Wonk Wanted : £100,000 Offered
The Institute of Economic Affairs has appointed headhunters at Odgers Berndtson to find a new General Director to lead the daddy of all think-tanks into the 21st Century. The salary is £100,000, the closing date is August 28, if you want to brush off your CV. Can’t be many wonks on that kind of money…
They say they are looking for a media-savvy, free marketeer with drive. They should have political nous, but no party ties. Guido has listed a few potential candidates previously. There are also a few unemployed (and employed) journalists around who might be interested in the job.
At that rate even Guido could be tempted if it were not for the “no drinking on the premises” restriction…
well, as I will soon be banned from this place I will have some time on my hands so I am up for the gig.
I think I can make a real difference to the organisation.
I believe you could TaT. I truly believe you could.
They’re looking for someone with superior communication skills.
So you’ve got no chance sunshine.
I’ll do it.
Why not give it Mandelson; he’s in charge of every other bastard thing. Even the ‘no party ties’ shouldn’t pose too much of a problem ‘cos no-one can harbour any doubts he’s in it for himself and the country and party can go hang.
So the Turks and Caicos Islands have govt suspended because the bunch of thieves/bankers/quangoists/war crims we have running this shit hole think they are corrupt. It’s all past parody.
Think Tanks are fig leafs, excuses and the well paid dumping grounds for those too nutty or incompetent to hack it in the real world of Politics.
The Lords, the European Parliament and a job as a rentagob talking head on the News and TV are the other fates awaiting those too pathetic to cut it in front line Politics.
Policy is actually made in small cliques involving the Party leader and the spinmasters. Policy is made firstly and foremostly on how any issue will play in the Election and as a direct response to the other Parties Policies.
Think Tanks just produce reports which are almost always ignored and most commonly used to cover up scandals by kicking a contentious issue into the long grass.
“We have a policy group working on that” is second only to an inquiry as a sure sign that a given issue is being ignored and those in the Party high command wish it to go away and die a slow painful beaurocratic death.
bloody good point scorched earth.
you have changed my mind, I have now decided that I am not going to work for these capitalist bastards they can fuck off, they are not having any access to my genius.
I think instead I will set up my own think tank and keep ALL the money for myself.
the IEA fascists can kiss my fucking arse, I am not selling those useless tits any of my vast brain power.
they are just a bunch of wankers.
thick as thieve’s mirror: you do know that the mirror is empty, don’t you?
that’ll take the c’unt a while to figure out innit.
dopey fucker.
That’s part of the reason for the handle you halfwit.
I’ll leave it to you to figure the other part out. Which is very easy.
fucking hell, how long did it take you to figure that simple one out?
DOH!
I bet you were up googling all night inbetween wanks.
the mirror is empty and so you can fill it with whatever you choose.
you haven’t figured that bit out yet because of your ego.
first lesson free.
How David – via the medium of mimickry??? You were rumbled last year mate….Truth is the new Spin/lies.
Sorry guys…but I saw it first. Just about to fit it in with my banking advisory role, bringing peace to the Middle East, testing millionaire’s liners, teaching at Harvard, speechifying worldwide, helping Sierra Leone improve their tourism issues, advising my old chums on running UK plc (busted)….cos I’m just a straght kinda guy (not wishing to offend my gay chums, of course……..)
Hey Tone Still Reading Your Koran Mate ?
Straight as a triangle
Ask not what you can do for your country but how much you can do your country for
As a woman with a broad winning smile, I think I should be given the job. I am a prominent human rights lawyer.
My cv shows that I’m compassionate and caring, a loyal wife (to a bit of a bastard actually), and I consider I make a good job (on the cheap) of a rather difficult body shape. I don’t have any political leanings, I’m sure you will be glad to hear.
I can always do with a bob or two, so would greatly appreciate the extra £100.000, particularly as, with the recession paying the mortgage has become a monthly challenge.
Please don’t breathe a word of this to my husband tony because he doesn’t really like me going out to work, (he’s the strong silent type you know!) Hoping my application meets with your approval. I await your reply with trepidation. Cherie Blair x.
PS. I am deeply religious. I have met the pope, and managed to pressurise my husband in to becoming a fervent catholic. I am sure you will agree that my religious bent should persuade you to employ me. I am such a good, loving, kindly person, respected and adored by the British people. CB.
Dear Mrs Blair
I may possibly be able to put in a good word if you could get me Alf Garnett’s autograph on today’s edition of the Guardian. Love to your Dad
‘Institute of Economic Affairs’?
I used to run one of those.
why has the monkey got a yellow hat?
Because he couldn’t find the red one.
Only the organ grinder gets a white helmet
You mean a purple helmet?
its raining
His or is it her ears remind me of Charles Clarke
>I think I can make a real difference to the organisation.
Indeed you could, assuming they (a) were stupid enough to hire you or (b) deliberately wanted to ruin it.
you’ll have your cock in your hands more like.
and you will probably have somebody else’s.
Stop coming on to me you perv, it certainly won’t be yours, so dream on ducky.
weak. very weak indeed.
and a bit creepy.
I’ve had better ripostes from the speaking clock, you dopey сunt.
They don’t pay as much as the ISA quango! Will you be getting your ISA licence in October to go with your CRB?
James Stanfield
Lisa Stansfield?
She can’t do any worse than not spot a huge recession hitting us – when Bremner Bird and Fortune were predicting exactly what was going to happen, and the banks would need bailing out for at least 2 years before-hand.
Says it all really – I bunch of comedians can do better than this bunch of tossers in Government!
Spot on Doc, it was obvious for some time what would happen to our economy. They really are fucktards this lot if they didnt see it coming.Useless c unts.
Even guido pissed should be able to make that in fx or bonds a month, personal account, natch.
silly!
silly comment.
A prominent American journalist with pr skills and of the right persuasion would be useful in knitting together transatlantic ideologies and shaping the organisation in terms of `commitment` policies. Scrap the club and become an intellectual campaigning organisation.
That you, Bill Clinton?
Wonder what his missus thinks??
I have no opinions; I leave all that to hubby.
Good girl.
It started in the Congo, or was that Tin tin?
Or Umbongo?
A serious academic `campaigning` think tank is needed. Cameron`s Tory party is in need of conversion for a start!
Yes, a strong intellectual campaigning base to influence the political process and political thinking is what is needed. Exposing the Cameron/Osbourne economic fallacies would be a good start. What about a second job for Danial Hannan?
The job calls for someone with a ‘tough but fair’ approach to the economy. Since it has falled to me to deal with the beast we all know now as Gordon Brown then surely the task of leading the IEA into the 21st Century must fall upon my manly, yet slight, shoulders. History would have it no other way.
(P.S. I can only do 2 hours per month and can I have the money paid in Swiss Francs please – I only use pounds now for paying the cleaner and wiping Leo’s bottom)
Hey Tony Could You Not Lie To Someone And Start Another War ? Then You could Become Peace Envoy To That Region As Well ?
‘Cos I’m a nice kinda guy!
Or maybe, for once in his life. actually tell the truth and be instrumental, however obliquely, for not starting one.
Nahh on second thoughts, with his background and lack of scruple, a safer bet would be the Pope converting to Buddhism.
mmm fawkes producing world ecnomic insights and thoughts , would make interesting reading .
Still rather fascinated that no one in MSM has picked up on banks keeping liquidity so it isnt going to business .
perhaps fawkes keeping liquidity would work also ?
how silly!
almost forgot seems someone has realised burnhams quote was in error , “no waiting lists in the NHS” .
Sunday looks fun “ruin vs zombies round 1″
is Burnham the one who is now ‘rattled’?
The reason the banks are keeping liquidity is that they were so leveraged with loans and mortgages that a tiny number of defaults would send them the way of Lehman Brothers and Nothern Rock. They also had some very dodgy investments which have lost them billions, which they have to make up to secure their existing lending before adding any more to it!
Anyway, with 10% of GDP printed or about to be, what would be happening to inflation if the banks were lending as they were before??
A new think tank is needed to represent the traditional values of IEA just as new policies are needed to represent the traditional values of the Tory party. The intellectual right has become stale.
Well one of the biggest w@anks in the country now in the Lake District is on even bigger money, so it’s not that attractive is it?
‘Even’ you really are an under paid Huhne with a Napoleon complex
Why the auto censorship, the word ‘hoon’ above began with a ‘c’. Just another control freak, why not join the socialist tribe. They love to airbrush.
Did you mean to say сunt?
Oh I see…have to ask though whats a ‘Choon’ then or is it one of those thingy’s that help you breathe more easily
I’d do it. My CV may need quite a bit of embellishing though…
No chance Tom! I’m re-writing mine between feeds
£100,000 for a wonk in a recession, don’t think they’ll be short of applications for that one! Maybe it’s time for a change of career!
100k*50% tax, then double it on tax-free exes, plus multiple shagging opportunities. Not bad, but not great.
Multiple shagging opportunities?. Any chance Of T’pies as well coz if so T’jobs mine and I’ll bring me own secretary eh lad! Now fook off!
multiple shagging opportunities?! have you been to a IEA event recently? its harder on the eyes than a real ale festival
you being a crackhead isn’t really a career steve the tramp.
it is more of a lifestyle choice.
You’ve got to have a life in order to make a choice in the first place, so back to the drawing board creepo.
but steve does have a life, he just chooses to stick it in a crack pipe and smoke it up.
you must be steve’s crack dealer, cock cheese.
stop selling him that poison you fucking bastard, you are killing him.
his brain is addled by crack cocaine and judging by your pathetic response you are breaking the number one rule of crack dealing:
don’t get high on your own supply.
you see how chaotic your life gets when you start smoking those rocks?
stop fucking with peoples lives you c’unt.
now fuck off.
what a retard.
Hey, I was only trying to help mr creep.
sometimes civilians get caught in the crossfire nob cheese.
collatoral damage is the polite term for it.
it is nothing personal you understand.
Apology accepted.
Byeee! You crack smoking mentally ill troll.
Bloody hell, what the fuck was that about? Safe to emerge yet?
Steve, Tat is attracted to the smell of your cock cheese, which is why he will never leave you alone until you give your manky member a good rinse in Vimto, Mister Muscle, or whatever the fuck.
For someone who spouts so much bollocks about cricket, it’s clear that a real woman hasn’t been anywhere near your filthy bellend for decades, so get with the programme,and get your personal hygiene sorted.
That’s WTF this is all about.
92 – Down in ignorant Cornwall, we always used to spell it “collateral”, not ‘collatoral’: mind you, we were so ignorant, we could spell quantitative easing, but never knew what it meant!
steve, stop living a lie. choose life and stop using.
all the rest of your talk is a load of hobo moonshine talk.
I am ready to help as soon as you stop taking crack. it is up to you steve.
stop living a lie tramp.
we are all rooting for you.
only joking.
cheeky madam,
never mind your spelling jihadism motherfucker, this is not hansard, this is just a blog.
but thankyou for that correcting the spelling of the word collateral.
it is interesting to note that you wish to correct the spelling but not discuss the definition of the word.
it means when innocent civilians are killed by military forces during exchanges of combat with the enemy.
we have killed so many civilians in Afghanistan that our occupation will never be accepted by the Afghans.
It is time to leave Afghanistan. america will have to fight her own dirty wars.
anticitizen,
your treatment is clearly not working. methinks ’tis time to increase the voltage to your damaged brain. a complete lobotomy will have to be considered for you if all else fails. it cannot be ruled out as an option.
nurse ratched, could you please make the necessary arrangements?
Look, I’m sorry if within other subjests I’ve been flipant but seriously this time;
The pay obviously suggests that this is not ‘The Daddy of Think Tanks’ and it’s a fact that we have come to an impasse of which Gerald Celeste is correct.
It’s either war or single world government. We’ve come to the end of engineering for oil engines bar a bit of tweaking on rotary. Hydrogen is possible but the profit is going to be in the leather not engineering patents or licences. The rush for GM food is about control just as much as deliberate pollution is about control of water. Its war between governments or world agreeable world government. Or decent folk take their future and planet back from the corporate gangsters. Simples.
GM foods is NWO robbery , I think your right we are going to have to take it back from these crooks , coporate elites and socialist demi gods , planet killer combo for me .
Barry obama in trouble looks like some USA banks going under !! wheres all the money gone ??
Interesting question but the US Banks and Government know the answer.
Citigroup, still on life-support from American taxpayers, wants to pay its twenty-five top executives an average of $10 million each this year, and award its best trader $100 million!
Wall Street is using lobbyists and an almost unlimited war chest to protect its interests and prevent change.
Most Banks are seeking around $7 million each for their top twenty-five and are pitching that $7 to $10 billion is necessary in order to keep and attract “talent”……………………………………………
…………”Peter Mandelson denied the U.K. government is considering legislation to restrict banker bonuses after widespread criticism of a new code on payouts introduced by the financial regulator this week”…………
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601102&sid=aBDqtjdn2Epg
I read somewhere that mortgages are getting harder to get if you are a property developer etc, or banker dependent on a bonus, commission etc and that mortgage lenders are also looking at the employer, Barclays ok, but Citi Bankers not considered a good bet for a big mortgage at present.
Personally, I’m in favour of a good old Civil War first. The Romans had the best ways of dealing with crims.
Bring back Cromwell.
..err, what about civil war?
We don’t want to fight each other. Don’t fall for that german trick. We need to fight the machine. ……dont fall for it that’s what they want is a war so we can be enslaved even more working in the military industrial complex and mineral exploration. Slavery. I am not a number!
We’re alresady born in to slavery.
Strange spelling for already! Excusez moi!
traitors not criminals, the maximum penalty is so much more deserving. MPs then Bankers please.
70,004.
An extra rasher this morning I think.
well looking at Sara it won’t be ‘muff diving’ but ‘pot holing’ instead.
Guido – it’s the perfect job for Banana Boy Milibland – top wonker and holder of what was once one of the great Offices of State – the FCO and you even have his official portrait to illustrate the point.
Priceless
Isn’t Boy Bland the real Mr Bean?
£100,000 isn’t enough for Millipede. He gets double that where he is now and probably doesn’t have to work too hard for it.
He is a prize wonk though.
A prizeworthy wonk at doing what exactly? psychobabble perhaps any other offers?
Your all just jealous of my big banana
Has Been, more like……..
surely som mistake.
should not every quango that have failed to see the credit crunch or let labour throw 100 ‘s of billions at the public services with no reform ,be closed.
quangos cost us £75 billion.some bonfire.
that is 50% of the total financial bail out.but that 75 billion is every year.
and britain is now being compared to mozambique for public services,except mozambique is ranked above us.
what a tragedy and soap opera this country has become.
I have advanced my name for this post, with the proviso that I will do it for half the salary. Damn, probably should have said double to get a better chance.
plus expenses.
The Mirror from March 2007 Claims that Brown had been seeing this dentist for 20 years, what is not quite clear is how long he had been going privately to this practice.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news-old/top-stories/2007/03/12/why-is-it-so-hard-to-see-an-nhs-dentist-115875-18739927/
Perhaps this ought to be added to twit the twitters.
20 years eh? His teeth were dreadful. Not a good advert for the dentist.
Open your…I mean hold your jaw steady just for a moment..
46.But South African-born dentist and practice owner Mervyn Druian said Brown had been a private patient of his for nearly 20 years.
He said: “Mr Brown is like many of my patients who opt for private treatment because they can phone me up in the morning and get an appointment the same day.”
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news-old/top-stories/2007/03/12/why-is-it-so-hard-to-see-an-nhs-dentist-115875-18739927/
Maybe The Dentist Is Up For A career Change Then ? Sitting Around All day On The Off chance Of One Patient Like McMental Cant Be Much Fun Neither will The Pay Cut !
He’s not NHS then. He couldn’t fit anyone in for at least 3 months if he was.
As we American’s like to say….if you want to see how socialised medicine works, just look at the Brits teeth. And even worse, President Shoe-In Blairs dead fangs and Gordon McDeaths unholy molies…..
works for me
It only cost me £136.00 to have one tooth removed privately, not being able to get registered with an NHS dentist; so that should reassure most yanks about our totally’ free’ health service.
Oh I forgot, teeth have nothing to do with health do they?
The difference between my private dentist and my extortion funded GP is amazing.
Those who get their money through extortion have no service ethic.
My dentist is proactive, friendly, efficient, flexible, punctual, patient and excellent.
My GP Surgery will never ring you, is unfriendly(the computer to check in is more friendly!), overstaffed, rushed, crowded, I have to work around the GP, it’s closed for 3 hours over lunch, I always have to wait 40 minutes more that my appointment time to see the GP for 5 whole minutes of a slightly unimpressive 1st line IT support equivalents time.
LEt’s just say I now look after my own health rather than use the national death service
We are going forward, making the difficult decisions about how hard working familes can see an NHS dentist, while I, of course, can pick up the phone and get my horrible stumps drilled the same day by going private.
Wouldn’t it just be better if everyone went private?
i was going to apply but the same drinking restriction stopped me lads
i will apply but will take them to court over my human right to get pissed at work if i want
“a media-savvy, free marketeer with drive”
Is that code for just another confident bullshitter in a suit?
Another Job For The Likes Of Alan Sugar Then ?
Kalvis Jansons’ petition for Brown to resign has now reached
70,004 signatures.
Interesting targets lie ahead in the next few days: 70,203 will see it equal the next most popular petition, and 70,663 would see it reach the all time top 10 – surely a great message for Brown as he returns from the Lake District.
AND now its all the fault of “middle class” families that the education system is in “crisis” . So expect the bailiffs knocking at YOUR dor if you refuse to pay for your child’s school trip in the future ! PTA meetings were never like this when my kids were at school !!!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8202713.stm
Schools never offered any kind of out-of-hours care when our boys were young. We had to sort it out and pay the going rate, or look after them ourselves.
Parents today don’t know they’re born.
No drinking on the premises? Hell. That’s a bit steep! Don’t think I’ll bother…
Incidentally, The Weekender: government wants to ban BOGOFs, irony-laden government, is Brown Nixon? And sorry, but Labour just can’t hear you!
It’s Rigged Its only Gone Up A Few Thousand Since The Expences ScandalIt Took Me NINE Atempts Back Then To regester As Some Petitions at The Time Were On 15,000 Hits Per Second It Proves It Was Rigged By NO10
Could not agree more.
Mind you he is going to find it a hell of a lot harder rigging the General Election.
Really?
It feels good to finally get over the 70,000 mark, and as your point out some significant targets are not far away.
It would be nice to get it back in the mainstream press again. I wonder if this might happen during this quiet period.
Thank you all for the support, and thank you GF for the high-profile link on your front page.
But you and i both know it was rigged I Said This At The TimE On This Blog And Got A Big Response With One Guy Saying That On The Same Site (No 10) That A petition Was Getting 15,000 Hits Per SecondThis Petition Should Have Gone Over The 1 Million Mark At Least !
Yep. Definately rigged. The count didn’t rise for months. Whatelse can you expect from the Liebore party?
Sounds like a perfect job for Two Jags…..
“We need more out of the box, blue sky thinking, especially relating to schools and hospitals and vulnerable people.”
Do I get the gig?
The job is yours joker, can you start Monday?.
Roll in sometime before lunch and we can discuss terms over brunch.
Off topic but I see that self obsessed prick George Michael is reported to have been arrested after another Road accident in which he is suspected of being out his face. Will he not be satisfied until he has killed someone. Useless washed up tosser !!!
I shall not be applying. I’d not get the job, no engineer would.
We understand numbers all too well, you see.
I understand numbers well too, and know that 100,000 is a large number of pounds for a salary!
Especially for a not-very-productive guesser!
PS I have some bottles of beer under my desk at the office!
I’ll have it. The job is mine. I’ve had lots of experience: many affairs, economic and uneconomic and I’m rather out of pocket at the moment.
£100,000 will do nicely. Years since I went to a party, so no ties there.
No, look, sorry guys, it’s my duty, so just move out of the way, it’s mine – OKAY!
I’ll do it.
just in case Zanu resurrects “24 hours to save the NHS” as a twittercampaing we should resurrect …”48 hours to stop the Iraqi nukes”
“We need more plain speaking………..so…..something happened in America…”
Only watch to about 1.30 mins in, as the rest is the same old same o.
Who’s the bog brush in the whistle?
Lord Bog Brush of Barrowboy to you mr jackoff.
Still biting his nails, I see.
and who was the chancellor of the exchequor during this time of financial incompetence…it was YOU you fucking idiot !!!! Fuck off Brown and Fuck you Sugar you arselicker !
McTwat could of course have it renamed as the IHEA and bring Poly Guts back into the fold as the most suitable candidate. Stranger things have happened. Prescott would cream his Big Man’s Shop jeans at limitless supplies of pie and an enterprising snapper might capture His Lordship’s spotted dick.
Nice to see Mandy the unflushable mincing around the TV studios yesterday congratulating France and Germany for coming out of recession, without the tiniest smidgeon of embarrassment. Takes years of training, that does. At our expense.
107 At the time of his efluence in europe he was the trade czar I think wasn’t he? He wasn’t paid to care about UK business.
He’s congratulating the French and Germans for ‘coming out of recession’ because the technique they have used is the same one Brown is attempting to use. Ie flood the economy with borrowed money. Even the French and German finance ministers are expressing surprise. They know the ‘recovery’ aint real. It’s just a false blip caused by French and German car-buyers taking advantage of their claim-back scheme.
The big problem though is that France and Germany seem to have only needed about 2% of GDP to get their economies out of recession on this metric whereas we were borrowing 3% even before we went into recession. We’re due to spend 200bn quid (13% of GDP) we don’t have this year in an attempt to buy a single quarter of ‘growth’ so Brown can declare the recession over. And it will remain over while we continue to print exponential amounts of money.
It’s the same mechanism whereby Robert Mugabe could claim that his GDP ‘grew’ by several million percent every year. Despite millions of folk starving and unemployment running at 80%. That is the economic and intellectual bankrupcy the imbecile Brown has bestowed on us.
We need the government of the Turks and Caicos to point out the parody inherent in this governments actions….
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8202823.stm
‘It examined the actions of the Turks’ Cabinet and Assembly and found “information in abundance pointing to a high probability of systematic corruption or serious dishonesty”.
It also concluded there were “clear signs of political amorality and immaturity and of a general administrative incompetence”.
Ahahahahaha. Physician heal thyself.
And further in…. think President Blair. And Mandelson. And Kinnock when you admire this bit…
‘Mr Williams said he could not comment on accusations that former premier Michael Misick had corruptly built up a multi-million dollar fortune since coming to power in 2003.‘
Ahahahahahahaha. Fucking priceless.
Thank you for expanding upon the points that I made the other day!
The other big difference is that they threw more of the money towards the general public, instead of to the banksters, à la Empty Gourd!
Lagarde did not declare the recession to be over, just great surprise!
Dear G,
please feel free to ban Thick as Pigshit, but nowhere near as useful!
Such constant bad manners and foul language would find no resting place chez moi!
When I was trekking in Equatorial Guinea recently I was stopped by a goatherd. ‘
Matthew Parris, how wonderful to meet my greatest hero! But why have they never given you a major think-tank to lead in Britain? It’s SO unjust!’

It’s their baby, and the fucker is eating us out of house and home.
It’s not a baby. It’s a fucking giant cuckoo.
My wife gave birth on tuesday,I did not see a single administration worker but I assumed that the top nine floors of the hospital housed them.The only medical qualifications I have is an expired first aid certificate but thats enough to tell me that if the staff outnumber patients when you exclude doctars,nurses and midwives then were back in the seventies again. Its just a job creation scheme for wimmin and the nasty party will have to sack them all,clever eh!
And we give the poor things a three course meal for £2 95!
Congratulations. Its always a special occasion when one’s wife gives birth. I wish you all ‘best wishes’
It’s an f’ing tapeworm, parasite – will eat and eat till the patient is dead (i.e. UK taxpayer). Keep the debate going Hannan!…
Bob Crow spouts about socialism but earns c£90.000 per annum, and the rest. His use of language is a southern version of Prescott’s. He hasn’t lifted a finger to defend the working man during the last 12 years. He really pisses me off!
Wasn’t he the c-unt giving it ‘Brothers and sisters…’ outside that wind-turbine plant on the IoW?
Why doesn’t his fucking union get a loan and buy the fucking factory. Then they really will control the means of production. They could probably pick up all manner of redundant factories at the moment for fuck all. And the employees would doubtless do a fantastic job for a share of the profitable business Bob Crow and his inspirational leadership would produce.
Go on Bob, you c-unt. Why not show us all how it’s done instead of whining when somebody goes out of business. Go on you c-unting c-unt.
In fact I don’t doubt that the politicised Charities Commission (if it can be distracted from declaring Private Schools non-charities as per their political masters directions) will have no trouble at all declaring any union-owned business as some kind of charity, wholly owned by the workers, and therefore exempt from VAT, usurious business rates and other taxes.
So Bob Crow’s union-owned business would, potentially, be getting a 30% cost reduction leg-up compared to competing business. And I’ll bet the c-unts still couldn’t run it profitably.
Or you could just buy some new batteries for your megaphone Bob and go around shouting shit in lieu of actually achieving anything. You worthless piece of shit.
Charities are not exempt from VAT.
The likes of Bob Crow are great at shouting for endless pay increases for the bruvvers and sistaz – they’re not paying.
Crow is a dinosaur, a relic of the Red Robbo days of the 1970s, when the rantings of Scargill etc convinced the rest of the world that the UK was a marxist rat’s nest, producing over priced, badly made crap.
Aye. C’mon Bob. The government is printing fucking cash and laundering it through nationalised banks at the moment. There should be no difficulty in getting a multi-squillion quid soft loan for investment. That way the government can claim business investment is ‘going up’. C’mon Bob. get a big fucking loan at 0.5% interest and buy up these factories and show us all how it’s done.
What’s that? You can’t?
Why not Bob? All talk and no fucking trousers was that Bob?
The problem with the wind driven generator is that they alter the natural magnetic field as they are not brushless well not the cheap ones, and the honey bees get confused and become easy prey for the lost homing pidgeons TaT told me over a skunk box
Only fucking mugs sign up to unions even the miners to their horror realised what a bunch of tw*ts they where dealing with soon after King Arthurs lunacy started.
OT but I note the likelihood of any intelligent debate on the NHS has receded as the BBC has been forced to broadcast Obama saying that he has unfortunately had to turn down the offer of a “British style NHS” thanks very much anyway and will be working on something different. Well done Hannan. Ho, ho! I bet there are some very confused BBC types waffling around over their muesli this morning trying to reconcile their love of all things Obama with their reverence for the good old NHS (which they avoid like the plague, er obviously).
I won’t even bother to apply for the job. I’m a mere woman, and men don’t like women.
Ere luv, make me a sandwich and a cuppa tea.
Two sugars.
And a happy ending.
Phil, Mr. O’Pastree sir, …..at your service,…. your sandwiches,…..with or without crusts?
Maybe some men don’t like women, but to tar us all with that brush is plain wrong, and downright insulting.
You tell her, Engineer! They should never have been given the vote.
I don’t mind banter, but if there has to be debate or comment on a subject that touches many people’s sensitivities, perhaps it would be best to leave the cheap jibes out.
My point is that most men have as much respect for women as they have for other men. The assertion that all men dislike women in some way is just plain wrong.
It’s probably that time of the month, you insensitive fuck.
I like women!
Generally better company than men!
Much easier on the eye!
Maurice Chevalier knew what he was singing about!
Oh god! You’re all so heavy! Only joking! I know a man or three who ‘like’ me fine. Men just run things (on the whole) don’t they? Methinks you doth protest too much! A little touch of sensitivity there?!
“I know a man or three who ‘like’ me fine.”
I just knew you were a swinger. Car keys at the ready madam.
I love women Contessa, but are you as pretty as Mandlefondlesboysbums.
How could I possibly be as pretty as mandelslime’s addendum?!
HERE LOVE WEAR A SHORT TOP SO WE CAN HAVE A GANDER OF YOUR JUGS.
HERE LOVE WEAR A SHORT SKIRT SO WE CAN HAVE A PEEK UP.
The job is your’s Barefoot. Men have been excluded, and you fit the role perfectly!
A story that sums up everything that is wrong with this fucked-up country:
Traveller family paid for by council to live in a £1 mil house, and despite evidence they are trashing the place, causing havoc and being anti-social, no one seems to be able to do a thing …..read it and weep. It’s your money.

The Totteridge area is overpriced anyway. The Barnet Council will save money because the local rentable value will come down every month.
The funny thing is they never do anything like this where councillors or MPs live. It’s a remakable non-coincidence.
Yes it is a mystery isn’t it? Blairs ‘hood is a shithole and it ain’t cheap neither. What I think you meant was this never happens in commie councils?
The ‘Insitute of Economic Affairs’ reminds me of a young lady accountant I used to know, with modest tastes.
Sir Willy, are you revealing the extent of your sausage and mash?!!
Tank ‘eaven for leetle Boys
I am worried
Should Lord (ahahahah) Foldlebum become President of Europe just how should we address Reinaldo?
“Queen?”
“Keeper of the royal bed chamber?”
The title of “First knob Jockey” would be innappropraite as that title so obviously belongs to his special friend Lord (ahahahah) Fondlebum.
Any suggestions?
How About El President’s Knob Socket Or The First Man’s Cock Socket Or Lord Of The Ring ?
A hundred grand per annum for a dopey job gueessing the outcome of
various theoretical situations ?
H ow can we continue to begrudge our mps a proper salary ?
It is shameful that the mps listed below have been compelled to provide their services to the erlectorate for a cut-price
E and Y Balls , Margaret Beckett , Peter Hain , Harriet Harman , Patricia Hewitt
Dame Gerald Kaufman , Elliot Morley , John Prescott , Dawn Primorolo , Stephen Pound , Sion Simon
(See appendix for list of additional names )
It is scandalous that this group of talented,charismatic ,highly competent indviduals has been so badly treated by its employer.
Each one of the group should resign in protest about the disgraceful, parsimonious, emolument for which they are expected to slave away 3 days per week for more than half a year ,every year.
What a penny pinching nation we have become due to this regime of frugal spenders.
Brown you fat, flabby usesless fu@k-you should be impeached for the money you’ve squandered, for you immigration policy, and for crimes against the British people.
Come the revolution, you will be sought out, tried, and be made to pay for what you have done-and all your hollow lieutenants who followed you like sheep.
It won’t be enough to say
“I was only following orders”
One day I want to see a photo of Gordon Brown posing like the Saddam picture where he is having a DNA swab taken. (Funny that I’m reminded because when you see a picture of Saddam on a balcony waving to his countrymen he has perfect teeth but in the capture pictures his teeth aren’t the same). Anyway I’m sure MI5 will be able to collar Brown and the rest on our grateful behalf one day.
I want to see him making placatory gestures with a look of terrible realisation on his face, like Ceaucescu. Of course he never gets anything like as close to the public as did Ceaucescu.
Why are many council jobs advertises as ‘no cv needed or accepted’???
Just curious
Dr Richard Head
* advertised
‘Cos they are written up once you get through probation?
Mr Head
Simple explanation
A Cv IS possible evidence in a case involving “pecuniary advantage by deception”
You think that the average Hoon(so fucking average) Tells the truth when seeking to offer their “skills” in service of the public?
All twats and they know it.
The chaps(and ladies) who sweep my streets, go to war for me ,empty my bins and when not filling out out forms patrol my streets get my respect.
The rest can Fuck off
In other words it’s a code to potential employees? We know you’re so crap that you’re going to have to bullshit on your CV, but don’t worry, we’re so desperate to employ limp leftie guardian reading tossers like you that you won’t have to send us a CV so there’s no risk of your bullshit ever being found out. Job for life, huge pension, trebles all round!
£100,000 for a wank; rather expensive in’it?
Just think……for a while…………..100k………David Beckham?
No he’s too employable
Another job the wankers can’t do. Ho! anything to keep the employment stats down.
Seriously, It will be a job for one of the “boys”.
Allready arranged done, dusted, I may be a cynical arsehole.
Typical of this devious lot we call ” our leaders”
Labour voter’s take note
MANDLEBUM… UNELECTED….BROWN UNELECTED.
