Country Before Party
There comes a point when party interest and national interest conflict. Inside Tory HQ there are many praying that Gordon Brown survives next week and that Alan Johnson does not find the courage to oust Brown. They know that at the General Election the scale of the Tory victory will be greater if they face Gordon Brown, a discredited Prime Minister, than if they faced a new Prime Minister enjoying a honeymoon. That is putting their party interest before the national interest.
Around the cabinet table sit the only people who can rid the country of a Prime Minister completely incapable of getting us out of the economic mess we are in. Brown’s solution to a debt crisis is more government debt, his dividing lines are about politics, not economic imperatives in the national interest. The expenses crisis has obscured headlines about the dire state of the national finances, but Britain is in a really perilous state. The members of the cabinet who prefer to cling onto their party’s grip on government (and their perks) for another year by keeping Gordon Brown in place and delaying the inevitable, need to examine their consciences. Put the national interest before party interest, the country is crying out for change.
Polls show that Labour Party activists and voters have no confidence in Gordon Brown, dispatching him sooner rather than later might actually improve the standing of the Labour Party. There would of course need to be a General Election after Gordon went. That is what the public want, that would be in the national interest, it might even be in the best interests of the Labour Party…
Ex Tory MP Shaun Woodward is now Gordon’s main defender on the airwaves.
Says it all really.
Bye bye Gordon.
Rantzen should stand against Woodward (her former tea-boy). Whoever wins or loses, That’s life!
Woody seems to think that the taxpayer should pay for his 7th house, rather than just his 2nd. Should be an easy target for the funny-shaped-veggie presenter.
Surely, surely: “It’s all over for Gordon now”.
Our unelected Prime Minister is clearly fucking deaf as well as nearly blind. He doesn’t hear the criticism, he doesn’t listen to the advice, and he keeps plodding on, head down, oblivious to the cabbages and excrement being rained down on him from all quarters.
Gordon is not going to go voluntarily, so he has got to be dragged away and put somewhere nice and secure, where he can no longer hurt himself or others.
Come along, it’s for your own good, dearie.
Don’t count your chickens
@Masterbaiter.
Too late. I’ve got 14. Some might have to go soon, because I don’t want more than one Cockerel.
Do you want some eggs?
Stupid clucker.
He’s getting on with the job. This is a global problem with global solutions. You just don’t ubderstand, he’s doing everything in his power to fix it and none of it is his fault; its a global problem and he’s just getting on with the job…….
The line that Labour bankrupted the country is not working and the reality penny will drop even for dimwits like you.
Consider the following, in the US General Motors has filed for bankruptcy with debts of 190 billion dollars, US home repossessions since 1 January 2009 total more than one million.
Add to that the fact that the fallout is just beginning and even you will realise it’s a new world, Cameron and Osborne are the wrong people to deal with it.
It is in the interests of the country that Labour are wiped out for good. It is therefore in the interests of the country that Brown limps on in the short term.
It all started in America
This is no time for a novice
They are the do nothing party
THE WORLD IS NOTICING & NOT LAUGHING
http://www.canada.com/news/world/scandal+holds+lesson/1649696/story.html
“I recently came back from a vacation in the U. K. …………..the British public insists on better. It’s as simple as that. They don’t feel they deserve such sleazy behaviour from their elected representatives, and dammit, they’re prepared to throw the os out.
Over pints and a lengthy conversation about the topic one evening, a much better question was thrown back in my face: why did I think this was “just another” scandal in the first place? After all, it wasn’t the facts or background I didn’t understand, but the hysteric outrage. But really, how should the British public react if not with hysteric outrage? Why is there such a thing as “just another” scandal, anyway? On what planet should that be considered normal or good enough? Why was I cynical enough to accept this as business as usual?
People really do deserve the government they get. From its utter and thorough rejection of corruption, THE BRITISH PUBLIC IS DEMONSTRATING THEY DESERVE A BETTER ONE. I wish I could say the same for Canadians……….”.Maclean Kay is a Calgary writer.

This is no time for pussy-fannying about, and letting the Labour Party get its act together with some smiling unknown chappie. We should all wish for what is worst for the Labour Party, for ever, and have it get its head kicked in.
That means Gordon ideally should stay on, increasingly crippled. at least until rioting workers storm Westmonster, burning things and blowing stuff up, while demanding a dissolution – the Queen will have to act….at last.
After all, he is “the best man for the job”, and to “clean up the political system”…
Another half-trillion down for the UK, and BBB status, is worth it for Labour to actually not be returning __any__ MPs, ever ever again. let alone be allowed anywhere near ministries or children.
BRITAIN WAS THERE THEN AND WILL BE ROYALLY REPRESENTED AGAIN ON THE 65TH ANNIVERSARY!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8079965.stm
“………….much of the effort on 6 June 1944 was British – about 60% of the troops landed were UK or Commonwealth (Canadians); the warships were predominantly from the Royal Navy – even the landing craft taking the Americans to Omaha Beach were manned by British seamen – and much of the air power came from the RAF.
The senior commanders under Eisenhower (an American) were all British, led by Montgomery……….”
Perhaps Gordon should try the X Factor route to success with a rehash of an Ozzy Osbourne classic. “I`m going off the rails on a Gravy Train.”
Gordoom should not be kept on simply because it enhances the idle Tories standing in the polls.
McBust is so grossly incompetent that he will double our national debt in only 3 years. McBruin is evil, like so many true believer socialists. ‘Stalinist’ is a fitting description.
So he must go and the sooner the better. Then we can begin to clean up his mess. No doubt he will shamble off into the sunset blaming Tony for keeping him out of the top job for so long.
LABOUR PLOT TO DITCH THE POUND FOR EUROS
http://express.lineone.net/posts/view/104853/Labor-plot-to-ditch-the-for-Euros
Dave say’s trust me, I am the heir to Blair!
Do not forget: http://is.gd/NT0X
Face it, Braun, the game is up.
You can go quietly and use your last bullet on yourself in the bunker, or battle on and end up being hung upside-down in the street from a meat-hook, but the fact is that it is over (and you have been outlasted by Robert Mugabe).
The writing is now well and truly on the wall, if you read the Guardian(the crossword is always excellent).
Former friends are asking for permission to break out of the bunker. There are no cellphones left to throw.
Scores of Zanu Labour MP’s, sponging career politicians with nothing else to fall back on, can hear their P45’s being printed in the Commons.
Nobody wants Braun’s Presbyterian poisoned chalice anyway, the spectacle of a leadership contest would be cringeworthy and everyone is finally realising the country simply cannot be led by another unelected PM.
The election is coming.
Shaun Woodward, Stephen Pound, Harriet Harperson and the BBC are the only ones left fighting for Gordon now and even the BBC’s best efforts are becoming half hearted.
The second two paragraphs of Guido’s above comments have been copied and pasted and sent in a letter to my local MP.
http://www.writetothem.com/write
If morepeople did the same it might be a start
Had the “pleasure” of meeting Woodward when he was still a Tory MP at his country pile in Oxfordshire quite a few years back. One of the most slimely creatures you could ever imagine. Clearly someone who was going to go wherever the power lay it was no suprise when he defected to Labour. I’m sure he pulled his kids out of the Dragon School (Eaton feeder) to demonstrate his new found socialist principles (not!).
Knowing how he must feel about seeing it all crash on the rocks gives me great pleasure. Couldn’t happen to a nicer hoon.
Don’t forget that other Tory toady turncoat, Quentin Davies – another total Hoon
Guido really ought to chase up Woodward’s “relationships” with his ex-butler and also with Mandy. Very cosy.
Don’t know how anyone can say that politicians should put the country before their own party’s interest. The only case before is perhaps with Winston and the Conservatives at the end of the Battle of France, and then only because Chamerlain had left the country in such a dreadful state. Politicians are by their very nature party creatures and will most likely always back the party before the country, even if it ends with their demise as looks certain to happen with the Labour Party now.
Quoting Adam Smith:
“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.”
You lot don’t know what you are talking about.
If you had been listening to my interviews at the weekend you would have heard me say loud and clear I am borrowing trillions of pounds to reduce debt not increase it. It is Cameron’s Conservatives who intend reduce borrowing which as any economist knows will vastly increase our debt.
Why am I the only person in the country who understands this?
I understand you Gordon.
When I was President of the Reichsbank we did the same thing.
It all worked out fine in the end.
One tip though. When the money runs out, invade Poland.
Peel did it twice; Catholic emancipation and Corn Laws.
Hazel Blears has now gone. How embarrassig is it that all the Labour ministers are resigning and Gordon’s main supporter is a Tory, albeit an ex Tory?
10.14hrs Sky News reports BLEARS RESIGNS
da-da-da-da-da, it’s the final meltdown !

She was expendable.
Unless she has got some guarantees from GB she might be the new Claire Short.
She is certainly ugly enough for the role.
Falconer refuses to back Gordon
“I support some points in Guardian editorial”
The other real point, aside from that which I made earlier, is about where, in what guise and when, these people (the particular socialist ones, which is all of them) shall be predicted to resurface, to trouble us and our counsels again.
True, we may worst them now – we may even be able to get them out of Parlliament, so that they may not be able to trough for a bit.
But we do have to stop the socialist-belief-meme from returning. Ever. Ever ever ever. Not no-how.
I would say that we’d be like Stalin, and be “quite serious”, but then I think this site would get taken down.
I don’t know what the solution is – but I do know we can’t go through all this crap again.
Tomorrow’s elections will clarify just what the people want.
Indeed they will.
Hannan’s thinking that Labour are now looking at fighting the greens for 4th place in the South East http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/daniel_hannan/blog/2009/06/01/labour_and_the_greens_are_battling_for_fourth_place_in_the_home_counties
and the smart money is on Labout losing all 4 of their local authorities up for election too
General election NOW PLEASE
Preceded by today’s PMQ’s of course – who said that bear baiting had been abolished in this country?
Tomorrow’s elections seem more likley to demonstrate what the people DON’T want.
Lots of people seem to be talking of using these elections as a protest vote or non-vote opportunity.
Personally, I’ll be voting as I would in a general election. I want the best people for my council and the European parliament, much more than I want to slap the big parties with a wet fish (however much I’d like to do just that).
Surely there must be some-one who can see the bigger picture. Even Pollys lot see the game is up
Well Blears has just announced her resignation. The sisterhood have seen the light.
The trouble with ousting McTwat now is that the Labour Party would probably prevaricate over the election of a new leader (yes, a genuine election this time!), thus delaying the date of the General Election that we need. Still, at least we’d know he’s going…

Old-Noo (neé Noo-Old) BoringLiars – BANKRUPTING the UK, TAXING YOU witless, LYING, ‘n WASTING YOUR MONEY on something pointless NEAR YOU!
A grisly catalogue, and surely a reminder that the best long-term interests of the country would be served by Labour’s permanent removal from the political scene.
Like the execution of Saddam Hussein, nobody would argue that the world was not a better place after the event.
I totally agree. We must also not fall into the trap of Guido’s disdain of a political system. The rotten labour Government was put in place by people gullible enough to believe their lies. if The Tories and Cameron stick to their word and a manifesto, we shall all benefit.
Snotty’s resignation studio available to view at my place!
The line that Labour bankrupted the country is not working and the reality penny will drop even for dimwits like you.
Consider the following, in the US General Motors has filed for bankruptcy with debts of 190 billion dollars, US home repossessions since 1 January 2009 total more than one million.
Add to that the fact that the fallout is just beginning and even you will realise it’s a new world, Cameron and Osborne are the wrong people to deal with it.
It’s a New World alright – one in which you insufferable socialist prigs with your insistence that everyone acts, thinks, sees and speaks in accordance with your dictats will be just a bad memory from history. And good riddance.
As for Brown being the right person, etc., His record is a telephone directory sized catalogue of disaster, disdain and deliberate destruction printed in very small print on very fine paper. A “grisly catalogue” as our fine friend above puts it.
You, Master Ba!ter, aka MB, aka Marcus Brigstocke, unlovely wedge-headed hero of the left, are the only one marching in step.
Ummmm, GM will be owned by the US government and the Unions after coming out of bankruptcy.
Think on thicko, think on.
The point is the finanical system has collapsed, comprende?
I don’t think it’s fair for you to try and blame all that on Gordon, I only think he bankrupted this country.
Still doing what your handle says best.
Is the government borrowing to spend a net deficit of more than £500 billion to generate growth of just £67 billion?………..
Around the Cabinet table today Guido.
Not for much longer as the night of the long knives draws ever closer.
Mandy can hardly contain his excitement at the prospect of Foreign Secretary.
I doubt the Labour Party or the Country will be as happy.
Mandy as Foreign Secretary? He’ll come to a sticky end, again, I think…
Enough about Mandy and stickiness. It’s too early for that!
And I was just about to put my first soldier into my runny egg!
Bastards!!!!
Every day has a sticky end, for Lady Fondlebum.
At least he has experience of foreign affairs
Ouch.
Come on, let’s get the Mandelson+LDV+GM Bailout+Sperbank+Derepaska more coverage…
Yes Mandy will be able to travel more to Mararkech on business as usual.
That would be takeing things a bit far, unelected prime minister and foreign secretary.
If Gordon were not such a coward he’d go to the country.
As it is, the sad mad Prime Mentalist will have to be removed from Number 10 in a straightjacket.
The Penguin
Cowardice, as a politician its common sense.
On the other hand, its not as if theres any likely circumstance that would make things significantly better for him. or worse actually. Perhaps he’s keeping on to get more material for his memoirs.
Brown is a dead man walking. The Labour party should show him some pity and put him out of his misery.
Yes – but S L O W L Y !!!!
VERY VERY SLOWLY
Where’s the guy with the lamp posts ‘n piano wire – he’d have an idea.
Would prefer the hangman to show him no mercy and put him out of his misery.
Bags his glass eye as a trophy.
Putting him out of his misery IS showing him mercy, isn’t it?
No mercy for Brown. Let him suffer in misery for as long as possible. And let him remember for the rest of his life that he is a despised, hated failure.
As Chancellor, Brown and his loathsome, sycophantic, thick acolyte Primarolo introduced divisive policies that severely damaged my business and eventually wrecked my family.
I hate Brown with absolute totality and sincerity. Let him suffer and let me watch.
TRue, but in the meantime, who’s running this fucking country?
Labour are on course to win the next election. As a Calvinist, Gordon Brown is happiest when things are bleakest and at his most dangerous when cornered. Cameron with his mushroom face and his Leslie Phillips seduction technique will never understand this. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself. Cameron thinks he is very clever but one morning he will look in the mirror to find his reflection peering over his shoulder and then he will know he has been outfoxed.
Many charlatans, including forner Labour Party chairman, Ian McCartney, have pretended to clairvoyance. But if you cloister yourself in the bamboo grove and attune yourself to the grasshopper’s chirping, you will receive intimations of the horrors to come.
There will be no General Election because some time before 5 May 2010 the earth is going to land on the moon. All this – and more – has been proved by Sir Tim Berners Lewis, with a little assistance from your truly. We have seen the smoke rising from the abyss and David Cameron thrashing vainly at the locusts which swarm about his head. Above his wing collar are visible only two startled eyes staring from the torrent of canine jism as he is engulfed by the shapeless spawn of Ymir.
So, do not disdain the bouncing hydrocephaloid. It’s got you in its grip before you’re born. Bjoezzen. Bjoezzen. Bjoezzen to be ALI-I-IVE.
Not a bad effort – getting closer to the real Charlie. Suggest next time more on ‘graphics fidelity’.
Sister Goodfeel where’s your condemnation of the hate speech now, liar.
Why do you think there is hate speech in that post?
Why do you feel my gender would moderate readers’ perceptions?
Why do you use feminine gender in a derogatory manner?
Tell us more about your relationship with your mother?
Do you sometimes feel confused, or even aroused, when you think of her?
I apologise if these last two questions seem intrusive or offensive, but it will help your diagnosis. I’m here to help and I’m listening
Look up, not this one, an earlier one.
Oh I forgot I was paid to moderate here. Guido gets excellent value for money out of me.
Point proven, you feign outrage, liar.
Where were you when I was beating up on the Toytown Nazis the other day?
Why do you feel others’ behaviour makes it acceptable for you to post racist and sexist comments?
Liar
¿Qué?
Did I really drink 18 pints of Old Wazzocks Grey Peculiar last night ? I must have done, coz that post sounds like a load of old bollocks to me – the usual output is lucid, informative and relevant…. Charles, come back, all is forgiven
I see your homosexual and anal obsessions are as strong as ever “Charles”.
By the way, I thought you said you were leaving, never to return?
A liar as well as a fixated homosexual too?
Another thick commenter on Guidorcs Oaf’s site, there are many.
“there are many.”
Correct, there are very many and guess what?
You will find out how many tomorrow.
ZanuLabour fourth anyone?
If your teeny weeny todger doesn’t get even a little bit stiffer from coming here why don’t you go back to your ‘Razzle’?
Including you wedge-head. You must be thick to support the chaotic dogs breakfast currently masquerading as the government of England.
Charlie, you can have the padded cell next to your beloved Gordon. How does that sound?
Please supply source for Ian McCartney’s pretensions to clairvoyance.
Dear Mr Softwidget,
Carry on posting please, along with the teenage poison of the pimple encrusted Master Baiter, your funny drivel has entertainment value!
Your comments are pointless.
Thats very funny, I read exactly the same thing in my tea-leaves this morning
Hello Dolly, has God not told you to fuck off yet?
A very good, coherent post. To disdain the bouncing hydrocephaloid is akin to felching the androgynous velocipede or hosting a Tupperware party with a horde of Brachycybae. It is not advisable.
Let us not forget that a seasoned witch could call you from the depth of your disgrace and rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace.
Cameron’s forehead is the main problem, as far as I can see. When the voters see that expanse of face on their TV screens, there is likely to be no comeback for cheese.
Vote Labour.
the paramedics are on the way..just stay calm..
Although it might lessen the scale of Labour’s defeat, an early election is what’s best for the UK!
It was interesting to listen to the 8am news on today this morning, with the breaking story on the Al Queda shooting in Africa cast, from the first words, not in terms of the news story itself, but in terms of Gordon Brown’s reported reaction to it. It was a blatant effort to try to recapture the “Gordon Brown as statesman” theme from the time of the Glasgow car bomb. Even post McBride, Brown clearly still has a legion of little helpers round at the BBC.
Brown jumped on this hostage story to try to gain political capital for himself. They don’t even know for sure that he’s dead, nor have his family been informed.
Brown is an odious piece of shit for using this apparent murder for his own ends.
Can we not swop this Brown Hoon for any hostage taken?
Exactly what I thought. It shows how low they’ve stooped when we come to this conclusion. Unfortunately we’re probably right.
Problem being it is only the British who have failed to get their hostages back so far.
I tend to go along with not paying ransomes but must admit having seen the widescale pillaging of the public purse by our lawmakers I wouldn’t have been too sad to see some of that diverted into saving a real life and not an MPs lifestyle.
Gordon gets my vote.
You’ve been hiding here for all these years and still only have ONE vote. Don’t believe it
This is what you get when you let the lefty twats Bring in care in the community coupled with equal opportunity in the workplace.
Waiting for a comrade, particularly in the heaving vomit of the current administration, to do the honourable thing, is an exercise in futility.
They are all shameless cowards, venal to their core and treacherous parasites, who would sell their souls and this country, to any bidder.
Their entire “loyalty” is to the parteh, above all else. It is how the Mafia work, it is how they work.
Ive been predicting a June dissolution of parliament since April and no one has been listening to me
I still can’t see that happening. Snotty will stick it out until the bitter end and will have to be physically dragged from Number 10. I don’t see any single one of those pygmies that call themselves the “Government” with the guts to actually stab the one-eyed Scotch Hoon in the back.
We have had disillusion toward this Parliment since April at least. Brown is our new King Canute.
But Canute was sane. It was his courtiers who were the problem.
Yes, Knut was sane. But his courtiers were the original europhiles – everything the foreign king did was wonderful. A terrible treasonous trait in the soul of the English establishment.
Sadly this blog is behind the curve and has been for many weeks now.
It has been pushing stories first mooted or published elsewhere; like this story.
*Cough* McBride *Cough* Dolly *Cough*
Sadly true.
Since the massive scoop that was McBrideGate, nothing has appeared here that we haven’t already read on Sky or other blogs, usually in more detail. Anyone can trawl the news sites and republish a summary.
Saying on Sunday “Post links to sleaze stories in the comments and Guido will summarise them” is taking the piss, really.
When you read the boasting in the statporn post about how this blog is published on Bloomberg, and stored in the British Library, you have to wonder why..
So why do you keep coming back and repeating yourself?
Now that’s what I call on the ball ;-)
Just (one of the many) trying to pinch a few of your 231,416 pairs of eyeballs, dear.
Can’t work it out! If it’s all so unoriginal and tedious WTF are you on here again?
Yeah why are you on here especially as GuidOrcs Oaf is such an ugly, fat bellied, windy, might have been, nobody who couldn’t think himself out of a Tube station armed with a life time season ticket.
Is it because it’s funny to see the miserable hate filled bile that right wing morons use to make their thick meandering comments?
“Mike’s right” isn’t me. I’ve not repeated anything.
Nice cheap attempt to have a go at the messenger though.
Most people out there will agree that this blog is now a large way behind the likes of the Telegraph when it comes to outing the nature and behaviour of UK MPs.
Telegraph needed to do something to redeem their position – not there yet.
It is likely to be a long summer, Election or nay , we will need Guido and the like to keep on top of this bunch.
Give it a few months, ( weeks/days?) and the recently departed will be spilling their guts to Guido – should be some clarity on all the crap that has been going on for the last decade -
When you are demolishing a structure just lighting the blue touchpaper is enough. You don’t need to stand there with a sledge hammer hacking away while it explodes in your face.
Respec’ to the demolition man
From where I am standing this blog has already made a better fist of the job of bringing down a parliament than the original 1605 Gunpowder Plot.
This parliament is in ruins, no one has been arrested and no one has been hung, drawn and quartered.
All that remains is to drag the old leader from the vaults and finish him off. (A job for the huntsmen I hope).
I am sure the original Guido would be very proud of his modern day namesake.
This site has matured in the past two months.
Not only do we get the massive scoop which put this site on us plebs radar back in April but it has also awoken a huge swathe of the silent majority and given us a focal point for action.
The same reason that people buy daily newspapers is now part of the reason d’etre of order order.com but here we not only stay informed but get a voice too.
So Mike you are wrong, grind your axe here & elsewhere and let us Pions continue to decide where we exercise or democratic rights too.
Guido and friends have done this country a great service. At the 11th hour it exposed the fact that we were sleepwalking to a totalitarian state, whether we can reverse this is another matter but the fact is many of us have woken up to the fact so at least we stand a fighting chance.
The Web in 2009 has changed politics in the UK forever and we will emerge stronger and more democratic for that.
Now if Brown & Co would just fuck off so we can clear the decks ……..
Kelly Inquiry now
General Election Now
Lisbon Ref Now.
I visit and occasionally contribute to this blog because I learn more about my fellow countrymen and women and I like to partake in the debate about what is either a guido scoop or any other news pertaining to the header and aims of Guido Fawkes. That is why this blog will continue to be ever popular. Mike, your comment is just as valid a point to make as any other and thank you for taking the time to make it.
I suspect Guido is sitting on lots of good stuff – when the traffic is at a peak there is no need to put it out. It’s just good marketing to save it for a more useful time.
Yup ! – the story is running along nicely – what would be great is some insight into bunker conditions -
Looking for work – well within reason

It is cynical and disgusting the way that Gordon Brown is trying to gain political capital from the apparent murdder of a Briitish hostage of Al-Qaeda in Africa. The British govt have completely ignored this man’s plight for the past year but now Brown has come out publicly to claim that he has been killed and to come out with all the usual platitudes.
They don’t even know for sure that he is dead, nor were his family informed before Brown started shouting his mouth off this morning.
I am the bogeyman. When Gordon speaks you had better listen or else there may be another *surprise* terrorist attack. Capiche?
GB is Scottish from the ranks of the mafia thugs around Glasgow!
Need I say more?
Alan Johnson, eh ?
ZaNu is truly going postal.
…well, being a postman is better than walking the streets.
I have no desire to see Brown stay a moment longer, however I also have no desire to see Labour remain in power one moment longer, chop off the head and the body still twitches.
Not exactly over concerned about Postman Twat. Once Polly and co have stopped salivating and realised that just because Gordon has gone the song largely remains the same, it will become apparent that, as he so eloquently put it, he is ‘not up to the job’.
You’ve summed up my thoughts exactly. Labour desperately need a new leader. The country desperately needs a new leader. Labour can’t impose a second unelected Prime Minister so they must call a general election.
BUT the remaining few around the cabinet table have no honour and have no loyalty to the country. They’re self serving and corrupt. Don’t expect them to go without a fight
LOL it’s almost over for Gordon Brown and New Liebour. They won’t be a force in politics for the next ten years. Put the drinks on ice, not long now :-) .
I am getting on with the job…..of wrecking the country and making this nation a laughing stock around the world. I think a performance bonus would be in order for my efforts so far.
THE SCENE:
Late at night, in his Downing Street Bunker, GORDON sits, hunched pensively, over an almost-blank pad of paper. All that is written on it is ‘Mye Noo Cabbinet’. GORDON picks up his black marker pen and, sighing heavily, begins to sing. . . .
‘Reviewing The (Cabinet) Situation‘
Lionel ‘Dungeekin’ Bart
PM: Brown
Chancellor: Ed Balls
Home Secretary: Yvette Cooper
Foreign Secretary: Mandelson

Gordon should rest assured though that the people will not be satisfied until he is gone. No amount of rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic is going to save him and his sorry excuse for a government.
Two Queens and a pair of Balls.
couldn’t have put it better myself!
LOL
‘PM: Brown
Chancellor: Ed Balls
Home Secretary: Yvette Cooper
Foreign Secretary: Mandelson’
For everything else there’s Mastercard.
Destroying pensions – £5 Billion
Bailing out banks – £170 Billion
Watching Brown falling on his arse – priceless
Not exactly an impressive list, is it? Still, it should help them down the plug hole with extra speed.
The boss the EU. Sock puppets all.
Nobody with half a brain cell would given Balls control of the tea money let alone the Treasury.
We really have reached the bottom when people like him can even be taken seriously.
The PETER PRINCIPLE is true – “In a hierarchy, everyone rises to their own level of incompetance, resulting in every position being filled by an incompetant”
Works for ZaNuLabour
wrong again!
the new cabinet will be of beech stained MDF with brass handles having two cupboards at each extreme end with central shelving (2) behind an all fake mahogany front. there will be a lockable central drawer so gordon can put his spare mobile away safely.
Time’s up. But Labour has no balls except Ed Balls, another complete useless twat.
They will cling on with Jonah and things will get worse.
The perilous state of the Uk finances worries me more than anything.
Please let us have an election, not another Jonah.
I think Gordon wants to be Prime Minister for life.
When do I get a go?
form a circle
don’t get too excited lad
first!
this isn’t politicalbetting you knob
My waking dream this morning was of Radio4 announcing that Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s body had been found in his bath alongside an empty bottle of sleeping pills. In sonorous tones John Humphrey’s was canvassing the great & good on the subject of this tragic loss. As the sunlight filtered through my quivering eyelids I thought I heard the people of Britain taking to the streets to celebrate.
Alas, it was only the clatter of the bin-men making an infrequent collection…
Gordon Brown is clearly not up to the job of being Prime Minister. That is hugely dangerous for our country, especially at a time of economic crisis. Party political considerations should not come into it, the man should go.
Now THIS image is what we want to see.
“I cannae go yet, I’ve no finished settin’ oot mah vision”
Hahahahahahaha
Party political considerations have ALWAYS come into it where Brown is concerned! The arch plotter and schemer and destroyer of reputations. Every waking minute of every waking hour is spent trying to cling on to power at any cost.
Brown is attempting his forty-ninth relaunch this morning by publicly announcing the possible death of a British hostage of al-qaeda who the British government have totally ignored since he was first kidnapped months ago.
Nice!
Oh well, if he can just hold out till Big Brother starts, he can pretend to be all populist and with the people (the idiots who watch BB are the only ones stupid enough to vote for him now) and comment on a daily basis about who’s gone, and how he rand Davina to check on their well being. Pathetic.
He was probably up all night thinking of the best way to hit the press with a positive statement.
It’s astonishing how this criminal actually tries to announce the death’s of people before the right authority/dept does so (Foreign Office?).
When the diaries of this Cabinet fraudsters are published in a few yrs time,they will be awash with stories of Brown’s constant meddling with every detail of their Depts/jobs.
Christ – he must even insist on opening the No.10 door when he’s there!
Of course, the cleaning is beyond him, but that job is not visible to the electorate (who will shortly be carrying out massive vermin extermination across the country….)
If only we could get though that pile of security down at Downing St – machine guns,road blocks,double gates,CTV,sniffer dogs – is this to keep BROWN secure or to keep US secure from HIM?!
By the way,about a month ago,I wondered along to Downing St and asked the copper on duty in front of the massive gates;
“Officer,is Gordon Clown in today?”
The Officer said he would go and find out.
A few minutes later he returned and asked me to confirm the name as there was no one of THAT name on the staff roster……I had to tell him that I was being a little sarcastic (expecting a severe beating,I walked away like the spy tiptoeing across the bridge in a spy exchange,waiting for the bullet.)
Can the new Celebrity Star Chambers Game Show really save New Labour’s ratings?
Won’t viewers suspect that crooked producers behind the scenes are fiddling the viewers’ ‘phone in votes?
It’s Albert Pierrepoint we want to see now, not another Game Show stage-managed by Brown and his accomplices!
“There would of course need to be a General Election after Gordon went.”
Not Constitutionally I’m afraid. So that should be put in the new reforms too.
And if Johnson came to pass it would either be a coronation, damned unlikely, or a contest, hardly quick. And after that I’m afraid I can’t see him calling an Election as soon as his feet are in Number 10. Call it a hunch.
Whatever happens the Election is still quite some time away.
The Labour Election Broadcast on TV last night (BBC1 18:55) didn’t even mention Gordon Brown, MP Expenses or the economy. There wasn’t even much about the Labour party.
I had to check the end credits to confirm that it was for Labour.
Wasn’t it just some frustrated Labour spad slapping a punchbag in his pathetic girly way before that talentless old fraud Eddie Izzard came on to metaphorically suck Brown’s cock?
Nah that wasn’t an election broadcast. It was the BBC news at Ten.Difficult to tell them apart, I accept..
good one – the humour keeps me going in this maelstrom of a country being ruined by this CxUNT
It was just so sad, all it did was tell us what Cameron would be doing (cutting benefits, saving money etc) without doubt the most negative PPB ever.
Incorrect!!!!
Well written Guido, the best thing for the country would be Brown leaving in the next few days. When the Tories get in power there needs to be an opposition left with some teeth. What’s happened since 97 illustrates that. Bad legislation forced through by the government because the opposition were dead and buried and government whips in total control. The first cabinet member to speak out will be a national hero.

Need to put pressure on Dave et al now to hold ‘em to “The Plan” which he has trailed.
I said something similar regarding Browns answers on Marrs politics programme:

They really don’t give a toss do they?
Which is the do nothing party now?
In practical terms, do we have a government that is capable of decisive action should the need arise?
Even their trolls seem to have given up on them.
Is this what comes to us all, one day, sitting in a chair, dribbling and staring open eyed into a confusing world that we don’t understand any more whilst, with our last vestiges of sanity, realising that we are an irritant which all those around us would prefer to be without?
I used to be Shakespeare, by the way.
I thought we were all like that

This prime minister is a Labour tribalist to his fingertips. He is incapable of rising above calculations of narrow party interest.
He will cling on to the bitter end.
Alan Johnson is an oik. He always sounds to me like some junior manager in the council’s highways department.
Sadly there are those among the Great Unwashed who associate with oiks, so he might get some support.
Let’s stick with what we know – a deranged Scotsman who is guaranteed to inflict maximum damage on ZanuLab.

Is this the future for Derek Draper: Psychotherapist Derek Gale Struck Off.
Seems unlikely. I’ve read another one of those cases and the person was really completely useless and doing dodgy stuff.
Draper is clever enough to put on different faces for different purposes. And behave well, and act correctly in front of a commitee.
Just look at the quantity of bullshit in this one:

“There were two ‘mes’: one getting wrapped up in all that rubbish and another trying to be a therapist.” … eh… sounds crackers.
“I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have done anything with those e-mails, but I shouldn’t have even been entertaining it as a thought ”
A lie. But you can’t prove what someone thought, even if thats the way they always behave.
Should a self confessed schizophrenic BE a therapist?
Its a misconception that schizophrenia has something to do with a “split personality”. Its known technically as being a “two faced git”.
And while we’re at it, Guido pretty much showed that Draper and McBride were actively smearing/tackling/fighing “right wing bloggers”, and plainly lying about it on TV. …. and yet they werent going to do anything about redrag.
Draper has shown that he knows nothing about the interweb, and perhaps thought that giving an interview to a welsh newspaper wouldnt become visible to the rest of the world.

While stitching up the hand of a 75 year old Norfolk farmer, who cut it on a gate while working cattle, the rural doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Gordon Brown and his appointment as Prime Minister.
“Well, you know,” drawled the old farmer, “this Brown fellow is what they call a fencepost tortoise.”
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a fencepost tortoise was.
The old farmer said, “When you’re driving along a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that’s called a fencepost tortoise.”
The old farmer saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain;
“You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he definitely doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just have to wonder what kind of idiot put him up there in the first place.”
That’s fantastic! “fencepost tortoise”. Perfect.
Yeah but the shaft of the post still gets soaked in a rainstorm and rots from the ground up until the tortoise drops from above and lands on its belly. An excellent analogy by the clever farmer.
The Americans have just received a tape supposedly containing the latest comments by Osama Bin Laden: “This Labour Government is shite and Gordon Brown is a tosser”
However the CIA point out that this could in fact have been recorded at any stage during the last 12 years.
Ha ha ha ha ha…
Methinks they all protest too much! The number of people on Sky today who support Gordon, suprise…all Labour or ex-spin doctors, the only one missing today is “the Mirror man” Maguire. Gordon hero of the G20, that made me split my sides laughing. Obama was the star of the G20 show. Brown is the super “Mr Fixit”, that he buggered it up in the first place is neither here or there, Gordon is “the man for the moment”, no one else can do the job like Brown, you can ask Sir Jacomb, he knows all about Brown’s fancy moves in the financial sector, check out the Lord’s report on Brown’s fingers on the pulse of Britains finances. Liked the picture of Jacqui Smith as a “Blunderbird”…made my day.
Sorry forgot to put my name here for Anonymous 9:32 was Lizzie, it’s all the excitement of the last few days of the Empire.
Hooray for Gordon
Witch Gordon ?
That’s it they’ve gone now, a dead cabinet, a dead PM, and a party almost dead and finished. There is no hope for them now whatsoever
The only point of this government now, is that the current elite can cling on to the personal privileges of their office. In other words they are absolutely in it for themselves. The country or the party is no longer of any relevance to Browns inner circle, its purely about whether they can cling onto their pay and perks for another 11 months.
An utter shambles.
Yes a big disappointment, the cabinet of all talents has crumbled under it’s own success.

NULAB has declared war on the children of this nation. MMR causes autism. 1 in 6 kids now has autistic spectrum behaviour. It has skyrocketed since MMR was introduced to the DAY. If parents and FORCED to vaccinate their kids their wil be a social backlash the likes of which you cannot imagine. Parents will kill to protect their kids. If this act of war is carried out you can be consequences will flllow. Eugenicist scum. You will pay.
what crap.
“what crap?” Silly crap.
MMR does not cause autism. Unless you ask a Doctor who’s being paid for by Ambulance chasing lawyers, who’s also trying to sell you alternative jabs.
Just wait. The producers of the MMR vaccine are about to have their patent expire. This means that their cosy uber profitable relationship with the Dept of Health will be subject to competition. So what they’ll do next is introduce the MMRC – That’s the MMR with an additional vaccination for chickenpox. They get 10 years patent on that, so no competition and Bob’s your uncle. Mass immunisation campaign citing how chicken pox kill, supported by the staistics to show it does. In the third World. And here. Because anything that can cause a temperature can cause death in an infant – sadly some babies die every year from complications ensuing from the common cold. The fact is, the pharmaceutical industry is huge, extremely powerful, and a vast money making business. Open the lid on half what goes on and you’d be horrified. Are they still sending consultants and GPs who promote certain brands of drugs off on golfing weekends a 5 star pads abroad under the guise of “conference” weekends? That’s one industry where FOI should really get us going….
Drivel – my wee lad was diagnosed with autism long before his MMR jab.
Unless its retrospective like Labour taxes!
Bigger issue is the effects of a measles epidemic – caused by the PM of the day (Blair) who gave his own kid seperate jabs and caused panic. If it is not good enough for the PM’s kid, not good for mine.
Sorry. Outrageously OT.
Dear NewGirl,
Almost all of what you say is true, but it is what you don’t say that is important. Yes, ‘Big Pharma’ kills a lot of people, and yes, they are extremely powerful and very effective lobbyists. It is also true that most of their product is useless (as acknowledged by Allen Roses, Worldwide vice-president of genetics at GlaxoSmithKline in December ‘03). HOWEVER, immunisation programmes are one of the greatest success stories in the history of medicine. There have been a few deaths, as you say, but these are negligible compared to the millions of lives that have been saved.
I agree. I wasn’t slagging off immunisation per se. Just that with the huge vested interests involved I’m not convinced we are always told what is in OUR interests.
Yes. Not sure about the MMR/Autism link, but if they hadn’t been driven by their Stalinist instincts, they could have dealt with the measles risk by offering the three separately or at a later stage when children are better able to cope with the shock to their immune systems.
Also if you look at pharmaceutical companies profit and loss statements you will find that R & D is the fourth biggest item, after marketing, admin costs and profit. They are crappy businesses making big profits out of abusive relationships with governments and doctors. Scum!
What has this got to do with HofC? If there was anyone competent as Health Secretary they could focused on serious strategic issues like this instead of micro-managing all sorts of irrelevant shit and setting pointless an unachievable targets everywhere. Watch out, Call me Dave, your time is coming and you will need to have a grip on issues like this from the start.
Stalinist? I don’t want the NHS spending money on silly crap.
Buy your own, and pay for your own doctors if you believe the irrational nonesense spouted about single vaccines.
If you believe in a non-existant threat in a vaccine, why don’t you think there aren’t any issues with the other three?
I remember whooping cough!
Well said Guido. We need a changein Leader there now as there needs to be an effective opposition when Dave Cameron enters No.10 after the GE. Part of the problem that we’ve had since ‘97 was the unchecked (until recently) power of the government.

There is no trace of enthuisiasm for the Conservitude team of David Cameron and George (where is he) Osborne.
Thanks to UKIP Cameron is forced to pander to the right wing nutty dinosaurs that make up the core of his own party.
The spectacle is delightful.
Ps: I sprouted my first pubes today, and Dad let me have a sip of beer! Scrummy!
‘Ere stop messing about!
Can I come out now?
I do not have a father I am the product of a multi culturally balanced gender neutral post Christian, new model parental unit, as approved by my socialist master baiters Neu Labour and the EU. The notion of the masculine unit within the post nuclear ‘family’ is outdated and sexist. My parental female unit was impregnated in a non-sexist fashion by a ’sister’ comrade with a turkey baster (although no fellow sentient creatures were actually roasted with it) you may go now.
‘Ere, stop messin’ abaahht!
Keep up with the crap. Every pathetic post means another Conservative vote. The tea lady will be round soon, why don’t you treat yourself to a Rum Baba?
The point is valid the Conservitude Party’s core vote is nutty dinosaurs. UKIP forcing Cameron to pander to them undermines his chance of electoral success. Publicly moving to the right is the last thing Cameron wanted to do. So get over yourself, one day you will make a comment based on rational thought, that day is probably a long way off.
That is all, you may go

Oh and congrats on regulating that credit bubble into existence.

sorry, the Tea Lady was outsourced to Crapita and then made redundant
maybe so, but its just a sideshow compared to the slow motion train wreck that is the New Labour government. We’re seeing some of the passengers leap off to safety, yet Gordon sits in the engine mumbling to himself seemingly unaware of what lies ahead.
Either brown is toast, or labour is toast for a long time, as they have fucked up every decision they have ever made, lets see what they do with this one.
brown wont go by his own accord, they are going to have to be rid of him.
My own view, they are going to rip themselves apart getting rid of him. That blair/brown fault line which has always been there is really going to come to the front now.
You dont often see a war where both sides lose, can’t fucking wait.
Where are we in all this, nowhere, where we have always been with fucking socialism, it’s an excuse for greed, never was an ideal. Lets be rid of it once and for all, No harm in us all marking time for a while to be rid of it.

Someone should inform Toilets that excuses are not reasons, though I dont expect he would understand the difference.
Nah, fuck it.
Firstly, I don’t think there is any way the pasty-faced freak is going to leave, he’s going to have to be sectioned to get him out.
Secondly, I want Labour to be consigned to the dustbin of history for allowing that grinning fuckwad Blair and the manic mincing madman to get away with what they have been allowed to get away with.

Whether Brown stays or goes, the country needs and the country demands a General Election. The current mess cannot be allowed to continue in what passes for Government for another month, let alone another year. Dissolve Parliament and call an election for September – giving two to three months for the political parties to purge themselves of troughers and dead wood.
Grow up dimwit.
MB – Tricky has posted a sensible statement, if you can not argue a point with a sensible comment, don’t bother.
My screen seems to fill up on a daily basis with your inane waffle and it bores me to tears.
Are you Mandy by any chance?
MB, I introduced My Mum to this site last week, (She is 78 ) Her first comment was that MB’s comments make her laugh and bring a colourful point of view to this site.
I’m trying to work out if thats a compliment or not but on balance I think your comments are both provoking and occasionally valid. So don’t do a Charles and keep on taking the tablets, she needs cheering up sometimes.
PS don’t worry too much when your pubes start to curl.
“I introduced My Mum to this site last week, (She is 78 )”

He must be Prince Charles. Have a good time at the D-Day celebrations, Charlie.
Three months is nowhere near long enough for me to purge the Troughers and dead wood from Labour. Anyway, I’m listening and learning, learning the lessons, getting on with the job, drawing a line under it, moving on and saving the world.
Does anyone know Mr Brown’s GP – the man clearly needs sectioning under the mental health act.
Don’t bother, I’ll section the slimy little git.
Shaun Woodward says Gordon is the man for the job and that the rest of the world looks up to him to lead them out of their economic woes. Most amusing delusional view I’ve heard for days!!!!!!!!
Shaun should try reading some foreign newspapers – he’d realise then that Gordon is the laughing stock of the world.
The only thing anyone anywhere looks to Gordon for is the next crisis which seem to be happening on a daily basis now.

Have we now passed the point at which the leaking of the rocking horse picture would actually improve Brown’s reputation?
Brown talks of cleaning up Westminster as if he wasn’t one of the principal authors of its decline.
Like the blinded Samson, his death throes will pull down the whole temple before he leaves the stage.
I’m not sure what the presbyterian term for chutzpa is – unfortunately Brown’s version has none of the redeeming charm of its traditional Jewish counterpart
Guido wrote:”They know that at the General Election the scale of the Tory victory will be greater if they face Gordon Brown, a discredited Prime Minister, than if they faced a new Prime Minister enjoying a honeymoon.
That is putting their party interest before the national interest.“
If they had the power to ensure Brown stayed on, that would be true. However, as mere spectators at this stage I don’t think that is the case.
Vote for me or else I will leave red rubber bands all over your path

Great news, I wonder how many more will go today?

Bye bye Hazel. We’ll miss you, especially when you steal all the peanuts from the bird feeder. The birds, however, are all singing their little hearts out.
MPs are sociopaths therefore mostly devoid of conscience. Hopefully something will happen that will break the British public out of a mentality that says its representatives have to be drawn from minority interest organisations. That is minority in number and implies nothing about ethnicity. Labour and Tory party membership combined is less than million. Compare that with 900k who attend a C of E service on a Sunday.
My fear is that boy David as one of his reforms will bring in PR. And British politics will be reduced to the same level as the Italian government pantomime. PR is a force multiplier for minority interest parties.
We need compulsory voting. Polling day should be bank holiday so nobody has an excuse. And fines for not voting should be severe. The British people should start to take their share of the responsibility in the governmental bargain. And wonder how many of the general public who have appeared as talking heads on news programme during this scandal actually voted.
And party manifestos should be contractually binding. If we are promised a referendum we should get a referendum. The British public are better legally protected buying consumer goods than electing a government.
PR is absolutely essential to have true, or close to true, democracy. What we have now is an absolute joke. PR can be a mess if done badly but we have the chance to look at all the systems out there and pick the one that would work best for us. I have lived and voted in a country with PR and after living here 10 years will be voting for the first time tomorrow just to give Labour a bloody nose. Apart from that voting in this country is in the most part utterly pointless. The system needs changing desperately and PR MUST be brought in. When it is I guarantee you there will be a huge upswing in voter turnout and political engagement. If you don’t believe me then just go look at the countries who have thrown out the outdated and useless first past the post system and put in PR instead.
“We need compulsory voting. Polling day should be bank holiday so nobody has an excuse. And fines for not voting should be severe”.
Here here.. I have been saying that for years. Everybody eligible in the country must vote in person on the appointed day. Those out of the country, too bad, you miss out. Postal voting also abolished with immediate effect.
When is a constitution not a constitution? When it’s in the hands of NuLiebour.
Just heard that Hazel has gone….go long on Nokia shares!!

Interesting one to put out the day before an election is it not?
Guido:
Your economic analysis is completely wrong.
The Stock Market has increased by 30%
Exports are booming
Car sales (£2500 cash) are booming
VAT decrease to 15% has worked
QE is filtering down to business that have secured orders.
The banks are Nationaised and saved (from Gideon)
We still have one year to witness this unfolding.
Cameron wanted the lot to collapse, he still talks up the catastrophe theory and is more wrong each and every day.
He will be a spent force come election day and so No. 5 or 6 will have to be unfolded to us soon.

Now I realise that a FTSE of 4,394 (a negative return of 5% over 12 years) is a GLORIOUS achievement and that my pension and endowments are actually overperforming rather than being totally fucked.

Gary Elsby – You really are sad. You are believing all the spin and lies being thrown around at the moment. More fool you for being a sheep! Try using your brain, doing a bit of research, and you will realise there is no way there are any green shoots appearing – it’s common sense.
Things are slightly more bouyant as the government printed billions of pounds a few weeks ago; this extra cash is sloshing around at the moment but will soon evaporate.
In fact we have not reached rock bottom yet but Mandelson’s mates are managing to massage the truth and, no doubt, the stock market!
Gary Elsby
If what has happend to the economy and social stability of this country is not a catastrophe, what would you call it?
Just take a look at history – labour do the same damage every time they are in power.
Cameron is right in what he says and predicts. At least he doesn’t talk drivel and constantly lie like our idiotic and shameless PM.
Gary Elsby,
Your children’s future mortgaged to secure the gambling loses of the Banksters.
Reckless gambling that was done in clear site of the government.
gaud, too early,
site = sight
This isn’t the real Gary Elsby. Gary Elsby can neither spell nor punctuate properly.

Gary,
Don’t play with toys you so clearly don’t understand. The arguments for an end to the bear market rally in stocks are growing stronger and more numerous, ie:
1. Valuations remain very high. Using 12-month trailing GAAP earnings, the P/E ratio of the S&P 500 is at a record 59.7; and for the NASDAQ 100, it’s 36.2. Dividend yields are a paltry 3.2% and 1.1%, respectively.
2. From the outset, the bear market rally has been on weak volume, and even weaker during the last few weeks.
3. Low quality companies – with the weakest balance sheets – have enjoyed the strongest rallies, signaling rebalancing of institutional portfolios toward more risk. And more risk-taking in this environment is a sign of speculative frenzy and weakness – not fundamental strength.
4. Among the stocks rising strongly, many are also stocks with the most short interest. That means this run-up in stocks, including the most recent surge, has been largely a short-covering rally – not a rally driven by long-term investing.
5. The S&P’s 200-day moving average is still declining. And all that the indexes have done is rally back to that falling line. This means the stock averages still remain firmly confined within the range of a typical bear market rally.
6. The advance-decline line reached new cyclical lows in March, as did prices. In doing so, market breadth confirmed an ongoing bear market.
7. Momentum indicators remain heavily overbought. At a minimum, they scream for downward correction. Moreover, these indicators have now rolled over to the downside, giving sell signals.
8. Sentiment indicators display the return of the extreme bullishness and complacency. And the 5-day average of the CBOE Put/Call Ratio just gave another sell signal last week

BLEARS RESIGNS 10.14 HRS
This is regicide by resignation.
This just any resignation, this is controlled demolition by resignation.
McMental can sit alone in the cabinet office rocking gently back and forth mumbling and hugging himself
“son of the manse, moral compass, getting on with the job, lifting children out of poverty,africa I AM NOT GAY!”
Do us all a favour Gordon
FUCK OFF AND DIE!
Good piece Guido but I would disagree with the line “Prime Minister completely incapable of getting us out of the economic mess we are in”.
It is not the role of governments to dig us out of this mess.
Our problems stem from the fact that we have too much government: big intrusive, expensive, interfering and stifling.
We want less government, not more of it, preferably based on the American system – they know a thing or two about hands-off government.
The whole socialist ideal of minimum wage, workers rights… is nothing more than a pseudo-security. The best (and only) protection a worker can have is employers competing for his skills. Anything else is socialist rascaldom.
“It is not the role of governments to dig us out of this mess.” No, after all, they created it and why should we expect any more of them?
This is getting to be a cabinet version of ten pin bowling. Never mind a spare, lets go for a full STRIKE.
Prime Minister Brown’s office says TV report on Labour MP Hazel Blears’s resignation “speculation” 10:17am BST
It’s in The Mail therefore it is fact.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1190242/Rats-desert-sinking-ship-Shamed-Jacqui-Smith-leads-ministers-scrambling-exit.html
mail online says shes resigned
No it’s feking not, she’s just issued a statement that she’s “…going back to the grass roots…”
That’s where the repulsive little garden gnome belongs IMHO…
Soon there’ll be no more turds in the bowl to flush!
Updating the casualty list as we speak. Will republish when full figures are known.
I would never have started the list if I had known I would have to record the political equivalent of the Somme.
Perhaps you should employ a researcher and put them on expenses?
Maybe you need a researcher after last night, Ha, Ha.
Why? What did I do?? I was hoping you’d be around :-)
Server crashed or something. I’d just finished reading all the blogs and the call for some help. Thought you handled it well though.
You my new BF :-) . Are you watching PMQs? Cameron kicked ass!
Yeah? Yeah! Brown started out angry, then Cameron made him more angry, Nick Smeg took the flak.
That’s amazing if Blears really has gone. The whole lot is crashing down.
Gone to spend more time with her taxpayer-funded property portfolio.
The “Revenge of the Sisterhood” – is Flint next ?
Brown is finished.
Hazel Blears resigns from cabinet
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8080777.stm
I’m a bit pissed off that I had to wait till 10.25 for the first one of the day
How many more before PMQs?
Thanks for reminding me. Now I will have to stay in and watch PMQ’s rather than go out and buy bread.
I can always eat cake I suppose.
Blears resigns – she should NEVER have been there in the first place – sycophantic, useless garden gnome (I’m being polite)
Yes, but she will still be standing as an MP. She’s only resigning from the Cabinet.
After her fraudulent activity she should NOT be allowed to stand as an MP.
Yup, she should now be de-selected.
Ms Blears! Where are the bodies buried Hazel! Will you tell us now?
blears in tears
So am I – of joy. Oh happy day….
Blears gone before she is booted. No-one very surprised.
Her resignation statement spoke of “ordinary people” and returning to the grass roots. Not a peep about Brown. Shame the ordinary people think she’s the number one trougher and piggy.
After the Euros she might now join luminaries such as Charles Clarke in calling for Brown to go. Will it topple him ? If she wasn’t such a hate figure to the public and mired in the Expenses shit definitely.
But she’s damaged goods.
Still, the odds on Brown going have shortened.
From the Blears resignation speech:
“My politics has always been rooted in the belief that ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things, given the right support and encouragement.”
Ouch. You tell him girl!
And she should know…having become a cabinet minister with no discernible ability
This SNP no-confidence vote could be interesting – rather than vote against the motion, how many Labour MPs might just abstain?
“I am glad to be going home to the people who matter the most to me: the people of Salford.
“Finally, there’s an important set of elections tomorrow. My message is simple: get out, squeak a bit and pass the nuts. Is that a walnut? Yum. “
Hazel’s going going going gone. And before a PMQ’s too. How dreadful… for Gordon. And hHow convenient, he must be wearing the double reinforced underpants today.
Labour haters of Brown had better watch out, they risk crucifying Brown which will generate sympathy for him rather than oust him, the last thing they need is a Christ figurehead. Silly Labourite people, they so deserve to lose the election with this childish behaviour. Looking back it’s all we’ve known from Labour really over the past few years, especially after the back stabbing of Blair. What goes around, etc., I suppose.
…they risk crucifying Brown which will generate sympathy
Brown as a Christ figure?
Lie down in bed and wait for 8 hours, the effects will pass.
Oh bugger. She seems to think she’s entitled to carry on as an MP. Worrying that she thinks Labour values are our values. Are we a nation of criminals??
Oh dear – we have a deluded chipmunk on the loose:
“”I am glad to be going home to the people who matter the most to me: the people of Salford.”
One has to ask if the chipmunk matters to the people of Salford anymore – or is it a case of “pin a red rosette to a chipmunk and they’ll vote for it?
Which home would that be then? Must be very confusing for her, poor dear.
Fraser nelson(?) on BBC24
Brown’s motto – when you get to the very bottom, you just keep drilling!

This is like digging a well and then finding a UXB at the bottom.
Chirpy, chirp, gone, gone?
The last two days have been like a continual Christmas present opening session…..
At midday we shall have the comic turn (PMQ’s) and then we can eat the Christmas meal – Brown going beserk on TV and being injected by a Doctor (remember the Russian sub disaster and the mother being “sedated” by the KGB woman?)…..
For my birthday present ,I would like The Greens to beat Labour tomorrow.
Blimey!
What will happen at PMQ’s??
The Front Bench will resemble a park see-saw when I sit on it with my child at the other end;
Lightweight’s hanging on by a thread in the Cabinet at the one end
and on the other end;
The Home Secretary (extremely heavy),The Chancellor,The Communities Secretary,The Children’s Minister……
What on earth will the criminal Brown say? This could have more viewers than Britains Got Talent…

I just read Blears on Sky. This is panning out wonderfully. MP’s in the cabinet have now reached a conclusion that despite the troughing they can present themselves as good grass roots MP’s if they resign from Government and distance themselves fast from Car Crash Brown. This will give them at least an outside chance at least of being re-elected at the next GE
Wimmin are the deadlier of the species, any hetro knows that…….
3 weeks…. Brown & Balls = Harriot & Hazel? All wimmin team claws back 15% of the vote over the next 12 months, Parliment gets suspended every 28 days………
This is soooooo much fun.
Just heard, in the bar (naturally) that Hazel is not the only one going today. Apparently another big name, plus backbenchers in revolt.
Must keep up with the ten pin bowling for the strike. Roll the ball….
In fact , both the Balls would be a real strike.
Oh, Ostrich consider how the world we know
Is trembling on the brink.
Have you heard the news, may I hear your views,
Will you tell me what you think ?
The Ostrich lifted its head from the sand,
About an inch or so;
‘Will you please excuse, but disturbing news
I have no wish to know.’
Oooh, Peek-a-Boo, I can’t see you,
Everything must be grand.
Boo-ka-Pe, they can’t see me,
As long as I’ve got me head in the sand.
Peek-a-Boo, it may be true,
There’s something in what you’ve said,
But we’ve got enough troubles in everyday life,
I just bury me head.
PMQ’s is going to be wonderful.
A close-up of Braun’s Hitler-esque not clunking, but trembling fist would be a treat.
Reuters 11:10
Gordon Brown has announced a State of Emergency, dissolved Parliament and has cancelled tomorrow’s elections. He has also stated that the General Election will not be held next year as he will still be sorting out the economy and MP’s expenses.
Brown has also dispensed with his Cabinet and vigorously denies that this is because no-one will serve with him execpt a Tory turncoat and a couple of Gonads.
The BBC’s Political Editor, Nick Robinson, reports that this is a good thing for the UK as what the Country needs is a period of stability.
Pressed for more detail Brown declined and stated that there will be no further interviews given by him for the next 2 years.
Matt cartoon today says it all, really :

There is of course a precedent for this. Balfour made a complete hash of things as PM, and despite having a whopping majority, he and the Tories simply gave up and handed over to me. I called a general election in 1906 and won by a mile. Clegg, boy, take note.
I looked at the odds on betfair and if that’s anything to go by Gordon’s toast, will a new leader have a honeymoon and call a snap election?
It’s time someone tracked down Jim Devine and question him whqat he has
done with taxpayer’s money: It seems he has gone to ground and can not
be contacted I trust his salary will be ‘docked’ for the time his constituents
have been deserted and unrepresented.
Toenails just about admitted brown is toast.
Guido:
Why do your friends in here persecute me so?
All I have attempted to do is to highlight how economically illiterate you are!
Gideon wanted to shut the banks down and sell their assets.
Nobody in the whole wide world agreed.
Why do you suggest Conservative Victories when nobody takes them seriously, even in Zimbabwe?
Even the former Soviet Bloc Countries think the Tory model of collapse to be ludicrous.
Banana Republics, although house Tory Donors, agree that Cameron is shot through.

Ahhh, it’s just like the old days. Ain’t nostalgia great? The unelected Prime Minister made the fatal mistake of plotting against Tony and Peter who can now instal their new Head Boy, Postman Pat Johnson. It’s a hat trick: Lady M at the Foreign Office, The Rt. Rev. ensconsed in Brussels, and the new Head Boy gratefully doing as he is told.
That does appear to be the latest plan of these mice and men. Who knows, they might succeed. ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’. Machiavelli would be impressed.
I know I’m a bimbo but couls someone please explain why the pundit on the Beeb yesterday said that the timing of Smith’s resignation was not calculated to harm Gordon, rather the opposite, as it would be worse following the anticipated election results, yet Toenails (who appears to have been present at the meeting between Blears and Brown, he relayed it in such detail) says today that the timing of her resig announcement is completely calculated and designed to cause damage?
Yesterday, senior political correspondents at the Beeb and Channel Four were parroting the line that there was no orchestrated campaign in the resignations, but I believe the adage: ‘Nothing in politics happens by accident.’
Today, it is plain to see that some media outlets look like fools for ’spinning’ the Party line. Eejits.
Watching Darling during the PMQ’s, he looks like a man who has had any life,any blood totally knocked out of him – almost a dummy.
Then watching Ball’s,by God he is a frightening man to have to look at – and he was nodding all along when the criminal Brown mentioned economics.At one point he either winked at someone in the gallery above,or he had a nervous tick which will surely become a whole head movement within a few weeks of becoming Chancellor (suppose it could co-ordinate with Brown’s mouth movement thingy?)
PERHAPS – Darling will announce own resignation today?
But most likely not – this fraudster is going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of No.10
I think that if Alan Johnson took over & put through an immediate referendum on PR Labour would have a good chance of winning & a very good chance of stopping there being a Tory majority. If Labour had produced a referendum while the Conservatives had denied that we were entitled to one & then said they would not legislate the result it is difficult to see many people wanting to vote for Cameron.
It was announced yesterday that David (ship jumper) Freud was not only to be made a Tory Peer, but that he was also to sit in the Shadow Cabinet as Minister for Welfare Reform.
So, an ex-banker is to be given power and influence in a possible future government (Labour loved using bankers on its committees and review boards, etc). He will have an important cabinet brief, but will not face questions in the commons, as he has not been voted in as an MP, nor, for the same reason can he be censured by the electorate (Mandy anyone?).
The New Tories claim to support reform in both houses. They say they want change. Yet in this instance, they have copied a dubious, and arguably anti-democratic, tactic used so often by the now discredited party of government.
New Labour is dead. Now is the time to start to make sure that the next government will not repeat the same mistakes or use the same discredited tactics.

When Cameron sacks parliament’s biggest troughist by miles, king of the tax-dodgers Ashcroft, I’ll believe his anti sleaze promises.
Till then, I rank him as big a bullshitter as Brown and Clegg.
Guido – I think you are a complete Hoon, but I have to say that I agree with every word that you have written on this post.
Mr Brown has been incredibly lucky to survive this long. Perhaps he has because GORDON(when spelt in reverse- NODROG) rhymes with NO PROB! The Labour Party ship is barnacled and green as grass below.
Hooray, I’m glad Purnell has gone. He was always a right-winger. In fact, I never could never understand why he didn’t join the Tory party.
Now we just need Brown to follow Purnell’s example and do the decent thing for the good of the country.
