Churnalists Made to Look Like Monkeys
Seen that story everywhere about the Mayor of Baltimore condemning Chris Grayling for his referencing of The Wire?
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon's fake website
Alex Hilton (also known as Recess Monkey) set up a fake MayorofBaltimore.org site. The fake press release was riddled with clues – the British spelling, the jokey references and of course the copyright notice at the bottom (R Monkee Esq).
The Guardian, Indy and the Labour blogosphere lapped it up without checking their sources. Doh!
UPDATE : Chris Grayling tells Guido “it made me laugh”.
Somes labour up
Or even sums Labour up
Sews Labour up/ Stictches Labour up. Doh…
We’ve got them on the run!
I liked the way LabourLost.org called their article “Grayling Perpetuates Fiction”.
Stitches not ’stictches’ Dreadful, just dreadful.
I know it’s Friday and Bank Holiday, which actually means it’s Chorsday, but is nobody sober enough to type?
Mr Fawkes. Please may we have the Friday Captain Competition? Ta.
Homes, homes, homes, but for who?
The country is broke, unemployment is rising, the native population is static, yet immigration appears to have gone through the roof in the last 12 months and eco cough Labour, EU, supporting `immigrant` towns are popping up all over Britain at great expence.
The native population is static, no additional housing needed for the native Brits – that is eco!
Un-eco is cramming ever more people into an already overcrowded country.
The genocide of a nation (the globalists and communists wet dream)is assured and guess what, you’re paying for it.
Eco – Labour speak for the NWOs power grab who uses every means possible including terror and genocide.
Labour don’t need to use your money to educate your children and lift them out of poverty while giving them high skilled training, nah, they might not vote Labour, better to dumb down the education feed them socialist bullshit mind bending self harming nonsence, shove them on the scrapheap call them chavs(whites only appear to be singled out for this goverment created racial abuse – these are the grandchildren of the same people that built this country and fought for this country and they have been failed – programmed to fail) and get some new people in far more likely to vote Labour.
Good innit?
Still those well off enough to be able to afford private schools, like the `socialist`MPs, couldn’t give a stuff!
PS Dave will be more of the same, Dave is a NWO puppet – wait and see, won’t take long!
154. VF – Downfall of grammar. Bob Ainsworth gets a bit touchy when his intelligence is insulted…
Almost as funny as knobcheese slaphead Chris Grayling pretending he had watched all of the wire or even understood any of it as he pushed the “drugs are bad! mmm’kay” line the other day
I’ll rely on the maker of the wire David Simon who said months ago he had wandered down the wrong streets of Dublin Britian and Europe and laughed as he said they never felt the same as Baltimore.
But drugs are bad mmm’kay! Aren’t they Mr Grayling ?
Fucking slaphead.
Sorry typo , Mr fawkes i hope you have made labourlist awear about this as they had a post about it
Oh dear!
It’s “I” (Capital, not lower case) hope . . . & . . . “aware”, not “awear”.
Is this another example of Labours first generation of “educated by Labour”- ‘yoof’?
Ok , I am shit at spelling , i had just left school although i didnt go just before labour was elected , It was my own fault and now am trying to get better
Will someone please for the love of Gordon Brown call the grammar cops
To the rescue:
The biggest clue is of course in the website source as follows
OK, so I’m just having a bit of fun at Chris Grayling’s expense.
Sitting in the office on a hot August afternoon, I was fantasising
that I was Mayor of Baltimore and how annoyed I would be.
I hope you very quickly picked up that this was a spoof.
Didn’t mean to break any laws or ethical mores – please don’t
extradite me if I have unwittingly done so. Hope you appreciate the
humour, Alex Hilton, alexhilton@gmail.com – 07985 384 859
Just right click on the page and select view source
Gives a whole new meaning to “checking your sources”.
Keep stirring my lovelies
But what I don’t understand is how Alex Hilton came to be elected Mayor of Baltimore
Indeed – what the fuck happened to journalism in this country?
The passage above is written right at the top of the spoof page but commented out, the rest of the page (including all the links exccept the Wire spoof point to a different site (the real mayor’s site).
Investigation 101 I’m afraid, and they failed miserably.
Kudos to Alex Hilton, stiched the cunts up completely!
Ms Craddock
I followed your recipe to the letter and my doughnuts did indeed look like Fanny’s
160. And people wonder why I was batting for the other side.
labourlist just ripped down the page and all the comments
They cant be pretending it never happened can they
No they havent
http://www.labourlist.org/grayling_perpetuates_fiction_baltimore_wire_mayor
It returns 404 ;)
The header is there but the entire content has gone
Damn, it’s gone.
Screen shot?
Wil they now publish an apology?
Yes they have.
It’s there as it was, but with an update at the top saying they got duped!
http://www.labourlist.org/grayling_perpetuates_fiction_baltimore_wire_mayor
Still there.
Hur, hur, hur!! What a bunch of ignorant and gullible wasters falling for a stunt like that. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
Let’s hope the real Mayor of Baltimore asks the FBI and US state department to initiate legal proceedings against this Labour cretin for identity theft violation and claiming to be an elected official, then use the extradtion treaty so loved by Nu without a clue Labour to bring justice to Amerikenya.
If we can prove the other top officials in Nu labour are behind teh scam post then perhaps we can get rid of incompetent brown via this route.
Yeah I bet this has done untold damage to the image and reputation of Her Mayorship and the Mayors Office and financial damage to the Tourisy office probably, 108. The crime was committed against american interests on UK soil was it? Ummmm.
Extradite, extradite, extradite (In a Dalek type voice)
Oh, dear. I bet they never thought of that…
I would have thought after the Draper/Mcbride affair they would stick clear of smears
They might be just smears to you but they are life and death to some poor wretch.
There goes your friendship with Hilton then Guido???
What’s your opinion on him now he’s running for office??
Are you really the really, really real Real Derek Draper? If so, no wonder you’ve always been a disaster to those whom you so readily serve. 5 questions marks for two questions? Halfwit.
What’s even better is that before jumping in they didnt check the said mayor’s record as a defender of her city’s reputation. She’s just been indicted by a grand jury for theft, perjury and misconduct in public office. So New Labour!!
They still have a legal system? I thought we were behind..them!
The Sandalista’s comments on the Grauniad website are chump central.
Did the BBC run with it?
Will teh Guardian now publish an apology and correction
It actually two 2 Guardian reporters Nicholas Watt and Hélène Mulholland to write the story and they are still running it
Nick Watt – not very bright, Hélène Mulholland – poncy name, shit hack.
More 20 than Nick Watt
Shurely 25 Watt?
Apparantly a correction going in the print edition tomorrow, admitting they were hoaxed.
The following correction was due for publication in the Guardian’s Corrections and clarifications column, Saturday 29 August 2009 The mayor of Baltimore did not make the statements attributed to her in the story below – we were caught out by a hoax.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/aug/28/baltimore-mayor-tory-the-wire-comment
Hislop and the Street of Shame team will be having a field day with this one in the Eye next week ;-)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, bunch of mucking fuppets!
It was on their 7 Days 7 Question quiz thing………..
Yes, I’ve just been there. There is now an apology at the end.
Guido – your Marina Hyde link goes to Dan Hannan’s article.
Bit of a WTF moment when I started thinking she was writing for the DT as well.
you would give her one though
Quite; it’s a good thing I wasn’t thinking along those lines when I realised it was Dan I was reading.
Ooops – fixed now.
Cough* Mr fuakes can we have the photo contest now please?

Thanks Dave for losing a few thousand votes from the non homosexual voting base……………..
If he had brains he would be dangerous
You don’t try and out PC Nu Labour and think you’ll win…
I’m not gay myself and I don’t know if I know any and I don’t care but it’s a bit condescending to thing that sex orientation overides peoples political bent. Innit?
Or am I being old fashioned.
You used the word “bent” you homophobe.
ivor is a taffy, he doesn’t know any better.
homophobe?
are you a member of the facist thought police?
I’m not a homophobe I don’t care what I am and you shouldn’t either ‘cos its racist.
Is there anything wrong with being homophobic, not everyone appreciates blokes shoving their dicks up each others jacksi for a bit of fun. We seem to be ruled by chutney ferrets, is Gordon a bandit?
It was a queer thing to say, you must admit.
“is Gordon a bandit”
Is the Pope an ex Nazi?
Is there anything wrong with being homophobic, not everyone appreciates blokes shoving their dicks up each others jacksi for a bit of fun.
If it isn’t wrong to hate people for engaging in consensual sexual practices, it is certainly very odd.
Those ‘rainbow’ colours are normally used by the BDSM boys and girls, or so my old school chum Max tells me.
And I thought all those rainbow flags at the festivals this year were South AFricans enjoying the Muzac. I never knew I had to be on bum bandit patrol.
The number kweers posting on this site is astonishing.
Laugh? I nearly handed out my Cohibas.
Alex, you’ve been done.
Serves them right; hubris indeed.
Hilton looks like a pratt, egg on his face, Guido put him in his place, Hilton feels like a twat.
Hilton must be past retirement age now surely?
Ho ho ho.
What a load of humourless twats you all are. The joke is on the media, not Chris Grayling or Alex Hilton. Alex ought to be congratulted for showing how useless the media are at chasing thier own stories.
piss of nick you retard.
hilton is guttersnipe scum and grayling is an idiot.
“piss of nick”
Sounds like something from a witch’s recipe.
Very good, very good
tat – Confucious says that putting foot in mouth and chewing leg off makes it difficult to talk sense out of arse.
Try googling “Luther Blissett” or “Harry Kipper”. MSM here don’t like it up ‘em any more than the Italian one does. Nice one, all concerned.
They’re all proper journalists at The Guardian and Independent, unlike the BBC who never keep records or notes (which they confirmed so conveniently in court for us all). How could they be wrong? No, no, it must be true and well done them! Unless they’re just credulous idiots, of course.
Laughing at Rusbridger and all the other do as I say second raters on the staff.
Enjoy your shytepaper you hypocritical, sanctimonious wretches.
When the Tories take the reins of power your non jobs cashcow will disappear in double quick time.
Obviously in time one hopes Lewsiham council will require fewer cottaging officers on their payroll.
However in the mid term should you deem a job assisting homosexualists to meet and urinate over each other at public lavatories is right for you, you’ll have to apply online innit
All over to leftie land to take the piss. Come on….

I’m pleased there are no adverts on the Gordians comment page although joke shops may have made a good investement on the A budget
I would love to for a good laugh but for some reason I can never get to the comments? Even by selecting the hyperlink ‘comments’
anyone else have this difficulty?
The biggest clue is of course in the website source as follows

Didnt they say that after the Draper/Mcbride affair at first ?
C’mon – it’s only a bit of fun and shows up how pitiful the press is. This Hilton feller must be reasonably bright for a leftie – bizarre how that sometimes happens. Maybe he’s just pretending to be Lab to get laid?
Have you seen Labour women? Even the attractive ones wear things like purple corduroy trousers…
Labour women……attractive ones…..
Nope, sorry. Does not compute.
Alex Hilton – if the truth does not fit the lefties just make it up
I was telling my children only yesterday that there is the truth and there are lies. And that Mr Blair and Mr Campbell and the Labour scum running the show have tried to convince people that some lieing is not an untruth, and that it is ok to misinform people, take matters out of context and spin. Spin has become an acceptable profession. However, they are liars, and spinning is objectionable and wrong. The BBC is particularly good at lieing to people and yet claim that it is not an untruth. There is so little honour and self respect left in public life, and Saint Tony’s legacy has been to creat an environment where noone beleives anything the Gov’t says any more
Thank you
Thank you.
[...] Hat Tip to Guido [...]
Yeah… great fun…

“Kate Garraway and Derek Draper will show you their new baby for £2.60.”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/lostinshowbiz/2009/aug/27/kate-garraway-derek-draper-baby
I am lost for words.
Hopefully other readers will be able to fill the void.
I’d happily pay twenty quid NOT to have the revolting offspring of such an odious pair of opportunists shoved in my face. What a daft idea this is. I hope they don’t raise a single penny with this obnoxious stunt. Who gives a fuck about their shitty baby?
Correction: “Kate Garraway and Derek Draper will sell you their new baby for £2.60.”
Saw Kate and Derek hawking their kid on the Circle line the other day. Outstretched hand with begging cup – looked like a couple of Romanian gypsies. Flicked them a bit of loose change though.
Was it,
‘Kate Garraway and Derek Draper will show you how they made their new baby for £2.60′
1 spoon
1 turkey baster
2 brown paper bags
and a Bib.
Was it,
‘ Kate Garraway and Derek Draper will show you how they made their new baby for £2.60′
Using,
1 Spoon

1 Bib
You forgot the poster of Roy Hattersley.
A poster with a big dribbling Cu*nt on it.
How could I forget.
I thought Marina’s human interest story struck just the right tone.
They don’t need £2.60. They’ve sold the spread to OK, or Hello, or such like. Saw KG and new baby on a front cover recently. It must have taken the make-up artist an age to get her to look that good. Dolly couldn’t even be bothered to shave. He looked as though he’d just got out of bed.
Things must be bad if Baby Draper is already having to earn his keep.
She’d make more money in a cafe expressing coffee
Is Guido’s Link wrong to “baby draper”? unless he is describing Dan-Han as a “baby draper” (!!)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/lostinshowbiz/2009/aug/27/kate-garraway-derek-draper-baby
Rather savage fun from the guardian.
100% knee jerk fucktards.
Sums up the Labor Party!
Tony we know you’ve gone stateside now but at least spell Labour correctly i.e. the English way and not the american way – Labor
How about Liarbore?
it’s in the BBC’s quiz of the week as well..
Don’t worry the Ministry of Truth will sort that one out, erased from history into the memory hole!
Baltimore’s mayor says Tory claims likening UK crime spots to The Wire is like “boasting that Baltimore has a per capita homicide rate a fraction of that in the popular UK television show ________.”
CORRECT!
It’s Midsomer Murders. Sheila Dixon, Baltimore’s Mayor, used the ITV show as she attacked shadow home secretary Chris Grayling for suggesting parts of Liverpool, Manchester and London were like scenes from The Wire.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8226143.stm
Looks as if Alex Hilton has made monkeys out of the BEEB….
Funniest news story of the week, journalism is obviously dead in this country if they fall for such an obvious gag as this.
Three Cheers for Alex Hilton!!
HA!
Even the yanks have been suckered!
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/blog/2009/08/mayor_takes_on_british_pol_on.html
A lie is half way around the world before truth has its pants on, eh Alex? I love this stuff. Everything on the internet is a lie.
Fantastic; ‘Denial is not a river in egypt’ – emmett. I shall’nt go to Baltimore now far too violent like Manchester
Good call Frank – universal thanks for the apology. Don’t think the journo with his arms folded in a menacing way will agree though.
The Baltimore Sun blogger has posted an admission of being duped.
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/blog/2009/08/duped_on_mayoral_twitter.html
The tragic part is this:
It was a hoax, I learned this morning, and City Hall is trying to figure how a fake Internet page with the mayor’s seal was born.
If they’re trying to figure it out, I’d suggest the City of Baltimore needs to get some new IT people.
Why was Kennedy’s coffin carried by military personnel,please?
Was it because they could shoot him if he tried to get out?
Because he was very heavy?
Because civvies might have responded to the tapping from inside?
‘Cos they’ill be testing him underground later
Because the military get specially innocculated against some unpleasant nasties they might encounter.
Because they could be ordered
This is indeed a funny old world
It’s an incredibly good “fake”.
Most of it appears genuine, links to other departments, other departments and all.
Had a good look at the pics of different neighborhoods, and they are all real. Anyone want to look at something specific, can view Fells Point – Hurricane Isabel. I was there! Also, the Whistling Oyster is my local bar (one of about 500 in Fells Point).
This was one real good spoof, no wonder it fooled so many. Most of the info was copied from real Balto City site.
Easy enough to do – he’s just grabbed the source, cloned the site, injected his own few scraps of copy.
I ve thought of doing things like this; build half a dozen fake site with mostly genuine data, and intermixed with the credible stuff, a tiny bit of bullshit; the idea being to sustain a fabricated entry on wikipedia and cross pollinate blogs etc.
And don’t ask why.
Oh and he’s even got a get out under US copyright law – he can claim parody – which is fair use. I think he’s home free.
I’m sure what with eeees computer skills he will get along with Gary Mc Kinnon over there
Well I see the guardian have been decent to admit they were fooled. Better than Labour List, who have purged it from history in an act that would make Stalin proud.
Do most people even know what ‘the wire’ is? I mean its a great show, but it hardly has mass appeal does it? All these people getting animated in an argument about a show they haven’t seen once. Reminds me of the Jonathan Ross nonsense and the brasseye special. Ahhh I love hysteria.
It was rather fun on BBC News when Grayling was asked in condescending fashion whether he had in fact only … perhaps… watched the first episode of ‘The Wire’. He drew himself up to his full height… well sort of… he was sitting down, and bellowed that he had watched the whole of the first series right through…
Having Saved The World many times, the Glorious and Beloved Leader, – the Loony Loft-Lagger of Londistan, – will shortly attempt a triumphal Solo Round-The-World voyage.
His devoted minions pray for his well-being and safe return.
Liberal Conspiracy and Mr Hundal are also made to look foolish.
Too late – saved for posterity
http://plato-says.blogspot.com/2009/08/quiz-of-week-bbc-fell-for-it-too.html
Oh and Aunty has now changed the quiz without bothering to explain why – tsk, tsk, tsk.
Don’t you just love screen-shots when the state broadcaster pretends that it wasn’t duped too?
Nice catch Plato
Why, Guido -all this internegativity could give people a cynical attitude towards their politicomeedja elite!
Perish the thought.
Is it any wonder the that the Grauniad, Indy and Labour party are fast losing subscribers.
What bunch of dopes.
They are all too busy looking for spin angles to discredit anyone standing in the way of a Labour victory to see the truth staring them in the face.
If they enoble a mysogenist, drunk, druggy, terrorist supporting killer like Kennedy, then Alex Hilton should be a shoe-in for the Lords.
more of the same please
Ah and Sunny “Twat” Hundal is all cross with Guido. He says lefty blogs are flexing their muscles. Those would be the muscles involved in futile, impotent, sterile, dry, aimless, unsatisfying wanking I suppose?
WTF are people like Hundal going to do in this coming decade? I hope to god Prick Cameron doesn’t let the quangocracy run riot, sustaining the parasitic socialists in non-jobs and un-jobs till the bastards get their hands on the cash register again?
You got a link for Sunny’s bit? I couldnt see it on his website, it was shockingly poorly designed.
Just google on “sunny hundal twat opportunist wannabe mp dullard self-serving hypocrite twat lefty twat” and you should find it okay.

See the comments section.
Bollocks I just put his traffic up by going there. Notice to sponsors-It doesn’t mean I’ll be returning. Nice agument Guido!
What a shower of halfwits.
What the likes of Hundal et al don’t seem to understand is that most of us who have been sticking the boot into Labour for the last few years will also be doing the same to the Tories….

An article on immigration in the D.T with sources quoted from Guardian and Catholic Herald.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/100007803/the-church-is-running-away-from-the-reality-of-immigration/
This is absolutely superb! I’ve been laughing about it all morning.
To be fair to The Guardian, though, they have at least posted a story about the hoax entitled “Mayor culpa: how hoax press release misled the media over Wire story”. Credit where it’s due.
“Mayor culpa” is pretty good.
Although they should have first used that headline after their backfiring anti-Boris campaign…
Wow! An accurately spelled, grammatically correct, non-offensive reply, containing no mention of sex or violence. Thank you, FrankFisher: you’ve restored my faith in Guido’s readers.

Phew that’s lucky we ran out of vacancies.
SKRAAARKK!!! KRIPPLEKRIPPLEKRIPPLE! (skrit skrit)
Please don’t be put off by tat. This blog is like a football match. Some are here to watch the play, some are here to support their team and some are just here to kick and swear.
Oh, I’m not put off. I thought the spastics comment was quite funny. I just find the endless comments about Gordon Brown’s Scottishness and Peter Mandleson’s sexuality a bit tiresome sometimes.
Oh great! Someone else who finds disabled jokes funny and yet quips about Jockoes and pooftahs are “tiresome”.
a very telling description sir william.
why am I here? I am not here to kick and swear as you imply.
I am here to rip the wires out of the machine.
elections are all about momentum. difficult to get much of that going when you have a c’unt like me tearing the wires out quicker than they can be repaired innit.
good one eh?
stop being a thuggish ‘win at all costs including the country’ football supporter and vote independent sir william of Waad.
BBC Headline:
‘No deals’ linked to freed bomber
The son of Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi insists no trade deals were linked to the release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber.
(then, drill down to the bit which most people wouldn’t see/read) -
Saif Gaddafi said the “deal in the desert” more than two years ago – which saw an agreement signed between Tony Blair and Libya allowing prisoner transfers – specifically targeted Megrahi.
what the fuck kind of lying shit pro-labour headline is that?
what the fuck kind of lying shit pro-labour headline is that?
The kind that the BBC can create because of the unique way in which it is funded.
Nice rythmic bounce to that string of obscenities there – have you been classically trained?
If you pronounce ‘lying’ as one syllable it is pretty much a Spanish alexandrine.
rhythm
Well….this is the Dail Mails Version headline up front and centre.
Gaddafi’s son reveals Lockerbie bomber release WAS linked to oil deal
Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi claimed a prisoner transfer deal with Britain had targeted Abdelbaset Ali al Megrahi and was linked to talks on trade and oil.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1209651/Gordon-Brown-pressure-Lockerbie-bomber-Gaddafi-son-reveals-prisoner-swap-deal-WAS-linked-oil.html
The BBC are protecting their Labour paymasters and should be hung
A huge purge is needed at Pravda. The marxists need to be rooted out, and if they can’t be, privatise it, and let the labour loving luvvies see how they get on in the private sector, without the state’s ample teats to suck on.
Itv teletext today: ‘Gaddafi son tells of prisoner deal’,
……”the prisoner transfer deal was signed at the same time as an oil deal”, “specifically targeted the bomber but his name was never mentioned”
DEAL IN THE DESERT. Who’s telling porkies again I wonder.
As with a lot of other things; Anthony Lynton Blair is behind Brown’s downfall and all the dirty dealings.
The Mail story has a nauseating picture of Blair sealing the deal with Gadaffi.
Remember in Labour speak something like, to quote Tony blair, “He leaves office with his integrity intact” can be said when one of his ministers resigns in disgrace when caught shagging another mans wife and claiming to get her pregnant.
In other words take the common sense opposite of EVERYTHING this lying govenment says and you wont go wrong.
Alex Hilton give me a job.
Who’s Signh?
Simon Singh? Top geezer, had recent problems with homeopaths…
Just looked up Simon Singh, seems like a good enough bloke.
Hilton and Guido are of course also top blokes, I’ve been laughing all afternoon that real journalists would fall for such a simple hoax, one that would have taken about half an hour to set up.
Wouldn’t have wanted to be in the room when the editors of the Grauniad, Indy and BBC News found out about the story being a hoax and their idiot hacks falling for the gag and not double checking sources!!
I need relief.
Easy for u hetero’s tho innit!
I have a question
Gordon Brown stated we are best positioned to weather the comining recession amongst the leading industrial nations. He said this more than once so there can be no doubt.
How then are we in recession longer and others are OUT of recession but we remain in recession? (Latest figures this morning)
Is the man a total idiot,? is he a Liar? or is he both.
He is a sociopath. To realise that is to understand everything
Well he is something, what we do know he is not a leader, he has no courage, he is unelected to this post and he is starting to P*** me off big style.
Applying the principle established at #217 above this actualy means ” We are the WORST positioned to weather the Global recession amongst the leading Industrial nations”. See its easy when you get the hang of it.
Hoon covers it!
The only ‘wire’ that Gordon Brown would benefiit from is a piano wire …round his frikkin neck!! Read the Rhubarb Grumble Blog here.
General Sir Richard Dannatt has stepped down as the head of the British Army after three years in the job.
Best wishes Sir Richard now get those Labour barstards
Copy that.
Is this a spoof too???
These accusations are far to odious to ignore, surely?
http://www.tpuc.org/node/34
That’s why the BBC have ignored them. Far too odious.
If this is true these people should be tried, and jailed, and the the members of said parties who tried to cover it all up should also be tried, and jailed.
Whilst on this subject, the above could apply to members of the clergy too.
The trouble is, proving it.
If you Google a certain combination of words that are present in the linked article the returned entries are a bit distressing. The last time I posted the combination of words, I was modded by Guido. I often wondered if this was something that the Yanks had on the Gov to force them to go to wars.
There is a I know called Michael Mac who has stuff on the government about the peado ring. He went missing though.
True story.
The linked article cites the “Forthcoming Iraq war” as a reason for D-notices to be issued. Obviously now that the war is over an FoI request or two might not go amiss – or maybe they would…
Come On Guido…
what do you think….??
Some background reading for you.
http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=8258
I saw huge troop movements taking place in the countryside a long time before the Parliamentary debate on the Iraq war. It was clear that we were totally committed to the war before the debate took place.
We now have an inkling of the sort of information used by Mc Bride and the Labour whips to enforce discipline in Government and party.
An enquiry is clearly needed to get everything out into the open where dirty secrets cannot be used to influence major Government policy.
No, It’s tin-foil nonsense.

U.S. agents ‘bugged Tony Blair’s private phone calls for years’
Damn you damn you I’m innocent I tell you
He certainly knows how to put it up em!
Hope he’ll be at conference this year ;-b
Unlikely Anastasia, I think this matter has legs and what may have started as a “spoof” will come back to bite him and whoever else was involved. If that is the case -our friends in Labour will drop him quicker than the proverbial off a hot shovel
Ignoring a possible federal offence of impersonating a muncipal official, something our yankee friends take a dim view of, there is also the matter of where and on who’s machine this spoof was perpetrated and whether it was in his own time or on his employers or on any quasi -govermental premises and it could be a case of “Gross Misconduct” leading to dismissal or other penalty
Finally – it leaves the accusation hanging in the air that if he could perpetrate a clone of an “official” web site even for amusement what else could he do for political advantage
Alex at the least has been a very silly boy and may live to regret that warm summer afternoon’s work in August
The Wire has been shown on BBC 2 but at the ridiculous hour (for most people) of 11.20 p.m, thus ensuring a very small audience. The parallels are very interesting, Baltimore, run by local politicians and apparatchiks,with an obsession with spin and stats v the people on the ground trying to do their job the police + the gangsters, the joke is they are all gangsters. Ring any bells?
Labour are stupid at highlighting this accusation by Grayling; as the are MANY parallels and similarities between Labour’s Britain and ‘the wire’. Now those who have not seen it will be getting the DVDs and looking for them.
It also wastes no time in telling us drugs are bad! mm’kay.
And that’s ALL it says.
Which must be why it’s so admired.
Because of simple minded bullshit like that being peddled by fucktard politicians
Those who work it is, but remember this is the BBC scheduling department we are talking about, must keep those who are not having to get up in the morning happy.
Sally Gainsbury wrote the site for him, she works for the (HSLJ) Health Service Labour Journal.
Alex might like to check the details of the US extradition treaty his Labour mates brought in from dragging UK citizens in chains across the Atlantic.
Good point .
I think you’ll find impersonating a US municipal official is a federal offence – the penalty for which is a jail term or fine. Let’s hope the Baltimore Mayor has a sense of humour
Still Baltimore should be nice in “the fall”
Iain Dale has just tweeted that she thinking of taking legal action.
Still its one way to avoid losing a parliamentary election (again) if your frog marched onto a plane for the US thanks to Labour’s no extradition justice for English people charged with crime abroad laws.
PR week are axing his column over gross misconduct? He’s be left on his 15K Game Changer salary……
At some point this afternoon Al Beeb noticed that their news quiz had been hoaxed, and so there is a new question about Gen Dannart’s wine bill – nothing about that shower of shit who wanted to find out or what they were up to.
Isn’t odd that there is no mention that they have been taken for a ride and that they have ‘removed’ the inconvenient matter from their website.
The “Page last updated at 08:46 GMT, Friday, 28 August 2009 09:46 UK”. A load of bollox, but at least some unkind souls have already taken screen saver shots. Even Orwell would be surprised by the untruthful nature of the Beeb.
Dannatt’s wine bill was an order of magnitude smaller than Ainsworthless’s wine bill.
General Sir Dannatt officially retired today, I wonder which Sunday broadsheet will be getting his story any time now??
Hopefully a broad sheet of some stature, and this man of integrity, has a good story to tell.
A man of very great integrity indeed, and Officer and a Gentleman.
Am I the only person here who wants to see Dannatt stand against Ainsworthless as an independent at the election? – would be fucking hilarious to see the cunt lose his seat to the man that ran the Army.
Steve,
Knowing Coventry quite well Ainsworth’s constituency is Coventry NE which has returned a Labour MP unbroken since 1974 and which comprisies Foleshill,Stoke,Wyken,Longford all predominantly immigrant areas of Coventry Labour could field a “donkey”(oops sorry they have I forgot ) and even in to-days climate get elected.Given the demographics etc realistically I would think that Gen Dannatt even given his record aginst Ainsworth’s would not poll as many votes as you hope although he is head and shoulders above Ainsworth although “Bungling Bob” HAS upset a few of his old mates in the constituency
http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/news/article-1208404/As-MoS-poll-reveals-67-want-Britain-Afghanistan-does-Labour-care-all.html
Oh Steve, we would all love Dannatt to stand
Howvever, if you have been in the army all your life, been shot at, bombed, shelled and terrorised, why would you williingly offer yourself up to Westminster.
The personal bile that will spew from the Labour PR machine during the next election will be worse than any front line.
We cannot expect Dannatt to accept that poisoned challice
Actually Dannatt’s wine bill was in the original.
The replacement question is about “Chinglish”
[...] has a fantastic story on his site [...]
Be careful they don’t call you racist Guido for using the monkey word.
Apparently Michael Gove pissed in his pants when he read it
We should be angry at this crap that going on, enough is enough, no leadership, no sense of direction just drift, get this lot OUT!
PS, has’nt someone, somewhere got something on this excuse for a government that would bring them down?
Yes – but you’re not allowed to know what it is.
Pissing in his pants is what little Oiky Gove does for recreation though
This song is used in the season 2 finale of the wire. Montage on the death of the American working class…http:

Gotta be
But drugs are bad mmm’kay! Aren’t they Mr Grayling ?
Almost as funny as knobcheese slaphead Chris Grayling pretending he had watched all of the wire or even understood any of it as he pushed the “drugs are bad! mmm’kay” line the other day
I’ll rely on the maker of the wire David Simon who said months ago he had wandered down the wrong streets of Dublin Britian and Europe and laughed as he said they never felt the same as Baltimore.
Fucking slaphead.
Haven’t you already posted that?
Must be the ketamine.
Good to see it’s clearly touched a raw nerve
Must be the unquestioning lickspittle fawning of anything Mr Grayling says
No, you twat, you’ve posted that sub-Marxoid drivel twice! Obviously stoned, you mong!
It’s incompetent no hopers like the BBC and Sunny Hundel and the Guardian who’ll be wondering within the decade why they have no jobs anymore.
Because any mug can copypasta the delicious cake churned out from the internet so your all obsolete dino’s now.
I think this is blogg sccop of the week ! nice one fawkes makes journos who reprted it look a bit rubbish . could be trouble for Alex hilton !
suggested T shirt design broon facing a set of five boxes with noel edmunds and Mr Blooby rolling about laughing in deal or no deal , each box contains a tax bombshell of 15k .
Gb “I will get on with the job and choose in july 2010 when i am in my 4th term”
I watched Hilton on SKY News recently and thought he did rather well as he came across as a complete dick. I take it that is what he is paid to do ?
Must be related to Paris Hilton then as she is very familiar with dicks
Did Alex’s older sister Paris do his coursework for him when he was at school ? Just Wondering. “A”grades all round horrah !
At least he didn’t photoshop a white woman’s head onto the mayor of Baltimore.
Eh, Microsoft ? twats.
Much like the BBC filming white nurses when the NHS has done something wrong and black nurses when it’s good news.
grow up i bet they employee more blacks than you ever have you non entity.
“slurrrrp slurp slurp slllluuuuurp!! slurp! slurrrrp slurp slurp slllluuuuurp!! slurp!”
Sorry Mr Drone I can’t hear you very well with Microsofts knob in your mouth
well spotted spin within spin
Not that I would want to patronise you or anything, but shouldn’t that be employ not employee? Have you just received an A pass at GCSE English by any chance?
The UK Labour Party has revealed that its administration over the past few years has actually been a spoof !!! Fighting back laughter a source close to the spoof Government said ” You didnt really think we were serious with this shower of incompetents, Balls-Cooper, Harman, Blunket and Brown for christs sake !!!
Ho ho ho Oh how we laughed.
This isn’t that funny, it’s serious. This spoof has revealed the way in which the last 12 years has been a load of complete drivel and spin repeated without thought by the left wing media. FFS
I see the fucking drug taking kuntz at the BBC did fall for it. 3.5 fucking billion a year and those druggie twats can’t get their facts right.
FUCKING BBC RENT BOY BASTARDS
http://plato-says.blogspot.com/2009/08/quiz-of-week-bbc-fell-for-it-too.html
Not only that, kuntz is also a fantastic track on the Butthole Surfers’ first album.
“7pm: The Mayor of Baltimore’s media spokesman has just been on Sky News saying that they are going to take legal action against Alex Hilton. A bit of an overreaction, I would have thought. It just shows how what seems like a funny joke can spiral out of control.” Iain Dale
entertainment
this is the story that keeps on giving
it just gets funnier all the time
much entertainment

“He’s wasting taxpayers of Baltimore’s money by having us deal with this issue. I hope he gets elected so he can waste his own taxpayer’s money.”
oooo dodgy McBridish for a potential candidate I would have thought
And if a court case comes to fruit during the elections .?..ah well ..he can go and hold hands with dale sitting in the wings still dreaming of £150k expenses pa for little or no effort.
ALEX HILTON AND GUIDO ARE HERO’S OFF OUR TIMES.
The Hilton statement Guido appears to have missed
“OK, so I’m just having a bit of fun at Chris Grayling’s expense. Sitting in the office on a hot August afternoon, I was fantasising that I was Mayor of Baltimore and how annoyed I would be. I hope you very quickly picked up that this was a spoof. Didn’t mean to break any laws or ethical mores – please don’t extradite me if I have unwittingly done so. Hope you appreciate the humour, Alex Hilton”
Phew that’s a relief thought for a moment you were going to say that Alex Hilton and Guido are heroes of our times.
That’s twice this week the British Labour Party has, err, made the Stateside news in less than flattering light… I wonder how it’s playing with the average US citizen? I’d love to know.
Kennedy died. Michael Jackson is now being investigated for Homicide. The Healthcare debate rages. And now there is a remarkable decades old kidnap story resolved.
You really think the U.S. News Networks and public are paying attention to this ?
Bless
Fuck the BBC. Kuntz Kuntz Kuntz. Shit stabbing bastards
Fuck the BBC right up the ass!
They are worse than Hitler, Stalin and the Black Plague combined.
They eat babies and turn right wingers into homosexuals and Communists.
They made the Banks ruin the Economy and made Gordon Brown Prime Minister.
They forced Cameron to defend the NHS and Afghanistan.
They started the Iraq War by making Bush and Blair morons.
They made Tony Blair Prime Minister by killing John Smith.
They secretly forced MP’s take all the expenses money
And they gave Robert Peston his silly voice to drive people mad.
Did I miss anything ?
[...] they think it embarrasses the Tories. Although quite why he would want to show that is beyond me. Guido details some of the reasons why no journalist should have been caught out by this story:The fake press [...]
I wonder if Grayling will remind the BBC during his next live interview that they may need to either check their sources or get their facts right or just give him an apology and Recess Monkey some credit for showing them up.
Odd ? Recess Monkey was pretty fucking clear who he was showing up
“OK, so I’m just having a bit of fun at Chris Grayling’s expense”
And the BBC could easily ask Grayling how many murders there were in Baltimore compared to Manchester should the subject of factchecking come up
I don’t disagree that Graying was being sent up, but for the BBC, The Gruaniad and The Independent are shown up to be too ready to bash The Baby Eaters without checking the veracity of the source.
Hmm, interesting shenanigans.
I’m off to dupe the BBC and other lefties with a fake website that claims passive smoking kills within half an hour. And the BBC and Grauniad will lap it up without doing any checking!
Oh wait…. ASH beat me to it.
And the BBC did indeed report it as fact. As did the other left-wing rags.
Buggar.
I’m stumped now – I don’t think I can actually take the mickey more than ASH and their ilk already do. Oh well, I’ll make something up about alcohol instead.
[...] LabourHome, leaving many in the left wing media with faces redder then their politics. Naturally, Guido and Iain Dale have lapped up the story, leading to the kind of predictable backlash from the likes [...]
So, the BBC reported it as fact, ie because it was an anti-tory story they just report it as-is no matter what, don’t bother to check anything, as long as it’s anti-tory then they’ll recount it as fact.
This is the new “smear” tactic being used by labour/bbc; they create smear stories and then instead of calling them “smears” they call them “jokes” or “spoofs” when they get found out.
This was intentional smearing by the BBC and by labour. They hope to circumvent libel laws by calling things “spoofs” whilst still reporting them as facts.
[...] Only last week he was telling us how he and Chris Grayling shared a laugh over the Mayor of Baltimore spoof. All very chummy. [...]
