VOTE LABOUR! CLICK ON MY NAME TO DONATE!
0% of the electorate wish to take up your kind offer – hence you seem to be doing even better than last week!
You’re just jealous because Labour has taken the right decisions to promote prosperity. And it has put policies in place to offer everyone the chance to harness their talents, not just the few. Labour’s New Deal programmes have helped more than 1.8 million people back to work. And their investment in programmes such as Train to Gain, which pays for people to get training at work, has helped hundreds of thousands not just to get a job, but to get a qualification and get on. Labour will only be able to compete globally if we harness the talents of everyone in our society, without discrimination. We will need to offer greater opportunities for our workforce to get the right skills and training throughout their careers.
That should read, ‘Labour’s Runaway Train to Bankruptcy’
Yawn!
Do I really believe that? No I don’t – it is the usual Labour lies, spin and cretinous nonsense. But then, I am liar in chief, an automated blogging machine run by the Labour Party!
Chas- unfortunately those 1.8 million came into the country in pursuit of jobs and most are either getting more back in benefits for their families – education, healthcare, child allowances, child trust fund etc.etc. or they are living in a portakabin with a gang and sending 80% of their earnings straight out of the country.
I can never be quite sure if you are the real Charles or the brilliant send up of Charles. The delusion runs deep. You seem slightly less mad than usual though so I guess you are the real one. I have an aquantance who is currently on one of those training programs and I guarantee you they are just holding pens to stop people applying for the dole. They are there solely to make the unemployment figures look better.
The poor guy doesn’t realise this though. They’ve put him on a 3 month course to teach him how to be a ‘computer programmer’ even though he has no knowledge at all about software engineering or even anything more than basic computer skills.
He thinks he will end up getting a job in the software engineering field after the course and I don’t have the heart to tell him what he is doing will be laughed at by anyone he sends his CV to. He was even asking me how to get into writing software in the financial field in London. This is a field I know well so it really struck me how truly wrong it was for these bastards to convince him to waste his time on this rubbish. He needs a bare minimum of a 3 year degree (there is the rare exceptional person who doesn’t but he isn’t one of them). I’m sure most of the other training courses in other fields are similarly worthless.
Wow! A massive 0% rise in Labour membership, that will show the detractors!!
And de Tractor figures
Charles, is this the East Coast or West Coast “Train to Gain”?
These dimm-Vitted Voters have not zee Brains to unterstand zat a -10% increase ist still ein increase und that zey must trust Labor
Heil Braun
Heil der next ReichsPrãsident von Blair
Not one private sector job has been created for a British person since 1997.
They are the disgraceful honest statistics.
Keep up the good work Charles! You’re “on message” comments brighten even the darkest day! P.S. Labour’s screwed and Brown will go down in history as Britain’s worst ever Prime Minister. Trust me, there will be no streets named after him – ever!
Dear Charles
Can you walk properly?
If so, how when you are so full of shit?
“You’re just jealous because Labour has taken the right decisions to promote prosperity”.
The country is on its arse you clown.
“And it has put policies in place to offer everyone the chance to harness their talents, not just the few”.
Bullshit!
“Labour’s New Deal programmes have helped more than 1.8 million people back to work”.
Bullshit!
“And their investment in programmes such as Train to Gain, which pays for people to get training at work, has helped hundreds of thousands not just to get a job, but to get a qualification and get on”.
Get on to a menial job don’t you mean?
“Labour will only be able to compete globally if we harness the talents of everyone in our society, without discrimination”.
Don’t you mean Britain fuckwit?
And Labour is the Party of discrimination.
“We will need to offer greater opportunities for our workforce to get the right skills and training throughout their careers”.
Aren’t all parties committed to that?
What an arsehole and this was written as stock text.

Charles, where are the ‘graphics fidelity’ citations we are waiting for?
Dr Feelgood,
Did you mean “graphic infidelty”?
I love these ironic posts!
@35 MrPeregrination
This is shocking and dis-spiriting. In my previous incarnation of a Computer Science academic, I watched bleeding edge research being pushed out of the academy in favour of the trendy and the mundane as the beancounters took over with their aims, objectives and pestilential learning outcomes.
So I saw the genuinely talented sucked out of the UK system into the US one, leaving behind the halt, the lame and the inane. Bad enough. But that the genuinely aspirational are being deceived in the way you describe is sickening. 3 months to go from zero to pro in programming? Who’s teaching this shite? Oh, let me guess, 3 letters. E….D….S. That’s who HMG usually hire and fire for IT projects.
More than seven out of ten jobs created under the Labour Government have been taken by foreign-born workers: the OECD said that in the first ten years of Labour rule, employment rose by around two million jobs. But it said ‘almost 1.5million of this was accounted for by persons born abroad’ – 71 per cent of the total. The percentage of new jobs taken by those born overseas is the highest of any of the major economies analysed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
One in ten workers will be out of a job by the end of the Labour Recession, the worst in Britain since the end of the Second World War. A devastating forecast from the British Chambers of Commerce says unemployment will rise to a peak of 3.1million over the next two years, some 10 per cent of the workforce. A second report, from retail consultancy Experian, predicts that up to 1,400 retailers will fail this year.
The proof that the Prime Minister has opted for the politics of deceit came with the announcement yesterday by Peter Mandelson (the real deputy prime minister) that the scheduled Comprehensive Spending Review has been scrapped until after the General Election. These spending reviews, which set out the level of government expenditure for years ahead, are normally held every two years. The latest was due to be announced by Chancellor Alistair Darling in the autumn.
Charlie,
…more than 1.8 million people back to work…
AND then more than 3 million back on the dole. Just like the Duck of York.
Black is white…
The views of Frank Field (Lab) do not support your views. If your views are honestly held then you have my sympathy.
HEADLINES (From Evening Standard)
New Deal for jobs condemned as £75 billion ‘expensive failure’
Joe Murphy, Political Editor
20.02.09
A DEVASTATING critique of Labour’s flagship New Deal for the unemployed has branded it an “expensive failure”.
Frank Field, the Labour MP and former minister for welfare reform, said the jobs scheme and related tax credits had cost £75 billion since 1997 yet failed, even at the height of the boom, to produce results.
“The results are derisory,” he said, adding that in a decade the number of people doing no work had fallen just 400,000 from 5.7million. Yet at the same time the number of young people not in work or education had actually gone up. Labour’s New Deal incorporates a series of schemes that compel the unemployed to take training, work places or community work.
“has helped hundreds of thousands not just to get a job”
None of them were British though, you daft old c’unt.
’socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery’
It’s a nice round figure, 0
It doesn’t matter that no private sector jobs have been created as we are all consumers now. There’s no such thing as ‘the working class’, that’s an outdated concept, isn’t it? Something from the 19th century. Isn’t that what the Tories and New Labour have always told us?
What about “Brown Walkway” with a ‘Dead End’ sign at the start of it? Or just “Gordon Brown was a Hoon Drive”, sums up his premierhip perfectly.
I hope your donations rise by 0%.
Charles is a little scallywag
Charles is a total fucking knobhead and if you lump him together with the one eyed arsehole and his cabinet the total IQ would not reach 50.
Their individual IQ is probably less than their shoe size.
Why is builders crack named after George Osbornes 2 favourite recreational activities?
IQ 50 You must joking. 5 is to much.
Won’t they fall by 0%?
BYE BYE NULABOUR ARE FUCKED.
Unfortunately, so is the country.
Remember Gordon, we learned this yesterday. One plus one is…
Sod it, this is far too difficult, I’m going to become an MP.
And zero plus zero is an increase!
£1,200 to join the Thousand Club?
Shurely the Twelve Hundred Club now?
This is the type of figuring which resulted in the banks going tits up.
Brown is taking his measure in increase from the increase in size of his brain since birth . 0%
He considers himself so brilliant, such a brilliant Chanceller, so by that measure 0% is an increase
Of course he became an MP because he is an outright loser and could do nothing else and I mean nothing. In my book he does not even qualify to sweep the streets. Complete fuckwit who has to greater sense of his own importance, arrogant twat.
OK – we’ll donate you, but what will Gordy and Mandy do with you. haven’t they got enough crap on their hands already?
I’ve got my name down for one of those ID cards. In a few years time they’ll be fetching more than an undated 20 pence piece for their rarity value. I think everyone will recognise this and do the same.
Oh! maybe they won’t be so rare then….
I need to think this through…….. Get me Gordon!
I have an undated 20 pence coin, an Airside mandeltory ID Card and an O2 ticket for the second coming. I’m told however that their value will not keep pace with future inflation. Has someone f*cked up?
Yes, gordon he told you 0% increase and he meant it.
Guido,
Have you seen over on LabourList they still have the disgusting tweet from Chris Paul which has the hashtag ‘#Tehran’ in it?
They won’t even remove it. At least Habitat had the common sense to remove and apologise for jumping on the back of serious geopolitical issues, and they didn’t even refer to “Clotted Cheeser Cameron”.
The Labour Party have no respect for anyone.
Vote for British Jobs for British Workers, eh Charles?
“Strip out the public sector and do you know how many new jobs have gone to British workers since 1997?
Zero. Squat. Nada. In fact, there are fewer UK-born workers in the private sector than 12 years ago.
This staggering information is not published, anywhere. I asked the Office for National Statistics specifically.
In the last year there are 119,000 more migrant workers in UK jobs, but 615,000 fewer UK-born workers. In recent months, both are falling. But UK-born workers are being laid off at five times the rate. “
Anon, the reasons for this are that British employers have been whispering in Blair’s, Mandelson’s and the ditherer’s ears that they need cheap labour.
This has been going on for years. NuLiebor have been so far up the employers’ arses that it hurts. It was the same in the 50s when they sowed the seeds of our current terrorist troubles by recruiting cheap labour from Pakistan.
It’s not that long ago that this government was offering to “connect” UK companies with outsourcing outfits in India – the purpose no doubt being to put people like me out of a job! I still dream of the day when some militia cuts the optical cables running through the Red-Sea (just near Ras Muhammad where there in less than 20ft of clear water would be nice) – cutting the entire Indian sub-continent adrift and leaving every European company and government agency dependant on “outsourcing” – SCREWED! Best of all it could take months to fix! Oh, and I know what I’m talking about here as I was one of the engineers who helped lay the damn things!
In my life I have given precisely 0% of my income to Labour and this figure will enjoy a 0% increase.
By the way everyone, I hope you realize/remember that many Co-operative Societies donate to, and collaborate with, Labour – I avoid spending money with the Co-op too.
So do I, for the same reason – and I don’t use Sainsburys for that reason, either
Co-operative stores and mutual building societies are doing well and expanding rapidly by offering honest and trustworthy products and services.
I don’t disagree with what you’ve just said.
The point is, the Co-op gives money to the Labour party. That, for me is a problem – same as for you, giving money to the Conservative party would probably be a problem.
With their innovative and inclusive welfare to work programmes Labour have created 1.4 million new training places in the last twelve months alone to equip 105% of the age range 18-25 with the necessary skills to enter the workplace at this time.
And I should know because I was instrumental in rolling out the strategy to train an additional 300,000 computer gaming consultants in my Pixelated Markup Language TM to give Britain a unique cottaging advantage in this cutting edge industry.
People stop me in the street. They say, Charles, who is the master and who is the slave? And I press into their sweaty palms a disc of my game, Citadel of Stools, in which Morkin the Lickspittle undoes his regal tormentor, Charles “E” Windsor, Keeper of the Groin.
For, rest assured my bovine brethren, fate does not always congeal until the end!!!
Who is the master? And who is the slave?
Was it not Tonto who confronted Roy Rogers by Lonesome Cactus with a dead wildcat under one arm and a collection of mangled boots under the other and said:
“Pard’n me, Roy. Is this the cat that chewed your new shoes?”

Britain is being battered by its worst recession since the Second World War, Government figures show. In New Labour Recession, Gross domestic product tumbled 2.4 per cent in the first three months of the year, the steepest fall for 51 years, the Office for National Statistics said. The decline was far worse than previously estimated. In April Chancellor Alistair Darling said he expected a decline of around 1.6 per cent.
The figure means the economy has now shrunk 4.9 per cent since the beginning of the recession last autumn – the deepest downturn since the War. And the country is on course to suffer a slump of at least 4 per cent in 2009, worse than Mr Darling’s Budget forecasts for a fall of 3.25 per cent to 3.75 per cent.
And the other news is that the recession that started last Autumn, ACTUALLY started in the Spring. So we have been in the recession for over a year now.
Gb can always blame the 0% slip up on the weather. Scottish, ain’t used to the sunshine.
The weather started in America.
An occasional series looking at Tory liars and the lies they tell
Issue No. 2348
George Osborne Conservative Shadow Makeitupper
Osborne has been criticised very heavily by the popular Channel 4 News ‘FactCheck’ item. FactCheck gives a rating from one to five for political claims where “the lower end of the scale indicates that the claim in question largely checks out, while the upper end suggests misrepresentation, exaggeration and a massaging of statistics and/or language. In the unlikely event that we award a 5 out of 5, our FactCheckers have concluded that the claim under examination has absolutely no basis in fact.” [19] For example, Osborne’s critique of Gordon Brown’s pensions tax was described as “an absurd exaggeration” (receiving a rating of 4 out of 5) [20]. Osborne’s claims about tax rises have also been given a 4 out of 5 rating, and criticised for not having “very much to do with the actual facts of the case. Nor does it make much of a useful commentary on what is actually happening in the economy.”
So what!
Dear Ed Balls
I have a question.
When it rains does George Osbourne take shelter under Cameron’s arse?

Dear my Laird,
Your question is irrelevant and I will go on and answer my own question just like my Master the great ditherer does every week at PMQs, under whose arse I shelter every day regardless of whether it rains or not.
Yours insincerely
Ed Balls
Campaign to bankrupt Britain and induce hyper inflation (just for the hell of it)
Channel 4 News ‘FactCheck’ are using the “official” labour statistics, so they are certainly wrong!
Do you spot trains?
No time in between beating up immigrants (elderly females only) and boasting about his army career (as a cook) down at the Pink Panzers.
I’ve just heard the excuse that he maent to say 0.7 % but he even blamed that on the noise in the H of C. Couldn’t he just say it was a slip of the tongue. Why does he have to blame everyone and everything for his incompetence.
Perhaps we could all donate 1P
And fuck their system up, it would costs them tons to process a 1p payment.
Have you ever thought of advertising on Labour’s site?
What? No-one goes there?
The Gorgon is staggering to the holiday shutdown. Lamentable performance, again. Balls is a tosser, a lying one.
Balls is king of the tossers. He could coach tossing to an olympic standard. Total, utter tosser.
As you say, a lamentable performance. Shame Daves was no better. When are we going to get a decent opposition at PMQs. Please come back Vince Cable.
If what the Heffer says in today’s DT is true it’s no wonder Dave hasn’t got a fucking clue. If he’s not searching out every free market idea he can find we’re just going to be in for another 5 years of spin and deceit. Quite why he doesn’t ask Gordon how many jobs his tax ‘n spend policies have destroyed beats me.
“Please come back Vince Cable.”

What? And deliver us unto the EU oligarchy? Fuck off!
back to the Pink Panzers Mr Ned (or is it Dick Sniffin?).

Its about time you fucked off.

Is that another Toenails joke !!
I am having a problem containing my laughter.
Since when has Brown ever answered a question that one of his own didn’t read out from a piece of paper?
crown blogspot do an amazing job fighting the infowar on gormless
“Zero percent rise”.
God help us! What an idiot.
That’s the net figure, adjusted for inflation.
Stop parroting your rubbish! It was another Gordo fuckup.
Like you.
What was the fuckup exactly?
That you don’t understand what 0% increase means because you’re totally ignorant of anything beyond silly name calling?
The term de facto means “concerning fact”
De Tracto means “facts as Gordon would like them to be, rather than as they are.”
Bill Quango is silly and very very dull

Ok, “Carlos Marcos”, you may have had a deprived Liebour education, and I’m sorry for that (well not really, it is to be expected but I’ll gloss over that) here’s a simple maths exercise for you and your fellow cretins:
2 + 2 = 4 (an increase)
2 – 2 = 0 (a decrease)
2 * 2 = 4 (an increase)
2 + 2 – 2 = 2 (the equivalent)
2 * (1 + 0.00%) = 2
Which part of “increase of 0%” does your liebour-induced, non-thinking walnut brain not fucking comprehend?
It’s as simple as y”=f(x, y, y’) you hoon…
Idiot.
They never adjust for inflation, they know that the rise in unemployment has stopped and they think that when you borrow billions of £s it is all interest free. Just like the chavs they’ve been encouraging for the past 12 years.

Well spotted, Squeaker is also desparate to contain his laughter. Shame we didn’t get a view of Hain and Balls when he said it!
By the way, has anyone seen Darling?
The Squeaker: Order! Order! The Prime Mincer’s answer must be heard.
Translation: Shut up and listen to Brown make a complete tit of himself. AGAIN!
Yes, he was hidden behind the gorgon at pmqs looking thunderously miserable! They’ve obviously fallen out. Probably been sedated by a nokia.
You’re right, he was there today. As far as I know he has said nothing in public since the reshuffle, while Balls has been everywhere the past few days talking about govt spending Obviously persona non grata in Broon’s books now…
…or David Mills.
David Mills? Isn’t he enjoying the pleasure of a couple of years on the sunlit shores of Italy? Well, not too much sun there in the cells but there’s a terribly nice warder called Marco……
Tessa’a put her wedding ring back on so she must be getting soft.
Not nearly as soft as she is in the fucking head.

At us. They’re getting all excited about going on their hols. While they’re enjoying themselves we’ll be slogging away trying to earn enough money to pay our (their) taxes, in order to
keep them in the style they’ve become accustomed to, makes you sick doesn’t it? Particularly as they’re all (except for the gorgon) extraordinarily bronzed already. Some like Hain more of an orange colour.
Yes, i think you are right, Balls with his edukashun edukashun edukashun probably did help the Prime Mentalist with his maths this morning. It certainly wasn’t anyone with numeracy skills….like, ooooh, I dunno, a Chancellor of the Exchequer or the like.
Gordon now proves indubitably that he qualifies for my latest gimmick, One-toOne tuition for 11 year olds and above with ZERO numeracy skills.
While Brown was repeating himself (yet again) Balls was counting on his fingers at PMQ’s.
Would you trust this man to teach your children?
Are Mandy and Balls singing from different hymn sheets? Trouble ahead. Balls performance on C4 last night was straight out of the Mugabe-North Korea spin book. Slow mo car crash for Brown yet again at PMQ’s. He is a joke.
A phucking tool ! He’s a phucking tool.
Someone put this koont out of his misery. Time to start rioting on the streets.
When and where?
College Green 1632hrs
go go go!
Time and place – that is all we need. You can count on me – if we are to get a general election this side of Christmas, we will have to force one by rioting in the streets!
I’m only surprised it hasn’t happened already
I’m only surprised someone hasn’t at least tried to have a real ‘go’ at him on the streets.
There’s got to be someone who has come down from a big height, lost everytihing they ever had because of Brown’s policies and wants to end it all anyway…
@77, he has never met me on the streets. If I ever see him in real life, I swear on my father’s grave and all I hold dear, I will smash the lying bastard in the face and knock him into the middle of next year!
Mr Ned – I like your sentiment. Now what’s the chance of that actually happening?
About as great as the chance of a Pink Panzer turning out to be straight. Calm down guys, democracy means using the ballot box and theres not long to go. On second thoughts try it – the sight of Mr Ned being tear gassed and tasered would be almost as funny as the Broon floundering around in PMQs.
I’m not surprised GB meets no one who would want to smack him in the face. Every visit to meet the great unwashed that he makes is arranged a matter of mere hours before it happens and is subject to such control and security that he will never ever meet anyone who might be mean to him. I should know. I was barred, after I made a polite request, from attending a state visit he made for being ‘unpredictable’, the nicest comment my former employers ever made about me.
The chances of me getting anywhere near Brown? 0% After all, he doesn’t ever go near real people. And I mean EVER. He is a total coward!
The chances of me smashing him into the middle of next year IF I ever am lucky enough to meet him 100%
Oh and it would seriously be worth ALL the tasering and tear gas that they could throw at me. Even of they killed me, it would be worth it to take that twat down. It would be a great public service!
Mr Ned; sounds like the blustering of a Pink Panzer who knows he will never be called on to deliver. Reminds me of the hilarious occasion at a Birmingham election when 15-20 Pink Panzers were chased out of a count by 2 policewomen. Not sure whether they were afraid of being beaten up or maybe they thought it was one of their Friday night games where the younger members dress up.
fook off anonymous you sad twat you can’t even debate with your real name. All this talk of gays and pink? you trying to tell us something?? your subconcious trying to let you out the closet.
Just hate the hypocrisy of Mr Ned and the BNP. I may be the only true independent on this site but I would prefer Dave, Broon or Clogger to the thuggery and hypocrisy of the Toytown Nazis. And don’t ask wheres the evidence against them. I have seen them in action and Dick lived with the original gay nazi, Martin Webster. Like all nazis Mr Ned is all mouth and no trousers – just like you.
What a Cock.
Why are you quoting Little Georgie Osborne after an afternoons fagging for Dave?
LOL, what a fucking prat our Dear Leader is. Poor old Tessa looked like she was dying to slap her forehead in best Grommit style. Or slap the idiot in front of her.
This is the thing with Gordon – he’s just no bloody good.
Never mind if he’s nuts or not, he’s just no bloody good.
How the fuck did he ever pass enough exams to get into Uni – even a Jockland one? Or did he cheat at all his school exams too?
He was probably ’special needs’ or ESN as they were called then. Special treatment.
Prince Harry von Trougher got the same treatment at Eton when he did his A level art if I am not mistaken.
This has rather neutralised the “Mr 10 percent” tag.
Oh no. Gordon has a new tack. He claimed Dave is being delighted at the prospect of rising unemployment until 2014. Unfortunately for Gordon, this is not in the least what Dave said – as pointed out even by the Guardian journo on the Daily Politics who clearly signalled a lack of belief in the supreme leader. However, I don’t expect that this will stop all labour MPs and the First Lord of WTF changing to this as their new mantra.

QUESTION: IF 1.4 TRILLION POUNDS HAD BEEN LENT TO A NEW ENTITY INVESTMENT STRUCTURE UNDER THE BANK OF ENGLAND TO DEVELOP AND SUSTAIN BRITISH INDUSTRY, HOUSING, MORTGAGES ETC. AND TO UNDERWRITE THE BANK DEPOSITS OF HIGH STREET AND INDUSTRY, – HOW WOULD BRITAINS ECONOMY AND WORLD STANDING LOOK TODAY?
Brown is a hideous mess. Cameron is a vapid fairy. Clegg is a nobody.
Who the hell is there?
A triumvirate of tossers. Without razing the place there really is no hope.
I’ve got some matches and a can of petrol, if you want.
Simple – anyone but Brown has to be an improvement!
Not necessarily.
Yes necessarily! It is not possible to conceive of a British PM who could be worse than Brown (the chances of Robert Mugabe taking over are slim to say the least).
I beg to differ. Even the Dinner Jacket would be an improvement.
what about a yellow plastic duck?
“BLINKY”
UKIP – fuck all the big three parties.
Hear hear to UKIP, or local independents.
labour are a fucking mess, the tories are the new-world-order’s next pick and the lib-dems are there to rush us into the EU if the other two fail.
The only hope for the British people is the election of a LOT of MPs that are not from those three parties.
Lab
Con
Lib
Vote NONE of the above unless you are happy for more of the same illiberal behaviour. Anyone else can not be as bad, period.
UKIP is a good start for sure and there are others.
Screw the establishment.
Why would anyone vote Farrago. His judgement was exposed when he allowed Killboy-Sulk to stand.
Do some research on the local independent candidate when he or she stands then. Think outside the box.
Don’t be a numpty!
@303, BANG ON!
Local independents, UKIP, English Nationalists. All fine choices.
Look at what the English Nationalist Mayor is doing in the North East…. BRILLIANT stuff. The liberal lefties are crying like spoilt schoolgirls with a scraped knee!
No problem looking at independents Anon – just not Farrago. He is not independent and he is not competent.
You have all been fooled. Public spending won’t rise by 0% but by something like -10%.
Which should have displayed as -10%.
Is that minus one zero percent? Just the one zero, nothing more?
You’ve all been fooled ,right enough but not in the way you think.
Imagine a future PMQs , Gordon stands up and says ” And in year 2013- 2014 we will triple the expenditure”
Good spin , 3×0% is still 0% ,job done!
You’ve just stolen McMads next pmqs reply; we will increase public expenditure by -10%, unlike the Tories who have pledged to CUT expenditure by 10%.
In the year 2525,if man is still alive,if woman can survive,they may find……..
Britain is just showing green shoots.
Same old, same old Tories
“Rising unemployment and the recession have been the price that we have had to pay to get inflation down. That price is well worth paying”.
Norman Lamont, Conservative Chancellor
Hansard, HC 6Ser vol 191 col 413 (16 May 1991)
Remind us again how this is relevant to McChump who just clearly said “zero percent growth”?
That’s just a net figure adjusted for inflation.
IOW, it’s what you say to indicate that in that year you’ll cover the increase in inflation, but no more.
Can’t say I’m too surprised at the ignorance displayed here and on the BBC over this.
I’m sure the economics journos will be cringing.
The major point remains that Cameron is determined to cut in the recession, as Lamont did before him, and Brown is taking the opportunity to invest.
IOW Brown is doing what everyone else is doing and Cameron wants to do what no one else is doing.
Much of the dispute over spending between Brown and Cameron is that Brown is saying something detailed and necessarily complex and Cameron is being Blck/white simplistic and most people are too unsophisticated to understand the detail.
Folk being ‘too unsophisticated to understand the detail’ is what allowed Brown to run budget deficits of 40bn a year in the ‘good times’ on top of PFI and then proclaim he had ‘balanced the budget over the economic cycle’ when in fact he had doubled national debt before the wheels came off his borrow and squander economy.
But you know that.
Patronising claptrap along the lines of ‘It’s too complicated for the proles to understand’ is just the attitude that these nobs and their followers have displayed for the last 12 years. I am a prole and I understand perfectly well. Gordon is a prize nob who doesn’t know his arm from his elbow and the sycophantic trash that sit around him wont tell him because it might endanger their ‘careers’.
Do try to expand your reading beyond the increasingly ridiculous propaganda & outlandish gaffs of McMental that Neo Labour pump out – try something by Schumpeter for a little balance in your outlook.
Let’s be very clear here. Government’s do not ‘invest’ They procure and consume. If we are to have a proper discussion,perhaps we can first remove the political fingerprints. Sadly,Brown never quotes increase figure s twice using the same calculation,so simplicity is paramount. He does have form,after all, for double and triple counting the same ‘increases’
You do, of course, avoid the obvious question – how will the increases be paid for? Debt,serviced by IOU’s paid for by money we print ourselves.
The economy is on life support and 25% of spending is funded by printed money.
We already have 42 billion pounds in interest on our debts to repay. What is good about this?
The “major point” is whether Brown is telling the truth about the current state of the economy. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. He is not. He has lied, is lying and will continue to lie. He cannot be trusted now or in the future. Cameron and Osborne are doing no more than making this fact crystal clear to the British public.
Brown investing by borrowing more – sounds a cute plan (NOT). So how’s he going to pay back the borrowing?
Brown s a complete fuckwit and is unable to tell the difference between a public sector worker and a private sector worker.
Every time the fuckwit creates a new public sector job he creates another cost to the public purse that needs to be picked up by the private sector.
So the only thing our fuckwit of a PM can do is keep creating zero sum games.
This fuckwit will not understand the first thing about economics until one hundred percent of the British people are employed by the state and then he will understand that there is no one left to pay his wages
The major point is not whether David Cameron has stopped beating himself. The major point is, what is the best policy for the economy of the UK.
Cameron and Osborne are too timid to state what their policy would be.
Brown is highlighting effectively what the likely Conservitude policy would be.
Being a pedantic knobhead isn’t clever or ’sophisticated’. Politics has to be painted in primary colours, especially in something as time constrained as PMQs, because it’s all about how the majority perceive a point. That Brown and his loyal band of bunker mates dont’ see that is why he comes across as such a wriggling dishonest slippery wanker. Mandy gets it which is why he’s a much better politician than broon ‘n bust.
I am a brain dead Labour Party drone
Invest what? NuLab have been running a deficit economy since 2001 building up to an ‘official’ debt currently standing at £800 billion, true debt estimated at £1.3 trillion with PFI, bank bail outs etc.
Darling’s 2009 budget has borrowings of £175 billion (2009), £173 billion (2010), £140 billion (2011) and £118 billion 2012, so they mean to go on running deficit economies and building up more pain for future generations.
Invest! don’t make me laugh.
According to Darling there won’t be a recession so next year so the Tories won’t be cutting in a recession.
OR Darling has mislead everybody.
Is rising unemployment, soaring public debt and scorched earth economics a price worth paying just so that Labour can squeal from the cheap seats when somebody else has to make the difficult choices?
I don’t think so.
The issue is that Cameron, were he in government, would be cutting now just as Lamont disastrously did before him.
That’s not a difficult choice. It’s a stupid choice.
That’s why no one else is doing it. They’re all doing what Brown is doing.
Pehaps Cameron is the only one who’s right, but history and common sense tell us otherwise.
Nope. Common sense tells us that printing 200bn quid this year just to make the public service payroll is lunacy.
Common sense tells us that just like the Honda lads in Swindon and the BA workers that we should be telling the public service that, for the sake of national solvency, they too will be taking a 20% paycut.
And why not? Thanks to unprecedented slashing of interest rates their mortgages payments have gone down massively. Even with a 20%paycut then, compared to last year when mortgages were higher they will still be better off after paying their mortgage.
Why not?
Seriously.
Because that’s what needs doing. As a nation we need to balance our books.
But that would be a ‘tough choice’. And would involve Labour being honest and standing up to its union paymasters. So they will continue to dress up trashing the economy as a rock-solid ‘common sense’ action.
It’s baloney. And you know it. And the voters know it.
I don’t want to see cuts in public spending, I want to brutal slashing, starting with all the non-job quango toss-pots and foreign aid. Butcher it!
Forgot the word ’see’ above. Sorry.
Yeeeeeeeeeeees
Solution to debt? More debt
Solution to spending your way into a recession? Spending your way out!!
In a macabre kind of way it is kinda funny isn’t it?
Carlos, there is however a fundamental differnece between the UK and elsewhere. Everywhere else in the world ran budget surplusses for most of the last ten years, as opposed to the UK under Blair and Brown, who ran a large deficit even in the middle of a long economic boom.
This is why the recession willl be so much worse here, it is that other countries are now investing (which is the corrrect thing to do in a recession) but we can’t afford to because we are completely bankrupt.
It may be a stupid choice but right now it’s the only choice. There is no money left so we are printing it in order to buy back government debt. If spending continues at the current pace there is no doubt in anyone’s mind (outside the Labour Party) that the IMF will be knocking on the door very soon indeed…
Normally I would agree with you. It’s good for government to keep things chugging over in a recession even if it means borrowing. Unfortunately the current government managed to bankrupt our country BEFORE the bad times. We are now right royally screwed no matter what we do.
Printing money and giving it away is not going to help. Nobody can fix this now and if they tell you they can then ignore them – they lie. Hold on tight, it’s going to be one hell of a bumpy landing.
Carlos, you cannot borrow your way out of debt, and that is what labour are trying to do. They are not “investing”, they are “wasting”. When it costs the tax-payer 700 pounds to pay 5 people to replace a single flourescent-light in a school, because of ridiculous health and safety guidelines? THAT is waste, NOT investment!
We need MASSIVE cuts in public spending. There is 50BILLION in waste that could be cut without affecting a single teacher, nurse or policeman.
Government revenue for UK Plc is reasonably static around the £500 billion mark per year.
So all cuts, borrowing, spending (sorry investing) have to be taken in context against what we actually ‘earn’.
A longer reply in the ‘queue’ but…
Carlos, there is however a fundamental differnece between the UK and elsewhere. Everywhere else in the world ran budget surplusses for most of the last ten years, as opposed to the UK under Blair and Brown, who ran a large deficit even in the middle of a long economic boom.
It is correct normally to boost spending in a recession, but we have no money left to the point where the Bank are printing it!!!
see 38 above. Did Ed get on to you as soon as he left the chamber?
Inflation would lead to worse than recession & unemplyment.
Don’t worry, with McSnot we’re about to get all three.
How is a quote made over 18 years ago by someone who is no longer a MP relevant? No doubt someone with time on their hands can find a suitable Labour quote from the Callaghan government.
Crisis? What crisis?
It’s relevant because Cameron seems to have learned nothing from that period.
Brown doesn’t seem to have learned much either. He’s been fucking over the budget for how long? Shadow Chancellor 1992 – 1997, Chancellor 1997 – 2007 & his snotty misshapen fists up Alastair Darling’s backside since then- and he still hasn’t a clue about running an economy (except into the ground).
There must be something he’s good at. Unfortunately, neither he or the voters have yet discovered what that is, apart perhaps from snotgobbling & bogy eating.
You have no evidence to support that assertion, Carlos. When you hve no money to spend, YOU STOP SPENDING, YOU PRICK!
Additionally Only a deranged fool would even consider increasing spending when there is no money left to spend. There HAS to be cuts, EVERYONE knows it. Gordon is running up a national debt of over 1.3 TRILLION pounds. The interest repayments alone are going to be crippling requiring massive cuts, or huge tax rises, or both. Why will Brown NOT come clean on what he would cut? Why will Brown not come clean on what taxes he will have to increase? At least has the data with which to make those difficult decisions. Unlike Cameron or Osborne who have been refused that essential data.
Why has the spending review been delayed until after the election? Is this, as some economists have stated, because the economy has collapsed so fast under labour that even the treasury have no clue about how bad it really is and are running to catch-up? Or is it because Brown has become so far out of touch of reality, that he genuinely believes that there is a magic money tree in the garden of Number 11 Downing Street?
The fundamentals of the economy are so badly fucked that there cannot possibly be any sort of genuine recovery until we start making things and providing things for export, bringing new money INTO our economy. Brown talks of spending our way out of recession. That is only possible from savings put by in the good times. WE ARE OVER A TRILLION IN DEBT! FFS!! Any hope of recovery will be slaughtered by the debt bill!
Biffo,
The abuse you indulge in is dull.
If you have a position, what is it?
Do you believe the UK government should cut spending in the middle of the biggest recession since the 1930’s?
If you don’t have a position……………………………………
MasterBaiter, It is not rocket science…
In the middle of a recession, (although we may still only be at the start of this one yet), one DOES cut the overall level of spending, but one also prioritises what spending there is far more effectively and cuts WASTE, of which there are at least 50 Billion per year that could be scrapped IMMEDIATELY.
Scrap giving the middle classes tax hand-outs for a start. It is ridiculous and immoral for well-off, middle class couples to be able to claim working families tax credit. I AM entitled to this state benefit, but have never claimed it. I don’t need it and I feel it would be wrong to claim a state benefit when my wife and I are in full time work. I practice what I preach and will not be a part of this Government’s client state, or take a bribe to vote labour.
Unless you believe that seven hundred quid for one fluorescent light-bulb is value for money, you must admit that there is MASSIVE scope for rational and reasonable and very large cuts in public expenditure?
But then what would the Prime Minister know about wasting tax payer’s money? He still employs the four time serial house flipper as the chancellor.
The quote you’re looking for is Jim Callaghan to the Labour Party Conference c.1976 where he said something to the effect that: “We used to believe it was possible to spend our way out of recession. I have to tell you, in all candour, that no such option now exists.”
True then. True now and said by a Labour Prime Minister.
A very high price to pay indeed. Considering the unions had fucked the country and they were controlling all the nationalised industries. Callaghan fucked the country too, just like brown is doing now, and we had to go to the IMF. What thatcher achieved has been flattened by the socialist again.
A very less than average country, where people have a right not to work and even when they do work they have so many rights to not even be at work. You think the minimum wage is great? how many jobs ahs that cost, instead of emploing four workers, they now only employ one. MONEY DOES NOT GROW ON TREES, IT HAS TO BE EARNED AND THIS COUNTRY NO LONGER UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORD EARN. The germanS and french can’t believe what is a happening to this country. Many moved here to crEate jobs in the free market and are now moving back because of brown and taking all their jobs with them.
This country, and it isnt all browns fault, although he has greated the environment for it to happen, is fucked. Too many people living off benefits including most immigrants who come here for a free ride and we are too timid to say so lest we be called racist.
Just a very very ordinary country now who manufactures virtually nothing, and losing what we have left by the day. Every one needs to wake upand smell the coffee before it is too late
My wife gets just above the minimum wage. Without me she wouldn’t be able to survive. How would you expect these 4 hypothetical employees who would take my wifes job for a quarter of the pay each to live? I’m rather glad we have at least the minimum wage – if you can’t afford to pay it then your buisiness is not viable and should be shut down so the resources can be freed up for use by another company that is viable.
thats why woolworths closed dim wit, couldnt afford to pay the minimum wage and all the other fuckin social cost that goes with every other job.
ground into extinction by browns economics
The reason your missus couldn’t survive on minimum wage is not because she couldn’t afford food or her leccy bills. They are still relatively cheap considering how vital they are.
It’s because you (or most of the country at least) took leave of their collective senses and tied up a major portion of their lifetime savings for a shit spit-and-MDF constructed Barratt box costing eight times their combined income for a grand total of about 1/2 their combined income in materials.
That’s what this ‘bust’ is all about. A massive boom predicated on massive consumer borrowing backed by the ‘wonder-asset’ that is our massively over-valued housing stock. Brown knows it which is why he spent the boom years (and the busts years) fucking with interest rates, shared ownership schemes, key-worker schemes, mortgage support schemes, pointlessly slashing stamp-duty etc etc..
If we want to enjoy sustained prosperity we need to slash planning law so that we can decimate the ‘value’ of building land and build cheap houses. Lots and lots and lots of cheap houses. A fucking massive over-supply of them so that we reduce demand and price and so that we don’t tie up our entire life paying for the fucking things to the exclusion of practically everything else.
This nation is a slave to its fucking housing. We don’t own our homes. Our fucking homes own us.
It has driven an entire decade of ‘boom’ and now the ‘bust’ is here the government is still too frightened to seize the nettle and address the underlying problem. Because they know that it is the fake ‘value’ of our homes that suckers us into thinking we were rich and what kept Brown’s miracle consumer economy on the road.
#176. Actually you are wrong. The reason Woolworths failed was that when it was demerged the crooks who did it loaded all the debt onto it and left KF with low debt. They planned the failure and the useless regulators allowed it.
Shutting down businesses that are ‘not viable’ is only fair and effective if that business is not trying to compete with imports that cost the equivalent of a bowl of rice. If Government didn’t rob small businesses blind they would be able to afford to pay more.
spot on. We are living way beyond out means and Brown and Balls invent more rights for everyone every day, ably assisted by the EU.
Let’s take the following situation:
A doctor, trained mostly at the taxpayer’s expense as an undergraduate, then secures a postgraduate training number which entitles them to get a (well paid)job in which service is secondary to training and the European working Time Directive limits the number of hours each week so the service element is progressively squeezed. As soon as the postgrad training is finished, said doctor gets appointed to a consultancy on c 80K. But, as she is pregnant by then, she only works for a couple of months before going on maternity leave. She then takes advantage of her right to additional time off on top of maternity leave and doesn’t return to her job until nearly 2 years later. By that time, she is pregnant again. She works 2 weeks then goes on annual leave, comes back for a month and then goes on maternity leave again…
… 4 years later the consultant has provided about 4 months of NHS service and been paid for 2 lots of maternity leave. She returns but gets more time off for refresher training . She then takes advantage of EU laws which allow her to take unpaid leave as she has children under 5 – selecting every August as it is jolly nice not have to work the long nursery/primary school holiday.
This is the wonderful word of family friendly employment Britain – shame if you happen to be a patient needing that doctor’s expertise which you have paid for her to acquire through your taxes. Also a shame if you are one of her colleagues trying to paper over the cracks in service and fielding all the complaints.
This sort of shenanigans is going on all over the place while the Supreme Leader promises more and more jam for everyone
If only …. try factoring in the 7 years worth of undergraduate loans that have to be repaid – not at the low rate of interest that was originally used to con (sorry, sell) the scheme, but is now at, or close to, a normal overdraft…. A consultant’s salary wont gp very far then..
It’s 2009.
David Cameron and Norman Lamont are not the same person.
They don’t even, to my knowledge, share the same biological parent.
Want to try quoting some of the things Kinnock said in 1991 and see how they hold up?
PS I belong to Old Labour values and traditions. I will never vote Tory. I will never vote ‘New Labour’.
0% of the population think I am a Very Great Leader!
That many ? Even in Scotland who usually protect their own think Brown is a total “loon”
There’s some very charming, attractive, intelligent & financially savvy Scots out there. Unfortunately Gordon isn’t one of them.
Bravo, I’m an excellent driver too!
This is a huge swing to Gordon Brown.
He’ll make such a wonderful teacher……………..
For the sake of my Grand children ,One lanp post please.
Thank Christ my grandchildren are not being educated in the UK so they’re safely out of his & Ball’s grasp. Just as well as up until now, the whole family are literate & numerate & I’d like to keep it that way.
Don’t worry. GCSE’s are so laughably simple and, for the coursework you can download pat answers from the internet and just paste your name on the bottom so that even an economic pan-handle like Brown would get an A* in maths these days.
Education, education and education you see.
An entire generation educated to the point where they can fill out another loan application and convince themselves it is sound economic sense.
Fuck filling out loan applications. Why can’t we just print our own money like the government does.
You dont’ even have to print it. Just imagine you have it, like the BoE does, and imagine you’re spending it, on buying your own debt for instance, then give yourself a peerage. Fuck it, why not make yourself King? Let’s all adopt Gordonomics; we can all be kings, we can all be the best in the world at everything in the world, we can all be heroes! Come, follow me, poke out your eye and stumble and stutter, gibber and reel and scowl, pull wide the fake smile and howl at the moon, dance with glee as the nation burns.
We’re doomed.
But I for one will go down with a beer in one hand and a big fucking stick in the other.
I think that sums up Labour’s political leadership and economic policy perfectly.
Maybe more than one beer? For old times sake?
And a fag…
Bottle of 18 yr old Laphroaig and a big fucking stick, and I’m with you all the way…
Well you will have to drink it at home.We are succeeding with our National Public House closure scheme,our Make Sure You Don’t Have a Fag Anywhere Scheme allied to our introduction of 24 hour cafe style imbibing.
Just imagine the joy in class.
Q. What lessons next?
A . Double economics with Gordon Brown!
Oh F***
I’d wish I was at school in Dunblane 13 years ago if Gordon walked in to my class.
Mine’s a treble with Ed!!

The whole Country knows that Brown and his closest allies are two legged spin machines who will say and do anything to retain power, so Cameron fighting on this ground doesn’t actually do much to help his cause (IMHO)
Time to move up a gear Dave.
I just keep watching it. Incredible. “Zero percent growth”
It is the Brezhnev tractor stat to end all tractor stats.
So let us recap the same old Labour Party in Government:
Economy ruined: Check
Sterling devalued: Check
Marxist money printing scam: Check
Railways renationalised: Check
Lisbon Treaty ratified without a mandate form the British electorate: Check
Unilateral nuclear disarmament: Pending
All at the behest of the EU so that the people will more willingly give in to an EU to “look after us”
Well FUCK THAT!
Get rid of these pro EU tossers and get some people in who will roll-up their sleeves and get stuck-in to rebuilding this nation. Scrapping the waste, boosting and unleashing the potential of real skills and enterprise. Removing the burden of the overbearing, over meddlesome, incompetent and corrupt Nanny-State, freeing our people to create a dynamic and strong economy built on real productivity instead of clinically insane levels debt.
It all sounds like an american viagra advert;
Are you leaving her disappointed again? Do you suffer from 0% growth?
Use can result in dizzyness, depression, sterling crisis, unemployment, QE, lay-offs, loss of consumer confidence, and falling house prices. Please consult a [Labour party approved] health practitioner before use
More like we’ve been shafted again.
Watch Harperson’s face when he says “0% rise in 2013-14″. Head down, reading some non existent briefing, then a quick flash up with the eyes to see if everyone on the other side is laughing (which of course they are), then eyes back down again and purse of the lips as she thinks (“what a twat”).
Gordon Brown = Mr Nul Points
i think gordon brown is a pretty cool guy. eh divides by zero and doesnt afraid of anything.
Today the FTSE is bouyant, and soaring on the news of revised GDP figures showing the economy rapidly returned to -2.4% growth in Q1 2009
It gets funnier every time you watch it.
Watch it once…. then watch the dancing gurning Gordon… then watch it again… lol
He’s fucking mental, and he’s wrecked our country, but he does give great Youtube.
How -seriously, how – did Gordon get to be PM?
Is this a dream?
Bullying and intimidation I heard
And a few compromising photographs.
“WND”, or “Weapons of Nokia Destruction”
OFF-TOPIC – I Can’t wait for Gordon to wish Andy Murray the ‘Best of British’ for the tennis, then see the weight of money piling in to lay the result as the Scot chokes before even getting into the final.
Yes – if Andy Murray loses, we can be certain that McDoom had wished him luck! :-(
Oh God. Is that England hating arsehole still in the competition?
He is of as of this afternoon. However if he wins he will be promoted to British
I’m sure.
You are all stupid. When Gordon said that public spending would rise by zero per cent, he meant it would rise by zero per cent as a proportion of GDP. Anyone who is economically literate knows this is what he meant. Take this Youtube clip down now, you Tory bastards.
“GORDON POWERLESS AS DARLING BEATS BALLS”
I have expertise in beating Balls.I too, had millions of dollars of other people’s money,with which I gambled.I too,had a wangy eye.
GODRON (sic) demonstrating his grasp of economics there. Maybe he’s so pleased with himself because he doesn’t understand what the ‘-’ symbol means in front of the GDP growth figures…
Don’t laugh! I also experience zero per cent growth.
When I was hill-walking in Peru, the headman in a small village, rushed out and welcomed me. ‘I can’t believe this, I’ve never been so happy, to think we are honoured by a visit from Sir Matthew Parris!’ He obviously said all this in Spanish, but I have translated it into English for readers who don’t have my capacity to learn the language within 48 hours’.
Parris
You’re nicked!
Sal a fuera a decirmelo!!
What a dick. His new attack is as priceless
“The Tories want everyone in the country unemployed so that there rich friends can make money from the abolition of the inheritance tax”.
Mmm McNobjockies logic is better than -10% of which only 80% will be purchased in a very white looking black. The other 20% is an increase from 30% which it may have been at some point before they all got murdered by Tories who will rape small children and animals.
Mr Brown you are the weakest link, fuck off.
Also the Tories are planning gas chambers and factories to render you babies into sausages.
Vote Labour.
Vote B*N*P !
And replace one monocular twat with another one! Pure brilliance…
No
Griffin isn’t monocular. He’s wonky eyed, yes, but he has got two. Oh, and he’s also a total Hoon.
The English – how very patriotic. How very New Labour!
Labour have already let enough people in to this country that want to kill us any way. And that includes you, cos they certainly don’t discrimate, they kill any one even themselves.
Yep there will be dead babies by the kunt load when the Tories get into power. I here they are going to create a new department called “The Department of baby killing and welfare”. Another rumour is “The Department for food and babies” and not forgetting “The Department for Doing Nothing Party”
Actually that makes very little sense. The majority of wealthy people in the country are wealthy because they made their money. The only way cutting Inheritence Tax benefits them is when they die.
Is he saying that the Tories are focusing on buying the votes of the dead? Or does no-one still bother to try to understand what the snot-meister says?
‘The Prime Minister’s answer must be heard..’ – Because it is a fucking classic foot-in-mouth faux pas !!
Bercow did seem to have trouble controlling his laughter didn’t he?
How the hell can he live with himself? Does he really not know that he is a laughing stock and clearly not up to the job? This clip makes me laugh and then wince as I realise what a shambles our present Government has become. I don’t dare to think what kind of a mess the Government finances are as the whole truth has yet to emerge. God help us all.
I clearly pointed out the rise of 0% is the inflationary pressure within my penis for 2009/2010. this is a clear upward trend unlike the flacid members on the opposition benches
Gordon, thought this link might be useful please pass on to anyone who may require it.

Please can we have a replay of Jo Swinson’s pendulous breasts?
yes, I thought that myself. Marvellous knockers.
Labour must be kicking themselves that they didn’t have an election last year and lose it.
Surely we can do something get get rid of this utter fuckwit before we get shafted any more.
You’re dead right.
I was deading an election and a Tory win last year – can you imagine the howls from the Labour benches and the BBC as the economy went into freefall.
The best thing Brown ever did – you could say his greatest non-decision decision.
Yep. It is the ‘ying’ to the ‘yang’ of Neil Kinnock losing the 1992 election. An election that if Labour had won would have seen them saddled with the housing bust of the early 1990’s and the Tories re-elected after a single term.
Now we have the Brown bust happening on Brown’s watch. And all he can think to do is print 200bn quid a year indefinitely to keep the million extra public service boxtickers, bedwetters and bastards he hired sweet and pay the other 5 million their massive wage increases since 1997 and the entire economy and the remaining 15,000,000 workers can go and fuck themselves.
I can’t put myself through listening to the idiot again. Did the twat accuse Call me Dave of cutting investment 2009/2010? Is he mentally preparing for the inevitable, in both senses of the word?
Just look at Tessa’s face a Brown does his zero percent rise thing ….
That’s her face?
Who else would have it!!
I would.
Anything is better than the one I’ve got. Some hair would also help.
I have. Its fooking lovely when she takes her teeth out.
Poor Gordon. Caught between his pride and his failure, he cannot let go but drives himself ever harder towards a nervous breakdown. I fear for his mental and physical health. If the likes of Balls, Harman and Straw had any human feeling they would try to arrange an honourable exit for him now – perhaps bribing a doctor to tell him that he has some dread disease that requires total rest for six months. I leave out Mandelson, the Lord High Everything Else from consideration of human feeling, of course.
Why should there be an honourable exit for the worst PM in living memory?
He has made the bed, now let the bastard lay on it.
At work right, they want to let me have a -2.5% rise, but I’m not sure if I’m better off with a 0% rise. Can any one get gordon to help me work this one out?
Definitely better off with the 0% rise.
But in making allowance for your startling stupidity I’d be inclined to dock you at least 2.5%.
At least.
‘Negative growth’.
I’m afraid this oxymoron occurs only too frequently in academic texts on economics and financial analysts’ reports.
As for ‘zero % growth’, wouldn’t ’standstill’, ’stagnation’ or many other alternative words be more suitable?
We’re talking about govt spending, not growth.
I’ve learned that it’s best not to complicate it too much. This lot here, with a few notable exceptions, are not too bright and can only hold half a thought at any one time.
A little brighter than you, it would seem. Some of them clearly understand satire.
Hope you are better with figures than spelling.
Zero percent rise.

I think Mr Hannan has a point – Mandy is allowing McMental to destroy the Labour Party to save the EU – why else would a cunning greassy smarmball like Mandy allow McMental to destroy what he built with Bliar?

Lord Jeffry Archer, London Conservative Mayoral candidate and former Deputy Chairman of the Conservative party.
On 19 July 2001, Archer was found guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice at the 1987 trial. He was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment by Mr Justice Potts.
I’m so glad to see some balance
“why else would a cunning greassy smarmball like Mandy allow McMental to destroy what he built with Bliar?”
So he and EU President Blair can rebuild it all across the EU!
The Bastards!
Lying, bullying, inadequate, smearing, brooding, dysfunctional, chip on both shoulders, misogynist, mendacious, mental McDoom is plan good entertainment.
He accuses Cameron of wanting unemployment when he points out the financial cost of it and it’s implications for public spending.
This is beyond lying, it’s desperation, it’s Homer Simpson territory.
Fan-fucking-tastic
I just hope he doesnt go insane or have ‘medical issues’ before he has to do the one thing he fears above everything, put his popularity as a politician, & more critically to him, as a person to the test.
One thing for sure. When (or if) Brown does put his popularity (outside of the fucking imbeciles of Kirkcaldy) to the test he won’t be fighting with one arm tied behind his back.
Not for him the trusty sword of truth. We can expect an ongoing tirade of half-truths, misinformation and downright lies from now until next year from the lunatic Brown. The depressing thought is that in the face of all the evidence of his economic idiocy you can still find 21% of the population who will vote for him.

“If it falls to me, to cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism in our country, then with a simple sword of truth, and the trusty shield of traditional British fair play, then so be it.”
Jonathan Aitken, Conservative Chief Secretary to the Treasury 1998
In 1999 it turned out the journos had been tellingthe truth all along, and Aitken went to prison for perjury.
I think there is a difference between a disgraced Tory from ten years ago and the current Prime Minister.
Yep, Aitken got sent down, so did Archer. At least the law WORKED back then!
Look at the fucking hoons and flippers like those four wankers from the HoL, not to mention Smiff et al – and what happens to them? Less than fuck all!
Nobody above the law… unless you’re a Labour politician. Then you can get away with what the fuck you like – shit that would get the rest of us banged up….
Compared to Aitken’s sword of truth we have been confronted with the Blair/Brow/Balls Gattling gun of lies.
One of Labour’s first acts was to politicise the role of the Attorney General. Turned out to be a very priscient move when Blair got quizzed over cash for questions. And when he needed a legal opinion on a war to emulate Thatcher’s popular victory in the Falklands.
Well the press are till kunts in my book.
You can always tell a deluded socialist – they live in the past and don’t have an original thought in their head. I think I’m right in saying that Aitken wasn’t PM at the time? What the hell has a bent Tory ex-minister (now reformed, incidentally) got to do with the utter shit-storm being foisted upon us by the present incumbent of that once-great office of state?
Not sure if this is a normal Tory failing but all the responses seem to mix up lies with perjury. The former is usual behaviour for both Labour and Tory politicians. The latter is a criminal offence.
Depends on where that 21% are sitting, spead like jam they will be irrelevant to the outcome. There will inevitably be a few “hot spots” but that will help by spreading the little jam that remains even further.

Good piece by Paul Waugh on why today’s PMQs may have been another nail in Brown’s coffin:
http://waugh.standard.co.uk/2009/07/why-todays-pmqs-mattered.html
“This was a man with the stench of decay around him.”
Gordon can divide by 0.
He can certainly ‘increase’ by 0%. Not like the do-nothing Tories who would ‘increase’ by -10%.
Brown had better be careful with that. His core voters will assume that -10% ‘increase’ is ‘better’ than a zero percent increase. They might jump ship like the other 95% of the voting population.
Education, education and education being what it is and all.

Serial fraudster stole £130k from Scottish Tories after being put in charge of expenses
Jun 17 2009 By Paul Thornton
A SERIAL fraudster swiped £130,000 from the Scottish Tories – after they put her in charge of paying expenses.
Janet Perrie forged signatures on party cheques made out to herself during two years at their Edinburgh HQ.
Background checks that would have shown she had two previous fraud convictions were not carried out and she was not caught until a month after leaving.
Yesterday at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, the con-artist admitted embezzling £131,467.
Perrie, a married mum-of-two, had gone to work for the Tories at their Princes Street base in Edinburgh in July 2005.
She had been seconded to the party as a “donation in kind” by Dunalastair Estates, who were paying the agency worker’s wages.
Background checks would have revealed convictions for embezzle-menin 1989 and 1994.
But none was carried out and she was made an accounts assistant with duties including paying expenses and preparing cheques to be authorised.
Perrie, 53, simply forged the necessary signatures and made more than 30 cheques out to herself.
She covered her tracks by writing fake payments in the cheque book stubs.
The con took place between January 2006 and October 2007, when she left the Scottish Tories, led by Annabel Goldie.
It was not until a month after she left that a bank returned one of the cheques and an audit was launched.
John Kirk, prosecuting, said: “Two cheques were queried in November 2007 and when the cheques came back from the bank it appeared that they were made payable to her.
“As a result an account audit carried out found in excess of 30 cheques where the panel made the cheques out to herself and forged the signatures of the signatories.
“Police were called in and she was interviewed and she admitted to the officers what she had done.”
The scam, he added, had been a “substantial amount of money over a year and a bit”.
There was no indication as to whether Perrie has begun to repay the cash.
The case was due to be heard in court in March this year but was postponed when Miriam Labaki, defending, said Perrie had injured her leg.
Yesterday, Sheriff Neil Mackinnon deferred sentence for background reports and Perrie will return to court next month.
He said: “Obviously I take a serious view of this.”
A Scottish Tory spokesman said: “The money has been recovered and procedures have been put in place to prevent this happening again.”
Perrie, of Bellshill, is well known in the Lanarkshire town as owner of Orbiston Kennels, which she bought in March last year.
She previously lived in Broxburn, West Lothian.
Last October she claimed that one of her dogs had died following a firework attack by local yobs.
He lives at No. 1 these days. This is a global problem and calls for a no-Balls solution.
Ahh..at last then….Gordon has proved my Hypothesis !!
Well they did say he was the ‘Prime’ Mentalist !!
Come on Osborne – get that spending info.
Then nail that one eyed gobbler to the despatch box over the coming months.
I personally guarantee that the govts spending will have more holes in it than….something with lots of holes…..a teabag say!
How come the glans on the end?
Afghan, Swiss Cheese, Gordon Browns brain.
What was PMQ’s about today? Broon (sporting new cut and blow dry, minimal make up ) was clearly on the back foot. Cameron got in a couple of quick blows , then the zero percent gaff, Hain looking like a blacked up Zulu extra all going well then with 15 minutes to go it all went flat. Not a tweet from Cameron, or the rest of the Tory front bench. Is this the new policy or perhaps Cameron realises the National Express train wreck has already happened and no longer wants to play at answering anything?
Could it be that Cameron is quite happy to let McBroon continue the excavation of his own grave?
The endless tractor stats. et al, which poor Gordoom doesn’t realise we cottoned on to a long while ago, an increase (or decrease) of 0% the math of which is beyond even his limited comprehension should be enough for Mcbroon’s demise without some Tory intervention.
McBroon is “aff wi’ the fairies” — of course only the application of a humane killer to where his brain may once have been, but wee David is too soft for that.
It was a Rorke’s Drift moment!!
I think perhaps, Vince Cables’ “Mr Bean” jibe was not such a joke, after all. Notice the woman (Harman?) to Brown’s left. She looks at him with an incredulous expression on her face, as if to say, “Did he actually say that?”. She is looking at him as if she wants to slap him all over the Commons.
Dear God, is the country actually run by a turnip like that? Little wonder we are in a bloody mess.

I fear you have just delivered a grave insult to bores everywhere.
I’m very, very insulted indeed.
You are a twat

O, Gargled Ire!
And pleasing to note that Mandy’s touring of the studios earlier this morning, accusing Osborne of lying, had not the slightest effect – the only embarassment I could see was in watching the bloke who believes he’s a brilliant PM and doing his best to avoid every question that was put to him.
Zero percent result, Fondlebum! You will just have to stamp that tiny foot of yours a little bit harder next time.
Mandy accusing anyone of lying would make anyone piss themselves laughing, talk about pot calling the kettle black.
You’re fucking telling me. Can’t believe he signed me.
Osborne had it right.
Brown, as the man in charge, is responsible for the decisions made by those underneath him.
And whoever made the decision, probably asked Brown before they made it.
The main point is that Osborne was refused access; not who was responsible for the refusal.
Smear tactics won’t work any more; they now backfire every time.
And it’s bit rich of NuLiebour to piously point out the difference between the government and the civil service. They seem to conveniently overlook the fact that Bliar was determined to politicise it from the word go. To our bitter and eternal regret he succeeded.
Rest assured that Toenails and the Al-Beeba will still run with Mandy’s Untruth Jibe for a day or two !!
T*ssers!!

How come Labour keep on and on about Tories sparing people inheritance tax but are now announcing policies to enable elderly people to preserve their savings and houses to leave to their children while the taxpayer picks up the tab for their care?
The taxpayer picks up the care tab for anyone living in a council house, regardless of savings. Why should people be discriminated against because they have saved and bought their own home? The sort of homes which are being sold off to pay for respite care are not country piles. They are ordinary houses owned by ordinary people.
I wish that the fucking labour voting fucking idiots up north would tumble to it though!
Socialism is a genetic phenomenon perpetuated by Labour and their welfare from cot to grave!!
They have. My part of the North turned blue in the local elections.

I have been talking to someone who one might say is NOT a techie and http://www.order-order.com has passed him by.
However, after listening to my feelings about badgers and the nonsense of culling them, had to point out that one thing we agreed on was Gordon Brown is clinically mad/psychotic (allegedly).
It’s a pity I cannot tell you who they are!…..
Badger watching is one of the greatest pleasures in a politician’s dreary life.
But only somewhere safe, like a copse off the M4, or possibly, in extremis, Clapham Common.
We’ got a hell of a lot of Badgers down where I come from: all over the bliddy place, they are – an’ cows goin’ down wi’ TB, like ninepins!
Which put me in mind: we’ve a lovely expression for someone grinning in an uncouth, or untimely way – ‘grizzling like a Badger goin’ to a Feast!’
Honestly, giving three different answers to effectively the same question does rather make you question the PM’s competence, doesn’t it? (I am in a charitable mood today, I’m not using rude words.)

Gordon and his tribe have a lot riding on the next election.
If “none of the above” get elected, failure to revoke the treason act will have been a major oversight.

What is silly about observing that Gordon and his cohorts are acting in a treasonable way against the best interests of this country?

As long as the Conservatives promise to cut inheritance tax all my children and grandchildren and great grandchildren will vote for them.

PMQs was always knockabout stuff, but at least with performers of the calibre of Blair and Hague at the despatch box, you were guaranteed first-rate knockabout. What we are getting at the moment really is third-rate stuff.
For a start, the transparent dishonesty of it all lent the whole thing an air of unreality, with Brown looking for all the world a broken, bewildered, beaten man. And with the cabinet looking on more in sadness than with any great enthusiasm or support for him this really was a sorry show. Dismal, desperate and depressing stuff.
Woe is is me —

Ed Balls suffers from 0% growth, according to his missus.
…but can you blame him, with Yvette as his stimulation?
Ar butt, a cooper knows her barrels.
No-one asked about contact with McBride today. Is this because they want next Sunday’s papers to reveal all about the contact that has taken place, but which Brown has denied and Balls feigned ignorance of? Or, is it because we have all been told definitively what has happened to “Mr” McBride? I might have missed uit, but has it been conclusively shown that McBride was sacked from the civil service.
Oh yes, and Michael Martin steps into the House of Lords! Give me strength!
Balls and McBride have been in contact. Balls ‘volunteered’ this information.
Probably just camouflage to give Brown ‘plausible deniability’.
But has McBride actually been sacked? Where’s the evidence?
McBride is busy organising the new stassi replacement michael jackson shows at 02.

Actually, someone in high places has told me that the plan is for the new stassi front bench to replace michael jackson at the 02 shows. They have been practising for several weeks which is why there has been so little activity in parliament:

It took the Leader of the Opposition almost a year to admit that there was a recession all over Europe. Now that he’s had to admit it, perhaps she should also admit there’s a need for cooperation all over Europe to deal with these issues.

Sorry, perhaps slightly OT, but does illustrate the consequences of ‘zero % growth’.
“The government today announced that it is freezing student grants and loans and cutting financial support for trainee teachers but increasing tuition fees.
In a statement to the Commons, the university minister David Lammy said the moves, which will come into effect in September 2010, were a reaction to the tough economic climate.
Grants for poorer students and universal maintenance loans will be frozen for the first time since the system was introduced and fees will increase by 2.04% to £3,290. The loans given to cover fees will increase accordingly.”
If inflation is below zero, why are fees going up 2%..?
He’s off his truck.

But I have been confused by Prime Ministers questions, because Brown clearly thinks that this is the result of what Cameron’s policies would have been had he been in charge of the economy and not Brown, and it is therefore not Brown’s fault at all, because very clearly, he isn’t in charge of anything.
Even his mouth appears to be outside conscious control.
what?
the government claim a massive increase in help to prevent people from being made homeless.
why, the latest figures show an increase from 2 to 6 people have been helped. That’s more than a 0% increase but I’m crap at maths and was an only child…..

Was it just me or did anybody else hear the dolt claim “2 and a quarter million people are leaving the unemployment register every month”
To be found around 10.17 on the PMQ archive.
The crap is so overwhelming we have the luxury of ignoring the minor cock ups for the home run stuff.
Got to go and break the good news to my staff that I’m going to abandon this year’s pay freeze and everybody will now enjoy a zero per cent rise instead. To be delivered in the style of David Brent.
Hansard now has it as:
“A quarter of a million people are leaving the unemployment register every month”
still bloody ridiculous.
How many are going on it?
It seems we have a tremendously mobile population because if a quarter of a million people are leaving the unemployment register every month, we must have a population upwards of 200 million – no wonder Brown wants to spend a couple of quid more on housing!!

The Labour Government are bereft of individuals who have had a proper job – let alone started businesses that created the wealth & the jobs they are now squandreing with their insane fiscal policies.

But seriously there are decent honest members of the labour party who are utterly dismayed at brown and the party. ORDINARY MEMBERS WITH NO SAY IN THE PARTY, I don’t know why they stay, they are completely impotent. Brwon has taken over the party like militant tried to do. Just ask all those councillors that lost their seats in the labour heartlands. Brown plays politics even with his own party for his own gratification.
Decent honest councillors thrown to the wolves for browns quest to survive in office.
Serves you right for being such a bunch of deceitful cock suckers then. No sympathy. There are lamp posts reserved for them. And fuck you too for associating with them.

Absolutely pathetic.
‘Decent’ Labour MPs have had 12 years to see what Blair and Brown were up to.
Bravely, these MPs decided to do feck all about it, opting instead to keep quiet and keep their snouts in the trough.
Brown is the leader they deserve. He will ensure that the Labour party is annihiliated at the next election and many of these MPs will be out of a job. Good.
Such a shame that their unprincipled spinlessness has completely screwed the country though.
They have been brainwashed into the socialist doctrine of party infallibility. If they have any independence of mind or personal courage they should leave and join the LibDems or something.
So why the fuck dont they do something about it?
Read ‘Animal Farm’: “Four legs good, two legs baad!”. For many, it’s a case of ‘my Party, right or wrong!’, and there comes a Macbethian point (as in German National Socialism and Russian Soviet Socialism): “I am in blood so far steeped in, Go back were as tedious as go o’er.”
BoE guv. at Wimbledon? He’s given up on you now. Fuck you Gordon.
Another day another policy u-turn. what can we expect to be cancelled tomorrow
More of the same — its called consolidation, or, CONSOLIDATION OF ONE’S POSITION!
Just admit it — you’ve lost.
Oxygen for that fraudster Brown?
Has anyone else noticed “The Terrible Twins” either side of GB during PMQ AND watched their expressions (along with the rest of the GB front bench)??????
I’m nearly (not seriously) feeling sorry for them.
Same outfit, same hairdresser (with a sense of humour)—- same exspession……
COMMETS ON A POSTCARD thanks to Mandy…..:))))))
typo…. COMMENTS
CAN YOU NOT EVEN COPY IT DOWN WITHOUT MAKING A MISTAKE TUT, TUT.
Piss off, I know Labour are a deceitful bunch of cocks but god I hate you Tory Boys, ooooooooooooooooh I hate you, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Admiral just had her period
For anybody who doesn’t think the NHS should be made more efficient and accountable.
My son is grossly overweight, but because he spends half his time with my ex wife I cannot do much about it.
GP refers ex and my son to paediatrician. Paediatrician refers ex and son to dietician, writes letter to dietician, copied to GP and health visitors.
Dietician sees ex wife and son, refers them to different dietician, writes referral letter, copied to GP, Health visitor and original dietician. Writes report copied to GP, Health visitors, original dietician and paediatric consultant.
They decide he may benefit from speech therapy; write letter to two dieticians, paediatric consultant, health visitors and GP.
Has he got hearing difficulties?; write referral letter to hearing Dept, copied to paediatric consultant, two dieticians, speech therapist, GP and health visitors.
And so on ad infinitum.
Note that at no stage does anybody ever give me an appointment to see any health professional with my son, although he spends half his time with me and half with his mother.
Pediatricians, Hospitals and Health visitors only do babies and mummies. Fathers are just low life and nobody pays any attention to them.
The information everybody is being given is untruthful, and the letters are multiplying like confetti.
That is how baby P came to be killed by a female carer.
You poor bugger ( GF please…..)
This is repeated all over the UK.
In-laws of mine had to wait till an attempted suicide before the father was informed….

Your imitation of a human being has failed. So much for caring socialism.
Take him for a run then, and keep him away from processed foods
I was a fattish kid, then got addicted to running rather than sugar
When he discovers women I am sure that with some help from you he will drop it
There lies the problem.
Getting the FAIR access IS the problem…….
Sad but very true Moley. The ’system’ just doesn’t recognise fathers as equal…
Correction.
The Health visitors are actually the only sensible ones, (or maybe I am lucky), it is the Social Services who could not find me a male social worker although they were willing to recruit a female one who spoke my ex’s native language.
“We don’t have any male social workers in this office”, they said.
When I complained about gender bias to the social services, they wrote back to say that my complaint, which was very politely worded, was disrespectful.
HaaaaaaaaaAHAHAHAHAAaaaaaaaaa “Correction” — dont make me fooking LAFF!
HAhahahaaaaaaa!!!!1
lol
My Tourettes medication has now kicked in and I would like to humbly apologise for my cretinous outbursts on here today.
better……
The VERY best of luck…..
TRULY>>>>>…….
There is no greater cruelty in the world, than that of a large and unaccountable bureaucracy.
The people in it can no longer care for the sick because they are so busy writing, reading and filing letters to each other.
As for the people who make the silly comments; your own words condemn you.
How much of this stupid bureaucracy could be got rid of tomorrow with no effect at all on front line services?
In fact, from Moley’s sad story maybe some large cuts might streamline the services and lead to better care from those on the front line, who can serve the customers rather than the endless form-filling they are subject to today…
“My son is grossly overweight”.
Take the whip to him soon get moving about.
Dave
We know that you have .243 and some shotguns
Put us out of our misery and slot the Hoon next weds
Calmly walk across the floor and shoot the fucker in the face
A grateful nation will then make you King
PARAPLEGIA has clearly not helped your mental disposition…..I am gonna trace your IP and report you to the authorities…..you are a danger to the public.
I wish to sincerely apologise for my earlier comment. It was crass and uncalled for.
I don’t actually know how to trace your IP thingy, so I don’t even know why I made that threat.
Isn’t it a bugger when you only have a script to type from, you don’t understand what it means and the punctuation is a foreign concept.
Much like labour policy documents.
no apology – it STANDS.
Blow his useless brains all over that bitch in the row behind,with some of it splattering Harman’s grotty smirk.
What a load of clods you lot are, just stand back and look at yourselves, you prattle on with the mantra Brown’s a Lune, Camoron’s a king yada-yada-yada, come on wake up, change one for the other and you change nothing, and the same goes for Clegg.
Brown has a PhD in history from the University of Edinburgh his only career in civvy street has been working as a TV journalist, remember “no more boom and bust” prudence my ass, there has never been a labour regime that has not brought this island to economic disaster, they usually manage to achieve chaos in five years, the only difference with this lot of clowns is that it has taken them longer to get there.
Cameron was special Advisor to Lamont at the time of Black Wednesday, and advised him to stick it out no matter what the cost, several days after the event, after hundreds of thousands of Joe public had lost their business’s and homes, he advised both Major and Lamont that in his opinion the exchange rate mechanism should be rejoined as soon as possible, as it remained the best option for Britain, and that say’s all that needs to be said about the lack of intellect of the bullingdon moron.
And for those of you clods who didn’t know G. B. PLC HAS BEEN IN CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY FOR SEVERAL DECADES.
olded
Well goodness gracious me, I didn’t realize that Cameron was so powerful all those years ago. Strange I can’t even remember his name being mentioned then. I certainly never read at the time that Lamont and Major worked under the instructions of a very junior adviser. As they say “you live and learn”.
I wouldn’t argue with you about Brown, and you’re probably right about our current bankruptcy.
Anyone who says ‘yada-yada-yada’ is clearly a cnut…
I’m a Kunt.
And the English are kunts for not getting rid of me.
This remind you of anyone?
From Masters and Commanders, by Andrew Roberts, p.271
Four months later, Brooke [Chief of the Imperial General Staff] threw a dinner party in Chelsea where he gave his views on Stalin, saying that the Marshal ‘gave him the creeps. He looked pale and even grey with the flesh hanging from the bones of his face. Stalin did not “register” when Churchill came into the room – it might have been a footman.’ Brooke added that the Russian dictator showed ‘no sign of humanity…’
I’m starting to believe in reincarnation…
VERY GOOD Sir……..
and to you Madam, and to you dear lady, very well done (or slightly rare).
Well losing 26 million (TWENTY SIX) million of your troops defeating the Nazis does not make you a barrel of laughs. You owe him and the allies your freedom, ignoramus. Don’t make cheap pointt out of the war, eh?
Ah, the “but the trains ran on time” argument. Never mind the 13 million peasants he did in (my own Paolo was a lucky survivor). Thinking the West owes its freedom to Stalin is rather like positing that Jenson Button owes his wealth and success to Oswald Mosley.
errrrrrrrrrrrm – when he first forcefully collectivized the farms by the zimbabwe method i.e. pinching them and then murdered most of the farmers leaving agriculture being run by government advisers. Approximately 30 million died of starvation whilst millions of tons of foodstuffs rotted in the fields through lack of management.The estimate indeed could have been much higher but uncle Joe was so embarrassed by his own genocidal initiative that the national census ceased for several years in order to hide the magnitude of the disaster.
Uncle Joe made Adolph look like an amateur.
The remarks were made by Sir Alan Brooke you fool.
Nevertheless, your idolization of Stalin is revealing. I look forward to your justification of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, the invasions of Poland, Finland and the Baltic States, the Holodomor, the Gulags, etc. etc. ad nauseam.
No, you were a bigger fool for reading history fornicated by Andrew Roberts — that is what motivated my reply *twat*
He shot quite a few himself did ole Joe .

Guido, there are limits.
This is YOUR BLOG . . .
Kiss my Royal Arse )!(
Sir, respectfully I must disagree with your comment.
Yours in respect, politeness and good manners,
Cosmo
Kiss my royal arse is what I said and kiss my royal arse is what I meant.
I agree Admiral. The odd troll comment can be amusing and add a bit of spice, but what we have here is someone with ‘issues’. The compulsion to reply to every single post is not rational behaviour.
There are an increasing number of posters for whom it is necessary to scroll down as fast as possible. Whole threads become corrupted.
On some days there is very little that is worthwhile.
There are more ways of destroying a blogger who has crossed you than injunctions.
I am increasingly being drawn elsewhere, which is a pity, because I think that Guido is under attack and is failing to defend himself.
well said. also people coming on and posting near the top is annoying.
if you two cripples don’t like it here then fuck off.
no refund no receipt.
goodbye.
good fucking riddance more like!
I am getting tired of the new BBC mantra “Labour Spend, Tory Cuts”
I am getting even more tired of the constance reference to Trident. Trident is defence on the cheap. Nuclear weapons kept money in the economy to fund the middle class excesses.
Trident, cheap…..er, I don’t think so
If you showed the govt front bench on TV 25 years ago it would be assumed to be a sub Crossroads-quality soap, or possibly a secret film shot in one of the rooms in Neverland that Jacko dedicated to his mysterious and unrequited love of wax dummy politics.
The lying glass-eyed snot-gobbler has just said on Sky News, with a deeply, horribly shifty smirk on his face, that the economy is expected to grow by 0.7% that year, but the chamber was “so noisy” that he “couldn’t get all the figures out.”
Unbe-fucking-lievable…
sorry but
R O F W M D H O_T…..
roll on floor with my dick hanging outside-trousers?
That, as we all know, is not what happened at all.
Doctors of Physick are required. They should attach their John Hancocks to what I think used to be called a Compulsory Hospitalisation Order.
He’s dangerously mental and turning into Jim Jones. Having said that, some cooling special grape pop for the PLP on a hot day would do ‘em no harm at all.
The Gorgon is now a puppet whose strings are being pulled by Mandy n Blinky.
Maybe there is a bit of Common Purpose in there to, but can’t fathom that one out.
So now we have it. “Lord Mandelson informed the Prime Minister yesterday that he had reached a judgement that the Royal Mail part privitisation bill would not go ahead”. Do as you are told Gorgon
Adonis spent some time recently going around the country on the rail network and obviously came to the conclusion that he would like his own train set.
Bingo! Today he is forming a new company “East Coast Mainline”
You couldn’t make this stuff up for gods sake!!
My maternal grandfather used to drive A3 & A4 Pacifics up and down that line. If he was still around he’d lay into their noggins with the fireman’s shovel.
Only because mandy “can’t fit it in” before the next election, shame that.
Looking at the televised coverage this afternoon Harman looks as if she is giving head to the bloke sitting right behind Brown.
Poor bastard.
Harman – Miss Blow Job 1906
Gordon Brown Mr Zero Percent.
That just about sums you up, you useless, unelected Prime minister.
I think you’d better leave right now!
God – reading blogs are so depressing. I really am beginning to hate the country I ought to love.
Education Education Education – oh bugger Ed Balls Up is in charge of the most important department in the country and I wouldn’t trust him to cat sit.
Cur Ball’s head off with a sodding sharp axe
Isn’t it more painfulif the axe is blunt?
Just watched Bruin on the news being interviewed by Robinson.”We will make efficiency savings”- Iwas an “efficiency saving” in the last recession-lost my fucking job to save money.
So efficiency saving=jobs cuts=reduced spending=cuts.
When are these interviewers on Aljabeed going to ask proper questions and put the lying bastard on the spot
you missed out “difficult choices” “challenges”
Oh, god. THIS hulking creature is our prime minister.
We are doomed.
Look at it this way.
Gordon will be able to say that we achieved twice the growth we forecast.
AND when they all bugger off on their hols anyone for 2nd (or 1st) home squatting
Or rather a job, I think the labour party have the monopoly on providing people with Jon’s and Manuels for their gay friends.
Did you see the front bench when Brown talked of growth of 0%?
There is something going on here – they sat totally still without looking up – Brown is now in the stages of rigor mortis – the body is now dead.
If the head is not moving? and the body politic behind it/under it is dead.Bury it.
Election now.
Fucking genius!!!!
…and McBroon has probably retired to his bed thinking he is just that.
Lordy,lordy.
Newsnight just doing piece effectively absolving Gordo of any wrong doing for putting the country in the financial shit. Absoluely fucking shamless these Hoons at the BBC.
Can someone get the clip of the face that Hoon Ben Bradshaw pulled during one of the PMQ replies. Its scary.
Which one is Bradshaw? All these Labour Hoons look the same to me.
It seems Gordon’s brain has finally reached its bullshit tolerance threshold and started to subconsciously tell the truth.
When we had proper teachers and schools,I remember Ethelred being unready.What we have now is ,Aethelred, you being totally surprised by Gordon Brown actually coming somewhere near the truth.Schoolboy error.
You need to some elementary research and rethink all of that.
I did.I have.The schoolboy error was mine.Respect.
[...] madness of Gordon’s state of denial became clear yesterday. He stood there at PMQs and claimed spending would grow 0%. He has set himself a dividing line alright, it is the line between economic reality and economic [...]
[...] Guido Fawkes [...]
