Derek Ducks Out of PR Masterclass
Sadly Guido’s old adversary Derek Draper ducked out of giving us the benefit of his PR and blogging expertise at PR Week’s “new media” conference at the very last moment. Guido had to improvise his speech since he was expecting to just have another ding-dong with Draper. Most speakers seemed to be using Draper as a case study in how not to win friends and influence people online. At the conference Guido learnt that LabourHome’s Alex Hilton has gone all corporate and formed a “Digital PR Consultancy” with David Prescott. So no more monkeying around from him.
Incidentally, the Henry Jackson Society have organised a talk for next Tuesday to which they sent out invitations on Monday. All tickets went straight away, much to the surprise of the non-partisan society which usually holds dry talks about geo-political flash points like the Middle East. Such is the demand for tickets the organisers have now moved the event to the biggest room available in Parliament, the Grand Committee room.
When you know that the speakers on the subject of ‘the internet: saviour or corruptor of democracy?’ include Nick Robinson, Guido and Sir Michael White, you would be right to guess that this could make the Hamas – Likud peace negotiations look calm by comparison. Unlike Nick, Guido won’t be pulling his punches…
I can’t imagine Nick Robinson getting excited about anything, unless his wife mixed up a pair of his dark grey socks with his black ones.
unfair on Mrs Robinson
She is obviously both blind and deaf
Fucking cruel of you to pick on her
I thought toenails was shagging Sir Michael or is it the other way round?
Mark Thompson, head of the BBC, has disclosed some of his expenses.
“On the same day as his family’s flight back to the UK, October 30 last year, Mr Thompson also claimed £500 for hotel rooms in the towns of Siracusa and Ragusa in Sicily, where he is believed to have been spending his holiday [surely that should come out of his salary?], and a further £206 for what is described in the accompanying notes as “holiday cut short”. [Isn't that normally covered in a travel insurance policy?]
In 2004 Mr Thompson put the £1,277.71 cost of chartering a private plane on expenses, again because he had to curtail a family holiday to deal with an “urgent staff issue” in London. [Was his physical presence actually needed to cope with something relatively simple? He's in the media business and yet doesn't understand discussing issues or issuing instructions away from the office. Also was an assessment undertaken to establish whether a cheaper flight, arriving perhaps a couple of hours later, was available?]
He claimed £99.99 last year for a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvee champagne -an 80th birthday gift for entertainer Bruce Forsyth – and spent £500 on a Christmas dinner for BBC executives in 2007.”
Chartered Accountant – What a liberty!
Why couldn’t he just get a normal scheduled flight back to London?
What a troughing shit. No more TV tax for him from me. Fuck off.
Just don’t pay the telly tax. It’s easy. Look on the net to see how easy!
Well, that’s him out of a job then. Bearded hippy turd.
I know it’s good to bash the BBC here, but if my boss wanted me back early from holiday to sort out a crisis, he would be sure as fuck to get the bill for changing my family’s flights! Anyone disagree?
Siracusa and Ragusa? How very gauche. I hope they took Kevin McCloud with them to explain all the brutalist architecture.
Sir Michael is an horrible Huhne. Watch him Guido.
Steve Expat – I wouldn’t expect my company to fork out on my own personal private plane home. What have the family got to do with it? They are not urgently required back home.
£1,277.71 to hire a private plane from Sicily?
Fucking good value. BA want £400 a seat to be served cold partially chewed plastic by women who look like Ann Widdecombe after a fight.
If my employer wants me back ASAP then it’s up to them to pay for it.
It’s not I believe the price of the private plane that he billed but the price of rearranging it at short notice – if it’s the cost of the plane itself then I’m taking a private plane the next time I go on holiday!
The ‘bearded hippy turd’ is a passerine bird in the family Hirundinidae, characterised by their adaptation to aerial feeding. It has a cosmopolitan distribution across the world and breed on all the continents except Antarctica. It is believed that this family originated in Africa as hole-nesters; Africa still has the greatest diversity of species.
Here’s to you, Mrs Robinson….
Jesus loves you more than you will know
We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files
We’d like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
The Penguin
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey hey.
counting the cars on the New jersey turnpike !
this whole thing start’ed in America !
(yuk overmoderated try again….)
“time … is tapping on my forehead” … “Ere My good friend Mr. Simon , are you taking the piss or what”
excellent gender & race balance amongst the speakers.
My gender is perfectly balanced. One ball each side.
yes i did notice the graphic , hat extension and and those shiney heads , hope it doesnt end like dales spat with arronovitch , note to commons bars dont serve guido alcohol until after event .
Check out Guido’s mongrel genes before you make a comment like that.
and Robinson’s.
And Michael Whitewash’s
Can anyone recommend a good Muslim blog? Or even a black one?
OH – yes, black – To Miss With Love.
That’s about it though.
OH – yes – try
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/
Hilarious. Not very PC though. The folks at the Guardian wouldn’t be pleased. They take the piss out of everyone.
Yeah, right. Let’s see a bit more sure fire objectivity. Where’s the fragrant Yasmin and Yvonne? And Tariq, Sunny, and Sunder? And Lord Ahmed’s private army for security.
“recommend a good Muslim blog” bit of a no brainer.
Who gives a toss?
OH, I have had Widders on the undercard of some of my cage fights. No one’s ever laid a hand on her. Seriously, never marked. The woman’s mental. She just looks like that.
Yes you are right, it is shameful how many racial groups have been excluded.
Given that there are over 130 different races living in London, it is disgusting that there are so many underepresented, by the three speakers listed.
I note with interest the lack of transgendered and lesbian speakers ( although Lady Shite is offered as a token to the LGBT community ) as well as the visually impaired community, the travelling community and a whole host of other communities snubbed comprehensively, by the narrow minded bigots who selected the speakers.
Shame on the blatant and repressive ismists, who have niavely played into the hands of the B`N`P and other race hate groups such as the Labour party, who openly endorse, racism, sexism and discrimination via its relevant Minister of State Harriet Harmmen.
I think the Police should be informed.
Nope, I’m stumped. There are only five races on the planet.
They are:
Negroid
Causcasian
Capoid
Mongoloid
Australoid.
Quite how London got 130 is beyond me although a trip to Shoreditch market might enlighten me.
It’s probably a reference to the number of languages spoken by residents in London. I heard it was actually more like 140, English being one of them.
Technically, there is only one human race (technically in a genetic sense). For races to be distinct they must be significant populations where the genetic expressions (phenotypes) are greater between the populations than between individuals within a population. Therefore, the term ” the human race” is aptly applied to Homo Sapiens sapiens. At least that’s what I was told in my human genetics lectures at Uni.
Perhaps that means that all races are indeed included in the line-up.
it all started in Africa.
Down at my local hairdressers there is only one human gender as well,. I’m sure of it. Come to think of it the sign above the door even says unisex.
“Nope, I’m stumped. There are only five races on the planet.
They are:
Negroid
Causcasian
Capoid
Mongoloid
Australoid.”
Old hat Old Holborn, perhaps you should get in touch with your local diversity co-ordinator.
Scientific measurements of race have been replaced with none of those fuddy duddy interpretations.
Pretty much anyone from Scotsmen to Chileans are all perversely deemed to be racial groups these days.
Romanians attacked by Irishmen in Belfast? It is called racism now. Rewriting the books to include the latest revision of facts, will of course follow in due course.
Can you please invite BBC TV to broadcast this event
Seeing you rip up Toenails and Lord White will be far more worthwhile and newsworthy than PMQs…
Just after the BBC Wimbledon summary tonight I recommend….
Capoid, OH? Like in Dutch Capoid???
Is anyone going to be recording it?
Sounds like a giggle…
What a shame Guido – I can imagine what Dolly’s face looked like when he found out you were speaking at the same conference! No wonder he ran a mile!
That fat Hoon (Draper) couldnt run 10 yards without having a heart attack
unless it involved ordering another drink at closing time.
That fat Hoon (Draper) couldnt run 10 yards without having a heart attack
Let’s enter him in the London marathon!!!
Perhaps someone tied him up in the toilets so he couldnt turn up to speak.
It has happened before.
Details please Tin, sounds like a very interesting story
Details are sketchy – Runshaw College, approx 1984, some sort of student meeting/elections hustings. Two goths. Job done.
Rather interesting indeed.
Guido, do you have anyone in your large address book who went to college with Dolly?
Once a cnut, always a cnut obviously, he would only have been about 16 in 1984!!
someone tied him upto toilets in the toilet
Was Toilets at the same college?
Do I detect a sudden lack of confidence on Mr Drapers behalf about appearing in public? He might want to see a psychotherapist about that.
I was banking on that £30 fee as well. Can anyone lend me a fiver till Sunday?
Yes Derek, I will lend you a fiver.
But you will have to repay me on the same terms as PFI.
So I will expect a return payment of £100,000,000.
Do you accept those terms?
The British Taxpayer has had to.
Fucking chicken shit.
Would that be the excreta of a chicken enjoying intercourse, or chicken exceta that is enjoying intercourse?
I think he means the chicken is not very good at intercourse
Wansnsee, you should have said:
He might want to seek a qualified psychotherapist about that…
Whatever, Guido, best of luck, but take care as it’s sure to be the other two hoons ganging up on you. Anyone know if Mr Drooper is still providing therapy or did BACP grow some balls?
Mr Drooper has found “God”
God help God as they say
God is running as fast as He can in the other direction, I know, He nearly knocked me over this morning hailing a cab.
That reminds me of my teenage son’s joke:
Why is Osama Bin Laden cleverer than God?
Because George Bush found God….
Poor Guido. Bet you were looking forward to taking the candy off the baby…Derek, if you read this blog (I’m sure you’re TwAT) then you are a big fat chicken.
no no new girl, I am the heroic and independent thick as thieves and derek is a complete cretin.
can’t you tell the difference? you must be on crack you wanker!
and you, oldtart, are a tory troll.
see, not so hard to get to the truth, is it?
oh and dave cameron your leader is a housing benefit cheat millionaire.
what a fucking c’unt, eh?
Nice one new girl, I think you have managed to offend him! By the way I enjoyed your liberal stuff about gays, Tat, any luck for cretins, retards and spastics?
nick robinson is Mc mental’s spin doctor !
Then Mcmental needs to sue for professional misconducrt
Yes, I am but I only charge ‘small beer’.
Toenails is Eric Morcambe reincarnated but funnier!
And balder.
why is he called Toenails?
So far up Gordoom’s arse that’s all anybody can usually see of him.
McMental should demand his money back, because he is sh**e.
Don’t forget to ask Nick how much he is paid and for a printout of his last 36 months expenses.
As I said above, it’s all ‘small beer’, particularly when you consider the unbiased quality of reporting I produce.
Nah, thats French tennis players.
Dear Mr Fawkes
After the meeting perhaps you could tell me how you manage to find out all these interesting facts.
My sources at NuLab are so predictable but you will understand that my bosses are keen that the Conservatives don’t get into power which does make my life difficult.
Regards
Nick
Dear Mr Toenails.
Here are some hot stories for you to get your teeth into, straight from BBC sources.
Corus have cut 2000 jobs
{balance this with the 2 that are opening at Greggs in Doncaster.}
Tories pay back £500,000 in fraudulent expense claims.
{balance this with the story that Ed Miliband once took a pencil sharpener by accident but has since paid the money back}
FakeCharidee tractor stat of the day. {All the roads in Britain are too dangerous to drive on. 100% of all road deaths are caused by not being alive.}
The Earth is now warming to such an extent that coat manufacturers are switching to Speedo production {no stats yet..make some up..who’s gonna check them?}
Hope this is of some assisstance.

Mr Quango,
come off it bill, you know the fucking score.
it is very reckless of you to wind up the bloodthirsty lynch mob and then spin it off in the direction of nick ‘I just love the taste of gordon brown’s arsehole’ robinson.
as you well know nick robinson is down’s syndrome.
we will not reclaim our country by and I will not be associated with the hanging of cripples Bill, and if you insist on lynching and hanging this crippled traitor then that is up to you sir.
I will not condone your actions.
I am fairly comfortable about a bullet being discharged into the back of the c’unts head though.
the shooter could rightly claim that I could not see the propagandists eyes as he stood behind the kneeling body and therefore it was impossible to see that nick was down’s syndrome.
that’d work.
ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! that is the funny shit!!!
I trust BBC licence payer will not be funding Robinson’s appearance and he will be booking a half day off work.
I am sorry but that information is confidential.
Best to opt out of paying the licence fee really, it’s only going to pay horrendous expenses to braindead fat cats, not creating new exciting programs.
Appearence?
The ugly Fucker should only be allowed out of his home with at least 5 paper bags on his head
Plastic bags would be better.
A commode would be better still.
I think you’ll find he’s got one on already.
Why does he always appear on TV wearing a motorcycle helmet?
is nick robinson sg’t bilko ?
Is he The Smeg?
Almost certainly. Nick Brown is Doberman.
Nick brown would sniff anyone’s arse !
He looks like Penfold.
Polly is spot on as ever:
“For years Rupert Murdoch has poured his anti-BBC poison into the ears of his readers, viewers, and the politicians who pay him such assiduous court.”
“Murdoch’s papers harry the BBC as a pinko conspiracy and a poll-taxing leech on the hardworking populace.”
It a shame that readers of the right wing press/blogs are so brianwashed.
I’ve never washed in Brian and resent the implication
ha ha i’m peeing my pants!!!!
(typical behaviour of the right-wing brianwashed)
He’s just a naughty boy
Not the Messiah, then?
My Brian hurts !!
StT. You are the original Brian Clot and I claim my five pounds.
All together now;
“Always look on the bright side of life….”
Television is a dying medium.
At least Polly Toynbee is on the money:

Not only would the torys cut everything they would also embark on cultral vandelism
“Cultral vandelism” of the kind visited on the education system by your little pals in the Labour Party, no doubt.
Illiterate twat.
Ha ha ha – You’ve got a choice, do you believe Polly, Darling and Gordoom, or Mervyn, Dave and the OCED?
You can see that a NuLab education has done you good.
The old twit didn’t even pass her 11+ so just ignore her
“Cultural vandalism” is the Beeb’s responsibility and judging by your spelling and grammar, you’ve been watching far too much of it.
What with Brianwashed and culteral vandalism the problem is pipple done speke proper Englander no more not like when I was a children. Sons of Dolly Draper Ha! Ha! Ha!. How much money have New Labour poured into our education system?.
Oh, do keep up everyone – Stop The Tories is a straightforward spoof.
TORIES – how many times do I have to tell you how to spell it.
Education, edyercashun, edyerkasian
–1997– —2003— –2009–
Polly doesn’t mention the Tories in her article as far as I can see. She is complaining about Labour’s proposal to spend some of our licence fees on output from other TV companies.
we have no culture left to vandalize . Nu liebore have distroyed the last remnant’s of it !
“The BBC, it’s so good you won’t voluntarily pay for it so we use force”.
This must only make sense to a socialist.
Mc mental is so good we will keep him in power !
109 – are you and Voting Floater related in any way?
not at all !
It is when Polly is on it.
true that.
TRUE THAT!!
“Buggers Broadcasting Communism” has never appeared (to my knowledge) in any Murdoch rag. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted as the true meaning of ‘BBC.’ People don’t judge Auntie on the basis of what they read about it in the papers; it’s in your face 24/7 – leftie propaganda morning, noon and night. So don’t be so fucking patronising.
I’ve always assumed that the ‘TV Detector Vans’ are empty. The evidence for this is that (a) you see them parked in areas where people work, not touring areas where people live (b) the ‘electronic equipment’ on top looks like something out of Thunderbirds (c) they are never cited in evidence against alleged licence evaders (d) it would surely be difficult to distinguish between a TV screen showing a DvD and one using a ‘live’ feed (e) they send out demands to homes that do not have a TV, so they don’t actually know who has one.
Do what I do. Shoot anyone who walks up the drive.
Of course they don’t know who has a TV, and even if they could “detect” it, I doubt it would be legal or acceptable evidence in court.
The vans are fake, all four of them. The BBC refused to tell me how many there were when I made a FoI request.
Despite the fact that my forced contributions are used to fund these Stazi operations.
I so rarely watch BBC these days, yet it costs me £130 a year.
I bet it would be free if I voted Labour / didn’t have a job / worked in the public sector / was an immigrant (do not delete as appropriate as all are synonymous).
the detector vans used to work back in 1965 ! they stopped outside my nextdoor neighbours house One guy knocked on the door the other guy went around the back . just in time to see my neighbour shoving his telly in the bin !
I’m gonna stand here and be lectured by a pervert
Come home to Daddy.
Now this is one talk I would like to see/hear. Go for it, Guido.
Take a long spoon and lots of garlic, Fawkes ! ps , please ask ‘Toenails Robinson’ the following : a) what percentage of the readers posts on his beeboid blog are critical of his analysis. b) what percentage of posts submitted by readers are moderated. c) why is he such a fawning little cnut ?
Just give ‘kneepads’ a kick in the scrotum and reming him that government job adverts online, will be coming shortly.
Toesnails does indeed need a good “reaming”
With a broom handle
Knock a few four inch nails through it first.
The Penguin
or a christmas tree !
Nah. Soldering iron, inserted handle first so he burns his fingers trying to extract it.
wicked !
Isn’t it odd that when anybody does anything slightly novel, somebody else immediately sets themselves up as a consultant on the subject.
Your words will carry weight Guido – experience and stat porn will out.
Wil McBride and Watson be in attendance?
No McPoison has been dropped into the Irish Sea
And Watson has been hired by weightwatchers at an inflated fee…
Please nail that Nu Labour turd Michael White, Guido.
The Anti British Broadcasting Corporation – the Front Desk for The Guardian and elements of this rogue government – is an anachronistic nationalised industry packed with the North London Marxist mafia. It is a pit of troughers whose arrogance and disdain for the poll tax paying mugs who keep them in Cuban champagne is both corrupt and sinister.
This organisation loathes most things that the British hold dear and pays homage to a host of nasty little causes, laced with a poisonous political correctness that has infected it’s so-called balance. It’s news gathering is no longer accurate or authentic. It breaks its Charter regularly and is fined repeatedly by Ofcom and WE pay the fines! Your ‘aving a laff, maties…
It is run by commissars, similar to the NuLab special adviser cronies that have dismantled the integrity of our once great Civil Service. They are the last bastian of Liberal Left priviledge and are notorious throughout the media industry for their sense of entitlement and their fiddles. The line of taxis waiting outside Television Centre is testimony to their superiority complex. The BBC is like the Dome under Nude Labour. It’s filled with noxious Orwellian on-message mantras that satisfy only those who work for this unworkable edifice. Like the Dome, it will only work properly when it is privatised.
The BBC has promoted climate change into a religion, attacked Christians & Jews and promoted Islam, denigrated our national identity, promoted Hamas, the IRA and Hezbollah to the pantheon of greats and indulges in unpleasant and nasty depictions of those it despises most – the poll tax mugs who pay for it.
Compare the excellent coverage this week by News at Ten on ITV of Pakistan and Afghanistan to the simpering, miserable and vile bigotry pumped out byFrei and Guerin (the woman who proves that the dead still walk the earth.)
Friends in the Middle East and Africa tell me that no one takes the BBC seriously any more. They see it as inaccurate and flawed, with a one dimensional, narrow elitist view of world events.
The lefty’s in Beebland must be in total confusion right now. After years of talking up the thugocracy in Iran, they are struggling to come to terms with recent events.
Expose them. Dismantle the monster.
Spot on as always, Reaper. The BBC slush fund needs forensic examination
Well ranted!! (Though I do think Paxman on Newsnight and QT are quite entertaining…)
How do we dismantle Brown’s Biased Corporation?
Answers on a postcard to:
Mr Blobby
PO Shitbox 69
Which is totally different to a couple of Labour MPs forgetting to live in the house they’re claiming second home allowance and ACA for, or a Chancellor who flips a home once a year, or a labour MP who fogets that his mortgage has been paid off. HOON.
Good one, Reaper. I’m looking forward to the morning after the next GE when the corridors of the BBC will be littered with empty bottles of household bleach. I’ll always remember that.
GF, Just nail that Huhne White. Smug twat.
Which century?
I repeat – which century? At least I can read books, an ability and inclination you would appear to lack.
Surely, you mean “spat” onto him?
A transcript of the “talk” would be interesting for us mere mortals.
No it wouldn’t. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING
innit!
that ‘innit’ was ‘a transcript would be interesting, innit’, not ‘zzzzzzzzzzz boring, innit’.
Bored people are boring…
I wonder if the people who obtained tickets to the event solely to do a bit of Dolly baiting, or to laugh at said Dolly can get their money back…it is not much of a freak show without the freaks
I dunno – Toenails & The White Queen will both still be there!
Guido, rather than digging out your Berkley t-shirt as Dolly won’t be there, why don’t you take us on a trip down memory lane and wear one like this?
http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/competitionnews/392/68779.html
No surprise. It’s a police state, innit?
I don’t care, I’ll say it.
Bollocks to Bliar.
How about “BROWN SAYS BALLS TO EDUCATION”
***Applause***
***sustains applause***
Gudio
I think you should go dressed as a orderly from the Priory
The Priory could do with some more advertising…
I think Guido should wear nice T-shirt with the image of Piers Morgan on it dressed only in a thong. And perhaps with the words, “How’s this for a quarter pounder, missus?”
Here comes lunch……
But won’t Nick be at Wimbledon flogging his Barley Water?
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It’s a little secret, just the Robinsons’ affair
Most of all, you’ve got to hide it from the kids
The Penguin
Nope: selling small beer.
Order! Order! Can I have a small one?
Stop squeaking place
That’s not what your missus asked for.
Now I do not believe that you wanna go putting Barley in your water.
Sock it to Toenails Guido..
What a disgrace
Not even a pretence of objectivity
And paid by US..
As for White
Please call him “Lord White” now and see his reaction
And tell him he will find lots of “friends” i the stinking institution full of corrupt Labour luvvies (before we abolish the stinking institution …along with the BBC !)
Good luck old son…
PS I liked your article in the Times as well…
Why not call him GOB’SH’WHITE
Do be wearing a rugby shirt though Guido. Also do get thoroughly plastered and make a tit of yourself. This will help explain again why you’re a successful blogger not a Media hoon.
Being sick over White would make excellent news!
How about rushing that Zambian monkey over and perching it above Shite’s head?
Dear All
So what if Dolly Draper is a shitbag?
The smoke hasn’t cleared from the battle field, the groans of the wounded still echo in the ears.
Draper is waiting for a time when he can burst onto the social scene like a virgin or butterfly.
Fat virgins and butterflies always attract attention.
He will present himself as a sensitive soul, ‘I feel your pain’ type of a dude.
He will be back like a cold sore, give the boy enough time to peek out after the next General Election when snouts change at Westminister.
I wonder who wears the trousers in his family?

ps I got a world scoop on my blog before the papers about the SNP Candidate standing down.
herpes simpletonex.
You’ve pissed yourself again George, nurse will be along to wipe you clean soon enough.
Dear Toady
This arselicking to Labour has to stop, you are making a fool of yourself on here.
Drop by my website and leave a comment, it is a Justice Blog highlighting real scum!

Ha ha… World scoop… SNP… you hold the front page and I’ll call CNN…

I got it out before the press did in Glasgow!
It is a small scoop but my first!
The only scoop to come your way will be the one for lifting dogshit!
Yours sincerely

I got it out before the press did in Glasgow!
Easy dat if it’s published before “last orders”
well done on your scoop George…fuck the haters!!
Obviously Dolly has been reading the Prime Minister’s most excellent book on “Courage.”
Drinking it, more like.
There’s a sequel coming out called “Cowardice.”
Surely you meant “prequel”?
Wish I was there. Anyone live streaming it on the net?
Guido could wear a wireless ‘Guidocam’?
Who knighted White, and why??
L’Abour-unreal : “Because he’s worth it”
White is the image of my old Maths master. He was such a cruel arrogant fucker that on our last day at school 10, yes 10 boys saved their morning shit and we put it in his briefcase. Boys will be boys eh.
***applause***
He is now selling the briefcase on Ebay. Beast of Clerkenwell is bidding.
mangled bum is top bidder !`
Just outbid by one M. Oaten!
LabourHome has established a digital PR company – ha ha.
Digital as in finger
PR as in per-rectum
How apt.
The Department for Trolls.
OffTroll.
This shouldn’t be a surprise as the clue was his omission form the published list of speakers.
Lowlife though he may be Dolly is not completely stupid, and would know that the only lecture he could give which would be taken seriously, which for him is important, being deluded, would have a title akin to ” How to fuck up completely, again”.
But have we seen the last of the grubby Neanderthal? I doubt it. In time the wounds will heal and he will reinvent himself and set about gathering information for “A third way to fuck up completely.”
As for Nick R, be patient. he’s already sensed that things are not going as well for Nulab as they are telling him, and is momentarily confused. It is unrealistic to expected but the BBC expect him to realise what is happening when he sees pictured of Dave moving into No 10.
Well I have to pronounce meself highy disappointed at this development Derek.
I was very much looking forward to hearing your sage advice on how to fabricate and disseminate hate filled, twisted stories about those whose politics you disapprove of…as a citizen journalist.
I for one would have been clinging onto your every word as I find you so deeply impressive, not just as a citizen journalist but as a media pro and political activist as well.
I was also hoping to glean some of your wisdom as to what makes a successful PR man and lobbyist, but that is lost to me now.
I may not attend this gathering now
Get me my ginger wig and some special brew, I’ll put some chips on my shoulder…..I will be sleeping down the Tube station tonight.
Doesnt those dicks in Whitehall not have their own advisers and lawyers, what the feck is the Attorney Genral for?
Treasury pays ‘mind-blowing’ £22m of taxpayers’ money to credit crunch law firm
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1195254/Treasury-pays-mind-blowing-22m-taxpayers-money-credit-crunch-law-firm.html
Slaughter and May received the vast sum for legal advice around the nationalisation of Northern Rock, the rescue of Bradford and Bingley, the collapse of the Icelandic banks, and the bail-out of the Royal Bank of Scotland and others.
The company – one of the ‘magic circle’ of the world’s largest law firms – also helped set up the Government’s ‘asset protection scheme’ which is designed to make it easier for banks to lend by protecting them against defaulters.
Further work on this scheme means there is likely to be another large bill from Slaughter and May for taxpayers during the next few months. Lord Oakeshott, the Lib Dem Treasury spokesman, said: ‘This payment is simply mind blowing. It comes to £175,000 for every single equity partner of the law firm. ‘How can the Treasury defend allowing the firm to run up such an astronomical bill, the equivalent to 22,000 billable hours of partners’ time at £1,000 an hour.
‘Even if the financial crisis meant that there was no time to shop around at the start for the best legal deal, the Treasury should then have driven a much harder bargain, not left them like a fleet of legal taxis in Whitehall with their meters running for months on end.
‘The Treasury thinks they know it all, but they are babes in arms on commercial contracts.’ The figures, released following a parliamentary question, show that Slaughter and May, one of the world’s top law firms, was paid £22,150,000 for ‘financial stability related’ advice during 2008/09.
This enormous sum could have paid for more than 1,100 nurses for the overstretched Health Service.
What next?
A new troughing research tool has appeared on the Telegraph website.
It show Labour MP Eric Joyce in at number 1, with Mohammed Sarwar easing up the chart to number 4, and Charles Kennedy straight in at 5.
Top troughing Minister Phil Woolas, climbs to number 18. Only two Tories in the top 35, and a very large proportion of the top claimers are from Scottish constituencies (possibly there travelling allowances pushed them up the list).

What I would like to see now is a value for money chart.
How about correlating voting record v. expense = £ cost per vote
If you mess about the sliders at the site of the main map you can get an idea of the value of your MP compared to others, but it does’t include voting records yet. I have suggested it to them.
The Telegraph seem to have unearthed some really good coders for this expenses malarkey I have to say.
Good find – cheers for that!!
BUT WHO IS DELL BOY DRAPER WHAT DOES HE DO, HAS ANYONE SEEN HIM, IS HE JUST A FIGMENT OF SOMEONE’S IMAGINATION, PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ME
Last time I saw him he was demonstrating marine life-saving equipment. Mind you, it looked like a remnant from some Titanic sale.
That beard does make him look like a walrus.
Are you sure that wasn’t one of John Prescott’s bog seats?
He’s providing inspiration for his wife’s career projects.
He is the original Biggest Loser
Mickey Shite and Toenails together look like a Gilbert & George poster.
I feel sick…
For the good of humanity, go ARMED.
When you meet White you might want to tell him to upgrade his web presence Guido.
His Wikipedia entry is pathetically derisory for such a grandiose and patently self-diagnosed very important person.

‘journalist’ – well that’s a fucking lie for a start!
Cheap copytaker from a discredited ‘government’ describes him more appropriately!
I imagine that those who condemn the BBC as a left-wing communist channel view Murdoch’s SKY channels with just as much venom.
Gordon Brown would go up in my estimation if he told Murdoch to go fuck himself and keep out of British Politics.
Nobody really reads the Sun for its political analysis. I mean it’s practically been New Labour’s Media Outlet since 1997. It’s as much a joke as Gordon Brown is. It’s a glorified advertorial for Sky and any shit film that Fox churns out. “Phantom Menace is better than Godfather 2!” says Sun Film Critic.
My favourite part of the Sun’s history was when Rebekah Wade clobbered Ross Kemp! So much for their campaign against domestic violence! Why she clobbered him though is a matter much discussed…..
The Gangs of New Labour…
Can I just copyright that before some MSM “journalist” nicks it for the Sundays.

Someone spread a terrible and wholly made up rumour that she found him in bed with another man.
That’s not a rumour.
Still it could be worse. The old snotgobbler could be giving a masterclass on economics!
Or on courage…
I’m sure Sir Michael will be on bottom form as usual.
GF, make sure you wear a scruffy rugby shirt. That will please the Grauniad half of the Zeppelin race.
Courtesy of the Telegraph’s new troughing tool, I have worked out that Gordon Brown is a trougher par excellence.
Here’s why:
PM receives £127,334 in addition to a salary of £60,277 as a Member of Parliament.
Total Salary last Year: £187,611
Last Years Expenses: £134,586
GRAND TOTAL: £322,197
Now I think we can begin to see now why he might be reluctant to resign. That’s a third of a million pounds to bring the country to it’s knees.
At my advanced age,i remember the days when the news was controlled by the established media that conspired to present all persons occupying state and professional positions,to be upright citizens,held in high regard,and aspired to be emulated by the rest. Only in exceptional cases were the few “rotten apples” shown to have failed those high standards,disgraced. For the most part Joe Public was kept in the dark about the real activities of royalty,politicians and other public figures who, whilst preaching morality to the population,practiced immorality of all kinds in private.
Now with the advent of the net,none of these shysters can rely on the old code of “omerta” to hide their sins. If i contrast the MSM news,and an alternative source of information and viewpoints, such as this site along with many others,i can fully appreciate the fear the wrongdoers in public life,along with the media mafia like Toynbee et al who thought they had cornered the market in informed opinion,have for the new medium.
FFS,i’d rather read Thick as Thieves, Master Baiter and Charlie Hardwidge than Toilets,toenails,Aronavitch and the rest of the self appointed elite
Agreed. It is really only since the plethora of alternative news providers arose via the internet that we can see just how much the ‘permissible spectrum of opinion’ expressed by the MSM has been narrowed to totally exclude anything further to the right than the old Tory party of say 50 years ago. I’ll wager western governments are working overtime to brand the new range of independent news sources as ‘extremist’ and ‘racist’ – Europe’s legislators are every bit as oppressive and scared of the truth as anyone in China’s government.
Please, please, please Guido, just punch Michael White in the face. I beg you, come to think of it I will pay you. Go on. Please.
Me too. I’ll send you fifty quid if you kick the Huhne in the bollocks.
I’ll see your fifty,and raise you a ton
Michael White.
Tosser.
The end.
He’d have been called a ‘cad’ back in more polite times – the damage done since then by shameless, slippery, over-brisk, condescending, dishonest creatures such as him necessitate the substitution of another c-word.

*stamps feet* GUIDO-CAM, GUIDO-CAM, GUIDO-CAM ad infinitum…
Be nice if you could web-cast it…
Guido could webcast it.
Be nice if he would webcast it…
(think of the stats!)
You’ll be lucky if you can get a word in edgeways with White there, the arrogate pompous puffed-up prig.
Guido should know when to us “its” or “it’s”.
“It’s” is short for it is. “Its” denotes possession- even my courtiers know this.
