Even though she is being cynically used to humanise Gordon via Twitter, her blog and a raised profile, Guido thinks there is no need for Sarah Brown to go on Sesame Street.
She already lives on Downing Street with a Grouch…

Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
its also coz we hate her husband
She needs to save all the good material for her memoirs in case his don’t sell.
P.S. Cameron should welcome the proposal for a High Pay Commission with open arms. It used to be called the Top Salaries Review Board and was used to wind up the pay of those at the top of the Public Sector and the Quangocracy by giving them parity with those running UK-based multi-nationals or risk businesses – whether or not the latter had any pension rights at all.
Meanwhile Towers Perrin et all played a similar game with the remuneration committees of the latter.
The time has come to continue that game – winding the salaries down with the comparisons set to zero if the private sector reference point has gone bust – and pension rights valued in full.
Surely that should be ‘WHEN’ his don’t sell? ‘Courage’ book is in all the remainders bookstores with the price steadily going down…..down……down.
I used to feel desperately sorry for Sarah Brown but since her ‘introduction’ at the Party Conference last year I reckon she’s tarred with the same brush as McSnot.
She’s just another spin machine for newlabour, they can’t live without them. She should keep her mouth shut or she’ll end up tarred with the same brush.
I suspect – too late! She married McSnot – no matter what happens, except a publicly messy and serious allegations based divorce – will she ever extracate herself from his fate.
She reminds me of Rock Hudson’s wife.
I bet she makes him put a bag over his head when he wants to pork her.
Just image that filthy unkempt pig on top of you with his mucky haggis up your box.
Continuing from yesterday’s blog by Guido – where’s the bould, brave Gordon now the shit is hitting the fan over the release of the Lockerbie bombing? And Mandelsnake? Both of them cowering away in the dark – Mandelsnake even using the excuse of ill health (Nothing trivial I hope your Lordship?). If ever there was just one moment that defined above all others why James Gordon Brown should not be PM, this is it. Gordon’s theme song for Conference should be ‘Coward of the Country’.
Couldn’t you just see Churchill taking his holidays during Dunkirk? Or making himself uncontactable during the Battle of Britain? That’s what Gordon would do.
Just an arse reconstruction from having too many cks up it.
There is a o in the middle of cks just as there is one in the middle of arse
Dear Mad Lorndelson,
I was so surprised and delighted to hear you were ill in hospital,
just wanted to wish you well,
indeed, the whole country wishes you were down one.
Yours sincerely,
Agatha Crusty.
NHS presumably?? Wouldn’t it be awful if he caught something and finished up as one of the 30,000 whom the NHS have killed in the past 5 years? Absolutely terrible.
I understand that most of the Cabinet are right behind him.
Knowing how devious Mandelson is, can one be sure that the Turp`s operation ( Transurethral Resection of the Prostate ) was carried out as necessary or was it a ploy to become the cynosure? Or was it to allow his Brazilian squeeze an unbroken night`s sleep or was it an attempt to reduce his cleaning bills? The cleaners have complained about the state of his trousers. At any rate his newly bestowed nickname of `TURPS` sums up his oleaginous character.
UGH !
When will we see Mandelscum’s blue suede prostate exhibited at Madame Tussaud’s ??!
446. I’d rather see parts pickeled in a specimin jar in the museum for traitors
She’s got too many sockpuppets around her as it is
Dear Countrymen
I thought it would be fitting to break the news to the the new media users first, that in light of my tenure as Prime Minister that i will be releasing a second book based on my memiors named ‘Gordon Brown: My Struggle’ exclusively through Google Books in a landmark deal.
I am currently half way through writing the book and am pleased to announce it will be released six months after the next general election whatever the outcome.
I am also pleased to further announce, I have been courted by American publishing houses for a further two book deal with a further lecture tour and book deal based on sales.
I am therefore proud to announce this project early so it affords you all an equal opportunity to be able to pre-order the book via the new media internet.
Yours Truly

Sorry Gordon but as one ex-Chancellor to another you’ll have to do a re-work of the title I’ve already got the “Worldwide Rights” both in the original German and English translation.

Sorry Gordon. This book won’t pass our quality control. It will be full of predictable, repetetive slogans. Try the ‘Mr Men’ publishers (‘Mr Snotty’ would be very fitting).
How rightly named
Look, if Gordon went on Sesame Street he could be taught simple mathematics by The Count, and The Cookie Monster would find out that Gordon has also a voracious appetite – for money!
I thought Mandelslime was The Count?
A surplus to requirements “o” methinks.

You’re quite right of course but being a lady, I’d never use THAT word, even though in the case of Mandlescum, it is quite apt.

From today’s leader in the Sunday Times:
“In 2002 the Dutch government resigned when a report found it had sent soldiers into combat without the necessary equipment. It says much about the prime minister that his only response has been to suppress the report.”
Time is running out for the fucker at No 10.
Who to replace him though?
This morning’s visit to the loo was unusually protracted – one of those massive bloogers which take forever and ever. In the end it turned into a scoop-it-out job, you know the ones I mean, a couple of fingers tugging around the rim, while the other hand tugs at the bit just about protuding. After a bit more grunting and tugging things start to move, you’re not pulling it out exactly, and pieces breakaway, but it gets the job done after a fashion.
It’s a bit like trying to get the Labour Party out, and they probably need a helping hand.
Every little helps
Filling another turkey baster…
Election’s only months away y’know.
Wassup bitch. Gordon’s beard can fuck off.
He wasn’t elected and she’s not wanted.

Some question my logic without realising the long game, It’s a good job my father raised me as a son of the manse with a strong moral belief of forgiveness.
I have bettered and helped my fellow man in the great United Kingdom for future generations with shrewd moves but I am a modest man and do not look for praise.
I even managed to find a small amount of spare time to step up to the plate to help the world in it’s time of need as a testament of the great British spirit within us all to help the needy in their hour of need.
By looking out for my fellow countrymans interests i’ve insured by the time the next world recession comes about we will have passed it completely as we will still be in this recession. Thus enabling us to emerge a stronger nation while others will be sliding down the slope.
Yes I have taken the country a step back in order to take this country two step’s forward.
I know, I know i have heard the gasps of astonishment amongst senior and world respected figures and economists and leaders at such a genius move, I merely smile and carry on strengthing this great countries position for the future.
I do not ask history to call me a genius or to heap praise for being the greatest labour party leader and prime minister in the history of this fine country,or for being a world statesman and economic genius oh no, for the truth of the matter is, There’s no flash, I’m just a simple and humble man called Gordon.
Thank you for your ears fellow countrymen and women and transgenders and asexuals and other ethnic miniorites.

Sarah-about-to-be-booted-out-of-Downing-Street Brown is to appear on Sesame Street? Yes she has been busy trying to save her husbands dead-and-buried career. What with Twitter, NOTW sunday magazine, Glanstonbury and now this.
She must be desparate to avoid “wife of the worse unelected PM in history” title. She’ll probably get blamed by her husband for the forthcoming anihalation.

When you’re the problem mate, there’s no way anyone will talk to you or seek your advice. Have you ever thought of trying hang-gliding without the glider?
Bungee jumping 100ft on a 110ft rope would be fun to watch.
91. I knew a Splat that did that once
I know the bloke who tied the rope on. Horrible mess. Good suggestion for Gorgon’s holiday though…
BULLSHIT; it’s in Labour’s D-N-A.
She’s making a fool of herself, especially when she’s wearing wellington boots.
But Wellington is dead, so she’s doing the right and proper thing (@GB) in recycling.
I wasn’t aware that that Gordon Brown had any healthy habits. In fact the whole rotten cabinet is a seething swamp of vile and contemptible practices. No amount of fragrant spouses, beards or even Kermit the Frog can hide that.
Dear Phillip
In that last article you may of noticed my letter about the new ‘Gordon Brown’s Fitness DVD’ that I have created to show the results of my new workout regime and to aid in the fight against obesisty in Britian.
You may have also noted I have pledged brand new sixty billion pounds to be created in the mint this afternoon to the cause.
Healthy habits lead to sound body and mind and it’s only fitting that with my new healthy body and sound mind leading the country that it’s citizens follow my example.

OH FFS, my mother taught me what I need to know and I’ll pass this on to my children too.
This use of ‘pop culture’ is more than in my face, it’s forcing its way down my throat.
This is despicable in the extreme and whilst I don’t have a lot of time for Sarah Brown, she’s right not to become involved in such blatant propaganda and big brother manipulation.
The ‘state’ is not our parent. The ‘state’ is quietly turning us into the ‘borg’ – IF WE LET IT…
Sorry, Sukyspook, the State has decided that normal parents cannot be trusted to bring up children. They interfere with the message the BBC has been trying to put across about equality and tolerance and the worst offenders in this respect are the middle class – the ‘chattering classes’ – who remain stubbornly set in their conservative ways. They refuse to embrace change and are standing in the way of progress. Hence families must be broken up. It’s the only way forward and the ends justify the means. The State will make a far better job of shaping our children’s minds. You’ll see.
” Sarah Brown, she’s right not to become involved in such blatant propaganda and big brother manipulation.”
She allowed herself to be used as a stooge at the Gay Pride parade, so she can hardly claim the high ground for being above pandering to the P.C. tribe, or anything else for that matter.
Sigh…..I bow to your superior recollection summer_breeze – but I suspect you get my gist regarding Sesame Street…..
Sarah Brown is obviously a ‘beard’…nothing, NOTHING is at it seems in this ‘reality’…soon to become a truly ‘virtual reality’ with the introduction of entirely digital broadcasting….I hope you have ‘eyes to see and ears to hear’ to see through the ‘signs and lying wonders’…
I agree with your other comments Susy, of course they want us to assimilate into their way of thinking.
As for her appearing on Sesame Street, I hope nobody ever seriously considers the idea.
What right has she got to inflict herself on other peoples kids?
She wants to do a bit of thinking about her own kids and their future welfare.
Can you imagine the bullying they will get at school and all the playground taunts they will have to suffer as a result of their dad being a complete and utter failure.
What wonderful lives they have ahead of them (not ), I feel rather sorry for them to be honest.
Sarah, if you’re reading this please do us all a favor and tell your husband he is a failed politician, a compulsive liar and cheat, leaves nose hairs in the bathroom sink, ear wax on on the pillows and should return to the Glens of Scotland to take up caber tossing, preferably on his head.

It’ll take a damn sight more than Sarah Brown, Twitter or anything else to “humanise” Mc Doom ..
Let’s face it .. the man is permanently out of step with the rest of society, he fails to comprehend even the basics of “getting along” with other people .. he inhabits his own private world, where he is “Supreme Leader” and is always right ..
I do believe the correct technical term for this condition is … Insanity …
He always looks psychologically stressed, could that be because he’s never come out?
He’s never come out AND he’s not gifted in any way shape or form or length. Probably
Oh come on. Mr Brown is gifted in the following areas>
OK, so you’re right, he is a farce!
More on Lockerbie.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/6072174/Lockerbie-bomber-Britain-denies-trade-deal.html
Summary.
Scotland was solely responsible for the release; England signed the Trade Deal; there is no connection between the two events, (and America having lost the oil deal will now shaft Vauxhall).
I forgot to mention;
We face the real prospect of widespread power cuts unless we rapidly build more (gas fired) power stations and have access to a reliable gas supply.
Building nuclear power stations cannot be done quickly enough.
fired by libyan gas no doubt.
The point about nuclear power station construction lead-time is valid, but we do not need to build more gas-fired stations, about 40% of our existing capacity is gas-fired.
We could, fairly rapidly, build high-efficiency supercritical coal-fired stations. A lot have been built and are operating in China, and many of those are British-designed (Doosan Babcock). There would be some harrumphing from the green lobby, but as the new stations are replacements for less efficient existing stations, this will fade.
The Green busybodies have fucked this country. Their shrill “No Nuclear Power!” mantra has severely hindered clean nuclear power technology and resulted in colossal air pollution from the filthy alternatives they’ve forced on us. Bastards.
Completely agree Mr Engineer. Sure, there are problems but it’s dirt cheap, we’ve got the coal, it’ll create jobs (rather than import high skilled from frogland), it’s quick to build and even quicker to decommission, it’s safe (if it blows up, get a picnic and take some photos) – if it’s just about bullshit philosophy or wanky politics – well, fuck em.
We need replacement of both our nuclear and coal-fired electricity generating capacity. It’s just that building the coal-fired stations will be quicker.
One additional point – Moley’s post at 11:38 a.m. mentioned building more gas-fired power stations. We may not need to build more, but a secure and lasting fuel supply for the existing ones will be no bad thing, and we have to consider the industrial heating and domestic markets must be supplied to. We currently import from the gulf, and try to avoid reliance on the other source from Russia. Diversity of suppliers would be sensible.
More than 30 years ago the chairman of the central electricity generating
board warned that it was impossible to envisage adequate production of electricial energy without expanding nuclear generation .
The maniacs in the green party shouted him down .
The chairman was forced out . The green party has prospered ever since .
The electorate shoulders plenty of blame for the current state of affairs for
giving credence to the semi-lunatic ,fanatical greens who are still peddling
their scare stories promoting the madcap belief that mankind is the
principal cause of climate change
It is more likely to be our EU masters who have the last word on coal powered stations. The “green lobby” is just a sideshow.
What about UCG (Underground Coal Gasification?)
So far as I am aware, Underground Coal Gasification has not been tried on a large scale, but it is a technology with potential. It offers a way to access deep coal measures without the hazards of deep mining. We’ll have to see if anyone takes up the development challenges.
There is no such thing as CLEAN nuclear power! We don’t own the nuclear power stations anyway. EDF own them, probably a stitch up between the gorgon and his brother! The problem is so serious and so complicated I would suggest short paragraphs are not even touching the subject! A 100 page document wouldn’t cover it. We do know that we’ve sold out to a foreign country as far as nuclear power is concerned. If people weren’t so keen on eating huge quantities of beef the gasses produced would be less, if all houses had solar panels fitted, energy would be saved (small steps but going in the right direction.) America is by far the most wasteful nation on the planet – have you asked them what they are going to do about reducing their carbon emissions? Ultimately man is the problem.
192 barefootcontessa seems to ignore the fact that over 80% of French electricity is nuclear produced, and they aren’t all sporting two heads or dying of radiation sickness.
We have tragically allowed the false publicity of the green lobby to lead to the withering of our leadership position in nuclear power.
HB, the French wouldn’t know. The French government is excessively secretive. France is such a large country that nuclear power stations can be more easily hidden. Ask any French man/woman where they are, and they havn’t a clue! The French are primarily interested in food. I checked them out a couple of years ago (the power stations not the French!)
Moley, don’t talk facile crap! That includes comments 23 and 25.
I don’t think that remark constitutes intelligent debate.
Who are you to decide what ‘constitutes intelligent debate?’ My comment was simply a statement of fact.
It is not a fact, it is an isolated opinion.
Justify it.
fuck off moley you boring c’unt.
barefootcontessa does not have to explain herself to a wanker like you.
re-read her post if you do not understand what she has said you dullard.
idiot.
Tat, you make my heart sing!
Precisely what you need, a shite in whining amour.
Want to bet? If we were on a war footing and the red tape,hse,green and pc brigade were consigned to the historical swamp they emanated from I think you would find that nuclear power stations could and should be built a bloody sight quicker that they are now.
Can it be true that we would need to be ‘on a war footing’ simply to look them all in the face and tell them to trot off back to the Progressive thinktanks from which they came?
BAE Systems is packed full of talented engineers would could usefully and profitably be redeployed to designing things which neither explode, nor kill.
The drain, in men, materiel [sic] and lives drives nations to bankruptcy and despair. Labour’s urgent embrace of military solutions to other people’s problems is pathological. Is there a psychiatrist in the house?
Suicidal, possessed of Messianic tendencies…
Do we really need to be ‘on a war footing’ to tell the lot of them to crawl back to whatever Progressive thinktank they came from in the first place?
The cost in men, materiel [sic] and civilian lives of waging war in the name of protecting another country’s interests suggests that another goal is being sought, such as bolstering the ego of a voluntary combatant – or conversely that the goal is self-destruction through bankruptcy, ignominy and the like.
Is there a psychiatrist in the house?
Why is the oil price rising?
Why have all the empty tankers been filled with oil?
Why has Libyan oil and gas become so important?
Why is Obama so upset; is it about the release, or is it about the oil and gas?
It is possible that given the aftermath of the Iranian elections and the Irainian pursuit of nuclear weapons that a decision has been taken to take the necessary action.
This would be likely to hit oil supply and price and it is therefore better to be done sooner, whilst global demand is lower, due to the recession.
Do we really want a Country which sponsors terrorism and blows airliners out of the sky to have nuclear weapons?
“Do we really want a Country which sponsors terrorism and blows airliners out of the sky to have nuclear weapons?”
lilke the USA who sponsored Bin Laden and blew an Iranian civillian air liner out of the sky?
A good point, but there is a difference between those countries which have nuclear weapons and sponsor terrorism which are on our side, and those countries which have (or want) nuclear weapons, sponsor terrorism, and have declared themselves to be our sworn enemies.
The world is less perfect than we would like and there is clearly a lot of hypocrisy spoken about nuclear weapons which are evil and dangerous when our enemies have them but a thoroughly good thing for world peace in our own hands.
Your second paragraph makes sense.
I want to appear in Sesame Street as a ‘elicopter pilot to state that malicious gossip propogated by bereaved families that we have insufficent military resources in theatre is totally riduculous.
I have now sanctioned an increase in union flags, coffins and body bags to be sent to theatre.
Yus, cos it’s ‘do-able’ and winnable.
“I have now sanctioned an increase in union flags, coffins and body bags to be sent to theatre.”
Don’t you mean amphitheatre? It seems a more appropriate term.
Dear countrymen and women and visitiors illegal and legal.
I find it telling that you would rather ‘play the man, than the ball’ after working tirelessy to reform the expenses system and to sack employees who plotted dirty comments against other party colleagues that you would engage in such gutter politics and attack my wife personally.
Such biterness and personal attacks are not welcome in the fair and equal society, I and the Labour party are working day and night to create.
It is a very sad reflection on you tiny miniority that engage in such bitterness, my strong moral upbringing urges me to forgive you. I feel an empathy with the slurs that Jesus Christ of Nazarene endured during his life, a life very similair to my own.
With that in mind i will turn the other cheek and endure your personal attacks but ask you to spare my wife.
In reflection let’s take stock in the words of the Holy Bible:
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. (Luke 23:34)
Yours Truly
Gordon Brown PM
just fuck off you one eyed scottish hoon
Gormless, kindly take stock also of these ancients words;
‘Quos deus vult perdere, prius dementat’
Si Señor, y hasta la vista – Brown es un hijo de puta.
Well, he hs done the first bit!!
He’s certainly mad – now can we move on to the “destroy” part of the saying?
Isn’t it great how with Google and Wikipedia, the lack of a classical education is no longer an impediment to understanding?
Think of the younger readers. Delete “…the lack of a classical education…” and insert “…without any useful education..”
James Gordon Brown PM , remarkably similar to other trolls here, is ruining my listening to the Test Match commentary – now fuck off
Doing well at the moment, eh! (10m before lunch)
Now that Gaddafi has let it be known that Gordon his “courageous friend”, will Gordon be inviting his Mad Dog mate to write a chapter in his next book on courage?
Sarah Brown is a public relations professional who was enlisted to “marry” Gay Gordon Brown as it was imperative he married if he was ever to succeed Blair.
Sarah is a smokescreen, a fully paid-up fag-hag. I believe the gays refer to it as a “beard”.
It’s the worst kept secret in the MSM and it’s only D notices that stops various papers reporting it.
Dear Anonymous Citizen
I hope your affairs are in order as I will, be serving you with a legal writ and injunction for smearing my wife and my good name, i will pursue this matter further after consulting my lawyers and will opt to sue you for libel damages if possible.
You may ask how this process is possible, well I have to inform you under the FOI Act that I am ringing my good friend Alan Johnson to find out your IP address and details.
Yours Truly
Gordon Brown PM
D-Notices?
This relates to Defence. I’m quite sure that GB being Gay is not a national secret!
In fact – it barely makes it as a secret, assuming there are people who still haven’t figured it out yet!
Dear Dr Nuts
I will be looking into sending a Cease & Desist order to you as well for smearing my good nature and high moral standing within society.
Yours Truly
Gordon Brown PM
High moral standing?
When marriage is legislated against with the removal of married persons allowance, making co-habiting more financial sense – like the homosexuals do?
Or, trying to reduce the age of consensual homosexual behaviour to 16?
Legalising buggery for ‘hetrosexuals’ – so you can enjoy your beard?
Trying to force ‘married women’ into destitution during their pension years (I have a case, married for over 40 years, paid her NI – pension -> £25 pw). There’s another 800,000 cases exactly like her. I got her pension now upto £35pw, despite to the flim-flam of sycophant Lord Luton!
Still fighting!
Dear Dr Nuts
I will not be engaging in a petty feud over details and semantics when common manners of a gentleman dictate what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom.
Yours Truly
Gordon Brown PM
Dr Nuts your knowledge of the issuing and use of
D-notices is naive at best, but reading most of the bollocks you write I think you just know sweet FA. Good luck may I suggest you read more not just red tops.
They dont need to report it, we all know. Its a bit like Julian Clary telling his parents he is Gay.
Looks like Brown is finished. The yanks are furious that he and Mandelson did a deal behind the scenes with the Libyans to exchange the Lockerbie bomber for oil contracts. The SNP were bought off by Brown with sweeteners of their own.
It’s all unravelling now. Gaddafi’s son couldn’t keep his big mouth shut. The Libyans have what they want and they don’t care how much they embarrass the British government.
Brown has cocked up big style this time.
Dear Anonymous Citizen
As a political novice, I don’t expect you to understand or have a working knowledge of the sabre rattling and hard decisions that need to be made on the world stage day by day by experienced world leaders such as I, your Prime Minister.
Yours Truly
Gordon Brown PM
Credit where it’s due.
Returning an innocent man who is terminally ill to his own country, stopping an appeal which would be politically embarrassing and gaining an oil and gas contract in exchange looks like good and pragmatic politics, unsavoury though it is.
Yes, I watched the Channel 4 program – and gave it the credence it’s worth – none! It fixated on a small part of evidence, and came across as very contrived.
Be aware what you watch on TV, if there’s an agenda – it may not be displayed, and counter arguments may not be presented. One man’s truth may just be the majority’s fiction.
If you cannot see the agenda displayed it’s probably because you have never looked behind that particular curtain. FFS, even the Met Office weather forecasts serve, and are bent to serve, an agenda.
If you knew what you were talking about you would would use the term oil & gas licence rather than contract. But you don’t and you’re just muckraking in the dark.
I think the “yanks” already sussed Brown out as untrustworthy some time ago. As an aside I wonder if Brown has watched all 25 DVDs yet ?
Everything with Brown’s fingerprints on it turns to shit. We all know that only to well to our cost. Why is anyone surprised?
For all kids and fans of Sesame Street without any picture please make up the 10-piece jigsaw:
1) Biggs is recently released from jail on compassionate grounds.
2) Gaddafi is about to celebrate 40 years as Libyan leader after deposing King Idris in 1969.
3) Unelected Lord Mandelson recently meets Gaddafi’s son on Corfu yaught
4) With Gadaffi’s plane in the background a “surprise” announcement by Scottish Justice Minister that Lockerbie bomber is to be released on compassionate grounds, having 3 months to live which ‘ironically’ is the exact length of remaining time allowed for a prisoner to be freed.
5) Lockerbie bomber is flown to Tripoli the day before the start of Ramadan
6) Gordon Brown requests no celeberation on return of Ali al-Megrahi to Tripoli
7) Gaddaffi effectively tells Brown to sod off and celebrates return of Ali al-Megrahi to Tripoli with ‘fake’ Scottish flags.
8) Foreign Office says release of bomber had nothing to do with oil deals.
9) Gaddafi’s son said release of bomber had erything to do with oil deals.
10) Unelected Lord Mandelson and unelected Gordon Brown go into hiding for upsetting their hero Obama Beach and blame it all on the SNP.
And kids what is the final undisputed picture, a crock of horse shit.
So – the Brown/Mandelson choice was, let Megrahi rot in Scotland for 3 months, earn general condemnation form the EU and don’t get an oil deal, or let him go, earn general condemnation from the US and yes, get an oil deal. Having chosen the latter course to then be able to demonstrate clean hands, because it was Scotland what done it appears to be a masterstroke of political inventiveness in the British people’s interest that we have not come to expect from NuLab.
If all this is the case the fall out from the US will be short-lived, so long as we continue to support them in Afghanistan. More dead soldiers there will be the price we have to pay- that will play badly for Brown- Public opinion is quickly turning against continued involvement on the current terms.
However, if Brown/Mandelson have effectively sidelined the US in Libya, and they have won significant energy independence from the US and Russia going forward, and at the same time set our stock higher in the Arab World generally, then the Megrahi/oil equation looks even better.
The next 6 months will tell the tale- if Magrahi is able to finger Iran for Lockerbie credibly, Shell/BP make big Libyan announcements, Brown announces a pull back fom Afganistan (in anticipation of an Iranian thrust, a much more credible threat to us), this could all play very well for him.
And it won’t matter how long Magrahi lasts- it’s the SNPs fault- they put him away erroneously in the first place, and why didn’t Salmond have an inquiry?
But we are talking Brown so it will be fascinating to see how this blows up in his face.
Just got this feeling it cannot be so trite.
And if Iran is fingered up it will be an excuse to attack them to please the israelites
Crock of horse shit: YOU are a conspiracy theorist and I claim my £5…
Dot-joining and Truth are the new black. Kudos to you….a few million more of us and we WILL change the world for the better.
Truth is evil
I wonder how much in backhanders Mandelscum got for arranging the oil for prisoner deal?
Is this how he manages to pay off the mortgage on a £2.5 million house?
Good thinking!
From Bloomberg News: The 8 billion-pound ($13.2 billion) monthly budget deficit in July reported during the week pushed up public debt to 801 billion pounds. That equals 56.8 percent of gross domestic product, the most since comparable records began in 1974 and more than when the U.K. received an International Monetary Fund loan in 1976.
“It’s scorched earth,” said Michael Ben-Gad, deputy head of the economics department at City University in London. “Whoever gets into government next will have to make very large cuts in services and also raise taxes. You’ll end up with U.S. levels of services and Scandinavian levels of tax.”
Nice work, Gordon.
It’s actually called ‘ScoTched Earth’
Yet again the conservatives will be blamed for the actions that are desperately needed to be taken right now by the very knobheads who voted 3 times to keep these lying Labour scum in power.
It just makes me want to puke as been here done this and got the T shirt and 3 redundancies last time around in the first year of Mrs Thatcher. That situation occurred solely and absolutely because of the previous Labour government yet even to this day Labour keep bringing that up as Tory responsibility. The trouble is many are just too young to remember it and are taken it by Labour bullshit and lies.
So,,,,,,,,,,Here we fucking go again…. LABOUR DOES NOT WORK, NEVER HAS NEVER WILL and expect to be in the same sitaution in around 20 years time after the Tories put all the broken parts back together again just in time for the dumb arseholes to vote Labour so they can fuck it all up AGAIN
Jesus wept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why don’t we ever learn
Dear Agent 99
I have previously addressed this issue that interest rates and debt are at an low and manageable level under the Labour government, looking after hard working families is the number one concern of this administration.
The Tories track record on wrecking the economy speaks for it’s self, I impeach you to stop trying to tack wanton fallacies to my stewarship of the economy.
Here is my earlier video reply about interest rates:
Yours Truly
Gordon Brown PM
We do learn – we just don’t communicate the message to the youngsters – who believe they always know better, and are able to do whatever we couldn’t.
I’m in favour of charging the PLP with Treason for their mismanagement of the economy, and the deliberate destruction of the private pensions.
Guido – you are being very mean now!!
Keep it up!
sarah obviously has her own agenda.why marry a well known homosexual?
a man of courage with……… no courage
a former chancellor with no understanding of economics or trading,
( the pre-announcement of the gold sale cost the country £7 BILLION!!!!)
and no personality!
and now the icing on the cake………
a dodgy deal with gaddafi………..
because we need oil!!!!!!!!!
40 years of north sea oil and gas-all the money pissed away by every govt. and stolen by big business……….
Yeah, but on the plus side, Mandy’s made a tidy few quid out of it. That should give us cause for some cheer, shouldn’t it? I mean the folks on here are not ungenerous in their admiration for an enterprising fellow who cuts a dash with his panama hat, beige slacks and blue suede shoes!
Can’t we go back to mandelscum’s arse? It was much funnier!
An inflamed prostate can limit ejaculatory function, and I for one am delighted that Lord Fondlebum of Boy will soon be back to bustin’ a nut like a Supersoaker
Oh, no! Yipes!
Who’d want to take an interest in his arse.
Red hot poker is what is needed vis-a-vis Dark Sith Lord of Everything Mandelbum’s arse.
King Edward II is a good example of what’s needed.
Yeah 129- prick him like a spud u like
Speaking as a pedant can I say that the allusion to Grouches in Downing Street raises certain issues:
Kermit seems to be like Alisdair Darling, but hierarchy would suggest he should be Gordon Brown.
Miss Piggy would appear to be Harriet Harman, although Miss Piggy is not a feminist and does not have a law degree.
Fozzy Bear – perhaps Ed Balls…
Anyway a spot of clarification would help
They’re talking about Sesame Street, you Muppet!
The real reason why Sarah isn’t doing Sesame Street is that when asked, the producers replied:
“But we’ve already got a Big Beard character…”
What’s sesame st?
I’ve been wondering how gordon got the snp to agree to the release of almegrahi because it is quite clear, that politically and financially, scotland had nothing to gain from it.
Then I found out that the Barnett Formula by which we provide funding to scotland is agreed by the Cabinet not Parliament, is merely a convention with no legal standing and can be changed by the Treasury at will.
It seems likely that gordon made it clear that if the snp did not release megrahi as he wanted, their funding would be drastically reduced.
Fiendishly cunning, these Scots! (and Mandy of course).
A good guess Nell and you could well be right but where is the proof?
Not that there is anything wrong with trading a dying man for access to a supply of oil and gas, it is just that they should be open and honest about their motives. The banks are also said to be doing well with trade deals in libya so RBS may also be a key factor.
Not convinced about your supposition there Nell. The ‘Lockerbie’ denouement may take several months/years to disentangle. Alex Salmond is a consummate politician, and may have taken the gamble of releasing Megrahi hoping it would help his fight to win referendum (not too far away) for Scottish Independence. (Nothing to do with newlabour who were marginally criticised in Makaskill’s speech.
The gorgon will be squirming that he has been praised by Lebanon for the release, but what can he say? He has been caught in a cleft stick. Mandelscum is already well enough to make a statement , – he says there was absolutely no oil deal. The UK government, I’m sure, would prefer to disassociate themselves from the whole fracas, but it’s too late now! I believe the Scots were right to free Megrahi, whatever.
The SNP have been able to kick both the British and US governments in the nuts at the same time. A line has been drawn in the heather,and Salmond is looking to the future of the Union. The E Union. Scotland as a member state,not controlled from Westminster. All part of the big game that is politics. If you read the full text of MacAskill’s speech,i think he put the entire blame on Brown and Straw.
Agree, UKD, didn’t like to stress this point too much! I actually hope and have some faith that Salmond will gain in the end from this gamble. MacAskill, I felt , used a moral persuasion that appeared genuine whatever the ghastly baying of politicians around him!
I agree that the SNP seeks to gain from this incident, as Salmond has only one objective, to separate Scotland from the UK.
Any opportunity to embarrass Brown will be taken, as Salmond is hoping that Westminster will overreact.
He can then claim that the SNP stood up to international pressure and that Scotland should shake off Westminster interference.
This places the holier than thou tone of the Scottish Justice Minister in context. He was quite prepared to insult the hundreds of American families who lost loved ones at Lockerbie for the narrow political advantage of his own party.
HB How did he insult the American relatives exactly? Scotland DID stand up to American political pressure. The Scottish Minister DID criticise the British government, and rightly. I think you will hear the gorgon, mandlescum, milliwotsit et al trotting out lame excuses and trying to distance themselves from Scotland’s decision despite the fact that underneath it all they were pleased Scotland made it. I strongly defend Scotland’s decision. You try criticising the often grotesquely unjust American Justice system, and see where that gets you.
Barefoot contessa- Hello. I hope that the americans don’t take it out on Gary McKinnon.
They will, if they can get away with it. Their legal system is suspect to say the least, and we have been leaned on by use of an unfair extradition treaty.
I have no greater faith than you in the US legal system, but the original verdict was delivered by Scottish judges who exhaustively heard all of the evidence.
If your son or daughter had been murdered in a terrorist act you have the right to expect that governments will consider your feelings.
The claim is that this man was innocent but that claim has not been supported in a court of law. It may be as worthless as many other conspiracy theories and no court verdict should be spurned by a politician in the way that MacAskill chose to do.
MacAskill claimed to be acting from humanity, but I believe he acted from political motives. The families deserved much better. they have a right to expect better from a Scottish government than this tawdry populist gesture.
The US wants to get their hands on McKinnon not to bring him to justice but to interrogate him (using more effective methods than MI6 would be allowed to use).
Of course it would have been impossible for a rank amateur like McKinnon to have hacked into their defence systems. Some one, or some power, was using him as a front. The US knows that but desperately needs detailed information from him.
I thought the UK did not extradite persons to regimes who routinely employ torture especially not our own citizens. Let us hope some good comes out of the Megrahi incident in that Brown has grown enough balls to tell the US to fuck off.
Thanks. There was a loop involved ‘quids’ and ‘quo’s from yesterday that needed closing. Guido is notoriously difficult to provide references to, so apologies for not so doing.
The downside of your thinking is that, whilst providing plausible deniability, it shifts responsibility for the prisoner’s release from the Scottish government to that of the UK.
They already cut funding, shortly after the snp victory in the last scottish elections. Talk about toys out the pram.
Sherlock Hemlock looks like Mandy
Dear Nell
Alex Salmond is a snake oil salesman who has decieved the good people of Scotland, I told him in no uncertain terms that I and my friends in the EU would pull him in if he did not toe the line on this issue, for the benefit of the good people of the United Kingdom.
Money may have been involved I couldn’t possibly say as it a matter of the national importance and I am bound by the secrets act.
Alex Salmond the pretender to the crown is no match for my colossus intellect and will soon be in his proper place of opposition, so Labour can continue to make this country a fair and equal society to live in for all.
Yours Truly
Gordon Brown PM
The noble Lord the First Secretary and “dei facto” Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has left his “sick bed” to state categorically to the BBC that there was no trade deal with Libya in exchange for the release of Al- Mehgradi – so that’s clear then.
He also said that he had met and spoken to gaddafi’s son about the lockerbie bomber twice this year, as usual nothing is clear where Mandy is involved
So lord Mandelson leaves his sick bed to address his adoring public, while Gordon maintains radio silence doing his community service.
Don’t interrupt our great leader, he’s up to his eyes in training. It’s a seriously difficult and skilful job you know, sweeping the streets.
Actually he said it was offensive to suggest that there was a deal, he did not say that there was not a deal.
That’s the problem – nobody’s ‘suggesting’ there is a deal – that would be offensive – it leads to the thought – maybe there wasn’t!
Nope – we’re stating – there was a deal – no questions about it!
Note the double-entendres in the use of language. When Labour say ‘fair and equal’ you assume they’re talking about levelling up. But the reality is that we’re all fairly and equally fucked.
Nu-Labour. Talking shit in lieu of doing a competent job.
Are you a resurgent CHARLES, by any chance?!
Meaning JGBrown, not you jgm2.
Dear Barefootcontessa
As previously stated, their will be no tricks or spin or flash under my administration, just ”Gordon”.

I think the lady is right.
I think we’re safe. No grass-living insects, if you notice. Let us fervently hope that the last one is enjoying it’s freedom.
Promises, promises!
I see the Mirror are attempting an image makeover today for bob ‘aintbustinagut’.
Out trots the same old line – people don’t like me because I come from a tough background. Micha*el Mart*n used to say the same thing. Their egos simply cannot accept that they are disliked because they are failing and dishonest in their jobs. Noone gives a toss about their background.
He says if he had his life over again he would like to come back as a Serjeant Major in the Army.!
Sgt Major ‘aintbustingagut’ ??!!
I dont care where you come from so long as you can do the job and not lie about the failures you make. So your name is well earned Bob Aintworthashit
Oh dear me. Hurrumph!..
Well, I would still like to remind people that despite my absence and Bob being an obvious total plank I myself still remain a total hoon.
The only way that ‘erbert would make Sgt Maj. is if they brought in another 4998 classes of Warrant Officer. They’d have to commission every other hoon in the army to have ‘elicopters find his proper place in the panbash.
In my personal experience (with one or two minor exceptions) Sergeants Major possess the following ..
A sense of right from wrong ..
The ability to answer straight questions with straight answers ..
A sense of humour ..
A highly developed sense of leadership ..
A willingness to accept responsibility ..
A well honed sense of fair play ..
Personal integrity beyond reproach ..
These are qualities which Ainsworth and Co can only dream about .. they only qualities which they display is the consistent inability to recognise & deal with their own shortcomings .. and the overwhelming ability to try foisting the blame onto someone else ..
Perfect, Aintworthajot? perfection as Sgt Major Aintworthajot! I can see him in my mind’s eye striding the parade ground swinging his baton, head erect, big shiny round toed boots, moustache at the quiver, forelock shiny under his smart army cap, voice raised to bullying pitch……..”Stan’ a’ ease, you ri’ load o’ li’l arse ‘oles !
More probably the scruffy little private in the ill fitting uniform on latrine cleaning duties.
And he needs a haircut!
Privates On Parade.
Steady the BUFFS!
“quick march,…. you ‘orribl li’l man”!!!! as screamed by the new Sgt Major Bob a job Aintworthashit.
How does one do a makeover of a sack of shxx tied up in the middle with a length of twine?
They’ve already started, the terrible trinny and susannah have ordered him to have a hair makeover. Either side his plastered doon forelock he has had his hair close shaven, and that was just for starters.
I see Gaddaffi has just thanked Gordon Brown for the release of convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi.
OK O Silent One – get out of that one!
Brown will wait this one out – there’s always another disaster around the corner to put this one in the history books, and it may even be something he can spin on!
Dear Labour Voters
I have spoken on the phone to my dear friend President Obama and he tell’s me not to worry, everything will blow over and the operations to bring democracy to the middle east are still on track. He told me to tell Sarah, that Michelle was sending her some new recipes to try at home as well.
Yours Truly
Gordon Brown PM
Humble Pie, anyone?
“Smell this lovely bitter almond fairy cake, beloved. Mrs Omaha had it specially delivered by two large gentlemen in dark suits and sunglasses.”
Sarah Brown hasn’t got a hope in hell of ever emulating Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama always looks fresh and radiant. Sarah comes a very poor second.
The Obama woman is an ugly yo mama!
She’s the emperor in no clothes – all the journotards marvel at how “radiant” and “glamorous” and “stunning” she looks, even she has some of the poorest dress co-ordination that would make a student laugh and a huge arse.
shelling – I agree.
Didn’t Tony B’Liar appear on on of those silly American cartoon thingies, I think it was the Simpsons, so I imagine S.B. would not do that or Gordoom for that reason.
Anyone thinking that maybe mandy is telling the truth, should read this
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1207265/RICHARD-LITTLEJOHN-Screaming-Lord-Mandys-nauseating-flying-circus.html
There are some subtle hints that Littlejohn does not like Mandelson.
I think that Mandelson is careful not to lie, but he is extremely adept at concealing the truth; his words have to be read and interpreted with great care.
Careful not to lie???
HAHAHAHH
That bent fucker couldnt lie straight in bed
Ask his mortgage lenders
What mortgage lenders?
He’s paid off his £2.5million mortgage with that £450K he inherited from his mother.
Good old mandy, nulabs answer to Portillo – slippery, dishonest and utterly repugnant.
They would not have her on Sesame Street, its an American program so they will have no idea who Gordon is, let alone his fucking wife.
I wonder who the yanks thought Blair was ? They must have thought he was someone else.
Lucky there’s a family gay.
Off topic, but it is about another ones of Labour’s muppet projects:
Who saw that Channel 4 TV prog on how DWP are paying a firm to bully single mothers into work. Since Harman has made such a big thing about ‘rights’ etc I wonder if she is happy about such offensive behaviour by the DWP’s paid lackies? Or is such behaviour alright because it is in the name of New labour?
I saw the programme and at first agreed with your view but eventually by the end came around to a different view. The facilitator from A4e was realistic at the outset – yes she knocked the women down to re-build their confidence;interview skills and CV over a period of 6 weeks but he was evident that she really cared about the outcome and their personal circumstances and actually got one of the women to admit she had a alcohol problem and helped her to regain her confidence and get a job(you will no doubt sneer and say yes but as a shop assistant in “Poundland”)-as a result you could see all the women’s self-esteem,demeanour and appearance change over the course as each began to feel that they were not written off as “benefit scroungers” but people who through circumstance had been channelled into a situation which none of them were happy with but didn’t know how to get out of it
With social benefits payments exceeding the whole of the annual taxation raised each year something has to be done(surely you’re not suggesting that we allow people to continue to live on benefit). People on benefit with a few exceptions want to work(apart from a minority who are generally working the system) but circumstance;skill set; education;low self-esteem; reliance on alcohol and drugs all play their part.
It’s not being “nasty” as you say but providing the “support” and yes a “kick up the arse” in certain cases which was delivered with understanding and compassion -”tough love” is better than just continuing to write off a sizeable proportion of our population surely or do you want to keep paying your taxes(I am presuming you are in employment?)with nothing being done to try and reduce the benefits problem because believe me if that is the case in another 20 years there will be more people on benefit than working and those that are working will be paying higher taxation to fund it – whichever political party is in power
By all means help people to reject a slothful lifestyle . The trouble is that too many well meaning people do not realise that it is impossible to help those
who will not help themselves .
Alternatively a month or two without state benefits will work wonders .
…or simply make the crime rate go up as they steal to pay for their fags and dope?
That is a different issue and can only dealt with by changing the regime
inside our prisons .
I could see Sarah Brown being on Sesame Street.
She could play the part of ‘Big Bird’ with that fat arse.
There’s a lot to be said for a “bird with a fat arse”
Yes there is,

Or,
‘Little pickers wear big knickers’
even,

More like ‘Big Beard’. SO17 ;o)

How cruel is that. Poor Sarah, but perhaps in this case, my sympathy is more galling than your rudeness. We ladies are very sensitive about our legs, you know.
I wouldn’t say she’s got big legs,but she used to work at Heathrow kick starting jumbo jets.

mandy has issued a statement saying that:
I am proud to have been an nhs patient. I have been treated really well in hospital. And his spokesman said that he booked the operation to fit in with his government commitments.
Anyone else with experience of the nhs, who has been given an operation date to suit their timing, a private room and food hand delivered from fortnum and mason?
Don’t all shout at once…..
The only thing the NHS will do for most mere mortals is to phone an undertaker to shift your corpse out of their morgue after you’ve succumbed to MRSA.
That was the Soviet system.
Party members and politicos got special treatment, the rest of us get shafted.
If I won the lottery the very first thing I would do is to travel abroad to try and get decent medical attention.
Too right Moley – that was the Soviet system – now it’s Ours.
Aren’t we lucky?!
nell, I like you, you are a fine lady and we surprisingly agree on several issues, but please don’t just indiscriminately knock the nhs for the sake of it.
I am puzzled as to why you would do so considering your own experiences with health care. I take it you and your family use the nhs? perhaps you have used it extensively in which case your comments becoming even more puzzling.
I think we need to support the nhs and we should do so by ruthlessly identifying what is not working.
we could have the best health service in the world if we put our minds to it.
stop demolishing the reputation of the service the question is how it can be improved and how savings can be made from non essential departments and how they can be transferred to the front line of the service where the patients are.
by having more resources at the front end of health care instead of being drained away on overpaid non key management levels the individual needs of patients would be better served and their treatment more generously funded.
there is vast room for improvement but all I am saying is let’s try to make it a first class service before we seek to destroy it.
that is all I am saying nell.
I think it is the chavs and illegal immigrants and health tourists whom bring down the tone and overload the service, removing any comfort zones and plushness previously administered by the staff
There are far too many over paid chiefs ( not working ) and way too few under paid indians, doing all of the work in our hospitals.
Get rid of the majority of useless managers and we’d be half way to having a decent NHS.
hmm.. you are a confused dim bn p troll.
you are talking about immigration: it is the only subject you british nazi party trolls ever talk about.
the point I was making was on health.
DOH!
you silly nazi.
not you summerbreeze, that was obviously directed at 8.14pm troll.
That’s ok TAT.
Though I did wonder when I read the words ‘confused’ and ‘dim’.
cut and run eh moley you coward?
I am quite sure that the country would be glad to see the back of a selfish c’unt like you.
if we did not have the nhs the recession would last longer because any idiot knows the healthier a workforce the higher the profits it produces.
even the fucking slave plantation white supremacist fascists in america understood and accepted that principle you moron.
so why are you arguing against increased profitability moley?
are you one of those anti-capitalist nutters?
you are going on about the corrupt soviet system but you sound like a bit of a fucking communist yourself.
fuck off commie.
communists like you are not welcome here.
Don’t worry tat, he’s got to win the lottery first.
“-Any idiot knows the healthier a workforce the higher the profits it produces.”
So your point is that we are in recession due to the failure of the NHS to maximise the health of the work force?
You could well be right. It explains all those millions on Incapacity benefit.
I do not engage in debate with communists like you moley.
house rule.
Looks like you scored a hit there Moley.
Now suck his dick Badger.
Mrs Cameron seemed to manage it
Erm… actually they did me a knee op on the NHS to fit in with my work.

re Hatterslys we need to rehabilitate the state :I suggest he has a look at news article on girl with brain tumour set upon by two lads one aged 10, had deoderant sprayed in her face which they then tried to set fire to .
Which bit of the state does he see needs rehabilitating ?? 12 years of sugar loaded pap from labour , for this shambles , Its a fail roy , a massive waste of everyones cash and lives , an underclass fed on labours maligned popoganda that are enslaved into blighted lives due to wonk socialist mind bending spin .
Write an article for once that admits youve sent millions into a destitute era , tell the truth !!
Nonsense. We would all live in a people’s republic of hope, ambrosia, puppies and prosperity if we re-embraced Clause IV and the car unions.
Really ?, I will vote for you then
Don’t worry Ceasars Wife, they’ll be made to draw a poster as reparation for half killing the girl, before having to suffer the degradation of putting up with a free safari.

The only thing the SNP have displayed over the last few day is what a morally bankrupt and toe curlingly chippy independent nation they would prove to be, with a foreign policy based on knee jerk student anti-americanism along the lines of Tony Benn, teamed with their own brand of deluded racism (The Scots are historically known as a compassionate people? WTF?! Heres me thinking they were known as a people of pissed up Tenants swilling razor carrying ‘heed tha baws’)
OT but this in from Al-Beeb:
“The Libyan leader has thanked Gordon Brown for the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi.
Colonel Gadaffi said the UK prime minister had “encouraged” the Scottish Government to take what he called a “courageous” decision.
The Foreign Office has strongly denied claims the decision was linked to a trade deal between the UK and Libya.
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said the allegation was ‘wrong, completely implausible and… quite offensive’. ”
Hahahahaah good to see old Gadders make ‘em squirm….
‘wrong, completely implausible and… quite offensive.’
Bet he just got off the phone with McMental.
Mandelson is wrong, completely implausible and very offensive….
At least Ghaddafi was elected (sort of), eh, what d’ye say about that then, Mandy?
I’ve got a pain in the arse, and I can’t think of much else at the mo.
The FBI have come out of the woodwork to criticise the Scottish government about their decision to set Megrahi free! Could they by any chance have been involved in the original tragedy? Any trial in the States has been swept under the carpet, I wonder why? The only good thing that’s come out of it is the Scottish Justice Minister.
Don’t be silly dear, what a stupid conspiracy theory.
It wouldn’t/couldn’t be the FBI involvement in any case. Impossible.
Nothing is impossible.
Contessa has a point. 1) Nothing is impossible. 2) This is not even implausible. 3) the US has funded many terrorist and rogue states in futherance of US interests, including: the Taliban, Osama Bin Laden, Sadam Hussein; all of whom beocme the monster that cannot be controlled.
I was suprised the FBI spoke out today. WHY? The deed is already done so what are they trying to achieve?
Impossible! It was not possible for the FBI to be involved in the ‘Lockerbie bombing’ as it is called. Impossible.
I invented graphics fidelity.
I invented fidelity graphics.
I invented infidelity……
What if the Libyans were not behind the bombing?
http://www.thetrumpet.com/index.php?q=6438.4928.0.0
I read earlier that the Iranians and Palestinians should be looked at more closely. I have an open mind.
At the same time, if almegrahi had significant evidence to prove his innocence, as he has claimed today through the Times, then it begs the question why didn’t he produce it earlier?
And whatever the truth – it does not detract from the political shenanigans that are going on here over the prisoner release influenced by mandy, oil contracts negotiated by tony, and scotland being ‘persuaded’ into taking decisions for political reasons,most likely pressured by gordon.
Then it must have been someone else.
It’s a cess pit of oil intrigue! It might take 50 years to unravel, and then most of us will be dead. I agree with the Scots.
Must say I found myself wavering over this lockerbie bomber business but having read the FBI director’s letter to the SNP, my blood is boiling with anger at their callous political decision.
May the SNP disappear back into the swamp they came from.
It was Brown and Mandelson who cut the deal with Gaddafi: release of Lockerbie bomber in return for oil deal. The SNP were persuaded to go along with it for a few sweeteners but this is a deal between the UK govt and Libya.
The FBI know this and the fire will turn on Brown over the next few days. This will probably finish him off.
Brown is toast, and so is Mandelson. What a pair of totally incompetent wankers.
The missing jigsaw piece is: what were the SNP offered?
Really, let’s see! On that statement I can fully understand why the Scots would want to be separated. Siding with the FBI? Now there’s a novelty.
You obviously have NOT read his letter then.
I have, and for a supposedly well informed person, he writes like a sentimental politician, even claiming that Al Megrahi was convicted ‘by a jury’ and after ‘due process’.
The guy’s a politicised lawyer, and nothing else.
What a tosser.
Shame it wan’t Megrahi who did it.
And it’s an even greater pity that the FBI director was complicit in some of the most egregious trial tampering including the documented CIA payments to some of the prosecutions key witnesses in the trial.
As well as the 400 page document exposing the full extent of the mass of incriminating intelligence the CIA and FBI held on the actuall suspects that the appeal or a long overdue public Inquiry would shine a light on.
But please continue in your outrage. However misplaced.
Fox News is reporting in the US that Qaddafi was pictured hugging almagrahi as he praised his ‘friend’ gordon for the release.
Oh Dear!! I think gordon’s hope of following tony onto the lucrative US Speakers circuit in 2010 after his expected election defeat, has just been torpedoed.
The only speaking gig that Mctwat would get is playing Ronnie Barkers part in “Open All Hours”
Oh Chronic – I don’t think so – Ronnie Barker was a lovely man – I couldn’t watch gordon trying to emulate him. Sorry!
The only person I could imagine equating to gordon’s character is that Uriah Heep person from Dickens.
And if I get modded here I’ll know for sure that dickens is on Guido’s banned list.
More like *uckin Fagen me thinks…….
I can assure you it wasn’t a very big part.
YOU ARE RIGHT!
FUCKING BRILLIANT.
GORDON BOOED OFF THE US SPEAKERS CIRCUIT.
YAHOOOOOOOOOO
I think they might well be asking Antonia for the return of the one out of two disgraceful baubles she had the effrontery to collect nell.
Gadaffi is a c’unt who is using Megrahi to bolster flagging popularity at home.
But lets be clear, the FBI are playing it all Gordons way and trying to put all of the blame on the SNP despite the obvious connections between Tony’s deal in the desert and Mandelscums little chats with Gadaffi’s son.
You will be VERY lucky if you ever hear a peep about any of that on the US Network News. Instead it’s all about the FBI director and the US blaming MacAskill and the SNP not Brown.
258 – ‘But lets be clear, the FBI are playing it all Gordons way and trying to put all of the blame on the SNP despite the obvious connections between Tony’s deal in the desert and Mandelscums little chats with Gadaffi’s son’.
The Guardian have just raised an issue of Brown’s involvement in negotiations six weeks ago and despite all pleas to the contrary Brown is the Prime Minister of the UK. I don’t think the FBI are playing it Gordon’s way at all; they are encircling with fins poised above the surface and will close in upon Brown as the Guardian revelation picks up interest. Brown will be nailed here and in the U.S as far as culpability is concerned. IMO
Well, so far the US Networks don’t seem to be makinig the connection.
Brown is barely mentioned at all and the letter was addressed specifially to the SNP justice minster.
Whe I hear Obama or Hillary or anyone in the US administration calling out Brown by name I’ll be more inclined to believe you but Brown is in hiding and despite the UK Networks reporting the Mandelscum and Brown involvement they aren’t getting a whole lot of play in the US, yet.
If they do Brown will have to come out of hiding and we’ll see how well he can dance on the hot coals.
Does my bum look big in this?
Give me my dress back, you fat bitch!
yes, but that’s because you have a visible nappy line
Today Militwit on Afghanistan said ‘ the elections passed off more peacefully then expected — millions voted –etc etc’
Then he is caught saying ‘ we don’t know how many afghans came out and voted’ He says nothing NOTHING about the violence that ensued during the elections.
How this labour govt just lies and lies……….
And let’s not forget the four men that were brought home in coffins just the other day purportedly to help this election happen, and the two that have just died.
Where is the Game Plan? Where is the Exit Strategy? Why Are We There??!!
Only 1 in 10 are said to have voted in Helmand.
“Our guy” Karzai has made Law that any woman who refuses he husbands sexual advances can be starved to death or raped as well as saying women can only seek work, education or doctor’s appointments with their husband’s permission.
And now only fathers and grandfathers are granted custody of children under the law, according to the United Nations Development Fund for Women.
Thank goodness we got rid of the nasty Taliban and Democracy is flourishing.
The British soldiers clearly did not die in vain.
less than 10% of the population voted nell.
therefore the Afghanistan parliament has no mandate other than the mandate provided by the bombs, bullets and soldiers of the occupying american army.
you just could not make this shit up.
as there is no democratic mandate currently operating or likely to operate within a decade in Afghanistan we will have to immediately withdraw our troops from the country.
TROOPS OUT NOW
it is no longer a matter of choice.
the end.
Oh Tat! Less than 10% turnout. What are we sacrificing our brave lads for??!!
But until they’re out we have to keep campaigning for more and better protection and equipment.
Why don’t you come off benefits an enlist yourself, tat you slag?
Dear Mr Taylor I have always thought that people who talk about enlistment in the army when there is a war on – should also be prepared to enlist themselves. Are you?
As a matter of fact, I’m already dead, but thanks for the thought.
296 ajptaylor was a convert to communism as a young man and despite being in his early thirties at the beginning of WW2 did not engage in active service.
He became a lifelong member of the labour party. He achieved nothing worthwhile in his lifetime.
Sweetie – your namesake ajpt is everything those of us on here who lost family members to WW1 and WW2 despise.
Unless you are prepared to have the courage that ajpt lacked and gordon lacks, and enlist in the army to go to Afghanistan then don’t tell others that they should do it. You coward!!
Well thanks for that, I didn’t have a fucking clue who he was to be honest.
Now you do so RIP
Rip Into Pastry.
Extremely naive post by tat. There has never been democarcy in Afghanistan and I think there never will be. But that is quite beside the point as to why British troops are there.
USA and their poodle partners the UK wanted an election,…at any price. They WILL have a result, democracy or not, at any price!
extremely boring, patronising, oafish post by phil. atleast you are consistent you c’unt.
got your tin hat on phil?
got your tin hat on ajp taylor?
no?
then shut the fuck up motherfuckers.
what a pair of arseholes.
10%? More of a mandate than our government. Oh, which is doing stirling work for young families.
The Guardian is saying tonight that gordon discussed, with the Libyan leader, detailed conditions for almegrahi’s release, 6 WEEKS AGO.
No wonder he’s hiding in his scottish bunker.
I guess there’s more to come.

Thank you Moley . I will find out how to do links eventually.
Nell here we go. The long, wide address bar at the top of your screen where it says http://order-order….whatever the website is. OK?
Put the arrow from your mouse anywhere over that address bar-when the arrow is within that bar space area- click the right hand button on the mouse. Ok? You will get a boxed menu come up with a few options, OK?
Click ‘COPY’ with the LEFT HAND mouse button. OK?
Next time you want to put that website address or link to it in the ‘Leave a Comment’ box put the arrow curser within the comment box and click the right hand mouse button which brings up that option menu again and click ‘COPY’ OK? Then you will see that address of the website appear in the comment box. I hope it helps.
Sorry nell you click ‘PASTE’ from the menu when you want to transfer what you did COPY to the COMMENT BOX. Repeat – you use the menu box to select copy and then paste using the right and left mouse buttons.
304 Well Thanks Chaim I’ve written that down and will try it next time.
But the internet to me is a bit like a car engine. Something I don’t quite understand. And I just hope I never have to change a puncture!!
Nell: you “change” a tyre or mend/fix as puncture. Just trying to be helpful.
Hi Nell. Americans may boycott scotts products like tourism, whiskey and scotts eggs but I’d prefer any ill-feeling to be directed towards the politicians rather than scottish salmon and ordinary people in Scotland land who just pay down their taxes and try to keep family going. We think your politicians are crap and socialist communists but the people outside Glasgow are nice enough
What so the SNP stole the scottish parliament? They were voted in, by a mjority of the scots. They put them in charge so no point moaning about the rest of the worlds point of view on them now.
Same as the rest of the UK voted for Gordo as PM… ooops wait we didn’t did we. He’s never put his job to the public vote. Still, while he’s on holiday we get an elected stand in don’t we?…..oooops nope again. Mandlehoon isn’t even a fucking MP the unelected twice disgraced corrupt lying fucker….
Well I didn’t vote for them so don’t blame me on illegal wars and EU interference in our daily lives. Give me the name of any political party in government who actually have a majority mandate from its people spider.
Spider, you’re spinning a good comment there.
As an England based Irishman I have found Glaswegians to be the entire opposite of their stereo-typical brushing,a fine trusting people with decent enough lives who have among them super-charged criminals who have wrecked their Country not only Glasgow,I have seen many cities in the world through work and Glasgow is not as dangerous as it seems.A lot of its problems stems from its over reliance on social housing,especially tower blocks.Trade unionism has made many of them bolshy and workshy but Liverpool,Sunderland,Newcastle,Birmingham,Manchester and Stockton on tees are no different.All were sold a false dawn of the worker controlling production so the dissapointment is immense and the hurt shows.The politics of envy has an awful hangover!
Here is another link to a Telegraph article which not only implicates Teflon Tony in the negotiations, but further blames him for orchestrating the cocked up devolution settlement which has resulted in Edinburgh and London politicians spending most of their time biting each other’s throats.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/alancochrane/6073739/Lockerbie-bomber-Blame-Megrahis-release-on-London-not-Edinburgh.html
The American view;
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/23/world/africa/23lockerbie.html?_r=1&ref=global-home
That’s a good article. Sorting out political shit from shite is difficult, and the political machinations here are mind boggling. Newlabour have a lot to lose if Scotland lurches further toward the SNP. Labour, after all have been kept in power for years and years by the labour vote in Scotland, and a large percentage of the UK ministers are Scots. Newlabour, I imagine, think that they are doing damage to the SNP when, in fact, they are shooting themselves in the foot. I hope the gorgon and his incompetent party lose out big time on this one, and Alex Salmond and Mckaskill come up smelling of roses. Personally, not so interested in the American view, they’re always grandstanding to satiate their political public.
..plus of course there’s the network’s general reluctance to feature characters on primetime childrens’ TV that look like 230lb crack addicts. Especially the calves, Sarah.
Nuth’ns ma’ fult ye un’stan’
Hint for Gordon: the 1988 Pan Am tragedy – a problem that was making its way towards America.
It started in Germany!
Es war nicht mir…
So, the Rothschilds operating from a holiday villa in Corfu control the British government and probably the official oposition too.
frightening.
Just like the bookies.They know when to lay off their bets.
America is not amused. The Director of the FBI has written a scathing letter to the families of the victims of the Locherbie bombing saying almegrahi’s release ‘makes a mockery of justice and gives comfort to terrorists around the world’
gordon’s govt is being shelled by the double whammy of afghanistan scandals and the release of almegrahi and still he cowers in his kirkcaldy bunker!
A man of courage indeed!!
I’ve just seen Gadhaffi’s son and Mandy on Sky giving totally different explanations on the issue. Only one of them comes across as genuine in his account and you all know it’s not Mandy. Clearly, the Libyans have been pressing for the release of this bloke for a long, long, long, long time and would not accept any UK oil deal without his repatriation thrown in. Gordon’s crap appeal to Libya to keep it low key was an attempt to get away with this arrangement with nil publicity. How it’s blown up in his face! As we all know, anything Gordon sticks his moniker to ends in abject failure. Be interesting to see how Mandy spins it once he’s got a coherent story together (which he hasn’t so far).
who do you belive mandy or gads son ?
Anyone but but anyone in our Government
Mandy’s a hopeless liar (check out the Sky footage of the phony little fucker).
Gadhaffi’s son on the other hand shows real conviction. The release has fuck-all to do with compassion – Come on! From this government??? And everything to do with trying to find a replacement supply for all the gas and oil wealth that’s been squandered by whichever government over the last 30 years on immigrants, back-handers, “management consultants”, MPs themselves, Town Hall Nazis, computer databases, CCTV cameras, wheel-clampers, social workers – and whatever else you can think of that does the bulk of us FUCK ALL but harm.
352. Well syed. Seconeded
Is that why the gorgon’s been hiding in his holiday cupboard biting his nails since end July?
I suspect it may be a few years before we get to find out the full truth of all this.
Maybe it’s as well that all this came to a head while Gordoom was on holiday. Who knows what sort of a mess he might have landed us in if he’d tried to micro-manage it on his own.
Maybe the Dark Lord planned it so; suspect the hospital stay was not quite part of the plan.
It’s a complex one. The Vincennes/Iranian airliner incident, Lockerbie, a man convicted of a crime he almost certainly didn’t commit, oil deals, high politics. Quite a mixture. Perhaps Britain was an innocent caught up in a feud between others – colateral damage. Maybe that gave us a bit of much-needed moral high ground. America does not seem to have behaved totally honourably throughout.
There’s bad feeling between America and Iran. It’s simmering. If anything kicks off, let’s hope we have the good sense to stay out of it.
lad its easy if mandy speaks , think the oppsite
That’s a pretty good rule of thumb, Freddie.
Another one is: Mandy’s only lying if his lips are moving.
“Never believe anything until it is officially denied” Never fails
Forced to resign twice in disgrace – I would be surprised if you got the correct answer of you asked him the time of day.
Good comment on the whole but America behaving honourably throughout ????
They KNOW Megrahi did not do it.
They were the ones paying the key prosecution witnesses Millions.
They are posturing and can hardly claim to have clean hands.
ExxonMobil are very busy drilling in Libya so lets not pretend the US are so very outraged about Libya or Gadaffi.
the usa have the proof , they just dont want to share it , its a week in the news
Erm – no. I did say America did not behave honourably.
It’s still a mess, though. Bet there’s a few more episodes to the saga yet to come.
Doh!!! quite right engineer my own fololish misreading of you post mate.
And I do think the FBI’s fury is a harbinger of far murkier waters yet coming as it does hard on the heels of Megrahi saying he will reveal key documents that will exonerate him.
If Brown finds himself in the crosshairs when he emeerges from hiding there may be a great deal of things revealed on both sides of the Atlantic as they all start fighting for the moral low ground.
You can be sure some politician somewhere is shit scared of the truth, the whole truth coming out. And it always comes back to the oil!
401 Ms Barefoot-I never forget Dr David Kelly which was also about oil ultimately also. One disgusting episode in our history after another since 1997
I hear Mandelson said it was ‘implausible’ to suggest that an oil deal between Libya and Britain, and the al-Megrahi release are linked
Implausible doesn’t mean untrue
Mandelson has resigned ministerial positions twice before, many fuel his persona as some sort of political wizard but he is an intellectual lightweight. It was only a matter of time before he cocked up again
I suggest this has nothing to do with running the country, helping hard-working families, or the SNP, more to do with Gordon and Mandy’s future employment prospects
Mandy used to be a convincing and inspiring liar (I am going back a while, though). Lately, however, it turns out he’s just an out-and-out con-artist! Now who would have thought it??
I mean – he a peer of the realm and all that; a noble Lord.
Don’t be cruel to our poor old mandelscum, after all he’s only just got out of his hospital bed. Strange coincidence that he had his op during the week of the release. The plot sickens!
Agreed, far from being a “smooth operator” he is patentently incompetent having been caught out twice before leading to double resignations. Its only a matter of time till the next and final Gaff three strikes and you out !!!
ten wickets , we can do it , and gordon is a Huhne
Yes you can!!!! And yes he is!
Tomorrow’s going to be a good day for English Cricket!

Very satisfying couple of days. Tomorrow should be interesting; the Convicts won’t give up easily, so patience, patience.
will be over by tea lad
Yup. Never write off the Aussies. They’re crafty fuckers who never give up. This is shaping up to be a real classic series like we haven’t seen in decades.
since 2005 you mean ?
I reckon 2005 was better – both sides were slightly better then, and both at the top of their games. The quality of cricket played was reckoned by people who know a lot more than me to be about the best in living memory. That made the win very, very special.
That said, this series has been good. Those who say Test cricket is dying need to watch the videos – the crowds have been royally entertained, and so have those of us following by radio and television.
every series is its own lad , when we win this will be better and trotter batted well and swansong , one more push , ten more wickets
Sorry Eng, but this is better than 2005 – Freddie psyched the Aussies out good and proper by announcing his retirement after Test 3, then sitting out Test 4 the Aussies thought they had the job done.
Much better to beat the Aussies up for a couple of days, than to win by a whisker
The 2005 series was marked by high drama and great personal performances. It was the best series i’ve seen,and i’ve been watching test cricket since the early 60′s. This series has seen both sides in a time of transition,but you can only play in your era,and beat whatever opposition is put in front of you. freddie may not yet have had a decisive influence on the stats,but like all great men he inspires his team mates and the crowd simply by his presence. May he never have to buy his own drinks again.
Yawn.
Bo-ring cricket.
A Life Get.
Fuck off Anonymous. Get a name.
I know it’s only harmless fun, but how I agree with anon, this is a political blog, don’t we get enough male oriented cricket on tv and radio as it is!? Let’s have a splurge of….darts…..athletics…….swimming….cycling……snooker…… badminton……,etc, any sport but the one that England IMAGINES it’s a world beater at! (excuse my grammar).
at least gordon can say it stared in the usa or scotland
come on lads get behind us
Fucking morons.
Fucking ‘intellectuals’.
No wonder the Mighty Boro got relegated. Shit
Yeah but they’ll be back in the prem next season.
I went to school in Birmingham in the 1980′s. Birmingham FC had a player called Tony Van Mierlo at the time. One of the kids in my class had his crowning moment in his young life by starting a ‘Tony, Tony Van Mierlo’ chant top the tune of the Can-can at St Andrews.
I remember him coming into class, his heart bursting with pride. That wuz me who started that. That wuz my chant that wuz. This was around the same time he used to spend the entire fucking day wandering around school with a ‘wet penny’ stain in his crotch.
The sad fuck.

And a friend of bob’aintbustinagut’, who has just lost his son in the conflict, has lambasted the Defence Secretary for his lack of compassion.

(clatterclatterclatter) SQUWE-EEEERRKK! (ding!) ULLO-DARLIN! (flutter) GIVEUSAABIT!
no rebuttal so far , head od CIA who criticising SNP worked on lockerbie case .
bitunfortunate peter mandelson could only say he was offended .
Snp to convene scottish parliment on monday to discuss matter so that should be fun .
Eu contributuions to increase next year by 60% (in part due to loss of rebate that Labour weeded out on)), new report blames labour for armed forces troubles in Afghanistan and over 60% now want our troops out , public dont really trust labour .
Ruin not that chipper I hear , cant wait if he tells us all some more lies
Suits the kilted nasties to convene in their gang hut and get all over-excited giving it ‘who are you to tell us how to run our country and our legal system’.
The message will be working at two levels. They’ll be telling the yanks on behalf of the UK. And they’ll be telling the UK on behalf of their own lemon-sucking, belligerent, pissed-up, wife-beating ‘whas like uzzz’ voters.
However, since I believe the whole Libya thing was a complete stitch-up and that this Megrahi (sp) bloke is no more guilty than my 9 year old son then UK Labour and its previous comedy administration in Scotland has only itself to blame.
And Cameron has already positioned itself as Obama’s best friend in all this.
So, to summarize. The SNP has stitched up the Labour government with the yanks. Obama won’t be returning the Maximum Fuckwit’s calls unless it is to give him a monumental ear-bleed.
Blair and Mandelson might eventually be rewarded by BP with a seat on the board or a fat ‘consultancy’ retainer for their US and EU connections. Brown will be rewarded with fuck all. At least one of ‘em is getting what he’s worth.
Brown, in an effort to remain in power, has alienated the banks, the yanks, the Labour party, the Labour voters and practically the entire electorate.
He’s fucked the economy, the education system, the constitution and practically everything else he’s turned his oft-reported monumental intellect to.
He’s an idiot savant without the ‘savant’. He’s a idiot savant in the same sense that John Prescott is bulemic. Brown forgets he’s supposed to be a savant and Prescott forgets he’s supposed to ‘purge’.
What would happen if neither the tories or labour were elected at the next GE though?
The Liberals would hold the balance of power. They would suck through their teeth long and hard and then form a coalition government with Labour.
Gordon Brown would remain PM. Labour would continue to print 200bn quid a year and run 200bn quid deficits but Nick Clegg and a few other Lib Dem MPs would be given Ministerial slaries in charge of fuck-all of significance and the country would continue its Mugabe-esque spiral into utter fucking insanity.
Next question.
What if the Liberals (Presumably Demo’s) didn’t get enough votes either’ I’m pro ukip here btw?
I’m trying to work with likely outcomes here Chaim. UKIP is no more likely to hold the balance of power in the next election than the flying spaghetti monster.
“Man will walk on the moon before that happens” G’night.
You’re a bit if a know it all, aintcha jgm2?
A bit of a pub bore I’d say.
May I comment on my remark about man walking on the moon; My mum used to say it was a common phrase used long before 1969 to dispel an impossible idea. Nothing is impossible and I’m voting UKIP and if enough people did we could return to politics by the people for the people and like wise taxation. UKIP won’t be of any influence on future politics if we don’t vote for them and man wouldn’t have been to the moon if man hadn’t collectively made it happen. I’d vote for cameroon if the number one priority was a return to sovereign uk based govnance no strings attached by a foreign off shore power whenther it be europe, usa or any other
Suspected illegal immigrants held
Source: Yahoo News UK 23/08/09: – “A coach load of suspected illegal immigrants are being held after they were unwittingly diverted to a Home Office detention centre.”
Comment: There must be an election coming up. The normal procedure is to bus them to the nearest benefit office and arrange for a translator to complete the paperwork. Look on this as an early signal for an Autumn General Election.
To clarify: we know that Nu Labour was bussing illegal immigrants in by the shedload from Romania with the full knowledge that none of these gypsies/beggars had any passports/visas. Funny how things can turn around when an Election looms, isn’t it?
…and in the sunday times…evidence of benefit fraud on a massive scale. Kids being smuggled into this country by people traffickers and used to claim benefits.
“Tandarei, a small town in eastern Romania, is one of the bases of the suspected traffickers. About 100 imposing new homes conservatively valued at £20m have been built over the past five years. British police believe they have been partly funded by benefit fraud.”
How nice to see our taxes being put to such good use, helping to build show homes for romanian villains.
Thats a dam sight more for 20mil than the Dept for Intl Devt would achieve (9bill – where does that go?).

Sunday Times sticks the boot into snotty while he hides away in his holiday bunker.
A DEVASTATING official report suppressed by ministers has revealed that soldiers’ lives are being put at risk by “endemic” failures at the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The secret dossier blames “political fudge” and Whitehall incompetence for the plight of soldiers in Afghanistan who are provided with inadequate frontline kit.
The 296-page report, leaked to The Sunday Times, claims the scale of MoD bungling is so severe it “is harming our ability . . . to conduct difficult current operations”.
The publication of the document will be a severe embarrassment for Gordon Brown, who has insisted that the armed forces always receive the equipment they need.
Instead of “severe embarassment to” I would prefer “indictment of”

The American News Networks (CBS News anyway) DID lead with the backdealing of Mandy, Brown, Prince Andrew and even the Queen got a mention.
It was most amusing seeing Mandelscum on the American News being spoken of in less than approving tones though they did precisley the same thing with Prince Andrew and promptly listed all his meetings with Gadaffi’s son leaving too little doubt they thought this was all about money.
Seems the story has indeed moved on a bit and Brown is going to have some explaining to do to his American chums.
No doubt he’ll just parrot that it was all a Scottish decision, nothing to do with him, entirely proper, no pressure for a release, blah blah fucking blah.
He is a lying c’unt after all.
Of course the irony is both the US and the UK are delighted to be greedily sucking on Libya’s Oil again & they will keep doing so even as this fake war of outrage goes on.
UK Lockerbie victims relatives will look on at this absurd circus with contempt.
Megrahi DID NOT DO IT. They want answers not deals.
Public Inquiry NOW.
A public inquiry into Megrahi’s will achieve no more than the public inquiry into Blair’s decision to go to war in Iraq or te inquest on Dr Kelly.
The evidence has been manufactured and presented. No record will exist of the orders which lead to its manufacture. No witnesses will be called or can possibly be made to attest to its manufacture. All concerned will claim that with the evidence they were presented then this Megrahi bloke is as guilty as sin. If the evidence turns out to be false/fake/unreliable then the panel of judges will claim that’s not their fault. The government will claim they are outraged and had no idea and the yanks will jail some junior grade staffer for three years as being the one who made it all up, golly we have no idea under what motive – he was acting alone and is soley responsible.
Thing is jgm2 this was not the most competent of operations and they left an awful lot of loose threads hanging around. There’s a reason the trial was considered farcical by so many who followed it.
Even a cursory examination will turn up some extremely embarrassing facts.
This is a nice example
http://i-p-o.org/IPO-nr-Lockerbie-5Oct07.htm
IMHO Megrahi derserved his warm welcome when he returned home to Libya. After all he served a c8year prison sentence, he’s now (apparently) dying of cancer, and if that’s all he gets for taking the can it’s not a great deal is it?

Labour’s summer truce crumbles as Darling attacks PM
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1208427/Labours-summer-truce-crumbles-Darling-attacks-PM.html
Here we go the serious infighting has started. McFuckwit won’t make it beyond the Party conference season, a caretaker PM will take over and because of public outrage will have to call an immeadiate election. Labour will crash and burn so badly they will be out of office for a hundred years. Brown and his cohorts will be carted off to the Hague and shot and the junior ministers will be hung from London Bridge using their own giblets. The remaining Labour MP’s will be pubilcly whipped and humiliated.
then the alarm clock went off……but I can dream at least.
It is Brown’s ordained fate to be responsible for destroying the Labour Party as a credible political party in the UK for a generation AND what is even sweeter it is Labour’s fate to be unable to do anything about it even though they know that it is correct! Kismet !
On the contrary it is no dream but Brown’s nightmare coming to pass as predicted.
The plotters did not go away after the coup that wasn’t. They merely went along with the Labour backbenchers who decided to give him a few more months to se if he could turn it around.
The polls are still instant death for most Labour MPs come the election, Afghanistan is a disaster and now the stench emerging from the Lockerbie deals is overwhelming.
Brown hasn’t exactly turned it around has he ?
Milliboy and Johnson will indeed be canvassing opinion and they will also be looking for a stalking horse to kickstart a Leadership challenge.
A desperate last gasp move to have anyone but Brown leading Labour into the Election is gathering speed just as the Labour Conference approaches and the plotting can truly begin in earnest.
May I suggest as a punishment MacAskill, Milliband and Brown should serve the remainder of his sentence because of the odium that they have heaped upon this country by their actions or inactions, as the case may be.
However, as we have seen, the Socialists are not in the business of doing justice and/or law and order. When there is a crime committed by one of them, they order the police to ignore it. That really is perverting the course of justice.
What’s Macaskill got to do with Millibrand and the gorgon?
It is in fact extremely common for Leaders under extreme pressure to be subjected to a first tentative “stab” like the coup that wasn’t.
Just to see how much blood is drawn and how many and who will line up to bury Caeser and who is still praising him.
Before the Heseltine challenge finished Maggie off there was stalking horse challenge by backbencher Anthony Meyer.
Before Duncan Smith was forced to hurriedly leave the stage he faced a party conference in Blackpool seething with talk of plotters gunning for the leader. He even had Chief whip David McLean summon John Maples and four other suspects for “career development interviews”.
Before Tony Blair finally had to admit defeat to Brown and leave there was the resignation of a junior minister and seven government aides who had urged Blair to resign.
The coup that wasn’t can easily be seen as sniffing the waters for blood before going in for the kill as the Conference looms.
Polticians have a habit of panicking and developing a ruthless streak when it becomes crystal clear their own seat and job is going to get obliterated by an hugely unpopular Leader.
The conversation involving Darling was a private one with another Labour MP who leaked it. Given the lack of morality or ethics involved in leaking a private conversation, it cannot be relied on to be truthful either.
This looks more like an attempt to damage Darling, but when ferrets start fighting in a sack neither they nor anyone else no who is biting whom, nor why.
The Labour conference will be the best entertainment in years.
I see General Sir Richard Dannatt’s has become so annoyed with the attempts of Bob ‘aintbustinagut’ and his teams attempts to smear him, he has now released his expenses claims to the DT this morning to prove that they are modest and reasonable.
The expenses show that he claimed £19291 in the period 1st April 2005 to 31 March 2009 – all of it for official entertainment which is part of his job.
The DT helpfully provides the expenses claims for bob’aintbustinagut’ for the period 2005-2008 ( 1 year less than the General’s) = £394,306.00
And expenses claimed by brainless Kevan 2005 – 2008 = £454,324.00.
I said, when guido outed kevan for trying to smear the general that this would come back and bite them, now it has. Good.
“Bungling Bob” has also got some local difficulties in his Coventry NE Constituency and is being accused of not contacting a friend of 20 years whose son also known personally to Bob it seems, was killed last week in Helmand – that is until it was brought to his “officials” attention who then drafted a letter for Bob’s signature which was sent “Recorded Delivery” to arrive yesterday before publication by the Mail. The excuse given being that Bob recognised the name but was checking to see if it was his friends’ son – yeh right Bob -we belive you – you total Hoon !!

Yeh – and you know what – they’ll all be blunt or made of bendy rubber
Now I see the MoD is in total chaos this morning not just because of the above but also because the Gray Report which they were attempting to suppress has been leaked to the Sunday Telegraph.
The report says that the MoD’s catastrophic procurement failures are putting soldiers lives at risk and harming our ability to carry out operations.
It also says, that because they buy equipment that cannot be used, or is not suitable for the job, they are £35billion over budget and 5 years behind schedule.
The report concludes ‘the problems and sums of money have almost lost their power to shock ,so endemic is the issue’
The report was commissioned by John Hutton when he was Defence Minister – no wonder he jumped ship so suddenly. Incompetent cowards!

The government has already lost the Afghan War – it’s been lost in the fields and lanes of “Middle England”.
As an aside the government has also refused the request to re-inforce our troops with the 2,000 men requested due to “financial concerns” and in addition they are so short of troops that can be rotated into and out of theatre that training is being shortened.
It’s finished – Gordon – you’ve lost the battle. Withdraw all troops from Helmand now

The Lockerbie Bomber was released to draw attention away from the report of endemic failures at the MOD.
Sunday Times
“The problems, and the sums of money involved, have almost lost their power to shock, so endemic is the issue,” writes Gray. “It seems as though military equipment acquisition is vying in a technological race with the delivery of civilian software systems for the title of ‘world’s most delayed technical solution’. Even British trains cannot compete.”

Poor Beckett. It must be really hard to make ends meet on the lavish salary we give her. £11,000 for hanging baaskets and pots really is beyond the pale.
She claims to pay for donations and gifts, which run into thousands. This is why her expenses claim is so hefty. She doesn’t pay – we do!
If she’s so hung up about her husband being given the heave-ho when relatives are no linger allowed to be employed, let him work for nothing. At 82 he shouldn’t be working anyway.
It’s about time they stepped into the real world – you know – they one the rest of us live in. I’m tired of paying for their affluent lifestyles.
If the job is paying so little, just leave, Margaret. I won’t miss you at all.
I’ve seen this before. It can be expensive to treat if immediate, simple action is not taken. Just remove the salt-lick from the stable and allow only short periods of access to it thereafter until equilibrium is achieved and the animal functions normally.
Donations and gifts running into thousands equates to electoral bribes at the taxpayers expense.
This needs investigating.
I thought she was retiring at the election anyway ? And then as an ex-Foreign Secretary she’ll get a “life peerage” plus a few dirctorships;quangoes and a consultancy position and “lifetime membership” with “The Caravan Club” no doubt. Yes – it’s tough being a MP

Notwithstanding the fact that Gordon Brown and the Deputy Prime Minister are lying low have you noticed that now that the Megrahi thing has gone galactically tits up, a compliant BBC are suddenly referring to the SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT as responsible for the decision.
Now, seriously, when have you ever heard of the Scottish Parliament being called a government?
‘It was’nae me. It was’nae me!
On the BBC news channel they referred to megrahi as the “alleged” lockerbie bomber. since when was it in a BBC newsreader’s job description to question the decision of a court of law?
Mandy probably rang them from his hospital bed.
After almost 13 years of Labour being in power the BBC is a part of the Labour Spin Machine – mainly has a result of “senior editors” being put in place who favour Labour
According to the Sunday Times – Helen Boaden has also issued a long memo to news editors regarding the use of John Reid’s statement made in 2006 regarding British Troops not firing a shot in Afghanistan.It is to be avoided presumably as not being helpful and any criticism of the government’s handling of the war is unpatriotic
Gavin Estler in his Newsnight prog last week was very rude and forthright to MacKaskill, but sweet as pie to the American interviewed on the same subject. Suppose he’s catching the Paxman syndrome, scatter ye bullets where ye will.
It really is like 1984. Memos being recieved by the Beebs winston smiths to re-write history. Now, presumably, Reid’s double plus ungood statement has been “rectified” in the BBC archives?
The British public were sold a “crock of shit” regarding the original mission to Afghanistan from the outset and this government is actively trying to re-write the history helped as ever by a supine BBC
26 Jan 2006 Statement to the House by Secrtary of State for Defence Dr John Reid
1 Troops are being sent to southern Afghanistan to fight terrorism and help counter the drugs trade,
2 It Will cost around £1 billion over a five-year period, although the deployment would be for two years i.e. Jan 2008
3. British forces would peak briefly at about 5,700 before reducing to 4,700.

Just read this diary from the frontline in Helmand.
He talks about 160 casualties taken this month (excluding those who have died) and more than the whole of last year!
He also talks about the SA80 rifly being useless and seizing upafter firing one round. More equipment inadequacies.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/aug/23/afghanistan-soldier-diary-helmand-taliban
The British soldier has been well trained and disciplined and will have no problem in stripping down his rifle, cleaning and reassembling it in the teeth of advancing hordes of savages intent on destruction of the empire, indeed such displays of cool behaviour frequently undermine the confidence of the fuzzy wuzzies. There is no need to overly concern yourselves with the quality of the equipment.; Tommy will manage as he always has.
Carry On Up The Khyber, what ?
I’ve never used an SA80 in desert conditions so can’t really comment on its use in Aghanistan but the times i have used it I have always found it to be very accurate, reliable and easy to strip down.
What are the other side using?
Stones
Remotley Detonated Downs Syndrome Drones
There Was A major Fault With The SA80 When It Was First Introduced And They All Had To Be Returned To Be Upgraded ! Sounds About Right !
552 yea to Germany wasn’t it?
Yeh fucking Krauts Gettin Their Own Back ! It Also Failed Miserably In Oman Years Ago But Still We Send Them In To War With Shit Kit !
I did hear a rumour that Special Forces units refuse to use the SA80, preferring other, more reliable weapons. Any truth in this?
It Seems The M16 Is The Prefered Weapon of choice of the SAS but they have recently changed to the Diemaco L119A1 5.56mm it is also said that they have access to every weapon they require for what ever country they are sent It is roumoured that any weapons they require they steal from other army units so there is no red tape or paper trail that can be leaked by whitehall ! Brilliant ! Even they dont trust their own government !
What are the other side using? Gordon Brown.
The Other Side’s Prefered Explosives Are The Fertilizer Bombs , Made From , Wait For It ! The Fertilizer Supplyed To Afghan Farmers By ! Guess Who ? Our Very Own Dept For International Developement ! Well Done Again Lie-Bore !
I thought they were using anti-tank shells supplied by us to fight off the Russians with. (Detonated by wire or mobile phones)?
There Was A Side Blog On Here The Other Night Which Was A Newspaper Story About The D.I.D Giving The Afghan Farmers The Same Fertilizer That The IRA Used To Blow Us Up With ! At Least It’s Better To Stick With What Your Used To !
It is totally unbelievable that our troops are so vulnerable to attacks from low tech, low explosive devices like these. It beggars belief in all honesty. I can’t do the situation justice in mere words. I just get angrier and angier….
I watched a Channel 4 programme – a couple weeks or so back – the Battle for Garmsir – our lads were ostensibly acting as trainers for Afghan National Police – and ended up fighting for their collective lives with hand to hand fighting at times and calling down air strikes almost on themselves as the insurgents were so close The Taleban fighters NEVER give up and no matter how many of the ********s you zap they keep coming back. AND of course our lads also got hit by IEDs on route to Garmsir. This war is bloody;unwinnable and pointless with our troops totally under-resourced both in men,equipment and heliocopters but as Ainsworth says -” I realise that things are difficult in Afghanistan” That’s alright then Bob – if you KNOW !!

I thought we were best placed? I’m confused?! And has Andrew Marr gone on holiday with Gordon?
Sure -Andrew and “Gord” are big mates – they go back a long way but would YOU want to go on holiday with Gordon especially when it’s “pissing it down” in Scotland ??
The Only Good Thing About It Is The EU Wont Touch Us With A shitty Stick With The Debts We’ve Got !
Don’t believe it!
these stats are on the o.n.s web site- i have mentioned them before on here and old holborn…….ALLLLLLLLLLLL the govt. figs are MANIPULATED to keep the Brown lunatic agenda going.
My local job centre told me that there are 400 people applying for every job in s.e essex!!!!!!!!!
There are jobs for qualified people……..yet it is almost impossible for the unemployed to go to uni to get the required degree!!!!!!!!!
therefore the uk keeps on bringing in foriegners and the uk will eventually have no skilled people other than those from wealthy backgrounds!
you really have to love labour-the party of the people-striving for equality and working for the common man………..
i hope they all get cancer.
Prostate Cancer? One Down 648 To Go Keep Hoping !
I guess that if they include Glasgow and Liverpool then the unemployment figure would be that high, yes. I don’t understand, with all the time on their hands, why people don’t do and make things? In olden times people were given strips of land to tend and make use of growing food or cotton. Would one not agree with me when I suggest that every unemployed person with the time to spare is allocated a stretch of highway or footway to keep: Instant potential for revenue, maintainance and pride in one’s work, plenty of scope for innovation and safety product introductions, etc. Keepers of the highway would face the threat of fines or imprisonment if anybody is killed or injureized, etc
Everybody knows that The Muppet Show was just a warm up and template for Gay Pride marches and faggots doing makeover shows on the TV, so she just took things to a new level, an’ shit.
Secret report reveals Labour is failing troops. Fucking useless criminally incompetent bastards.
Secret report reveals Labour is failing troops. Fucking useless criminally incompetent bastards of the lowest order.
Now now. We all know that Labour is the only party tough on terrorism, unless they happen to linked to North African dictatorships swimming with oil and looking for detente.
The automatic broadcasting station plays nothing but light music and military dirges! They’re disorientated and squabbling amongst themselves, chaps – but they’re not finished yet! Don’t fire until you can hear the whining of their office shredders and see the incinerator smoke rising from the roofs of the ministries! You’ll know it’s all over for them then…
‘Early’ election is it?
‘New’ Labour. When will we ever learn?
Election 2010 will be interesting. “Dimbledore” will no doubt be saying – “Well – with only a swing of 15% to the Conservatives and a projected majority of 124 David Cameron will be pretty dis-appointed at not making the expected breakthrough of 180 seat majority. So Nick – Where in your opinion did it all go wrong for the Tories ??
ukip
Ooohhh! . . . . that was a good one!
But seriously, – I’m still in charge
O/T but it is Sunday after all.
Trying to get a bit of info on the non appearance of the Marr show I happened across an earlier Guido post on Marr. His book ‘A History of Modern Britain’ was pulled in March, because, as Guido suggested, someone still alive was threatening to sue.
Any update on this?
Oh, and while I’m on, are tickets for the Michael Jackson concert still available?
Yes you can buy them as a souviener of the blessed Michael at £100 a pop. I am sure the Jackson Family will stage a truly showbiz funeral whenever it happens.Thw show must go on as they say.
Dance michael dance !
I have an “original” unexpurgated version which I had as a Xmas Present 2008.
This may help you though

545 Sophie says they are all on holiday and the tv listings forgot to mention it. The holiday was announced last week at the end of the programme and are back with all the tosh in September. E&OE
Marr has been on holiday for 3 weeks. Last week someone filled him in erm I mean filled in for him – and was equally crap
Huw Edwards – Crap ? That man is a “Welsh Icon”

Gordon Thrill Killer Brown short version: Alistair could do the Peter Cushing voice over while Gordon Brown shakes from side to side like he does in his other youtube videos
You did mean Andrew Marr, yes ?
Andy was fantastic with his “Queen” Tribute Band performing “Bohemian Rhapsody” with other newreaders for 2007 BBC Children in Need but my eyes were glued to Fiona Bruce but after that I expect undertaking a Michael Jackson Thriller Tribute Tour would be pretty easy for “ol Jug-Ears”(doesn’t sound so good as “Ol’ Blue Eyes)Marr
No I got confused and thought we were talking about Gordon Brown. Sorry.
Although it will be on council telly I would gladly watch the Labour party conference on “Pay per view” . Gonna be fun : )
By the way the advantage of it being shown on “Pay per view” is you could get the unedited version with all the little side meetings and stuff where the real action occurs. On pravda you will get a heavily edited version of an extremely sucessfull conference no doubt as in the extremely sucessfull Afghan elections.
Indeed.Which this year will probably amount solely to footage of the Huhnes singing ‘Keep the Red Flag Flying’ – if they can keep from stabbing each other in the back during this ignoble finale.
There is an MSP bint on the sky tv now called christine grahame who has a hair do that can only be got from sticking you fingers in a live mains socket.
I had the same problem with a girl I once knew; it turned out that her nylon stockings were being charged up by her smalls or vis a vis, anyway the brushed fabric on my car upholstery caused some reaction to her barnet every time I switched the headlights off. I got a replacement.
Girfriend I presume. You wouldn’t want to start messing around changing anything in the car.
Yeah, her hair glowed in the dark vertically. The car was alright it was just her
“Is that a spark between us, or are you wearing nylon smalls?”
And they say romance is dead…..
I have a similar problem with static. I remember many years ago before I was forced to give up work due to the high taxes, I operated a CO2 fire extinguisher to put out a fire in a very noisy environment. The gas discharge had the effect of charging me up electrically and when the supervisor came over for a report, and due to the noise I had to shout into his ear, a fucking great blue spark jumped from the end of my nose into his ear. For some reason I felt no shock, but he certainly did. You should have seen the look on his face! I look back on the incident fondly now, because he was a Daily Mirror reader.
622. Lovely picture you paint. Was this at the Buncefield Oil Depot, only they’re Mirror reader types in Hemel Hempstead
gordon brown ruined my life
That Elmo character from your video clip reminds me very much of a typical Nu Labour voter.
So Labour’s #welovethenhs PR campaign has been shot to shit by Labour corruption, backroom dealings and incompetence in Afghanistan.
Dan who?
Gaddafis son said the release of Magrahi was linked to trade deals, Mandelpumpmyass says no it wasn’t.
Hmmm…I wonder who to believe.
A general rule of thumb worth bearing in mind is that if Mandelslime’s lips are moving, he’s spinning, dissembling, being economical with the actualite or lying.
Surely that’s an immutable law of nature.
Definitely lying. We can’t belive a word that man says any more.
Well duh! Looks like Mandy’s toast in America (let’s hope South as well as North for the sake of all those Brasilian lads’ arses).
You obviously haven’t been following the “cover Story” -The “Noble Lord” and First Secretary had nothing to do with it – he had a “John Major moment” at the crucial time in question having a small op on the old waterworks and as he will no doubt tell Obama – “Terribly sorry Barack it’s the Scots you can’t do anything with them I should know I have to deal with one all the time !”
Alistair Darling says
“I am trying to talk sense into that man. He just doesn’t get it – going on about “Tory cuts” is not going to make an impact on the electorate. We have to frame the debate in terms of our cuts being better than their cuts. The voters aren’t stupid – they know how bad the economic situation is.”
Well the sadsack Brown is still taking electoral advice from Balls isn’t he you prick? What a fucking loser that man is.
An anonymous Labour MP leaked this conversation he alleged that he had with Darling, which took place several weeks ago.
Darling is being smeared because he is the only labour politician left with any vestige of credibility or integrity.
He is the least worst of what’s left of the Labour Party, and he is standing in the way of the queue to knife Brown in the back, take his place, and win the election with a heroic landslide victory for Labour against impossible odds. (Cue patriotic music on the BBC).
God Almighty. Is Darling all we have left? The “vestige of credibility/integrity” must be dwindling by the hour.
O/T but re the General Dannatt smear campaign – they’re now going after his charitable work for Help for Heroes.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/6073767/Help-for-Heroes-dragged-into-General-Sir-Richard-Dannatt-smear-campaign.html
For me this whole affair just serves to reinforce Labour’s corruption – they judge everyone else by their own standards in assuming that because their MPs (and the other party’s to be fair) have been on the take, that everyone else must be at it too. Personally I hope they keep going with this one, as the further they take it, the worse they look, and the less people are going to be likely to vote for them.
Nulabour stalinist scum will stop at nothing. This is gutter politics of the worse kind. Every smear, and every lie they now tell brings them closer to an absolute wipe-out at the general election. Labour MPs – go to your constituencies – and prepare for unemployment.
Labour MPs cannot simply comprehend that ANYONE would work for a charity for free or not even submit an expenses claim.They judge everyone else by their low standards of behaviour of course
Yes, quite right. Psychologists call it ‘projection’. It’s not confined to Labour, though. That Tory shit with the private forest we had to pay for the upkeep of suffered from it too. At least CMD fucked him off, though.
So distrusting that they make charitable and benevolent volunteers undergo police checks. Lovely country you make it you fuckers. Not.
There are no words in the english language that adequately decribe this heap of donkey dirt (apologies to donkey’s) that we have for a government.
They are shambolic, incompetent, dishonest, corrosive, vile. The lowest of the low in our society are head and shoulders above them.
They have been trying to spin and smear against General Sir Richard Dannatt for a month now. The last attempt over his expenses came to grief when the DT today revealed that he had legitimately claimed £19K for entertainment expenses over four years 2005-2009 whilst bob’ainbustinagut claimed £394K for 3 years -2008 and brainless kevan claimed a whopping £454K for three years 2005-2008.
So they have got their fingers burnt on that one and now they’ve changed tack and concentrated on his charity work!!!!
Odious scum.! (Apologies for my language)
Dear Nell. I bet you never thought in all your upbringing that you would live under a truly shite Government. I didn’t. Odious scum is too kind but I respect your lady-like restraint.
Dear Lady Marjorie – no I never did. I have never felt so strongly opposed to any government as I have to this one.
I feel ashamed to think that they represent us abroad – what must other nations think of us?
And when I watch how they behave towards decent upstanding people like General Sir Richard Dannatt I feel sullied by their actions because they do it in our name as the government of the British people.
Our lads in Afghanistan are worth better than this and I can’t wait to see them gone – I hope for good – I hope they are completely destroyed in the next election – so that they can never ever lead another government.
“Odious scum.! (Apologies for my language)”
Yes an apology is indeed due Nell, for not using enough ‘language’!
There isn’t punishment bad enough for the whole kit and kaboodle of them.
Not one ounce of shame amongst them.
It all started with Campbell and that paragon of virtue and “straight sorta guy” the multi-millionaire jet-setter, statesman and putative President of Europe -Teflon Tony
643. Teflon don’t last forever. I’ve disposed of many worn out teflon’s over the years. His time will come for smelting I’m sure, especially. I am greatly encouraged by reading of the charitable and professional work Gen Dunnant has undertaken without spotlight or fuss until recently. I always hoped that there were proper, decent people in the upper layers of our society and he seems to be amongst them. I hope he is not unique by many more men and women of our nation of similar calibre. In fact, I know he is not because I know many people who would love to do for their country and local communities but are beaten off by red tape and rules against it.
Yep. Teflon does wear out. After about twelve years, I recckon.
There have been rumours that Teflon isn’t entirely Safe.
General Dannant-please take us out of this mess and join ukip.
Or the Jury Team
In the 70′s Labour were seriously worried that the Generals and military would launch a copu d’etat -Harold was always blathering on about it to Marcia and me over a late night whisky- so much like Thatcher preparing for the Miners Strike by stockpiling coal Labour came up with a “cunning plan”.They ensured that the next time they were in power that our troops were over-commited and permanently out of the country fighting overseas wars so that there were always insufficient forces in the country to undertake such a coup but then again perhaps some of Harold’s paranoia rubbed off on me. I’m not as young as I was.
You’re not ‘The’ Alexander Selkirk are you??
That’s what it says on my bus pass, milady, so I guess I am
This morning’s crap was unusually protracted – one of those massive bloogers which take forever and ever. In the end it turned into a scoop-it-out job, you know the ones I mean, a couple of fingers tugging around the sphincter, while the other hand tugs at the bit of the turd just about protuding. After a bit more grunting and tugging things start to move, you’re not pulling it out exactly, and pieces breakaway, but it gets the job done after a fashion.
It’s a bit like trying to get the Labour Party out, and they probably need a helping hand.
Every little helps.
I doubt that Sir Richard would allow any of these Hoons to even polish the soles of his boots.
I would rather walk 40 miles in a heap of dog shit then lick out the cleats rather than give one of these Huhnes the pleasure of cleaning mine.
SCUM
Sky says of the smear campaign against Sir Richard that ‘if a smoking gun were found’ proving there was a smear campaign, then this would be a serious resigning matter.
Well the proof he’s looking for is in the identity of those mnisters who submitted the FoI requests on the General’s expenses.
Surely Sky can get their hands on that sort of information easily. Or maybe a kindly soul in the MoD will provide it to Guido. If it doesn’t turn out to be brainless kevan or that illustrious drinking lord person – I’ll eat my hat.
Having said that I think Sky are overly optimistic to think any of the current labour crew would ever resign for anything. They have their fingers superglued to that treasury purse and mean to keep them there until the next election.
OK Guido modded twice trying to reply. I’ll give up in the hope that there is more to come on this story tomorrow. My hat is ready – though I hope I don’t have to eat it.
If it helps; I find one gets modded by doing the following in my experience: Using ‘Heeese’ real name, using the three letter word for a cigarette beginning with f, posting too much, anti and anti or anti .
PS
I am not in Sir Richards league
God bless him
Totally O/T BUT is our “Glorious Leader” ever going to break “Purdah” and actually comment personally about the Lockerbie Release this side of the Labour Party conference ? Thoughts anyone ?
‘probably dreaming up a diversion as I type. I hope it’s not a rail crash or something like that. I wouldn’t put it past them.
How about this ? England wins “The Ashes” and BBC takes all other items off the news agenda. They even abruptly terminated interview with ex-FBI man Frank Garvie re US outrage at Lockerbie release. Well as the BBC would say – “Back to the things that really matter”
Brown can hardly keep cavey now. This is serious stuff. A Prime Ministerial Statement is absolutely required
Gone down with the Marie Celeste.
The Marie Celeste didn’t go down. Its crew vanished without trace.
Pity Brown can’t do a Stonehouse into the Bermuda Triangle, too.
Smear campaigns R’ Us, Dannatt retiring in 8 weeks so they know that is when the shit will really hit the fan, so what do they do? try to undermine his credibility first, before he is free to say what he really thinks, is anybody still taken in by these scumbags?.
post script, BBC excepted.
The BBC is either extremely gullible and naive or machiavellian and complicit in the “Great Lie”. I know which I believe
I hope the BBC is living on borrowed time and that come June when we have a new broom sweeping through parliament – the BBC will be privatised, cut loose to survive upon their wits so to speak and the license fee abolished.
I am looking forward to that day.
They don’t deserve to be publicly funded anymore. Their programmes are all so blatantly biased towards the Labour party, that I, for one, will not be sorry to leave the UK and pay the shysters a license fee.
I never watch the BBC these days but as a license fee is compulsory, I have no choice but to pay it. I call that discrimination.
I know Rosenberg, who had been editor in the ’20′s, was tried and executed at Nuremberg. Do any historians here know if any figures associated with Voelkischer Beobachter in the 40′s were similarly handled? It would be a shame if several BBC people were left off, should anybody be compiling a list.
Can tell Bruins not about, didn’t with English cricket tean good luck – Proof iff ever there was some needed, the blokes poison, the more he involves himself, the more toxic the consequences. Message to Libour, back him and back him good.
If McLoon breaks cover on the back of this historic ashes win with everything else that’s going on, I hope Freddie uses that Puma to lamp him right between his eye(s).
Or perhaps every ashes winning side will be required to inform the incumbent PM that they are ‘a knob’.
Three recent polls shows gordon and his criminal crew are losing it.
One asking about the Afghan War shows that 67% want our troops brought home and only 1.5% think gordon is running the war competently.
A poll asking about the NHS found that 47% thought the tories would be a safer pair of hands , 39% thought labour were doing ok with the nhs – the rest didn’t know.
And a poll asking voting intentions at the next election showed Con.41% – Lab 24% and Lib Dems 18%.
I remain bemused as to why the Lib Dems have not yet overtaken Labour – but I hope they will.
Pity that keeping gordon out of the limelight for August hasn’t done anything for their poll ratings. Wonder what they’re going to do at the autumn conference?
Early election anyone?
new labour and gordon brown have achieved a quite remarkable feat: what made labour unelectable untill 1997 was that people had no faith in labour’s economic competence.
after 12 years of incoherent new labour economic policy the country once again has no confidence in labour regarding the country’s accounts and not only that, the vast majority of people now also have no faith in the value of labour’s deployment of British troops or in labour’s warmongering foreign policy of occupation.
in short this corrupt government is led by a leader without a mandate and as a collective has insufficient support or ability to continue running the country.
an october election is in order.
They brought it upon themselves, and they only have themselves to blame.
Not the banks, the yanks, or anyone else.
Trouble is they’ll lose 8 months expenses claims if they go for an october election – methinks they’ll hold on to their easy money for as long as they can.
Given the size of brainless kevan’s claims over 3 years (£454K) – 8 months represents £100K – they won’t give that sort of money up easily.

thankyou.
Ohhhh nooooo. Not the Lib Dems, Nell. I couldn’t even contemplate having Clegg as PM. He hasn’t got a clue.
No shelling-out I don’t want Clegg as PM!! I want the Lib Dems to replace labour as the 2nd party so that labour becomes the 3rd or even 4th party.
I want to see labour and its grass roots so completely destroyed so that they can never again become a government in this beautiful country of ours.
Hear, hear, Nell.
No, please not the liberal democrats. Look, I’m not being funny but if I wanted to live in europe I’d move across the channel. I want to live in Britain/UK like what my parents expected under a monarchy if neccesary but under UK gov’nance by democratic consent where pledges made at the elections are largely kept not ignored or changed to another polarity altogether. Ta.
It looks like it’s going to have to be UKIP, the BuMP or the Greens then.
It would be good to see UKIP, the Greens and the Monster Raving Loony Party in 3rd, 4th and 5th places in a new Parliament with labour relegated to 1 or 2 MP’s.
I hope for instance that Frank Field survives although his recent support for mad hatty was a bit of a disappointment. Kate Hoey is another good one.
Will we really have to put up with the Labour Party in our gang? Can’t they be sent to the Non Parties’ gang instead?
Labour has run its course,99 years of endless employment legislation(some necessary) has left it irrelevant,it has if you like legislated itself out of existence.
This is the reason it has diversified into silly nonsense like Mad Hatties equality bill which is nothing short of unlawful discrimination itself,I doubt it would get past a moderator in any of our left wing Uni`s!
The Green party sadly will be the main opposition in ten years because a lot of right on ,socially engineered, ill eduacated “Graduates” who know no history because they spent their time studying the future will go with the consensus wail “Something Must Be Done To Save The World For Future Lefties”. all will be on the menu with such socialist norms as the one child policy,compulsory abortion,euthinasia,higher taxation to deprive people of choice,extortionate water charges etc. . . . . .
You can get away with anything if your`e saving the planet!
ENGINEER read 701 Thank’s A
