      No one in the world should live without sufficient daily food, drink, warm lodgings and a copy of my book Portraits of Courage to read every night…except of course rural English and Royal Marines in Helmand Province.

        Oaf GuidOrcs, you posted this and should be ashamed.
        If you can’t understand the poignancy of the death of someone who spanned four decades of people’s parties, and celebrations like weddings, christenings and anniversaries, you are a bigger idiot than people think.
        How old are you?
        With your belly you should be careful about heart disease yourself.

          A Concerned Community Counsellor says:

          MB, it’s a jeer at NuLabour’s disdain for Englishness yet rampant and ferocious promotion of all other provincial cultures in our United Kingdom, and also accusing Gordon of inadequate provision of wages and weapons to the troops.

          Didn’t you read this man’s hypocritical piece in the Independent? Don’t you understand that personal industry and saving is what rescues people from poverty, not alms and stolen public largess? Why is it Gordon and Tony are swimming in money siphoned from the treasury, when our brave champions in the field have no bullets and live on the stalest bread and brackish water?

          Guido was not the author of the comment, stop sullying this blog to attack it’s creator with low (and dull) insults.

          Listen you utter prick,

          Read Guido’s post about the fiasco of trying to get his sick daughter seen and treated by the shower of shit that passes for the NHS.

          My daughter who is 2 has recently had a medical problem, not life threatening, but not pleasant.
          After taking her to hosiptal three weeks ago we have now been given an appointment to see a consultant for 30th of fucking September.
          So she has to suffer with this for three fucking months before she even see’s a doctor, never mind gets treated.
          I could understand a shite NHS if they had starved it of funds, but these useless fuckers have thrown 10’s of billions at it, and it’s still shite.
          Give me back my taxes and I’ll go private, which is what we are going to do any way.
          Thats what matters to most people not the death of some over hyped wierdo who spent most of his life in utter luxury, when children are dying here and all over the world, who have known nothing but abject misery.

          Get some perspective in your life you pointless bell end.

      This is a breed of political animal who has lost all sense of propriety, duty and even of shame. It will necessitate a deep cavern in Tartarus to entomb them away from the innocence and purity of the world and the recital of every severe, malevolent incantation in the Egyptians’ Book of the Dead to make sure once buried they never rise again.

          ‘Shrinking’ Sir, the post is, confusingly enough, a motley of elements but all with a common ironic essence. I’m mocking NuLabour. Click the link coalesced with the non de plume; it will convey you to an abandoned but entertaining (not my production) website actuated by anti-Nu Labour alacrity and disgust.

          All this ought to have been evident. None with sound, undiseased mind would contemplate hiring Malik or Harman to scrubb their old, senile nan let alone lead the country!

      There’s an idea! All the characters in these Monday morning cartoons should have name badges like at a business convention. Then we could get right into the humour without wondering all morning who the fuck they are meant to be.

    I am still laughing at Millibands sunday turn “the labour party has thousands of decent and commiteed people who work for it” (what like macbride, draper or wheelan). the curious reference to spedo shorts , perhaps we have our rebuttal blogger ??.I thought his proposals were socialist re hash when you thought about the detail , he likes ID cards , unable to tell the truth about ecnomic bust and remedy .

    enjoyed John Majors appraisal, made some good salient points , even with optomistic growth we still need to find £90bn (15k for every man woman and child of the uks 60 million population).

    Brown off to G8 , to promote wonk ecnnomic policy as labour rename international developement as “uk aid” , the department of UK aid , where the money goes abroad “I always tell the truth 0% of the time”

        Tony blair’s talking ‘retrospective ‘on radio 4 this am. Everything is ‘water under the bridge’ as far as he’s concerned. It’s a good thing some of us have long memories! Let’s hope he’ll get pegged sooner rather than later.

        • 206
          tat says:

          I must say that I am surprised nobody has attempted to assassinate tony blair.
          the only reason for that is that he travels in countries where the likelihood of an assassination attempt is reduced.
          his luck has got to run out sometime though, innit.
          and ofcourse he does not visit Gaza because he would probably get a bullet in the head.
          it makes one wonder why on earth he was offered the job of peace envoy in the first place.
          oh yeah, it was a propaganda thing to try and divert attention away from the fact that tony blair is a war criminal, just like saddam hussein.
          note to tony blair: rope or bullet?

        • 214
          barefootcontessa says:

          Don’t worry, blair has plenty of security, at our expense! He’ll be more afraid of a squashed tomato, or a flying egg (even a nokia), and he owns a wonderful country pile, where, as we speak, he is probably tending his well mown lawns, his tangled wisteria, bunged up moat, and delightful home for the ducks. In the company, of course, of a charming well dressed country wench, his wife, the dear cherie.

    L'Onlce Vanya De Caesaromagus says:

    The King of Pop is no more. RIP. Now lets get down to the important business. Who runs the UK? Is is Pa McRuin-Broone, or is it my liege lord, Mr Meddlesome? But we already know that don’t we?

    McRuin is still the ‘Junior Captain’ of the ‘Steamship Nues Liar-boring Titanic’, and Mandelson is the ‘True’ Senior Captain of the same – Liar-Boring Party!

    We will soon see, according my Oracle, the Piece of Seaweed on my Wall, that McRuin will be told to ‘Walk Ye Plank’ or resign from the Liar-Boring Party, because he is bring the Liar-boring Party into disrepute.

    I wonder what the likes of Meddlesome and others of that Ilk are doing, not only to the Liar-boring Partie, but to the UK in general. I still think Mr McRuin will be trollied out on a gurney by the Men in White Coats. Pa Broone ain’t looking so good lately… He’s got that same ‘Green Around the Gills’ look that Plastic Jack had……!!!

        More like the European Gravy Train stepping up to save Mandy – his main role seems to be keeping Gordooom in something approaching power until the Lisbon Treaty is ratified.

        He knows that a change of PM now will almost certainly trigger a general election, and with the Tories promising a referendum on Lisbon, Broon going now could trigger a constitutional crises across the EU. Mandy has been sent by the EU to make sure that isn’t allowed to happen!

    The coffins are designed to represent an aspect of the dead person’s life, such as a car if they were a driver, a fish if their livelihood was the sea, or a sewing machine for a seamstress. They might also symbolize a vice, such as a bottle of beer or a cigarette.

    Ryanair to make passengers stand:

      Sarah says:

      Am I the only person to have figured out that this is Ryanair’s regular (monthly?) “millions of pounds of free publicity” press release?
      They’re as regular as clockwork and all have the theme of (bastard) Ryanair:
      Bleeding passengers and selling the blood for medical products
      Cutting off long hair to make the plane lighter
      Forcing passengers to use bedpans and doing away with the toilets
      Transporting violent extradition cases and seating them next to small children

      Possible slight exaggerations above but you get the idea.
      Every bloody newspaper on the planet falls for this every time. The ’story’ gets the front page and Ryanair keep laughing.

      Sorry, slightly off top.
      Good cartoon from Rich and Mark. I will exercise great self-restraint by not repeating my favourite Michael Jackson joke.

      Sadly just part of an ongoing theme under this evil government. The entire civil service politicised. Ditto the police and the courts. 24/7 surveillance. Opposition MP’s offices raided.

      We are just looking at the ‘velvet glove’ part of the takeover so far. A few dissident’s careers getting destroyed. And David Kelly driven to ’suicide’. But all the ‘mailed-fist’ legislation has already been passed by the most evil government in UK parliamentary history. We must hope that they passed the legislation simply because they are stupid and had no idea why such evil, repressive legislation had ever been passed before. Because they certainly seem that stupid. It will be a delight to see a future government using this self-same legislation on the evil bastards who nodded it through.

      Oh yeah. Trials and re-trials and re-re-trials as necessary for Blair, Brown, Straw, Smith et al. I can hardly wait.

        While it is terribly sad for the people involved, all NZ is doing is protecting its own. I’ve lived in both Canada & Bermuda & it was the same there. You go there knowing this – or you choose not to go. In the case of NZ, I understand you can apply for a Permanent Residence visa after two years which would prevent expulsion. It rather looks as though many ex-pats were happy to live & work in NZ but not make any permanent committment to the country. Britain would be a better place if there were similar rules here rather that allowing every ne’er-do-well who wants to, to stay here.

      Did you hear Brendan Barber of the TUC a little earlier? Not sure why he gets to give his opinions to the world, but there he was spouting off about the rights of what he calls “Public Service Workers”. He probably thinks that’s a clever little way of changing Public Sector Workers into something that sounds like they are all doing something useful for the public. Don’t let him get away with it.

      • 211
        barefootcontessa says:

        Re Brendan Barber, he’s another one whose far too scared to tell the truth. The lower paid public sector workers should be protected from a pay freeze, the others should not. BB is scared his career might be in jeopardy, although in general, union leaders do not live like socialists, they live on the fat of the land. There are too many higher paid civil servants and too many of them with their high salaries and gold-plated pensions. T he gorgon and blair wanted this because cvs tend to protect the status quo. Their jobs are not threatened by the ‘vagueries’ of economic downturns, they tend to vote for their political masters. It’s about time someone told cvs, that they’ve never had it so good, and now’s the time to start giving back. Which party’s going to be brave enough to do this? Newlabour , the damp lettuce leaf? Almost certainly not. The tories, well unfortunately, that’s still in the balance.

    The new probe follows the completion of a four-year enquiry under section 432 of the Company’s Act by inspectors appointed by the Department for Business.
