Bonkers MPs Should Lose Seats
Alistair Campbell thinks MPs detained under the Mental Health Act should not automatically lose their seats. The BBC reports him saying that such a “simple and symbolic” rule change would be a “powerful” way to lift the taboo around mental health which exists in politics. Campbell said many MPs including members of Tony Blair’s government had had mental problems. Yes, someone did once say that Gordon Brown was “psychologically flawed”. Sorry, but Guido really doesn’t want bonkers politicians running the country anymore…
does selling 1/2 gold reserves uk at $265 count as bonkers
On this score, was Winston Churchill bonkers by virtue of his well publicised bouts of depression?
Well, I’ve never heard anything more bonkers than this recent suggestion, by a Labour Activist:
‘Labour Policies and Values to be made LAW’.
That’s pretty much barking mad. This would make it illegal for any future Government to abandon any Labour policy.
Doesn’t get much crazier that that.
Unless it’s part my My Lord Mandelson’s Master Plan? Then it’s not bonkers at all – just terrifying.
This is obviously a stunt designed to prevent Brown being forced out on mental health grounds.
Imply there are many MPs suffering with mental health problems and when the proof finally surfaces about Brown’s, point out that he’s not the worst and he is still capable of doing the job.
Throw in a few sacrificial scapegoats like Morley in the expenses row and you’re done.
Laws can of course be revoked so it’s not an issue. Indeed 3000 pieces of marxist liebour law should be revoked on day 1 of the new administration
I agree. This is obviously a reaction to the increasing number of people who are questioning his sanity.
Doverwatch is saying much the same thing but in a more roundabout way.

Its in our constitution that Parliament CANNOT bind the hands of its successors at least it was last time I looked ! Wouldnt put anything past these tyrants mind you.
Old Holborn has the dirt on Patrick Foster, the Times hack who outed the winner of the Orwell Blog Prize
HERE
Enshrining labour values in law? Well if that is not stalinism, I don’t know what is.
So they want to enforce people to lie, cheat, steal and commit fraud? Not to mention turning a blind eye to torture whilst committing war crimes in pursuit of an objective?
CRAZY INSANE PEOPLE.
Obviously Alistair Campbell will not want to see clinical mental disorders being automatically a bar on high office. If that were the case, Labour would never be able to form a Government. Blair has serious mental disorders, from a sever inferiority complex through delusions and flights of fantasy to a messianic complex.
Brown is clinically incapable of being honest. He is a compulsive lair, and has serious anger issues.
I think that lunatics such as these should be locked up for all our safety’s sake.
Campbell would say that wouldn’t he? He is as daft as a duck [and a crafty bastard too]. He wouldn’t know the truth if it bit his arse – neither would the rest of the Labour plonkers.
Churchill’s volumes of writing reveal a stranger to insanity.
As we see yet again today, this time in the Times, the same certainly can’t be said of Bonkers Brown!
Churchill wasn’t sectioned.
I think there’s a difference between pychosis and eccentric. Churchill was eccentric enough to believe we could win against the might of the German military. I dare say scotch helped but thank God he believed it. On Brown; what sort of person at that age keeps reflecting to his dad for guidance, chews his nails and thinks nothing of eating nasal discharge live on tv in the HOC? Not to mention his policies and aims. The guy is a fruit loop
it is difficult to take anything alistair campbell says seriously because although he has little insight he patently presents as a manic depressive sociopath.
the problem with alistair is that he was beaten as a child but he was simply not beaten hard enough: his father must have been a pansy.
but let us, for a moment, humour alistair’s proposal.
should an MP be allowed to remain in office if they are detained under a section of the Mental Health Act 1983.
people can be detained under the act if they need to be assessed and detained for treatment because they are a danger to themselves or others.
for alistair to argue that such a person should remain an MP perfectly illustrates what a lunatic he is. he is completely deluded.
if an MP is a danger to themselves or others then ofcourse they can’t carry out their duties; they might stab up a constituent during a meeting for fucks sake, or they may stab up fellow MPs…. hold on hmmm, not so bad, eh?
the question is what should happen to the seat of a sectioned MP?
should it be held open for them until they become well again? if they are on a section 3 that would mean their constituents would be withount and MP for six months, which would not be acceptable.
the sectioned MP would have to resign.
Clearly the Mental Health Act 1983 should be extended to right wing political bloggers who persistently spout hate bile and anti socialist propaganda against a Government and Prime Minister who is simply doing his best in exceptionally difficult times. A 28 day lay down at a Mental Health facility would clearly do many who frequent this site a world of good and the worst cases could be admitted long term for re education and an adjustment made to their sense of decency and common purpose
you have really let yourself down charles.
you are referring to a section 2, 28 day detention.
medication may take atleast two weeks to kick in and then the patient would have another 13 days respite before resuming their parliamentary duties.
I fear you are putting party politics above the the patient’s treatment.
you sick bastard.
if someone is sectioned they will need to have exhibited behaviour that has disturbed their family or friends or a member of the public and then drawn the attention of the mental health authorities by referral or emergency admission.
if you are suggesting they will be right as rain and able to carry out a thoroughly taxing occupation less than four weeks after displaying symptoms all I can say is: fuck off c’unt.
even if they were forced to return to work by a wanker like gordon brown their mental health would almost certainly deteriorate rapidly due to the pressures and demands of working for a failied government under an unreasonable leadership.
Charles, you should be locked up, you mad C U N T. That’s my medical opinion. Nurse, the straps please.
No, but Brown and his cronies should be to save us poor souls from their lunacy.
Ivor Biggun says:
June 16, 2009 at 5:37 pm
You sir do not know your history but I do respect your right to say what you have in open forum . The issue is of course Winston was the best PM we ever had. FACT
WHY?
He had honour, intergity and respected this land….. our land…. as free and even in the darkest days of 1940 never was so much owed by so many to so few (I include all those in the Merchant Navy, army navy etc)
Think Ivor, cast all political parties aside…. all of them! Please just really stop and think?
The very fact that you could write what you just did was why??????
answer = ?
Rule Britania
(which government removed her from our coinage?)
Ans = LABOUR!!!
And don’t forget the removal of Elgar from the £20 note.
That was pure vindictiveness & anti English racism from Mcmental & his homo erotic gangbang of a headbanging Government.
Labour are not the opposite end of the political democratic spectrum to me – they are the enemy.
Dissolve Parliament.
I can see what you are getting at but just because someone is detained under the mental health act, doesn’t mean that they immediately are incapable of doing their job. There is such a stigma attached to any mental health problem, anything which stops automatically assuming ‘mental health problem’ = useless can only be a good thing. It may be the first time I’ve said this, but I agree with Mr Campbell
churchill as chancelor oversaw the return to the gold standard[1924].this in turn lead to the general strike[1926] ffs he told my grandad & his whippet to eat grass we ate all his racing pigeons too sorry susie
Found this clip, watch and weep at Gordon’s reply from a recent question on gold in Prime Ministers Questions.
He says that everyone did it at the same time, around the world.
Doesn’t economics 101 say that if lots of people are selling something at the same time, the price will fall – even more so if the buyers know there’s about to be a glut on the market because the stupid fuckwit announced it in advance..?
But in the clip Gordon says we made money from the Euro. Has he been looking at what it’s done since his devaluation and Quantitative easing of the Pound, it’s been going down from 1.4Euros/Pound to 1.1Euros/Pound – less Euros for our money.
So he’ll say look at the Pound vs Dollar, it’s 1.6. Forgot to mention that the Dollar is bad against other currencies too which is the ONLY reason the Pound looks like it’s doing well against the Dollar.
What an a-hole.
LESSON NO.1
Gordon, you sold gold at a twenty-year price nadir.
Like a one-eyed Lemming.
This is not the effect of some kind of jinx, just plain fucking stupidity.
The opportunity-cost of this monolithic fuck-up has been appreciation in the value of £8.3 Billion!
To put this into context, this amount equates to the entire tax revenues of a million workers earning the average salary.
FFS!
While this amount is clearly paltry compared the vast sums of cash you have been waving at the clearing banks recently in blind panic, it is more than ten times what Nick Leeson lost when he was trusted too much with other people’s money.
Leeson got a nice long stretch in Changi Prison.
LESSON NO.2
When the value of the Euro rises, this means the value of the pound has fallen. You dip-shit.
Claiming that the Treasury made a consolatory profit on buying Euros actually means that every man woman and child has seen their own wealth (measured internationally) fall the corresponding fraction. You dip-shit.
@ 117,
“To put this into context, this amount equates to the entire tax revenues of a million workers earning the average salary.”
—————————————————————
So THAT accounts for the million votes for the BNP then ;)
I’ve a cunning plan. Why doesn’t HM Treasury sell some of the $247 billion (April 2008 figures) of US Treasuries that it holds and buy some more gold. The yellow metal looks like it could reduce in price substantially soon.
sorry, meant to provide a clicky:
http://www.treas.gov/tic/mfh.txt
Gordo says he bought Euros which have gone up in value … not against gold they haven’t, they halved in value against gold in the last five years. More correctly the value of the Euro has fallen, but the value of Stirling has plummeted.
Yes and don’t I bloody know it!
Pensions paid in GBP transferred to Euroland , just to live, = 30% fall in my REAL income.
“Gordo says he bought Euros which have gone up in value”
Which it would do if some maniac Chancellor of the Exchequer on an island not far from France used its gold reserves to support the price.
Stirling has plummeted? Was this on the news? Scotland must be in shock.
203 Call me an Infidel
Whew, that’s a relief: I thought he was talking about Stirling Moss.
Absolutely, If they’d bought gold in 1997 the govt finances today would look rather different.
I’m paid in dolllars so done well in the last year but the pound is coming back, if slowly…
of course the banks agreed with him…. THEY WERE THE BENEFICIARIES WHO BOUGHT AT A STUPIDLY LOW PRICE!!!
If I was to sell my house to a banker for £50.00, that banker would LOVE me. My own bank would be horrified!
Clearly Brown demonstrated right there the absolute inability to do his job.
On the Subject of Fat people.
Doesn’t Guido look very like NightJack / Richard Horton?
Ally Campbell was bonkers for awhile pre 1997 in the looney bin does Ally fancy standing as an MP and want to change the rules in his favour so he can??
Why is Alying Campbell being quoted ??
He’s another lying CLINT whose judgement is highly questionable; after all he counts Bliar and Handlesman as friends. ‘Nuff said.
Ah yes the great Nightjack courtcase brought by the Times of feckin London. These hypocritical bastards have fought to expose a man who was doing much good exposing the fuckwittery in the Police Service , which for obvious reasons required his anonimity. Yet The feckin Times decided to blow his cover DESPITE the fucking fact that many Journalists write under false names themselves notwithstanding the fact that these journ c unts make such a virtue of “Protecting their sources”. Fuckin hypocrites who appear to be waging war on Bloggers.
I feel a principled botcott coming on.
The Thunderer running scared of a one-man blog. Who’d have ever thought it?
A culture of stomping on whistle-blowers + Justice Eady (father of libel tourism) + an envious hack determined to fill column inches = l’affaire NightJack
No just financially incompetent – not a bad qualification for a chancellor is it? And this man went on to become PM!!!!
i ask a serious question here , was lady thatchers goverment as bad as this with spinning ?
No! No government in living memory has been as bad as this one.
More important Freddie- who’se going to win the 20-20 cricket – South Africa or Sri Lanka???
south africa better batting , cheers i am so sick of spin i am going to vote at next genral election
As I keep telling my errant older children – you don’t have the right to complain if you don’t vote.
i voted in the euros, got into politics after iraq
When our pain is felt I just wonder if the slightly touched Parliamentry lobby fodder are willing to sacrifice a month’s pay or in the case of the cabinet and shadow cabinet three? It’s not uncommon now in the real world. And if anyone on a tax payer’s funded salary in excess of 12k can voluntarily renounce their final salary pension and make their own pension and savings arrangements?
Ok,
This is the public’s money. They should know how it is spent.
So Wee Jock McBroon the Barking can say this on the 10th June and then come the 15th June he tells us that his inquiry into Iraq (which he arranged the finance for) will be held in camera?
The trouble with the insane is that they drag you (the sane) down with them …
As I have stated before “It Is The State’s (thanks Ed) Money!”
Has anyone noticed that the brown broadcasting centre is no longer updating the MPs expenses page ?
Postle
guido can you doctor a picture of d Darling with Don Kings hair ? or that bloke proff M ick Brown from time team that would be insane ?
at the union conference that brown attended yesterday some bloke had to steer brown with both hands to the steps to get him on stage if he’s not mental then i’m Hardwidge’s Widge !
Did you know that one in four people in the UK will suffer from a mental health problem at some point in their lives. So about 115 of the 460 odd people that have commented on this will be affected.
I was unfortunate enough to witness my girlfriend go through some mental health problems in the last year. She has now thankfully made an almost full recovery and is back at work.
The stigma attached to mental health problems makes it difficult for people to adjust during their recovery. Support in the workplace is essential and it would be helpful if people accepted that mental health problems exist and that you can recover from them.
I’d encourage you all to look at the time for change website. http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/
Incidently the law that they are trying to change requires an MP to have been sectioned for 6 months before they can be removed – this has never happened so the change would simply be a symbolic gesture of much needed support.
And to answer your question, yes today Churchill would have been deemed to have been suffered from mental health problems and many people from all walks of life (even doctors) live with mental health issues.
Time to change your attitude.
Alcoholism is classed as a mental illness, so it’s no wonder that Campbell has proposed this. Is he looking to return as an MP?
does that logic extend to drink sodden bloggers?
Watch this space
oops sorry Arry didn’t see you had already made the point, apologies.
No problem.
Glad to see someone else is watching these nutters like a hawk too!
Or should that be like a Psychiatric Nurse.
Only BNP, nutters and pissheads would support Burnley.
Instead, how about any MP on the fiddle is declared as unfit for purpose and is recycled for compost? Now, that is a green agenda.
soylent green agenda
Would not be surprising. Brown clearly has no idea of how to campaign or run a party, so his logic says to bring back the people who made Blair victorious – Campbell and Mandelson.
Alistair Campbell never has been an MP!
Did anyone read the whole thing? As they must all be slightly unhinged, perhaps they can stay forever?
So much for the next election.
Out of interest who was the last MP to be certified as insane?
Who would be debarred from sitting in the current Parliament, perhaps Alistair Campbell ought to publish and be damned.
How far Brown ticks all the boxes for Bi-polar disorders is a moot point, but there is a useful review of symptoms in David Owen’s recent book.
I’ve just read about Labour’s new policies for the new Digital Age and I think they are perfect. I think they hit a few nails on the head about the direction Labour are taking our country. As Steve Jobs faced a declining market for the Apple Macintosh and Apple’s own next generation Operating System, Rhapsody, was stuck in development hell, so the Prime Minister’s vision and bringing in the best of the best are set to create the OS X of government policy. How can the Tories Windows and Liberal’s Linux compete? Answer: they can’t. You have cool, or you don’t.
You’re kind of implying that the government should ditch itself completely and re-emerge as a totally new entity; one that would fight hard for slightly less than 10% of the home computer marketplace.
Actually he has something. Apple’s share of the computer market = +/- 9 to 11%. Labour’s share of the vote is now around 12% and dropping faster than a Zimbabwe billion dollar whore’s knickers.
See? Thinks Labour’s Cool = Bonkers.
OS X is actually BSD with a crappy user interface. Has nursey not given you your pills?
I am an expert in Graphics Fidelity and know considerably much more about the subject of technology as well as the moral, political religious and ethical issues arising from that technology. Therefore I can say with authority that Labour are doing an excellent job of keeping innovation and skills at the heart of British business.
You’re bonkers.
I’m a graphics fidelity expert, a keen photographer, a Zen Buddhist and a Sunday Times inventor of the year!
Relax. Be happy. Vote Labour.
ha ha ha
No you’re not. I’m the real Charles E Hardwidge. You’re an imposter.
I don’t believe you Charles. Sunday times what??? prove it.
Don’t listen to me, I’m a delusional shithead
Pile of stinking horse crap! What an utter Div!!!
dear Charles e smalldinky subject to your claim that labour are great for technology then why did two jags/bellies/birds take control of the licence approvals that cable companies needed to install fibre optic cables away from local authorities.
was this the price to get Murdoch on board re the Suns promotion of new labour in 97 as his satelite service was greatly advanaged for 12 years of no competition almost a complete monopoly in many areas.
we would all be receiving 10mbs allready had nosher not done this little deal
I have the plans for running a multi billion pound business in place ready to go just as soon as socilaism is destroyed in this nation and this includes spatial graphics btw. Now go, you’re costing me time and profit.
Lao Tsu: Tao Te Ching, trans. Legge
“Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing (of
humility), and manifests it to all the world. He is free from self-
display, and therefore he shines; from self-assertion, and therefore
he is distinguished; from self-boasting, and therefore his merit is
acknowledged; from self-complacency, and therefore he acquires
superiority. It is because he is thus free from striving that
therefore no one in the world is able to strive with him.”
Something to bear in mind Charles Hardwidge.
43: you are just a fucking gobshite.
What is ‘Graphics Fidelity’? Is it something where you DON’T do a Reuters and play silly buggers with graphics?
If you were a real game developer you sure as s**t would not be talking about ‘Graphics Fidelity’, you would use the correct terminology. Saying ‘Graphics Fidelity’ is like saying that you ‘design pages for the information superhighway’ instead of saying that you are a webdesigner.
In that case you will know that the next big thing is nano-graphics running on a quantum platform. Go and invest heavily in that.
It is an exact simile of labour’s popular and clever policies. nano=the size of atoms, quantum = in an alternative reality!
Bollock’s
bt sky talktalkall unaware of the tax! very joined up. tossers
“Bollock’s” (sic.)
If you mean to imply more than one bollock, the grammatically correct word is “Bollocks” (Note: NO apostrophe).
If, on the other hand, you are referring to something a bollock possesses, which the apostrophe you have used indicates, you are missing the description, or name, of that which your bollock owns.
… or it could be a contraction of ‘bollock is’ – in which case I feel we need to be told what exactly bollock is.
Hoop de loop!
NuLabour tax the phone lines of businesses and homes so that the chavs get 100mb internet, capable of delivering High Definition porn straight to their wanking dens. Very sensible, Charles, and no doubt you’ll be first in line.
Porn at even faster speeds, great !!!! Did you hear that, Lardarse ????
Charles would only be first in line if Richard Timney broke his leg trying to climb the garden gate, in the rush to get there.
Rant approaching…
I’m a natural Tory (with Ukip leanings) and I’m insulted that you conflate me with Windoze in any way – Micro$haft are almost as evil as NuLiebor.
I’m a Linux guy myself; something of a hacker even (as in white-hat, not the same as cracker which is what you probably think hacker means). Linux is about freedom; freedom is very much a Tory thing (well, maybe more libertarian but that’s practically the same thing in most cases). OS X is about appearance over substance – perfect for ZaNu Labour. Windoze is about ripping people off.
As for their digitalisation policies – digital broadcasting is a stupid idea because digitally compressed audio (such as used in the DAB system, obsolete before it was introduced) has far worse audio quality than analogue. Plus it doesn’t degrade gracefully.
Also the gubbiment keep turning a blind eye to ISPs traffic-shaping even though that should lose them common-carrier status. Then again, the Tories foolishly say that ISPs should pro-actively hunt down copyright infringers rather than leaving it to “content providers” (they really said that, it’s in Hansard) – which would certainly be the end of CC status. Both sides make the mistake of thinking piracy is an issue for “the creative talent of this country” (some Liebour MP, Hansard) – when really it’s only an issue for those corporations that exploit creative talent. Why else is the ‘Creative Commons’ project so successful?
Could you rant that in English please for those of us that still blunder through the world of technology with their gobs open?
Sound and Fury said:
“……….the Tories foolishly say that ISPs should pro-actively hunt down copyright infringers rather than leaving it to “content providers” (they really said that, it’s in Hansard) – which would certainly be the end of CC status.”
If the Tories did say that they are equally foolish.
To hunt down pirates and hackers here whilst our economic rivals do not will have only one result – our rivals will use “free” pirated software – we will pay for it – an economic handicap we can ill afford when the economy is in such a mess.
Unfortunate but true………….
The French know this – thats why they dropped their proposed anti-piracy law.
Actually, my mistake – having re-read the debate in Hansard, it seems that it was the Secretary of State for CMS who said it, not a Tory at all.
Anyway, whoever said it, it is indeed foolish as you so correctly argue.
I wish you well, you’re obviously very bright. Website is good. Good luck with your ambitions.
Bill Gates is as far as I am aware a democrat…Zanu’s North American cousins.

\”As for their digitalisation policies – digital broadcasting is a stupid idea because digitally compressed audio (such as used in the DAB system, obsolete before it was introduced) has far worse audio quality than analogue. Plus it doesn’t degrade gracefully.\”
Sorry S&F,but just for the record \’digitalisation\’ is a medical treatment using digitalis..the word you meant to use is \’digitisation\’.
As for DAB and DVB broadcasting not \’degrading gracefully\’ that is one of the original concepts of the technology. Graceful degradation is the term used to describe a picture or sound either being watchable ( or listenable) without interference.It is either free from interference (or poor signal) artifacts or doesn\’t display at all..considered to be better than having to put up with unwatchable pictures (in the case of DVB) due to deteriorating or fluctuating signals.
OK?
I’d have to disagree – graceful degradation is where, as long as there is enough signal to reconstruct a recognisable image, that image will be reconstructed. In other words, if you can’t show a clean image, show a noisy one – it’s better than nothing. You can’t do that with DAB, nor with most (if not all) digital systems.
Thanks for the linguistic correction – much appreciated.
OS X?
Copied from another philosophy, gimmicky, obsessed with image, expensive, unreliable, incompatible with the real world?
DAB?
Digital progress that sounds appreciably worse than the old technology, enabling the airwaves to be filled with absolutely shite commercial stations? Big thumbs up!
There’s a big difference between those people behind Apple and New Labour.
Apple have said they learn from Hackers modding their software.
New Labour are anti-piracy and anti-hacker.
You may not approve of hacking/modding or piracy but those self same Laws will be used to turn the inter-net into an extension of the New Labour Police State.
I wonder why the Govt. haven’t taken action over BT illegal tapping/spying on its customers whilst trialling “Phorm”.
Perhaps they’ve had a few donations to New Labour, and the promise of more to come when the Broadband roll-out occurs. Or perhaps there’s an information share agreement.
Incidentally, if we had any sense we’d stop persecuting hackers and start recruiting them.
India and Pakistan have been in a state of cyberwar for a number of years now, and both sides are extremely good at what they do.
China has been spying on BT subscribers and most British institutions for a number of years.
Gordon Brown’s Govt. wants to extradite one of the best Hackers in the country to the US. The man might be Autistic but he is good enough at hacking systems to get through the best defences the US has come up with.
Give the man a job.
Don’t feed him to the US, who will probably recruit him and use him against us.
hear hear!!!
People who keep telling everyone that they are an expert are doing it because they need to convince themselves that the world believes that of them , when in fact the world knows them for the fraud that they are.
Sad!!!!
Ex – the unknown quantity, Spurt – a drip under pressure.
is that you howard?
Having taken note so many times I have concluded that he is as useless as tits on a boar hog – no offense impled.
Can this be linked ?
Oh, I get it….. All Charles’ previous postings are just bollocks as anyone can type the labour.org.uk site into the right field and stir up some shite…
Let him die a death and leave us be FFS
A sure cure for Broon’s ills, and ours, is the use of a stun gun between his ears.
‘K’all to stun there mate…
Surely if you are going for his brains, you need to stick the stun gun down the back of his troosers?
His “brain” is situated in the head of Lord Fondlebum; McDoom is but a husk (albeit one that would benefit from your suggestion).
First off, you are going to upset a lot of people with your “mental illness = bonkers” attitude Guido.
Having said that, sound mental health should really be a requirement for leadership of any party other than the monster raving loony party.
Put it another way , I would not work for a Nokia chucking, printer flinging arsehole and see no reason why politicians should have to either.
Whatever happened to the monster raving loony party anyway? I was rather tempted to vote for them in the Euro elections and were gutted when I found they weren’t standing.
it’s a five grand deposit in the euro elections
we’re loonies but we’re not THAT fucking looney…
At least one MRLP candidate did stand in the recent Euro elections and got more votes than the Labour candidate!
Forget where this happened but I read a news report with pix of the Loony.
The Monster Raving Loony Party has been subsumed into a group of ‘key workers’ headed by Charles E.Halfwitted, thickos and thieves and Madster Baiter. Alying Campbell will presumably be ennobled and will take up a seat in Mr. Brhoon’s government of all the tossers asap.
Heard on the radio today that Lord Sutch hanged himself in 1999. I never knew that.
RIP Lord Sutch. May the loonyness be with you.
as an aside I understand that the census, every 10 years will need another addition.
Apparently if more the 50K people put the same answer then it must be included in the next census???
Religion?
Jedi
sad but I do believe true (bonkers or what?)
i thought this lot were the loony party
It could very well be argued, that the lunatics have already taken over the assylum.
To give you an idea of how bonkers Brown is, you just hav to look at the idiotic Calman Commission on Scotland, undr themental ones guidance, its recomended that Scotland should be happy at just keeping half of all its income tax. But if Scotland wants to raise more revenue, it can raise a tax on plastic bags (I kid you not!). Probably this is to prevent Scots form getting plastic bags and trying to wrap Brown’s head in one!
Not only will no MP ever be kicked out for being nuts, no MP has been done for being a fraudster. So the situation of kicking out an MP in such a predicament is ‘ollocks.
Nonsense; Google Horatio Bottomley.
no thanks I\’m straight you know
This comment by Campbell suggests to me that he’s taking the “Save Gordon” campaign to the next level…
Basement?
Mr Campbell must be completely barking to suggest something like this.
It must be murder living like that.
Alistair Campbell thinks???????????????
It isn’t doing the trick though Alistair, engage brain before mouth laddie.
mr. campbell is barking – and has been for a very long time.
woof woof
GORDON BROWN IN THE TIMES TODAY
“Whether it is to work online, study, learn new skills, pay bills or simply stay in touch with friends and family, a fast internet connection is now seen by most of the public as an essential service, as indispensable as electricity, gas and water.”
LORD CARTER (THE PMS COMMUNICATIONS) ADVISER IN THE TIMES TODAY
A £6 a year tax on every phone line in the country
You have to use it. Its as essential as water …..so let’s tax it! New Labour lives
And they are only aiming for 2meg! Typical NuLiebour – a lot of noise with no substance – and then miss the target anyway – and all at enormous cost no doubt, which will be ours to enjoy along with all of the other eye-watering debt heading our way.
What a total shower of sh*t.
“a fast internet connection is now seen by most of the public as an essential service”
Just ask Richard Timmey.
Is that £6 before or after VAT? A tax on a tax. It’s SO New Labour.
vat will almost certainly be paid on the levy, as per fuel duty
VAT’ll be fine then, more great public services (PS can I pay double?)
Haven’t we heard all this ages before from good ‘ole Teflon Tony, the whole “broadband in every home” line ?
Typical McMental. Another re-announcement. FFS
They have had 12 years to organise a proper broadband network. Why should it now become so important now when, all along, they have ignored it?
I think I sense yet another attempt to divert our attention from the more unsavoury aspects of this loathesome and mendacious government.
And I’m sick of hearing about Campbell’s mental illness – it’s all part of the ‘I’m a victim’ syndrome. As someone who has suffered from this I never felt the need to blab it all over the media – I just got on with it.
He’s going for the chav vote. They want High Definition internet porn.
A friend that works for BT informed me that BT has done everything it can to stop rivals having access to the exchanges.
Idea being that BT will always be first in the area to roll out Broad Band.
He is, and always has been,as mad as a cut snake.
This has nothing to do with Broadband.
It is a new tax, introduced at a low level to ensure minimum opposition, and to be increased with each budget as a revenue raiser.
It will fill a hole in the Government coffers and eventually be used to fund the BBC whether we like it or not.
Like a lot of Labour taxes it attacks those on the lowest salaries for whom it will represent the larger proportion of their income.
”
It will not affect “Tory Toffs” and it will not affect MPs who will claim it on expenses.
It is a typical Labour confidence trick and deserves to be treated with contempt.
I would also like to know how much it will cost to collect. The money collected will be much like road fund license. Fuck all spent on roads and the majority going to job dodgers and wastrels.
What is a ‘Tory toff’ ?; The envious situation Labour politicians aspired
to – having reached and surpassed that goal – DO NOT NOW KNOW THOSE
THEY PRETEND TO REPRESENT………KINNOCK, PRESCOTT, BLAIR –
- They are bereft of shame.
The digital report it says…
“[30] The Government believes the fairest and most efficient means of ensuring that the overwhelming majority of the country has access to next
generation broadband is to share some of that SAVING and create an
independent Next Generation Fund, based on a supplement of 50 pence per
month on all fixed copper lines.”
The SAVING being the savings made in both wholesale prices for today’s copper-network and the retail price for combined voice and broadband driven primarily as a result of increased [free market] competition particularly the land line market.
The Government’s argument is completely disingenuous as it assumes people can put aside the telephone savings to pay the tax. In reality retail inflation on household necessities like food has more than swallowed the telephone savings. People just end up paying more tax.
They’ll be slapping a tax on windows next.
Bite your tongue!! Gordon will hear you!!.
William III brought in a window tax in 1696 to cope with an inflationary financial crisis caused by the cost of military engagement in Ireland and on the continent. We didn’t get rid of it until 1851. 150 years or so!!!
People bricked up windows to avoid paying the tax!!!!
There used to be a tax on ground floor space and that is why old buildings, cottages, shops, etc have a larger ‘upstairs’ which often hang over above and into the street.
Thanks I didn’t know that.
The builder’s starting tomorrow.
i wish someone would brick up one blank brown
YOU TAXED US ON WINDOWS IN THE THE 1700′S – WHAt’S NEW ?
WHAT MORE DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET RID OF THIS BUNCH OF FUCKING HOONS???
GRRRR. Beer O’clock I think…
have one for me will you please
FFS Guido, the pouting Moron is getting on my t*ts – for pity’s sack ditch the prat.
Only if you press play 500,000 times. Margaux doesn’t grow on trees, does it? Oh…
What’s the betting that Guido’s just got his ISP hosting bill from the last couple of months?
That’s well beyond the call of duty. I don’t wish to join our barking MPs thanks very much.
Seriously Guido, I will buy a BK Flamer without delay (they are revolting and laced with raw onions, but my dog might like it) if you take Moron away.
But I WILL NOT play that video.
I watched it.
It wasn’t that bad.
I find him strangely attractive.
Crazyblonde, you are Celia Walden and I claim my ten pounds.
If not, you’re obviously Byrony Gordon playing a joke, in which case I claim my twenty pounds
Please remove

The Gorgon displays all the characteristics of someone who could at the least “do with some help”. As Chancellor he was a scheming, smear originator getting others to do his dirty work. Now he has been exposed for what he really is, a nasty piece of work, made all the worse as he is the PM! Ambulance for Drowning Strasse pronto.
Just read Tom Bower’s book to see how El Gordo has always been the same bullying twat as he is now – it’s just that his Hitler-like megalomania and twitching are the inevitable end to somebody with his character flaws.
Roll on the liberation of the UK from our Nazi Labour oppressors !!
V for Victory !
Why someone doesn’t just punch him in the gob, is beyond me.
Seconded.
Seconded too
I recommend ALL to read Tom Bower’s book. It will frighten you about the man who is now the PM. Don’t read at night-you will not sleep.
Does Brown sign autograph books? It’d make a fortune on ebay
How about the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, the Archibishop of Canterbury, the manage of my local Kwik-Fit? Should they be able to keep their jobs if they go round the twist?
The acid test is the power the lunatic is on a position to wield over others – so :
Met Police Commissioner – potentially a lot
+ Cantuar – not much
Kwik-Fit Manager – not at all
But my MP can?
Well the Arbip of Canterbury is definitely a looney if he believes all that “God made the world crap” and that an obscure Palestinian rabble rouser was the son of aforesaid God.
sorry to say this

Failure to prosecute Blair for his part in Iraq is a “powerful” way to lift the taboo around war crimes which exists in politics.

No chance.
Watch for President Blair of the European Union with Mandy as head of the Secret Police.
I see Mandy more as a Grand Vizier. He’d make a wicked Uncle Ebeneezer. Aye, wicked.
I must be living in a time warp! first they give the mentally ill the right to adopt health children. Then they arrange for a party leader who’s faculties have never been, at their best, to lead the country. Now they are looking at the possibility of assuring that what they call mentally ill are thrown out of parliament. Guido you are needed, barrels of powder and all, get rid of the lot before they get rid of all of us.
Firstly .. what the hell does it have to do with Alistair bloody Campbell .. an unelected “mouthpiece” and all-round Gobshite ?
Secondly, the rule concerning the mental health of MP’s was created for a very good reason, despite it having been ignored by many …
That Gordon Brown is mentally ill is beyond question .. the man is more to be pitied than laughed at and needs urgent medical treatment .. for his own sake and that of the Country ..
Campbell should keep his over-large mouth shut .. and get out & find himself a “proper” job …
If Campbell doesn’t get a peerage in the dissolution honours list then I’m a drunken, lunatic, lying bullying Scotsman.
Feel free to pity him all you like – but only after he’s been removed in a strait-jacket.
Most of the former asylums were closed just after 1997. Spooky coincidence
Now we know where they all ended up.
Guido your comments are a bit harsh. Though saying that I had hoped years back that they would cart Bliar off in a straight jacket. He was/is a deluded loon.

What about people who are liars as well as bullies as well as pornographers as well as alcoholics as well as depressives, Mr Campbell?
Find a hole to die in you turd.
To be fair (hardly a requirement on here) -
If an MP is suffering a bout of psychiatric illness which debilitates them for a period of time, then why shouldn’t they be allowed to continue? No different, surely, from an MP having a period away to fight cancer or other physical illness.
Curiously, I bumped into a former constituent today, with many, many years experience as a mental health nurse who was in no doubt that Brown has significant problems in that field.
Ye needn’t be a nurse to see the man’s deranged. He’s maaaaad, I tell ye, start raving maaaaad.
Sorry for double post haha

You’ve hit the politician, er sorry nail, on the head again Guido. Prisoners can’t vote and unbalanced politicians should be removed from positions of power and should not be allowed to pass Go.
And may I take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful blog which brings a ray of hope, some sanity, a chance for some serious political discussion (?) and not a little entertainment to your many viewers.
Seconded!
New Labour is working to save the world. Jeeeez where do they get their ideas from?
Labour will do anything to keep Brown in power.
At all lisbon costs
I seem to remember Campbell admitting he was no stranger to the men in white coats. He obviously feels empathy with Gormless.
I read somewhere that the definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
So that makes most of the electorate mad for keep voting in Labour.
Wibble wibble
I read somewhere that the definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

The rest keep voting Concervative and expect them to win
No: but we do expect them to attend lots of Concerts.
I have some sympathy for Campbell on this one. Sure, you wouldn’t let them vote while detained under the mental health act, but why do they need to lose their seats if it’s a temporary illness from which they recover?
You wouldn’t sack an MP because he had appendicitis, would you? Why should mental illness be any different? As #7 said, equating mental illness with being bonkers is not helpful.
Now, losing seats for being a bunch of troughing, fraudulent Hoons, that’s another matter…
If you’re unfortunate enough to have a local MP who starts frothing at the mouth and displaying the onset of mental illness along with Tory tendencies the cheapest, quickest and easiest option would be to simply have them put down and shot like a mad dog. This would save the public a fortune on the expense of a parliamentary ill health pension and their constituency a great deal of unnecessary embarrassment.
There is really no point in pussyfooting around shoot them and be done with.
Fucking Delicious!
One sure sign of the onset of madness is a certain blindness to irony. And Snotty lecturing Iran about democracy is surely such a moment.
It may not have been a strictly honest election, dear bonkers leader, but at least the country was allowed to have one.
I do not believe it!
Disgraceful comments from Guido
Depression doesn’t mean ‘you’re bonkers’.
So it’s OK to have a manic depressive with his finger on the nuclear Trigger then?
Or the national budget come to that?
No, but being bonkers means you’re bonkers!
Are they still entitled to expenses whilst wearing the jacket with the long arms that fastens up the back?
Can we not simply apply the laws of employment in general usage?
After 6 months no salary, go onto statutory sick pay, and after 12 months retired on health grounds?
Yes but to vermin like Campbell being a loony is small time, after all he was the bag man to a blood soaked Hoon/liar/criminal.
As long as the war criminal/loony/fiscal Hoon, is Labour it’s all good to vermin like Campbell.
I imagine Campbell and Draper are perfect examples of people who are completely unqualified to speak as representatives for the mental health bodies of the UK. I once had appendicitis – I also had my tonsils removed – I do not feel uniquely qualified nor compelled to trawl media outlets as a spokeseperson for other sufferers.
Campbell knows he is reviled (apart from amongst the undiscerning starstruck Jon Snow and other media luvvies and press groupies of the undead) – especially after the death of Dr. David Kelly – presumably he feels that he can ingratiate himself with the public if he can arouse pity. Failed.
What a disgusting specimen. People like Campbell, Draper, McBride and Brown are simply malevolent. People who sit around dreaming up smears an lies and spinning operations against detractors – attempting to destroy another persons credibility, are amoral and repulsive and deserve to be sectioned but in a prison type section – nothing to do with mental health.
In the words of Terry Pratchett…

BUNKERS BONKERS BANKERS !!
i’m f&cking mad with this lot of shit we have governing us………. forget the madness of our MP’s what about the effect it is having on us.
I AM MAD
Guido, this post is not up to your usual standard. Mental illness is not the same thing as “bonkers”.
If an MP suffers from a mental illness which is successfully treated, why shouldn’t they keep their seat? Would you also want to sack any MP who got pneumonia?
There are enough good reasons to sack so many of our MPs without needing to dredge up spurious reasons.
If my MP gets pneumonia it unlikely to affect me.
If he’s stark raving mad then it is bound to affect me and everyone else.
Lock the bastard up.
It’s not depression Guido is on about, it’s about being detained under the Mental Health Act.
You can be detained under the Mental Health Act if you are a danger to yourself (suicide).
In Winky’s case, just let him top himself…… please.
Aren’t most Labour MPs stark raving bonkers anyway?

McMental is getting on with the job of steering us all through this ward crisis
It started on ward USA but ward UK is best placed to blah blah blah lift children out of poverty and hand out nice milky tea and biscuits.
We need a Lee Harvey Oswald NOW
Those Americans know how to deal with a kunt politician and we should learn from them.
No, you really don’t need a Lee Harvey Oswald. He was just a bungling incompetent who got caught.
JFK was a kunt, arsehole? A WWII decorated hero. You’re one piece of shit mate. Kennedy was murdered because he went up against the big guys, and no it wasn’t Oswald. Try looking up his opposition to a certain country obtaining nuclear bombs or his use of executive order to have the United States print its own money again.
JFK was a hoon of the highest order. He had a good teacher – his dad the mobster.
If you are referring to Cuba, the missiles were already there.
Kennedy should never have been allowed to become President, he suffered from Addison’s Disease that was covered up by a number of “bent” doctors. If it had been know that he suffered from Addison’s Disease he could not have become President – as it was they invented a new condition (Adrenal Burnout Syndrome) and said that he suffered from that instead
“Characteristics of the disease are
* chronic, worsening fatigue
* muscle weakness
* loss of appetite
* weight loss
About 50 percent of the time, one will notice
* nausea
* vomiting
* diarrhea
Other symptoms include
* low blood pressure that falls further when standing, causing dizziness or fainting
* skin changes in Addison’s disease, with areas of hyperpigmentation, or dark tanning, covering exposed and nonexposed parts of the body; this darkening of the skin is most visible on scars; skin folds; pressure points such as the elbows, knees, knuckles, and toes; lips; and mucous membranes
Addison’s disease can cause irritability and depression. Because of salt loss, a craving for salty foods also is common. Hypoglycemia, or low blood glucose, is more severe in children than in adults. In women, menstrual periods may become irregular or stop.
Because the symptoms progress slowly, they are usually ignored until a stressful event like an illness or an accident causes them to become worse. This is called an addisonian crisis, or acute adrenal insufficiency. In most cases, symptoms are severe enough that patients seek medical treatment before a crisis occurs. However, in about 25 percent of patients, symptoms first appear during an addisonian crisis.
Symptoms of an addisonian crisis include
* sudden penetrating pain in the lower back, abdomen, or legs
* severe vomiting and diarrhea
* dehydration
* low blood pressure
* loss of consciousness
Left untreated, an addisonian crisis can be fatal.”

As a Thatcher teen I wish that I’d had free access to top level wanking material.
Do these Hoons really think that the kyeshas and Ryans are going to use their puters for anything else?
Easiest place to purchase drugs is inside prisons, how? But it has the same effect at keeping people in a stupor
Surely it would be safer to allow MPs to keep their jobs if it means they seek help for their illnesses, rather than having them deny their conditions and continue in their roles without any support. More openness and understanding is necessary for the safety of the country.
Another symptom of madness – delusions of grandeur. Snotty today, commenting on Digital Britain report:
“Britain is going to lead the world. This is us taking the next step into the future to being the digital capital of the world.”
Er, South Korea, Japan, Sweden, Norway already have as standard 50 – 100mb speeds, leaving the UK trailing way behind. Snotty’s big masterplan? a minimum of 2mb….the equivelant of using roller skates while the rest of the developed world drive ferraris.
Yes there will be much faster speeds here, and there already are. But we certainly won’t be “leading the world”.
It’s just over-egging to make us swallow the phone tax.
what about other jobs? should civil servants lose their jobs too if mentally ill?
You betcha. In fact, let’s get rid of them anyway.
Brown bonkers? And there is me thinking that saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth was to lubricate his snot eating.
Politics and psychiatric illness is a dangerous mixture.
The communists regarded anyone who disagreed with them as being mentally ill and forcibly removed them to psychiatric institutes where drug treatments made them mentally ill.
It is too easy for politicians to brand their political opponents as being “mentally ill”.
Furthermore it’s a common ploy – at least for this government – that’s precisely what McBride was suggesting about the wife of an opposition member in his proposed smear campaign – wasn’t it?
Just preparing the next election strategy.
Only a lunatic would want to take control of the economy after the next election,thereby making Brown the best man for the job.
How could you tell if an MP were mad? In what way would a mad MP’s behaviour stand out?
Careful, Spike Milligan’s theories on gun law were sound and he was sane – he had the certificate to prove it.
For his gun, presumably.
Sorry to be literal; for his sanity. There’s bonkers and bonkers y’see. Brown IS bonkers. No question. Milligan was insane, a savant perhaps, but he knew how not to act like a prat. Brown IS a prat. AND he’s bonkers. That’s toxic.
Some shrink could sign Milligan off as sane, because he was. He just had a highly developed sense of the ludicrous. Brown IS ludicrous. He could not ever see just how ludicrous he is. He is dangerous to others, but not to himself. Rather like Hitler and Stalin, neither of whose ideas were sane, but who appeared sane to the shrinks.
I quite like eccenttricity and a sense of the ludicrous in MP’s. In the modern party whip system this is considered dangerous to the parties. They are individuals and therefore cannot be counted on to be ‘on message’. Good.
Anyway, sanity is a spectrum. We are all somewhere along the scale between sane and insane and when that scale is read off by ‘experts’ it cannot ever be a fixed measurement.
Guido as Irish, should appreciate more tha anybody the very small gap between a highly developed sense of the ludicrous and the appearance to others, not so blessed, of insanity.
Brown is bonkers. Not by the standard psychiatric measures perhaps, but by his megolomaniac and vindictive tendencies. He has a pathological loathing of Tories that colours all his actions. All actions he takes as PM, that should be in all our interests as citizens, are only ever considered in terms of ‘how can this disadvantage the Tories?’ This is no way to run a country. The fact that he has been unable to move on from this pre-government mindset and rise into the big job of PM shows his inadequacies. That he persists with policies, in the face of all the evidence that show they do not work, shows a streak of blind stubborness that I for one think is bonkers.
The internal conflicts may send him over the edge, but I doubt it. He has too much simple bovine stupidity to see how ludicrous he has become. Some people hold that Thatcher had no real sense of homour and I’d endorse that, but Brown has even less. He cannot laugh at himself. Thatcher occasionally could.
Excellent analysis.
Seconded. What keeps people in psych hospitals a very long time is “lack of insight”.
Brown has no insight. If he was sectioned he would never persuade the Mental Health Review Tribunal to discharge him.
Mentalist (and gingerist, for that matter) is the new racist.
Gordon used to like me sitting on his face.
Over the last 12 years pensioners have done well out of our growing economy. The challenge now, while still providing for today’s pensioners, will be to encourage and reward saving for all people to ensure greater well-being in later life. Today’s pensioners are better off than any previous generation – for the first time, in a period of sustained economic growth, pensioners are less likely to be poor than people of working age. We also have to deliver for the millions of people who care for elderly or disabled relatives, so that they can manage financially and balance the responsibilities of work and caring. Vote Labour.
I am the real Charles_E_Hardwidge! And if you don’t stop impersonating me I will telephone the police again!
Gordon Brown has tremendous focus and awareness of the big picture. Going forward, developing practicality and social friendliness will help round the man out. If he could laugh a little more and shrug off anxieties that would be a real personal benefit and set a good lead for the country.
Looking at people, communities and organisations, and nations states, we see the headline and body text, or the main campaign versus the million small details. While the big headline grabs attention the small details on the edge of conscious perception help shape communication, influencing our response, character development, and people around us in turn. As headlines scream panic, notice how Gordon Brown said everything will be fine. Indeed, it will be, but I can’t help wondering how much influence the almost fatherly Sergeant-Major tone of Gordon Brown has contributed to this.
In the same way many people consider Ieyasu Tokugawa is the father of Japan, looking at reports of the recent floods and how people have rediscovered their own sense of determination and solidarity in the face of danger, I can’t help wondering if Gordon Browns policies and character will form a similar and equally long-lived foundation. Other precedent exists in the form of George Washington, Gaius Julius Caesar, and Qin Shi Huang. Indeed, it could be said that Gordon Brown is the father of a reinvigorated modern government.
Often, we walk around with our eyes shut, not noticing what’s going on around us. Thinking back, my brother took a supporting role in the miners strike and witnessed first hand the snatch squads of the police in operation. A friend took part in the journalists strike at a Maxwell property where food baskets were carried up on ropes to the striking workers. I’ve had my own brushes with history but nothing important or worth boasting about. Looking back to the times of ancient China, with its myths of sages who could split mountains and part seas, and the period around the time of Rome’s formation when the world was choked with greats, I wonder how today will be viewed in a 1000 years time.
If you wish to be immortal, first, you must live a life worth living.
– Chinese proverb.
Charles, I’m begging you: get some therapy.
“Gordon Brown has tremendous focus…” With one eye? Don’t think so.
“I can’t help wondering how much influence the almost fatherly Sergeant-Major tone of Gordon Brown has contributed to this”
Hilarious!
So you got your schooling in Zen, Tao and Graphics Fidelity while you were having a NuLabour brain-wash in the Guards, presumably? Excellent!
But seriously, Charles, I’m very grateful for the image you have given me of McFuckwit, in full ceremonial kit, gurning and twitching all the way through Trooping the Colour. Marvellous!
Ieyasu Tokugawa was a brutal dictator, during the shogunate the Emperor was kept a virtual prisoner, since possession of the Emperor guaranteed power.
Japan was effectively closed to Foreigners and Foreign trade, it was only after the Meiji Restoration that Japan began to develop as a World Power.
Is this what Gordon has in mind for us, a socialist mediaeval state as in North Korea, or Kampuchea after year Zero?
If Charles Hardwidge is quoting from the New Labour song-sheet when invoking Ieyasu Tokugawa, we ought to be very fearful.
By the way, it is widely accepted, that Rome at the time of its foundation was populated with criminals, the scum of the Ancient World. There were no “greats” at the time of the Foundation of the City, judge them by their behaviour – “The Rape of the Sabine Women”?
I think you need to READ some history, learning history from Computer Games can give you some very strange ideas.
Gaius Julius Caesar, and Qin Shi Huang.
Both Dictators, Caesar destroyed what was left of Democracy and introduced rule by the Emperors, without Caesar there would have been been no Nero, Caligula Heliogabalus etc……………
One of the many disgusting acts of Qin Shi Huang was the mass execution of scholars mostly by burying them alive……….
New Labour chooses strange heroes.

I am a pensioner and say f**k off you cnut, my wife and I saved for our retirement, Liebour plundered our pensions whilst the MPs and public service feathered their own nests. You screwed ISAs , you f**ked interest rates for pensioners, you increased public debt, you have embarked on the Wiemer policy of printing money, as a result you will screw the nation with rising inflation. exchange rates are disadvantaged, the gold reserves are depleted, you pour money into the car industry that has failed since the 1960’s, you have have done a a major blunder in bailing out the banks and building societies when they should have gone to the wall and as a consequence distorted the capitalist free market, you have ruined Lloyds TSB-AAAAAAAAARH nurse where’s my medication.

How can you tell is an MP is mad? Perhaps declaring war on a Country thousands of miles away? Perhaps one that lies so often he forgets the truth?
Ring any bells?
A Government who is totally untrusted by the vast majority of the people, would surely want to do something to reinstate trust. Only a bonkers Government and a bonkers Prime minister would declare an inquiry into the starting of the war behind closed doors, with people not under oath and not answerable to anyone whatever the outcome. Save our money…just don’t bother having one! We know the truth anyway…Blair lied and Brown supported him.
Quite so. You’re so right!
This Government’s solution to everything is….TAX. Today we have an announcement that we are all to pay a ‘Broadband Tax’ to get faster broadband. Has it not occured to anyone that we are already paying too much for Broadband?
Evidence that the whole cabinet are…bonkers! Send the men in white coats.
Broadband is CHEAP in the U.K.
Where I live, 6 MB is 40,90 Euros a month , plus landline rental. 10 MB is 44,90 euros a month. (all plus VAT) free National calls are included, except 900 numbers, of course.
My telephone bill is therefore nearly 68 euros a month, before any call charges are added.
“Broadband is CHEAP in the U.K.”
Don’t worry. Darling. Will solve that problem for you.
On the east coast of the USA, (Baltimore, MD), I had broadband on my boat at the marina that gave me an average of 12-16Mb. The monthly cost, including phone service with free instate calls, was $26. That translates to about £16.
The charges in UK are a real rip-off. But there again, so is the general cost of living, with taxes at the present rate.
They are trying to use tax revenues to warp the market.
Low population density and distance from exchanges does not make it economic to run ADSL broadband to every cottage in the country.
If there was business case, then BT or another provider would have done so, or others could have with an alternative technology.
If you believe state intervention is the fix for everything then I suppose it makes sense. Alternatively, Gordon could return some of the £25 Billion 3G spectrun auction revenues to the mobile operators and they would be able to offer mobile broadband coverage effectively and cheaply.

A Prime Minister who writes a book called Courage:, then orders the Iraq inquiry to be secret, reporting after the next election
The inquiry is allegedly unlimited (until they ask the Government to disclose documents! remember it took two years for MPs expense claims to come into the open!!!!
He is not Bonkers. He is not even courageous.
He is a cynical, calculating, coward.
He’ll bring up any old crap if it gives him an opportunity to plug his tiresome diaries.
Al*stair C*mpbell is talking twaddle.
Under Section 141 of the Mental Health Act an MP can only be removed from their seat if they are detained (sectioned) under the Act for more than 6 months.
A person can only be sectioned if they are suffering severe mental distress and pose a danger to themselves and/or others AND are refusing to accept treatment.
I believe I am right in saying that most people who are sectioned, are only sectioned briefly for suicidal attempts etc and don’t therefore fall under Section 141 of the Act which relates to MP’s.
I think psychologists would agree that people who are sectioned for more than six months are suffering from a fairly prolonged and difficult to treat mental illness and certainly wouldn’t be fit to be a serving member of a government.
One wonders what Alastair is aiming at???!!!! Knowing the crab that he is – it will be something obscure and devious.
There’s no question that the snot-gobbler poses a danger to others and is clearly unwilling to accept treatment.
VE VILL HAVE TO ADMINISTER ZE PATIENT WITH A PROLONGED COURSE OF ECT.
Ali C is a Blairite who knows that raising mental illness questions will pour attention on Browns madness.
well that seems reasonable.
Many MPs (including the bonkers brown) could do with a psycological assessment and help, but the risk is too great so they just end up going even more mental – and it all gets either swept under the carpet, or just made fun of as if it wasn’t true.
Jim Devine standing down at next election
Another fat pension to fund.
Was this the Jim Devine who had his hot water boiler replaced on expenses because he was too lazy to find out how to turn down the thermostat?!!!!
Question is did he jump or was he pushed??
Devine was hosed.
No, He had the bill made out to a none address
Plus non-existent carpentry, billed to him by his pub landlord.
Fraud, pure and simple.
Sounds as if Devine’s a criminal.
UNISON
Central Scotland Labour Mafia
Jim Devine – another Unison placement
Another Nu-Labour Central Scotland Mafia agent.
How many troughers with Unison conections ?
How much incompetence from Central Scotland where competition (until relatively recently from SNP) was minimal.
These people have been bred for treachery on the people from Labour/Unison closed shop dynasties.
This is nothing new – these people are lifetime troughers.
Central Scotland.
This is where the darkness is deepest.
I know, I live there,

So who is the most disgusting man in the UK?
Gordon Brown or Piers Morgan?
Gordon Brown definitely!!!!
Re: Piers does anyone know what the connection is between his pout and Burger King?

It has nothing to do with BK. He’s had that pout since his mother first slapped his arse.
He wants to splash his meat between baps. That is congress with barm cakes ffs!
I wonder if Nadine likes burgers?
Just a large sausage I think!
extracted from the article in the WSJ see opposite…..
Labour lawmakers expressed their confidence in the prime minister on June 8. Given his supposedly successful management of the economy while chancellor of the exchequer, the majority felt that he was best qualified to lead Britain out of the recession, which, they claim, was caused by external forces, not by Mr. Brown’s policies.
The facts show otherwise. Britain’s economic downturn began when its house price and household debt bubbles inevitably burst, beginning with the run on Northern Rock in September 2007. These bubbles had swollen to higher levels, relative to average price and income levels respectively, than in the U.S. and other major economies.
Ignoring the inability of many house buyers to pay their mortgages, he touted this message to City bankers in successive annual speeches at the Mansion House in London, promising them “light-touch regulation.”
Mr. Brown cannot honestly deny all responsibility for Britain’s recession.
Given these historic facts, Britain’s Labour legislators should think again about sticking with the prime minister. Choosing a new leader with integrity and managerial competence is the party’s best chance to win greater respect from voters.
QED – he is bonkers, so section him now. Started in America. my arse………..
Thanks MBH. What’s quie interesting is the WSJ state on the right to that article that statistically, this story is THE most emailed in EUROPE! Its Number 1
So, when do they plan to have Gordon Sectioned?
Probably after the next GE.
I wonder how many political editors know the truth about gordon’s true mental state and how many will speak out after the GE when he’s gone saying they were afraid to tell the truth whilst he, and his henchman, were there??
A bit like they are now admitting they knew about MP’s expenses a long time ago but didn’t dare speak out until McBride had gone!!!!
Well thanks Guido – you’ve forged a new way to the truth!! We don’t need the dead tree press anymore!!!!
Err….wasn’t the expenses scandal revealed by the dead tree press?
There are no plans to section him. It suites Mandelson and his cronies fine that they have a mad figure head PM who they can manipulate as they please.
Just give me the word.
What word?
…I think it begins with ‘k’ and ends with ‘l’ – oh, and there might be an ‘i’ and p’raps another ‘l’ somewhere in it…

can you help me was lady thatchers goverment as bad as this with spinning ?
If I remember correctly she didn’t go in for spinning but she knew how to give the media a new story so as to distract them from paying attention to sensitive issues.
Nothing like Labour – they took it to a new level but lost control, hence the mess they’ve been in for the last couple of years.
cheers i will think about that
now bring on the aussies
Not much need for spinning if your opponents are as useless and non-threatening as Labour under Michael Foot and Neil Kinnock; spouting only dogma and bereft of ideas.
Hence the explanation why Brown is obsessed with spin to the extent that he has to have a war-room (FFS!) in his pathetic, obsessive attempts to traduce Cameron and the Tories.
De-selection is such a pejorative term.
On the contrary, he’s been positively selected by the Star Chamber (a great honour) to perform his duties on a canvas much broader than the narrow confines of our Westminster village can provide.
It is, in fact, a significant promotion.
He’s been positively selected by Knacker for a chat if there is any justice in the world.
It’s not a plot to keep Brown in.
This is typical of the standard Campbell line he trots out to keep up his lucrative sideline as a mental health pundit. “Poor me, I had a nervous breakdown and now I’m the world’s leading expert.” His Damascene conversion didn’t stop him trying to “fuck Gilligan” leading to the suicide of Dr Kelly, smearing Brown as “psychologically flawed” or abusing all and sundry during his tenure in No 10, undermining the self-confidence and mental health of those on the receiving end.
As with most of Campbell’s utterances, it is bollocks. A sectioned individual is a potential danger to themselves and others. A soldier in the Armed Forces who was sectioned would not be fit to discharge their duty and would be removed from duties. If they were not fit to return to duty they would be medically discharged. The same for MPs – if they are not fit to discharge their duty they should be suspended and – if necessary – there should be a by-election in their constituency. Voters have a right to be represented and if the MP cannot fulfil that function through mental incapacity then they should be replaced.
Those suffering from mental heath problems should be given every support to recuperate and return to society, and should not be stigmatised. But the role of MPs and other offices of state cannot be compromised by the unfitness of the occupant. There are probably a few dozen MPs who are suffering from mental health problems due to the pressure-cooker and poisonous atmosphere – made more poisonous by the likes of Campbell and McBride with the blessing of Blair and Brown.
my misses got mental health problems it aint easy
The mental patient often does not suffer and may well be unaware of the effect their condition has on others.
It is those who share the workspace or the home life with the patient who do the suffering.
Yes and some of us won’t ever forget or forgive him (and Tony) for the death of Dr David Kelly.
Never forget Dr David Kelly. When ever I see Blair’s name or photograph I remember David Kelly.

And the gorgon is a presbytarian misfit, (with Calvin and John Knox chasing him, what do you expect?) No wonder newlabour have been such an ABOMINABLE government! We’ve been ruled by a load of bampots.

A campbell should be kept out of any job that has power. He is a warped unpleasant man, whether mentally ill or not.
In the distorted and bile-filled world of socialism, where all have entitlements and rights and no-one has responsibilities of their own perhaps the imbalances in parliament will be redressed, with quotas beng set and representative numbers of those with low IQ, Down’s, thosein a persistent vegetative state, the lazy, andthe violently sociopathic being granted seats. That would definitely make and old broken down Campbell happy..

Diagnosis for Bonkers Brown
I think this is what Gordon Brown is suffering from:
The Dunning-Kruger effect is an example of cognitive bias in which “…people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it”. They therefore suffer an illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.
– Incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their own level of skill.
– Incompetent individuals fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning_kruger_effect
‘Pychosis’ is just as apt under wikipedia
As is the “Hubris Syndrome” postulated by David Owen.
It results in the Peter Principal
Why oh why oh why don’t we get Jonty Pryor on the job for Labour. How could voters not be impressed by such a bright chap as Jonty.
Jonty: Hi my name is Jonty, I want to tell you about Mr 10% Cameron and how the Tories will slash spending
Voter: Fuck off, I am in BUPA
That effect could be one for socialists everywhere.
They all believe they can spend money better than the person who earned it could!

What a pity Brown and Mandelson have hijacked the labour party for their own power. I know many party activists who now have no say in their local constituency and even less on who their prospective candidate will be, many still being parachuted in by Brown and his merry men.
I thought 6 pensions and euro gravy train winner, kinnock, had removed the militant tendency from labour in the eighties. “The enemy within”
Still bullying, still lying, Brown and his very own labour party.
Sorry but I think British Socialism is coming to a sad end – destroyed by Brown, Mandelson and Blair.
!00 years of history – destroyed!!!!
The First World War – tremendous suffering and sacrifice, was the real birth of their cause. It should have been the start of something really wonderful.
Materialism (bliar), I’m in it for for what I can get ( martin) – i’m a presbyterian with a moral compass and the people need me to be getting on with my job (brown). This is the sad end.
Brown, Mandelson,Bliar – you’ve trashed a century of hard work. Well done!!!!
Sorry Grandad but you fought and died for God’s with clay feet.
It’s such a shame that the era of spin has ended so abruptly. ‘Conviction politicians’ – hell-bent on a brighter future, subverted by plasma TV’s and wallpaper you could play on a 1950’s stylus? – ‘Hey’, and let’s not beat about the bush here.. ‘Ho!’… the beast is slain. So, ‘less shit then’ is the message from the electorate. Get on with it.
Things are Looking Brown for bleak… And he is caught lying, again! Has he no shame?
Is it any wonder many small/medium sized companies have, and still are going to the wall under the weight of new add on social costs levied on employers by labour, whereby not only does the firm have to pay for the employee, they now have to pay for their family too. The introduction of the mimimum wage has played its part too in the destruction of many businesses.
These costs are of course in addition to all the other stealth taxes levied on all of us under 12 years of labour tyranny rule. Then of course you have the costs of so called green taxes.
Even British Airways are not immune, asking staff to work for nothing for a period of time.
Not to forget corporation tax on small businesses which is still being hiked up year on year and the increases in business rate.
One can only despair at what crazy twits you want running the country Guido!!

Dave Prentiss – UNISON – has started moves to suspend funding to Labour.
He comments ” Members are tired of feeding the hand that bites them”
So are the public Mr Prentiss
Prentiss still hasn’t worked out that it’s not about the Labour Party anymore, it’s about MP’s saving their own skins and getting as many fat brown envelopes as possible before they are forced to call an election.
Hey Dave, why don’t you list the Labour MPs that YOUR Union has “selected”, promoted, and supported all through their troughing years.
Deflection politics from UNISON.
They have and are a major part of the problem.
Watch them lie low during the 12/13 Labour years then mobilise their workforce onto the streets (supported by “their” financed MPs) to undermine the new government as soon as Tories take over and challenge the public sector to provide value for the taxpayer.
Odious Vermin.
Charles E Hardwidge says:

And that Charlie-boy is the problem!!

Furthermore they are still putting the needs of their back pockets and the Labour party above the needs of the country = TREASON in my book.

Can anyone name a single piece of legislation passed into law by Labour in the last 12 years that would have been missed had it not been passed?
Some of the immigration law I presume. Nothing pro Native Britons though
Are you are referring to the “Leave The Barndoors Wide Open” legislation, or the “Remove All Border Controls” legislation?
I voted for Labour because I wanted mass immigration, 24 hour drinking, 24 hour gambling, a ban on hunting foxes, increased petrol duty, less people going to prison and more criminals under the supervision of trainee probation officers. I wanted more quangos, more NHS managers, more management consultants. I am pro PFI because I would rather my grandchildren pay for all the “investment” in schoolshospitalsdoctors than me. I voted Labour in 2005 because they had replaced RPI with CPI to measure inflation.
Tears are rolling down my face as I sit here typing this with my victory gin looking at Gordon Brown’s face on my telescreen.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5553901/MPs-expenses-Tory-claims-57000-to-rent-flat-from-own-company.html
A millionaire Conservative MP broke parliamentary rules by claiming more than £50,000 in taxpayer-funded expenses to rent a flat from his own company.
Brian Binley claimed £1,500 a month to rent the flat for more than three years, despite House of Commons rules forbidding MPs from renting properties from themselves or their companies.
The Daily Telegraph can disclose that Mr Binley’s rental claims were first flagged up by parliamentary officials in April 2006, but the payments were not stopped until April of this year.
Looks like the office expenses are the next scandal, do we have a month of this coming up too???
I think Mr Martin should pay it back and I hope the company are registered landlords if it’s the requirement to do so now.

As for me I would save 100% on the ID card project and at least 50% on funding the EU.
Is it just me are are Nu Lab SHIT at catch phrases these days ?

Expect an increase in internet correspondents on this site now “Telegraph Blogs” has been made user hostile.
Redesigned Telegraph blogs: RIP
Just curious – how much do you make in adertising every quarter?
Is this order-order blog nowadays shit and pimping nothing?!?
Back on topic: it is extremely difficult to get anyone sectioned these days as the beds and funding are no longer there. Hence the creation in psychiatry of Assertive Outreach teams, Crisis Resolution Home Treatment teams, Gateway workers etc who are judged on how many people they keep out of hospitals. So the fact that someone isn’t sectioned does not mean they do not have severe mental health problems, including psychoses.
Another problem is that those with personality disorders (psychopaths) are unlikely to be sectioned as the condition is widely considered untreatable. Many psychopaths are drawn to power….
Actually having witnessed deliberations about sectioning someone, the so called mental heath “care” team (MHCT) members (with associated doctors) are absolutely terrified of being sued by the person (“client”) that they section, if that person appeals (as is often likely).
Also MHCT members spend so little time with their “clients” (not “patients” wtf!) that they aren’t truly aware of their “clients” true mental health.
The “client” can refuse to engage with the MHCT and dismiss them, and refuse all “suggested” treatment.
The “clients” rights are put ahead of everyone else by the MHCT, even their dearest and dearest.
Gordon Brown would and – I assume – is refusing to engage with any MHCT.
I believe Gordon Brown has some sort of autistic mental problem.
The three main areas of difficulty which all people with autism share are sometimes known as the ‘triad of impairments’. They are:
* difficulty with social communication
* difficulty with social interaction
* difficulty with social imagination.
MHCTs are supposed look for positive outcomes for their clients.
What would a positive outcome for Gordon Brown be?
Put him on an island by himself with no means to contact others nor any means to leave. Or put him in a padded cell. In this way he would be no longer a danger to himself or others.
The danger of Gordon Brown is clear, present and unfortunately active, as those living in the UK are all too well aware of.
Perhaps the Anti-terrorism Act could be used to detain him?

Great post, but …… I think “mental illness” simply does not exist. It’s a cope-out of responsibilities and now increasingly used to gain benefits (because the media/government bang on about it so much, so people are switched on to what to tell the doctor etc), firstly to obtain incapacity benefit, progressing to DLA (loads of money).
In my view they are simply MALINGERERS and/or SYMPATHY-SEEKERS.
I know of several bone-idle tossers who have tried this on and have succeeded in securing benefits including, much to my dismay, my sister.

There is a difference between someone who has a bout of depression or a nervous breakdown and someone who has a personality disorder. The latter is often untreatable. What Campbell appears to leave unclarified is whether someone with a known personality disorder is a suitable person to be an MP. A personality disorder such as narcissisism presents as delusions of grandeur, lack of empathy, ruthlessness, unwillingness to take responsibility for actions, self absorption, lying, manipulation and control freakery amongst its many traits. It can be confused with high end autism which also presents with self absorption. It becomes obvious that many MP’s may be suffering from personality disorders and these are the people who should not be allowed to hold office imo.

Guido, you’re both offensive and wholly wrong. Calling someone ‘bonkers’ because they have been sectioned is a disgrace.
I really can’t believe you’d continue with such vile and bigoted views. You took such offence at being labeled a racist. Being a bigot here doesnt seem to bother you as much.
