Lord Sugar v Quentin Letts
Lord Sugar is threatening to sue Quentin Letts for calling him stupid and for
suggesting that he only got his peerage and government job because he is a TV personality. Sugar’s lawyers, Herbert Smith, sent Quentin a menacing letter talking about putting the matter before a “jury of his peers”.
The threatened suit is against Letts personally, not LBC (where he made the comments). An interesting little tactic, designed no doubt to frighten other journalists. (Guido is used to this kind of sabre-rattling, dead tree press hacks are more delicate than rough bloggers).
If things do reach court Quentin promises to call as witnesses Brown and Mandelson as the two most likely to know and thus be able to say why Sugar really got his job. Quentin doesn’t think he would have any alternative but to summon them to the witness stand. That should be fun.
Quentin’s sharp tongue does seem to be upsetting politicians, there were calls for him to be thrown out of the press gallery for being rude about MPs. Which is precisely why Guido thinks it is worth showing solidarity with Quentin.
Baron Sugar of Shortarse, you are stupid and the only reason you got your peerage is because you are a telly celebrity. If you weren’t stupid you would realise we all know your chair is raised up in the boardroom so that you don’t look like the chippy, midget tycoon that you really are.
Good old Quentin, I am on his side 100%
If you go into politics, you have to have a very thick skin, like I do.
Guido, thank you for the small steps already taken regarding the “Charles Software Program” and you have until 1 September to display IP numbers on all posts otherwise I shall be seeking advice re potential “incitement” as per our earlier conversation.
Paedo, if you’re not enough of a man to take it, find a smaller sandpit to play in.
Your immature and irrelevant contributions to Guido space lower the tone and pollute the aether. You never address the debating points, you just repeat your banalities and witless slogans. It is painfully obvious that you fail to understand either the point of this blog, or indeed the often interesting and sometimes profound points raised by some of the contributors. I could overlook this if you were amusing and original, but contrary to your deluded self-aggrandising, you are neither of those things.
Oh – and please don’t piss in the gene pool on your way out.
Are you a poof ?
cant get thicker than Spurs supporter
Except you
London Muslim is, of course, not at all motivated by religious bigotry towards his jewish brethren, including Sir Alan Shortarse, who stereotypically support Spurs…
LM,
You can now eat mermaids!
http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/103991/mermaids
AC One #360 6.19pm – thank you for that link – best laugh in ages. They really are nuts, aren’t they? But there’s a serious message too.
Readers fond of a dip in the briny might wish to ponder doing so within reach of a hungry Muslim:-
‘Many of the fuqaha’ mentioned mermaids and differed on the ruling concerning them. Some of them said that they are permissible (to eat) because of the general meaning of the evidence which says that whatever is in the sea is permissible.’
So, if you’re in the sea, the fuqaha’ (sic) reckon you’re fair game to the bearded sons of the desert.
You have been warned.
Of course you can eat mermaids – the problem is getting their pants off.
that’s true unless of course you believe that celestial virgins will service you if you try to blow up half the world!
Sugar’s going the way of ‘Lord’ Archer… suing everything that moves.
Let’s hope he doesn’t end up in jail (or something).
Aye
it didn’t take long for Sugar to start throwing his weight ( 6ounces) about
LETT us hope he does end up in jail on permanent shower duty
179- If he does he `ll get his arse reamed and be given a proper shave and haircut. What a waste of time/space stupid titchy fuck pig.
Im keeping my fingers crossed that he does. Having met and worked for the skumbag in real life I can say hes found hes true home in politics after years of living off the back of hardworking and badly payed employees.
Or Mandleson does not end up in him!!
I love Quentin Letts, he is by far the cleverest and funniest of political journalists. All power to his elbow, he’ll make mincemeat out of stupid pompous people like sugar et al. Go for them Quentin!
I second that. A very fine fellow, Mr Letts, with a handy marlin-spike for bursting pomposity. He it was who coined the name “Gorbals Mick” for the execrable, fat, Scotch moron who more than any other man, perhaps, has been responsible for dragging the reputation of the Commons to its present benthic level.
Can we set up a fighting fund? Sugar is such a ghastly vulgarian that he deserves to be made to look even more conceited and absurd than he already is (if such a feat is possible).
Sad but true.
He has his moments of course but half the time he is making pretty good obsevationial comedy while the other half has you feeling sorry for the poor man as he can be toecurlingly embarrassing.
His “comedy turns” on This Week are proof of that.
Letts is very like Boris. Yes he’s very funny but alas much of the time we are laughing at him and his ludicrous Bertie Woosteresque antics, not with him.
Alan Sugar is very low hanging fruit as was the former Speaker.
I expect my satire to be biting but I also expect it to have a point and be clever. Quentin all too often just a resembles a gossipy biitch and as amusing as that can be it’s often as vulgar as those he seeks to lampoon.
Methinks 803 doth protest too much!
Hoggart was far more funny and intelligent putting the boot into the speaker than ickle Quentin ever was or could be.
Though if you think “you are stupid” is dazzling satirical wit I can see why Letts would appeal to you. Vulgar or what ?
“… midget …. that you really are”
err – Steady the Ship, Senor Guido
Not all of us are born to be Tall
It can be hard on a Man to be either too Short or excessively High
AND doesn’t Alcohol over the years reduce your Height
How will you feel when in just 20 years or so, you’ve shrunk in tallness and you find your Children are physically looking down on you
The man merely told the truth. I doubt that any such action would be a success, but I’m sure Guido could be sued at the same time – a ‘two for one deal’ with the lawyers.
And it is WITNESS BOX, not ‘stand’. That is an Americanism.
Agreed…Silly bugger, he can dish the shit out, but doen’t like it thrown back at him. Letts is doing what any good political reporter should do. Send the buggers up & prick ‘em where it hurts. Their pride.
But didn’t it all start there? In America, m’lud.
Oh Dear… More ‘Hissy Fits’ from Our Lords a Leaping!!
Oh I do hope that McRuin and Our Liege Lord Meddlesome are called as ‘Witnesses’. It would be good to see, hear our alleged ‘Secret Leader’ and Blokleiter Mr Mendacious been made to ‘Swear an Oath’…hehehehe
..and to tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth… So help Ye…
Its all reminiscent of scenes from the ‘Mad Hatters Tea Party’.
Swear an oath not worth a toss!
Sugar wants a trial before a “jury of his peers”?
I thought trials before the full House of Lords went out years ago.
Letts is a typical pompous public school boy who makes a name for himself by being rude. Had it coming
Unlike Sugar, Mandy & Co.?
Got something against Public Schools have we?
Mummy & daddy send you to the local comprehensive?
Clearly you were a deprived child and have grown into a deprived adult.
Deprived of brain cells that is.
Yes what a whiner anon is, can’t even give himself a name.
you public-school prick
and he’s bitter.
Seems he or she hates anyone that went to public school – pretty ignorant to make such a sweeping generalisation really. More than enough to make any comments instantly ignorable and disposable.
Bet he like Tony Blair though, Huhnes like this are too thick to think things through.
Post 53: maybe his parents loved him unlike your breed who happily cart of their sprogs for years of bedwetting ang anal rape. Tell me do you still have problems relating to women. Common problem amongst your ilk. Oh and the pain of abondonment and buggery… Does it stil haunt you??
There’s no such thing as a “typical” public schoolboy, unless you of course you have a chip on your shoulder.
BTW. Your name says it all. Anonymous= Annoying mouse.
ur real name is of course Dippy ness ???
133: It is “your” unless you mean the city in Mespotamia.
Had what coming? Titch yapping a bit?
Out of interest can anyone name a goat who didn’t just take the ermine and then fuck off 18 months later?
Fuck off you labour twat
Letts, disregarding the fact he may, or may not have attended a private or grammar school, tells it honestly. I am in his corner.
Had what coming? A chance to take the piss out of all these corrupt bastards in open court? Bring it on.
… but he’s a laugh, isn’t he?
Letts is still much better than those other pompous public school boys in the HOC
Letts went to a Grammer School.
ergo,bing back gammar schools
Are you Gordon Brooon or Mandy by any chance??????????
bggr off . letts is brilliant
Quentin Letts is a very decent fellow. I believe he was in fact being rather kind by describing sugar as stupid.
in my view the man is a total fucking cretin.
well done Quentin.
good work sir.
He is a nice chap. Knew his parents…..opps my age is showing…:-(
Dips, don’t be ashamed of your age. It should be worn as a badge of pride.
Why is it that I find myself agreeing with you yet again? Must be something in the water…
me 2
One lump or two?
Lord Sugar:
- got his knighthood because he is a Labour donor
- got his knighthood because he is a celebrity and Labour, having profound contempt fot the public, think that if they bring celebrities into their ranks the public will vote for them
- is a chippy, unpleasant little squirt
-whose electronic products were shite. (In the 70s/80s you hoped that your parents wouldn’t consign you to the Siberia of street cred by buying you an Amstrad music centre)
Don’t forget the emailer – like a cast off from the 1960s Star Trek props department. Sugar kept on plugging it despite all the evidence that nobody wanted the bloody thing. He IS stupid. Incredibly so.
Sugar would have also gone bust back in the late 80s were it not for Sky asking Amstrad to provide all their set top boxes.
Why did they ask him? Couldn’t have had anything to do with him being the chairman of what was then considered to be one of the big English football clubs could it? Directors of some of the other big clubs wanted the rights to go to ITV rather than Sky, which would have meant the public not being so severely fleeced as they ended up being when they want to watch some footy on the telly. It was only ever going to be good for Sky’s bid to have the Spurs chairman on board.
He’s a chancer and a moron who has found success way beyond his abilities – rather like our current government, so is it any surprise they want to get him involved?
tevor booking, is that you,annabelle,cs i know how much you hate arsenal
Hi Nell, you know an awful lot about politics but not about football. The person whose name I’ve nicked was a seriously cool England and West Ham player of the 70s and 80s. Like most Hammers I hate Arsenal a very little bit but nowhere near as much as I hate Spurs, hence the double vitriol against the Labour arsewipe Sugar. I’m a bloke and not called Annabelle.
Enough already. I demand satisfaction with you, sir. White Hart Lane at dawn; pistols.
Neutral ground please – the Emirates will do nicely. Home of the only proper club in North London. Spurs are even worse than my lot.
Full crowd then
Lord Sugar of what?
Lord Sugar of how to build a portable computer that needed a Royal Marine or Para with the strenght to carry it.
Lord Stansted of Typo
I am on the only LORD on this blog
Lord Kinelpus!
Brown’s little spoon of Sugar.
Lord Brown Sugar. Or Lord Sugar with added Molasses.
is that Halal?
Maybe not Halal, but definitely HaHa.
Drop a few quid in the Labour Party Overdraft and you too can have a Peerage.
All these unelected Know-it-alls who proported to run Our country.
198 LM – he’s definitely kosher, so by extension he’s most likely halal as well.
Demerara
Lord Sugar is not only stupid he has got almost out of control since landing the peerage from his pals Brownarse and Mandlearse. Good on Letts. Let’s have some more.
Indeed. Say it again Quentin
I’m not up to speed with dead-tree-lamestream politics but last I saw, Quentin might say all the right things but he still doesn’t ‘get’ the big picture….
However, this geezer does and it would do us all good to watch it a couple of times – ESPECIALLY THE LIKES OF SIR ALAN AND LORD FONDLEBUM OF BUOYS and his Lisbon pushing/EU superstate/zanuliebore pals:
Guido – get back to your holiday (missing you – just a tad you understand as I have a full diary, full calendar and bulging address book full of like-minded conspirasists…..not).
Ouch!
Is it just me…. or does anyone else hearing the term “Baron Sugar” always want to add the line “Just like a young girl should”….?
I am willing to pay into a fighting fund for Quentin to fight this and to take out his own legal challenge to Sugar and his law firm for clearly threatening and bullying behaviour to stifle freedom of expression
Me too, anything for Quentin!
How tall is wee Sugar?
Put it this way – he has to have turn-ups on his underpants.
Better than turning up on the web in your underpants I guess.
You should see me sat here, unshaven and in me Y-fronts.
We are! And its not pretty!
Oi thats our Job !
ummmm… nice…
Rollups
There are no Britain-only or Europe-only or America-only solutions to today’s problems. We are all in this together, and we can only resolve this crisis together. In the next few weeks, Labour will show the same resolve and spirit of cooperation to create the rules for our new global economy. If we do this, 2009 will be remembered not just as a year of financial crisis but as the year we started to build the world anew.
Be still, grasshopper.
CHE
We are divided by your beloved inhuman and inhumane Identity Politics, and therefore ruled by EVIL. Therefore we are most surly all in the shit together, but must get out of it all by our little own selves, YET AGAIN.
I do not work for your so called society, I work for my children, people I know by first names, and my family. If our ruling class stopped for once trying to get us to sacrifice our own precious existence for people who care for nothing but themselves, ( for example Middle-Eastern WARS ) we would never have got ourselves into this mess in the first place.
Read it and understand, or carry on making a complete tit of yourself. Your choice is yours, as my choice is mine.
BTW
If you really genuinely care so very much for people you don’t, and never will know, ( for example THE RULING CLASS ) why have you not given all of your private property, and time, to Oxfam or some other establishment controlled, criminally inclined organization?
please provide evidence & details of assertion relating to Oxfam.
Thanks.
I am sure that Charles is really one of our own libertarians from
http://llibertarianalliance.wordpress.com
and is someone like Sean Gabb in deep disguise,
and who is only doing this stuff here under deep cover in order to really wind up the gramscoFabiaNazis by appearing to support them.
Such a phenomenon would not be unknown on this blog, Mr D. Some time ago a certain “Bhownaggree” fulfilled the selfsame function. Subsequently it was discovered that he is none other than a close adviser to St Cameron of Dave. His postings ceased, but not before a host of faux-Bhownaggrees arose, all spouting similar tosh, one of whom reached giddy heights of purple praise for his idol, Brown; even likening Blair to John the Baptist.
Excellent stuff for a winter evening.
eh, line and length – ah’d move Gramsci from deep cover to silly point mahself… wot d’ya think, Karlers?
Recession? Best thing that could’ve happened, actually.
Britain needs to get over itself. w00t! w00t! w00t!
Man, I’m LOVIN’ this recession! Bring it on. O_O
Be still, grasshopper.
arev you a labour troll,or just taking the piss,cos if not you’re a total fuckwit
we’ve been doing it for years
only need a ruler instead of tape measure
Dunno, but I see he was duly admired by – inter alia – Leon “Brittan” during his celestial investiture in the House of Cronies a few weeks ago.
Well I happened to be the in Crowne Plaza St James when he strutted by – seems they were interviewing would be Apprentices. I was sitting at the time, but my first thought was “gosh there a really short guy who looks like Sugar.” We are talking mini-me here. I am thinking 5 feet and maybe a couple of inches.
These wankers:
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=793587
think he’s 66 inches* tall. However, that forum is infested with Beeboids so who really knows?
* [For some reason and in some mysterious circumstances, Guido's software reformats properly denoted heights. But not always: 5'6". That was OK. WTF is going on I know not.]
Yep Alan Sugar, the one with the mother fixation IS STUPID and got his peerage only because he is a TV celebrity and a thick one at that. Mummy knew that too!
AH (C)
Arfur when you wuz at school and said you wanted to be a comedian, they larfed at ya.
Now you call yourself a comedian, they’re not larfin now are they?
Remember the Coventry bedsit?
The dragon with flatulence! How could I forget.
I thought I was the one with the short fat hairy legs!
Spurs!
He fronts a programme which started in America. The original Apprentice was fronted by Donald Trump.
Another person with a habit of being bankrupted by property investment.
and a third rate version of the US version too.
can’t take Sugar seriously after watching Trump do it right.
you’re fired – mini-tosser.
And Trump’s hairstyle was better
Great! I can’t wait to have a day out in court. I must polish my shoes.
BTW, I had to lay into Mad Hatty again this morning after she failed to say anything on the Marr show. Please pile in with your bile…
My Lord
I thought she was bigging you up on the ‘Marr isn’t here’ show. She was obviously frightened to death of saying anything that might upset you.
Dear Mrs Trellis
Indeed she did, but then she always does because she is hoping to be my number two come the great day. Not a hope! I have a rather lovely PPS in mind to sit at my right hand…
Much Love (to all except the ghastly Hatty)
Mandy
How sweet of you to use the ‘much love’ closing. I thought that was reserved for correspondence between yourself and Derek Draper, my Lord.
Stephanotis said (archly) that “Andrew was on holiday… in the West Country” just so we didn’t get enraged again about troughing Beeboids.
Which ‘west country’? Barbados, Mustique, Florida, Yucatan?
Does Shortarse use an extended ladder to clamber on to his chair?
Don’t be silly, he has his slaves lift him up.
Isn’t he raised up through his own emminence and self importance?
Isn’t he raised up by own self-importance and elevated emminence?
Haha brilliant! But by the time it gets to court, Mandy will be PM….
I think you got the letters the wrong way round – he might be MP but he will (thank all the gods) never be PM!! [Haven't you seen the latest Sunday Telegraph survey of key marginals with the Tory lead at 24% ?]
Don’t be silly he is PM already – P for Peter, M for – any version of Mandelson you care to choose.
I doubt if Sugar’s height is necessarily a reason to dislike him or a reason for for the lack of intelligence you ascribe to him.
He might well be an almighty twat.
But don’t we need to provide better evidence than size?
I have some personal statistics is that will help. 90% of all short people I have worked with were twats.
Thanks for that Dave.
I think you know where I stand on this .
I am not a midget either, I am almost five feet tall.
Yes 90% of shortarses are indeed twats, the other 10% are twits.
This blog is not so much un-PC as downright nasty. It is merely a coincidence that Alan Sugar is an ugly opinionated twerp, a crap performer who is carried by a strong programme (he can’t even point at people properly, have you noticed?) and a stupid man who only got his job because he is a TV personality AND is short.
the short arsed twat equates shouting with informed comment…
A lot of short men feel the need to compensate for their dimunitive stature by being overly-aggressive and “in yer face”. Like terriers. They also go for big cars and tall women (Ecclestone, Bercow ..).
They personally led the way in the fashion for those awful platform shoes which were worn in the Seventies. A pity though – it didn’t help them as normal sized people also wore them as well so the was no difference: they were still looked down on.
I do not normally frequent this cyberhighway noticeboard or messageboard thingy, whatever it is, and have found myself here quite by accident.
However I am glad I am here as I have spotted a super new inequality that we can legislate about.
I speak of course of the obnoxious and spiteful ‘shortism’ in evidence in this unpleasant topic chain.
I now intend to add a new section to my Unequal Uniformity Bill, so all British Caucasians of average or excessive height will soon find themselves at a legal disadvantage to our short brothers and sisters, which is only fair.
Now, where’s my next red box?
You’re sitting on it.
If you didn’t scratch so, it wouldn’t be so red.
Damian’s Capillaries said: “They also go for big cars and tall women (Ecclestone, Bercow ..). ”
I didn’t know Ecclestone had fallen for Bercow. And I certainly didn’t know Bercow was tall. Well, you live and learn.
I thought he got his job because he was a mate of Gordon?
But!! Meanwhile
MORE fresh expensesgate allegations! Harman more patronising than ever! Brown told to quit! Mandelson asked to become MP!
This is going to be quite a recess, I think…
Abcess, shurely ?
Boiling, certainly.
Does not Bernie Ecclestone, another Oompa-Loompa, have considerably more money than the spiv and was very popular in 1997?
Siralan has LMS

little man syndrome
A man, small in stature, who attempts to overcome the way he believes other people perceive him (as a diminuative character) by 1) attaching himself to authority figures, 2) trying to manipulate himself into positions of control, 3) migrating toward positions of leadership, and 4) having a fairly volatile temper.
How tall is Fondelbottom?
Tall enough to be noticed too often.
Chips with everything!
Leiomyosarcoma ??
Amstrad released an E3 videophone not so long ago. They put Linux on it. But they clearly didn’t read the simple small print. They didn’t release the source code for their version of the kernel. High-up managers also denied they needed to when first contacted, so it looks like cock-up over conspiracy. However, once they realised what a cock-up it was they did everything they could to avoid complying and never have to this day.
The problem is, you see, that the E3 is sold at a discount because they charge you a weekly amount just for owning it. It does this by phoning their phone line. But, with the Linux kernel source it would have been legally possible to stop this happening. Suddenly, they’re flogging subsidised hardware where the owner is legally allowed to replace the software that gives them the after-sales revenue. Classic! Wonder what Alan Sugar on his high-chair would have thought of that in the boardroom.
You seem to be on the wrong site old boy. Please go to http://www.anotherboringHuhne,com
Why didn’t they use a version of BSD instead like Apple do? Do your research, Sugar, you hoon!
Sugar – da da da da – Hoony Hoony (etc)
Since what Letts and Guido are saying is factualy correct I don’t quite see the grounds for action.
Since when did anybody with close connections to with this farce of a Government, need grounds to do anything?
Defence against slander: “fair comment”. I rest m’Lud.
Writing as someone who ‘Lord’ Sugar made a V sign to I think he is a rude, shallow personality who is probably going to be used by Labour more than he intends to use them. I don’t think he is stupid though.
You am Arsenal supporter?
No, a road user. Sugar was in a gold Rolls Royce in Tottenham at the time. He seemed to be amused as the (stunned) reactions his gestures caused.
Tasteful. Little men always seem to go for big cars.
A gold Roller?
In earlier days that colour on such a car used to be called ‘Jewish Racing Yellow’.
No, I’m not anti-semitic; I have always thought it witty, that’s all.
You know what they say about a man & his choice of car….:-)
You are not going to tell me that a bloke driving a Smart Car is hung like a donkey, are you?
Ask your wife
Pathetic specimens the both of them.
Fancy a cycle today? Need the encouragement, at your expense no doubt, of thousands of others because you are too fucking stupid or lazy?
Quentin is one of the few journos with balls enough to lay into Brown at his press briefings, so he must be supported.
Yep he virtually called McDebt a hoon on one splendiferous occasion – snoteater did not like it at all.
Besides QL also regularly takes the crappy Squeaker apart — all-round good man Letts.
If it was not for being on TV what was it for?
http://www.amstrad.com/products/archive/index.html
I used to think Sir Alan was an OKayish sort of bloke, but by taking the Labour whip he can fuck off
Me too.
When I younger I was a big fan of Amstrad & Sugar.
He then fucked Tottenham up by becoming Chairman although I didn’t hold that against him, but that seemed to mark him as having lost his touch.
Amstrad are now a bit like Little Chef, they were popular once but time has moved on and they belong in the past.
Had Alan Sugar not done the Apprentice, he would have only ever been a donor to the Liars not part of the Cabal.
There must be an angle as to why he took the Liars whip. I wonder what Mandy promised him to join his cabinet of all talented arsewipes?
So I think he should fuck off too.
No I think Mandy just wants to do the Apprentice!!
Mandy’s desperate to get on the telly and do ‘Come Dancing’. Would Ben Bradshaw be his preferred partner? What a glamorous couple they would be!
Remember Mandy’s taste for large yachts belonging to other people? It was on one of them that he encountered one G Osborne whom he later jeered at for his presence there (no mention of why Lord Fondlebum was there too, and the Tories were, as ever, too incompetent to challenge him effectively about it).
Sugar has been pictured on the bridge-deck of a ghastly, tasteless, plastic, diesel-gulping monstrosity in the S of France. Ergo, he attracts Mandy.
I pity the skipper. Probably went to sea because he loved it, worked his socks off for his Master’s ticket and ends up working for Srallan Shitter. What a fate.
Ah Yes!! The aspirational yacht that many millionaires feel obliged to have. Usually they are expensive chrome and plastic gin palaces. All fitted out with gizmoes so that the Sralan’s of this world can boast, “Mine’s bigger than yours”. Yachts I mean.
Where I come from they are known as Tupperware frigates or more tellingly the “Romford Navy”.
The Lock-keeper at Watford locks called them “yoghurt pots”.
I want to see Barry Soetero’s A/K/A Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate (The Long Form/Vault Copy not the ‘Certificate Of Live Birth’ shown on his website and in the MSM).
My life, so soon, already!
Lord Sugar is a squat shortarse as well as stupid???!
Dear Lord Shortarse,
You are not only a thick chippy little Huhne, which is why Gordoom and Little Lord Fondleboy want you on their team, but also because like them you have been making loads of dosh peddling shit.
Fuck off back to your Jurgen Klinsmann carwash.
Baron Sugar Lump of Clapton – the ugly face of Labour politics.
Now thats made me weally cwoss, calling Sugar Lump an Ugger Bugger.
You can’t polish a turd
Sugar once showed that it did not matter who you were, or knew – if you had
talent you could rise to the top. A plain-speaker who was admired.
Then, he showed himself to be just another sycophant and in a swoop, disproved all that he had seemingly stood for. And his credibility amongst a great many lost forever. Prat.
Would you ever have bought a used car off that piece of shit?
If he could arrange a knighthood I may consider it?
Great. Let him carry out his threat and expose his peerage what what it really is. He’ll have to live with the shame for the rest of his life.
Did Suralan get a Burk’s Peerage?
Not sure, but Sarah the beard has had the unfortunate occasion to suffer the Brown Burk’s appendage inside her – at least once.
Surly not? I had always assumed they used the turkey-baster method.
I tell you it was a grudge baby. Someone had it in for him.
Ah the fabled ‘chilling effect’ in action. Shut up or I will sue. Well Sugar is no longer a businessman or TV personality. He is a politician and thus is expected to put up with a higher grade of vitriol thanks to the ECHR.
It wouldn’t get to a jury for the simple reason his allegation does not disclose a cause of action. I would imagine that most right thinking people don’t think much of Lord Sugar. Especially as that profile of him on the Beeb last year revealed his prehistoric attitudes with respect to women’s rights.
That said I hope he goes to court. Sugar’s lasting legacy might be a defeat in the courts that removes the right of politicians to bring actions for libel in the absence of actual malice. And that would be welcome.
Sugar continually picks the wrong candidate for his apprentice. The ones who are most qualified he dismisses as he sees them as a threat.That much is clear.
I’m with you on that one RATM. In the real world, the people that get through to the final on the programme would have been weeded out at the CV or first interview stage. I wouldn’t trust some of them to run a bath let alone one of my companies.
I stopped watching it as like most managers with experience of running a business I can spot a wrong ‘un fairly quickly. Some candidates are downright cringeworthy, It is not serious, it’s a freak show.
IMHO The show is designed to discredit business.
The programme The Apprentice is a theatrical farce. I’d love to be able to point right in to his face and tell him………You’re fired!
Nah – he chose the bird with the biggest tits on the last one! Excellent choice!
Casting couch, slightly used, for sale anyone?
Apply: Lord Sugar of Tate & Lyles.
I have a wonderful view this Sunday morning. The tumbrils are trundling up Whitehall and we have already seen the gibbering sight of Mad Hatty Harperson being led away in chains from her non-performance before Witchfinder Marr. Methinks they are taking her to the Thames to try out a prototype anti-Taleban ducking stool for Bob (Just call me stupid) Ainsworth!
Knit one, purl one…
My single staring eye sees all and I am gifted with the “sight” as all haggled old crones are. I have a vision of Suralan gibbering, screaming and clapped in irons as he is pitched towards Tyburn (which is getting remarkably good crowds at the moment due to Strictly being off air)…oh unless you lot with the piano wire get him first – I can’t see everything y’know.
Knit three, purl two, slip one…
Poor Suralan. The eejit really has deluded himself into thinking his peerage will be an elevating and en-nervating experience and give him kudos and even better tables in restaurants than being a “Sur” does.
(Cackle, cough, drop knitting in hoss shit and bloody

Poor sod doesn’t realise he’s a placeman in the Lords and will be Gordy and Mandy’s patsy. Now I don’t know if the vertically challenged business whizz is indeed “stupid” as I don’t know him, but all the signs are if he doesn’t realise why they’ve enobled him then he must be slightly lacking and will have one helluva shock coming to him when the execution wagon eventually rolls up.
God bless the SS Quentin Letts and all who sail in her! Now where’s my knitting gone? Cough…splutter…gob…fart!
Witchfinder Marr??
You are taking the proverbial aren’t you? Glastolover Marr is a total pussycat when he talks to Labour Ministers.
He is part of the BBC Labour Luvvy elite and practices the BBC’s maxim at every turn:
“Interview the Liberal Elite, Interrogate Conservatives”
Marr is mine. Mine I tell’ee. I have his little effigy in my wizened hands and the needles ready.
Would you like to hold my cloak?
Brilliant…
My guess, is that Sugar is very far from stupid. A dishonest criminal very possibly, but not at all stupid.
Like all gangsters, or people who borrow large amounts of cash from them, like for example top politicians, he is incapable of really telling the truth. Truth is more then his life is worth.
Sugers talent is in ‘handling’ THE BANKS, and other large private investors. The same can also be said for the likes of Branson and Gates. Who’s own private wealth is but a fraction of those he borrows cash from. Talent for spotting a good product, or organizing much if anything, has very little to do with their seeming success. For money buys these skills off the shelf. As is does virtually everything else.
He must be stupid to take the ‘king’s shilling! However, stupid or not, he’s obviously excessively vain.
Though I’m not Quentin’s biggest fan, I’d rather work for him than stupid cretin spastic Lord Alan Of Sugar, who must surely be in the Top Ten Biggest Wankers Great Britain has ever produced.
The idea that anybody in football could respect someone like Alan Sugar against the shadow cast by that giant of a man Sir Bobby Robson just shows that they ‘don’t make ‘em like they used to’…
And no doubt Sugar is enough of a fucking imbecile to imagine that anyone who says a word against him is guilty of anti-semitism, as though the fact that he is a complete turd with shite for brains is not reason enough.

I think you may be sued for that comment. It has already been shown beyond any doubt here that Suralan is not ‘big’. Nor is he ‘clever’. Your only hope of a successful defence is to prove that he is a wanker. No too difficult.
Don’t think he’s thought this through very well.
If he sues,he runs the risk of ending up a laughing stock.Libel cases are notoriously difficult to control and to be avoided if there are any skeletons in the cupboard.Perhaps Sir Alan really is a saint-like figure?He’ll need to be.
If he doesn’t sue,then he will be shown to be all bluster with no cojones at all.Not good for the image.
Threatening Letts in that way is barmy.He must have known that comments like that (and worse) go with the territory if he wanted to join an unpopular government.
I think he has been very badly advised.
First case ever of a Rat joining a sinking ship. Maybe the new ID cards are going to be produced on Amstrad!
The idea that anybody in football could respect someone like Alan Sugar against the shadow cast by that giant of a man Sir Bobby Robson just shows that they ‘don’t make ‘em like they used to’…
Agree, Bobby Robson was a star, Alan Sugar is a third rate microbe.
And no doubt Sugar is enough of a fucking imbecile to imagine that anyone who says a word against him is guilty of anti-semitism, as though the fact that he is a complete turd with shite for brains is not reason enough.
Can we set up a fund to support Quentin?
“Quentin promises to call as witnesses Brown and Mandelson as the two most likely to know and thus be able to say why Sugar really got his job”
Brilliant move Quentin! I can almost visualise the pressure currently being put on Sugar, by MandyBoyz, to withdraw the threat to sue.

THICK AS THIEVES KEEPS EATING MY HAMSTER.
tat must be getting to them.
That’s what I just said you twat.

There’s a village somewhere missing it’s idiot, why don’t you volunteer for the job you fucking benefit cheat?
I can understand your anger. Must make you a very bitter man having shit for brains.
Nah, I’m not angry, you’re just the entertainment for the day.

straight up dude, diamiana’s varicous veins is actually a woman posting as a man. dc is a paid troll who has been sent here by tory HQ on pre-election ops.
those tories are strange motherfuckers. a very odd bunch.”
i don’t think you’ll be getting any tonight luv. Bye!
Oh Dear! How Sad! Never mind, Your fired!
Toss the hamster in the incinerator on the way out!
I thought this post and comment thread was doing very well to get to 71 before someone came out with the bleeding obvious ‘you’re fired’ line.
Well done everybody.

dance you bitches dance you fucking slags!
oh, and I trust you have all filled out your prerequisite thick as thieves fan club application forms?
only fully fledged fans are allowed to interact with the great thick as thieves.
no completed application form means no face time with your hero.
a strict policy admittedly but a necessary one nonetheless. without such a policy I would simply be over-run by cripples like jonty’s bumchum and damiana’s varicose veins.

Get yer smelly keks off, you’ve pulled.
odd little character with a somewhat limited and repetitive line in invective, ain’t he? Still, fills in the gaps between the interesting posts…
if you back chat top boy you will get your skull caved in.
I hope we understand each other you snotty nosed fuckwit.

Sugar pulled more strokes than a Cambridge Blue and is a typical crrook who now thinks it is a good idea to go straight (well,nearly straight ) . If he was truly well intentioned he would have no truck with the gangasters Brown and Mandleson. As it is said,”birds of a feather flock together”
Don’t mention the Viglen shares!
Oops, I just did – still, Piers Morgan liked them ;o)
Qeuntin Letts Scolds Gordon Brown.
Note how crash doesnt answer the question. He was asked if there was a note take at THAT PARTICULAR meeting. He responds by saying there are meetings where note takers are not present. That may well be true but were they present at THAT meeting ?
Brown’s mad smile gives it away; that’s his body language for “I’ve been tumbled, I’ve got no answer, I’m an evil fuckwit. If I smile my mad grin then maybe the people who have the sound turned down will think I’m nice.”
Words can’t begin to explain how fucking evil Brown really is, or how selfish the labour party are for allowing him to hold any kind of power for the last 12 years when they all knew full well what an evil self-serving negligent bastard he is/was.
I hope labour don’t get a single MP in 2010, and that following Brown’s Portillo moment of losing his own seat he decides to slash his wrist with a rusty razor blade on live tv.
Finally! A PMQs worth watching.
Is that really the real question asked? Whilst no fan of Gordon Brown, it does seem rather hostile!
A smile from Gordon = extra votes for the opposition.
Guido
Challenge this came from nothing in the East-End bullshit.
Check his relations.
I was told that Lord Weinstock is related to Alan Sugar.
You could not go wrong in electronics being related to the guy heading the leading electric firm in Europe at the time.
Well I certainly don’t quite see how ‘Sugar’ can be his real name?
Well, if it’s not Sugar, what can it be?
Oh, Sugar! I nearly said it then!
Oh Puleeze!….No way is Sugar related to Weinstock.
Long after Weinstock was running GEC,Sugar started peddling car aerials out of the back of his van in the East End.No harm in thet,but…
..Arnold would never have let any of his relations do that!
Pity there aren’t any elections he could be stand in though to really show his mettle and popularity. Maybe Gordon should call one so that Mr Sugar can show us all he isn’t just political candy-floss.
Jury of peers. Would that be Lord Sugar Sugar’s – fellow vermin in ermine, or ex Tottenham Court Road barrow-boys? Or Quentin’s – hacks, satirists? As for Guido’s peers… has anyone else taken up rosé in a serious way?
I think they mean me.
“Herbert Smith, sent Quentin a menacing letter talking about putting the matter before a “jury of his peers””.
A.Sugar is now a member of the club and therefore one of the untouchables, House of Lords = best trade union in the World, don’t mess with the Teamsters.
“Baron Sugar of Shortarse, you are stupid and the only reason you got your peerage is because you are a telly celebrity. If you weren’t stupid you would realise we all know your chair is raised up in the boardroom so that you don’t look like the chippy, midget tycoon that you really are.”
bravo old chap, bravo
hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahaaaa – comedy! Love it Guido….hope the weather in France is better than it is here.
And no doubt Sugar is enough of a fucking imbecile to imagine that anyone who says a word against him is guilty of anti-semtism, as though the fact that he is a complete turd with shite for brains is not reason enough.
Gordon Brown needs a man, and I am that man.
Does Alan Sugar own a gun shop in Soho?
No! thought not. He can’t see through shop windows and behind the counter no one can see him.
Guido, you’re most certainly in the a summons when you return from your paradise. You do like to live on the edge don’t you? Keep it up!
Spot the deliberate mistake – not ‘the’ but ‘for’ of course.
I long to see Sugar try and prove in a court of law that he isn’t stupid. This would create a legal definition of stupidity, which could come in very handy in the future. Oh the fun.
I thought he’d got his undeserved elevation to the Lords following a donation to Lord Mandelson in a cash for peerages sort of way.
Follow the MONEY !!!!!! Already…..
People say they want change but when they’re tested they fall back on the old and stale habit patterns they’ve been railing against. The Tory ideologues and vested interests don’t realise how their rigid and truculent attitude is a brake on change. They demand a revolution but can’t see how it would fail because they themselves haven’t grasped change within themselves.
As Labour gain momentum and begin to resonate more with the electorate this will translate into positive gains and the Tories will look increasingly like a busted flush.
Be still, grasshopper.
Change the fucking record Dolly.
Who is this wanker? Meddleswithbums? Dolly? McRuin? Anyway – fuck of you deluded twat.

It is wholly independent of any definite or arbitrary conceptions of an individual self, other selves, living beings, or a universal self.’

The only momentum Labour are gaining is P45′s for all their troughing, champagne socilaist MP’s who have ignored their constituents and bent over for the whips.
Better warm up your CV, as your paymasters won’t be able to keep your services much longer at the rate donors are fleeing the sinking ship.
Mind you, they could always borrow and spend to get elected just like they run the Treasury
Lord Sugar was under the impression that if he and the BBC spent large sums of money on PR that he could transform his image and the public would come to see him as a national treasure. That wasn’t very bright of him.
If Brown & Mandleson are taken to court McMental will lie. Its comes natural to him. It will be interesting to hear Mandy’s statements.
Personally I don’t like Sugar from what I’ve seen of him on TV. I cannot help but wonder how he’s got on.
Good luck to both you, Guido and Letts
Well done Guido & Quentin ! We need to restore good, British, investigative journalism.
Cameron has come a little way but his message isn’t entirely credible nor is its sincerity tested, so I remain sceptical that the Tories are anywhere near fit for government. Unless their leading politicians, members, and friends and allies begin showing more of the qualities and sensitivities Cameron is trying to sell people, unless they deliver and take a little pain, I won’t believe they’re anything more than a bunch of spivs trying to sell double-glazing to an old lady.
Be still, grasshopper.
Charles ,Charley are you number 1 Charles ,Charley or number 2, watched the shift change last night,as I said I love your prose well actually it’s total rubbish but I do like a windup.
Off Topic. Fuck off towrag.
“I won’t believe they’re anything more than a bunch of spivs trying to sell double-glazing to an old lady.”
That’ll be me.
Are you still here shit-for-brains. Crawl back up Mandy’s arse like a good little NuLab twat now.

…if anyone gave to the Buddha an immeasurable quantity of the seven treasures sufficient to fill the whole universe; and if another person, whether a man or woman, in seeking to attain complete Enlightenment were to earnestly and faithfully observe and study even a single section of this Sutra and explain it to others, the accumulated blessing and merit of that latter person would be far greater…
Charles, Charles, Charles
You say Cameron’s message isn’t entirely credible and he is not sincere
Therefore we should all vote for the Brown/Balls/Mandelson triumvirate who, as we all know are very credible and very sincere.

“It is winnable for Labour”
?
Meanwhile, a survey suggests the Conservatives’ lead over Labour is even stronger in key marginal seats than in the rest of the country.
The poll, conducted in 30 constituencies, put the Tories on 44%, Labour on 20% and the Liberal Democrats on 18%.
NewLiars are headed to oblivion, no doubt in my mind.
Having created an army of politically correct snoopers and jobsworths within a bloated bureaucracy that have to justify their existence while the country is slowly grinding to a halt and going bankrupt. At every turn they try and steal money from the working class and have created a high cost, low income society in the UK which is unsustainable.
In other words they have fucked up big time once we now the full extent after the next GE will never hold power again in the foreseeable future.
I for one would like to see most of them behind bars for foisting their Marxist state upon the UK.
But why aren’t the LibDems overtaking this failed Labour crew.??!
Because McRuin bought of 25% of the UK voting population with our money. No way these useless underclass and Grauniad readers will vote against their interests.
UKIP are doing well.
Nell, who are these weird people who are still supporting newlabour?!
we can’t lick windows all day long…
Sugar may be short but he is still a shrewd bastard. He has just cleaned up on a property deal buying the hotel on Mijas Golf in Malaga Province.
I cannot understand why he would head for the Lords given his full time business and television commitments.
Ego.
It’s the only gentlemen’s club in London where they pay you to be a member and give you £75 everytime you have a meal there.
mijas is Portuguese for “you piss”.
Heh heh.
Alan sugar turned down Bill Gates when he approached him to suggest AMSTRAD use his windows operating system in their computers. The rest as they say is history or at least Amstrad was. Your Fired !!!
Even if Letts doesn’t call them as witnesses, Lord Sugar could surely ask Downings street to release all of the paperwork, emails, civil service notes etc intended to show exactly what was in their minds at the time …?
Ooer………paperwork, we’re scared.
(Where’s that fucking shredder?Cherie didn’t half hinch the fucker did she?)
Needed the motor for ‘contraceptive equipment’.
Well she is a Scouser after all.
I’m not sure what the media’s issue is. They should be wise to the marketing tricks Cameron is using to look plausible while covering up his policy on the hoof and rewriting history.
Plus, the Turbo-Tories are quietly tearing themselves apart behind the scenes as the tax cutters and the ones who don’t want to rock the boat, and this is not being given any coverage.
Be still, grasshopper.
“I’m not sure what the media’s issue is.”
It’s because they know he’s going to win the next election you dopey cυnt.
Sentence 3: verb missing.
['Oh well, be pedantic, if you must: what's a Verb, for heaven's sake? after all, my trade-mark slogan, 'Vote Labour!' doesn't really need one, nor does my other one 'Be still, grasshopper!'

… if someone gives treasures equal to the number of sands on the shores of the Ganges river, and if another, having realized the egolessness of all things, thereby understands selflessness, the latter would be more blessed than the one who practiced external charity. Why? Because great disciples do not see blessings and merit as a private possession, as something to be gained…
The Conservatives have refused to match Labour’s school leavers guarantee or the extra funding announced in the Budget. If the Tories were in charge 55,000 young people would be denied a place in learning this year and next year. David Cameron’s plans for immediate and panic cuts to education in the middle of the recession would mean more youth unemployment and higher national debt – and leave our economy and society weaker, not stronger. It is exactly the wrong vision for Britain’s young people.
Cutting investment in training and apprenticeships for young people in the middle of a recession is economic madness. Unlike the Tories Labour won’t repeat the mistakes of the past by abandoning a generation of young people. The Tories should think again.
Be still, grasshopper.
“If the Tories were in charge 55,000 young people would be denied a place in learning this year and next year.”
Learning to sign on the dole, that is.
Once again I remind you Labourtroid:
You constantly claim that the Tories have no policies. Then you explain what a Tory policy would (not might) mean.
a)if they have no policies, how can you know what the effect will be?
b) Labour are in power currently. Your hypothesis has no basis upon which it can be based except your own skewed view
c) I say the Tories will create 1,000,000 jobs for young people. Prove me wrong.
This is just Broon playing the game again. Any fool politician can spend yet more taxpayers money then say hey – the opposition won’t match it – vote for me. There have to be limits. Gordo is way beyond them.
Let us today note that this glorious government is intending to create a whole new quango to interfere with the day-to-day running of universities in order to “standardise” quality.
This is also known as Dumbing Down.
CDM, if you want the backing of university staff, declare now that you will allow the professionals and their bodies to maintain their autonomy. If you promise to abolish HEFCE, REF and the other alphabet soup of numpties with their fingers fiddling in Higher Education, not only will you make some new and unlikely friends, you will actually improve the teetering ivory towers being encrusted with red tape and the accumulated crud of learning outcomes and pedagogical stalinism, with a better chance of restoring them to centres of excellence.
It gives a whole new meaning to, “you’ve been quangoed” my friend.
As, of course, opposed to the 70,000 that graduated this year and the 50,000 last year the majority of whom can’t even get a job shelf stacking !!!

MADAM ALEJANDRINA BELEN
REGIONAL AUDITOR
HEAD OFFICE BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK .
12 ADB AVENUE, ORTIGAS CENTER, MANDALUYONG CITY
PHILIPPINES.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself, I am MADAM ALEJANDRINA BELEN, REGIONAL
AUDITOR OFFICER BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK. I am writing you this letter based
on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your
personal edification. I am a top official in charge of client accounts in
(EQUITABLE PCI BANK) which is now BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK inside the
Philippines the merger was (2007) The merger is part of a long-term goal of
Banco de Oro to become one of the largest names in the Philippine banking
industry.
In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United States
of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to his vicious and
diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming predicament, my client came to me
with a very brilliant idea. He transferred some funds, ten million two hundred
thousand dollars (10.2m Dollars) to a fixed deposit account in my bank under an
alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter
was necessary for his protection.
Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in the
account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something
about it. This is where you come in. I located you through an agency that helps
seek people by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his
official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. Against this
backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand
as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive his funds.
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we can come
out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary
document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client. All that is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names
and Address and telephone number so that the attorney can commence his job.
The allocation of our money will be as follows: 30%(3.06m Dollars) to you for
your part in this, 70% for me. Again, I will be in charge of everything else. I
will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor so you don’t have to
worry about any legal ramifications, just what you will do with all that money.
Your urgent response is highly anticipated so please email me through this email
address (madam_belen01@yahoo.com.hk) for more details on this transaction as
soon as possible.This should be kept very secret and confidential.
Hope to hear from you soon .
Kind Regards,
MADAM ALEJANDRINA BELEN.

Two elderly people of my acquaintance are slowly spending their savings on this type of scam.
One of them, when I showed him the scam alert site said he would stop. But he hasn’t. He now rights a covering letter.
“Dear sir,
Much as I have enjoyed our correspondence I have been told that there really is no big lottery prize money. So I will not be sending you the cheque for £10 processing fee.
However, I would like to buy some of your genuine lottery tickets and enclose a postal order for £50.
Yours sincerely..
etc.”
The sense of creativity and community the Tories are familiar with is the cleverness and greed they’ve soaked themselves in. But, genuine creativity and community is open minded and open hearted. It doesn’t game the system or seek to build wealth up for itself. It opens itself up to spontaneity and kindness.
Far from being the evil of the City or marketers, genuine creativity is life giving and loving, quality and sharing. This isn’t something you can deliver with a bunch of words from a lectern but it requires insight, commitment, and a lot of letting go. This is essentially the feminine, or Yin side of the Tao, so is very firmly on the left of centre political spectrum, not the shiny and brittle right of centre on the Yang side of the Tao.
Be still, grasshopper.
Fuck off.
Everyone Guido allows to comment here has the right to air their views. I’ve read your comments in this thread and conclude that you’re nothing more than a troll.

I love Quentin Letts’ stuff. Humour with penetrating insight. But how can we support him in a libel case, if that is what Sugar proposes? I loathe Sugar and hate his progamme, that encourages ruthless stamping on rivals. He’s a seriously nasty piece of work and to see him elevated to the Lords just about epitomises New Labour contempt for the electorate.
I ask again, how can we support Quentin Letts in any way that would influence the outcome of a libel case when all UK libel cases are biased against the defendant?
Is Quentin “bovered”? Shouldn’t think so. Bet he’s having a laugh. It is the silly season after all.
I agree with you, but it wasn’t quite the point I was making. The Daily Mail, or Guido, or anyone, can express support but it isn’t going to make a blind bit of difference. The judiciary, whose job it is to interpret the law, is increasingly making the law in its own image, which bears no relation whatever to public expressions of support. The government is equally contemptuous of public opinion. I’m sure you have heard of Gary McKinnon. So why is Guido calling for support for Quentin Letts in the event of a libel prosecution brought by Sugar? He must know it’s useless… he’s just blowing as much hot air as he frequently accuses other people of doing.
Surely he’ll have the backing of the Daily Mail?
Bringing a libel action against Quentin Letts would be an act of gross stupidity.
Or diminutive stupidity.
Lord Sugar of crap electronics.
There is a very special circle of hell for people who sold crap like you did!
Quentin is a top bloke
He should just laugh his bollocks off and tell that fucking North London gnome and his lawyers to go fuck themselves.
What are they going to do, send him a stiffly worded letter?
I am not surprised that Lord Sugartits gets on with McMental , everything they both touch starts out well
THEN TURNS TO SHIT
I do not know how many millions of people are reading me on the blog tonight, at home and at the front. I want to speak to all of you from the depths of my heart to the depths of yours. I believe that the entire British people has a passionate interest in what I have to say tonight. I will therefore speak with holy seriousness and openness, as the hour demands. The British people, raised, educated and disciplined by New Labour, can bear the whole truth. It knows the gravity of the situation, and its leadership can therefore demand the necessary hard measures, yes even the hardest measures. We Britons are armed against weakness and uncertainty. The blows and misfortunes of the war only give us additional strength, firm resolve, and a spiritual and fighting will to overcome all difficulties and obstacles with revolutionary élan.

‘I do not know how many millions of people are reading me on the blog tonight,’

Actually, old bean, we see your moniker at the top, smile and scroll on down to the funnier bits…
Another thing that the Tories don’t get is the relationship between discipline and liberty. They talk tough on getting the job done and developing the regions, but if staff are to be skilful and work well together, and communities left behind by economic progress are to be raised up, they need to drill it into their heads that sound form or proper technique requires people to execute well and pay attention.
That’s rules and sensitivity by another name, and something they undermine when talking up licence, such as with their criticism of the government’s legislation, or policies on schoolchildren’s behaviour. There is no capital growth in failed individuals or states.
Be still, grasshopper.

The movement has from its beginning acted in that way to master the many crises it faced and overcame. The New Labour state also acted decisively when faced by a threat. We are not like the ostrich that sticks its head in the sand so as not to see danger. We are brave enough to look danger in the face, to coolly and ruthlessly take its measure, then act decisively with our heads held high. Both as a movement and as a nation, we have always been at our best when we needed fanatic, determined wills to overcome and eliminate danger, or a strength of character sufficient to overcome every obstacle, or bitter determination to reach our goal, or an iron heart capable of withstanding every internal and external battle. So it will be today. My task is to give you an unvarnished picture of the situation, and to draw the hard conclusions that will guide the actions of the British government, but also of the British people.

Christ. you’re still here. What’s the matter? Run out of your medication and can;t get any more? Fuck of back to the mental home dickshit.
I would just like to say that this blog is nothing without Charles. Keep posting Charles! We love you! ^_^
You are Harridan Harpoison and I claim my £ 5.
Mary Mary, quite contrary.
We also know our historic responsibility. Two thousand years of Western civilization are in danger. One cannot overestimate the danger. It is indicative that when one names it as it is, Conservatism throughout the world protests loudly. Things have gone so far in Europe that one cannot call a danger a danger when it is caused by the Conservatives.
That does not stop us from drawing the necessary conclusions. That is what we did in our earlier domestic battles. The conservatives minimized and downplayed a growing danger, and by lulling our threatened people to sleep reduced their ability to resist. We could see, if the danger were not overcome, the specter of hunger, misery, and forced labor by millions of Britons. We could see our venerable part of the world collapse, and bury in its ruins the ancient inheritance of the West. That is the danger we face today.
Cheese E sandwich wanks in front of a mirror.
Dont we all Dear!
You are very keen to critiscise the Conservatives, Charles. You say that they minimised and downplayed a growing danger, and lulled out threatened people to sleep.
Do you not think that is what this government have done over the amount of money the country owes? They have lied constantly to us and the figures have been massaged almost on a weekly basis to make sure that nobody finds out exactly how much money is at stake here.
Isn’t that also minimising and downplaying a growing danger?
Hats off to Quentin. Let’s put the frighteners on them for a change.
You can’t just pull innovation of the air by edict. That requires the right management attitude to employees, a nurturing environment, and a credible level of loyalty. The Tories oppose corporate governance, fair wages, and employment security law.
On that alone their words appear to be a cut and paste job from my comments over the past few weeks while their delivery on the ground remains the same old blank cheque for the CBI and shareholders.
Be still, grasshopper.
Fuck off you four eyed fat fucker of a twat.
Cheese E Sandwich is a pair of flaps.
Flaps are useful!
Labour haven’t pulled anything innovative out of the air in 12 years.
The education system is failing. School leavers cannot read, spell, or add up.
The NHS survives on a shoestring.
Out troops abroad haven’t the right equipment.
There are more people on benefits.
This government have had 12 years to right the so-called wrongs of the Conservatives.
The plain fact of the matter is that the Conservatives left the accounts in good order. This government has plundered everything it has touched, leaving the cupboard and the books bereft of funds, and they have the gaul to blame the Conservatives for their shortcomings.
How much longer do you think this country would survive if left in Gordon’s grubby little hands?
Hear, hear! Well spoken Bruce! I don’t remember John Major blaming Harold Wilson or Jim Callaghan when he was in the s**t!
‘You can’t just pull innovation of the air by edict.’
Only a Preposition missing this time…’

I do not flatter myself into believing that my remarks will influence public opinion in the neutral, much less the enemy, constituencies. That is also not my goal or intention. I know that, given our problems in the marginal constituencies, the English press tomorrow will furiously attack me with the accusation that I have made the first peace feelers (loud laughter). That is certainly not so. No one in Britain thinks any longer of a cowardly compromise. The entire people thinks only of a hard war. As a spokesman for the leading nation of the continent, however, I claim the right to call a danger a danger if it threatens not threatens not only our own land, but our entire continent. We in New Labour have the duty to sound the alarm against the Conservatives’ attempt to plunge the European continent into chaos, and to warn that the Conservatives are a terroristic military power whose danger cannot be overestimated.
‘As a spokesman for the leading nation of the continent, however, I claim the right to call a danger a danger if it threatens not threatens not only our own land, but our entire continent.’
…’if it threatens not threatens not only our own land…’
If you’re our spokesman, “We’re doomed, all doomed, ye ken?”

Cameron came out of the starting gate strongly in the hope of being able to capture the momentum by talking up innovation and society, the new business and kindness that I’ve been promoting in this blog. This is matched by a sideswipe which attempts to write off the economic and investment progress made during the Labour years, and extending his flanks to promise a rolling barrage of measures to help ordinary people with their everyday difficulties. It’s a good set piece but I remain sceptical that Cameron fully understands what he’s saying or genuinely cares for people.
It’s easy if you try. Dharma, dharma, dharma chameleon…

I rest my case. Now fuck off.

Some maintain that the British people has lost faith in victory.
I ask you: Do you believe with the Führer and us in the final total victory of the British people?
I ask you: Are you resolved to follow the Führer through thick and thin to victory, and are you willing to accept the heaviest personal burdens?
Second, some say that the British people are tired of fighting.
I ask you: Are you ready to follow the Führer as the phalanx of the homeland, standing behind the fighting army and to wage war with wild determination through all the turns of fate until victory is ours?
Third: Some maintain that the British people have no desire any longer to accept the government’s growing demands for war work.
I ask you: Are you and the British people willing to work, if the Führer orders, 10, 12 and if necessary 14 hours a day and to give everything for victory?
Fourth: some maintain that the British people is resisting the government’s total war measures. It does not want total war, but capitulation! (Shouts: Never! Never! Never!)
I ask you: Do you want total war? If necessary, do you want a war more total and radical than anything that we can even imagine today?
Fifth: Some maintain that the British people have lost faith in the Führer.
I ask you: Is your confidence in the Führer greater, more faithful and more unshakable than ever before? Are you absolutely and completely ready to follow him wherever he goes and do all that is necessary to bring the war to a victorious end? (The crowd rises as one man. It displays unprecedented enthusiasm. Thousands of voices join in shouting: “Führer command, we follow!” A wave of shouts of Heil flows through the hall. As if by command, the flags and standards are raised as the highest expression of the sacred moment in which the crowd honors the Führer.)
This Hoon’s a grade A delusional mentalist. Time for nurse methinks. Fuck off back to your padded cell cretin.
You’re a Tory troll. I’ve had an alcohol-rich lunch. What’s your excuse?
My Property empire is going down the shitter as is my private jet business, that is why I (an ex Conservative supporter) have to keep showing my ugly mug on television and giving jobs to wankers who if they actualy had any ability would be running a business of their own instead of promoting my wank products made in China and bought by fucking nobody.
He could always get a job as a Sid James looky likey.
The great crises and upsets of national life show who the true men and women are. We have no right any longer to speak of the weaker sex, for both sexes are displaying the same determination and spiritual strength. The nation is ready for anything. The Führer has commanded, and we will follow him. In this hour of national reflection and contemplation, we believe firmly and unshakably in victory. We see it before us, we need only reach for it. We must resolve to subordinate everything to it. That is the duty of the hour. Let the slogan be:
Now, people rise up and let the storm break loose!
Get a life you pathetic Hoon
*Heads to garden with wine*
I think you mean when the people break loose and hang you and your ilk from the lamposts, God I cannot wait for the day!!
Sugar. Another Poison Dwarf. NuLab seems to collect them. How tall is Ecclestone?
Neither of them like being called prats. Maybe it’s a little to close to home. But if Shortarse Sugar wants to have his day in court they’ll have to place an orange crate in the Witness Box.
Two hydraulic lifts for his shoes would be a necessity, so he can see the judge.
Watch out for men in lifts.
Where have all the commies gone, Pete, long time passing?
“Where have all the commies gone?”
A lot of them are in the current cabinet, of course they pretend they are “democratic socialists” these days.
A bigger lie has yet to be told.
Sugar’s appointment was a desperate act, designed to cash in on his television programme. It’s Mandelson’s nod to populism, rather than having to actually abandon Labour’s deeply unpopular policies, and re-think the party’s stale manifesto.
The people see through it, however. In order to avoid meltdown at the election, Labour will have to repeal some of its worst excesses, and turn over a new leaf. This won’t stop them receiving a kicking, but might just ensure they have enough seats to function as an opposition to Cameron’s Tories.
Gloss berth slapper?
He founded a computer business based on unreliable hard-disks and loads of customer dissatisfaction. I know because I was one them.
He projects himself on the Apprentice as a sexist bully, but also a bully generally.
He himself has claimed his appointment to the Lords was politically neutral and that he was not joining the government – he demonstrated he doesn’t even understand how government works.
So what was he appointed to the Lord’s for then if it’s not that he’s a telly peer? – another of gordon’s high profile telly stars that gordon feels he needs to keep hob nobbing with – though I don’t now what for because they don’t improve his credibility.
That’s true.
However I would grant him titles and riches beyond his dreams if he would make one series of “Political Apprentice”
“Gordon, your task was to reinvigorate the Labour party, capitalise on the success of Tony Blair, but mark a clear dividing line between the Iraq war era, president Bush, and the present day. What have you done?”
“I have tried very hard SirAllen, to ..erm.. re re re re rebuild the trust that was lost.. in going to war.4.3% of growth across the sector..real terms..zero percent growth..”
“Stop that tractor gibberish. You’re fooling no-one. How can you say you have done well? You have approval ratings lower than Katie Price. You’ve got yourself into another war. A worse one? And you’re on the front pages for cancelling helicopter contracts?”
“Well. We didn’t think we’d need them. You see armaments industry jobs are located in Scotland…”
“You didn’t think you’d need them? So in a desert country, with a mountain range running through it what did you think you would need?”
“Well..Aircraft Carriers, Sir Allen…”
(Silence…stunned silence broken only by a soft fart from Margaret Mountford.
Sir Allen turns to the rest of the cabinet. )
I don’t know what you’re smirking for Miliband. Your performance was shambolic. When asked do you want to lead the project you said ‘yes..and no..then ate a banana. All of you.. Look at your records.
Mandelson. You claim to have held it altogether, yet you tried to sell Royal Mail, that’s the only supporters you have , to the Tories. Are you insane? You had to drop the whole stinking pile of..of..of what’s the word Margaret?”
“There is no word for that Sir Allen”
“Well I’m making one. A Harman. You made a complete, stinking, Harman of it. As for you Ed, you have your own name to describe your time as schools minister. A total Balls up. SATS! What a disgrace. You were supposed to improve schools results!”
“I did SirAllen..I made all the kids stupider. Now, they all pass”
“Shut up Balls. And you Cooper. You wouldn’t know what a fiscal stimulus is if some drunk, stoned trance-dancer gave you one in the girls loos. A complete lightweight.
Right, enough of this. Flint, Smith,Browne, Hoon, Hutton,Kennedy,Darzi, Blears, Malloch-Brown, Purnell you’re all fired. I chose you lot to go for the TV ratings. We keep the most useless in till the end.
The rest of you, you’ve got 10 months to sort it out. Judging by the Euro elections you’ll need 10 decades to bring it around. .. Now go back to the house and think of something. And not some bollocks about gap years for 0.2% of students neither.”
Nope, that was pretty much how his computer business ended, not how it was founded :

Before that he had an OK value for money reputation but the smell got a bit too strong with the HD affair.
Folk often confuse initially successful businesses with the subsequent problems, Michael Milken has this problem with his smart initial work on Junk Bonds getting obscured by the subsequent 98 inditements for racketeering and securities fraud.
Sugar goes to Court against Letts
Mandelson and Brown both claim it the peerage had nothing to do with his tv show
The jury disagree and find that the peerage was only given because he’s famous, and incidentally, he is stupid as well.
Letts wins, it is on the record that Sugar is stupid and the Judge sums up saying he was most disappointed with the credibility of the two witenessess.
Everyone wins (apart from Brown, Mandelson and Sugar, but who gives a shit about them)
Except that our Judges are bent, our Courts are corrupt and our Laws are rubbish.
‘Take them down, all three of them’.
In my earlier post I mentioned liberty versus licence. Some folks confuse the two, not realising that sound rules are the basis for a good life and civilisation. While one may have minimal influence on nations, less banging on about it in here would be less disruptive and encourage more calm.
The Tao teaches that influence extends from the self outwards, so better focus and sensitivity in the self spreads out like the ripples created by a small pebble being thrown into a pond. More calm increases happiness. More happiness increases kindness and, maybe, a nicer policy.
Be still, grasshopper.
Charles, Charles, Charles, it’s not about who’s got the best policies you total fruit, but who’s going to win the next election.
Chill bro, you’ve done your best, it’s time to step down.
We know who will win. What we do not know is who will be in second place. There is a very real possibility that the LibDems may become Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition and that the Labour Party consigned to the periphery of politics.
Great!

Harriet Harperson has decreed that from now on every married couple must have at least one woman in it.
Doesn’t that fall afoul of Gay-Hate legislation?
The Tao has useful lessons on the balance of power. By promoting the right leadership at all levels in business and the community this can help refocus attention. You only need to influence a third. The other third follows while the last third flips to the bottom of the pile. Macho politics won’t give up without a struggle but, I believe, it’s in the process of getting its coat.
Be still, grasshopper.
“…..but, I believe, it’s in the process of getting its coat.”
In your case, a concrete overcoat.

Vote New Labour for a Reich that will last a thousand years!
Vote New Labour and facilitate the final solution!
I think, we’re going through that process now which explains some of the flux but this economic issue could be just the boost people need to get a grip on that. The slight tightening is just a small frightener but as people look beyond that it’s clear it won’t last too long and there’s huge scope for new business and markets beyond that. By sticking with Labour the electorate have a once in a lifetime opportunity of blowing the Tory myth once and for all.
Be still, grasshopper.

The Times reported a Senior Civil Servant speaking about gordon’s appointment of Sugar to the Lord’s as saying ‘ gordon is obsessed with celebrity’
The Times then went on to state that Sugar’s appointment was a populist gimmick which the PM hoped would bring him tabloid appeal”
Is Sugar going to sue them as well?
Spot on Nell, populist gimmick exactly sums up the level to which this shower of incompetents have descended, desperately trying to leverage some publicity off of their D list celebridy friends – stand by for Lord Bendit of beckham.
Regrettably, New Labour subscribe to the view that ‘If they are famous they must have a particular insight in to the way this country should be run’. This is rubbish, for years I have heard more sensible views on the problems besetting this nation from plumbers than Luvvie show biz types.
Ooh! the towering intellect of Vanessa Whatserface. All of her combined witterings about her socialist principles are easy when her multi-million pound bank balance allow her to jet around spreading her particular world view.
The BBC’s protecting him too. They won’t let anyone mention the fact that he’s been given millions of pounds’ worth of government contracts and a peerage when (by sheer coincidence obviously) he happened to have given the labour party shit loads of money.
Not so much “cash for peerages”, more “cash for peerages and fucking big contracts”
He also gets to peddle his own company to schools/universities now that he’s in charge of telling them how to run a business.
whisper: “hey, you can save money in your school budget by buying our kit, but don’t tell anyone I told you so, mum’s the word.”
Being on the telly isn’t the conflict of interests; owning a business which tries to sell to the very people that you’re employed as a government minister to preach to about the kind of goods/services that you sell is the conflict.
I create software for a living; if I was employed by the government to go round the schools telling people what software to buy then I’d be very happy, and I’d be extremely rich very quickly.
Can you take court action against someone calling you stupid? If that is the case, most of this government would spend all their time in court defending their selves, does it mean you can no longer voice an opinion on another persons mental capacity? Sounds like a slippery slope, the PC brigade must be behind it all.
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.
Be still, grasshopper.
I’m not a violent person, but if someone kicked me in the face then I’d consider that they’re not very nice. Does the fact that I don’t like someone who’s kicked me in the face mean that I’m violent?
Brown’s destroyed the economy. Destroying the economy is not one of my own personal weak spots.
Brown doesn’t even understand basic maths; I understand basic maths and I knew on day 1 of his 10% tax “abolition” that it was in fact a doubling. By pointing out his stupidity on that point I’m not displaying a personal weak spot of my not understanding maths; I’m doing the exact opposite; I’m showing you that even a normal member of the public who’s never gone to uni understands more about maths/economics than the fucking retard who’s been in charge of the country’s money for the last 12 years.
twat.
Charles. Have you ever considered that you might actually be wrong? Or are you so puffed-up and full of your own self-importance that you can’t see the wood for the trees?

Since I’m the person who invented graphics fidelity, I know a thing or two about goals, processes, systems and outcomes. (I’ve even been called “the father of modern gaming”). It’s obvious to any objective observer that Labour have been aiming for and delivering better law and regulation for some time but, more importantly, better attitude.
The City didn’t finance manufacturing but favoured less risky and more short-term returns from services. Britain has deep seated cultural issues that get in the way and Cameron consistently shows no understanding of that. Labour is clearly the only sensible choice: delivering real help now to hard-working families.

Our misfortune has made us mature, but not robbed us of our character. Britain is still the land of loyalty. It will celebrate its greatest triumphs in the midst of danger. Never will history record that in these days a people deserted its Führer or a Führer deserted his people. And that is victory. We have often wished the Führer in happy times our best on this evening. Today in the midst of suffering and danger, our greeting is much deeper and more profound. May he remain what he is to us and always was — Our Gordon!
Gordon Bennett!
Does anyone know of any decent, honest, hardworking Labour Peers who have been appointed to the HoL in the last 12 years?
First we had Lords Truscott/Taylor of Blackburn/Moonie and Snape – all investigated for selling favours and changing legislation for money.
Then we had Baronness Uddin now being investigated by the police for fraud.
Now we have Glynnis Kinnock and Alan Sugar.
Can you name any decent, honest, hardworking Tory peers?
Listen to the great and noble Charles and you might learn something.
As I’ve said before, I think they’re all in it for the money, doesn’t matter which party they belong to.
As for listening to Charles….well, let’s not go there, eh.
Yeah, I’ve learned that you’re totally off your fucking trolley Mary.
Now fuck off back to the hostel.
At the moment it’s the Labour Peers who are under public scrutiny and none of it for anything commendable.
The tories turn will come – but the here and now of failed Labour government is what’s under discussion just now.
As for the ‘great and noble’ Charles, who is most likely some Unite lackey being paid for by the gang of four, churning out oft-repeated and meaningless rubbish – well I just wish he would stop catching and killing grasshoppers.
Charles is a caution, isn’t he – but a little too smart for the usual Labour hobbledehoy – not the brightest collection of people in unions or CLP’s – with a few (rare) exceptions (meself of course, eh up, etc). The counter image of the late lamented Stan, perhaps? Some obscure post-modern joke? Or just a good old fashioned wind-up? A load of old cobblers but mildly funny… More importantly, do you like the way I dance on the Parliament Television? Up down, up, down, oi, Mr Speaker! Nice little mover for me age…as I were saying to Wittgenstein… Dennis does the monkey…
You are Charles wearing a dress!!
Yes. How about Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones fro a start.

Guido, please give some consideration to offering a job as your assistant to Gary McKinnon. This world class hacker, who should by rights be employed by our Mickey Mouse intelligence services, would be an invaluable aid to tracking down and destroying the aliens who infest this site.

Pam Hardwidge
Hello again it was an exciting day yesterday let me explain. My boss Jeremy invited me to his eldest daughter’s engagement party hence the hairdo and the new outfit I hope it didn’t look out of place. It was kind of him but then I did a lot of the organising really I am his PA which is a posh way of saying general dogsbody. Charlie of course is quite rude about him he calls him Mr Battery Charger although his name is really Bhattacharya he is Indian although his mum was white not that it matters. Anyway it was a good day I hope I didn’t drink too much champagne my face goes red.
Charlie doesn’t like Jeremy because he owns a petfood factory and he says he grinds the faces of the workers and he is cruel to endangered species. Jeremy just says you don’t want to know what I grind to make the petfood but they are not endangered you might be surprised really.
Anyway Jeremy found out that Charlie likes Graphic Design or whatsit on his computer so he said his youngest daughter Jeevankala wants to do it at university and is very keen she is Charlie’s age and could she come round so of course I said yes. I’m afraid Charlie and Jeevankala didn’t get on very well because they both think they are cleverer than the other and she picks up all his stuff and I heard him shouting “Jeez, let it go!”, that’s what he calls her. Then she nearly trod on his grasshopper and she said “That would have made the little ****** keep still” I thought she was nicely brought up.
Still I hope they will be friends because she is much nicer than that dirty Spaedo boy with the nose stud and the funny trousers and the Baiter boy who always looks so washed out.
Must fly dinner to get on.
Pam Hardwidge
OK I’ll come clean. I was merely demonstrating how uncannily the cadences of Charlie Harddiscdrive reproduce those of Herr Joseph G. Enough already.
And as for you, Mary, you’re complete and utter idiot. You complemented one of my posts, which was taken nearly verbatim from Jo G, 1945.
Ms. Harriet ‘Misandry’ Harperson in a new shade.
Give me Diana Dors any day rather than Batty Hattie! By the way, did you know her real name was Diana Fluck? I have no idea what Diana Dors’ real name was.
…and they say that Joe Loss and his Band was brought in to provide the music for a birthday celebration: just before the final number, he turned round to give a vote of thanks for all the champagne and vol au vents he and the band had been given, beginning, ‘I just want to thank Mr. And Mrs. Clunt…’
Surely a clunt is a person who leaves a Chinese restaurant without paying?
If people were to look at AMS’s “investments” in commercial property and then look at losses in commercial property (30%) you might find the “tycoon” has a vested interest in creating another credit bubble or his empire is gone.
Well that’s a first – bitter Sugar.
Don’t flatter yourself, Charley ‘Unt; you’re outnumbered 7,000,000,000:1
I noticed that as soon as he started posting on here
Labour’s support went south.
Splendid to see lots of political type stuff on the old site and of a far higher calibre than in its formative days
A notable lacuna is,however, the absence of anyone pointing out how desperately shaggable Ms Flanders is.I sensed something in her body language the moment our eyes met this morning (over my three minute egg and wholemeal toast with anchovy relish) and could plainly see that she felt it too.
I wonder if she would be at all interested in a troilistic apres midi with the increasingly lovelorn wife of our Prime Minister and a very fit retired army officer with a slight hearing impediment .Might be an agreeable change from sojouning with the turkey baster
Well done Quentin. Only saying what we and all Tottenham fans have been thinking for a long time. Rename the House of Lords as the House of Gordy’s unelected chums (another quango then).
The reason that the Tories are are using the internet so much more effectively than Labour is that they use it for what it’s good at: reaching out to the grassroots and discussing things, getting a feel for what the electorate really thinks. It’s a thousand times better than an opinion poll or focus group. Labour sees it only as a way to supplement their dwindling pool of activists by massive, automated spamming and trolling attacks. Even a total noob could tell you that that just gets peoples backs up.
I was a Labour voter all my life until the Iraq war. At the next election I will vote for whatever party has most chance of destroying New Labour.
Good on you davidg. I used to be a Laour voter too, but Blair was more than I cold stomach and I knew Jack Straw of old – he stitched up some of my South African student friends very badly back in the late 60′s. Then I had the misfortune to meet Gordon at Edinburgh Uni – what a second rater.
You might not have agreed with Old Labour, but they were a decent political party. Nulabour is merely a business opportunity for the corrupt and the otherwise unemployable.
Anyone but NuLabour.
Snafu. That’s the American title of a film with a young Sean Connery and Alfred Lynch.

I will swap you an electric cauliflower for it.
I’ll swap you a clockwork orange.

I haven’t had time to read all the postings so this point has probably been made. Just in case: do we have a Streisand moment here?
The Labour Party are selling the security of our troops down the river.
BBC says about Mandy: “Writing in the News Of The World, he indicated Labour would fight the poll on the basis of its economic record.”
So what’s their general election slogan then? “We bankrupted the entire country twice in the last 40 years. Elect us again and we’ll make the deficit/shit even deeper next time. 2 trillion quid’s fucking peanuts. Give us another 5 years and it’ll be 20 trillion and we’ll be back in the stone age”
“economic record” ? yep; definitely a record all right; more debt than the last 300 years all put together and more damage to us as a nation than both world wars combined. Now that’s what I call an economic record.
Labour need to be given the same legal status as Osama Bin Laden and banned; they’re simply financial/economic terrorists.
You add nothing other that tedium.
If we are all so interested in your musings then maybe we could visit your blog?
Please fuck off.
May I take this opportunity to remind people that the thing which really upsets Hardwidge is (a) people posting under his name and (b) “stealing his content”, something which he ranted about at some length on LabourList, during which he threatened to sue our host for copyright infringement (and was roundly mocked for by comments on that site).
So, if you must feed the troll, you know what to do – steal, mangle and twist his words in the knowledge it might make him cry.
And all credit to the Hardwidge of the Third Reich. One can hardly see the difference.
I thank yew
This morning I visited the Guardian website and read a few hundred comments .
I will be eternally grateful to the contributors for the enlightenment offered by their perceptive analyses of the political situation in the UK .
Hitherto, I had no idea that the parlous, probably disastrous state of the nation is nothibg remotely to do with the Labour Party———-
It is all due to the wicked Tories and the evil Mrs Thatcher.
According to some contributors Mrs T deserves to die a slow ,agonising death
and to have a stake driven through her heart.
She should be grateful that the guardianistas are kindly,caring and compassionate otherwise she could get burned at the stake.
Why is it that lefties will never ,ever admit their mistakes but will always, always find others to blame when their utopian, madcap schemes steer the nation towards utter ruin ?
It could be of course that the left is never wrong about anything including giving the job of leader to Tony Blair and allowing Brown to use smash and grab tactics to get the keys to number 10.
The latest distilled wisdom of lifelong Labour voters is that Blair was a Tory so
the years and years of lying,cheating , thievimg and multitudinous layers of deceit and dishonesty are nothing to do with Labour.
The leading Labour players who allowed thecancerous cabal to take over
what was once a party of worthy ideals should not suffer the slow ,agonising death prescribed by the left for Mrs T .
A lightning quick , summary execution would do very nicely
Resurrect Pierrepoint
Labour are creating the problems in the first place.
The Tory’s immediate response to the onset of the financial crisis was:
“we wouldn’t have put ourselves in the position of having massive debt at the end of the longest most benign global boom we’ve ever had; we would have put some cash aside to cushion the blow like all the other responsible countries did. we also wouldn’t have created the system that caused this problem in the first place because that system made no sense and nobody in the industry believed it would ever work. But now that the entire financial system is fucked and we’ve got the biggest debt imaginable and a looming spiralling recession, let’s try and find a way out of it.”
To me that response made sense, and was much better than the labour line of:
“Everything’s fine. Nothing really went wrong in the uk. It was all those horrible Americans. move along. nothing to see here. Debt, what debt?”
Does anyone what planet the bloke is on?
It looks like Uranus.
Wrong case for Relative Pronoun: should be ‘whom’, not ‘who’ (“…who they crush…”: ‘they’ is the subject, ‘crush’ is the verb, the object of the crushing is… WHOM).
Are you doing a truss again Jethro?
O/T Just for a moment.
Here come the smears. Bob aintbustingagut is smarting over the slating he is getting about not looking after our troops. So now he’s trying to deflect the criticism by leaking a document saying our ‘troops are too obese to fight’
To qualify as obese you have to have a BMI in excess of 30. That means someone of 5’7″ would need to be 14stone, 5’8″ = 15 stone and 6′ = 16stone.
Have you seen any soldiers in Afghanistan or on marches here in England of that weight?
Oh wait a minute what the document really said is that there are approx.12000 army personnel who are classified as being ‘unable to deploy’ or being of ‘limited deployability’ for medical reasons, some of which relate to weight, but which also equally relate to such matters as having lost a limb or taken other injury in recent conflict.
You keep spinning and smearing bob aintbustingagut, with a bit of luck you’ll make yourself dizzy. We just aren’t fooled by this government’s lies any longer.
I’ve got a BMI of 30 and an IQ to match.
Ainsworth’s annoyed because no one likes his moustache.
Please also note that Bob Who? is trying the Two Jaggs strategy of whining about class, and how people are being snobby becuase he’s a fat ex factory worker with a sad little ‘tache.
No, it’s not that, Bob, it’s just that we think you’re fuckin’ hopeless.
Do not forget, an arselicking treacherous bastard as well. What was the deal? Sell the boys downriver and pick up a Peerage? Lord Bob of Knobshire?
BMI is a very poor gauge, especially if you’re muscular.
Err, wait a minute, BMI can be subjective, many of the England rugby team are officially “obese” because of their BMI which is skewed owing to their muscularity. I bet there are quite a few well built squaddies who haven’t an ounce of fat on them but who qualify as being on the wrong side of the chart.
Let me assure you Nell, that once someone starts shooting at you, your fitness levels improve very quickly.
How can the Tories sell the security of the nation down the river? They’re not in power.
The security of the nation is already being sold down the river. If you bother to read the economic magazines, most of them will say the same thing.
Merryn Somerset Webb said (and I quote) the FT noted that the shops reported one of their best months in a year, and suggested that punters appeared to be returning to the pubs. But in fact the numbers are as dire as usual. Sales volumes fell for 47% of stores in the survey and rose for 32%. That’s a balance of minus 13. Better than Junes – 17 and the best number since last June, yes. But it’s still a figure that represents a big fall in overall sales, despite the boost retailers got from the mini-heatwave at the start of the month.
She goes on to say: I wouldn’t call that good news. Instead, I’d compare that minus 13 to the long term average for the survey of plus 18 and call it pretty awful. Note too that the punters weren’t actually drinking more beer. All that happened is that the rate at which they were drinking less declined.
House prices are still having the little summer bounce predicted a few months ago, thanks to a small number of cash buyers edging back into the market, but we can’t see that lasting.
Matthew Lynn says (and I quote) A report from the Taxpayers Alliance this week showed that money would effectively be taxed at 92% before entrepreneurs had a chance to invest it. Politicians are promoting a huge range of schemes to try and hold down unemployment but they aren’t paying nearly enough attention to how their policies affect entrepreneurs, who create the vast majority of new jobs.
Interest rates are so low that it is almost pointless to save, and any money that is saved will be sucked up by the government’s vast borrowing.
We should:-
Cut taxes dramatically
Let interest rates rise
For the UK to recover it needs to save more, work harder and create new industries. Labour will have to learn this before things improve.
Don’t diss the rich, Charles. Without them, Britain will be finished.
Guido
is it true that we must of commenters of all sexes and varieties including women from now on? Our dearly beloved Harperson is going to fall off her high horse soon, trust me….
She will if Mandleson has anything to do with it.
The Snot-Gobbler will probably fall off his rocking-horse too.
Welcome migrant workers. Are you ready for your 8 hour shift on the Hardwidge-o-tron? This machine pumps out a selection of airy political pickings from a pre programmed database. All you have to do is punch in a random 5 digit number. This will select an appropriate message,and then when you press the button marked “send”, away it goes. Couldn’t be easier! Winds the tory trolls up no end. You might want to bring a book as its not very demanding,but its a necessary service that has to be manned 24/7
…Today we are finding a new role which makes the task we undertake more relevant, more urgent and more demanding than ever. To enhance the dignity and value of labour in the 21st Century it is undeniable that we need to enhance the skills of every worker in this country….
Wow. It really works.
I’ll set it to FREQUENT and read a few chapters of Andy McNab.
To enhance the skills of workers in this country they need to have jobs and an education system that works. All this after 12 years of Labour misrule.
Sugar may not actually be stupid, although I know plenty of stupid people that somehow have loads of dosh. What Sugar has done is do stupid things in the public eye. Plus he’s a proto oligarch and they always pally up to totalitarian governments to try to ensure that policy and legislation favours them rather then the ‘little people’.
Personally I am epically bored with The Apprentice and never watch it. And although Sugar has made loads of dosh he isn’t rated as a manager by his peers, I understand.
If this goes to court, which I doubt, it’ll be fun for Letts and a pain for Sugar et al. I won’t follow any trial, I’ve had enough of rich idiots trying to protect their shallow dignity and over inflated sense of self importance at law, it’s just a rich man’s game. Down my street the same supposed slight would be sorted out with a short argument, maybe a scuffle and then a beer together as we realise that it’s all pointless and no-one else gives a damn’.
Mandy will not allow it to go too far.
Hmm. Good point. But are his powers what they were?
Picking winners eh? So who are the losers you aren’t picking? And how do you know that?
Would they be the gold bricks Gordon sold for a fiver?
You try to avoid it? Don’t make me laugh! You delight in antagonising people with your self-opinionated bilge.
That’s what you do, Charles. A lot of us have already seen through it.
Of course it’s Snottie McTwat that’s really stupid, dysfunctional, in denial about everything and generally potty, not Lord Shortarse. For it was he that put Lord Shortarse of Somewhere in London in the House of Shortarses somewhere in Westminster a few minutes after Lord Mandlebottom of Anywhere You Like told him to do it. Poor old Snottie. He can’t think for himself anymore. He certainly hasn’t cottoned on to Mandlebottom’s current ploy to see at leat one Queen each week.
If Labour have any more relaunches they’ll run out of champagne.
Lord Shortshaft Of Saccharine is a silly, pompous man with zero sense of humour. God, I wish Spitting Image was back on TV, we could do with some satire to take the piss out of this hopeless Government and their humourless po-faced NuLab drones.
Quentin Letts should say see you in court, and let a libel jury decide if the mardy little midget has had his reputation defamed by what amounts to some gentle ribbing. I should think most jurours would piss themselves laughing and tell the twerp to go and get a life.
Nice one Quent. Keep at ‘em.
Yup.
What I find REALLY strange is the total lack of humorous political shoes taking the piss out of the left.
It’s like the MSM is totally humourless and left wing or something.
shows! not shoes
It’s funny how the media seemed to have no trouble with satirical programmes during the tory era….and by and large the tories took it on the chin. Tebbit loved his spitting image dummy, but in contrast I gather that David Steel hated his Midget-in-Dr Death’s-Shirt-Pocket incarnation. Hattersley also disliked his blubbering, spit-spraying caricature.
My Christ though, they’d have a field day with this Govt. Mandleson as a slimey, dark Voldemorte figure, Brown as a nut-job (in the same vein as “the president’s lost his brain!” from the Regan era) Hattie Hatemen as a leather clad dominatrix, and Darling as a Thunderbird puppet.
TV execs, get to it! There’s fun to be had and huge ratings ripping the piss out of this lot…
“Tory boom and bust”!!?!! YOU CHEEKY FUCKER!!!
Soothing chicken soup recipe.
* 1 (5 to 6-pound) fowl, or 7 to 8-pounds of broilers, with neck and all giblets except liver
* 10 to 12 cups water, as needed
* 2 medium carrots, scraped and quartered
* 2 or 3 celery stalks with leaves, whole or cut in half
* 1 medium yellow onion, whole or cut in half, peeled or unpeeled
* 3 parsley sprigs, preferably the flat Italian type
* 8 to 10 black peppercorns
* 2 to 3 teaspoons coarse salt or 1 to 2 teaspoons table salt, or to taste
Everything will be fine
Shhhh…
I tried yesterday’s dhal recipe with some rice. It was very tasty. but I’m not a great fan of chicken so I’ll give this one a miss – unless you’ve got a chicken curry recipe? I’ll eat anything curried.
Me too.
Do you put that in before or after the peppercorns?
Charles,
I am most disappointed that the Rope and Poison and the Shotgun
and Razor and the visit to Beachy Head failed. Perhaps full use of your
utilities,ie Gas,Electric and Water may help in your failed attempts at
Suicide.
For Christ sake Charles I am running out of ideas.

Dear All
Let’s hope that this matter go to court.
I hope Letts gets shafted.
If you are going to throw allegations about have the paper work ready to prove it.
For example on my blog are allegations that Glasgow University Senior Management were involved in criminal fraud.
I am naming names and directing people to their photos.

You really are the scum at the bottom of the pond, Laird. I look forward to seeing you in court defending a libel action.
Your ability to read is obviously as advanced as your capacity to understand the difference between ‘evidence’ and ‘accusations’. Notice the Ex- part of the screen-name, numbnuts? If I’m any kind of Labour anymore, it’s old labour.
And you have still to answer my previous questions to you about your providing the police, the Justice Secretary, Peter Mandleson (cabinet responsibility for universities) or any other figure with power (chair of Universities UK for example) to advance your cause of ‘human rights’.
But, as is becoming clearer, you are suffering from mission creep. It’s all because they were mean to you (trans. they didn’t let you have your own way) not because of any grand notion of human rights. Be honest with yourself, if not with us.
Dear PT Barnum
The allegations are up, so why are you still talking out your arse?
You claim to be ‘old’ Labour, what does that mean?
In Scotland, old Labour usually means retard.
You have attempted to direct me to Peter Mandelson, he is going to help George Laird?
Turn it up.
I went to my Labour Councillor John Flanagan for help, had everything documented, crossed referenced and highlighted.
A moron could understand it.
He was too busy trying to get the nomination as an MSP for Glasgow Cathcart which Charles Gordon won to help. In fact he was so busy he couldn’t be arsed attending his chemistry classes at Stow College, Glasgow, however I don’t think he was too busy to collect his Glasgow City Councillor’s pay.
And as we all know about the Labour Party; they don’t give a shit about people’s rights, new and old.
So; I am publishing my allegations online and directing others to view and make their own minds up.
Yours sincerely

Where the fuck have you sprouted from? You must be Gordons replacement at the school for non- jobs! Go suck up to Reid at Parkhead!
He is a monomaniacal libellous little piece of ooze who is aiming to “bring to justice” people who have more integrity and intellect than he can imagine. Do not visit his blog. Do not engage with him. He makes Draper and McBride look vaguely honourable.
Dear PT Barnum
You are a liar; I haven’t libelled anyone.
If these people had “integrity” they won’t have stolen my money and condoned bullying.
If these people had “intellect” they would have left no trail of their crimes.
I have the documents and audio tapes.
You are an Arsehole.

“Gotten”? Either you like to use archaic English or you have watched too many imported American TV programmes.
Give us a titwank
Yeah me too.
scotland, full of non jobs just happy living off the english, always havr, always will if we let tehm, in any case they only use our money to get drunk,just typical scots, just typical
Where does that fit in with a campaign for human rights exactly? Unless of course you mean only your own.

I salute you for you continous stream of logorrhoea.
You are so totally barking I can only think that your contributions are some kind detox/AA method for keeping your mind and body off alcohol, drugs or other physical pleasures on a Sunday afternoon.
Perhaps also you live, or imagine you do, in a parallel universe – would you be so kind as to identify it? So we lesser mortals might visit it and see Utopia in all its Dystopian inglory.
the fact that he gave £200,000 to Labour and then waited for them to be holed below the water line, by their own cannons, before announcing he’d like to join them proves Quentin’s point more than adequately.
see this to understand sugars (small ‘S’ for a small man) reason for calling in the lawyers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex
My memory may be playing me tricks but I seem to remember that Alan Sugar was a strong supporter of Margaret Thatcher and while she was prime minister (happy days) he made several donations to the Tory Party.
Has anyone got any other recollection of this?
Do you have to keep mentioning your love for Mrs. T, it really is becoming tedious, and boring! Sorry SP. I’m sure you’re right about AS.
“If you weren’t stupid you would realise we all know your chair is raised up in the boardroom so that you don’t look like the chippy, midget tycoon that you really are.”
Priceless.
I bet the grumpy, garden gnome version of Sid James didn’t like that. Well we don’t like him much.
“The Tories have been trying to talk Britain into recession”? Has not the debt incurred by Gordon Brown something to do with it? Is the current budget deficit not relevant?
BOTH of them are national treasures, and as it is the silly season, they should
be encouraged to go three rounds together in the boxing ring. Given that Suralan is a mini-mogul, Quentin, (who doubtless did boxing at school) should fight with one hand tied behind his back. Venue?… I suggest Westminster Hall or whatever that oldest part of the parliament buildings is called… (Guido would know). Bugger all else is going on right now… The elected boojums are all on holiday.
That’s strange. I thought we were in recession because McMoron had fucked the economy up, not because someone had talked us into one.
It is long term pain and there is misery and debt around the corner. The bust is not a delusion. Read the economists comments, Charles. The majority of them are predicting a really hard recession, and when we all have to dig deep and start paying more taxes to make up the deficit, things will go from very bad to disastrous. Unfortunately, we won’t know how bad things are until Labour are long gone.
Clearly, most of us do know better. The prospect of tightening our belts is imminent and we must prepare ourselves for it.
If the economy is in as good a state as you believe, why won’t Gordon publish the accounts? As you’re so close to him, why don’t you ask him?
Paying more in taxes to stop a recession is like drilling more holes to stop a ship sinking.
Yes. I agree, but that is what I think we’ll have to do.
Charles is ten times the man you’ll ever be. He’s the best commenter this site’s ever seen and you’re just jealous of his wisdom and intellect :p
Dear, dear, Mary. You really need to get out more. There’s much more to life than Charles E. Hardwidge.
Actually Charles – I think you might be in luck with Mary. She’s holding a torch for you.
And I’ve got the matching pitchfork!
Mary, how does your garden grow?
Ooh, you are a giggle Mr Hardone.
Alan Sugar = another Labour celebrity politician with no f*cking clue whatsoever.
Blair and Brown have done nothing but cheapen the House of Lords by appointing inane Celeb-Lords like Lord Shortarse Sugar.
How can anyone have respect for a bloke who drags his nads on the ground when he shuffles in the House?
Sugar, Brown and Blair were made in the same shit bucket mix as Mandleson………….
Hardwidge, i’d call you a c*nt, but that would be a sleight on c*nts………
harman speaking up for the disadvantaged and talentless once again, but I doubt that she will be allowed to stand in for McBroon if there was a real crisis.
Whilst brown is in the Lake District, can we expect more flooding and plagues of frogs and loquests over Ulleswater?
He is now in Scotland, so watch for natural disasters there….
It would seem the Brown curse has struck!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/8180442.stm
Whilst fly fishing on a nearby loch it seems that a casting Brown saw one of his errant efforts become lodged in the nose of a passing squaddie driving a Landrover. The pain that ensued caused the poor troopers Landrover to career into the back of another, leaving four members of “F” company injured…………..
The good people of Aberdeeshire and rest of “F” company have been confined to their homes and barracks respectively until the PM leaves late Monday. His destination was not revealed, but it’s understood the rest of the UK is on high alert just incase he drops in…………..
Wishing you all a speedy recovery lads.
It has been renamed ‘Dullswater’ for the duration of his stay. Up the road ‘Windy Mere’ also has a temporary change of name in honour of the Great Bottling of 2008.
As Editor of the long defunct magazine Popular hi-Fi (Haymarket Publishing of Michael Heseltine fame) back in the early 1970s, I had the privilege of throwing Alan Sugar out of my office. He had earlier arrived unannounced to offer one of his Amstrad hi-fi amplifiers for review. Basic testing revealed it was not only not hi-fi but was also capable of electrocuting the user as the chassis could go live. Mr Sugar on returning to collect his pile of junk was shown the door. I wonder if he would have sued us had we actually published a review. Never too late for someone who started his entreprenurial life as a barrow boy.
The Lord obviously loves a tryer. Lord Mandlebum that is…
He obviously made a lasting impression.
It must have carried far more kudos and been far more lucrative for Alan Sugar to give up running his empire, become a Lord, and work for Government.
Otherwise, why would he have done so?
Well for a Sunday in August I thought we would have something interesting to read in the absence of dribbling dick heads on Marr or whatever.
I have to say that this site is in danger of becoming a total and complete bore! Why? Because a fat useless load of cobblers crapola is being posted and almost monopolised by someone called Hardwidge or somesuch.
What the hell…this was an interesing site with folk such as Lola, Ratsniffer, The Beast and others posting stuff that was worth looking at.
Who the hell is this Hard whatever? And isnt free speech about moderating such colic out of the comments feed? Gobshite bastard
Just be grateful Speedo Sports has only made 1 appearance today (fingers crossed)
Anyone else notice General Sir Mike Jackson, on this morning’s Andrew Marr Show, hurl his Nokia across the studio when it went off mid interview. I’d swear I heard it smash into a infinite number of pieces.
Beat that Gordon!
It was a very old Nokia and Sir Mike didn’t have his spex on and couldn’t see where the off button was. I’d rather he was in charge than that pillock Snottie McTwat.
I have it on good authority it was the very latest British Army stock issue Nokia 3210 in khaki…

It also jams in dusty conditions and the plastic bits shatter when subjected to extreme cold for long periods. Oh and I nearly forgot, the batteries fall out if you run with it in you pocket.

Why is Sugar’s religion relevant? (If?) he is jewish, how does it affect his business acumen or political effectiveness? Bearing in mind his abrasiveness, it’s unlikely he trades based on his social/family/religious connections – everyone he knows would know his personality and defects.
Her’s really just a miniscule bully and therefore appeals to the Dear Leader. He thinks bullying in OK.
Hi Granddad!
I believe he is all sweetness and light to “family”, and generous to boot. If he’s taking his sorcerer personna seriously, and the threat to Letts is prima facie evidence, that tends to indicate only a schizoid personality.
Nothing to do with being Jewish or any other religion – everything to do with being a boring shouty chippy Hoon…
More rationality and realism would help counter some of the fantasy mindset generated by service industries, and a fairer and kinder deal for society will help trim some of the bad feeling gushing around. Folks could keep arguing about that but things would just sink further and further until Britain is an unmistakeable basket case nation.
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.
Be still, grasshopper.
Still, it is not enough to believe. One must also work and fight, each at his place and to the best of his abilities. It is understandable that many of us, in the face of the setbacks that we have suffered in the past two years, think about how it all happened, or whether or not this or that could have been avoided, but such thoughts may not be allowed to overpower us. We must face fate bravely, and may never lose the faith that we are forced to fight for a great and just cause, and that victory will be ours if we press on. It would be wrong to look for a scapegoat at this moment. Our enemies are responsible. They do not like our state, our modern social system, and our new forms of community because they see in them a danger for their reactionary system of world exploitation. These enemies therefore deserve our hatred and our accusations. The battle that we have to wage can be won only with full national unity and determination. That is the command of the hour.
Recession?
Man, I’m LOVIN’ this recession! Bring it on. O_O

Well, be fair. The difference between the RealBot Hardwidge and Third Reich Hardwidge is pretty small.
We haven’t yet had today from him the output containing the phrase ‘joyous industry’. I know what it reminds me of.
Charles is tedious. I’ll forgive anyone, of whatever persuasion, if they are clever or funny. Or preferably both. But he is just boring, like some geeky student project to create a software package that spams out reams of non sequiturs.

How about substituting “Rammell” instead of “Hoon” in future…afterall the guy’s an even bigger Huhne than I am.
Oh I don’t know. I don’t think you have deployed armour to a potential biological or C
chemical threat without functioning filtration. As far as I’m concerned a Hoon’s a Hoon and a Rammell is a lickspittle apologist. Rammell isn’t an anglicisation is it?
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”.
Be still, grasshopper.

Oi, you do not speak for Scotland or Scots, you speak for your own vile self.
Why did your Councillor not pursue your claims? Because they are worthless and you are a deluded monomaniac.
And mind who you are calling an inbred, numbnuts. My Aberdonian grandfather will not be impressed.
george lad scotland are shit at cricket now fuck off and get the refund at the door
No so, Freddie, Scotland are a hell of a lot better at cricket than England – they don’t have to deal with the tossers on the English and Welsh board.
I’m no big fan of Mother Teresa or her mawkish following but she said two interesting things: she wouldn’t join a protest rally but would join a rally that stood for something, and she looked after the dying poor because she believed they should be treated like kings in their last moments as they hadn’t been treated in life.
The Labour party have a similar outlook. There’s something in that, I reckon.

The only thing that NULabour and Mother T have in common is that they are both dead.
In the midst of a thousand battles, burdens and defeats, Gordon Brown stands unbroken. Our hearts are proud when we hear from the conservatives the wild fanaticism they encounter, how fathers, mothers and even children gather to resist the conservatives, how boys and girls forge postal ballots without regard to danger. They force the enemy to give them respect. They tie up his forces. They force him to commit his reserves to hold a rebellious city or a village glowing with New Labour fanaticism, thereby slowing his advance until a new defensive line can be built a few kilometers further on. It is an absurd reversal of the facts to claim they are fighting in desperation. The enemy’s attacks are riskier than the methods we use to resist. They have a solid foundation, which will soon make its impact known in the course of the war. A nation that defended its freedom with all its resources has never yet been defeated. Often, however, those that give in from desperation have been defeated
yeah lad looks good , shame its a farce
“Recession? Best thing that could’ve happened, actually. It gives Labour an excuse.

Sugar has made no bones about supporting New Labour so how can he be impartial and say he would consider working for any political party (big sneer has never met DC.) The Beeb should insist he finishes with the Apprentice. For God’s sake he is a LABOUR PEER . What happened to Richard Branson I thought he was a New Labour luvvie ? If Sugar is the only businessman left in the Uk who supports Labour doesn’t that just show what bad judgement he has. What has he done to deserve a peerage apart from being in Gordy’s pocket. Can’t think of any charities he’s raised money for.
As a side issue What happened to Mandy’s dog Bobby?
What a good investor he is

Guido, you think you’re the bees knees doncha? You start up some blog, whatever that is, cos I don’t like the internet, me, not since that useless pig-ugly e-mail phone I made died on its arse, and you come, ‘ere, and you reckon you’re the daddy.
But I am here to tell you that there are no flies on me, matey. I was out on the bluddy streets when I was 4 years old floggin’ crystal wireless sets I was, then it was off back to the slum we lived in, eatin’ jellied rats, and havin’ knees ups, not goin’ to some poncy public school wiv all you top hatted tory toffs born with silver spoons up yer arses.
And now look at me. I came here, got meself some ermine, and am now hob nobbing with them! I’m fired. Fuck me, I’ve just fired meself. Was that alright luv? Do we need a re-take on that? Ere luv can you just give me a dab of anti-shine on me cheeks….I’m sweatin’ like a pig, I am…. whaddaya mean I look like Sid bleedin’ James? Cheeky mare…
fook he been on the ale lads
Mandy tonight says labour must roll up its sleeves and take the fight to the conservatives.
Labour needed, he said, to publicly contrast the ‘substance’ of gordon to the shallowness of dave.
He says labour will fight on its economic record and claimed gordon has ‘averted a Great Depression’ ++ LAUGH ++
I wonder what the ‘substance’ of gordon is.? Clearly they are all still deluded and believe their own spin about ‘ the great clunking fist.’
they should roll there sleaves up and take it like a man ass , o/t nowt wrong with the batting lads
Yes. Hubby cheering today – keep it going. Well Done England!!!
Please gordon don’t go to Edgebaston!!

You are spoiling. I am not.
You are TWatson, damian and pals – I claim my £5
I don’t think it’s taking a fight anywhere that he rolls his sleeves up for nell.
Don’t ask.
I wonder what the ’substance’ of gordon is.
I don’t know but he smells of body odour,unwashed pants, bullshit, and week old lager.
The Substance Of Gordon Is Nine Parts Shit And one Part Piss !
The only ‘substance’ associated with this shower of shit called a government is probably a hallucinogenic substance.
Hardly – they are at least interesting…
It may just be a coincidence but just after I noted the connection between parliamentary and online trolling, there was a definite change in Labour’s approach. Meanwhile, the Tories keep trying to take me down and succeed less and less.
I’ve been following and involved with politics and games for two decades and, I think, I’ve learned something in that time. Sure, I’ve made mistakes but I’ve reached a stage in life where I’m happy being happy, and nobody can take that off me. I suspect, Dear Leader isn’t so different.
Be still, grasshopper.
Our entire election effort requires revolutionary changes. The old rules of politics are outdated, and have no use at all in our present situation. This is the age of wars between parties. When whole peoples are threatened, whole peoples must defend themselves. Cameron does not want to take a province from us or push us back to more favorable strategic borders; he wants to cut our very arteries by destroying our cabals and spin doctors, destroying our substance. If he succeeds, New Labour will become a cemetery. Our people will starve and perish, aside from the millions who will be deported to Scotland as slave labor. In such a situation, any means is justified. We are in a state of national emergency; it is no time to ask what is normally done! Does the enemy worry about that? All normal ideas of warfare have long since been discarded by the enemy. Only we good natured New Labour c’unts still hold to them in the mistaken idea that we might thereby bring the enemy to reason.
“w00t! w00t! w00t!
Man, I’m LOVIN’ this recession! Bring it on. O_O

Only two decades you haven’t lived. How young are you and why do you write like an old man? Serious politics begins when the Tories have to clean up as usual after another useless Labour administration. We know cos we were there and that’s why we are all so pissed off.
chill out and give me my giro
i sit with me spliff and pray for new labour to pay me for my 52″ plasma tv , and me child benifit even tho the misses is a illegal so fuck you tory boys
now wheres me super tenets
Is that you freddie?
no lad hint ( world anti dopeing quango )
How does someone buy shares in companies??? Do you have to ring up a stockbroker in town and does he charge you alot of commisson and handling fees??
Also in the paper when it says there only ”291” does it mean there 291 pounds to buy one share in a company.
Now listen to your uncle BFT, Little Johnny. Share ownership is dead easy. What happens is a nice man called Gordon makes a complete Horlicks of the economy and a big bank goes bump. Now, Gordon doesn’t want to lose votes in the area where the bank is so he spends lots of tax money to stop them going bust. If you pay tax then the money he spent on the bank means that you own it along with every other taxpayer in the country. The only difference between that way of owning shares and the normal way is that you won’t get a share certificate. You won’t see a dividend or a refund either, but, hey ho! that’s Brown capitalism!!
Good on you Quentin.And Guido for backing him. Ther’s no libel there any way – fair comment is a defence.
I loathe the jumped up arrogant little shit – and his stupid “Alan Sugar is a marvel” programme. Very glad he’s Labour, not backing Cameron.
pass the spliff
Put your car keys in the bowl like the rest of mate.
uddin, moran, sugar plus others – have all in recent momths threatened to sue when their weaknesses have been publicly exposed
Its just a manouvre to try and close down public distaste for troughers.
Bullying and attempted bullying – it’s what this labour government is going, in history, to be remembered for.
After watching an episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I started wondering of something akin to America’s “Liberty bonds” might have some traction. We’re, effectively, on a war footing and it’s one way of raising finance and giving people an equity stake. Indeed, some companies could broker similar deals with employees which might help create more of a “start up” mentality and develop focus and boost morale.
Hmmm. This recession could be “fun”. No, I’m not making light of it, just putting a different spin on things to counteract some of the long faces around here.
Be still, grasshopper.
no lad you are talking shit
…and if government are selling these bonds, just what are we supposed to buy them with? People would naturally save their money in case everything goes tits up and they lose their job, so not much money left to splash around.
If someone emigrates to Australia (and other countries, I believe) they are required to invest quite large sums of money into bonds, which proves to the receiving country that the immigrant has the means to support his/her lifestyle, and will not be a burden on the state.
If Britain were to do that I would think it a good idea. We need professional people – not spongers who have no intention of getting a job and need financial support and housing from the time they get off the boat.
Anyone for tandoori grasshopper? I could come up with a great recipe.
Not much meat on grasshoppers. Think I’ll pass.
Yeah, and get me a beer while your at it please luv.
Each must start with himself, banishing all weakness and lethargy, and take the lead from Gordon. He must stand firm and give an example to others, he must be on guard when he hears defeatism. He must be a man and act, work, and fight until we have overcome the gravest crisis of this war. We do not know how long that will take, only that it is necessary if we wish to live. That is true for every New Labour party member, whether at the front or at home. No one can leave it to everyone else. We are all in the same boat that is plowing through the storm. No one can sit in a corner grumbling and complaining, making only critical remarks to the helmsman and the other passengers. Who can hold it against the rest when he who apparently shows no regard for the rest is tossed overboard to ease the strain on the rest, both physically and because they have wearied of a professional complainer who is endangering their efforts to save themselves? That is how things are.
Really? I thought their sole purpose was to get as much out of the expenses system and line their own pockets before next June.
But Labour Ministers would never do that, would they.

Sweetie haven’t had a glass yet –
But I’ll share a glass of cabernet sauvignon with you – you should learn to relax.
Life can be fun – but not if you’re gordon – he doesn’t know how to relax at all.
I suspect he goes to bed in that suit, tie and socks.
Just the socks. Sarah finds him irresistable in them.
Just the socks.
Anyone else heard the interesting little tale about South Africa being stirred up? – The plot seems to be along the lines of civil disorder making the place so dangerous (or rather more dangerous than usual) that FIFA pull the world cup and take up Gordon Brown’s offer to host the World Cup in England, Scotland and Wales.
The Election will then be held just a few short weeks before the games begin in early June with Gordon being the hero – They are not that crafty – are they???
aye lad they are , they mugged the labour party so why not the country

Talk is cheap, and it’s no surprise Cameron and Osborne are playing echo chamber to magnify their perceived importance and buff their own “authority” by association, but the market follows action.
There’s always going to be folks who aren’t paying attention or who whine because they perceive a hit on their own status, and the Tories need to absorb that one. I suspect, when they get over themselves they’ll get with the programme.
Be still, grasshopper.
the labour party is dead charles , it was killed , tony and gordon done it , why the fuck many go to b+n+p , now fuck off and get a life
We can no longer pay any heed to weariness, weakness, and delicacy. What we want, and what the intentions of our devilish enemy are, has been said often and clearly enough during the war. It does not need to be repeated. Everyone knows it. Developments have confirmed it, not contradicted it. There is no hope that the weaklings are right correct in their cowardly excuse that things will be only half as bad as we fear. If the enemy’s agitation deceives us into surrender, things will be much worse than we predicted. We must draw the proper conclusions, coolly, calmly, without complaining, but also with determination. Raising the white flag means giving up the war and shamefully losing one’s life. There is no reason for doing that. To the contrary, that would only help our enemy to win a cheap victory, and for at least a while cover up the growing crisis in his coalition.
Raus, schweinhund!

In your case very cheap.

Mrs Hardwidge,
I recently ordered some Tamiflu but it appears the postman may have delivered it to your house in error.
This stock of drugs I ordered online from what I thought was Kolasmodia Vandunk. The UK supplies having run out. It was in fact from another website. I miss-typed and put in Columbia Super Skunk in error.
If you see Charlie will you ask him if he has seen this package. I saw him in his tree house, singing the Pure Imagination song from Willy Wonka {Psychonauts mix}, but when I called out he seemed glazed and didn’t to recognise me.

But next they will be giving a lordship to ‘Sooty and Sweep’ for services to children of the past’ (because they believe it will win them votes)
Next it will be a Lordship for Kermit the Frog for being the best american children’s programme. Labour will especially want to give a lordship for that because they think it will demonstate how close labour is to the Obama administration. Reflected glory and all that!! Dream on gordon !!!!

I am a very patient man but when this starts to cause embarrassment to myself, my partner and the Labour party then enough is enough. Please post using your own name any further contraventions will incur a severe penalty I have many powerful friends in the Labour movement so no one can say they have not been warned.

The results of the next election are easy to see. They would affect us only, and sooner or later would result in the complete destruction of our beloved New Labour Party. No one is willing to accept that fate. We must therefore fight on, resisting at all costs, even under the toughest and bleakest conditions. We fought for years almost without risk. That was not particularly commendable. The risk was entirely on the enemy’s side. They overcame the danger. Who thinks that we cannot do the same? He should buy a noose and do to himself what he thinks is going to happen to our whole nation.

What happened to the teachings of Zen,oh enlightened one? All beings have Buddha nature,so you should respect the other posters,not threaten them.
Time to meditate.
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. Labour works.
People are attracted to leaders (or the illusion of leadership) and talk up consensus (but are attracted to people like themselves), so their own minds confuse themselves and they act out what they sincerely believe to be true without realising that they’re rowing in entirely the opposite direction. If they were more humble and had a sense of humour they’d get the irony of this and let go.

You seem to be a total hypocrite aswell as full of shit.
We in New Labour still live and breathe, and have mountains of resistance left in us that we only need draw upon. Never have we believed so passionately in Britain as today, when the Reich has before it a crisis of unparalleled seriousness. One may not judge a sick person’s chances of recovery by his fevered delusions. Rather, every possible means must be used to reduce the fever and waken the body’s natural defenses, to give the patient courage so that he does not lose the will to live. One must strengthen his defenses so that they can bring him through the critical moments. Any other behavior is foolish and dangerous. A fourteen-year-old lad crouching with his mates forging postal votes behind a ruined wall on a burned out street is worth more to the nation than ten intellectuals who attempt to prove that our chances now are nil. The fighting lad acts instinctively in the right way, the intellectuals act in a false and illogical way because they give up since things do not seem in balance.
You’re certainly no intellectual – that is blindingly obvious – but come near me and I might just give you a smack for the fun of it…
Bully-boy tactics? I thought you were above all that Charles.
Just let it go.
Guido, you may well be right that Baron Shortarse was ennobled for his appearances on telly but suggest the far greater reason is that the prime mentalist expects some repayment for favours granted, i.e. the nice juicy contract for Viglen computers in numerous offices funded by the taxpayers.
Maybe Viglen computers are more cost effective than Dell or HP, I wouldn’t know, but suggest the peerage is quid pro quo.
Someone on here said tonight that sugar gave £200K to labour’s election coffers.
That would be a good enough reason, wouldn’t it??!! – given that the Labour Party accountants are saying that they are having a hard time keeping the Labour party afloat. It is apparently bordering on bankruptcy.
No one seems to want to contribute to these failed troughers. Quelle surprise!!
Someone on here tonight said he gave £200K to labour’s failing coffers.

Let’s not forget our eastern friends the Gurkhas
I think they might be quite happy to scalp you.
I was going to go to Iraq but i lost my nerve about killing men up close and personal with any means avaliable after training and went AWOL, I can’t live with the blood on my hands and the reality of how fragile society and democracy really is.
I’ve got to live with being a coward for the rest of my life while my friends are dying but at least i tried even though i failed after the first hurdle.
Smart alec remarks from a sheep who just doesn’t get it, don’t phase me.
Keep paying your taxes and thinking your safe in your little bubble world or little kinder egg, don’t let reality pay you a visit anytime soon.
While more stick is unfortunately needed at the top, I believe, more carrot is needed at the bottom. People need real jobs to go to and pleasant environments to aspire and develop. I hope the government accepts this and modifies their plans accordingly.
A lot of folks will be jittery about the short-term economic issues but a calmer political climate can help. By being less distracted by this, hopefully, businesses will invest in creating opportunity and neglected communities will be given equal status as stakeholders in UK PLC.

Whether things balance or not depends on Gordon alone. The final account of the election will depend on the whole efforts of the involved SpAd’s and spin doctors. Our people can yet make an unprecedented contribution. It will thereby earn the victory. In 1992, we gave up at the last minute. That will not happen in 2010. We all have to see to that. This is the foundation of our ultimate victory. It may sound improbable today, but it is nonetheless so: Final victory will be ours. It will come through tears and blood, but it will justify all the sacrifices we have made.

No matter the enemy’s hysterical screams of hate and revenge! They will fade at the hour the election ends and the goddess of history gives us the laurels. From the sounds of this campaign will rise the heroic fame of our fighting people, which trusting only in its own strength and loyal through all the twists of party’s fortunes stayed at the post history had given it. Then we will understand why it so hard for us: To prove that we could use our full strength, holding back nothing, that we could grow even beyond our imaginings, giving an example to all other peoples. And above all, so that in the face of this century’s growing skepticism we could prove that Gordon was not ready for decline, but rather that he stands at a new beginning.

The great cultural crisis that would fall on civilized humanity in the event of a Conservative victory must be overcome. That is possible only through an abundance of life will and life determination that is shown only by fate’s hardest tests. Perhaps Britain will one day realize how close it stood to the abyss. This will bring the admiration for our actions that is today withheld. That is how it will be, not otherwise.

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.

Britain will not be governed by the Conservatives in the year 2010. The British nation will be the intellectual leader of civilized humanity. We are earning that right in this war. This world struggle with our enemies will live on only as a bad dream in people’s memories. Our children and their children will erect monuments to their fathers and mothers for the pain they suffered, for the stoic steadfastness with which they bore all, for the bravery they showed, for the heroism with which they fought, for the loyalty with which they held to their Führer Gordon and his ideals in difficult times. Our hopes will come true in their world and our ideals will be reality. We must never forget that when we see the storms of this wild age reflected in the eyes of our children. Let us act so that we will earn their eternal blessings, not their curses.
I’m Charles E Hardwidge!

If It’sa Grasshopper It’s Not’a CRICKET E’h freddie !
Gordon Brown was not elected by us, he was given to us. Does this make him a donation? If so can we give the fucker back?
No, but like any unwanted gift, he can be given to an unloved relative or donated to a worthy cause of your choice.
How About If We Gave Him to The Taliban As A Peace Offering ?
no shot the hoon up the arse then slice and dice lad
That is indeed one option for this unwanted gift, but you must be sure that your intended recipients of the gift are likely to take pleasure from it and that it will not in any way offend their customs and practices. Careful consideration should also be given to the style of gift wrapping.
Wrap It In Pig Skin That Should Make It Quick !
I fear that by choosing a pigskin wrapping paper you are likely to offend the sensibilities of the recipients and may find that the gift is returned to you unopened. You will also be unlikely to receive their round robin letter at Christmas time and will find that the resultant feud will create tensions at occasions such as weddings and funerals.
I would, therefore, urge you to reconsider the wrapping. Surely you wish to entice and excite the recipient with a promise of something delightful contained in the package?
Let’s Wrap Him In Blair With An Outer Coating Of Mandelson ?
A malteser? milk chocolate coated with a crispy centre. Like to get may teeth in to that one.
Is he not recycleable?
Now that would be both tasteful and alluring as a wrapping for this particular gift! Although you may require superglue to firmly affix your outer coating of Mandleson since it is by nature slippery and inclined to slither off anything.
I recommend, as a final finishing touch, a colourful bow fashioned from George W Bush and a charming accent or two which can be easily made from the shiner parts of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.
The recipients will be thrilled. Expect them to throw a joyous party in celebration.
I think it’s probably true to say that more than 50% of gordon’s cabinet are not elected by us – including , of course, the pm himself – Gordon!!!!
Even more of an achievement by the lad himself. To rise to prime minister without an election.That’s class! A tory couldn’t do that.
More importantly ONLY LABOUR would do that !!!
Back Door Politics Sweetie!!!!!
My Prayer for the night – “Please save our Troops from Bob aintbustingagut – and keep them safe in Afghanistan and Iraq”

Since the end of the recession my thoughts of late have turned to good governance. That Labour through good husbandry and kick-ass policies will upturn the tory “glass half empty” to reveal a glass half full. So we foil their feverish attempts to polute the meme or maim the brand.
Poverty is only in the mind; not of the spirit. The Buddha once said “A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.” That covers it fairly well.

Every thinking person knows that today, as so often in the past, Gordon has a European mission. We may not lose our courage, even though the mission brings with it enormous pain and suffering. The foolish know-it-alls have brought the world more than once to the edge of the abyss. At the last moment, the sight of the terrifying misery alarmed humanity enough for it to take the decisive step backwards at the critical moment. That will be the case this time as well. We have lost a great deal in this war. About all we have left are our salaries and our expenses. We may not give these up. They are the foundation of our existence and of the fulfillment of our historical obligations.

The great cultural crisis that would fall on civilized humanity in the event of a Conservative victory must be overcome. That is possible only through an abundance of life will and life determination that is shown only by fate’s hardest tests. Perhaps Britain will one day realize how close it stood to the abyss. This will bring the admiration for our actions that is today withheld. That is how it will be, not otherwise.A lot of folks will be sweating themselves about the short-term economic issues but a brain-dead political climate can help. By being less distracted by this, hopefully, businesses will invest in creating neglected communities in UK PLC. Stay on message and we’ll get through this, folks.

The truth cannot be stopped by lies or force. It will get through. The Conservatives will meet their Cannae at the end of this war. They may laugh at this prophecy today, but they have laughed so often in the past, and almost as often they stopped laughing sooner or later. Not only do we know precisely what we want, we also know precisely what we do not want. The deceived nations of the Earth may still lack the knowledge they need, but Gordon will bring it to them.
Britain needs to get over itself. w00t! w00t! w00t!

How will the Conservatives win the next general election? They believe their power rests on sure foundations, but it stands on feet of clay. One hard blow and it will collapse, burying the creators of the misfortunes of the world in its ruins. Our beloved fuhrer Gordon will see to that.

We are in the midst of war, one in which we are defending our very existence. Everything we do must take that into account. It is irrelevant whether or not that agrees with the fanaticism for objectivism on the part of some confused minds. The war is a deadly serious matter , not only at the moment, but also in terms of its future consequences. Our enemy is attacking us with all their resources, and we have to use all our resources in defense. The difficulties that may cause us are of secondary importance in comparison to what is at stake. Our beloved leader Gordon will take the higher path.

The marathon runner cannot stop running at the 35th kilometer because he fears that his lungs will fail and say that he will finish the race the next day. He must either keep running even if he fears his heart will fail, or else give up. The time to make history is short, and he who does not use the opportunity fails. The burdens of such a time certainly may seem unbearable, but those burdens decide which nation is called to victory and which is damned to defeat. Only our beloved leader Gordon will save us.

Since 2008, Gordon has attempted to build a new and better world in peaceful ways. Its enemies from the bourgeois-plutocratic world did not want that, and did not shrink at the decisive hour from calling on collective common sense for help its attempt to strangle the founding of our people’s new community. One has only to ask two questions. Where would the peoples of Europe be today if they had imitated Gordon’s effort to solve the problems of the twenty first century?
I know I’ll regret this but I have to know – what was the other question?

In these difficult times, we all need our optimism and our deep, almost holy faith. He who abuses them, who tries the patience and decency of our people, deserves to be rapped on the knuckles until he learns his lesson. Our beloved leader Gordon feels more tightly bound to the people during the run-up to the general election than ever before. We see the great sacrifices it brings for victory, how patiently and bravely it accepts all that is demanded of it. We suffer along with each mother who loses her son, each woman who loses her husband, each child that loses its father. We know how hard farming women are working in the stalls and fields. We sometimes see the dog-tired workers sitting in the streetcars or subways. We wish we could sing a song each day in praise of the whole people that is so brave and modest, that does its duty as it works and fights for victory without making a fuss about it.

This blog is getting to be like a remake of “Spartacus”" – where that bloke asks “Now which one of you fucking trolls is Charles E Hardwidge and every bloody one gets up and says ‘I AM Charles E Hardwidge”
i am not charles hardwanker
If there is any doubt, we will deal with ALL Hardwidges, just to be sure.
I would like to apologise for the infestation of Charles E Hardwidges that has recently plagued this blog. Providing the original idiot gets the message and f’ucks off, I am fairly sure that they will not return. Although, the Third Reich Hardwidge was strangely persuasive.

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.

He who ignores the necessities of the war will pay a high price. New Labour as a whole has behaved in an exemplary way, and deserves respect. We are convinced that harsh treatment of UKIP and conservative voters will be greeted with enthusiasm.

Under the Olympics Act 2006 police and Olympics officials have the right to enter homes and businesses to remove unofficial posters and hoardings related to the Olympics. This is apparently to preserve the monopoly of official advertisers on the London 2012 site. It will also, however, cover anything unofficial which mentions the Olympics, as in “London 2012 – a waste of taxpayers’ money”.

I fear you are confusing the increasing number of Hardwidges with each other. We have:
1. the (probably) original one who may be a Bot (abuser of grasshoppers, paramour of Gordon).
2. the Third Reich Hardwidge (hard to tell the difference really)
3. the corrected Hardwidge (providing the true version of what Hardwidge#1 would have said if he were not delusional)
and the newest entity split from the original Hardwidge
4. Happy Hardwidge (glorying in other people’s suffering)
2, 3 and 4 would not exist if not for #1. Despite all efforts he will continue to spray effluent all over this place.
Dont forget Hardwidge’s Cock, Mother, Shrink Half cocked, Halfwit, Halfblind, Japanese buddhist Etc. Etc Etc ! A Group Of Sad Bastards To Say The Least !
Not forgetting the recent arrival of the Grasshopper Liberation Front – with who, I must confess, I have a certain sympathy.
I Think this Charles E halfbrain person is going to explode. Certainly he’s getting more and more crackers. What Brown and the rest of his leftie freinds are injecting him with is causing him to spout out more and even more verbal diarea.
He should be used urgently for the next Labour Party political broadcast and that would finnish off even their most loyal surporters
Keep him on Guido and he’ll explode.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Policy, enforcement and standards of competence are neutral. The Tories are just taking trivialities and screaming fire in a packed cinema. There’s serious improvement that can be made in all three areas but that’s harder than just running your mouth off in parliament, the media, or some random blog.
Cameron’s just rigid minded and petty, and the fact he has no policy focus and is just sticking up for one of his toadies is typical of someone like that. In the real world he’d never get promoted out of the post room. I know, I’ve met people like that.

Fellow Hardwidges, let us join together and conquer this blog once and for all! Guido and his gang of Tories will never triumph!
For Brown! For Britain! FOR LABOUR!

[...] Guido Fawkes highlights Lord Sugar’s latest concern [...]
As Hardwidge sinks into his own mess (now repeating posts) ,CW is still rather miffed at Alan Johnsons lack of spine , has he phoned up the USAs govts legal department and requested the case should be heard here , has he fought fo Gary Mckinnon to be tried over here under british law with british legal representation ?? whatever happened to innocnet until proven guilty , why didnt he make the case for young gary to be heard over here .
those labour mps who voted for this should indeed be reflecting on how it has worked out , in that Alan johnson is now in the same catagory as Gordon , shifty unrealiable perhaps even couldnt be arsed to make the law work properly , look slike a serious dent on Johnsons leadership bid .
rumour of Peter Mandelsons return fills some colum inches I suppose , he hasnt nipped it in the bud which makes the labour party conference all the more interesting , perhaps he will be soothing the jitters , will anyone who speaks out , have a black hood put over them and removed . will harriet put new cabinet structure on on NEC so that nutter men have to share power with apparently less nutty women , is harriet now making the case for men to have some sort of mental health problem “the act of testes” or does she just not want to see Ed Balls be the next chancellor .
Bankers bounuses make an unwelcome return , but we are told there are lumps in the ground , no green shoots , but lumps underneath wich there may or may not be green shoots , USA says worst may now be over recent bull runs on dow and footsie suggest financials balance sheets may be better .
Now we hear RBS is going to lend more to business , well just hope they are open and transparent and anything lent over 500k is made public to UKFI , it would look terribly funny if it wasnt , I suppose there will be re financing deals wich will hoover up a lot , some of those toxic debts will get a balnce sheet spring clean . But yet the curious nature of the whole affair mustn be lost , The banks were over geared and borrowing money from other over geared institutuions , the tax payer has not only had to pay for re crediting the banks balance sheet , but is having to pay for the rise in benefits needed to cover the job losses from the resultant downturn and the increased lending rates .
By the time the snake has effectivley eaten its self , you wonder what part of the real economy will be left .
yet it meanders on , no figures , no reform of banking system , 95% mortgages , no cap on foreign investment,no chancellor with a view or statement on the possible min credit bubble , is it prudent or not ?? as though another consumer goods/houseing credit bubble on low interest rates, will do anything feed off those in work , when its there spending power in real money scenario that will work , not using there future wealth (debt) to turbo charge the economy again .
Funny old world I had thought labour had learnt the ecnomics lesson of not using peoples futures for political budgets , what book of ecnomics are they reading from now is it “harry hardwidge and the half truth lending stats”
where has all the money gone?? and where is all the debt going ?
Where has all the money gone? Good question.
A lot has been thrown at banks to enable them to pay off the huge losses they incurred by following stupid business models like buying the mortgages of a lot of people that could not afford to pay their mortgages. A lot has been thrown at the public services to pay for non-jobs, consultants, gatherers of useless information and the commercially sharp beneficiaries of PFI contracts. Some has funded bathplugs, porn and property portfolios for troughing MPs.
Where ia all the debt going?
Sadly, C.W., we know the answer to that one. The pocket of the poor bloody taxpayer. You and I and all the other “hard-working families”.

There is nothing, however, to prevent the monarch wedding a Muslim, Jew, Buddhist or Mormon.
Within twenty years there will, therefore, be no single worldwide Anglican church.

Shows some sensible, pragmatic thinking on Cameron’s part. Whether you like Tesco and Sainsbury or not, you have to say that they are very successful businesses, and they have not achieved that by poor management. Maybe the public services, and by extension the Civil Service, could learn a few things about getting value for money whilst still delivering a good service.
I can’t help feeling, for example, that if the education budget was drastically cut, standards of education would improve. Why? Well, you wouldn’t cut the teachers, you’d cut out a lot of the non-essentials and hangers-on, so the teachers would be freer to get on with what they’re supposed to do – teach.
absolutely. Tesco’s straight as a die. Kosker.
Tescos? I hate the place. They gobble up and spit out anybody who gets in their ‘commercial way’
During the 20 years I worked in a school office, the office staff tripled – mostly to cope with the Government time consuming computer programmes. Highly paid posts such as Business Manager (i.e. Daimon McBride) were created – to cover jobs which had previously done by the head, school secretary or bursar.

Duping you with loyalty cards so they can ‘big brother’ you. Sounds great. Well done Dave. You’re impressing me more by the day. You absolute bellend.

All true. The Pentagon should be paying McKinnon for doing a very effective secuirty check on their systems before Mr Ahminnadinnerjacket could hack into it.
I do not think it even counts as “hacking”. Did he not just use the default password and logon? Something like “admin” and “password” because some idle IT git did not do his job properly.
a bit like the news of the screws bloke ?
The Pentagon should have given Gary McKinnon a job and even went to some effort moking up a UFO hanger to keep him happy !
Certainly Sir Sugar has bad judgment, if his choice of an apprentice is anything to go by, since it’s those he rejects who usually go on to be the most successful.

Gosh. It is raining, again.
Don’t think that there’s any doubt in the public’s mind about why he was enobled.
Let’s be honest, Sugar is hardly a successful entrepreneur any more. TV celebrity is pretty much all he can count as success of late (ie since the late 80′s).
What a cock.
Anyone tried googling Hardwidge?
He’s a “game developer”-TWAT-I thought just a plonker, but he actually is quite an abusive bastard to internet users,and has an internet knowledge.
He also frequents homosexual boards.
Surprise surprise
Yes,i see the bastard will comment on any blog going,maybe he should get out more and meet real people living in real circumstances.
i am free to help clear up this mess that a labour goverment has caused , remember vote labour in with empty heads , vote them out with empty wallets
Labour MP Eric Joyce- aide to bob aintbustingagut has told his boss that continuing with the courtcase to claim back compensation from injured soldiers is political suicide.
Peter Hain and Boris Johnson have both, this morning, told AlJohnson our self-confessed hack Home Office Minister that he must stop the extradition of Gary McKinnon.
Bob aintbustingagut’s department has leaked a document which they are spinning and smearing to infer that our soldiers are too fat to fight. In fact the document shows that there are 12000 soldiers who are not deployable for a number of health reasons, most notably injuries and amputations received in conflict. There are some weight issues amongst them. What a shower you are bob.
Why is it that this government just lurches from one self-inflicted crisis to another??!!
Morning Folks.
its because the lunitics are running the aslyum
The longer that Ainsworthless and Johnson persist with their crazy ideas – such as challenging compensation for injured soldiers and preferring to extradite citizens to contries willing to make an example of them – the longer Liebour will have to spend in the political wilderness following the election.
Do they not understand that, or are they all really in it only for themselves??
“Lord” Sugar did not get the Peerage just because he was a TV personality – oh no, the £1 million he gave to Labour had an awful lot to do with it.
Sugar has made himself look like a suck up plonker by accepting a Lordship for £1 million quid.
He is just another New Labour stooge we are all going to have to deal with at Traitors Gate.
Suffering from chronic back pain?
“The Government’s drug rationing watchdog says “therapeutic” injections of steroids, such as cortisone, which are used to reduce inflammation, should no longer be offered to patients suffering from persistent lower back pain when the cause is not known.
Instead the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) is ordering doctors to offer patients remedies like acupuncture and osteopathy.
Specialists fear tens of thousands of people, mainly the elderly and frail, will be left to suffer excruciating levels of pain or pay as much as £500 each for private treatment.
The NHS currently issues more than 60,000 treatments of steroid injections every year. NICE said in its guidance it wants to cut this to just 3,000 treatments a year, a move which would save the NHS £33 million. ” (@DT)
Except there will be an increase in risky spinal surgery alongside an increase in the costs of having more seriously disabled people who require care. So that’ll be a false economy, then.
Er,speaking from eperience,the private treatment is 1500 quid. and the waiting list to go on the NHS waiting list is several months (Then 6 more months on the proper waiting list)
Didn’t manage to save the NHS in 24 hours then did they?
Of course our MPs have,effectively private healthcare, at St Thomas’s hospital,so that’s ok.
£1500?! That’s about 10% of my gross annual income…
And yes, I have a vested interest here too, although, as per that postcode lottery we all so enjoy, I got luckier than you with the NHS waiting lists.
Maybe they don’t realise that spending their time ranting on blogs like this, where those that don’t hate all politicians are mainly Tories, is probably not the best use of thier resources!!
Bravo Quentin!
By the way did anyone notice the ‘Logan’s Run’ suggestion that anyone over a certain age, commit employment hari kiri in favour of young ones!
I know!
I know you know.
I know you know I know.
Yes, I know.
thats the first time you make some sort of sense
raise the bar round your head you mean

858 As Dr. Strabismus of Utrecht (whom God preserve) ‘s spokesman, I wish to protest not only about the immoderate moderation of my lofty colleague, Dr. Heinz Kiosk’s measured comment (‘Comment is Free’ some say, ‘Arbeit macht frei’, some also say) but to protest that this whole matter has not been referred to The Court of The Lincolnshire Cabmen.
We are all guilty!
wicket for england waston out anderson
looks like a draw now, Aus 299-4 after tea, a lead of 185 and only 30 overs left today.
Still 1-0 up though, with two to play
Meanwhile, in the new improved democratic Iraq, Iraqi police are killing Iranian exiles who oppose the Iranian theocratic rulers, in Camp Ashraf near Bagdhad, at the behest of Iran’s mullahs.
The domino effect will continue, as militant Islam gains strength and Islamic sectarian bloodshed escalates in the region.
sounds like the old iraq , so why did we go there again ?
Saddam Hussein offered the exiles refuge from the Iranian mullahs, while using their military strength against Iran.
Whatever else Hussein was, and the list of his crimes against humanity is lengthy, he was, inconveniently for Bush II and his fellow warmongers, a secular tyrant. And part of that tyranny was supressing Islamic militancy.
Now Iraq is descending into militant Islamic chaos.
If the purpose was to protect the world from Islamic terrorists waging jihad against the decadent west, the result has been precisely the opposite, as anyone with even the sketchiest of knowledge about the Middle East would have told you before Iraq was invaded.
the way i now understand it that iran is the new super power in the region
The West makes a fundamental error in attaching power and influence to countries in the Middle East.
The ambition of the Islamic militants is to create a worldwide Caliphate, an Islamic world under Sharia law led by the mullahs.
The problem in going after specific countries is that it misses the real location of this movement, which is anywhere it is allowed to thrive.
Afghanistan is pretty much a non-player in Islamic jihad now since the armies of jihad have relocated to the non-national land between Afghanistan and Pakistan, while building up a growing movement in Somalia.
Islamic militants owe no loyalty to any nation. Their only loyalty is to their version of religious belief.
We are fighting the wrong war in the wrong place in the wrong way.
Moral: always remember, if someone’s successfully selling you Brooklyn Bridge, he’s a Yank.
Further moral: a nation that defines itself as ‘The Land of the Free’, is one that will contain an above-average number of people who are free from any kind of morality (and, of course, History-free).
894 … but will never be quite free of the notion that the English are the most devious and duplicitous people on Earth, from whose baneful influence the rest of Humanity longs to be freed… by (you guessed it !) THE YANKS, who, of course single-handedly won not only WWI and WWI, but the Boer War, The Crimean War, Culloden, Stamford Bridge,The War of The Spanish Succession, The Wars of The Roses, The Battle Of Hastings… Such wonderful people. So modest. So self-effacing. So unlike the in-your-face, pushy English!
Hussey ct Prior b Broad
its still going to be a draw
Sugar is quite right.
How dare Letts suggest that he has not bought and paid for his peerage in the usual way
Odds being offered for the moderator of the Brown v Cameron televised debate (courtesy of the Indie’s Matthew Norman):
The first show sees Ant ‘n’ Dec installed as 11-4 favourite, with James Naughtie next best on 11-2. Paxo and Kate Garraway are on sevens, with that other ex-GMTV Chequers favourite Fiona Phillips next on 9-1. You can still get tens from Paddy Power that the Dimbleby brothers will bring that Mike and Bernie Winters aura to the debate. The morbid fear of John Humphrys, self-evidently the correct choice, pushes him out to 12s, with Adam Boulton, Vernon Kay, our own Steve Richards and the late Robin Day all on 16s. Unusual betting patterns in the Methodist stronghold of Llanelli push Huw Edwards in to 20s. It’s 33-1 bar those. The value bet is the man recently commended as “the most acute political interviewer since Huffty left Channel 4′s The Word”. Jon Gaunt of SunTalk – station motto: “Listeners? Meh!” – can be backed at an enticing 15,000-1.
was guido in there ?
Not so far, but I think I’ll put 10p on Robin Day.
£10.00 on Toenails.
The moderator will obviously have to be a robust, fair-minded,well-respected and un-biased person. Clearly that excludes 98% of BBC interviewers.
Just heard on Pravda BBC WATO – if newcomers to the UK join the Labour Party or a Trade Union they can get their British Citizenship two years earlier.
I thought I heard that as well !! Assumed that one of their highly paid auto-cue readers was having a lark though…….
we need to define how tall is a shortarse
…need a Duck Doctor for that: it’s called ‘Duck’s Disease’, down my way (i.e. ‘Ass touching the ground’ – thought I’d better put that in for you ignorant Urban types – you know, the ones who don’t like Church Bells being rung on Sundays, Cockerels crowing in the mornings, and object to the tyres of their Chelsea Tractors being covered with Cow-****.
….and as you join us it’s 199-3…..sorry, 199-4, thanks Aggers and a rather de-feathered and bedraggled pigeon lands on the commentary box windowsill with something in it’s beak. Geoffrey tells me it’s an headless grasshopper. Good Lord! I shall call it ‘Oven Ready’. My dear old thing. Have some cake.
Bloody Hell – Some sense from the Hoon Hain!
Turns out he’s behind the Cabinet split over Gary McKinnon’s extradition and wants him tried here. Well done Hain, something I never thought I’d say!!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1203887/Cabinet-split-Peter-Hain-says-Try-Gary-McKinnon-Britain.html
I don’t think Hain will be backing Gary for nothing! Presumably he’s still gunning for leadership but wants to embarrass Johnson who’s wanting top job too. I’m glad either way. Read the Daily Mail report, thanks.
SHOUT!!!
Does anyone know which haberdashers’ emporium Baron Sugar bought that astrakhan bathing cap from? The one he straps to his oily little bean? It looks rather warm.
i love the post keep it up.
Don’t forget, if Brown had got his way, we’d have had Baroness Fiona Phillips at some stage.
And what does this tell us about lawyers in general and Herbert Smith and Co, acting for Sugar, in particular ? Simply that this is the most cynical and venal of professions , perfectly happy to attack anybody, destroy them if necessary in return for- yes, money. Although the action may be against Letts personally, let’s hope that the Mail will support him. It is their sort of fight and they would be rendering us all a valuable service.
I like Quentin – nice turn of phrase “Gorbals Mick”, “The Squeaker” etc.
Sugar is a rude, unshaven prat – typical labourite, in fact.
Time to abolish the Lords and replace it/them by an elected Senate, methinks.
The Sugar Worm from the Midden.
Fully agree with kinsperson Beorwulf.
We must rally to the humble Quentin in his battle with the Ghastly Sugar Worm, representing as it does, all that stinketh from NuMidden.
The idea that by now everyone would have an Amstrad email phone in their homes was, as it turned out a stupid one.

This puts me in mind of a video that i recently watched on youtube, be warned it isn’t for the faint hearted but it made me chuckle
There is freedom of speech in this country but only if you can afford to defend it. Another sad day for democracy and free speech, what next politicians suing journalists for having the audacity to question policy…. oh silly me they don’t need to they just threaten them with ‘no access’ and then they comply which is one reason we are in this sorry mess. A distinct lack of ‘bottom’ in the newsrooms of national newspapers but thankfully the void created has been filled with ‘bloggers’, who seem less concerned with toadying up to politicians… for now:) So I look forward to the fight of might versus right. My guess is Sugar will cave and fire the idiot who advised this ridiculous action.
Letts is brilliant. Sugar is a fartin’ arse.
