The Mystery of the Missing McBride Emails
When Guido was on his summer holidays in France, Damian McBride gave an interview to the BBC’s Radio 5 Live and to the Guardian to try and draw a line under his Smeargate demise.
If you listen to the first minute and a half of that BBC interview he says at one point:
“… When I read back the emails I had errr written and I did that when Derek ahhh Draper called me and said that he thought his emails had been hacked into and errr we had a discussion about this, I thought and and he thought that the main issue was some emails that I had sent, err, about racism in the comments in the Guido Fawkes website.”
Now you may recall that Iain Dale and Guido both sent in Freedom of Information requests about the smear campaign directed at us from within Downing Street. Obviously Guido was aware of the existence of the emails (having said as much on Andrew Neil’s Daily Politics). The emails basically instructed Draper on how to frame and phrase the smear.
Damian has now publicly confirmed that he sent them (in February, when Draper started smearing Dale and Guido as racists). So why did the Cabinet Office produce some of the emails regarding Dale, but not the ones regarding Guido? Guido only got emails sent by Draper, not the emails sent by McBride. Guido has re-submitted an FoI to the Cabinet Office asking again for the emails Damian has now publicly confirmed he sent.
He’s history.
But balls aint
Yet….
What goes around……….
Won’t be long before he’s smarmed his way on to the Board of Governors and onwards and upwards through local authority education, then local authority leadership….back to the cabinet office circa 2020. Makes you want to puke.
mathew Parris on radio 4 NOW,…..talking about D Hannan.
Are you suggesting that guido emails had balls penciled in ??
That would be fitting
Who’s McBride ? Was he involved in the Expenses scandal ?
you tory c’unts have got more chatter than the fucking taliban.
hush now cripples while top boy speaks: first things first; I will not have a word said against auntie dale. she is a bit of of misguided fishwife but she is basically a good hearted old dear.
and on the point of racism I should admit an interest.
thick as thieves is an anti-racist and anti fascist hero. I see it as something of a duty to keep the threads clean of nazi bn p scum and other assorted fascists.
when I find them I cave their fucking skulls in and splash their brains across the thread for all to see!
I have chased away an army of such trolls. the really dim ones who try to stay alway end up either making c’unts of themselves or getting a good fucking bashing.
oh, and thick as thievesTM features exclusively on order-order. no other site has access to my genius and my natural ability to keep the cripples in order and keep threads clean from racist ignorant scum.
so the racism stuff is self evidently untrue, which means ofcourse it was only ever a distraction. which in turn means it must have been designed to distract from a lie.
note to mr mcbride: OH FUCKING DEARY DEARY ME!
YOU HAVE BEEN CAUGHT OUT BY TOP BOY MCBRIDE HO HO HO!
YOU FUCKING LYING C’UNT!
YOU FUCKING LIAR, WHY LIE EH?
YOU SCUM YOU BELONG TO TOP BOY NOW YOU BITCH!
I OWN YOU, YOU FAT LYING FUCKING SLAG DANCE BITCH
YOU ARE DANCING TO MY FUCKING TUNE NOW YOU C’UNT.
thick as thieves, can you tell me what you’ve been taking, so that I can avoid like the plague?
Having read that load of crap that you wrote, I can only say that your handle should be “thick as pig-shit” – far more fitting
sasquatch shut your mouth you slag! don’t give top boy the large one you fucking lightweight.
if it is drugs you are after you scrounging c’unt then you should ask gideon or dave, they’re a pair of tokers, they might sort you out.
even if I did have anything I would throw it away rather than give it to a tit like you. just to watch you get down on your knees on the floor like a crackhead junkie licking your poison from the carpet.
you dirty bastard.
Let’s get you back into your favourite cage, now Thicky. You really shouldn’t embarrass yourself infront of all these lovely people. And PLEASE don’t miss tomorrow’s appointment.
176. I just skip right over TaT’s tut. You won’t miss a thing.
you are taking your rejection from the thick as thieves fan club very badly taffy.
please don’t cry.
Oh don’t tease the thought of that little shit Balls being brought down that blinking little face sweating and stammering in front of a camera is too much to hope for.
I’m afraid this story is already yesterdays news though. It might be damaging but Balls is safe.
I’m hoping in 2010 Balls will suffer the Michael Portillo moment and lose his seat. It’s not on the Tory hit list but: he’s an unpopular outsider in his constituency, the Labour vote is floating over to a certain nationalist party. A 14.5% swing and it’s done.
It’s only the prospect of a Portaloo moment that keeps me going.
I feel cheered now
“upwards through local authority education”
Not if the Tories abolish them he won’t.
He’s history – perhaps. But he still needs to brought to book.
New Labour. Smearing – it’s what we do.
Vote BΝP!
It’s the only answer, you cunt. Either that or UKIP!
All other parties support EU membership – the way to dusty death.
So you reckon I support the B&P or UKIP do you?
You’re wrong.
Excellent, is that the new BNP slogan?
“Vote BNP, you Hoon”
It might just work…. it has a certain appeal.
Smear – it’s in Labour’s D-N-A.
We need a smear test to remove the cancer called The Labour Party.
The test is emphatically positive. What’s the cure?
Brown should be impeached.
Shotgun up the arse.
There’s no cure – it’s terminal.
Cool, here`s hoping brown is in them as well :)
I’m not holding my breath, but it would be just peachy to see the absolute proof…
The whole thing sounds very mealy mouthed and squirmy
Sounds like me after my recent proctological procedure. Arse-op to you.
There’s too many lordies round here.
Oh My God this is the biggest story ever! More about this please!
From little acorns grow big trees with plenty of nuts. One lie leads to another. Don’t be so sarcaustic
Was collecting acorns this afternoon, and my companion, a very elderly French lady, told me that during the war the French made coffee out of acorns. She said it didn’t taste good. Roasted then ground up, the shells were fed to the pigs. Thought somebody might be interested.
bc, I went to Archangel on business in the early 1990s and Russians were still making their coffee out of acorns. Someone had also recorded Chris Tarrant’s Capital breakfast show as that was all we heard played at full blast at dinner in the hotel, together with the traffic reports. How we cried into our vodka and wished we weren’t there.
They still do that on Virgin Trains.
This technique was invented in Germany. At the closing stages of the war when all hope was lost, they consoled themselves with this brew which was called ‘ersaz cafe’ (meaning literally “substitute coffee” and made from roasted acorns ground down).
The horrific privations suffered by the German civilians during 1944/45 were among the most terrible of the entire war.
122 – Yes, and chicory too… think the Krauts just called it ‘ersatz Kaffee’.
Interesting thing is, that, sixty years later, 90% or so of the population is drinking ersatz Kaffee – Nescafe or Maxwell House…
Don’t get me started on tea-bags!
It’s a very interesting subject, thanks for that info. I shall pursue the eating habits of the French during/just after the war with my friend.
In the late forties I can remember drinking a brand called “Camp Coffee” a liquid blend of coffee and chicory.
Probably better than acorn coffee
Camp Coffee

@An Historian – true, true, but the Ruskies got sweetly screwed. I guess that’s the incalculable benefit of living in Blighty, that space is limited and in comparison to virtually anywhere else, esp Ruskyland, tiny. A tiny island where government finds it incredibly difficult to be the enemy of the people – Labour tried it and it is perfectly conceivable that this is their last stint at government ever. Come on SNP!
‘camp coffee’ – is that what Queen Mandlebum drinks?
I can see the nuts. Where’s this tree?
An Historian at 165 – I hate to be pedantic but it was ‘ersatz’ – and it was already in Germany by 1943 when my father was taken prisoner of war. For some reason he doesn’t seem to like acorns now….
Hugh, their ersatz coffee may taste like paralysed piss but they make great DE razors!
Historian, who gives a fuck what the Germans suffered.
They should all have been made to shower in Buchenwald like the thousands of jews were made to do.
There were plenty of innocent Germans you know! I hope an entire nation isn’t found guilty for the sins of their governments. Otherwise we’re in the shit!

Probably the same bloke who accidentally shredded all of Bliar’s expenses documents just before they would have been made public.
Either that or someone will find some highly imaginative spurious ’security’ reason why those emails can’t be accessed via the FOIA.
who gives a fuck. fairies in a tiz. foaming Tiber now!
Is that what it’s all about? Perhaps DC is frightened of Hannan.
Not as frightened as Broon though!
Why do you think the Liebour spin machine are going for Hannan during the quiet summer? Obviously nothing to do with the fact that he made Gordoom look like a complete cunt in front of lots of important (to him) people in the EU Parliament…
they fear his EU wrath and his crack team of a conglomeration of oddballs and the unimaginable power he wields from his mighty position in the EU commission on fisheries.
Gorgon needs nobodies help to look a complete c’unt unless you hadn’t noticed. Though Mandelscum is very grateful to Hannan for all the “eccentric” gaffes he makes against his own party.
the idea that every Newspaper and News programme in the land that report Hannans words and adventures with his ego, is all Liebore spin, is amusing but bollox.
No, ’tis I; Hugh Givesafuck. You tories are tossers…
I wouldn’t hold your breathe Guido.
The last thing that the Brown & Mandy media love-fest needs is another bout of enforced indignant denial, reluctant admission, subsequent climbdown and usual humiliation.
This whole rotten lot are in the sticky stuff because of their stupidity and cupidity.
As the Great Lady once said…the only trouble with socialism is that one day you run out of other people money to spend!
Real eyes realise real lies…
Go get him Guido; bayonet the wounded…
He’s on school holidays and the intel boys can’t crack his sophisticated password… err..’McBride’.
You just know that if one of these idiots does an interview that they will place both feet into their mouths. They really cannot help themselves. And Nu liebour is supposed to be the party of spin!
7.20 into the interview he’s asked how he came to have the nickname McPoison.
NuLabor are like ferrets in a sack,priceless.
Don’t just listen to the first few minutes, this interview is fascinating.
What a pair of twats McBride & Draper appear to be.
Amateur slimeballs
How the fuck does anybody get to look like that aged 34?
If he made a pact with Little Lord Fondleboy he deserves a fucking rebate.

Go back and read the last couple of weeks’ posts. You’ll realise that if you yodle up the wrong end you get an Alpine echo.

It’s NICKNAME (nothing, surprisingly, to do with Old Nick) but, apparently, from anglo-saxon ‘eke-name’

I may know a young lady (from my youth) who let me have her look at her beaver for a Babycham & a bag of nuts…..
Hugh you shoud’ve asked for t’brown ale
salted peanuts?
Don’t salted peanuts have human rights?
36 Hugh, with a little trimming (not the beaver, your words) we could have a Limerick
I knew a young lady from youth
Whose words were both truthful and sooth.
‘Is that Babycham foaming?’
I asked, in the gloaming.
No! My hoon, you …
george they were actually dry roasted…however, with a little bit of thought & application, they could have quite easily been ‘ready salted’…..
However, I wouldn’t have ruddy ate them!
Nipples like Scammel Wheels nuts..she may have had!
It’s about time for Hugh and his Spitfire to turn up again isn’t it?
would have done earlier..but the Mrs was next to me :-)
Ah yes – a bit difficult to explain.
Clearly the present Mrs Jardon does not realise that she is Mrs Jardon ;-)
Surpringly, I don’t log on using my actual name….
I didn’t make reference to my spitfire either (she’s heard the tales)..as it tends to get her a little bit vexed….
She once asked how I knew a bird who said ‘hi’ to me in the local Asda…the honest reply (that she’d given me a blowey in the women’s loos in the local pub) went down like a bucket of cold sick!
Discretion, old chap…discretion.
Classy one there, Mr Jardon…
@Hugh:
“Surpringly, I don’t log on using my actual name….”
Indeed – I had already guessed your real surname is Jampton!
Schoolboy error Mr Jardon – never ever explain. Gadd zooks!
Aus..Close but no cigar, it’s actually Cock.
Sorry D…but, I do find that being open & upfront on such matters is good for the soul.

As I don’t have much experience of shit stained tramps underwear, would you care to expand your thesis.
Hi everyone…I’m here.
Phuquit. You needed to address that request to Mr Jardon (above) – serial mechanic and Spitfire pilot. I’m afraid my only close encounters with a Gentleman of the Road are limited to observing the extraction of one from a South Yorkshire waterway in my youth. The unfortunate itinerant being several days the wrong side of his demise, would have provided a compromised and unrepresentative sample.
Er, he said “Thesis” – not the other thing. Sorry, Mark….
I believe that said underwear would have an aroma resembling an earth closet filled to the brim with fetid shite.
The opening of a packet of pseudo Planters dry roasted nuts would have a similar aroma….perhaps.
Whilst the the contents of the aforementioned undergarments would have (I presume) a thick layer of cack that was dry & crispy on the outside, yet warm & moist on the inner. Not unlike an armidillo (or however it’s spelt) possibly!
Chairman of the Bored – says
“As the Great Lady once said…the only trouble with socialism is that one day you run out of other people money to spend!”
It’s just so bloody true !! And nothing will change it !!
Who ends up getting shafted each time? More often than not, the very people they are trying to “help”.
Trouble is the prats vote for them every time because they’re told they’re going to be helped by kindly socialists with good intentions.
It takes 10 years to find out the good intentions were basically lies so that the
Commissars could arrange lifestyles they would never otherwise achieve.
The successors to the kindly socialists get in the neck for bringing the dream to an end, and it takes 10 years of hard graft to sort things out
The Commissars step forward again and promise Endless Footy and Jam for All, and so it goes on, an endless cycle.
The incredible aspect is that the Commissars are supported by supposedly intelligent lifeforms in the Guardian and Aljabeeba. But as in most crime investigations, I suppose if you look at who benefits, perhaps their support is understandable.
But wouldnt you need a country to have a whole generation really retarded or uneduacated so as not to see through this bollocks.
@253
So you must understand Labour’s education policy now?
that should be @235 obviously, oops.
I’ll tell you who DOESN’T get shafted every time and that’s the Hoons that periodically bring it in.

Great find Steve…I am well impressed. I did credit her though…some magnificent quotes from the greatest of the great. (A Grammar schoolgirl too)
The article is almost 34 years old and it is so current with Culpability Brooon’s shambolic and temporay stint in the chair draws to its inevitable and shameful end.
For those unwilling to go the whole bandwidth (or some such expression):
Mrs. Margaret Thatcher
I would much prefer to bring them down as soon as possible. I think they’ve made the biggest financial mess that any government’s ever made in this country for a very long time, and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people’s money. It’s quite a characteristic of them. They then start to nationalise everything, and people just do not like more and more nationalisation, and they’re now trying to control everything by other means.
She said this how many years ago?
We still have not learned?
google is your friend ;-)
Bloody good quote from Mrs T though. The best recent one on the same subject was from Hannan’s famous speech at Broon:
“Prime Minister you cannot carry on forever squeezing the productive bit of the economy in order to fund an unprecedented engorgement of the unproductive bit.”
What is the penalty for intentionally providing a dishonest or misleading response to a FoI request?
A job at number 10 Downing street
A job for life at number 10 Downing Street
…or a seat in the House of “Lords” (perhaps you have to present fraudulent mortgage applications as well in order to get that).
$23 trillion to my mates.
Bugger all it seems… from another FOIA request…
Shame. I was hoping it would be 10 years in a labour camp or something like that.
Although of course members of the Inner Party will have an exemption of some sort.
To deliberately lie or block a request can, I believe, be anything up to 5 years.
Whichever Civil servant signed any letter better have a “Get Out Of jail Free” card to try and mitigate the damage, although (as we all know) “i was only following orders” is not considered a valid excuse.
Thanks for that. Fingers crossed.
You should get in touch with the FoI commissioner. You’ve got proof that your FOI request was not dealt with under the law.
Guido,
I have also asked an FOI request concerning John Major’s complaint about McBride’s behaviour.
The response was due in May and despite chasing on numerous occasions the Cabinet Office has just fobbed me off and never provided the information I requested.
Curious – they haven’t even written to tell me that there is no written record of conversations. See the e-mail trail here:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/complaint_to_gus_odonnell_from_j#outgoing-31702
Jonathan – as Anon 24 suggests above, I think it is about time for you to take this to the next level and contact the FOI Commissioner.

Australian / Nell
Thanks for that – drilled down website and found this:
http://www.ico.gov.uk/complaints/freedom_of_information.aspx
They could not produce the e-mails because they are competent to do so?
what the fuck are you on about? it’s all Greek to me.
Έαν θελης, δυνασαι Σαταναν έξβαλλειν
likewise chalkie.
Obviously!
It’s biblical advice and encouragement to Guido, just replace the reference to Satan with McBride (same thing really):
Έαν θελης, δυνασαι McBride έξβαλλειν
“You too, can cast out McBride”!
That’s more like it.
Aussie with an ‘ology. They come along as often as….England winning the Ashes!
Well that makes perfect sense now.
He…..y’know, sounds very….y’know….dry-mouthed…to the extent that some people might…..y’know……doubt the y’know……core veracity of what he’s y’know…saying – even now. Y’know?
Our school caretaker used to have plenty to do before the end of summer hols. I suppose they’ve got some of those new-fangled time saving machines in N.London nowadays.
Judging by the number of “Awaiting internal review” and “Response overdue” requests, the Cabinet Office is crap at answering FOI requests:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/body/cabinet_office
They boil my piss.
The Information Commissioner’s Office site states:
” Enforcement will be taken against public authorities that repeatedly fail to meet their responsibilities under the act.”
It would good to see enforcement action taken against no.10.
http://www.ico.gov.uk/
A useful quote to keep, nell. Perhaps Jonathan (above) should throw that one back at the Commissioner if he still doesn’t get a satisfactory response.
What’s all this FOI shit? It’s so much easier just to hack into their email accounts and get it oneself.
lol you owe me a new laptop
Sir Humphrey will attend to it. Won’t you Humphrey?
At the apprropriate juncture, Minister. In the fullness of time.
But Humphrey, we made an election promise to open the books. Open Government, that’s what we’re all about, isn’t it?!
Of course, Minister. A laudable aim, a worthy stance. But there are administrative procedures that must be followed; things must be done properly, Minister. We cannot just be handing out our files willy-nilly to all and sundry, Minister. We must keep proper records of our records, Minister, and that will need more staff, a new office block, proper equipment. These things do not happen overnight, Minister.
(You didn’t know Sir Humphrey was secretly an engineer, did you!)
156 Sir engineer – Lord Engineer! Isambard Kingdom Brunel salutes you.
Can’t we just cut to the chase, drag these bastards out and shoot the f*****g lot!
A vote is the more civil way to go about it , Put them in the bb house now that i would watch
A bullet is too quick for them. The English have some history on this. Think Wiliam Wallace. They are either Scots or allies of Scots so, think back to your history. Perhaps, with this lot, Vergil’s vision of The River Tiber, foaming with much blood might come to pass on the River Thames, with the remains of the ZaNu Lie Bore government members, with perhaps the honourable exception of Frank Field but Fred Goodwin can take his place.
Never, in the history of human politics have so many hated the few with such venom. I’m Scottish myself, and I’d gladly hang draw and quarter the lot of them.
Guido, is your sign “This lamp post is reserved for…………..MP” still available?
we can vote after we shoot them
I would like to use a magic shrinking machine to render them very small and then make them live on the island on the Lower Lake at Waad Towers. On special days such as 4 May (the Accession of the Blessed Lady Margaret) I would invite some friends over for falconry, with the present Cabinet as bagged quarry. Just imagine the joy of sending a peregrine into a 100-mph stoop and the tiny, terrified squeak as it footed little Ed Balls, simultaneously scrunching him and carrying him high into the sky…..

With regret, I suspect that the emails will be long gone. Still, no harm stirring the pot a bit!
Could it be that a certain one-eyed son-of-the-manse is maybe mentioned in the e-mails? Oh. PLEASE, let it be so!
In that case it will be redacted
Yes, my hands are together: Oh God I beseech thee, may the emails reference Snotty. I’ll even go to church – if I can find one that hasn’t been turned into flats and rented to Somalians.

So he was giving an interview to the media in an attempt to draw a line under Smeargate (some home) and in doing so shot himself in the foot by confirming that he had written some more emails, this time about how to use racism to smear guido’s web?
Presumably he was going to plant some of the comments here first , just like the labour trolls do, and then use them as evidence.
And gordon regarded this piece of beetle dung as a spin doctor beyond compare??
No wonder this government are coming to a bad end.
Mmmmm. coming to a bad end.
Point that bad end in my direction.
You know all this innuendo about Mark Oaten leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Foy in the County of Herefordshire near to Ross on Wye and just across the river from Hole in the Wall, Old Gore, Just North of the Brampton Abbots and Phocle Green and South of Fiddler’s Green, – you couldn’t make it up – its all true !!!!!!
Do village people live there?
Foy – little – village -herefordshire – near river wye- get it right man!
‘is coming to a bad end’.
A sticky end, more likely.
in a cottage ?
Interesting that as nulab have imploded, being accused of the various ‘crimes’ that they use to use as a scare tactic, nhs denial, racism, just seem laughable.
we may be a slightly scrofulous lot here, but unlike the majority of their client vote, we haven’t fucked off en masse to the b np !!!
Which school is this despicable man McBride working at now?
Is he really a fit person to be influencing the young?
it’s o.k. it’s Approved.
Is he really a fit person to be influencing the young?
that’s my job, hands-on. no Chalkies though.
Gosh, you mean the Cabinet Office isn’t telling the whole truth????? I can’t believe it! The Cabinet Office trying to hornswoggle us?
Good on you Guido, get after the bastards. However, I’m not laying money on your succeeding. After all, following the politicisation of the Civil Service it is now just an extension of the NuLiebour (so-called) government, so don’t hold your breath. But if you can nail the Testicular One in the process then that really would be a result!
He smears. That’s what he does…

So where did you send it ?
To Lord Mandelson of FOI?
Why has no reporter run a story that McBride’s girlfriend, Balshan Izzet works as a press officer for Balls and Brown.
It is a scandal that these scum treat the electorate with such contempt.
McPoison has a girlfriend???
He’s a slave to pulchritude…

Scroll down a bit. Looks a bit of a two-bagger.

To be fair McBride is not exactly handsome Dan himself is he? He looks like a bloated alky and is on the road to becoming a land whale. A bit like his mate Dolly.
I would say an eight-pinter at least.
Someone should get a better phone of her, that Mail pic is the only image on Google against her name.
OK Eng I know I am going to regret asking this but what? is a two-bagger?
“A better phone of her” – oops.
Maybe I should have said a better photo of her, rather than the only one out there which is of her on the phone…!
Oh heck, nell – wish you hadn’t asked! There is no polite way of answering this, so I shall quote my trusty copy of Roger’s Profanisaurus.
“Two bagger – n – Someone so ugly that two bags are required in order to go quim-wedging with them; one over their head and one over yours, in case theirs falls off.”
For heaven’s sake don’t ask for a definition of ‘quim-wedging’!
Eng – learn something every day-
**** laughter*****
And then there is the dreaded ‘Three-bagger’. One over her head, one over yours (wise precaution) and one to be sick in afterwards.
A Yank told me that their equivalent is the ‘Coyote’ when, on waking to find your arm trapped under a real horror, you gnaw it off rather than risk waking her….and the ‘Double Coyote’ when you gnaw off your your other arm, just in case it happens again.
Is she by any chance what breaks the direct and current link between the Government and Mc Bride?
“No we have no current links with Mc Bride” (all the information is passed through his girlfriend).
Somebody should make an FOI request for her e mails, (which will doubtless be deleted as we speak).
I thought data could be retrieved from computers even if ‘deleted’ and ‘waste bin deleted’ or are the relevant hard drives going to be found to have failed simultaneously and been replaced?
feel free to moderate if inappropriate – I was only curious!

You couldn’t make it up…..
No chance of it making the tv news, even if they were independent. Wonder if anyone caught it on a mobile?
+++laugh+++
It would make a good comedy sketch.
What a fool she made herself look and what fools she made balls and gordon look., though that in truth’s not difficult.
Clearly she and damian are two of a kind.

The Fact Guido Fawkes had the Labour spin doctors so rattled that they felt the need to have their own ‘Attack’ blog is wonderful.
It was a bonus that Draper/Mcbride choked on their own vomit as well.

Strange that A levels are ever on the rise, when many young people are virtually illiterate. How so?
of course they are on the rise. this year there was an increase of 195.8% of pupils getting higher marks. this means that 341% of young people have passed examinations this year which proves government policy is working. we aim to improve this further so that next time 900% of pupils who take exams will pass them and go on to university where they will be sitting 5 to a seat to study their favorite subjects and smoke dope at the same time.

Are you suggesting that MP’s have private secretary’s, at or expense, as well?? – what on earth for?!!
I have heard that an MP’s Private Secretary becomes his Permanent Secretary once she has been screwed on his desk.
Does that answer your question Nell?
Moley, correction. Replace “she” with “he”.
MP private secretary.
I wonder if you may think you are being ironic here. If so you would, I fear, be wrong. If you check out The Tax Payers’ Alliance book, ‘The Bumper Book of Government Waste 2008 – Brown’s Squandered Billions’ (Elliott & Rotherham), p. 25; under the heading Department for Education and Skills (DfES)*, you will see that “According to official statistics, an impressive 102% of all 3 years olds are in nursery school”.

i tried very hard not to laugh at PHill Woolas interview , it was all to much like a cookery program “well you see there is some of this and pinch of that bake over the medium term and voilla you should have a settled population according to my book”
Only a few months ago pop of 70million was being bandied about as ok , now Phil says he doesnt think it will , note the word think, he could have used maybe .
All rather lite , tin foil hat for Mr woolas , i would have asked him what are the circimstances for civil war and would he like to be known as the minister who pulled out his hankey , washed his hands , and tucked into a pleasing contental sald washed down with a witty red , as the voters began to see him as a liar
Didn’t know that. Immigration going down? Who fiddled the figures? Just as well I was around the BBC at the time. That made me look good.
Phil Woolas – I saw what you did now go and sit on the naughty step and think about how you’ve let down me;your class;your school and most of all yourself. AND stop blubbing this instance or I shall get really cross with you on ‘live TV’ – AGAIN
He’s probably an immigrant himself? He sounds like a cross between prezza and Aintworthajot……… loses all the ‘ing endings of words and conversation with him just go round and round and round in circles getting nowhere. Wasn’t there a song with that title? He’s a deplorable little squirt. Good luck Joanna you just stick with him, and use him.
Guido I think you may find those e-mails have been “rectified”. They never happened. They don’t exist. They are deceased. They are ex e-mails.

Who do these so called Financial watchdogs think they are ?
The British Public will not stand for this!
They love their Banks and can’t wait to send all their Taxpayer money to us since we are clearly blameless and suffering terribly in a difficult time.
Financial watchdog chief backs tax on banks
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hEAGcUcQb-qRfbQ-q2Rv4IicD0NA
“Lord Turner also Wednesday criticised some activities of London’s financial sector as “socially useless” and questioned whether it has grown too large.”
This is an appalling slur! Doesn’t this man know how many yachts some of us have had to sacrifice this year alone ?
I think you’re an idiot.
1/ Labour party sees problem and bingo TAX IT is their only answer.
2/ Banks will all be taxed the same so they’ll just pass it on to customers.
3/ And this one’s the worst. Is government REALLY the best judge of “socially useful”? I’d say NO, this merely says alot about Turner. This is Labour parties scorched earth at it’s most obvious.
4/ Turner was the idiot who ruined pensions.
Excuse me I think you’ll find it was Grodon Brun who dun for the pensions but only for the sukkers what didn’t werk for the guvmnant.
Har Har to them !
Turner recommended “simplification” which meant maintaining two contradictory and incompatible pensions systems and which was anything but simple.
I think you’re an idealogue and an idiot
john major astarted with the pensions fucking cripple
Wouldn’t it be better if the money/bonus they earaned was spentid in the shops and car dealerships in the Uk rather than that income being taxed and transformed into social security benefits transfered abroad? Just asking.
I may be an idiot but thanks to the taxpayers I am a very well paid idiot. So who is the bigger idiot? The Banks or the suckers shilling for their interests ? Are they getting paid to suck the cocks of the Banks ? It’s not like the Banks and the City aren’t unused to prostitution from this or any other government.
The public love me, RBS and all the rest so will defeat this communist attempt to deprive us of our lovely Bonuses.
And far from welcoming this you’ll be delighted to hear that master of Economic affairs Darling has piped up with “No such taxes are under consideration, aides to the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, have reportedly said.”
So you the might and economic rigour of Brown, Darling and this government backing up the your position and the Banks.
Or are you seriously trying to tell me Darling is a useless corrupt twat who will find his way into a lovely city job after he gets booted out ? The very notion! poppycock.
No, the financial sector will defeat this easily. As we know one thing for sure and it’s that the City and the Banks don’t pay a blind bit of attention to watchdogs. And look how well that turned out.
fucking cripple. the pensions scandal started in John Majors time
SKRAWWWWK! KRIPPLEKRIPPLEKRIPPLE!
“Guido has re-submitted an FoI to the Cabinet Office asking again for the emails Damian has now publicly confirmed he sent.”

Keep at them and keep complaining until they deliver the goods!
He sounds exactly like Jacqui Smith – the way he puts things. Slightly deeper voice though. Are they related?

Come on Beast, out with it, you really don’t like him do you?
I’ve asked this question lots of times. Why do women involve themselves with such dreadful, soulless, unattractive males like gordon, prezza and damian. The answer that comes back every time is ‘power’.
These women must have a very low opinion of themselves that they will deprive themselves of a good man who will give them a stable long term relationship full of affection, loyalty, fun and support to settle for these poor excuses for manhood in order to access some illusory, transitory goal that power actually is.
Not really I prefer the Cavinist, Scottish rectitude of rugger playing, rugged courageous academic historian types.
Who are you having an affair with then?
Poor gordon.
He feels he needs to keep telling us about his moral compass, his childhood brought up in moral rectitude in the manse, his immense honesty, his agonising problems of always having to tell the ‘truth’ (as he sees it) and on and on…………. as though if he doesn’t keep telling us we shan’t believe it of him.
I wonder why that is???
206 Nell “…the louder he talked of his honour, the faster we counted the spoons…”
It is socialist, corrupt and secretive SO AUDIT THE FUCKING FED NOW!
I first came to this blog Easter-time when the damian mcbride story was breaking. I couldn’t believe that government was being so evil and came on here expecting to find it all a spoof, a put-up job so to speak.
Of course I didn’t – I found that this labour government was even worse than was being reported in the media – and I’ve stayed and I’ve listened and I’ve learned loads since , and I’ve just got angrier and angrier at the people who are supposed to be governing and supposed to be honorable , and aren’t doing either.
Nell,I don’t want to put you under pressure but you have been nominated to research the expenses of MEP Dan the Man Hannan.
Come on Nell,you can do it.
Indeed I can – I think MEP’s expenses are more obscene than MP’s but then I’m no fan of the EUSSR anyway.
We have a long way to go to get this bliar/gordon eu/world that has developed over the last 12 years back onto a ’spend what you earn’ basis.
Here’s the first link. As I find others I’ll put them on.
Thanks to everyone the other night who taught me how to do ‘links’
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1189772/DANIEL-HANNAN-MEP-No-questions-receipts-cash-courtesy-EU.html
And little will change Nell with the Beeb watching NuLiebour’s backs for them and the newspapers now almost incapable of undertaking proper, investigative journalism – with the excepetion of the expenses scandal of course – a rare beacon of light in an otherwise dark and shady world.
Hence the rise of blogs. Like all things, there are good and bad, and one has to use one’s intelligence and common sense, but to echo nell’s experience, I’ve learnt much here, and hope to continue learning.
One thing that has surprised me is the mendacity of some on the left of politics, and the cynicism of some of the ‘trolls’. That possibly is a reflection of my political naivety. I do now see how a moderately disinterested proleteriat can be manipulated, and the willingness to do so by the current government angers me deeply.
Well we are not a disinterested proletariat now are we Eng.?
Poor Labour – losing the internet battle since damian’s plans for redrag went down in flames. Well done Guido!!!!
Agreed, nell. Rather more ‘informed and engaged’ proles, now.
Another advantage to this blog – it is known that the main political parties monitor it. For the first time in my life, I feel that I can express my thoughts on the subjects Guido posts (and others!), and that people in authority, or aspiring to it, get to see them. I have long held opinions, but I have never before felt that I have had a route to express them.
For that, thanks, Guido.
Nell we don’t get angry,we get even.
You get an A* in the post Modern Enlightenment.
The above A* awarded to nell (179)
Well Thanks!
I never got any O or A Levels. I left school at 15 being a working class kid that no-one ever thought was worth anything.

Former NHS finance chief struck off by ACCA
http://www.accountancyage.com/accountancyage/news/2248568/former-nhs-finance-chief-struck
Does that count as a cut to “skools ‘n’ ospitals” then?
No, it counts as an increase in spending because his fraud turned a ten million pound NHS Trust loss into a one million pound profit.
“The trust would have posted a £1m profit for 2005/2006 if the false valuations had not been discovered, but when the true figures emerged the trust was in a £10m deficit.”
Pressure to meet Government targets was blamed.
It could easily be only the tip of the iceberg.
What’s weirdest is they are booking an 11Million pound increase in land costs as a profit!
Very dodgy.
Is it true the Grenadiers made a profit last year? Why would we expect an NHS trust to make a profit but not a Guards regiment or the West Midlands Constabulary?

He who laughs last just doesn’t get it.
Don’t worry, it’ll all come out in the wash.
In 2010 after the tories get in they’ll set up some kind of unofficial find-out-what-labour/bbc-has-done-and-publish-it-all tsar.
I vote for Richard Branson to be the shit-finder-in-chief.
There’ll be 13 years worth of constant lies, smearing, fraud, and negligence to be published, which the tories will happily do, and after that labour/bbc will both be consigned to the dustbin permanently.
The shredders will be very busy prior to the election, as will the bbc rewriting of their historic news items, but there’ll still be a trail that’ll easily be big enough to destroy labour/bbc completely.
As long as the BBC and their gravy train, called the license fee, is consigned to the dustbin. l
labour is already there!!!!
Unfortunately even if Labour is in the dustbin, their client state of dependants, pretty much the whole of Great Britain north and west of the Watford Gap will vote them in again, so they can keep their handouts coming.
Sadly I’ve seen these cockroaches crawl out of the dustbin before, and they’ll have a good go at doing it again, so that Lord Mandlebum of Foy can keep the style of life to which he is accustomed.
(Oh I forgot he’s a Lord now so he’ll just caryy on regardless anyhow)
Depressing isn’t it.
It would be fun if Mandelslime renounced his peerage, stood in the election and was beaten into second or third place.
“Jobcentre Plus is three doors down, Peter.”
I’d love to be a retailler or a hotellier and get Lordy on the phone asking for something. ‘Hello, Lordy here. Have you a such and such or a room, please? “We did have but seeing as its you we haven’t. F off”
dustbin. 2 ” I accept Liebour rubbish to.”
This would be nice, but the likelihood is that Blair’s Air (aka Call me Dave) will just carry on where Gordon left off.
He’s that wet.
He seems to ahhh, be a bit of an errrr idiot. To put it nicely.
On the plus side CmD is probably better company than Gordon. Not that that matters to most of us, but hey we’ve got to have something to look forward to, a sociable cove in charge instead of Soshalist one..
I’m not so sure. There was a brief flash of steel from Cameron when the expenses scandal broke which completely wrong-footed Broon, and his speeches both to win the party leadership, and in response to Darling’s latest budget where both strong. It’s no bad thing to keep your powder dry, especially when dealing with opponents as slippery as the current party of government. I suspect that when the election is called, and when he has won it, we may see a rather tougher side to Cameron.
I hope you’re right Mr Engineer. I console myself that perhaps Cameron is playing a clever game, as you say keeping his ammo dry, but he doesn’t seem to say very conservative things.
But I suppose politicians have to get elected first, and perhaps he is trying not to frighten the horses.
The fiendishly devious part of NulLebor’s machinations is that by giving everyone prizes and handouts (like for example everyone gets 5 A grade GCEs) is that whoever tries to call time on the whole ridiculous charade is seen as a mean spirited Nasty.
I suppose this is the corner CmD is trying to fight from.
There, I’ve warmed to him in 5 minutes.
So, ‘Never mind the quality, feel the width.’ – or (King Lear) ‘I shall do such things – what they are I know not yet…’: vote me in, and I will be all the things you want! Just sign the cheque: we’ll fill in amount later!’
Cameron’s main problem at the moment is that his opponents do not fight fair – they tend to play the man, not the ball. The main news feed, the BBC, is institutionally lefty as well. So he has to play them at their own game to wrong-foot them or silence them, whilst allowing the ‘mavericks’ like Hannan some rein to keep the faithful on board. I think Cameron is playing a canny game – well, I hope so, anyway.
The thing about them is it will be chums first and everybody else second. If he had the best interests for the nation it would be obviously the other waay round but it ain’t ‘cos he snubbed Wheeler, Davies and Spock ears and has his number two on a yaught, yuaght, luxury boat with the rest of his chums including Lordy. That’s the impression anyhow.
Eng, I thnk you are right again.
cameron should just let Labour get on with their in-fighting and ever more ridiculous attempts to smear any one who stands in the way.
Don’t reveal the policies until it is too late for the scum to steal it for themselves.
cameron just has to appear to be on the side of the electorate, listening and metting the people.
When was the last time Gordon Brown actually met a member of the public who was not a Labour activist, a child or recipient of significant benefits or government aid?
Fair comment, Engineer. McGroom at (385) you are bob on. As fast as Diamond Dave puts out a policy statement (or at least a good idea for one) you betcha Broon announces something similar…
“cameron just has to appear to be on the side of the electorate, listening and metting the people.” He doesn’t need to appear to be. Mostly, he is. He is the MP for this constituency and a good one. Before him we had the odious and useless Sean Woodward and before that the excellent Douglas Hurd. Like Hurd, Cameron bothers to do the local job well.
As for Broon, he lies low… He wasn’t nicknamed McCavity for nothing…
Oh yes! That prospect brings joy to me heart. Labour’s plummeting polls are almost unprecedented (see Voting Intention trends from ukpollingreport.com). Gordon Brown is shifting himself and Labour closer and closer to the blast furnace. Milliband replace Gordon? Do me a favour! Labour has angered almost everyone in some way. To highlight just a few:
Repeated loss of important confidential public documents (less than 11 percent trusting the government with data)
ID cards and the 42-day terror limit
Failure to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty
Stealth taxes
Persecuting motorists
The 10p tax debacle,
A crumbling economy and bloated public sector,
The prime minister’s ‘it is just an international crisis, not my fault, but of course the years of prosperity were my doing’ attitude.
But don’t forget they have managed to increase the population at the fastest rate for 50 years.
Rampant immigration is the only way to keep the Ponzi scheme called socialism going.
Of course socialists always quite wrongly “think bigger = better” but in this Internet age, the opposite is true. Quality over volume will be this centuries path to success.
287. Spot on!
“I didn’t realise that doubling the tax rate of the lowest-paid workers would adversely effect low-paid workers.”
yes, indeed, that’ll go down in history as definitive proof that we had a tantrumming 3 year old who can’t even count in charge of the economy for 13 years.
schoolkids will look back at us in years to come and ask their teachers:
“Eh? I don’t get it. You all just sat back and let him stay there? For 13 years? Why didn’t you riot?”
“I take full responsibility. That’s why I fired the person who was responsible” – everything the man does/says everyday proves he’s a lying fuckwit with the brain of a toddler.

And where were the opposition (+media) when 10p tax dropping decision was made? Going on about inheritance tax if i remember rightly.
Perhaps they were sitting about going “wow, thats a crap idea” and thinking about how much fun could be had by not mentioning it now and waiting till the car crash happened.

Ah, the good old days.
You have part of your wish,the posties around Mancunia are or have gone on strike and the Liverpool binmen are going on strike.
If you think it’s bad now, wait til the tories get in. The marxists will be in full foaming, ranting mode, calling out the brothers because – heavens above – there have been calls for restraint on those above inflation public sector pay rises.
Yes, all the I’m-alright-jack shop stewards will be dusting off their megaphones for a show of hands in the car park, in order to prove their loyalty to their Nulabour masters, now languishing in opposition.
I hope Cameron has the balls to deal with them. Never try to hug a grubby, ranting marxist. Not a pleasant experience.
Collective bargaining should mena collective loss of employment.
You’re Fired!
Why were those shop stewards always wanting to be “Frank and Ernest”?
Great names for a pair of English Setters

So another Pict makes a fool of himself and allows a “healthy” prisoner early release.
Where are you Camerhoon on this matter? Where is your Shadow Minister for anything on this matter?
Get off your opposition fat arse and say something you useless hopeless non Tory.
Otherwise someone like me will stand for being an MP. The country couldn’t do any worse.
Mr Engineer has just persuaded me that Camerhoon is playing a clever game, and now you say he’s useless hopeless non Tory’
I really don’t know what to think, which shows that Lord Mandlebum of Foy has got us in just the position he wants. Further elaboration is probably unnecessary.
You don’t know what to think? OK so you’re like the rest of country although I suspect you are in the top 1% of those who have and use their brain.
Let’s keep it simple shall we?
If that blinking idiot Cameron and his band of “yes” men on the front benches had ever done an honest day’s work; had any understanding of what it is like in the real world; and were not the professional self serving politicians they are maybe, just maybe, they might after 12 years have a Policy or two.
Fair enough you say, they are being clever and smart, (don’t want the commies and the stassi broadcasting stealing and poo pooing their ideas after all) so just what are they in Parliament for if they cannot even oppose. That is their job isn’t it? To oppose.
Other than Boris not one of the blithering idiots has even opposed Lord Turner’s concept of Tobin’s Law.
What a joke.
The don’t need policies (YET) but they do need to get across their principles and Dave seems to lack principles that annoy focus groups even when they’re inconsistent.
Yes I agree but the problem is, if we don’t vote for CmD and his bunch of Public School Wallies, who do we vote for to get rid of the Evil Gorgon.
I would much rather see David Davis up there but he was too lazy to make a decent speech so we’ve ended up with Call me Dave.
I just hope Engineer’s analysis is correct and CmD is being all things to all men so that he gets the vote, but I have to admit I’d much rather hear some outspoken opposition and basic conservative policies outlined.
Osbourn said only recently there should be a curb on bonuses & city greed so there’s a policy and a position
Maybe Osbourne should tackle the underlying rent-seeking that ensures schumpeterian banking bonuses?
That would be a conservative policy. Stealing from bonuses because the state decided they were too large is not a conservative principle.
Principles? Tenets?
How can he when he has Duncan sitting there with his coiffured hairdo, grinning away with that self righteous attitude. Or Haslehurst the former deputy Speaker whose just repaid the 12,000 taken from the taxpayer to pay his gardener. The list goes on and on and on.
Cameron, go have another kid which is what you say you want. 61.4 million here already so what’s another one. That is one job you can probably perform. I’d give up politics CMD.
Paid. His gardener. £12,000. That’s direct Redistribution of Wealth straight to the Working Classes in return for honest labour, Comrade – he probably did more for us in that one act than your party of choice has in the past 30 years!

Persoanlly I miss seeing people standing round fires in old oil drums to keep warm on the picket line in the dead of winter.
The oil drums haven’t gone away, you know !
Yes they have. They’ve all been chopped up and converted into trendy Islighton roof barbeques with special holders for citronella candles.
Everyone is making a comeback these days so I believe Red Robbo should too.
The Marina, Maxi, Allegro, Princess ha ha ha ha
Even the Chinks won’t be making those again
Why not, the Germans are making the Mini.
The Germans are making a car called a Mini.
A name they bought.
The Germans did not buy the name Austin Mini, Morris Mini, Wolsey Hornet, Riley Elf. Nor did they buy the factories where same were made.
They may assemble a car called a Mini in the UK but it is as English/British as my Beurette mistress.
Those brands of car brought employment in after sales. Modern cars just don’t break down enough these days.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window
wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable of the neocon twat
Of course. I should have said the Germans are making ‘A Mini’, not ‘The Mini’.
I think BMW still own the Riley brand and therefore ‘Riley Elf’, as their .
connections with Riley go back to before WW II.
This may be apocryphal, but was told to me by a draughtsman working at BL at the time.
After many near misses, Michael Edwardes and the BL management finally found an undisputable sackable offence to pin on Red Robbo. The unions called the inevitable mass meeting; Robbo, Edwardes and some of the BL top brass observed from the security lodge.
Shop steward with megaphone, “Brothers, one of our shop stewards has been sacked. We demand his immediate reinstatement.”
Voice from crowd, “Who?”
Megaphone, “Robbo. Show of hands, those in favour of immediate strike”
A few desultory hands go up.
Megaphone, “Those against.”
Forest of hands shoot up.
Edwardes turns to Robbo. “Like I said, you’re sacked.”
It must be pretty crap being McBride right now, I mean I’d be feeling pretty nervous and paranoid in that my every utterance is being analysed by Guido et al. Not being the sharpest tool in the box doesn’t help…
I think Guido is owed a debt of gratitude for facing down the threats, smears and lies which Labour have tried to clobber him with.
Though I don’t know the man, he must have known what Labour and its modern-day Judases would try to do to him in return. It doesn’t bear thinking about: Rose Addis (a ‘racist’), David Kelly (a ‘Walter Mitty character’), the Paddington Train survivors (‘are they Tories?’).
But Guido did not back down, and the result is an improved space for public discourse and two undesirables gone. Absolutely brilliant.
Here, here.
Where?
there, there, dear
Well when the Tories tax us all more and it becomes a waste of time trying to earn more than £100k pa at least it will take the pressure off as we will all be up shit creek without a paddle.
It’s not worth doing overtime now when NuLab taxes it at 40% – fuck giving the government almost half of it…especially this government. Add on NHI, stealth taxes, council taxes, VAT, and taxes on already taxed income and you’re giving the marxists 70% of your pay…
I’d sooner pay 41% tax today than 50% next year, whoever is in charge.
The party’s over me old muckers.
Cameron will let us down I regret to say. He’s not a Tory. And finally the reality is dawning upon all.
Agreed there is noone else. But he won’t be getting my X next May.
I am going to vote for Dave , do i trust 100% ? No , but if it stops gordon getting back in i can stomach it , If he starts spinning and telling porkies , then hes wont get my vote next time
These days, five years is a long time in politics.
Vote in haste, repent at leisure.
Out of our glorious Parliament you can choose any brand you like, but you’ll find the same old toxic globalisation inside the gaudy box.
Stop smearing my mate Cameron, I’ve just paid £1.5m for a Peerage (£100,000 annual fee, maxed out after 15 years) and the receipt hasn’t arrived in the post yet.
I suspect Ashcroft has done the right thing and decided against returning to the UK. Why oh why am I returning home from the Channel Islands?
MY LONELINESS IS KILLING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND I MUST CONFESS I STILL BELIEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
SENDDDDDDDDDD ME A SIGNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
HIRE ME GORDON ONE MORE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

“The RSPCA didn’t prosecute because they said the dog didn’t suffer.”
Exactly!
It was the same with J P de M, even if the HSE did get us done under Health and Bloody Safety….

It was the same with Jean Paul, even if the HSE did get us banged to rights on Health and Bloody Safety….

Spin? That’s about 5,000rpm!
Who the fcuk is Mehdi Hasan? Never heard of it.
Another economic refugee writing tosh.
“Who the fcuk is Mehdi Hasan?”
Translated into English, its Mehdi Hasan = ‘Damian he shits’.
Does that help?
Must be a comedy night ?
Labourlist says the BBC is impartial so we know for a fact that it isn’t.
Next we hear, the BBC will be saying that Labourlist is impartial.
It’s like a crack dealer standing as a good character witness for one of his addicts in court.
Bit like steve and tat.
Those guys should get a room instead of slobbering over each other on here. Most unseemly.
Obviously whoever this person is – an “unpaid intern” perhaps ? He has absolutely no grasp on reality -he should do well in Brown’s Labour Party(for how long it lasts which isn’t probably too long – that is) The BBC impartial AND a “Conservative Organisation” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On my God who said – ironic humour was dead
I had a close up look of goverment waste today
The mike hunt household is a council flat , We recived a phone call last week informing us that a new bath would be fitted .
Today we recived a phone call that some workmen would come round and remove the bath pannels ( there are two ), Having just woke up i thought no more of it .
Around 3pm this afternoon some workmen knocked on the door and said they had come to remove the pannels , I know the company ( my mate works for them , they deal with asbestoes ), after looking at the pannels they said they was wood , so they took them off ( witch i could have with a screwdriver ) and went after 5 mins .
This was taxpayers money ( and i am still waiting for the new bath )
I’ve lost count of the massive “teams” of council workers I have seen, which mostly consist of one person actually doing the job, while another sits in the van reading the paper, one leans on a shovel scratching his arse and shaking his head, and the other chats up anything with a pulse.
Just yesterday we had nine council ‘workers’ around. The first group of two operated a (single man) street sweeper, and got the road and pavement all nice and tidy. When they had departed, the second group of three cut the grass verges with rotary cutters. The third group of two ‘tidied up’ the edges with strimmer-type machines, then left.
The fourth group of two, an hour later, used leaf blowers to deposit all the grass cuttings all over the road and neighbourhood in general.
After all that work, the place looked like a tornado had passed through. A VERY expensive tornado.
Have the technicians been yet to remove the bathroom door? Then when you get the bath you’ill need to wait for the plumber, then the panel fitters, then the decorators, then the door re-fit technicians. Should be abart seven months.
The Mike hunt household was told it would take 3 days ( they where also putting in a fan ) out of 2 days we have seen 5 mins of work unscrewing the panels , The council are meant to finish today and 2 make good “
They didn’t actually promise that the three days would be consecutive, though, did they. One this month, one next month and one after Christmas. (But no promises on which Christmas.)
They said Fan on wednesday ( it wont fit anywhere )
on thursday the bath ( panals removed only )
and on friday “make good” .
judgeing by how its going you might be right one day a month

Boris a politican that says what he thinks
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1209359/Head-FSA-backs-tax-transactions-combat-swollen-city-bonuses.html
The whole economy has been run for the benefit of the City of London for decades: high interest rates (until very recently), an overvalued currency, Government borrowing, the money supply tap left on, light regulation in banking and heavy regulation everywhere else, banks allowed to avoid tax while everybody else has to pay it, infrastructure investment hevaily biassed towards London and the doors at Nos 10 and 11 always open to Big Finance but closed to everybody else.
Up to a point this makes sense. We play to our strengths. Socially, it is nonsense. The importance of the City is exaggerated. Before the crash, the financial sector accounted for about 7% to 8% of UK GDP (per Goldman Sachs) and this includes your local branch of the Nationwide. The contribution by wholesale markets in the City is a fraction of that. True, the City contributes more heavily to exports, but conversely its effect on employment is proportionately lower and many of those it does employ are imported.
We need a rebalancing, from administration to ‘doers’, from government to the people, from finance to production and from unemployment to work.
There was an interesting interview yesterday lunchtime on WATO with James Dyson, he of the vacuum cleaners and a champion of all things design and engineering. Some years ogo he began the process of opening a School for Design in Bath, but after many struggles, gave up. Planning permission was hard to obtain, then when it was, the scheme was called in by Hazel Blears and squashed. Additionally, Baals would not sanction funds from the Education Department (or whatever it’s called these days).
It would seem that not only is this government wedded to it’s ’service economy’ ethos, it is actively (if subtley) discouraging any expansion of the manufacturing part of the economy. Let us sincerely hope that the next government has a more enlightened attitude – we must encourage both sectors.
The money that the government claims to be using to help and grow business is not reaching the private sector.
Little, if any, of it makes it past the quango level. Here in the north east, organisations such as One North East, Business and Enterprise North East, BusinessLink and so on are having an absolute feeding frenzy at the moment.
Hurdles are put in place to ensure that private sector businesses don’t get their hands on the cash, whilst these quangos occupy palatial offices, run fleets of fully expensed company cars and attend regular overseas ‘fact finding’ visits.
The ones you want to direct at are balls (ed) and the two browns ( nick and gordon )
Gordon does it again

There are times when you think it isnt possible for a government to fall any lower CW was reasonably impressed with labours show this week in poltical terms fielding junior ministers to make news look tiny was no more than I had come to accept from this shower , newsnight education debate was getting to some of the problems , but got skillfully choked off in a veritable smoke screen of more is better and less is more . labours accusation of education becoming a political football was laughable , there are no critics within the education department , to me that looks totally politically controlled .
We now have news that the ruin in a small bit in the bottom of the budget intends to take benefits back , at first you think well its a bit of an adjustment in rental payments , but then you read that they have no idea how it will work out . Frank Field and Sarah Teather are up first together with a number of Labour MPs unhappy at hitting the poorest . Cw thinks this goverment have been hitting the poorest for years namely by destroying the savings culture and making them into debt fodder for the banksters and corpratists.
Barry Obama having gained some wind through the SS Kennedy passing into eternity then goes on to make a gaff of calling his struggling health care plan Kennedy Care , cleary the new health care plan will be based on leaving a stiff on a trolley while the lawyers sort out liability and lessening of criminal case .
Cw has secret news that at an unkown archelogical dig in fife , amongst the arean artifacts unearthed , two ancient stone tablets in hebrew but with a saltaire neatly chiseled next to the hammer and sickle , a silver cup inscribed “To fred for all your hard work thanks GB” and a delicately carved wooden plaque which tells the tale of how “gord” in his anger smote the evil english welsh and irish with a flood of debt and delusional media spin and after 4000 days , the floods subsided and low he had created the EU and he looked upon it and was a little dissapointed , as there was an IOU nailed to ship which was more than the ship was worth , tony blair had survived , and the tories it turned out were already on the ground with leaflets .
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
John Rentoul having a dig at you today.Respond please.
Seems to think Jonah’s Jonahood is a figment of your imagination.
heh you nutjobs, keep talking about god damn stupid emails while my buddy Merv and I dole out trillions of taxpayer dollars and pounds to our buddies on Wall St and Threadneedle St. Remember though if you ask us to show who got what and what worthless trash they gave in return to the taxpayer we’ll crash your freaking economies again! Keep up the great work firework man!
The Sun used to pride itself as being able to judge the public’s mood, but more recently, with it’s blind, puppydog support for first Blair and then Brown, it has lost it’s way.
Has the tide turned? It has a new editor, and this morning is gunning for Snotty.
“Our heroes have been abandoned and are dying. This Government must remember that there is a bloody war on. A war that they chose.
If the Prime Minister will not take charge and take responsibility for the war, he should resign and be replaced with a Premier who will lead from the front.”
None of this could have been written without Rupert’s say so, of course. Let’s hope he keeps up the pressure. Rupert is not used to backing losers; now would be a good time to switch sides and end the labour love-in.
Cameron = Obama, ‘change you can be duped by’.
Cameron = ’surge’ in Aghan theatre plus bombing Pakistan, then Iran…
You should also ask for copies of all related papers on the decison taken not to release them and submit that to both the Cabinet Office and No 10 – they may be hiding down the cracks that ‘they’ dont hold them, No 10 does
The “Right” are self sufficient, the “Left” do little but talk and re-distribute the by-products of the Right’s creativity, risk and hard work.
The Right does not need the Left but the left rely on the right in order to feed themsleves, transport themselves and communicate with each other.
If the left are so intelligent and creatve, start your own car factories, build your own computers, build your own hospitals, start your own food production, make your own medicines, make your own films and music, all financed not for the common tax pool but from your own group of people, your own risk and your own hard work
The folk on the left would love to do these things but tax, red tape, employment regulations, and general interference prohibits this. Intelligent lefties work in the City and medja now.
The Sun mounting a major attack on gordon and bob’aintbustinagut’ this morning and on their mismanagement of the war with phrases such as “Where is your leadership?” and “Missing in Action”.

Good.
Morning folks.
I mentioned this a couple of posts above, along with the hope that, at last, Rupert is seeing sense and realising that he has been backing a total loser.
Morning Ratsniffer – sorry – hadn’t had first cup of tea.
If labour has lost the support of the sun they’ll be left with only the mirror and the beeb to talk kindly about them because even the guardian lately has been publishing stories about the negative side of labour. And I don’t know anyone who reads the mirror.
It shows how awful labour is.
Thanks for the link Nell about Dan the Man.
Say helo to Grandad,he ain’t at the betting shop again is he?
Last time I tried to post a link talking about little nell and dickens guido modded me. I’ve tried to avoid dickens ever since! But ‘grandad’ says his shares are doing quite well today. It won’t last!
Funny paper the Mirror – still sells a million and a half. But yes, like you I have *never* met anyone who reads it. My guess is that the readership is 100% trade union and public sector, or retired from that niche. And naturally I don’t mix with people like that…
Anyone? Anyone know a mirror reader?
Sadsack here says… I try to read a lot of the papers regularly online… those I tend to agree with and those I don’t… The Mirror gets very short shrift… There’s hardly any reading material in it at all… Its all silly pics of celebs and non stories… and their ‘Have your say’ is never switched on for the odd article where you might want to answer back…
I haven’t read the Sun since I was Maxwell’s chauffeur
If it’s proven to be correct that only 150 voted in Helmand Province in the Afghan Elections(which have a whiff of vote rigging anyway)and that 10 British Soldiers and countless others were wounded(how exactlymany is still a guarded secret but it’s probably almost as many if not more that actually voted in Helmand)then the games is up for Brown and Ainsworth. The much vaunted “success” of “Operation Panther’s Claw” the grandiose sounding operation to make the province “secure” for voting is moore like “Operation Pussy Cats Whiskers” and we need to start the campaign to withdraw British Troops in earnest from this unwinnable and under-resourced committment.
“The Sun” for all the criticism levelled at it tends to be if not the weather-vane of working class public opinion then certainly the catalyst and clarion call.
As I posted last week – the British Government has already lost the War in Afghanistan – not on the fields;streets or towns of Garmsir;Lakshar Gar;Sangin and the rest of Helmand but on the inner city streets ;the leafy avenues of suburbia; and the quiet villages of Britain.
Never as that oft used WW1 phrase – “Lions led by Donkeys” seemed so spot on to-day as yet more British Servicemen lay down their lives for absolutely – NOTHING whilst government apparatchiks and “renmouth” backbench Labour MPs and Peers peddle their distasteful smears against soldiers who tell the truth on the catastrophic lack of equipment and leadership from this Government
Obama has shown that Britain is of little importance to the US. We have nothing that they want.
New labour has systematically eroded Britain’s standing in the world and seems commited to reducing Westminsters ability to govern itself.
Cameron should commit to withdrwing all troops from Afghanistan, as it is likely to improve to overseas relations seeing as we are no longer special to America.
The US is already significantly subsidising UK troops with helecopters, arms and provisions in Afghanistan, so they would not miss us.
Brown answers to “why we are there” do not stack up. The war on terrorism should be conducted electronically on funding, supply and propagnada.
BE BOLD DAVE – RETURN THE CONTEMPT OBAMA HAS FOR THE UK AND BRING THE TROOPS HOME.
I ‘ave started to think that I don’t ‘ave a lot of hadmirers aht there and I know it’s just because you don’t like my moustache and cos I speak with an haccent.
It’s got nowt to do with the fact that Glorious Gordon made me the Defence Secretary because he was running out of friends.
I wouldn’t fancy having a day trip to Blackpool under the command of ‘Elecopters Ainsworth let alone get shot at

Doi you really think the govt will cough with the emails?
Surely you know that although the law exists, they will not be obeying it.
My money is on deleted and unrecoverable.
In Gordon Brown’s bizarre ‘terror state’ (aka Britain) trainspotting is now illegal, ACLU scares Miliband and Labour still spinning! Is McBride really gone?
Good luck with the new FOI request, Guido. By the way, as the government wants all emails available, wouldn’t this also include McBride’s?
If their record with voting registers are anything to go by, that’s spot on.
Or perhaps they will be deleted ‘accidentally’, like Blair’s expenses.
My money is on deleted and unrecoverable.
There ain’t no such animal.
There is its running in the 4.10 at ascot
McBride’s emails were stuck up my arse for safe keeping as no one wants to go there these days. If you want em Guido, come get em big boy. My piles await.
