          Do not underestimate David Miliband, his boyish appearance hides a shrewd intellect and an amazingly analytical mind. He will replace Brown as PM after the next election and go on to finish off the Tories for good. Cameron knows this which is why he is asking his friends in the media to talk up Alan Johnson as next Labour PM.

      What folk are forgetting about Blair is that he could have sacked Brown at any time for his lunatic destruction of the economy (ongoing) but it suited Blair to kid on to the electorate that all this borrowed ‘prosperity’was real too.

      Of course WE don’t want Blair back – it’s only the NuLab voters – a small and diminishing minority, as last night proved, who do. (The YouGov poll was among NuLab voters.)

      Blair was/is an exhibitionist whose chief characteristics are:-

      vanity

      irresponsibility

      cowardice

      fantasism.

      You would have to be a NuLab voter, ie practically certifiable, to want that all over again.

      When Blair nicked stuff off you, he was able to play it like a street magician.

      “That bloke just took my watch.. that’s great. And my phone wow amazing.. I didn’t feel a thing. he gave them back though. Thanks man. It was awesome. Hey! Where’s my wallet gone?”

      There is a real CH who sometimes comes here, but is more often found on LabourList – but there is someone doing very funny imitations (and usually adds the midde E).

      I actually think Master Baiter is for real – but his motives are unclear. I once suspected he was one of the Nazis posing as a Labourite, as evidenced by his racism and other types of hate speech. Presently, my professional opinion is that he is probably a late developer with an Oedipal fixation.

    So you think the expenses issue was bad management. No it was perfect manipulation. Both Blair and Brown have rulled by gang tactics.

    This government has done its best to criminalize every person they can. From random children in Camden, to the rich with their expenses and tax and drug issues. Report a crime around here and they just arrest you (current case of friend on going). They make the innocent fear.

    Then there is the fear by database. They promise databases of information and then make sure there are enough publicised leaks. So no one that is innocent dares do anything.

    1. NHS – All people with birth, or other defects, will fear. Good bullying tactic to find out a persons psychological or physical defects first.
    Then they must not smoke, drink or be muscular with a high BMI values. Back of the queue to you wasters.
    2. Kids – This is the most sinister database. Now we can control you by “knowing” about your kids. But what is more, 400,000 civil servants will know as well.
    They even use BMI to torture the kids. (recent case).
    3. The internet database: We know your political bias by your web site choice.

    “The Stasi – the secret police – kept files on more than a third of the population.
    Building its profiles from informers, the Stasi requested that East German schoolteachers
    ask children to draw what clock they saw on television the night before.”

    4. The road number plate tracking : We can follow all your affairs and locations. – Just modern day Stasi check points.
    5. The house database (aka StreetView): We know your asset value. Your hobbies, Your Vote *** sticker in the window. Your security (light cameras, alarms)
    6. The ID database. Now they will limit access to services unless you join the gang.
    7. DNA database – Limited comfort blanket for the Police.

    So the outcome will be: More identify theft (even for NHS use), more use of encryption and off shore sites and theft of internet dongles/phones, more thefts of cars/plates, plate forgery, more transient/foreign criminals, more body piece thefts during attacks. Knife crime increase has its reason (DNA). Every piece of technology used at Government level is easily circumvented by the criminals.

    But the purpose is not to catch criminals, it is to control the innocent and stupid. The expense system was relaxed to encourage a slow creep of “acceptable” behaviour. Then it was turned on them for control. As I said “the stupid”. Why did they not see it developing? Standard bullying entrapment.

    Remember they tortured a scientist until he took his own life.

    It is simple bullying. Dare and initiate. This is not democracy, it is gang culture. We now have both a EU and a government that ignores its MPs totally.

      “Remember they tortured a scientist until he took his own life.” Rubbish – stop believing what you are told unless it’s supported by irrefutable scientific and logistical evidence, if you really want to understand what has been going on.

      “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Sherlock Holmes

      That means that any fact at all that contradicts the “official conspiracy theory” proves that theory to be a deliberate falsehood propagated for political purposes.

    It is worth recapping on just how terrible this round of elections has been for Labour.
    – Labour is now the third party of local government in England, with fewer councillors than the Liberal Democrats for the first time since the First World War
    – Labour secured the lowest vote share ever recorded by a serving government in both elections
    – Labour fell under 20 per cent vote share for the first time since 1910, when the party was four years old
    – Labour controls no county councils
    – Labour lost a poll Wales for the first time since the First World War
    – Labour have no MEPs in the South West region for the first time ever
    – Labour were beaten by four parties in two regions of the country
    – Labour recorded an 8 per cent vote share in the South East

    THIS IS WHAT GORDON BROWN HAS DONE TO THE LABOUR PARTY.

    HE ALSO MANAGED TO SEND 2 BNP MEPS TO BRUSSELS

    HIS GOVERNMENT CHANGED THE RULES TO ALLOW FLIPPIN AND THE OTHER EXPENSE SCANDALS. HE IS SEVERELY IMPLICATED.

    Surely Mandelson is sorting at the very moment a deal under which Blair is “peered” and pushes aside Brown as PM.

    Cue another war, possibly Iran, and Team Blair is back in business, much to Guido’s approval.

    Is that so ridiculous?

    It’s clear from the Euros that the Tories haven’t sealed the deal and beyond Cameron there’s fuck all if not a cast list of horrors waiting in the wings (Osborne, Willetts, Gove for fuck’s sake)

    What’s the betting Blair would fight backt to a draw with the Tories, ushering in PR, which he always wanted to do anyway – to completely fuck up Brown.

Cheap, easy to do given our compliant TV stations and causing everyone to rush to mummy’s skirts in our anxiety (they hope).

        Stepney says:

        Dear Plaything,

        Tribune was a title shared by 10 elected officials in the Roman Republic. Tribunes had the power to convene the Plebeian Council and to act as its president, which also gave them the right to propose legislation before it. Also, the tribune could summon the Senate and lay proposals before it. The tribune’s power, however, was only in effect while he was within Rome. It was legally impossible for a patrician to be a tribune of the plebeians.

        There ya go.

    At least when Blair was out there prancing his stuff on the world stage we would not all look away from the telly in embarassment. At least he could lie convincingly. At least he could smile like he meant it.

    Brown is _such_ a Huhne he makes Blair look fucking good. End of story.

    I did agree when Millipede said that on question time, and now he’s been proved correct. (Heck even the biggest losers get it right occasionally!) Shame millipede didn’t have the balls to finish Brown off. He will not be forgiven that by the British public.

    Dave, you only have to say that you will hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and UKIP will be exKIP.

    Gordo, your case is a bit harder but here goes. Go to your native Glasgie, spend an evening in a pub (there must be one where you will be safe.) Do a bit of vox pop stuff with the local — and then break the news that you feel that smokers have been treated very very badly and so you are going to reinstate smoking in pubs, clubs, and the like. It was authoritarian and overdone and you don’t know how “they” were allowed to get away with it.
    Of course you dress it up a bit, but if you do that Gordo, I think you can add a cool 15% may be more to your ratings. Coz, I don’t think Dave is going to do anything like that. And as you down your last double Scotch and pay for the round of drinks, you remark thoughtfully that the stuff has really got absurdly expensive.

    Come on boys, let’s see which of you is a goer.

      She was on about being an MEP inWales which received ‘substantial amounts of regional funds because we have so many disadvantaged areas….’

      Oi, Glenyis – do you think voting Labour since 1922 and having a Labour government since 1997 might give you a clue as to why Wales has so many fucking disadvantaged areas?

      Labour is more conservative than the Conservatives. Their policies actually keep people in poverty and dependence. Labour dependes on poverty and dependence for its core vote. The last thing Labour wants is to raise the folk of Wales (or Scotland) out of dependency. Finally Wales and Scotland have wised up. It only remains for the NE of England to do likewise.

      All across Europe center-right parties are making hay. Even countries with incumbent centre-right governments – no ‘protest’votes there. No blaming their government for any ‘global downturn’. Because in their heart of hearts everybody knows the philosophy to trust with money.

          It’s unlikely if any form of regulation short of communism would have stopped the massive scam that grew out of the now derided ‘financial innovations’on which the bloated blood sucking industry grew. It was accepted widely that securitization of debt helped to spread risk, when in fact the opposite was true.
          In any event the thieves and cheats in the financial services industry are aligned closely with the Conservitudes.
          Saying Labour didn’t regulate the industry enough is a non sequitur since the Conservitudes were calling for more deregulation through out the whole period.
          The process is unravelling still and the side show that is electoral politics will not stop that unravelling. The battle is between the scorched earth policies of the Conservitudes – ‘the nothing we can do about it’outlook and the Labour plan to mitigate the effects through intervention which view is in line with Obama’s.

          I’m beginning to think the only market you understand is Peckham Market.

          It’s very simple Brown destroyed everyone’s pension.

          Then after 2 years of “prudence” he borrowed like hell to fund a boom.

          The boom was not “investment” as investment leaves an asset behind – but bingeing. And Gordon wrecked the financial supervision authorities so the binge could be a big one.

          The binge attracted loads of talented overseas workers and produced nothing for working class people who were cut out of the job market by better qualified workers or those prepared to work for lower salaries. Anyone who pointed this out was called a racist ( eg Michael Howard ) for stating things NuLab didn’t want to admit.

          The government had\has no industrial strategy so all the real jobs get offshored and we get “five a day coordinators ” ( what my mum used to do as a matter of course )

          Suddenly the binge hits the wall

          There is no more money to be borrowed. The industrial base has been crapped on ( spoken to anyone at LDV ? ), Labours traditional voters see they have been screwed by their own party and go to N Griffin.

          Gordon Brown refuses to accespt there is a problem anywhere and drags Labour to oblivion with him

    Only now are some of those fawning cowards sneaking out to bite their leader like some hyenas sensing their once feared leader is finished when just months ago these same cringing two faced arseholes were fawning to and praising McMental like he was the second coming!

    Does anyone else find there is something utterly pathetic about those newlabour MPs who engaged in dirty tricks and those who were victims of it only now complaining and moaning?
    These scumbags are not fit for political office untill they have had a good few years in the political wilderness like old labour and Mr greymans Tories were forced to.

    Many sympathise with people like frank Field and I admit to being among them BUT the fact is he was cowed and bullied by Brown and his minions for years and that fact alone means he is unfit for any office whatsoever, the last thing this nation needs to fix things are snivelling plotting two faced cowards to afraid of their own positions to speak out clearly from the start in defence of reason and right!

    Anyone of the ‘rebels’should have thought first about their country and faced down the bullies in parliament and brought them to book in public, I would have admired a rebel standing up at PMQs and telling McMental to his face what a scheming lying bully he is when he was plotting against Blair.

    This is an essentially un-elected government of none of the talents, being ruled by a self-obsessed, deluded maniac egged on by a load of sycophantic equally deluded and self-serving hangers on.

    There doesn’t seem any mechanism here for right-minded people to stand up to them, and give the British people a chance to say what we think. We seem to be totally powerless against them, until next June that is.

    And even then folks – as I have said often on this forum now – it honestly would not surprise me if Brown and Mandelson were working on a way to “fix” that election result in some shape or form, or attempt to find a reason why that election could not go ahead.

    My friends, I think we should be very, very worried indeed about this regime is capable of and what this Prime Minister in particular may choose to do.

        Ballot boxes going “missing” etc, suspicious amounts of postal votes being cast, the returning officer “losing” files during the post-election investigation, people turning up to vote on polling day only to find they were mysteriously not on the electoral register, and then there was the way Labour fought that campaign – very sleazily indeed!

        As I said, I have very real worries about the next general election.

        The heartening this is that the Returning Officers all work for local councils, and most councils are thankfully not in Labour’s command any more – where the marginal seats are anyway – so maybe less chance to tinker with the system!

    Bring Blair back? NO! No. Nope. No way. Oh No. Don’t even go there. You’re effing kidding aren’t you? Please tell me that’s a joke.

    Oh, sorry. They asked the few remaining Labour voters what they wanted. My bad.

    I simply say that McLiar and McTwat were born of the same She Jackal’s stinking front passage. They share the same mental issues and will should share the same dock. Their worthless remains will need to be handled with more stringent precautions than the most hazardous nuclear waste – lest the darkness escape.

      Harman as Leader is the “kamikaze solution” – aprt from a few far left nutters nobody in the party would vote for her. Why not go for broke and make Balls leader ?

        … why not go for broke … they’ve already done that – with Gordon! And we are!

        As for making Balls leader? He’s every bit a venal hatchet man as Brown, if not more so.

    Duck Island Blue says:

    If the PLP retains Brown as leader and the no confidence vote on Wednesday fails, then Cameron should persuade all Conservative MPs to resign their seats and hold a by-election on a single day in September (à la David Davies). The purpose of the by-elections would be to seek a vote of confidence in the integrity of sitting MPs following the expenses scandal. The main argument would be that it is the electorate and not a statutory or parliamentary process that should decide on this issue.

    MPs whose expense claims are not acceptable to the Conservative Party would be deselected (with the consent of the local constituency) but be free to make their own case to their electorate by standing as an independent (unlikely course of action but an important safety valve).

    Resignation of seats would be deferred until late summer to give the government the opportunity to call a General Election before the end of October. In this case, the mass by-elections would be commuted into the General Election.

    Cameron should refuse to participate in any government, parliamentary or inter-party “cleaning up of expenses” initiative before the by-elections on the grounds that confidence in the Westminster Parliament can only be determined by the electorate.

        Disregarding the plausibility of Cameron doing this, what are the downside risks?

      Dr Nuts says:

      The costs with that many by-elections is too high.

      Nice idea – but it’s too expensive, and the GE is around the corner. On top of that there’s a high risk of losing the seat in either election.

      Politically a dangerous game to play.

    As hopefully the mentalist is to meet his end this evening , and OH has prompted some useful thinking , and Guido added his view , caesars wife is convinced somthing is very wrong with our country .

    The wonkness of nu labour socialism , is in its gradual removal of our rights and governments accountability , it is bleeding us dry both mentally and financially , it is gutless mass of ignorant unelected liberal facists , whose only role is to spend more money on the problems there moral incontence and lassitude creates . They divide and spin to only for the purposes of power , that oceana face of big brother staring down at you , with its bogus morality .

    harriet says labour created the B&P , not so its the fascist liberal elite of socialism , its godless arrogance , scornfully legalising its own fevered wonk idealogically prosperity , beyond common sense and respect.

    The B&P are a reaction , a force needed to redress , a futile future , i dont like racism its not a watertight argument , but when you enforce subsidiarity against the will and refined history and understanding of a countries population, to the point where you break it up into a near ungovernable mess , there is a reaction . Our peaceable nation was based on the organic structure and value/stabilty of the family unit , a shared civilised society progress, not a continued injection of sex, drugs, fear and rule by fear .

    it is no good weeping over the failure of labour , it is so unnatural it deserves the most public rebellion avaiable , and yet they smear , threaten and rubbish the democracry that they dont want .

    When at the manchester counts other politicians turned there back of Nick Griffin , they were behaving as an eleitest class , refusing to believe that there are other political legitamcies , long swept under the carpet so that the champagne socialists could continue its arrogant propogation , and deny its failures .

    I do not want racist conflict , but when a labour mp boasts that one day the Uk will become islamic , he is telling us that we are a nation that no longer can deteremine its own destiny , and its people fools . The EU is doing the same thing , removing our sense of belonging , by putting our governance somewhere else .

    whilst most people see the B&P as anti immigration , they are a wake up call , immigrants dont just come and go with the economic cycles , they create there own culture and population , the problem is how do you be respectful to minorities without degrading your own culture , to carry on requires supression . What is the point at which people resent being made worthless when they can truly say they have built this country , even many surnames are imprints , Miller , Baker , Smith , church etc etc .

    There is a point at which rebellion occures , when the new so upsets the common understanding of the hsitorically worked , that it can do nothing else.

    We cannot change history of the way in which we became technically advanced as the world was discovered and travelled , good or bad , but sacrficing a nation to a socialist construct by the most devious means and lies will end in trouble , there is no example of it ever working !

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
