Guido Laid Widdecombe
That is not something many can say. Laid her at the bookies on Betfair of course. Selling her price down….
UPDATE : Sir George Young has gone favourite in late betting.

John Higginson of the Metro explains Quantitative Easing:
“There is £100 and 100 loaves of bread costing £1 each. QE creates another £100. Each loaf now costs £2.”
DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
I don’t understand bookie talk…
Innuendo headline of the day there Guido!
Scallywag, if you ‘lay’ a candidate, it means you bet against them, so Guido gets paid if Widdy is NOT elected speaker, laying is like betting in reverse really!
Well, it made me laugh! Well done Guido for boldly going where no man has gone before.
apparently she does have a beautiful pussy.
I thought that was Mrs Slocombe!
it was similar to hers im told, but she was more free than our widdi
Returned Unopened
These Fenian gets come over here despoiling our beautiful virgins!
And Guido gets Widdle! There is justice in this world!!
According to Ken Dodd an innuendo is an Italian suppository.
and a speciman is an italian astronaut!
“lay a bet” is the opposite of “place a bet”. So normally you place the bet and the bookie lays it.
Still a very small betting pool so the bookies can easily take a hit on this speculative stuff. The bookies aren’t always right and with this kind of bet they are usually wrong.
Gambling. Thats bookie talk. The people of this country took a gamble when they voted for these politicians, and we LOST!!! Hitler or Stalin would have been proud of the misinformation the whitewash enquiries and the way the Police have been organised to wage War on the People. Well done Thatcher and your Bastard Son Blair. Thanks for stamping on the memories of the freedom fighters of the second world war. The Nazi’s got their way in the end
For an instant, a hideous image flashed before my eyes.
Is there enough bleach in the world to clear it?
Quite amusing if you have a strong enough stomach.
Did you use one bag or two?
The Penguin
Don’t MP’s use envelopes?
Rather fuck her than fight her…..
Rather fuck Julie Kirkbride
She proper dorty
“That is not something many can say”
Or, to be fair, would want to…
Widdy, The only sensible choice for speaker … which mean she stands no chance. The majority of MP’s are just too stupid and self centred to get it.
She seems popular on BBC censor your say

BBC: Who should become Speaker?
Only because most people recognise her and she ain’t Margaret Becket.
Correct – though I’ve heard Sir George Young is one of the few decent people in the H of C, as is Ms Widdecombe. Both are intelligent, which is more than can be said for the ugliest woman in the northern hemisphere. That, of course, is precisely why Our Noble “Lord” Sleaze of Bumboy wants to grab her by the fetlock and drag her to the Speaker’s chair. At least she gets her oats EVERY night!
Good call shithead. The hereditary Sir and the barmy Ann are genuinely decent people. Not many in HoC.
Good ol’ cyclebart. he knew which way the wind was blowing in Ealing and got the hell out and now he finds a way to ensure that he does not even need to face an election.
certainly so far has seemed the one who could do an honest job , although i had wondered how patrick cormack might have done .
as good as any bet guido , see what the hoons have been lobbying
dont upset dale hes got £100 on hazelhurst
Nor would admit to.
so you would rather the dog control the pigs in their sty rather than the horse?
A Rottweiler rather than a clydesdale? Of course!
I think given the fact that margaret beckett was booed on question time and also ann widdecombe is going at the next election thye should vote her in the chair to make the required reforms as she is retiring she will have no axe to grind and will be prepared to make the required decisions. come on widdecome shouting order order that would shut the “honorable” members up.
but dont forget, you are not voting, only the little piggies are and what they want is more food, not less. i still say the horse will end up in charge of the pigs cos that’s what gordon pig wants and none of them want to lose their livelihoods do they? These pigs are a breed apart from normal pigs don’t forget. This particular sty has taken over 5 years to achieve and all the little pigs don’t want to get carted off to the abbatoir now do they? All ready to save their bacon.
Old etonian dinosaur and world class trougher Sir George Young is a HUGE piggy.
So if he somehow gets by the Labour backbenches then the piggies can rest VERY easy indeed. A triumph of the porkbuster.
Eh?
they are all huge piggies, all in their corrupt cesspit sty, every single one of them. I wouldnt go near any one of them, well you coulndt the stench would be too great
Why should turkeys vote for Christmas?Beckett is an incompetent and arrogant chiseller.In other words,she is an ideal candidate for them.
It’s a stitch up, like everything else in the HoC. They’re trying to persuade us that in some way there will be a choice – the usual political claptrap, deceit, obfuscation, etc etc etc ( and all of it bad).
The only non-crook in the deck!It’s Widders by a mile!
Wrong – Richard Shepherd is also honest and a long-standing Parliamentarian with integrity and an unfailing interest in how the House should represent, and be the voice of ‘ we, the people’. He’ll be out in the 1st round, of course.
Championing the cause of a rabid right-wing nutter such as widdicombe illustrates the depths of despair to which the english parliament has sunk.
The woman is as mentally stable as, well, Guido…
Fucking delicious!
mentally stable as all those other little piggies in the sty, just one big cesspit, absolutely full of self seeking glutoness pigs, all on the make, with other peoples money. Would be better if that guy fawkes blew it all up.
Blimey, have you been having one of Her Majesty’s holidays, Fucking Delirious?
The Penguin
Sorry to disappoint Pernguin old chap, but Im a crime-free zone, and have been busy rather than incarcerated.
Besides, as a nat I do not recognise the british courts; and it seems that your courts don’t recognise the troughing bastards in westminister…
Fucking delicious!
When young, at LMH, she was indeed quite pretty.
Wasn’t she at St Huge?
St Cakes?

St Aines?
St Uffing?
Ah, Quis paget entrat.
Nah, LMH.
St Hughs were all smelly leftie seriousness and earnestness, and they didn’t wash their knickers properly between fortnights.

Wot ya mean, fuck you? Not nice!
Thank you.
Was She not a Hildabeast?
For anyone thinking of backing Widdy on BetFair – don’t. There is an exclusion on temporary or interim Speaker.
Widdy has said she will just be there until the GE so this applies to her.
You will be throwing your money away.
Beats having it stolen eh?
At least you have the choice.
Guido Fawkes, Guido Fawkes, lend me thy grey mare,
For I am a-going to Widdecombe fair,
(add names of those we don’t like)
…. and Uncle Gordon Brown and all, and uncle Gordon Brown and all
As I pointed out here so eruditely yesterday, the fair is actually held at Widecombe in Devon – Widdecombe is the old name for the village.
With Tony McNulty, Alastair Darling, Peter Hain, Ed Balls. David Miliband, Harriet Harman
Old One-eyed Gord Brown and all….
No doubt the old mare would lay down and die at the thought of that lot.
Papist plot
the horse is naying now live neigh neigh neigh, such an honest horse, cant watch it any more, going for a swim down to obama beach…..
Oh Guido, I know you get fed up but surely not that hard up. Mind you, she could well surprise you
Oh Christ!!!
Beckett on SKY as I write, pleading her case.
First time I’ve heard that voice not telling everyone else what she wants done.
All the sincerity of a double glazing salesman.
Not so STRIDENT, Mrs. Buckett !! You’ll make yourself hoarse….
prostituting herself in front of all those little piggies in the cesspit sty, christ what a stench, the thing is though they really believe what they are saying
All about herself and what a fine candidate she think she is (Gordon promised me the job).
Nothing about what sort of HoC she wants to develop, because she wants it to stay as it is, a corrupt rubber stamp for the executive.
The truth will out!. LOL.
You only did it so you could write it.
With apologies to Widdecombe Fair………..
Mr. Beckett, Mr. Beckett, lend me thy gray mare
Ri fol lol the dol diddle i doe

Buckett: “I pledge myself to facilitate DESIRED change”.
Whose desires?
While Widdy is a conceited old bat who loves the sound of her own voice and is an anathema to the rural rump of the Tory party, beckett is a right up there with the most evil , wicked , and despicable of the nulab crims.
This is a woman without a shred of ability, conscience or moral scruple. A labour tribalist to the very core, she did untold damage during her spell at Min Ag and managed to embarass the whole country during her FO tenure, letting the rag heads walk off with half the navy.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?
**** CRACK ****
Mirror, Mirror who is the fairest of them all?
Margaret Becket
Mirror, Mirror who is the fairest of them all?
Margaret Becket
F**K that for an answer The Sun has got Danni, 22, from Coventry (Where Beckett should be sent!)
Yes. I heard that too. If they don’t desire change it won’t happen.
That will be a LieBaaaaa pledge then.
“I’ve never been afraid to speak truth to power..”
“Her own woman.”
Is she reading Widdies speach?
Certainly isn’t relevant to her.
Fucking incompetentg at DEFRA and fucking useless and embarrassing at FCO. Put her out to grass.

Send her to France, they “recycle” the knackered into something useful there.

Was it each way?
he could have laid her many ways, proably straight over the counter was the easiest and quickest i guess
All close your eyes and concentrate really hard and repeat several times
“Becket for Speaker, Becket for Speaker …….”
If she was elected Speaker the Country would rid themselves of Labour for ever. No more bankrupting of Britain and ‘Big Government’ every 20 years or so.
After these reports of Becket’s activities, Henry is said to have raised his head from his sickbed and roared a lament of frustration. “What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and brought up in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt – off with her head!”
In whose bed shall we place the horse’s head ??
as long as that haselhurst prick doesn’t get it i don’t mind. Insufferable jumped up oik
Sir George Young is probably the one they would all be happy with anyway, the Tories because he isn’t John Bercow, Labour because he won’t do anything silly like sort out the expenses once and for all (and can be denounced as a Tory Toff if anything further goes wrong), and both parties will like the fact that the public haven’t a clue who he is, and that he hasn’t been booed on Question Time.
Widders speaking without notes and impressive
Good sound bites for MSM news bulletins. That is probably more important than her winning the vote.
Think you may be right about Shepherd as Speaker. Widders was good but Shepherd more so.
Don’t worry, Martin Bormann has organised the “correct” choice to be proclaimed.
I tend to agree.
I was very impressed with Shepherd. Even more so knowing that he is a eurosceptic.
Becket gave the worst speech of the lot I thought.
Bercow was mildly amusing but wouldn’t like to see him get the job.
Shepherd or Widders for me.
There was a new lord named Mandy
With men he is quite randy
Along came Brown
& pulled his pants down
& gave him a lovely hand shandy!
I thank you…..
Whacko for Widdy.
She is the best.
Don’t be afraid, relax!
I bet Widdecome takes the colour out of the mattress when she has had a curry
or adds subtle shades of brown & yellow to it…
So they think things are tough in Iran, rigged elections, filming police frowned on and protestors sent packing.
In Brown’s Britain you don’t get an election to rig, you are locked up for days without charge for filming the plod and protestors are beaten to death by anonymous coppers.
Keep up the good work, Gordon…
I’ve yet to see the evidence of ‘rigged’ elections in Iran.
Last election a judge described the electoral practice in Britain as ‘worthy of a banana republic’.
The last three US elections have been a travesty.
Makes you think!!
Fifty or more electoral areas in Iran had more votes cast than there were eligible voters.
This did not of course affect the outcome of the election.
Unless you take into account all the other areas where the vote was rigged and the riggers were more arithmetically capable.
Thick rag-heads – all illiterate!
They managed to count a hojillion votes in about half an hour. This is only possible if you know the result in advance.
They haven’t learned a thing.
Bring on the tumbrils.
Beith terrible speech. Bercow just starting and trying to be funny.
Beith was always a no-hoper for the job…
What do you expect from a limp dum FFS?
Bercow speaking now – he really is a prize cnut isn’t he?
What an oily little creep! Has anyone noticed he exhibits similar jaw movements to Lord Fondlebum of Boy?
The clue is actually in in his name..Berk…oh…
Widders shaking her head behind Bercow
Rightly so – when are we going to see the first LIVE ON AIR murder in the Commons?
They have so many weapons to choose from to kill each other;
a Duck Island has got to hurt if thrown from the back benches
A chain saw for logs will be a really effective one
Tampons rammed down the throat?
£8500 B&O TV could hurt if thrown by Kaufman from where he sits
60 metres of shelving collapsing on you has got to kill
The list is endless…..
um
have you told your wife about this secret preoccupation with Widdi’s body?
if not, better destroy the photos quick and pretend it never happened
no-one here will tell for sure.
Its a shoe in for Beckett, or to be more accurate a whip in.
McStalin doesn’t like elections unless they got more rigging then a 19th century tea clipper.
“I hereby announce the results of the secret ballot of MP’s for a new speaker. Of the 863 votes cast, 435 were for…..”
I never go down.
“They shall not pass” double elastic and double thickness.
Treble interwoven leg elastic (no sneaky through the knickerleg incursions).
I am blast proof, bomb proof and fart proof.
And never claimed for on expenses!
Widders knickers permit no fingers
Remember she’s MP for Madeofstone & Willnot

Widders gets her pussy out in the garden….
http://www.political.co.uk/annwiddecombe/video/widdeovideo1_large.wmv
Stop it – the laughing hurts too much….
Is it true that Widders is one of the 72 virgins the jihadists get after a suicide bomb? And out of interest, what does their instructor get?
You never see a poor bookie. Or an MP for that matter.
and to think that your votes actually put all those little piggies in that sty, after all they wouldnt be there if not would they?
I fucking hate being left behind posting on an empty board. It ain’t right, you hear?
Ah, Shepherd, the man on the rails
Agreed. But isn’t he Victor Meldrew with one foot in the grave?
he is a decent man
That’s my dad George on the rails!
they are all special little piggies, a class above all of us , fukcin hell god help us, listen to them all, burn the fuckin place down and start all over again, they are even talking about democracy, you couldnt make it up.
I was hoping that Widdecombe would squeeze by on the inside rail. Not much chance of that with the weight she is carrying.
Sir Lester, it’s going to be the Buckett woman wearing the pigskin noseband coming the inside with a late spurt. She’s handicapped with all the extra flower baskets but she’s used carrying all the extra Taxpayers’ pounds.
The more they cock it up with their ‘politically motivated’ ditherings the longer it will take for the stink of the expenses scandal to go. They just don’t get it.
Choose the best speaker not the ‘right’ speaker
THE PUBLIC ARE SICK OF ALL THIS NONSENSE AND WILL SEE IT OUT THIS TIME.
what do you mean, see it out…..
Ann Widdecombe – born to be Speaker of the House.
Guido. Was she on top?
Money back if you roll off…..
Ann Widdecombe: “A body like a badly packed sandbag”
From Russia With Love.
Ian Fleming – a quote for every occasion. And MP.
Just what you need when the floodwaters are lapping at your doors.
Well, Guido, Widders has given the best speech so far IMNSHO and we’re nearly all through… Cormack is Blathering on now.
Creamer? I bet he does!
Sir Patrick Cormack … what a pompous self-important twat! This is the Huhne who claimed expenses for household bills at both his main and second home. Oink, Oink!!
Live Video coverage of the Speaker’s Election Hustings
Oh! What fun!
They are pushing for an increase in salaries!
“If we can’t have our perks, we want more money!” is the cry.
Isn’t that an admission that they were breaking the law by using expenses to supplement income?
If that’s the case why have all of these obscure and pointless “ministers”, on significantly more salary than an ordinary MP, been troughing as well?
Bastards.
Quiet in court!
haselhurst is better than I expected…
At being a complete tosser?
Sir George Young is now favourite, the biggest claimer of Additional Costs Allowance for the past two years. Granted, he’s not a big claimer overall, but still. I’m not sure he’s the best to tackle the expenses issue.
He’s voted both for & against a transparent Parliament. What a shame, they’re going for the same old, same old.
I do hope not. I looked up the betting too, and he’s still running first. Let’s have Widders, for now at least. She could get a lot honourably done in a short time…
I missed Bercow’s effort… a neighbour came in and I couldn’t very well shoo her out the door. She brought me a cabbage!
If she bought you a cabbage, surely it was about the same as watching Bercow?
Don’t worry. The cabbage will win.
The cabbage is reeeelly useful, which is more than I could say for the Berk.
James Landale says George Young’s speech was best. Me, I still say Widders… though Young was honest-sounding and self deprecating… as befits a toff… They have to defer… without actually grovelling.
Beckett was chilly, and mechanical, and uninspiring… She CAN’T win… She MUSTN’T!
“Crackerjack”!!
The best compromise.
Haselhurst just included ACA “expenses” as part of renumeration!!
Oooops…..
This arsehole said in a TV interview this am,when the interviewer mentioned that he had been caught in the expenses scandal;
“Well,we all have haven’t we?”…..
No they fucking haven’t – you out of touch moron.
Anne was actually quite a stunner when she was young (and no, I don’t mean she carried a tazer!). In fact, she looked like a raunchy version of Snow White!
You’ll be telling us that la Beckett was Miss Norwich 1957 next…
…the thought of Beckett in a swimsuit…oh dear……bleugh…another….bleuuuuuugh……..bit better now
No, but she did get best of breed
Miss Wapping.
This current Labour candidate sounds like a right twat! What’s he arguing for debates in Sainsburys and Yoof Clubs?
Parmjit Dhanda ‘s doing a fine job.
he was totally different from all the others, good
Very good speech. He’s obviously been reading this blog.
Certainly the surprise package of all the candidates. He says that the Hoonourable Members really don’t “Get It” and he’s right.
He spoke fluently with no notes as well, very honest and candid.
As for Berkoff – he had to keep looking at some notes that seemed to be held by Julian what’s his name from New Forest (tried to keep all expenses secret).
Berkoff comes from the same school as Adolf Ball’s,with less poison.
Parmjit Dhanda overclaimed for his mortgage
Don’t mind Dhanda standing, but he is warbling on a bit, and he’s not going to win… Get on with the voting, I say… Now he’s going on about ‘what my father always said to me’… etc… Am damned annoyed I missed the Berk’s effort…
Dhanda had interesting things to say but I just didn’t like the sound of his voice. Fickle I know considering I’d like Widders to get the job but there ya go.
Dhanda was really quite good. Oh god, Balls is hovering around the Father of the House and he is looking very very sinister
did you know there so many different types of british pigs?
Rare Breed Pigs like the Tamworth, British Saddleback, Berkshire, Middle White, Gloucestershire Old Spots, British Lop, Oxford Sandy and Black and Large Black
There is a website called pig par know that they are being impersonated.adise, I wonder if the little piggies in styminster
You forget the Backbenchers, Junior Ministers, Shadow Cabinet, Committee Chairs and the Cabinet…
Margaret Beckett is like an infestation of ground elder. You think you have destroyed it & will never see it again, but it keeps reappearing. Please can someone just dowse her in Round Up – that’s supposed to do the trick.
If you just spray it will appear to die but then new shoots will grow from the existing roots. So the plant will survive and be just the same as the one you thought you had killed.
The only way to get rid of it permanently is to dig deep and take all the roots out and then the healthy plants will prosper.
A good spray dose of ‘Old Fortnight’ ie. the contents of Madge & Leo’s Kemical Khazi from their summer hols diluted down at 2:1 ratio with water always does the trick !!
Napalm always works for me.
Just read the headline and threw up a little.
I’ve just listened to Williams who says certain letters of alphabet go to one lobby and others to another. What a bloody stupid thing to do – any one watching will know that for e.g. anyone entering h to w Lobby will not be voting for Beckett!!!!! secret ballot my arse.
Didn’t he mean the voters surnames? Not the surnames of the candidates?
Watching Adolf Balls behind the chair – baseball bat hidden down his trousers.
Brown looks more crumpled and battered than ever – fraudster and conman
It’s really like watching the Pathe news reels of the Nuremburg Trials – unfortunately none of these crooks have a cyanide pull to bite on – SHAME!
Watched my MP – claimed £238 for a Chainsaw for logs and £25 for vases and thousands for gardening – the bastard had bought a £2m house without getting even a mortgage,such is his wealth. SCUM.
The whole lot sicken me – out of date,out of ideas,out of ordure,out of bounds and out of their fucking heads with power – a curse on all their 2nd and 3rd and 4th houses the lot of them.
beckett wasnt in browns government because she was being lined up as speaker by liebour. well thought out plan….. as long as she wins.
Interesting point made on Sky. Members were getting restless towards the end of the pitches and the ones who got to pitch first had the advantage. Beckett was first. If their names were picked out of a hat, she certainly got first prize as favourite to win. By the time they got to No 7, I noticed some MP’s had started to leave.
That’s how interested they are in change.
Becketts very cold speech may have been listened to, but it was listened to in silence… as if the head teacher was about to give out the names of those to be put in detention.
They were getting restless cos they are used to being in the Common’s bars at this time – I worked there and know there are a large number of alcoholics amongst that lot of crooks.
If the horse/woman wins then it really is time to emigrate.
The time to emigrate was when ZaNuLab won again in 2005!
Yep! – And I’m not coming back until we have a change of government
Wait until it gets better first.
Under the rules of Parliament they were meant to draw lots to decide speaking order. Did they?
John Mann spoilt his ballot paper as all dreadful, he says.
He’s on Sky now, says that they’re all a bunch of Hoons and none of them actually get it!!
It would be cute if Williams announced that Dennis Skinner had the job by means of spoiled ballot papers and write-ins… No… forget it…
I guess it will be Young…
Hmmm @ John Mann, seems like he’s making a bit of a stand. Good for him if he’s being altruistic in his intentions.
It’s only because he can’t read the names.
John Mann claimed £700 rent a month for second home in London in 2004-05. Regular claims for newspapers and unspecified “household requisites”. A year later, claimed room in Premier Inn while repairs done at flat
is it me..or is Mann a fucking dickhead?
This from a man who claimed £4.99 for an IKEA childs tent.
Expenses PDF (Page 9)
IKEA Koja Tent
It’s probably a second office…. I can’t see the “racking” he bought in there though.
Trougher.
“Serial requisites”: £120 a month. WTF??
Food: £300 – £400 a month
Cleaning bills, newspaper bills.
I just went to the front page, this thread doesn’t exist any more??
In, out, in out.
Back again.
It does that from time to time, I noticed it when the expenses stories were all there last week – probably to do with visitor numbers which are probably quite high now…
Perhaps that means the head intends to rap everyone’s Knuckles.
My money’s on Hazelhurst
Ronnie?
I have placed a £249.99 cash bet on Beckett. If I lose then I’ll just rent Office 3 for the same amount.
John Mann “spoils his ballot”, Sky News say. Good, that’s one Labour stooge we don’t have to worry about. The candidates were ‘dysmal’, he claims.
If he thought the candidates were so poor, why didn’t he stand, then? If he spoiled his ballot paper over something as important as this, he can’t complain, can he.
I wonder how many other ballot papers were spoiled.
Al of those with a cross against Beckett or Bercow were, in my opinion.
No chance for Mr Ed Guido?
Dear Guido
When I read the line ‘Guido laid Widdecombe’, I thought, very frightening then it transpired that you put money on her in a bet.
Britain is in trouble finanical but there maybe a bit of cash to see that xxx tape if you are looking for a few bucks.
The sick stuff always attracts a healthy market!
Yours sincerely

Didn’t Richard Shepherd play Mr Slugworth in the original Willy Wonka film? We don’t want to scare the children do we?
I thought Shepherd’s pitch was the one delivered with the most conviction. Doubt he’ll get it, though.
I agree – passionate and with conviction (most of those 648 need to be conVICTED) – but Richard is too old and will appear like the old school – a shame.
Guido isn’t the first to find Widdecombe fair. There were Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy, Harry Hawk and Uncle Tom Cobbleigh.
You missed one. Dan’l Whiddon.
Guido may have laid Widdecombe but at what price?
I’ve got her at 33:1 to be the next Speaker. Bet placed on the day Martin resigned.
May you be a lucky winner at those great odds.
Would be a great story if you had bet ,say £100,000 – set for life thanks to Ann Widdecombe!
If you had a hundred grand that you were prepared to bet at those odds, chances are you were set up for life well before now!!
Unfortunately it was just £25 that I had hanging around in a Ladbrokes account after a win on the Grand National.
However, as a very occasional better – just the National and when the mood takes me, I was a bit peed off that when I went to bet my whole Ladbrokes balance of £56.25 on Widders at 33:1 they would only allow a bet of £25. When I returned an hour later I had to take odds of 20:1 for the remaining £31.25 balance in my account.
So I’ve got £25 on Widders at 33:1 and £31.25 at 20:1. If Ladbrokes hadn’t disallowed, I’d have £56.25 on Widders at 33:1
The best thing is that if I lose the bet, I’m not that bothered – it was a lucky win on the Grand National anyway.
If I win….heh – you can call me, Guido!
Just seen an exerpt from Bercow’s speech… ‘I’m only a little chap and its a tall order’… Not a chance… Air of creepiness somehow… Jabbing finger not nice…
Landale saying Young or Haselhurst v Bercow or Beckett… last two awesomely bad, I reckon… Haselhurst better than expected… at least by me…
His pitch was longer than anyone else’s. Even Widders was yawning.
I got carried away and acidentally ended up bidding on something i don’t want on ebay while trying to click into this thread.
you mean you bid for some dry rot for sale in Southampton by an ex-MP trying to pay back money in instalments?………
Sorry mate, I ended up bidding on a incomplete Marble Palace in ”Bangaledesh” I think the place was called.
If I were a betting man, and thank the Lord I’m not Sir, I would put my money on Beckettt on the basis that she’s the one that Brown wants, for Brown read Mandleson, and that Harperson is flatly denying that the Whips are up to no good at all again on behalf of the lying bunker dwelling thug brigade.
If Hitler’s ‘My Little Pony’ gets it, people should form militias, hunt MPs down and club them to death.
We are already planning that for Thursday – meet at Horseguards Parade for 6pm.
Rory Bremner couldn’t have parodied Bercow better than he parodied himself.
What a dick!
Bremner has always come across as a bit creepy to me. Not sure why.
His Blair Impressions.
the only speaker they need is a kalashnikov!!!!!!!!
Bercow came across a twat and Beckett as condescending cow.
Don’t you just wanna smack Beckett up side the head, she really came across as a total autoritative old has been.
Prrp!
God – that slug Tom Watson on BBC 24 praising Bercow (who he voted for) – if ever a man deserved a smack in the kisser it’s him.
Saw him and I had a flashback to watching Billy Bunter on a black and white TV in the 60s
Afternoon
As the 1.01 King of the Betfair Forum I have 2 points to make. First sum1 will have a mole in the counting house and hoover up all the bets before the result is announced.
2nd. If its true that the Whips are going around trying to fix the outcome and it is being publicly denied why dosen’t 1 of our esteemed members of the Press expose this lie. Otherwise we aint a lot better than Mugabe and Sarko’s Persian cousin!
Warwick Hunt
Having seen “Celebrity fat club” Im not very confident that Anne could fit on the wool sack
Maybe a constitutional change and she could sit on Ivan Bercow ?
He gets to be the speakers chair and spares us all more sanctimony and vice.
Just seen someone UGLIER than Beckett in Parliament – on the Parliament channel now. Didn’t catch the name thank god.
Probably a socialist. Lower gene pool.
Like Worzel Gummidge FFS
Here she is, the ugly cow.
Baroness Henig
Where do they dig these creatures up from?? the very depths of hell it’s self???
Isn’t that Grayston Perry?
Beckett now at 5/1 on betfair, Young 11/10
Back Beckett now if you fancy a bet on her, unfortunately you’ve missed the boat on Young. 3 horse race with Shepherd as the outsider.
NH 17.07 Bercow 179, Young 112, Beckett 74, Haselhurst 66, Beith 55, Widdecombe 44, Danda 26, Shepherd 15, Cormack 13 and Lord 9. One ballot was spoilt.
Looks like Labour have been backing Bercow in force – will that happen in the second ballot too?
Hat Tip to The Times for the result by the way.
Poor show from Becket on first vote – only 74 – Bercow 179
Anthony Howard just said he can’t see how anyone but Bercow can win…
Oh shit!
So the Commons have learned NOTHING.
Bercow as Speaker will put the House into even greater disrepute.
He is not just a slimeball. He is an OBVIOUS slimeball to even the uninitiated.
How can anyone support such grossness.
He actually makes Michael Martin look not so bad and who would have thought parliament could sink yet lower.
God when will it bottom out?
and if Bercow wins, one can expect a full expose of his expenses front and centre tonight in the papers.
When NuLiebour are booted out of office! Labour MPs have evidently backed Bercow in force just to annoy Cameron. Stupid, petty, childish little tosspots!
Doesnt matter anyway. After the next GE, its law that an election for speaker must be held so Bercow will be dumped if the Tories have a majority.
Lay Bercow, he’s not far off his ceiling so far as his total votes go.
Agreed – surely everyone who wants Bercow voted for him in the first round, not many of the 63 votes to be distributed will go to him.
Note that even if every vote for one of the eliminated candidates did go to Bercow, he’d still be nearly 100 votes short of 50% – this could be a very long night…
Nope. The Libs will switch from Beith to Bercow in force.
The whips killed Beckett so it’s done.
Beckett finished looks like, Bercow may just hit a ceiling and go nowhere from that. All depends, I can see all the Tories coelesce around Young.
Only 594 votes so wheres the other 52. Maybe a lot of labour mps missing, one can hope to swing it.
Here is a take on it from The Times:
“NH 17.14 Is it now a two-horse race, between Young and Bercow? Or were Labour whips telling Lab MPs to vote for Bercow to ensure that he got through before switching to Beckett, so that the Tories are given the choice they don’t want: Bercow vs Beckett.”
God I hate NuLiebore so much, I want to shove all their faces in piles of excrement and vomit!
If Haselhurst and Widders lots pile onto Young’s list… surely with a few odds and sods… Fruitless speculation… It is wait and see time.
Doug Carswell was on earlier supporting Shepherd.
I got the impression Shepherd’s votes may go to Widders for what its worth.
Anyway whoever wins can expect a line by line expenses expose in the front pages, you just know the papers are sitting waiting to do it.
Well one things for sure, if they whipped for Margaret Beckett, its clear Brown has no authority over his party if that was his choice and one can expect Beckett to whinge “Brown promised me that job, he lied”
O/T, Chairman of Iraq enquiry says that he will hold as much as possible of his enquiry in public – Is that a big “Fuck You” to Broon the Hoon?
Wanna bet Blair is plotting Browns downfall right now. He’s gonna be pissed.
WHY, WHY, WHY do we have to put up with this situation, everyday another issue, another problem, another failure. Plots and counter plots, the country is in need of leadership and a new direction, all we get is drift; drift to a place I certainly do not want to go, ruin.
Looks like Guido’s money is in the tin.
At 2020hrs if I knew how, I would put money on Young. It is a secret ballot.
