Positive Story About Gordon Brown
Guido is often accused of being relentlessly negative about the Prime Mentalist, as if his ability to ruin everything he touches (the economy, the Labour Party, all sporting hopes) was Guido’s fault. So here, to dispel the idea that this blog is entirely negative, is a positive story about Gordon’s favourite sport’s team. As you know, he’s a big fan of his local club Raith Rovers, who’ve been doing very badly in recent seasons. In the season just finished, however, for the first time in years, they won the Second Division Championship. Something that will bring a rare moment of joy to Gordon.
It seems churlish, though not irrelevant, to point out that the pressures of being PM have meant that this is the first season in years that Gordon Brown has been unable to curse attend a single match. The Chairman of Raith Rovers F.C. is the only man in Britain who wants Gordon to stay in Downing Street…
David Miliband MP, Labour’s Foreign Secretary, commenting on the Tories’ new European group, said: “With the current global economic and political circumstances, it is more vital than ever that Britain remains at the heart of Europe. The Conservatives under David Cameron’s leadership have dragged themselves from Euro scepticism to Euro extremism. By removing the Conservatives from other mainstream centre-right parties in Europe, David Cameron has isolated his party and potentially this country when we need influence to deliver on the issues that matter for Britain today.”
Well said Mr. Miliband!
When your fucking leader gives us the referendum on Europe that he reneged on, then and only then can they criticise any other parties policy.
if he is the only man what about women
What?
What do you know about women? You think that giving them a good beating every day, not allowing them any human dignity, and keeping them suppressed is all they are good for. You are slipping London Muslim as you have not included a rant against Isreal.
No they are good for making dinner, washing up and ..er, other stuff.
And for picking you up from the pub.

All that muslims know is death to Israel, death to America, death to England, death to the Jews, death to Christians, Sikhs, B’hais, Hindus and while they are about killing everyone, death to all muslims who did not come from their own villages.
And death to Christmas – the bastards.

I’m no fan of the Liberal Democrats or Nick Clegg. When I needed some real political action they didn’t pay attention or give a damn. As for Nick Clegg, he’s just another air-headed charismatic. Passion and gladhanding is fine but no substitute for delivery. When I get the sense the Liberal Democrats have entered reality and Nick Clegg displays some integrity my view might change but until then they can remain in the political wilderness.
Certainly, there’s a lot of skill and knowledge being shuffled around but clever only gets you so far. How smart the individuals, Shadow Cabinet, or Parliamentary Conservative Party turn out to be is another thing. Having edge and flair is one thing. Being able to wield and slice is another. Behind closed doors, I suspect, David Cameron knows that more reflection and maturity will be required before he is able not just to win but deliver in the qualitative sense.
So far, Gordon Brown has helped raise the IQ of British politics and given a nod to wisdom. David Cameron has mirrored him but the deeper problems of the narrow and self-serving competitive approach remains to be tested. As I’ve discussed before, and Roy Hattersley sagely reminded us of in his opinion piece, A New Dawn After 13 years, society is better served by not playing the winners and losers game.
Nick Clegg speaks highly of you though, Charlie.
What the hell does this mean (courtesy of Mr Hardwidge, spokesman for the current government)?
“So far, Gordon Brown has helped raise the IQ of British politics and given a nod to wisdom.”
Nodding at wisdom may suggest a passing acquaintanceship, but it’s a long way from being on intimate terms with it.
Riff Raff: Firefox and Adblock Plus. Job done.
Hey, Hardwidge; “Roy Hattersley” and “sagely” in the same sentence. That’s pretty good going.
@ Charely Hardwank
“Gordon Brown has helped raise the IQ of British politics”
Rubbish, he has helped raise the amount of lying that’s all. If he really wanted to raise the iq, whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean, the best thing he could do would be to kill himself.
As for Roy Hattersley – he is the worst kind of pompous, snobby, self-important wank-fest of the left.
“A New Dawn After 13 years, society is better served by not playing the winners and losers game.”
If I was a lefty, I would be touting that line too, given that they are going to be getting a good thrashing fairly soon.
The only European things that matter for Britain is un-signing the Lisbon treaty, repealing European laws and getting the UK back to EFTA status.
It is a good thing that Britian is not the heart of Europe; a spell in ICU beckons.
Semantics matter. At some point, whilst our backs were turned, Intensive Care Units became Intensive Therapy Units. Signage changed in every hospital in the land, job descriptions and payscales were doubtless redefined in consequence.
Some genius realised that ‘caring’ was not part of what hospitals did. They offer healthcare services; ‘therapy’.
That genius should be found, and found a posting where they can do no further harm.
Preferably six foot underground, bound & gagged.
Charles,
If you want to cut and paste something tasteful, visit Osborne & Little for some ideas. Apart from that – you appear to be off-topic.
He could cut his wrists and paste his blood all over the walls of Labour HQ. That, too, would be off-topic, but none the worse for it. I suspect that when the dust settles after the next general election, a few others at Labour HQ will probably follow the lead.
Yes, like Banksy but with real blood grafitti. Should be a hit, particularly if he uses about 7 pints of the stuff.
Trolley not too clever also.
Your comment is off-topic.
Plus, where are the citations for ‘graphics fidelity’? You told us you invented it, but have yet to offer a shred of evidence. Until we see this, we can only conclude you are a deluded fantasist.
Did Gordon wish you luck with your career, by the way?
With this in mind – are you a friend of Al ‘I invented the internet’ Gore?
I’d make a comment about ‘Graphic Infidelity’ again, but our Contessa (who doesn’t possess a pair of shoes) might take me to task again. :-)
I resent that Adrian, only today I purchased 5 pairs of old but unused espadrilles.
Guido you are delusional. As the man over on the right says. How _can_htree be a positive story about Broon? Raith Rovers notwithstanding….
And the relevance to Guido’s post is what, exactly ?
I wonder whether ‘trolls’ (aka keyboard monkeys) are paid on the basis of targets from taxpayers coffers ?
I suspect you’re right. I wonder if the next government can send the Labour Party the bill for the misappropriated taxpayers’ cash, plus interest. Perhaps the keyboard monkeys will end up in court, too.
What chance has Gary McKinnon the Pentagon hacker got now of not being extradited over to America. The reason being Sarah Brown was in tears yesterday when consoling Garys mother, so if Gordon wants a bit of nooky on his birthday he will have to do something to help him which will probably result in Gary getting a lethal injection instead of the expected 40years.
This kid is lucky. He will be tried in a British style common law system with a jury. Unlike the Euro crap we are now having forced one us here. The politicals in the US do not have the power to keep someone in jail until they die, as they do here. So he is better off there.
Ask for a green card while your there son.
cov lad,
you have won the ’sp@stic of the week’ award.
very well done!
I am a bit surprised at the spaciticity of your comment though: you are a cripple through choice, yet you would like to see someone with a real mental health condition jailed in the american jail system. you sick fuck.
and I am very surprised to hear you praise that brutal money making jail regime that exists in the united states.
america locks up millions of black people simply so the white guys who run them can make billions of dollars of profit.
you fucking crackerjacks really are the most devious devils.
motherfuckers better watch out for globally you are in the minority, outnumbered by four to one.
america could well be the next south africa, indeed they now have a black president thank God.
you honkies had your chance and you fucking blew it.
you always want to cause war and the white bankers always want to steal.
must be something wrong with your crackerjack genes, eh?
Lord Handlebottom would like your builders crack!
It seems they are – my reply to 1 – Charles Hardwidge being ‘rediverted’ and pasted under 26 ….. so clever, truly amazing.
The EU(SSR) and Europe are different. When a writer merges the two deliberately watch out!
The futures of the peoples of Europe depend on resisting these authoritarian “post-democratic” loons.
Good point. I consider myself pro-europe and pro-european, but certainly not pro-EU-rope. But Psycholops isn’t really pro-anything other than clinging on to power for another 11 months, during which time he will ensure that the debt burden is one from which there will never be any escape. He really needs shooting. And soon.
Dear Charles
You must be a very sad and lonely person to be sitting by your laptop or with mobile in hand on a glorious Saturday afternoon, so that you can be first to comment (sorry, spout your garbage)
I myself have taken the sun’s rays, had a glass of a rather nice chianti and had sex (with my wife)
Now as evening approaches and in the spirit of the new conservative gay friendly atmosphere, I shall soon be setting off the watch Mathew Bourne’s Dorian Gray.
That is what the weekend is about, not propagandizing for a set of useless socialist twats.
Regards
Horatio
What? Sex with your wife? Are you insane?
Outdoors, and whilst drinking chianti. That’s quite a feat…
Outdoors, and whilst quaffing Chiati. That’s quite a feat…
With the wife? Sounds FUCKING BORING – unless of course they’re newlyweds.
Maybe the reason for the Chianti is to alleviate the boredom.
lubrication?
He’s harmless really, he’s only boasting.
Sex with your wife? Surely that does not fit in with the new pro gay philosophy? You should be having sex with someone else’s husband!
Once again highly relevant to the thread ( unless Raith Rovers are in Europe next season).
The only way Raith Rovers will get into Europe is if Broon invades the Sudatenland
167 If Broon invades Sunderland with punch his fuckin’ lights out.

Go fuck your rent boy Charlie
charles ‘boringfuckingc’unt’ hardwidge
you seem to have a knack of raising the wrong subject at the wrong time.
well done retard!
the issue is gordon brown.
gordon’s story is a tragic tale for all concerned.
he has made so many mistakes that it is now foolish to talk of relaunching an un-seaworthy vessel like gordon, which is a shame for him because the truth is that gordon brown has had as decisive affect on Britain as margaret thatcher.
the one thing that brown got right atleast in principle was the redistribution of wealth.
when the city runs riot and gets out of control their must be devices to hold keep the dog under control and that means on a short lease and muzzled.
it is a shame that he is so partisan that he could not resist using a noble cause for party political advantage instead of reinforcing the culture of redistribution by refining one of its main methods, tax credits.
tax credits, alongside the full nationalisation of the banks that the taxpayers currently owns majority shareholdings in, could be the very best ways to regulate capitalism.
but brown has not got the courage to go the whole hog.
that is because brown is too close to the americans and doesn’t want to upset his friends. just like blair.
it could be argued that without the support of the British taxpayer the americans would have gone bankrupt by now.
which means that those motherfuckers owe us big time. infact the americans owe the British everything they have, for without us they would not have anything.
but brown’s mistake was instead of targeting the very neediest he offered tax credits to people on very large salaries in an attempt to buy their votes, and he also ignored the fact that 40% of people entitled to credits do not claim them which made all his other projections on poverty eradication meaningless.
and the final nail in brown’s coffin is his Vietnam, Afghanistan.
the taleban are locals, alqaeda are foreign fighters.
not only are we bombing innocent civilians attending weddings and killing taleban fighters who are locals our forces are also drawing alqaeda combatants into the theatre we have created.
so the farmers are growing opium and we are sowing dragons teeth and leaving our soldiers to harvest the crops.
’tis utter, utter madness. we make ourselves a target for no reason.
we must withdraw from the pointless expedition in Afghanistan.
america must be left to fight its own dirty wars or it will never learn.
and the propaganda bonus would be that we would take away osama bin signingon’s excuse of a cause because we would no longer be occupiers.
good one, innit.
a definite vote winner as well as being in the national interest.
it is the right and correct thing to do.
and anyone who says otherwise is gonna get their fucking brains bashed out.
BECAUSE I AM TOP BOY AND YOU ARE JUST TORY SCUM!
Redistribution of wealth? You communist motherfucker.
you’re a right fucking charlie, aintcha!
you misunderstand my position dimwit.
I am not supporting redistribution for the sake of redistribution.
I am suggesting that redistribution should be used as a regulatory device to control the worst excesses of the markets.
if the markets don’t screw the arse out of it then redistribution will be less.
if they continue to fuck us as they have been doing then redistsribution will be more.
its is up to the markets how they behave and therefore they will ultimately decide how much redistribution of wealth will be necessary.
there charlie, having read my post you will now be less retarded than you were yesterday.
you fucking dullard.
mr ned,
the complete public ownership of the banks we have majority shareholdings in is essential for two reasons;
1) we’ve already paid for them, therefore morally they are ours
2) it will then be possible for the government to borrow from the nationalised banks at reasonable rates. we will only get ripped of by the fraudsters who run the private banks.
there is no other way for us to get our public finances back in order within five years.
the tories would be against all of those proposals and that is because
THEY ARE GREEDY SELF INTERESTED MILLIONAIRE SCUM!
FUCK OFF DAVE YOU BENEFIT SCROUNGING C’UNT!
I’M TOP BOY YOU WANKER FUCK OFF SCUM!
I say OTHERWISE you commie bastard. You must’ve drunk too much Horlicks to come up with this pathetic rant.
I hate communists.
they are one of the enemies of working people.
you fucking idiot.
Congratulaions TaT, you have won “moron of the week”.
Your prize is an evening with Gordon Brown; you make him look like a fucking genius.
come up with your own lines you cretin, don’t steal mine.
thankyou.
I agree with everything you write there tat, except the nationalising of the banks. I understand where you are coming from on that argument, but it is not the banks that need to be nationalised. It is the power to mint coinage (in other words) the power to create new money. This should be regulated and handled by an elected body and money should be created interest free.
ohh TaT you are a TWaT
what a load of tosh.as a tory with a business in france,and love of the french people,all i want is accountability,a vote on the constitution and a reasonable debate about the laws passed in europe that apply to us in the uk.
the bullying and lies from labour and the libs are beyond the pale,and making me,from a moderate on europe,into a complete sceptic.
Ditto me. Labour have a habit of turning those who are ambivalent about them, or even those who are supporters of them, into bitter distrusting enemies. Such a political party is doomed and has no future.
The fuckers have to go.
The EU have excelled in their lack of unity with Great Britain in this diplomatic spat with Iran.
A cynic might suggest that Europe only need us as net contributors to the Brussels Trough.
While nuclear weapons remain on the table I’m not sure it’s right to draw the line at Iran having access to them. Likewise, I’m not persuaded the bullying and divisive foreign policy strategy of America makes them exemplary players. Strip away the considerations of power, status, and wealth and the issue is one of policy and character, or maturity. From personal lives, to communities, to nations, our character follows us around. The only way to be better is to do better. Here, I think, the international challenge is a distraction, and that more profit might be found by focusing more on internal affairs. It’s from this foundation that personal, business, and social success flows.
So you admit labour are dictators do you charlie boy, after all if Iran is run by dictators and it’s not right for us to talk to them about nukes the logic obviously means you see and acknowledge the double standards of dictatorial Labour.
Oh well only less than a year now to put you out your misery Charlie boy.
Nuclear weapons on the table? Good God man are you insane? It’s the salt and pepper pots not missiles.
“The only way to be better is to do better.”
Er, do we hang gays?
Nope. We’re better, then.
It’s not really doing much good though, is it?
Call me cynical, but I reckon that Europe only need us as net contributors to the Brussels Trough.
Hi Cynical – however, I suspect you’re completely correct.
Don’t forget the fish!
What would a Labour fanatic know about the qualities named in your post ?
Id like to know how Smallwidge manages to commute from this far off planet he lives on back to earth with such ease ? for a twat that doesn’t live on our planet he has some weared views ! the tit
Your Furer must be so proud of you.
Good example of Miliband talking bollocks and lackies like Charles lapping it up. We need to be in a trade agreement with other European countries not dicated to by a federal central government. That is exactly what the new grouping (of eight national parties) is about.
And in what way is your troll statement related to Raith Rovers and one thankfully absent supporter?
more fucking lies hardcastle lad
Very well done Mr Cameron. It is high time that the views of the majority of people in this country were taken into account. We do not want to be part of an 18th century super state. These fell apart at the turn of the last century and Mr Miliband and his fellow travellers now want us to join a newer version of this.
It is high time a party in this country took the initiative in breaking the headlong rush to a corrupt and undemocratic entity that would seek to remove our freedoms.
Well done Mr Cameron!

Absolutely Charles.
All Canelloni-Cameroni has to do is repeal Rome, the SEA, Maastricht and Nice. Oh and Lisbon if it’s got stuck through the Irish before we get to it.
Then, if needs be, he can ask (tell) the Queen (who probably doesn’t give a stuff either way by now) that ENGLAND will LEAVE THE UK.
The world-banky-bastards will be queueing up at Threadneedle Street with their begging bowls, as soon as he does.
We shall be able to buy France’s submarines, including the one we nearly sank, for 2 Euros. And add them to ours.
It’s good to see someone on this silly website has some sense Charles. I thought I’d draw your attention to this – ‘IMF Praise For UK Recession Plan’.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8059861.stm
Keep up the good work Charles, I love your posts. Keep on fighting the good fight! :D
Next time the IMF better not be so diplomatic. The BBC only reported the sugar coating.
Err! is that what Alan left all over Gordons Face?
BBC report…so a total load of bollox heavy slanted in favour of the fuckwits in No 10
Enough said.
Oh and Hardfuckwidger stop talking to yourself your multiple guise does not fool.
Er…..I don’t know how to break this to you, but you and Charles Hardwidge are the same person.
Harman-Pride is Derek Drooper X-LabourLost & I claim my £5. Delusional as ever I see dear boy. Hope you enjoy your fantasy life ‘cos your real one isn’t up to much! BTW, did you enjoy your book reviews out on Amazon?
No mate. Derek has “got religeon” and also his missus has given him a neck slapping he’ll never forget, “You’re a married man with kids you oik!” *SLAP!!!*
“Ow, babes!”
Thank you Harman_Pride for that excellent link. It’s true that Labour are the party of fairness and equality: my pioneering work on graphics fidelity wouldn’t have been possible without Labour investment!
Er…..I don’t know how to break this to you, but you and Harman Pride are the same person.
Probably a schizophrenic!
Fairness and equality,my arse. The gap between rich and poor has widened dramatically and is both a tragedy and national shame. Piss off you warmongers.
Peace and love. Dixie
Why don’t they post their shite on the Labour party sites?
Could it be that they know that no one goes there?
Your pioneering work on graphics fidelity?
A quick google on Mr Hardwidge shows a up a few clueless questions on photography forums where he get’s laughed at “you’re wasting potential photographic time on useless pursuits of technical minutiae that won’t yield anything of value” is fairly representative.
In fact I suspect that the quoted labour investment in his project is cashing his giro and using limitless free time to make himself as annoying as possible in any online environment where he is under the mistaken impression that he has something important to say.
He frequently claims to have invented the concept of graphics fidelity in the context of the ‘computer game’ (sic) industry. Googling yields very few results here either, and he has failed to offer any evidence to support the claim.
Hardwidge is a classic case of a deluded Internet nutter with zero credibility.
He thinks a game engine powers a Go-Kart.
‘deluded nutter’. Hence Harwidge’s affinity for another deluded nutter, G. Brown
munchausen syndrome??
It is impossible to have both “fairness” and “equality”. Fairness demands that people are treated unequally. And equality before the law does not mean equal outcomes.
We are not farm animal for socialist control freaks to socially experiment upon. Stamp out socialist parasites who trough at the expense of the taxpayer.
Hear! Hear!
Anyone would think that Marxist ideology actually works in practice, given the vigor with which it is being pursued Europe-wide, and shamelessly promoted by Buggers Broadcasting Communism and tawdry rags like the Guardian.
To Budgie. It’s good to finally read that there is someone else who understands the difference between fairness and equality. That evil man hating feminazi bitch Harridan Harmsmen certainly doesn’t but then again she is a feminist a socialist and she went to public school.
Lucky you, Charles. I wonder how many people reading this are still waiting for the government to help with their mortgages?
All of them less 2.
Didn’t the minister announce that the number assisted had risen from 2 to 6 – a 200% increment !
200% excrement is more like it
The only people this set of wankers help with mortgages is themselves !
Yup, there have been loads of MPs getting help with THEIR mortgages. In fact the government has been so helpful there that MPs did not even have to be in difficulty, or even have a mortgage to get help paying for it. If you happen to be a real “hard working family” in difficulty, then touh shit, you’re fucked!
Oh Charles, could this be love?
Brown’s rising investment is damned by the following part of the IMF report:
Targeting a more ambitious medium-term fiscal adjustment path for implementation once the economic recovery is established. The focus of this adjustment profile should be to put public debt on a firmly downward path faster than envisaged in the 2009 Budget.
Hard to see how you can lead upward spending along a downward path.
Pathetic sockpuppetry – do you really believe anyone thinks you and Hardwidge aren’t one and the same?
Make up your mind ! youv’e either got a “Big D” or a “Smallwidge” which is it ?
harman pride, charlie, thick as thieves(tat – - that meant rubbish when we were kids!!!!) spedo etc etc – possibly all the same person.
Presumably Guido can tell from IP adresses.
It says much about this site that he allows them to post as they do. Other sites – BBC/Sky/TomW etc just delete them.

Good Evening TAT – I hope you have had a lovely day too!
Nice BBQ in the sunshine – glass or two of an aussie red – laugh and a joke with friends.
I do so hope you and gordon have also enjoyed such friendship –
Oh Dear!! I hear gordon has had a bit of a grumpy day as he declined to march with GayPride today because he feared he would get booed if he appeared in public.
Hence he sent Sarah, so she could take the flack – Lo and Behold – the crowds clapped and cheered her. Gordon is not a happy bunny!!!!

Mr Thick (or Thieves)
Can you post one message without a single profanity in it? Going on, give it a try, you might like it!
He’s noddin ‘is ‘ead.
Vigorously….
TAT use spell checker it may help to hide your a moron, as it is so clear you support Labour as you can’t spell, can’t write and very surprising you can read. Go stack some more shelves………..
TaT the twat now using CAPS (pathetic emphasis of the web ingenue) to froth out his hate speech. Clearly losing the plot.
are your thick as thieves fan club subscription payments up to date doctor feelgood?
if they are not then you will have to wind your neck in and button your lip.
and it is interesting to note that your definition of mental illness is someone who uses capital letters.
oh dear, what a mad thing for you to say in public!
shhhh… we don’t want people to know about your schizophrenia now do we doctor feelbad, whooops!!!!!!!
cat’s out the bag!
now fuck off schizo.
Tat, there is help at hand. No need to cry like that, we’re all rooting for you. You’ll be ok. We’re your friends you know. We all love you. You’re quite a clever little sod under that urbane exterior. It’s just that politics isn’t really for you. It gets you too worked up. We’re only worried for you tat. We don’t want you to lose that ‘je ne sais ken’ in your writing. You obviously have great talent, it’s just not right here. Keep your chin up tat, you may win out in the end!
TaT the twat, you should have noticed that I did not actually define the use of caps as indicative of mental illness. Therefore, I find it interesting that you have effectively accused yourself of this.
In respect of the continual use of absusive hate speech on your part, I am sure that most reasonable readers of this blog have drawn their own conclusions concerning the credibility of both you personally and the political views you claim to represent.
Oh, using lots of exclamations marks; e.g. “!!!!!!!” is pretty lame too. If you had intelligent comments in the first place, they would not need this emphasis.
dr schizo said:
“TaT the twat now using CAPS (pathetic emphasis of the web ingenue) to froth out his hate speech. Clearly losing the plot.”
but then the backtracking c’unt went on to say:
“you should have noticed that I did not actually define the use of caps as indicative of mental illness.”
OH YES YOU DID YOU DOPEY FUCK!
now fuck off schizo.
what a fucking c’unt.
bare-arsed contessa,
ah, tory troll love bombing.
I don’t need your approval nell.
I’M TOP BOY!
you need my approval.
TaT the twat, your reply merely serves to provide further evidence to support my point. Do keep on with the caps lock – it really does help us understand where you are coming from, it really does…
pathetic dr schizo, just pathetic.
you useless c’unt.
If you look in the ‘Review’ section of today’s Telegraph, there’s a rather good drawing of TaT on page R20. Spitting image, in fact.
no I am not autographing it for you engineer.
you will only go and sell it for loads of dollars on ebay.
Why don’t you be a nice bitch and put some lipstick on???! I’ve got a raging hard-on.
it amuses me that you have no insight into the ridiculousness of your own position.
I am the person who conflated the words troll and bash and you are using those terms as your pseudonym.
you could not make this shit up.
then you, under the pseudonym I created, try to attack me.
you are a fucking idiot!
but thankyou for the best laugh I have had in ages.
you hopeless cretin.
My position is on yer back sunshine. How rediculous is that you saucy catamite??!!
saucy catamite? is that like marmite for pussies like you?
Nice try but theres no come back to my post,,,,,,geddit?
If its my turn to be pussy monkey man do you prefer butter or margarine? Can you tell the difference? hahahahahaha
thick as thieves impersonator at 8.43pm: you are a thief.

Bloody tories, bloody labour.
p.s.
I am a commie but i am too fucking thick to realise it
Care about what the IMF thinks? Couldn’t be arsed to read the BBC BS on this one. Do you even know what they are..?
The IMF sees Britain in car boot sale terms. We’ve been junked by NuLiebore.
You actually read the BBC news website?
Don’t you find all those short paragraphs are insulting to the intelligence?
And paragraphs starting with And. A bit silly?
Written by children, for children?
I’m glad someone reads it. It costs a lot.
the bbc are toast and they know it.
it was in on the nu liebour conspiracy
It still is !
BBC’s text:
The UK government response to the global financial crisis has been “bold and wide-ranging,” the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said.
Translation from New Labour speak / BBC bullshit:
New Labour’s response to the global financial crisis has been “clueless and damaging to every sector of the economy (except the public sector)” the IMF has said.
The IMF also noted that they look forward to dealing with the UK, just like the good old days of past Labour governments.
When the IMF had to bail Labour out do you mean?
The Government have indeed done many of the right things to combat the recession that they were largely responsible for creating. They deserve some praise, in the same way as a drunk who tries to clear up his own vomit.
Bit behind the times arnt we? That article was published on the 20th May, Since then our Dave has proved to one and all that Ali D and GB are fucking liars when it comes to figures.
The IMF will soon be praising the quality of London’s Hotels as that is where most of them will be spending most of their time.
fuck of harm-men pride you hoon i is going to lose 50% of my wages
Have they got any benders like Beckham?
Indeed I am one.
Now let me ramble on about section 28 please.
You’re a pathetic Hoon Ben Bradshaw. Slimy, creepy and rather repugnant.
Oooooooh, don’t be such a spoil sport! You know you love the flash of my pearly white teeth, the glorious highlights in my sun -kissed hair, my well manicured, tanned, effeminate, and work shy hands, and above all the superiority of my intellectual powers!
That is deeply offensive. Typical Tories, you haven’t changed a bit.
Equality is the cornerstone of Labour’s society.
Only if you mean all equally poor, that is.
Right. That’s why Broon shares his cleaner 50:50 with his brother. And we all pay for his share.
Your cornerstone is a bloody millstone.
Equality of outcome is another way of saying removal of freedom.
If you really believed that everyone was equal then you’d want everyone to pay the same amount in tax.
Well, AC1, they started to move towards that when Gorgon scrapped the 10% tax band.
Under Labour poor people pay a higher rate in tax than they do in America. The marginal tax rate in the UK for some low earners is ABOVE 90 per cent – thanks to Gordoom McDebt.
Equality was also the cornerstone of that fantastically egalitarian society in Logan’s Run.
The state raised you, housed you, fed you , educated you, entertained you and, at the age of 30 murdered you, irrespective of anything.
True equality – available from your neighbourhood socialist nutcase!
Show me a poor (money wise) Labour politician and ex-politician. They are
PATHETICALLY POOR on delivery of promises and actions.
Well Ben, it’s a good sign that there will be no depths to which nulab will not stoop at the next election.
You have have fought a dirty election last time, but the next one you are going to fight downright filthy and sick, it is now apparent.
May you get what you truly deserve.
Guido – have no sympathy for the McBroon…Othwise you will be awarded..

Time for all the other teams in that division to club together and buy him a season ticket.
He has to attend to place the curse I think.
McDoom’s timely intervention, in wishing Raith Rovers good luck in a table top clash with Ayr United last season, allowed Ayr United to beat them convicingly at home.
How is young Miss Fawkes today, Guido?
If McDoom supports them they should be called “Wraith Rovers”.
If Lord Lordy Lord liked them too, they’d be Ringwraith Rovers.
Even a song about Gord (copyright Raith Rovers FC)
CLUB SONGS Gordon Brown
I’m Gordon Brown, my home is in Fife
I wanted to make a new start in my life
I was ready to fly to the U-S of A
But a certain wee lassie would say
Chorus
Oh no no no nooooooo
Gordon Brown
Oh no no no ma wee laddie
I don’t want tae go
Tae Idaho
I’d rather stay home in Kirkcaldy
Raith appear to be enjoying similar popularity as GB: Someone ‘phoned the Raith
office recently to enquire the kick-off time and was asked “What time do you want
us to start?”
OK to stay on topic we have to make positive comments about gordon.
Ho Hum – this might be a bit of a challenge.
Err, err … he is helping HP’s and Nokia’s turnover, It’s the right thing to do.
How about we say to him if you sign this piece of paper we’ll make sure you get a nice comfortable room with soft walls?
We could call it Challenge Gordon. He helps a community with a challenge by scrounging stuff for free of small businesses and then builds something useful. No sorry seem to have gone completely off topic , used the word useful and gordon in the same context. Well I a least tried.
Was that tumbleweed blowing past?
He’s helping foreign car manufacturers?
How’s that for positive?
Or, he’s positively responsible for the biggest debt Britains ever known?
He’s almost singlehandedly giving the Tories a landslide victory at the next election and possibly even putting the Labour party into third or forth place.
Even if Cameron went on a one year round the world cruise, when he came back he’d be given a set of keys and be told, “we’ve already moved your furniture into No 10.”
That’s pretty positive.
We can be positive about Gordon – he has united the country.
Never in my memory has the country been so united in it’s loathing for the ruling political party, and it’s leader.
OK – that’s sort of negatively positive, but ‘fraid it’s the best I can manage.
He makes Tony Blair look almost decent. That’s an outstounding achievement.
IMPOSSIBLE!
I would suggest that that comment was 0% positive – well done
Yep, who would have believed Brown could make Blair look so good. Must really make GB lose sleep at night. Come back Blair all is forgiven well at least for a couple of months till the next GE. I doubt that even Tony’s seat would be safe.
….and don’t forget his endearing smile.
Talwin, le mot juste popped into my addled noddle today … the adjective is GHOULISH. His smile is GHOULISH. There is no other word in the language that so aptly describes it.
His cud-chewing gurning is a subliminal reminder of the dangers of mad cow disease.
Does his support for Gay Pride mean that it too is doomed? Is that good or bad?
Depends, has Peter Mandelson “outed” Gordon Brown again as being gay?
again?
Did the gorgon dress up for the Gay Pride March, or was that his wife? The spat between newlabour and the tories about which party is the most (or least) anti-gay I feel sure was kicked off by Mandleson. He’s always creeping about using his energy thinking up diabolical ways of tripping up the tories, and he must have supreme knowledge in the world of the gay.
He got rid of Blair!
A small genunie positive for McBroon!
PISS ON BLAIR
We all love to hate Gordon.
I am absolutely positive that Gordon Brown alone has completely crippled Britain’s economy.
All very well, – but it’s the after-game showers that would worry me – and the opportunity(s) to offer a little covert botty comfort to any hard working scottish players (sic) that might come too close!
And all strictly private off camera – ‘for security reasons’ – piccys of the players.
I note the picture of the wee fitba players’ celebration is titled raith Rovers TV.
Is this a reference to the persona which Gordo adopts whenever he attends a match?
If you put “gordon brown positive” into google search it brings up — ‘gordon brown says ” you can’t legislate love.” ‘
+++smiles++++
This was, he told gay campaigners this weekend, the principal on which he based his policy on Gay Rights. Apparently there are 3million pink votes to be won here. And gordon wants them.
According to the sun the pink voter is moving over to the tories.
Oh Dear – my positive comment about gordon has just become a negative one!
I’ll have to go away and try again ( this is a bit like an exam!!!!)
He’s failed, I have never voted Labour and never will.
Pink vote my arse.
Ouch!
Legislate love? Now those are the words of a man who regards thought control in the same salivating manner as a dog does a piece of steak…
Trying hard to think of a single positive Gordon thing… Hmmmm. Whistle. Tap foot.
Er….
no, you are not a very good thinker, are you pt?
so I will have to help you retard.
wealth redistribution is the only noble thing gordon attempted.
he didn’t get very far though.
the bankers and the city didn’t like the idea.
and gordon didn’t want to upset his american banker friends.
it wouldn’t have helped his retirement plans as gordon likes to holiday four times a year in america.
it would have made his visits very awkward if he had been rude enough to regulate his friends.
and that is why he came up with the tripartie regulation nonsense.
it was all a load of shit from the beginning with brown total fucking bullshit.
he would have got away with it if it wasn’t for that pesky recession, but ofcourse brown’s policies allowed the recession to happen.
useless fucking c’unt.
but still, the policy of wealth redistribution was a noble policy to attempt.
credit where credit is due.
I have a fondness for (a) punctuation used correctly and (b) the english language used with precision and accuracy. You display neither. I am, therefore, unable to discern the meaning of your garbled utterances. Please resubmit your work which will unfortunately have a mark capped at 40 if it is deemed to pass.

I’m top boy now TAT you missed the boat old son.
TAT YOU LOST FOR WORDS AGAIN LAD??
He’s munchin sausage again. Just wait a mo
tat dear – you use the word ‘cripple’ an awful lot.
It’s not a word we hear often now in the english language. In fact the last time I encountered it was when I read Charles Dickens. It wasn’t appealing then. Neither was Charles Dickens.!!
If you are talking about people who are disabled – Are we talking about soldiers who are irreversibly wounded in combat (brave men!)- children who are born with disabilities – or as in our case a child who has become disabled because of NHS incompetence – or are you referring to disabilities caused by a myriad of other problems.
Please be precise.
Not any more he won’t! Anyways hes gone now. Have just given him a bottle of pop and a tenner for the taxi and sent the little runt home to his mam.
I use the honky crackerjack thing to draw the racists out.
works like a charm.
dumb honky motherfuckers must be stoned because they fall for it every time.
maybe there is something wrong with white peoples brains?
bloody bn p morons.
nell,
I am ofcourse talking about intellectual cripples.
the fact that you were not intelligent enough to figure that out means ofcourse that you are one.
oh well nell.
conservativefoam it is for you then.
“thick as thieves”, what an extraordinary way for you to spend your time! What pleasure can you derive from insulting strangers on the internet? You must be a very odd person indeed.
By all means waste your time on an illiterate diatribe in reply to this; call me a cripple (your own Bowdlerization of your former favourite epithet, “spastic”), a Tory wanker, whatever you like, because I shall not read it. I am switching off my computer now for I have better and more normal things to do.
backtrackin scumbag. always slaggin off the disabled likeits a joke. you just a punk
Mr Thick says to me:
you fucking water carrying shit shoveller!
you are toiling and it shows.
you are sweating like a fucking rapist.
Leaving aside the absurd illogicality of this sequence, your last quoted insult is beyond flaming, it would be libellous in any other context than a blog. I’m sure you’re very proud of your verbal ‘gymnastics’. Such a clever little boy.
what a pair of sp@stics!
similes are good, innit?
in fact I do not know what I would do without them.
oh, and I am also covered by the satirical and sometimes absurdly humourous nature of my posts.
but it is interesting to note that you have not denied being a rapist.
now fuck off sex pest before I kick your nonce head in.
Are you still about TAT facking hell can you not take the hint like Michael Jackson and go top yourself you pedo.
Neither black or white will miss you either.
Oi thick kunt your only covered with Guido’s permisson. We’re not in America you retard.
I think you will banned very soon matt c.
oh well, I am sure we will get by without you.
No one likes the idea of having their money taken and given to someone else. Sometimes not even the people on the receiving end.
Lucky i no how to come back init cause i’m the real deal.
Teach you a thing about trolling yet old boy.
TAT the thick kunt thinks the DMCA covers him, You’ll be gone with me down the pit lad cause Guido can get sued for what you say.
If anyone wants to sue you for your racism, homophobia, anti-semitism, ageism, slurs on the impaired and disabled etc. etc. they can if they want.
I’m the champ round here your the chump.
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS TAT YOU SOFT LAD. I AINT SCARED OF GETTING SUED COME ON LET’S PLAY.
I said before, tat is all mouth and trousers. No fuckin brain you could bash unless you had a magnifying glass.
Matt mate he ain’t worth it.
troll basher,
how brave of you to protect your boyfriend, matt c.
but surely you have a conflict of interests?
matt c is a troll but you are not bashing him, you are rimming him instead.
if you are going to rim trolls instead of bash them then perhaps you will have to change your name to ‘matt c’s personal rimmer’, or how about ‘troll rimmer?’
fucking retard.
Matt C is a good bloke and you is a tosspot of the first fuckin water.
Understand now bich?
not really.
perhaps it would help if you speak English.
As I recall, he was made to get married for the good of the Labour Party under the ‘Gordon Brown Must Get Married Quick Act’ I clearly remeber the Act being passed in Paliament. So obviously you can legislate love.
Oh hi bubbles!- everyone – me again!
Fancy making some progress wiv my itsy progressiv bitsys?
Most people like Gordon Brown, myself included, tend to focus on abstracts and personality tends not to be a factor. It’s why Gordon Brown can crack a deal while sitting next to a man he might dislike. President Bush is his equal and opposite. Cracking a deal under those circumstances is very, very hard. I know, I’ve been there.
As for the positioning, you can chuck that book in the bin. Our character type can’t give a rats ass for positioning. Goals, getting people on board, and achieving outcomes is primary even at the cost of self-sacrifice. Steve Jobs, Ieyasu Tokugawa, and Baroness Young of Scone are the same. Think quality and no man left behind.
People like simple answers and the fuzzy nature of the world can be problematic. And yes, again, how we deal with things is important, as it’s key to how we change, how we influence the world, and the outcomes that flow from that.
Most people tend to equate principle with absolute values. Independence while aligned, getting out while staying, shunning war while embracing war look paradoxical. How can this be principled? The rule is right until the rule is wrong. Clinging too hard to principles can undermine them. Best get real and let go.
In summary, what I’ve described is the essence of Zen Buddhism. I don’t know if this comparison is deliberate or if I’m reading things in that aren’t there. It may be a bit of both, or neither. Who knows? Who cares? All one can do is remain open, relaxed, and allow experience to accumulate.
Have you been smoking weed?
“People like simple answers and the fuzzy nature of the world can be problematic.”
I think this answers that one.
Probably someones old socks!
I’m a Buddhist and went to a hot dog stand when I was in London last. I said, “make me one with everything”.
B’DUM TISH!!!!!!
Thanks for that! I’d forgotten how good that joke was!
“It’s why Gordon Brown can crack a deal while sitting next to a man he might dislike.”
That certainly cracked me up.
Does Gordoom deal in crack?
Ass cracks maybe.
Or cracks one off…
Hey Charles,
Wanna Michael Jackoff memorial ticket?
£100 for nulab toffs
Did ya hear Sean Locke say on 8/10 Cats that Jacko isn’t having a ‘lying in state’ – he’ll just be dangled over a balcony lmfao lololol.
I’ll take 3!
and I’ll need a receipt for the Commons office.
I hate everybody, so that’s no big deal asshole.
Trying hard to stay on-topic here
Gordon sees personalities as a very positive vote winner for him.
That, of course, is why he fought so hard to get his place at Obama Beach’s side at the D-Day Commemorations.
Why he made such a song and dance about commiserating over Jade’s death
Why he has given Alan Sugar a place in the HoL
Why he made sure his condolences over the death of Michael Jackson were all over the Press.
Oh Yes !!!! Personalities are , according to gordon, a very positive side of what he is.!!!!
Shallow man.
Mr McBroon and his PR man Lewis are trying to up his image at second hand… Witness today’s very odd article in the Grauniad about his Missus and her twittering… or is it tweeting… and about her very many celeb friends (ye gods I bet she needs them being married to the Vodaphone chucker).
For the life of me I can’t decide if it was meant to be tongue in cheek or not… bluff or double bluff…
…any available bandwagon, eh?
Well done Nell!!! You’re doing fine!
This has really stumped me, I’m afraid. Something positive about Brown?
Well, in less than a year the delusional twat will be gone/ How’s that?
The bit about embracing war while shunning the defence budget is pretty accurate depiction of Labour policy.
Never mind the 171 UK dead in Afghanistan though, eh? How many died needlessly through lack of proper equipment? How Brown sleeps at night I don’t know. Hope the fucker is haunted.
To Dr feelgood.Brown like all Labour Feminazis and NEW MAN NONCES is all prepared to send real men to fight and die but are too scared to fight themselves.To send men to war without proper vehicles and helicopters is an absolute disgrace and shows that he has no moral fibre at all.
Charles, have you been on those Jamaican woodbines again?
SNIFF MY FART!
In the words of the prophet, Charles, you are a total and absolute cnut!
Spot the deliberate mistake – we’ve moved on from President Bush. Move with the times man.
He really cracked a deal with Sarkozt at the G20 summit. Sarkozy hasn’t had a good word to say about Gordon since.
You know very little of Zen Buddhism
“Do you know where the disease lies which keeps you from reaching true understanding?”
“Most people like Gordon Brown”
No; Most people hate the fucker.
You’ve probably just clocked one of the places where the green is going Guido.

No. He looks too wise!
LOL. Excellent graphics fidelity in that image.
Lights! Camera! Oh bugger – where’s the bed?
Who’d have thought it? Dolly!
I don’t think it’s Dolly. This guy is too well manicured, his hair is too clean.
thats my unlce STAN, late of Little Rollrigh, Oxon…..
The grim reaper come for Gordon?
How dare you.
The lady in the picture is my wife!
Can’t be him. With such foolish and naive views, you will find he is a spotty 15 year old who trolls on here in between looking for pictures of women with big tits.
Surely you mean RingwRaith Rovers Guido – y’know, the dark, apocalyptic riders from LordotRings of which the One Eyed Son of a Manse would rightly and properly be the one-eyed/Dajjal-like dark messenger of.
Now you’ll encourage him to turn on that sickly, vomit-like “smile” when he hears the good news about his team…I hope they don’t have a mishap on their way home now he ‘knows’…
Look, I’m not pandering to people who don’t have the stones to engage in serious political debate. I’ve explained my background in the computer game industry and my cutting-edge work on graphics fidelity and why I’m qualified to speak on political matters. If you keep muddying the waters you can’t complain that the fish stay away.
The truth is that the Labour party have a strong leader and a positive attitude and all success and worthwhile outcomes come from that, which is why I’m not afraid. Hey, life goes on, things will get better, and when they do Gordon Brown will win a fourth term. You heard it here first.
Be happy.
Maybe smoking something stronger?
The truth is that the Labour Party are stuffed.
Stuffed if they win, stuffed if these lose. Anyone for a hung parliament?
yep all 646 of them, swinging from lamp posts.
What about Santa Clause, Charles? He exists doesn’t he?
If he doesn’t Gordos not going to get the election result he is after.. So that’s alright then.
bugger off of course i exist.
and i vote tory
for christmas can you take mcmental back with you.
You seriously wouldn’t hear it anywhere else!
BTW – you are not the real Charles and I claim my 5 euros. Good try, though.
Don’t worry Charles. Just lie down.
I ahve already rung the doctor.
Sorry I was wrong earlier.
You are just a prat.
“Things will get better” – that’s probably true but the really big problem for Brown and Labour is that things are probably going to get worse before they get better and unfortunately there is small matter of an election in May/June 2010 which means ………….. that Labour are totally “fucked” !!!
Charles, you are a larf!
Things will only get better when Labour and Brown are gone…..beleive you me!
Charles E Hardwidge. A Pooter de nos jours.
Eeeeerm, he hasn’t won a third term yet…or have I been asleep?
Charles is in fact a CGI figure himself. You saw him in Grand Theft Politico – Westminster.
Look? Labour speak if ever I heard it, Charles. They all start a sentence with “Look” these days. They think it will make what they say easier to believe.
Ha!
…and when they say “Look” they actually mean “Listen” anyway, the c’unts.
Charles – it’s ……”the Labour Party has” (not have) – it’s singular – get it?
What an utter twat you are
When you are able to display the ability to engage in serious political debate we will
perhaps give consideration to taking issue with you. It is difficult to take issue with
people who do nothing but spew forth leftish garbage,purvey falsehoods – in general
bury their heads in the sand and expose their brains for all to see.
Thank you for yet another condescending post. One wonders why you bother posting if you think we are the intellectual equivalent of cockroaches ?
Surely your stance is 100% at odds with one of the main tenets of Zen? i.e. all sentient beings have Buddha-nature, the universal nature of inherent wisdom (Sanskrit prajna) and virtue ?
‘I’m not pandering to people who don’t have the stones to engage in serious political debate’ suggests you are not a true believer. The kind of politics practiced in this country must also be at odds with the teachings of Zen?
Other bloggers – sorry for the religious theme but he started it. I do not put up with half baked ideas lightly,especially those from a smug poster who thinks acknowledging that an opposing view exists is ‘pandering’

Without the likes of him this melody could be a one note samba.
More like ‘Drum & Base’ – (pun intended).

Lizzie,
Charles is Guidos alter ego to keep the postings up. Cynical? Moi?
Other than that I think he may be a 4th year Media studies student, the ghost of Tony Banks, who always liked a good laugh or as many of us expect a paid labourlist recruit.
I think the only chain he is yanking is his own. Like Gordon everyone hears what he says (or in this case sees what he writes) but nobody is listening .
Something positve about Nutter!
He has made Jacques Chirac and Villepin look honest and honourable in comparison to his horrible fikin self!
What bothers me, just a little, me is that there will soon be nobody minding the shop at all… Everyone off to their Russian mate’s yacht, or third home, or duck island, or rocking horse.
Thinks… mebbe no government is better than bad government…
Yes… that must be it…
How’s the swine flu sufferer Guido?…
Please don’t fret Anonymous – mandy and harriett are already fighting about who’s going to be in charge during the two weeks that gordon goes on holiday.
Neither of them can agree which should play with the croquet set at Chequers first
At least we can be fairly sure they’ll not be playing with each other….
Sorry.

Suspect you have a fistful of shares in it.
Well Dad has but I’m working on generous Inheritance Tax thresholds. So provided Dad doesn’t pop his clogs before summer 2010, I should be OK.
Suspect also, that YOU Guido write Charles E Hardwidge yourself… to keep the threads wholesomely spicy…
Should you be paying Guido advertising space?
Oooo bandersnatch went anonymous as well as a little off topic there for a minute…

Well .. he’s positively “Upton Park” i.e. two stops beyond “Barking” (if you’re going West) .. which we are ..
Everyones in a tizzy

Two more Labour MPs have announced that they will step down at the next election; Hilary Armstrong and Doug Henderson. Both claim it is to give younger candidates a chance.
In the case of Henderson, I respectfully suggest it is because he fears he will lose his seat to the Lib Dems. A majority of 7,023 will not be enough to guarantee the seat stays in Labour hands.
henderson did the right flippin thing.
obviously proves less government is better !!

I think Guido wants people to talk about SCOTCH footy teams. May I be the first to succomb to his wish to wind up the kilt wearers?
Not that I have any particular axe to grind; I have had quite a few Scottish friends over the years, and bloody good times we had!
Sadly it is rumoured that most Scottish teams are headed for the Patagonian

The threat of Jonah McDoom is being felt in Norwich. With only 20 days to go to the Norwich North by-election, the Labour party is uncertain whether to inflict a satanic visit on the constituency.
http://www.edp24.co.uk/content/edp24/news/elections/story.aspx?brand=EDPOnline&category=ElectionsParliament&tBrand=EDPOnline&tCategory=xDefault&itemid=NOED30%20Jun%202009%2021%3A38%3A21%3A307
The Labour Candidate, Chris Ostrowski, is a Product Manager for John Lewis PLC (yes, really) and a Christian Socialist. He was last seen deep in prayer in Norwich Cathedral.
The best Norwich by-election story so far concerns “Reverend” Robert West, the British Naughty Party’s candidate.
West claims to have been “ordained as an elder” of the Apostolic Church of Wales some years ago, but this is denied by the said Apostolic Church. Challenged to provide proof, West flashed an ordination certificate in front of a camera in a TV interview and has answered all further doubts with: “It’s been dealt with once and I don’t have to justify myself”.
Even our most imaginative bloggers could not have made this up.
Craig Murray has a good story about Tory lies about their candidate in Norwich.
He even wangled a confession from the candidiate, Chloe Smith, a careerist if ever there was one.
That’s what real blogging is about and much more imaginative than Geedo’s tired old same old same old smeary shite.
http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2009/07/a_small_norwich.html#comments
Wow this is really earth shattering.
Candidate has not said where she was born.
She should be locked up for that!!
The Tories were touting her as a local girl, through and through.
She’s not!
This has got them into trouble before, so a little less complacency would be advised.
Tory candidates aren’t born anywhere. They’re manufactured in a basement in Tory Central Office.
They just can’t trust the human ones to be nasty enough.
One has to laugh at the Spawn of Damian complaining about smears.
Equally one would have to laugh at Geedo complaining about McBride, wouldn’t one?

bashed troll, you are in fact steve expat the fucking tramp and I demand my five free copies of the big issue!
now fuck off you smelly homeless old tramp.
you silly old duffer.
How’d ya guess?
Ah the argument about whether Chloë Smith, the Conservative Candidate, is “local”. Tory literature claim that she is “a Norfolk girl through and through”, but her opponents have pointed out she was born in Colchester.
The Independent did a profile of her which establishes her Norfolk credentials. It revealed that she lives in the centre of Norwich, grew up in the town, and went to the local comprehensive school in Swaffham, where she is now a school governor.
Apparently her parents and grandparents also live locally. Her father was a furniture maker, her mother was a state schoolteacher, and one grandfather was a vicar. I believe one Tory activist was heard to say: “Thank God we have a candidate that doesn’t look or sound as if she has a moat or duck lake”.
I am not a gentleman so I would venture to say that Chloë is second only to our own nell as a true daughter of Norfolk.
For the true gentlemen of the blog I would add she is very presentable and coquettishly declares herself to be single.
She wasn’t born in Colchester.
She was born in Ashford, Kent, as she now admits herself after Craig forced it out of her.
The real issue here is that the Tories sought to give the impression that she was Norwich, through and through, and she isn’t.
It’s this kind of dishonesty and half truths that piss people off. People know that the Tories were doing it for advantage and now they’ll have lost that advantage and a bit more too.
Cochester is in fuckin Essex you nobhead. Feck off back to Moscow.
Ashford, Colchester, Norwich, Timbuktu … who cares.
She was organising Youth Forums in Norwich at the age of 16 for f*ck sake. Almost all her family live there; she went to school there; she herself lives there. OK she went to York University rather than the University of East Anglia like the Labour candidate, but I find that somewhat to her credit.
Tell me, why does the Duke of Norfolk lives in Sussex?
Obviously you have literacy problems.
She was born in Ashford which is in Kent. Colchester is in Essex. Norwich is in Norfolk.
These three conditions can exist independently, unlike you.
Now run along….
If a cow is born in a fuckin stable is it a horse? These fucking Labour chumps know fuck all. Fuck ‘em. Bring on da election NOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
The issue now is not where she was born, and wouldn’t have been were she upfront about it.
The issue is one of economy avec l’actualitie
Speak english you fuckin frog
Just because one is born in a stable it does not make you a horse.
Carlos, you’re the historian. Can you help me with this question.
Did the Poles fly Lancaster Plumbers out of Norfolk airfields during WWII?
Craig Murray “forced it out of her”? How undiplomatic! He wasn’t our man in Uzbekistan who had Ugandan discussions with a local Uzbek belly dancer and then left his wife and two children? I feel sorry for him: it must have been torture.
He wuz takin favors in return for visas from several wimmin. pisshead he waz
Only in the sense that, it being discussed, she had to come clean.
Her minders had been quite tetchy when questioned on the matter. They were clearly trying to hide it.
Craig’s real claim to fame is in showing just what a torturing scumbag the leader in Uzbekistan is and how western leaders cosied up to him.
You sound like someone who’d prefer the truth to remain hidden, or at least divert attention from it.
The torturing scumbag President Karimov is a socialist of course. He only tortures people who stray from the party line.
If Craig Murray’s personal life had been above reproach as Her Majesty’s representative in Uzbekistan, I would have been more inclined to support his campaign for an ethical foreign policy.
Having knocked around the Soviet Union and its successor states for some fifteen years, I know only too well why Her Majesty’s government might consider our ambassador having a liaison with a night-club belly-dancer to be a security risk. Think Profumo.
That said it is quite possible that Mr Murray’s “affaire du coeur” was entirely untainted by such risks. If that is the case then I suggest he lives the rest of his life, like Profumo, in contented bliss out of the public’s eye.
Thank you Gordon for your wise and courageous contribution.
What has his personal life got to do with an ethical foreign policy?
Or are you simply spinning bizarrely out to space?
Bernie you know it was more than one. I’ve mates in Tashkent and its a small expatriate community, many who have local girlfriends who had to get visas to visit UK.
Carlos, are you Gordon Brown? Do you really think that personal ethics can be “ring-fenced” from public ethics? Isn’t it just that attitude that has got Parliament into the sorry state it is in now?
Efical foreign policy???????
Like the JUST war in Iraq where thousands of innocent Iraqis are dead thanks to NuLabors poodle policy of lickin Bush’s bum.
Fuckin Liebore scumbag.
Uzbek Slapper, you understand the need for translators. Expensive, but wholly and necessary incurred for a corporate purpose.
…incurred at Her Majesty’s Pleasure. Yup I do. I just wish he’d kicked the dogs out of the office when we was doing er…dictation.
Listen up turkey man. You’re off your trolly!
You can support an ethical foreign policy or not support it. His personal ethics have nothing to do with it, nor has he.
Anyway, you’ve diverted enough.
The issue here is Tory lies and the Norwich by-election.
The issue is Broon’s Turkey Army. One in five on the governent payroll and the good people of Norwich are sicktodeathofit.
Landslide to the local Tory lass.
If you are sacked as an Ambassador for porking a local night club dancer, then you are not likely to be taken as seriously you should be when you attack your former employer for pursuing an unethical foreign policy.
This does not mean I support torture nor that I disagree with the criticisms made by Craig Murray.
With regard to Chloë Smith, there was no lie. On the evidence I have quoted it is fair to claim that she is a “Norfolk girl through and through”. She did not disclose that she was born in Ashford, Kent. She has now done so.
Spot on Mr Maffews! I think you’ll find “Carlos Marcos” can’t answer that as his backup research team have mutinineed and gone down the pub.
“It’s this kind of dishonesty and half truths that piss people off”
No Carlos is not half truths its downright lies (and murder) and deception that really piss people off. Now where shall we start?
WMD, Dr Kelly, Lisbon, Boom & Bust, It all started in America, Cap ex spending, British jobs Mcbride & Draper’s reg flag and…. It’s all Mrs Thatchers fault.
Fuck off. You support the most mendacious adminstration this country has ever known. An administation that in 11 years after inheriting our carefully stashed oil wealth had bought us to our knees in terms of our standing in the world, spread misery and control freakery to no end and bankrupted the nations finances and many of its citizens.
The Tories supported the Iraq war, and they support smearing people. They’ve been doing that since Pitt the youngster.
The responsibility for the financial crisis to down to the likes of the rats in Canary Wharf.
And the Tories have been trying to mislead the people of Norwich North by claiming their candidate is “Norwich through and through” when she was born elsewhere, something they’ve tried to conceal. Typically the Tories are taking the people of Norwich North for fools.
I mean, why would they conceal it if they’d nothing to hide, eh.
Anyway, I’m sure Mr Crick will be on the case in due course, now that we know precisely why previous questions on the matter were being tetchily fobbed off.
She also a phreakin political careerist which is about the last thing anyone needs, and has a fondness for PRspeak, which does not augur well.
What has his personal life got to do with an ethical foreign policy?
Because it might be nice if he practised what he preached. Ethics at home and abroad, and all that…
The issue of an ethical foreign policy exists independently of Craig Murray.
You either support it or you don’t. It’s nothing to do with him.
Anyway, it was Robin Cook who was pushing for an ethical foreign policy.
I suspect that Mr Murray was removed because his views on Uzbekistan were becoming uncomfortable for the govt, and the rest was the typical smears you get in these circumstances.
Personally I wouldn’t take too doctrinaire an approach to the issue of an ethical foreign policy. You often just have to work with what you’ve got and make compromises. That’s the way of the world.
But I would never stoop so low as to pretend I was a local, through and through, when I was just an apparatchik parachuted in or blown in for the purpose of a by-election.
Absolutely disgraceful.
I trust the good people of Norwich North will display their distain for such practices in no uncertain terms.
The Tories supported the Iraq war,
AHA!!!!!!!!!!! Here we go again …. the Iraq War is Thatcher’s fault. Nothing to do with Blair and his one-eyed sidekick Muttley Brown. She must have read the “sexed-up” briefing and reached for the red button.
Craig still owes me fifty dollars and taxi fare money. It’s all very well him going around “exposing” English girls but I am owed!
..apparatchik parachuted in or blown in for the purpose of a by-election.
??????? Hang on. She went to school here. She’s lived here for years you lying toerag.
They’re a clannish lot in North Norfolk. If you’re not born there, you’re a blow-in.
Even the local Tories know that, hence the charade.
But don’t worry too much, at least she’s not from Ipswich.
Mr Kelly.
I didn’t say Thatcher started the Iraq war. I said the Tories supported it, and they did.
Dunno why you’re getting all squeamish about it anyway. The Tories used to love wars. Start them at the drop of a hat , they would.
It’s the Sun wot won it.
They were criminally misled by that dossier faked by Campbell and Blair as were most of the population. No wonder the inquiry will not be public. But the voters are not happy. Oh no sir you NuLabia liars will pay the price.
Already in the local elections, next in Norwich and then in 11 months time.
If I were you pal I’d defect to another party if anyone would have you.
The politics of envy and class war has no place in the 21st century especially when it is being waged by a bunch of corrupt public school educated socialist Hoons.
Carlos Marcos you are very flippant about war. I don’t think the Tories have started any illegal wars to my knowledge and certainly not as many as NuLabor.
Blair and Brown should have been building hospitals not bombing innocent women and children.
Most people I’ve talked to in Noriwch will be voting Tory. Go to bed son there’s nothing you can do about that with your silly smears.
The inquiry will be in public, or the vast majority of it.
Clearly you don’t keep up with what’s going on in politics.
There were many in the Labour party and movement who were against the war, like me.
The Tories were in favour of the war because they’re Tories and they like wars. That’s the norm for Tories.
It was mostly those in the Labour movement who organised against it.
People like me think that Tony is a Tory, and we didn’t like him at all. He was the enemy within in many ways.
But that doesn’t mean I’d want anyone to vote for the Tory party; a whole party of Tonys. That would be the stupidest thing of all.
Norwich Canary.
Look up Suez crisis.
Suez Crisis? Christ man that was before the Boer War.
I tell ee what I did look up though. The Labour candidate for this ere by-election. He’s not bliddy local at all. Ostrowski if you please??! I can hardly pronounce the word.
Is someone having a laugh? Whats that then? A fucking Polish plumber! We likes our local folk here and we don’t take kindly to migrant fruit pickers getting uppity and thinking they can take our MP jobs an all. So I think the local lass Chloe will get a very sizeable majority indeed. She’s even more popular than our Delia.
All the Nulab scabs are stabbing Tony in the back now he’s gone. They’re all Brownites now – were all along. yeah right.
“The inquiry will be in public, or the vast majority of it.”!
So which bits won’t be made public? The embarrasssing bits concerning Blair, Cambell and Brown I bet. how is that a full public enquiry? releasing selective bits. theyr takein the piss
I see you have slipped back in after a couple of hours. Although it’s hard to believe, your arguments are even more incoherent than earlier. Have you been down the boozer?
Fizzy lager and nose candy.
Norwich Canary – Obviously history ain’t a strong suit of yours, nearly as bad as your local knowledge.
Funny the way you didn’t even know the name of the Labour candidate. For your information, Poles are not just a recent phenomenon. Many came to this country during WW II and fought proudly and valiantly in the RAF against the Nazis, from airfields in Norfolk. Ignorance can be a sorry thing, but you’re a Tory and don’t know any better, so I’ll forgive you on this occasion.
The Labour candidate hasn’t been dishonest, but the Tory has sought to conceal her place of birth..That’s the distinction.
Sceptical voter – The chap in charge of the inquiry will decide what’s in public and what’s in private. He’s an independent man and has already shown that he’s doing his own thing independent of govt wishes. Look it up if you’re still sceptical.
Chris Ostrowski was a candidate in the European Parliamentary elections in June. He was 7th on the Labour List for the East Region. He gave his address as:
Chris Ostrowski
7 Fore Street

Suffolk

Carlos Marcos said:
“They’re a clannish lot in North Norfolk. If you’re not born there, you’re a blow-in.
[...]
But don’t worry too much, at least she’s not from Ipswich.”
Whoops!
Carlos, you’re the historian. Can you help me with this question.
Did the Poles fly Lancaster Plumbers out of Norfolk airfields during WWII?
It’s unfortunate, but sadly not surprising, the way the Tory mentality is to denigrate those Poles who fought alongside us in WWII by recourse to images of migrant fruit pickers and canners in Lynn.
You truly are the nasty party, and even after so long a time out of power have still not learned your lesson.
I have total faith in the good people of Norwich North to send you the message you so deserve.
Denigrating migrant fruit pickers and canners?
The Polish State, ruined by Soviet communism for 50 years, is unable to provide its citizens with the safety net of UK style welfare benefits. So Polish workers compensate by travelling to any place where there is work, taking whatever work is available at competitive labour prices, living in low cost accommodation at minimal cost and saving a large proportion of their earnings.
And you suggest Tories are denigrating the Poles?
Really?
The point I’m making is that whatever your view of recent Polish migrants, those Polish airmen who fought in the RAF out of Norfolk and other airbases are our comrades in arms. There’s a very deep affection between us.
Many of them settled here.
You’re only embarrassing the Tory party by making slight upon them.
In terms of recent Polish migration, they embarrass us with their civility, intelligence and work ethic.
These are the facts. You need to embrace and learn from them.
We’ll never vote for a Polish Tractor Boy.
Game, set, and match, TO………… Carlos Marcos !!!!!!
You didn’t have to drag Nell into this. Be a tad more gentlemanly….
Have I put a spanner in the works?
yeh mate I can feel me nuts tightenin
you haven’t got any balls.
you’re a c’unt!
really? So what have you just bin munchin for the last twenty minutes monkey man???!!! Hairy gobstoppers? hahahahahahaha
I’ve just bashed your fucking brains out.
you are just a dimwitted oaf.
thick as thieves wins again!
“Have I put a spanner in the works?”
Not so strange that you mention the word spanner, and thick as thieves turns up.
tat, if that’s winning then what does it look like when you lose? From where I’m sitting it looks as if you’ve been shafted good and proper like IMHO. Perhaps you’re not really local and don’t understand the rules?
fuck off you spanish communist.
I do not engage with communists.
company policy.
Fuck off yourself you Tory twat.
I am independent you fucking communist.
so your slip means you are either a new labour war criminal, a libdem EU stooge or a british nazi party member.
which one is it carlos?
I bet you haven’t got the balls to reply.
fuck off commie.
where did carlos the communist go?
what a fucking coward, eh?
Thank you Engineer for your support.
Is it being suggested that I have no Norfolk credentials?!
My granma lived in South Creake and died in Heathersett. My Gt Gt Grandparents came from Feltwell. My Aunt kept a Post Office in Methwold
We owned a house in Corpusty.
However it doesn’t matter whether a potential MP is born and bred in a place they are proposing to represent. What matters is are they going to do a good job for their constituents AT A MINIMUM COST TO THE TAXPAYER?
Make sure you ask them that when they knock on your door.
nell, nothing of the sort has been suggested. You have been held up as the benchmark and acme of Norfolkness, by which all others should be compared.
You may be interested to know that Chloë Smith, the “Kentish maid” and Conservative Candidate in the Norwich North by-election, has published a pledge on expenses. It has clearly been drafted in the Tory HQ dungeon but it reads well none the less.
http://conservativehome.blogs.com/goldlist/2009/07/david-cameron-direct-mails-every-norwich-north-voter.html
She’s got my vote. What have Labour put up? Another jock I’ll bet.
Pity she didn’t put a pledge to be honest about where she was born.
Fallen at the first hurdle.
You’d think the Tories would have learned something about openess and transperancy, but sadly no.
The last thing we need is new bullshitting MPs, taking on teh bad habits of their elders.
The only way out of this mess of her own creation is to make an abject public apology to the good people of Norwich North for having mislead them so.
I hope that even at this late stage she’ll do the decent thing.
You’ve never been to East Anglia have you? Probably some Northern monkey who lives in a Shoreditch and works for the local authority.
Have you put money on the outcome?
I thought not! LOL
Course I have.
It’s like Holland, without the drugs and sex, and a lot of the locals don’t know where they come from.
Is Holland full of Poles?
Keep her in the igloo.
Very few igloos in Norfolk, old chap.
To hold their place of birth against someone standing as an election candidate is as racist as it is possible to get.
Typical Labour trick, say one thing and do the opposite.
What matters is the candidate’s knowledge and experience of a constituency and its people, and their degree of integration into its daily life.
Place of birth, like skin colour and sexuality are irrelevant.
And so we see the sands of time leaving their mark on the political landscape once again. Could this be the dawn of a new era, or rather another chapter in a lengthy tome? Churchill said that there is nothing wrong with change as long as it is in the right direction. For me, the only change I see is that of Gordon Brown and his new visionary type of politics. The Government has a record to be proud of, and will ride out the current events. The next election is a long way off!
Please PLEASE nobody but I respond to this email! If you scratch an itch it turns into a scab.
Charles,
What are you on? I only ask so that I can avoid it.
He’s talking about a ‘new visionary type of politics’. I think he has Peyote and is eating it like olives. This will make him:
a) Very sick indeed.
b) Hallucinate and
c) Talk bollocks.
This consultation has been provided on a pro bono basis in partnership with Ruff Press – publishers of ‘From Barking to Berkeleh and Back’.
:-D
In that case, shouldn’t it have been on a pro Bonio basis?
The Great Lump of Misery may sympathise with Raith Rovers because their name is an angram of “Hi, VAT errors!”
Excellent, Sir Bill. Can you pop round to finish my Telegraph crossword for me?
Labour are jinxed now, whatever they do. Even with Brown out of the way, they will be finished as a political force after the next election, maybe for a generation.
You can’t blame Brown for everything, it has been a team effort and Labour have made rather a mess of things, haven’t they?
There’s a story of a Samurai who went after the assassin of his master. Eventually, he found him. On raising his sword, the assassin spat in his face. The Samurai put down his sword and walked away. The reason? To strike a blow in anger was not honourable. Simply, anger clouds the mind and misdirects our action. Better to say nothing than be improper. Labour understand this.
Labour understands improper behaviour very well. Just look at their expenses claims.
Tell that to the marines – and all the people who have had their pensions destroyed. You are a creature in retreat, Charles!
I think you need to tell gordon that – you could save us taxpayers lots of money if you could stop him hurling nokias and printers when he’s having a paddy!
Charles, are you trying to tell us that Gordon will walk away if someone spits at him?
Form an orderly queue, folks…..
Labour are war criminals
It was the ‘elf and safety. Went off to get a baby wipe and a pair of latex gloves
That Samurai sounds like a right twat.
Yeah – ask Prezza about the egg-thrower.
Prezza wuz only angry cuz the egg thrower missed his cakehole.
Hahahahahaha…
Your last paragraph made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking at people, communities and organisations, and nations states, we see the headline and body text, or the main campaign versus the million small details. While the big headline grabs attention the small details on the edge of conscious perception help shape communication, influencing our response, character development, and people around us in turn. As headlines screamed panic, I noticed how the report underneath said how Gordon Brown said everything will be fine. Indeed, it will be, but I can’t help wondering how much influence the almost fatherly Sergeant-Major tone of Gordon Brown has contributed to this.
In the same way many people consider Ieyasu Tokugawa is the father of Japan, looking at reports of the recent floods and how people have rediscovered their own sense of determination and solidarity in the face of danger, I can’t help wondering if Gordon Brown’s policies and character will form a similar and equally long-lived foundation. Other precedent exists in the form of George Washington, Gaius Julius Caesar, and Qin Shi Huang. Indeed, it could be said that Gordon Brown is the father of a reinvigorated modern treasury.
Often, we walk around with our eyes shut, not noticing what’s going on around us. Thinking back, my brother took a supporting role in the miners strike and witnessed first hand the snatch squads of the police in operation. A friend took part in the journalists strike at a Maxwell property where food baskets were carried up on ropes to the striking workers. I’ve had my own brushes with history but nothing important or worth boasting about. Looking back to the times of ancient China, with its myths of sages who could split mountains and part seas, and the period around the time of Rome’s formation when the world was choked with greats, I wonder how today will be viewed in a 1000 years time.
If you wish to be immortal, first, you must live a life worth living.
– Chinese proverb.
Here’s a scottish proverb. Fuck off or you’re gonna get a doing ya knob.
Sorry Charles, that’s just too long, considering your usual piffle. You have just wasted your time, I’m not even ploughing through it.
You’ve just demonstrated how clouded your mind really is.
Typical Tory.
Charles is a very insightful man indeed.
Where’s the 3rd Pride stooge?
Waiting to be told what to say.
You’re slipping. You’ve missed out: homophobic and racist, with your mantra of left-wing befuddled tripe. I’m none of the last sentence, though you would hurl it at me if your brain was operating.
What makes you think I’m a tory, you biased bag of waste?
ZZZZZZZZZZ.
We had a life worth living up until this year, when I was made redundant. I blame Gordon for all this. He should have been a much more prudent Chancellor.
He was a good flipping MP
Is life worth living? If we are in good health, it certainly
is. In a certain sense, even to ask such a question implies
that we are not at our best. It is the sick, mentally as well as
physically, who question the value of life. We cannot ap-
preciate health too highly. Our philosophy of life is more
profoundly affected by the condition of our body than we have
any idea. If I were composing a new set of beatitudes, one
of them would be in exaltation of health :
Blessed are they that have health, for they shall take
pleasure in life.
Yeah, whatever
Charles is green. Well, he recycles his posts…

Luckily, that prat Charlerois Hardon-Tosspot has little chance of ever getting her council wages paid when Cameron wins, because she is unhinged, a bit stupid (possibly a head case – not her fault) but seriously under the cosh of her betters.
Perhaps a course (paid by her carers) in communication with nice people, would be an alternative to just shoving her back in a hole with other saddos.
What an arsehole! and I don’t normally talk to old women like this…
Is it just me that wants to batter that nonce Hardwidge to a bloody pulp?
No. I’ve felt my homicidal tendancies towards Charles rising to the surface for some months now.
Ever heard to proverb of the man in a coat and the sun and the wind. The sun wins.
Chun Ko Sim says – First – join the queue !
16 un-named Labour MP’s have acccused the HoL vetting panel of a disgraceful and spiteful slur on Michael Martin’s nomination to the Lords because the panel said his nomination “will diminish not enhance” the HoL. (Wonder what they’ve said about Al*n Suga*r’s nomination ?!)
Rather pointedly a LibDem Treasury spokesman said “Michael Martin should not be handed a P45 in an ermine envelope.”
Sorry but I thought he was a ‘working class’ man who despised the trappings of power. A man after gordon’s own heart!!!
( Bill for wallpaper at £600 per roll – oh well perhaps not!!)
If the cap fits……
Bloody champagne socialists, the lot of ‘em.
Nothing wrong with Champagne. Except our chocolate currency has caused prices to rocket this year. Drop a nice Scottish Ava strawberry in your glass, and think ” the working class can kiss my ass” as you see the crimson berry to the bottom of your glass…. ah summer, season usually of rain and Wimbledon hopes dashed. Still, the sun’s out, mais plus ca change.
Can’t remember the last time I had champagne, but thanks for the tip.
Over-rated, in my (admittedly limited) experience. Sooner have a Pimm’s, or a pint of Marston’s Pedigree.
A nice glass of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.

I AM TOP BOY AND YOU TORY TROLLS ARE SCUM.
I’M THE FUCKING DADDY NOW YOU SCUM I RUN THIS FUCKING SHOW.
WISE UP WANKERS!
You are TOP BOY. laverly boy in lipstick and pastel trousers. Hur hur!
top boy was an expression you used last night together with your very bad language – you are very much like gordon – limited language and repetitive phrases.
I think you need to tell mandy that he needs to be more imaginative and give you more phrases to learn by rote.
You also need to consult derek so that you can develop a more positive attitude that will help you to ditch your negative tendencies.
Thich as thich needs a good PsychoTheRapist.
nell,
if that is the case why don’t you rise above my juvenile vulgarity and ignore me.
the truth is you can’t get enough of it can you?
you kinky fucking bitch.
and I see the brain damaged bashed troll is still staggering around the place making a c’unt of himself.
someone call the troll ambulance for fucks sake before the rest of his brains slip out over the floor. someone might slip on them and hurt themselves.
that is a fucking nasty wound you have bashed troll, very fucking nasty indeed.
I don’t think you are going to make it.
good.
I’m taking off my belt now thich as thich. If yer lucky I might just give you a leatherin
So thick as thieves is a wife beater and a woman hitter? And hates the dsiabled.
Jeez wot a nasty git.
Must have been severely beaten as a child.
Anyways I hope he was.
Troll Basher, I’ve never seen thick as thieves so eager for someones knob as he is for yours.
Mind how you go, that’s all I’m saying.
What he needs is a smack round the ear with a wet dishcloth!!!!
You mean, “methinks he doth protest too much”! aye. I like my biches to put up a little fight.
nell, I’ve tried that. Woh he likes actually is being slapped round the back of the legs with a bunch of wet celery.
er nell, I think you would be most unwise to attempt that.
for if you did then I would take that wet dishcloth from you and I would use it to spank your arse until it was red raw.
you have been warned.
don’t cross the line nell.
No mention of the celery I see. LOL
bashed troll,
we have established that you are a woman.
and the reader will start to think you are a bit of a slut if you don’t behave yourself.
I have decided, because of your disgraceful and offencive behaviour towards me that it will not be the dish cloth for you.
I think you warrant a larger, thicker, harder implement to be spanked with.
now you will have to take your turns ladies.
and I will need to drink lots of liquids.
this could be quite a long night.
tat, you are the SLUT. A dirty bich slut who wears lipstick and Bruno hotpants.
This is true for I have viewed it with my own eyes where the nonce TAT was Category 1*
*Registered Sex Offenders – sexual offenders required to comply with the notification requirements (often referred to as registration) set out in the Sexual Offences Act 2003
you are not helping your case, bashed troll.
you are merely adding to the number of lashings you will receive.
I think you are doing it on purpose because you are a kinky bitch who likes having her arse spanked hard.
innit.
Only one way to deal with bullies and its bin dealt.
Work done for the night I fink :)))) But…
I’ll be back.
Asta la vista, baby!
Er..dat goes for me as well.
yeah fuck off retard.
Come on then make me you oik!
make me?
oh gawd, you are another woman tory troll posting as a man.
note to tory hq: hiring woman trolls is fair enough, but making them pretend they are men when they post is just creepy.
you creepy fucking bastards.
Where’s your missus tonight TAT?? out sucking white cock for rent money.
How much she charge?
Five quid and a swig of WKD
I would really like to hear a positive story about Brown. Something like a terminal disease would go down quite well.
Electoratitis? Apparently, he only has about 11 months….
He’s positively eligable to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
I actually like Charles Hardwidge.
I agree, he’s the only one other than me and the _Prides that has a brain
you share the same one you tossers
All of the Nu labour cancer should be shot, just like the cows in 2001.
I wil not forget Blair and Broon you bastards.
Master Baiter? Disaster Baiter, more like! You are making no impression at all here. Your paymasters are getting a zero percent rise on their investment. One would almost think they are as inept as Nulabour.
Oh wait…
Fuck off Fuckwidge.
Me too, I like to imagine him beaten to a bloody pulp with prints of his tolling posts shoved up his arse.
Did somebody/anybody mention Raith Rovers?
In dispatches.
A group of Labour MPs – led by Frank Field and Greg Pope – are threatening to block this year’s entire Budget in a vote in the Commons on Tuesday.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8134646.stm
FUCKIN AY, SHOVE THAT UP UR JAPS EYE HARDWIDGE
Only the Tories and Frank Field care about low income hard working families. How about that then?
Get a grip.
The core of Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s agenda is positive, sociable, and long-term. It routes around the cluttered and disjointed approach of Britain, and aims for something that doesn’t just emulate but transcends the lessons from abroad. Does anyone get it?
My main influences are America and Japan. I look to America for confidence and flexibility, and Japan for teamwork and the long-term. The Americans tend to explain more and the Japanese tend to formalise more. Britain tends to fiddle as it goes along.
Long term? The idiot has only got 11 months left.
They’ve had 12 years to un-clutter and re-joint Britain.
As for the lessons from abroad, I thought Gordon was the saviour of Europe. How things change.
Britaion fiddling as it goes along is right.
For once, I agree with you Charles.
“Britain tends to fiddle as it goes along.”
With a name like Hardwidge I’d be careful what you say on this blog.
Just sayin’.
In truth Brown’s short-term tactical application is soundly based by invariably wrong – his understanding of strategy appears non-existent whilst operationally – the man is an incompetent liar with ever more obvious signs of manic depression
I really worry about Gordon
Yeah, what’s the cυnt gonna do when he’s really cornered?
If you corner a rat it will attack you. Best bash it with a stick.
I the upholder of all that is Right, Presbyterian Son of the Manse will consult my moral compass: As to the poorest members of our society, the lowest income earners the decision is, wait for it, wait for it, the arrow is pointing to… Fuck ‘Em.
There was a news report on the BT-Yahoo web-page this morning saying that bankruptcies among pensioners has risen by 164% in the last five years.
Well done, Gordoom. Not.
Is this the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning, ….. whatever? Do I need to get excited, or will it all come to nothing? Good old Frank – it takes us oldies to get something going!
Get stuck in Gran and give them a good handbagging.
Churchill and Frank Field – the only decent, CLEAN,caring, politicians.
Shame that Churchill is dead!
I would certainly question the veracity of Mr Field – look at his history if you wanna know
Thank you Damian that’s absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!
arf, arf….
Frank Field isn’t perfect either.

For all those that don’t pay the bbc licence (quite right to) get a load of this one!!
Let’s just make the licence fee a tax:
BBC boss says cost of watching TV might be put on council bill.
Mark Thompson’s comments have been taken as an admission that the growing use of new technology to watch programmes will make the licence fee obsolete.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1197442/The-licence-fee-admits-BBC-boss-Cost-watching-TV-council-tax-bill.html
Let the Beeb join the ranks of the other TV stations who have to rely on advertising to survive.
There’s really not that much we watch on BBC any more – certainly not worth our license fee.
Agree with you Hoof – I posed a question on a previous thread asking anyone to suggest good things about the Beeb. There where very few suggestions. Definately notworth £142-50 per annum.
The BBC has to be exposed to market forces.
Finding a new way of ripping off tax payers to enable grossly overpaid presenters to produce crap that nobody watches does not do that.
The other huge benefit of getting rid of compulsory payments from viewers is that it severs the link between Government and BBC, thus enabling it to be truly independent.
The BBC does not apparently realise that its domestic reporting has become a global joke with no pretence of impartiality. If we want a laugh, Nick Robinson is funnier than any of the comedians.
Nobody respects the BBC’s opinion any more. Their reputation has been thrown away in return for huge salaries and pensions for the people at the top.
We should retain just a few public service channels on TV and stations on Radio.
In true Conservative spirit, throw the contract for public service broadcasting open to public tender, Using the BBC Charter (which the BBC has so conclusively traduced), as a contract template.
Lowest tender wins; payment out of general taxation, five year term.
If the Prime Minister is anything like me he’s probably relishing the sense of purpose and putting down some of the wannabes. The Tory tactics have been to lower the tone and pepper him with a 1001 derogatory comments. This created a wall of black propaganda that rose to dominate folks minds but the Prime Minister is regaining the initiative.
You can see similar games played out in here over the past few days. People are confident when they have the upper hand and mob behind them but when faced with a few realities or caught on their own they’re not so hard.
Some people might not get this but the Prime Minister is probably more concerned about the ‘vision thing’ and would prefer a more consensual approach in politics, but some folks can’t leave the crack alone.
Personally, I’d recommend he has some business and social policies lined up as a follow through. If folks are focused and have a chance to contribute that should help reform the current atmosphere to something more civilised.
The Tories had their chance but Cameron blew it. So, I expect the Prime Minister will make it happen. The only choice the Tories have is to go out standing up or on the knees. The rest is wind.
All hail the King, baby!
The tories don’t have to pepper Gordon with 1001 derogatory comments, Charles.
His own Cabinet and backbenchers have managed that really well.
If the Prime Minister is anything like me. If the Prime Minister was anything like me I’d do the “right thing” and shoot myself.
the 10p debacle continues to erase all most of what Charles pretends to be true
Fuck off you interminable bore. Go troll on some other blog with your non witty shite. It wasn’t particularly amusing the first time round. It certainly isn’t any more you cretinous fuckwit.
Fuck off.
Be not too hard on Charles for as Ts’ai Ken T’an says, “Water which is too pure has no fish”.
Once a liar always a liar.
Specifics please. I am tired of the committee of posters with ‘brains’ making vague assertions and suggesting they are reality.
‘Some people might not get this but the Prime Minister is probably more concerned about the ‘vision thing’ and would prefer a more consensual approach in politics, but some folks can’t leave the crack alone’
Strange- he did not follow a consensual approach in Opposition or the 2001/2005 election campaigns. He certainly could not leave the crack alone!
‘Some people’ equals most of the voters judging by recent election results.
You cannot know what he is ‘probably’ concerned about -it is your opinion. Others have very different views. Why should their opinions be wrong and yours right? Just because people do not subscribe to your view of the world does not make them idiots. You could be wrong but arrogance prevents you accepting the possibility.
‘Personally, I’d recommend he has some business and social policies lined up as a follow through’
Hardly cutting edge thinking is it? Where are they? Gordon’s had two years to think of some.
CH: “some folks can’t leave the crack alone”
Exactly, that’s why Gordon had to marry Sarah.

As usual, I had been looking forward to a merry old time, spookily tagging along with the quick at the annual Gay Pride march today, and I’m delighted to say that, in a change from the usual order of things, something rather unusual happened.
I found myself strangely attracted to Mrs Brown, and thereafter the march itself became rather tiresome.
Although celestial metaphysical rules forbad me from acting on my carnal impulses, a greater power intervened and guided me to a pub whereupon I found huge comfort in a gallon or so of Guinness and a thrashing win for the Lions.
(In the pub, I chanced upon Damian McBride, from whom I was very relieved to learn that Mr Brown has no plans to mention Harlequins publicly at any point in the next parliament).
Good game – what?
The makers of the Lions’ shirts should be proud of themselves

I think you can still listen on R7. Sit back, put your lallies up on the pouffe (batts off first mind) and ‘ave a larf.
“if the Prime Minister is anything like me” , Charles he is very much like you – you both spout nonsense.
Brown is a proven LIAR so tell me Charles why should we trust him?
I’ve found the Zen model helps illuminate a lot of these things: good form and attitude, or order and harmony, are fundamentals that everything else is built on. Folks often confuse goals, process, and outcomes, and a bit more understanding of that can help get a bit more clarity. The rest is really just a matter of calm and patience. It’s doable.
When people let go, they take a step back and what was previously a big mountain becomes a small pebble, and what was once tightly seized upon just becomes another thing to throw away. Our certainty and emotions can get in the way, hence the Zen phrase: “Zen mind, beginner’s mind.”
This may be true but what say you to this:
The purpose of a fishtrap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten.
The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten.
The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten.
Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.
Apart from that, it’s been a very poor week for Brown and Labour
Liberal Democrat MP a hypocrite, Miliband marginalised himself and Royal Mail are cross. Great week for Labour
As Michael is laid to rest
I will be showing my respects by laying a wreath at the Centotapph and then doing the Loon walk
Should I yet again piss my pants in pubic it will of course be the Loo walk
Peter,can I say that?
As I commented at the beginning of this crisis, calm was a top priority. Now, I believe, the worst of the shock is over people might be in a better position to “let go”, so focus can swivel to being creative and sociable which will help generate solutions and consensus. Success will naturally flow in its own time, and in its own way. “There are no problems, only undiscovered opportunities”.
you are on sparkling form!

The truth is that real spending plans will have to be cut whoever is elected. We have already set out some specific cuts a Conservative Government would make – like ID cards, burgeoning quangos, and the cost of politics. And we have set out whole areas we will radically reform to get better value for money – like education and welfare. We know that if you talk honestly to people about the spending decisions that
need to be taken, they will respect you.
They haven’t said much about their policies until recently, and what they have said has been spin and lies.
You talk of honesty. This government wouldn’t recognise it if it slapped them all in the face.
cmon naw your avin a larf arnt you.
I think Zen Buddhism gives a very simple explanation of the brilliance of Gordon Brown’s mind in the following story from Zen Mondo:
A monk asked Chao-chou, “I have just entered the monastery: please give me some guidance.”
Chao-chou said, “Have you eaten your rice gruel?”
The monk said,”Yes, I’ve eaten.”
Chao-chou said, “Then go wash your bowl.”
The monk said,”My bowel?”
Chao-chou said, “No clothears, go wash your bowl.”
The monk said,”Where is the dishwasher?”
Chao-chou said, “We don’t have one.”
Yes, yes. We can all quote from BuddhaOnline.com but Gordon Brown has chosen the true enlightened path to a true and happy and prosperous New Britain. He has this to say:
“Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace.It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.
That’s a take. Get it on bloody Youtube pronto!”
What about the one with the Zen Master and the tea cup. Where he kept filling it till it overflowed.
Or the Irishman who saved a Leprechaun’s life whereupon the little person granted him two wishes.
Paddy said, “Oh for de fust Oi could murder a point of Guinness.”
And ker-puff a golden tankard appeared in the Irishman’s hand and it was full to the brim with cool Guinness.
Paddy sank the drink in one and to his amazement the tankard magically refilled itself.
The Leprechaun explained that this was a magic tankard and would forever be filled with cool Guinness. No matter how many times it was drunk from it would always immediately refill itself.
Paddy was aghast and said, “Dat’s amazing.”
The Leprechaun asked Paddy what he wanted for his second wish. he could have anything his heart desired.
Paddy said. “I’d loik another one of dese Guinness tankards!”
What about a punch line? wun hung lo!
You have much to learn Gwasshopper
We should have the confidence to tell the public the truth – that Britain faces a debt crisis. Our national credit rating is under threat. Every international institution agrees that we now need to clear up the mess. Even members of the Cabinet agree, and the Chancellor outlined future cuts in the Budget. But Gordon Brown refuses to face up to what has gone wrong, and what everyone else agrees must be done.
I think it is time to have the bloke sectioned.
Anyone else agree?
In Elizabethan times people like this were sectioned, euphemism for hung, drawn and quartered, but stay the executioners hand, we live in more civilised age (debatable). Just go GORGON.
I think I like the Elizabethan idea. C’mon Philip give Liz a poke in the ribs!
You may recall that . at PMQs – either last week or the week before, GB agreed with a Tory backbencher. The point he agreed to was that MPs with serious mental health problems should not have to resign their jobs (I forget the exact wording). Sectioning would therefore probably achieve little other than to allow the First Lord to take over as Lord Protector.
Lord Protector, First Lord of the… and…, Lord Mandleson of Foy and….
Lordy, lordy, lord. Surely the College of Heralds ought to limit concatenation of titles at some point in the interests of decency and decorum, lest the whole system of honours be brought into disrepute.
Maybe that’s Mandy’s entire point: very NuLab, very Project.
So Alan Johnson didn’t consult The Gorgon regarding the U’ish turn on ID cards [according to Telegraph] If that is the case then things are simmering nicely.
Perhaps the doctors have denied all access?

Breaking news fron the sunday Telegraph
Alan Johnson opens damaging new rift with Prime Minister Gordon Brown
A damaging new rift has opened up between Gordon Brown and Alan Johnson after it emerged that the Home Secretary tore up a key government policy without consulting Downing Street.
Oh dear! Is anyone in control here?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/5742745/Alan-Johnson-opens-damaging-new-rift-with-Prime-Minister-Gordon-Brown.html
More chaos in government.
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
Perhaps a cunning stunt of some sort. God knows what though.
A stunning what?
The humans in the Labour Party are probing for weaknesses.
Just a thought….
Harriett rushed to support the residents of Lakonel House Camberwell after their devastating fire! Why?? She’s not normally so compassionate.
Residents are claiming that the flats were a death trap and in need of demolition or major modernisation.
Were these flats earmarked for some of that £630million that gordon has recently axed from the Communities budget to build his 30,000 new homes??!!
I suspect this is exactly the case and that’s why Harman was there!!!
Oh Dear Gordon – wrong decision again !!!
Apparently Harriet is the local MP – so she had some business to squark on.
Both she and Boris Johnson (in his capacity as Mayor) gave brief interviews on the PM prog. Johnson was measured and proportionate, and seemed to grasp the situation and it’s implications. Harriet just squarked, without much apparent knowledge.
It seems that the flats where refurbished fairly recently, but had only one main entrance located in the middle of the block. Anybody at the end of the block thus had their emergency exit route blocked should a fire occur between them and the main entrance. Easy in retrospect of course, but maybe a design failing?
She had to be seen to be there – as the caring MP of the people.
I do wonder if she had any influence on the refurb of the flats. She did mention the other block, which is exactly the same. Maybe she decided she would be seen in a much better light if she spoke out now, particularly if the fire precautions in the other block are the same.
These people cover their arses before they think about anyone else.
She’ll find some poor sap to take the rap. It certainly won’t be the fault of NuLabour cutting maintenance costs to spend on new “affordable housing”.
If she has professed any opinion on the possible cause then she is an idiot. Wait for the outcome of the investigation by the professionals.
you are talking to yourselves guys.
heavy stuff for a saturday night innit.
you sad old c’unts.
Oy thicko, so what.
Ed just give him a slap. He dont understand long words and stuff/
I’ve got a feeling that these flats have already been up-dated, and there lies the possible problem. Could have been something to do with the ‘modernised’
windows that London councils have inflicted on these blocks of flats. On the other hand could it have been something to do with barbecues? I believe that the flats as they were before modernisation were safe, and that the central exit and entry worked ok. I believe these flats have small balconies, though in the photographs I can’t see any.
Those flats are a fine example of how well the Labour party, (nationally and locally) has looked after the working class in this country – a total disgrace. Just compare this to social housing in countries like Sweden and Germany – where it is generally clean, well maintained, etc.
Unlike their comrades in Europe, Labour can’t even bring some basic management competency to government. There is something about socialism in the UK that is particularly malicious, feckless and unpleasant.
The tories have been responsible for some horrors too!
my thoughts as well
This accident comes as no surprise. I know that area of South London quite well- largely a shithole, which is kept that way by Labour for electoral purposes. If Labour in office cares so much for poor folks, why are Labour run areas shitholes for generation after generation?
State (council) housing is essentially a wasteful means of securing votes, money and careers for Labour party apparatchiks on the backs on the less well off – apart from anything else it’s the apparatchiks who decide who gets what. Billions are poured into council housing to this end, year after year, decade after decade, regardless of the quality or social effects.
Secret “doomsday” plans for 20% cuts in public spending are being prepared by senior civil servants, who fear politicians are failing to confront the scale of the budget black hole. Whitehall mandarins have begun creating detailed dossiers containing reductions in expenditure that are far deeper than the more modest savings being proposed by Labour and Conservative politicians.
The disclosure comes as Gordon Brown faces a mutiny inside No 10 over his failure to admit that a future Labour government would have to reduce public spending.
This is the government quietly preparing the way for massive cuts while lying that there will be only investment. This is in the Times a paper not unkown for labour sympathies
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6638323.ece
Oh, bugger. Brown really has shagged us all, hasn’t he?
Reading this, it isn’t the government who are planning for this, but professional civil servants despite the government. It seems these top Civil Service guys really understand the catastrophic state of the UK economy and public finances. Good for them, and I am pleased that a few ‘dry’ Sir Humphrey types seem to have kept the faith despite everything Labour has done over the last 12 years.
Also interesting that the despicable turncoat Shaun Woodward now seems to be some kind of Martin Bormann figure in Browns’ bunker. As DC said, Woodward is ‘useless’.
Yes, but it is the government who brought this dreadful situation about..
Absolutely, caused by Labour. Civil Service putting in contingency plans (which will need political authority to put in place).
There’s a coup d’etat brewing. The country cannot take these fuckers for another eleven months.
The Civil Servants are drafting their plans for the coming of the IMF.
They can already hear the heavy footsteps in the corridor.
The first cuts they suggest will be to get rid of party members brought in on secondments from New Labour friendly organisations and then given permanent contracts, despite complete lack of understanding about management, political process and public accountability.
Mr Johnson’s show of defiance last week came the day after he had attended a private lasagne dinner at Downing Street hosted by Mr Brown and his wife, Sarah, along with several other cabinet ministers.
The dinner – described by insiders as “informal and very friendly” – was part of a charm offensive on the part of the Prime Minister designed to ward off further challenges in the wake of last month’s failed putsch against his leadership.
It came after a similar dinner – also with lasagne on the menu – the previous week, attended by newly promoted cabinet ministers, and will be followed by at least two drinks parties at Number 10 later this month for Labour backbenchers.
A charm offensive? That’s laughable on it’s own. Their guests had lasagne two weeks running. Can’t Gordon or Sarah cook anything else?
You may find this hard to swallow, but it’s so they have to eat his special ‘béchamel sauce’.
You may find this hard to swallow……
funny dat’s wot I just said to thick as thieves.
but you are a woman.
so ’tis you who would be doing the swallowing, shhuurrrrlleeeeyy!
unless you are a lesbian ofcourse.
in which case, as a supporter of the lesbian division of the gay people, I respect your right not to swallow.
It’s because they are both pasta their best.
I’ll get me coat……

Peter Mandelson was accused last night of a cover-up after delaying the publication of a £16m taxpayer-funded report into the collapse of MG Rover, the carmaker.
The business secretary has put the release of the long-awaited dossier on hold after calling in the Serious Fraud Office to investigate whether there was any wrongdoing.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6638419.ece
Wow! That is a top story. It will be interesting to see if the BBC cover it tomorrow or whether they have been briefed otherwise.
You can guarantee that bastard Marr will do his level best to ignore it. Going to such lengths as folding the paper/page over etc.

OH Dear and it was none other than Alan Johnson who said it would be speedy and published by the end of the month

New delay on report into Rover’s collapse
A long-awaited report into the collapse of car maker MG Rover, which has already cost £14m , is unlikely to be published for several months. The inquiry, set up in May 2005, was going to be ’speedy’ and ‘thorough’, according to the then Industry Secretary Alan Johnson, and was expected to report by the end of this month. However, sources close to proceedings say the investigation team has requested more information and has been reinterviewing several of the key players.
The inquiry was set up to look into the role of the Government and four former directors – dubbed the ‘Phoenix Four’ because of their plans to rescue Rover from the ashes when they bought it from BMW for just £10 in 2000 – in the collapse of the car maker in April 2005, which cost 6,300 jobs after the rescue bid failed. The latest delay is likely to push the bill to the taxpayer even higher.
http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/markets/article.html?in_article_id=481261&in_page_id=3&position=moretopstories
Are they going round the houses trying to turn ‘Shit carmaker got into difficulty. Government couldn’t leave it alone, bought votes and backed the wrong horse’ into several hundred hundred pages of bollocks?
Wonder what the expense claims are like for the people on the inquiry team…
Great link!
Mandelson briefs Times before Parliament.
The reputation and future of Parliament is in its hands, not ours.
Labour are finished. All they understand is how to tax, and how to spend money inefficiently. No other party is as inefficient when it comes to financial matters.
No wonder they don’t have any councils left. After the next election, they won’t be in power anywhere in the UK.
we can only hope and pray this is the case but before that 23% of the population need to come to their senses.
Just fucking shoot the 23%. They are pond scum.
Cut off their doleys!
This woman Sarah who describes herself as his wife seems to be getting a lot of good publicity.

Someone must dig the dirt on her.
Don’t worry, the Daily Mail are sharpening their claws. With Carla, Michele and Silvio’s bimbette’s around, Femail can crush her self-esteem to powder. “Because you’re just not worth it”. Cruel but effective.

The stories in the Telegraph and the Times are nonsense. I’ve done stuff and been around, and read stuff, and discussed things with people. Folks with my personality type tend to develop deep interests in a wide variety of subjects, extrapolate and connect the dots without missing a beat. I’m just leveraging that.
It’s not a crime to have an opinion, and I tend to have one for a reason – it’s not just yanked out of my ass nor do I have an opinion just to beat someone around the head with it. So, when some folks complain I’ve learned to suspect they’re suffering from a dose of sticker shock or have grudges they’re not being honest about.
What a tosser! So difficult to tell the real Hardwidge from spoofs these days.
Bwahahahahahah Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Don’t be stupid. I hear a lot of talk about changing to a new government but very little about what that change actually means. But, change is the stuff of Zen Buddhism ? change is about change within the world and the self, about accepting change around you as well as within. Now, here’s a subtle thing: the Anglo-Saxon view suggests that change is something we make happen, but the more Eastern view is that change is something we allow to happen. Likewise, many people view change as being something in the world that has to change but rarely consider it may be themselves that need to change. Change can be a scary thing as old certainties and self-images crumble but what is crumbling? Ideally, delusion as one hare-brained scheme after another bites the dust and only reality, whatever that is, remains.

“Positive Story About Gordon Brown” ??
That’s not HIV Positive is it ?????
The psychology of the Tories is orientated towards outward strength and inner fear, and sucking on that teat just pushes things over the edge. This is why I advocate that Labour don’t chase that lemming over the cliff but continue to develop a more mature and inclusive approach.
When a party is marginalised it tends to only damage itself, but where a party like the Conservatives get power they tend to destroy the country. Some folks will trot out the old equivalence argument and say that Labour is no different but they’d be confusing presentation with substance, and throwing integrity to the wind.
I refer you to my previoud post. Reflect. reflect.
A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.
Sexist.
See Post number 574 in response to your unintelligible drivel at 512
Ah, but there’s a negative story about Gordon.
The ‘liberal’ Huffington Post is madly deleting responses to his blog on Huffpo, even polite points of order are being deleted…now I wonder why that might be?
I note, that the stronger my argument the more the substance of alternative views drops off and the more personal attacks rise. Oddly, the most wild conspiracy theories and smears are let through on the nod by the same people when it suits their agenda.
If some of you folks posted under your real names instead of hiding behind the wall of internet anonymity, I suspect, you’d be a bit calmer and more polite. Judgementalism and attitude is easy when there’s no kickback but another thing if your real hide is riding on the outcome.
Perhaps, if more politicians, journalists, and public weighed these things more carefully we’d all be less hasty and get along better.
You’re a Guido stat porn stooge. Fuck off.
You should be the victim of this fool Brown’s actions, then you would realise why he is so hated.
However as he has caused problems and hardship to everyone apart from those who works either directly or indirectly for that state, you are either a civil servent, an employee of a local authority, or too stupid to understand the damage the devient Scotsman has done to your life.
If you are a worker employed by the state or have been, do’t worry your time will come because the people who work and cannot afford (mostly due to Brown’s policies including the pension raid) to provide for a small pension will not continue to pay for the scroungers who live off them.

I cant help but think on how quiet mr milliband was on ID cards or for that matter other complete wastes of money , has milliband spoken up about the ruin to millions of the 10p tax band?? or does mr milliband see it as a mere matter of systems and control like all good marxists end up snorting in the search for the class A hit .??

Tessa Jowell qutting. Presumptious cow thinks she’ll go to the the Lords.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1197557/Olympics-chief-Tessa-Jowell-quit-MP.html
Gordon Brown’s creaking Cabinet suffered another blow last night after it was revealed that Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell is poised to quit the Commons at the next Election.
Party insiders said that Ms Jowell, 61, has told friends she believes it is time to step down after 17 years as MP for Dulwich, South London, and move to the House of Lords.
Ms Jowell attempted to play down the claims last night, saying: ‘I have been reselected as the Labour candidate for Dulwich and it is my current intention to stand at the next Election.
‘I believe in politics and am 1,000 per cent committed to a successful Olympics in 2012.’
However, well-placed Labour sources said it was an ‘open secret’ that Ms Jowell, who has remained a Labour Minister since the party won power in 1997, is planning to step down.
she added a one?
I thought it was only 0% with Labour…on the plus side?…mmm
No doubt she will then as Baroness Jowell of Dulwich(?) be hoping to continue in some sort of associated Olympics Role when Cameron becomes PM ?
She’ll get her peerage. After all, it’s the right thing to do.
1000% committed? If I’ve told them once, I’ve told them a million times – don’t exaggerate.
Its kick off in the Olympic football match.
Spending cuts, a change of Minister, and a change of Government are all key players.
The championship cup is the ability to blame somebody else for the huge cost and complete fiasco, which will be the inevitable result.
oh this is fun – Alan Johnson goes rogue. Crack open the can of worms.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/5742745/Alan-Johnson-opens-damaging-new-rift-with-Prime-Minister-Gordon-Brown.html
A damaging new rift has opened up between Gordon Brown and Alan Johnson after it emerged that the Home Secretary tore up a key government policy without consulting Downing Street.
Mr Johnson stunned the Prime Minister and his senior advisers by declaring that holding an identity card would never be compulsory for British citizens.
The Sunday Telegraph has established that Number 10 had no idea that the Home Secretary would arbitrarily change the previous policy – that ministers would legislate to make ID cards compulsory once a certain proportion of the population held them.
A Labour MP who is a strong supporter of Mr Brown said: “Alan has been behaving a bit strangely since going to the Home Office.
“He seems to spend a lot of time closeted behind closed doors with his key advisers rather than getting to know the whole department.
“You hear worrying things from his supporters – that they are going to have another go at Gordon at conference and stuff like that.”
Evidence of the fresh rift between Mr Brown and Mr Johnson comes as Tessa Jowell, the Cabinet Office minister, warns the Prime Minister he must not abandon “Middle Britain” or those voters who “play by the rules.”
falling apart at seams
Bit late to worry about “Middle England” – Labour have fucked them over pretty good for much for the last 12 years as their “milk cows” -which in the “good years” they accepted but now they are also being affected by the “recession” caused in part by Brown’s incompetency and they want rid of the whole pack of you !!
I dunno – there must be a creature lurking somewhere at the bottom of a sewer pipe in London that must resemble the fraudster.
Rats in a sack?
Negative story about Gordon Brown!
Get away!
The only positive Brown story is the one that reports his death.
One thing if it was reported he died there would be never any questions of wether it was him or a lookalike, allowing Mc Mental to live a quiet life, as it would be totally impossible to make anyone elce look like the freek
I’m thinking bin liner and fly tipping in a scottish peat bog – Anyone got a better suggestion?
“ Ms Jowell, 61, has told friends she believes it is time to step down after 17 years as MP for Dulwich, South London, and move to the House of Lords.”
So Labour MPS can now resign and demand a job for life on the House of Lords’ gravy train?
Europe and the UK house of Lords is fast becoming a toxic dumping ground for failed Labour MPs. The sites need cleaning up and decontaminating.
As a starting point I would suggest a culling of all the vermin within and strong preventative measures to keep any further vermin out.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1197557/Olympics-chief-Tessa-Jowell-quit-MP.html
The Lords must be reformed after the election and these creeps removed. They have destroyed our country and they cannot be allowed to hold any public office ever again.
Tarred and feathered would be too good for them.
Vermin in ermine eh lol!
Perhaps that was the plan all along ie set the expenses honey trap so that some mp’s “step down” in the Commons and quietly sidle over to the “Lords” (Baals) when the furore – but no action – has died down to keep the zanuliebore agenda on track ie fascist, lock-down, big bro state…..oops, was that a consp theory?? I’ll get my coat.
Compulsory ID cards might have disappeared for now but the attack will come from another angle, making life so difficult without one ie alcohol available to over 21’s/25’s and no doubt rising…. ‘They’ will expect (and are no doubt planning for) us to be begging for ID cards ere long.
What the fuck has she done to deserve it eh? does being the only person who gave up her husband to spend more time with her job qualify you, does being a useless oxygen thief qualify you or do you have to be marginaly less useless than the speaker to get in.
No wonder this country is fucked when people like her think she should make the rules.
Whatever happened to making the Lords more democratic? It has fast become a cosy retirement home for disgraced Labour MPs.
I hope Dave has a clear out when he takes the reins.
He can’t. The fuckers are there for life.
How Ironic that it was New Labour all those years ago who came to power on a promise that they would reform the House of Lords, only to milk the status quo for all it is worth.
There can only be one solution as the Lords has been mortally damaged. It must be be abolished in its entirety and replaced with a fully elected Senate, existing hereditary peers as well as lords spiritual and the common person would be free to stand if they can show a level of experience.
dream on wanker.
It’s pay back time for newlabour. Easy to see who ‘towed the line’.

Its probably come up already, but clearly I’m not going to read the 641 comments left below, you say, Guido, that Gordon Brown ruined the Labour party. Rather interesting that you should care so much about this.
Well Guido, we did try to find some positive things to say about Gordoom. Sadly, it seems, we’ve failed spectacularly. Had fun trying though – some more than others reading the thread back!

Alistair Campbell (assisted by Damien McBride) set an internet honey trap for Tory shadow ministers:

oh an look that name Alex Hilton pops up yet again. No doubt McBrides hand is in here somewhere.
The Tories need to do their homework bfore handing out interviews now it seems. These Labour whores really will go to new depths to fellate the leadership.
Why didn’t Gordo take part in gay pride to show his support with Sarah? His manly mincing would have been an great asset to the proceedings:
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46011000/jpg/_46011134_jex_400922_de26-1.jpg
He sent the beard, after all she lives with a Gay man so why not be on the supportive family float.
A few years back Prescott paid off some secretary who was planning on spilling the beans over a tape the US government held recording the goings on between Blair and Brown in a US hotel room. Prescot was aware of the tapes existance. No wonder Blair was Bush’s bitch. And from the look of it today, Brown is Mandelson’s bitch
No, Gordy was quite right not to go to the Gay Pride March, he’s got nothin to be proud off.
Was this on one of Brown’s regular holidays to the gay holiday capital of Cape Cod?
Just seen milliband on Marr – he was doing well until he said that the Labour party is more unoited now than any period since WWII.
His credibility went out the window with one throw away sound bit and blatant lie.
I will keep saying this – stop treating us like idiots
No what he means is that the party are united in their dispair with Brown
For once I have to agree with Miliboy. Telling Marr to grow up was correct. The BBC is trying to make a story out of a none story concerning the new MI6 boss. Even Miliboys can gert it right sometime.
The wife of the MI6 boss who put all their family details on facebook must be a right dollop.
How thick can she be to compromise their family and friends for the sake of a bloody chat site?
It’s so obvious that I don’t think that actually requires an answer – do you ??
He was not the head of MI6 when his wife did the facebook but why ruin a good story for the sake of accuracy?
OT. Has anyone seen the pension reports about the two executives at the BBC? One of them is Alan Yentob (can’t remember the name of the other one).
Seems between them they have amassed over £14 million – and we’ve bloody well paid for it!
I’m seriously thinking of getting rid of my TV’s and getting everything over the net through a PC. At least I won’t have to pay the shysters for a license.
Grrrrrrr!!!
Providing you don’t stream “live” TV and only watch the programmes on e.g BBciPlayer or similar after they’ve been transmitted then legally there is no requirement for a TV licence but if you say watch BBC Parliament or BBC News Channel live then you do but I would think it’s next to impossible to “police” – the ISPs have got enough problems without checking for who’s watching “live” TV via their PC/laptop
I gave up TV and the licence fee after Jonathan Pillock Ross and his obscene telephone calls.
My daughter has discovered books, my son is learning how to play, and I do not miss it.
Whatever else happens, the BBC must not be allowed to continue to fund itself with public money and no accountability to the public.
Cut down public service broadcasting to the bare minimum, put it out to tender on five year contracts, use the BBC Charter as a contract template.
Lowest tender wins. As the BBC has completely ignored its charter for years, they should be disqualified from bidding on the grounds of historical non-compliance.
Please see previous comment elsewhere in this thread where a top BBC Executive states that the BBC Licence fee should no longer be collected as it is now but added to your council tax bill.
No escape then for anyone if Pravda get that offthe ground.
That’s what the authorities do in France.
There was an interesting suggestion on Brillo’s Daily Politics on Monday that the BBC should be included in Cameron’s new ‘Bonfire of the Quangos’. Expect some pragmatic ‘rebalancing’ of their news output.
It reminds me of the film [Hotel Sahara, 1951, fact fans] in which Peter Ustinov frantically changes the framed political portraits with every shift of fortune in the war in North Africa. Shifty, unprincipled trough-rats.
My daughter and family do not have a TV licence. They do not have a TV. Though you are not allowed to watch anything BBC ‘live’, as in BBC News online you are allowed to watch recordings or any archived programmes.
give me all your fucking money!
I’ll second dat!
fuck off, it’s my money!
Should you not be making another extremely boring TV programme on something you know nothing about, Professor?
where’s my fucking share?
What’s Yentob’s ethnic background, incidentally? He’s a hideously ugly fucker who resembles a cross between Satan and the King of the Gypsies!

This is a storm in a teacup. You see, while other folks have been getting all stiff necked and sweaty over things I’ve just been using it as more Zen practice.
The Tories project great size and force but this is merely a perspective. By developing alternative views they turn into pebbles and feeble slaps, and vice versa. But, you’d know this if you’d been paying attention.
Tipping point maybe, but for whom?
Tip of the iceberg perhaps?

Listening to Ken Clarke on Boulton is so refreshing. When he speaks it is quite clear that Brown, Balls and Osborne have not got a clue.
He had to watch his words very carefully and play down the mess we’re in. The last thing he wanted to do was imply that savage cuts are required NOW and thereby fuck-up the Tories chances of getting in at the GE. I think he got the balance about right.
If Gordon Brown is that fucking clever, why not stick his face on the £50 note and make him the Captain of Manchester United, but unfortunately he is a Scotch twat who cannot even buy his underpants the correct size. I am surprised that Heath & Safety have not insisted he wears a crash helmet at all times.
Good idea. Preferably back-to-front.
And strapped to his arse.
Oh, dear. A not positive story about Gordon Brown
“Gordon Brown out of step as Labour’s chance slips away”
While the Prime Minister works day and night for the country, the sun is shining on Mrs Brown, who is enjoying a new level of celebrity through her Twitter profile and friendships with Naomi Campbell and Paris Hilton.
Yesterday she became the first prime ministerial consort to take part in the Gay Pride march in London, sealing a transformation from a slightly frumpy mid-forties political wife to something approaching a true gay icon, a political and a national treasure.
Last week, wearing a denim dress, hippie beads and wellies, she was reunited under umbrellas with Campbell on the fields of Glastonbury. Her PR strategy is to boost her husband and it is working.
Sarah Brown is a real fag-hag on the make. That’s why she entered into the sham marriage with Gay Gordon.
And this from a Prime Minister who said he would not use his family for Political advantage. Hiding behind Sarahs skirts again, just like Glenrothes eh Gordon !
Give it a rest. You’re talking b*ll*cks.
Ooh you are awful…..no really, you are fucking awful.
‘Her PR strategy is to boost her husband and it is working’
So you admit then McTwat is useless and he needs a beard to shore up any credibility he ever had thats if he even did have any? Bit like yours Hardwidge. No do run laong please and quit littering this board with your inane drivel
Does she shave her muff and not wear knickers? That would be a good start.
I am the real Charles E Hardwidge and you are a (very poor) impersonator. Identity theft is a crime, and the police have been notified.
No!
I am the real Charles E Hardwidge and I will bring forth fearful vengeance upon you.
I have also notified the metropolitan police farce and have ordered the territorial support group to beat the shit out of you.
Everything Brown touches turns to shit.
That’s because he’s a deranged sociopath who hates everybody apart from himself.
It’s certainly appears that Brown isn’t a lucky politician unlike his predecessor and nemesis “Teflon Tony” who seemed to effortlessly miss all the flying stuff of which there was quite a bit during his premiership unlike Brown who seems to attract it !!
Tony was a master craftsman in the art of bullshite.
Any interview with him I always thought was like trying to nail jelly to a wall.
It so aptly explains the state the country’s now in. “The Curse of Psycholops.” (coming to a movie theater near you soon, staring Johnny Vegas as Gordon Brown).
nah more like Mr Bean — the relaunch

I feel sorry for your husband having to put up with a c’unt like you.
poor bastard.
I was in a position where I could’ve leaked information that would’ve blown a Tory minister’s career for seriously misleading parliament but Clive Ponting and the Official Secrets Act was ringing in my ears at the time so I chickened out even though there was a clear public interest. That minister’s career was over and they got found out later but that’s another thing.
Instead of having a policy view or putting their hands up, the Tories are just grandstanding and fuelling outrage. I just think that sort of thing is a waste of space, and if people focused on the real issues of policy and MP’s competence instead of trying to cheat and slime their way around the system we might all be better off.
If Labour honoured its manifesto commitments and stopped blowing the next two generations income to try to keep them in power, we WOULD all be better off.
Smallwidge you TIT ! Tthe last of the “HONOURABLE ” member’s died along with robin cook Tory MP’s used to do the honourable thing and resign and the last few old school labour MP’s did the same But this fucking lot have no morals what so ever ! You can’t shift them with a fucking crowbar !
Robin Cook Honourable ???????? I think his ex wife would have something to say about the duplicitous wee bastard !
Is he dead?
Yes.
Lets talk policy then :-
a) Selling off gold reserves at knock down prices.
b) Ruining the world’s best pension system.
c) Massive and uncontrolled immigration.
d) Massive increases in taxation, govt spending + govt borrowing.
e) Failure to regulate the banks.
f) Declining standards in schools.
g) Increasing crime.
h) Decline of manufacturing base leading to huge balance of payments deficit.
i) Encouraging huge inflation of house prices.
j) Illegal war in Iraq.
k) Not honouring promise of referendum on Lisbon.
l) 5 million on unemployment / disability benefit.
McMoron has not done abad job eh?
Yeah, I’m willing to bet you’d do the same for 72 virgins, only I don’t bet.
Were you talking about Mandy when you refer to “trying to cheat and slime their way”?
I suppose the positive side of Sarah’s Pride involvement is that if all labour supporters become gay, then at least they won’t be able to procreate
As the Sun pointed out yesterday – there is a significant swing of the pink vote towards the Tories.
Sarah’s march with Gay Pride had much more to do with that than any genuine commitment she may have to the Gay cause.
As well, gordon said his security people had advised him not to march because of possible assassination attempts. More likely he was afraid of getting boed in a public place again. Either way – it wasn’t very manly of him to send his wife in his place because he expected trouble was it!? What happened to his visions of Courage? that he writes so much about.
Serious question.
How big is the pink vote?
Is the “I don’t really like pinks that much” vote ten times bigger?
Westminster might be focused on political correctness, but the rest of the Country isn’t.
are you a lesbian nell?
WE DESERVE TO BE TOLD THE TRUTH!
Gordon Brown preferes to spend most of his time with his new best friend Shaun Woodward these days.
Careful Gordon. People are beginning to talk.
Woodward always liked to “swing both ways”, if you get my meaning.
does the phrase “crossing the floor” have a sexual connotation? could this be why gordoom keeps him close, a bit of in house light relief now mandelsons arse has lost its grip.
All we need is a length of rope then.
Apparently Mandy is getting jealous.
There’s more camp drama in No 10 than in the ongoing saga of Katie and Peter.
I always love a good soap.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8134963.stm
A former Prime Minister tells you what’s really going on.
You can forget foreign policy and David Milipede, you can forget ID cards and Alan Johnson, you can forget any other fector. The economy will decide what happens from now on in. And unless someone, somewhere tells the truth and does something about it, the country is going to become another Guatamala.
Lots of complaints previously about Marr’s leftie leanings, but today he did give John Major a fair crack of the whip. (Not sure whether I phrased that right).
John Major seemed to be fairly honest about our economic situation, suggesting ways of getting us out of the mess.
Also fair does to David Milliband, he obviously has not yet attended the course on talking very quickly without pauses over the questions being asked by the interviewer.
I guess that’s 3 controversial statements I’ve made.
How are the nippers, Guido?
Don’t think it’s just Guido on a slow one , Sky news picking the bones clean on the Wacko stuff. Like anyone fooking cares….
I never met him, but I did give his monkey a good spanking once…..or maybe twice.
Im begging to suspect News International invested heavily in Jackos London Concerts and are now trying to recoup their investment with all this coverage.
Highly likely there was a promotional tie-in with the Sun and NoW: posters, MP3 sticks, pull-out hagiographies and the like. If so, it remains a wise move: the artist formerly known as ‘Wacko Jacko’ has a back catalogue to rival Elvis.
Mandy forced gordon to make sh*un woodw*ard leave a meeting at no.10 saying “I won’t speak to you until he’s gone” – gordon meekly complied and shaunW – it is said- stormed out.
and then, Al*n Johns*n ditched Labour’s flagship ID Card Policy without consulting No.10.
gordon is said to be furious but powerless to anything about it.
A powerless PM , cabinet ministers making their own policy withour reference to the cabinet and gordon and a slowly imploding Labour government – who’s looking after to country then ?
Ho Hum
Come on now, we all know Mandelson’s running the country. Probably the only politician in the country less popular than Brown.
Obviously, Mandelson’s planning to oust Brown once the Irish vote yes to the EU constitution. He would do it earlier, but he knows there will have to be an election pretty much immediately afterwards, and that would give the Tories the chance to scupper the constitution with a referendum here – and that is more important to him than his party or his country.
so if we string mandy up we can get our country back.

I think mandy has visions of grandeur – hopes to be the power behind the thrown much in the style of Cardinal Wolseley or perhaps more appropriately Piers Gaveston (EdwardII).
Both, of course, came to grief.
I think also that mandy is letting this Labour slow car crash happen because he believes, after the next election, that he can rebuild Labour in his own image like a messi*h.
Nice one Mr Blob. Crash McDoom to go in the autumn methinks, followed by Postman Pat. Easily manipulated dontcha know.
Mandy is probably already hissing down his earhole.
According to the Redtops Wacko Jacko was buried with out a brain

Guido, as soon as you get over your swine flu, thick as thieves needs a spell in the cooler FFS.
a quick scroll down is one answer, but surgery would be better.
what a pair of fucking jokers.
fuck off you sp@stics.
well done.
Its started but are we surprised???? Nope! Passing the buck by the government and it was nothing to do with us guv
Chancellor Alistair Darling has blamed “kamikaze” bankers for damaging the British economy.
Mr Darling said a shake-up, to be unveiled next week, will prevent a repeat of the financial crisis. He has already indicated that next week’s banking reform White Paper will include new powers for the Bank of England and Financial Services Authority. The chancellor said regulators would be able to ask “searching questions” and be “ready and able to deal with failures when they arise”.
He said: “We need to learn lessons from etc etc etc etc etc all the crap we have heard before.
Sorry Darling it happened on your watch and you and the PM through your meddling made the situation 100 times worse. Can you not ne man enough to stand up and basically just say what everyone knows. You fucked up and big style and for the second time in my lifetime and for the third time in many pensioners lifetimes.

Passing the buck, it’s what we do.
Tories can blast Labour as much as they like, and some folks who aren’t Tories may have some reservations. But, the important thing is the government continues to focus on facilitating success and show they’re on people’s side in this testing period.
Sounds as if your running on empty Fuckwidge.
I wish the government would stop focussing on facilitating sucess as they are just, well….most unsuccessful at it.
Hardwidge is like one of those Japanese soldiers at the end of WWII who refused to accept that the war has been lost. He’s going to carry on fighting for Emperor Gordon regardless of reality.
Perhaps he’ll give up when Gordon broadcasts that “the electoral situation has developed not necessarily to Labour’s advantage”.
Maybe smallwidge is an ex gay lover of McMental ?
They have not done a very good job yet then.
If government are focusing on success and we’re in this state, God help us if they ever take their eye off the ball. Oh sorry, I forgot. That’s what got us into this mess in the first place.
TAX GRAB ALERT TAX GRAB ALERT
Hurughha!! Hurruagha!! Flashing lights
Brown planning another National Insurance tax grab to fund elderly care plan
Gordon Brown was engulfed in a new row over the parlous state of the country’s public finances last night amid fears he is planning a huge post-Election tax hike. The Government is looking at imposing a rise in National Insurance contributions after the next Election to help fund the cost of care for the elderly, it was claimed yesterday.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1197580/Brown-planning-National-Insurance-tax-grab-fund-elderly-care-plan.html
It’s just another excuse for raising taxes isn’t it?
You work and pay taxes all your life and then, when you’re elderly and in need of care, the state expects you to pay for that as well, out of moneys on which you have already been taxed.
1) The problem is not that people are taxed too little. The problem is that the Gorvernment spends too much.
2) If increasing taxes were the solution to every problem, why are there any problems left?
3) Giving money to a Government is like giving a barrel of beer to a drunk. You know what he’ll do with it. You just don’t know which wall he’ll choose.
He could offer free mars bars to everyone with two eyes ! For one no one will believe a fucking word that splurges from his gob and the other thing .He’s more chance of platting sand than winning the next election . He is just a mental Twat !
This is all so much dreg. If this is the best you Tories can come up with then it’s no wonder Gordon’s so relaxed about next year’s election!
If he’s relaxed then he’s taking too much Valium.
He did not seem very relaxed when he threw me against the wall yesterday.
Listen BROWNWIDGE ! Do not assume i’m a tory you sad little tit .I am just somebody sick to fucking death of being screwed by this gang of clueless c*nts, and talking of said clueless c*nts HOW ARE YOU ?
Gordon is relaxed about everything. It’s all the drugs the tosser is on.
I wish he had whaco jacko’s doctor to administer them !
“………..Britain is a mess.”
What do expect after 12 years of labour?
Why is Broon planning anything “post-Election”. If he thinks he can win then he’s seriously deluded, like a Newcastle United fan.
Reminds me of a few years ago IN VIZ Letter : I’m sick of it every time i open a newspaper to see yet again man united captain holding up yet another trophy !
and on the same page is always a picture of alan shearer Who dosn’t appear to be holding anything !
Interesting piece in the People today- re: our money which this government spends with such flair.
£57 Million paid out in benefits to people who have already died. No attempt is made to retrieve these payments.
£16.5billion spent by Labour on IT projects – 70% have failed.
The Taxpayers Alliancs recommends scrapping the RDA’s and English Partnership because they duplicate work done elsewhere. Saving £2 Billion
Scrap the NHS IT Scheme already in trouble and expected to fail – Saving £2 Billion
And then what about the money already wasted?
9 reorganisations of the NHS since 2001 ( 1 a year) Cost £3Billion
Refurbishment of Whitehall Defence Ministry Offices – £2.3Billion (never mind the needs of our front line soldiers and their shortage of equipment that is leading to deaths)
£2.6Billion lost in benefit fraud
£1.5Million cost of splitting Home Office in two- which included offices for Jack Straw, signing, letterheads etc.
And on……and on………….
Truth is the Tories won’t have to cut frontline srvices to save money – they just need to clear up Labour’s criminally wasteful housekeeping.
Agreed, of course.
Nell re:-office refurb.
In our neck of the woods they are refurbishing the military housing stock which is long overdue but the money that is spent on the ancillary stuff that goes with this sort of contract seems to be limitless. New scaffolding, new plant, new bloody everything. Been building for along time, some very expensive money no object stuff, but have never seen it spent/wasted lke this before. hey ho…….
Truth is government cnstruction contracts never come in on time or on budget. And the contingency funds set into the contracts are always underestimated – never enough – so back they go to raid the public purse – time after time. The Olympic Games 2012 are a good example.
Further thought – Labour does not and never has understood money. They think that there is always loads of it that they can spend on their wasteful schemes. They cannot grasp that at some point it runs out and then you have to print it. Which is what they are doing now. Wait for inflation to hit 30% per annum, at least.
My advice, take all your assets and shift them to another country and take yourself there as well. Otherwise, you, your children and your children’s children, will be paying off the mess created by Brown, Blair and all the other “noo labour” rubbish that we have been saddled with. This country is finished, whoever wins the next election. Blair has skipped out, Handlebum of Boy and Brown will do the same. We, the suckers who have to pay, will be landed with their filthy mess.
Why don’t they just GO NOW!
Saw this earlier today – incredible and very alarming
Social workers and police get you Sectioned for being worried about your kids safety.
Imagine being locked up in a secure mental unit because you objected to your kids being taken into care at the school gate for no reason other than your concern about their safety?
FFS – what has this country become?
Some lie bore MP has probably found a nic e “little earner” in the black market for adopting these children ! This bunch of crooks are scum they are the lowest of life forms and there are no depths to which they won’t stoop sexually or morally . PUT NOTHING PAST THEM !
What about all that stuff surrounding the town where Andy Murray grew up. It begins with a D but seems not to pass the censor on here.
Is it DUMBASTARD ?
dun blane
Yes, that’s the one. Police and university paedophile ring cover up. 50 year rules and all that … makes you think!
“…….makes you think!”
That makes you almost unique on this blog.
Plato
Its become utterly evil and all under a Labour government. NEVER FORGET THAT AND NEVER FORGIVE
Lembit Opik does it again – surely news reports of Lembits dates are an excellent excuse for Katie Green totty shots?
What do they see in him? the c*nt looks like Jiminy cricket for fuck’s sake unless he’s hung like a Baboon !
Panic in Parliament as Swine Flu Strikes down senior security official.
‘It is highly likely he was contagious earlier this week’.
Being a former securibod at the palace I can say I used to work when I was sick as a dog because our pay structure was based on various elements such as shift allowance/premium weekend working and overtime, otherwise the basic pay was pretty shit.
The official in question probably couldn’t afford to go sick and thus still went in.
“Peter ,what should I post?”
YOUR RESIGNATION ?
Your knob thru a letterbox. Make sure there’s a rottweiler on the other side.
I take pride in the fact that my husband is gay.
He chooses all of the soft furnishings that we claim on expenses.
“Hes queer and Peter likes to call him dear”
The most positive thing about Brown is that he is positively dishonest, incompetent, deceitful, incompetent, useless and waste of space. Also, he is ugly, personally unwholesome and odious. Apart from the foregoing, he is a splendid specimen of a Scot, who should be in his own benighted, wretched and poverty stricken country and not here in ours, ruining England.
Hear hear. Fuck off Brown you dysfunctional gobshite.
Charles,
Please get back into bed. The doctor is on his way.
Couldn’t Gordon apply to be Governor of Alaska as Sarah Palin is stepping down.
It has a similar climate to Scotland and nobody wants to go there. I think it’s far enough away.
Not far enough.
HE wouldn’t go there’s nothing left there to sell off !
He could sell the State itself back to the Russians at a knocked down price !
Come on Brown, what about some justice for the poor old pensioners who lost a packet in Equitable Life? You heard what the Ombudsman said and you did not lift a finger. The Ombudsman then issued a formal rebuke and still you have done nothing. You would rather spend our money saving the whole of Africa than do the right thing for our own. Under your watch, your system failed, so you bear the responsibility, but you turn the other way. When you were in Opposition (please, go back there without delay), you condemned the then Government about Barlow Clowes in strong terms. Equitable Life is far worse, but you sit on your bitten finger nails and pretend nothing bad has happened. I know why, of course, because with Barlow Clowes, you could attack the then Government even though you did not give a damn about the investors, but in your opinion, Equitable Life policy holders were just a bunch of rich middle class Tory supporters ho are loaded anyway, so they can go to hell and manage on the ever decreasing in real terms, State Pension, paid by the bountiful G Brown. Try to be honest for once in your wretched and miserable life and, as they say, play the white man.
I’m alright, Jock.
But the rest of who will pay your lousy pension are NOT all right. Get off your fat arse and do something for a change instead of announcing the same thing over and over again, or get out!
An instinctive Statist felt his monopoly on the concept of Prudence was threatened by the existence of a viable challenger from the private sector.
“All your bases is pwn3d by us” to use current gaming vernacular. Gordon must be running low on lives by though. His power is draining away. GAME OVER.
Good luck getting your man elected, BTW.
I think you got the number wrong. You want the Samaritans.
I really do fear Guido has gone down with the bug, as he often puts up three topics on a Sunday… What with Marr’s programme and the Sunday papers and all.
THE LIZARDS ARE BEHIND IT ALL, THE LIZARD PEOPLE FROM THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH!!!
Immigration is so very good, i get to stock up with all the fresh pussy from around the world! Labour has made me very rich!! i give them donations to keep making me money yes very friendly with the Labour.
wonderful country the UK!!! wonderful government!!!
Thanken Yoo All!!!
Show me the fresh pussy!
Miliband is saying that Labour should listen more to trades unions. What a surprise! Actually, I don’t think they have much choice any more.
In order to save the Labour Party, it was all but married to Unite last year. Yes, that’s right. We heard a lot about building societies being bailed out by Nationwide, and banks being taken over by others because of their debts. All marriages of convenience, of course. What we heard less about was Labour almost going under with their crippling debts. Unite stepped in and promised to honour Labour’s debts. For ever.
So, no pay freezes in the public sector in the (extremely unlikely) event of a Labour election victory. Forget the efficiency savings, and necessary cost cutting. It would be full steam ahead and spend, spend, spend – and let the private sector take all the pain.
Another marriage made in hell. I hate to think what they are already discussing in their pillow talk:
“A word in your ear, Darling”
“Yes, sweetie?”
“Let’s have massive tax rises right across the board – how about a basic rate of 40%?”
“But the voters will never swallow that, dearest”
“Oh, who cares? We’ve got a whole parliament ahead of us, and remember who holds the purse strings. Let’s have an 80% top rate too.”
“Oh, okay, then. Er, isn’t that a bit much also?”
“No, it’s too lenient if anything. Perhaps we should go for 90% instead.”
“You know best, dear.”
If that makes Mandy and Charlie Whelan the most powerful tossers in the country, we are so very fucked.
In an article for LabourList, Clegg said
“…although civil partnerships have been a step forward, until same sex marriage is permitted it is impossible to claim gay and straight couples are treated equally.”
“So I am determined that the Liberal Democrats will remain outspoken and steadfast in our defence of gay rights, from backing same sex marriage to stopping the deportation of gay asylum seekers to countries were homosexuality is punishable by death.”
Clegg also said he was against the blood ban against all gay men which exists at present.
Enjoy your HIV and AIDS all you GAY UK’RS
Oh well, Gordon and Dave have already sucked on gay cock this week, so Cleggy has to have a go.
It must be a vote winner in the UK, you fucking pervs.
I am not now, and nor have I ever been, a practicing Liberal Democrat.
Sorry Guido we’ve run our of positive things to say about gordon.
Here’s another example of Labour’s dodgy housekeeping:-
Mandy was accused last night of a cover-up after refusing to publish a £16million (£16million!!!) taxpayer funded report into the collapse of MGRover.
(Sunday Times)
The report has taken four years to compile – no doubt they thought by taking so long we’d all lose interest in it. Too bad, so sad, we haven’t.
The report is expected to show how Labour used £6million of our money to prop upMGRover for a few days until after they had won the 2005 election and then they let the company go to the wall.
It is expected that the report will not know be published until after the 2010 election.
It’s all good news then Nell!! All the way to the workhouse.
nell,
course you haven’t lost interest, you are a tory troll.
and what a busy tory troll you are nell, working on a sunday.
I trust you will get overtime for your work today?
and you are clearly too busy for that good hard spanking you were headin for earlier on in the thread.
shame, I was looking forward to administering it to you.
Good luck to Nell. We need people like Nell to remind us of the dastardly things that Labour get up to with our hard earned cash both now and in the recent past. The Labour Dirty Tricks Department certainly seems to be working overtime currently.
TaT the twat, clearly for you the issue isn’t the loss of jobs and the impact this will have had on the economy and the lives and welfare of the employees.
This is the face of modern socialism – screw the workers, screw the welfare of the economy, screw everybody. When anybody dares to expose the truth, launch a nasty little ad hominem attack – just as long as the party and its ruling clique look OK.
If you weren’t quite so dumb you would realize this doesn’t work anymore.
what are going on about you silly old fool.
I am independent and you are a troll!
and you should have better manners than biting the hand that feeds you for the great thick as thieves is running a job creation scheme for trolls.
new trolls are recruited by all the parties because I am bashing so many of the trolls brains out and so the dead ones need to be replaced.
I am making my contribution to the job numbers aswell as personally being a net contributing taxpayer.
I should be getting a cut of the trolls wages really for getting retards like you employed, I mean who else would hire an imbecile like you?
eh?
but you don’t hear me whining about it, do you, eh, eh?
I’ve just heard a report on Sky about union bosses being “furious” about Eyebrows not ruling out a public sector pay freeze. WTF??? We should be talking about CUTS in public sector pay (and I mean REAL cuts) not just a freeze. There’s so much FAT in the public sector we could easily get rid of 70% of jobs there. Most of those c*nuts are Labour voters anyway. Let’s fuck ‘em off and cut to the absolute bone before we end up like Zimbabwe.
You mean we are not there yet????
er, if we did as you suggest then we would end up like zimbabwe.
you cretin.
Ever so slowly, like pulling teeth with tweezers the Labour party and this PM are being forced to openly admite what they have lied about in the past. Each day another announcement on the financial crisis is made and a stealth cut here and a stealth cut there.
Now we have the mother of all ciuts admitted just over the horizon a cut which will set the Labour party up for yet another winter of discontent 30 years after they LABOUR made the precise same errors. Lessons were no learnt.

Alistair Darling hints at cuts and pay squeeze as finances worsen
(Ben Gurr/The Times)
The state of the economy is worse than at the time of April’s Budget and could result a squeeze in public sector pay announced within weeks, the Chancellor has admitted. Alistair Darling also acknowledged that government spending faces “much tighter” limits as a result of the recession, in one of the most frank interviews about the state of the public finances so far
Gordon Brown–= “I always tell the truth “– really is a disgusting creature.
What a disgrace to Scotland and to the Church of Scotland .
The English ,given the same chance as given to Scotland in a referendum,would vote overwhelmingly for English devolutionand probabably for total separation . The appropriate legislation would have to incorporate a a rule similiar to the one applicable to Presidents of the U.S.A preventing foreign born nationals becoming Prime Minister.
The English nation must never sgain allow such an archetypal coward and
devious ,spiteful ,congenital liar to be forced upon it by a spineless PLP
What on earth is it that causes the Scottish Church to generate such despicable people ?
Money Troubles ! He is certainly running the economy on a huge Ocean Finance basis.
what is a Raif Rover?
Whooo is heee?
When Gordon Brown dies we can use his ashes as a weapon of massive destruction. We can save billions by replacing our outdated nuclear warheads with small canisters of GB’s ashes.
Detonating the ashes above the enemy will cause them to be defeated by massive plagues, pestilence, equipment failures and deaths. We can lay waste and curse entire countries with suck a weapon.
Still we’d to find a way to GB proof the canisters and rockets…
hahahahah – Mr Fawkes, I really like your sense of humour!!!!
Keep up the good work
