What Mandelson Really Thinks About Brown
The old joke that you can tell when Peter Mandelson is lying – his lips move, still holds true. While Mandelson is in the broadcast studios telling a sceptical voting public that Gordon “is the best man for the job” in reality he thinks otherwise.
In private, as the Mail on Sunday reveals, his view is very different, in candid emails discussing the mental state of Gordon Brown he is damning, calling Gordon “insecure, self-conscious physically and emotionally, uncomfortable in his skin and angry”.
In other words, psychologically flawed.
More later…
Oh dearie me, Mandelson is still a lying Hoon. What a surprise!!
The Penguin.
No surprise. He is a political snake, slithering into the best position for attack and for his own comfort.
What Mandelson Really Thinks About Brown… back then
WARNING : The accuracy and truthfulness of your Mandelson may be affected by the day of the week, calendar month, temperature, who he is currently sucking up to and many, MANY other factors.
This is in fact perfectly normal behaviour for the Mandy2009 so we suggest you do not return your Mandelson as no-one else wants the lying odious snake.
Gordon Brown’s weakness is his son, who has cystic fibrosis. The disease has some treatments but no cure. If Gordon Brown had a moral compass he would give up his job and use his influence to get a cure through translational research and clinical trials. Immediately speaking as someone whose son has just started taking a drug for his sons incurable disease, which I put a lot of effort into get.
Again … From personal experience – you never know how you are going to react to finding out if your child has a fatal disease. About only 20 percent of people raise funds. Only 2 percent of people join a charity as directors or do serious work. Most people say Id do anything for my child but few do. It makes me so angry.
If Gordon had any morals he would raise money fir his son. Ask Gordon what he has done for his son.
It’s a fair point and I wish you well in your efforts.
Are you quite sure you really want to open the box on opining on Party leaders and their “morals” on how they care or have cared for their children with a deadly serious illness ?
You are welcome to your opinion but that’s all it is. And it’s pretty disgusting to try and using it for mere Party Political gain or to try for the cheapest of pointscoring.
As far as I know even the bottomfeeding scumbag McPoison wasn’t enough of an inhuman reptile to try that repugnant smear.
That is bang out of order. Go for the man, even his appalling wife…but not his son.
I would like to clarify that Peter Mandelson and myself are not related despite vicious rumours to the contrary.
You cock!
I do hope they find a cure for this dreadful illness soon. However regarding Brown, as far as I am concerned he has been obsessed with children ever since his baby girl died.It was only after his own personal experience that he bothered with them.He has lavished huge sums of money onto the under 5s whilst keeping pensioners in penury.As I stated some days ago,his government are giving money – up to £175 a week, for gymslip mothers to pay for childcare.This is absolutely scandalous. That’s besides all the other money that these ’saints’ get to look after their children.
reminds me of that f*cking wanker talleyrand
The thing is, that mandelson will be delighted that we are all discussing him – even though it’s all bad.He just loves being the centre of attention. He’s such a little actress.
Guido,
Given the cross-hairs over Brown photo – I suspect that you gave this scoop to the Sunday Mail.
Mandleson will no doubt rebut this with a “soothing reply” – but
it does rather undermine his public utterances.
According to the Sunday Times, Guido sold it to a ‘newspaper’ for a five figure sum.
Well done that man! I hope it was a very large five figure sum.
Gweedo (Andrau kneel prounounced it like) should get a medal.
I was going to try an invent a headline with the words:
“Mandleson livid after Drapers leak stains (with an e)”.
Apart from the fact that It doesnt make gramatical sense I’ve discovered a banned word : “Stains with an e”
Why oh why do people write stuff like this on email!!!
Mr Fawkes, I salute your ability to sit on these for so long – you must have laughed like a drain long into the night.
Can’t wait to see what else Mr Draper has in his inbox :)
You actually believe anything Mandelbum ever says ????? Adorable.
If anyone’s psychologically flawed that no good two faced creature mandelson
is. But he’s ever so pretty isn’t he?
Loved what my 90 year old father said when watching Mandelson last night on the news.
“Turn that nancy boy spiv off!”
Many of the Sundays are warning about ‘the Dark Lord’ – as if we needed to be told.
Apparently these emails were in the same McBride/Draper cache Guido acquired so there’s lots still to come. Happy days.
lets hope this grubby little arsebandit makes a leadership challenge then we can get rid of him for good !
That’s not an old joke. It’s just old.
er, what is?
So Draper sticks the knife into Gordon?
Or was it Handleman?
Who is next in line, McBride.
FRont row seats are de rigeur for this cat fight.
We are eating too much wheat. A scorched-earth policy is the only way. You know I’m right.
No surprises here of course, but it’s a bit rich of Blair in the same paper to criticise Brown’s lying …
Mind you, I felt that his lie at the recent press conference about never intending to remove Darling as Chancellor might be his end. It was so insulting to the intelligence of every journalist present, let alone the Great British Public, that I feel he will have alienated virtually the whole of the Press (I discount of course Brown’s boot-boy-mini, pants Maguire).
Add Toenails. He’ll say and do anything he’s told.
It was a miracle how the journos managed not to burst out laughing at several points. I only wish they had. Brown can put up with our loathing, which he no doubt reciprocates, but I suspect laughter would send him over the edge.
Except that he also insulted everyone’s intelligence with the “setting out his vision” excuse for cancelling the election that never was. 18+ months later, he is still here like a floater that won’t flush …
Not too sure about that. You see, Blair clearly believes that his lies are/were of a much higher standard, whereas Brown’s lies are just low grade dissimulation. And now that Blair (having studied the get-out clauses) has adopted Catholicism, his lies are of a truly superior quality.
I guess he’s working on his canonisation right now. Has he completed his deals with the Vatican yet?
But I do want to be first in line to participate in his martyrdom….
Bliar didn’t get his ‘name’ for nothing
Mandelson can face in two directions at the same time, and so can blair. They were BEST friends you know.
That comment came from January 2008, when Broon was relatively normal. Just think what state he’s really in, now.
Brown has never been relatively normal – what we see today is what has been hidden during his Chancellor days
He’ll be returning to god soon, wonder if it’ll be the same god as blair’s god?
Why has the dead tree press and the bbc not picked him up on the Darling lie. I hope that it is put to him in to the Sunday morning interviews (or is he disappearing again).
Someone with such a fragile flawed mental state such as Brown is easily manipulated then, and a perfect host for a parasite such as Mandy.
Mandleson is Wormtongue
Yes a very good, however sinister analogy. That makes one feel slightly queasy.
Hmm. I can’t see Cameron as Gandalf though :o)
Who is Gollum then, the character who unintentionally destroys the very thing he loves ?
Got to be Mandy, innit!
Ellsworth Toohey.
I would argue that Brown is neither fragile or flawed – he may be stressed currently, but look at the fuckin’ mess he’s made – no Brown is cunning, is devious and a bully. Bullies always pretend that they are in control and use their false beliefs, their delusions of grandeur to abuse people….. in Brown’s case, the nation!
Mandlebum is the closest thing to a serpent in human form.
Remind me how many times he was thrown out of UK politics and please, remind me who democratically elected him back into lamestream “politics” last year??
He was brought back when Brown was already finished – but manipulated the ‘Brown bounce’…he is Brown’s handler in all but name and the unelected PM, supervising the ‘take down’ of what’s left of Britain for his EU/corporate/bankster masters.
Democracy my arse. Demockery more like.
Agree, absolutely!
The idea that Quean Handlebum of Fey could ever support the Gurning One presupposed a Damascene coversion of grotesque proportions. Mandleson has got what he came back into British politics for. He gets all the power and none of the responsibility while Gordon keeps the responsibility and the keys to No. 10. One can imagine the converstion on Friday, “Anything you want, Peter. Just leave me as PM, please, please! please!! PRETTY please!!!”
No, no, no!
Mandy gave up a plum job in Brussels as an EU Commmissioner (temporarily) for only one purpose – to make sure there were no late cock-ups and that Britain would be delivered hog-tied into the clutches of the nuEU.
He has done his part; the Royal Seal is now on the Treaty, and implementation of it only awaits the resolution of a couple of minor local difficulties elsewhere. Expect to see him suitably rewarded after the Treaty has come into effect. Maybe he will be given the presidency instead of Bliar.
Completely agree.
Hence, Caroline Flint’s complaint that she was “just window dressing” – the real agenda was being controlled around her.
Once things looked like they were going pear shaped, Mandlebum was dispatched to save the project.
Removing an elected Flint and replacing her with an unelected Mrs G.Kinnock to push the project through.
Mandlebum doesn’t care about most of the other departments, he’s focused on the real long term power.
Although the Euro elections will deliver a clear message that the people of the country do not want Europe the project will be pushed through.
Another thought…
View the world that Mandleson’s agenda has always been to push the UK into the European Project.
Once Gordon assumed power and given the poor relationship between Brown and Mandleson the best position Mandleson could have hoped to push that agenda would be European Commissioner – which he got.
Mandleson waits as Commissioner, knowing that Gordon will blow up and need his help at some point.
Once that point comes, Mandleson is dispatched back to an unelected post at the Cabinet and given a fancy title to distract people from his real aim.
A weak and ineffective Caroline Flint is installed as European minister and is rarely invited to cabinet.
Mandy sets out to weaken Gordon and the Government with smear stories and the expense scandals.
The pretence of a cabinet reshuffle takes place allowing Mandy to install an unelected Kinnock into the European minister post, ahead of the European election results and with the objective of completing the European project.
Doesn’t sound implausible to me…
As to caroline flint – the one in the red dress who thinks the whole world of herself – there’s nothing like the hysteria of a woman scorned. Particularly one that fancies herself so rotten.
There’s an interesting chapter on Europe in The Plan (Douglas Carswell and Dan Hannon) p.61.
The Tories could pass a “Reserve Powers Act, guaranteeing the supremacy of Parliament against foreign treaties and judicial activism” (to counteract judges cherry picking from EU human rights legislation or make the law up in court — they’d say they are ‘interpreting’ it).
You can NEVER enforce a law which the people think unfair. So all their plotting might be to no purpose — and if we pulled out of the EU where would Mandelson, Kinnock et al. be then?
I believe all his emails. Email=truth.
You can tell what someone really thinks in their emails. If you want the truth get his hotmail account.
Tell us what you really think in an email.
Red Rag was set up to smear opponents so it worked. Presumably, the earl of pearls would have said the same thing over a coffee to dolly so why repeat it in an email. I don’t believe it was research for dolly’s career
Nobody so reputedly Machiavellian cum laude would entrust his inner machinations to a computer hard drive, let alone outright e-mails.
And this flawed tool is Bogey Man Numero Uno? The Head Honcho? The Big Cheese?
The Devil’s greatest trick was convincing the world that he didn’t exist.
(With apologies to sundry movie script-writers).
Mandy seems to show some insight into what makes Gordy tick. Takes one to know one?
Gordon Browns Cabinet: NOT IN OUR NAME !
Well Mandelscum would know. I love the Toynbitches’ delusions.
Mad or bad? – one must apply after Friday’s sanctimonious quoting of his Presbyteriam values and his fathers influence, immediately followed by blatant lying about not wanting to shift Darling. Either way we will be well rid of him.
Is his father still alive?
Buried under the patio.
mummified in his closet.
Daddified….surely?
The news that Mr Brown overclaimed on his expenses will further weaken his position, and will strengthen the hand of ministers whose own questionable expense claims might have been used as a reason to remove them.
A detailed analysis of Mr Brown’s expense claims also reveals that the Prime Minister claimed £30 on his office expenses for the cost of hiring a bagpiper to play at a ceremony for veterans
A steady drip, drip of news about Brown, something new every time he refuses to resign. This is the end of Labour if they don’t get rid of Brown soon.
It’s like a bunch of firemen who daren’t go near the blazing tanker because it looks like it could explode at any moment. FFS, somebody go and do the deed!
didn’t get much media coverage though, did it?
Can we have this McBroon photo as a caption competition please.
My entries … “Did I turn the gas off at No.10″. “Did I lock the knives away”.
Gordon Brown is not of the standard required, but the rest of Labour let him take the leadership without a fight, so what does that make them?
Just read the Telegraph story, and there’s Guido mentioned in dispatches again – in possession of the Mandy email leaks. You are becoming a sort of AntiMandelson in our politics sir. So how many signatures have the rebels got?
Once I read the BBC site first every day. Now I rarely log on to the Quisling News service. But Guido is my first port of call every morning.
Go Guido!
The BBC news are miles behind the blogs and spin furiously for the Labour govt.
Not even mentioned on thre Radio 5 news, where they interviewed TWO Brown loyalists instead!
Same here, BBC news is the homepage but rarely read. Go straight to the blogs..
Time to change your homepage – why give them the traffic?
Same here
Well look at their coverage of this particuar story – its not the lead, that is reserved for Broon’s fight back and support from someone few people have heard of. And where they do mention this story they miss the part where Mandy says Broon can’t win the election – perhaps the most damaging and contradictory part. I mean, the man certainly hasn’t got *better* since those emails were written has he?
Pains me to say it, but sell the BBC. We’ll need the cash to get out of the debt we’re in.
Its taken you lot this long to finally suss the BBC?
I’m a bit of a sentimentalist. And I liked the Morecambe & Wise Show.
Sell the BBC? Who’d buy it? – one of Nulabs millionaire MP’s perhaps.
Of course if one of them did, they could rename it Brown’s Bullshit Company, and not be accused of misrepresentation.
Mandy, of course, could name his own appearance fee. a ‘nice little earner’
How very Newlabour! Come on, shaun! you know you can!
Yes indeed, Telegraph, front page, column three: “The emails fell into the hands of Guido Fawkes, who writes the Guido Fawkes website, and are thought to be part of the same batch as those sent to Mr Draper by Damien McBride.”
Guido, why so coy about another of your triumphs?
But congratulations for sitting on this until this perfect moment after all the reigns of power are held by Mandleson. You must have been tempted to leak this before now.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see all of the oily, lying, sleazbag Mandleson’s Machiavellian plans come crashing to the ground.
They already did come crashing to earth when he didn’t get his dream job as Foreign Secretary. Though you are correct that it is surprising that Guido is so coy about holding them. Unless this information makes the leaker rather vulnerable to exposure of course.
Guido, watch your back.
I assume “reigns” was intentional?
Actually, no – it was purely Freudian. Well spotted!
hear hear to that. the bbc are not to be trusted; it is just a liberal/left mouthpiece- the licence fee should be scrapped now.
The bitch certainly knows how to pout.
i quite like the idea of prime minister mandelson
queen maker
I hear he has popped off to Brazil (again) to find some political ‘talent’ at least that’s what he said……
Let’s hope he’s flying Air France
Looks like being another interesting day. what if all politicians had to tell the truth eh. I see the’ve now wheeled out the biggest gravy train passengers with the ‘Kinnocks’, now THAT would be an interesting story to follow regarding perks!!!
Yes, this has not been seized upon enough. Two of the greatest eurotroughers of all time and the woman is now back in the house of lords to answer ‘questions’ along with a bunch of others. The husband was instrumental in quashing enquiries into the Brussels gravy train-the biggest beast of the lot. Which means in effect she and them along with Mandy will only be interviewed on TV with all that implies…….What a deceitful way to run a so called ‘democracy.’
All politicians should sign a legally binding undertaking to tell the truth at all times, including during campaigning, in manifestos, in the HoC, and with the media.
Lying should mean automatic expulsion from HoC and loss of job instantly.
In time, being truthful would become an ingrained habit, the way that lying is now.
Make it part of “The Plan”, Doug and Dan.
Brown is a deranged sociopath who is now in the process of falling apart because things are no longer going his way.
The pressure on him is about to be stepped up and he will be out of his job before the end of this week.
He will leave Downing Street only when the electorate kicks him out next year – or when the Ponce of Darkness tells him to go – Where’s the smart money on this one?
You reckon that Brown stays and you get an election? You reckon Mandelson stays and you get an election?
Hahahahahahahahaha
An election is the last thing I get when I see either of these two.
I would not believe Mandelson if I heard him recite The Lord’s Prayer; He is
so twisted that when he passes on it will be necessary to break his legs to
fit him into a casket.
He does a good job of reciting it backwards I understand
they will have to bury him with a corkscrew
Mandy appears to be untouchable so must have a massive graveyard where all the bodies are buried. The infighting is the best bitch fight in town.Another Scots numpty was just on 5live,Michael Connarty,and his arrogance was breathtaking.Shouting his head off and he has what is regarded as a safe seat,with varying accounts as to him being the 2nd or 5th highest claiming MP for X’s.The presenter said he was the 5th & was corrected by Connarty who proudly said he was 2nd! Hopefully the Scot Nazis Nationalists will diplace him when the GE comes.
Why “Scot Nazis”? You stupid little turd.
They’re National Socialists = Nazis. More importantly, if Alex Salmond grew a moustache and side-parted his hair he’d be a dead ringer…
Or a dead ginger
The secret with scandalous information is knowing when to release it for the maximum impact. There must be lots of “stuff” out there about Brown which needs to be leaked timeously. Now Mandelson is running No10 once more there will always be danger, that is why Lord High and Everything Else is known as “The Dark Lord”.
correct
Rocking Horse Photos?
I wonder what are Peter Mandelson’s motives for supporting Brown now, when he could have easily finished him off over the last few days. There must be a bigger picture or game plan that the general public knows nothing about. Something that has to benefit the senior socialists to have Brown remain seemingly in charge. The most obvious answer would be that there is some unseen financial benefit to the senior’s having Brown in charge for another year.
Have they found a way to funnel offshore some of the money that’s being printed out to their secret bank accounts in Russia or Israel, and Brown somehow enables this for them?
Or is there another secret hidden government issue that prevents them keeping Brown. There is no obvious reason why anyone back him for any other reason now, there is no “political” advantage to keeping Brown, he’s an albatross.
Perhaps Flint was right there is a two tier government and outer cabinet, and an inner “closet”, and those in the closet have a different agenda for Britain than what’s in the public domain and Brown has somehow bent over for the inner closet, to give them some benefit in kind.
Or there’s a secret alien threat, that’s more important than politics.
My other idea is that at least Brown somehow gives the socialist a very handy fall guy in the future, perhaps when they lose the next election, labour can distance itself completely from Brown, and say his totalitarianism was nothing to do with the party, an usurper, a loose canon who destroyed the country and its finances, and it will never happen again, honest…..
Perhaps the simplest answer is the correct one. Brown is titular head (no sniggering at the back) while the real power is in the hands of Mandy.
Yup. Puppet Master.
The EU really really doesn’t want us having an election and a referendum before November when the Irish are bought off. Then President Blair can appoint Mandelson as Regional Commissioner. Game over.
Spot on Brian.
Blair can’t handle being off the world stage… his vanity knows no bounds. Obama has no time for him because of Iraq, so it has to be Europe.
I think this is the basic fact of the matter
All this sh*te re the dark lord and Glynnis back into the cabinet has been about one thing, holding the line until it is too late for Dave to stand any chance (if indeed he wants/is able to change the fact. Once Ireland votes yes to the Lisbon treaty it is game over. the only way out after that would be for UKHMG to renage on an EU deal. If it happens IIRC it would be a first. In the real world it will not happen. Basically we have a matter of months before it is all over
I await Monday’s meeting of Brown with the PLP. I have bid for the contract to clean the walls of blood and snot. Please can someone make a recording, video if possible but sound will do.
How mush did Draper get for selling those emails to the News of the World?
Nothing. It wasnae him.
Guido, you naughty little…..
Well done Sir!
Well it wasnae me either.
It was a slightly richer Guido than he was the other day.
Poor old Mr. Draper. He’s been trying to keep his head down, and he finds himself in the depths of the shitstorm, and he’s not even got a quid for it!
If you were a gentleman you’d send him the cash for a pint. or a can of Aldi special brew.
PS: I got confirmation that he did take 3 years to do his A levels.
It wasn’t Dolly
Keep up at the back…!
The Prince of Darkness has total control of this Govt, does anyone else think he was responsible for the leaks of the emails…… the man is a genius of the dark arts but is probably one of the most destructive men alive.
Lets hope there is a vote of confidence in the Govt and the Labour MP’s arent bought off with a sackful of gold by Brown…. I wont hold my breath.
Sarah Brown is not doing a very good job as a PR expert. Wonder what she said to The Gorgon after he said “Obama Beach”. Maybe she is well versed in the black arts and she got together with PM [Mandelson] to make sure Balls was snuffed out in the reschuffle,heaping humiliation on Darling at the same time,who is a good friend.Tragic.Bring on the Euro results and Monday PLP meeting.Rivers of blood on the way
Isn’t Sarah Rita Skeeter?
Mandelson, “The Black Under lord”
a slithering creeping assassin, worthy of the worst any Harry Potter fiction could create.
Plotting his way to the top of the manure heap that is Westminster.
He is in his element, the Darkside.
Master beware!
The monster has broken free, it roams the dark halls of Westminster, moving easily it lurks in the shadowed halls…. waiting,
SSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
The backside, surely.
A mincing, fey version of Francis Urquhart; crawling to the top over a mound of backstabbed bodies.
Mandelson knows that he would have difficulty being elected hence his acceptance of a peerage from Brown and a return to government last year and he also knows that Brown is the best means he has of achieving his life’s ambition of if not being “de jure” Prime Minister at least being “de facto”Prime Minister and the REAL power in the government. However his real views on Brown haven’t changed but the means justifies the ends. It’s also why dear Ed is a bit pissed off this morning
Will you be laying in some more Margaux, Guido?
The electorate are fools to even accept Mandelson as part of the government. The media lap dogs just give him free ride, Marr and Robinson are petrified of him. His mate Campbell is also in the wings pulling the strings of gutless journalists. What is so astonishing is the introduction of a Kinnock back in the fold! Ex MEP who has systematically blocked the revelation of expenses and accounts of the EU project and its non-entity personel. Its a fucking joke! An unelected PM with no mandate from the british people, on 22% of the vote, 7 lords in the cabinet and this is democracy. Yesterday was a day to mark and remember the core values of the courageous mem and women who took part in a dangerous D Day opertion so that we could stand on the alter of freedom. When we have the likes of Brown, Mandelson, Marr, Robinson and the corrupt Kinnock’s in the political system then our country is on the rocks.
Good luck you sheeps!
I’d love to see Dan Hannon savaging Mandelson some time. Dan’s the only one who’s sharp as a knife and ruthless (in a good no-bullshit way) to take him on.
You have your target Agent Hannon, take him down.
mandy and broon,
unelected and plain wicked.
i used to feel sorry for broon,outdated policies,mad,insecure.
now i see him as dr evil.
…i used to feel sorry for broon
Worth a listen from the Guardian, especially what Jenni Russell has to say about him and his spin operation.
McMental is angry because in his twisted and tortured mind the people cannot comprehend his magnificence, his radiance and genius.
These ungrateful proles can’t recognise or accept the majesty of borrowing money like a drunken sailor is the mark of a political colossus
The ghastly people dare to look scornfully upon his urge to smear, damage and bully those in his own political grouping.
How dare they mock him when he appears on a video channel gurning and grinning manically.
How dare the little people wonder where the money has gone when parole officers are swamped by 90 cases, and some a staggering 137 case, including psycopaths who butcher french students.
Just keep raking in your pay and perks Labour scum, we know you wont do what the nation so urgently needs, for you are mostly an unemployable rabble.
It also doesn’t help that Little Lord Sodomite makes McMental dance around in a tutu with a posy up ‘is arse, to please bum boy Reynaldo either.
That does very little for his cheery persona either.
I take comfort in the belief that we are living in a virtual reality ( http://www.simulation-argument.com/simulation.html ). On that basis Gordo and Darkness-son are just viruses designed to test our mettle.

Andrew Neil says Guido sold these emails to the Mail. Is that right? Have you got any more?
There are hints elsewhere that the answer is yes.
This entirely supports George Osborne’s recollections of what Mandelscum apparently said to him at their infamous dinner in Greece.
Very good point.
We can look forward to the BBC’s apology to Osborne soon, I presume?
Mr Mandelson is said to have “dripped pure poison” when describing Gordon Brown and also informed Mr Osborne that the next general election will be held in May 2010.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/3140604/Peter-Mandelson-dripped-pure-poison-about-Gordon-Brown-to-George-Osborne.html
The Dark Lord should know it’s May 2010 he is running the country.
An interesting quote from David Cameron in Oct 2008 Telegraph article,
“… it beggars belief that this is going to be a government that isn’t dysfunctional and disunified.”
How right he was.
They’re all out on the airwaves again today, using the same script we saw yesterday. Just turn over and then back again once they’ve finished because you already know what they are going to say.

I told you Brown doesn’t like elections, just like Mugabe.
BULLYING LYING BROWN
There there, Mr Brown come back to bed and pop in another pill, don’t worry any one could make the same mistake, Obama sounds like Omaha doesn’t it, one’s a beach the others the President of the United States.
Don’t worry it all be over soon.
In the meantime we in the country suffer. Labour doing their best again, just like in the 70’s, to bankrupt the nation and fuck the little people, while taking the cream for themselves, yes that’s Labour again, Bullying Lying Brown’s party.
Brillo lays the blame/praise for selling these emails to the Mail at your feet, Guido. Is he right?
Brown’s blatant lying would offend any journalist worthy of their salt. There are of course well known exceptions. Inside and outside Pravda.
WHO is angry and insecure? Mandroid? The headline is rather unclear.
Is this the Mandroid who Gordon loved? Hell hath no fury like a pooftah scorned? Is this the revenge of the ‘Droid?

there is going to be blood on the carpet!!!!!!!
NEW Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth faced questions last night over his links to the boss of a British arms company that has won Government contracts worth more than £200million.
Since he joined the Ministry of Defence as a junior minister two years ago, it has secured three orders worth up to £230million to converts hundreds of Cougar heavy armoured vehicles for use in Afghanistan.
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/105905/Minister-quizzed-over-arms-firm-links-
DEVASTATING revelations in the Sunday Express about the expenses claims of senior ministers played a key role in the political crisis that has engulfed Gordon Brown in the last week…….
People need to be reminded that it is not just Brown but Labour that is finished. Brown is just a symptom of the underlying problem.
The Labour party will allow a mad dictator to head the government.
The Labour Party will allow Mandleson, a disgraced and unelected crook to pull the strings of power.
The Labour Party will allow a tax evading crook to live at No11.
The Labour Party promotes weak and ineffective people to positions of responsibility. These people always fail to deliver. Like Caroline Flint who bans biscuits from the Foreign Office & would fly off the handle if it was ignored. Like Ed Balls who is clearly a nasty, power hungry incompetent, etc etc.
The Labour Party will always economically ruin our country.
The Labour Party doesn’t keep key manifesto promises, like votes on Europe.
…and the list goes on and on…
The Labour Party should not be trusted and never be allowed into power again.
It’s nice to know that that the Conservative Party has never done and will not do the same.
I totally agree but unfortunately you will not eradicate the left; it is just too ingrained in the culture of significant swathes of the country. They have the media and education and have had them for years.The benefits system has created a dependancy culture that will not easily be altered.Labour will be beaten and go into a period of internal strife but will re emerge in 10 years or so.Sadly there is an underlying streak of envy and spite in the british psyche that will always feed the socialist parties.
The BBC is literally part of that dependency culture.
Lots of people getting huge amounts of money who know that it will likely stop when Labour go out of office.
Transparency is required. Repeat after me;
If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear.
Hear hear!
The natural main party of opposition for Britain under a Conservative government should be the Lib/Dems.
The extremist socialist minority, especially the lefto-fascist trend that has taken prominence in recent years, needs to be consigned to the bin of history. They have risen on a troika of spin, terrorism and climate change to oppress the people. What we need are pragmatism, reason and a considered, measured and above all mature direction for government (e.g. no thirty-something wonks or oiks who have never done a proper days work in their lives q.v. Byrne)
Brillo, Mandy, Sugar, Haig, Brown Tina all on Marr. Mandy has balls.Fair play
Dark Lord
Being interviewed by Marr? A ZaNu Labour politician with balls?
F**k off.

More big fibbers… isn’t this the son of tory Felix Gummy-chops?
In a country where 80% of the laws are imposed by a foreign government, it matters very little what domestic politicians do.
Good point, that is why Labour will be very worried if they do badly in Europe, all power will be gone surely.
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

Mandelson
Miliband?
all Gordon’s pals are totally pro EU and anti British national self determination through Parliament. I hope the cat fight is a good one.
Anyone for a pint of lager and a packet of crisps?
Mandy’s roughly the same age as Gordon (b.1951) – put a photo of the two side by side and you would never believe it.
Gordon, over the last two years has physically aged, dramatically. Coupled with his erratic behaviour at D-Day that is very telling.

Recent controversies
In October 2006, Mandelson generated more controversy when asked what he thought of Jack Straw’s remarks about Muslim women and the veil. Mandelson was overheard by a journalist to remark: “I have no doubt that Gordon Brown would agree with me that, for all his remarkable qualities, he would come over much better were he to agree to wear a veil. Gordon looks pretty dreadful without his face covered up”.[48]
In February 2007, the Daily Express reported that as EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson “requested a luxury £80,000 Maserati as his official EU car”. The Express claims Louis Michel, the Belgian EU Commissioner, was the source of the story and that Jose Barroso, the President of the Commission, rejected the request saying EU taxpayers “would not understand” the justification behind an £80,000 car.[49]
In March 2007 an interview made public by The Guardian revealed Mandelson to be critical of concessions Tony Blair made to Sinn Féin.[50]
On 6 March 2009 environmental protester Leila Deen of anti-aviation group Plane Stupid approached him outside a summit on the government’s Low Carbon Industrial Strategy and threw a cup of green custard in his face, apparently in protest over Lord Mandelson’s support for a third runway at Heathrow airport.[51]
[edit] Deripaska affair
In October 2008 Mandelson was reported by the press to have maintained private contacts over several years with Russia oligarch Oleg Deripaska, most recently on holiday in August 2008 on Deripaska’s yacht at Taverna Agni on the Greek island of Corfu.[52][53] News of the contacts sparked criticism because, as European Union trade commissioner, Mandelson had been responsible for two decisions to cut aluminium tariffs that had benefited Deripaska’s United Company RusAl.[54] Mandelson denied that there had been a conflict of interest and insisted that he had never discussed aluminium tariffs with Deripaska.[55]
On 26 October 2008, the Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague said the “whole country” wanted “transparency” about Mandelson’s previous meetings with Deripaska. In response, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Mandelson’s dealings with Deripaska had been “found to be above board”.[56] The following day, in a newspaper interview Mandelson declined to say how many times he had met Deripaska or what they discussed.”[57]
On 29 October 2008, while Mandelson was on a ministerial visit to Moscow[58][59], he was reported in the British press to have availed himself of the services of the KGB Colonel-General Valery Pechenkin, head of security at Deripaska’s company Basic Element. It was alleged that Pechenkin had organised a swift entry visa for Mandelson when he turned up in Moscow to visit Deripaska in 2005.[60]
On 14 January 2009 the Mail on Sunday asked how he had financed the purchase of a villa in London. Public records showed that he had paid £2.5 million for the property in 2006: almost 16 times his then salary as an EU commissioner. Reports at the time said that he had sold his shares in an advertising agency and received a large legacy from his mother, but Companies House records showed that the shares were not sold until 2007, while a copy of his mother’s will revealed that he had been left only £452,000.[61]
On 8 May 2009 the Daily Telegraph raised questions about the timing of Peter Mandelson’s house claim saying “Lord Mandelson billed the taxpayer for almost £3,000 of work on his constituency home in Hartlepool less than a week after announcing his decision to stand down as an MP.” [62]

MANDELBUM OF BOY SPREADS VENOM WHEREVER HE IS, HE IS POISON. AVOID HI AT ALL COSTS. HE IS NOT IN THIS TO SAVE BROWN OR LABOUR BUT ONLY TO PROMOTE HIMSELF TO POSITIONS OF EVEN GREATER POWER, AND NOT EVEN ELECTED!
Hello, Jeremy. I can see there is some discord here but I am very good at unifying. Show me your throat, will you?
Oi, again….Are you bloody thick or something? Will you please use lower case?
So Alan Su….sorry, Lord Sugar states he ‘doesn’t see his new position as Enterprise Czar (or is that Tsar?) as a political one’.
Now, I’m no great admirer of Alan Su..sorry, Lord Sugar, but I did think he had some nous.
Wrong gain!
Lord Sugar is saying to himself….I’m hired, now like Brown I can do as I like.
DID ANYONE SEE BROWN AT THE D-DAY SERVICE YESTERDAY? HE DID A VERY GOOD RE-RUN OF MICHAEL FOOT’S PERFORMANCE AT THE CENOTAPH, YEARS AGO, TWISTING, FIDGETING, LOOKING AROUND ETC. ALL HE NEEDED WAS A DONKEY JACKET AND AN EVEN WORSE HAIRCUT! COMPARE HIM WITH THE RELAXED SELF ASSURED APPEARANCE OF THE IMPORTANT WORLD LEADERS IN THE LINE-UP AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT AN INADEQUATE PERSON HE IS. HE MUST BE SUFFERING FROM A MENTAL DEFECT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HE HAS ASPERGERS. THE SYMPTOMS ARE UNCONTROLLABLE BAD TEMPER, IMPATIENCE, VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR AND INABILITY TO MAINTAIN NORMAL SOCIAL CONTACT WITH OTHERS.
HE IS FLAWED TO HIS VERY CORE AND ALWAYS WAS. ONE SERVICE BLAIR DID FOR THE COUNTRY WAS TO KEEP HIM FROM BECOMING PM FOR SO LONG. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF BLAIR HAD MOVED OVER SOONER, WE WOULD HAVE SEEN BROWN’S INABILITIES FAR EARLIER AND OUSTED HIM FOR SOMEONE BETTER ABLE TO MANAGE.
did you see the you tube of sky news ? brown called omaha beach obama beach- tells you everything !
DO YOU THINK HE KNOWS WHERE HE IS, WHAT HE IS SAYING AND WHY?
REMEMBER HOW, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, HE STARTED TO RUSH OUT OF THE COMMONS AFTER PMQ’S ONLY TO BE CALLED BACK BY THE SPEAKER BECAUSE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE A STATEMENT ON AFGHANISTAN?
HE IS NOT CRACKING UP, HOWEVER, BECAUSE HE CRACKED AGES AGO WHEN HE THOUGHT HE WOULD BE A BETTER PM THAN BLAIR, WHO HIMSELF WAS ABOUT AS BAD AS YOU COULD GET. IRONIC WHEN YOU THINK HOW LONG HE SPENT SCHEMING AND PLANNING TO TAKE OVER, LEAKING AND DESTROYING THE CAREERS AND REPUTATIONS OF ANYONE HE SAW AS THREATENING HIS AMBITION. NOW HE IS WHERE HE WANTED AND IT HAS TURNED INTO ASHES IN HIS MOUTH BECAUSE HE IS NOT ONLY A PROVEN LIAR BUT SIMPLY NO GOOD AT HIS JOB. PERHAPS SIR ALAN WILL HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO POINT THE FINGER AND SAY “YOU’RE FIRED”.
Prince Charles was asked by one Vet “Where is your Mother Sir?” – to which Charles responded with a smile and a shrug, not able to say that it was Gordon’s fault she wasn’t there.
The Vets knew where to put the blame though – lots of them wore a badge showing the Queens face as a protest and at Arromanche the Vets booed as Gordon arrived.
All in all a good day for the Vets and another a bad day for Gordon.
Would you kindly get your Caps Lock fixed Jeremy? Thanks.
I do it deliberately. It makes my piece easier to find when I want to see what replies there have been to my comments. However, for your sake, this reply is in upper and lower, as normal. Please bear in mind that I might very well revert to upper case on this blog.
Jeremy, if you want to find your post(s), just click EDIT > FIND on your browser and enter your signature “Jeremy Bowen” in the box. Takes you straight there.
It is a lot easier than pissing everybody off with your Upper Case SHOUTING. I simply don’t read your comments because it is difficult to follow what you are saying if you insist on using CAPITALS.
ctrl+F
The Palestinian people have to make do with just 2 capital letters a week because of the Israeli and Zionist NWO conspiracy against them. And no I’m not telling you how much I get paid for this.
Using upper case all the time defeats your efforts. People will just scroll past your posts as constantly using upper case makes them difficult to read.
Fee Fie Fo Fum. Will this one get past that Guido bum?
Eric Cantona @ 168:
I doff my cap to you, sir.
Thanks for the tip.
I think hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del repeatedly would be a better solution to his/our problem.
Let’s go even further back, and imagine hypothetically!

TELL US MORE ABOUT THE PICTURES!
IS BROWN WHAT WE ALWAYS THOUGHT HIM TO BE?
DO TELL ALL.
OR BETTER, PUBLISH THE PICTURES AND DESTROY HIM.
Now, I’m no great admirer of Alan Su..sorry, Lord Sugar, but I did think he had some nous.</i)
That'll be the same nous that made him run Amstrad into the ground trying to flog the ridiculous e-mailer will it? Nobody wanted the bloody thing but Sugar was convinced he had a winner on his hands and kept on knocking them out despite all the evidence that it was a total dud. The man's delusional and won't be told. He's a fitting helpmate for Gordon.
Guido says ” more later” – going to be an interesting day.
What I wonder though is ,we all know Gordon runs implacable vendettas against those he perceives have offended him even slightly. What will he feel about Mandy now?
And since Mandy is the only thing propping him up, who will keep Gordon going if Mandy is cast aside?
The Dark Lord cannot be cast aside he is running the show. The “more later” is knowing when to release the “good stuff” timeously.
Ho hum, just another test to improve my average on non-zapped posts.
Lizzie @ 129
Thank you for making my day. (I don’t get out much, ye ken?)
“Timeously”.
Don’t tell me you’re one of the fortunate few who’ve never been shanghaied into a Plain English course run by Common Purpose tools.
That word is as frowned upon in such milieu as the Party Which Cannot Be Named is on here.
As I mentioned before, there’s no fury like that of a woman scorned.
Tony Benn was on Sky this morning, Labour has no policies he says. Also said personality was not an issue….ouch. Benn is a tad out of touch these days in the era of 24 hour news coverage. The other “first ladies” were very chummie yesterday in Normandy, even dressed similar. Where was Sarah? at her husband’s side keeping him in check, as he is very insecure and self- conscious….oh dear, the great leader of the G20 is crumbling as we speak.

Tony Benn was not that supportive… his take seemed to be the person in the PM seat didnt matter it was policy and action that the Electorate wanted; the media “X Factor” style of politics was all wrong etc etc
Hardly a full endorsement of GB, more ” so long as Labour is in No 10, we’re OK”
Tony Benn is always trying to protect hilary, so he’s gone a bit soft in the head. Anyway he never was perfect.
Mandy is ripping Jug ears to pieces.
Gordon will be more than pleased
When you’ve been given the questions 24 hours in advance, it ain’t quite so difficult, is it.
KINNOCK THE PILLOCK IS ALSO SAYING HOW WONDERFUL THAT HIS DREADFUL WIFE IS ALSO GOING TO GET SOME TAXPAYERS’ MONEY. REMEMBER THE OLD MAN TRYING THE CROSS CHANNEL SWIM IN HIS SUIT AT T HE LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE? REMEMBER HIM BAWLING “ARE WE AWRIGHT” OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN HE THOUGHT LABOUR WOULD WIN AN ELECTION. THEY LOST.
THE PAIR OF THESE USELESS OLD HACKS ARE DISGRACEFUL MONEY-GRUBBERS. WHAT HAVE THEY EVER ACHIEVED OTHER THAN BEING PROMOTED BEYOND THEIR LEVEL OF COMPETENCE. THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO MANAGE AS LIVE-IN TOILET ATTENDANTS AT BRENT CROSS SHOPPING CENTRE, BUT IT WOULD STRETCH THEIR ABILITIES.
As I recall, the ginger one repeatedly yodelled “Alright!” alone, in a toe-curling parody of Ray Charles.
Sounded more like Lord Charles with haemorrhoids.
So if the dark sith is really in control of browns future, For what purpose is brown kept as the public figurehead. Is it because as such a bumbling fool he is key to distracting the public from the real agenda.
With the arrival Of ole Mrs kinnock it would seem that the UK’s entrance to the EU is to be foisted upon us in the prevailing months. This if achieved by unelected parlimentarians has to be the biggest travisty ever put upon our fine nation. Surely it must be time for our monach to do her duty and bow to her peoples will unless by implication of inaction she is in colusion with the dark sith.
Democracy seems to have no meaning with our ruling elite may the English public awaken a claim back what is rightfully theirs God bless England God bless the Queen……………….
LABOUR WAS NEVER A CREDIBLE GOVERNMENT. IT NEVER HAS BEEN. LABOUR ACTS AS IF THERE IS ALWAYS AN ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF MONEY, SOMEONE ELSE’S OF COURSE, THAT IT CAN SPEND ON MADCAP IDEAS. LABOUR HAS NO CONCEPT OF HOW TO RUN AN ECONOMY. MOST OF THEM HAVE NEVER RUN A BUSINESS OF ANY SIZE OR COMPLEXITY AND HAVE NO IDEA WHATSOEVER THAT ANY ORGANISATION HAS TO SHOW, YEAR AFTER YEAR A SURPLUS OF INCOME OVER EXPENDITURE (WE USUALLY CALL IT “PROFIT”) AND A POSITIVE CASH FLOW. HAS BROWN EVER RUN A BUSINESS? NO, NEVER. HE HAS BEEN A CAREER POLITICIAN FROM UNIVERSITY ONWARDS. WHAT BUSINESSES DID BLAIR EVER RUN? NONE. LOOK AT THEIR AWFUL FRONT BENCH. ALL CAREER POLITICIANS. AND BALLS, SO APTLY NAMED; BROWN’S NUMBER TWO (APPROPRIATE NAME, ONCE AGAIN) AT THE TREASURY FOR YEARS AND HIS ANOINTED SUCCESSOR – ANOTHER POLITICIAN WHO HAS NEVER ACHIEVED A THING IN THE REAL WORLD OF BUSINESS AND HAS UTTERLY COCKED UP AT THE TREASURY AND NOW EDUCATION. BALLS IS AN INVETERATE LIAR.
If you need a good laugh, the Labour Party’s own balance sheet and accounts are available for viewing on the Electoral Commission’s website.
So last year. Boring.
Kim Jong Brown looks like he is being set up for a fall. He also looks wrecked – noticable that even at the re-shuffle Press conference on Friday his tie was again a mess. Does Mandy do that to him deliberately before he goes out into public spaces?
Brown adjusts hair. OMG, he can’t take the strain.
Brown blinks 1 eyelid. OMG, that’s the signal for an election.
Brown looks down. OMG, he looks depressed and will commit suicide on thursday.
Can’t help thinking this was badly timed.
I rekon half way through next week might have been more fun.
