          I think they are waking up on Labourlost, comment today

          Alex, you can’t change them, they don’t care about you and me any more. You’ll leave eventually but its like leaving an abusive partner. And people MUST leave and desert them and leave them in their squalor or they will just carry on abusing us.

          its all rather sad

          O/T completly. Anyone hear any more about the Lindsay Oil workers. Well guess what THEY WON!! Nowt on BBC they just report about work shy labourers who don’t understand the merits of globalisation. Probably another D notice to press not to report victory. To all the Friends of Guido,of what ever political colour, the Battle for Britian can be won as long as we all remember the words of P B Shelly” we are many,they are few” I want my country back NOW.
          Peace and love Dixie

          I’d say your summing up of die-hard Labour apologists as simply victims in an abusive relationship is spot-on.

          They simply cannot get beyond that first flush of love. Their ‘man’ will surely treat them right if only they stick with him. It’s all just a test. If they just stick with him he’ll become the ‘man’ they dreamed he would be rather than the abusive bastard everybody else can see him to be.

          Perhaps we should pity the poor bastards rather than condemning them.

          It must be awful to find your partner is a mysoginist thug. I can see how they might just prefer to live in delusion than admit they’ve made a mistake. When you put it like that ie compare Labour apologists to battered women it all makes sense.

          Perhaps Dave could, as a policy, set up safe refuges for battered and abused Labour voters.

        OECD says government borrowing will be 90% of GDP next year! Brown’s ‘incompetence’ is looking less and less like incompetence and more and more like a deliberate take-down of the British economy. What a traitorous bastard.

          I saw this borrowing 90% of GDP and could not believe how it has had very little coverage so far in the news shows. It is very scary and will be very interesting to sdee how Brown spins this. What was Darling’s forecast? Words escape me for once.

          Revolting Taxpayer says:

          Even more alarming than the headline figure is the rate of deterioration. It blows a giant hole through Darling’s already pessimistic estimate made only 3 months ago. The news just gets worse and worse.

      It merely betrays to what depths of malevolence and contumely Tories are compelled to descend because of their political vapidity, that their supporters must publish scurrilous attacks insulting New Labour stateswomen instead of debating the real issues.

      Son-of-the-manse Gordon would be appalled at such low-minded tactics.

      But shouldn’t we have foreseen such verbal trash springing from hidden racism from the likes of MisterE the Racist, freddie flintoff the racist, etc.

      Thank you for your stupidity my dear right wing fools but I’ll be sure to brace myself for the violence of the fits of laughter I’m to experience on the night New Labour are steered by Gordon to another term!

      And you lot have the balls to point out that I’m insane!?!

        “No leader but Gordon”

        I presume you also had in mind Mrs Balls sending out 2000 sneaky letters to find out if employers are racist when offering jobs when you talk about being ‘low down’? No they are not racist there are just no fucking jobs whatever your name sounds like. My daughter will testify to that despite her best efforts cannot even get a part time job.

        “No leader but Gordon” and people just like you thankfully in a monority just cannot see how much you are totally despised by us. You will though and when your so called great leader grows a pair and calls an election, He and Zanu labour are not going to just get wiped out they are going to get utterly incinerated

        Election NOW and to hell with McTwat and his evil cronies.

          For added comedy value you could style yourself with a gurl’s name for interview purposes. Just claim you are in the early stages of ‘gender reassignment’.

      Guido Fawkes maintains a daily political blog which retails gossip and secrets and exposes scandals and blunders from Westminster Village in London. The blog has been subsisting now for several years and since 2007 has constantly been at the forefront of political traffic on the internet concerning British civil affairs.

      Each Monday cartoonists contracted by the author of Guido Fawkes blog create a scene depicting with humour and novelty some transaction or saying from the previous week of political wrangling. Lately the targets of their wit and satire have contred on Gordon Brown and his New Labour Government whose popularity has plummeted.

      Today, on June 29 Monday 2009, the depiction portrays a caricature of Secretary for Children, Schools and Families Edward ‘Ed’ Michael Balls, a New Labour and Co-operative Member of Parliament since 2005 and bosom confidant of Prime Minister Brown, alongside former Head of Strategic Planning at Downing Street (the vulgar sobriquet of the Prime Ministerial office as its place of residence) Damian McBride. The latter was constrained to resign after it transpired that he was engaged in fabricating terrible and salacious deceits to shame political rivals in the Conservative Party. Balls is married to Yvette Cooper MP, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions who is alluded to a comment published at 8:25am by MisterE a usual observer on Guido Fawkes’ website.

          Grumpy Old Man says:

          There’s plenty of time – it’s just that Gordon wants to give his backbenchers long holidays so they can’t plot, Keep debates short so the true lunacy of his policies is hidden and keep the the Opposition out of Parliament so he can’t be held to account. Even the DimLibs are looking good against the Cabinet,FFS.

          The Hunts are only at work six months of the year and then it is only a 3 day week. If they really wanted time then they could work the same hours as the rest of us. Little wonder they have second jobs when the first job demands so little.

          The public are fooled because most days they see at least one politician on the TV so they think all politicians are busy at work….IT IS A SCAM!!!!!!

          I’d much rather politicians took 12 months a year off. They’d have been far better value if they’d done quite litearlly fuck-all for the past 12 years. As it is they have totally destroyed the economy.

          If we’d paid them a million quid a year each to fuck off for the last 12 years then it would only have cost 646 x 12 = 7.75bn quid. A fucking bargain compared to the 20bn quid deficit they ran up last month.

          I don’t want my MPs working hard. I want them doing nothing. That way they can’t fuck anything up. Because fucking things up is all they are capable of.

          Steve Expat says:

          jgm2, I like your reasoning there!

          I’m sure we could get away with half a million each though, which would represent 3.875Bn in “Efficiency Savings” :-)

        • 110
          Doctor Mick says:

          It has been delayed because the unions are none to happy about the government getting their hands on £24bn of their pension funds. That’s what this sell off is about. The Treasury takes the £24bn and the future taxpayer picks up all pension liabilities. Yet more debt for our children.

        • 126
          jgm2 says:

          #115

          Yep. That’s it apparently. Unlike a lot of government pension schemes it seems that the postmen, who are not well paid by any measure, actually do contribute real cash into a pension fund. That means there is 24bn quid of real money just sitting there.

          And the governments big plan is to do a Robert Maxwell. Plunder the pension fund and spend it on themselves. Issue some bogus figures which will show that while they’d budgetted a 180bn quid deficit this year thanks to their brilliant economic management and ‘the green shoots of recovery’ they’d ‘only’ borrowed 175bn. No mention at all that without looting the posties pension scheme they’d actually have a deficit of 200bn quid.

          This is all one big fucking game to these Labour imbeciles. The entire UK’s economic health is just a political football to these bastards.

          Running a budget deficit of 30% of your entire fucking income is insanity. To then propose to repeat the prescription indefinitely is pure lunacy.

          Surely they cannot be so economically spastic? Of course they aren’t. They know it is unsustainable but politically they are prepared to say and do anything to retain power and their undeserved cash..

          I suggest we simply buy them off. Give them all a million quid to fuck off. Just fuck off. Now.

          Here, take this million quid, immunity from prosecution for all except Brown and Blair and just fuck off.

          That’s what corporations do when they’ve made an embarrassing appointment at senior level. They just pay the bastards off rather than have them hanging around getting in the way.

          That’s what we need to do.

        • 160

          Doctor Mick is correct.
          Gordon wants the £24 billion, post office workers become public sector employees with the usual off balance tax payer funded pensions and a 5% Vat cut can be announced in time for the end of the current 2.5% in December.
          Clever, clever Gordo.
          The CWU union will stop funding him, but that is only 1 million. He can stick the £24 billion in a post office savings account for a few weeks and keep the interest, before closing them all down.

        Vincent Vermin says:

        Maybe if Bremner had started with a serious introduction to the smile:-

        Er Hello

        Before I begin I want to take this opportunity to show you something that we can all be completely clear about. Today, I’m pleased to be able to announce my new smile. If you look closely, you’ll see I’ve settled on a far friendlier image – and I’d like to draw your attention to the very minor adjustments I’ve made to the upper lip. I have to say this is an improvement that makes me look far more honestly jovial than used to be the case. So there you have it – yet another example of how my British smile – made in Scotland but developed right here in Westminster is 47% broader than Nicolas Sarkozy’s; 28% broader than President Obama’s and a staggering 700% broader than the Ayatollah Khomeini. It’s a smile we can all be proud about and I recommend it to each and every one of you….

          You can be sure that there was a full focus group of smiles tested before the PM selected that one.
          “Are you sure PM? This is the Victoria Beckham tight arse smile mixed with the Alf Garnet laughing at West Ham look..Well If you insist PM…”

    Gordon Brown is out jogging and accidentally falls into a very cold river.

    Three boys see the accident and without a second thought, they jump into the water and drag out the soaking wet Brown.

    Brown says “Boys,you have saved my life and deserve a reward. You name it and I’ll give it to you”.

    The first boy says, “I’d like a holiday to disneyland.”

    Brown says, “Certainly.”

    The second boy says, “I’d like an MP3 player.”

    Brown says, “No problem.”

    The third boy says, “And ‘d like a wheelchair with a stereo in it.”

    Brown says, “But you’re not handicapped!”

    The boy replies, “Not yet, but I will be when my dad finds out I saved you from drowning!”

        Scunnered says:

        GORDON BROWN was visiting a Scottish primary school and he visited one of the classes.
        They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mr. Brown if he would like to lead the discussion on the word ‘tragedy’.

        So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a ‘tragedy’.

        A little boy stood up and offered: ‘If ma best freen, wha lives on a fairm, is playin’ in the field an’ a tractor rins ower him and kills him, that wid be a ‘tragedy.’ ‘

        ‘No’, said Gordon – ‘that would be an accident.’

        A little girl raised her hand: ‘If a school bus kerryin’ fufty children drove ower a cliff, killing a’b'dy inside, that wid be a tragedy’

        ‘I’m afraid not’, explained Gordon – ‘that’s what we would call a ‘great loss” .

        The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Gordon searched the room.
        ‘Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?’

        Finally, at the back of the room, wee Johnny raised his hand…

        In a quiet voice he said:
        ‘If a plane kerryin’ you and Mr. Darlin’ wis struck by a ‘freendly fire’ missile & blawn tae smithereens, that wid be a tragedy.’

        ‘Fantastic!’ exclaimed Gordon. ‘That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?’

        ‘Weel,’ says wee Johnny ‘it his tae be a tragedy, because it certainly widnae be a great loss….. and it probably widnae be a f*cking accident either!

    The First Lord Secretary of State,Lord President of the Council and Secretary of State for Business,Enterprise and Innovation has sought fit to grant an audience with the media to-day. Charlie Stayt BBC News Channel daringly asked his Lordship about the privatization of the Royal Mail and when the matter was likely to be put back on the agenda – “Later” His Lordship said imperiously. “Yes but when later ?” continued Charlie to be met with a momentary didisdainful look that his lordship no doubt reserves for when he has stepped in a dog turd and then he launched into a spiel about the government initiatives being announced to-day in Parliament of course not on the media that would be quite improper given Mr Speaker Bercow’s admonition last week.This went on uninterupted for three minutes before Stayt said “Well we’ve run out of time.Thank you Lord Mandelson” to be met with a smile from His Lordship which no doubt sent shivers down the young Charlie’s spine.- Audacious Laddy know when not to question one’s betters.

    As for Balls and Darling; Balls and Brown are so utterly vile and unscrupulous that they will eventually find a way of forcing Darling out.
    Darling actually strikes me as a comparatively decent bloke who by now has a lot of useful knowledge.

    Can somebody in the city quietly offer him a decent job so that he can resign as Chancellor and tell the Country the truth before he goes.

          Let’s not forget what the combination of labour ministers,journalists and trolls are trying to deflect attention from:

          On average, the gilts that make up our national debt need to be repaid within 15 years. With government spending so far out of control, interest on the national debt will cost over £42 billion per year by 2011. Currently we can only afford to make repayments by selling even more gilts. When run on this basis, government deficit financing is similar to an illegal Ponzi scheme.

          Gordon and co are prepared to adopt this model and are now reduced to hiding the books as a defence. No amount of smug comment,humour or downright lies will change this,so do not be diverted by their tactics. They need to explain how this is going to work.

    The representations of people’s faces in these cartoons really aren’t very good. From the cartoon, I thought for a moment that Guido had discovered that McBride was on Peter Hain’s payroll. However, on closer inspection, the character handing over the envelope of cash isn’t really orange enough to be Hain, so I guess it’s supposed to be Balls.

    All very confusing.

    Mandlebum was appalling on radio 4 Today this morning. Showed he knows very nothing about figures, just a lying sleazy operator. I thought Evan Davis stood up to Mandleson well, despite the latter’s arrogance and bluster. Evans did a good job by exposing Labour’s lack of credible spending plans.

    The difference here is that Evan Davis is financially literate. Labour politicians has been getting away with talking financial bollox on Today for years because the likes of Humphreys and Naughtie are out of their depth on financial matters.

    One look at the policy makes clear its just a fake front, they cannot discriminate between foreigners and British passport holders when choosing who gets a council house IF they tried it they would get taken to court courtesy of the yuman rites laws, how do they define a just who a local person is? well it turns out that a local person/family is anyone who is in the area at the time of claiming housing, they cannot discriminate against all the eurotrash scum who wash up on these shores because the EU would not allow it so if a roma criminal gang rolls up with seven kids in tow they go straight to the head of the queue as usual ahead of a native British family with six kids that have been on the list for years and its the roma crew that gets the house keys while they wait in the office.
    Just like Browns ‘British jobs 4 British workers’ scam its all a dog whistle lie fest because foreigners will still jump to the head of the line and native British families will still get bumped still further down the list then even further because their is ONE inconvenient fact the newlabour scumbags are keeping quiet about, the social housing stock is shrinking fast for families, they are not keeping pace with the massive immigration levels and the newlabour bastards are not building houses near fast enough, there is in fact a massive increase in applications for social housing and a shrinking stock of them availible, for years immigrants have used the right to buy as a money making scam, they move in and claim priority for housing then they buy the property and sell it on and then claim more social housing and do it again and again, billions have been syphoned off in this way and newlabour have stood back and let it happen.
    There are native British people on the hosuing waiting lists that have been there and have been constantly bumped down the list since newlabour took power in 1997!

      City of Vice says:

      Council housing is now essentially a politically driven and financially unsustainable racket, which is indulged to cement voting patterns. It distorts the housing market and social mobility and the mobility of labour. New immigrants should have no call on state housing whatsoever.

      The solution is, and always was, private housing that is affordable to the consumer on an average wage. Council housing should be rapidly phased out

      This is anathema to Labour because homeowners are more likely to vote Tory and aspire to personal financial advancement and social mobility. Socialists would rather control us and employ their mates at great expense is large state housing management bureaucracies.

      The expenses scandal also shows that politicians including Labour ministers had a financial interest in promoting the house price bubble by pocketing the capital gains on state funded first and second homes.

      • 91
        amomynous says:

        Council housing being phased out is and has essentially been policy in the UK over the last 30 years. Even this rabid government have only enabled about 2 council homes to be built in the last year. With an expanding population it is less likely that there will ever now be enough council housing. Some housing is in the hands of Housing Associations, who have come up with the goods to an extent, but as usual, it all comes down to affordability. Additionally, there are far more peole in need of housing than there are homes to live in. How New labour are going to remedy this should be fun to watch but miserable as hell for people wanting somewhere to live!

        Brown’s so-called ‘slip of the tongue’ was no such thing. The steps the government took did help to save the world banking system. If the governmeent had followed the suggestions and advice of the Conservitudes there would have been a complete financial and economic melt down. Brown has been lauded rightly for the brave decisions he took and the world leadership those decisions gave.
        Perhaps you are too blinkered to realise the reality. The financial crisis has not been caused by alleged profilagacy of the UK government. It has been brought about by a defect in free market capitalism, simple.
        Because of that fact a political party such as the Conservitudes can have no useful role in the coming years.
        In particular, people like Cameron and Osborne are not competent to deal with the crisis.

          There is no such thing as free market capitalism in the real world just as there is no such thing as a fully centrally planned economy. In the real world economies lie somewhere between these two theoretical extremes.

          In other words, the state has some control over the “free market” in fact quite a bit in the UK and so you cannot blame the banks entirely. The incompetent and greedy government was as much to blame by allowing those state of affairs to continue. Like the banks shareholders all eyes were on the money and Broon’s eyes were on those mouthwatering corporation taxes coming out of the City.

    DC will be moving mountains to get the bill read because he knows the massive amount of negative headlines it will generate for the Idiot Party.

    Most of us have a soft-spot for the Post Office. The little village post-offices, the fact that it only cost 30p to send a letter all the way to (fucking) Stornoway. Can’t beat that for value.

    There are no end of negative headlines just lurking for the Labour Party on this. The Unions won’t like the looting of their pensions or the inevitable job losses. The voters won’t like their Post Office being fucked with.

    No wonder Cameron is keen to give Brown every opportunity to bury himself even further.

      This is a commons vote the government will lose without the tory support that originally they were counting on. The revolt on labours benches was very clear and given the recent facts tory will turn and vote against the government hence a thumping loss. More embarrassment for GB and more stabs in the back from inside government. If you could couple this with the by-election results then it could get very iffy for Brown yet again, but more likely Greasy Gordon like Teflon Tony will weather the storm.

      Er, that’s not true. It’s a figure reached by dividing 40 million by 60 million people. It’s simply a lie, in fact. Pure propaganda from the Royals. And why is it that Prince Charles doesn’t come clean with his finances? Just what is he hiding? Here’s the correct figures

      The Queen’s Civil List £12.7m
      Parliamentary annuities (Prince Philip) £0.4m
      Palaces and castles £15m
      Travel £6.2m
      Expenditure met by gov depts £4.9m
      Security £100m
      Duchy of Cornwall lost revenue £16m
      Duchy of Lancaster lost revenue £13m
      Costs to councils £10m
      Unpaid tax £2m (?)
      Travel and accomodation for Prince Charles £3m
      Total £183.2m

      That’s right. 182.3 million–and that is probably a conservative estimate. I voted for none of these people. They are unelected. That’s democracy . . .

        Why is revenue on person’s private property “lost revenue”? If I rent out my flat is it lost revenue to the state? In other words HRH is living off his own income.

        Security £100m nice round unsubstantiated number that.

        I would imagine the security costs of our unelected government ministers is higher that that of the Royal Family.

        So now you scumbags are using the Royal Family as scapegoats for your criminal incompetence. I think this strategy will seriously backfire.

          Anonymous says:

          You are a fool. Your comments are as stupid as the person above who thinks that the presence of the a Royal Family has any bearing on tourism. Note that no evidence has been presented: simply an idiotic anecdote.

          Consider this: of the top 20 tourist attractions in the UK only one royal residence makes it: Windsor Castle at number 17 (beaten comfortably by Windsor Legoland, in at number 7). Royal residences account for less than 1% of total tourist revenue. Indeed, the success of the Tower of London (number 6 in the list) suggests that tourism would benefit if Buckingham Palace and Windsor castle were vacated by the Windsor family.

          It is lost revenue because it is lost to the state. It isn’t his and never was his. Neither are the so-called properties of the Queen hers. It is the property of the country and can be claimed back at any time as the government could do.

          There are fifteen working royals according to the official monarchy website. That means we pay about £12m a year for each one.

          The total bill for parliamentary salaries and expenses is approximately £155m. Add other costs of running the House of Commons and it’s near £365m. With 646 MPs that makes them cheap by comparison with the Royals, at just £565K each.

          There’s a little evidence for you. But, then again, to hoons like you, evidence means nothing. Get a grip on reality. In terms of troughing, the Royals make MP’s look like amateurs.

          And, for what it is worth, I don’t support Labour or Liberal or anyone else. I support democracy, which is impossible when unelected people are allowed to remain in such powerful and expensive positions. 69p per person my arse.

          Apparently, Tony Bliar has always had security, (paid for by us) since leaving No.10.

          There are around 140 policemen who “guard” the House of Commons. That’s a ratio of just under 5 MP’s to every copper. The number of police is greatly reduced in our cities and towns, so why do they need so many? It must be costing us all a fortune.

          How many other MP’s need this sort of security – and how many officers have been taken away from much more important duties to guard them? …and, more to the point – what’s it costing us?

    Harman’s bill is a straightforward attack on white working class males, i.e. the core labour vote.

    If you think the EU elections were as bad as things can get, you have a very nasty surprise waiting for you. You will lose the whole of your core vote to the nasty party.

    For full economic recovery all the UK needs is to follow Reganomics – its a simple 4 point plan – On all four key points it happens to be the exact opposite of what Gordon Brown has been up to for the past 12 years or so which is, of course, why we have our present economic shit-storm.

    Reaganomics had four main policy objectives:

    “(1) reduce the growth of government spending,
    (2) reduce the marginal tax rates on income from both labor and capital,
    (3) reduce regulation, and
    (4) reduce inflation by controlling the growth of the money supply”

    The goal of these objectives was to increase savings, investment, and economic growth. Balancing the budget, restoring healthy financial markets, and reducing inflation and interest rates were also key.

    Maggie was, of course, on to it as well.

    518 above, thus:

    “There may be many intellectually or morally sound arguments against “these people”. Your Republican convictions are probably well thought through and sincere. That is not the issue.

    The fact is that there is no substantive political or public will to abolish the monarchy. Complaining is just howling in the wind.”

    It is interesting that you conclude that intellectually and morally sound arguments are “not the issue.” I thought that they were, oddly enough.

    There is extensive evidence to suggest that change is desired. Equally, to suggest that there is no political will is also mistaken. Unfortunately, most British people are simply unaware of what is going on. They believe that the Queen is instrumental in “bringing in tourists.” Englightenment is the first step. As Boris likes to put it, “sunshine is the best disinfectant.”

    Couple more before I go: Prince Andrew is seeking exemption from public knowledge of every item of travel on or under £10, 000 that he uses. Compare this to the £250 per month the MP’s did not have to declare. And, the Royals are pushing for complete FOI exemption. Something to hide? Surely not…

      If there was “extensive evidence that change is necessary” and a political will for change then we would hear this on the airwaves and see it in newsprint and in party manifestos. We don’t. There is not a net vote to be gained anywhere, even in the most extreme constituencies.

      So what we are left with is a tabloid-style debate. No real issues, just posturing: great for sales and enticing reader participation in comment columns and public bars. It reminds me of living in “Nuclear Free Zones” when Red Ken was King of County Hall.

      I don’t disagree with your point about sunlight being a disinfectant and the need for greater transparency. But do you want this as an aid for financial audit or as a platform to promote your republican views. I rather suspect the latter.

      then

        So let me get this right: so if it isn’t “on the airwaves” or in “party manifestos” that means there’s no desire/will to change etc? Can you think why it may be apparently absent from those areas you mention? You seem oblivious to the notion of enlightenment mentioned in my previous post. Equally, you must be a partyite of some kind or other to rely on the empty mantra of “real issues.” At this rate you’ll be mentioning “family values” and other similar claptrap soon. There’s no “tabloid style” debate if only because the so-called reasons for maintaining unelected and expensive Royals born into priviledge are so easily knocked down. As most people in Britain are labouring under the illusion that the monarchy is still divinely ordained, or as near as possible to it, I wonder if they would be so amenable to the troughing if they only knew? The Royal family knows this, of course, and so will go to great lengths to hide their finances.

          It means simply that there are no votes to be gained by proposing your views.

          “Notion of enlightenment”, “partyite (sic)”, “mantra”, ” “family values” “, “unelected and expensive”, “born into priviledge (sic)”, “troughing”, “hid[ing] their finances”. This is just what I mean by “tabloid debate”.
