Meet the Man in Charge of Digital Britain

If the above is not enough, here is the classic example of the calibre of his insight: read this New Statesman article and weep with laughter at the twat that is Sion Simon…

    ….a note to Mr Charles_E_Harδwiδge

    Stay On-Topic

    Never post off-topic messages, not related to the subject of the mailing list or newsgroup. This takes judgment, and you should ask yourself a basic question: is this posting likely to be of interest to this newsgroup or mailing list, or is there another forum that is more appropriate? You might get a better response by searching for a newsgroup or mailing list more directly applicable to your message.

    Trolling is the act of posting a message highly off-topic or otherwise calculated to arouse controversy and hopefully cause a flame war. The best response to a troll’s posting is no response, to recognize the purpose and ignore the bait.

      Indeed Netiquette, the best response to a troll is to ignore it. Actually, the same probably applies to nonentities in charge of Digital Britain, especially when they work for failing governments which are on the way out.

        I have a hand gesture that the new Chief Digital Dick might understand.

        It involves a single rigid digit.

          Sion Simons only mate at school says:

          No No No.

          A loosely clenched right fist making vigorous up and down motions, is far more applicable.

          Scrap that; he would very likely think you are making a pass at him.

          Best just to thump him hard in the face, then the belly, followed up by a swift firm knee in the groan area.

          Jethro says:

          222 – ‘the groan area’: I like that phrase, very evocative – ought to be used more often. Please don’t Tm it… too good for that.
          Groan area, … groan area… groan area…!

          I’m only relying here as message 2 and beyond is about 3 metres (yards!) down the page.

          Guido, you describe him as a twat, is he your boyfriend or something? SS is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy beyond twat. Had a read of that New Statesman article…classic, wonderfully ironic.

          P.S. I wonder if he realises he looks and sounds far BETTER in his spoof video played alongside him on that Sky News interview.

          How long ago was that interview done? I thought long hair for blokes went out in the 90′s?.
          Just checked him in the Telegraph files. He’s not one to go without is he? Stamp duty & the max amount for food in addition to cleaning – too high & mighty to wash his own skivvies is he? Just another troughing Labour MP and – from this interview – rather rude & ignorant to boot.

      Jon Forest says:

      Yes but if we ignored Charles completely, we wouldn’t be able to call him a twat.
      People enjoy calling Charles a twat because he is a, well, a twat.
      What’s more, he’s a Zanulabor twat!
      The words Charles and twat just seem to go together.
      Peaches, cream – Charles, twat.
      New Labour – twat.
      Love and marriage – Charles, NuLabour, twat.
      See what I mean.
      Please don’t spoil our enjoyment by making us ignore his trolling completely.
      Charles, twat.
      Sorry, can’t stop myself.

        On reflection, I feel the same thing pretty much applies to Mr Simon.

      F*** me! The man’s a midget – look at this picture on his website:

      No wonder he’s such an aggressive c*** – he obviously suffers from SMS – Small Man Syndrome whereby inadequate men who are also short arses try to make up for their lack of height by bullying behaviour – another NuLiebore client for Dolly Drooper methinks – a therapist & a client who truly deserve each other – a match made in heaven.

      I seem to recall him (or someone like him) already appearing as the Brilliant Star of a Cutting-Edge Moving Picture with superhuman powers

      * he was pursuing a White Rabbit at a Party

      * an attractive Young Demoiselle comes up to him at a Party

      * she says :

      What is the Number ?

    His eyes are too close together, so close that he looks like he’s got a squint. His hair’s a disaster and he’s got a pipsqueak of a voice.

The last time I read anything quite this awful was in the NME c. 1981… A baphetic barrage of hyphenated hyperbole and pseudo-hipster hebephrenia not fit to wrap one’s (scapular) chips in. Truly, truly awful! And so *dated*, in that way that only doctrinaire left-wing tosspots trying to be *au courant* can seem to acheive. It’s out now. It’s politically relevant. Buy this single.

        Now that is strange, because that was his nick name at school.

        When I found out much later what a Hunt was actually used for. I realized why they used to call him that. Silly me I thought it was just because he looked like one.

        Oh yes, and when you say “My job as a Liebour MP is to support a Liebour government….” I think you may have missed the point old son – you were voted in by the majority of your poor unfortunate constituents to represent THEM. Let’s hope they don’t repeat their mistake.

      Telegraph (By Harry Wallop) 14 Sept 2007: “Thousands of panicked Northern Rock customers have rushed to withdraw millions of pounds out of their accounts, as fears for the future of the bank sent shockwaves throughout the City and caused its shares to crash.” “The Chancellor appealed for calm and insisted that both the banking system and the economy were stable.”

      Sion Simon in New Statesman 25th Sept 2007: “The young princes who now stride the parade ground with the confidence born of aristocratic schooling can never be afraid. They never have been. Like latter day Pushkins drilled in the elite academy of Brownian blitzkrieg, they are bursting with their sense of destiny.”

      The "Angry Aberdonian" says:

      If Labour increase their majority it will indeed prove we are living in an “infinite universe”, where anything – no matter how absurd – can happen, and not in an expanding universe, where all possible events are constrained by the limits of probability (aka reality).

      Of course one advantage of us living in an infinite universe would be that Sion could be transformed into baboon immediately after Labour win the coming election!

        The scariest thing about that video SORRY, CAN I FINISH? CAN I FINISH? was the revelation (to me, at least) SORRY, CAN I FINISH? that Sian Fucktard is an MP. Who the fuck voted for him? Many things in this world amaze me – Brown as PM after more than 6 months in Number 10, Mizz Harriet Harlfwit as deputy, Dave Vacuous Socialist Twat Camoron as leader of the Conservatives, the lack of assassination attempts against Tony Warmongering Liar Blair, etc, but an utter fucktard such as Sian as MP?

      I have seen the name ‘Sion Simon’ bandied about, but never come across the guy before. Having watched the clip, I wish I was still in ignorance. He came across as a boorish, ignorant pedlar of gutter politics of the lowest sort, and looks like an escapee from a low-budget 1980′s rock-and-roll sitcom. If this is Labour’s up and coming talent, then they need to be out of office for a lot longer than a generation.

      What an utter hoonlet.

      Former Labour Voter says:

      I am as stunned as you. He’s apparently an up-and-coming member of the Labour Party. It beggars belief.

      I also detect a teensy weensy little bit of latent anger from little baby Sian – I guess it comes from knowing the Dole Queue beckons after the next General Election. “waa! waa! But I’m sooo clever! Waa! I get to be on TV (albeit Murdoch’s crappy unwatched Sky.) Waaa! Why am I going to be on the dole? Waaa! My mummy thinks I’m clever. Waaa!”

      I used to think Labour were doomed to 20 years in the wilderness (2010-2030), but I’ll revise it to 40. They’ve lost it, they have not a hope in hell.

        I sincerely hope you’re right, but personally I’m very worried that they’ll get back in thanks to a split vote on the right between the Tories and UKIP. If that does happen, blame Cameron for trying to be all things to all people.

        • 585
          Sir Mufborn-Harbor says:

          I’m voting UKIP because I have a mind of my own concience and happen to believe that the UK is not totally fucked and is savable when pride and a new course is offered to those with hope to invest after their wages and savings have been turned to tax by the current lot. Anyway, if labourcon get back in there will likely be war which also gives hope with which to invest in the possible outcome.

          No, blame Cameron for being another EU cock sucker. The majority of this country want out of the EU, while Cameron and slap head Hague still talk of in Europe but not run by Europre, while Patten grooms himself for a nice spot on the gravy train when Dave lets the EU constitution become the law of the land.

          The lads that were in the engine room of the Titanic were the last to try and get off. When they were unable to keep the pumps going any longer they went up to the poop deck. When they got there, there were no lifeboats left and they all perished. They stood by the ship until the last. They were brave men who put other people’s welfare before their own.

          Can you imagine a Labour MP doing anything as selfless as that? Answers on a postcard please.

    Labour needs to get back to honesty and integrity. It needs to get rid of the Sion Simons, the Peter Mandelsons, and the other professional buffoons who have hijacked it.

      ++applause++

      Here’s his own version of his life history.

      He joined the Labour Party aged 16 in 1985.

      After university Siôn worked for the then George Robertson MP (now Lord Robertson of Port Ellen) as his research assistant, before going on to become a senior manager at Guinness PLC. He then freelanced for a while before becoming a weekly columnist on the Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and News of the World as well as associate editor of The Spectator.

      Siôn was elected to Parliament to represent the Birmingham Erdington seat during the 2001 election, and was re elected in 2005 with the biggest Labour majority in Birmingham.

      In Parliament Siôn has sat on the Treasury Committee. He was also a Parliamentary Private Secretary between 2003 and 2005, chaired Labour’s manifesto group on law and order, the all party group on private equity and venture capital and the all party group on business services.

      During his time as an MP, Siôn has worked to represent the people of Erdington both in Parliament and locally. He has led campaigns to secure the future of the Jaguar Plant, to ensure Erdington gets it fair share of lottery funding and to improve youth services. He has also dealt with thousands of cases on behalf of individual constituents and stakeholders such as schools, doctors, businesses, voluntary groups and so on.

      In October 2008 Siôn was promoted to Minister for Further Education in the then Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and in the June 2009 reshuffle, Siôn was appointed Minister for Creative Industries, at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

    In fact you could already get free treatment from GPs and hospitals before the NHS. It was, however, means-tested. The NHS for the first time extended free medical treatment to the middle class and the better-off working class. It also nationalised all hospitals and GPs in the name of a comprehensive joined-up service, with considerable success but at a very heavy cost in crushing bureaucracy.

    There was initially a big effort at modernisation, but the NHS quickly ran out of money and was only truly ‘free’ for a few months, after which prescription charges were introduced.

    Other countries (such as then-socialist France and the Netherlands) adopted different systems to provide universal healthcare, free at the point of delivery, without the deadweight of a centralised command-and-control structure.

      Claire Short at least had a modicum of integrity and eventually resigned from the Cabinet. Sion Simon is a man who would appear to be prepared to descend to any depths in order to serve his masters that he might in turn become a master.

    The British tend to be too hooked on beating people into the ground and their social skills are shot to pieces. By encouraging better quality negotiation between management and workforce, and within broken communities and families, the government is developing something useful but it hasn’t, yet, become the dominant cultural approach.

    The problem isn’t lack of leadership or relevance at the bottom, it’s arrogance and greed at the top that’s the problem. It actively constrains opportunity and marginalises people as it competes for the available capital without restraint, and is a major reason why the financial crisis occurred.

    You can see a similar mechanism operate in this blog every day. As the pro-Tory trolls insist their version of the “truth” is right and jockey for attention they get more nuts and unpleasant as each day goes by. Their belief that they’re the only ones who are right and desire to own the whole cake has driven everyone else away.

    Socialism and capitalism are mere perspectives of an underlying reality. The Tao suggests that everything arises from the Yin (or female, or Socialist), and that the Yang (or macho, or Capitalism) always collapses back into the Yin.

          You need to remember that Guido’s blog is in the spotlight. A lot of people come here for the limelight: some bloggers shamelessly to advertise their own blogs (and I have to say some are excellent) and some to get their name in the public domain.

          As for his name, it is ephemeral; for as the hooker said, I was having it rammed into me all last night, it was on the tip of my tongue this morning but now it’s gone.

    This is just my view but, I believe, strong leadership by America and China as economic superpowers, and Britain and Japan as gateways to Europe and Asia, respectively, could be the cornerstones of a new world order that ushers in the global renaissance predicted by the UN.

    Buddhism suggests that procrastination isn’t just a matter of being scared of the unknown, but fear of success. People can be so unused to seizing opportunity that they freeze, preferring to stick with the familiar. Perhaps, Gordon’s gamble is the new sensible.

    In his later life, he said that war was not worth the loss of one life.

    May all the politicians of the world hear his words, and think.

          And, do you know, it was the right thing to do. If it had worked. And if it had made me more popular.

      Some of the numbers being bandied around are eye-watering, and difficult for many people to comprehend.

      For example, total Government borrowing for this financial year is forecast as £175bn. That’s £175,000,000,000.

      Total National debt is said to be £1.4trillion. That’s £1,400,000,000,000.

      The Bank of England is just about to create another £50bn. That’s £50,000,000,000.

      Out of interest, does anybody know how many Pounds Sterling in total are in circulation?

Opening a drawer, she produced a box containing a few gold items and selected something from it. It was a fat Mont Blanc pen, a bit vulgar for my taste. I handed it back to her politely, but she waved to me that I should keep it. Adrian saw the label and translated it: ‘The gift of the British Labour Party’. Later, of course, the Labour Party was unable to find any record of having given Ceauşescu a fountain pen when I asked. How suprising.

    I found this lovely sample of TWatson’s proper blogging, this entry on the subject of privatisation threats to Radio 1.

    “When Chris Moyles had the courage to talk about his sense of himself in relation to his weight, it gripped Radio One listeners. Nearly 8 million people clicked on the part of the Radio One web site that displayed the before and after shots of Mr Moyles. The before picture was of a pudgy unshaven bloke in jeans. And the photo-shopped after-shot of Chris with four stones of beer belly airbrushed out of history. Likewise, Kelly Clarkson Osbourne looking like an emaciated size zero model sent out a clear message. It was a unique way of engaging with a younger audience.

    A quick Google search tells me that 1.1 million people in the UK suffer from some form of eating disorder. Millions more like me worry about their weight.

    Being a fat bloke I think to myself, good on you Chris Moyles. And good on the social action unit of Radio One who, with great creativity and a gentle touch help our nation’s angst ridden youngsters to understand the world that they live in. The work they do has little commercial value but is a quintessential element of the BBCs public service broadcasting obligation. “

      When I were a lad fat people were rare. Coz we didn’t have fast food: Big Macs, Burger King, Kentucky Fired Chickadee in fact we didn’t have fat franchises.

      We had bread and jam, which we sneaked when mam was out shopping. In between games of 40-a-side footie or cricket played with a a binlid wicket or British Bulldog.

      If we “worried” like you do, precious thing, our mams would give us a slap round the ear. Then we’d stop worrying. Aye, we did.

      Chris Moyles? He can fuck right off the mouthy fat twat! he’s fat because he’s a lazy lardarse beer guzzling oik. Psychology has got fuck all to do with it. He needs to get a proper fucking job, one that exercises some muscles other than his jaw, and then he might shed some blubber.

    The Tories are just attention seeking and trying to control the narrative that’s circulating. Regular folks and thrill seekers get caught up in that, and lumping everyone in as a Tory just adds to their illusion of leadership and popularity.

      Sion Simons is MP for Birmingham Erdington.

      And I have just found a really fun website, chavtowns, which describes the place thus:

      Erdington, Birmingham
      The delightful suburb of ERDINGTON [is] the u-bend in the toilet of North Birmingham. Allow me to take you on a journey through this green and putrid land.

      Park your stolen car anyway near Six-Ways-to-get-mugged Island. Try and park half on the kerb, to ensure maximum annoyance to anyone with a wheelchair or pushchair. Even better, display your blue disabled badge and stroll on with no problem whatsoever.

      When you reach the shopping centre, do not under any circumstances use the crossing. Simply vault over the railings three feet away, which affords you a head start in the queue at the 99p chip shop. Take care to spit vigorously upon entering and leaving the chip shop, and ensure that your companions also have food for the journey. Check on their welfare by saying “Safe” every few words.

      By the time the chips have gone (shared with Wayne, Dwayne, Kane and Shane), you will be in site of the DSS. Do not be alarmed – they are there to help perpetuate your lifestyle. Pop in and let them know that you have no intention of working in the next fortnight, and they will do the rest. Don’t forget to thank the staff by spitting at them – they are there for your benefit, after all.

      Safely signed on, call in at the Feller pub. This opens at 10am, when you should still be in bed. Congratulate yourself on your active lifestyle with a pint and a game of pool.

      Now it’s time for Bulk, a discount heaven. Fag still in mouth, walk round and remark on the increasing cost of stuff in shops. Why bother with household gear when that 99p can get you a double cheeseburger? Thieving bastards, these shops.

      Quick look in Woolies, more chips at Michaela’s Plaice, then drinks and scuffles in the Roebuck – the creme de la creme of dolehead pubs. Finally, go thieving in the Co-op, and scowl at anybody who looks at you like you’re a piece of benefit-dependent feckless scumag layabout.

      You know it makes sense.

    I agree with the Prime Minister that mere tax cuts for creating new jobs isn’t enough. The real key remains business vision and employment liquidity.

    People need to let go of being so rigid and picky, and entertain new ideas and lower thresholds to giving people a chance, take a hard, hard look at quality of products and services, and invest in employee and customer loyalty. Skill is useful but a better attitude is fundamental to embracing necessary change.

    The Tories still lack the sort of business vision I’m looking for, and their members and wider constituents haven’t accepted that they share a responsibility and may need to give back to the broader business community and society. By that, I mean valuing the contribution of those lower down the chain in a meaningful way.

    So, again, I’m left calling for a better R&D focus and the wealthy middle-class who did well out of the incomes redistribution of the Thatcher years to give back some of what they took. That means better opportunity and fair pay, job enrichment and a little squealing as the wealthy find everyone else getting a free roll of the dice.

        Is it because he’s proud of their record (destroyed the UK economy in less than a decade). Is it fuck. he doesn’t even give it a thought. It’s all about his next pay cheque.

        He’ll have got used to spending that extra money. He’ll do as he’s told to keep it

            They planned to sell the good part off by the end of this year but they need EU approval, ansd theer’s an election around the corner. The sale would also mean that taxpayers would not have an earthly chance of recouping much of the losses.

Why dont they have to work to a budget like every other household in this country has to?

          this morning, steve stole a radio after a punch up with a fellow tramp.
          on his way to his local crack house to exchange the radio for crackcocaine he listened to the results of the cricket. after exchanging his stolen loot for crack he then went into an internet cafe and stank the place out with his tramp stench of piss and hastily rattled off a couple of short posts before being ejected by the staff who could not stand steve’s nasty tramp smell any more.
          note to steve expat: please deal with your issues steve. please stop taking the crack and the cocaine motherfucker. your mum is very worried. she asked if you are insured?

Two further analogue radios in the cars, both perfectly adequate. One digital radio only – I was so disappointed with the quality I refused to buy another. It also eats batteries as thought they are going out of fashion.

    We live in Digital Britain and it is a sinister place. Watching the watchers is the only thing we can continue to do until the watchers (of any party) are forced to stand down (by law, hopefully). The watchers will seek to divide and rule, make some people “deserving” of surveillance and house arrest to condition the rest of us to accept it as normal and even beneficial to the greater good. The watchers must be held, perpetually, to account for their actions, and challenged on their lies and misinformation.

    The nuanced aspects of Keynesian economics, the shift in global politics, and world poverty have something to say. The Anglo-American dance with Reagan-Thatcher economics is over. This will be scary for the egos who’ve done well under that scheme but they’re going to have to get used to it.

    The mass psychology versus the party psychology of the right have crashed, and the left of centre train is in tune with the underlying national and global economic flow. That means developing success and society from the ground up is where it’s at. The right don’t naturally get this so have a problem.

    “In the first state, man and sword become one and each other. Here, even a blade of grass can be used as a lethal weapon. In the next stage, the sword resides not in the hand but in the heart. Even without a weapon, the warrior can slay his enemy from a hundred paces. But the ultimate ideal is when the sword disappears altogether. The warrior embraces all around him. The desire to kill no longer exists. Only peace remains.”

    Born to Susan Boyle in December 1968, Sion Simon the bastard son of Jeremy Kyle grew up in North Birmingham. He was educated at Hansworth’s world renound comprehensive school and ruskin College for mentally challenged students, Oxford. Political from his earliest memory, he joined the Labour Party aged 16 in 1985 at the height of their popularity.

    After polytechnic Siôn worked for the then George Robertson MP (now Lord Robertson of Port Ellen) as his toilet assistant, before going on to become a senile manager at Guinness PLC. He then freelanced for a while before becoming a t-boy at the Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and News of the World as well as associate editor of The Spectator.

In that respect I suppose the expenses scandal was a good thing, it has forced a lot of those whose motives were not what they might be to step down.

    Chief among the ringleaders are a number of Labour women MP’s who reckon her shrill obsession with outdated 1970′s feminism is a disaster for the party. Bit of a laugh really since the party has already collapsed into a heap of steaming cow dung – but there you go!

    Anyway colleagues have been heard deriding the fact that she is so obsessively feminist that she has insisted her three children take her surname, not Jack’s.

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.

    When people let go, they take a step back and what was previously a big mountain becomes a small pebble, and what was once tightly siezed upon just becomes another thing to throw away. Our certainty and emotions can get in the way, hence the Zen phrase: “Zen mind, beginner’s mind.”

    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.

    What an utter twat. All he did by levelling the accusations against Cameron was to show himself guilty of the same…

    He is the most extraordinarily pompous man in prose, and an utter berk on TV

    The most alarming news this week is that Gordon Brown exists by microwaving meals for one late at night! So it begs the question where is Mrs B. and also explains why Cyclops is a serial nail biter, he’s collecting the ripped off nail and adding them to the microwaved meals for a bit of protein.

    What I cannot understand is why Labour who by all accounts will be in the wilderness after the next General Election (unless of course Mandy invokes the Civil contingencies act and cancels the GE next year) is letting matters slide over the Summer and no one seems to give a damn. Something is happening that we are not being told about. Perhaps the GE is being cancelled????

    This is my silly season take on matters, perm any three:

    Mandy dumps peerage fast tracked into Commons.

    Brown formally appoints Mandy deputy

    Harmon pushed up to Lords

    Lord Sugar drops talk of legal action against Letts as Mail wades in

    Mrs Brown discreetly files for divorce (see increasingly strange tweets on twitter)

    Cameron will slap on 25% VAT as soon as elected but revised list of exempt products and services will be increased

    Non-Dom loopholes will be tightened up by tories on election

    Foreign Exchange Controls to be re-introduced

    NHS to bid for part of new US Health Service and effectively export NHS model (no one saw that one coming)

    Police will extend Duckhouse expenses enquiry as current investigations uncover astronomical levels of political corruption

    Outsider takes over as CEO of ITVplc immediately reverts The Bill to previous format, time slots and sig. tune!

    STV leaves Channel 3 syndicate

    English Cricket team and coach sacked

    David Lammy runs for Mayor of London, election halted pending expenses investigation

    Railway between London and Norwich ripped up and turned into guided busway (Gorn they seem t’ work when the trains orn strike, so we’ll ‘ave em al the time)

    Final chain of gastropubs close They were the last remaining pubs in the UK.
    Imported Real Ale from Poland £4 a pint. UK real ale breweries all closed months ago due to Gordon Browns Escalator tax regime.

    I recently sat on a committee meeting in the House of Commons where Sion Simon was giving evidence in his capacity as Minister.

    He was the only attendee who wasn’t in a jacket and tie – open shirt, sleeves rolled up, arrogantly slouching in his chair. A complete disgrace and an embarrassment as a representative of this Government.

    I think this guy is brilliant, but for all wrong reasons.
    Can you imagine going ouf for a drink with him, Balls, Draper, McPoison, they are a truly revolting bunch of gobshite turds, but in the case of SS he really mops up the title for trying to use big words all the time (nice hair BTW).
    I am amazed Labour let him on TV and whats all this “shut up” stuff clearly missed the press/media relations training course. Obnoxious, powerless, useless waste of money and space.

    Not sure if the word Hunt is allowed on here, but i’ll give it a go.

    What an overbearing pathetic Hunt Sion Simon is. So glad the lady interviewer managed not to lose her cool when talked down to by this Hunt and actually let him ramble on to prove what a complete and utter Hunt he is.

    Les in Thailand, the land of no stopping motorists to fill up government coffers for MP’s expenses and where i can use my PC for pretty damn much what i want.
