Well, I’m so glad that we cleared that up, although Guido’s blue pencil might again ordain that I’m conversing with myself.
I for one can’t wait for someone of the stature of Eddy Hitler-Balls in No 11.
You serious?
Eddy Hitler-Balls is about as much use as a cardbord condom and about as funny as a bad dose of clap.

‘Will Darling be this bunker’s Claus Von Stauffenberg?’
- no, von Stauffenberg was of Bavarian nobility; Darling’s just a thieving scotch Hunt
Good point.
Can’t agree , Guido / DDS . Darling was born in London-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alistair_Darling
His great-uncle , Sir William Darling , was an Edinburgh MP and Lord Provost , but was elected for a party of a more blue-ish hue than that our Alistair currently serves .
Young Alistair was sent to Loretto School ( how un-proletarian !).
If the man was any better connected he’d be wearing a coronet and ermine !
So he’s a a fake Scot then? He’ss be being measure for the coronet and ermine as I type.
Thieving INCOMPETENT Scottish Hunt – I’m amazed the marxist wanker managed to arrange his claims so expeditiously. He must have had a friend in the fees office!!

Who do you propose, George Osborne, the wall paper hanger?
Ah, now you have shut up and are willing to listen perhaps you will learn something.
What I propose is a coalition government.
As none of the parties have enough quality candidates to make a cabinet my proposal is the only sensible option.
That’s a point – where the fuck is Osborne these days?
well, he was bilderberging with Mandy. I guess he’s lying low and waiting for the Telegraph to do its worst
My constituents are just jealous of the scale of my property empire.

As long as they don’t mistake the exit for the entrance.
Graf von Stauffenberg was a man of strong moral conviction who was increasingly hostile to the regime for years before he was placed in a senior staff position within the Wehrmacht where he could actually get close enough to put a bomb under the man he denounced as the ‘Antichrist’. He was also fully prepared to die for his convictions, and to take the risk against only a very weak hope of success in actually overthrowing the regime, rather than merely killing the worst of the criminals. His memory should not be dishonoured by such comparisons.
Darling et al. would be more like Albert Speer, insiders thoroughly contaminated by the crimes of the regime who could only manage some cowardly half-arsed (and partly self-servingly fictitious) opposition at the very last minute.
… and the useless fucker still put the briefcase on the wrong side of the table leg, saving Hitler’s life.
Not true he placed it correctly but another senior officer unwittingly moved it having accidently kicked it with his leg.
No he did not; do not impugn a very brave man; Brandt, one of his colleagues, moved the briefcase to the other side of the table leg because it was getting in his way. This new position deflected the blast. Be horrible about Gordon Brown et al but not about a truly great man
‘I was only obeying orders’ = ‘I was only doing what the rules allowed’
Nope. Only doing what the rules allows implys they had a choice. Or put another way it’s not like someone was holding a gun to their head.
Very soon though the time will come when they’ll be scuttling around in borrowed clothes, tearing off their old insignia and trying to kid on to anybody that will listen that they were really opposed to Brown/Blair all along but felt they were alone and isolated and couldn’t do anything about the reign of terror.
Which is just about acceptable for the dumb fuckers who come shoving leaflets through your door but entirely unnacceptable from the contemptable bunch that is the entire Labour Parliamentary Party.
Pure, wall-to-wall vermin.
jgm2, vermin are coming across as quite charming creatures compared with what we’ve been subjected to of late. I hope they tear one another to pieces. Can’t wait. Any survivors can be parachuted into Helmand Province and left to fester. No fate too bad, starting with Bliar and Mandletwat.
Not around here.
New Labour activists are extinct.
Darling would be more like Goebbels, i.e. a sycophantic wankstain (sorry Masterbaiter) who basically murdered his kids first to test out the poison for he and his wife.
Darlings English you thick prick. He was born in ENGLAND !
Pass the pistol
Marr yesterday, Toady and Sky today.
No wonder the country’s in a bloody mess – The Great Helsman never does any fucking work, he’s always in a broadcasting studio.
You forgot about GMTV – that bastion of tough investigative journalism and rigorous interviewing.
Brown ‘doing no work’ is a good thing. Look what he managed to ‘achieve’ when nobody was watching him too closely for the 10 years he was chancellor.
Total economic destruction of the UK.
Nope, firefighting low-level expenses idiocy 24/7 is just where we want him. otherwise he’ll be actively fucking up sometyhing much more important.
I agree, keep him busy chaps at the studios across Britain.
Yes your majesty
your word is our command, Ma’am
Good point jgm2. Though I can’t help feeling sorry for that rather nice plain lass with the fab voice from ITV’s trashy talent show. Apparently McMental has rung to cheer her up so I hope the Priory keep a decent suicide watch.
Even though I was made redundant a fortnight ago I’m looking forward to the end of the week. The Speccie reckons that Brown will reshuffle on Friday, partly to distract attention away from the local election results and partly to kybosh the plotters who will (no doubt) come out of the woodwork at last. But as even the most power mad of non-plotters are unlikely to want to go down with the ship they might well decline The Great Nose-Pickers invitation to become a target for flying Nokias.
Yup, Government works best when it does no work at all.
Government IS Force.
Government works best when it sticks to a small amount of nastyness.
When government tries to be nice e.g. “welfare state”, N”H”S it’s a disaster.
It’s for the above reason that quite a lot of people here are minarchists.
I doubt he’d rush to sit on the This Morning sofa though…
not just that, he’s saving the conomy and de housing market and educashun and mps and…ah fukc it, i’ve had enough
Does Darling have it in him to do a Geoffrey Howe?He would have the public behind him and it would allow his exit from public life to be remembered for a brave deed and not for fiddling expenses.
Go on,man.Do the decent thing!
Whatever he does, he’ll be mainly remembered for his badger-head look.
Yeah go on Darling! Do the decent thing and give it them up the pooper!
VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!
Seen on toenail’s blog: The fat lady has sung. The show’s over.
No he won’t do the Howe thing.
If he did it would look as though he were acting purely out of selfish or spiteful motives when he could have done the decent thing some time ago.
It’s not as though MPs are like that, is it?
It’s only a small Bierfest
No.
Because as you mentioned his Expenses have allowed Brown to move in for the kill. Does anyone doubt that Brown and his “star chamber” will be Politically motivated in their deliberations ?
More pithily.
“Keep Quiet chum or I’ll throw you to the dogs over your Expenses.”
Blears will be looking on in horror.
McBride has taught Brown well. The ghost of McBride walks the corriders of No 10.
I think that Brown was the master and McBride was the apprentice
Mc Bride might be gone, but its a sure bet that they are still finding flakes of skin all over the fucking place ?
McBride hasnt gone, Brown as near as admitted it on R4 this morning
Brown (on McBride): “He’s not in government, nor in a position of influence..”
ie he’s still working for the civil service (but not in a governmental position)
Is that Mandelson’s ‘special’ Star Chamber?
I always thought a ‘star chamber’ was a kid’s potty covered in shiny sticky stars…
Alistair Darling was not emploeyed by the mental one for his strength of character or his independent spirit!
Brown chose Darling because he is a mindless yesman droid whose only qualification for the job at No11 was the ability to obey orders without question and to read Browns terrible handwriting.
Brown gives the orders, Brown writes the budgets, Brown gives the orders and Darling obeys like a fucking robot, Darlings whole career has been a toadying party functionary droid, if Darling had an original thought just once in his pathetic life his fucking head would explode!
Spot on; but maybe the glove puppet will bite his hand
“Do the decent thing!”
I don’t mind them doing the decent thing. The problem I have is that MPs would not only claim for the shotgun and cartridges (it would have to be a Purdey of course since the taxpayer is picking up the bill) but we would also have to pick up the funeral costs.
A small price to pay
Do you know how much a Purdey costs?
“Gordon, did you mistakenly mention my name this morning on Toady.
Confused Gordon, not half you half-wit!
Yes, I can clear up politics by dragging you and your lot down into the grave!”
sick.
They offed Robin Cook aswell. His ‘favourite hill’ on one of his ‘favourite walks’…complete bastards.
This really could be the start of the end game. Hope eternal
If Darling goes let’s hope he exercises his right to make a ” Private Statement” in the Commons as did Geoffrey Howe
“The time has come for others to consider their own response to the tragic conflict of loyalties with which I have myself wrestled for perhaps too long.”
Go for it Alistair.Why should you take ALL the blame for Brown’s disastrous management of the economy ?
Darling should not give Brown the pleasure of sacking him, Darling should resign. Brown left the treasury in dire straights, Darling has had a taste of “Brown’s Broken Britain”, everything Brown touches turns to dust.
He’s a fucking idiot if he doesn’t retaliate. Oh, well, so that’s no retaliation….
The Penguin
Better to die once than a hundred times.
Better to die a brave man than a coward.
Though sadly I don’t think you’ll find anything honorable or brave in this cabinet of headless chickens.
And standing up instead of on your knees.
Better to claim expenses in Parliament than to be paid a wage in the real world.
Darling will do nothing. He’ll be angling for a peerage from Brown, and the reshuffle will mean that officially he hasn’t gone in disgrace.
I’ll help DARLING write his book !
Hazel Blears for prime minister and bring back John Prescott as Deputy. You could do worse !
I doubt it !
Take another arfer mo and think.
I thought Darling and Brown were mates from well back? Isn’t Brown Godparent to one of Darling’s sprogs, or the other way about?
If so, and Darling has now waken up to the knowledge as to just how staggeringly useless his mate is/has been, and feels the last vestige of decency squirming within him, he might just see it as a duty to the country and a duty to his mate to get Brown out. Saving both us and Brown from further disaster.
No, on reflection I don’t think so. He’ll take to cash and fuck off.
It is a long time back but my recollection is that there are no godparents vows in the Church of Scotland, just specially selected friends to aid the baptism in a physical sense. I think they need not even be memeber of the Kirk either.
If baptised in open church rather than in a private service, it is the entire congregation who “become” something like the equivalent to godparents by welcoming the child into the congregation and thus assume the responsibility of aiding the baptised.
Anyway, that said, Brown is still a Hunt and completely lacking in any compass, religious, moral or common sense.
Off with his head, by a botched hingin preferably.
“It ain’t over until the fat lady sings” – well, she has now, and Brown is said to be asking after her state of health. Did he by any chance do a Jonah on her before Saturday’s show?
Cyanide pills are needed at No10. Little Hilter and all his gestapo need to go.
Poor old Blondie… (Hitler’s dog). Wonder whether the Browns will test it on the 10 Downing St Bobby instead?
No, probably on Darling.
Did someone call, madam? Although my mummy told me never to take sweeties from older men, I’m afraid when it comes to The Master, it would all be in the line of duty, sir. As long as the Hunt didn’t try to shake my hand. Over.
Well, they can’t test it on me – That Blair Woman had me killed years ago and told everyone I’d gone into retirement….
How many cans of petrol will they need? I will willingly chip in 10 litres. It would have been 11 but the price has gone up 2 pence at Tescos overnight.
Future prediction: Brown Balls and BBQ after Friday melt-down.
No, No !!
Wir fahren gegen Mittel England.
ALL you filthy savers, you middle class entrepreneurs,all you thrifty people who don’t vote Labour. You will all be exterminated by ze bouncing Balls.
Well, well what a surprise.
Gordom always did love Ed Balls and it was just a matter of time before he got the chance to promote him further. So now it seems almost certain that the Unelected One is going to replace that thieving Chancellor with yet another inept idiot who is only to willing toclimb into Gordon’s bed.
Oh Gordon…talk dirty to me!!
Truly disgusting. Thank you very much.
Darling should not carry ANY blame for the economy.
The mess he inherited came from the great leader and it was the great leader who has been interfering and preventing Darling from doing what is necessary to begin to sort things out.
Is there any doubt as to whether or not the new Chancellor will have independence of action or simply be Brown’s puppet?
So how will Brown balance the budget without spending cuts.?
Do tell us before Thursday.
The budget cannot be balanced without spending cuts.
Brown will not make spending cuts and neither will his hand-picked replacement whoever that may be therefore the economy is totally fucked.
Inflation is just waiting around the corner as the true ‘value’ of all those hundreds of billions in government bonds becomes clear to overseas investors as Brown prints another 50bn quid to support the artificial ‘market’ in them.
All Brown can hope to do now is string the big lie along enough and dump the whole shitskrieg in Cameron’s lap before the inevitable happens and then gain political capital by shrieking about ‘Tory cuts’ and ‘Tory inflation’.
In a generation, with the passage of time and as memories fade then the next lot of Drapers and McBrides will be there blaming the whole 2008 – 2013 recession on the Tories.
Spending cuts? are you mad
The Great Leader has already explaind that he has a National Plan to magically increase spending while simultaneousely bringing down debt – ie. Mugabenomics and the printing press
The government will learn that the economy can tell the difference between monetary deflation (non-existent) and credit deflation (massive) and adjust accordingly. They will also find that you CAN’T fix credit deflation with monetary inflation.
If a dead sheep can murder Maggie Thatcher then surely a glove puppet can do the same to the Prime Mentalist.
Its like a pop up toaster saying it would rather not make the toast anymore or a washing machine refusing to wash dirty socks!
Brown could drag Darling naked through the streets and piss up his nose in public and Darling wouldnt utter a word of complaint, Brown could rape his first born and Darling wouldnt utter a word of complaint, why? Because Darling is a mindless robot, the parasite classes are full of party robots with all the independence of door knob.
Darling looks like a robot and talks like a robot, his head would melt if he had an original thought.
He accepted the office – so either he is responsible (alongside but to a lesser degree than Brown) or he took a hugely rewarded job just to line his own pockets in the knowledge he was just a placeman.
In either case, not a lot to be proud of.
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE On twitter the hashtag #GoBro NOW is being used… Repaying money by Darling still leaves the issue of dishonesty in a public office so where is Plod? Or are they all freemasons… or just weefrees? We should be told.
Now GM has filed, watch #GoBro say it started in America and distance himself not only from Darling, GM /Vauxhall Luton but also the world.. he simply does nopt have a clue and clearly without media training support the wierd you tube smile emerged on GMTV worried about SuBo (Susan Boyle- ageing scots hairy wot sings a bit) .
Expect wholesale cabinate cnges post europ/loca govt elections , but wont be enough. General Election NOW methinks
Presumably Jonah’s favourite mouthpiece GMTV will shortly follow suit.
When I got my car tax the other day, I found out that it’d increased since the renewal letter the DVLA had sent me. I wasn’t too happy; I’ve never known a situation where they increase car tax mid-tax-year, let alone mid-month.
Other people at the post office were in the same position, having to find an extra tenner or so from what their DVLA renewal stated, with nobody apart from the post office knowing about it (no update letters sent out to car owners who’d already been sent renewal forms)
I knew that it was going up, but I didn’t realise they’d done it mid-month on an emergency “fuck, we’ve run out of money, get more now from joe public because china won’t loan us anymore and we’ve got nothing left to pay the interest to china with” basis.
Thanks for that.I did the forms for my 85 yr old mother to retax her car and she told me that the Post office needed more money from her.Couldn’t understand it(hoped she was not failing)-forgot we were broke.
Just been seething as I did my online tax-what a bunch
Don’t forget the childish mantra of Labour politicians when caught:
It’s not my fault.
When Darling is ejected, I am betting that it will take approximately 25 seconds into his first interview/speech to say those very words.
Yes. It was an ambiguous ‘system’ that was at fault. And obviously the fees office that accepted his claim – they were at fault too.
Also it wasn’t like he was claiming for duck houses, moat cleaning or pipes under the tennis court [like those bastard Tories - millionaires row - Bullingdon club - Eton toffs]. blah blah … stepping down …blah blah clear name…. blah blah ‘right thing to do’…blah blah
I’ve made £570000 profit on my second home and you lot won’t see a penny of it because I took some nifty financial advice and transferred it into my wife’s name.
Who says I’m not a financial genius.
Gordon, I am divorcing you.
Sarah
And I am keeping the turkey baster.
You won’t see a penny of it either Brown. If Sarah doesn’t divorce you and fuck off with the lot then Cameron hiking interest rates to 10% in a bid to suppport sterling (which you have been ass-fucking for the last two years) will mean that property prices will continue to fall off a cliff.
If you do make 570K tax-free it will be worthless anyway in the same way that 570K is worthless in Zimbabwe. The hyper-inflation you are building into the system in your reckless lie to try and square the circle of out-of-control borrowing and falling tax revenue in order to tip the whole shitheap in Cameron’s lap will destroy asset values and basically the entire economy.
Even more than it already has been destroyed by you.
Some achievement.
You are a spectacularly thick commenter aren’t you.
If there is hyper inflation then irrespective of the causation the effect will be for prices to increase. This will mean that the monetary value of a flat will increase also. Although you may not be able to grasp the fact yourself it is worth noting that consequently most of your comment is meaningless gibberish, which is usual for you but you have outdone your normally low standards on this occasion.
By the way General Motors once the largest corporation in the world has filed for bankruptcy protection today with $172.8 billion in debt.
Hey, I must be doing something right. I’ve picked up Dr Feelgood’s stalker.
Oh, and numpty Labour numberist, remind me how well the asset values of the folk of Zimbabwe are holding up.
Folk with hard currency must be tripping over themselves to buy these ‘bargain’ properties whose asset values have held up against the local currency but are dirt cheap by other’s standards.
Clue: They’re not.
You have the same lack of understanding of the most simple economic facts as the idiot Brown.
Balls is a very bad name for a Chancellor to have! choose someone else Gordon, the papers will have a field day with a name like Balls.
Balls is a bad name full stop ?
It would be better to change it to Mr Scrote or Mr Testicles , or Mr Plums , or Mr Knackers, or go the whole hog and throw caution to the wind… so how does the Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr Bollocks sound ? it fits in neatly with the annual budget report.
Sorted, Mr Bollocksit is then Ed.
That means you could have Yvette Cooper-Bollocks as well!
I den being related to this Ed bloke
Ed WoodBalls, Chancer of The Trashury
Brown-Balls sounds like something a Lib-Dum would enjoy.
No, Peter Fondlebum would be up for a Brown-Balls session any day
If we are to use the correct system, shouldn’t we be reporting MPs for fiddling their expenses via this link:

Told y’all earlier, Darling will go to the Home Office.
Do you mean he is going to sack that nice Jacqui Smith that has had to live in poverty in her sister’s box room?
It is so small the rest of the family cannot fit in her primary secondary, or secondary primary, home. How sad for such a decent public servant and the best Home secretary ever.
I may have mis heard but it swear it was an office at home….
Doesn’t matter where the Hunt goes, he’s still a useless Scotch Hunt.
The Penguin
Is Smith going to Education? She is incredibly stupid, so it would make Zanu sense.
Worse than Balls but it’s marginal………..
Supreme ruler Brown is deserting so many of his acolytes, life is gonna get even more lonely and pointless when the barbarians finally break into the bunker to prise his chewed fingers from the levers of power.
I’ve just has the Labour Election pamphlet arrive with my post.
It has a little coupon on it with an address so that you can write to their election office with your views.
I thought it was worth a first class stamp.
Or post it with no stamp, with a brick attached to it. Let the already-indebted Liebour party pay for the postage
OOOhhhh would that work…. really…???????????????
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, when some cnut sent me a letter with no stamp on it, I had to pay the postage based on weight, plus a pound’s admin fee.
Don’t see why this should be any different for a Liebour party office…..
For added affect, write “Donation Enclosed” on the envelope, and make it as heavy as possible!
A man-hole cover should do the trick
The problem will be they won’t like your views! what will they do then.
Balls for Chancellor. Amusing choice. Brown has a death wish.
But what is Mandy’s exit plan for himself ? Why has he tied himself to this irrevocably sinking ship?
He’s up to something – and you can bet it will be something that benefits him.
Hear hear! The man is pure evil.
He is the quintessential politician.
Mandy is already sorted with a lifetime seat in the House of Lords.
bugger!………..OOPS …. SORRY ….. just slipped out…….
Just slipped out, or just slipped in……??
That’s what my boyfriend’s always saying…
Good mister. That means we got a lifetime of opportunity to stab ‘im up.
Mandelson and a whole raft of soon-to-be-enobled ex-troughers will need to keep loooking over their shoulders, because the whole concept of the PM appointed life peer is likely to be the next target for the reformers.
In Mandy’s case, I’m sure he could learn to live on his meagre pension as a former EU Commissioner.
But Reinaldo has expensive tastes
Listen I have friends like Alain Minc in France
Alain Minc is a survivor
He has only been condemnded for plagiarism and for fraud (wiki)
Orderd to pay a company of Carlo de Benedetti (his ex-partner) € 14 million in 2008 (wiki) etc etc
So I keep good company and Alain “helps” me when I need to buy a Palace
I also know serious Russian oligarchs…with whom I was in contact when I was EU Commissioner…
And many hedge fund and private equity “managers”…(who may not have shut up shop yet !)
So I have plenty of friends…and of course my various UK and EU pensions, pay, allowances etc…even as a simply Member of the House of Lords
And of course I have “friends” in Corfu…!!
But don’t forget, when the whole CRIMINAL NEW LABOUR SCAM FINALLY COLLAPSES (NOT LONG NOW) I WILL BLAME TONY BLAIR AND GORDON BROWN FOR NOT HAVING TAKEN MY ADVICE…
And the British Press will believe me (except foe a few shits!) !!
Not if it’s replaced with a wholly-elected chamber.
Unless he gets elected, that is.
Nell
Interesting you should ask what Mandy is up
Look at thaz atricle in today’s Daily Mail about the
Vauxhall “sale”
Mandelscrum’s old chum OLEG DERIPASKA (of Corfu fame) is a “mover”
behind the Magna/Sberbanp/GAZ buyout of Vauxhall
This Russian oligarch is trhe boss of GAZ which has a car plant already
in Russia…
Mandy was already EU Ciommissioner when this oligarch got permission of sell
aluminium duty free into the EU…..worth only about £ 50 million
He also got a £ 40 million loan from UK government since Mandelson
has been (his own) “Business Secretary” for LDV vans
He has now been told by the LibDems he is in “conflict of interest”
But he still carries on…
He is a SHAMELESS AND CONTINUING FRAUD..
Interesting. Thanks.
Ex-Commie Darling was always intended to be Brown’s fall-guy for the economy (hasn’t quite worked out like Brown hoped it would though). Darling’s always been expendable and his appointment was just marking time, taking the flak, until the economy improved and Balls could be installed. The nutter with the stutter is quite machiavellian really.
If I had done nothing wrong I would repay fuck-all.
(hasn’t quite worked out like Brown hoped it would though).
Was the irony intended? NOTHING he does works out as he expected!!
RUMOUR HAS IT THAT ALL THE LIEBOR FRONT BENCH CARRY CYANIDE PILLS AND BRUIN HAS A REVOLVER AS WELL. I HAVE JUST STACKED THE PETROL CANS AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS. ANYONE GOT A LIGHT??.
Nah, good fellow. Gave up the gaspers when some jobsworth said it was dangerous to one’s health.
I think that this is a serious time for serious people.
Our country is in a terrible mess.
This is not a political issue but one of integrity.
Stephen Hughes one of our MEPs ‘charged’ £42000 to the European Parliament for office rent when he was actually only paying £1600.
That is clearly fraud.
He also pays his Wife £40000 to head up his office(hopefully not ironic) when she is also paid the thick end of £30000 as a Cabinet member of the ruling labour group in Darlington and also more money as a member of the quango, the North East Regional Assembly.
This is just one instance.
There are many more.
These are not misdemeanours, they are acts of criminality.
These people are not funny, they are crooks.
Where are the police in all of this?
Plod will be kept busy soon I’m sure, if the standards committee don’t step in and stop them.
The police are nowhere and that is where they will remain. They are the para-military wing of ZanuLabour and it is all too late. Try emigrating.
We must hope not and must work together to rebuild our sense of society.
People must make complaints to the Police about these fraudsters.
I will be doing so about Stephen Hughes unless he explains to me why this expose does not describe his actions as being fraudulent.
Someone in Elliot Morley’s constituency should do the same – this is claiming money by false pretences and they get away with it because no-one does anything about it except carp.
Let’s fight back and reclaim our public offices and send these people to the prisons they have created.
Yus, sir. Proceed to submit your complaints to your local rozzery, wait five minutes for the howls of laughter and then make off in a sprightly manner before you feel the full force of the law round the backs of your knees, sir. Over.
Damn right!
Agreed, plod is out measuring kids to see that they are the correct height for EU mandated safety seats – seen it in my own town. Useless fucking cnts never there when there is a crime from ‘socially excluded yoofs” but all over the middle class tax payer for no road tax or speeding. Fuck Nu Labour and Fuck the Old Bill too.
Thank God I did – I’ll come back when we have a change of goverment…
Why bother? call me Dave is just labour lite.
Imprisoning huntsmen.
Arresting children for saying that they do not want to be partnered with other children who do not speak their language.
Clubbing newspaper vendors to death.
Shooting “funny looking foreigners”
Covering their numbers up so that they can assault the public with impunity.
Assisting the social services in removing elderly mothers from the care of their children so that they can be put back in a council home and be starved and abused to death.
Yes agreed moley but if you put it in their faces and make their jobs be on the line then they will gladly grab these crooks and put them inside – then we need to deal with the Police thugs who have only taken advantage of the laws Labour gave them.
These cops forgot who they were supposed to serve.
‘ello little girl….want to see my truncheon?
I beg your bloody pardon!
So can I just get this straight?
Eddie Testicles, drinking partner and best buddy of Telegraph editor, wants to be Chancellor.
The week when a “floater” gets into the Funday Times that Broon is considering Edward Bollocks as fit for the role of Chancellor, the Smellygraph kneecaps Darling, just hours before McTwat breaks from the bunker to do the media round.
How very, very, very convenient. Someone to take the fall and an item to steer next weeks bad news into the deep water.
And I thought Gordo had stopped the back-alley tactics – I mean, yesterday he was boasting about how he’s cleaned up British politics.
Doh. I must be mad thinking such silliness.
Marxism is the political philosophy and practice derived from the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marxism is an economic political theory by which law is considered an instrument of oppression and control, and which the ruling class uses against the working class.
Wikipedia…”Before joining the Labour Party at the age of 23 in 1977, Darling was a supporter of the International Marxist Group, the British section of the Trotskyist Fourth International”.
That explains a lot!
And then he became a lawyer!!!
Marxism is an economic political theory by which law is considered an instrument of oppression and control, and which the ruling class uses against the working class.
Yeah, what do we need ‘double jeopardy’, jury trials, Habeus Corpus etc for anyway eh Darling?
When we could all have ID cards. Voluntarily of course. Well, voluntary until they’re compulsory obviously.
When they signed away the death penalty it was naked self-interest again.
wait til you see a picture of the badger in the old days, Hunt then Hunt now
I am constantly amazed how it is permissible to be communist in one’s youth before moving into mainstream politics. If he had been in a fascist group he would never, ever get a clean sheet.
Membership or support of any such extreme ideology indicates very flawed morality and lack of intelligence.
Mandelscum was also a Communist in “her youth” !
Democracy is wasted on the oiks, it is much better that me and my chums take all the difficult decisions without any interference from the underclasses. You know, just like in the good old days of Stalin and Adolf.
Now if you dont mind, I have some young men coming around for afternoon tea and crumpet, toodle pip!
Brown was a Hunt in his youth. Still is.
Let’s hope this brings the lot of them down!
Nope! There’s plenty more digging to be done, doesn’t matter who’s in power.
I would describe Guido as anti-politics rather than anti-Labour, per se – it’s just that with the currrent lot of hoons in power most of the anger is anti-Liebour
Dear Leader on Sky in a few mins.

Gordon Brown phones Cowell to check up on Susan Boyle
“I hope Susan Boyle is OK because she is a really, really nice person and I think she will do well. I spoke to Simon Cowell last night and to Piers Morgan and wanted to be sure that she was OK.
good to see that Gordon is devoting his time to the economy and MPs expenses.
One can only conclude that Jonah has done for the Hairy angel
Does Gordon phone the commanding officers of those hurt in our armed forces serving their country, to make sure that they are K and being looked after?
Does he fuck. Jesus Christ, what has this country sunk too.
Well said. What a mad tosser he is.
Don’t forget that Jonah told us he was not into the Bliar Cult Of Celebrity, same time as he promised to do away with spin. Lying Scotch Gimp.

Bit like Blair’s expenses that got shredded.
Does that mean that there is no point asking more questions about Blair’s expenses then??
I signed it last week and my signature’s disappeared.

McTwat talking to Boulton in Notts just now:
“It’s got to be an open not closed society….”
That’s verging on “Forward not Back!”
And the icing – “It was nothing to do with me.”
Well it wouldn’t be you Jock twat – you’ve just declared yourself Cleaning Woman General!
IT WASNT ME IM NOT TO BLAME I WAS THE CHANCELLOR BUT I MADE NO DECISSION good god has he no shame, the man is delusional he wont believe we hate him even bolton said as much for once he had a go and brown didnt know where to look
did he look shifty when suggesting that brits may have been on the Air France flight
?
…..and did he say David Kelly rather than Christopher Kelly was looking into MP’s expenses ?
I ‘d love to see a replay , but I’m pretty sure thats what our PM said.
must be deep in his soul, the whole WMD thing is playing on his mind, he is under pressure, starting to wobble…..
Abso fuckin lutely he did.
The curse of the innocent dead, is playing on the insane freaks mind.
Good.
scumbags.
Americans can vote for dead politicians… how about David Kelly or someone standing in the name of David Kelly being an independent candidate?
I have my fingers in my ears ……la la la
Fuck that Geoffrey Howe shit, the only way Darling can redeem himself for his own crimes and his thorough complicity in Brown’s crimes is to take out Brown, as many other cabinet members as he can and then turn the gun on himself.
EXACTLY – “The Jonestown Massacre Part 2 – Downing Street Style”
Never mind Darling
So an ancient once said, “Accept the anxieties and
difficulties of this life”. Don’t expect your
practice to be clear of obstacles. Without
hindrances the mind that seeks enlightenment may
be burnt out. So an ancient once said, “Attain
deliverance in disturbances”.
- Zen Master Kyong Ho
[ 1849-1912]
Looks like Darling is to be the scapegoat – or is that scapebadger?
don’t make me your escaped goat
Did anyone clock the look of pure evil that Brown gave Bolton at the end of the interview?
Wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t ask for his wedding present back.
If looks could kill Boulton would be a gonner.
Touche to Boulton-wind the Stalinist bastard up
I wonder if Susan Boyle has a twin room..
Heterosexuals only, please
But like all these pussycat reporters,they never follow up the answer the criminal Brown gives – certainly Boulton was pressing him harder than I have seen him do so – it got to the point that the fraudster Brown actually said he resented the insinuation re; flipping etc.
I had the guts to blow the whistle on my boss at work and he sacked me – I am now unemployed,but you know what – I can hold my head high today,knowing I did WHAT WAS RIGHT.
These reporters don’t have an ounce of guts between them.Fucking let this criminal and his cronies get away Scot free on every interview – disgraceful.
If any reporter reads this,be brave and tell it to his face on a live interview – I will send you a cheque if you get sacked,and I don’t even have a fucking job!
Amen to that.
Of course, said journo would then top themselves/fall off their favourite hill/get cancer/radiation poisoning/or somesuch, no?
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life”.

Not sure if it has already been posted, but here is a link to (part of) the Boulton interview with Brown:
http://blogs.news.sky.com/boultonandco
thanks for the link.
Fuck me – he’s completely lost the plot.
However, the difference between Sky and the BBC in terms of probing questions is astonishing. The BBC hoons really do need to be first up against the wall when the revolution comes

Johnson resigning to take on Brown is about as likely as a bloody first class letter arriving next day !!!!
You are setting your sights too low Guido.
Darling is and always has been just a drone.
Go for the jugular of this mess of corruption and get that incompetent Scottish Snot-eater Brown before he does even more damage to the country.
And make sure he take his entire party with him.
Bolton has just given the Clown Brown a good grilling on Sky re an election, opinion polls, the Queen’s non invite to France and nobodies Darling The Chancer.
I’m getting on with the job said Clown Brown I can’t trust anybody else.
The look Bolton got at the end of the interview frightened me and I live in Spain. It was like a mad man about to commit murder under a full moon.
He should’ve done it mister. Would’ve been headline news.
What with the glass eye or the worst one!
Note the use of the superlative rather than the comparative as i could have said the back eye!
Just saw Emily Thorberry clip from Daily Politics.Meant to be a Farage v Labour ding dong. God she is dreadful. Farage didn’t even have to say anything because she made such a dogs breakfast. But the highlight was Brillo’s new hair! Quite magnificent
The BBC have an interesting Gestalt on their choice of the three Beachy Head suicides as their UK lead story. Perhaps they are expecting more lemmings from Parliament?
That’s not funny. These people may have been driven over the edge by government policies, maybe their business went belly up through red tape and then they couldn’t pay the mortgage, etc?
Guido
Having gone through the TRIBAL PHASE
New Labour are now entering the CANNIBAL PHASE
It is the DEATH WISH being acted out in SLOW MOTION
When will the POISON DWARF STING
WHEN WILL THE BLAIRITES PUBLICLY DISOWN BROWN
When will PLP Constutuency Committees start DE-SELECTING MPs ?
When will Brown’s Dirty Tricks Department (Balls and Co, McBride from his cave etc) starting destroying other Members of the Cabinet (after Darling) ?
When will the Criminal Scottish Labour Party start blackmailing Members as the Chief Whip Brown has already done ?
This is going to be extremely SORDID, DAMAGAING FOR BRITAIN BUT THE INEVITABLE END TO 12 YEARS OF CRIMINAL AND DISGRACEFUL NEW LABOUR RULE …
T
they’re all consumed by hatred and are too busy watching each other to run the country. Labour are in meltdown and there is nothing they can do about it.
But wasn’t the Labour party always like this?
Of course !
Hurrah!
‘and so the cycle begins anew’
Hmmm. Interesting stuff about Darling and Brown. They’re finished anyway.
If anyone really wants a laugh, I implore you to check out Boris Johnson’s piece about Simon Heffer in the Telegraph today. Just hilarious!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5419788/MPs-expenses-Everything-will-be-all-right-when-Simon-Heffer-rides-to-the-rescue.html?state=target#postacomment&postingId=5422223
Darling should go, he is useless, and some of his expense claims are ‘iffy’. But it would be dangerous to Brown to get rid of him, especially to put the odious, and despised Balls into the seat…even the labour party don’t like him, and if you are concerned about dodgy expenses Balls might not be the best person. Darling an do much damage to Brown, but Brown thinks he is above such dangers….that shows how out of touch he is
So here is this fraudster Brown;
“No I am not resigning – I need to get on with the job of saving the world from my own fraudulent 12 year wreckage scheme that I have administered”.
News;
“Gordon Brown has phoned Piers Moron to enquire about the wellbeing of a contestant who came second in a talent show”……
Just give me 1 minute with a baseball bat to take this criminal’s head from his shoulders,just one minute – would I get a knighthood and loads of expenses?
you’re not the only one…
Gordon Brown, like Mugabe, doesn’t like elections. Never held an election as leader of the labour party. Never put himself up to be elected Prime Minster of this country. Only 37% of the people who voted at the last election voted labour any way at the last general election.
What he did do was allow postal votes carte blanche. Just like they do in them banana republics, so the man in the house can take all the womens postal votes in the same house, and fill them in himself. He has even demeaned our democracy and it is no longer one person one vote.
Gordon Brown is a hated man. You are beligerant, rude, uncaring, obnoxious, arrogant and incredibly, not even intelligent but a very able liar.
Labour’s years built on spin and lying, strated off by Blair and Campbell.
WE JUST WANT YOU TO FUCK OFF BACK TO SCOTLAND AND LET US ELECT A BRAND NEW PARLIAMENT AND NOW!
You should be prosecuted for many things including stirring up hatred.
FUCK OFF NOW YOU TOTAL LYING C U N T . BYE
McMental waving his moral compass and telling us all how he is going to save us?
The Hoon has just as much credibility as Ian Brady sending hate mail to Ian Huntley
At least those two have had the decency to try and kill themselves
Brown is showing himself up as the most selfish twat imagineable – he doesn’t care about the country, his colleagues, the wishes of the people, ZILCH – all he cares about is clinging onto power, that’s ALL he cares about – Despicable vile little man
Balls has his sticky little fingerprints all over much of the car-crash of the economy, he was sucking Jonah’s rancid cock at the Treasury even before he was elected as a trough-pig.
The Penguin
Can we not get him on Channel 4 news tonight – Jon Snow must have the guts to say it;
“Gordon Brown – you are useless fraudulent nothing – you are a criminal and a liar – what have you got to say to that you shit?”
Brown;
“As I have said,Jon,I shall set up a committee of stars in their chamber – stars such as Adolf Hitler (I mean Ed Balls),the Porno Queen Smith and other savants to investigate your claims – their report will be finished in 2015 and we shall then report their findings…in the meantime,NO ONE will eject me from my task of totally fucking Britain.”
Is there any face – anywhere in the world – that you would more like to PUNCH than Gordon Brown’s?
mmmm – I thought not…..
Mandelson, Balls, Kinnock and Mark Lawson from Radio 4 would run him very close.
No. Brown looked like he was going to punch Boulton after another total fcuking beasting from the Sky man. Talk about a trainwreck.
http://denverthen.blogspot.com/2009/06/brown-i-know-nothing-about-anything.html
It’s horseshit.
We know it’s horseshit. Journalists know it’s horseshit, Brown knows it’s horseshit.
The Emperor has no clothes. Who has the bollocks to tell him though?
If a handful of MP’s can depose the Speaker, how many would it take to depose Brown?
Stephen Pound
No, not someone who LOOKS like Punch, someone you would LIKE to puch.
Stoopid.
Why limit yourself to a fist?
OR WILL BROWN AND BALLS IN A FINAL FIT OF MADNESS ORDER THE POLICE TO RAID THE OFFICES OF AND ARREST THE SHADOW CABINET ??
LIKE THEY DID BEFORE WITH DAMIEN GREEN WITH THE CRIMINAL CONSPIRATOR GORBALS’ APPROVAL ?
WILL WE SEE THE FINAL BREAKDOWN OF DEMOCRACY IN BRITAIN ??
IT IS NOT FAR OFF….
What democracy are you assuming that is already in place?
I know this is off topic, but has anyone looked at the labour list recently?
I have just taken a quick a look and was amazed at the low number of comments on their blogs the highest was 48, over the weekend.
it appears that even now they themselves are fighting about whether McSuperhoon should go!
Well done Sir Guido keep up the good work!
Maybe we should pay them a visit and make their moderator earn his money, Iam sure hardwidge and co will be pleased to hear from us all. I doubt if Guido will mind us giving them some home truths.
Hmmmmm…. bite dick or log on to Labour list………………..hmmmmm….Hard one…….
Use your left hand, it’s like someone else doing it. so I am told.
Darling Must Go Party
Manifesto : @Darling Must Go@
Membership : 9 including Sophie
Outlook: Good . Tuesday 9 Brown will sack Darling causing Party to disband.
Let’s face it – McMental has no shame or self-awareness about how much is loathed by the public – short of semtex, how are we gonna remove him from office before he steers the entire USS ex-Great Britain down the Black Hole like a crazed Maximilian Schell? Petitions – ignored. Demonstrations – kettled. Emails -vetted by Furherbunker minions.
Then I thought – remember that FHM stunt where they projected Gail Porter’s arse on the House of Commons? Imagine that every night but instead of a nude female bot, you would have “RESIGN YOU Hunt!” or GORDON IS A MORON – or GENERAL ELECTION NOW FFS! or other pithy messages projected on the side of Big Ben.
Maybe how about a slideshow of pictures of pigs in shit or perhaps a looped flash video of Gordon eating his snot on the Front Bench? Imagine being a MP going home every night and groaning at the latest proclamation on the side of the Commons. (Plus as an added extra, BBC Sky news et all all love to use Big Ben in the background).
The possibilities of this form of ‘legal’ public humilation are endless – Mark Thomas and anyone with a fuck-off huge outdoor projector hire business – where are you???
No surprise there -when the fuck does he meet ordinary people? He usually only gets interviewed by media friends and his meetings with the ‘public’ are carefully chosen party members. Apart from that it’s Heads of State, 10 Downing Street staff and the missus.
He has never even risked Question Time which resembled savaging by a dead sheep.
No wonder he is on a different planet.
Of COURSE he hasn’t been on Question Time? How could he, when he has NOTHING to say and can’t string more than two cliches into a sentence. “I’m getting on with the job and doing what’s necessary. I’m getting on with the job and doing what’s necessary. I’m getting on with…..” Oh, shut up and fuck off back north of Hadrian, you utter tosser.
By the way, I assume the delicate hints on another blog that prior to his politically targeted marriage he swung the other way are merely malicious and libellous insults? They are, aren’t they? Aren’t they?
Oh don’t me..
Did he really..?
Like Piggie Bryant you mean !!
Did he wear Y fronts ??
Oh no……!!
With whom ?
This should be hoonignly FUNNY PECULIAR…
Brown is gay – of course the mincer is
Mark Thomas?
When would he attack a fellow socialist?
The left-wing media cartel is the next thing to go. I hope Browns scorched earth plan for Al-Beebya expenses dies it for them too.
Darling won’t do the dirty on Gordon , unlike Hazel Blears , as he is part of the Scottish Mafia .
As for Ed becoming chancellor. Is there a parliamentarian couple who have come out of this with clean hands ?
GB is hanging on for grim death in the hope that something will come up, a week is a long time,etc,and he has no need to call an election for a year. As someone who dreads the prospect of another Tory government,but who has despaired of the Labour party since 1994(!),I still hope he gets lucky. But I’ll be honest with you,if a dog was suffering like that,we’d put it down. It’s becoming like car-crash television
Radio 5 live interview this morning between Rachel Burdun (is that the correct spelling?) and Clegg’s chief of staff. When discussing Captain Darling’s expense claims she made a good fist of defending him. BBC – NO – YOU ARE MEANT TO BE OBJECTIVE. Sorry about the slip into Harry Enfield (no pun intended).
Objective?
Fuck me, why didn’t you tell us.?
I thought it was objectionable.
Now we’ll have to start all over again.
Lol
BBC SPOKESMAN
The next government will not give you the time to turn around
I tell you what we will do
We will break up the BBC, sell of the profitable to bits t
and wind up the rest
You know who we will ask to do it ?
The same City Friends of Criminal Labour who “organised” PFI and “privatisations” for Criminal New Labour
They are such VULTURES they will do it happly…
And then the BBC partisan luvvies will only have Criminal New Labour for their demise !!
Poetic justice I feel…
McMental had another slip of the tongue today – he referred to David Kelly instead of Christopher Kelly.
Those demons sure are piling up, aren’t they you pathetic friendless despot.
You want more democracy?
Easy:
Dissolve Parliament. Call a General Election – I am sure Her Gracious Majesty Queen Elizabeth II can put up with your wierd pouting guppy awfulness one last time.

It’s a shame the Devine story hasn’t got any coverage further south because it is one of the all time classics of Troughgate.

You must be referring to 23 times mortgage claim on a house with no mortgage and the rest of the maxed out claims with no receipts O’Cameron’s fellow one time Eton school boy and well known thickie Bill Wiggin MP (Con) de Frigging in der Rigging.
Don’t forget the feigned outrage in your responses.

Bugger me at breakfast – what a bar bill the drunken Jock must have had. Mind you it’s the first time I’ve seen single malt described as shelving!
Guido,
So what are the details of your bet with Mr Hannan, referred to on his blog?
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/daniel_hannan/blog/2009/06/01/labour_and_the_greens_are_battling_for_fourth_place_in_the_home_counties
Would be fucking hillarous if Labour got none of the seats in the South East though, can’t wait for the count on Sunday
Now Brown is claiming there may be British victims of the AF air crash – yet there is no official word from the F.O., who have supposedly been seeking info all morning. Meantime, Italian media have managed to ascertain that there were 5 Italian victims.
If there aren’t any British dead, what does this say about Brown?
If there are, what does it say about miliband minor at the F.O.?
Didn’t McMental also wish that woman singer well today in her recovery at the Priory?
Poor woman – hasn’t she suffered enough without the one eyed son of manse dooming her further?
Anyway Mcmental, does Scotland have an equivalent to the Priory?
Dissolve Parliament.
I think that you will find that its the “Och-irory”
I want you for a sunbeam.
Susan Boyle is McBroon in drag and I claim my £5.
and coupled with Gormless’s unprompted comments on the fat boyle it neatly relegates darling’s misdermeanors to “other stories”. Truly disgusting.
“Suppurating” Boyle, shurely?
yup – I spotted that one, too. Fucking incompetent twats.
och -irory
At the weekend I received a personal letter from Gordon Brown assuring me that he was going to clean up the political system and introduce practical help for hard-working families in the unlikely event that they find themselves unemployed and unable to meet their mortgage payments which put their homes at risk if they default on them. He did not neglect to point up the glaring contrast with the do nothing Tories.
Recent hysteria over duck ponds and the underground detonation of a nuclear warhead in North Yorkshire will melt away over the next two or three days. Brown and Balls stand like titans surveying the battlefield. They are poised on the redoubt with an irresistible arsenal of policies and initiatives that will come crashing like a panzer division through the Polish forests shattering Cameron’s Potemkin village like matchwood and sending you spotty tory boys scuttling back down your holes.
Do not listen to the backsliders and poltroons who tell you that this country needs an external market for its “goods and services” far less anything as banal as a functioning banking system. For a thousand years before Thatcher came along and wrecked everything this country survived perfectly well as a state-sponsored breeding programme and it can do so again. I am myself the product of a subsidised breeding programme that I patented before I was born.
Oh, my brethen. Let me point you and consecrate you towards a new nobility. Let it henceforth be your honour not whence ye come but whither ye go. The future, not the past. The many, not the few. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips. Labour have more path-finding initiatives than you can shake a stick at. Deal or no deal?
Been standing too long in the sun old chap? Have a lie down in the shade and a cool drink. You’ll feel better.
?
This is a very effective piss take – nice one, fake Charles.
Fail. Too sensible for a real Charlie-boy comment. Try more Tao next time.
charles hawtry
you are sooooo funney , please blogg on june 6th , you have plenty of time to make up a reasoned fictional work , “labour voters dont like sunshine before and election” ” i cant understand why the polling stations were too far away from labour voters ” “there was clear fraud in postal voting as there were not enough of them”
Definite fake. There’s no internet gaming genius or crap about fucking video fidelity or whatever.
Fine going after Darling, but what about super trougher, Miss Piggy Jackboots. Smith was claiming the second home allowance for her family home, when she did not even have a second home, plus she is paying hubby and for his adult entertainment, plus televisions, washing machines, patio heaters, antique fireplaces and the kitchen sink (plus plug)!
It strikes me that several cabinet ministers would find it in their best interests to resign en masse and force a GE. Then they can change the headlines at a stroke and collect their pay-offs rather than be worn down by months of attrition and public shame.
Did anyone just see the Sky interview from Boulton with Brown, car crash tv, Brown looked like he wanted to murder Boulton live on air. Brown is on the precipice of going complete looney tunes. You can see he’s paranoid that everyone’s got it in for him.
I wonder what he said to Boulton afterwards but i bet it consisted of many 4 letter words and the room rather blue.
‘I wonder what he said to Boulton afterwards’
- ‘any chance of a bunk up big boy?’
What license fee?
Is there something I’ve missed?
Car crash TV indeed Sunonmars, he really didn’t like the line of questioning, especially around the 2004 changes to the Ministerial Code.
I think he was expecting the same treatment from Boulton as he got from the GMTV sofa or AlJaBeeba this morning!!
Very sad to think that I’m now praising Sky and criticising the Beeb, a couple of years ago I would have said exactly the opposite…
How will the PM be able to find any honest MPs to do the reshuffle? He can’t even use any of the oppositions either!
Good point. If Brown sacks everyone in his Cabinet who has been pigging in the swill, he will have to sack himself as well – only about two would be left – Alan Johnson and Hilary Benn. Then to find a dozen good and true replacements – he would really have to scrape the barrel. That is why we need a General Election sooner rather than later (by September at the latest).
The only shuffle the PM is capable of at the moment is a five finger one – though I doubt he can even do that properly..
I see the PM is trying to take the heat off the rotten house by talking about the frog crash.
We don’t care about the frog crash; we are waiting for you to call in the police.
When exactly are you going to do that?
The public know how slow government can be trying to bore us into forgetting what has happened but this time you stole money from us.
It will never be forgotten even after those who will surely have to go to jail get released.
So is Dave repaying the £22,000 and just how many houses does he own?
Where is David O’Cameron’s constituency ‘second’ home?
When did he buy it?
How much was the purchase price?
How much did he pay from capital?
How much did he pay from a loan, ie,e what charge was on the property?
How about some proper transparency and accountability?
Will the Con servitude Party’s ‘screw tinny panel van’ disclose these important details?
Or do we have to resort to the land registry?
Daily Telegraph, where are you on this?
It is a good point.
Damaged by you making it.
Shut up idiot.
Ps: I am posting from a mental hospital you know, in case you haven’t guessed. The same one my idol Gordon will be in soon enough. Its especially for single minded loonies with no recognisable social skills!
Too desperate, too late, fuck off.
MB,
Why are you prefixing Cameron’s surname with ” O’ “. I can only assume this is trying to make his name sound Irish and by association that he is somehow mentally deficient or crooked.
‘Jokes’ about the ‘Oirish’ rightly became unacceptable in the 70s. I find this very offensive.
Why do you persist in using racial epithets and slurs in so many of your comments?
Especially as Cameron is a Scottish name.
Your feigned outrage would be slightly creidble if you took your crusade to any other commenter, many of whom are racist and offensive in a variety of ways.
Perhaps you are too stupid?
MB,
I am glad you are acknowledging you use hate, sexist and racist speech.
My dislike is not feigned and (in my actual persona) I frequently engage hate-mongers on other sites. I have criticised others here for anti-Scottish and anti-semitic remarks as well, but you are one of the most frequent offenders.
However, it is not my role to moderate this blog – I refer you to our host if you have complaints about the site in general.
I suggest you desist from using hate speech and then we can debate policies and facts.
I excuse you calling me stupid, that can be put down as a matter of opinion and I’m pefectly happy to engage in banter, but please note ‘crusade’ is an inappropriate term that many in the Muslim community dislike.
Master Baiter, the fact that others on this site may make racist remarks is not a defence.
Please explain why you refer to David Cameron as “O’Cameron”?
Bejabers..
Brown’s presbyterian conscience has got some twisted settings, cos I can’t seem to locate humility and honesty in anything he says…
I can’t take any more of this – I am off to Beachy Head before I explode.

GREEDY MPS HIT THE PENSION JACKPOT
Mr MacKay, a former parliamentary aide to David Cameron, will be able to draw his index-linked £40,000-a-year pension five years before his 65th birthday without losing a penny.
Julie Must Go Now, say campaigners
http://www.stourbridgenews.co.uk/news/4411501.Julie_Must_Go_Now__say_campaigners/
Ms Kirkbride will continue to receive her salary, on top of which she would also get a £32,382 resettlement grant, so she could walk away with another £97,194 of taxpayers’ cash over the next 12 months.
Ms Kirkbride’s MP husband, who is also standing down at the next election, would also continue to pick up his salary over the next year, plus £64,667 resettlement costs – giving him a grand total of £129,532.
The pair also stand to pick up hefty pensions as part of the ‘golden goodbye’ package.

It’s the system. It’s wrong, I have said it’s wrong, and I have said it will be changed for another system at some point. Probably.
I take full responsability……….the person resposible has been sacked.
Quote of the year that one! To be replayed ad infinitum the day the fat Hunt does actually resign
quote at 45″ in…
He’s going to do it. He’s actually going to fucking do it. Chancellor Balls. The inside of his head must look like a fucking train crash.
I have never said this about anyone,but I wish Brown just had a heart attack and died – sorry,but there you go.
A train crash???
When god was giving out brains – Gordon thought he said Trains and asked for a big slow one which runs on steam….
High spirits – might happen to any engine; but to come off the rails, well I ask you! Is it right? Is it decent? …
… But he couldn’t stop himself, and, slithering down the embankment, he settled in a ditch.
He should be shunted into a siding and given a good hiding, Revrand.
Or hide in a siding and be given a good shunting?
O/T Nice one, Lib Dems
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/8077101.stm

They have been at it in my constituency, lying and smearing shamelessly.
That is why they are doomed to perpetual obscurity.
Shit…I’ve posted this too!
I’m a complete ccuunntt.
sorry!!!
Don’t worry Hugh, it’s difficult to keep up here sometimes.
Brown on Sky News – the verbal equivalent of ‘The Black Knight?’
Ah, as I thought: Adam Boulton NOT IMPRESSED with Brown.
Join the fcuking club, mate.
On the 22 July 2006, Boulton married Anji Hunter a former spin doctor to Tony Blair, The wedding was attended by Blair and a number of current and former ministers including David Blunkett, Tessa Jowell and Peter Hain, as well as celebrities like Mick Hucknall. [1]
Was Brown invited?
Evry time I click on yo pur link my pooter shuts down with abortshun.
Your computer must be a socialist
I get the same, only started doing it today, have to ask hardwidge he is an expert at these things, thats if I can catch him off the potty.
It’s your cache memory oi reckon. It’s full up. Blogs use up a lot of temp space v. quickly (especially ones with tons of ripped crap on them like mine). Empty out your cache and all will be well
May the tao be with you.
It’s back to the bunker boys and yet again we see that Hitler has only got one Ball.
Brown making his Ball the Chancellor looks like Caligula and his horse.
I am sure Ed Balls has had a lifetime of testicle jokes, as presumably have every single member of his family for the last fifty generations.
And not one of them thought to change it by deed poll?
It WAS changed by deed poll: it used to be ‘Bollocks’.
They did;- They tried Foot-balls, Rugby- balls, Tennis -balls, golf- balls, billiard- balls, snooker- balls but this generation of Nulab balls decided that the plebs would not go for hyphenated names
The hoons would probably have changed it to Ted Balls.
I trust gordon will be keeping an eye on the ball.
Has a video of Adam Boulton’s interview with Brown been posted on the net?I enjoyed the description of it.
I’m gonna win that picture, lmao.
And in this new clean world will Dave be sorting out the Ashcroft problem?
Probably not – but he’ll still become Prime Minister anyway and the Labour Party will have ceased to exist as McMental continues to blame everyone but himself for the disaster!
God forgive the Labour Party for allowing Brown to become leader because thousands of their supporters are in despair. It’s going to be worse than Stalingrad on Thursday Labour is finished as a viable political party and just like the last days of the third reich everyone in the bunker apart from the very few loyal fanatics know it and are just looking to save themselves from the ensuing carnage.
I wouldn’t be that sure about it although, I hope you are right but they didn’t import the jetsam and floatsam off the world and their dirty tricks into the UK for no reason.
Lord Ashcroft will be leaving nearly ONE BILLION POUNDS TO CHARITY
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article4969301.ece
How much will Labour CVNTS leave ?? An 88p bathplug ? A five pound note on a collection plate ? A couple of porn DVDs ??
Brown: “Alistair Darling has been a great Chancellor and he is doing very well.”
Yvette Cooper: “All decisions about the Cabinet are a matter for the PM.”
Margaret Beckett: “That is a matter for the Prime Minister of the day.”
Harriet Harman: “We don’t know who’s going to stay in government.”
Fucking hoons the lot of them.
Brown wants a “National Council for Democratic Renewal”.Gordon Brown: the man who put the moron into oxymoron.
I look forward with great anticpation to the National Plan which is to be launched after the Euro elections!
I am slightly surprised it took us twelve years to come up with a National Plan, but a new five year National Plan is a good start. At last, something we can measure our achievements by during our next term in office!
I don’t know, your twelve year plan to turn Britain into a basket case on all levels of policy will take some beating.
I really am, you know. Complete and utter.
If Cameron and Darling think paying back the money they’ve misappropriated is going to cleanse them in the electorate’s eyes, they’re insane.
I’d say Cameron’s worse. He’s a fucking millionaire already.
Being leader of the opposition or chancellor shouldn’t make any difference.
Out with ‘em.
There are now a large number of Liebour millionaires, thanks to our taxes.
Yep, I’m jealous too. But everso humble…..
Have you a lot to be humble about, Admiral?
oo arrr…. (hic…….hic……..) pass the flagon……
What, and Darling isn’t?
They’ve both had their snouts in the taxpayers trough long enough to have become multi-millionaires. It’s what they do
Yet another reason why Brown and his fuckin bunch of criminals should go.
This is absolutely frightening.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1190073/Farmer-opposed-traveller-site-branded-racist-council-threatened-prosecution.html
God help this country. It may be too late
I saw this story earlier. Truly disgusting, but all part of the thought control logic of New Labour.
It will take a generation to re-program the civil service and police service and re-instill some common sense and good judgement. Many Labour yes men and woman are going to have to be removed first though.
There is only one party left who is prepared to take this sort of thing on and reverse the whole culture of PC..
What is being done to this gentleman is a total outrage but all the three main parties support this kind of PC gone mad.
Each of them have many many councillors who support the rights of every minority you could find, over the rights of the indigenous British people.
I am voting for this party. Any other vote makes no impact on the establishment and elite at all.
I have real reservations about voting for the party that you are obviously referring to but if the more mainstream politicians fail to respond to legitimate concerns of their electorate, they can hardly be surprised or disappointed if voters support those parties that do respond. Simply calling them “vile and odious” does not address the problem.
A farmer wrote a reasonable and considered letter objecting to plans for a Traveller’s site.
The council wrote to him to warn him that his objections were racist and would be rejected and that if he continued he would be reported to the police.
That letter would have been signed by an individual.
The technique is to attack that individual, not the council.
That individual is himself racist, is guilty of incitement to racial hatred and potentially of wasting police time, and perverting the planning process.
When fighting a bureaucracy always go for the individual who signed the letter. Report them to a different organisation without telling them. If there are grounds, report them to the police.
Most bureaucrats are spineless cowards.
This is the council website for your information.
Conservatives 17 seats Independents 15 liberals 10 so a hung council.
Any one in that area knows what they need to do now
http://www.middevon.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=2051
absolutely disgraceful. I hope they rot in hell
Proves my point.
All three main parties are PC.
All three have no respect for the ordinary indigenous British people.
They come bottom of the list for housing unless single mothers and everything else..
This council is not Labour. It is largely Tory and Lib Dem.
They are all as bad.
Only by giving them a good shock and showing we will not tolerate being treated as the gentleman in this case, a case that is being repeated across Britain. Only when they see the writing on the wall, will anything happen.
Either the unmentionables will do something or the three main parties will have to change.
Hold your nose if need be, but the unmentioables are the only party they are frightened of.
It is obvious what that means.
And your definition would be to vote for a fascist party.
Crawl back in your hole. You are an anti Royalist fascist.
Hell he’s clever (not).
By guessing there maybe Brits on board Gordo has put himself on the BBC News UK page (my home page) as well as Front Page. neat…….
Also a bit sh-tty…….
Mad Gordo’s diary for the last 24 hours makes interesting reading:
Phones Simon Cowell to inquire after health of reality TV participant
Gets savaged by Evan Davies and ridiculed by Niall Ferguson on Radio 4, previously a safe haven for all Labour politicans
Tripped up by Adam Boulton and caught on camera giving him the evil eye
Makes pathetic attempt to divert the news away from his incompetence by speculating about British passengers being on Air France jet (without making any attempt to find out the answer).
All that is left is to intervene in the Archers or EastEnders.
He has lost any tenuous connection he ever had with reality.
Maybe he is greasy haired twat
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/8077101.stm
Off topic (sorry) BUT READ THIS!!!
Superb!
Yes, that is hilarious and one of the election bitch-slaps I’ve seen !!!
Shows how things have deteriorated…..I remember when liberal wasn’t a swearword
Excellent.
“The Express is saying that Mandy is emerging as a potential power broker in the future of the Labour Party amid predictions of meltdown.
A Senior Minister said that disastrous results on Thursday could spark a bid to oust Gordon provided Mandy could be persuaded to act.
A close ally of Mandy’s said he thought he would act if cabinet colleagues persuaded him it was in the clear interests of the party.”
What’s to persuade?? – it’s in everybody’s interest except perhaps Balls who is preening himself ready to be the next Chancellor – to get rid of Gordon.!!
I guess the bigger question is what’s in it for Mandy??
All over by the weekend?
Utter tosh – any story that states mandy has a “close ally” is fabricated…
That chutney ferret is hated by all…..
Just imagine – Balls as Chancellor, Mandy in the Foreign Office and Gordon in No.10 – wouldn’t that be the best comedy fantasy team ever!!
The 3 ‘most-respected’, ‘most-trusted’ politicians in Britain getting on with the job of trashing the country.
Nah. For ‘close ally’ read ‘self’.
Mandy is a labour tribalist-Herbert Morrison’s grandson.His loyalty is to “the movement”.Oddly,if he knifes Brown ,it will be for the good of the party rather than himself.
I agree with bergen
Soonds laike a ten thoosand mile high pile o’ SHITE.
Mandy as caretaker?
The darling / balls story is reminiscent of hte kind of stunt that they used to pull …
This excitement could unhinge me.
a.) Can’t wait to vote
b.) Can’t wait to watch the results come in……
At this rate the G.E. will be an anti-climax……
Surely there must be a Valkyrie plot by Labour MP’s to assassinate Gordon to save the UK and Labour Party from his madness.
Bomb under the cabinet table during a meeting Valkyrie style, Surely with the C4 you can get today it would succeed perfectly.
Maybe they could poison some of his boogies ???
So what are the odds you have given to Dan Hannan for Labour coming fifth in the SE euros then Guido?

Darling, why are you getting away with repaying a charge and not facing one?
@Tricky Dicky says: June 1, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Good point. If Brown sacks everyone in his Cabinet who has been pigging in the swill, he will have to sack himself as well – only about two would be left – Alan Johnson and Hilary Benn.
//
Wouldn’t be so sure about Benn. When the decision was made not to reinforce coastal defences along the coast where he has his farm, somehow HIS land was exempted from this decision.
But I’m VERY important
Son of Benn hasn’t troughed? Really? I thought they all had.
His particular penchant is to fiddle with democracy in other ways.
Google the following: benn, footpath, flood defences, telegraph
Listen attention seeker, if you want a photocopy of my bare arse just ask, okay?
Da no respec in dis country anymo
“Will Darling be this bunker’s Claus Von Stauffenberg?”
Let us hope that either Darling remembers to push the bomb properly across to the Fuhrer’s leg, or that he makes sure that he stays with it. I would hate to see Tom Cruise portraying Alistair Darling.
Cynaide pills are far more effective, this has been proven by history.
A Prayer To The Almighty Snotgobbler.
Oh, please Lord Snottus we pray that you give Mr Bollocks the job as chancellor.
While Darling was innocuous – but useless – Balls will be useless – but repugnant.
His smug school bully face and sneering attitude will be enough to turn any voters stupid enough to still support labour straight into the arms of the tories.
Yea, please, Prime mentalist, before they carry you off kicking and screaming to to the straight-jacket fitting rooms, do this one thing:
Promote testicle man…..and give us another example of how completely out of touch with the public mood you are.

+++NEW IPSOS MORI POLL+++
Labour down to 18 (yes that’s eighteen) percent!!!!!!
Conservatives on 40%
PoliticalBetting have it.
Great news but no General Election announced to date!
Holy massive poll-implosions, batman. Brown trousers time for liebour.
Back of the net, ahhh.
Has nobody realised that the Expenses Scandal has had one very big upside for Cameron and Brown ?
Let us be adults here. The “presbyterian conscious” and “shock” and “unacceptable” handwringing and piety from Brown and Cameron are for those capable of world class naïvité. We can roll knowing eyes because they knew precisely how “honourable” their flock was from the whips office.
And the whips office of both Parties now have a very, VERY large club to wield.
Ambitious Labour Rebels or Emboldened Conservative Eurosceptics can fully expect the phone call go a little like this…
“Your name is at the top of the list of people who the star chamber/scrutiny panel will rake over the hot coals chummy. If you want it moved near the bottom I advise you to show some very vocal support to the Party and your Leader sharpish” *click*
Problem solved. And many SO more phone calls to make.
The whips were apparently stalking the backrooms and bars of the Commons wearing shark-toothed grins of extremly purposeful malice just before the break.
This is why.
“And SO many more phone calls to make.”
That should have been. Sorry.
obvious
Wrong
The Labour Whips in particular should be among the first to go before the Star Chamber…
You think they still have the power fo threaten ?
I think their collars are goign ot be felt by Plod soon frankly…
SO don’t take the conspiracy theory too far please !!
You think this is going to be “fair” ?
Oh dear.
Some of the whips are certainly mired in the shit but you won’t find many turning on them since they hold all the dirt. They on the other hand will still be the “gatekeepers” and they will still keep doing what they are paid to do by whatever means possible. Politics hasn’t suddenly stopped being Politics and those of a dainty disposition are welcome to their illusions about how things are done in the Commons.
Reassuring though that someone thinks it’s all too obvious and the other thinks it’s all a conspiracy. It would seen I have hit the mark.
Sister Goodfeel,
What is the ranking when including travel?
What are the moonlighting earnings?
What is the attendance of the biggest moonlighters?
What is the ranking of the net worth or wealth of MPs.
How does the list indicate if the claims are reasonable or unreasonable.
The biggest element of an MP’s costs are office and staff costs, what is incorrect about spending money on offices and staff? Deprived areas are likely to have more call on MPs’ time and resources than prosperous areas.
What is clear is that questionable Labour claims relate to such things as televisions and terraced houses.
Con servitude claims relate to country piles, gardening and tennis courts.
Which facts to a non plutocrat indicate that the Con servitudes are milking the allowances egregiously when compared to Labour.
Which is the actual point.
Which point will be underlined all the more when MPs’ outside earnings are disclosed after 1 July 2009.
Conservatives 40% (-1%)
Labour 18% (-10%)
Lib Dems 18% (+4%)
Oh dear.
Thank you Comical Ali, ya soft southern bag o’ shite.
Comical Ali was right, he said was that US troops would be burnt in their tanks, lots were.
Lots of Con servitude MPs will be toast.
Perhaps if you are a Mr Bean Pea brain you would be pleased with that.
Alternatively perhaps you are a tepid Mr Bean Pea brain better known as the Untied Kinkdumb Nincumpoop Party?
Oh and why don;t you just swim in the bag you site?
master baiter! your tea’s ready luv.
Thank you for that Roger !!! – I’ve been trying to remember that chap’s name for days now – his utterances are so similar to the one’s that Brown is making now.
Don’t any of you’s Liebore types say we didn’t warn you Brown would be a fucking disaster, because we did.
Yes you are a lot smarter than Brown I give you that but still a crook all the same.
MB, you failed to reply in the right place.
If it concerns you so much, why don’t YOU find the answers and post them on LabourList – bound to find an eager audience among the hordes of true believers gathered there.
However, as a gesture of goodwill, I refer you to this:
http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2009/04/26/mps-second-jobs/
Labour are screwed on this issue too! Hilarious.
The question I am interested in is why you feminize my pseudonym when addressing me. Why would my gender influence the validity of my opinions in any way? Why do you continuously revert to hate speech?
He is obviously going through a gender crisis, poor chap must be awfull for him.
Sister Goodfeel,
Nobody hates you honestly, they do pity your stupidity, which is quite different.
John Redwoods comments on second jobs is pathetic but amusing since his big shot hedge fund job has crumbled, har dee har har. Still at least it frees him from disclosing multi million pay offs for raiding ordinary people’s pension funds and loading up viable companies with unsustainable debts.
You notice he doesn’t once mention his outside earnings, no one is suggesting they are wrong, the point is openness and transparency. Being open about millions earned from crooked and questionable hedge funds means the offers won’t come in.
ahhhh! diddums
And what my dear ignorant Baiter do ypou think of the tax breaks given to private equity dfunds by New labour ?
When Gordon Brown was Chancellor ?
And who is the leading “financier” for Gordon brown ?
Ronnie Cohen of Apax Partners fame…One of the founders of the private equity business !!
Talk about conflict of interest…..
Masterbaiter good to see you on here so late, are you working overtime at the council ?
Please feel free to post as much pish as you wish on here. Every post sinks your beloved party even further. Good day to you sir.
MB,
I’m glad you have taken my advice and gone to a leading Conservative’s blog and had a look at the opinions there. He writes a lot of sensible things.
I appreciate that you didn’t come here to be ‘flipped’ into looking at Conservative material and we aren’t going to turn you into a Conservative overnight, but it’s a start so please persist – you can subscribe and get a mailing from him every day, you will find it rewarding.
I had the privilege of meeting John Redwood when he was giving his spare time to help at Middlesex University one of the most ethnically diverse universities in London. Lots of students from emerging economy countries – especially Africa. A very intelligent man open to helping people from all backgrounds and cultures. That is one of his many outside interests.

Labour have collapsed to a record low of just 18% in a new IPSOS Mori poll this afternoon:
Conservatives 40% (-1%)
Labour 18% (-10%)
Lib Dems 18% (+4%)
This is the lowest polling for Labour for over 80 years and is well below the polling they received even during Micheal Foot’s tenure.
Gordon Brown is the most unpopular and most hated Prime Minister in British history.
Latest poll. Disaster for Brown:
http://politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2009/06/01/labour-down-to-just-18-with-mori/#comments
Fucking superb! Let’s hope they die a painful and permanent death.
Demand for lame duck islands is at a record high.
Every time Brown shows his repulsive mug on TV Labour goes down another 10% in the polls.
Everyone I know detests the odious creep and most people switch over as soon as he comes on.
“Every time Brown shows his repulsive mug on TV Labour goes down another 10% in the polls.”
Funny, the same thing happens when he hides in his bunker.
They are TIED with the LIBS ?????
Wow!
Even Brown, Mandy and the whips may not be able to hold back all the panicking Labour backbenchers who realise their seat is toast if it stays that low.
Even more amusing the Libs will be the ones to call the shots in any embryonic LibLab pact now. Brown being Lorded over by Clegg.
You’ve got to admit that IS pretty funny.
Cameron just has to hold on tight and keep everyone on message now.
I was worried this was a spoof, but:
http://www.ipsos-mori.com/content/home-page-news/new-ipsos-mori-poll-gives-conservatives-a-lead-of-1.ashx
Fantastic!
No doubt Gordon will spin this as a collapse in the Tory vote by 1%
“Will Darling be this bunker’s Claus Von Stauffenberg?”
NO – How can any of the present shower be compared to Von Stauffenberg, a man of hounour and outstanding courage. Attributes which you will find nowhere in the current paliament!
We are lumbered with the worst bunch of self serving pocket liners in history, shysters, whose only true sorrow is at being caught out.
darlings version of von stauffenberg , would be some sort of debt bomb , it goes off and everyones wallet gets emptied and then blames the system .
puzzled by re iteration of star chamber on expenses for all mps , is is making a new parlimentary private CID department responsible to government , be carefull of that one .
adam boulton didnt mess about “IF the PLP think its time??” still no clear answer on why the Queen didnt get invite , i mean its not somthing you forget is it really , mmmmm head of state , put that in maybe pile !!
even osbourne having a go at darling
I think, and I admit I speak as an AS-level student, without the great life experience some of our posters display (MB etc…..NOT), but I would have considered Darling far more like Ernst Rohm – stabbed in the back despite trying to be loyal, just as the final descent into totalitarianism comes about…
stauffenburg was by no means a fall guy – Guido has got his history wrong. Shame, it’s more often his grammar.
Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg to you laddy. Now be off with you to the eastern front.
Since you are grumbling about Guido’s grammar, you should know that c. is usually an abbreviation for circa. What you need for century is capital C without the full stop.
Now get on with your revision.
“Ernst Rohm – stabbed in the back despite trying to be loyal”
Not quite. Think you’d find that Rohm had started considering plans to remove the leader as he, the leader, appeared to be diluting the party’s commitment to the workers.
Don’t worry about Guido. He’s doing his best.
The humunculus millitwat tried out for the Von S role but wasn’t up to it. Perhaps Darling might be seen as something vaguely like Herr Hess.
Brown pland for a Star Chamber has ominous overtones, the last person to institute one of those got his head chopped off by Cromwell & Co.
Just like Bliar, Brown thinks he IS “head of state”. I actually heard, in Washington DC, several years ago, Bliar refer to himself as Head Of State.
There was quite a gossip going on after that inside the Beltway, with the question ” where does that leave the Queen?”
Says it all. Even us yanks know the difference.
By the way Jonah has apparently been calling “two of the judges” of BGT to inquire after the health of Susan Boyle, according to the BBC.
Expect her condition to worsen and any forthcoming CD to bomb.
And I claim herewith the most descriptive new title for the show:
“Britain’s Fucked”
Time on his hands – a perhaps a whole lot more before long.
Darling pays back £700 but refuses to pay back the thousands he claimed in expenses to refurbish several properties and then sell them at a big profit paying no capital gains tax. Most of this time he was living in Downing St and should not have been claiming for any other properties.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5418768/MPs-expenses-How-Alistair-Darling-nominated-four-properties-as-second-home-in-four-years.html
I am getting on with the job and dealing with the big issues such as phoning Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan to enquire after the health of Susan Boyle.
Susan Boyle had a massive tantrum when she didn’t win and is now in a huge sulk.
Remind you of anyone?
Gordon?
SuBo is Scottish isn’t she? Are uncontrollable rages and massive tantrums a scottish trait then?
See also: Alex Ferguson, Sean Connery, the new bloke on Taggart…
Well there you go then – proves the point!
We need to get rid of this man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will take the bastids wid me!!!!!!!!
Labour’s only hope of salvaging some seats is to dump Brown asap and get Johnson in.
No it isn’t. Brown will change the rules/constitution to ensure the Labour project continues.
If that doesn’t work, there’s always the nuclear option.
Talking of which, I have been wondering for DAYS what the “Nuclear option” was that Hazel Blears threatened to use if she were sacked?
Her spokesperson say she “knows where the bodies are buried”.
Where is that? In the basement of Number 10?
The Poison Drawrf will get the sack
BUT she is currently being breifed by the whole Blair clan to do the Howe of all Howes…
She will sink Dirty Tricks Brown within 15 minutes of speaking…
And there is NOTHING that the Smear Unit in No 10 can do to stop it !!
He is fucked whichever way he turns…
BUT he is the only person who does not realise it !!
Quite surreal really.
Just signed an exclusive representation deal with Simon Cowell.
Impersonating a canary.
Broon und Balls are so Foooooooooooooooooooookd.
That Mori poll showing Labour down to a shocking 18% is sensational.
I bet they don’t mention it on BBC.
New Ipsos MORI poll gives Conservatives a lead of 22 points over Labour and the Liberal Democrats
CON 40%(-1) LAB 18%(-10) LIB DEM 18%(-4)
http://www.ipsos-mori.com/content/home-page-news/new-ipsos-mori-poll-gives-conservatives-a-lead-of-1.ashx
Who on earth is dumb enough to think that they’ll be any better?
82% of voters, apparently, think someone else will be better, although they obviously don’t agree who that is. Sounds reasonable to me given the unspeakably shitty record of Brown and his increasingly deranged public appearances. I suspect some of them might go back to Labour if Brown is forced out before he can damage the country further.
Oh, I bet they do!
Brown must have got wind of this and got his “I am not resigning” spiel out for that very reason.
Now that he’s said that on tv the clock is ticking. I give him 2 weeks at most. They always deny they’re going to go right before they go.
What’s sensational is that they’re as high as 18% given the total bollocks they’ve made. It can’t possibly stay that high
How do I get a job working for the National Council for Democratic Renewal, I’m sick of working in the private sector.
No chance, it would have helped if you were an ex cookery teacher, lollipop lady or any other relevant ZaNuLab ministerial qualification.
Sorry – but I really don’t think you would enjoy working in ‘It-can’t-be-done-land’ – or ‘I-hear-what-you-say-land’ it is so so boring and unrewarding.
Unless of course you are a (dis)Honorable MP, Minister or member of the HoL – then you have access to the expense account of your dreams.
The Prime Minsiter said on Sky tv that McBride had apologised and he was sacked. That’s odd – I thought he resigned.
If true, I’m much comforted by this revelation. Sacking someone sends an uncompromising message that behaviour of a particular sort will not be tolerated by the employing organisation. It would show a leadership in control, decisiveness and a clear sense of right and wrong and an unwillingess to compromise and a discipline in the workplace that was clear and fair.
Allowing someone to resign their way out of a situation of this sort on the other hand would be wekaness of the first order; indecisive, not in control, unwilling to send clear messages, unwilling to enforce standards and decency in the workplace.
Funny then that I can cleary recall McBride resigning from his positions rather than ‘was sacked’ as the Prime Minister directly claimed today.
Can someone clear this one up?
Allow me to explain. Cyclops is, like that nauseating poseur and hypocrite, Blair, a compulsive liar. Liars often forget what they said last time they opened their mouths. The unelected Scottish turd is now a desperate liar, under so much pressure he doesn’t know which town he’s speaking from, never mind what his train of thought it. He mentioned poor Dr Kelly’s name in error. He’s losing his grip and hasn’t long to go. Watch and enjoy!
Nobody has established for sure that McBride is actually off the Civil Service payroll – Brown has always used weasel words like ‘removed from his post’. My guess is that he is still being paid, keeping his head down, to stop him running to a publisher or newspaper. His memoirs of life in the Fuhrerbunker would be gripping stuff.
he still works for no 10
Yes Brown lied and not for the first time.
Brown resigned him, a technique invented by John Major.

Dearest Darling being interviewed on Sky at 17:30
Darling, you’ve been fingered.
Did someone call?
Oh yes!
Adam Boulton’s Blog:
But there are still some questions to which I feel Mr Brown did not give a clear answer:
1) If Hazel Blears’ behaviour over her mortgages was in his words “totally unacceptable” why is she still in his cabinet?
2) Why is her behaviour totally unacceptable when Mr Brown has defended other cabinet ministers, including some such as Alistair Darling who have repaid money?
He says it’s to do with avoiding paying tax, but others also organised their affairs to be: “tax efficient”.
Like Ed Miliband on Sunday Live yesterday, Mr Brown became heated when I asked him why the Labour Government changed the rules in 2004 making it permissible for ministers to flip the designation on their homes often, to their apparent financial benefit.
Mr Brown threatened that I had better be able to prove “my allegations”, while denying that he had anything to do with the change, or even knew about it.
To make it clear, I am saying that a rule change was made, and that that had the effect of helping ministers improve their financial position.
I do not have the evidence to prove that the two factors were linked.

Good on you Adam, glad to see someone finally plucking up the courage to prick the bubble of this pretentious bullshit. You really CANNOT allow him to get away with it anymore.
Show me your IP peon then we can discuss it further —fucking proxy brained moron.
from Guess Who
During the Boulton interview Brown said several times that immortal phrase that he has made his own throughout his political career – “It had absolutely nothing to do with me!”
The interview was a total car-wreck. Brown has not one scintilla of credability left. And still he hangs on desperately whilst the Labour Party and the nation goes slowly and excrutiatingly down the pan.
And remember THIS from 2007 – Brown’s booklet “How to scrounge off the state” or is that again “nothing to do with him” ??
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-447205/How-scrounge-State-Gordon-Brown.html
This booklet written by Brown is full of the “integrety” his father taught him I see.
The man is a disgrace .
Entitled Alternative Edinburgh, it provides a revealing insight into his attitudes to the State and the law in its suggestions of ways to live for free.
Alternative Edinburgh” eh….shades of Cape Cod methinks.
It started in Edinburh ye ken !
Labour down to 18%, eh? Spiffing.
And Charles Clarke is waddling into view again, according to the Speccy.
You really couldn’t make it up.
That’s about 7% less idiots than last week isn’t it?
At last, something for McTwat to really boast about.
If there is a 3% margin of error the true support might have been 22% last week and a 18% response might give a support of 21%
… or a rate of 15% …
Quite correct but the news organisations never give you the margin of error on the polls.
Always remember, Brown will have learned well from the Fuhrer’s mistake and have much much thicker sides and top on his solid oak desk.
Apparently Jonah has telephoned two of the Britain’s got Talent judges to ask them to look after Susan Boyle and to wish her well. That’s her fucked then.
“That’s her fucked then.”
I don’t think so.
Darlings giving some cash back apparently.
So that’s all right then. Not!
Too little too late I think.
Took him long enough to finally realise he’s in real trouble.
What did they do, raise his pockets or lengthen his arms?
He’s giving us back a trillion quid? That’s very generous of him.
He can put you in touch with his very dear friends and Bankers in the City for that cash no doubt. Because he’s probably looking for a plum job in the Square Mile to “ease” into right now.
Ha ha. I’ll ease his plum jobs into any opening available, son.
Fnarr! indeed young Finbar. Fnarr in-deeeed.

I’m watching the Darling interview on Sky with Joey Jones . Why does Darling use grey eyeshadow underneath the two badger cut eyebrows dyed maxwell black? Someone must know.
Interestingly on Thursday. polling day the weather forecast is for an 8 degree drop and RAIN, few labour voters can be arsed to go out in the rain…
How long though before a polling slip and a stamped envelope plop through their letterboxes with the Giro!
Mike Smithson on politicalbetting.com has been told unofficially that electoral returning officers are taking a very tough line on postal votes for both euro and local elections and are rejecting up to 1 in 4 for irregularities i,e, incorrect d.o.b etc or the gum on the envelope is faulty and therefore not sticking so therefore again they are being dis-allowed(despite party officials protesing) as they could have been tampered with.
If Labour’s postal vote is going pear-shaped they really ARE fucked !!
http://politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2009/06/01/is-there-a-clamp-down-on-postal-votes-going-on/
I hope the returning officers apply same rigour to all and just the non-labour votes.
It’d make a change. Labour have been the masters of electoral fraud for years. That’s why they have councillors getting banged up for it

How’s this for a first draft of my resignation speech darling?
Mr (or Mzzzz.) stand-in speaker
‘I inherited this shitty mess from my predecessor – the Infamous BrownStainovich – who, allowed to do so by the odious Bliar, – had created the makings of this ghastly situation all on his own, taking over a decade.
I have tried my best – and fiddled a bit – but hey, – who wouldn’t?
Now, I’m being pushed out to make room for a shill who talks, thinks, and is, Bollocks.
And so I go, – the final curtain calls.
And this vile regime will soon, in tatters, be gone.’
How’s that for starters darling?
he could continue by saying ” its a bit like the batsman coming out to the crease to discover the team captain has SOLD the wickets and bats at knockdown prices( along with the Gold)
He could continue like that, but he probably wouldn’t, for the following reasons:
1. The metaphor is a wide (to continue in the cricketing vein), and
2. He is Scotch.
Anyway, it’s a well known fact that it’s the umpires who sell the wickets. Which would mean … I don’t know, the Law Lords. And what turf has been left intact by Peter Hain is also liable to end up as a suburban front lawn, via the same agency.
I like watching metaphors being derailed and rolling down an embankment.
did you see the look gordon brown gave adam bolton when they finished that interview, phwoarr if looks could kill, and that was with one eye, the man has got to go, So, when’s the march to downing street, sod the million that marched iraq war excuse that it dont matter, it will matter trust me, that man is being sheltered from the public by his minders, he’s got to see with his own eye public contempt of him, it will defo send him over the edge, when questioned, he cant reply back, ‘what the public want is me getting on with the job’ some one ‘please’ organise march..if this was a tory government thier would be riots on the streets by now, C’mon lets get him out NOW.
true howcome people riot when the tories screw people over but sit around scratching their arses when labour fuck them over.
Remember its Labour who sign off their Giros !
Mr Broown
The economy has tanked – not my problem guv
The HoC is full of corruption – ditto
You’ve insulted the Queen AND the war vets – ditto
This man really has lost the plot
But as Brown explained -The Queen only HAD to ask and I would have personally got her an invitation from my friend Nicholas. to attend what is basically after all a Franco-American photo-op with myself but if she felt that she wanted to go …………..really it had absolutely nothing to do with me- the decision was taken by the French or possibly the Foreign Office here but no definitely and categorically absolutely nothing to do with me…. I’m just focused on the things that matter for the British People and resign why would I resign ?
I am not amused.
Phillip, tell him to piss on or whatever the phrase is
Gordon upsetting the Queen just when he is at his most unpopular in the country and in his own party was not a smart move. I bet she has never, in her whole reign, had a PM as unpopular as this one!!!!
If some of his cabinet colleagues find the backbone (not likely I admit- but I live in hope) to put together a coup and approach the Queen with an alternative option for PM (Al Johnson) , and one who is prepared to call an early election – Gordon might find she’s happy to support them.
Also Your Maj would you mind throwing a Buck Palace Garden Party for all the D-Day Vets who are going to miss you at this year’s Commemoration because of Gordon’s incompetence?? That would be a slap in the face for Gordon. And the D-Day Vets sure deserve the honour!!!
Easy answer for Her Maj.
Send Harry, in his uniform, to quietly stand amongst the UK veterans. No pre-publicity, just slip him in the ranks.
What better way to show Brown up as a high and might, anti-monarchist, c8nt and remind people just how Labour has abused the armed forces.
Neat idea nut better ensure the lad isn’t armed.
William and Harry – That would be good. And Anne in her uniform in some capacity !!!!!! I like that – let’s embarrass this man.
Darling’s burbling about the rules on R4. Sounds most unconvincing.
SIR- Mr. Earth, sir. You may need to tweak the dial to make it sound more convincing, one should mention.
Yours, letting Mrs. K polish my prize mallet, Col. M.T. Kernel (retd.)
Ahhh…. sage advice Col. Kernel. I thank you Sir.
But I’m afraid if anything the clarity of the reception of the words spoken appears to be reducing their meaningful value even more.
It is most puzzling.
Perhaps I should trade in my crystal set for one of these more modern Japanese models that can decipher fluent Darlingese horseshit ?
SIR- Message received, sir. Perhaps the good folk of Lewes, Sussex, England would like to experiment with ‘the wick effect’ this Autumn, one might hypothesise. I’ve heard, via the grapevine at The Carlton, that Scottish politicians smoulder particularly well.
Yours, rather browned-off with the whole shebang, Col. M.T. Kernel (retd.)
Dear Colonel Kernel
Smouldering politicians have been identified as a health hazard, as the fumes they give off are toxic, especially the Scotch ones.
Any attempt to ignite a politician by an unqualified person is ILLEGAL in the EU and punishable by DEATH.

OK, the penny has just dropped! The only reason GoBro needs to hang on and ‘sort it all out’ is that he has a shedload of remaining dirt The Telegraph may or may not have.
If Cameron takes over, the remaining ‘dirt’ is likely to be discovered say by a pricewaterhouse forensic accountancy team. Under Browns way, he has a short period of time to liberally apply the sticking plasters, shred or bury documents, buy off connected parties (House of Lords melud?) and mitigate any long term personal damage. Out of Number 10, he’ll have no control or power to fudge anything…. Plod may well be feeling his collar…
Yes
The Gordon Brown/Darling/Lord Moonie connection for instance
Lord Moonie is having to apologise to the House of Lords in the recent “cash for legislation” scandal…
Not to speak of the various property deals between them…
Plod should be throwing Police crime scene tape all around Downing Street. The shredders must be working overtime with bonfires in the back garden as we speak !

Well that’s this months excuse, hey but what do I care, my nice ol’ salary of £108,000 plus perks and scams just keeps rolling on in!
To complete the last days of the Reich analogy, Browns plans for giving children the vote ( reducing voting age to 16 ) is analogous to Hitler sending out the children to fight the red army,. Its his last attempt to salvage something from an election. Pathetic and transparent.
There must be another “Downfall” spoof in preparation for Thursday’s Gotterdamerung ? It’s just too good an opportunity miss out on !
Which one of his trusted cabinet will be doing a Himmler and attempting negotiations with enemy behind the furhers back ??
Mandy?
Yep, here is the footage.
Thats the one !
Fuck me, spot the difference:
Fuck me too – watching that child molester and Adolf Hitler next to him talking to those innocent kids scares the hell out of me!
Christ on the cross he is so finished.
Heh hey he even does a little salue as used by you know who at 0.23
Ach Ja!
Ze Association of Labour Students swapping campaigning stories for ze media – who sez campaigning for Nu Liebore is boring – zounds fun zu mir!
Alles together now “Tomorrow Belongs to Me…”
My old man told me the Hitler youth were good fighters. You may not be being fair to the young lads.
My 16 yr old son hates Brown guts – even the teachers at his 6th Form college take the piss out of the criminal Brown!
We all hated teh PM when we were in sixth form whomsoever he may be. And then you get worse at uni and then you get a job and start paying tax. That’s when you suddenly conform.
Whosoever, my dear doctor. Nominative case is taken by “be”. “Whomsoever” is in the accusative.
Fuck know why I bother with this, since 90% of the posters here are illiterate.
… knows … (crappy laptop KBD).
I know, I know, but if you followed Private Eye you would have read Judge Cocklecarrott (or whatsoever he may be called) using this phrase ad nauseum.
By the way Boultons interview with Brown is available on sky news , just press the red button on ur remote. Its well worth watching.
or on the sky website:

House sparrows have returned to my garden after 8 years. Just emailed No.10 and they confirm it was Gordon who persuaded them. You see he really is getting down to the things that matter
Apparently Green Parakeets have also been sighted in Sandwell.
Flocks of Ring-necked Parakeets in Ham and Petersham, Surrey, they strip fruit trees.
First time I saw them I was rather suspicious of the pint I was drinking.
I’ve just seen a flying pink pig.
Oink!
SIR- Yes, sir. We have dodos running wild on the village green here in Little Cockup. Rather large droppings, if I may be so bold as to mention.
Yours, shovel in one hand, mescal and Ribena in another, Col. M.T. Kernel (retd.)
You paint a fine portrait of rural idyll Col. Sir.
I can just heart it spoken of in John Major’s sonorous soothing drone as he paraphrases Orwell…
of old maids bicycling round dodo droppings to Holy Communion, of warm mescal and Ribena and long shadows on cricket grounds.
It transports one does it not ?
If only he hadn’t blotted his copybook with the unfortunate Currie business.
Oh cruel fecund imagination.
Do not attempt to weave that mental picture I beg thee!
SIR- Laughing my ample buttocks off, Mr. Earth, sir. I think one’s mallet might have stood to attention had the Curried One parked her front-bottom on these nicotine-stained whiskers, sir. Oh well, Mrs. K has a way with petunias and while she’s distracted, I may as well knock one out.
Yours, thinking Major may have been the best PM we never had, Col. M.T. Kernel (retd.)
You indeed are a master of the comedic turn of phrase Col. Sir
And if I might in turn be so bold, I was “lolling”, as I believe the young coves refer to it, all the way through your musings. Though the matter of Curries bottom, front or otherwise, is not one I am inclined to dwell on overmuch lest the siezures and palsy begin anew .
Yours, agreeing with your fine and wantonly hilarious assesment of Major and wondering if the time is now perhaps finally ripe for a Major comeback of biblical proportions, Scorched Earth.
BORING!
final warning scorched earth.
you are posting far too often with far too little worth saying.
this is not your hotmail account c’unt.
show some respect for your host and stop abusing his hospitality.
comply or fuck off.
it is up to you.
Piss off back to CBeebies little twat.
Anyone who bleats that we should stop picking on him because he is a “juvenile” shouldn’t be on an adult Political site.
It’s sweet that you managed to work out how to use mummy and daddy’s PC but they will be back soon to make you a nice bowl of Jelly.
Though people do love laughing at your embarrassing twattery.
So keep it up as we all like a bit of clueless comic relief.
You have the comprehension skills of a small runty rhesus monkey with a head injury and wouldn’t know comedy if it smacked you in your twatty little face with a cricket bat.
Eventually you’re going to realise that people here treat you as an even more simple minded Baldrick and are mocking you mercilessly but happily you are so embarrassingly clueless there’s no danger of that just yet.
Thick as thieves is right, you are a bore Scorched Earth and you do post far too often.
hard-working sparrows and parakeets, surely?
Make the Scots get visas for this country. And ban any scot who is an idiot from entering England.
If we had this rule in place then we wouldn’t have had to put up with the tit of PM we have now.
His nationality has nothing to do with it Nigel you stupid thick bigot !
Totally agree. I suspect that they’re just as fed up with him North of the border too !
Oh yes it has!
The Scots kicked out NuLabour from Government some time ago.
Time you guys did the same, huh ?
Yeah, we’ve got enough idiots of our own.
According to Private Eye.
Two sets of books at the treasury now, one with PFI, one without.
It is the elephant in the room, no-one seems to want to notice it.
What price Govt. bonds when the “real” set of books comes out?
Mind you, Darling’s probably got a copy – I wonder if he’d release it – in the public interest of course.
Brown’s fingerprints are all over it.
“Brown’s fingerprints are all over it.”
Yuk.
Better Brown’s fingerprints than brown fingerprints.
And when the Public sees the fees and commissions amounting to tens of millions £ or more that Friends of Criminal New Labour were paid on these PFI deals I really think there will be a revolution…
And they cannot be hidden for ever…Since the borrowings “organised” have to be paid back !!
I havs been trying to tell you here that we have only seen the beginning of this scandal which will wipe Labour out for ever..and land many in jail if Justice is done by the next government (I suspect that many of the Criminal Friends of New Labour will have fled the country by then !)…
Knock it off will you this business of NuLab pals getting lucrative contracts.
I won an open(sort of) tender, £70m, to provide NHS with vaccines.
Thanks to this bonanza I ran a Formula Le Mans racing team and will be entering a car in that event this year.
Thanks to NuLab all my dreams came true.
If you want to know how to fiddle your tax return…..who should you ask?
Troops should be brought back from Afghanistan and give the task of killing Scotch animals. The Scotch are filth. They are all thieves and liars and fraudsters.
The Scotch has always been trash. It is a disgrace the National Socialist Part (Nu Labour) pays for the votes of Scotch filth with English money.
The Scotch are rats and they should be exterminated.
Porridge Oats are ok tho’
Yeah, like whatever.
What about the Scots (not Scotch you ignorant cow) who are currently fighting for the UK out there….
Not all Jocks are like those tits in Westminster…
By all means debate the unfairness of the number of Scots in Government but please do not resort to ill judged and insensitive bollocks. You are a prime example of why women should not have been given the vote – now be a good girl, pour your husband a large drink and cook his dinner…
I like a wee dram of scotch, can’t stand those scotts, mind.
Most of the troops are probaly scots you pig ignorant bigot. And by the way scotch is a drink you fanny !
Will a show ye how tae make a Buck fast?
Stop lookin’ at ma airse!
While you are a pathetic little bigoted twat who needs a good kick up the arse.
errr……I’m related to a number of Scots and a bigger bunch of mean-minded, shit-stirring, Little-Scotland minded bunch of curtain twitchers you couldn’t wish to meet.
Might I refer you to the actions of Brown, Goodwin etc etc?
Perhaps you think the rest of the the UK hasn’t noticed the distinct Scottish theme to the last 12 years of pension-robbing and economy wrecking?
Oh I see so Blears, Smith, Hoon, Balls-cooper, mandleson, Prestcot,Beardie,that no mark who claimed the church donation, are all Scottish are they ?
Brown has stuffed the economy up the arse – we have a structural debt of over £100bn per year – while preaching Scottish thrift.
That’s all we need need to know south of the border – a border that marks rather lower per-head spending to the south.
Oh yeah, and Gorbals….that bloke really did the Scottish brand no end of damage.
Sue Blackhead,
A really stupid comment. People don’t mind edgy humour here, but this has no wit.
Ester Rantzen “world’s greatest expert on expenses and freebies” while at the BBC working in the same department as her husband who headed BBC’s General Features they worked the system. When he died in 2000 it was said at his eulogy that he was ‘a virtuoso at putting in expenses’. read more in evening standard.
Dicks pussies and assholes
That’s conferences for ye!
ABOLISH THE BBC
I don’t want to hear again about these expense fiddlers and fucking little interviewers being paid £ 1 million per year of our money FFS……..
At the time Private Eye consistently drew attention to the fact that husband and wife were not allowed to work in the same department so that there would be no perception of nepotism. But the Rancids were a special case. The Rules only applied to everyone else.
For the first time in my life I am going to vote Labour.
At long last, we have one of our own as PM, who is getting on with the job, and it’s the right thing to do.
Not Flush Just Gordon.
Just three days to go… Would I be right in thinking that the locals will be counted on Thursday night, even though the Europeans will be counted after the continentals casts their votes? That would be quite amusing, stretching out the torture for this rotten government.
The fun and games start soon after, as Labour degenerate into an unelectable rabble squabbling over Gordon’s leadership. Honestly, nobody in their right mind would want to lead Labour after Gordon. It’s not much of an epitaph to a political career, being the shortest-lived leader anyone can remember, is it? Only Gordon wants the job, and as we all know, he’s a bathplug short of an expenses claim as it is.
More interestingly, who will lead Labour after the general election? If Gordon goes, he or she could be their fourth leader in as many years.
No counting until after the cardboard ballot boxes have been stuffed overnight.
Postal votes for sale!
I think you have the nail on the head about why no one in the cabinet will force a leadership election now.
Everyone within Labour knows they are going down big time at the next election. Why elect your next big white hope now, only see him defeated within a year? Demoralising for the troops and all that.
No, much better to wait until Gordon has gone down in flames at the election then elect a brand new leader promising change.
” him” !!!
It?
great WHITE hope?
Rainbow coloured?
They could do worse than putting an English person at the helm. Most of us have had their fill of fucking foreigners fucking fucking about with our country. It feels like we’ve been raped, plundered, pillaged and then shafted again for good measure. I say kill the fuckers and then toss their lifeless bodies over the remains of Hadrian’s Foundations. Good fucking riddance.
You and whose army, you twattish shower of morris dancers DONT have ANY politicos worth the name-youve been ruled by foreigners for yonks!
Now-GET BACK TO YOUR SERFDOMS!
Then , to use a cricketing analogy – they should put in a night watchman – someone who can bring on a General Election , and at least give Labour some credence (admittedly not much), at the GE. Might save them a few seats.
Hmmmmm .
Didn’t Howard have somethin of the night about him ???
Who is there , battin for the Reds , wot could possibly grab us by the tits an say , ‘You are safe wiv me , little gal’ .
They all giv me the fuckin eeby-jeebies – even the blokes !!
Who would want Ed Testes , Peter Bowel-Ferret or Alistair Vermin in charge of an important country ???
Come to think of it ; who’d want them in charge of OUR country ????
Twiddle-sticks to the lot of em . I’m gonna start my own country wivout any born-to-lose nothinks in it .
Be warned x .

The results for the Locals will be Friday and the Euros over the weekend possibly finalised Sunday. (I think and please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)
So it is indeed a whole summer weekend of bad news for Gordie.
I remain to be convinced anyone has the bottle or support in the Cabinet to force Brown to resign. As the rules do not allow for a leadership challenge right now. Gordon also seems limpet like in his blind grim determination to hang on.
But 18% is low enough to start real panic among the backbench ranks for sure.
scorched earth,
you are always wrong you sp@astic!
it is time to take your medication: you are having a manic episode and making a right fucking arse out of yourself by constantly going on and fucking on about what you think is going to happen in the future.
2 points
1) you must be gypsy rose lee reading her crystal ball or maybe reading tea leaves and
2) no-one gives a fuck about what you think you bloody cretin.
you were a single child, right? mummy and daddy gave you all their attention?
well we’re not fucking interested.
you BORING C’UNT!
post less often bore.
Scorched Earth,
Please post more as you might get thick as pigshite to feck orf.
GET A ROOM!
I guess Balls-Cooper will go down with him.
Mandy maybe – why else is he in government now anyway ?
Only Frank Field can claw back some credibility for them short term, but that’s not going to happen.
I’m still concerned that when the Tories do what they need to do regarding cuts (and maybe tax rises) they are going to be very unpoular indeed. Unite will mobilise and there may be cuts/walkouts in support against public sector cuts.
The electorate will have short memories. I fear that NuLabour could rise like a pheonix on the back of the disaster they themselves caused.
I see no option but for Cameron to instigate a very radical strategy indeed.
Schools need to be central to this and getting the state sectors grip off our education. That’ll be the battle area and the very area that will deliver major kudos to the Tories.
Just do it.
Labour and future…how often do you see those two words in a post together?

So it looks like Alasdair Darling will move from being Chancellor with a £1,7,000,000,000,000 economy to look after, to the Home Office, whose budget is just £14,000,000,000.
Well, that’s a relief.
What’s the difference between Brown and Mandleson?
Nothing……………they both suck
What, each other?
Mmmm…roll over sweet-cheeks…my turn

Excellent! Old H does make oi larf.
Why does McTwat wear make up everywhere now – noy just to counteract studio lighting?
And why does he purchase it from a mortician’s supplies outfit? My old Gramps looked to have more life in him than that when he was in his box!
Ha, ha, ha….
Sehr gut seeing ze loveable ‘Old BoreHoon’ manhandled by ze Nu Leibore Gestapo.
Triumph Acclaim!
Have you heard the latest ? When Brown became aware of the expenses scandal (via the pages of the Telegraph) he was absolutely shocked. He thought it was dreadful, appalling, crying out for something to be done therefore he must be the one to do it.
Sorry, didn’t think it was funny the first time round either.
Isn’t there an acknowledged pychiatric term for people who believe they are God’s chosen one to achieve some world shattering task??
An “Icke”?
A Jew?
A Hunt?
18%, will it go any lower? Must be down to labour dependents now.
They are the Labour equivilent of those shaven-headed young chaps in Germany who still go around desecrating Jewish graves. Even though the evidence of that lifestyle choice is seared into the history books they simply cannot conceive that there could be another way of running a country.
But I do think the scales are falling from eyes at a most opportune time. Down from 28% to 18% in a few weeks is it? A collapse in votes of over one third? Equal with the Lib Dems?
Plus all those pissed off returning Tory voters. Plus those who normally never vote but can at least do basic maths?
Time to get the prayer mats out chaps.
Come fourth.
May the fourth be with you.
Or in Labour’s case June fourth be with you.
Brown will spin the disasterous euro result as mid term blues and a protest vote against a Global recession which started in America. He will understand how we feel but will continue to do the right thing to steer us through to the bright sunny uplands blah blah blah
It is approriate that the Euro election takes place around the anniversary of D day. The analogy is not co incidental.
Yep. he can hardly go over to Omaha Beach and attempt to bask in the reflected glory of Obama pbuh while dodging questions about the fucked-up state of the economy back home by blaming the Merkins.
So, obviously, any UK newspaper worth its salt but ideally the BBC should be asking him the question about his woeful election results and the catastrophic stae of the UK finances and economy as often as possible while Obama is in the same frame.
Just so we could see his blood pressure build, his face go crimson, his head explode and his eyes pop out on stalks like some Tom and Jerry cartoon.
Watch for everybody trying to stand as far away from him as possible.
Success isn’t the only thing that politicians regard as contagious.
Failure is an orphan.
I’m surprised it’s that high.
Do all the single mums, quangocrats and the Grauniad advertising department really only make up 18% – or have even some of them now seen the bigger picture?
We’re still weighing up the options.
Don’t forget the BBC and its hangers on.
Do ya fink I should be votin labour then? I wasnent sure. fanks.
From toenails newsblog,
This morning he declared that “I am in the best position to clean up the political system”, just as he insists that he is the man to get Britain out of the deep economic hole it’s in.
“People know”, he went on, “that I’m determined… I work hard… and I get on with the job”. This was a pre-emptive plea to his party ahead of election results which they all expect to be dire.
PEOPLE “KNOW” THAT THEY WANT RID OF HIM.
Mike Smithson,PoliticalBetting.com has another poll due out 10:00pm
Nice to see the BBC sticking up for Darling and McTwat. It’s a minor offence explains the BBC.
So I just what would happen if I fiddled the tax man out of £700?
They woud assume you have been doing it for five years plus the one you owe so that takes it to £4200 then add compound interest on each years £700 debt. When a figure is reached add 30% penalties, there you have it a bill for £10,000 approx. Pay up in 28 days or interest will mount up, the only option left is to try and dissprove their allegations.
Or you could give Mandy one up the bottom I guess.
Brown deserves a bit of questioning in front of
Raving Rolandthat would soon sort him out!
Sorry Guido, I couldn’t wait till Friday as I will be busy stuffing ballot boxes, so I thought I would take the liberty of having my own caption competition with this photo:

We all need a break from this lunatic.
There must be someone out there with a 50 calibre rifle and a telescopic sight that wants to be a hero…
Realistically, the best we can hope for is that Labour poll in single figures on Thursday and Brown dies after swallowing his tongue.
Careful – the Special Patrol Group monitor this blog and will be round – minus ID numbers – to beat you to a pulp,once given the orders by Chancellor Hitler.

Eyebrows is going – to be replaced by a Brown henchman who’s got the Balls to attack everyone’s pension yet again – claiming the money is good for the economy – ignoring the fact that the pensions are intended for living after working age!

CHARITY WILL WIN INDyEND
It’s simpler than that. Pension funds invest in about 60% of the stock market. That is equity capital for business to use to create wealth, and jobs. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs of wealth creation is classic socialist stupidity. All taxing pension funds has done is increase the cost of equity capital for businesses. This is because investors require as a population a certain reward for risk. This reward is the total return, after tax income plus capital gain, from equities. Increasing the tax reduces the return so companies have to pay bigger dividends to sustain the share price as that is a function of the discounted future income of the dividend stream.
Brown is a fucking investment moron what his taxing pensions has done has increase the attractiveness of the alternative type of capital, debt. At the same time he allowed the money supply to get out of hand and held the BoE base rate below market interest rates. Hence a credit boom and an asset bubble in property, but not in equities.
Prat.
Oh well, in about 30 years time – I want him as Chancellor – I’ll no have a pension – but I can borrow my retirement!!
Is EYEBROWS GOING TO THE PRIORY AS WELL ?

MY KINGDOM FOR A ROSE
I fail to understand how Brown could do anything more to make it apparent how mad he is.
I mean, if he went on BBC news bouncing up and down on a space hopper, singing I’m a little teapot, wearing a dress, and blowing raspberries at an invisible fairy, I think the BBC would simply ask him “how many tea bags are in your tea pot?” rather than “why is such a loony moron running our country?”
He’s so obviously completely mad and intent on destroying the country, I just don’t get how he’s survived this long without being gutted by a riot/mob.
Ah, tea…would any one like a cup of Dalgeling with me to remise over that nice Mr McMillan who was such a strong man and natural leader….Many of Mrs Thatchers vitrues…ps is she still avaialble to wipe the floor of that twat who masquerades as one of her successors?….spelling subject to corrction…and I have a GCSE in woodwork…
Seconded. He is bonkers, but in his own particular way. That is he is a tribal vindictive megolomaniac with a one track vendetta to kill the Tories. All he does is anti Tory. No policy is ever brought about for pro UK reasons, they are all enacted for anti Tory reasons. The only reasons he’s sticking aoround now are (1) in case there is an ‘event’ from which he can profit or (2) he is working to leave the country with such a fucking dreadful legacy that the Tories (if they get in) will have such problems that they are either unable to carry though any of their policies or if they do so the consequences for many citizens will be dire.
Personally I reckon he’s on a loser with (2) becasue the citzens on whom those consequences will fall are the 5m or so unemployed state employees who could easily be released to fnd proper wealth creating jobs in the private sector and for whom there is zero private citizen sympathy. And I do not mean teachers, nurses or doctors, but five a day monitors, street camera screen watchers or the hundreds of non-jobs I avoid looking at in the Gruniad.
20 odd percent of voters going with Broon & Co still translates to thousands of complete and utter lunatics. Who are these people? What person, seeing economic collapse around them thinks “you know what, I quite like this, why change?”
Don’t forget the NU LABOUR TRIBAL AREAS – education collapsed there a long time ago – they can’t read or write – poor things…
AND POSTAL VOTES !!
And live on benefits don’t forget ( Much like Mp’s etc). They aren’t going to want to vote Labour out – they might have to go to work like the rest of us !!!!
Chavs don’t vote.
Round up of latest 18% poll for Labour, Sky interview with Brown and did you know that no governing party has ever polled as low as Gordon’s?
plato do you have a link to the entire interview?
He has worked very hard to achieve this position, at leas thats whot he keeps saying, and it wasnae me.
I’ve already watched it – Boulton really hit a very raw nerve when he asked for the reason for the 2nd house rule change that was bought in in 2004.There appears to be an untold story there and I think we would all be interested to know whose bright idea that was considering the the subsequent flippingfest.
Brown however was adamant that he was out of the loop and knew nothing about it but sure as hell somebody did or do expense rules get changed willy nilly by the office boys for the sheer hell of it? I think not.
Watched it and;
Me thinks the man doth protest too much!
He was lying like a cheap Chinese watch

Caller: Hello, is that the Benefit Cheat Hotline?
Call Centre Operator: Yes sir. Can I help you?
Caller: I wish to report a benefit cheat.
Call Centre Operator: Excellent sir. We rely on honest upstanding citizens like you to protect the taxpayer from the horrible people who defraud the taxpayer of thousands of pounds. Can you let me have the details?
Caller: Yes I can. It has come to my attention that someone in receipt of taxpayers’ money has had a change in circumstances and have not reported it to the Social Services, with the result that they are receiving more money than they are entitled to.
Call Centre Operator: A change in circumstances which has not been reported to Social Services? Overpayment of benefit? Hmmm. This sounds like a cut and dry case.
Caller: The cheat involved is Kylie Stupid of Flat 295, 60s Tower Block, Nottingham.
Call Centre Operator: Thank you Sir, that’s all we need. We’ll ensure this little toe rag is suitably punished.
Caller: What sort of punishment is the cheat likely to receive?
Call Centre Operator: Benfits stopped immediately, all overpayments clawed back.
Caller: Is that all?
Call Centre Operator: Oh and the cheat can expect a lengthy jail sentence and to have her children taken into care.
Caller: Quite right. Am I in line for any sort of reward?
Call Centre Operator: Yes, you could well be, Sir.

Gordon, oh Gordon you’ve taken us for fools.
You lied about Prudence and your ‘Golden Rules’.
You plundered our pensions and decimated our savings,
We’re fed up of listening to your ‘global’ ravings.
Blair claimed you’re a genius; he lied to us too.
The ‘British’ economy is in deep doggy-doo.
‘No booms, no busts !’ you used to shout out.
That was all hubris, of that there’s no doubt.
You bang on and on about your Presbyterian daddy,
Born a son of the manse and raised in Kircaldy.
Now how would he regard you, with disgust or with pride ?
Seeing you’ve got friends such as Draper and McBride
You say your ‘moral compass’ isn’t pointed toward sleaze,
But what about Darling, McNulty,Malik,Moran, Smith and Blears ?
Of the Top Twenty Troughing MPs, NuLabour’s got SIXTEEN !
Sir, your Cabinet is rotten – you’re nowt but a has-been.
Now,if you’d like us to show a scintilla of affection,
Screw up some courage, CALL A GENERAL ELECTION !
Excellent! Bravo. Thankyou.
Thank you. Feel free to plagiarise; perhaps we should get this laminated and handed out as a ‘Pledge Card’ to the 22% of voters who STILL think New Labour deserve an ‘X’ of the ballot paper !

The following from PB :
“I’ve been getting reports, which by their very nature have to be unofficial, that in many places the officers running Thursday’s elections are taking a very tough line on postal votes which are currently being received and verified.
In several local authority areas the number of reject ballots is running at more than one in four. A common reason is that voters have not filled in their date of birth correctly – a measure that’s been introduced to cut down on voter fraud.
Another more tricky case is a local authority where the gum on the return envelopes it sent out is not sticking properly. The result is that when ballots arrived they are having to be rejected because the rule is that the envelopes have had to be sealed properly to prevent tampering.
When party officials monitoring the count have tried to intervene saying that it’s the envelopes that are the problem they been told that there’s nothing that can be done. If there is a sticking problem then it’s the responsibility voters to ensure that their ballots are returned in a proper manner.
Quite how this will impact on the outcome I do not know – but it does appear that those in charge of running elections are heeding the advice of the Electoral Commission to ensure that things are in order.
The massive expansion of postal voting has been pushed forward by Labour against the advice of many involved in managing the process and I suppose that what we are seeing is a manifestation of that.
Mike Smithson.”
Well, well, well, who would have thought it? And they mock the elections in Zimbabwe.

+++ GEOFF HOON TO REPAY CASH ++++
Geoff Hoon has said he will repay £384 according to Sky News.
More later..
You’re havin’ a larf!
Not in the slightest……..
Good is it not?……….
What !! Hoon the Hoon has got a property portfolio to rival the Duke of Westminster and he’s going to pay back HOW MUCH ??? £ 384 ??!!!
Steady on there, don’t do yourself a mischief, you complete CVNT !!
Cabinet minister Geoff Hoon has denied any wrongdoing in claiming parliamentary expenses for the upkeep of his Derbyshire home.
According to newspaper reports he has claimed more than £75,000 to pay interest on, and furnish, the house over the past four years when the real cost is allegedly around half that.
Speaking on Sky News, Mr Hoon, Leader of the Commons, did not deny the claim but insisted he did everything “in accordance with the rules”.
Commons regulations allow him to claim outgoings on mortgage interest payments, council tax, electricity, gas, repairs and decoration.
“I’ve made absolutely clear that I claim expenses, as indeed do all other Members of Parliament, in accordance with the rules,” he told the Sunday Live programme.
“I followed the rules meticulously and scrupulously and I will continue to do so.”
Asked why he claimed £72,000 while outgoings on his Derbyshire home were around £35,000, Mr Hoon said: “I’m not going into details. I follow the rules.”
According to the Sunday Times, Mr Hoon claimed £75,119 over four years for his second home in Derbyshire.

Troughing since 2002?
Yeah, but aren’t Sky being a bit, er, cheap selling 3 year old news as, er, NEWS ?
lessons shall be learnt from this current incident in 2006.
Yep, troughing since about 2001/2
October 22, 2004
CABINET ministers with official government residences have been claiming tens of thousands of pounds from a Commons allowance designed to help MPs to pay for second homes.
The Cabinet last year claimed a total of £287,240 in additional costs allowance for MPs staying overnight away from the main home. Over the past three years, payments of £43,029 have been received by Tony Blair, £57,066 by John Prescott, £43,178 by Gordon Brown, £54,755 by David Blunkett, £50,176 by Margaret Beckett and £54,217 by Geoff Hoon. All have free use of government residences, although some still prefer to live in private accommodation.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article497459.ece
It looks like serious organised troughing started in Westminster around 2000/2001, this is the first report I can find in The Times:
December 20, 2002
Tory MP will repay £90,000
A Conservative MP has agreed to repay more than £90,000 after a mix-up over accommodation expenses.
Michael Trend, the MP for Windsor, was reported to have claimed thousands of pounds in allowances intended to finance London accommodation for MPs from distant constituencies, despite regularly commuting just 25 miles from the capital to his home.
In a letter sent to Archie Cameron, director of operations at the House of Commons, the MP apologised for what he said had been a genuine misunderstanding.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article803984.ece
————
Note the well worn excuses still being rolled out more than seven years later!
What this says to me is the all MP’s expenses for the last decade must be published on the internet IN FULL AND UNREDACTED.
If you trawl through The Times back issues it is quite clear that there has been a long running and highly organised conspiracy by MP’s to defraud the public on a truly epic scale, totalling perhaps hundreds of millions of pounds.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF POUNDS OF EXPENSES OVER THE TEN YEAR PERIOD
PROBABLY ABOUT 30% ILLEGAL
THESE EXPENSES SUDDENLY EXPLODED, SURPRISE SURPISE, AFTER THE “ELECTION’ OF SPEAKER GORBALS MARTIN – IMPOSED BY GORDON BROWN IN PERSON -
BOTH GORBALS AND BROWN KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AS SPEAKER AND CHANCELLOR – THEY WERE PART AND PARTY TO IT – AS WAS BLAIR
THIS WAS A CLEAR CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO PILLAGE BRITAIN – WAY BEYOND SIMPLE THEFT
HISTORIANS ARE ALREADY WORKING ON HOW THIS HAPPENED
BUT WE KNOW ALREADY
THERE HAS BEEN A TOTAL BREAKDOWN IN DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW IN BRITAIN
IT CONTINUES……. THE CPS AND THE POLICE ARE NOW SILENT – IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LARGEST THEFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS BRITAIN HAS EVER SEEN
BUT ITS STRETCHES FAR AND WIDE INTO QUANGOS, PFI AND THE VULTURES THAT HAVE MADE HUNDREDS OF MILLION OF £ OUT OF RCRIMINAL LABOUR’S PROSTITUTING OF BRITAIN ,
NOT TO SPEAK OF LOCAL AUTHOIRITIES AND GOVERNMENET CONTRACTS SOLD BY LABOUR’S FRIENDS (CALLED PUBLIC RELATIONS FIRMS) TO THE BEST CORRUPTERS
THIS IS A HUGE JOB TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER BUT WE ALREADY HAVE A MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE OF THE TOTAL AND DELIBERATE CORRUPTION OF BRITAIN SINCE CRIMINAL NEW LABOUR TOOK OFFIE IN 1997
WE MUST STRIVE NOW TO EXPOSE IT ALL AND SEND THEM TO JAIL
WE CAN WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE GREAT BRITISH PEOPLE…
>THERE HAS BEEN A TOTAL BREAKDOWN IN DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW IN BRITAIN
I absolutely agree with that. The extent of the fraud is mind blowing.
The sheer size and scale of the fraud, the calculated manner in which it has been carried out, the methods used and the similarity of the excuses all show that this is a highly organised and carefully executed criminal conspiracy involving hundreds of public servants over the last decade.
This CANNOT be allowed to go unexamined by prosecutors any longer.
All MP’s expenses for the last decade must be published on the internet IN FULL AND UNREDACTED.
* Update
I have written to Ann Widdecombe today requesting that if she is elected speaker that she will ensure that Parliament complies with the request I have made below:
All MP’s expenses for the last decade must be published on the internet IN FULL AND UNREDACTED.
I will post her reply here if and when I receive it.
People are moaning that MPs made money out of rising house prices.
If house prices had dropped would anybody be complaining that MPs lost money?
Indeed many MPs would have bought houses recently have lost money.
Be consistent.
Hurts, but undenieable………..:(
Don’t be so silly; they would have declared the Capital Loss on their Tax Returns and offset that against Capital Gains and STILL have been on a nice little earner. Oh, the bill for tax advice ??? Er, down to the Taxpayer, ya mug !!
The mistake is in taxpayers funding MP’s speculation on the value of housing. In truth I would not have cared if MP’s had lost money in this way – in practice they would only lose if they had to sell up (perhaps after losing their seat), but presumably some would have chosen to let the property out and cover their mortgage costs that way. If they need a second home for some other purpose, well that is their look out not ours.
Let’s stop this sympathy thing from growing – the MPs deserve all the derision they get.
Parliament sat by whilst McMental inflated the money supply and set interest rates lower than market rates. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that that policy will result in an asset price bubble, most likely in property in the UK with its bias against taxes on land, so the MP’s knew that they were on a double bubble taxpayer funded winner. Anyway if they had ended up in negative equity you can betcha they’d've found a way to scam paying for it off us.
Did they have an incentive to keep house prices and interest rates at reasonable levels. Would they have opposed legislation on principle when they were gaining from it?
They had every incentive to inflate the housing bubble by voting for policies designed to boost house prices. They succeeded – at least until the market got so overblown that the bust became inevitable. You may notice that some of the canny ones actually got out close to the top – CGT bills at 40% rates, not 18%, not being paid.
Susan Boyle says she is fine and just keeping the bed warm for Gordon somebody
Now don’t push your luck……..
PR sucks more than Mandy!……. (not Rice-Davie. I wish….)

What an utter arsehole.
Brown’s gonna move Darling from Treasury to the home office, so from nicking the money from the till to be in charge of prosecuting thieves, thats one hell of a change.
Total Hilarity.
the mind boggles…but things are so bad now, and yet he still hangs on. is this government ever going to go? i feel like i’m in a dictatorship. it seems that they can literally do whatever they want and stay in their jobs! Where’s the fucking accountability?????????? I JUST WANT TO SHOUT AT SOMEONE!!!!
Gulp! (Dives for cover….)
Glass of wine about now would be good. Only Gordon shouts.
To be fair, John Major did the the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending the ‘One Eyed’. I could go on a rant but life is too short.
AM John Major was never this low – even the rats in the ship are diving for cover!!!!!!!!!!
This week – Car Crash Elections Thurday – D-Day Events at the weekend -, with the Queen snubbed and America and Canada trying to retrieve the situation-
Hoon and Darling on front page of the Telegraph tomorrow having ‘double claimed on 2nd homes in error’ – Gordon scared witless that the Telegraph has got information on his expenses and is about to publish. And on and on……
And still this pathetic man keeps ramming his moral compass down our throat and telling us he is ‘ the best man for the job’
Keep your knickers on Nell! I’m on your side, Im just trying to be honest and not biased.
I know AM – sorry!!! – just going for my 2nd glass of wine. Labour sinking beneath the waves. Cheers!!!
Cheers Nell.

Using ‘Estuary English’ as Blair used to do in order to fool the electorate that he was ‘ a regula’ sor’ a guy’ ?
Next, Gormless Friendless Gordon will try and gurn, ‘Am I bovvvered ?’
‘Is this face bovvvered’
Pass the sick bucket when you’ve emptied it, please.
Labour’s biggest enemy is Labour.
The Tories and Lib Dem’s have nothing on the split that is becoming ever so obvious within the government.
And Labour have only themselves to blame for being so greedy and spendful with other peoples money.

Another easy way to fraudulently affect the vote is for corrupt officials to take advantage of unused votes and cast them for whomsoever they wish by proxy near to the end or after voting has ceased. To prevent this one must vote late in the day and ask to see tha register and check that your vote hasn’t already been cast.
***BREAKING NEWS*** from Washington…..Whitehouse to ensure invitation is extended to our Queen for D Day commemorations.
Stick that up your hole gobrown with your ‘if a member of the Royal Family wants to go I will make it happen’. what the f**k did gobrown want, the Queen to ring him and say ‘please sir mr pm brown could one get one an invitation’ grrr just the mere mention of gobrown’s name, his voice, everything about him makes me so angry, my top lip is constantly turned up in a sneer even writing this.
I know exactly how you feel old chap. If it helps, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Personally I have not been able to look and listen at the same time to the man for more then 5 seconds at a time, without desperately wanting to smash the family TV with whatever is at hand, for well over 10 years. About twelve, come to think about it.
I am only surprised how it is so many still can. This includes people who seem to hate and despise the creep even more them myself. Mind you these people are seriously into S&M. Therefore maybe it makes perfect sense.
There seems to be a lot of people into that sort of thing these days, I WONDER WHY?
here’s a stapler – try stapling it your lower chin. It works ask Gordo.
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/01/white-house-seeks-a-proper-invitation-for-the-queen/
So, if HM The Q is present at the D Day commemoration, it will be no thanks to her own Prime Minister. What has happened to our country in the last 12 years? Gordon Brown must be a Trot.
LOL Obama showed Gordon up as a prize twat, Gordon will be throwing his toys out of the pram now and wondering how Obama could betray such a ‘staunch ally’ in the socialist crusdade.
It all finished in America…
In the Adam Boulton interview The ‘One Eyed’ intimated that it wasn’t his fault but that of the ‘Sarko’.
This will be Michelle’s doing.

Of course Her Maj has nothing better to do than sit around buck house all day waiting for invitations from that US Presidential Hoon. He, McSnot and Frogspawn are all too late her diary is booked 20 months in advance .

This economy was designed to crash.
Kamakaze kites were originally designed to be used just like any other.
No, this economy was/is designed more like a Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka, which was deliberately designed to suicidally crash, right from its very conception.
Not only that, these two have para-shoots unlike many of the rest of us, in many forms. Including an index linked gold plated tax payer funded. non-means tested pension, and an incredibly overpaid, non-job somewhere at Morgan Stanly to look forward to.

Cold gravel? You were loocky! All we ‘ad was mud, an’ thowt usselves blessed, an’ all!
Mud! You had mud? Eeee, Luxury.
When I say gravel, what I meant were sand – sand mixed wi’t broken glass.
Sand n glass? You were lucky…
We ad to get up in’t middle oot night, half an hour afore ye went tae bed, fill in reams o’ forms – just to claim a lousy 80k a year in tax free expenses!
Sand n glass? Luxury!
Snow, Boulton et al ask Darling abour repaying his flat service overcharge but nothing about repaying his Accountancy costs. The questions sound as though they were written by Central Office
What about his f’ing CGT bill?
Just watched Gordon talking to Adam Boulton.
Enlightening interview.
Gordon believes that ‘cleaning up politics’ and ‘curing our economic woes’ before he calls an election, are the two issues that will allow him and his ego to exit office next year covered with glory.
This is not about what’s best for the country or what’s best for the Labour Party. All his actions now are tailored to what will save Gordon’s face.
Enlightening? Frightening, more like. The man is totally deluded. Good ship Britain has a loonie at the helm and is being steered straight into an ocean of shit.
This fella with the eyebrows. Gone bonkers apparently. Sent to a clinic after some sort of sing-song. Knew no good would come of it. Damned vote-fiddling commies. Cold steel, that’s what they need.
Where’s that glass of port? Had it a moment ago, damned if I can find it again.
Look with how much esteem Gordon’s Govt is held in other parts of the world,.
National Post -Canada – re- The Queen snubbed by Brown and not invited to D-Day.
“Does Britain have the most inept Government in the Western World? How dumb do you have to be when your government is hanging by a thread to thoroughly annoy the Queen?”
Canadian Blog response: “PM Harper escorting the Queen to D-Day Events is a great idea! I’m not surprised the Brits didn’t invite the Queen. I suspect they will issue an apology to the Germans for fighting Hitler”
How low are we brought in our international standing by this shambolic Brown??
But what an embarassment to Brown if she decided to attend on the strength of American and Canadian government support.
Yes please Ma-am – you should go under the USA and Canadian banner. Brown will be toast.
low very very low..grr
Does Britain have the most inept Government in the Western World?
Probably.
HM will not go now unless Boroon is removed.
It would be awesome though for the Queen to be flanked by Harper and Obama walking down the aisle together with Gordon and Sarkozy slithering and sulking away in the background.
Awesome yes!! But entirely appropriate .
She is after all the Queen of Canada too. And they also had thousands of men in Normandy that day , and gave thousands of lives.
Yes Ma-am. Gordon doesn’t want you to be there representing our fathers, brothers, uncles, great uncles and grandfathers . Because he wants to be Head of State hopefully reflecting in some of Obama’s glory. If you go, he thinks you will push him into 2nd place.
We think if you go ,in the company of Harper and Obama, you will be there for our ancestors and for the Canadians, and they will all salute you and abhor Brown, which we want.
Please go with Harper and Obama.
I hope she will go as the guest of Canada and the USA – and her presence will completely embarrass Brown who will already have been trashed at the polls on Thursday.
If she is not there I hope the veterans who will march past him will turn their heads away and refuse to salute him.
Our national press should make sure they record the moment. And if they don’t then individual digital cameras and YouTube should do it for them.
Excellent suggestion. In fact rather than turning their heads, they should give Snotty the salute popularised by Churchill. Though this time the meaning won’t be “Victory”.
So get on with it then Lizzie
You are quite right.
If the Queen accepts the American inspired invitation it would be as good as her and the Americans telling Brown to go fuck himself.
The very fact that the Americans are entering the fray suggests that they are concerned about the drift over here and want to see some stability restored by the removal of Brown.
As diplomatic niceties go it doesn’t get much more serious than this. Britain is being treated as if we were Pakistan, a valuable but highly unstable ally that needs propping up.
How very embarrassing for both the Queen and us.

Or is £5000 a thousand times as bad as a £5 remembrance donation ?
We shouldn’t know the price of everything and the cost of nothing.
Brown is incapable of cleaning a small flat, so what chance has he got cleaning up Parliament?
THAT’S the kind of question these useless reporters should put to the criminal Brown
It’s amusing to think Brown, Balls and Darling have gone bonkers, but it’s not a good idea to give these cold calculating bastards an excuse
The expenses saga gives a clue as to how Government has been working, by nudge-nudge wink-wink under-the table-payments to keep the troops in line.
After 12 years, almost every MP has been bought.
The Labour party can’t even muster a small posse to enter the bunker and oust these idiots. So as far as B, B & D are concerned, at Westminster, it’s business as usual. As for public opinion, that can be bought too, for far less than the annual MPs expense bill.
It’s the politics of fear, and it’s Labour MPs who are the rabbits in the headlights
After 12 years, almost every MP has been bought.
Can I add to the list: -
Every senior officer in the Met
The CPS
The judiciary
The civil service
The education system
The health service
The Charity System
The Quango’s
I could go on but Mrs Twizzle wants to see her e-mails. Sorry!
The biggest danger is if Brown is removed after the Euro elections. I’m sure Labour support will begin to stabilise and improve if this happens. So for now until he has to call an election, he’s best in place. So he’s our biggest asset!
Agreed. Keep him at the helm as he leads his faithful into Armageddon.

So Cameron isn’t getting drawn into where he’ll come up with 5 billion and, for Labour this is big news? I’m a bit more worried about where Gordon is going to come up with 200bn (this year alone) if I’m honest.
That’s the obvious riposte when ever any of these Labour fuckwits get into a swoon over a 5bn ‘unfunded’ tax cut.
Explain again how you’re planning to pay off the 200bn quid you’re borrowing this year.
They’re turning on Brown now on Labourlost. Hilarious.
Labour are so very fooked, dodgy, ‘weighted’ (fiddled) Independent polls notwithstanding.
Brown’s only hope it to sign up the couple of hundred retards who post on this blog to handle his online campaign
Have you put your name forward?

White House working on D-Day invite for Queen
1 hour ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) — The White House said Monday it was working with organizers of next weekend’s D-Day 65th anniversary commemorations to secure an invitation for Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II.
Did we have an invitation from the French 65 years ago? Does Her Majesty require one now?
Too late the damage is done.
Broon and Sarkozy you pair of chancers, in a couple of years you’ll be forgotten.
Two very calculated fingers up to Gordon Brown there.
He can’t even organise an invite for own fucking Queen for fuck’s sake.
What IS going on??
As usual,the septics turn up late and steal the all the glory!
Don’t forget it’s not his choice of Sovereign.
As a Presbyterian, would he not have supported a Prince over the water.
Apparently the Auld Alliance is still a reality.
Any chance we could stop the worm from getting back in to Olde Anglande, since this ghastly Grendel has wrought so much misery upon we Anglanders.
Where is St George now we need him to destroy this monster. I don’t think ‘Call me Dave’s going to do it, do you ?
Dave’s just sent me a flyer that asks me to Vote for Change.
Jesu, How pathetic. Change to What ?
It will be fucking outstanding if the yanks (or Canajun’s eh?) invite Queenie. It looks like while Gordon is using his position to get photos for his album and autobiography and trying to get in the same frame as Obama that Obama quite likes the idea of having a piccy of himself with the queen.
For his album.
As Brown so cattily put it ‘He has only to ask’.
Do fuck off Brown.
If the British veterans refuse to acknowledge Brown it will finish him. it will be his Caucescau moment. Let them look away and let the world see them acting for all of us.
If HM ain’t there you can be sure he’ll be treated with absolute disdain by the veterans for she is one of them.
That Her Majesty the Queen is being treated like a political football by two odious little shites is inforgiveable. A begrudging belated invitation will not wash.
Has anyone been snubbed to a party and when the host finds out you’re miffed says oh, er, would you like to come? Of course you say no.
Fuck ‘em Your Majesty…
…with all due respect.
Dr M – if the vets give the Churchillian salute then it will be the most enjoyable moment of my life.
Brilliant idea,simply brilliant – no need for banners,marches,riots – simple let these TRULY brave men turn their back on him.
Is there a direct ferry link between Le Havre and Scotland,cos this shit will need to take it.
Just saw toenails on news at 10 on pravda interviewing the thieving badger.
“You look upset by all this…..”
What a crawling disgrace to journalism – we pay a tax for this level of brown nosing.
In the process of getting rid of MPs, can we break up the Beeb and get rid of a few zanulabour luvvies too?
I always switch over whenever Rick Nobinson appears on TV now. He’s such a grovelling little shit, it’s embarrassing.
Some of the responses on Toenails’ blog about this interview are worth a read: no sympathy for handling of expenses or the Treasury.

“There’s one last thing that I should mention that I love about Great Britain, and that is the Queen,” Obama said. “I’m very much looking forward to meeting her for the first time later this evening. And as you might imagine, Michelle has been really thinking that through because I think in the imagination of people throughout America, I think what the Queen stands for and her decency and her civility, what she represents, that’s very important.”

Paxo is currently kicking several shades of brown stuff out of Harmen
Well that quite intense. Are the BBC growing a pair at long last? Sunday mornings stab from the prime metalist have anything to do with this perhaps?
Maybe the bbc may be finally getting it.
Maybe they’ve realised they may be going down with them.
I hope her constituents are watching. What a bumbling, silly cow. How in the name of Susan Boyle can they believe their interests best served by a clown like her?
Perhaps she thinks this applies to the whole Cabinet including herself:
http://page.politicshome.com/uk/harman_we_dont_know_whos_going_to_stay_in_government_after_scandal.html
Was it because Mcfuckwit told the jug eared twat that all public bodies would have their expenses published.
I watched the interview of GB by Adam Boulton on the Sky News video in total amazement.Was this the Prime Minister of our country? His jaw was constantly doing the thing we all hate and in his answers on the most contentious issues he looked away from Boulton. When it came to the question of the change in ACA of 2004, which enabled MPs to “flip”, he was in with his denial of knowledge before the question was even asked! That is usually seen as an admission of complicity by experienced interrogators. His Cabinet colleagues must be hanging their heads; not in shame, but wonderment.
In the same way that most people watching Susan Boyle on saturday night realised there was a bit of a “problem”, with her fixed expression, glazed eyes and inappropriate poses, so too do we see Snotgobbler as a man who sorely needs a spell in the priory. About a year.
Noting how he referred to Sir Christopher Kelly as ‘David Kelly’, Brown has just revealed his subsconscious intentions. I hope the former is going to keep away from the woods until his report is published.
Hattie on Newsnight – what a floundering incompetent Hunt
Agreed in spades.
Watching Paxo trying to summarize her performance was one of the funniest bits of TV I’ve seen in a long time.
It was priceless- couldn’t work out whether it was contrived or he decided mid-flight that he just couldn’t be bothered to read the autocue. For sure his acting is improving; the last shot away to him during one of her rambling non-answers had every human emotion rolled into a single expression. Disbelief, contempt, irritation, impatience and the merest hint of guilt that gave the perfomance an elegiac quality. Perhaps method or maybe not acting at all.
She showed as much fight as Darling but was definitely the worst interviewee ever from the gate.
They all look as though they are about to throw in the towel very soon, and may already have done so in cabinet. Perhaps after witnessing Brown hang himself on Boulton this afternoon. How coukd he not have known about the decision to change the rules on 2nd homes designation in 2004. “I had nothing to do with that decision, i don’t know anything about it” He was chancellor for chrissake. It was a lie- could be the one that nails him.
o/t. Strange dynamic between Crick and Paxo during their studio 2way. Perhaps they had row. Think Paxo won.
Cockroach Wars
Who cares. One cockroach topples another as they scurry about the dung heap.
Unfortunately as they go about their malevolent business they’re destroying the futures of millions , but then this is what socialists and Labour Governments do, especially those with Presbyterian consciences.
It’s difficult to feel sorry for those who voted Labour into power three times and are about to be engulfed by the coming catastrophe, because yea verily did they bring it upon themselves, but it is criminal that youngsters whose life futures are being ruined were not responsible for the election of these Stalinist monsters.
So far this Labour educated generation, with multiple A* Super Plus Star grades in everything but reality, have not realised that they have been right royally stuffed for life in order to pay for Socialism. But they aren’t half going to be angry when they do find out.
One could hope that one good outcome of the Blair-Brown-Balls Reich therefore might be that the word Labour could be a term of loathing for the next 100 years.
But who am I kidding, in reality any disaffection will last until the next bunch of charlatans promise ‘Things can only get better’. After all, most Russians still think of Stalin as kindly Uncle Jo.
Most Labourites think of him as a role model.
After all, most Russians still think of Stalin as kindly Uncle Jo.
No they don’t.
Uncle Joe was a a Western epiphet during the War. Stalin hated it and nobody in the Soviet Union referred to him or understood him in this manner.
Some older Russians, and not nearly so many as you suppose, certainly not “most”, hark back to their days as a superpower which were delivered by the Georgian Stalin with the bones of 20 million Russians. Most Russians were not born in the Soviet Union and really don’t want it back, Putin excepting.
Ed Balls “you are the freakiest blinker goodbye”
What does the DT have on Gordon and his property relationship with a Peer in the House of Lords ????
I am intrigued!!! Are the DT going to publish before Thursday???
I know Gordon is virtually invisible apart from today when he was pretending to be a Kamikaze pilot.
But where is Sarah ? Does she still exist??? I suspect not.!!!
Night . God Bless.
Darling’s a better chancellor than we all thought. Everyone was of the opinion that he’d have no end of trouble raising £200bn per year or whatever – he wasn’t troubled – no problem. At least – not his problem. No wonder blinky has the twitch.
They’ve only got to keep the big lie on the road for another 12 months, printing money and juggling their credit cards around and they can tip the whole world of shite they’ve created into somebody elses lap.
Which is self-evidently the strategy they’re going for.
Move over Darling and stop touching my Balls, your hands are cold.
Mr Darling has denied claiming for two properties at once, but agreed to repay £350 saying:
“I’m sorry about that, I unreservedly apologise. It shouldn’t have happened.”
So everyone…next time you are fined by Inland Revenue you now know precisely the line to take. Or to avoid such investigation do you have to be a Labour party member….and an MP……and a member of the cabinet…..and the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
I only ask…….
Hoon is a hoon.

Lord Mandelson is under attack over a deal that could see some production at Vauxhall moved to a Russian firm controlled by one of his close friends.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1189925/Mandelson-accused-Vauxhall-stitch-amid-fears-car-jobs-lost-Russia.html
No doubt this will be the top story for the next week on the BBC.
Carandgate?
Will the fraud Mandelscum have to resign for the THIRD time for dirty dealings ?
He is totally shameless this man…what a disgrace to his grandfather who was honest…
But I suppose there is no much other Criminal New labout shit going on that no one will notice this one…
But he is still liable for prosecution on many other fronts…not the least because of his surpirsing admission that the Expenses Fraud “has been going on for such a long time” (quote of last last weekend)…proving that he and other Criminall New Labour leaders were aware and knowingly (with Speaker Gorbals) deliberately perverted the course of justice by pursuing the blocking of publication through the Courts of Law until the Lord Chief Justice overturned their obscene claims……
His trial will make one of the better Courts case when we get a new Goverment…and an independent Police force and CPS….
Just one more to consider…

this will be his downfall
harriet was on news night getting rub down with past staements house bricks , you beastly man paxman , setting about the cousin of the duchess of longford like this , we need equality , looked to me like harriet was trying very hard not to go off message , London labour mafia are having to make ousting decision !!!
Still as express calms everyones nerves with an article about “secret plans” to ditch the pound for the euro , caesars wife finds the article David milliband on why the conservatives are “nuts” wonderfully juxtapositioned .For as david milliband says “it is in the labour constitution ensure that power is not just with the few but given to as many people as possible” .Caesars wife thinks quite so david but if that is the case , why have you not given us a referendum on the lisbon treaty , or is it yet again another example of the wrong sort of democracy . As a matter of fact david millibands article is so good (in a sort of soviet era way) i will frame it , a criticism of position that is held more in the sphere of referendum than any other position , and he attacks the slight euro sceptic stance of the conservatives , as being somehow not what the rest of europe wants and that europe continues to see the uk as the equivalent of belgiums “manki piss” statue , brazenly in full public view a small child urinating into a small recepticle only for it to be recycled .
for the foreign secretary to produce such a work of journalism , has me worried , what next , “if you made the north sea disappear we would not notice any difference” or perhaps ” only the falkands are safe in europe and that fact that we didnt help last time was a joke” or even “the uks fishing grounds have been decimated because all the uk fisherman have eaten them all ”
As obama thinks “hey we should invite the uks head of state” , still no admission from jock department of airbrushed european history , that they did not even ask buckingham palace , or what reply they had .
MI5: The story of brownsters missing millions of tax payer money and the , PR companies that vet the companies in return for propoganda , will i hope be a very good trial , although must reinstate hanging on the statute books with retropsective implimentaion, before trials begin, soon get the squealers wanting to communte sentence to life .
As you may know MI5 billions has been shifted about on complex but unaudited routes into friends pockets , i still want to know what these debts are in the banks we own .
impression of gordon brown so far this week apart from caliguals horse is “see ma ime top of the world ” , i think adam boulton quite upset him .
Caesar’s Wife
I still love you…
Of course you are right about “billions have been shifted on complex but unaudited routes into friends pockets”….
I have the names and the routes, as many others do..
The systematic millaginf of Britain will be disclosed in all its horror at the right moment…
And all hell will break loose in the Criminal Labour Party and Hampstead…(among other places)…
The real story has been copied and stored outside of the jurisduition of silly tyrannical UK courts..Only a question of time now…and you are right again..many of the traces are in UK nationalised banks….. The criminals did not forssee that…pretty amateur frankly…
This is going to be fun Caeras’s Wife..believe me……
There is a huge time bomb waiting for Criminal New Labour way beyond what has already been disclosed..
I am writng this from outside of UK jurisdiction as well…Guido can tell you that… from my IP address…
So rest assured, my lady, and God Bless…
More tomorrow…
Richard Littlejohn’s made up interview with Gordon Brown
“Prime Minister, for the past 12 years you have lived virtually free-of-charge in a grace-and-favour flat in Downing Street. Why were you claiming second-home allowance on a property five minutes’ walk from the Palace of Westminster?’
‘What people want me to do is get on with the job . . .’
‘Actually, what people want is a General Election, but we’ll come back to that. You spent thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money on that property, even splitting the cost of a new kitchen over two accounting periods to claim the maximum available…’
‘Look, I’m disgusted and that’s why we are setting up a National Committee on Constitutional Renewal. . .’
‘Why have you now put that flat in your wife’s name? Is it to avoid Capital Gains Tax when you come to sell it?’
‘Appalled, angry, Presbyterian conscience, moral compass, Gentlemen’s Club…’
‘Why have you flipped your second home to your house in Scotland and renovated that at taxpayers’ expense, too?’
‘My father was a Church of Scotland minister. . .’
‘Do you regret selling Britain’s gold reserves at car-boot sale prices, now that it’s risen to over $950 an ounce?’
‘I was brought up in a family where integrity and telling the truth. . .’
‘Then why don’t you just answer the bloody question?’
‘This is a global financial crisis, which began in America. I am getting on with the job…’
‘Prime Minister, go away.’ ”

See Hoon is the next one in the frame this morning. But best of all, as I sit here with my first cup of tea, I see Obama is all over the news making arrangements to get the Queen to the D-Day Commemorations.
What joy – doesn’t Gordon look silly now??!! Oh and of course it’s Tuesday so this is Gordon’s day for tea with the Queen. Oh to be a fly on the wall!!
I wonder if Obama will send AirForceOne? After all Gordon will need the RAF planes set aside for Govt/Royal use for himself and his very important contingent.
Morning Folks – going to be another good day.
Whatever your personal feelings about Obama this shows, yet again, that Gordon and his PR Numptys aren’t on the same planet!
I was at a friends birthday bash last week when his young son came up and told me that Gordon had visited his school and he’d met him.
I told him to go and wash his hands…
NewLabour – making a meal of it at the trough:

Darling was a fall guy for Broon even before he got the job. If he can’t see that he’s galactically stupid and deserves to be chancellor.

I caught some of the Andrew Marr show on Sunday. Specifically the part where Marr put the hypothetical proposition to Brown that if it was shown that Browns continued position as leader would lead to a devastating wipeout of Labour in any forthcoming elections, then in that situation Brown should resign or step aside.
The correct answer from anyone who believed that their party, for the benefit of the country, was the best to lead parliament would have been a simple “Yes”. Thereby showing that they placed the needs of the party before themselves, and the good of the country above all. Any piss-poor politician could then defuse the answer by saying “, but I don’t believe that is the case.” and pretty much come away smelling of roses. “Simples”
Of course Brown just said “No, I’m getting on with the job!”
What a Cnute!
The mistake was made unknown to me by my officials and when it was drawn to my attention I corrected it.
Oh yes.
