Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:
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.
Doh!
Well he pissed in the Downing St garden last time they won so maybe he can knock gordo out this time round.
Ashes won, and Brown on the rack – a rather pleasent welcome home:
http://is.gd/2vvk5
Its Great, stock market is climbing England win the Ashes and Alex Salmond has just saved his country around £1400 pound a wk sending the Libyan guy back to home. I wonder how bankrupt this country has to become before we bring our lads home. Oh I forgot. We need the smack to keep the criminal justice system bursting at the seems and keeping the population in check with fear. And by the way the stock market is climbing because the banks are buying corporate bonds. Well done the treasury. The next thing to get money into the economy is to print some more and give it too our fraudulent political classes. Great that will get us out of this Depression and into the next one. Any one mention soup kitchen
I’m all for a soup kitchen, if Heinz tomato is on the menu!
Make your own tomato soup by
sieving 2 tins of tinned plum tomatoes into a pan, simmering down a bit then add a vegetable stock cube.
Easy.
Half a handful of chopped basil is a good addition, too.
TWO TINS !! bloody hell – I read it as TWO TONS – I’ve really blown it
You can all come round to my kitchen
Soup anyone ??
Nope, make it Tom Kha Goong for me!!
Make your own bread to go with it, and you have a very nice meal for about a quid.
I quite like it chilled with a dollop of basil semi-fredo and black pepper
Now all we need is for Cam to win next year and we have the hat trick!
Or not – do we actually need government? Just a thought – seem to be getting along alright without them.
172. Cam – shafted more like. I’d be piston’d off if he wins next year.
It’s a great pity that the cartoon doesn’t have an accompanying soundtrack!
Wrong Fecking Eye!
Sport is for wankers, and cricket, for the soggy biscuit variety. Who gives a fuck? A beats B. Blue is a nicer colour than red. 12 is better than 2. It’s all a game of fucking Numberwang, and cricket is the Wangernum.
prannet
So What Floats Your Boat ? Pray Tell !
Keep your stupid inane comments to yourself, arsewipe
You forgot to mention that “Rules” is the only game worth anything.
Talking about bombers and rules have you ever tried to explain to a yank how any game can last 5 days and still end up a draw.
says alot about the Septic’s attitude really
Have you ever tried to explain to a yank about anything?
Getting the fuckers to shut up first is the hard part. Then you have a window of about 30 seconds to get the message through in a monosyllabic burst.
The Force is with the Tuscan (or vice versa) on this. Who give a rats left nut which set of flanneled fools won the ashpan?
It’s usually the ones with the slopiest heads and bleeding knuckles.
Why can’t these guys get a grown up hobby like internet porn or summat?
Gaddzooks Mr Tuscan – gaddzooks and triple gaddzooks. I heard a tale that when Michael Parkinson’s Mrs was quite ready to churn out a bambino he chucked her in the car and tonned it up to Yorkshire just in case it was a lad and that maybe he was useful at cricket. Perhaps you’ve been chatting with Paolo too much! Hope yours are all doing well.
Don’t they all eat just pies as well, the fucks?
“Sport is for wankers”
Says the spotty little nerd who is too weak and feeble to take part in sport. Probably a fucking stamp collector.
As for cricket being soggy, try facing a fast bowler – you’d shit your nappy.
So what type of idiot does stand in the way of a very hard ball traveling at 90 mph?
Well, there’s baseball batsmen in Seppland
Ricky Ponting??
22 fuckwits and only one ball between them, says it all really
Cant find SEPPLAND ON MY MAP Where is it ?
Can You Tell Me A Sport That Is Played With More Than One Ball ? Apart From ****S ?
Scott, can you call table games sports? Snooker, pool, billiards…..
I Was Thinking Of Bowls
Thank you Mr Force for your considered comments!
Now, if you’d kindly just fuck right off & die..I’d be absolutely thrilled.
Love & Kisses
HJ
ps
Your sister will have to invest in a vibrator, should you complete my request in an acceptable manner!
All These C*nts Slagging Off Sport Must Be Jocks ! Never Won Fuck All Doleite Crack Addicts .If They Could Take Part Whilst Slumped In Front Of The Telly With A Gob Full Of Fried Mars bar, They Would Be World Beaters
The Ashes is so inane it can be summed in binary: 011111111011100001100110001101000000111000000110011101100000000101.
good cartoon lads
So that’s what was going through your mind when you ran out Ponting. Figures.
take a run straight to mid of what you expect ?
freddie on the money as usual
No need for a box in my jockstrap, most schools now use a SOFT ball in cricket because of my PC Health & Safety fears, Mandy can keep on using one.
Pity it wasn’t the final nail
I love you Freddie! I want to marry you and have your babies…
Now that’s enough of that!
why does his face have testicles?
‘cos everything about him is bollocks
His brains have dropped
Would Be Funny If That Was An RPG !
Cartoon is not correct ! the c*nt only has one eye not Two !
Monday factoid: he actually has two natural eyeballs, but only one functions correctly. Bit like Martuy Feldman but without the wit and good looks.
nor a successful career, nor the popularity
Ive Never Cared Enough To Bother Looking !
TT…
*hat tipped*
Incidentally, I’ve still got loads of anecdotes left about the time that I may of back scuttled, the fullsome breasted, Kate ..over the bonnet of my spitfire when I was 17!
I think you mean ‘may have’…not ‘may of’ you buffoon.
Kate Who /And Do You Have Any Pictures ?
Where was the Hun at the time?
I hear that Mandy has fallen head over heels in love with, and is sending bunches of roses on an hourly basis to the doctor who put his finger up his arse
We await the anecdotes (with pic, or sketches if no pics are available) with trembling lower limbs.
Well Done Freddie Lad ! If Yer Can Throw A cricket Ball Like That You Should Fuckin’Take Up Darts Lad !
darts not bad lad even more beer
There’s mileage in this Fred lad…….Northern bloke retires, gets a show with pub and club games and BEER. Crib, Shove ha’penny, Bar Billiards, Arm Wrestling, Table Footy…BEER……..Ah’ll sithee!
He’s not retiring – he’s saving his skills for the rewards of the IPL.
Not playing test cricket anymore. Sounds like retiring to me.
I don’t play test cricket and I’m not retired.
If you can add ‘non smoker’ and ‘GSOH’ to that list, there’s a young lady in Derby with interests for equestrian matters and alopecia about whom computer says “Yes”.
How a young Englishman plays for his Country again I don’t know.
The Counties are full cold war anti English types and loo at the Flowers.
The English should start a cricket team to play against the scottish Empire that has landed on are shore
The Jock Mafia Will All Be Going Back To Jockland By June Thank Fuck !
We have revised our original planning application and this time we propose to build the structure much higher to prevent the ‘sweaty socks’ being able to cross it.
If planes can get over it, it won’t be high enough.
Cameron is a good English name…
& please take that prostated QUEEN with you !!
guido lad as i inspired the cartoon do i get a knighthood ?
Sir Frederick Flintoff Lord Of Lords !
Thought you’d be off getting wankered with the rest of the team
He didn’t have to go on the lash to get legless. His knee is knacked.
No but next best thing,you get fisted by QUEEN mandrake.
Brown probably wants to feel their balls. I hear he’s into that.
Back In 1997 It was Reported That Millbank were Concerned That He Didn’t Date Women And That They “found Him A Wife” To Improve His Image ! Anyone Remember The Story ?
Just a quick reminder as everone else pulls out of recession and we, the ‘best place’ to withstand such affects not only remain in recession but spiral deeper and deeper into debt.
“I want to set in place a longterm framework for economic prosperity… I want to break from the boom bust economics of previous years.”
Gordon Brown the BOE was given independance
http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/6/newsid_3806000/3806313.stm
Couldn’t bear to read it.
the BOE has always had independence.
Who picks the board that runs the “independent” BoE?
yup But ask one eye about the Sherrif of Hamilton ( not Nottingham) his good friend as cyclops was just an MP. I think we should be told.
WUS !
Gordon is in serious trouble.
He met Gadaffi six weeks ago to discuss Lockerbie
Surely not….After all McFuckwit assured us all that it was solely a matter for the Scottish government. I saw that reported on Pravda (as I was passing Currys) in colour! so it must be the truth. If I was Gadaffy I would be more worried about the Curse of the Manse.
Be assured the Americans are not just pissed off they are truly absolutely seething with anger. This has not gone down at all well and will come back and hurt those ignorant Labour mother f*ckers big style. It will also hurt us as being regarded as a soft touch. Can these idiots not get anything right?????
I think the americans knew exactly what was happening. They wanted to tender for the oil.
They had to appear appalled to placate their electorate.
I agree with this. The yanks are still doing business with Libya and if they were really sincere in their anger they’d pull out. But it’s so much easier to let the Brits take the rap. They have been working for years to bring Libya back into the fold.
Gas its all about gas (and some oil of course) Exports though will be by pipeline as there is little infrastructure to export by sea and limited accessibility to the Med for large tankers. That link to Europe is via Italy and possibly export connections with Egypt for acess to the southern parts of the canal and Indian oceans. Also dont forget Morroco coming slowly up on the oustside with proven reserves.
The Yanks are not really in the running anywhere here with the exception of Egypt perhaps where they have a fair amount of influence and stakes. The situation out there is not worth getting in a big pissing match over with a coalition ally thats for sure. There anger is genuine right to the person on the street. Right or wrong the one thing they dont like is someone appearing to be soft with terrorism and anyone out to attack them.
Meanwhile News reports indicate that
Britain was warned last night it faces ‘ payback time’ from the U.S. over the release of the Lockerbie bomber. The alert came as American consumers were urged to boycott British and Scottish exports and holiday in Ireland instead of the UK.
Another ‘freedom Fries’ excecise perhaps but one that will hurt us for a while and in a recession could well do without. All because of one bomber. Ironic really. Gaddafy once said I am a small nation but one grain of sand is enough if put in the correct place on the wheels to cause the machine to fail.
Quoted to me by a Libyan in 1978. I don’t believe anything has changed.
sos, of course, been saying it all along. Good for the Scots, set the cat amongst the pigeons. For some reason no government want to re-open the case. Too much to hide. I feel sorry for the relatives who can’t get it resolved. I hope K. Mackaskill makes a good showing today and confounds his critics., I hope newlabour get caught out, and the Americans, well they can go hang, and Jack Connell (ex labour leader who left under a cloud) and the current labour leader (forget his name) should keep their mouthes shut, they’re only acting on orders from the gorgon ‘down South’, after all.
Africa contributes more than 19% of U.S. crude oil imports and many analysts predict that it will provide more than 25% of U.S. imports by 2015. In 2008, Nigeria, Algeria, Angola, Chad, Libya, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon were respectively the top sources of U.S. oil and petroleum product imports from Africa.
http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/08-18-2009/0005079026&EDATE=
The release of al-Megrahi was both legal and moral. On 28 June 2007 the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission concluded its four-year review and, having uncovered evidence that a miscarriage of justice could have occurred, the Commission granted al-Megrahi leave to appeal against his Lockerbie bombing conviction on six separate grounds. The Commission found that all the evidence used to obtain the conviction against al-Megrahi was tainted.
With all the new evidence available al-Megrahi would have been found not guilty, at worst the verdict would have been not proven, a finding possible in Scottish Law. The problem was that in the six years since the case went to the SCCRC, al-Megrahi developed terminal cancer and would in all high probability be dead before that verdict could be declared. Thus, there were only two legal and moral options available. Release him on bail until the appeal case is finalized, or grant him immediate release on compassionate grounds. The Minister took the easier of the two options and made an order for compassionate release. Al-Megrahi in his statement made it clear he wanted to go home immediately to his family rather than be proven not guilty posthumously. As he has done for years, he again stated his innocence and expressed sorry for the innocent victims of someone else’s crime.
The conclusion to be reached is the action by the Scottish Minister for Justice was legally and morally correct. The UK government should also act legally and morally and conduct a full inquiry in place of the appeal process now abandoned in order to obtain the truth so the friends of the victims can get closure. There is a strong possibility any such inquiry will show a case can be made out to charge US officials, including CIA officers and the present head of the FBI Robert Mueller, with attempting to pervert justice.
Excellent post. Absolutely spot on. It’s about time our American “allies” cleaned their own stables. God knows there’s enough garbage there.
Moral equivalence.
Fuck off to Libya.
Thanks Paul F, that was absolutely spot on! At last someone who knows what they are talking about.
Excellent Post Paul F!
My above 3 posts have been modified, goodness knows why, only praising the comment at 71
I prefer Martin Bright’s article today in the spectator “The great Libyan Folly”
McCaskill’s decision is self righteous claptrap.
I followed the ‘investigation’ & trial throughout,
mostly i must say from reading ‘private eye’.
(it was in black & white,must be true)
IRAN did it ! that aarab guy is a stool-pigeon,
oh yes,when the truth hits the fan———
I can assure you that Mr Kad-Taffy is an honest, hard-working man who was merely misunderstood: people heard “take down that jumbo jet” when he actually said “Break down that elite set!” Truly, a man of the people who would solidly vote Labour.
‘Gordon is in serious trouble. He met Gaddafi………’
Given the curse of Brown, much more likely is something extremely unpleasant happening to friend, Muammar. Let’s see.
Surely, with the curse that is Brown, it is Gadaffi whose days are numbered.
PMSL
i got the cartoon in one !! yipaye ayyyy
Well done England , freddies run out was superb (and rangers goal if you havent seen that yet)
I have draft of ruins communica to hotel in london where team are abusing the somalier
Dear England Cricket team
I would like to offer my congrtulations , I was watching the telly all day and would have attended in person were it not for me working so hard to ensure we get through the crisis which started in america . I know many of you have been wondering where I have been and in between helping ricky ponting with tactics and wicket variations , only the other day ricky called me up to tell me he didnt need me to phone anymore , as like me he thought my advice meant we were just around the corner from comming out of the recession .
I would like to invite you all round to downing street for drinks god knows special brew is cheap enough these days , and cheap booze is helping to keep our A&E services at full tilit at the weekends , yet another example of where britain is working .
anyway got to go got a bit of an international fiasco to sort , it was nae me it wae salmond .
hope the tories dont find britains future plan debate held before recess
His Ermine na met gaddafi’s son whilst on his summer hols again, but does not seem to get mentioned on the BBC.
Some foreign policy when you poop of to see Wanker
The BBC didn’t think that was as important as trying to smear the Conservatives (again).
David Cameron is weak, and he’s backing the wrong horse on this one!
Neigh, Neigh and thrice Neigh!
so is that excuse for a leader Nick Clegg, on World at One limping along in his effeminate voice, he sits on the fence so much must be giving him piles!
it could be argued that it was south africa what won the ashes – strauss, pieterson and trott – no mean contributors – and always so well liked by the establishment…….
Matt Prior was born in SA as well.
As the Duke of Wellington once remarked “Being born in a stable does not make one a horse.”
A long, long time ago Cape Town got to choose our immigrants and the rest went to Australia
like wot i said above
Pierterson didn’t play as he was injured from the start.
Did so! He played the first two Tests.
And what was his total score, pray tell??
Like With Any Sport You Will Be Hard Pushed To Find Enough Natives In This Country To Make A team And In The Future It Is Going To Get A Lot Worse ! But On The Bright Side Scotland Have Never Been Any Good At Any Thing To Do With Sport
Cricket,what a pastime, the smack of leather
on willow,jovial banter,afternoon tea.
I would prefer to watch paint dry & grass grow
AT THE SAME TIME !.
(please get back to that wot matters !)
No-one really trusts the Tories – least of all on the NHS.
It’s the SNP getting shitcanned – not Brown.
Economy has been rescued by a major player – Cameron is a lightweight.
Mandy’s got his procedure out of the way – no pissy smell on the stump.
Thurs 29 Oct anyone? This is a moment of slight reprieve – enough to pre-empt total wipeout next June, by which time the Tories will be getting it in the neck for the coming shitocalypse.
Blair doesn’t have a monopoly on the timely side-step.
TROLL ALERT
Yum Yum…nearly supper time…!!
No-one trusts the tories, eh?
You haven’t been reading the posts on here. You can count the Brownites on one hand.
Wake up!
Correction: no one with any sense trusts the Tories.
Maybe re-visit here around May (or maybe shortly after Labour Party Conference) and we can discuss further.
That doesn’t mean people trust them. Where is the choice? Everyone will be crying in their beer once the tories have been in for a while. Just as with Blair.., a new horizon? The people of Britain only vote to get rid of the last lot.
Hullo, Charles! Long summer holidays dragging a bit, are they? Never mind, it’s back to school for you in a couple of weeks!
“Economy has been rescued by a major player”
u wot m8
Of course, I’m referring to the manipulation of public perceptions, not reality. Irony is wasted on more than just the Americans.
You’re right there mate.
Election this autumn ??? Do you read the polls or even the press for that matter ? Even the “friendly press” can’t hide the facts anymore – Brown and Labour are FINISHED.This latest affair over whether or not they were involved in the Libyan release is just another blow to the rotting corpse of this Labour Government
Well said anonymous, just take a look at today’s Guardian headlines: “Mandarins launch attack on Labour” or Independents: “Brown urged to reveal role on Megrahi” and that’s the friendly newspapers.
Something is about to happen, something’s afoot.
Perhaps would have been a tad more helpful had the Mandarins whinged when they were in post; or, at least resigned on principle, then whinged.
>Something is about to happen, something’s afoot.
More than afoot — aleg at least, I’d say, as even Badger is dissing his boss.
“Brown and Labour are FINISHED”. Agreed – more or less. But Mandy’s too clever to fall into the trap of going to the polls at zero hour. He is the ultimate pragmatist and will correctly calculate the odds on shades of disaster.
I will put real money on slimeymandy
‘crossing the floor’ !
After all he is more tory gay than–
(i give up)
Blair had another job to go to and I dare say Lord Melanie has also. But Brown does not so he’ll be going nowhere except to the funny farm.
The most you can expect this year from Labour is a change in leadership.
Change to whom? Exactly. Brown has just one chance to show ‘courage’ now, and that’s to go for this autumn. He would gain back a fair number of Labour deserters just by taking the bull by the horns – not least in Scotland. He would also catch the Tories completely on the hop. Such a strategy would barely save a handful of seats at best, but Labour would not have given up their claim to be the party of initiative. By such a means they will avoid falling into quite so deep a trough of despond as did the Tories and as a result be much more vicious in oppostion – under Mandy. Their return at the following GE will thus not be as completely out of the question as if they allowed themselves to be hounded out of power at zero hour.
“Brown has just one chance to show ‘courage’ now”
The whisky and revolver option.
He would miss!!
He’s aimed the gun a few times, with the result of shooting himself in the foot.
He shot Blunkett’s dog last week so he had to come up with bollocks about cows attacking his dog.
yawn
Brown will hope the timing of what appears to be the real beginnings of a robust and sustainable recovery will occur around about next April, before inflation starts to soar along with taxes and the unavoidable cuts which will swiftly follow the Election. But if inflation starts to tick up alarmingly beforehand, expect an Election sooner than he would otherwise like.
It don’t matter when it comes… NuLabour will be wiped out at the next GE… tomorrow, next Friday, Boxing Day or next May. People have made up their minds and are just waiting for an Election to “turn up” to get rid of as many of these
arsholes as possible…!!
Roll in the next bunch of ‘career’politicos,
this country has been fucked over time &
time again by this ‘herd’ of absolute
NOTHINGS !.
WE NEED A BIG BIG CHANGE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Government now slammed on crime…
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090824/tuk-government-slammed-over-crime-in-dep-dba1618.html
Sky’s reporting that less than one CCTV camera in a thousand actually catches a crime in action that results in a conviction. Grist to the mill for those of us who always suspected they were only there to spy on the masses and nothing to do with crime prevention.

Sunday Times 23-Aug-09; “MoD incompetence risking troop operations”

There are other headlines but I detect an extreme hardening of attitudes against the unelected PM and unelected Lord. The silence is deafening. Are the knives being sharpened.
Something’s afoot
Government faces autumn of strikes
The Government is facing an autumn of discontent by tens of thousands of workers in worsening disputes over jobs, pay and services.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090824/tuk-government-faces-autumn-of-strikes-dba1618.html
Precisely 30 years later and a Nu winter of discontent beckons yet again at the fag end of yet another failed Labour government.
Deja Vu anyone?
I fear you are right, and the only surprise is that it hasn’t happened already. We all know that every Liebour government ends in financial chaos, only this time they have truly excelled themselves. It will be a bloody time, but if it results in the destruction of this bunch of half-wits and control freaks then it will still be a price worth paying.
The missing piece of the jigsaw is inflation. When the effects of quantitive easing kick in then all will be in place. Deja vu alright.
The destruction of Labour will be the result, but the price will be too high. We should leave just one in parliament to act as a live warning to future generations.
When sating Envy is the main role of government then of course no-one is going to do anything to be envious of.
It just means another huge depression, oh and don’t believe the BBC on the economy, 12% of the 2008 economy, was printed in money, and inflation is a lagging indicator, the BBC will claim growth, but in reality it’s a tsunami of inflation to come.
The Bank of AC1 seems to have printed too many commas.
No Deja Vu for me thanks. I’ve seen it all before.
Of course something’s afoot. It’s 12 inches or 303 millipedes
I understand !
So what,we are getting ‘hard’armour from Libya ?
VIa, VIA Via,
Latin for road.
Brown isn’t around to say anything at the moment. He’s gone missing again.
It really is typical though. As soon as the crap flies he goes AWOL. How many times did that happen when Bliar was in the firing line. To think this scumbag wrote a book on courage FFS.
Was a great beer
Is he still in Jockland? Or has he flown out to sunnier climes?
He’s gone to Bhengazi with an oil-rig, drilling rights, a BP safety helmet and a copy of the Qur’an.
His nails must be down to the quick.
WASHINGTON ?
Brown is NEVER there when the shit starts flying. His “Cunning Plan” is starting to come unstuck and he is shitting himself that his new pal Obama is seriously pissed off and that he, Brown, can kiss goodbye to a gold-plated retirement next June woth a nice cushy professoeship at Harvard and also he can forget the yanks support for him to get a job at the IMF or World Bank. His mate Peter has done him up like a kipper this time
If the SNP government falls in Edinburgh to-day do you honestly think that the shits not gonna fly south ?- Brown and his government are up to their necks in the Al-Megrahi affair.There are bigger scalps going down in this affair – believe it!!
The SNP don’t have a government but an ‘executive’. This isn’t just a form of words. They don’t really have to govern anything but can ponce about in their shiny Parliament building calling each other ‘Minister’ while all the hard stuff is done (very, very badly, it’s true) in Westminster. When they actually have to make a decision, as recently, it hurts.
We refer to the Jock parliament as a Government not an executive just to protect our Labour paymasters down south of course
Like macavity he’s noticeable by his absence. But given his serial obsession with jumping on sporting and celebrity events that he believes will reflect well on him I am amazed he has not come out with a statement congratulating on the Ashes.
I am seriously beginning to think that he has been ill and that they are keeping him out of sight like Anthony Eden.
Mornng Folks.
and this from yesterdays Sunday Mirror
“John Prescott has landed his most bizarre job yet – as professor of climate change at a Chinese university. Prezza has confounded his critics with his new role at Xiamen University on the south east coast of the country where he will give occasional lectures on global warming.”
So with this level of expertise in ZanuLab’s govt. what next?
Brown out of sight is not illness, its his spin geezahs who have told him he stands more chance of a favourable reversal in fortune if no-one sees him. Five weeks off for a UK PM? Never heard of it, and the Tory secret agent Harman has been at it, I guess she will be called in soon! Tories at 17% after all the smearing done on Al Ja Beeba? All Labour safes are up for grabs!
He’ll be convalescing in some clinic. The bloke was heading for a nervous breakdown and I’ll bet he had one.
Old Two-Bogs as a professor?? I doubt that he can even spell the word.
The Chinese must be desperate to employ Prescott.
The man is an oaf.
Are they aware of how many khazi pans he is likely to break?
Who says the Chinese have no sense of humour? They’re going to need one now, anyway.
There was a rumour in China that fat English blokes taste like chicken. If Prescott has an accident out there I bet they alledgedly cremate the body.
I doubt that wild horses could keep him from a photo-op on the steps of No 10, in the hope that he can bask in the reflected glory. We will be treated to pictures of a gurning McBust trying to extract some kudos, so he will have to break cover shortly.
Ordinarily THAT would of course be the case but present circumstances Brown will keep out of sight – in Kirkaldy- until after the shennanigans at the Scottish Parliament later to-day. If the minority SNP Government faces a vote of confidence and actually falls then Brown will break cover to offer some pearls of wisdom and celebrate the return of Scottish Hegemony to Scotland. Not a bad result for Labour :-
1. They get a lucrative oil/trade deal with Libya
2. They shift the blame on to the “Nats”
3. Labour returns to power in Scotland
Er …… well that WAS the plan but unfortunately this lot are so incompetent that they keep leaving traces of their sticky mitts all over the thing and the Libyans strayed off plan. In addition the Foreign Office assessment of US anger being containable was as usual like the majority of Foreign Office assessments – a crock of shite.
Still never mind. At least the BBC is onside
Gadaffi got what he wanted. All he has to do now is to put the oil rights out to tender again. He can get far more money that way, and Britain will be left out in the cold.
Ah yes “Suez” – the last time a British Prime Minister tried some underhand dealing in the Middle East without telling the Americans about it
Nell, a face lift takes time to heal!
Mandy,right ?
Perhaps the men in white coats have finally be called in. I do hope so.
Allah akbar,we butcher our sheep to
an ages old fallacy,they cry & bleet
but what the fuck.
Gordon post this message on Friday.
http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page20376
So it looks at least as if the bastard was still alive on Friday.
Obviously getting his priorities right there then!
There’s also a glaring error in the Arabic greeting on the last line, where he says “Ramadan Mubarak”, it should be “Ramadan Kareem” – the equivalent of what he said in Christian English would be “Happy Lent” to a Christian, when Lent is a time of solemn reflection rather than happiness.
Eid, the festival at the end of Ramadan, is celebrated with the greeting “Eid Mubarak”, think “Happy Easter” in the Christian world
Yet another big Brown fuckup
YAWN i really do not care,
LEARN ENGLISH YOU Huhnes

yea he’s gone ‘walkabout’ in the houses of
parliament,looking for —–
who gives a fuck, KILLEMALL HA HA HA !!!!!!!
Fuck me I’m on the wrong site….. that cartoon made me larf.
yes phil, you are on the wrong site.
an idiot like you should ofcourse be at conservativefoam.
go there now imbecile.
allo titfer. I’m staying here to annoy you. ya little oink.
I have had many bloggers better than you try to do that phil.
and they all got a good hiding at the hands of the heroic and righteous thickas thieves.
as will you phil.
let the game commence, eh?
Phil,
I think Tat is a masochist who likes getting shown up for the mentally ill idiot that he is.
Back on the couch now Thicky
Your a proper prick you tat.
please, please ladies; form an orderly queue and you will each receive a thick as thieves fan club application form so don’t worry.
you are such loyal cripples, thankyou so much for queueing and waiting for me to arrive.
and perhaps, after your forms have been scrutinised, you may begin paying your subscriptions.
however anonospaz will not be accepted nor will phil because they are just a pair of c’unts.
fuck off you c’unts you are rejects.
Brown wished Gadaffi a Happy Ramadan. Surely Ramadan is supposed to be a time of fasting and great spirituality. perhaps he really meant Eid which is a time for celebration. Such confusion is typical of the unerring clumsiness always displayed by Brown. By the way any knowledge I have of Islam is gained by trying to know my enemy, or more likely, my future rulers. Every time I see a young English couple with a dog instead of children I think to myself that in another two generations I would be part of a minority. happily at 64 it will not be my problem.
Another pure coincidence in the Megrahi affair was he was released the day before the start of the holy month of Ramadan.
Another pure coincdence he was released just before Gaddafi celebrates 40 year in power after deposing King Idris in 1969.
But these were pure coincidences and had nothing to do with the decision.
Unlucky chappie. With having to fast all day the cancer will probably get him sooner. They could have left it for a month.
Mandelscum cooked it all up when he was in Corfu, now the row is bowling nicely.
Perhaps the real agenda was to remove any last traces of the ” US/UK special relationship ” so that complete integration into a United States of Europe can take place. Mandy is an arse, but he is a clever schemer who plays the long game……………………….
I bet anything in the world, he hasn’t.
If he’s still alive at the time of a spring election,it will not pass without comment.
I hope he lives long enough to at least see his name cleared. Poor sod’s nothing but a scapegoat.
Didn’t Bliar say it could take three months to find the WMD in Iraq?
Should we be still be sending our tax monies to HMRC in Cumbernauld as the money may be used to aid and abet terrorism?
The time to worry is when the US Sixth Fleet steams up The Clyde and the 101st Airborne parachute on to the grounds of Holyrood Park
The US military tends to shoot first and ask questions later. Could be interesting.
The green shoots of recovery were everywhere yesterday at Lords and thanks to the English I now expect a Brown Bounce that will catapult me back into number 10 for eternity.
I just wish they’d been his ashes.
Does the curse of the one-eyed son of the manse work on the distaff side?
I only ask because the Daily Mail reports that Sarah Brown twittered the following “Sarah Brown wishes Freddie Flintoff a successful knee op – one of the heroes of England’s conquest to regain the Ashes today.”
I really hope the curse is only confined to Jonah Brown. Otherwise young Flintoff is truly doomed.
Any druids, ritual magicians, necromancers, witch doctors reading this thread: can you please do something .
According to the DM Brown is ‘planning to write’ to the team. Whew! all they need to do is to tear up any official looking envelope, or any that appears to be written by a clumsy 5 year old using crayons.
Who is actually writing these “Sarah Brown” tweets? I don’t believe for one minute she is doing this it must be someone in the bunker.
Like the preposterous Rammadan greeting purportedly from the Great Leader, you mean?
I fear the subtleties of Arabic language and custom are completely lost on the great Poltroon and his minions.
It’s pretty clear that they translated the ubiquitous Arabic greeting “Ramadan Mubarak” as Happy Ramadan, where it actually means “blessed” rather than “happy”.
It would be a bit like wishing the Pope “Happy Lent” – yeah thanks! no fecking choclate for weeks…….
These Mis-speakings only seemed to get meedja coverage when Bush said them.
Brown and Obama-Beech’s gaffes seem to go down the memory hole.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants have signalled that the recession is starting to end.
Fat hope.
It’s not whether the recession is starting to end(?) but rather that employment is still rising particularly amongst 16-24 year olds and the fact that public spending will have to be severely cut back ;personal taxation increase, personal debt and bankruptcies will also be seen to be increasing(whoever wins the 2010 election) that will ensure that this country’s economic recovery will take at least 5 years
That is the result of Brown’s catastrophic mis-management of the nation’s finances since 1997
Taxation is generated at the expense of the real economy.
The state engineered credit inflation to cover up the fall in the economy.
The government needs to decide what it does well and shit-can the rest.
Shouldn’t take long – that’ll be a fucking short list
Government = Force.
So shit-can
The NHS,
Unemployment Benefit.
etc.
I.E. Keep
Armed Forces.
Police.
Judiciary.
Mental Health.
“Starting to end” and “over” could be several years apart. Unemployment continued to rise for about three years after the early 90′s recession, and that one was nowhere near so deep. It could be a decade or more before this one is truly “over”, and even longer to pay down the debts – provided we escape the horrors of hyperinflation.
Sorry for the negativity of the thoughts, folks. It’s being so cheerful wot keeps me going….
Just as BT announce that after this year they are scrapping their graduate recruitment scheme, with no plans to reintroduce it in the forseeable future.
That’s 15,000 jobs per year down the pan.
There’s a breathless hush in the close to-night
Ten to make and the match to win
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play, and the last man in.
And it’s not for the sake of a ribboned coat.
Or the selfish hope of a season’s fame,
But his captain’s hand on his shoulder smote
“It started in America an’ ah’m no tae blame!”
Ah, Newbolt. Very good, TM. How about working on the second verse? …(When the voice of a Mandelson rallied the ranks etc…)
I thought about it Mr Belvoir ( I had dinner at your castle many years ago btw). It is a better verse to Broonise than the first. I didn’t, since it deals with needless death overseas and the fruits of New Labour’s policies continue to return in slow, silent procession. I’m sure you understand.
Good point, TM, . ‘The desert sands are running red’ has a horrible resonance today,
Is that one of McGonagle’s exquisite pieces of verse TM?
‘Tis ‘Vitae Lampada’ by Sir Henry Newbolt.
Thanks, sorry, I don’t know it!
Thank god England won the ashes. No mention now of ‘elicopters, body bags, coffins.
And I refute rumours that I want a cut of the footman’s salary who walks in front of the funeral cortege.
Ainsworth would make a great Widow Twankey, don’t you think?
Gordon Brown as Baron Hardup, Dave and Osborne as the Babes in the Wood, Beckett and Smith as the ugly sisters, Mandelson as Abanazar obviously….
Flintoff has denied throwing that cricket ball into the PM’s face.
Police have been bought in to investigate.
So far they have 65,000,000 suspects
You’ve got to find Gordon first before you can throw the ball at him though haven’t you ?
I borrowed this from someone else…
Brown’s a Mystery Man: he’s called the Hidden Paw–
For he’s the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He’s the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad’s despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime—Brown’s not there!
Brown, Brown, there’s no one like Brown,
He’s broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime—Brown’s not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air–
But I tell you once and once again, Brown’s not there!
Brown’s a dour man, with a most unusual grin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly doomed;
His clothes are worn from neglect, his hair is uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he’s half asleep, he’s always wide awake.
Brown, Brown, there’s no one like Brown,
For he’s a fiend in human shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square–
But when a crime’s discovered, then Brown’s not there!
He’s outwardly respectable, (he never cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard’s.
And when the Country’s looted, or the Treasury is rifled,
Or when the funds are missing, or another firm’s been stifled,
Or the economy is broken, and the nation past repair–
Ay, there’s the wonder of the thing! Brown’s not there!
Brown, Brown, there’s no one with such audacity,
There never was a man of such deceitfulness and capacity.
He always has an alibi, or one or two to spare:
And whatever time the deed took place – Brown wasn’t there.
And they say that all the men whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention al-Megrahi, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than pawns for the man who all the time
Just controls their machinations: the Napoleon of Crime!
Applause
Ainsworth would make a great Fig. 11 target .. “Watch and Shoot” !! …
Don’t forget boys and girls:
“all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players”.
I prefer to keep an eye on what’s happening backstage……it’s far more interesting….and revealing.
I’ve heard a bit about people like you ducky, and I’m loving it!
One for the Taxodus threads
http://www.efinancialnews.com/homepage/content/1055002134
Somehow I don’t think the accelerating exodus bandwaggon we are seeing (and will continue to see increasing in 2010/2011/2012) is down to the top tax rate alone. There are many other very potent reasons behind this phenomenon besides just that.
Surely it should not be smash but clunk
Perhaps more a soft squelch. With flying blood and snot.
Surely this counts as cruelty to an innocent cricket ball?
How fast can you bowl a Nokia, Fred?
It should have been in the teeth though, not Brown’s only remaining semi-serviceable eye.
Depends which eye the ball hits
Could be the distinct sound of breaking glass.
guido could you get someone to do it live to him , now that would be good tv
Gordon Brown “checks out” youth football at Raith Rovers
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2009/08/24/gordon-brown-checks-out-youth-football-at-raith-rovers-86908-21620062/
“It’s great to have someone like him being prepared to get his tracksuit on and come and lend a hand.”
Brown is a tracksuit?
More like a skidmark.
Show some respect to glorious leader.
A straitjacket would seem far more likely.
Typo
Gordon Brown “checks out” youth at Raith Rovers
“After pulling on a tracksuit, the Labour leader gave George Burley a run for his money by passing on tips to about 100 young footballers in his Fife constituency”
“100 young footballers” it’ll take a week for ßröwn to recover
Evening Standard has a super picture from Brown’s little jaunt to Italy, it might even be useful for a caption competition. He is shown shaking hands with a self styled colonel from North Africa.
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23735982-details/Invisible+man+Brown+told+to+speak+out+on+Lockerbie/article.do
God I’m impressed with all those plastic war medals, they look like a fisherprice typewriter. Please Gordon can I have some to wear at the next funeral thingymajig.
Gaddafi use to get them in theatre in Park Lane outside the Dorchester each time he was found drunk rolling in the gutter but now it is Ramadan.
There’s a caption under the photo proclaiming, “Our glorious leader meets a tin pot dictator from a banana republic.” Libyan Times.
I wonder if the Colonels flatulence has changed much since John Simpson met him in the dessert, perhaps Gorgon’s expression answers that
Wow a funny cartoon
Much better. Much much better.
It would have been vastly improved if the ball had hit him in the knackers, IMHO.
What knackers, Fred??
My colleagues appearances recently are in perfect keeping with government policy having risen 0%.
With Brown away for so long is he about to pull an alec douglas hume and resign upon his return?
How long can macavity stay away?
Is he mentally exhausted?
Brown’s time as PM has been a relentless shitstorm. It must be getting through to him by now
Is he mentally exhausted?
No, just mental
It’s not just the gorgon, it’s the whole of newlabour, before and since him. They’re a crowd of incompetent, authoritarian, self serving, ill educated, useless, damaging a..e.oles.
Couldn’t agree more BC, can we please have the election sooner rather than later? – maybe Gordoom and Mandy think that winning the Ashes will provide enough of a bounce to call it early…
They’re a crowd of incompetent, authoritarian, self serving, ill educated, useless, damaging a..e.oles.
That’s because they are socialists.
No – just mental(ly).
Gheghiz
Was about to say the same, you just beat me to it.
Apart from that, where has the bugger disappeared to? A nation continues to await his ‘thoughts’ on the matter. I am so thoroughly disillusioned by him and his cowardice. Pissing off the most powerful nation on earth will have unwelcome consequences for us.
Wheres our EU referedum that you promised?
Where was the election to give himself a mandate in Autumn 2007?
Dude, where’s our leadership?
This is the biggest clanger he’s dropped so far…
And that is saying something!
!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!!????????…….I could go on.
Not at all – its a “masterclass” in the essence of leadership. Make sure that you stay out of the way until all the shit lands and then blame someone else for it. Brown’s an expert in this strategy .He’s based his whole political career since University on this methodology
Perhaps he REALLY IS having a nervous breakdown!
To celebrate the crushing defeat of Australia by South African rejects the price of petrol will immediately go up by 5p per litre, followed by a further 10p by Christmas to make a nice round £6 per gallon.
There is no truth in the rumour that Goldmine Sacks and the other criminal scum known as bankers are again ramping the price of oil – my blackmailers told me to add that bit.
Oh goody, more taxes for the little people.
Mandleson has recently had his instructions from the moneychangers on their Corfu ‘holiday’ together so your bleak assessment is of course not true.
Doesnt Brown usualy have two balls on his chin rather than one in the eye?
Silence is golden balls
Not long now boys…
and then we can all sing the praises of ZANUCON.
Continuing no doubt where ZANULAB leaves off…
Somwhat cruel, but bloody funny, all the same!
But… where IS Brown?
The attack on General Dannatt has (thank God!) been an utter disaster, the damned Americans are to boycott Scotland and the UK, yet still want us to prop them up in Afghanistan and Brown is STILL missing in ‘action’ so… Where’s Brownie?
http://thatsnews.blogspot.com/2009/08/monday-morning-update-attack-on-general.html
Can we expect resignations from Kavan Jones, Foulkes and Bob Ainsworth? Doubtful. And Brown is still on his ‘holiday.’
No. No and No. And “It’s the right thing to do !”
I don’t know about the others, but Kevan Jones will have to be dragged out, kicking and screaming. If you need a hand with this, please let me know.
There is no way he will voluntarily leave the cushiest job of his life to return to shuffling paper and counting paperclips for the TUC.
There must be some photos tucked away somewhere.
Wait until the end of this week when General Sir Dannatt officially retires – I don’t think he has said a fraction of what is on his mind so far, there’s a whole load more shit to be dug up at the MoD
I see Sir Geoffrey is urging people not to buy Scottish goods.
http://boycottscotland.com/
Who is responsible for this propaganda? Iwas unable to make any comment about it.
There’s no reply box as such; you have to use the email address they provide.
Aye lads and it makes me so bloody angry I could thump somebody, preferably my wife. Clowns! Don’t they realise this politics is a team game? It’s not just about thissen!
“americans boycott scotland” – does that mean that the one way love affair between McMental & Obamamessiah is over?
the yanks are seriously pissed off with the tartan clad ones
Who cares ?They’ll get over it ! Cheap flights and hotel deals plus we speak the language helps remarkably in a change of mind you’ll find
Remember – the “yanks” took fright in 2001 and we survived. It’s all a load of old bollocks. The majority don’t particularly care.It’s just a few.Even the media are rowing back after the initial furore. As far as Obama & Co are concerned its all “faked anger” for US domestic audience
The US has too much mutual interest in making sure that the row with the UK doesn’t go too far. Who else have they got that supports them militarily or politically ? And who do you think will benefit most from oil and gas deals and easing of relations with Libya ?
you are wrong. this is being spun and spun stateside.
the panic in your post is obvious. you know what is coming for scotland.
enjoy all the libyan tourists.
I can’t work out if you’re an american or not . But do you honestly think that the majority of the electorate in Britain are actually concerned about this affair ? I’m sorry to disabuse you but actullay the top item in the news over here is England Cricket team win “The Ashes” and I suspect that the majority don’t really give a toss about “Al-Megrahi” either way
You americans must be pretty used to your government cutting deals with unsavoury characters by now. Why are you getting your knickers in a knot over this?
What’s this cricket, is it a sport? What are “The Ashes”?
Gee whizz! Don’t you have Google in America?
“What’s this cricket, is it a sport? What are “The Ashes”?”
Google ‘bollocks’ and or ‘total arsewank.’
The US President loves cricket and fishing. Obama Beach is currently holidaying in Martha’s Vineyard. A local fisherman is hoping to get the President out for some fishing, although he added: “It may be a little bit hard trying to catch a nice striped bass with 30 Secret Service boats around and several jets overhead.”
The most comical prediction is that Gordon Brown would be arriving in September to take over the Obamas’ holiday home with bagpipes, kilts, crates of Johnie Walker and a get well soon card.
Its probably just the same small bunch of tossers who renamed French Fries to Freedom Fries. The US can hardly take the moral high ground when it comes to dealing with unsavoury characters in order to achieve a political or business goal.
Gordon Brown being one of them.
I here Scotch Salmon is now called Cunning Git Salmond
Ha Ha!
Let’s hope Trump’s desecration of one of the loveliest stretches of Scottish coastline for the Menie Estate two golf courses, a hotel, 500 houses and 950 holiday homes will not be financially viable now.
After all, where’s the justice if a Lockerbie happens again?
Remember All You Americans It Was A Scotish decision to let him out ! we The english had nothing to do with it ! even if westminster agreed to it as we have been over run with these scotch c*nts we the english would never have let him out so all the blame lies firmly with the jocks !
PS if you are looking for another country to destroy how about Scotland ? we the english will not oppose you ! please hurry !
Where’s Gordon ? Is he is dead ?
he is seeing his boyfriend
Isn’t he due for the Prime Minister’s annual visit to Balmoral and the obligatory “Highland Games” ?
He’s probably even now practising “Tossing the Caber” as we write
He’s probably even now practising “Tossing the Caber” as we write
While ruminating on the footballing youth of Raith Rovers
there is an undercurrent on this blog of questioning pm browns sexual preferences – whats the story?
He bats for the other side.
“americans boycott scotland”
If you ARE a yank which judging by your question you might well be as bloggers in the Uk wouldn’t need to ask – they already know the answer So we’ll be “nice” and let you off your anti-British jibes. We understand your anger.But’s its the “Bloody Scottish Nats” fault see(well that Brown’s cover story for the UK public anyway) “Nuthin’ to do wi’ him(his usual alibi other than the one about the UK recession which will amuse you(not) “It’s all the bloody Americans fault” Oh we do laugh !!!
The rumours regarding Brown’s sexuality are widespread on the internet and Uk blogs. Google it and you will be totally amazed by the number of results
>whats the story?
M’Lud, scurrilous photos of the Leader in a compromising position are allegedly in the safekeeping of certain persons who continue to benefit from same.
Rumour has it that the photos depict an obese Scotsman of middle age, wearing a nappy and seated gleefully on a rocking-horse. All very allegedly, of course.
Similar scurrility surrounds the previous incumbent, whose quondam nickname, “Miranda”, gives a hint of the nature of those rumours; as does examination of images of him aged about 20.
Yet more scurrility involves the Dunblane Massacre and as-yet unrevealed wrongdoing associated with it by persons of rank.
Here he is.

Gordon and his new bestest friend in the whole wide world ever…
The one on the right is a waxwork, isn’t it?
That’s how Gordon likes them; that way they don’t talk back and upset him.
Psychiatric hospital. But don’t tell anyone. His doctors advise a news blackout on the matter.
According to Gary Gibbon on Channel 4 lunchtime news the PM is indulged in “some excrutiating” manoevering over Lockerbie. ooh now then – missis !!!
He’s going for a shit? Or has he finally realised that there is almost nothing he could say on the subject that would not drop him even further in it? When in a hole…
Remember a few years back when Belgium didn’t have a government for a few months? It seemed to tick on regardless – this is more or less the same; all the fuckers are hiding, and in consequence things are picking up.
maybe we should just change the locks on the UK? Change the locks, and when any of those labour vermin try to get back intot he country, we can all hide bhind the sofa, pretend to be out. eventually they’ll stop knocking and go to the off licence in some other country.
get rid of them all……..how could anyone nnnneeeeed mcbrown?
a walking embarrassment ……
mandy……..a man with previous and constant liar…..
etc etc………..
close the commons,lords,quangos………
stop pissing our money down the drain and allow peope to keep their earnings instead of overspending by £300 MILLION PER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here lie the ashes Of the Labour Party, Belgium arguably the most boring nation on earth but sensible enough to take on board the meaning of the ancient Chinese curse may YOU live in interesting times.
and now england have won the ashes, the recession is OVER.
it says so here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/aug/24/uk-recession-over-survey-suggests?commentpage=1
maybe there should be more cricket???
So forget the figures and the stats, it’s now down to a matter of opinion. Desperate, desperate stuff, and of course raving mad.
Zimbabwe never entered recession either.
Things must still be bad in Scotland then, not much chance of them qualifying for the World Cup, the Guardians analysis of current market trends is bizarre.
I’m sorry to say you might well be right DEC …
Especially with “Cam-Cam the Flim-Flam Man” as Party Leader ..
When will the Tories start behaving like proper Tories ? .. Cos until they do .. my vote will go elsewhere ..
New Labour is morphing into Blue Labour.
Same big Government and high taxes under Cameron.
I have asked for the real Tory party to stand up for some time now – alas no-one has.
UKIP for me.
UKIP if you want to, but the lady’s not for turning.
anyone but labour
Then that rules out David Cameron, the heir to Blair.
I’m going to be PM next year and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.
I haven’t a clue what I stand for and with this Nulabour abortion don’t know why I’m not at 85% in the opinion polls but who gives a swinging dick.
All ” Call me Dave” has to do is keep smiling,be charming and keep the “nut Jobs” in his party away from the media and he should succeed. Let’s face it if he can’t beat someone like Brown given his and Labour’s problems plus the recession plus rising unemployment plus the fact that almost everyone in the country hates Brown’s Guts then it’s a pretty poor show for “the Bullingdon Boy ” and mates
we love you dave.
Something old,something new,something borrowed,something blue Labour party.
Dead meat I say.
Agreed,Cameron better shit or get off the pot because the electorate won’t put up with much more bollocks from Westminster.
Like children Labour only like to do the nice things in life, giving out sweeties is easy
Yeah, a billion for Pakistan here, a couple of billion for Palestine there…..someone should point out that the tuck shop has been emptied.
These Danegeld payments aren’t working too well, are they?
WHY ! Do We Give Overseas Aid To Countrys That Can Afford To Develope Nuclear Weapons ? Is It Not Obvious to these Fuckwitt Mp’s That ,That Is Where The Money Is Going ?
Barmy Army’s song of the year…
Fucking morons.
How about that well crafted, intelligent, witty song that goes somthing like this………..
“Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army Barmy Army. Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army, Barmy Army Barmy Army” Lyrical genius.
Barmy Army, even Nick Robinson couldn’t spin this one.
I love that one.
The Barmy Army are just so, well, Barmy. Not pissed up fucktards at all.
Is that (or WAS that) his good eye?
so when do we expect the books to balance
About 2035. If we’re lucky.
just in time for even newer labour to get electable and screw it up agin
Even this gang of goons have to have learnt some harsh lessons from all the economic devastation……don’t they….?
Optimist !!!
You have to be, or you’d give up.
“A cow fell on me”, says Blunkett. Will he do absolutely anything to get himself in the News? Wonder if it was Blears, Harman or Rantzen.
I heard a story about a guy who was embarrassed because his father was improbably killed by a pig which fell through the roof (?) and landed on his head, he positively shunned any publicity.
With all these flying pigs about that can be a real danger.
How the fuck did he know what fell on him, something heavy with tits and has multiple stomachs, sounds like Jacqui Smith.
It could have been one of tatty mans flying butch lesbians.
Just rushed in for a look at lunchtime news and some lunch of course. I see gordon is still missing. Clegg is calling his silence ludicrous, Hague talks about his lack of leadership.
I get the feeling that gordon is pacing his living room, wringing his hands, saying “What can I say! what can I say!. If I say I had nothing to do with it – I’ll be lying and the SNP will expose me, and if I say I did help to make it happen I’ll be burnt toast with the Americans.”
Meanwhile sarah sits twittering about recipes for raspberry jam and coconut cookies.
What a lovely picture you paint, but where are the children? Are they out with nanny?
Perhaps someone has convinced the Dark Lord that the country might actually be better off leaderless, and he has Made It So.
After all, if we have no leader, he can’t speak and drop us even more in it than we already are.
I’m almost tempted to say “Long may this last”.
Sarah is trying to make sense out of the household bills, checks never sent off and a big pile of red final demands from the utility companies, mortgage (mortgage and re-mortgage) 98% negative equity on house.
Meanwhile its Gordon in the kitchen that’s cooking something up: its an Apricot Fool.
Or If He’s Been Anywhere Near Mangledbum A Spotted Dick !
Even the usually LabourCuddly BBC are getting exasperated and Emily Maitliss even committed a gross non-PC statement on the lunchtime news by referring to the Government in Westminster as the “English” government as in “And what do the Scottish Government make of the English Governments and its Prime Minsiter’s silence on the matter ?” She was quickly corrected by her colleague “British” government you mean ?
Anyway the BBC’s view is that whatever Brown does he’s shafted . He condones the release and he gets(to use the actual BBC phrase) “an excocet from the White House” or he condemns the decision to release Al-Megrahi and he gets accused of playing politics for Labour gain in Scotland. Hence the only option open to him – silence and pray for “divine intervention” altough the “Dark Lord” is also keeping a low profile so he can’t help Gordon much.
As a finale Emily smiles and says sweetly(I love that girl) “The emergency debate in the Scottish Parliament will be live at 2.30pm on the BBC News Channel”- everyone including Gordon will be glued to the set no doubt
Every Body Knows That B_liar, McMental And Mangledbum Are Behind This One And Just Like Everything Lie_Bore Do. It Goes Tits Up ! 13 Years And They Have Learnt Fuck All !
His tactic will be the Lisbon ploy.
Turn up to the Scottish parliament when everyone else has gone home, mumble something inaudible, release a press statement without a single verb or noun in it, go back home to see how the apricot fools coming along.
Makes a nice crumble too
I’d rather have a nibble of Emily’s flapjack.
I think you mean jack flaps
“I get the feeling that gordon is pacing his living room, wringing his hands, saying “What can I say! what can I say!. If I say I had nothing to do with it – I’ll be lying and the SNP will expose me, and if I say I did help to make it happen I’ll be burnt toast with the Americans.”
That’s quite scary nell, I was getting that feeling too.
The men in white coats are said to be standing by.
What The Umpires ?
That explains why thick as thieves is making himself scarce.

Come on Scott show some of that compassion you are famous for.
Err… yes Scott, that’s more or less what the drift of the joke is all about.
Brown’s a fucking nutter who likes boys.
Strangely enough, so am I.
BTW, lets get together and form a government, that way we can screw everybody.
Gordon’s making Labour voters look a bit stupid
All right minded people knew Brown is a liability but what must it take for the Labour die hards question their own judgment
Where is Brown? who is running the country? why is he taking a holiday when the country is at war and still in economic turmoil? why is he such a coward?

A lot of questions you’re asking today pootle. Let me try.
1} Margaret Beckett is running the country today. John McFall on tuesday, Angela Eagles on wednesday.. full list in the stranger’s bar HOC. All part of the everyone gets a prize school of new labour.
2} He isn’t on holiday as such. Lord M ordered him bound and gagged and locked in a cellar to see if the poll ratings improve without captain gaffe on the telly. So far they haven’t, but haven’t got worse so its a break even strategy.
3} Tough one. I think its something to do with being bullied at school.
Time he was drowned in a swimming pool.
Time for Michael Barrymore to host another party.

More would have enjoyed the Ashes if Zanulabour hadn’t tried to curry favour with Murdoch and let him take test cricket from terrestrial television.
Not sure how many watched it on Sky yesterday – a couple less than did in 2005.
It was on sky in 2005? The sky coverage puts the past BBC efforts to shame.
Is it now around £3.5 billion pounds per annum which goes to the BBC via the poll tax, and what do we get? wow! watch the London Marathon from your armchair and listen to an excitable ex-athlete telling us something about Effy Ogugu who is big in Ethiopia for some reason.
Really interesting and well written article.
Thanks!
I thought his left eye was the glass one – it seems to have more life in it than the other.
Loathsome swine.
Theres a vacancy as Head of the NHS in the Orkneys. I think Gordon would be good at that.
Nah. It’s really not far enough away.
What about the North Pole?
The shits not bloody coming here. I’ve work to do….
GORDON BROWN sighted on HUffington Post: No time to respond to the al magrahi scandal, yet he has time to post articles to Huffpo about…
….wait for it…
Womens’ rights…unbelievable.
“GORDON BROWN treats women Ministers as “female window dressing”, resigning Europe Minister Caroline Flint said last night in a parting shot aimed at destabilising the Cabinet reshuffle…
She wrote: “I am extremely disappointed at your failure to have an inclusive Government. You have a two-tier Government – your inner circle and then the remainder of Cabinet. Several of the women attending Cabinet – myself included – have been treated by you as little more than female window dressing.
“I am not willing to attend Cabinet in a peripheral capacity any longer.”
Allies of Mr Brown suggested Ms Flint was protesting too much, and said she was suffering from sour grapes having not been promoted. But her words highlight one of Mr Brown’s weaknesses, a perception that his Downing Street has a macho element and too few women have high-profile roles.” (Western Mail)
