City Swept by False “PM Resigns” Rumours
Dealing rooms cheered as rumours swept around the Square Mile that Gordon was gone. Downing Street had to issue a denial that the Prime Mentalist had resigned. Soon Gordon, soon…

24 hours early perhaps?
Is it true that Susan Boyle has phoned Number 10 and Westminster asking about Gordon Browns mental health?
I don’t know – I mainly plays pop
Minesh a treble Cheggers! Cheers!
Show us yer willie!
Boris Johnson has fallen in the water.
This “left” and “right” ding dong is like watching engineering and marketing tear each other apart. Somwhere in there people might like to focus on shipping a product and customer service. Politicians (and Labour politicians) are nothing special whatever their *sigh* ideology or status *rolls eyes* as MPs. Nobody is “entitled” to win but nor is crashing and burning inevitable. People are looking like prize tools at the moment and need to focus on getting over themselves.

No, the fool staggered.
I have a theory, it is the Gods of Mount Olympus toying with him.
You fell in Boris.
ALAN SUGAR TO BE MADE A PEER – LATEST BS FROM THE TIMES
A….hahahahahahah
It’s wrong to make fun of mental health issues.
Look what happened to me.
Please note that only comments signed thus are really by me, all the others are clowns trolling and flameboxing me.
However not all posts signed thus are really by me. Only posts with bizarre drug-fuelled defences of the discredited Labour party, incoherent references to Taoism, and fraudulent claims to have invented some vapourware that nobody has heard of, can be verified.
I’m Charles Hardwidge!
I’m not.
Who, I wonder, can top this epic savaging of Brown, though?
And it appeared in the Indy, of all places!
It’s true she phoned, but not to ask about his mental health – everybody knows he’s fucking barking mad. No, she wanted to ask about the vacancy for Home Secretary. Apparently McDud says she’s now the front runner.
Couldn’t do worse than the other possibilities

Boris falls in river:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8082995.stm
Loved the background comments – sure I heard ‘classic’, and ‘he’s mental, innie.’ (As a statement not a question).
At least it wasn’t the creek where McTwat is foundering without a paddle…
Anyway, Boris seemed to take it all in good humour – which bodes well for our future Prime Minister ;o)
Can you imagine if it was Jonah McMental?

if it was hashbrown she would have put her foot on his head !
“Mr Brown cast his postal ballot before the polling stations opened, allowing him to remain behind closed doors, hammering out a survival plan”
I think they meant ” Stammering ” ?
He went in and came out with style!
The BBC’s coverage of the elections has been appalling today. Utterly absent and where not absent, utterly biased.
Abolish it.
I love you Keith.
I guessed
Steady there.
guido purnell quits
PUNELL RESIGNS. It begins

James Purnell has resigned from the cabinet, not long now.
Flint flanneling something rotten.

So what? I had a threesome with mister blobby and your mum!
Say it’s not true mummy
It’s true…but why did you let Mr Blobby bum you & then suck his cock until he spurted his blooby juice right down your throat?
Hey – you of all people should know: What Mr Blobby wants Mr Blobby GETS!
P.S Your Mum said Hi.
Hahahaha. Should have read the full name I was replying to. I guess I just outed myself as a blobby sausage sucker AND a grandmother lover.
Eh, at least I’m not Gordon Brown.
So, Cameron and Clegg mouthed off in parliament and the media rumour mill has gone into overdrive? It’s just talk and speculation. They only want backbenchers to wet themselves and start blabbing on media sofas. If people just put the offical line and get back to doing their jobs these vested interests have nothing.
This is a trick Guido has to learn because he looks like he’s lost control over the past couple of days. He’s writing the headlines the Tories and media want instead of staying focused, developing a coherent theme, and keeping reasonable moderation in gear. The tail is wagging the dog and with something more serious he’d be dead.

Ooooh, you are a big blobby, mister. Now, Deal or No Deal?

Wooooohooooo! And did the Stock Market soar? Even if it’s not true and the SE took off, it would be damning for Brown.
In the unlikely event that you do, they wouldn’t mention the cheering.
Looks like there was an upward spike in the FTSE at about that time. I wonder if the sudden drop in the Sterling:Dollar rate was as a result of the rumour proving to be untrue.
Euro off 1.5 cents as well. though that could be linked to the Bank holding interest rates
When was that then? I saw the pound DROP by 1.5% at 13:00
I thought that was the wrong way!
That was on the news that Keith Vaz had been made Prime Minister.
Keith can drive a taxi and knock out a decent curry
Top bloke
I’d heard a whisper from the stable that Keith Harris had been approached, but Orville talked* him out of it.
*beaked?
What – and he has stolen the remaining gold and has it stored under his Stanmore house (2nd/3rd/4th house,I gave up counting…).
Correct, markets hate uncertainty…
I know that, but £/€ has been improving over the last couple of months.
And isnt it obvious that Brown’s going sooner or later.
I had wondered whether that was because they thought more rounds of quantitative easing were becoming less likely with more pressure on Brown.
nope – it’s an indian summer, IMF in by the Autumn
The pound is only doing better against the dollar because the dollar is beginning to crumble even faster than the pound.
Think two people without parachutes falling to the ground. The other guy may be going down faster than you, and relative to him you’re rising, but it doesn’t really mean you’re going up!
Check out Peter Schiff for more:

Neat little ploy to pick up some cheap shares?
FTSE didn’t really move, pound dropped 1.5% to both the US dollar and the Euro, although it has recovered a third of that in the last 20 minutes though.
As Guido says, the markets hate uncertainty, the first reaction to any unexpected news will almost always be a drop, then a recovery or a gain as the news is digested appropriately.
Oh God, you’re not going to start whingeing about your mortgage payments again are you Steve?
No mention of mortgages, only that the pound has lost 5 cents to the dollar (c.3%) and 3 cents to the Euro (just over 3%) in the last 36 hours…
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/fds/hi/business/market_data/currency/11/12/intraday.stm for the fancy graphs, the one thing the BBC does okay at…
and yet the recovery disappeared.
It all looks like guesswork to me. So here’s mine…
86p/€ was overvaluing the pound. Traders might have suspected that and so at the bad news they got jumpy. Then they thought about it (and thought “not that bad really”) and thought about it some more (“actually its worse”).
I’d still rather put a quid on Bono.
I think the reason the pound dropped is because a new administration would have to have a very rapid emergency budget to try and stabilise the economy.
Opening the books and getting 12 years of dodgy financing deals, and desperate roll the printing presses tactics exposed, is unlikely to improve the current market perception. It will at least get the truth out and provide a starting point for recovery grounded in a realistic appraisal of our circumstances.
Only yesterday policy Exchange stated we need an immediate £50bn cut in government borrowing to avoid a sovereign debt crisis. Most of the increases in Govt. spending are NOT to fund the recession, but to fund public sector cost and debt interest increases.
I still think it’s a close call between “Back In The Night” and “Going Back Home”.
The Penguin
Considering that the average sick leave taken in the probation service last year was 27 days (yes – 27 days!!!!) there is quite a lot of fat to be cut from public services without causing any reduced levels of service. In fact, service provision might even improve.
(the source for the above was Radio 5 live, heard whilst driving home tonight)
Will we hear this on the Brown Broadcasting Corp then ? (when it actually happens)
Probably three weeks later as a toenails exclusive.
And 8 weeks later on Brown Broadcasting Corp World!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
Three weeks? Has he ever been that quick?
It took the BBC four years to respond to why it reported that WTC 7 had collapsed (and how and why it collapsed) a full 24 minutes before it actually did collapse.
their four year late response first was denial, until the clip was posted all over youtube, then it was to lie and then it was put down to fast moving events.
They still have not said WHERE or WHOM they received that information from on that day.
This information was reported without caveat or warning that it was even unconfirmed. Indeed in the very same part of the news broadcast, the same journalist reported that an emergency treatment camp had been set up for injured police and fire crews, but that had yet to be confirmed.
I would not have minded, but the bloody building was STILL VISIBLY STANDING IN THE FRAME BEHIND THE JOURNALISTS HEAD!
The BBC needs to be scrapped. It is full of Common Purpose communists and enemies of the state, it is infected with all sorts of extremist PC bullshit and has become a propaganda outlet for the obscene and unscientific religion of human-induced climate change. You know, that same cult that wants to kill over a billion humans to protect the same planet that has existed for four billion years before we came along. They believe that the climate should be in some sort of stasis and and worry that we could be causing change….
The default state of the climate always was and always will be a state of change, climate change is NORMAL. It is those cultish freaks that claim that there should be stasis and then they have the cheek to label followers of the real and observable empirical evidence (instead of the false and flawed theories backed by inadequate and flawed computer models) “climate change deniers”!!!
Honestly, Hitler started a war that led to the deaths of 50 million people and was rightly branded a monster.
Climate alarmists want to kill Billions of us and are given the Nobel Peace Prize.
It’s fucking insane!
rant over.
Two conspiracy theories nicely placed together.
I agree with you on one thing.
I am not into wild and unprovable conspiracy theories. I only go on what can be proven and is solid and knowable.
An independent, scientific, peer reviewed paper shows categorically that “nano-thermite” was used. How did it get there, and WHO placed it there.
Nano thermite was not used by people in a cave in Afghanistan…
Neither did people in a cave in Afghanistan get the entire US air defence system to ignore the hijacked flights.
It was not people in a cave in Afghanistan that ran the drills on 9/11 that had bogus hijackings on Defence radar screens and actual flight hijackings as drills on the same day as 9/11 with most of the eastern air defence system out of the way over Alaska running drills simulating attacks by the (then) friendly Russian Federation.
Who was co-ordinating those drills? Dick Cheney.
Note it was not guys in caves hired, trained, armed and funded originally by the ISI on behalf of the CIA. The same CIA that was still arming and training and funding them in 2000 to fight the Serbians in the Balkans.
What happened to the officer who was in charge of NORAD on the day that they had the greatest fuck up in America’s defence in their history? He was immediately PROMOTED to head of joint chiefs.
What happened to the evidence in the radio tapes from the air traffic controller? It was cut into pieces, placed in separate bins and disposed of.
What happened to that operator who broke federal law by disposing of evidence of a crime? NOTHING.
Well, the entire crime scene in New York was cleared away without any official forensic investigation into what caused the only collapse of steel framed skyscrapers in history, before or since.
There are many unanswered questions and lies (from ALL sides) about 9/11. There are loads of ridiculous conspiracy theories that do not help us get to the truth of what has caused the last 8 years of hatred and wars and deaths and torture and restricted liberties in response to 9/11.
One of the least convincing and most easily debunked conspiracies is the OFFICIAL narrative of the conspiracy that does not even come close to explaining all the inconsistencies of what happened that day.
We need a new REAL INDEPENDENT OPEN INVESTIGATION into 9/11
Maybe the BBC just makes mistakes. Or is that too naive an explanation?
I’m amused that you use the term ‘enemies of the state’ to refer to those you call communists. That tin-foil hat must be itchy.
save the earth – i keep all my stuff there
I shot JFK and the BBC still haven’t reported it.
Now you’re getting it.
I agree. I saw the men planting the stuff. it took months. But I saw them doing it. Each night a team of 50 construction workers came in, ripped out the walls, laid explosives, them replaced everything exactly as it been. re plastered, reconnected everything. They even left the hats and coats, and desk photos and pens in exactly the same place. they took photos before they started see.
They did a floor a night . it took 6 months. No one noticed a thing. not maintenance, not security,not transport, not the port authority, not the fire dept. not CCTV, not the workers.. No one.
Except me. Me!
I have the proof. Write to me for the pictures.

Typical. You wait for a 9/11 conspiracy theory to come along and then 2 come along together at the same time. Makes one think there must be something fishy about it …
Good rant, interesting POV re:Climate.
WTC 7: Blatant message there for any decent minded activists: ‘We know you are paying attention and we don’t care because we are all powerful. (Do not fuck with us)’.
Tosspots.
We’ve had this before. It’s NOT a peer-reviewed journal and thermite is, quite simply “aluminium metal and ferric oxide”. “Nano thermite” is: tiny particles of aluminium with tiny particles of fucking IRON.
OK? Is that hard to understand?
At an urban site where two large hunks of flying aluminium burned, and most buildings were made with a ferrous material, two scientific illiterates found…….
particles of burned aluminium and iron.
Jesus H. Christ.
Errrr, if there is a New World order Conspiracy of the type you describe with the will and capability to kill thousands of people, isn’t it a bit foolish to come on a public site to expose them?
For the record, I’m a great fan of the NWO, NSA, Cheney, CIA, Mossad, Bilderberg, Illuminati, etc. A great bunch of blokes and I’m fully supportive!
Anyway, we’re really interested in your theories about the Moon landings… no we are, really…
And have you seen that video clip claiming to prove that the third plane that hit the Pentagon was actually a fucking guided missile? Madness!!

Shagging a porg has always been a fantasy of mine.
you forgot one major player..
Mandelson was born in London in 1953, where his father was the advertising manager at The Jewish Chronicle. On his mother’s side, he is the grandson of Herbert Morrison, the London County Council leader and Labour cabinet minister.
He was educated at Hendon County Grammar School. In his youth, he briefly rebelled against his family’s Labour tradition due to Labour’s support of the United States in the Vietnam War and in 1971 left the Labour Party Young Socialists (LPYS) to join the Young Communist League, then the youth wing of the Communist Party of Great Britain. This move was partly a result of disagreements with the Trotskyist Militant tendency that had just won a majority in the LPYS nationally.
He read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at St Catherine’s College, Oxford University (1973-1976) and, after returning to the Labour Party, became director of the British Youth Council in the late 1970s. As BYC director, he was a delegate in 1978 to the Soviet-organised World Festival of Youth and Students in Havana, Cuba, with Arthur Scargill and several future Labour cabinet colleagues.[9][10] He was elected to Lambeth Borough Council in September 1979, but retired in 1982, disillusioned with the state of Labour politics.
That Mandelson bloke sounds like an utter Cnut to me. Thank fuck he’s not in government, we would be fucked.
Good grief I’ve just broken wind!!
Stalin’s corpse was left about 3 days before his aides ventured into the bedroom. Perhaps we should just wall up Downing St like they did to deranged nuns in the Middle Ages and send in the SAS 3 weeks later.
But we have all the tapes already
SO won’t worry…
NWO method of operating is to hide in plain view. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Dirty Rat, I was so struck by your use of the word ‘porg’ that I looked it up. According to Wookiepedia, Porg was a male Trandoshan bounty hunter hired by 8t88 to kill Kyle Katarn. What exactly do you know about Blears that you are not telling us?
Is anyone aware of latest odds on Brown going, say in next week, month etc ?
When will Brown no longer be PM?

Cheers, best get down the bookies now then
hahahhaha. It’s absolutely staggering that the man is still in his position. Rumours of him going, people signing resignation letters, cabinet members quitting, MP’s refusing to take cabinet posts.
He’s PM in name only and yet he still wont go. Incredible.
It’ll take an ambulance, several police and a trip to the Priory Clinic, to see him off and away…
Or, just one well placed sniper….
or the barmy army
Just tell him that there’s a good photo op with people who love him in his own constituency and the moment he’s out you change the locks.

We have already offered our services for Saturday when the Great Gorgon is supposed to be getting sand kicked in his face on the Normandy Beaches.
Obama and the boys could arrest him for war crimes on Saturday. Sorted.
I just checked the BBC but on such an important day for Labour they lead with Obama waffling on about Muslims. The elections barely warrant a mention.
There won’t be bottles of champagne scattered about the floor at Beeblabour HQ tonight!
Come on Cameron – dismantle the BBC when you get into power. I think I can live without “Snog, Marry, Avoid” and “Ow! My Balls!”
Yeah, Obama story yawn followed by mandatory anti-Tory Borisk Johnson stumbles while helping to collect litter. CU NTS
Boris walked in to it.
There was an odd announcement on the news.
“America is engaging with Muslims.”
Should that be “Christians are engaging with Muslims” or “America is engaging with the Middle East”
Funny I thought that was always their problem “America engaging Muslims”…with bombs,bullets,torture etc
true that.
For the last 15-20 years I’ve noticed that most conflicts were between a country and Muslims. Draw your own conclusions.
Not many muslims in the Basque region, or Northern Ireland for that matter. Ditto Georgia.
Islam forbids Usury and values personal independence and responsibility.
Islamic countries are the last countries to fall to fractional reserve central banking of fiat currencies and corporatocracy.
The rest of the world (except North Korea) has already been given to the international banks in collateral for loans from the central bankers. So the only places left to conquer are some Islamic countries and North Korea.
Is it a coincidence that the only countries in the world that did not have a central bank, or an invading western army in them, were the same countries listed by Bush as the Axis of Evil?
You are wrong there, Mr Ned. Iran has a central bank, Bank Markazi Iran.
We do a nice portrait of Ayatollah Khomeini on the 1,000 rial note – quite artistic if I may say so!
BBC would dearly love there to be such a thing as “The Muslim World”. That way they will know who is in charge and to whom they can turn to be told what to say/write.
They love concepts like “The Arab Street”, which broadly means the opinion of the man – and it is always a man – who has the largest militia/arsenal and who is the most brutal repressive of anything remotely resembling individual opinion.
And that’s because the BBC is a collectivists/socialist organisation. It has an editorial position and anything which doesn’t agree with it, must be wrong. It likes those nice men who chop off peoples hands for stealing and regard women as second class citizens, because they have created a world where everybody agrees with everything, so no conflict at all, how lovely!
Broadband TV for everybody with everything on pay per view. The end of the TV tax and no more trebles all round!
That could explain why they supported and dutifully reported Labour’s lies about WMD as established fact. Getting rid of Saddam allowed the Islamic fundamentalists to take over Iraq and suppress their women.
Women had rights under Saddam. They could dress how they liked, become educated, work in any industry and were in the Government.
That ended when Saddam was overthrown.
Up to a point – consider the situation of the Shia Iraqis and the Marsh Arabs under Saddam Hussein. Being able to wear a mini skirt isn’t much a human right when regular pogroms are carried out against you.
Lefties in general (with a few honourable exeptions ) seem to have an inbuilt attraction to Islam. I think it’s because they have major traits in common; a dislike of personal and economic freedom, a love of collective rather than individual action and a hatred and mistrust of any dissent.
Anyhoo, we’re still stuck with McDoom. I reckon he’ll have to be dragged kicking and screaming from No 10- he won’t go voluntarily.
Most of the BBC is a gay pick up joint, that’s what people I know who’ve worked there tell me, anyway.
And there’s that old, Arab saying. “Women for children, boys for pleasure”. Yes a caliphate would suit the BBC…
The Tories should appoint Mandy to wind up the BBC then
Call it “privatisation”..
He could then take all the BBC queers off to some private joint…
And have fun with them..
But not at our expense !!!
I’m a lefty and I think Islam is a bunch of shit.
Put that in your fucking pipe and smoke it.
As an Old Labour lefty, I hate all Middle Eastern religions and most of their adherents, with the possible exception of Zoroastrians, who have not pissed me off so far.
I’m not a Dhimmi or a Shabbat Goy, and object to anyone following either Islam or Judaism being allowed to hold power in my country.
Generally, BBC correspondents aren’t allowed to report on any politics on election day until after 10pm, due to Ofcom regulations, that’s why it’s all gone a bit quiet.
When the clock strikes 10.01 tonight, I suspect all hell will break lose
But they are allowed to mention there is an election today. On the 8 o’clock Today news headlines this morning, they didn’t mention it at all.
A low turnout might give the Labour apologists an excuse as to why they did so badly. Apathy….
Well it’s not worked — according to the ladies at the polling station desk, “We’ve never known a higher turnout for any election, GE’s included”.
good job QT not on until 10.30 or all they’d talk about is the weather and squirrels
SMA is class telly.
Mainstream broadcast media is forbidden from reporting on political stories during the actual polling period of 7-10. More power to the blogosphere
Regulations on the way. Just one more term please.
who says so?
He won’t go. He’s like the sodding Terminator.
Does anyone know if there is a blast furnace he could be lured to?
I’d bet my last tenner that a 0.5 calibre round from a Barrett Light would persuade the fucker his time is over.

Nah, a 50-calibre from Ma Deuce will be significantly more effective…
Need that creepy guy from “No Country For Old Men” with his cattle bolt.
M90 or M95 ? (I prefer the M95)
Where would you like the round to go ? at 854m/s with his goodlooks he could get a third eye free , alas he only has one as we know.
M107 every time please Mr Barrett!
Yep, the M107 will do nicely.
The Penguin
Hmmm there’a a precedent here… Spencer Percival was shot by a .50 cal pistol
“In 1812 Bellingham again went to work in London, where he renewed his attempts to win compensation. On April 18 he went in person to the offices of the Foreign Office where a civil servant called Hill told him he was at liberty to take whatever measures he thought proper. Bellingham had already started preparations for resolving the matter in another way, and on April 20 he bought two half-inch calibre (12.7 mm) pistols from W. Beckwith, gunsmith of 58 Skinner Street. He also arranged with a tailor to have a secret inside pocket put on his coat. Around this time, he was often seen in the lobby of the House of Commons.
After taking the family of a friend to see a water-colour painting exhibition on May 11, 1812, Bellingham casually remarked that he had some business to attend to, and made his way to Parliament. He waited in the lobby until the Prime Minister, Spencer Perceval appeared, then stepped forward and shot him through the heart. Bellingham then calmly sat on a bench. He was immediately detained by those present and identified by Isaac Gascoyne, MP for Liverpool.”
Bellingham ..hot him through the heart.
Bellingham was a patsy. There was a dandy on a grassy knoll with a derringer and another spotter dressed as a milk maid with a springfield musket .68 in his churn..
Its all been covered up..
Only Oliver Stone knows the truth..
Does Mr Ned have a theory about this?
Shot through the heart, and you’re to blame;
You give politics
a BAD name
We are talking about Jonah Mc Doom here , the gun would probably jam!
Dont bother with the head shot, just wing the hoon a few times.

Want to make some cash? Buy as many shares (or sterling) as you can right now. As soon as a general election is announced the ftse and sterling will go through the roof.
We have just had the bear market rally. The FTSE will retreat below 4000 in the months ahead. UK is bankrupt. The consumer is bankrupt. The banks are bankrupt. Pension funds are bankrupt. It will take 20 years to bring finances under control.
Buy gold shares.
Sterling has just risen from $1.35 to $1.64 and is unlikely to care when Gordon goes. It was a simple correction of its fall from $2.40 and not a very big one at that. The Dollar is about to regain the upper hand and Sterling, courtesy of Brown’s financial folly will find itself near to $1.10 within a year.
Mind you the Euro could be on a par, so watch out for those who advocate a Sterling\Euro sisterhood in bankruptcy tuning up once more.

For shit sake I nearly opened that 12year old bubbly.
He’ll be gone soon It’ll be worth the hangover to see that twat out of a job and no longer fucking up the UK. We’re the laughing stock of the world having a prick like him as PM.

“You’re fired!”
It’s probably the story that caused the rumour that Gordon had gone already
If you can’t find anyone elected to help you then make a quick Lord. (Mandelson, Adonis etc etc etc)
Gordon has obviously thought that if Lumley can mobilise the population then some bearded twat with TV exposure can too.

Unlike McBrown, Alan Sugar came from very working class background and made his fortune for himself, whilst employing hundreds of other people in productive jobs and paying loads of taxes. He is entitled to be a prat in his views, and to spend his money how he chooses, because it is HIS MONEY not stolen from taxpayers.

This weeks Sunday Times said that Ed Balls was widely respected in the City.
Surely they can’t have got that wrong?
Can they?
The City boys are usually ahead of the game but they have got this one wrong. Canute had more chance of stopping the tide than we have of seeing looneytunes quit no 10 voluntarely.
There are still vast sections of industry and public services to be destroyed and besides all the population is not been DNA’d yet. He still has work to do…….
The only way this fucker is going to leave voluntarely is to be carried out in a box or under extreme sedation.
He won’t go until the Irish ratify Lisbon.
He must have time to clear up 12 years of incriminating evidence as well…
Watch for staff “transfers” of No 10 staff as well
or “retirements”…
sure sign that the Civil Sevants don’t want to be involved in the shredding, deleting etc
Canute never tried to stop the tide, he was demonstrating his limitations to his nobles. The poor bastard has been misrepresented ever since history teaching became a joke.
OK, so presumably the rumour has been quashed now by No. 10?
Please somebody show me the official denial, with Gordon having to reassure the nation that he is, in fact, and despite the utterly plausible suggestions to the contrary, still actually the Prime Minister
This is too funny.

Robert Peston | 09:39 AM, Thursday, 4 June 2009
There’s been a bit of fuss about a decision by the government to suspend interest payments on £325m of its liabilities – which to some looks like the state defaulting on its debts.
But don’t panic.
This isn’t the Treasury announcing that it can’t afford to keep up the payments on its great mountain of new borrowing, which grows ever-larger as tax revenues dwindle and social security payments escalate.
This isn’t a declaration that the state is bust.
No. What’s happened is that Bradford & Bingley, the nationalised mortgage bank, has stopped paying interest on £275m of subordinated notes and £50m of perpetual subordinated bonds.
Probably a power cut at the printing works
Check the back of the sofa will you Darling?
… so that WOULD be the State defaulting on its debts then, wouldn’t it?

Interesting comments by Paul Farrelly New Labour MP (Daily Mail today)
He says the “black arts” of Labour Chief Whip Nick Brown are “damaging the Labour Party”

It has taken the useful idiots of New Labour 12 years to understand that all New Labour was ever about is “black arts”

I ran a squirrel over on my way to the polling station. I don’t think it was Hazel Blears, but you never know.
Looks like the newlabour slogan ‘go(come) forth’ was slightly off, it will be be ‘go(come) fifth’!
On a turnout of around fifty percent that would mean the newlabour project is dead and buried.

Interesting little fact at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8082897.stm
British MEPs have an 85.8% attendance record. That doesn’t sound too bad, does it? But consider this. How many of us back in the real world would keep our jobs with an 85.8% attendance record?
Shouldn’t their attendance be less than this? Shouldn’t they be spending more time in their constituencies – holding surgeries, listening to people’s problems and ideas, that sort of thing?
I suggest that the 85% attendence may be explained by the generous attendance allowance
It’s only the siso system makes it look so good, not many stay longer than a few minuets.

Probation officers – average of 27 days sick leave a year.
When he goes it will happen very, very quickly.
He has made lots of enemies on the way up with his (and his sidekick’s) ad hominem attacks against any opponent. This is why there was no election when he replaced Bliar, nobody dared.
But as soon as people see that he is mortally wounded they will all want to get their revenge in. So the situation will rapidly cascade.
Hazel proved that his authority is pretty low. The local election results will probably push him over the edge. Also I wouldn’t exactly call him sane so a breakdown could become a part of the mix.
Also Labour MPs can see that nearly all of them will soon be out of a job. A new, less odious, leader with a general election in the honeymoon period may be able to prevent the labour party imploding and disappearing.
Will the one eyed, delusional scot be at the next PMQ?

PM to sack Flint amid fears she will quit
Paul Waugh and Nicholas Cecil
04.06.09
GORDON BROWN was urged to sack Europe Minister Caroline Flint today as Government loyalists moved to head off a leadership plot.
One minister told the Evening Standard it was time for the Prime Minister to remove Ms Flint amid claims that she held detailed talks with Hazel Blears just hours before the Communities Secretary resigned. Ms Flint is being watched like a hawk by party whips amid fears she will be the next Blairite minister to quit.

The most nauseating Goverment Britain has ever had the misfortune to have…
And unelected…
MI5 not very bright are you?
The British constitution is based on the monarch, who is our head of state, choosing a prime minister.
The head of state is not elected and never has been.
If you have a complaint about the bona fides of the Prime Minister take your complaint to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, who appointed the Right Honourable Gordon Brown MP as her Prime Minister.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland does not vote for a President. It is not the United States of America.
Got it?
Blair was en elected PM not Brown you tosser
Now go back to nurse please…!!
calm down MB; sugar levels must be down, your Mummy will soon have your tea ready – remember to ask for 5 a day, it keeps the Doctor away……..
Nobody outside of his constituency voted for Blair, upon which he became a Member of Parliament.
We have a P a r l i a m e n t a r y system.
It has two chambers the House of Commons, which is elected and the House of Lords which is largely appointed and so unelected.
The Members of Parliament in the House of Commons elected the Prime Minister. If they so wish the MPs can vote to remove him.
We don’t have a President, we have a Monarch.
As an illustration of the difference, virtually all of the US Presidents’ ministers (secretaries of state) are unelected. Whereas the vast majority of UK ministers are MPs and so are elected.
That is all, you may go.
The US has one Secretary of State, which is the equivalent of our Foreign Secretary, and that is the elected Senator Hilar Rodham Clinton.
MB you are confused between the roles of the executive and the legislature.
You need to do some more Googling and reading before you start giving lectures on politics and constitutions here. A lot more.

When you say “voted for the first time”, do you mean the first time of several today? You see, up here in Blackburn – provided you are the right sort of person – I’m happy to arrange for you to vote as many times as you like!
Have you voted yet Misog?
Sunday.
how come?
ps you sound grumpy? !
Grumpy, moi? Never.
I’m not resident in the UK.
See you’ve been out to vote. Anti-climax today, always is after so much action the day before. The more you have, the more you want??
yeah…but where your misogynist? put back immediately!!
Where are you? see the fascination….!
I’ve been winding up the Baitwidge Charmster, sorry.

Brown going was a joke reason punted around dealing rooms to explain a recently weakened US$ getting aggresively bought (and the GBP sold) from 1.64 to 1.60 by traders testing whether there are any size sellers out there (which there weren’t).
Most senior desk jockeys realise Unibond Brown (No More Nails) will not go without a fight and certainly not before he sees how bad voting really is.
A few of us suspect that never mind no one wanting to be in his cabinet, there might actually be no one that is keen to destroy their career and darken their own name forever by accepting the poison chalice of being Prime Minister (unless they just want the rich final salary pension).
Once you’ve weeded out all the crooks, shysters, fraudsters and incompetents it doesn’t leave Gordo a lot of material to work with, does it?

In Australia, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Panama, Singapore, Thailand, Fiji, Nauru and Egypt voting is compulsory. You can spoil your ballot as that counts as voting. If you don’t vote you pay a modest fine.
If they did that in this country there would never be another Conservitude government.
Gday to you MB. may I be the first person of the day to tell you to f*ck off. How do you know these countries so well? Sex Tourism? You seem the type.

Sound just up Browns street. Not sure of your logic regarding no more conservitive govts. Many of those listed countries seem to have elected conservitive governments in the past. When you were doing your ‘reading’ did you miss out those chunks as being ideologically disconcerting or did you put it down to false conciousness by the masses?
The inability to have cash available to feed oneself – that equates to a modest fine (your post 274 above) does it? You really are a dismal little turd aren’t you?
What’s that got to do with the price of chips MB? Answer the question: why does compulsory voting mean no more conservative governments? At least try to come up with some logic for your assertion.
And if it was forced on us by a Labour Government, no more Lefties either.
Don’t agree with compulsory voting – if you cannot be bothered to vote, or wish to abstain, then that is fine. I suppose in your case, you could ejaculate all over your voting slip – would be only right and proper behaviour for a Labour troll wanker.
Forcing people to do stuff. That’s the left wing way.
The people own the state, not the other way round.
I suggest that maybe you should read something a bit more informative than Marx?
Marx is not Australian, the obligation to vote there was not brought in by the left. In Australia you are not forced to vote, you can spoil your ballot or pay a modest penalty, which needn’t be paid when a voter is ill or away from home.
If compulsory voting helps to engage the electorate with the democratic process then presumably the country would be more democratic.
How does taking away a freedom (the ability to vote or not as one pleases) equate to more democracy?
Yes, and in case you hadn’t noticed, it generally results in a Conservative government running Australia. KRudd is a just brief interruption to normal service.
We also have a proud history of State Governors and Commonwealth Governors-General removing the commission of venal, incompetent Labour Premiers! HM the Queen should really take a lead from Sir John Kerr and Sir Philip Game in dealing with the Great Gorgon…
Baiter is an undoubted pleb, and also a shit-talking prick.
Australia has regularly kicked Labor out thanks to compulsory voting.
Having lived in Thailand during several coups d’etat, order in that country is certainly maintained only by the existence of the monarchy and the common sense of the military. Recent events there hardly demonstrate the success of the Thai political system, the degeneration of which has decimated its biggest economic sector. My sister is a Thai citizen and has never been fined (modestly or otherwise) for not voting, by the way.
Actually, the criticality of the involvement of the military (domestic or otherwise) in maintaining order is common to many of the contries (the South and Central American basket cases in particular) that Baiter seems to aspire to emulate.
Cypriot elections only cover 2/3 of the island, in case you had forgotten. The rest of the island takes its chances with Turkey’s version of secularism (despite having an Islamist president, the country still attract the bombs of Muslim terrorists – not everyone seems to be happy with the results of the elections!)
Singapore is a virtual police state, and anyone who has been there will know that the penal system extends somewhat beyond mere “modest fines”.
Nauru is a tiny excavated lump of bankrupt bird-shit, chosen only by asylum seekers.
The last Egyptian presidential election was hopelessly rigged, turnout was less than 25% and the opposition candidate ended up in jail.
Baiter – you are a complete cock.
Hmm, the obligation to vote was bought in by the left, yet the populace have often voted right?. Doesnt that defeat your point re no more conservitive govts? Suggest you think it through before posting.
NOT brought in by the left
NOT, got it?
Look up
yeah yeah but substantive point remains. Why does it mean no more conservitive govts?. Oh and while doing your ‘reading’ you may want to examine why your plan makes b*gger all differnce in the countries you name… Eygpt (police state/ballot rigging/turnout in teens/parties banned.)Thailand (the Royal family / Army cancel the vote if the wrong side wins) Fiji (run by the army after a coup, not many votes now) etc etc
Let’s make it really easy for you.
If democracy is worth having it’s worth having.
If compulsory voting is worth having it’s worth having.
If fire is worth having it’s worth having.
If fire injures someone it doesn’t make it bad.
Now relax for a few minutes, it will come to you.
no prick, let me make it easy for you. The issue is not to with the merits of the system. You made the point ‘no more conservitude govts’ under this system. The posts say your system doesnt seem to prevent that. Therefore your point is contradicted.
So, on your own reasoning MB, Labour supporters such as you are too bloody lazy to get off their arses and draw a cross on a piece of paper unless they are under threat of a fine?
Sounds about right to me!
Do you not yet realise how ridiculous you are making yourself look?

Hard working families have less time.
Manipulation by the media often encourages political apathy which discourages voting.
The MPs expenses “revelation” is an example of media manipulation that was meant to encourage political apathy and so suppress voter turnout.
hahaha I thought so.You are a Marxist. You DO believe in false conciousness. ‘If only the proles/hard working families were forced to vote they would all vote in their class interests etc and ther would be no more conservitives etc’… The old ‘we was robbed’ arguement the left are very fond of.
So by that rational all those countries that have this system should be socialist paradises. Yet they’re not? How come.
When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.

Rather OTT since it is only meant to apply to broadcasts not everything they say off TV.
Perhaps Gordon could get a job sweeping the dealing rooms if his current employment suddenly ended? They could erect a gallery and sell tickets so we could all watch and laugh.
He could reverse the trend of BBC people going to work for goverment and get a job there – then he’d never have to tell us what he earned – just like John Humphries here:

Let’s have Brown’s head on the pikes at Downing Street.
Yes, and the four quarters displayed in gibbets in York, Carlisle, Shrewsbury, and Norwich to spread the good word amongst the populace, to feed the crows, and to act as a message to others like him what will happen.

Reply applies to #274
I’ve now had three people claiming that a couple of top resignations are due to be announced either later this afternoon or after voting has closed. Either way the news will be out before midnight.
Can’t rally see where Brown goes now, even his close supporters will be thinking about their own future, the only incentive seems to be Gordons gift of an immediate elevation to the Upper House. No one in their right mind would want to be prime minister for the next session or even during the interim period running up to the General Election.
The next wave of excitement is the Swine Flu Pandemic set to hit the UK, according to a statement issued by the World Health Organisation yesterday (as a full blown pandemic in October) this time its serious people in increasing numbers will die.
Better to get the Election out the way and Cameron installed, the pandemic then hits and blows Camerons recovery strategy out of the water… Brown says I told you so… voting intention then swings behind Labour (with new Leader) and they back in for another 10 years, all very neat.
Re: Swine Flu – I saw someone from the Govt. (Swine Flu Branch) on Sky a week or so ago saying something along the lines of “it’s only mild – we can see this from the lack of serious cases”.
A week is a long time in politics, in swine flu terms seemingly shorter…not in NHS interest ot ramp up the news but the source is genuine have a look at the WHO website… The bug is now killing people ….no panic..
I expected deaths once one of these fools turned up and said “we’re lucky it is mild – no need to panic”
Odd that the serious cases appear to be clustered in Scotland though.

Probably trying to decide who to vote for.
Good point, I think he is in Downing Street. But are MPs allowed to flip where they vote, in their own constituency or in London?
According to the Evening Standard, Brown voted [several times] by postal vote, so he didnt have to leave the bunker
he posted his – couldn’t be arsed getting up – nothing on the telly

He won’t jump (too fucking arrogant) and he can’t be pushed (party rules won’t allow it).
So we’re stuck with the bastard. For another year. Shit
No – excellent news, for reasons already set out on this blog.
I assume you are referring to his comedic value, what will we do when he goes, no HIGNFY, no Broon……….a long hot summer me thinks
No, Harriet, think he means that the longer Broon stays, the fewer votes NuLab get when there’s eventually an election.
That’s probably true, but it seems a little like encouraging a burglar to carry on burgling your house, and to rape your cat for good measure, just so that he’ll be in even more trouble when the police come…

PM Gordon Brown will not leave No 10 of his own will, he will have to be forced out, lets see who has the guts or the backbone to tell him to his face its over Mr Bean. I think much more interesting is who is going to be his successor, did you notice the looks on the eyes of the Health Secretary in PMQ’s, they eyes of a T-Rex ready to bounce on a weak badger, e.g Does the Health Secretary of the balls to take down Stallin. If does not not act he is not the man to be the next PM, if he does act he is the man to be the PM.
The real problem for the rest of us is who’s going to win in the bloodbath that will follow. Brownites or Blairites. IMO a choice between differing shades of shit.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Brown stays until the next election. The real problem is that no-one else wants his job. Why on earth would they want to lead the party into certain defeat at the next election? The sensible leadership candidates will be waiting until after the election so they can have 5 years to prepare for the next one.
“Sensible leadership candidates”? Bit of an oxymoron, I’d say. What sort of nutter would even want to be in the Labour Party, never mind leading the fucking thing?
Someone like straw might like the job for a month or two so he can say he was PM.- for three months

Really disappointed in a so-called libertarian…
Guido is not a true Libertarian, just like all thr other extreme Right-wing bloggers. They all want to control that which cannot be controlled, and desire that which cannot be desired. The Tao embraces openess and shapelessness. A steel blade can snap but you’ll wear yourself down attacking a cloud.
By sidestepping Cameron’s soundbites and sloganised emotionalism one can get inside his thoughts and under his guard. Here, one can paint almost any narrative one wishes and cause Cameron to explode from the inside out. He’s already shown himself to be too keen on going for the easy target or nastily putting anyone down that doesn’t kiss his ass. That’s enough to suggest a direction for other people to explore.
Get some cotton gloves from matron before you go to bed, charles. Wouldn’t want you shredding that already red-raw pecker of yours tonight when you choke the one-eyed vomiting python.
I thought Confucius was dead?
lol.
Crawl back in your hole!
I don’t remember anyone on here saying they wanted to attack clouds. That would be futile.
How can you know that Cameron is going to implode? Or is this another one of your airy-fairy predictions?
As far as exploring orther directions goes, perhaps we should think about emigrating. For the moment though, far better to put one’s energy into the beginning of the end of this government at the local polling station.
Welcome back Charles! We’d missed you, though admittedly, not much.
That’s a repeat, do you work for the BBC
Limpdick, my f’king computer game has just crashed you usless troll.
As the Tao says, “Man who go camping with young girl, has one intent.”
For the hard of thinking, if Guido is a libertarian that doesn’t mean he has to let anyone do whatever they want on/with his website. If he’s a libertarian that doesn’t mean he has to let you into his house and let you help yourself to his booze either.
What it means is that he opposes state interference in people’s affairs and supports the idea that the state should be small and as far as practically possible people should be free to do what they want.
Now if you don’t like this website, take a full refund and fuck off somewhere else. Trolls.

If Gordon goes, we must have a general election though. No ifs, no buts. No weasel words trying to worm out of it the way they did over the EU constitution referendum. These politicians think they are better than us, are entitled to go back on their promises, change their leaders without asking the public’s opinion, then claim outrageous expenses for doing so.
Enough is enough, if Gordon goes we want an immediate election.
It would be a lot better to have a general election so Gordon goes. I for one would take great delight in seeing him and his cronies totally humiliated by the electorate.

Im trying to work something out. Is this baiter fellow pro Gordon Brown or does he just enjoy a good wind up? I’ve been observing his comments for some time now and there’s conflicting signals from the lad.
There is a simple explanation – he is unhinged
It depends on his medication regime. Is it before or after he’s taken the tablets.
I’m sure there’s a care plan somewhere involved.
Trouble is, he’s left the only copy of his medication regime in the back of a taxi.
We’ve spent the last hour on the Naughty Step together and we’ve decided to apply for an under-age Civil Partnership.
Not our fault Mrs Baiter, we keep telling him he’s not allowed on the PC!
Have you checked the Hoonphase calendar?
Brown cast his vote by post FFS.
Is he afraid of coming in contact with the Great British Public who might tell him(in public) what we all really think of him.
He wrote a book on courage but he hides away shitting himself.
What a cnut
yes (got that right)
Nothing to do with hiding away. By having a “postal vote”, he gets to vote 47,000 times.
Have you noticed the fucking security around Brown – he turns up anywhere and the whole block for 200 metres is shut down – no one allowed near him – does he not read this blog- FUCK OFF YOU PIECE OF SHIT BROWN.
Has someone sent him a loaded revolver (full) and a bottle of Whisky yet?
You’d have to instruct him which end goes bang, and even then he’s probably shoot the cat.

What is really pissing me off is the way that government help for business is absorbed by layer upon layer of public sector business ‘advisers’ and hidden behind such quantities of red tape.
For example, we are trying to get hold of a R&D grant for some software we are planning to develop. I have to fill in a 10 page form just to get an appointment to discuss the proposal with some numpty at the local development agency. I shit you not. The form says that only companies able to finance the development work themselves will be eligible for a grant. WTF?
“Government helps businesses with R&D” Nice headline, shame about the reality.
It is beyond me how decisions of grants can be left up to public sector workers. If they had any business sense they would be employed by the private sector.
Exactly. A government scheme is funding the post of ‘Professor of Innovation’ at the local university.
How on earth can you teach innovation? Surely if this person is an expert on innovation, they would be out there, you know, innovating?
Who makes this crap up?
Er, we do ??

There is no help for businesses out there – full stop. The do nothing party is labour. Its all government spin and peddled primarily by mendleson/meddlesom as the saviour – utter crap!
Same thing with the rural broadband grant… it’s just a BT scam to get local government sourcing the best places to make BT some money, over 75% went on consultants and nobody knows who got the other 25% (probably BT).
[...] Guido Fawkes: Dealing rooms cheered as rumours swept around the Square Mile that Gordon was gone. Downing Street had to issue a denial that the Prime Mentalist had resigned. Soon Gordon, soon… [...]
Public opinion has been calling for his resignation for weeks – it will take 6 months or so for this information to get through his thick one eyed skull
at least
Explains why Hague was so evasive. Once Lord Ashcroft of rubbish burglar alarms has given it away he can park the yacht and start living here, I suppose.
The idea of those Krug-swilling Hunts cheering at the prospect of Brown leaving is so ironic it leaves you breathless. We’re in shit the because he and his lettuce-limp government let them them be for years to spunk millions away buying and selling fucking magic beans until they run out of money and he has to bail them out.
That’s gratitude hey Gordo?
That word spunk. Are you James (the village idiot) from the Apprentice.
(i.e spunk up the wall comment)
No, I am James ( the Westminster village idiot ) Purnell
and that’s creme de chicken fricassee up the wall ( apologies to the Landlord. )
“Chew my spunk you bitch.”
It’s not meant to have bits in it. Consult your GP without delay.

You are wrong, it is the wunch of bankers who got us into this mess.
McBroon and his Covenator CNTZ.
Go, in G_ds name GO!
Brown’s friends offensive. Sorry! ON the offensive, Independent talks cobblers, Lib Dems reported to police, plus revealed as whining hypocrites, Hazel Blears vanishes and more polling news
PS Brown NOT resigning? Shame, init?
No.
What would be a shame would be for us to miss out on him being pushed out against his will by a treacherous ‘friend’ while the Labour party disintergrates before our eyes.
I hope the Queen gives him a serious bollocking.
He’ll be there to the last Nokia.
Resignation is to good for him, I want my day at the ballot box to VOTE HIM OUT !
Labour MP’s are too gutless to mount a leadership challenge, they are all as blind as David Blunkett when it comes to measuring the public mood.
I see little chance of a challenge or an election until next year – we live in hope…
An election must be forced – call back the Army from Brown and Blairs wars and get them marching on Parliament….
Can’t be true Mr Fawkes, otherwise it would be considered a political broadcast for the Conservatives on election day and that is illegal.
AH (C)
Gordon Brown will cling on to office like shit on gravel..
We have little hope of him stepping down – his ego is far too big..
To hell with him, then.
Let’s just seal up the bunker and leave him to rot.
British wanks for British wankers.
Mummy loves me, even though I soil the sheets!
No she doesn’t, at least that’s what she told me last night (as i was giving her some true blue Tory loving). She isn’t your mum either, your real mother left you on the steps of London Zoo…
British twinks for me
Fuck off, you know you prefer a tight Brazilian ladyboy.
O/T but what exactly does “twinks” stand for? Found out about MILF a couple of days ago ref our Jaquii, but twinks got me so far…..
Ta folks…..
Twink – American slang for young gay
as in “The twink that started in America”
Come up and see me some time, I am always ready to help explain.
@705: the words ‘and see’ seem to be superfluous ?

Breaking News:
Caroline Flint to resign from the cabinet at 10pm tonight.
Two more resignations to follow this weekend.
Yeah, yeah…
You’re just guessing now aren’t you?
Breaking wind, more like
Caroline Flint going would be a big loss.
Mainly to the photographers who do the “Fiona in Bridport is feeling hot”photos in the back of the contact mags.
Text 45656 – 50+ female
I dont’ want to spoil anyone’s fun — so if you’re reading the braille version of this, skip two paragraphs.
Caroline Flint is a complete munter.
Given that the cabinet has already lost a red-head-biker-dwarf-nympho and a cross-dresing-dyke-flick-addicted-butch-bitch from the cabinet, we can’t seriously complain about losing this aging chav in the bargain, can we?
And they say gallantry is dead…..
Slack tart that she is.
There’s nothing wrong with her minge, it’s your chipolata which doesn’t touch the sides.
leave her alone, she’s bloomin’ gorgeous. Lovely boobs and pert arse.
Not a complete surprise she heads up labours euro election and given they are going to get a bloody nose at the hands of UKIP it as much a reason as any other and there are plenty of others!!
Forget resignations, we want assassinations !!!
Brown will be forced out before the end of next week.
You heard it here first
O/T Sorry – but we went to vote a little while ago and the ballot boxes were too small for the voting papers. In fact we had to leave our voting papers sticking out from the box. Surly this leaves votes open to abuse?
Did anyone else encounter this problem?
I had something sticking out when I went to vote and people were most abusive,
Our voting booth chappie was using a rather fine old wooden ruler to poke the ballot papers into the slot…
Was it the Quelch technique or Wilkins?
Read the posts on earlier threads. I went to vote at 10am this morning in both local and euro elections and they were having problems then !!!!
You just fold the papers,its not rocket science. Just went to vote again and there were no problems at all. And when the box is full up it gets emptied into a sucure bigger box
The euro ballot paper is big enough to reprint the whole of the Lisbon Treaty on the reverse of it and still have room
When it comes to fine slits or small slots I’m an expert, years spent fingering slits and ignoring immigration!
Your poor dog.
Don’t you worry about him, he does everything by sniff, he loves it!
You’re a UKIP voter, aren’t you? We know that they have real trouble with complicated concepts like folding pieces of paper.
Was this Jackie Smith’s box – surely that is like throwing a sausage up Regent Street?
@Yeah, and the lengthy piece of folded paper was my expenses claims for this morning.
Chuckle. I didn’t quite expect that diversity of response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the same it is a serious issue, given the problem that has been experienced with the abuse of the postal voting system.My understanding is that that box in which we post the ballot paper is locked and the key to it and all the other boxes is held by the electoral officer at the counting station.
The tellers at the voting stations should not be able to access the votes , as this means the votes could be tampered with. I have now found a little bit on the web elsewhere to suggest that this problem is being encountered in other places around the country.
There therefore could be, in some places, significant abuse of votes cast.
Nell was it one of the new plastic type boxes and not an old fashioned battered black metal one? It was the newer type at my polling station and seemed a bit small – didn’t seem very secure either.
Thanks for that Rick – I never noticed that -
Oh dear I feel a complaint to our ‘useless local overpaid officials’ coming on.
We’ll have to commission an independent report, tick four million boxes, have 55,000 meetings, produce a 10,000 page document and then carry on doing nothing. Who’s got the Hob-nobs again ??
Word on the street is that Chuck Norris offed David Carradine – he’s the only man who could.
Has that twat Broon died yet? I bet Chuck Norris’s snot could kill broon.
NO. Only Arnie can kill him. Possibly Christian Bale.
Ella Cotter. She’d bash his neeps!
Can we assist ??
Everyone knows that Brown will be flushed out of his cess-pit soon enough, so why is it being dragged out inch by inch, like a tumour being pulled away from the marrow of our nation.
Precisely because New Labour is like a tumor that has wound and coiled its way around every organ of the state.
Ooh you are awful, but I like you.
Exactly
Where are the fucking Police with all this mass theft and fraud ?
And the Crown Prosecution Service ?
In a “Committee”.my arse…
Law has broken down completely now…
Brown may have his smears & dirty tricks, but so do his critics have dirt on him. This will destroy the Labour party if Brown does his usual smear’s but he is vain enough to do all he can to cling on.
I want Labour blood……..
Watching him walk is enough evidence,surely?
Surely its time for the Rocking Horse Photos? – or is Mandy sitting on them?
I picked a particularly good bogey from my nose today. It was the size of a raisin and tasted like one too. In fact I was able to give lunch a miss such was its nutritional value.
Yeah, you’ve got my vote.
You’re just going through the motions.
Can anyone confirm or deny the rumour that a new opinion poll out tomorrow shows Labour back ahead of the Tories ?
Todays election is a “rogue” one and so the results can not be relied upon
That is correct and I can also verify that IRAQ has weapons of mass destruction, the end of boom and bust, all dodgy expense claims where genuine mistakes and Gordons cleaner did in fact do the work attributed to her.
Press Release From Downing St;
Due to ALL of the electorate having undiagnosed Swine Flu,all results from today’s votes are null and void – business as usual – now please let me get on with job of totally FUCKING this great country
There’s a taxi waiting for you at Schipol with the meter running. Tell the missus she’ll not be needing the prophylactic truck.
So in summary: the real action could start after the polls close. Have heard this from a very reliable source as have others.
This chap Master Baiter clearly has something on/in his hands other than time.
Does he live near Clapham Common?
Not with me…
The Queen is sitting on the ‘throne’. Flunkey knocks on the door:
“Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is her to see you.”
Liz: “Well tell him to go away. I can only deal with one shit at a time.”

still true though.

I thought that was the ‘Sir Stifford Craps’ one.
The fun starts at 10.01pm
correct
Oh yes. I have my champagne on ice all ready for the fun. Can’t wait!
Got my Dom ready like Kaufman but £8000 was a bit steep for the TV so will make do with my Sony Brava a snip at only £799 in the sale!! Labour MP’s do not do sales a bit below them and might bump into my working class constituents. Unbelievable.
Did you get your valued VAT cut? Bet that helped you loads…….!!!
I’ve been pissed off with the BBC non-existent or biased coverage of the elections so far.
We should abolish it. Just after we abolish Brown.
I don’t watch the Beeb any more – I got tired of listening to the sycophants too.

Hey Guido
Have you got any of these Labour “releases” embargoed until 10.01 p.m this evening ?!
I hope there will be New Labour blood all over the walls…
Just seen photo of Boris up to his Chancellors in water.

The next Campaign should be for the BBC to disclose “presenters” salaries
And their expenses…
Why should they be the only ones excluded from audits by the National Audit Service ?
When they are published the Great British Public is going to go crazy…
Especially after all of this expenses shit…
Then it will be easy to wind up BBC News and Current Affairs…
as I said in my blog yesterday, Brown will not resign. It does not matter to him if he is not able to do anything for his country, he will cling on regardless. His deranged self-image of his genius & god-given right to rule means he cannot admit that his time is over and that he is a failure.
he wont go easily.

Just went up to vote – the queue stretches down the M3 to Southampton and across to the Isle of Wight – funny,they are all holding machetes and some have tyre’s, while others have matches – wonder what they are doing?…….
“They are the people of England,that never have spoken yet…..”
And Gordon fucking Brown cannot stop us and will never stop us.
This nation must repel this utter monstrosity to save our beautiful country.
Someone should start another online petition or something, maybe even write a nasty letter to go with it.
There is a new petition going round, have you not heard?
Just send an email with your MP’s name in it to: signonnow@hotmail.co.uk. They’ll get back to you with further details.
I just went to vote. There were cobwebs across the door. Mind you, they’d moved the polling station from a local old folks’ home to a private school. I had to go in through a gated lodge, let in by a porter, and across a lawned quad surrounded by Gothic spires. Some bright young things were playing cricket. That would put some of a certain political persuasion off, methinks. Even I found my arse-end of the Potteries upbringing dragging along behind me.
All this talk about Alan Sugar being invited by Gordon to become a cabinet minister!?!?
Does anyone know whether Gordon is able in law to form a cabinet, or part of a cabinet, from celebrities who have not been elected??
I thought cabinet ministers had to be elected MP’s. Is this not so??
No. It is not so. EG Lord Mandelson, “Charlie” Falconer, Lord Carrington etc etc etc
Mandleson is not elected. I suppose he could elevate Sugar to the lords as with Mandleson and give him a post in the cabinet. Surely not though its now becoming a real comedy of errors. The word desperation springs to mind.
Not so – they do however have to be able to answer in Parliament – so the House of Lords serves very well. In Margaret’s time, for example, there was Lord Young and now we have Lord Mandelson.
get Ricky from East Enders on the job to save the car industry, shame Frank Butcher is brown bread or he be da man
Fiona Phillips for Home Secretary anyone ?
#702 please confirm that the half joke is the Fiona Phillips part
Well in that case looks as if we are in for some strange times. Because it is said that both Reid and Blunkett when invited back into cabinet told him no and that he should resign. If he can’t fill his cabinet with elected members and needs to go outside to celebrities – then the cabinet is going to look a very odd animal.
Ed Balls as Chancellor, Sugar for Education, SuBo for Blear’s Communities post, and who shall we have for the home office ??- Nick Robinson perhaps??? And if he has to elevate them all to the Lord’s first – there’s going to be an awful lot of new Lords.!!!! Talk about desperate times!!!! How is this cleaning up politics????
Snotty is a very desperate man and will do anything to save face. The state of the country and the needs of the electorate are very far down his list of priorities.
His stalinist instinct is to ignore the public and soldier on, pushing out endless tractor production figures in the hope that someone, somewhere, will eventually believe it.
And the House of Lords will then sit in Hampstead…
You’re HIRED !
I think he can be a Minister without Portfolio – Like Lord Adonis.
Yes
And did you know that the Labour Life Peer who dares call himself Adonis wrote a book in 1997 called

The spiv Sugar?
All he ever made was shitty Amstrad lo-fi.
Don’t forget that crappy email phone thing that was worse than useless…
it’s a vision thing
Oi!
Your Fired!
Not even Sugar would bow to pressure to help out “at this time of national crisis” without saying “very well then, but only under a new Prime Minister”.
Dont forget the CPC464 greenscreen Home computer….that thing gave out eyeball cancer !!!!
S..S…S..Si…Sir Alan.
I cannae seem tae get the wheel back on this barrow….
….and a car radio aerial or two.
Oh Sugar Sugar
mmmmmmmmmm
What’s more his Amstrad kit was complete old tat. Cast your minds to that electronics rubbish hard to believe he sold any and then actually made money to boot. Still goes to show how many stupid people are out there I suppose.
The Amstrad CPC464 was the shonkiest computer ever released.
No, no, no – the absolute pits was the Camputers Lynx.
Zucker made his money from property speculation – he’s not the business “guru” he seems – perhaps that’s why Cyclops McBroon wants him to add to the rest of his colection of talentless twats ??
yes
and one his main sidekicks (Daily Mail), some “property tycoon” has just gone bust as well …£ 500 million or something down the tubes
They do in in style you have to give it to them
And he’s probably kept the Roller !!
Ha ha…

It’s in the Mail today for Gods sake…
It’s a better than evens bet that there will be a statement at 10.01pm by the one who must NOT be named
!!!!
This is priceless!
Reports are coming out that Gordon Brown has caved in to Caroline Flint and will give her a top cabinet job in exchange for her declaring her full support for him.
More expected after 10pm tonight.
Did Brown offer to squeeze Flint’s blackheads aswell?
Flint demanded a position and Broon’s gonna give her one.
I’m backing Gordon to the hilt
Are they selling tickets?
Dont think she will be there for long, if this is true.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/local-elections/5446094/Local-elections-2009-Labour-faces-the-greatest-disaster-in-its-history.html
Yeah! She might get Purnell’s job, now!
Purnell resigns. How long can Brown last?
Didnt Sugar miss a trick by turning away a young Bill Gates who wanted to speak to him about something called “microsoft windows” ? Appears Sugar thought it wasnt suitable for his computers which were callled emmmmm what was their name again ???
Anyway seems he is the man for Gordon.
Look what it says on the bottom of your Sky HD box.
Would Murdoch be comfortable with the conflict of interests? Or would it suit him just fine?
Bet it was Watson up to his old tricks now he’s had to fall on his sword as well.
Sky news announced again Flynt might be going seems something is afoot. Now that it is gaining momentum might get an announcement before 10.00pm.
Excellent. If only we could get that onto the top 20 download list…..
BREAKING NEWS
The Prime Mentalist Gordon McMental star, of the Political party known as FUK YU has been found hanging naked and dead in a hotel closet.
This is not the first time that McMental has been found to be in a closet
This post is incitement to violence and is hate-speech.

*YAWN*
“Dr Gordon Brown
The new Labour member for Dunfermline East, Dr Gordon Brown, is typical of the brand of mediocre, middle-class careerists who make up an increasing proportion of the undistinguished lobby-fodder and whom Labour habitually returns from Scotland, though he has greater academic pretensions than most.
Brown shot to provincial fame on being elected as Edinburgh University’s first student Rector in the late 1960s and ever since his ambition has outstripped his ability. Although, in a tribute, his old history tutor Dr Paul Addison has stated that Brown was “always more than a swot”, it appears that he lacked certain essential social graces. He never fully recovered from his rejection as suitor by the lovely Princess Marguerita of Romania (who works as a computer programmer in the University’s Computer Department) and ever since has devoted himself obsessively to his political career.
Before becoming Labour’s Scottish Chairman (a meaningless appointment made on the “Buggins’ Turn” principle) Brown worked on a series of current affairs documentaries for Scottish TV which were so excruciatingly dull that he was mercifully taken off the air (he has two brothers in the Scots media).
Once again he has been exceeding his limitations in his new role as a Scots lackey in the outer limits of Kinnock’s kitchen cabinet. A recent Sunday Times article which he had ghosted for the new labour leader had to be withdrawn as “hopeless” by Kinnock’s press officer, Patricia “Harpie” Hewitt.
In June, Brown will enjoy a three-week CIA freebie trip to the USA (he will get $60 a day pocket money while out there.) Kinnock felt obliged to approve this unfashionable hostage to fortune because he himself had been on a similar trip some years ago.”
Go on, treat yourself to a laugh.
WELL FUCK OFF THEN!
Labour = incitement to violence and hate-speech
The Terror, The Terror!
You are such a prat – that comment does not incite violence it is a joke based around someone topping themselves, it is not encouraging people to commit a violent act against someone else.
It is not ‘hate speech’ either as there is no offensive term used in regard to someones sexuality, race etc. The phrase ‘in the closet’ is not an offensive term.
Hmmm, suspect not real Charles. Duck him, just to be sure.
FUCK OFF AND DIE YOU FUCKING WANKER.
Anyone else have the feeling that politics is sitting in the eye of the hurricane today where all is peaceful and quiet and that within a few hours all hell is going to break lose???!!!
BBC Weather reliably predicts Storm will arrive at 10.01pm – winds become hurricane force very soon thereafter.
Gordon says “I’ve battened down the hatches to my bunker and I am absolutely safe and cosy – I won’t hear the howling wind in here”
All is quiet here in Sheen, a slow dribble of voters make their way to the Polling station, there’s a real rozzer with a helmet hanging around, the voting papers are being stuffed into the boxes with some degree of difficulty, but all in all it’s off to the pub for a quick one, and wait for the sh*t to hit the fan at 10.01pm.
Can’t imagine the choas in the bunker…
Shocked what do you mean ” stuffed into the boxes with some degree of difficulty” ??
I posted earlier about difficulties here in Peterborough – ballot boxes are too small and voting papers are being left sticking out of the box – so leaving votes open to abuse. Is it the same there?
Guido I hope you are watching this one!!!!!!!
…not if you keep your legs shut, you won’t.
Guido – how about a palate-cleansing sorbet whilst we wait for 10pm BST – say a quick caption competition?
If we have to go to 10pm before we move out of this ‘nothing’s happening’ state – it’s going to have to be a glass of wine.
Rioja tonight I think.
It is no wonder most of the electorate will vote for none of the main parties they just do not get it or even understand how angry we are. Moreover Brown will get it worse because he has had 12 years to get it sorted and one might argue the change in the rules in 2004 made the rule bending even more possible. It is clear there is one rule for the Government and another rule for the rest of the electorate. My vote today was to demonstrate this and my vote at a GE would be different my lasting hope is that enough people did the same to push the point home to this thick skinned lot of troughers.
Just reporting that Flint has been to the bunker this evening – probably hand delivering the all-important resignation letter (can’t trust the posties, eh Carol?).
Not sure if Brown is in there, or perhaps he is at the Eagle’s Nest/Wolf’s Lair/PM’s shed or whatever?
Still, early night for me tonight then back in sharpish at 09.30 tomorrow to read the results pages in the papers.
If she is thinking of resigning she’ll be sacked first anyway.
Not if she’s quick and talks to the media at 10.01pm.
Unless of course Gordon is planning to do an interview with the media at 10.01pm and announce his new celebrity cabinet.
Knowing how he has trouble in making up his mind ( will the morning committee please advise me whether I should have tea or coffee with my breakfast?) – I don’t think he’s going to be that nimble on his feet.
Listen Gus
You have broken half the fucking rules in the Civil Service Rule book chum to help your Labour friends blackmail each other and other “dark arts”…..
We are going to hang you up in Court as well…
Yes
Gus O’Donnell has been responsible for the disgracefeul to the politicisation of the British Civil Service
Its independence used to be once of the strengths of this country’s system of goverment
This has been destroyed by these Labour motherfuckers as well
With the complicity of our “Gus”
he should have resigned years ago over this…
Broon will need an extra stiffener or two tonight – probably a whole bottle of Gold Watch to anaesthetise himself for the shitstorm which is about to engulf him.
I’m very disappointed in the homophobic, misogynistic and generally hateful comments on this blog.
They are a reminder why Labour needs to win the next election and why only Gordon Brown can delicver the change this country needs – not the reactionary, moat-owning, duckpond-owning Tories.
Vote Labour on June 4th.
hahahaha
You do know today IS June 4th?
Was there some reason you waited twelve and a half hours to remind us to vote for more Labour misery?
Go away troll.
I think you’ll be surprised when the results come out!
are you getting desperate charles ??
Not really.
These elections are nothing to do with the Westminster parties. They are not about Gordon Brown or Cameron, whatever spin Guido puts on them.
They’re about whatever we choose to make them stooge – that’s what democracy is about innit? And today, Charles, they’re about fistfucking Gordon till his one rotten eye bursts and the pestilant c unt finds himself friendless, hopeless, eyeless, with a prolapsed backside and a only the grave to look forward too.
A cheery thought.
Geddit chum? We hate him. We hate them all. We’re enjoying this.
hell, it’s only half eight but what the hell, I’m opening the bubbly – will you join me gents?
‘Not about Westminster?’
Really?
Tell that one to the voters.
Cameron loves being the swaggering hero but behind the mask he’s about as dumb and sensitive as it gets. I’ve had the suspicion that all those accusations of arrogance, nastiness, and dithering he likes to chuck around are just him projecting his own faults and insecurities.
Some people are calling this class envy and an ad hominem attack but that’s just cliche and cheap shot. It’s clear that Cameron’s intellectual foundations are built on insanity. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s also quick to be nasty and doesn’t like it if someone undermines his image. This is a matter of basic competence, teamwork, and ability to go the distance. What you do and who you are matters. I don’t want some over-promoted deadwood middle manager running the country, tah.
Cameron’s basic claim to leadership is just a collection of carefully arranged buzzwords and stroking. He beat his way to the front of the queue and relies on a constant media presence and uncritical media to keep that position. He bolsters that by continuously making bold and positive claims about himself and briefing like mad behind the scenes. It’s pure marketing that hides the fact he has no product and covers up the long-tail of unreformed Tory MPs: turbo-Thatcherism with added bounce.
I think you’ve mis-spelt Blair as Cameron
I counted them all out and I counted at least 3 times more back in !
Every vote will count in the elections on Thursday 4 June. Why? Because Labour stands up for the hard-working British people – not just to help people now but to plan for recovery, renew our society , and reform our government for the future.
Labour is working to win the fight for Britain’s future.
David Cameron’s Conservatives remain firmly rooted to doing nothing. They have set themselves against providing real help now for families and businesses.
The Tories would make Britain weaker not stronger for the future.
The choice is clear. Vote Labour Thursday 4 June.
Pity you are to young to vote this time around Charles. Never mind theres always 2014. By the way your cut and pasting skills are coming on a treat.
Go away you Troll.
Good progress. Next time try and string two sentences together which are your own work !
Now, now. Let Charles speak.
This is a site that reflects a broad range of views. Even idiots are allowed an opinion
What time does nurse come and collect you?
You’re a raving head-case. Labour have ruined this country and let down the very people they were supposed to represent: the working classes. They have bled them dry, left their children ill-educated, left them to the mercy of feral thugs, hospitals which have had billions thrown at them, with little to show except fiddled waiting list times, and a benefits underclass which has little chance of ever being persuaded back onto the jobs market.
Labour will rightly be getting what it deserves soon: a long, long spell in the political wilderness.
The Tories would cut spending.
http://www.labour.org.uk
Ed Balls MP said:
“Michael Gove and David Cameron are silent on whether they would protect school budgets from 2010 and whether they would match our extra funding to guarantee every 16 and 17 year who wants to stay in a place in school, college or an apprenticeship.
“Now we hear that behind the scenes they are planning school funding cuts of over 10% which could see almost 45,000 teachers laid off. Voters face a clear choice – between Labour investment in education and cuts at the worst possible time.
“Jim Knight and I have written to Michael Gove five times asking him to explain what the Tories would do. It’s now time for Michael Gove to respond to my letters and come clean about what Tory cuts to education would really mean.”
* Waiting lists are down by 614,000 since 1997. Most patients are now waiting less than 13 weeks, and by the end of this year nobody will wait more than 18 weeks for treatment.
* Over 99% of suspected cancer patients are seen by a specialist within two weeks of being referred by their GP, and over 99% of cancer patients start their treatment within a month of diagnosis.
* Over 38,000 more doctors and 80,000 more nurses since Labour came to power.
* Investment in the NHS has trebled since 1997.
* Labour has built over 90 new NHS walk-in centres and over 650 one-stop primary care centres, and is investing £750 million in a new generation of modern, convenient community hospitals.
* Cancer mortality rates in under-75s have decreased by 17.1 per cent since 1996, saving nearly 9,000 lives in 2006 compared to 1996. We are saving 31,000 lives from cardiovascular diseases every year compared to 1996.
paging mr Stalin…paging mr Stalin…..
What’s the matter? You can’t handle the facts?
He doesn’t actually believe this does he? Another statistic published today from an independent Swedish analysis to add to your list: Britain is once again at the very bottom of European countries for access to cancer treatments. And that is an independent stat, not one derived by the govt by redefining waiting times etc.
My dad spent 3 weeks lying in a hospital bed waiting to be seen by an oncologist with a lump the size of a cricket ball protruding from his abdomen. My mum managed to get herself killed by her hospital staff. I have a walk in centre nearby. They send everyone across the town to the local A&E if they can’t give a few pills or a lotion. Might all be true, but still shit, Charles.
Charles dickwad
where were they built as they are closing hospitals and the NHS here
Just please go away
Mr Hawtrey
The modern NHS is great, thanks to your labour government! We plebs are ever so grateful! Especially those of us whom have only needed to visit hospital once or twice in the past year. First time, for me, on an overnight stay, I was treated to the sight of a ward sister slapping an alzheimer’s patient across the legs. Poor chap didn’t realise what had happened, but the witnesses did, of course.
Second time, I was treated in some sort of happy camper’s caravan -for an MRI scan for pity’s sake – seemingly in the middle of nowhere -but I imagine the parent hospital was *somewhere* nearby. I guess others have to endure this as well, daily. How fortunate we are, thanks to our dear leader and his fine up-standing cabinet.
Carry on regardless, Mr Hawtrey.
“You want the truth, you can’t handle the truth”
Just ignore the tosser like most of the more experienced on here do.
The tosser knows who he is.
Do you have a cheque for £1 trillion to pay off Brown’s debt? Brown has broken Britain and is still lying & spinning.
Only David Cameron’s Conservatives can save us from Brown debt pile.
* Under Labour we have the longest period of sustained low inflation since the 1960s, the lowest interest rates since the 1960s and the highest levels of employment since records began
* We now have the second highest employment rate and GDP per head of the G7
* Inflation rates have averaged less than half their rates between 1979 and 1997 in the past decade, even after recent unforeseen shocks.
* There are approximately 430,000 more VAT registered businesses now than in 1997, and 350,000 more self-employed people
* Over the last ten years, the incomes of the poorest 20 per cent of the population have grown faster than the richest 20 per cent.
* 600,000 children have been lifted out of poverty
* New Deal – helped over 1.8 million people into work
* Cut number of young people making long-term unemployment claims by over 75 per cent
Tractor production figures alert. Paging Stalin….
I know I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but maybe eventually the truth will get through to you.
You can’t argue with the facts.
Debt, Debt, and more debt!!!! The roof was not fixed and now the house is flooding. So much of the debt is off the balance sheet, it is only a matter of time before it is exposed.
“You can’t argue with the facts.”
Just manipulate the data gathering methodology to suit the desired conclusion eh Charles?
Mrs Mixture – who inhabits one of the areas you mention, believes your facts to be fucked.
Charles what is the definition of poverty ?
This is a steaming pile of horseshit. UK government ‘statistics’ were downgraded for reliability by Transparency International five years ago. Wonder why?
Tell me what the numbers to say and I’ll fiddle the figures !!
Oh bollocks, I’ve already voted. Dam
Hardwidge-I told you the other day: fuck off and die. Hoon.

king hell
The DNA won’t be used unless they commit a crime in the future. If they keep their noses clean they have nothign to fear.
This is more paranoia. Personally I trust the State to protect me more than big business.
the state is paranoid if it is systematically stockpiling the DNA of innocent children. Does anyone really believe that these samples will be destroyed once these kids reach 18 years of age ?
You really are an authoritarian prick
I understand your concerns but they are simply not supported by the cold, hard facts.
* Since 1997 overall crime is down 39 per cent (over 5 million fewer crimes); Domestic burglary is down 55 per cent; Vehicle related crime is down 57 per cent; Violent crime is down 40 per cent.
* Police numbers up by more than 14,000 since 1997, alongside more than 15,000 Community Support Officers
* The risk of becoming a victim of crime is at historically low levels, down from its peak in 1995
* During the past decade more than 20,000 prison places have been provided due to more offenders being brought to justice, including 60 per cent more violent and dangerous offenders, and being sentenced for longer
* Last year over 40,000 offenders entered education, training or employment; we have almost trebled spending on offender learning since 2001; and we have increased investment in drug treatment in prisons by 1,008 per cent since 1996/7.
Whatever you may think of our policy on crime, it is working.

your figures have been discredited & are meaningless
any figures on MP fraud & theft ?
Shouldn’t we be taking their DNA as high risk of offending ?
Not in the House of Commons it isn’t
You need to expand your horizons and open your mind, you have been assimilated into the hive.
Just more meaningless tractor production figures from a discredited government that seems to think that there is a direct correlation between money wasted and improvements gained.
Only a matter of time that one…
I personally think this country is much safer that, due to a motoring offence years ago, plod (who understand nothing about biochemistry) now fingers me for every rape and murder there is going in the hope of using evidence that is circumstantial at best to persuade a jury (who also probably know nothing about biochemistry) that they have a watertight case and nothing more need be done to prove it.
Q. Given the population of LA was around 8 million at the time, around how many inhabitants’ DNA would have matched the sample picked up at the scene of Nicole Brown’s murder?
A. 80.
Given the UK population, this means that a defendant in a crime with no motive, alibi, witness, other scientific evidence, may well be just the first guy of a thousand possibles that came up on plod’s computer.
This notwithstanding the obvious facts that state does not have the right to know more about you than you know about yourself: whether you were brought up by your real father; whether you are going to pass a hereditary disease to your kids etc.
National DNA is fucked.
Having DNA in store gives the police the ability to frame somebody with ease, and very convincingly because courts and solicitors are not trained to examine closely how samples are handled.
A police force that allows officers to cover their numbers so that they can assault the public and get away with it cannot be trusted with a DNA database.
There is nothing more tragicomical than the public having the duty to stop the police from breaking the law at future demonstrations.
The Labour Party is the true Libertarian party.
Capitalism isn’t about the free market it’s about control which helps explain why the Tory party being so keen on it isn’t a surprise. “There is no alternative” and “free market” seems like an oxymoron to me. Of course, these great dunces in the Financial Times are looking at the presentation not the substance so confuse their little heads, completely bypass Communism by default, and miss the real underlying market.
“All things arise from Tao. They are nourished by Virtue. They are formed from matter. They are shaped by environment. Thus the ten thousand things all respect Tao and honour Virtue. Respect of Tao and honour of Virtue are not demanded. But they are in the nature of things. Therefore all things arise from Tao. By Virtue they are nourished, developed, cared for, sheltered, comforted, grown and protected. Creating without claiming; doing without taking credit; guiding without interfering – this is Primal Virtue.”
If you believe in individual liberty, freedom and democracy, vote Labour on June 4th.
If you believe in individual liberty:-
This is the party who want to indroduce ID cards and have been responsible for the massive rise in CCTV cameras, want to introduce 42 days internment without trial?

BOLLOCKS!!!!

Mr Hardwidge.
You have fallen for the Brownian idea of success, that is announcing things and particularly announcing the spending of other people’s mone. There is no correlation bvetween high-spending in education and high-achievement (in fact, almost the opposite is true), and the fact that spending on the NHS (it’s not “investment”- it is just spending) has trebled is nothing to boast about. In fact it points to massive waste. Taxpayers know this and will not stand for it – their only problem is that non-taxpayers and the public-payroll voters are swamping the productive side of the economy.
It’s all Brown’s fault, so Brown and Labour should go.
Apart from the Daoist stuff, you’re beginning to sound eerily like Harman_Pride?
Was it the Vulcan mind meld? Or do none of you have anything original to say except that “tractor production is up”.
You don’t half talk b*ll*cks Charlie me boy.
“Labour is libertarian”. ROFL. Oh dearie dearie me. Got any more like that?
Whadda Hoon.
I do believe in individuel liberty and that is why we should be allowed to thump someone who is anti-social or nicking stuff from us without fear of zanulabour army arresting us.
Families of butchered French students to sue British authorities. The Brits are truly gaining a reputation for being scum, from their criminal politicians, corrupted police and judiciary, to their feral underclass.
All thanks to more than a decade of NuStalin. Thankee kindly….we are officially the pits.
Apparently (I heard reported) one of the murderers should have been in prison. His probation officer had been trying to get responses/action from various authorities involved but was banging her head against a brick wall. She had 100 plus cases to deal with and was snowed under with paperwork. Probably another example of someone on the front line being overloaded/let down by a pyramid of useless well-paid management and lack of coordination typical of this Government. No doubt she’ll be the scapegoat.
yeah, they should have just beat some confessions out of some homeless guy, or some gypsies or arabs. whatever came to hand first.
Would have been much more convenient.
I’m sorry for their loss
Maybe we should bill France for D-Day 1944, we could do with the cash
I’ve an idea for Gordon. How about “Cabinet’s Got No Talent”?
Possible replacements could be:-
Justice Minister – Ronnie Biggs (Poacher turned Gamekeeper)
Chancellor – Nick Leeson (after all, he only lost a couple of hundred million)
Health Minister – Harold Shipman (at least he’d get the waiting list down)
Defence Secretary – Steven Seagal (the ponytailed jap-slapper)
Transport Minister – Captain Kirk (beam me up, Scotty)
Deputy PM – Jimmy Cranky (well, he is scottish)
Education Minister – Stephen Hawkins (until his batteries run out, anyway)
Minister for Food., – John Prescott (just don’t give him the fridge keys)
Goodwin for Pensions Minister? – oops, sorry, too good at it to get appointed.
Nick Griffin at FCO?
No, Gordon’s got Nick Griffin pencilled in for Communities Secretary
AlJaBeeba, the State Broadcaster, has just announced that the Glorious, Beloved, and really Yummy-Yummy Leader Herr Comrade McStalinKimGabeBrownstainovich (whose bollocks we all crave to lick), has, after a doing a pile of jobbys, completed the New Cabinet thingy.
As was widely expected in a ‘Tent ov orl the Talents’ (sic), two recently ennobled Lords will be prominent supporting members as follows :
M’Lord Dross will become Minsta fer Arts ‘n Kwol-cha ‘n that
M’Lord Bland will become Minsta fer So-sherl engagement ‘n that
More details will follow.
Innit.
Old-Noo (neé Noo-Old) BoringLiars – ENSURING BRITAIN IS THE WEALTHIEST NATION IN THE WORLD, NOT TAXING YOU WITLESS, NEVER LYING, and NEVER EVER WASTING YOUR MONEY on something pointless NEAR YOU!

I concur. We all hate Brown but this is pretty tedious.
O/T
Murder of the two French Students:
One of the murderers on probation at the time, Ch4 News comments that the social worker involved was presently on sick leave.
Head of that Social Work department then volunteered in interview with Snow that the AVERAGE sick leave was 27 Days.
That’s 27 days – that’s over 5 weeks !
I didn’t take those many days in 30 years in a highly stressed job in the Private Sector.
Perhaps, just perhaps, I wasn’t stressed enough.
Or perhaps I knew, like most non Civil Service “workers” that if I missed a day or so then I would have to personally make up that time or would be monitored whether the time taken off was valid or not.
The next Government needs to instal a new taxpayer’s charter to ensure we get what we are paying for.
And Cibvil Service pay awards need to be measured against productivity (eg “sickie days”) pertinent to other sectors.
We either pay the tax or reduce our expenses to manage our massive debts.
Here’s a starter for 10…..
You have to be joking..first sign of actually asking public sector workers such as these to *work* for their wages, and their all powerful, labour loving unions will be out on strike. Bins unemptied, bodies unburied, yes folks, it’s the 1970s all over again. Except the beer and sandwiches have been replaced by lavish dinners and piss ups in posh hotels. They know how to spend those union subs….
Oh… I heard different (see above) about the probation officer involved.
Yes – read it, Thanks for input.
Rule #1 in Management “Authority & Responsibility always go together”
Its a very simple and very important test.
Nobody ought to take formal responsibility if they don’t have authority to implement it or change it.
The social work management and social worker need to look who had what.
In any case, much like the position with the FSA, why are we paying anything for something that isn’t fit for purpose ?
Fix it or close it.
Rant over.
I agree. But as a ‘front line worker’ myself I’m tired of getting shit from above and shit from below when I don’t even agree with the system/feel powerless to change it. I’m on the brink of going back to my easier/far better paid (though less rewarding) career and I’m not the only one.
Since this blog is famous for “plots, rumours and conspiracies”.
How about this one
Stanley Fink became the Treasurer of the Conservative Party in January 2009..(wiki)

Lord Levy, close friend of Tony Blair and his unofficial “financier” (wiki)
(of “Of fuck, Lord Levy asked be to lie for him” fame – widely quoted duriing the Cash for Peerages scandal which Guido knows all about !)
Talk about “hedging” your position and covering both the Tory and Labour Parties
I think this gives room for thought to those interested in “conspiracies”…
Rumours are sweeping Westminster that Sir Alan Sugar could be set for a job in Gordon Brown’s administration. But it is unknown whether he shouted his famous catchphrase, “You’re fired”, at the beleaguered PM.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090604/tuk-gordon-brown-to-hire-sir-alan-sugar-dba1618.html
That must be the last act of a very desperate man if true
Ive “met” Brown
I’ve “met” Sugar.
Both tossers – deserve each other. Or as someone else said, simply lucky fools.
Rumour is McBroon is pulling in a Kinnockio from Brussels to serve.
It does indeed smack of desperation. But Brown is a man who is totally deluded. He probably sees the chaos as some sort of minor glitch. Couldn’t be anything else could it with him in charge?
Well spotted, sirrah.
So Brown wants to put another unelected person in the cabinet and Sugar would have to divest himself of his holdings for what a couple of months.
No Way.
We know he’s a supporter of NuLiebour, but if this story is true why on earth would he want to associate himself with the most loathed and incompetent PM in living memory? Can’t he see that McBust will take him down with him?
And if he goes, and if the whole rotten lot in NL go, who can we look forward to? Cameron and his bloody circus of idiots. Oh joy!!!

Lily Allen is voting Labour because she knows that only Gordon brown can lead this country into the next decade to meet the new challenges we face.
Only Gordon Brown had the experience needed to make the long-term decisions that will deliver real help now for hard-working families.
Labour will not pass by on the other side, whereas the Tories will cut spending for everyone except their millionaire friends.
This is no time for a novice.
Vote Labour on June 4th.
I am sure the electorate will be filled with confidence knowing that Lilly Allen supports the one eyed winking snotgobbler.
Lilly allen sums up nu lab perfectly, she came from a privilleged background , educated privately at Girls Boarding school and talks with a mock cockney accent, likes to pretend she is working class. She is as false as they come. Oh and yes her father frequents The Groucho club which is a gentlemans club for pretendy socialists much loved by the bono set !
Her dad sucks up to Mohamed Al Hayed and she owns property in the Caribbean.
She’s a dumpy little lass anyway wiv legs like a pygmy hippo.
Her dad sucks up to Mohamed Al Fayed and she owns property in the Caribbean.

Charles1,Charley1 you are a fibber just like your Liebour mates,you said you were leaving us,so please go away,I see you have changed your profile again from Labourlist to Labour.org,please tell us what you are up to are you playing the black arts again, you have only 2 hours to change our minds Charles1,Charley1,do we get a shift change later with Charles2,Charley2 say about 10pm.
I wonder how long she’ll back him before her tax bill spirals into oblivion?
She probably does what the arch hypocrite Bono does and have all her money offshore. Yep Bono pays little tax yet constantly calls for Government action on everything. Pathetic.
I thought Labour was passing by on the other side. That’s why so many Cabinet Ministers are resigning.
Lily Allen! Of course! I always go to her for advice about the big issues.
Actually the Victorians were right, too much wanking will destroy your brain.
I did read the second last line as “this is no time for an invoice”, but that was because I was crying with laughter.
Ha ha does he really think that we could possibly be influenced/give a fuck about who Lily Allen votes for???? That well known political expert and intellect!!! You wanker Charles.
When all else fails Charles you pull Lilly Allen out the bag, well, have to admit youve got me there, well played. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I thought Obama gave a good speech today. Was it written by Lilly Allen ? No ? Thought not. Oh well.
Pass me that spade, Charles.
Lily doesn’t just vote for Gordon, she writes songs about him.
This is from “Him”:
“He’s lost the will he can’t decide
He doesn’t know who’s right or wrong
But there’s one thing that he’s sure of this has been going on too long”

It’s gonna be great, it’s gonna be great.
Question Time
This Week
And the drip drip news of NuLabour being anihilated throughout the UK from 10pm onwards.
Just like Christmas eve, really.
is this the one with Fiona Philips on it ?
They’ve brought in some sofas, naff shelving and a fake view.
Did someone say “shelving”
Can’t be surely – she retired to look after her family.
Or did her influential TV executiver hubby find her more work, bless her ?
No, she’s on. With Baroness Royall, Liam Fox, Paddy Ashdown and Sir Max Hastings. I was hoping for Lily Allen.
Its even BETTER than I could ever have hoped for – and still an hour or so to go.
Can I take this time to say thanks on behalf of all of those being shot at in arabistan for our parliments dilligence in making sure that their
“service and sacrafice shall never be forgotten”….
http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/2009/06/defence-in-house.html
Thanks for fucking nothing.
Unbelievable. Well, believable really. Thank you for the link otherwise we would have had no idea. I felt bloody good, first time ever today when voting for UKIP. I actually had a spring in my step.
If you like to live off the state and get other people to pay for your lifestyle, don’t forgot to vote for Kim Il Brown. The glorious leader has done so much for the people of this country. I don’t know how I can repay him myself. If I had my way I would say he should be the great leader for all time and not have to bother seeking election. We all know there is no one else like him. If he were to go there are so many talented people in the Cabinet who could take his place, it really would be difficult to choose.
I really wouldn’t want to go back to living life as it was before the Great Leader rose to power. Hail to you oh great leader.
The Great Bleeder you mean as in bleeding the country and its citizens dry !
Brilliant. Charles Hardwidge is Stanislav and I claim my 11″ of finest Polish zweicka sausage.
We have 2 Charles Hardtwits this is Charles number 1, so I don’t think it’s Stan,TT
I was wondering that myself, but there’s an air of earnest petty-fogging Nulabour trollness about Hardwank which, if it is a parody, is extremely cleverly observed.
It is just too good and cleverly observed to be a genuine Labourite, IMHO
Gordon. You say a lot, but y’know, we’ve heard it all before. You think you’re a big cheese, doncha, but let me tell you, your mate Tony was the real deal. He could singe the hair off a cat’s arse with that smile. But you? you’re more washed up than a set of china plates at The Dorchester.
Gordon….you tried your hand at number 10, but you should have stayed next door cookin’ the books. You’re fuckin’ fired, matey.
HURRAY! Just been and voted! was very exciting to actually get the chance to it seems ages since anyone let me! I was bit worried they make you do it in pencil – visions on some Liebore tosser with big rubber round the corner…
I asked what the turn out had been they said nothing special…expecting loads of postal votes though…which worries me….
Newgirl @808
Some papers are reporting turnout 50% down on last time. As long as it is the Labour 50% staying at home, that’s fine, but quite how you can reconcile a 12% turnout with democratic election I do not know.
Fuck. 12%? Bloody hell, I had no idea – not seen the news today. I really thought people would be more motivated to vote cuz of everything that’s happened, I certainly was.
Low turnout usually means bad news for Labour.
just voted and they say its very quiet
I voted mid-morning because I thought it would be quiet then. It wasn’t, quite a queue to register. Had to stuff the ballot paper into the box as well, there was plenty of something in there. Think from comments on other threads, turnout is patchy; good in some places, not so good in others.
I love it when you talk dirty NewGirl.
I was reading a Standard article for those figures
Maybe mostly London votes can’t be arsed? We’ll see very shortly anyhow.
The fact is this election isn’t a general election. It is NOT a vote on Gordon Brown’s leadership – it’s about local and European issues.
Here comes my 19th nervous breakdown………………………………….today
Tell that to the Labour Party Mr Fuckwidge.
Is Charlie hodgepodge by any chance a pseudonym for Harman Pride? – This is the first time most of us have had a chance to vote either for or against Gormless Gord and his Pixxtakers.
Allowing for the fact that Liebore are competing on both issues only a dickhead could ignore the results vis-a-vis the individual parties.
I would make allowance for you however for writing such consistent drivel -
consider yourself a dickhead first class and fxxx off back to labourlist.
Well done Newgirl, hope you voted A.B.L.
I’m sure what I voted not much of a mystery to anyone whose read any of my posts…..
Ouch!! I meant “who’s”. Crumbs, turning into an illiterate..
Yeah NewGirl , hun x .
I aksed if they’d been busy an they said nothin doin .
So I told em I was gonna vote Nazi an they offered me a choccy hobnob to go wiv my tea .
Nice people , but a bit simple .
E x .
The old biddies at my place of voting weren’t offering tea. Only dentures clacking together like crazed castanets when they laughed.
I didn’t realise they had polling booths in the mental asylum.
Yes they do, Charlie boy. But you should have asked your assigned carer for a postal voting form.
You tell me , Charles , HONEY x .
E x .
How do you think labour came to power.
Fuck me , hun !!!
I bet you guys all wear specs or contacts coz starin at a screen 24/7 ain’t gonna give ya 20/20 visions , is it ????
Another tiny thought from my pea-brain x .
E x .
Polling Booth is related to neither Cherie Booth nor Polling Toynbee though both have got beds reserved in the mental asylum.
Gordon Brown’s urgent problem with the opposite sex lies close to home, on his own benches. As the jibe among the WAGs goes, “Tony reminds you of the man you wanted to marry. Gordon reminds you of the man you did.”
The WAG’s are out to get you Gordon
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23703647-details/Over+a+quiet+supper%2C+WAGs+get+the+knives+out+for+Brown/article.do
And good for the WAGs…
They have some humour as well
And understand a whole lot more about life than the bloody Labour men…
Who are without cojones and expecting the girls to get them out of stuck…
Bloody cowards…
Go Labour girls get ‘em…
Iain Dale’s story about John Reid telling Gordon Brown to resign seems to be almost but not quite confirmed:

Cant be true they were talking about who the new manager of Celtic was going to be surely !
Would be better than being manager of the Labour Party.
At least at Celtic he’d be guaranteed 2nd place !
Any comment from Charles Hardwidge or Master Baiter to be IGNORED.
IGNORED = No Comment and No Response
IGNORED = Don’t Read (then you won’t feel compelled to respond)
Please comply today and every day.
You know it makes sense.
Sorry, only had your post brought to my attention after I had already responded to CH, I blame my dog.
I agree Important Rule. Sensible advice.
NewGirl where are you???
We have dark trolls on here tonight who are rather reminiscent of brooding characters holed up in bunkers. Possibly suffering from some deep psychotic disorder that makes them spout rubbish.
We need you to come and lighten the atmosphere.
Here I am Nell!! All chipper and ready to wind up the dark arts students…!!!
I’ll be flirtastic, that gets TwAT apoplectic with rage. I’ll call MB on Baroness Uddin…AGAIN.
And HardPrick? I’ll spout ridiculous over flowery ill thought out semantic drivel to give him a bit of competition!
Wil that help?

oh do stop moderating me Guido. I’m an utterly harmless blonde bint
Newbint, the moderation is automatic, Certain words or phrases are caught by the blog’s word censor and put into “limbo” until Guido gets round to reviewing them.
I cottoned on to that when I said *snigger* which contains the dreaded “n” word, of course.
You got that one through, have you been doing favours for someone?
This dodgy posting is like doing sudoku….is prob v good for our brains. Oi, MB get down here. You need a bit of exercise.
in that case haven’t got a clue what I said wrong….all very unremarkable none controversial stuff…. Maybe its also when you make a word up? I may have done that!
hate speech, hate speech !!
I will send Jacqui after you…oh, erm how about John Reid, nope, Darling, nope, Blunkett, nope won’t return my calls, Purnell, nope, Milliband 1, nope…
Oh drat, I’ll have to get back to you.
I credited Guido with the moderated *gropehoonelane* in a past thread relating to the word pronounced *kant* in certain areas of London, which I thought was very witty.
Do you mean that the wit on that occasion was automated?
You don’t give the impession you are blonde.
Why not? Do my posts sound brunette?!
I’ve had the same problem New Girl
Guido or the machine seem to be eliminating good comments
I’ll stay with you until countdown…..!!
Most gratifying!
TIIIMMMMMBBBBEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes NewGirl but why is he putting you down here??? What is going on????????? We need you with us at this difficult time when we are trying to get on with the job.
OK Purnell has gone !!!! Heady stuff !!!! Where is Gordon??
Is the bunker secure- can he escape??
Need a glass of rioja and Guido you must stop teasing us!!!!!!!!!!!.
Just stop it !!!!!!!!!!
NewGirl are you still there????
Forget where’s Gordon….where the f*ck is Guido???
I liked the fact that Al BBC only had 9 mins of news on teh elections and resignations at 10pm!!?
The new series of Big Brother has started on 4
Well that’s interesting. From down here it seems that Guido has ripped you a new one. I resign!
RESIDENT WANKER RESIGNS says the Scum.
A day that just keeps giving.
It was only on the news at 10:25 – are you Purnell?
We’ll only get the intelligence when we find the balck box.
Collar AND Cuffs ?
am trying Nell, very trying….

Nobody is preventing you from posting Charlie buy – that’s freedom of speach. Encouraging the listener to ignore you is also a freedom of a democracy.
Most people don’t need encouraging but there are a few troll feeders who need putting right.
Have a nice night. When you wake up tomorrow, the country will be a different place.
No let them ramble – it’s highly amusing watchiong the left desparately trying to remain relevant
Enjoy the sport – it’s like foxhunting at home

Check out this hilarious take on the Shadow Cabinet discussing Europe!
Message to Tory voters: Do you really agree with SHAMeron allying your MEPs with parties which support homophobia and believe climate change is a myth?
you the real one.
I think thats a rather stupid question. Do you want to estimate yes/no/don’t know/”HALF PAST FOUR!” answers for it.
If it’s good enough for Lily Allen then it’s got to be ideal.
You mean like George Bush Republicans ? Hey what twats would get themselves into a war with that lot. You’d have to lie to everyone to get away with that.
Voted this evening at a Rayleigh Essex ward. I was number 300 a bit worried that if turn out is that low then the Nazis could do well
Prince Charles calls for a Squirrel cull

To late she buggered off yesterday
Grey ones only of course.
Thats wierd logic, but all that can be expected from a tree-hugging royal.
Is that racism against grey squirrels?
Many years ago there was a two shilling bounty on them.
Thank you you made me laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ha ha that’s very funny
Why was I singled out AGAIN ?
Charles, you seem to crop up everywhere you self important, creepy little cocksmoker. If you don’t like Guido or the comments here, have you considered fucking off? You seem to be better received over at LabourList where other left leaning, benefit scroungers are happy to read your deluded piffle. And where do you get off calling people ‘trolls’? You are the definition of a troll you argumentative twat.
In the real world, I doubt you would have the guts to walk into a pub and pick fights with the locals so why do you insist on doing it here? Because you’re a gutless genital wart of a man.
Put another 50p in your pre-pay electric meter and cook yourself a Findus Crispy Pancake. And then stick it up your arse. Freak.
Findus went belly up did’nt they.
Any comment from Charles Hardwidge or Master Baiter to be IGNORED.
IGNORED = No Comment and No Response
IGNORED = Don’t Read (then you won’t feel compelled to respond)
Please comply today and every day.
You know it makes sense.
I’m gone , hun x .
E x .
Guido relies on Charlie Baiter and all the rest of his shape shifting identities for his porn stats.

Thought I’d add this chinese proverb to today’s debate.
Confucius say man with hole in pocket feel cockey all day. So right, so right.
See this on the ten o’clock news tonight:
Gordon Brown has caved in to Caroline Flint and will promote her in exchange for her making a public declaration of support for him.
Excellent.
Thought she was being smeared to negate any subsequent resignation.
“So What” as Ed would say – she sells her soul and has a very short tenancy in whichever post she prostituted herself for.
Or .. promoted because she’s a woman – what an insult to her gender.
Being promoted into a Cabinet that nobody seems to want to be in is hardly a good CV point in any case.
Then kapow ! she’s gone for good – just like Clare Short (Who ?)
Wouldn’t put it past either of ‘em. She’ll not be long in post before it’s back to lucky heather and pegs. If he won’t go someone will poison the Hunt.
Has the elastic in his truss gone.
Promote her so she can shit on him from an even greater height.
What a plonker. The WAG’s are playing him like Nigel Kennedy on sulphate.

All right Richard!
RAW MEAT 4 is out soon, order now, it’s already in big demand thanks to the free publicity!
Have started a collection for Brown Gordon’s leaving do.
Please send used tenners or anything else of little value ( like life membership of the Laborious Party).
I’ve got some rusty washers and a couple of sheared bolts. Will they do?
Don’t forget to book the Chippendales for him.
The Times says Sir Alan Sugar’s been invited to join Brown’s government.
WHAT THE FCUK?
A Cabinet of all the inbred talents?
Countdown to a Brownout. “’We’re doomed,’ predicts Labour MP: “Local election turnout ‘mixed’ as Labour heads for meltdown”
If Gordon goes down, then so will I.

One hour to lift-off.
Caroline flint was married to Borat
Borat, the Celtic Goalie, really ?
Why do I want to beat Ball’s head with a baseball bat until his are hanging from his head?
I voted green as I don’t trust acronyms.
Anyone else notice Youtube has gone off line due to a ‘server error’?
You kip if you want to.
Gordon to go to France for D-Day Commemorations on Saturday.
I bet the Canadian PM, Sarkozy and Obama and their advisers are watching the meltdown here with interest – wondering whether they will want to stand on the same podium with him.
The British and Canadian Vets are doing the same – why would they want to salute him ??- although at least now they have Prince Charles as well. Pity it’s not the Queen. She would have rescued this fiasco.
Wonder how long before Gordon goes to the Palace to ask for a dissolution???????? Soon – please Soon!!!!!!!!!
OK I’ve been modded – Let’s try this.
McMental to go to France for D-Day Commemoration on Saturday.
I bet Canada’s PM, Monsieur diminutive, and the American tall one are watching the meltdown. Will they want to stand on the same podiium with him ????
The British and Canadian Vets will want to consider whether they want to salute him.
I’m glad the Vets at least have Charlie to support them. Would have been best if they had her Maj, but I appreciate she needs to be here in case McMental needs to consult her re- dissolution of parliament.
Modded Again!!!!!!!!!!
OK!! OK!! I know how Gordon feels in his bunker now. No-one is listening to me!!!!!!!!!
PURNElLL HAS GONE PLEASE DON’T mod me !!!! PURNELL HAS GONE!!!!
Gordon is dead.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Surely Gordon is Dead!!!!!
Brown Bread
Surely now!!!
You’ve beaten me to it – staggering news!
Gordon is the undead remember !
It’s not going to be pretty. RIP Labour Party 1900 – 2009
But, Lily Allen voted for them, how can that be ?
She’s young….and as dumb as fuck.
Correction:
It’s going to be very pretty indeed.
May I tempt fate by saying it’s going to be, well, Beautiful !
RIP, Rot in Hell, Labour Party 1900 – June 4th 2009
Just went to vote, was hoping to see someone in a red rosette hanging around so I could point and laugh at them, but no such luck.
Very telling to see Cameron and Clegg on the tv news going to vote at their local polling stations – Gordon, of course voted by post, too scared to step outside the bunker.
When he does leave for good, no doubt he will be spirited away from the back of Downing St out of sight.
They’ve set up a tunnel like the one in ‘ET’.
I was gonna laugh at the labour candidate and flip them a bird at my poll station but it turned out to be a bent over double old granny with a big red rosette when i got there, so it would of been a bit harsh but it’s true what they say about leftie women they age terribly god know’s where labour dug her up she was like a fossil from the land before time or a living dead zombie from a horror movie.
Labour the party for senile old bats and escaped mental people.
We haven’t had a single candidate knock on the door this time, they’ve just shoved their crap through the letterbox and legged it.
Charles Hardwidge? Are you the same cock jockey who posted inane fucking pro-labour & zen drivel on toenails robinson’s blog?
So can we expect a series of anti-brown talking heads starting at 10pm, or has it all be hyped to hell again?
Zombie Flesh Eating Morons – it’s in the schedules.
I forgot Big Brother was starting tonight
Ironic, huh ?
Just as one Big Brother is born ……
Oh that’s what the trolls are doing is it?
Woah – Darling has called in the BBC for an exclusive interview at the Treasury for 10.01 pm !
( heh heh heh – got your attention ? )
“I want to spend more time with my eyebrows.”
Emily Maitless drinks too much Irn Bru, this must be why she’s orange.
Hope everybody is ready for the countdown tonight
Hee hee read the last 15 or so posts one after the other its hilarious! Makes no sense at all, but v funny. Like that game you play when your little when everyone adds a line to a story they don’t see the rest of..
How do you think they run cabinet meetings?
Attended to my duty.
I live in a cast iron (well it was last time !) Labour Constituency.
Approaching my polling station a jolly, but slightly deranged, canvasser thrust a leaflet into my hand.
Only as I walked on I noticed it was a Nu-Labour leaflet.
It read, and I joke not …
“Vote Labour. We are number 11 on the list”
My, how sad but how well the Labour machine knows it’s core voter group.
All party members. Please stand by your telescreen at 10 pm for message from Big Brother. Emmanuel Goldstein, creator of the global financial crisis has been arrested. I want you all to chant “GB ” at your telescreen in praise of our great victory.
Alan Sugar, what is this Celebrity big Cabinet.
What a frigging joke, he’s even more unelected than Brown.
Brown want to reduce the Cabinet to the level of a pantomime
Completely mad the fucker..

MR HARDWIDGE? YOU FOR REAL?
Want to know what people really think.
A farmer goes into an agricultural supplier for some calf buckets. He looks at the range and asks the assistant what the the battered red coloured buckets were doing piled up with the rubbish. The sales assistant says.” They are Nu liebour buckets, bent, don’t hold water, and come so full of shit they are no use nor ornament”
James Purnell quits.
‘No confidence in Gordon Brown’. F*ck, they’re starting before the polls have closed.
Letter on the front of the Times! ‘Continued leadership makes Tory win more likely’. ‘Disaster for country’. Bloody hell. Quit to give us a chance!
Says is his decision and acting ‘alone’. Cripes that’s woken me up a bit. And he’s respected, far as I know.
What a bastard; I was waiting until 10. Made me spill my Pinot.
Letter sent to Times, Guardian and Sun.
Are his expense claims in the DT tomorrow?
The article says ‘Many eyes will now turn to David Miliband, the foreign secretary, who has insisted this week he still supports Brown’s leadership, even if he harbours private doubts.’
Does that mean him next? Flint getting shouty on Sky.
Purnell has stuck the knife in ,resigns and takes Brown down.
PURNELLS GONE!!!!
Well done Guido. You /we started all this. 1,000 comments is this a record? Hope it makes rich.
Purnell to quit cabinet !
Purnell going, apparently – according to Sky, quoting sources at national newspapers.
SKY NEWS REPORTS, PURNELL RESIGNATION !
Where’s all the numbers gone?
GORDON’S NOT SO BAD !
COME ON !
GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE
ok. oh sorry i meant no f@ck off.
Purnell quits says Sky News with a cracker headline on tomorrows times
hahahahahahahaha
yes – he’s gone to force a leadership battle.
REJOICE
It’s over.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/04/james-purnell-resigns-gordon-brown-cabinet
Is this true????????????????????????????????????????????????????
BBC just said Purnell’s quit…
Ah well – off to see the News. Nighty Night.
The threads gone rather too Zen for me.
rumour that purnell has quit?
Speaking of kahnts….
many, many years ago when I worked in London I bought a Barbour jacket and on th eway to the office stopped orf for some fruit from the cockney fruit barra boy as I did most mornings.
He sez to me, “YOU LOOK LIKE A RIGHT KAHNT…” *long pause* “..RY GENTLEMAN”.
Funny bloke. Saw him on the Ruby Wax Show some years later.
Anyway, back on topic, that’s the poll stations just closed.
Since when has the Hardwidge mong been spouting his drivel on here,Guido do us all a favour and get rid of him he is a complete and utter Hoon.Its bad enough him being on the BBC blog.
purnell gone guido
Gordon will be gone by Monday………….
For Fucks Sake Guido, we are chomping at the bit with the news of Purnell and your closed for business !!!
Purnell has gone
Purnell resigns!!!!
oh well Im off to bed , nothing to see here .
ding ding, the war has started, Purnell gone, polls closed and snotty in bunker.
Got popcorn and beer so let it rip
PURNELL HAS GONE CONFIRMED SKY NEWS
BROWN BREAD!!!!
So What.
The firewall goes down but the wankerwall gets switched on a 9 when Guido goes down the pub so moderation is a but erratic.
Play them off, keyboard cat!
And calling on Broon to stand down.
Fucking TOENAIL on the BBC reading out Purnell resignation letter. He sounds like he’s reading out the death of the queen. Cheer up Toenails, it’s good news isn’t it?
Time for a General Election me thinks.
Purnell having some guts. Future leader of Labour.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA – the slow burn
On Sky now
James Purnell has quit…..
Mrs Dale has beaten you to it Guido . Caroline Flint backs wrong horse !
this modding is getting old.
PURNELL HAS GONE!!!!!!!!!WHAT’S MANDY GOING TO DO NOW????? Sorry to shout !!!!
Poor Alan Sugar- so close to being a Lord !!!!!!!!!!!
This calls form a glass of bubbly!!!!!!!!!!!
Never mind, perhaps Sugar managed to flog Gordo some Amstrad e-m@ilers while he was there.
Room 101 maybe?
Well, the voting is over.
I hope there is a very clear message to Brown.
Mine’s clear.
I know you say you’re getting on with the ‘job’
I don’t want you to get on with the job.
I want you to organise an election.
I’ve had enough of you and your fuckin’ government.
The country’s dying.
Now go and organise an election.
Shut up and do as I tell you.
I’ve had e-fuckin-nuff!!
No, we don’t want the moronic snot-gobbling nail-biting half-eyed Scottish twat to organise an election. We’ve had far too much of his meddling and vandalism already.
We want the slimy little git to bugger off and let the rest of us organise an election.
Purnell just shown going into Downing St on Beeb…sartorial skill none..his jacket was too short….obviosusly when kecks are dropped for Gordo, he won’t have to take his jacket off to make things easier for McDoom
Brown out by Sunday
Brown your fired !
FFS … they’re failing like Lord Mandelfoys trousers… is Renaldo all greased up and good to go ?
Purnell has something in his favour he can at least justify a cleaner !
The shit has hit the shit!
Gordo will resign on my medium!!
Glad to see I’m in such good company New Girl, MI5, nell, although you probably won’t see this until tomorrow. Purnell out confirmed – at his age, he is obviously thinking about the future and doesn’t want to be associated with the last days of the Mentalist.
Government tearing itself apart, Purnell has just brought Labour’s demise closer.
General election NOW. You don’t change your leader again without calling an election, Purnell. You think you are above us, do you? You think you politicians can change leadership willy-nilly in the hope of saving a few seats at the next election, do you? It won’t wash, and we won’t have it.
Election NOW.
Agreed 100%
Somehow we now have to close the option out of changing PM without the electorate having their say.
That is the next battle as McMental is already history.
Either McMental leads ZanU into a GE or his replacement does ASAP.
Brown may just take the nuclear option and declare now anyway .. I doubt it but he is mad and arrogant enough, I’m convinced.
Graham Allen saying need new leader and to set a date for a GE.
Purnell resigns, stating labour cant win with brown as leader, yesss.
Purnell has resigned. So it begins.
Looks like Flint has made a bigger Hoon of herself than she is anyway.22:01 on the button. Apparently Lord Créme is in No 10 ‘strategising’. He need only insert the clip and cock the weapon.
tossette
If it wasn’t my Country being bent over and taken from behind, this would be funny.
Oh well, ought to make the best of it.
well done James, I would like to buy you a nice steak & kidney pudding
James Purnell = Geoffrey Howe = Dead Sheep.
This “Government” is dying on its feet…
A car crash in slo-mo
The Nokias are flying tonight
Sir, I am a fecking disgrace but I won’t resign, my senior people can do that for me thank you!!
Flint looks like a fool on Sky news
Does that mean she’s free to suck my cock?
Flint looks like a fool on Sky
Sun headline: ‘I quit, now you quit.’ Get to the point why dontcha.

Jeff Randall gives a huge kick in the Balls
Remember the tv footage of that smug git on the GMTV sofa in the early 90′s gloating about the leaks he had received against the Conservatives. Well he WAS the future once !!!
He seems to have the Ceausescu syndrome.
Do you remember when the people were coming for him, Nicolae Ceausescu that is, he believed they were coming to cheer him. He, finally had to be removed bodily by his minders not that it did him any good as he was captured shortly afterwards and shot.
I am surprised this analogy has not been attached to Brown by commentators before now.
It has.
Now for the Queen to dismiss Parliament, lets have another election I enjoyed voting today!
Over to you Mr Fuckwidge.
Where’s Charles?
Brown has to go now
hahahaha
Cue “dead parrot” transcript…
Boulton reports lights literally out in Downing Street !
That round robin will be delivered to No 10 tomorrow. No doubt about it. Brown will ignore it, no doubt about it.
Said to be 75 ready to sign up. He’ll go tomorrow, no doubt.
I’ve never heard of this kahnt Purnell. He was in the Cabinet? In Bangkok, did he hang himself in the cabinet?
Where is Gordon?
QT or newsnight??
My time has come!
The plotting can now begin in eanest and in open.
Now it’s a numbers game. Can they get the 70 ? I think yes.
While you write to each other I’m getting on with the job.
Brilliant shot by Sky News of 10 Downing Street in total darkness – a metaphor!
Purnell resigns. How long can Brown last?
Bloody Hell!
Mandy is at no. 10 and the lights are out?
I’d rather punch his lights out
A single shot has just been heard in number 10!
Oh Mandy!
go on..
“You kissed me and stopped me from shaking, Oh Mandy !”
but Brown missed his head
And so to bed…
+++SKY NEWS+++
Graham Allen MP Also Asking for Brown’s Resignation
+++SKY NEWS+++
they are turning on him…. at last..
labout backbencher calling for Browns herad on sky but stating they can and should put in another PM and continue as before with no election
thought he said to set a date for GE if you mean allen
BBC coverage is a fucking joke – I don’t even think they’re covering the local election results at all!
SKY are on it.
Fuck the BBC. Fuck you BBC. No licence fees fro you from me, ever. Ever ever ever ever ever.
is brown haeading for the Big Brother Hoiuse
Gordon to go to the Queen in the morning????
Wow!!!!!! The hurricane has arrived.!!!!!!!!
Is Gordon still in his bunker???? and are Mandelson and Sugar helping him to nail the hatches down???
this better be good guido…
have the hoons taken you out ?
Barry Sheerman calling for a contest/secret ballot – says he thinks Brown will lose!
Bring on the postie! He will be even worse than Brown-he has already said he is not up to the job. Have you ever met a postie that you thought would be a good PM?-me neither. Lots of very affable ones but Cameron will eat him for breakfast. Victory awaits.
First Policy.
What’s he gonna do about all those red elastic bands littered all over my pathway , eh ?
Thought so – f*cking nothing !
Useless Postie PM.
Next.
lights are out at number 10…. welll adam bolton thought it was important.;o)
Guido please don’t abandon this post just for a while yet –
please!!!!!
Everything’s just got going now!!!!!!!!!!!
Hilarious the labout guy Martin chatting on Sky and I am sure I can see pickles in the background
Labour are turning in on themselves YEEEE HAAAAA!!!!!
MELTDOWN CHINA SYNDROME!!!!!!!!
Cameron is gonna be pissed off if McTwat is forced out.
OK – Everyone over to Labourlost before QT starts.
Alex Smith on LabourList now calling for Brown to go
http://www.labourlist.org/gordon_brown_recall_the_better_angels_of_your_nature
Toenails just said on Beeb that No.10 had no warning.
Purnell really did ‘nuke them from orbit’. Fucking marvellous.
Of course, he’s best mates with David Miliband – so we can expect a nice scrap between bananaman and Postman Pat over the rotting Labour corpse.
Can both lose? Oh yes!
Crick on Newsnight says Johnson has a leadership fight team set up and ready to roll.
Good news, Crick reckons whoever is Labour leader, it’s unlikely to help their electoral chances. Shame.
Sadly, even if Brown is toppled I still think labour will try to tough it out with a new leader for another 12 months. What we need now is a GE!!
That would not be acceptable. The government looks unaccountable enough as it is, and that would effectively finish them off. We, the electorate, will not stand for that. They think they have the right to do as they please without consulting us, and make us pay for their non-existent mortgages and dry rot while they do it.
An election must be called if Gordon goes. To attempt to go on without one is unthinkable.
Boulton has just described Purnell as ‘a man of principle and a future leader of the Labour Party’. The reincarnation of Gordon before his death.
Some stupid labout bitch on sky news calling it treachery devious sneaky and almost in tears
hahahahahahahahah
FUCK OFF LABOUR BURN IN HELL BASTARDS
Frank Dobson on Five Live appears to be advocating a dictatorship rather than calling an election when the people want McTwat to go. Hunt.
Hey you, yes you, Brown !
Get to F*ck out of here right now.
And take that Mandy creature with you.
Saruman and Grima leaving Orthanc at last.
Harperson (R4) says Gordon’s leadership is sound
BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH
Coffee / keyboard etc
Geraldine Smith on Sky moaning about the plotting against Broon. Not that she ever engaged in such acts against Blair & co…
Purnell resigns. Hear Frank Dobson make an utter fool of himself live on air
Jim Knight on Sky saying they have let down all the party workers working so hard over the last few weeks
Tough! bunch of twats then were they not?
Hhahahaha
Then goes in tractor statistic lies ….theyb really dont get this do they
Respect to Purnell. FINALLY a Labour MP gets off his knees and takes some action.
Now will some fucker go into Downing Street, find Brown and put him out of his misery?
Gordon must go now!!!
Gordon must go to the Palace – call for dissolution – and fight the next General Election for his party.
Yes Please!!!!
Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in what order are these posts appearing?
Baroness Royal sates on QT that McTwat should not resign and gets applause so a well balanced audience on the BBC QT again
Hoons!!
Fiona Philips the couch lizard and front row at the Labour conference kissing Browns ass.
R5Live has Mike Smithson and Iain Dale but no Tub Of Lard. C’mon, Guido, where are you?
Purnell’s ruled himself out of a leadership election though. That’s interesting. He knows the game is up, and that Labour have lost whoever becomes leader. Clearly he is waiting to make a move after the general election – as are probably most of the leading “next generation” candidates.
No point in taking over now, anyway. Plus, they can’t wait until next year if Gordon goes now – they’ll need to call an election as soon as they have a successor.
Has anyone watched this, I performed well I thought

And then proceeded to panic-sell Sterling, demonstrating their full confidence in next Prime Minister David Cameron’s economic policies.
On the news that the rumour was wrong, the dealing rooms then decided they wanted to hold Sterling and keep their money in the British economy after all, given the rubbish economic policies of Gordon Brown.
Hmm.
Is there any point in this thread? A non story, surely.
“City Swept by False ‘PM Resigns’ Rumours”
