School PM Praised for ‘Dynamism’ is One of Two Found Wanting by Ofsted
Two multi-million pound academies have been described as inadequate by Ofsted in the same week. Sheffield Springs Academy and Westminster Academy have both been heavily criticised by inspectors for failing to reach high enough standards and have had their overall performance given a grade four – the lowest possible mark.
Sheffield Springs was visited by Gordon Brown in May, the next week inspectors called. The Prime Mentalist praised the school’s pupils for their “dynamism”, “determination to succeed” and “high morale”. The inspectors on the other hand pointed to teachers failing to meet students’ individual needs, poor leadership and inadequate governance.
Very much like our national situation in a microcosm: failing to meet individual needs, poor leadership and inadequate governance.
Surely they could have just described Gordon Brown as inadequate and been more correct.
Surprise Gordon Brown can’t recognise poor leadership and inadequate governance how else could he appoint a lickspittle such as “Slow Bob” Ainsworth as our Secretary of State for Defence, A man who would be troubled leading a poodle far less our Armed Forces.
I’m duplicating my own post from another thread here cos it has made sooooooooo sick with rage. To say our armed forces are lions led by donkeys is an insult to donkeys.
Lt-Col Thorneloe and his driver Trooper Joshua Hammond were killed in a fatally vulnerable Viking because the bridge network across the Shamalan canal, where the fighting is at its heaviest, was in poor repair and too weak to bear the weight of a heavier vehicle.
Ok, so money and effort should be being spent on strengthening the bridges, yes?
No.
The Dept For International Development has invested no less than £420,000 on a leisure park for women, complete with a Ferris wheel. Called Bolan Park, when it was completed just over a year ago, it had “puzzled residents” asking why so much money was being spent on leisure when the most pressing problem – security – was getting worse by the day. Said Amir Mohammad, 44, “If the international community wants our country to be prosperous, they should first worry about peace and security. Then we can have parks.” (info from eureferendum blogspot)
How does one begin to express the rage at this?
PT Barnham ++++hugs++++
Lots of us on here feel the same. Today I’ve been shocked to read the Mail’s commentary from the frontline – it is so reminiscent of the Vietnam commentaries – Chilling!!!!
Your knowledge of the Afghan War is greater than ours and you should keep posting because it informs us more than the msm or govt ever will.
Thank you, Nell, I appreciate that. I just needed to share my source of rage today. When I read that, my head started to throb….
I don’t have any special knowledge about what’s happening in Afghanistan, but I come from a family with a long history of military service, and so I want to know what’s happening out there. I am ‘lucky’ that none of my kin are in a position to serve in either Iraq or Afghanistan. My grandfather, however, did – in 1919, on the North West frontier between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Plus ca change, eh?

YOU JUST COULD NOT MAKE IT UP COULD YOU
Let’s face it, Gordon Brown isn’t running the country, Peter Mandelson is – and he’s no better than Brown was.
It isn’t just the personalities that have failed us for the past few years, it is the ideology. The thinking in government has been quite poor, as sometimes happens when one party has been in power too long.
“quite poor” ???!!!
dismal, catastrophic, useless, earth shatteringly bad, appalling, criminally negligent, internationally embarassing,………………..
Piss poor!
Thinking! Government! In the same sentence! I don’t think so.
yes.
I hear that Bob’s moustache is willing to quit if the shit continues….

for god’s sake keep him out of Helmand – what a wanker.
Perhaps he could be persuaded to go and wish the Taliban well.
Is this Taliban well like a Wishing Well then?
Vaguely. The main difference is that the Taliban well plants IEDs and lobs RPGs at our boys. It’s not a nice well, sort of thing your mother told you to avoid.
ah, but if we were not there then we would not be targets.
logic, innit.
“if we were not there then we would not be targets.
logic, innit.”
No. If our troops were not there, Osama Bin Laden would be training terrorists to hit any Western soft target they thought they could manage.
The UK would be among the top 2 targets on the hit list.
You are completely clueless.
Just as an aside – have gordon and bobA ever bothered to viti Helmand and our lads??
If not they should be encouraged to take a stroll in the ‘pleasant valley’ where the current battle is raging , preferably between the lines of opposing fire in broad daylight.
well that word should read “visit”
You sound like my kind of lady, Nell.
Thank you oldrightie – I am honoured.
bob said he visited very recently, don’t know about GB. Rapidly getting to stage where can’t bear to listen to a word any of them says.
Nell, what you said yesterday about Mo Mowlam – with you all the way. Her fortunes changed the day she received a longer standing ovation than Bliar at the NuLab party conference.
166 granma – there were good people in Labour – but slowly slowly they have gone – Mo was one – Robin Cook (yes I know he committed adultery and that was a shame) but he was a good man.
What we have now is a mafia crew , brown, balls, ainsworth, cooper, militwit…….and they don’t care about anything but their own ego’s.
johnson, darling, straw are timid’s trying to dodge the bullies.
And harman is sitting on the sidelines hoping to become the next leader of this failed party – sad person!
Nell, I think you are being unfair to Bob Ainsworth. He was just a conductor on the Clapham Omnibus which took a wrong turn down Whitehall.
Robin Cook was a useless socialist hoon who had never done a decent day’s work in his life. His conversion from anti-EU to one of multi-culti’s most prominent advocates typified his treacherous nature. I recall one of his ‘green shoots’ interviews – utterly embarrassing.
As for Mowlem, she was at least as bad as Cook. There haven’t been any decent Labour ministers since Roy Mason.
And Jack the Straw is a monstrous turncoat. Allowed the rendition’ planes to use our air space and our bases, then denied knowledge of rendition of prisoners altogether! He knows and hides more than my granny’s had hot dinners, skulking about, ducking and diving, – Minister of justice. He doesn’t know the first thing about justice.
Nell, Cook was an odious creep, the fact that he commited adultery and dumpded his wife in such a disgraceful fashion IS RELEVANT as it tells us what type of man he really was. A horrible wee bastard thats what he was.
Gordon has not made it past Camp Bastion. 140 miles away from the shooting. Wonder if he claimed mileage?
Saw him droning on about how this is the right thing to do. If it is, equip the guys properly and do it now. And he should get his arse a bit nearer the sharp end,so he really understands. Otherwise don’t bother with the weasel words about sacrifice.
No different to Northern Ireland. Lots of good people got killed and maimed just so Blair could give it all away. Their deaths and injuries were pointless. The murderers even got compensation for being locked up.
Politicians = scum
Not one of these Hoons has ever been in uniform (Unless it was that of a bus conductor!) or even begins to understand the concept of discipline and authority. They are manifestly unfir to be in charge of the military, much less lead this country during any crisis, and certainly not any military conflict. They and their Civil Service W*nk*rs don’t even begin to understand that you can’t simply walk up to a shipyard, an aircraft manufacturer or an armaments supplier and say “I want a dozen of these to take away…”
Our Armed Forces have been underfunded for over two decades now, it will take at least that long to get them back up to strength and properly equipped.
Labour has always been viscerally opposed to the armed forces its early manifestoes were based on pacifist gramsci garbage churned out by the then Soviet Union for its commie fellow travellers running the UK Labour party.
The current sc*m leading the party are the heirs to this anti military tradition, so expect no defence “investment” except for armchair generals at home.
McSnoteater – a heinous immoral Scotch tw*t
No doubt Aquila is bracing itself for an eruction of volcanoes, meteorites and possibly a small nuclear winter after Gordon blessed the place with his presence the other day.
The last time I checked, governance included the whole of parliament and it’s only fair that other parties are scrutinised.
The media seem to have woken up to their role, and talking a bad party into government isn’t a good move.
It’s the only option left when the ‘party in power’ is a totally incompetent shower of shit like zanulabia
Gordon Brown is the worst Chancellor and PM I have ever known – and I can remember as far back as Heath, the europhile scum.
Brown ruined UK pensions, so people relied on “my house is my pension”.
Brown expanded UK money supply by 10-14 per cent from about 2001.
Brown was the bankers friend (Goodwin always in and out of No 11).
Brown consequently created the property boom.
Brown supinely accepted Basle 2.
Brown destroyed the working B of E supervisory system and installed his own failed tripartite system.
Brown consequently created the UK bank bust.
Brown increased government debt.
Brown encouraged personal debt.
Brown consequently created the near collapse of the UK financial system.
All the while Brown finger wagged other countries and boasted over and over how good he was and how he had “eliminated boom and bust”.
Brown is moronic, evil, socially inadequate, arrogant, a bully, anti-democratic, unable to admit error, and breathtakingly incompetent. Brown should be in prison.
I agree and I can remember as far back as Attlee.
I recall the Chariot Tax of Boadicea, but Cyclops is worse than even her.
Budgie @52
As a charge sheet, that’s pretty damning. But could you provide a quick gloss of Basle 2? That one obviously passed me by when I wasn’t paying attention.
Basel 2 created a kind of Banking Theme Park of hoops that bankers have to jump through before they can give your business a loan. It is supposed to reduce banking risk but does not address the problem of making credit readily available. It is mainly a box-ticking exercise. In principle it is a good thing but, being essentially passive, it will probably be quite easy for deteminedly reckless bankers to work round.
Thank you, Sir William, I am much obliged.
Brown massively increased the complexity of the tax system and thus increased the cost of both the paying of and the gathering of taxes, and also decreasing the efficiency of HMRC (Inland Revenue, as was). He has also turned HMRC into an officious and overbearing tyranny which has become both incompetent and yet increasingly powerful.
Budgie you missed the “no general election” part for the people who want one on Brown’s report card.
I was thinking of the capital requirement provisions of Basel 2. This from the FSA website (pdf) and explains what the concerns are. It is of course shutting the stable door after the spiraling bank collapse horse has bolted. As it says: “capital requirements may increase in a recession”. In fact they did increase (drastically) during the recent bank crash, thereby undermining shareholders and customers belief in the viability of the banks. Put simply Basel 2 helped to cause the recent bank crash.
“Subject: Monitoring Basel 2/CRD capital requirements. …… 2. The FSA together with other regulators is interested in the question of the sensitivity of capital requirements to macro-economic conditions under the new regulatory framework, i.e. the fact that capital requirements may increase in a recession (where the quality of lending deteriorates and credit losses materialise) and decrease in a boom (where the quality of lending improves and fewer losses occur)1. 3. The greater sensitivity of capital requirements to the cycle under the CRD/Basel 2 is a concern to financial regulators insofar as it may affect banks’ lending behaviour. Typically, less credit would become available in a recession, where risks and capital requirements are higher (credit crunch). Conversely, excessive lending in a boom could quickly erode capital buffers in a subsequent downturn (with consequences for the soundness of the financial system). Capital buffers held by banks over and above the requirement and, more generally, banks’ capital management policies are key factors affecting the final outcome.”
I am not sure what “governance” is (mebbe something from Govan on the Clyde) but the Executive ie the government, comprises members of the Labour Party. The Legislature is not the government but they are there – the Commons and the Lords – to approve or otherwise the proposed laws of the government. Labour has had a majority in the Legislature these last 12 years. If you want to scrutinise other parties well jolly good but remember who is supposed to be in charge.
Talking a disasterous party out of power has got to be a good move – and Labour and any form of Socialism is the worst of all political philosophies because it is dishonest.
The Tories stock has been over-valued for months, and the hint of Thatcherism in Cameron’s speech was the crack in the dam their critics were waiting for. Osborne’s performance when he should’ve been coming up with a national business plan was just the cherry on the cake. They’re making the strategic errors that Hannibal did that ultimately led to his losing the campaign against Rome and his eventual suicide.
The path of zealotry and isolationism isn’t very Zen Buddhist. But, once people start performing there’s little you can do to stop them, so I’ll just sit back and watch this particular bunch of monkey brains organise their bodies over the edge of the cliff. It’s quite sad people do dumb stuff like this it but helps removes the risk of them forming a government and mutes their, so far, corrosive attitude.
better than watching your mates organise body bags from Helmand due to inept management, funding, understanding, and lots of fucking monkey brains.
Don’t listen to me, I’m so fucking stupid I think Gorgon is marvellous
~wibble~
You said it!
What else can we expect from such a low grade PM and Government.
I’ve no idea if the Tories will be a lot better, but I’m damn sure nobody could be worse.
Roll on election day.
Another rant by a total twat. boring fart. I just wonder if he keeps the odd brain cell in a jar overnight.
Or is, he (or she) a, just a stupid little boy (or girl)
Wired up, programmed wrong…. Got to be a sad case, no logic, no hope, tosser!
If Cameron showed even a hint of Thatcherism in his maunderings Tory stock wpuld be an outright, “buy”. At the moment, any hint of Thatcherism in his utterences is firmly based in the delusions of the desperate war criminals in the No. 10 bunker.
Many people have assets because Margaret Thatcher gave them the right to
buy their council homes – Labour opposed that move vehemently as their local
councils enjoyed the mis-use of rents for idealogical pie-in-the-sky schemes – or
perhaps – ‘expenses’ for local councillors.
Games Workshop closes soon Charles, I’m sure you are planning a fine old time this evening sitting in the shopping centre carpark, drinking your own piss from refilled Fanta bottles.
Ps: Body bags.
Who ever is paying you to “blog” on here, is getting very poor value for their money, Charlie boy.
I don’t suppose there’s an English version of Charlie Halfwitted’s verbiage is there ??
Mr. Halfwitted: this is not prolix, it’s bollox.
Saturday night and Charles is starting on his “Zen Buddism” thread. I loves it lol, what a tart!
WE-EE-EERRRKKK! SHOWUZYERLEGS!
The paradox is that we need a clean break from the policies of the last 12 years but people won’t vote for it. Dave has to pretend to be another dumb, regressive, taxandspend waster until he gets into power.
I just hope it’s only a bloody good pretense.
Here here – show us your balls Dave, admit that 20% will be more realistic than 10%
Go and make your points on LabourBollox.org.
Charles;
Thatcherism is exactly what we need at this moment. Last time it came was after a period of the same Socialist madness we have just endured.
As the lady said,’ Socialism alway fails when they run out of other people’s money’
The good ship Gordon Brown sails onwards through the stormy seas of America’s global recession. Only Gordon has the big ideas to move us forward. In these worrying times, only Gordon has the big ideas that let us do more with less. By cutting anti-terrorism spending, Gordon is forcing terrorists to be more stupid and make more mistakes in order to get caught. The Tories have nothing to offer in this respect, proving we are only safe with Labour.
Keep on sailing us towards calmer waters, Captain Gordon!
Shame the name of the ship is the fucking Titanic.
Ha ha I liked that one!
And hopefully there’s a large iceberg just roud the corner!
Hey Mr Braindead, you’re a bit at variance with you’re real master, Lord Mandy of Mandelscum. He wants grimey arsed Gordon out by the late Autumn to be replaced by Postman Pat.
You’re not very good at this game are you?
Oh, dear..
Why bother mate ?
This stuff goes over their heads so much it’s almost as hilarious as Sandwidge’s delusional babbling.
“Oh, dear..”
I know your hard of thinking, but you could have made a bit more effort.
0 out 10.
Oh and BTW, I know you’re not the real Hardwidge, I just fucking hate anybody called Charles……..nothing personal like.
When I’m King you’ll be first up against the wall matey boy.
No doubt with my pants round my ankles by the sound of it, giving me a right royal seeing to.
I can’t wait.
Now that is funny!
Dumbing down terrorists! Do we send Ofsted to check on the level of training provided at AQ camps in Pakistan? We should, you know.
No. We lend them Balls for 18 months. The training camps will never recover. Hopefully. Balls will never be recovered.
As in carry on gay crusing !
That’s a typical photo of Gay Gordon, simpering over some spotty schoolboy like a pervy uncle.
Nice try of bringing up that Gordon Brown meme again but it’s not working. Yes, I know it’s “politics” but it’s just empty and negative rhetoric that’s trying to do an end run of peoples reason and tweak the primal fears in their monkey brain. It doesn’t say anything or give anyone a reason to vote for the Tories.
Cameron has boxed himself in as a leader without a plan and with just a whiff of the uncaring about him. Unless the Tories decide to take on the CBI and make sure people lower down the ladder get their fair share in credible and sustainable terms he will continue to be squeezed.
Fuckwidge, it’s not so much that you’re terminally stupid, although that’s bad enough, it’s the sheer fucking tedium and boredom.
You are one heck of a boring mutha fucka. Fuck off back to Labourwrist, where your particular talents can be best appreciated.
Tell you what Charlie. It’s Saturday. Give yourself a day off and give the rest of us a break from your delusional twattery.
I said Tell you what Charlie – it’s Saturday. Give yourself a day off and give the rest of us a break, but got modded. Surely it couldn’t have been the word t w a t which is one of Guido’s favouriites.
Without a plan?
He has just had 12 years of Labour.
The plan is simple:
Do not spend other peoples’ money recklessly
Do not get into debt
Do not raise taxes to extortionate levels
Do not go war illegally
Do not scrimp on soldiers kit/equipment
Do not tell blatant lies
Do not employ Labour party attack animals at public expense
Do not employ Labour IT friends for Gov projects
Stop selling out the conutry to the EU
Stop giving our money top Nuclear countries like China, Pakistan and India
Scrap the biased BBC
That is for starters.
Dave may be stupid, but nowhere near as stupid as dumb Labour fucks – especially the Labour supporting graphic fidelity bedwetters who must have had their collective head up their collective arse for the last 12 years – the only way to miss the damage Blair/Gorgon and the rest of the halfwits have done..

Without a plan? How come Gordon has been banging on about what the Tories will do if elected? Surely he’s not making it up?
Charles, he’s already doing that by opposing the National Insurance tax hike proposed by Gordon Brown on hard working families.
I am a product of NuLiebor educashun, educashun, educashun.
What’s the betting he’s saying, “Ooh look, you’ve dropped your pencil.”
I certainly would.
No, I like Charles’ careful intellectual interventions.
To be fair, by Gorgoon’s standards the schools are a success.
He’s a legend in his own tiny, deranged mind.

http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/AboutDefence/People/Ministers/UnderSecretaryOfStateForDefenceAndMinisterForVeterans.htm
The bloke above – Under Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Veterans, Kevan Jones has just been interviewed by the Pravda 24 totty. It was clear from his replies that he did not have hour-one of military service under his belt and believes that ‘defence’ policy is bound to be embraced by troops because of it’s McTwattian origins. The fellow is a full weight, nodding-dog asshole. Perhaps that fits in nicely with Field Marshal Ainsworth’s elaborate and well thought out programme?
Richard Pendlebury of the Mail who is on the frontline in Helmand with our boys said last night that the majority of our troops are very young and have been in the army for less than 18 months.
In a conversation with one of them yesterday the lad told him ” we don’t care about Afghanistan, democracy, clean water or schools for girls. All we care about now is each other and making sure our mates get out of this alive”
Message to Kev*n Jones – We feel the same way as that too-young young man who should be at Uni or playing snooker with his mates on a Saturday night.

Promise I won’t do it again.
Sorry charles.
Guido thank you for letting the modding go .
Please God that young man that talked to Richard will come home alive. That is my prayer.
And all his mates.
Nell,
It’s always been a young man’s business. I joined at 18. Dying is a hazard of the job you accept but useless kit is not. The gap in effectiveness has to be made up by taking more risks to get the job done. That means more casualties. And I bet no-one is fighting for any policies. It’s about doing your job because other people depend on you and you depend on them.
Dick head ministers and smug troll posters on here have no clue whatsoever.
(apologies for the slight profanity but this makes me very angry)
Excellent post, Sarge. I never served, but many of my family has, and I don’t recall them ever complaining about missing or inadequate kit through the wars with Iceland and the blockade of Rhodesia, NI, the Falklands, Gulf War 1, the former Yugoslavia and any I’ve missed. They complained about the food, though.
I posted on this subject last night (http://order-order.com/2009/07/10/and-the-winner-of-the-caption-contest-is/#comment-190835). The post was long and somewhat pompous but was written in the wake of last night’s news.
The “brothers in arms” motivation of soldiers in war and the alienation and isolation felt on returning home is well documented in our culture. I entirely believe your statement that “no-one [on the battlefield] is fighting for any policies”.
What worries me is that an unpopular government has the potential to further increase the alienation of our fighting forces. With all government policies and ‘achievements’ being denounced and rejected by the public, military goals and strategies, whether sound or not, become polluted in the process. The fifteen deaths of last week become the consequences of a failed government, rather than a noble and courageous sacrifice on behalf of the country.
Does the popularity and political mandate of Obama make the American soldier’s task in Afghanistan easier to bear than that of his British counterpart? Or is all this irrelevant when compared to the horror and pity of war?
Sarge – I enlisted at a similar age what seems like an awfully long time ago now. I still have the same non-DMS hi -top boots I bought, they are so full of OMD-75 and Cherry Blossom that they will last longer than insects.
There are so many things which the MoD has screwed up in these two conflicts, but I think the one which made me most angry was that in light of the WMD justifications and the inclination to caution they should have brought out at Hoon’s department, MBT’s and CVRT with defective or unfitted NBC packs were deployed to theatre.
Subsequent Secretaries have been almost as useless and the one in post now looks like being worse if that’s possible. I’m not sure it’s a role for a politician at all. Maybe someone like Gen. Mike Jackson would do a far better job, with half the manpower and in half the time – after all, he’s been doing it his entire career.
Does the public realise that all the soldiers being sent to Iraq/ Afghanistan buy nearly all their essential items of equipment? All the Tony Blair bollox about supplying everything they need is just that.. Bollox! Average spend per soldier is around 200 quid! And that is out of less than a burger flipper’s wage.
I hear that all troops in Helmand are confined to barracks today. All these recent deaths have become too much of an embarrassment for Brown.
Where is your evidence for this? Unless you can back that up I suggest you piss off mate.
The issue the tragic casulties will bring up is how can we draw down our troops as planned after the mini surge, to do so would mean any ground taken would be lost…
Snide rumours about political interference dont help unless you have evidence, in which case may i suggest you give it to Guido as that is a major story.
Snide rumours about political interference dont help unless you have evidence;
How about lack of funding, poor equipment, naff choppers and too few even of those. That’s also political intereference.
oldrightie what I really want to know is how many of our lads are being injured? – they tell us how many are dying –
but I have a horrible feeling about the lads who are being injured – they give us no numbers and I think it is high.
How do we get that out of this lying,spinning government?
The other issue is – are these injured lads being given the top class medical treatment they need? – because I don’t think they are.
AND borrowing helicopters from USA too! What an embarrassing state of
affairs !
You think they have barracks and venture out on a daily basis?
Cousin is in the Blues and Royals, when they were out there, his ‘Barracks ‘ was a hill top, a trench, and a fucking great bunch of sandbags over the top. A couple of his fellows died on the tour and more were injured.
There are NO BARRACKS! Anything similar to a barracks are occupied bt Italian/ German/ Dutch troops and FAR from danger!
Simple really; equip them for the job, or don’t put them in harm’s way.
They’re just toys to be satified to Gorgoon’s shitty world stage ego
Fuck off Brown.
Short and to the point.
He should go into demolition when we’ve booted him out.
For Chrissakes no – demolition is about removing only that which needs to be removed, not everything within a two-mile radius…
Yanks’ trick from 1945.

Thought Charles E. TWAT had been banned?
He’s such a pathetic Hoon. How anyone can support THIS government is beyond me. It wouldn’t surprise me if his IP address pointed to Downing Street.
He (and all his other pseudonyms, of which there are many generate 20 – 25% of Guido’s porn stats, now you know why he’ not!
He gets banned and switches IPs – life is short.
Gives us something to vent our spleens at, Guido. That, and come up with ever-more inventive ways of saying “piss off”.
So you diagree he/they increase the stats? Count the replies on this topic.
But it seems longer when we are reading his crap
51/154 (including his comment) 30%. Not that I agree with what he says.
Is there any chance we could have Blair back? Could it be worse? Brown seems less to have the Midas touch (if only) and more the shit touch – what a total dork.
But you HAVE got Tony Bliar back….

Economics isn’t just about mathematics. It’s about vision, intuition, and psychology. And that’s pretty much what people have to grasp.
Zen is about opening the heart and mind or, as the ancient Greeks might put it: “happiness is the pursuit of excellence along lines affording scope”. Sound economics and morality is correct action, and only Labour get that.
Labour is the party that makes dreams happen.

Not ‘absolute twaddle’, Mr Hardwidge has neatly summed up the New Labour Mantra: “Sound economics and morality is correct action, and only Labour get that”.
Labour is the party that makes dreams happen =
Rubbish economics and a complete lack of morality, I suspect that is what Mr ‘Hardwidge’ is trying to say albeit in a convoluted and roundabout fashion, its either that or indeed he is a complete nutcase. Then again which Mr Hardwidge are we talking to?.
A dollop of cod philosophy to mix with the cod psychology. Next he will tell us that Brown doesn’t tell lies.
That will be codswallop then.
Open minds create new ideas. Open hearts get along with each other. That’s a win-win and free money on the table. It comes with no guarantees and even if it didn’t work folks wouldn’t be so stressed and chewing the arms off their chairs. Okay, so you’re sceptical. That’s fine – you could always sing a company song instead. LOL.
Q.E.D You are a nutcase!
FFRRRR. ULLOSAILOR! SHOUZYERCOK!
Fuckwidge is typical ZaNulLabour marxoid old school. “If you tell a big lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”
Remarkable. So many words to say fuck all. I congratulate you.
ecnomics without maths is like borrowing without outcomes .
dont dreams happen when your asleep ??,
Economics is not about vision. It’s not about intuition. Zen is not about opening the heart.
You’re a lefty twat, it’s not surprising you get these things wrong.

English wannabe McTwat has slightly overdone the classroom photo op thing. People are starting no notice. It would be great if one of the kids shouted out ‘weirdo’ at him.
I assume McNutter has also been wishing his Engerlund cricket team good luck to try and curry favour with the plebs! Of course as a proper Scot I rejoice in their sustained humiliation.
Can I suggest that those with school-age children teach them the words of that fine Jilted John song and show them a mug shot of Gordie, just in case he turns up in any of their classrooms?
“It would be great if one of the kids shouted out ‘weirdo’ at him.”
That’s a message for parents and children throughout the UK.
Mr Prescott said: “I’ve consulted with lawyers and feel the best way to really establish what the News of the World was really up to is to access the evidence file they paid £700,000 to Gordon Taylor to effectively ’seal’ from the public.”

How about opening up the prepared file on the Rover collapse you fat two timing, tax avoiding lying hypocritical hoon.
Ahhh but that would embarass Labour, McFuckwit, shitti varti and yourself would it not. Double standards or what
Nu labour screwing someone near you. Its in their DNA.

I’m sure prescott has nothing more to hide
either that or he’s an expendable idiot
poor Pauline !
I tend to tune it out as you’re a single issue whiner who just adds to the Tory illusion of popularity. You refuse to acknowledge realities or demand a positive case from the Tories, and that looks highly suspect to me – you’re just another confused and angry man caught up in himself.
Are you old enough to have sex, Charles? If so give Mandy a call, he likes smooth young boys, I’m told. You’d certainly get more from him than blathering on here.
KWAARKK! PISSANT! PISSANT! VIVELEROY!
Single issue whiner? – Have you read your posts recently? From your babble I think I can make out a single issue but it’s a close call.
Big Fat John will NOT take any action against the N of the W……He’ll bluster plenty,but is so adept at ducking and diving and he knows full well that he can not,under any
circumstances,go down that road. Self-survival has always been high on his list
of priorities.
Don’t forget he has the other girlfriend to worry about, the one that he thought was going to hit the press when the Tracey Temple scandal blew up – allegedly.
Prescott cheated on his wife. If he is prepared to deceive his own wife to whom he made oath of fidelity why should he treat us ‘umble members of the public with any more respect?
When I saw his indignant, hypocritical face on Newsnight last week I wanted to throw an egg at it.
Any Tories ever cheated on their partner?

There have been one or two conversations today about education, and it’s obviously something about which people care passionately and hold strong views.
So here’s a question – what, ideally, consitutes a good, rounded, balanced education, giving a good foundation for young people to go out into the big wide world to make their contribution?
The basics – the 3 R’s which this Labour crew abandoned years ago in favour of teaching multi-culturalism and sex education.
Talking of which it was reported yesterday that the £multimillion project launched by Labour to teach sex education and reduce teenage pregnancies had resulted in -……..guess????
Yes… an increase in teenage pregnancies.
A balanced education:
Good basic skills in maths and English (pre-requisite for everything else)
History (and not just Henry VIII and the Holocaust as it seems to be now).
Physics, Chemistry, Biology (not just some generic science thing)
A foreign language ie any European or Far Eastern language (useful + good mental discipline).
Taught broadly, flexibly and engagingly, and incorporating computer skills as a means to do and learn stuff, you should end up with people who both know stuff and know to how to find out more stuff, which are the hallmarks of education IMO.
May I add Geography, Music, Art, a practical subject such as Woodwork, Drama, sporting activity of some sort (not necessarily behind the bike sheds) and some School Trips to broaden the mind and experience.
Engineer!!!! Bike sheds are a thing of the past.
I’ll accept those additions to the curriculum!
Out of the curriculum go:
Citizenship – these issues should be grasped via other subjects
Personal and Social Education – leave it parents or the interweb
Anything that wastes time, resources and could be labelled ‘touchy feely’
And no more multiple choice questions as the main style of testing. Mere regurgitation is no substitute for comprehension.
We do seem to be thinking along very similar lines.
I was hoping to avoid ‘when I was at school’ but hey-ho – here goes. We had a subject called British Constitution which covered the workings of government local and national, and the judiciary. Maybe that should replace “Citizenship”.
I also forgot Scripture – good moral fibre stuff.
I’m shocked about the loss of bike sheds, I learned all sorts…..perhaps we’d better draw a veil…
I would be content to teach Scripture as a literary/historical subject but I don’t think religion has any place in education. It opens the door to too many crackpots and special pleadings, as well as warped science teaching. Definitely something for the parents, not the state, to take responsibility for.
But I would like undergraduates to have a grasp of some of the fundamentals of our culture. I still haven’t recovered from the day when a class of 25 could produce only two students, both mature, who knew the gist of the story of Eden. The rest thought it had something to do with a snake. Maybe.
I would like a clear demarcation between what the school is responsible for teaching and what the family should be taking care of. It would never be perfect, because too many families are a long way from perfect, but it locates transmission of knowledge and thinking skills with the school, and moral and social issues with the family.
British Constitution sounds fine. Knowledge is power, after all, and knowing how the system works is the first stage to getting the bulk of the population engaged with the big picture.

That’s a pretty neat summary of what we’ve got at the moment, but what should we have?
Sorry do you have Short Term Memory? I had an extremley decent Education in this Country that enabled me to make money in whichever Country I chose to live in, also the one thing lacking just now, is Common Sense and the ability to think for oneself!
Your education was presumably, like mine, pre-Nulab. My question was not ‘what have we got now’ but ‘what should we have’.
That has to be the best summation of everything that this Country has become, I could not have put it better myself Sir.

Look, we all know that Gordon is totally fucking useless, but probably a good say 90% of the students condemned to turn up at these institutions established by him and his henchmen, won’t be. It’s those poor bastards we should be thinking about.

No.

Fortunately not, though I wouldn’t put it past the bastard to have sent an hand crayoned fax.
He wished both sides well. Which is why it’s rained off.
Yes, he bats for the other side.

I will ‘level’ with the people about cuts in public spending before election, vows Darling
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1199015/We-honest-public-cuts-public-spending-says-Chancellor.html
Porky alert !!!!
These pfi backed disasters are being rolled out across the uk and into primary too. I’m all for slapping the cosy public sector mentality teachers, but like all privatisations, this is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
In fairness, not all public sector teachers have the ‘cosy public sector mentality’ – have a read of today’s previous threads.
The PFI point is valid, though.
Only those who are unfortunate enough to have experienced the academy adventure. The overwhelming majority of teachers unwittingly drift into a mentality that assumes they deserve the conditions that until now have existed without question. Even offsted and its inspections are sham. The schools are warned and are allowed to prepare, and only a tiny percentage of the necessary actions to improve schools are taken.
My point is good teachers cannot be paid enough and should receive the commensurate conditions, however, there are many thousands of teachers who exist and survive because the system will not root them out, I know quite a few, and a lot of them are heads – who by the way are almost impossible to remove or effectively criticise.
I would agree that not all are good – that’s true of all professions (Lord knows it’s true in my profession) but there must be a minimum standard below which it is not permissable to operate (also true of my profession).
But not all are so self-serving. I would respectfully suggest that many of the best teachers (like MPs) are those who have come to the calling as a second career, and bring experience of other walks of life to the classroom.
I was somewhat startled to learn that head teachers can earn £100k per annum. This seems somewhat excessive, in comparison to the responsibilities and remuneration in other walks of life.
As the value of higher and lower qualifications diminish the quality of applicants diminshes also, particularly, unfortunately in the areas of greatest need. I can speak from personal experience. After being made redundant from the foundry industry I supplemented my hnd to an engineering degree at a local college – that validated degrees from a long standing local redbrick. I can assure youu that piece of paper is is worthless and with it countless thousands that are probably held by their bearers dear. The mathematics requirement was difficult and we were heavily coached to produce assignment answers that satisfied the university. Had there been an exam not one man would ave passed those exams I can assure you.
This qualificaton could easily get me teaching maths or sciences, but I was so ashamed of the fraud I wish I’d never bothered.
I’m genuinely sorry to hear that tale, Escape to Victory. I struggled with the maths content of my degree (early 1980’s) but scraped through. It did mean that later in life, when faced with mathematical content to the job (proving by calculation that high-integrity pipework would continue to operate safely during and after earthquakes, for example) I could cope with the maths confidently. The thought that the subject may be dumbed down is worrying, and is definitely a betrayal of those studying for a worthwhile qualification.
By the way, I read in the engineering press recently that the foundry industry is winning work back from China, on the grounds that lead times are much shorter, technical support much better, and quality much better. It’s too soon to call it a green shoot, and I suspect that expansion of the industry may be some time away, but it is at least a bit of poitive news.
Good luck, wherever life takes you!
PFI *as a concept* is not actually a bad thing.
The idea being that public risk is turned into private risk and the public do not have to come up with large sums up front for capex as happened previously.
HOWEVER this particular government have fucked it up in the biggest way possible. They were so desparate for PFI to succeed, they ended up ensuring that the PFI companies wrote all the key terms and conditions themselves – so if it’s a profitable venture the private company makes a profit and if it’s a lossmaking venture the public takes the loss!
The interest rates for the finance are so outrageous that there’s no risk at all for the developer.
The Tories sell their own ambitions to the electorate but this is a con as you’re never really in the club: they’re too scared to truly open their hearts and minds.
The Tao is very relevant to economic issues and has stood the test of time. But, the controlling and greedy mind cannot grasp this, so it is correct for Gordon Brown to criticise “Tory boom and bust”. The Tories don’t get success and society, and unless they really change they never will.
Ditch the Machiavelli. It’s useless. Read the Tao.
It all started in China.
Read the Tao? Fuck dat I’ll wait for the DVD to come out.
You clueless fucking twat.
p.s.
that was for Charlie Hardwank
If only we had more levels to comment in!
My general view is that the Anglo-Saxon model has failed and procrastinating over this just continues to drive Britain’s broken economic fundamentals even harder into the ground. The Tories would give you even more of the same failed ways so they remain unfit for government.
The party of Toffs, or managers and shareholders, have hijacked the British character of independence and community. They sell their own ambitions to the electorate but this is a con as you’re never really in the club: they’re too scared to truly open their hearts and minds.

Do you actually sleep because you are on this website more than Guido? Perhaps you are a random text generator software-bot.
Gordon has written to Leeds education bosses to praise them for ” the customer service they offer to parents and carers in the city”
I’ve read it twice and still don’t understand it.
Can anyone on here translate it into plain english?
Not worth the effort Nell – it would probably make your head explode.
Customers? I thought they were ‘pupils’ and ‘parents’.
When you’ve been sold, you’re a customer – its language use that also subtly breaks the the bond of public service and common cause, and prepares the way for the total abbregation of the rights of the communal citizen and service for the highest price and the duty to make profit.
Students become learners
Schools become learning centres
Parents become consumers
Standards and values become measureable only on pounds, shillings and pence.
Pounds, shillings and pence – They were the days of REAL learning.
So what do you charge in old money nell? I’ve got a biscuit tin full of old pennies to get rid of.
doctors are now ‘performers’
That’s Leeds done for! I hope they’ve put an amber alert out.
The basic problem is too many people want to “win”. They want to “win” power, but why? They want to “win” peoples loyalties, but why? The City wanted to “win” the “auhtority” and “popularity” of money but they forgot what it was for. This has created a financial crisis that’s been difficult to miss, yet, people still don’t grasp the lessons of it themselves. Thus, they procrastinate on change and lay the foundations for another crisis before the old one has cooled off. Labour is rising to this challenge but the wannabes and chickenhawks can’t see that because they would truly have to change themselves.
Let go, dear. “It’s only a blog.”
Charles – you have an ego. Shut it.
The fuck you know about anything. “The City”. Have you ever been there? Do you know who works in the City and what they do? Any idea who is in Canary Wharf and who is in Mayfair as opposed to the traditional City? Or which city lost the majority of the money that has had to be replaced with public funds?
The answer to the last question is Edinburgh. The answers to the others you will have to find out for yourself, you lazy-minded name-calling party hack.
WHO LET the City “win” Softwidge ? Hmmm ?
Use Google or Wiki to find out who the Chancellor was when the City fucked itself up the arse.
WHO “didn’t grasp the lessons of it themselves” by letting Darling keep the same Tripartite regulatory system that self-evidently failed utterly and thus “lay the foundations for another crisis before the old one has cooled off.” ?
WHO procrastinated about change “Now let the work of change begin,” after Blair fucked off ? Hmmm ? Again, Google is your friend.
And since when did tanking in the Polls mean rising to the challenge ?
You also don’t know what chickenhawk means.
It refers to those who bluster and tubthump for War while staying well behind the frontlines usually without any firsthand knowledge of the Services.
Just like your hero Gordon and Afghanistan.
To be wrong once is unfortunate. To be wrong twice is a bit embarrassing.
To be wrong about everything again and again is a warning that your delusions are clinical and untreatable without powerful anti-psychotic drugs.
Do you actually know what the term ‘chickenhawk’ means? An old fashioned term would be ‘pederast’. So those who don’t support the New Labour project are wannabes and aggressive pederasts. Charming.
Chickenhawk.
1. Older male who seeks the company or favours of an younger male. The term has homosexual overtones.
2. A politician or other person who promotes war without having had any personal experience of it; especially those who have avoided the experience.
1. Henry, the old chickenhawk, hit on the boys at the college again today.
2. That draft-dodging chickenhawk has no business sending our children to war.
This is a Political website. It’s meaning in Politics is clear. And was used again and again For George W. Bush and his many NeoCon advisors who tubthumped for War with little or no combat experience. Colin Powell was in the opposite Camp of these chickenhawks and wanted to pursue a more diplomatic stance but was over-ruled.
It’s merely worth pointing out that Softwidge is utterly clueless on the meaning without muddying the waters for him even more and confusing the poor delusional twat into a psychotic episode P.T. Barnham.
So that covers Jonah both ways.
Well, you learn something every day! I’ve only ever heard the word in a gay context. Wonder who had the word first, gays or the military?
Don’t ask don’t tell.

Chief Medical Oficer is spinning like mad tonight to take public attention away from the disaster that is developeing in Afghanistan saying
” We musn’t panic about the Swine Flu epidemic” Don’t worry we aren’t. -actually I hadn’t thought about it in days until he mentioned it.
Afghanistan is on my mind – which of course he and his master gordon knows -How many men have we lost ? How many more have been injured?
Interesting comment he made re swine flu ” It is not known how many in the UK are suffering from swine flu because most are traeting themselves at home”
Reliable Labour statistics then!
I tried phoning the Swine Flu Helpdesk but there was too much crackling on the line.
Naughty, naughty, Sir William. That was a porky pie.
Sorry! But I bet that was the truth!

Gay Gordo says hello, little boy.
I cannot agree that Gordon is gay. He’s as gloomy as a cold wet Monday morning in February when you have a hangover and are stuck in a five-mile tailback in a car that smells of cat sick with Chris Moyles gibbering on the radio like the fatarsed ignorant aphasic twat he is, late for a meeting that the boss told you was ‘make or break’ and worrying why you couldn’t get it up last night, only worse.
Are you a giver or a receiver?
Is there any chance of me me getting in to that playground again?
Springs Academy was formed when the Sheffield Labour Council under the leadership of one D Blunkett (whatever happened to him) forced two schools to merge. One was Hurlfield a dump of an ex-secondary modern school and a failure the other being Ashleigh at the time a comp but which used to be a technical school and was one of the top three schools in Sheffield. To no ones great surprise the managed to create one huge failing school which is known locally as “Slasher Academy” after a pupil was slashed in the face during a classroom fight. Now parents in the area who care about their children have to send them to schools miles across the city to avoid the dump.
Labour always f**k up whatever they touch !
Yes I’m sorry but that is true . Education has been destroyed under this Labour Government.
The same is true of the NHS in many areas .
And look what they have done for our our military in Afghanistan?
This government is turning everything it touches into DROSS!!!!
It’s a feat of genius, merging two schools together and creating one gigantic educational disaster.
Time for bed.
Dear God please keep our lads in Afghanistan safe
Good Night. God Bless!
You’re clinging to a lot of clutter and negativity. This is shaping your perspective and how you perceive and interact with the world. This may be why you understand nothing and rail against everything.
There is a flow to time, the pluses and minuses that make us up, and it all flows through now and into the future. The important thing is now. Everything in the past has gone forever and the future hasn’t even arrived yet.
By dropping all clinging to ideologies and sentiments the self is less dictated by these things, and external thoughts and feelings are less likely to wrench you around in a fit of misery. Thus, one is more in contact with the world, self, and reality.
WTF?
You’re so right Charles. Of all those who blog on this forum, you’re the most informed and intelligent.
One merely has to breathe in this blog and the habitual and reactive Tories go off like firecrackers. Simply, by typing words on the screen like, say, “Gordon Brown is a genius”, has you lot going purple faced and ripping the arms off your chairs in a fit of Dickensian style rage.
More seriously, it’s a general fact that people attack their enemies at what they perceive to be their own weak spots, so all the wall of criticism Labour are getting says more about the Tories than anything else, and that’s not even counting how Cameron has overinflated his own stock price.
Looking at Gideon Osborne the other week I was struck by how he gave the impression of someone who’d say anything he was instructed to, and how he puffed up as he felt more dominant during a conversation. His eyes were blazing with the anticipation of power.
Scary bunch, Tories.
OK, so you’re not the most informed or intelligent.
Yup! Good point Charlie. Having read your convincing post I have this overwhelming urge to go out and vote Labour. Shame Brown denies me this.
Hardwidge, you are mentally ill. You need professional help.
I would be pleased to be of service.
Labour Maths GCSE..
One good school + one shit school = One big shit of a school
Sadly – true.
Right on! Charles of bullshit… love it, you give us hope, the more crap your brain (however strangely arranged or programmed) spews out will convince the remaining Labour voters to vote for any body, or thing, but Labour… keep it up!
I’ve just been watching that BBC2 documentary about the aftermath of the French revolution.
It seems that psychopathic dictators from Robespierre to Mao to Stalin to Hitler all love to be photographed with young children. Gordon Brown is carrying on the tradition.
Brown is turning into Caligula.
He’s already made his rocking horse into a Senator.
He’s made a Trojan Horse Business Secretary.
Who the fuck is in charge right now??!
The similarities between Brown and Robespierre were quite scary – in particular the paranoia and the use of a small clique to govern. Also, generals seen as political enemies (see Steve Expat’s post below).
I don’t know McMental’s date of birth (Possibly 6/6/6), or when his birthday is but I hope he pours himself a large glass of lemonade, or whatever else a son of the manse might drink, and goes over infront of a large mirror to admire what a fine specimin he is, and wishes himself ‘Goodheath and years ahead to get on with the job’
That should do the trick
Offtopic I know, but the Sunday Times tomorrow are leading with:
Labour clashes with army as Afghan death toll mounts
Senior Labour figures last night accused the head of the army of playing politics as he warned that there were too few troops and helicopters in the Afghan war zone.
One minister expressed fury that General Sir Richard Dannatt, the chief of the general staff, had attended a private dinner with Tory MPs and suggested an extra 2,000 troops were needed in Helmand province.
The general’s remarks put him at odds with the official government line that the 9,000 British troops already in Afghanistan are sufficient to cope with the current offensive.
A Labour minister said: “General Dannatt has crossed an important line. He is playing a high-risk game.”
David Crausby, a Labour member of the Commons defence committee, added: “It is not appropriate to play party politics at this time. Dannatt should just get on with the job. After the conflict if there are lessons to be learnt we should do so in a considered manner.”
Eight British soldiers died in a single 24-hour period last week, with a total of 15 losing their lives in 10 days.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6689952.ece
Obviously Liebour think that playing politics in Afghanistan means more than
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN, may they rest in peace +
FUCK YOU LIEBOUR, GENERAL ELECTION PLEASE!
There are no depths to which Labour will not sink. The lives of our soldiers and the security of this country mean nothing to them. Vile, decadent, despicable, lying bastards.
Yes. A general election and an enquiry into Labour’s handling of the Iraq AND Afghanistan wars.
A War and Economic Crimes trial for Bliar, Bruin and the rest of the Liebour pondlife, NOW
Yes please! I will prepare the Lamposts myself.
Ancient Chinese wisdom from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu:
Chapter 60
========
Governing a large country
is like frying a small fish.
You spoil it with too much poking.
Center your country in the Tao
and evil will have no power.
Not that it isn’t there,
but you’ll be able to step out of it’s way.
Give evil nothing to oppose
and it will disappear by itself.
=========
Your perception of what’s happening in Afghanistan is seriously skewed.
Perhaps you should relax and you might see things clearly.
Charles. What I see is that the politicians neither really know why we are there nor what are our objectives in the conflict. Whenever they are asked they give a different answer.
The new defence sec has never served a day in his life, meanwhile more and more of those who have are driven through Wooton Bassett with Full Honours – with not a Minister of State in sight.
It is almost unheard of for the Top Brass of the military to openly criticise the government of the day, they are after all there to follow the wishes of Her Majesty’s elected representatives.
That Dannat has chosen to do so shows just how desparate he thinks the situtation is for his men. The LibDems broke political ranks last week, let’s hope Dave has the balls to do the same this week…
Bloody modded again, let’s just say that Dannatt would not have broken ranks and spoken out if he were not absolutely desparate about the situation.
True, as the latest reports from the front and the rising bodycounts show – but all you hear out of Westminster is the NuLab bitches screaming at Danat to get back in line. I’m an old lefty but it’s getting to the point where I would welcome a military coup against this corrupt, stupid and malicious government.
Correct!!
Enough said really
apparently it is Dannatt according to the Labour spin machine that is going into “dangerous territory”
Mmmmmmm…I thought it was the people he was leading that did that…
and died
‘Charles’, at a moment of high emotion last night, you confessed to nell that you “did not do debate”. It was as close as I have yet seen you come to an apology for your posts. Please consider carefully whether your partisan disruption tactics are appropriate when discussing the death of our servicemen.
See my post 267, you troll.
Show some respect to our armed forces. Jeez.
Stet
Afghanistan is Brown’s Iraq and will further collapse his miniscule popularity and shatter whatever pitiful remnants of a voting base the Labour Party still had into oblivion.
Telling people to “relax” over a calamitous deathtoll that has overtaken Iraq is yet more proof that you are in dire need of psychiatric treatment.
Brown is not on the front lines and pretending he can shake this off with empty jingosim is pathetic. Brown is not the armed forces. He is one Poltician.
If you don’t know the difference between an entire Army and one hugely unpopular Politician then you are far too far gone to do little more than dribble on your keyboard weeping gently as your idol Brown gets ever more despised by the general public.
Your constant attention seeking, embarrassing narcissism, manifest delusions, the childlike urge to deflect and seek solace in magical thinking and the mood swings you display here would be acted on immediately in a clinical setting with heavy doses of anti-psychotics.
It’s only a matter of time before you finally crack completely & self-harm.
The Samaritans are only a phone-call away Charles. Do yourself a favour and seek out the help you so desperately need instead of being an embarrassing public spectacle of derangement writ large on this blog.
Did Ainsworth let slip that Labour is disgraceful re our armed forces? Darling has Brown’s measure, Brown kicks asbestos victims in guts and moral turpitude no barrier in Labour
8 soldiers dead, Brown. You and useless Bob will not be forgiven for this.
I had my first bad dream in ages last night. Everyone in the dream looked like Cameron dressed up in his Bullingdon togs, and they were invisible horse skipping around the place and shouting “Rupert! Rupert! Rupert!” at each other. Scary stuff.
The CBI and the Tories need to get over their risk averse and anti-social tendencies, which is why I don’t believe the Tories have changed or are anywhere near ready for government. Only Labour is looking ahead of the curve and safeguarding peoples stake in the economy.
Did somewhere hear a buzzing sound?
Whatever you do Guido..please don’t bar Chuckie boy from here.
He is deliciously hilarious ..if only because his pseudo cut and paste intellectualism is so transparent that my dog is sounding more like Einstein every day.
Luv ya Charlie..keep up the good work and keep us all amused.
“A Labour minister said?”
Fondle bootom we all know that its you
POISONOUS OLD POOF
We are an item
This blog never had any pretensions to be anything else other than dumbed down. Otherwise it would not be so popular.
Charles is up late tonight. His wanking hand must be sore. Repetitive strain injury.
People say that I’m out get Labour re-elected.
But am I supporting Labour or painting them into a corner? Am I opposing the Conservatives or giving them hotshot tips to raise the bar? When you take a step back like that things don’t seem so certain. Consider, say, my pitching of the “Brown Doctrine” versus your own support for Cameron busting his own stock.
Who is conning who? What am I really saying? Whose side am I really on? Does saying nothing mean saying everything? Does saying everything mean nothing? Am I who you think I am? Are you who you think you are? Is right, wrong? Is death, life? Really, dear. You must stop clinging to these illusions. They don’t mean a thing.
There’s that buzzing sound again. Wonder what it is?
Woof woof
woof=bark howl 2
Grasshopper! Is that you?
Raise your game, Charlie boy. When your posts link back to labour.org, your bias is pretty obvious.
Who gives a fuck?
One thing is certain: you’re an annoying twat who should fuck off back to LabourBollox.org .
Guido :Draper may have returned i think he has somthing to do with harepersons northern representaion propoasals .
The chorely chortler may be back in spin game anonymously or via third party
Brown has probably a very impractical and cloistered view of Education.
He spent, 15 years completely surrounded by academia and not much else: from the age of 16 (when he joined University), till the age of 32, when he finally decided to find out what real life was about – by joining Parliament.
What topic, for example did he use to broaden his mind for his higher degree thesis? THE LABOUR PARTY.
Once you’ve learned about something till you can recite its shibboliths in your sleep – to go and work for them afterwards bears sign of an altogether unhealthy possession.
Someone earlier said that economics was an exercise in Zen. I tend to agree when looking at the results of Gordon’s unselfish day-stint working the tills of Great Britain Stores LTD. Pity they are now stuffed with IOU’s.
It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig farmer
The pig man takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town’s prostitute that in these hard times, gave her “services” on credit.
The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.
At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and
takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms,
and leaves town.
No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the UK Government is doing business today
Quite superb my good man, quite superb.
The Production Manager of a Company in trouble takes ‘The Plan for Recovery’ to the Shop Steward for approval
The Shop Steward looks at it and replies that it is a crock of shit and it will kill the Company
The Production Manager sends a memo to his General Manager saying that the Union thinks ‘The Plan’ stinks …
..The General Manager reports to the Director that ‘The Plan’ is seen to be like fertiliser,and that green shoots will soon appear…
..The Director reports to the CEO that ‘The Plan’ has universal approval for its ability to ensure Company growth..
..The CEO is pleased…and ,thus, ‘The Plan’ became ‘Policy’.
With apologies to IMD Lausanne for a very poor regurgitation of your parable many years ago.
No, our situation is much more chilling because, at some point in the cycle in UKPLC, one of the recipients of the 100 Euro note nips down to Moneygram and sends it to family in a far off land. The 100 euro note cannot be replaced on the desk so the tourist demands an IOU from the hotelier or takes a valuable item from the hotel in recompense.
Poster bunnco on politicalbetting.com reports that UKIP posters in the Norwich North by-election are being defaced with the slogan “B’N'P’ for Pussies”.

Brown is trying to hide his “report card” from the British people. As Nell said send him and his “little Hitler” to Helmand Province for their summer holidays and they will soon get the message loud and clear. The night of the long knives is on the horizon for Brown, the Labour Party Conference, can’t wait!
Just tell him they are holding another G8 conference in some exotic location and divert his plane to Afghanistan. Then they can have a G7 meeting without the snotgobbling party pooper.
I’m amazed that former members of the armed forces still are able to resist grabbing a Barrett and shoving it down the throat of every single fuckpig labour politician that sends their comrades into that shitstorm ill equiped and thus doomed. Dear Labour Party you are all shitbags, every single fucking one of you. Please die…now.
I am NOT!! I am a middle England – floating voter – who always votes Tory.
