          Tip-top news from the front Freddie. The evil ex-minister for incompetence, Hazel Blears had her car tyres slashed and her windscreen smashed in her constituency.

          Apparently she doesn’t think it’s related to the fact that her government is an evil cabal of fuckwits. Maybe her unemployed constituents took exception to her buying a Citroen Xsara with their money instead of something manufactured in the UK.

          Maybe.

          British cars for British MPs.

          It is a testament to the pioneering progress Labour (with the expert guidance of its former Communities Secretary) has made, working in our communities, that a group of grateful, sensitive, hardworking and public-spirited young people made time in their busy lives on a volutary basis to make some cosmetic improvements to my motor car.

          Toryboys are hilarious and Davy Cameron is NOT gay says:

          Hahahahahhahaa fuckking brilliant!

          You couldn’t make satire like this up.
          It’s like a Colbert Report for Toryboys this site.

          Please keep it up and please keep us all laughing.
          Whoopsie!
          Hahahaha someone actually thought that was funny. Jeeesus wept!

          Oh and Davy Cameron isn’t gay. NO, no, no, no, no, no, no. well, yes.

          Little Davy Cameron was not left out of several late night Eton “escapades” and his later Bullingdon “bruiser” sessions with the rough trade after a bucketfull would no doubt raise a few eyebrows.

        Where are they hiding the dear leader?

        His unpopularity is soaring even when he is hidden from view by the party faithful. Another failed ruse to make McStalin “popular”.

        One thing for sure – he is not travelling around Helmand in a rag top land rover whilst the locals through flowers under the wheels as they express their eternal gratitude for the blood & treasure Great Britain is & has expended to win their hearts & minds.

        There is a rumour that he is dead – but you always get such stories with socialist despots like McMental at the end of their tenure.

        It must get to him – knowing that he is only in power on that nice Mr Blairs mandate.

        Still, the democracy & ballot box shy McHoon will soon be gone.

          Let’s turn the thing on its head – which of them aren’t gay? It almost seems as though being gay is a prerequisite to being a Labour MP. Have to say, I always wonder about Harridan Harperson – she just seems to be so vehemently anti-men.
          Yes, RR (Mrs) I think their idea of keeping Dear Leader out of sight for his holidays so that his popularity will increase is a bit of a no-hoper – or maybe they’re just hoping that with him hidden away he can’t make any bloopers & decrease his popularity. As for Peter Poppet & his Blackberry being in charge from Corfu over the weekend – priceless!

          Alexander Selkirk says:

          As I posted a few days ago – the answer is simple – it’s all part of the “campaign board” – Labour SpinMeisters have decided from their polling that keeping McBroon “incommunicado” for 2/3 weeks and allowing the likes of Harman & Mandelson to be the “official” stand in will boost McBroon’spoll ratings ahead of the conference season in September.Well THAT’S the plan anyway !!!!!!

          Greychatter says:

          The thing that ‘might’ give their popularity a boost is to keep “them all” out of the country until after the next election.

          What is the new border agency doing letting Mandy back in anyway?
          Maybe their mandate is not to keep unelected aliens out.

          The country runs itself better without any of “them”

    What I don’t understand is the phrase “gay slur”. As being gay is one of those things, perfectly legal and natural, a bit like being a “ginga”, how can it therefore be a “slur” o call someone gay? Or is the subtext No 10 suggestion that being gay is somehow akin to being stupid? I think we should be told.

          2 of my 4 sons are left-handed and (apart from the cost of buying pens for them) they’re entirely normal. I do agree with you on the ease with which the two words are often (intentionally) confused.

        Alibarbs says:

        You get homosexuality in all species in the animal kingdom, not just human beings, therefore it’s natural – it may not be the standard, and is obviously something that is prevalent in a minority of people, but that does not make it unnatural.

        The only people who would make such claims are those of rather limited intelligence who believe homosexuality is a lifestyle choice, rather than simply being the way some people are wired.

        • 90
          Hugh Bristic says:

          A strange debate. Cannibalism and murder are observed patterns of behaviour in human society. That does not make them essential or desirable features of a modern society.

        • 93

          Alibarbs, quite. Interesting also that Gordon Brown’s “family man” persona is a lifestyle choice, not unrelated to his concern that his gayness might have stopped him getting to no. 10. Wonder therefore whether he’s suggested Mandy get himself a wife. If so, I believe Ann Widdecombe is at present unattached.

          Bottle-fed Triplet says:

          Alibarbs, if the electorate knew that GB was “one of them”, many wouldn’t vote for him because of their prejudices. There are a number of MPs past and present who had ‘lavender wives’, to cover their tracks.

          The political parties play the game themselves tailoring the candidate to match the constituency demographic. Hence the ethnic choice in an area where there is a high proportion of immigrants, not having a Cockney in a Scottish one etc, etc.

          I know of one area where the Labour candidate got in with a much reduced majority because a). She was a woman, and b). She wasn’t Catholic.

          People and prejudices Alibarbs, people and prejudices!

          English Viking says:

          Homosexuality is neither natural or normal. You might find other people’s excrement sexually exciting, but I think you’ll find most people consider it a perversion, a dirty habit which is evidence of psychological damage.

        • 205
          Hugh Bristic says:

          Alli, you have asked an interesting question. my view is that society makes arbitrary decisions on what is acceptable or otherwise.
          My point was that just because a certain type of behaviour is observed in human society or in other animals does not of itself mean that it can be deemed socially acceptable on the grounds of being ‘natural’

          Well, that makes me ‘of rather limited intelligence’, then.

          Funny, that – I must have had a brainstorm during every exam I ever took!

          Some people (and animals, too, which by your criterion makes it ‘natural’) are sexually attracted to prepubescents, but that doesn’t make it acceptable or normal behaviour.

      jgm2 says:

      It’s dog-whistle politics. If there is any truth in the rumour or if the rumour becomes main-stream then that’s it for Purnell. Broad-minded as the Labour party like to portray themselves they know that many of their voters will stay at home rather than vote for a homosexualist. Just as they’re discovering how many of them are not as keen as they’d previously assumed on immigration. An aversion they like to believe is due to recent influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe but they know, and we know and the B&P knows is actually a backlash to the ‘stanification of Luton, Leeds, Bradford and all points north.

      Which is why so many of their voters have jumped ship to the B&P.

      So Brown is not slurring Purnell for being ‘gay’ because it’s a playground insult. He’s destroying Purnell’s electability by the core vote. The 20% of folk who, after a decade of financial scorched earth, will still vote for a pig with a red rosette.

      But not a poofter with a red rosette. Or a Pakistani with a red rosette either.

    The Brown/Balls/Mandelson triumvirate will do anything to discredit anyone who stands in their way by any means.

    The autobiographies of the inner circle of this malevolent web will keep us entralled for years after the next election.

    I just shows that Damian McBride was not a lone wolf. Michael Dugher, John Woodcock, Michael Ellam, Simon Lewis, Balshan Izzet and Ian Bundred appear willing to mire antone at their masters bidding.

    They don’t seem to realise that they only sully the office of the Prime Minister as the truth will out in the end.

    Why they are stupid enough to think anyone would care if Purnell was gay anyway.

    This follows persistent rumours that Gordon “may” have a lot in common with Heath and Asquith, which is why Mandelson has an inexplicable hold over him.

    Will we ever know the truth of this government (if truth even exists)?

          Not only that, but riddled with high structural unemployment for a good 5 years at least, the only people who will survive the trauma will be those who come to the UK from low-wage countries and work illegally in the black economy; paying no tax and repatriating the bulk of their earnings. It really is looking like a Doomsday scenario. I imagine next summer will see a great deal of anger being expressed on the streets around the country and we will all know which party’s policies were responsible.

    A Car? So it was just hers was it? Was it singled out from all the other cars?

    Hazel said she thought it was ‘teenagers with nothing to do on a hot afternoon’.

    Was it? So why didn’t they just nick it and go “joy riding” and burn it afterwards? Slashing all four tyres takes a bit of time and effort, not the usual MO for Mancunian Scallywags. Maybe it was people fed up with not having a job or no prospects other than high taxes and unemployment for the forseeable future whilst some smug git claims expenses for everything, including the kitchen sink.

      To feed people, you need food. To get food, you need land. They are not making any more land but they are making more people. Many, many more people.

      This country is an island. The sea levels are rising. This government has decided that parts of East Anglia’s farm land should be allowed to revert to saltings as the cost for sea defences is too high.

      This country has one of the most efficient farming sectors in the world.

      This country has a government that is ambivalent (at best) to farming and agriculture.

      This country has a government that has allowed many, many farmers to become bankrupt during its twelve years in power. This government would rather speak to MegaCorp Supermarket Inc. than the NFU.

      This country is overcrowded (according to the Optimum Population Trust and MigrationWatch). If you overcrowd an island you cannot hope to concrete over farmland with houses AND feed the population, unless you import massive amounts of food.

      This country is in financial crisis, importing food means exporting Sterling.

      This country has an open doors policy to immigration and at least one million people living here illegally. They have to eat but where will we get the food from?

      This country has a party in power that promised “joined up government”.

    O/T

    Mervyn King, is to issue a warning that the UK is still at risk of a deflationary spiral when the Bank of England releases its latest Inflation Report this coming Wednesday

    have a look at

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/recession/5982709/Bank-of-England-surprises-markets-with-move-to-increase-printing-money-plan.html

    The Bank of England said last week that “”While some recovery in output growth is in prospect, the margin of spare capacity in the economy is likely to continue to grow for some while yet, bearing down on inflation in the medium term.”

    Former BoE Monetary Policy Committee member Sushil Wadhwani – now a hedge fund manager – said that the UK could be heading for a “lost decade” like that experienced by Japan in the 1990s.

      What he means is that all the printed money is staying with the banks (reducing their landing multiples) rather than being circulated through the economy as loans to businesses and individuals. This means that the anticipated effect of printing money causing inflation has yet to materialise.

      Once the lending starts up again (as the politicians want) and the economy to pick up, expect prices to start rising and inflation to be a problem…

          The problem is that Money represents the economy, and it’s usefulness relies on it’s volume stably representing the economy.

          Print too much, or allow too much credit (by decreasing reserve requirements) and inflation happens.

      simplified: the interest rates were cut and slowly the banks made profits by owning government bonds ie borrowing at 1% and buying bonds yielding 3%………

      the govt cheerleaders were able to say that everything had been fixed……..

      Japan had a massive savings culture from the year dot. No welfare payments over there, old chap. Japan had a massive manufacturing base from massive, world leading companies. The rest of the world, although a little down in the early ’90s recession, was soon back up and running and buying everything those Japanese companies could make – and more. Result – a massive trade surplus.

      Now let’s have a look at the UK. Errr…no savings culture. errr… benefits culture par excellence. Errrr… personal borrowings that are the worst, per capita, in the world. Errrr…. a massive trade deficit that is going to get worse and worse as the North Sea oil bonanza disappears into the history books.

        This is the first time we have a global debt crisis with companies, banks, governments and individuals all leveraged at the same time.

        This will be much worse than Japan.

      Purnell is one of the more serious and unrepentant troughers.

He is now cultivating an image of being the Outsider, the decent bloke who is Not Gordon and is clever but unfrightening.

      Purnell is yet another who has followed the path from a well-off background, via a PPE degree at Oxford, various political appointments and an admin job in the media (not dissimilar to Dave, in some ways). He is one of the smooth, privileged, cocksure, never-done-a-real-job types that infest the Establishment. I do not trust him.

        Just like those kids who win Olympic gold medals at swimming thanks to parents getting up and driving them to practise at 5am every fucking morning for 20 years, these fuckers are the product of parents who were playing them Mozart in the womb, picking the best Prep schools to steer their spawn into the best Public Schools to ‘study’ PPE at Oxford so they could tell us, via their fucking kids, how to live our lives.

    Soldiers on the front-line in Afghanistan are having to dye their own uniforms because of a critical shortage of camouflaged shirts.
    The men of 2 Rifles are fighting in an area of Helmand province which is lush with green vegetation, but have only been issued with sand-coloured desert gear – effectively making them ‘sitting ducks’ for the Taliban.

    The soldiers have been boiling up huge vats of dye to change the colour of the shirts, but the result is a less-than-ideal shade of turquoise

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/there-is-no-refuge-no-place-to-go-to-deal-with-your-grief-1769938.html

    ‘There is no refuge, no place to go to deal with your grief’
    “Then there are the equipment shortages. Due to the pitiful numbers of support helicopters and Apaches needed to escort them, every day troops on the ground are forced to expend an enormous amount of hours and manpower just standing still. They sacrifice their reserves of energy, motivation and willpower securing and picketing routes for the never-ending vehicle convoys that have to keep happening in order to resupply the patchy spread of patrol bases with water, ammo and rations; as well as recovering the vehicles that invariably go into ditches and securing helicopter landing-sites for the evacuation of casualties from improvised explosive device strikes.

    I think if Sisyphus (the Greek mythological character cursed to roll a huge boulder repeatedly up a hill, only to watch it roll back down again, throughout eternity) could see us now, he would offer his sincere condolences and offer a friendly arm around the shoulder, saying that he knew what it felt like.”

    start totting up violent film , play violent video game , tell everyone to shut up as your watchin it , immersed in it , no time ,have recreational drugs , get drunk, emo drama is needed by brain to feel like everyone else such is popular culture .

    there are many times to look back at labour and see what they allowed to happen for greasy lobbiest profits and phsyco power bends for power .

    Zombies want more , labour have run out of cash and tricks , zombies beggining to ask what labour have done , what have you allowed corproations to turn my kids into ?? Go on Ed tell them the truth about labours political power via mass media , show them the modern socialist way of making the new cattle that vote for you .

    media wall having a stutter , shouldnt have lied , shouldnt have decieved , your rumbled and zombies you created are comming .

    Andy Burnham says there’s no more waiting lists in the NHS on radio 5 on 11th August

    WHAT A FUCKING LIAR

    What happens is – you see a consultant – he/she says go and have a scan/ tests – book next appointment – next appointment cancelled because consultant on holiday – book another appointment – results discussed and general plan discussed – go away think about it – book next appointment – see different doctor/registrar/houseman – no decision – book next appointment – appointment cancelled because consultant on holiday – book another appointment condition declining – see other doctor decision made – book another appointment – see consultant who agrees decision only then put on a list – it’s devious, it gets around waiting list numbers, it looks good but patient waits up to 2 hours at each clinic, is constantly fobbed off, treated appallingly and when put on list still has to wait 18 weeks for surgery. Everyone in health sytem is complicit in process from nurses in clinic to GPs and consultants. Patient service has never been so bad. The NHS is shit and overpaid consultants are self centred bastards who are only interested in the money. You are treated as if you are a lump of lard.

    ALSO I am not a customer I am a CITIZEN/subject of the queen – customer service is appalling/ business model is dehumanising

    • 615
      Sir William Waad says:

      I agree, it must be like being in a very slow pinball machine for those of you who don’t have the foresight to pay for private treatment.

      The medical profession still has a paradigm of the doctor as Wise Healer. You step across his turkey carpet to where he sits at his mahogany desk. He barely deigns to examine you, but steeples his fingers and thinks knowledgeable thoughts until his great medical acumen tells him what is wrong with you and how to cure it.

      This model is a century out of date. Diagnosis, care and treatment are now provided by a range of professionals with different skills; the consultant is, or should be, just the ringmaster of the circus. In practice, thought, there is no organisation or teamwork and each contact with a health professional is a random, stochastic event. When you meet person B, there is no memory of what person A said or did, nor does your meeting affect person C in any way.

      • 621
        Charles Flaccidwidger says:

        My brother has been ill recently. He lives approximately a mile away from his doctors and about a mile away from his local hospital. If he has a blood test at his doctors, it is couriered to a hospital some 40 miles way and he gets the results in three or four days. If he has a blood test at his local hospital, they give him the results within a couple of hours. One of these ways is incredibly expensive, inefficient and leaves him worried for several days. The other is quick and efficient and he knows the results pretty much straight away.

        The question is why is it necessary to courier the blood 40 miles if the local hospital can do the tests? If anyone can give me a sensible answer, please do.

        • 625
          RavingMad says:

          I can’t answer the travel issue unless it has to do with contracts between surgery and hospitals – why not ask? – but in general, routine blood test results can be ready within a couple of hours – anywhere – depends what they are. Think about it, you can’t leave blood or serum hanging around for days because it breaks down. It ‘s only the ‘control’ that medics like to maintain that makes test results unavailable for several days – it makes them feel important.

      Groucho says:

      You forgot the part where the consultant asks for tests to be carried out before your next appointment. Then, either the test results are lost, or you wait so long for the next appointment, the consultant decides that the last test results are now out of date, so they have to be repeated….

      Last time I took me old mum to hospital for a consultant’s appintment, we waited hours and were queue jumped by a convict (handcuffed to a prison guard). 80+ years NI contributions between my mum and dad and they take second place to a criminal scumbag.
