Jonah Brown Ejects 240 Jobs from Aircraft Seating Firm
The sorry state of the economy has been off the front pages of late, but make no mistake the fun and games of electing a speaker should not distract us from paying attention to soaring unemployment and deteriorating business conditions.
Business conditions which suffer under the ceaseless curse of visits from our jinxed PM. The tragedy that follows any visit by him to any shopfloor is endless. A few months ago the Prime Mentalist was accompanied on his visit to the Contour Premium Aircraft Seating factory by Welsh First Minister Rhodri Morgan, the very next month they announced 40 job losses. Today another 240 jobs are going. The curse of the one-eyed son of the manse casts its shadow…
Labour isn’t working.
New Labour New Danger?
he wished Andy Murray luck for the season ….expect a long injury
you know the drill
Murray has just lost the second set, so it’s 1:1. Could the curse of the man from the manse hit this early in Wimbledon fortnight. Maybe Murray realises that if he wins he may have to shake Gordon Brown’s hand and just can’t deal with the thought of the germs that he could be exposed to.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Greasy soap?
The next moves forward
100%
That was a fucking prophecy if ever there was one.
Now if we could just take the world back to 1997 we’d all be in a much happier state.
Labour never worked and no one in Labour has ever worked. A party for the workshy, workless and worthless.
Labour has never worked.
We’ve got a Jonah in charge.
Labour’s awful mismanagement of the economy has damaged them very badly. Pollsters are reporting a bout of premature and probably ill-founded optimism, but Labour’s own fortunes are not recovering along the same lines.
It’s all about Labour’s survival now. It isn’t just about Brown, the whole party is tarnished, whoever Mandelson picks to lead them into electoral meltdown in a few months or so. The Lib Dems are just about neck-and-neck with them in the latest poll. If they catch or overtake them – well, that would be very interesting, wouldn’t it?
The optimism is increasing as people realise that there’s less than a year to go ’til chucking out time.
No probably about it. We’re bankrupt.
New Labour = Stranger Danger
I have just spent some time with local (small) businessmen and I put the ‘green shoots’idea to them.
One laughed so hard a piece of chorizo burger came down his nose.
It seems that only those “economists” that failed to predict the largest credit bubble ever popping are the ones seeing green shoots.
Coincidence? I think not.
I agree. This green shoots stuff is all down to market rallys, not reality.
This government is screwed, the economy is screwed, and we all know it.
Never has, and Never will !!
The Socialist Experiment has been in play for a Century.
Still trying to identify the benefits.
Pure Orwellian Prophecy.
All men are NOT created equal. Deal with it!
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls’assets are bigger than others’.
Can’t take another year of this.
You’re in a rut and need to re-train, mate.
People who complain about the level of unemployment just don’t seem to see the real opportunities this recession offers for those who put themselves out a bit.
I’ve re-trained several times since 1978 and tomorrow I’m starting a new course to learn hamburger preparation. There’ll always be a demand for burgers, so I reckon this should be the last time I’ll have to venture into Further Education.
Burger King and the Government have developed a ground-breaking joint initiative to train burger-flippers. The full course takes less than 2 years to complete and is broken down into various Units:
Unit 0: Racial and Religious Awareness (6 months)
Unit 1: Gender Awareness (3 months)
Unit 2: Disability Awareness (10 weeks)
Unit 3: Food Safety (21 days)
Unit 4: Life Saving and First Aid (3 months)
Unit 5: Workplace Hazard Awareness (3 months)
Unit 6: Infection Control (6 weeks)
Unit 7: Burger Preparation (2 hours)
I get a fully-notarised “Certificate of Competency” at the end of it and will be able to work anywhere in Europe. It just shows the doubters what you can achieve if only you apply yourself and take advantage of the numerous opportunities that remain out there, despite the recession.
You forgot child protection
CRB check!
Chanting in an Ashram for a week might help. Alternatively you could try the mind blowing experience of a Common Purpose training event. It’s a bit like the Common Market, but with more strobe effects.
Diversity training ?!
I’m Loving It!!!
Is that real cause i might do it for real, i mean don’t knock macdonalds it got stores all over the world. The travel opportunities are endless if you got a few languages under your belt.
Its spelt course!!
I would apply, you are a shoe in.
W.W.
Tried it. Some fat fuck called Elvis got the job. He claimed he needed to top up his old age pension and walked the interview.
There’s always care work I suppose.
Post of the day – how very NewLiebour!
At last a smile after a day of troughing, thieving stories, until I realised that what you say in jest is getting closer to reality by the week…
General election NOW, PELASE
Well I agree that there is a lot of opportunity to be found in recession – however there are only so many times someone can retrain.
A 30 year old will find it easier to train to a new job rather than someone in their 50′s – whom will probably not find work again.
I’m over 50…….shit!
Real opportunity….open “Motivated Burger” joints across Britain, put your training to good use laddie. Never work for others if you can work for yourself.
Motivated Burger = MB (Master Baiter).
Thought I knew him from somewhere.
That is an almost exact parody of my ex’s Russian degree award in civil engineering with about 500 hours of Communist political training.
Patience! You WILL have your revenge
We face a period of global economic turbulence caused by the problems in the US housing market. It is understandable that families are concerned about how the world economic slowdown will affect them. Labour will continue to take the tough, long term decisions to maintain economic stability and steer Britain through these turbulent times. We will not go back to the failed Tory policy of billions of pounds of unfunded tax promises, which would undermine economic stability and risk taking Britain back to the days of 15 per cent interest rates and three million unemployed.
Nu Labour
Darling flips
Brown flops
The above is a fake Hardwidge comment, honest.
But at least it shows up how stupid you are.
the above is a fake resurgemus comment but at least it shows you haven’t gone home yet ( approaching 17.30 )
How can you be so sure? It is the same nauseous robotic NuLiebore monologe that we’d expect from any apparatchik. Anyway, how do you know there is a genuine Charles E. Hardwidge – sounds like one of Groucho’s personae in a Marx Brothers film to me.
No it isn’t
I am the real Charles Hardwidge
Real Hardwidge comments have a point and show some wit.
Both of which are lost on most of the pimple brains on this site.
you’re talking to yourself
Brown does the same
Who’s talking to whom here?
Hoon’s talking to hoon Shirley ?
I love to grease up first before I slip into my thong
None of the Hardwidges have a point.
They read out some Labour PR or Policy guff thrown in a few extraneous superlatives and adjectives then try and pretend it’s satire.
It’s not.
It’s shit and it’s not funny unless you have a peanut for a brain.
can I come out now ?
‘Ere cat it aaaht you two,
‘Ere stop messin’abahht!
Oh, matron !!
No, I am NOT Charles Halfwitted but I still claim the Taxpayers £ 5
NuLabourMP: A man whose criminal record will be expunged so that he can remain within the honourable tradition of the Labour Party. Nuff said.
Go on then Charles, tell me one long term decision that’s been made in the past 12 months.
Snigger – very funny, and there was me thinking you were serious…..
Already over 5 million unemployed if you add in them on “disability”
Spot on. Labour twist and massage the figures, yet hardly ever get ripped by the media over it.
Charles…you are a nob.
I’m sorry I can’t be more expansive….less is more!
It is not Hardwidge, don’t be such a mug!
No! I’m Charles Hardwidge
the above is a fake resurgemus comment but at least it shows you haven’t gone home yet ( approaching 17.30 )
Nor have you. Nearly half five. They paying you overtime at Labour HQ?
P.S. You are a Huhne and nowhere near as clever as you think you are.
Don’t be silly Charles is in bed and tucked in by 5.30.
Dream on!
what I meant was no more Tory boom and bust!
One day I could walk away from all of this
TOMORROW ?? PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!
Everyone knows the whole of Europe is in recession and that manufacturing has been hit hardest.
Yes , and everyone knows that the UK is best placed to weather the recession because of ..oh shit
Because Labour have invested and will continue to invest. Whereas the Conservitudes only thought is to throttle the economy. Not only would they throttle the economy they’d loot it for good measure.
You can’t starve an economy out of recession.
Keep the inbreds out!
Despite the proof that you present that the gene pool needs some chlorine occasionally…
I am sorry but can someone explain the difference between Labour and the Tories to me? I have looked and looked and the only thing I can come up with is that George Osborne would improve relations with Colombia.
I’m all for it, I would like to see the country return to 1850′s Yorkshire, starving children working 16 hours in cotton factory’s, no health and safety. Coal mines, no NHS, proper bastard upper class, Lovely common whores for 2 and 8 who will suck ya dick while your having a thrupenny bit. You know, we need to put these common fuckers who are in power back in gutter where they belong. They were breed for one thing and one thing alone. To shine my fucking shoes. They just don’t know it. Leave the hard sums to the educated Etonian Elite. Yes lets have a bit of survival of the fittest again, a true Darwin revolution, god knows its been polluted and stagnated of late. We certainly have the monopoly on work shy fuck wits in this country thanks to Labour. The only thing they understand is the lash.
Blake’s 7,
That’s exactly what you’ll get from Labour.
Just look at what was going on when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Large problems with Drugs and Prozzis.
Unsafe working conditions.
No freedom of thought, action or belief.
and it all started in America
It all started when G Brown was born. His parents have a lot to answer for.
That’s because europe interferes with all european businesses leveling the field and because of our situation we are causing problems in the east, Japan, etc. The best thing to do is for business to proceed as the directors and employees choose to and to tell government to fuck off and leave us alone to get on with it, bartering and whatever it takes.
The Japs hate us at the moment especially Sony.
China just laughs at our human rights act. More jobs for them
You see, if we had more of our own money to invest or buy things with instead of being mugged for it by the Government to ‘invest’in social workers, common purpose funding, nazi business and home inspectors, traffic wardens, police weaponary, foreign aid, and all the rest, we would all be in work and making things to sell abroad too. We’d be happy and content, probably even charitable with the left overs.
McSnot is chatting to Iain Dale and the prison warder in the background is clearly rushing over, presumably to lock them back in their cell. When did this happen? And what does it have to do with job losses?
You’re right. Clearly a lapse in security there. Can’t get the staff, I suppose.
A prolapse maybe?
Isn’t a Prolapse when the Actor says, ‘No dear boy: believe me, I have never missed a cue or muffed a line in all my many years on the Stage…’When he says, ‘I am so sorry, Sir John, I missed my line. How could I do it, spoiling your Grand Speech, like that?’that’s a hamlapse.
Then again, I suppose ‘Prolapse’could be what you get in lap-dancing clubs (not that I’d know).
If Our Glorious Unelected Prime McMentalist does decide to have a weally, weally big hissy fit and throw his final Nokia to become a teacher… just how many defenceless innocent children will suffer a dreadful fate???
Can’t they park him in a prison hulk with the scum of society (when they are on their summer recess) and go sink somewhere???
Ah yes but that will be because of Tory cuts
He’ll probably get raped like that teacher was by a 15 year old the other day
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1194889/Teacher-raped-15-year-old-pupil-blames-school-putting-way-rapist.html
Truly shocking story.
Is this really the society we are living in, where teachers have to fear being raped by children?
I can’t see the most disturbed minor raping Brown. I’m sure he’ll be safe from that sort of assault.
I had a teacher who was a dab hand with the board rubber….perhaps Brown can improvise with something similar? Chucking his phone at a kid in a Scottish comp is bound to get expensive after a while – he’ll never get them back again.
We had a board rubber marksman as well. He was lethally accurate, too. It’s not much the pain of the impact, it’s having to walk round for the rest of the day half-covered in chalk dust. He’d get banged up for life these days.
And think of the damages you’d get….
I’ve still got the damages. Pschological, mainly. The physical scars have faded.
Ha ha have you tried therapy?
Marston’s Pedigree dulls the pain….
Can you get that on the NHS?
At current prescription charges, it’s cheaper to go to Sainsbury’s. Have your scars healed?
None for me! I was always very good at ducking.
Cheating! Our guy used to wait until you turned round.
Was yours a maths teacher too? (might do a quick survey into most violent subjects..)
Oddly – Scripture. Think they call it ‘Humanities’these days. Ironic, really.
well, spare the rod and all that…!
new girl and engineer,
what the fuck have your stupid lovey-dovey posts got to do with the subject of this thread.
yet again you have abused the hospitality of your host. your manners are fucking appalling.
stop acting like lovesick sp@stics or your licences will be revoked.
final warning wankers.
That’s Guido’s call. And if he wants his stats upped…
Now behave yourself, or NewGirl will have to teach you some manners.
let us follow your sentence to its end, eh?
“That’s Guido’s call. And if he wants his stats upped… then he will ban rude fucking c’unts like engineer and new girl.”
yes, that looks right.
behave yourself cripple. do not abuse the licence you are freely offered.
this is not your hotmail account. you are on your last chance.
thankyou for complying.
Thank you for coming when called TwAT. Now FUCK OFF.
new girl: please refer to post 289.
last chance motherfucker.
thankyou for complying.
What’s going on here? I go out for a few hours and come back to find a swarm around the honey pot. Behave..!
TwAT, I don’t think NewGirl deserves to be called that. Why don’t you just fuck off to LabourLost or keep your mouth shut here?
steve,
stop rimming new girl you dirty fucker.
Phew! Misog! At last!
Hi, the numbers are all over the place. Where shall we go? Lower down, give me a number?
Those were the days! And if you stepped out of line you could expect a clip round the ear and the rest of the lesson standing outside the Headmaster’s Study!
Certainly not allowed now, it’s ‘uman rights, innit?
It wasn’t actually a good way of teaching.
It is impossible for a child to learn anything when they are under stress.
We had a useless and violent French Master at school and I was always useless at French.
Much later in life I went to evening classes and discovered I was actually very good at the language. It is true that my ability was assisted by a female teacher who was French, pretty and taught us useful phrases like,”Are you doing anything tonight; would you like to come to the cinema with me.?”
A useful way of getting boys interested in foreign languages.
Something in that Moley. I was shit at French too, but given the right stimulus….
Didn’t work with me, but then our French teacher was about 6′-2″, bald, and about 17 stone.
Agree with the main point though. The ability to inspire rather than dominate helps a lot.
No, disagree, I like being dominated
in a foreign language …or at least it sounds good in theory…not all foreign languages though, thinking about it, yeuch, no definitely not German. Or Scottish…Am I actually still writing…STOP NOW!
Thought the Spanish was doing it for you the other day. Sadly, all I can manage is Industrial Esperanto.
Actually, I had you down as a bit of a dominator. I have a mental vision of you in thigh-length black leather boots and whip, with Master Baiter and TaT cowering at your feet while you teach them some manners.
Ha Ha love Misog natch!
Don’t mind being in your fantasies Engineer, but please don’t inflict the trolls on me…even in a submissive role…
PS have you actually seen those boots then?!
Ooh fantastic TwAT’s back! Carry on Engineer, he gets very upset when I talk to men. I would say “other men”, but that gives him a bit too much credit.
Sorry about that – I was trying to watch Monster Moves on channel 5 with half an eye. Bunch of flippin’amateurs…
Well, yes, the boots are quite an interesting thought, but you can put the whip down. Not my thing. And if you don’t, I’ll take it off you. And the whip.
Now – TaT – see above, please. NewGirl – savage him!
With pleasure….TwAT! TwAT! Here boy….Not too close (Holds off with cattle prod), your personal hygiene is very much in doubt….
Get a room you two! …he says, thinking of whips and boots
Oh Steve don’t you start too! Why is it everyone else talks to everyone else, and I always get told off ….?!
Only joking NG.
The first French sentance that comes to mind:
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
Don’t take it literallly though, chez moi is 3500 miles away!!
Gordon Brown est inutile, non élus, auges, pommeau, qui n’aurait jamais dû être alloed n’importe où près de règne du pouvoir. Plus vite nous nous débarrasser de cette putain de halfwit le mieux.
Misog?!
Espero has ponete tus bragas…?
Thank goodness you’re here! See what happens when you aren’t?
Hi, Say where you want to go…
Last thread?
We can’t have a teacher who lies and has an unstable temperament in our kids classrooms can we, well not him anyway
There was a wonderful ‘French Oral’joke just dying to be deployed around post 186 but you all missed it. Sigh.
Ha ha ha ! Its TwATs fault. He spoils all the fun.

You’ve had a bit of a hectic night from what I’ve read?
always!
Hope you kept your Knickers on?
Dunno how I always get caught up….
See your learning Spanish.
es mi personalidad?
Was yesterday’s cartoon with Berk and his wife aimed at us? I nearly posted First..! Thought better of it to protect your innocence
Tu personalidad, no mi digas!
Eres mas lista que lo digas…!
What then?! (Crumbs hope not!)
Sorry about tonight, I’ve been out with my Swedish neighbours, they’re here on holiday.
Hope you had fun?
I said, “your more intelligent than your saying.” You act like the dumb blonde but your not.
We’re out of sync.
You sound very sure about that!
Help!!
I just crashed..!
Don’t post and drive!
What am I very sure about?
Sorry Guido…
My intellect! Misog Guido will ban us….
OK.
no se que hacer…
Un plan. Quiers mi direcion?
not sure…?
Vale. no pasa nada.
I am? Thanks..
I am? Thanks, WT* is that?
Oh! I didn’t understand! Now I do! Yes please!
You want my email?
yes!
OK. This is dangerous, but I like danger. rob.barlow1@hotmail.com
Fab! Now I can bore you and not all of Guido at same time!
Now I’m exposed…? The tide has gone out.
what’s your mob no?
OOOUUUUCCCCHHHHH, I did not think those Motorola Brick phones were available any longer sir.
Funnily enough, my french teacher was a nightmare of the old school of education… she was a scrawny 6’2″ gargoyle… I kid you not, she was facially deformed and had an equally twisted and vile personality… used to pick out bogies from her massive, hairy nose and flick them at us… could splat at least 4 rows… heartily glad I did german instead. Wonder if McBogey could to that trick?!
Labour insiders have been trying to persuade Brown to limit his factory visits to industries that have a glowing future.
The policy failed because there aren’t any.
He’ll be visiting BNFL…
Bloody hell!
LOL – hopefully not too glowing! I’ll be back in the UK in a couple of weeks
An overseas visit to Chernobyl might work and they can keep him.
He was reported today to have met with Andy Murray and wished him well for Wimbledon – we should find out if the curse has struck again in a couple of hours…
looks like it has, its a tight match and Murray lost the second set to a complete nobody who’s holding his ass to the fire.
Bloody hell – the curse of Jonah seems to have been lifted, if only temporarily. Murray is the only Briton to have won so far though
That’ll be the green shoots of recovery, and about as long lasting too.
Murray is a gonna. Bet Federer was glad not to be invited.
All of a flutter,
An abandoned red rosette
Rots in the gutter
How do you like them apples Guido!
How did you get on down the pub, Guido?
Isn’t this proof that he caused the resesion. Brown is a total calamity, destroying the country as he breathes
It was a graveyard smash!
Leesten to them.

Your point does not improve in the repetition
It works better than swallowing the Jonah theme, which as a political tactic is copied anyhow.
In just over a year’s time, members of the public will be able to participate in Prime Minister’s Question Time (well, an ex-PM).
Question.
Could I please have a quarter pounder and large fries please?
He’d probably fuck that up an’all.
“I said a QUARTER POUNDER not chicken mcNuggets for fuck’s sake!!”
O/t but in the four times I have been to McDonalds they haven’t once got the order right.
What part of two happy meals and a Big Mac did you now understand you fuckwit?
Way too complicated for GB
Mr Speaker, M-m-m-m-m-mr Speaker. What the customer has to understand is that McDonalds is a global phenomnen that began in America, and we are the party that have invested in the success of the enterprise after we were sent here as an apprentice from the jobcentre plus. M-m-m-m-m-m-mr Speaker, the public will see that he is the do-nothing customer and it is he who cannot tell the difference between a mcnugget and a burger.

It’s not just his visits to factories that are jinxed; look what happens to any “initiative” he comes up with. When “Digital Britain” is rolled out, we’ll be lucky if we can still make a phone call, let alone access the fucking internet.
Don’t touch those Brown digits. You know where they’ve been.
Only in his mouth.
or his nose.
Then his mouth.
Kentucky Fried Bogeys. They’re finger licking good
ZZzzzzzz…….
Brown never mentions anything about the thousands of people who borrowed much too much money to buy unaffordable houses on the assumption that Brown was in fact the economics genius responsible for abolishing boom and bust and ensuring low,low interest rates.
His continual hiding behind the phrase ,”global downturn” is as pathetic as the people who were taken in by his shameful assertions
If he really was a genuine son of the manse he wouild be down on his knees every night begging forgiveness ,not dreaming up yet more lies in futile attempts to bamboozle the electorate .
Two or three years ago I thought that Richard Littlejohn was a bit hard on Gordon in his book but nowI think that Littlejohn,if anything ,gave him an easy ride.
Deregulate the mortgage market
The gorgon isn’t using the term ‘global downturn’as much as he used to. In an interview on the radio this afternoon he said , ‘I’ve got a job to do’. He sticks to the newlabour mantra – ‘We came, we saw, we learned lessons, and we moved on! Wish they would!
The only job he does is in the bog
Fuck off Brown you cretin.
It’s time for me to make a comeback.
Burger Mr McDonald?
Gizza’job! I can do that!
GUIDO, you are being unfair !!!
This could have been caused by Rhodri Morgan – the only way to find out for sure would be a controlled experiment featuring separate visits to similar factories by both the Prime Minister and the First Minister.
Both are quite likely to be able to ‘balls things up’and I don’t think you should just assume that Gordon is responsible.
Of course, there could be an ‘additive’effect where their combined ‘reverse midas touch’has a bigger effect, or even a multiplying effect where the 2 of them visiting gives a 4 times bigger load of shit hitting the fan..
Good one on Coffee House
Blair has said he would rather have his testicles nailed to a moving train than be the the president of Europe.
I’ll bring the nails
no belay that I’ll bring nails, oval top tasteful, nice touch and the three pounder
no ok I’ll do the fooking job myself
Can we not use a sledge hammer just to be sure
We can probably get it on expenses
Bags – can I drive the fucking train?
Pneumatic nail gun surely.
I’ll bring the moving train
Brown has said..”I could walk away tomorrow”, if he is a man of his word he should do that. The “plague” will then have passed over the land. Brown should be told actions speak louder than words
I can also (probably) get a pool ball up my bum, but unless you have a serious intention of carrying out what you say it is best kept quiet as it only creates more questions
Since the curse of Jonah is all embracing, perhaps we might prevail on him to visit Iran and wish Armani Dinner Jacket all the very best!
don’t you ever get fed up writing the same old repetitious boring shite. who the fuck do you think you are? some kind of white knight bringing enlightenment to the web masses? you’re just another westminster village Huhne.
Cheers

David Aaronovitch is a hoon
A fat Hoon.
Reminiscent of Hitchens the Drunker
David Aaronovitch said that his biggest problem with blogs is the rudeness and that he has seen himself being called a c**t 15 times in a single thread on blogs such as Guido Fawkes.
http://markreckons.blogspot.com/2009/06/commentariat-vs-bloggertariat-event.html
Apologies for my earlier outburst when I called you a hoon David.
What I meant to say was that you are a c**t.
David Aaronovitch IS a cúnt. He doesn’t get it either. A real twat in fact.
Someone told me 15 times that Aaronovitch is a c**t. Is that true?
He’s a Huhne all right. How many’s that now? 26 is the number to aim for in one thread.
Is that a c**t in the gynaecological sense, a c**t in the satirical sense, or a c**t in the pejorative sense?
> he has seen himself being called a c**t 15 times in a single thread on blogs
Are there other blogs I might visit where it is possible to see Aaronovitch called a c**t at least 15 times then?
“Trotsky”, “Lenin”, “Karl Marx”, “Che Guevara”
David if you see this i just wanted to say sorry mate but your still a cuuunttttt
No he’s a c@nt
Typical smug Nu Labour turd.
A perfect ‘writer’for The Times – a paper that would die without its book and DVD freebies….
Setanta Sports copped it as well.
200 jobs+ to go. Not a good day for the UK. Thanks Jonah, please jump soon.
Sadly, it’s the big ones that make the headlines, but a larger overall contribution to the problem comes from the 2 here, 10 there, 5 somewhere else drip-drip.
My home town used to be called the Knightsbridge of the north – you had to go on a waiting list to get premises if you wanted to open a shop, and the rents were astronomical. Now, there are ‘to let’signs all over the place (but the rents are still high).
I’d guess that about 500 – 1000 retail jobs have gone just in one town, say 1% of the population. Extrapolate that across the country……
no wonder, I wouldn’t want to live next to you either ya fucking moron – do you and yer tribe shit outdoors and wipe yer arse with grass?
Your point is…?
He’ll have to try harder than that. I’ve been insulted by experts. Just wondered what he was trying to have a pop at.

Careful, NG, he’s enjoying it. He likes cowering at your feet. I think he’s got a bit of a pschological problem – enjoys the lash of the whip. That maybe explains his Nulab perversions, as well. Cower before the Great Leader, do his bidding, that sort of thing. Poor chap, he needs counselling….
Er, it’s looking more like 1000+ jobs now at Setanta.
We’re all working class heroes now, eh?
who is the current love egg supplier to the cabinet?
Bill Cash, he owns Cadbury’s but STILL trough expenses!!
Not Edwina Currie, anyway. As far as I know……
who do you have in mind?
Dear Mr Brown,
Thank you so much for finishing that job that we asked you to do in the British Isles recently.
I enclose a cheque for £150.00 as agreed.
We will most certainly call you if we need you again!
Yours sincerely,
The People of Great Britain
If all 65 million of us sent him a cheque for £1, would he go?
No chance. He gets more claiming expenses.
Anyway he truly believes he’s doing a good job. Wild horses couldn’t drag him.
Er, I could walk away from all this tomorrow…
Don’t just limit it to the 65 million – there’s a lot of us expats waiting for the Hoon to go too!
Murray getting a new arse ripped already?
Any chance the one eyed jock shit stabber could go see Bin Laden?
Or Dinner Jacket
You said that yesterday. Got any other jokes?
Are the trolls working in shifts today? Most days they’ve packed up by 17:00?
Dunno. They are oddly quiet aren’t they? TwAT probably out kerb crawling. MB probably thinking about kerb crawling when he’s old enough. Hardwedge probably massaging his own ego somewhere. Basically they’re probably all busy doing pretty much the same thing….
I think Guido’s been busy with the delete button this evening, the scores of pointless drivel above your 120 seem to have magically disappeared
It’s definitely a nicer crowd here in the evening than during the day, the odd Labour loon can be put up with or argued with, but the last couple of weeks have attracted a bunch of complete idiots (or maybe one idiot with lots of names, you never know)
I wouldn’t pay you in fucking washers you ugly bastard.
you would only spend the money on crack anyway.
Witty reply is waiting in the mod queue, I have a feeling Guido is having a busy day trying to keep the idiots out.
The supports of the incumbent Government can be ignored or debated, it’s the complete wayne kers with nothing to say that are the problem (worded carefully to avoid the censor, hopefully)
…and just when we thought they’d all gone home, up pops thick as with the pointless insults
steve,
is
a
c’unt.
As if by magic here TwAT is! Wondered what happened to all that stuff above …Didn’t know Guido deleted after the posts were made…….Gulp!
I’m feeling sorry for Guido today, there have been idiots like that on every thread.
TwAT, thanks for the compliment!!
not bad.
Reported that Soca got back £1 for every £15 spent
Do you think they’ll achieve their incentive bonus?
Of course they will, because it will be set, in true public sector fashion, as a percentage of what they collect – with no account taken of what they spent.
I see Guido has honoured Allah with one of my quotes.
Perhaps Gordon Brown is a Dementor.
Recommend reading, ” Gordon Brown” by Tom Bower
Does he do sausages too?
Over-riding personal ambition, highly secretive, political obsession driven by religious angst.
The Herald said of this book that it leaves the reader wondering whether gordon is fit to be PM.
It’s a good read.
Grrr!!! I got modded. All I wanted to say was that I am just reading this book and it is a good read.
It shows g*rdon’s dark side and his political ambition which is driven by r*ligious angst.
OK. I’ve been modded twice.
I can be reasonable about this. I am not gordon and I will not throw my laptop.
Tom Bower’s book about g*rd*n is good.
How’s that?
Ha Ha that’s fine Nell
. I’ll get it. Can’t understand why some get modded, some don’t…
Hi NewGirl.
Question is – What’d I do???
I analysed the comments every which way and couldn’t see what was wrong – still can’t.
Oh well – like a crossword – bit of a challenge for the brain cells.
I know. Its happened to me too…I think its random modding!! Wish he’d mod the trolls though, I’m in all sorts of NG mischief further up the blog….I just can’t help myself!
nothing fucking random about it ladies.
and I use the term most loosely indeed.
Yes NewGirl I noticed problem with trolls.
‘They’have been here all day . Personally I think – Thick as Thieves- Master Baiter – Charles Hardwidge , Speedo something or other etc etc and the rest, are one and the same person ( possily two)
Best ignore !!!
Most likely they are damian mcbride and derek draper and/or possibly their sycophants – in fact I expect they are – so why expend energy responding to them.
No doubt they are being directed by a committee chaired by charlie whelan, tom watson and ed balls.
Who cares what they think!!!!
nell, you do know that you are a tory troll, don’t you?
oh dear, we have a very dim one here; no insight whatsoever.
I am independent nell, and if you did not know that by now then you are one dumb motherfucking bitch!
innit.
There’s some random modding going on, but today there’s been several hundred comments removed… in the last few days a number of complete cnuts have turned up here…
Sorry, Nell, but the idea of somebody writing a book about Brown and others actually buying it to read rather than as lavatory paper strikes me as bizarre.
I may be a troll but i aint a labour troll i tell thee
no, you are a spastic-troll matt.
a severely brain damaged spastic-troll.
the fact you not only have access to a keyboard but that you are also able to operate it, albeit in a highly retarded manner, is in itself a miracle.
well done matt!
gold star!
The Lindsey Refinery dispute highlights another aspect of unemployment.
gordon and his ministers insist on telling us that we have 45000 British working working abroad in the EU (presumably they are working in Brussels & Strasbourg at our expense) and only 15000 non British workers working here. Can this man ever tell a truth?
Truth is there are 3.8million non British workers here – 13% of all employees. When you set that total against the expected 3.3 million unemployment for the next 12 months – it is significant. And gordon’s lies and denial of it is allowing it, like the Lindsay Oil Refinery problem which is going to spread, to fester. British jobs for British workers. Hmm?
A British noose for Brown’s neck.
It’s built into NuLabour’s DNA to lie. Their stalinist nature means they repeat lies time after time until the public believe them. Aided and abetted by The Brown Broadcasting Corporation, of course.
Actually, it’s a tricky one. There’s often a shortage of (truly) skilled tradesmen, depending on the workloads of concurrently-running projects, and it has to be said that the average British worker (with honourable exceptions) is not as assiduous as some would like. The big contractors have found that some Eastern Europeans work longer and harder than some of the natives, and are easier to manage.
I don’t condone some of the low wage tricks that go on, but the British worker has to accept that he has to offer a better option to the management than employing overseas workers (which is quite a hassle in itself). Some of them, sadly, still think that life is an easy ride. It aint.
Yes Engineer I agre totally. My comment wasn’t intended to knock foreign workers. I just deplore the fact that grdon and his ministers use imaginary statistics as truth.
We have a right to be told the real truth – every time they lie they undermine democracy.
gordon especially bores us to tears talking about his moral compass, presbyterian background, being a son of the manse, to underpin that we can trust everything he says. This particular issue re: foreign workers just underlines what a liar he is.
And with that Nell, I concur entirely.
What we have is the result of a Government which formulates policy on the basis of its own lies.
One of the first jobs of the new Government will be to get back to reality, which will I fear, be a painful process, particularly at the Treasury.
The Lindsey Oil Refinery is owned by Total – a French company. Why should they give a shit about “British” jobs? All they have to do is comply with EU regulations and give equal opportunity to European workers.
Brown can’t have it both ways. Either we’re in Europe and we employ European workers or we’re not.
A referendum would be a good idea. Didn’t Labour promise one in their manifesto?
The Telegraph speculates that Brown won’t resign or call an election before next year because he needs Ireland to return a Yes Vote on the Lisbon Treaty so that it can be ratified.
DT is saying that he has been offered a big job in Europe and a NO vote here on the Lisbon Treaty would damage his chances of getting it- – so he is hanging on to power to prevent us having a referendum.
Recently the EU decided to set up a pan-European financial watchdog composed of three offices – I think it was high street banking, investment banking and insurance. One of the offices is to be in London, the others in Frankfurt and Paris. Perhaps Gordon has his eye on the London job.
Hi Johnny – my thought is – after the mess he’s made of this UK job he might want to escape from the UK for while after the next general electon.
Most hated man and all that!!!!
The Czechs haven’t ratified either. They are in the new Conservative group of MEPs and might well be persuaded to wait for our election. They also have related legal cases working through their courts as to whether the Lisbon treaty is what it pretends to be or what it actually is.
Regarding election timing the other factor is Mervyn King and Quantitative Easing.
My view is that QE is the only factor propping up Gilt sales and that everything will go tits up if it stops.
It follows that QE has to be continued until the election from Brown’s viewpoint, but I wouldn’t guarantee that Mervyn King would agree to that, or that it makes economic sense.
Moley I didn’t know that and of course gordon didn’t want us to know that!!!!
Thanks!!!!
The LDV van factory should be saved infact there is a Number10 petition on their website1 These firms should be supported for the next few years then the oppertunity for a workforce/suppliers buy out sort of John Lewis Partnership styli !
So much for NuLieinBastads promise of investment. The Business Secretary had other matters on his mind other than er.. British business.
What is Mandlebrot being paid for if he is supposed to be in government? His job should be about creating a favourable environment for British business in which jobs are preserved and created. The taxpayer does not pay his salary to see that Labour stay in power – that’s all he has been concerned about.
Bunch of arse!
Mandelson is focused on the EU and trying to ensure that Lisbon is ratified before the election
.
That is far more important to him than LDV which involves other people’s jobs. The EU involves his own future employment.
This is worse than paying for one’s mistress on company expenses.
Unfortunately you right Moley.
Mandlebum’s EU plan is even more important than Labour being re-elected, they need to avoid the election just long enough to allow the Irish to vote the “right” way and the irrecoverable Treaty to become law.
He’s also said nothing at all about the Lyndsey Oil Refinery where several thousand people were marching today – he’s the Business Secretary (among other titles) so it’s on his watch that massive unrest will be upcoming this summer…
I sympathise with LDV workers – but I can’t find any sympathy with LDV owner – D*r*paska.
Made his fortune in the aluminium industry.
Friend of Mandy – entertained him on his million dollar, luxury yacht.
In the process of selling his 25% stake in the world’s biggest most profitable nickel mine to a fellow russian oligarch.
Reputed to be worth in excess of $5billion.
Called a cockroach by Putin when he toured one of his cement factories where he found D*r*paska’s workers starving and owed £830,000.
Let LDV go bust and the unions can buy it for next to nothing. Then the means of production really will belong to the workers.
But the unions won’t buy LDV just like they wouldn’t take the mines off Thatcher even when she was giving them away for nothing. They prefer to be spoilers demand ing that somebody furnish them the lifestyle they think they should command rather than working and earning that lifestyle.
Come on GMB, Unite and the rest of you C*nts – where’s your bid for LDV?
Gobshites.
Well said that person.
Actually the miners did buy one colliery -Tower in Hirwaun in South Wales. They made a go of too, for 20 years until the pit was exhaused. They are now using the site for property ventures. Good luck to them.
LDV is a tricky one, in that the automotive market is oversupplied at the moment, and sources of development capital for new models are few and far between. If LDV had some specialist niche products, they may have been better off. It pains me, but a revival seems unlikely.
One colliery? Out of how many hundred? And did the NUM buy it or did the locals get their shit together and buy it themselves?
That’s my point. The unions are fucking useless. Even today they are fucking useless. They are just like the Labour party. A self-perpetuating scheme for the aggrondissement of Labour councillors, MPs and employees and that’s the start and finish of it.
Scargill could have bought hundreds of pits for fuck all and cocked a snook at Maggie but he prefferred to blow all the NUM’s cash on a years strike pay. What a fucking idiot.
Engineer
this country had 3 van producers in 2008
Ford – Southampton
GM\Renault – Luton
LDV – Birmingham
Transit production is likely to cease when the current model expires, the bulk of prodcution has already shifted to Turkey
Luton is expected to close in 2011 when the next model will be shifted to Romania. Or do you trust Mandelson to save the jobs?
LDV – who knows ?
This country will go from being roughly self sufficient in vans to having to import 150-200,000 vans per year, with a structural balance of payments deficit of £ 2 -2.5 billion.
You should worry for your future.
Richard Budge got there first – now UK Coal I think. Most of the deep pits have been closed fo one reason or another, including the Selby super-pit, which was worked as far as geological problems would allow, if memory serves aright. There is still quite a lot of opencasting going on.
Good for Richard Budge. My point remains. What fucking use are the unions?
They could have bought this stuff themselves and proved Thatch wrong. well for another few years at least. Indeed they might have managed to keep them going long enough to be bought out again as an important strategic resource by the government.
Instead of sitting there pissing and moaning.
Resurgemus – valid point, but the world oversupply problem still exists.
I’ve never worked in the automotive sector, and don’t have too many worries about my personal future – that, however, is somewhat beside the point against LDV (and their suppliers) jobs.
A similar situation exists in the rail industry, with many locomotives and rolling stock sourced abroad. How this has come to pass is beyond me – if anybody can outline the reasons, I’d be interested.
The manufacturing sector consists of much more than the automotive sector, and quite large parts where doing quite well pre-recession. Too early to predict where we’ll be when the recovery starts, but manufacturing is far from dead yet.
Add to that the energy supply sector (electricity, gas, transport fuels) the petro-chemical and plastics sector, and infrastructure maintenance, and there’s plenty going on.
We engineers aint dead yet!
Thatcher Heseltine gave miners, not Unions Tower Colliery. Then funded with miners own cash, ,overcame huge geological problemspreserved and increased jobs, paid dividends etc. Hollywood film mooted recently.
Mister Squeaker Bercow, latest novelty item in British public life, made his way to work on Day One.
….Less dignified was Mr Bercow’s smirk. Good Lord he looked pleased with himself, marching along in the middle of his coterie like a majorette at her first High School parade.
At the edge of the lobby he spotted a roly-poly supporter from the world of right-wing internet bloggers.
This nerd was given a special grin.

How many IED’s will that fund ?
As is the custom in Dewsbury, and being a very busy minister, I paid it in cash. Sir Philip Mawer said that’s perfectly OK and, on the balance of probabilities, I am inclined to believe him.

Anonymous = Limited Intellect
Come PMQs these job losses won’t stop the world’s saviour from claiming he has personally created 4,000,000 new jobs since last Thursday, saved tens of thousands of sound businesses from the receiver since Monday, jumped over Canary Wharf with but a single bound, rescued countless hard-working families from the workhouse and will increase public spending by 50% per annum compound whilst everyone else is wondering quite how this can happen when he has just blown 17 times the NHS annual budget on saving a couple of shite businesses masquerading as banks when a few months before there wasn’t enough in the pot to pay the police a miserable few percent of an increase.
Yes, PMQs will be the same old rubbish unless Speaker Bercow instructs the sub-prime mentalist to answer the fucking questions…
Yep bailing out international bond holders with British taxpayers money.
Good idea, not.
Bond defaults are highly deflationary, so you can safely print the money to support depositors. Which is what should have happened in a sensibly run country.
Someone in parliament who reads this set up a Xbox live game between Brown, Clegg and Cameron.
Or let me go against them one on one deathmatch cod 4 or cod waw or any game they choose.
Good PR for the MP’s and PM with the yoof of today init
You’re getting a little ahead of yourself there Matt – let’s just start with Berk-ow getting Broon answering the questions at midday tomorrow and we’ll see how it goes from there…
matt c always gets ahead of himself.
it is because he is a gobby useless c’unt: just like you steve!
Pot – Kettle comparison springs to mind…
If you have nothing to add to the debate then go somewhere else!
but you are an expat steve!
not really in a position to tell people where they should go innit.
you fucking idiot.
Great romances often start with the lovers taunting each other.
Lets move on to the smooching!
NewGirl, is that you mediating?
TwAT, I am an expat, because as a single white man with a reasonable job, I found myself paying somewhere around 75% of my income to the government (income tax, NI, VAT, council tax, petrol duty, alcohol duty etc etc.) and got completely fed up with seeing absolutely nothing in return for it – meanwhile the massively increasing “client state” who have never worked and breed like rabbits, are spending tax money on cigarettes and satellite TV, and living for free while I struggled to break even at the end of the month!
If the number of productive expatriates continues to rise, the govt books are even less likely to balance. There are literally hundreds of thousands of Brits here in Dubai, as well as Hong Kong, Australia, USA etc. – almost all are former higher-rate taxpayers from the UK so completely fed up with our own goverment that we upped sticks and went!
Not me Steve- I’m crossing swords with the tosser further up ! Crikey he’s on form tonight isn’t he? Ran out of his meds again I expect. Its a shame really.
As a single man,the world is your oyster and by all means there to be enjoyed.
Would you have the same views if you had a family or aged parents trapped in our situation?
you cut and run steve so don’t tell me about how the country needs people like you.
you cut and run, just like that other motherfucker Ashcroft.
we do need to get value and reduce unnecessary cost from all public services but even if we do achieve that let’s be honest steve, you will still be a tax avoiding motherfucker.
innit steve? come on, tell the truth and shame the devil!
you lying fucking c’unt.
Too old…. A fair question deserves a fair response.
There are limits to how much socialism the avearage man will accept.
I think the NHS and state education are good ideas, but this government has doubled heath spending by increasing massively the number of management consultants while not touching the number of clinical consultants. Education spending has increased massively, while university students have had to pay fees and our schools now teach to the tests rather than encouraging debate or critical thinking around the subjects.
More and more people are realising that the balance has shifted too far, to quote Daniel Hannan in his now famous speech, “…you cannot go on forever squeezing the productive bit of the economy in order to fund an unprecedented engorgment of the unproductive bit”
Until the balance moves, a large number of productive British citizens will chooose to work abroad.
What made the decision for me personally – the year before I left I banged into the 40% income tax rate, when you hit there and you realise that you are working on a Sunday for a tenner an hour in net pay, you start to question if the whole system is broken…
ah, a big mortgage, eh, steve.
so the reason you had to leave this country was because of the tax levels and the hyper inflation in the housing market.
hmm.. now we are getting somewhere.
but you were in favour of house price increases at the time I presume?
and then you got your fingers burned by: CAPITALISM YOU DOPEY FUCK!
WAKEY WAKEY STEVE YOU GOT FUCKED BY THE CAPITALIST HOW DOES YOUR ARSEHOLE FEEL NOW, THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS DON’T EVEN USE VASELINE BEFORE THEY STICK IT IN MOTHERFUCKERS!
you wanted it and you got it so stop fucking moaning steve.
not interested my old china.
I don’t blame you mate,if i was younger,talented and motivated i might do the same.
We are rapidly approaching the third world status test of anybody with any get up and go…………………..
It’s a good life in Dubai,thanks to all the third world slave workers that make the desert mirage reality.
Okay – TwAT, no, not a massive mortgage, just over an hundred grand. Luckily for me it;s worked out well that interest rates have come down, the rent I’m getting is more than the mortgage I’m paying – that was not the case 18 months ago…
Too Old, yeah it’s pretty good here, the only thing that’s expensive is alcohol, but six quid a pint is not that bad when you’re not paying 40% tax on your income and VAT on the beer…
‘Living in a container’, yes the workers here could be treated beter, but they are earning several times more than if they stayed in the Indian slums from which they originate. A good friend of mine from the East is supporting 10 relatives back home with what she earns here…
you cannot even afford to live in your own home.
fucking hell steve you sad fucking c’unt.
maybe you should get trained up steve and get into a line of work where you can make a decent living instead of scratching around and getting nowhere.
then you would be in a position to visit this place and tell everybody what’s what.
until then fuck off.
I really dislike whingeing tories. y’know, the ones who suck the markets cock one minute and then start whining when they lose their cash.
people like steve are part of the problem with our economy.
they think they are entitled to a no risk no downside deal.
people like fred the shred and the corrupt MPs with their expenses and people like steve with all his fucking moaning are the real problem in this country.
wankers.
useless overpaid wankers (apart from steve who has to rent out his own home because he can’t afford to live in it himself)
what a fucking carry on, innit?
I would like to ram a brick right in to this CxUNT’s face and out the other side of his miserable head – the f’ing piece of shit that has ruined our country – get him out NOW

Any truth in the rumours that McMental has testicular cancer and is terminal?
Anode or cathode? Let me apply the conducting gel to his head….
This guy could not even direct a current let alone a government.
This has all the hallmarks of a McBride rumour going for the sympathy vote.
Testicular cancer is treated by removal of testicles and possibly HRT.
Where on earth did you hear that?
A good friend of mine is a Dr
McMental has been diagonosed with ball cancer,
This has led to his recent awkward gait and incontinence
Im very pleased.
My informant also tells me that his right hand side bollock is the size of a Satsumua
Is it also true that testicular cancer is caused by not wanking enough?
No. There’s never been any sign of Gordo possessing balls.
I’d gladly give him one of mine.
YES he does !!! He owns both of us !
When a major problem arises such as the recession or the troughing chaos of parliament Brown talks as if he has just been parachuted in to sort things out and that the problems were nothing to do with him?
We face a period of economic turbulence caused by labour being in power now for the last 12 years. It is understandable that families are concerned about how the economic slowdown will affect them. This is of course a fuckin understatement! Labour will continue to take any short term decisions to maintain their grip on power and economic stability will take a back seat and the little people will have to steer themselves through these turbulent times. As we promised, british jobs for british workers, and, there will be no boom and bust, we will continue to buy votes by offering billions of pounds of unfunded tax promises and lies. This will undermine economic stability and risk taking Britain back to the days of high interest rates and three million unemployed(only 700k to go though, so we are doing quite well at the moment) and like having to borrow from the IMF under the last labour government,but we don’t care because all we want to do is stay in power and we don’t care how we do it.
I hope you realise that there is only one person in the cabinet any way?
Brown appears on television first to announce everything, so why do we bother paying any one else?
welsh plane seat workers sacked is good news. less seats means less planes. less planes means less carbon dioxide. less CO2 means less global warming. less global warming means colder, wetter British summers. less sunny, warm days means less holidaymaking in Britain, which means more travelling abroad, which means more planes, which means more plane seats which means more welsh plane seat workers.
I like that train of thought – please accept my offer to you of a place in the cabinet as chief poison taster – 24/7 – life expectancy is 2 days.
The new speaker is keen to put the bad old days behind the House,and move towards the sunny uplands of a consensus governance which will face the new political battleground that will divide the nation. This battle will be fought between the federalist,authoritarian liberal establishment,and the popularist,nationalist libertarian,anti global localists.
Gosh! I need to take that back to my old political science teacher so that he can explain it to me!!!!
Politics isn’t a science,its a religion.
only according to gordon – presbyterian moral compasses, sons of manses, and on, and on, ad nauseum
Please take this bit of well meaning advice from some one who has been running their own manufacturing company for 31 years, knows much and seen plenty.
This economy is not fucked, it is not very fucked indeed. This economy is TERMINALLY FUCKED beyond your wildest imaginings.
If any of you think this is a recession any thing like what has happened before, then please start thinking again very quickly, because your very lives and that of your family may very well depend on you doing so.
Do not be fooled into thinking that things will ever return to any kind of normality. The worlds establishment have declared war on their own people YET AGAIN, they just have not bothered to tell us that they have.
However unlike the last 30-40 times, this time there really is no way back planned to occur.
I think we all know you are right, which is why it pisses me off when I hear the green shoots of recovery bulshit. It’s a fucking mirage from where I sit, also at the head of a company.
On the bright side, swine flu might wipe us all out before it gets really serious.
Good piece by Martin Wolf in the F Times last week (16 June) about how we are tracking the Great Depression:
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/b31c06a2-5a7a-11de-8c14-00144feabdc0.html
Not sure if it can be acccessed without a sub – but the long and short is we are fucked.
My respects Mr A. You confirm what I have merely suspected and I take you at your word. As Guido has said before, buy gold. You can’t eat it but it’s prettier to look at when you’re starving than shares certificates and a whole lot heavier. 19.3 grammes per cc3.
McMental also has previous with Airbus
Not that Air France flight?
Manufacturing in UK is finished
Jaguar Land Rover – Britain’s largest automotive company employing 15,000:
sales of L/Rover Discovery in Germany in May were 45 units down from 145 units in May 2008
sales of Jaguar X-Type in Germany in May were 29 units down from 100 units in May 2008.
Overall in Europe JLR’s sales are down nearly half year on year.
Land Rovers are pieces of shit cobbled together at great expense by smug fuckwits in Birmingham (Solihul actually). Discoveries are an abomination and nobody who requires a reliable vehicle for any purpose would ever dream of buying a Land Rover.
Land Rover were successfully sued in the Irish courts for providing vehicles that were not fit for purpose.
They are shit. Indeed they aspire to being merely shit. Like this government.
really ?
try driving a renault
Renault. Great engines. Shit bodywork.
Land Rover. Shit engines. Shit bodywork. Just shit. The ultimate off-road vehicle. Always off the road and at the dealer getting fixed.
Had 3 LRs never had to send them to a garage.
Errr, if you never had to send them to the garage then why did you replace them?
I’m the kind of chap who buys a second hand car and keeps it until it uneconomical to replace a tyre.
Company car scheme, lease falls due. However my wife did not have the luxury of premium brands as per your post below.
Company car scheme? We got over that one when we did the maths. Second hand nails at auction are the way forward.
Yet again – what’s the problem. Land Rover/Jaguar goes bust and the unions can buy it for next to nothing from the receivers.
Then they can have a go at running a company instead of bitching all day from the cheap seats.
Overall in Europe JLR’s sales are down nearly half year on year.
Yet the BBC memes are that there are green shoots of recovery. That Goldman Sachs is looking on target for record bonuses this year. I suppose all that printed money had to end up somewhere. It looks like it will end up in GS bonuses in NY and Deutche Bank bonuses in Frankfurt.
Certainly not in Solihul anyway.
Where do you think the AIG ‘bailout’finished up?
Goldman’s, JP Morgan et al, that’s who. It’s why banking ‘profits’looked so good at the beginning of the year. And the US taxpayer just keeps on coughing up.
Speaking personally ….Thank you Mr Obama. Another Caribbean holiday beckons. And another. And another.
God bless idiot politicians. And the idiots who vote for them.
Speaking as a British citizen however. What a waste of fucking money. What a completely idiot way to run an economy. And our own imbecile-in-chief just emulates the idiocy. Printing money, driving the entire nation into hock just so that me and the missus can have another fortnight in St Barths.

are you a banker ?
are you a civil servant ?
Yet again another middle class ponce slamming UK manufacturing from a knowledge base of shit all.
In every other european country the middle classes get firmly behind their own products, their own producers ; here we just try to send then into the grave.
You come from that Guardian reading, anti nation, toss band which rubbishes everything this nation does while trying to tell us how civilised the french are.
i
If you cannot put your own citizens on a level playing field with foreigners then fuck off to Tuscany and live with Polly Toynbee. You’ll feel happier.
My wife had a company Discovery.
She visited me on a field crew in Oman and we went looning around the dunes in a Landcruiser. Impressed as hell she was. I’ve got to get me a 4×4 she said. But her company only did British company vehicles. So she got a Disco. A four litre petrol jobby. V8 I seem to recall.
Piece of shit. Needed a new engine after about 4,000 miles of nothing more than motorway driving.
I worked for a French company in Algeria/Tunisia. They were on a ‘buy European’fad and bought a Landrover crew cab to take us 200km across the Saharah. The fucking thing didn’t make more than one or two return journeys before conking out in the middle of the fucking desert. It’s still there.
Nobody but nobody who relies on a vehicle for their life or livelihood buys a Land Rover. They buy Landcruisers. They buy Mitsubishis. They buy Nissan Patrols.
The only bastards who rely on them for their lives are the unfortunate bastards who are forced to use them for political reasons. The British Army.
Landrover are shit.
They know it, we know it and they know that we know it.
Same for me. The only time I had to make a serious desert trip to an outlying oil well 50 miles from civilisation my mate and I were allocated a Range Rover. Bloody thing conked about halfway there and we had to be rescued a few hours later by a fortuitously passing Land Cruiser whose driver also happened to be going to the same place. I have never since trusted LR or RR for isolated desert work.
Here, here!
Since you don’t appear to live in this country it’s obvious you do not understand who JLR sell cars to. The army are not the only people who but LRs.
Last year Defenders were 25k out of 200k vehicles and the bulk of those went to farmers.
However if you would like to see our troops rely on equipment from countries like Belgium and France which will refuse to supply us in a war you’re welcome.
I’d like our troops to be supplied with Ferraris.
They’re faster, they cost about the same as a Landrover supplied to the British Army, they have the same service interval, they’ll spend less time in the garage and they’re just as reliable off-road as a fucking Landrover.
Or they could buy Landcruisers.
Ferraris would be crap, it would take 2 years on a waiting list to get one so the war would be over ( we lost ).
LRs have taken this country through every war since 1948 – which one did we lose.
Quite like Landcruisers myself, but can’t see Japan upsetting its oil suppliers in the Middle East by supplying them in time of war.
Are you a Toyota dealer ?
I am not a Toyota dealer. Nor do I own a Toyota. Although I wouldn’t mind a (second hand) diesel Corolla if they still make them.
As for a war situation then I rather hope the British army has enough spares for its Land Rovers in case a war kicks off rather than waiting for a war to kick off, getting their fleet of Landrovers out of storage and then worrying about getting down to Halfords and buying some oil filters. Although their performance in Afghanistan suggests that they really are as badly prepared (logistically) as you suggest
Same with the Army buying Landcruisers. Buy the fuckers in peacetime. Lots of them. In bulk. Dirt cheap. Buy plenty of spares. Then, when (if) war breaks out you’re in good shape until you can start manufacturing your own bootleg spares. There’s a fucking war on. D’ya think we’re going to worry about making patent payments to the Japs?
Yes
because no war ever goes to plan ( we were 6 years in Iraq – that’s a lot of spares ) and every army goes to war with fucked up equipment and needs an industrial base to correct what doesn’t work.
I’d rather the Army had GB:Mastiff(US:Cougar) MRAP vehicles…
The LDV plant could be used to make them…
No, not a banker, civil servant, nor middle class ponce. Brummie born and bred, working class. Chartered engineer from a Brummie comp. school with first class degree and fluent German. Twenty years in auto industry, first in Britain now Germany. Saw the light, eventually. Britain and the British, English middle classes particularly, despise industry. Like pushing water up a hill, working as a professional in manufacturing in UK. Germany not perfect but the average German still regards and values making things and those that can make it happen. And that’s why manufacturing, JLR, Contour seating etc etc, in UK is finished.
Despise industry, despise public sector workers. Makes me wonder what all these pious slagger-offers do themselves that make them so worthy.
What has engineering got to do with it? What British workers want is a Rolls Royce wage for an Austin Allegro job. As promised by their union convenor. If, as you say, you are a Brummie then join the club. I too was born in Birmingham.
Northfield. Just down the road from fucking Longbridge where the idiot children of the British Leyland employees I was at school with used to cheerfully doss about at school in the certain knowledge that they would, in their turn, walk into a cushty job bolting bits of badly manufactured shit with crap tolerances together when they could be bothered and then buying themselves BMWs with the insane wages they managed to screw out of the idiot government.
Then these pieces of shit would be sold to the great British public while imports of properly manufactured cars were hit with punative taxes to protect the grossly over-manned, lackadaisical idiots from the white heat of competition.
The only ones left who have yet to get their come-uppance are the bastards at Land Rover. Can’t come a fucking day too soon.
The No 10 petitions on the Downing St website are as significant and troublesome for that CxUNT Brown as a fly on the tarmac for an approaching juggernaut – it registers ZERO on his mind.
You have a point there – the top petition is asking him to resign after all!
Wales isn’t even a proper country.
How can they expect to get the benefits of all the EU brings us?
Oh wait. !!!
Here s news for you – Robin Hood was Scottish (as was Merlin and King Arthur etc, as was Pontius Pilate as was Old King Cole) and Henry the eighth was WELSH! So if you’re talking about pseudo countries, don’t pick on ancient Wales and look instead to England (which never was a territory, only a tribal dialect that caught on). In other words, English is a MEME, get it? an idea in the mind – a language construct – NO MORE THAN THAT.
Pontius Pilate was Scottish? What a load of shit.
YES – Pilate was traced to the county of Kyle (Ayrshire) in the same way as Old King Cole is a curruption of the King of Kyle *sorry* but it’s true.
Listen mate, it’s not so bad as it sounds — England NEEDS its own Parliament separate from Scotland — when the media try to obliterate a Scottish and Welsh identity they are indirectly also obliterating an English identity – that is all I am saying.
Long live a UNITED KINGDOM of Scotland England Ireland and Wales under a Federal government framework.
WTF. Pontius Pilate was traced to Kyle in Ayrshire? Using what? DNA analysis? Myth and legend? Historical documents?
what the fuck would a Scot – a belligerent race that the Romans couldn’t be bothered to interact with because their country wasn’t worth the candle of conquering – be doing in any position of authority in the Roman empire?
Seriously.
And I thought Dan Brown was being a bit flambouyant about Mary Magdalene being buried at Roslyn chapel. Maybe her and Pontius were cousins. From Scotland.
He was careful with money, hated Jews, drank a lot of vino laced with lead called ironbru and wore a skirt
QED
Hey, don’t shoot the messenger! I guess you probably think that “Britain” is another name for “England”, am I right? eh? Am I right? You think “british” is the same as “english” dontchya?
Oh, and Robert The Bruce was French. And English.
Scotland? Is that in England?
jgm2, you disappoint me. au revoir
The story about Pontius Pilate being of Scottish origin is actually pretty well known but belongs in the category of Legend like much in that period.
Strangely, many countries try and lay claim to his ancestary.
Pilate’s date and place of birth are unknown. He was the Prefect of the Roman Empire’s Judaea Province from the year AD 26 until AD 36
Italy: Several cities claim to be the birthplace of Pilatus
Scotland: Scottish legend claims that he was born and in Perthshire. However, evidence for this is lacking. While Julius Caesar landed in the south of Britain in 55 BC, he never proceeded as far as Scotland. Nor did Rome begin their invasion of Britain at large until 43 AD.
Spain: Tarraco (now Tarragona) in Spain also claims to be the true location of Pilate’s birth
Germany: A German legend recounts that he was an illegitimate son of Tyrus, king of Mayence, Germany
wtffffffffffffffff are you about Scotland didn’t even exist back when Pilate was around it was still Caledonian land.
Sorry if you Scots can’t handle the fact your descend from irish immigrants and aren’t the original occupiers of the land up in the north but it’s the truth.
Nothing about Robin Hood & Scotland in Wikipedia. Where are your sources for claiming this English folklore character Pact Scotus Englis?
From Caledonia to Pictland examines the transformation of Iron Age northern Britain into a land of Christian kingdoms, long before ‘Scotland’came into existence. Perched at the edge of the western Roman Empire, northern Britain was not unaffected by the experience, and became swept up in the great tide of processes which gave rise to the early medieval West. Like other places, the country experienced social and ethnic metamorphoses, Christianisation, and colonization by dislocated outsiders, but northern Britain also has its own unique story to tell in the first eight centuries AD.

Abit of history for you to buy and read up on Pact Scotus mate
Easiest is ti try http://dsl.ac.uk (dictionary of the Scots Language) and search for Robin Hood.
Matt C — open your cloth ears and stop being so silly
The only job that Brown has got to do is blow his useless brains out with a Magnum 44 – the most powerful decongestant in the world – will certainly sort out his mouth movement thingy (do you think he’s got one of Mandelson’s pubic hair’s in his teeth when he does that weird lower jaw thing?).
He could do it with a strawberry mivvie for all I care, so long as he takes the action neccessary
Did anyone hear Boy Wonder Cooper last week talking about how the youth of today will be GUARANTEED jobs – when asked by an incredulous V Derbyshire on R5,she said that the govt will be getting businesses to offer jobs for them.
Questions;
1.)Which companies are ever going to be able to employ anyone extra when they are laying people off?
2.)Will they pay the youth of today any money for these “jobs”?
3.)Which drug does the boy wonder Cooper take to reach such a state of complete fantasy?
Tomorrow she will be on TV trying to convince us that night is day and day is night ‘cos she said so and if you don’t believe her,Adolf will be round with his Himmler haircut and Hitler eyes to sort you out.
Shahid Malik is yet again fingered by the Telegraph.
“The parliamentary under-secretary of state for communities, partly responsible for the council tax system” has “overclaimed” Council Tax on expenses “by at least £1,015″.
Words fail me.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5606530/MPs-expenses-Shahid-Malik-over-claimed-for-council-tax.html
I was his boss; accountancy is not our strongest suit….
“A million percent within the rules”.
His lawyer has told the Telegraph:
“If there has been any overpayment, it is entirely inadvertent and the result of a failure properly to reconcile the claim with the annual figure. If any public money has been overpaid, that amount will be repaid immediately.”
This cannot go on. It is a 100% fraud. End of Story. Go NOW Malik.
Shabby, stick with me. If we can’t hide from the truth, let’s play the ‘card’
Well words don’t fail me! He is probably the only Minister to have claimed for two offices within his constituency. Dodgy low priced deals with his landlord. Several flat screen TV’s – max ACA claims and on and on …………..
There is now a petition running in his constituency for him to resign as MP. I hope it succeeds!!!!
It would be good to see a Justice Minister of this rotten corrupt Labour Government prosecuted for fraud. I think it would be very appropriate.
http://www.timetogomrmalik.co.uk/ is the petition, surprisingly only 1292 signatures so far.
Nell, Malik is behind only Margaret Moron on the list of MPs that the Met need to look at, a complete Hoon and totally unrepentant.
Well I hope they get them both!
If they don’t I think the Met have to explain to us why they are not seeking the prosecution of these MP criminals when they are harassing others for lesser crimes.
Boris you had better be listening!!!!
Has anyone accidentally under-claimed??
Ann Widdecombe.
She gave money back a couple of years ago. She was overcharged on estimated utility bills which was later refunded to her. She returned the overpayment to the fees office.
Is it not about time that our beloved PM made a state visit to North Korea?
Surely the poor souls are crying out for his help?
Can it coincide with the release of a missile headed to Hawaii and the subsequent obliteration of North Korea from any text book atlas?
If North Koreas missiles are anything like as shit as their nuclear bombs they’re more likely to land on China than Hawaii.
They say that the nk army would rush the south if they were attacked but I reckon that a couple of nukes would have them surrendering in a flash and a flick of a light like the japanese did. Game over.
I’d say that the NK army would be destroyed by conventional means before they got too far south. The yanks would riddle them from the air a la Basra Road and the Dear Leader with the world’s worst fucking hairdo would be doing a Comical Ali back in Pyong-yang.
Fucking lunatic.
It’s fucking lunatics like Kim Jong Il that allow fucking lunatics like George Bush to gain power.
We end up in a kind of arms race of idiocy where our lunatic has to demonstrate he’s more nuts than their lunatic in the hope that their lunatic will see sense and stop being such a fucking lunatic. Which is kind of unlikely since he’s a fucking lunatic.
It’s how we ended up with Brown too. Tribal party politics. Our idiot is a bigger fucking idiot than you’re idiot and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Right. Just wait till our idiot gets into power and then we’ll see who is the biggest idiot….
Brown is winning so far. But maybe the Tories can conjure up an even bigger idiot. I wouldn’t have thought so but then I didn’t think Major could be beaten for sheer idiocy and he’s been trumped not once but twice already.
It’s said that the NK armies advance would stall at the first supermarket…
that would be a good place for the ruin to visit
After yesterday’s very depressing election but probably “last insult to the voters” let’s cheer everyone up and invent a good nickname for the poison dwarf from Golders Green. Gorbals Mick was perfect for the last one. Why not an equally good one for Bercow, before he returns to the back benches.
Surely the French are just about to BAN the BURKHA – and now we have one in the House of Commons as a Speaker (more like GRINNER).
I think we’ve decided Anonymous –
it’s going to be:
Mr Squeaky!!
Sorry forgot to say:
It’s “Mr Squeaky of The Parliament of Thieves”.
This Parliament MUST be remembered as “The Parliament of Thieves”.
Just s Cromwell’s Parliaments were known as the Short and Long Parliaments.
This one too must go down in history.
“Parliament of Thieves”. Much better than “Duck Island Parliament” which the White Suit Man tried to sell on QT.
I am still shaking with rage over the new Malik revelations. I feel my tongue has been stolen.
The Capone Whorehouse more like arf arf
Go to Bed!!!
I’ll talk to your Mother later about your bad behaviour on here all day!
Did you hear me!! I said go to bed –
You are a public school boy who is misbehaving – Just do as you are told !!!!
He isn’t from Golders Green he was birthed in Edgware and schooled in Finchley which is bordering GG. Anyway, we pay him to wear the outfit so why has he chosen to do away with it? It’s wrong because a policeman has to wear the uniform so the Speaker should wear the uniform innit?
Mr Berk.
Le beurre de vache?
did anyone see Bercow being interviewed by ITV news at 6.30
No I know why they say the more you see him etc …what an asshole. The reporter and the anchor lady in the studio were just stunned by his rudeness and arrogance at the end of the interview.
http://www.itv.com/img/150×113/John-Bercow-ea02c927-b136-4668-aa29-c4b0424fe566.jpg
Down with “technical issues” right now.
It was just working from the link below… An arrogant tosser without the sense to hide it, even on his first day in the post.
Gordon DOES have ball cancer
See above
Piles? That I believe. It’s all to do with pressure on the lower bowel.
A good friend of mine is a Dr
McMental has been diagonosed with ball cancer,
This has led to his recent awkward gait and incontinence
Im very pleased.
My informant also tells me that his right hand side bollock is the size of a Satsumua
So is my mate’s nose. Should he be worried?
McMentals gonad
Not my informant
McMental also has piles
Piles of our money.
Do i need a smears test?
McPoison was rightly pilloried here for his pathetic attempts to spread falsehoods and smears across the net.
Like when he was going to try and smear Cameron about a personal problem of an “intimate” nature.
Looks like it was really just envy after all from some posters who secretly worship and actually want to be McPoison. Just a Conservative McPoison.
A scumbag by any other name or Party affiliation smells just as foul.
Unfortunately cancer of the ‘nads in the UK is one of the few cancers with survival rates better than the global average with Scottish patients doing okay on this front. We will just have to hope that he gets a melanoma or something.
Last time you wheeled out your Dr knowledge you mixed up tri-cyclic and SSRI anti-depresents….
That was a saturday night to remember!
Are you sure it isn’t actually a satsuma?
He’s working his way up to a grapefruit.
It’s all lies I tell you.
I have had TC – when I was 37yrs old – classic age group; 17 – 40yrs.
If he has it he would be wheeled in for an op within days – he has not been and so can conclude it’s not true.
He does have a lot of other thing VERY wrong with him that a bullet would go some way to helping greatly.
Brown just makes my skin crawl….he is so hideous that he scares my children. Oh, and all that caked on make-up. Yeurghhh! I just switch him off whenever he is on because he is so odious.
Is it too much to have a bloody General Election soon?
have you sealed up your fandango careless wench
Barclays have just ejected dozens from The Telegraph Blog Pages.
‘You’re comment is awaiting moderation’
Tiny light grey type.
Why didn’t they just send us all an email telling us to clear off?
If it is anything to do with the latest news on Malik then I suspect overactive intervention from Carter-Ruck or his heirs. Nothwithstanding, and in the alternative, The Telegraph have been very courageous and I believe we should cut them some slack. We can also be assured that the stern printed drivel of my learned friends is going to be quite the opposite of what they dribble into their cups at El Vino.
New site is shite
Dear Mrs Trellis
fuck off
The Daily Telegraph
the famine is over why dont you go home ….with the gypos
Any more of that and i’ll nail you to an iron cross
Bercow just on ITV news. A bitter aura of Napoleon complex I thought.
Yes I think you are right – he is very Napoleonic.
Napoleon , of course, came to a bad end
Exile on Elba and arsenic poisoning wasn’t it ??
Watch Tom Bradby’s interview:
http://www.itv.com/news/
From about 4 minutes in.
This inept excuse for a government should bang one fukking great nail in the coffin of Marxism for good.
Socialism does not work, it cannot ever work, it will not fly, its a busted flush, its its ….rubish, pants, crap …..you only have to look at the twats who push its agenda — they have even had the nerve to push an unelected demented Cyclops into the position of Prime Minister for god’s sake.
I’m getting on with the job…..Started in the americas……..Do nothing Black Pigs……….
Years ago I was told the worst type of worker was a hard worker who was stupid. He would do a lot of work but as he was stupid, he did it all wrong, and left a big mess.
Sounds a bit like our Prime Minister who’s always getting on with the job.
I agree!! A nail in the coffin!!
Brown needs counsellingh. Quick! These dogs are better than Derek Draper. And cheaper, too…
is Old King Cole any relation to Cheryl?
No, she is the grand daughter of Nat King Cole, sister of Natalie Cole and half brother of Michael “Mind my bouffant” Cole. Or so I am led to believe.
I shall talk to the Principal and Bursar of your private school!!
You are being a complete nuisance!!!
It is clear that the older boys of your school are buyng you alcohol, and stacking it in the crevices of the parish council’s car park stone walls .
Where, I am sorry to say, they are also storing their jazz mags!
Absolutely!! –
It is time for us to stop this nonsense!!!!
I have been told by the Brown Broadcasting Corporation that I have to rename my ship!
It seems that the name ‘The Black Pig’ has upset some Baroness
Well perhaps a better name would be:
” The BaronessU’s Italian Marble Palace”
We must not allow ourselves to become inured by the expenses scandal.
Harriet Harman announces today that “MPs who knowingly make a false claim on their expenses face going to prison for up to 12 months”. This is spun as the government “getting tough on MPs” and “sorting the expenses out”. It is nothing of the sort. It is a smokescreen which hides its lack of action against MPs who have already submitted “knowingly false claims”.
This is the government with a Justice Minister who claims to have made rental payments in cash to his landlord, a known political supporter, but is unable to support the claims with documentary evidence. A Minister who is reappointed as a Communities Minister and then found to have overclaimed Community Charges in his Parliamentary Expenses. There are many other examples. Shahid Malik is not the only fraudster.
Are we all going to have to march on Buckingham Palace to demand the Queen dissolve this Parliament of Thieves. I am in my mid 50s and have never taken part in a public demonstration in my life. I am however willing to walk anywhere at any time to remove this deeply dishonest and offensive government.
Me too. 50+ law abiding, tax paying professional (was) and I am willing to make a stand against these deceitful *astards.
Good suggestion – to march on Buckingham Palace – makes it far less “political” and more a march for her support.
Plus far more room to hold 2 million people plus along The Mall.
But the question is – how do we organise such a march – WHO IS THE FIRST ONE TO START IT UP AND GET IT MOVING – as any appeal on this blog falls on deaf ears and is ignored.
I have stated so often on this blog – stop talking and get walking – march on Buck Palace to ask the Queen for a dissolution.
and gordon’s sky tv subs and food and expensive “cleaner” he shares with his brother and his office in scotland where he claims expenses and he sub lets and his gardening and…. why don’t Dont Panic Dont Panic Gordon?? I am so jealous
still smarting from bercow…
Job losses at aircraft seating firm, yet the Home Office can spend £1 million on a project in Kent to help failed asylum seekers and their children go home – and in one year only managed to send one family back. The charities involved are of course blaming the Home Office for mismanaging the project – well, they would, wouldn’t they – but it didn’t stop them taking the money, did it.
This is public money. I’m so angry I’m speechless
I don’t condone the violence perpetrated on the Romanians in Belfast (actually they were gypsies, selling Big Issue) but it certainly had the desired effect
Useless at everything you do in the real world?
No idea of how the real world works?
Completely unable to hold a rational debate because of your twisted lefty ideology?
Think everyone else on the planet is wrong and you’re the only one in the right?
Everyone laughing at you because you’re a fucking useless waste of skin?
Is your sense of entitlement only surpassed by your sense of self-importance?
Want to take half the year off with full pay?
Become a teacher.
Gordon Brown says he will, and I think he’ll fit in quite well.
Within a week he would have alienated all his colleagues and as many parents as he came into contact with. If he comes to my kids school I will remove them!
What of LDV vans they are worthy of saving , but don’t tell Brown!
