Barrels Being Scraped
Hain is we are told heading back to the Welsh Office. Is it because of his brilliance? When Gordon sacked him last time it was for incompetence.
Is it because he is clean when it comes to his expenses and will demonstrate the sincerity of Brown’s plans to clean up politics This is the man who failed to declare £100,000 laundered through a think tank / slush fund for his deputy leadership campaign. Hain, do not forget, was the cabinet minister who argued for the change in the system that allowed ministers to designate their London home as their second home, he “employs” his 80 year-old mother at the taxpayer’s expense to look after his interests, such a shame she never actually visits his office…
Hain has played his hand well, Guido heard a rumour that it was to be him who was going to berate Brown at Monday’s PLP meeting. Perhaps Brown’s henchmen heard it too, bringing him back buys Hain off. The barrel is really being scraped in the effort to prop up Gordon…
Hoon is a Hain
Second too??
Being Welsh, can I just say, that’s handed a shedload of votes to Plaid Cymru in the next election.
I liked Peter Hain. We met once in a tanning salon. He had the full 5 minutes. As usual, I only lasted 30 seconds. Nice man, but he completely disappeared when he stood against the pine sauna. Poof… and he was gone!
that’s handed a shedload of votes to Plaid Cymru in the next election.
but Labour is in bed with Plaid in Cardiff so no change
He has been the victim of mustaken identity before back in the 60′s even.
Makes no difference who leaves in disgrace, Hain, Mandelson or who ever.
No shame no gain. Bring the cheats and liars back Gordon and slap the whole electorate in the face.
Bring your thiecves back into the Cabine. Oh, sorry you already have, Sorry.
He’s my Hoon Of The Day.

Future’s bridge for someone Orange then I see.
Surely that should read Hain is a Hoon……
Huhnes GONE
i typed Huhnes though!!!
Game on again, Guido!
Tally ho for the Tango C.unt!
Clean on expenses?
£6 grand in fuel oil?
Paying his mother as a ‘secretary’?
An attempt to claim mortgage interest on two ‘second homes’ simultaneously?
He’s the most crooked of the lot.
Unbelievable.

What’s your problem? Get in that Zen Zone and put a brake on those synapses.
dreadful news!!! Margaret Beckett is leaving, no doubt to spend more time with her caravan blocking the bloody roads
Beckett going? That’s three ugly motherfuckers in one day.
Has John Prescott made a statement yet?
Yes, he blames Harriet for the electoral difficulties. She claims she had no money for the campaign as Prescott had spent it all on pies.

I see Ed Balls is writing again. Shame about his job.
I like your blog Mr Penguin.
& shitting in a potty!
I liked Margaret Beckett. She used to let me trim her bush and water her hanging baskets. I always had green fingers.
You were a Labour councillor for Lincoln in the seventies and I claim my 5 quid
Beckett is gone too now. 6 down. Basically anyone who thinks they could get a career with a new leader, or anyone who has had a career and doesn’t care anymore is leaving.
Bloody hell. At this rate he’s never going to be able to fill his Cabinet. By this evening the ones who were appointed this morning will be walking out the door. Nice in a way I suppose – give everyone a go at every post. Very egalitarian.
What an utter failure of a PM.
Brown to speak to a grateful nation at 4.0pm – can’t wait….
Isn’t there someone at the tv studio who can plug in the ‘wrong’ plug…please….there’ll be a government post in it…..?????
According to SKY news now 16.30
Will patriotic songs be heard in the background along with black-and-white footage of workers toiling on the earth?
I guess Alan Johnson will be getting double choco-rations tonight for losing his backbone.
Now 4.30
I t is fortunate that the Downing St cat came to a sticky end, otherwise it would by now have been promoted to Home Secretary.
I think you’ll find that it would have been substituted for a Nokia.
Sh*t, I thought it had……..my mistake.
We know this is the Labour Cabinet of liars, thieves and thugs before it is even announced !
Go fourth New labour…
Bori, it’s go FORTH nulabour but it has already come fourth, or forth or maybe fifth.
What is the word when you from mad, to crazy, to lunatic, to insane, and then beyond?
Gordon-Brown
I am trying to nail down a list of the new Cabinet. Can you help?
Yes. Here it is:
Prime Minister: Gordon Brown
Home Secretary: Gordon Brown
Foreign Office: Gordon Brown
Health: Gordon Brown
Other posts still being announced.
Apparently Lord Wellington did that or something similar, it’s probably perfectly legal.
Why waste time on a list? Nail down the evil weasels themselves.

Even with the resignations, this is hardly a ‘reshuffle’.
It’s more of a slight jiggle, akin to the final twitches of a mortally-wounded animal.
At least, that’s what I hope.

Well you know what they say better to be in the tent pissing out rather than outside pissing in
Oaten, just stop it, you need help you dirty bastard.
You can expect an election in the spring of 2010, so stop whining, it’s very negative and puts people off.
The Conservitudes will move to the right because of party Anti Europe factional fighting and the threat of UKIP.
As a consequence they will lose many swing voters and so not gain power. The Labour Party will win or share power with the Limp Dumbs, who will be trussed up within seconds.
Bee you tea full!
No matter how many resignations there are or changes that Brown is forced to make, there will always be one constant on this blog. MB will always be a complete and utter twat.
Whine, whine, whine, your Mum must have been glad when you finally left home at about 43.
Still at least there’s one thing your good at.
Good mature response there, fellow comrade masterbaiterski
No doubt your mum will be bloody glad when you do leave home, if only so she doesn’t have to wipe your arse for you any more. Now, off back to LabourList with you.
What happened to the Dear Leader’s address to the nation? Still trying to get the Prime Mincer calm enough to be presented to the public? Or trying to lure him out from under his desk?
Why’s everyone being so political, surely there’s no one here delusioned enough to believe they will be represented well by any of the major parties.
come on now, they’re all just varying degrees of shit
Ed, we all know you can’t count and like the prime mentalist cannot see the wood for the trees. Get a life.
Pravda tried to slide this in as a one-liner in their coverage, I don’t think any other mention was made of it.
Screenshots are wonderful things.

What pisses me off is the Met/CPS statement that no one is likely to be charged over the expenses swindle. How the fuck can they say that there won’t be enough evidence when they haven’t even hauled anyone in for the 3rd degree treatment but just sat around “in conference”? Cover up, what cover up?
There will be no whitewash at the shitehouse
The Police are there to protect the corrupt British establishment and status quo.
So, with that in mind, by doing sweet F.A the Police are in fact doing their duty.
On with the TPA / Jury Team private prosecutions!!

Can we make requests as to who we would like to go next please?
My vote goes to Caroline Flint, for services to arse-licking career savers everywhere.
It’s true, she doesn’t mind a bit of rimming, the dirty bitch.
Plays a mean trombone!

his 80 year-old mother at the taxpayer’s expense to look after his interests, such a shame she never actually visits his office…
—————————————————-
she’s 82 now.
way to go, grammy.
Its not a Cabinet its a Den of Thieves.
I see that “Siralan” is going to be a Tsar. How apt, it was a Tsar who kicked his grandad out of Poland. That’ll learn them Romanov cants.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but in The Apprentice a couple of weeks back, the teams had to sell stuff at the baby fair. I’m sure a shrewd geezer like Siralan has kept all that lovely gear in his lockup, including some £2000 wooden rocking horses, which, as we saw on the show, will take the weight of an adult. It all begins to make sense.
The only good thing about this is that if McPampers ever throws a Nokia at Siralan, he’ll probably break his legs. Nick will hold him down, whilst Margaret puts the boot in. Then it’s back to Viglen HQ for Siralan, where five of his closest associates are going to give Caroline Flint the “interview from hell”. In every hole.
Funny old world – back in 1992 Alan Suger was writing to the FT demanding to know just who the fuck Gordon Fucking Brown thought he was to criticise business leaders.

Meanwhile in Staffordshire, only the immigrant vote saves a few nulab councillors; almost all the rest are tory.
Bringing back Pitch Ripper Hain is the last gasp of the drowning Captain Jonah. Its beyond deckchairs on the Titanic – the ship has already sunk.
Dear All
If Peter Hain (the turncoat) employs his 82 year old mum to look after his interests then that is fine by me.
Have you clowns no respect for an old dear?
Get it right up you.
Yours sincerely

The Human rights of the electorate come before the human rights of an individual.
There is some doubt I understand as to whether Hain’s mother may be restricted in the performance of her duties by her age, which raises the possibility that the money she is receiving may not entirely be in relation to Hain’s Parliamentary duties.
It is of course open to Mr Hain to prove otherwise.
Get a grip, man.
It’s honourable if he does it with his own money. Stealing the taxpayer’s cash is what we object to.
It is reported that Sugar is to get a peerage and that Labour were unable to run an election campaign because they had no money.
2+2=4
When I pay taxes it’s 2+2=0 ok
To be fair to Lady Beckett, I remember her being thrown to the wolves on Question Time once, just before an election, because all the men were too cowardly to show up. I’m no fan, but she got points for bravery!
I guess the rumour is true though – that the women in Labour really do have bigger balls.
Still, it makes way for Katie Price to enter the cabinet – or should it be vice versa?
Beckett is vermin.
“People who don’t agree with me about AGW should be treated like terrorists” :- Margaret Beckett.
Peter Hain is an expert in strong and effrctive government pretty much in the same way that David Carradine was an expert in autoerotic asphyxiation.
Those types never come out of the closet.
Is there any news on Hain’s acolyte, the sleazy shyster Steve Morgan?
I very much doubt Hain has spoken to that little turd since he single-handedly ruined his career – last I heard Morgan the Organ was trying to set up an environmental lobbying business – what a despicable little shit of a human being…
Flint – NO PROMOTION.
That’s her f*cked then.
No career
No friends
Yeeee-Haaaaa
She can suck a golf ball through a hose pipe, she never lacks friends.
Give everyone a ministerial post = ministerial pension.
Goes back to the days of Harold Wilson!
Never mind Horrible Hain – what about Tessa Jowell returning as minister for london. That’s sewer scraping, not barrel scraping.
So we have Brown, Darling, Straw, Johnson, Milibands, Mandelson, Sugar, CooperBalls, Adonis, Byrne, Harman, Burnham, Bradshaw, Denham, Murphy, Hain and Jowell.
Without doubt a “Government of all the talents”
Orange is just a paler shade of ginger. Time to dust off the old donation repayment file Mr. Fawkes ! nulab , the gift that just keeps on giving…
I think that having to have TWO (count ‘em) Lords in the Cabinet speaks volumes for how much talent is left in the party…
Whatever happened to democracy?
Brown cracking up at his press conference. Still repeating the same old mantra, referring to his “moral compass”.
Take a hint. Your party hates you, the public certainly hate you and you are an incompetent buffoon in charge of a talentless cabinet. Just fuck off!
And so Hain gets his reward for voting against the Gukhas.
If i come round your gaff and tell you clear off on a long all in paid for holiday while i clear up your filthy mess, why would you stand there and tell me you gotta clear it up yourself? Now, why are these cnuts hanging around in their own shite? Theres no fcking roses growing thats for sure. The MO of these tossers is all arse about face. Dump on anyone but themselves all the time, now they wanna wallow in it. Dave Rooney is giving em a get out of Jail free card and the cnuts havent got the sense to fuck off outa it. Love that Flint woman to cross the floor though, eh?
Caroline Flint has resigned, even as the great leader speaks. These are the end days, not long now.
That’s loyalty for you.
Mind you, she was just as loyal to her husband.

and has been replaced by Glynis Kinnock!!!!!!!!

Can this get any more pathetic?
Glynnis and Neil two of the greatest euro-troughers of our time- what an example to les autres. In those immortal words…”you could not make this up.”
He did not satisfy her needs.
I quit!
I am watching brown press conference – I absolutely believe that the man is insane – and that there is no way we will ever be rid of him.
just delusional and gone sooner than you think
I agree. He came across as completely barmy. That maniacal creepy ‘smile’ made me positively ill.
Off to watch the cricket now but will get time to have my teeth fixed at the interval. Anyone got Daves number?
i’ll see you in the long room. A gyneacological friend asks about your labia, im sure we can come to an arrangement, wanna look nice for punters, surely?
As usual, these cretins (and none bigger than Peter Vain) are hired only to keep them quiet, not for their skills.
Labour is that boot stamping on a human face for ever.
“Female window dressing” Fair enough. My gyneacological friend does box dressing. Very reasonable, lovely tucks, never know he’d been there! Cant see the Fees office having a problem. Call me.
Backed the wrong horse here! Hoping for a better day at Epsom tomorrow. I’m fired otherwise
Instant peerage for Glenys Kinnock who becomes Minister for Europe.
That makes 7 peers in Cabinet. 7 non-elected, failed or crooked or otherwise discredited ex MPs.
Are we a democracy or a dictatorship? It’s looking more and more like the latter.
Don’t you know this is the mentalist’s way of restoring faith in democracy.
Utterly insane.
Hain has been appointed simply because Brownfinger has run out of barrel to scrape.
Breathtaking. What a farce. Monday will be DOOM BROON day

When you reshuffle shit you inevitably wind up with shit. Eva Braun, in his Westminster bunker is a totally useless shit. His new band of old recycled shit will last a day or two, then shit! We are up shit creek without a paddle. The trouble is the liblabconukip while we steal shits are neither more nor less than a bunch of shits and traitorous shits at that. We need rid of all this shit. We need a middenman. Ray Mallon or some reincarnation of Ollie Cromwell. Someone who knows how to fumigate, disinfect and sanitise shit. If we do not find this savior very soon we will sink under all the shit. Shit, I’m really angry. Even in the darkest days of WW11 we were in less shit. Cameroon is shit also. I would not vote for that greasy old etonian used car salesman to save my life. He is just another shit. As for Cleggover, well, guess what? Just another shit!
Another day, another 1000 shits arrive. Hells bells, are we in the shit.
I’ve just heard Hain talking to Kirsty Young on Newsnight, I wanted to vomit. Hain is a self-opinionated, arrogant, fake-tanned idiot who consistently refused to answer any of her questions, and harped on about Broon’s wonderful ability at the G8 summit. Hain is a hypocrite who, like our new First Secretary Mandleson, lined his pockets at our expense. Their promotion exposes Broon’s lack of morality. Pass the sick-bag, as John Junor was wont to write! The sooner this gang of crooks is thrown out of office, the better.
He looked to me as if he was initially totally uncertain how to answer each question thrown at him. Wouldn’t surprise me if he wasn’t fed answers via a concealed earpiece.
“Barrel is being scraped”
You’re surprised?
Scraping barrels. Wrong wrong wrong Guido. Bliar scraped all the barrels he could find and Broon was left with the scrapings- at the time. Goodness knows what we call the ‘new intake.’ Suggestions on a postcard please. (or a blog site)- no naughty words or anagrams of stunc.
In contrast to some of his Labour colleaugues, who for once in their wretched existences have done the honourable thing, by quitting this revolting non-government with no real leader at all, Peter Hain has REJOINED it. Words cannot describe this greedy self server who will sacrifice any shred of decency he has to regain the salary and trappings of cabinet office, even though any worthwhile person would be ashamed to be associated with such a disgusting non Prime Minister. If Peter Hain thinks Gordon Brown is worth being associated with, he is himself nauseating.
Wales was glad to see the back of this odious twat. Hopefully his return will be the final kiss of death for the Liebour boyos network in south Wales and we may finally get political representation that reflects the whole of Wales and not just Cardiff and the Valleys!
Orange U Tan Hain replaced honest, decent, dilligent, loyal, altruistic, true socialist Paul Murphy. Why replace Like for Like?
Hain should fuck off back to South Africa and do the only thing he genuinely believes in. Does Barclays Bank still have a presence in the country? If so Hain, go. Go and go now! Fill your pockets at someone else’s expense(s).
