When Sally Met John, She Was Tory
There is a myth put about that John Bercow’s supposed shift to the left is a result of him falling under the spell of a Labour supporting girlfriend who he subsequently married. Granted it is a better explanation than, for example, he is an unprincipled opportunist focused on self-advancement at any price who will do and say anything to further his career. If he can spin that it is love that made him jettison now inconvenient positions he held previously, all the better…
The truth is that when Bercow met Sally Illman she was a Tory activist, their relationship was encouraged by Julian Lewis MP (he was best man at their wedding). In reality her political history is almost as interesting as her husband’s past. In 1993 she spoke at the Conservative Party conference taking a commendably hard line on freedom of the press, telling Tory delegates
‘All of these stories should be known in a mature democracy. None would have been published under a privacy law . . . To gag the press by cumbersome statute would be wrong, damaging to the press, insulting to readers’ intelligence and harmful to democracy. It would be a foolish error of political judgement and we would pay a hefty price.’
Quite right. Wonder if she will still hold to that view after tomorrow…
Dung! Oooops, ding.
I would
Do tell Guido! Which of the Sundays might one choose to read first?
The ice cream one.
God Berkoff is a real shortarse. Why do midgets always shag tall birds?
And why is the fact that this tall bird is a Labour supporter have anything to do with Jackoff’s beliefs? Doesn’t that alone make him a faithless limp-dick, if not a “unprincipled opportunist”?
I think we should be told. Everything.
Ah Mr Den; still calling yourself after your leader, Dick Sniffins favourite sexual practice.
bet the little muppet has to stand on a foot stall to get anywhere close to his fruits.
if he became speaker he’d need a fucking highchair !
NO he putsa bucket over her head then swings on the handle !
To Trough is Human, to Steal Devine….…
Dunno about her once being a tory, in some pics it looks like she was once a man.
‘MPs should be paid £100,000 a year’ says favourite to become Commons Speaker John Bercow
Mail on sunday:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1194459/What-John-Bercow-really-wants-To-Speaker–100-000-salary-MPs.html
“Claims that John Bercow abandoned his Right-wing extreme views because of his Labour-supporting wife were challenged last night – after it emerged she had once been a Conservative.
Mr Bercow’s ‘cross-party’ love affair has been used to gain support from Labour MPs in the race to become Speaker.
They have been wooed by the story of how the diminutive Thatcherite changed his views after falling for the statuesque ‘Blairite’ Sally Illman.
But Ms Illman, 39, has not always been the staunch Left-winger that she is now.
The couple – who have two children – first met at a Conservative students’ meeting in 1989 – when Mr Bercow was the guest speaker.
His wife-to-be was then a 19-year-old Classics student at Keble College, Oxford, where she was social secretary of the university Conservative association.
She went on to twice address the Tory Party Conference as a delegate, but by 1997 had switched sides and was campaigning for Tony Blair.
Mr Bercow’s many enemies within the Tory Party complain he discovered ‘sex and the Labour Party at the same time’, discarding his strident beliefs – he once campaigned to send immigrants back to their own country when he was an officer of the far-Right Monday Club – to please his girlfriend.
By 2002, by which time the couple had married, Mr Bercow had fallen under her sway and become a social liberal. This version of events appeals to Labour MPs planning to back Mr Bercow in order to embarrass Mr Cameron by voting an ideologically off-message Tory into the chair.
Last night, a spokesman for Mr Bercow said: ‘Sally Bercow was a Conservative activist at Oxford University. She remained a member of the Conservative Party until
the early 1990s and has never made any secret of the fact. She has been a member of the Labour Party since 1997.’
Bercow is correct. If MPs were paid 5 times the national average rather than using the discredited expenses system we would have better MPs rather than the uninspiring dolts who got us into thsi mess as the remuneration would attract a better class of candidate.
68 Cherie. No doubt you realise that this would exclude your devoted?
Paying MP’s anything more than a subsistence means that they are obliged by the state to do as they are told. Yes no more democracy. And that is what we have been getting for the last 50 year. No more money and lets have people who aren’t there for the CASH.
a pay freeze for two years to compensate for their thieving antics for starters !
Cherie blair’s devoted is exactly the same opportunist as these two are but, it goes without saying that all politicians are opportunists. Some are more so than others, some are more blatant about it, some have more ‘brass neck’.They really do the job (if you can call it that ) so that they can earn a lot by doing very little, there is really no profession in being a politician. It is a way of life carved out for the entire benefit of themselves. They learn to move in any direction that will lead them to greater power, and thence the money that goes with that power. They learn to protect themselves by playing
an endless game of deceitful ’soft shoe shuffle’, which includes learning to put the knife in at the right moment. The worst part is, they (with all their personal inadequacies) think they have some ‘god’ given right to mould society in the way they see fit. They persuade themselves that this way is the RIGHT way.
“If MPs were paid 5 times the national average rather than using the discredited expenses system we would have better MPs ”
Nice idea, however if they were paid the national average wage and allowed to claim the national average in expenses surely it would be more incentive to improve pay and conditions for all.
I have come across some total bollocks in my time but #146 takes it. The only thing to be achieved by paying subsistence would be a Commons populated only by union arselickers like Brown and wealthy Tory twats like Cameron. Of course there would also be those who would sell their influence even more than at present. But I do not know why I should expect any better thinking from most of the brain dead gay nazis and socialist infiltrators on this blog. The only reasonable objection I can think of to my position is that it was first put forward by Widdi – so there must be a flaw but for once her very small brain seems to have accidentally reached the right conclusion. That is probably anexpulsion offence under the Camerloons.
I would pay MPs by results.
are you touting for 5 times the average salery so as you and your troughing hubby can return to the trough ?
You have the one on the right, I’ll take the big bird on the left. OK?
Just some of Sir George Young’s Piggery
The MP also claimed more than £4,000 in expenses to advertise in 15 different magazines in his constituency.
The claims were made under Sir George’s Incidental Expenses Provision (IEP), which is intended to support the costs of running an office, and later his Communications Allowance.
The following January, In August 2007, he found himself in dispute with the fees office after it asked him to remove parts of his website which gave a commentary on the results of the 1997, 2001 and 2005 general elections.
Officers said they were not acceptable on a publicly funded website, because they were too political.
For the past two years the Old Etonian, who is chairman of the standards and privileges committee, has also claimed the maximum second home allowance on his London flat.
By far his biggest outgoing was the interest repayments on the flat he bought for £397,000 in 2005, which averaged more than £1,400 a month.
Sir George also claims the full rate of council tax on the band G property, which amounted to £1,146 in 2008-09, even though he would be eligible for a discount because it is his second home.
Other claims included a £699 washer-dryer (reduced to £500 by the fees office) and a £449 dishwasher (reduced to £375).
Sir George told The Sunday Telegraph: “I purchased a second hand video recorder so I could post clips of my work as an MP on YouTube. It has not been used for private purposes.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5587531/MPs-expenses-Sir-George-Young-claimed-YouTube-broadcasts.html
The former Cabinet minister is not the only member of his family to benefit from his taxpayer-funded expenses; he employs his daughter Camilla as his office manager. Although her salary is not declared, Sir George paid his staff a total of £83,682 last year.
Sir George Young claimed £127,000 on London flat
Sir George, the 6th Baronet of his family, whose motto is Be Right and Persist, has been an MP since 1974 and served as a junior health minister and environment minister in Baroness Thatcher’s government. He later joined a backbench rebellion against the poll tax, though he was brought back into the fold as a party whip. He served as transport secretary in the final years of John Major’s government.

How can we expect any other from the people who seek power in this country. They don’t know themselves so how can they stand for anything. Lets have a list of the MP’s who haven’t took the Piss. Then we can see if there are any with any integrity, If there are we can press for them being the house speaker.
“Haven’t taken the piss”. Honestly, is it any suprise the security services cannot find Iraqi weapons, Al Quaeda agents etc etc when they cannot even use the language English. Back to working for Dick Sniffin attacking Romanians and anyone with a suntan Mr MI6.

GUIDO WAKE UP AND GIVE US ANOTHER TOPIC !

Gordo or Guido?
Vote for me, vote for me!
I am a midget with leprosy of the mouth and face, show some kind mercy sir and vote for me!
Truth is a word used by politicians but not meant.
should I go out especially early to pick up a copy of “news of the screws”?
I believe that propaganda is mostly restricted to the News of the Shrews these days, or Brown’s Big Coprolite as it is often referred to round my way.
this story would be better if the headline read:
When Sally Met John, She Was Terry
What do you suppose it was that first attracted her to John Bercow, millionaire?
Big man big prick, small man all (one big) prick
Another dwarf trying to change human destiny.
Nothing to do with attraction. Pairing in the Tories is determined by the good old feudal principle of “droite de seigneur”.
Not too many Mrs Merton fans in the house then.
I’m sorry but people who wear cheap charcoal shirts like BerHoon are only fit for middle management in a semi-rural car dealership.
Also – if he’s allowed his wife’s political stupidity to affect his own views then one wonders whether he’s got a mind of his own.
He’s a hoon and no mistake.
Pussy-whipped is the current phrase, I believe.
Whilst I have some sympathy with your view perhaps it is better to be Bercow and have your views set by your wife rather than Camerloon and have them set by your 4th Underbutler.
Or be Gordon Brown and have them set by a camp version of Sauron
I do apologise – I should have clarified that the 4th Underbutler is George Osborne (or Turd as he was known at school). How he aspired to such an elevated position given his limited intellect is a mystery but may be related to the rather embarrassing pics of Camerloon from Uni days which remain in his possession.
We love you Guido we do, oh Guido we love you.
Seconded And we love the Telegraph and not forgetting Heather
Perhaps Lady Brooke, if Her Maj has a sense of humour.
And James Purnell, at least he tried (the only one with balls!)
No, James ‘Photoshop’ Purnell is one of the greasiest of the greasy. He’s so slippery that he has fooled some people into believing that he resigned on principle, when he is just positioning himself for a comeback after the Great Lump of Misery loses the next election. He is Blair without the rigorous regard for truth.
Surely supporters of Bercow would have never have maintained that his shift was merely due to marriage, but rather the sort of shift from right-to-left that many experienced post thatcher?
I think this portrays Bercow in a better light tbh. I never liked this idea that his wife pulled the strings.
Why would anyone want to be a “supporter of Bercow”? He’s hardly inspiring, more a chancer than anything else.
wouldn’t you shif hell and high water to get into her keck’s ?
She’s got a gammy leg
The leggy blonde ones…….mad bad and dangerous to know, can’t wait.
Is that a leather skirt or Jim Devine’s mink sofa?
Aren’t there any men of stature around?
Yup! Winston Churchill ?
I believe he is a stature in Parliament square
George Osborne – oh sorry, thats ordure.
are you saying she’s window dressing?
Let’s wait and see what tomorrow’s Sunday Telegraph front page brings shall we? I always trust the DT to keep me well informed about suitable totty. Is the hubby going to prison by the way?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/downingstreet/3631501481/
is it me or does his head look small in this?
Why the surprise?
Anthony Charles Linton Blair was a Tory, who knew he wasn’t good enough to get on there – so pulled the biggest scam by hoodwinking the shallow end of the gene pool into believing he was left wing.
The biggest laugh is that Gordon the Moron knew he wasn’t good enough to beat Blair in a straight election, so threw his towel in and has been second best / second choice for all this time.
Was his interview today his part in securing his “honourable” surrender at the Party Conference and handing over the reigns of power to Lord Peter, so that he can go and teach?
Sort of;

If Hannan is correct then this article is dynamite.
It’s been mooted here time and again that Call Me Dave will ooze out through the loophole he left himself and welch on the promise of a referendum.
The government’s held together by string and sealing wax. Parliament’s dirtier than a slapper’s shreddies.
Yet still the ramshackle contrivance judders on, waiting for the Irish to pull the plug on the chance of a return to sanity.
Ah well, second attempt to get past the mod sod. No frills.
Government and Parliament are irredeemable putrefaction.
Cameron will ditch the referendum if the Irish vote “yes”.
RIP democracy. Goodnight Vienna.
“The best course for Labour MPs would be to despatch their leader with the cold efficiency of so many abattoir workers, replace him with someone presentable, hope for a honeymoon and flatter the electorate with an early poll. Mandy, of all people, knows this perfectly well. So what the devil is he playing at? Viewed from the Westminster lobby, it seems an impenetrable mystery. From the perspective of Brussels, though, the answer is obvious. European Commissioners are obsessed with the need to keep David Cameron at bay until the Lisbon Treaty is ratified.
Dead right Dan Han, and as eloquently put as always…
Yes, this is dynamite if true and does explain a lot. We’ve got to hope the Irish reject this stitch-up of a constitution.
Talking of the Lisbon Treaty, I hope that Guido will give it much publicity here in Ireland. I look forward to seeing him on his Grand Ireland Tour where he can address the people and explain what Lisbon really means. Also a very special Guido Blog.The main party here is quite out of favour,especially as they are about to make huge cuts to the welfare budget. Unfortunately many Irish people are pro-Europe. Come on Guido. Your Country Need YOU. In helping the Irish reject this treaty you will ultimately help the British.So it is in everyone’s interest…Simplesssssss….
Sorry to be a dummy about this but I have forgotten … will the treaty be accepted if Eire says yes in a second vote? If so, why? What about the French and Dutch who voted no. They didn’t have a second referendum. Did their governments just go ahead and ratify anyway?
Anyone?? Please??
I don’t have any particular links but Daniel Hannon, UKIP, or google ‘Lisbon Treaty’ should bring up the info. Now chirac said it was the same as the constitution and some have voted NO whilst others including UK didn’t get a vote at all. When the treaty comes into force it will be impossible to start up an anti-euro political party and get funding from the EU so the next GE is our last chance to have a say. Personally I don’t care about Lisbon and want out altogether except for being chummy like we are with the rest of the world, I.E; travel, trade, etc. If it comes into force I will go out of my way to disobey along with millions of others. I’ve got no problem with standardised plug sockets but have a problem with being governed by a foreign based tyranny. I do hope that the debate opens up fully and we help the Irish to make the right choice from over here in UK.
The French and Dutch voted ‘no’ to the original EU Constitution, rather than the Lisbon Treaty.
The main reason for the Lisbon treaty to be caled a treaty was that countries such as France and the Netherlands require a referendum on contitutional changes but not on EU Treaties, thus by calling it a Treaty it could be ratified by national Parliaments without the inconvenience of having to get the people to vote on it.
The name change was also Liebour’s reason to get out of a manifesto commitment here to a referendum. Of the 27 countries, only Ireland requires by law a referendum on a Treaty. How inconvenient…
From Hannan’s article, Mandelson is a paid agent for foreign interests: is that not a traitor?
Gordon is a LOOSER.
He Lost to Blair and now he’s lost to Mandelson. Gordon never gets to control the train set, some other boy always takes charge.
LOOSER.
I BET HE WAS THE BOY WHO ALWAYS GOT HIS SWEETS STOLEN IN THE PLAYGROUND !
Tell you what lover of tall Blonds, Mrs Bercow should be the next speaker. The Parliament channel’s audience ratings would soar.
Sorry, but the word is LOSER.
Not if he is looser than my fanny darlin’
The post is written to reflect loose spelling standards in New Labour’s schools.
I fear you may be right after today’s announcement that “I before E” is to be dropped from English lessons as “irrelevant”.
That should the Compo’s get into Uni.

I suspect that after all those seeing-to’s by Lord Voldermort. the Dear Leader is definitely looser.
Yeah, he’s probably got agonoids too
You carry on, chum. Do’nt listen to looser browns mate’s here.
I think that the correct spelling is ‘loser’.
Do keep up.

Brown is determined to go down in flames at the next election, and the electorate are determined to help him on his way.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he started taking advice from John Major, he’s that desperate.
I heard that Gordon was very excited when John promised him his soapbox for Xmas.
I know that Peter is a great fan of John’s rusty soapbox.
Anthony Charles Linton Blair was a Tory , but not a Conservative .
David William Donald Cameron may be similarly impaired , from my (admittedly slightly blurred) observation .
Left wing Trolls always blame others for their own shortcomings.
Blair was Nu Labour, he was voted in as Nu Labour and now that the bottom has dropped out of the 4th consecutive Labour administration in the past century leaving us skint yet again Blair has miraculously metamorphosed into a tory – well fancy that – fucxxxx unbelievable.
They’re all the fucking same. Stooges. Kick the lot out.
Would you want your children taught by Gordon Brown? I would not let him anywhere near my kids. In fact I think he should be investigated by Social Services with the view of removing his wife’s children from his presence. The man’s a slug.
didn’t the labour party appoint his wife to enhance his reputation ?
first school trip will be to obama beach !
Fair point about Blair and Labour being a little intellectually challenged but I cannot imagine he was concerned about intellectual competition in the Tories. I am always grateful to the Tory High Comand for restoring my belief in God. On the grounds that they disprove Darwinism since their survival is a mystery I am only left with a God with a sense of humour as an explanation.
She’s a big girl isn’t she? Or is Bercow tiny?

Why do peeps want WIDDECOMBE as speaker when she is strongly agin making MPs expenses public and pro exempting them from the FOE act?
She’s like nanny and mistress all rolled into one. Would love to give her one. Or two.
Wouldn’t be a virgin second time round
I can think of a way round that. Can you?
Publishing parliamentary expenses has been important and interesting only because of the systemic abuse and widespread fraud it has revealed. And of course for the consequences the scandal has had on party politics.
Had the parliamentary expenses system been properly implemented, widely observed and diligently controlled, there would have been little need for publication. Public interest would have been minimal.
It is not publication but practice that is critical.
Good God, people still think such crap? No wonder the country is in such a state. You’d make an excellent politician.
It’s a bit late for parliamentary trolls innit?
Do you really want to download and read a 1,000 pages of redacted photocopies in PDF format every election? Do you really want 40 days of front page news on a single topic to the exclusion of policy debate?
What I want is a single page annual audited statement of reimbursed costs broken down into key categories with major items of expenditure noted.
Of course there should be a public repository for the receipts and supporting accounts, probably at a constituency location and Westminster.
The point is that I don’t want ever again to feel to need to consult such a repository.
You lost me at “download”.
“A method of transferring information between computers, M’Lord”
You sound like a politician. Fuck off already!
I presume that “off already” is Court of Public Opinion’s pet name for his wife (or perhaps his goat).
So it will be Margaret Beckett or John Bercow then?
Margaret Beckett
By a nose!

Isn’t Widdecombe a village in Devon?

I can think a basket I would like to hang. Can you?
Are you being paid by the word to advertise Widdehoon?
Judging by her performance on HIGNFY Ann Widdecombe would make a a great speaker. She spent most of the time telling off the teams, if I remember.
Excellent, I never saw this episode. The woman has a sense of humour too..
Don’t watch the show normally. I didn’t really Jimmy Carr was so smug and odious.
There’s a rumour she carries a photograph of Arbuthnot squatting in the litter tray.
Widdy is a shit. She had several mums arrested for “having the cheek” to demonstarte about school closures in their area.
Perhaps she can apply the same logic to MP’s who fiddle their expenses, pregnant or not.
they are all shit’s all 647 of them, not a one fit to remain in power !
Slightly unfair – I quite like Opik. Anyone who screws luvvies may not have so much time for screwing us.

He is a bit of a loon, but I think he deserves the job on one basis – if you are on the take (as it seems about half of MP’s are) – who would you LEAST like to be signing off your exes? Unless they re-animate Tony Benn the answer has to be Frank Field.
Frank Field withdrew at the last moment. Tissues please.
Just about
Looking at it from a purely democratic point of view, allowing for the supposed importance of an independent and strong speaker, why on earth is the public not allowed to vote for a candidate of its choice bearing in mind that the post is ostensibly non partisan?
That would be democracy old boy. We don’t want any of that communist nonsense in this country.
Observer reporting that it was Blair who wanted the Iraq inquiry held in secret, in order to protect him from having to tell the truth on oath and it was Mandelson who told Brown to make it so.
Brown maybe PM in name but he ain’t PM in practice, Blair and Mandelson are pulling the strings.
But Blair’s been back in power since Mandy’sappointment. I thought everyone knew that?
What a marvellous man to serve as PM without being paid. If only Nadine Dorries loved her country as much!
Blair must be laughing all the way to the bank. The gorgon in deep trouble, Mandy back in a big way plotting to get him in to the top job in Europe, several million in his property portfolio. One fly in the ointment though, just a teeny weeny cloud on the horizon in the form of an Iraq war inquiry. We can only hope.
Wish they’d pull harder
JohnB drifted towards Labour in 2002 when he married S*ally *llman.

repy ! poor education !

silly billy – I’m not averse to a glass (or two!) of red wine but not in the morning!!
Although I will admit I made a pig’s ear of those few sentences probably because I had just got out of bed and hadn’t had my first cup of tea!!!!!!!!
Well this is one Buckingham constituent who is not impressed with Bercow’s march leftwards. If he gets to be Mr Speaker, we MUST have an agreed “Anyone But Bercow” candidate at the general election, instead of being denied any choice “by tradition”.
I really want Berkau Minor not to win, just to watch Madperson Melanie Philips do her “He lost because he’s a Jew, and we know you all hate us, except that he isn’t a frothing rightwinger anymore so he must have sold out to filthy socialist voters who love muslims and want to see Israel reduced to a thin film of glass” number.
Followed by Polly’s “Gordon wanted this result so it must be right, therefore wrong, therefore right, therefore wrong, and Bercow’s a Tory who must love Bullingdon Boys except they hate him, and Sure Start appears in over 77% of my articles, because statistics are important, and save the BBC, and my head hurts” piece.
And Quentin Letts venting on caravans and…
I love elections, in fact I’m having one right now, just thinking about ballot boxes.
I first met Bercow’s missus at an Oxford University Monday Club drinks reception. She was very, very right wing at Oxford.
She then went hard line Libertarian / Objectivist but then defected to TRG faction and ended up a Lib Dem suporter.
Basically, she is a totally erratic chancer… Just like her husband !
Ah, the fallibility of the traditional Tory; anyone who can change their mind is a chancer rather than learning from experience. Exactly why governments led by Broon or Camerloon will repeat the mistakes of history.
Don’t knock Polly. She is a chosen one.
She knows “The Leader” works day and night in the forbidden barn, building a spaceship to take all true believers who signed the trillion year labour contract to “Blisstonia” also known as Brussels.
You can her praying to her lima bean Gordon Brown collection every night.
“The Leader is good the Leader is great,
I know you’re useless but its Dave that I hate.”
Why is pt always pontificating on the BBC? – radio and tv. Is there nobody wiser or politically well-read than her?
Bercow = Cossack Hair Spray
show us your knickers!
What scoop(s). Proddie UDA one day, and now Bercow’s journey to the centre right wasn’t because of his ‘leftie’ wife. Well, that does it for me: no way he should be speaker, lets have Beckett. You’d like that – lots of bad hair day controversy on udder-udder.com. So why are you running a manic anti-Bercow line? Strange that an internal Tory party bitch-fest thing which has been stinking for years (only in one corner) should suddenly pop up here, so much, and so prominently. Your either being used and stupid, or taking the piss and stupid, or your as bad as the tossers you claim are the problem.
Times reports dissent in the bunker over the ‘Tory cuts’ lie:
Cabinet split on Gordon Brown
Brown was visibly irritated at the way he had been undermined, and brought the meeting to an early close, avoiding further debate.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6544235.ece
They just don’t know when to quit do they? If this administration was a company the receivers would have been sent in months ago.
Good news for Phones4u though.
Just so you can all be sick just before bedtime: Gordon is going on “Songs of Praise”.
Who’s going to write the lyrics?
Oh god, I know he’s a presbyterian but is he going to hide behind god too, like tony blair? What cowards they are using god as a shield.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Gordon Brown will destroy them all.
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye, to Mandelson.
Come and behold Him, born the Queen of Scandals;
Refrain
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Mandelson the Lord.
Imagine there’s no country
It isn’t hard to do
There isn’t much left to live for
There’s no Labour Party too
Imagine all the people
Ignorant, in debt and in pooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
Become a party member new oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Imagine my possessions
I wonder if you can
Stacked up in Sarah’s bedroom
With a brothers helping hand
Imagine all the little people
Sharing as socialists do ooh oooh ooh…
better be carefull the “big man” might strike the lying bastard down !
And did those feet in ancient time
Trample upon England’s mountains green
And was the unholy face of Gord
On England’s pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance bovine
Snear forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem burnt down here
Instead of those dark Satanic mills
Bring me my receipt for selling gold
Bring me my polls of great despair
Bring me my spinners o’tidings bleak
Bring me my LDV chariots of the fired
I will not cease from being mental
Nor shall my pork sword touch my wife
‘Til we have burnt Jerusalem
In Gordon’s green and snotty hand
‘Til we have burnt Jerusalem
In Gordon’s green and snotty hand
When EU first arose, at Labour’s command,
Arose from out the Commie brain,
Arose, arose, arose from out the Co-ommie brain,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And Gordon’s henchmen sang this strain:
Ruin Britania!
Make the English slaves
Put Britons, ever ever, ever in their graves
Nations not so blest as Scotland
Must in their turn, to tyrants fall,
Must in ,must in, must in their turn, to tyrants fall
Scotland shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free
The dread and envy of them all.
Ruin Britania!
Make the English slaves
Put Britons, ever ever, ever in their graves
Brown really is a fucker, one eyed lying bastard, there surely is no God or Brown would have been struck by lightening by now
There well may be a God. Ken Livingstone’s house was struck by lightning last week!! Unfortunatley Ken was not at home at the time but it did do his PC hard drive and a light switch. Pity he was not holding an earth lead at the time but he was out toadying at the time of this Devine Internvention.
We ploughed Frank Field and scatter the good mps of the land
But it is led and corrupted by mandelsons almighty hand
The gold is not left for winter , national assestts to be marked and sold
They still keep lying brussels will come and save us all
All big debts around us are sent from Labour above
So thankyou gord yes thankyou gord for all yea done .
It was nae me
Odd, this. Songs of Praise isn’t live (for instance the BBC rather famously recorded both the Christmas and following Easter editions in November). So what’s going on? Was a “Gordon Brown special” recorded some time ago and just happens to be airing now, has a “Gordon Brown special” been hastily put together or have the BBC taken a standard SoP edition and dropped a bunch of soundbites in (on “Courage”, of all things) from the Great Lump of Misery?
Either way, the BBC comments line on 03700 100 222 will be ready and waiting to take calls congratulating the BBC on their readiness to uphold political impartiality in these difficult times, I’m sure.
Neigh, neigh and thrice neigh!
Ayes to the right and Neeeeiighs to the left…
There is a 2nd House in New Orleans
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House in Derby South
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot by the chair
I’m goin’ back to the H-O-C
To be the Speaker there
She appeared on Question Time in Grimsby where she was heckled for calling claiming £600 of hanging baskets as “an error” and also for her refusal to repay £72,000 of controversial second home allowance. As she had no mortgage or rent outstanding it was queried how she managed to claim £72,537 between 2004 and 2008 on a house in her constituency when she was renting out her London flat and living in a grace and favour flat.
Just the person to clean up expenses.
Some things are beyond satire
115 I misunderstood the rules regarding the Speaker’s re-election to Parliament. We,the people could decide who will be the next-but-one Speaker if we disagree with Parliament’s choice.
Madge was re-elected to Derby South in 2005 with a majority of circa 5,000.Now if she is elected as Speaker and if the other main parties do not contest the next GE in her constituency, an Independent/UKIP or anybody else could take her on and she could well lose.All it needs is people willing to expose her as a serial garden trougher.
As soon as she is elected Speaker a group could target her constituency,say at the local markets. They could call themselves the Anti-Troughing Party.
John Bercow would be harder to oust if he became Speaker as he has a large majority.If he is elected Speaker thought it would not be impossible to get rid of him.It just needs a small group of dedicated citizens and it could be done.
As we said in the early 70s POWER TO THE PEOPLE Where is John Lennon when you need him?
how do they do that?
A quick flick of the wrist, a large rubber band and a red hot filly is all it takes.
Where on earth was this – at the party conference??

Observer linky re Blair pressuring Brown over Iraq war enquiry FYI
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/20/iraq-war-inquiry-brown-blair
I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give, will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God.
Even he wont help you now you murdering twat.
I seem to remember that a few weeks before, while they were supposedly still thinking about going to war to protect us from wmd 45 minutes and all that, I saw half the british army painted up in desert colours at scratchwood services m25 and being surprised at the time.
I remember seeing shit loads of army stuff trundling up and down the A303 around that time too.
Blair is the worst of the lot. He created the whole New Labour monster and fucked off just before everything went tits up. Demonstrating perfectly the coward that he is.
Blair should be strung up first as an example to the MPs during the current painful navel gazing the dishonourable bastards in both houses are putting us through.
Strongly agree!
Interesting to see that Campbell thinks that on balance it will be easier for it to get at the truth without the distraction of publicity.
Yes Alistair, thank you for your impartial insight into the affair, which I will consider carefully. Can you give me 45 minutes?
He would wouldn’t he.
bunker in dilemma , trying somthing new , dripping crap stories to press to upset blairites again , spinning brown as victim not perpatrator , trying to excuse not a good communicator same as not telling the truth.
question:if he knows hes not a good communicator why jeapordise the labour party by taking the job in the first place ??
blairites just waiting for it to backfire to create enough mass
LOL. Exactly. Joe Orton on LSD could not make this crap up.
A hilarious trainwreck caused by a potty PM.
Only, the joke is on you, me and the OAPs.
[...] And it should come as absolutely no surprise to you that Nadine Dorries fanboys Iain Dale and Guido Fawkes have both been vigorously attacking Bercow for his [...]
both unprincipled political opportunists after money and power…..say it isn’t true!!! :)
Toynbee & Beckett are the type of old stinkers who sit farting in caravans after eating too many scones.
Toynbee = a Marks & Spencers dog food pie
That’s cheered me up a bit. Not much though.
Beckett = Goblin Stew in an aluminium saucepan
Leave her alone
Anyway we heat it in the tin
I bet she take the colour out of the matress
i think you will find Toynbee wouldn’t be seen dead in a caravan, she much prefers her villa in Tuscany.
Some would call her a hyporcite.
So would I.
W.W.
Poly Toynbee has a caravan all of her own
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2006/nov/23/comment.conservatives
“If Cameron can climb on my caravan, anything is possible”
Climb on my caravan? Is that a euphemism?
With Margaret Beckett as Speaker I think we can all agree that the dignity and authority of the House of Commons would be restored overnight. To have someone in the Speaker’s chair completely untainted by the expenses scandal and who has been warning MPs for years about the trouble they were likely to get themselves in will refesh and revitalise our democratic instinct and breathe new life into what was beginning to look like a terminally corrupt institution.
In the chamber, I look forward to ber sonorous voice, never hectoring or chippy, ring out “Ordure, ordure” and sadly never rising above the background din of MPs on cell-phones negotiating with East European prostitutes and home refurbishment contractors.
Erm, have you seen the DT’s Expenses files supplement?
Look up Mrs Beckett. She is certainly not untained!
Sorry – untainted.
Er Sir Far Flung was being sarcastic I think?
I like to entertain myself with my own wry humour, Sir Mufbourne, as indeed I believe you do too!
Every single one of the Speaker frontrunners is tainted by gross piggery and Sir George Young is one of the biggest piggies of the lot.
Look him up in the DT if you don’t believe me.
Yes, but like Monsieur Chirac he can wear a suit well.
If you haven’t got the DT, let me tell you what was printed.
She tried to claim £600 for hanging baskets in 2006. She then spent tens of thousands of taxpayers money on her designated second home in her constituency while living in a grace-and-favour apartment in London.
She submitted another £711 claim for labour and materials for the painting of her summer house, shed and pergola.
Her claim for £15,211.21 for the work on her consituency home was reduced by a mere £1,311.00.
She then said her large gardening bills were submitted by mistake.
She would be a dreadful Speaker from the taxpayers point of view. She’s no better then the rest of the troughers.
No has claimed for labia piercing yet. Odd, but worth noting.
Indeed, or large-scale yakuza tattoos. You can draw your own conclusions.
I am waiting for the first male MP to claim for piercing Beckett’s labia. A fee in six figures would seem entirely justified.
“her large gardening bills were submitted by mistake”
What kind of hellish claim required her to send her outdoor work underpants to the Fees Office?
They’ve all been at it! Best not to have a speaker but disband parliament, have an election, and let the people (armed with adequate information) decide.
neigh, neigh, and thrice neigh.
W.W.
I think Beckett will win. She has Caligula’s consul precedent on her side.
I hope so.
Buckingham Constituent
Everyone’s entitled to be ugly but Margaret Becket abuses the privilege completely.
Even wearing his lifts he is a wee fella isn’t he?
I bet she gets mistaken for his mum all the time.
He’s only in it for the tights–ask Jules!
Brown’s appearance on Songs of Praise is part of his “fightback”
Another political broadcast!!!!
Should be ‘Pongs of Malaise’
Is this how it works?
“Hello is that the BBC? I’m the Prime Minister and I’m in a bit of jam over my reputation, etc. I need a bit of good PR, so can I be on Songs of Praise? I need to impress the electorate with my integrity and bravery.”
“Certainly Gordon. We’ll send Sally along next week at your convenience.”
if gorgon was going to give us a hymn what woul it be ?
Which convenience would that be? Do you have its postcode?
I hope he’s going to be singing in a presbyterian church. C of E don’t appreciate foreigners in their midst.
@186 well it wouldn’t be Jerusalem would it?
Even the Bible Bashers are not exempt from the propaganda machine.
“And for all of humanities sins the Lord gave us Brown to punish us”
invited liebore guests only then ?
It will be all ” you know my father gave me my moral direction and….blah bloody blah. ” Brown you are a Hypocrite and no amount of sanctimonious drivel can save you. To quote the good Book ” By their DEEDS you shall know them “.
That will be fightback no. 4,653: re-launch no. 8,621 at the last count.
Also, Gormless has ‘drawn a line underneath it and moved on’ 48,000 times since 1997. That could be a record.
OT.
Biased Broadcasting Corporation suppling a Conservative free AM program again. Quelle suprise.
Clegg bullshitting for all he’s worth. He does come across as a particularly odious little creep.
Something wrong with his tone of voice. Is he suffering from a speech defect?

Politics Show….. Local story about Sheffield and the English Democrats mayor who was elected two weeks ago.Both BBC reporters totally and utterly biased about the election of the ED mayor.Of course local NU/Old/Any old Liebor saying that jobs would be lost blah,blah,blah. Then the article about Gay Pride.Which the new mayor objected to.The reporter was alluding to said mayor’s stupidity in not funding it and also to losing heaps of money that said gays would spend in the locality.
I had the misfortune to live near Brockwell Park in the 90s (quite close to Hatty Harperson) .To say that the Gay Pride happening in the park disrupted our lives is an understatement. All the local shops closed.So the argument that local business makes a packet from this event is a fallacy.
Why can’t they hold it in Brighton?
Getting back to the Beeb I have got to stop watching it’s not good for my blood pressure. The good thing is I don’t have to pay a cent towards it.

Did you see those hundreds of Zimbabweans in Southwark Cathedral yesterday to support Morgan Tsvangirae?
They were cheering and supporting him up to the point he said it was time for them all to return to Zimbabwe, upon which they went crazy and tried to lynch the poor fellow. He had to be escorted out the back way by bodyguards while the mob in the church went mad with fury at the suggestion they should leave England.
They don’t want to go home. They’ve got it far too cushy over here ;-)
They’ll be joined by all those Romanian gypsies from Belfast soon.
Leave them all to it. I’m off to Canada permanently next month.
Romanian gypsies…wearing the locals clothes nicked from their clothes lines and riding the local children’s bikes. Ain’t life grand???
A friend tells me that in her part of the world elderly Muslim women are always helping themsleves to vegetables from the local allotments and stealing flowers from front gardens. I suppose they are so used to getting everything free.
Don’t hold yer breath in Canada, they specialise in attracting third world scroungers, believe me I lived there for 20 years
Here’s a link to Tsvangirai being booed when he asked Zimbabwean’s to go home..
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8111132.stm
Yes, its our weather and the Morris dancing that people like.
Or our women!!
Ot the traffic warden uniform?
I thought it was the prospect of a genital cuff applied by Lord Mandelson.
Or hot traffic wardens out of uniform?
On the Jug-ears show this morning, whilst Morgan Tsvangirai was being interviewed, I thought his best comment was (probably paraphrasing): “Over the last ten years, land management in Zimbabwe hasn’t been perfect”.
Understatement of the month.
Say what you see, say what you see!
Talking of not wanting to go home..Why are there still so many South African’s in London? They seem to have taken over the south west part of the city.Shouting at the tops of their voices,clogging up all the bars along the river.What makes me laugh is that they treated the Blacks and Cape Coloured’s like absolute shite. I’ve met quite a few and to say that they have a superiority complex is an understatement.
My sister says they are just as bad down under.I knew a SA girl who had four different passport depending on where she thought she might settle in the world.
Zimbabwe is a totally different matter
Jack Straw is fighting for his political life this morning. He thought he could get away with scapegoating the sacked head of London Probation but now a letter has been revealed which puts Straw firmly in the frame for the incompetence that lead to the murders of those two French students.
Lets hope the slippery commie goes down!
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack is a self serving prick.
Traitor and an injustice. Hows the young druggie, eh, Jack?
leave innocent civilians alone please.
thankyou.
Regretably like every other time this slimeball is caught he slithers away. Bit like a few at the top of NuLab I could mention but certainly Straw is one of the most arroganst self serving twats amongst them.
Don’t hold your breath…
Fire up the Gulfstream!
Any link for this? I want to be present at his political funeral. Crafty piece of slime.
About time too. He’s been up to a lot of naughties.
Tony Benn backs Bercow….bit odd
I don’t care if she was PA to Margaret Thatcher – Tony Blair’s spin Doctor -Mother Teresa’s best pupil or walked on water – I still don’t want Bercow as Speaker!!!
or Shergar.
“Eliminate the impossible and whatever is left over, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”
You have solved the puzzle of what happened to Shergar. By turning him into a (k)night(’s) mare he has been hidden under the noses of the public for years.
Only the dishonourable lot of thieving liars can make up all these dodgy claims. They say that they are mistakes…. mistakes, what alot of bollocks.
They are supposed to be running UK PLC. If they are genuine mistakes, then they are not fit to run a welk stall.
Of course as we all realise they are deliberatly defrauding us all. So when you here them say “It was all a mistake, an error.etc.” LOOK THE ARSEHOLES IN THE EYE, lying thieving patronising bags of shit!!!
Old horse face is no exception, unfit for purpose!
Had a rant!! I feel better now, giong to have a fry up!!
If you indulge in fry ups you will not be allowed to use the NHS.
FRIED WELKS ? YUCK !
Fry ups. So that’s why they are going to let all the pikeys into the doctors in front of me?
I like to look a nice arsehole in the eye.
get me some of those big fat juicy welk’s from the HoC and i’ll flog em !
Run UK PLC? It’s the civil service that runs the country! Mps just live in luscious homes that we’ve provided, eat extravagantly at our expense ( c£400) per month over and above all their other little wheezes, and pretend that they have a hard life running the country. It must be really hard work choosing all those gifts for themselves.
O/T sorry. The Guardian says this morning that Tony is pushing gordon, through intermediaries – GusO’d, Mandy and AlastairC, to hold the Iraq Inquiry in private because Tony fears being subjected to a public show trial.
Senior Labour members are saying that gordon is looking for employment in the EU post GE and needs Tony to help him find it – so he is very anxious to accede to Tony’s requests.
Then gordon announces this morning that he is going to be appearing on Songs of Praise to talk about courage!!!!
Ho Hum.
It must be Courage the brewery.
WHY is he trying to sell that off too ?
Well, it takes courage to drink the stuff!
Bought by the Dutch and the Danes in 2008.

And then the next to land a plum job in the EU will be Cherie. We’ll be forced to watch impotently as Saint Slotgob does her supermarket-sweep act round Brussels with a gold-plated trolley. Euan then jumps on board a few years later with a helping hand yanking him up onto the security of the EU gravy train that steams though the dirty platforms where us plebs wait.
Of course, the Kinnocks are the model for this form of grand larceny.
well put !
I’ve always sworn by your predictions Mystic Meg.
Fucking cυnts!
Quite so!
It will be a first for the Songs Of Praise type audience to chuck things and swear at the telly!
Brown won’t be there mixing with the plebs, it’s not presidential enough.
He will be sitting in the bunker, lapping up the adoration of the hymns he thinks are being sung about him.
What The Courages Gordo on Songs of Praise ! A precurser for the second coming itself ( of Bliar that is ). There ratings will go thru the roof as millions tune in to watch him make another tit of himslef. I might even skyplus it myself !
the ANTI CHRIST ON S of P never !
Here’s one to keep you going:
I can only do about 3 seconds of that video without breaking out into laughter.

Note how all the ‘jobs’ he mentions are all in the tax funded public sector.

Talking of Iraq….. I hear that the two bodies found in Iraq have been confirmed as
the British hostages kidnapped in Iraq some two years ago.Where was the meeja????? Why weren’t ZanuLiebor pressing for their release?
Of course if this had been Binyam Mohamed from Ethiopia or that Nigerian girl Samantha Orabator (she is NOT BRITISH and in fact her mother lives in Dublin) currently being held in Laos on drug charges Max Clifford oooops I mean Clive Stafford Smith and Reprieve would have been fighting for their freedom. She is plastered all over their website.Why weren’t the hostages in Iraq plastered all over Reprieve’s website?
It seems British lives are not worth a tinker’s cuss.
They wasent ethnic enough
They NEVER do underhand deals with foreigners! If you believe that you’ll believe anything!
What deal did they do with Ch*l*bi then just before the Iraq War when ch*l*bi was telling them S*dd*m had wmd that could reach us in 45mins – and why is Dr D*vid K*lly now dead????
I’d like to know that too nell! When are we going to have a genuine and open inquiry about that?
Well Barefoot Contessa – it won’t happen under this Labour govt –
Although the tories have now said that if the Iraq inquiry is held in private they will, when they are elected, make it public.
Maybe there is hope !!!!
is there something wrong with your “A” key ? i have two a big one and a little one !
Unfortunately for Brown he can’t do anything without us wondering what angle he is trying to pull, because there always is an angle with him.
Has there ever been such a despised or chaotic Prime Minister or a more discredited and dishonest government in British history?
They’re running neck and neck with the Vichy government at the moment – the one that didn’t have any influence or status, or even really exist, according the the French. presumably Labour clubs up and down the country in 50 years time will be referring to this period as the Great Redaction of the Noughties.
The Mail talked about him resigning so that his “legacy would be intact“.
I have been trying to think what that legacy would consist of all morning. I still haven’t got a single entry on my list.
Speaking as one of Sir George Young’s constituents, I know from first-hand experience he is an excellent MP. He may be older than most and may be seen as one of the “old guard” but he is unscathed by the expences scandal. The Telegraph tried to brand him a “Tory Grandee” but that is not really the case – he lives in a modest home (compared to, say Prezza), no moat, no duckhouse. He hasn’t claimed for anything mad. He has been publishing his expenses online for years. He’s fairly popular across the House (although I am sure some of the chip-on-their-shoulder Labour stooges will hold his Eaton education against him). Compared to Bercow, SGY is a saint!
Nice of you to take the time to drop by Guido, Sir George.
An Eaton Square perhaps?
Is that what passes for canvassing round your way? God help us. And him.
Eaton? Do you mean Eton?
Or is that like being in Eaton, but not at Eton?
Lolz! You can tell I didn’t got to Eton…
Jeez, apologies for the typos. I am currently battling Windows Vista for my computer and sanity.
Vista? You poor deluded freak Fuck Vista, stick with XP Pro. You know it makes sense.
WASN’T HE AT EATEN ?
We can start worrying when its his Oaten education being referred to here.
Like the Oxford scout’s description of Bullingdon & College Dining Club dinners: “Not so much brought up at Eton, but eaten to be brought up”.
I almost agree. He has dignity. At least he gives the appearance of dignity, not like the rest.
So how much does he pay his daughter to run his office?
“When Sally Met John, She Was Tory”
Well, they’ve both changed – now she’s a Labourite and he’s a heterosexual.
Plus ca change!
NEWSFLASH.
Margaret Beckett favourite to win in two horse race.
She couldn’t win a one horse race.
I’d give her one, but she looks a bit too horsey for me.
ney ye would’t ?
“he is an unprincipled opportunist focused on self-advancement at any price”
So very differnt from Guido then!
and the award for most embarassing MP expense troughing goes to…David Milliband.
David Miliband claimed £50 from the taxpayer for photos of himself line-dancing
Bwahahahahahaha.
and doesnt he look a total prick in the pictures.

what a pratt.
Nonce.
Come on Guido, we need Milliband up on the front page line dancing, can we turn him into one of those Dancing Milliband programs like they did with Dancing Hillary.
I wish Miliband would keep his mouth shut, he’s going to get us nuked by Iran if he doesn’t shut up.
Quick, you’ve got just 45 minutes
Does he ever do ‘come Dancing?’
Sorry, but that man is a total SPAZ
i bet he still went home alone ! rubber faced twat couldn’t pull in a brothel !

Can you play “God save the Queens”?
To which Queens are you referring ???
only on a plastic comb
it started in america !
Surely no sane person would never want such prattish photos published – I must say, he does look rather emmm twattish and more than closet gay
The irony is that the prat probably thought they would make him look normal.
DRRRRRRRRRINK!!!
Sorry, the above got out of place, was a reply to father jack.
I will of course be whipping out my moral compass and waving it at you
Yoohoo! Gordon! Give us an Italian kiss!
It’s like a French kiss, only further south.
i’d rather see him wave his todger at us then we’d see he had on ball’s !
He’s been waving his todger at us for years.
Margaret Beckett walks into a bar, and the barman says “Hey, why the long face?”
I don’t get it.
By the look of your eke, I’m sure you don’t luv.
I know the Mirror isn’t a favourite on here but did anyone see their headline on gordon this morning :
“Gordon tipped for professorship at Harvard or Yale”
Presumably he’s going to lecture on “how to develop communication skills to connect with the electorate.” !!!!
Well it certainly wont be a professorship on Hostage Negotiation.
A bit harsh but true – does the spineless cnut not know that we have the best special forces in the world?
I bet the SAS and SBS were itching for a go at that one, but no, we have two bodies dumped at our Embassy instead
How many British soldiers died bringing democracy to Iraq, result, more dead Brits.
Sorry question is – is Iraq now democratic??? And why have our lads had to die for it – even if it is??? because it sure as hell was not a threat to us !!!!
wmd 45 mins!!!! – Dr David Kelly proved that was a lie – so what did we go to war for ????
No wonder Bliar and his stooges Alastair and Scarlett and Powell want a private Iraq War Inquiry !!!!

He can leture on “Political Philosophies which ruin economies”. Other than that if they take him on board they are insane.
I don’t think he’ll ever go back to bonnie Scotland, he’s not too popular there ( so
I’m told).
Where’s the Beith? Beith, Beckett and Bercow all mired and Brown uses God to grease his passage
The news that Brown will appear on Songs of Praise made me feel sick! Has Gordon Brown no shame? Oh. I ased this question before. We decided the answer was no…
“Grease his passage”?
What a vile thought….unless your name is Mandelson….
Is millivolt some kind of genetic experiment? where they got a sperm sample and removed the genes for charisma,personality,charm,common sense and intelligence leaving him just enough brain power to wave a banana.
The man is just a hole where a human being should be.
Fondelbottom has a hole where he thinks a human being should be.
Mitch, Mitch can’t you see that this is all part of the masterplan; they want us to plead for a euro foreign office, a euro police force who deal with travellers and anti-social behaviour, euro transport, etc, etc. They dumb down on purpose so we think going all in european will be better than what we have now. When I see Milliband on telly I just want to swat him and I’m a pacifist pretty much. No, UKIP for me. Dave looks like Milliband’s older brother.
Dear Sir Muffy they’ve all gone to sleep except us !!!!
Should we ask Guido to change the thread and see if he can liven them up??
Margaret Becketts husband has refused to comment on her move to speaker a friend said”he is feeling a little hoarse”…….I`l get my coat.
BUM BUM
Feeling a little horse? Still, I suppose if I were married to Beckett and found myself in such desperate sexual straits…
Beckett for speaker = Horses for intercourses
These idiots earn 60k and untold expenses yet can’t afford any decent suits or ties or shirts or shoes.
Simples, they are all fat fuckers troughing at our expense. You’d be a fat bastard spending their ‘allowances’ on the fat of the land too.
There well may be a God.
Ken Livingstone’s house was struck by lightning last week!! Unfortunatley Ken was not at home at the time but it did do his PC hard drive and a light switch. Ken was out at the time.
With the man(woman) upstairs intervening, this may explain why Gordon is so anxious to get to Church.
You can see that it wasn’t just her politics that attracted him to her. My question is: what attracted her to him? Why do women fall for rotters?
Rotter? That’s the nicest thing anyone has said about him all day.
Pricks surely.
Oh no, not Widdecombe.
Never mind Wally, where’s Guido?
Silverstone?
Lord’s?
I haven’t heard a good horse joke all day, and there aren’t any on the internet. Can anyone help?

WHITE HORSE GOES INTO A PUB LANDLORD SAY’S HEY WE’VE GOT A WHISKY NAMED AFTER YOU ! HORSE SAY’S WHAT ERIC !
White horse gallops into a pub. Bartender says ” Whats the panic”? White horse ” I’ve just kicked the farrier in the bollocks and I need to hide behind your whisky”
no sorry it’s beyond me ???
Bloke breaks down at the side of the road. While fiddling hopefully with the engine, a voice says
“the coil lead’s loose”.
He looks up and sees a brown horse and a white horse,
“You can speak?”
“yes” says the brown one, “and your coil lead is loose”.
The guy tightens the coil lead and races off – to the nearest pub.
“Gimme a double – I have just seen the damnest thing, a horse helped me fix my car”
The barman comments, “that would be a brown horse then”
“How did you know?”
“The white one knows f**k all about cars”
White horse goes into Pub and says “Give me a whiskey”
Bartender says “do you know you have a drink named after you”
White horse says “my name’s Ron – whats the drink?”
Bacardi?
Brown really must be a bit of a cock, all the time he was going around telling all who would listen he was the “Iron Chancellor” his fellow MP’s were taking the piss out of the expenses system.
What sort of fucking idiot “FInancial Director” signs off industrial quantities of expenses piss takes?
Gordon – get yourself a job as a teacher and fuck off
Those who ‘can’, do; those who can’t teach.
retd, retired or retarded?
And those who can’t teach, teach PE!
Or those who can’t teach become the PM… eugh
GAURDIAN: He also claims that all the time he was chancellor he had no idea what the bank’s were upto ! he deregulater the bank’s for fuck’s sake!
That explains a lot.
“The Telegraph also says Tory MP John Bercow claimed twice for accountants to complete his tax return, which costs the taxpayer £480 each time.
The paper says that Mr Bercow did not return its calls. ” (BBC News Online)

Fuck off.
galloway–writes for the record
hes supporting bercow–heard it on talk sport
i guess hes not bothered about pic in record then
Galloway also supported BaronessU’s trust fund that seems to have appeared and then disappeared at about the same time that her palace was built.
Didn’t he also have a trust fund for a child in Iraq???? Wat happened to that???
Love these Labour people. Good man!!!!
oh dear, you c’unts better tread very carefully from here-on-in.
I hear mr galloway has access to an excellent libel lawyer who he is not shy to instruct.
and I also understand that his expenses are not in question.
and furthermore I am fairly sure he is not a member of the labour party.
so ’tis a triple blunder by you two cretins.
got a bit trigger happy, eh?
but that is a perfectly understandable mistake for a couple of amateurs like you two jokers to make.
cool your shoes motherfuckers and let us aim our fire upon the guilty, not the innocent.
innit.
thick as thieves – we need to look at facts ( and show curage as gordon says)
1) ‘fatter’ says “galloway writes for the record that he’s supporting bercow”. We on here will make a judgement on that but that’s hardly libellous.
2) I stated that ” galloway supported the BaronessU trust fund -which appeared and then disappeared” – well he did! As did Margaret Moran and Kitty Ussher!
No doubt the Trust fund, it’ssupporters and BaronessU’s other financial affairs will be the subject of investigation by a Court of Law – but nothing said here is particularly controversial!!!!
Galloway looks like a twat, sounds like a twat, associates with twats and he was on big brother, considering all these FACTS I conclude he is a TWAT.
and what was the point of you making the comment you did, nell?
come on you gobby c’unt, spit it out.
don’t go all shy on us now. or were you just attempting to smear the honourable MP, y’know the same kind of tactic that c’unt damian mcbride uses.
you are a cretin nell.
aim at the right targets you fucking sp@stic.
you’ve been smoking too much of the chronic, chronic.
innit.
oh and what party do you support you fucking cripple?
Don’t speak to Nell like that you revolting pig ignorant shit. Learn some manners and respect for your betters.
Thank you NewGirl for that – you and I should share a glass of wine!!!!
thick as thieves – honorable MP’s!!!!???? – are you serious ????- there aren’t any honorable MP’s at the moment – well only a few – Frank Field comes to mind – and maybe Widdy comes close …..
As for your language thick as thieves – I think you need to learn a bit more english – you sound a little like gordon – restricted by the few expressions that you know!!!!
If Galloway is so squeaky clean how did he afford a very nice villa in Portugal on an MP’s salary? Can’t be the expenses.
It’s obviously a lucrative business supporting the Arabs.
Galloway is creepy – and a complete nutter. Utterly bonkers.
poor labour education !!!! NELL 3/10
don’t be silly new girl.
I am intellectually superior to you.
but I do not say I am better than you because that would be vulgar.

We forget that some people have to give the ultimate for democracy.
We are facing a shambles of a government which we shall quite soon overcome – they are facing repression and violence from a regime that talk’s democracy but shoots dissenters.
Awful. I don’t in any way wish to take away the moment of Iran but it will be illegal to disent the EU under Lisbon.
Fuck the EU and fuck Lisbon while they are at it.
I agree Sir Muffy but I don’t think they’ll be shooting us if we do dissent – comforting thought.
Campbell has said, even if Lisbon is ratified before he comes into office, he will still help us oppose it –
I hope he’s as good as his word!!!!
Well of course I meant Cameron!!!!

LOL – Peter Hain just got soaked by champagne on the Grand Prix podium!!
He was presenting one of the trophies and obviously didn’t realise they spray the stuff around afterwards, everyone else left quickly but the stupid Hoon had to run accross the podium as the spraying started!!!
Wtf was the bastard doing there in the first place? Hoon.
Liebour Hoons can sniff free champaign from 100 miles away.
Pink Champaign shirley?
chronic not shirley.
He should be used to getting sprayed by the white stuff by now.
That must have been a first, running away from free stuff.
Serious Government PR.
Using the media to promote the connection between Labour and Champagne at every opportunity is Labour policy. And it also helps gordon’s petition with Monsieur Sarkozy who is going to help him get a job in the EU post GE.
Champagne Socialists to the end!!!!
any chance to get their fizzers on camera scum !
Someone’s posted the video, not the best quality but look at about 53 seconds as the stupid Hoon runs through the champagne spray to get off the podium. :-)
Just some of Sir George Young’s Piggery from the DT
The MP also claimed more than £4,000 in expenses to advertise in 15 different magazines in his constituency.
The following January, In August 2007, he found himself in dispute with the fees office after it asked him to remove parts of his website which gave a commentary on the results of the 1997, 2001 and 2005 general elections.
Officers said they were not acceptable on a publicly funded website, because they were too political.
For the past two years the Old Etonian, who is chairman of the standards and privileges committee, has also claimed the maximum second home allowance on his London flat.
By far his biggest outgoing was the interest repayments on the flat he bought for £397,000 in 2005, which averaged more than £1,400 a month.
Sir George also claims the full rate of council tax on the band G property, which amounted to £1,146 in 2008-09, even though he would be eligible for a discount because it is his second home.
Other claims included a £699 washer-dryer (reduced to £500 by the fees office) and a £449 dishwasher (reduced to £375).
Sir George told The Sunday Telegraph: “I purchased a second hand video recorder so I could post clips of my work as an MP on YouTube. It has not been used for private purposes.
The former Cabinet minister is not the only member of his family to benefit from his taxpayer-funded expenses; he employs his daughter Camilla as his office manager. Although her salary is not declared, Sir George paid his staff a total of £83,682 last year.
Sir George Young claimed £127,000 on London flat
Sir George, the 6th Baronet of his family, whose motto is Be Right and Persist, has been an MP since 1974 and served as a junior health minister and environment minister in Baroness Thatcher’s government. He later joined a backbench rebellion against the poll tax, though he was brought back into the fold as a party whip. He served as transport secretary in the final years of John Major’s government.
I’m going off him already. And I was the only one who wanted him in the first place!
Would a link to this blog on an MP’s publicly funded website be acceptable to the Fees Office?
They might pick it up in a year or two. Or not.
OK I’ve woken from my Sunday afternoon nap and decided it’s time to read some Sunday papers.
According to The People today (I’d almost forgotten that paper existed!!) – “a police source has said – re; MP’s and Lord’s expenses – that charges are almost certain in five cases – seven others are under very serious investigation – and others may follow.” Well thank you God!!
Apparently, on top of claiming for her empty Maidstone flat the BaronessU has also claimed £83000 for a property which did not exist.
Oh Dear!!!! – question is – should these people go to prison or should they be tagged?? And should she be let back into the HoL afterwards?? If not of course she will eventually scuttle off to her italian marble palace in Bangladesh – wont she??? No justice there – unless the British Govt tries to claim reparation from Bangladesh!!!! So why did Tony make her a Peer of our House of Lords????
Be thankful for small mercies. How much would she have charged if the palce existed?

This has got about as much truth as the other story from “Labour Sources”- that it was Blair that wanted the Iraq Enquiry to be held in private. It’s all a load of bollocks !!!!
There are a lot of rude comments here about Peter Mandelson, the Lord High Everything Else, but does anybody here actually know the man? What is he like in private? What are his friends like? Have any of you penetrated his intimate circle?

Back in the old days the contrast between right and left was huge it would of been unthinkable to jump the fence but it just goes to show if one can change sides so care free these days how bankrupt the ideologies and politics have become and how crooked the participants actually are.
Try telling people in the past you could barely get a fag paper through the differences in left and right politics in the future and you would of been carted away by the men in white coats.
Murder, plain and simple.
Police chiefs sent a curt warning to officers not to use excessive force with the homeless – just two weeks before undercover celebrities slept on the streets for a TV documentary.
It read: ‘It is intended that celebrities will bed down with homeless persons and survive on the streets…
‘Please act professionally at all times. If you are conducting stop and account or stop and search, please comply fully with police and criminal evidence act rules and, if you have to use force during an arrest, please be sure that the level is proportionate.’

Beckett’s justification for having her gardening paid out of the public purse was that she was too busy to do it because of her job.
Following that logic, anyone else who works hard should also have their gardening paid for by the tax payer too.
Also following that logic, if you’re too busy then you should also get all your clothes washed/ironed, your washing-up done, and your house cleaned by the tax payer too. Oh, I forgot; they did that too.
What part of “you fucking wankers” don’t you MPs understand? Trying to justify these claims is just making things worse; admit that all these types of claims were grossly unreasonable, and also illegal (classing them as “expenses” rather than “perks” is blatant tax fraud), and then perhaps we (the tax payers) can move on, kick you out, and get a fresh batch of MPs in place who will be prepared to stick to the same basic tax laws as everyone else in the country has to.
Any MPs who are reading this and are still trying to justify these things; stop now, and just shoot yourself in the fucking head please.
It is only The Telegraph, in the MSM, that has identified the real reason for Beckett being unacceptable to the public as Speaker. It is not her claim for hanging baskets, nor even her the size of her second home allowances whilst enjoying a grace and favour Whitehall apartment. It is her failure to understand or accept the public’s anger at her troughing; her refusal to apologise or make good her errors; and, her continued mendacity in trying to pass off her errors as one-off mistakes caused by her busy life, when her ‘previous’ is a matter of public record.
Sky News talks of the focus on the expense claims of Speaker candidates as revealing nothing new. Perhaps they should shift the focus to how each candidates has responded to these revelations. Or is reshowing a clip of Beckett’s performance on BBC’s Question Time just one step too far for Murdoch?
Spotted by someone on Ian Dales blog. At the back standing next to a woman in a blue cardigan. Is this Bercow making a wanker gesture?
No it is Shahid Malik.
And Shahid Malik is supporting Bercow for Speaker!
Who’s that Tom Watson lookalike on the right?
And the only time he got his leg over was when she said that there was a split in the Labour party, and if the Conservative member stood, he might get in.
Hannan is on to it – Mandy is keeping Brown tied to the wheel and thereby preventing the Conservatives promised referendum on Lisbon – Mandy and the Euroscum will now use every dirty trick in the book (and then some) to get (blackmail) the Irish to vote Yes to Lisbon.
Game, set and match before we are allowed our vote?
Guido,
As I’m sure you know more about this topic than most of us here, a simple question…
Given that there will be a massive EU-funded “YES” campaign in Ireland before the referendum, how does one go about making a donation of money or time to help the “NO” campaign? Is there a single campaign or are anti-EU parties such as Libertas doing their own thing?
Frank Field says he is going to vote for Widdy tomorrow as Speaker because she’s the only one who can rebuild the bridge between MP’s and the electorate.
Trouble is most Labour MP’s just want to trash the commons for the incoming Tory Govt , so are going to vote for Bercow, (an extension of gordon’s burnt earth – destroy everything before we go- economics policy).
What do any of them care for the integrity of the HoC anyway . Most of them, who have already shown that they have no honour, are going to be voted out at the next GE anyway.
If Labour MP’s do vote for the wrong speaker tomorrow then the public will have to mount a grassroots campaign to get whoever is votes in removed at the next election. An independent celeb could easily stand in Beckett or Bercow’s seat and win it.
There might be a longstanding convention (or stitch up) between the parties not to challenge the Speaker, but as far as the public go, those days are over.
To vote a trougher in as Speaker would be yet another slap in the face for the electorate. Just how many more do MP’s think they can get away with?
I don’t know if it is possible for anyone to stand against an MP, in their constituency, who has been elected as the Speaker ????
Perhaps someone could tell us – I understood that once they were the Speaker they are protected from any challenges in their constituency. The idea being that they can remain the Speaker until they choose to retire from political life.
(One can see why that would appeal to a young manipulative man like Berc*w – a troughing job for life – so to speak!!!!)
I think it is wrong – but what are the regulations and can they be challenged ????
Wikipedia:
“At the general election (if the current Speaker contests that election) the major opposition parties normally do not contest the Speaker’s seat and he is entitled to describe himself on the ballot as “The Speaker seeking re-election”, under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act.
This convention has not been respected by the Scottish National Party since the election of Michael Martin to the office for the constituencies of Glasgow Springburn in 2001 and Glasgow North East in 2005.”
UKIP, Greens or British Naughty Party seem the only realistic options? Such a stunt might work against Beckett but Bercow is a nonentity to the great British Public and therefore unlikely to stir a Buckinghamshire electorate. Now if he had a Glasgow seat ….
it strikes me that there is no scottish candidate for the post of speaker which is a real pity.it would give everyone a chance to see a more positive side of our caledonian representatives than that shown so far.Is it too late for a low flying Jimmy to parachute in??
There is no positive side to Scottish nepotism
Tony Blair
Gordon Brown
Alastair Darling
Michael Martin
Fred Goodwin
etc etc etc
Need I go on?
You’ve probably already made your minds up – spitefull bunch of arseholes that you are. But if you have even a grain of common sense left, don’t vote Bercow. The public already think you’re a bunch of chickenshit, yellow, losers. Voting for someone just to spite the next Government really will confirm it.
Get the old boiler Widders in there. She’s a good egg… will sort things out and, you know what? She’ll be scrupulously fair. To all sides. She has the public trust.
Give the scorched earth policy a rest, and for once in your sad, stinking, miserable self-serving lives, do something for the right reasons eh?
Have a nice day.
Hear Hear.
I fear we won’t get Widdecombe. What we must get though is enough Tory MPs declaring support for her and pointing out to the public that she would have won had it not been for the Liebore Party.
If Beckett is first past the post, a Stewards Inquiry must follow.
I don’t know how Beckett even has the brass neck to stand giving her troughing record. It shows quite clearly that Labour still don’t get it.
Maybe they DO get it? They just hold us in contempt. How could they not get it. To accuse them of arrogance is letting them off I feel.
They just don’t give a shit. They do what they want and we squeal but they are laughing all the way to the Lords…
And the point of that was….? Stupid arseholes. It wasn’t even funny.
It’s just the sort of no nonsense cut-the-crap approach the public are expecting from the new Speaker.
No “I’m getting on with the job…”
No “It started in America…”
No “What the public wants…”
No “What I have heard on the doorstep…”
No excuses
No obfuscation
No exaggeration
No deviation
No hesitation
I can’t wait to see her dealing with bullshit MP’s when she is Speaker
Hi Guido, guys and girls. The link I have here is topical as the contestants in the Speaker recruitment programme know Tony Blair and they all shared the same house. Thank you.

The Times website reckons Beckett is being pushed by Nick Browshirt and his henchmen,whilst Grauniad is saying George Young being pushed by those that don’t want the caravan plant lover. Then there are the Labour Bercow supporters. All a bit bonkers.
gordon is expressing his sympathy over the murders of two of the British workers who were kidnapped in Iraq in 2007, on BBC tonight.
Empty words!!!!
Sorry!!!! But it’s a disgrace that the Foreign Office made no attempt to free them!!!!
Widdicombe all the way!
Bercow for speaker can only mean sleaze writ large.
Gordon Brown, Nick Brown, Chris Smith, Peter Mandelson, Ben Bradshaw, Chris Bryant etc ad nauseum………..
Hey come on -we have nothing against gays!!!!
Troughing the system at our expense, failing to pay cgt, claiming for non-existent expenses and trashing the economy – well that’s a different matter!!!!
