Professor Prezza’s Porkies
Professor Prezza is very excitedly Twittering about the government’s announcement that they plan to do some pump priming on the home building front. John Healey announced today that 47 councils will share in a grant of £127 million to build what amounts to about 30 homes per council.
They will be completed by 2011. So Prezza is, in a sense, wrong when he tweets that you won’t get this from a Tory government. He is also wrong in the wider sense, after all in’t it under the Tories that the most council homes have been built? Harold Macmillan promised to build 300,000 a year and ended up building a million. A building programme unmatched by Labour. In fact Labour this year are actually knocking down 3,000 homes.
Professor Prezza needs to study a bit more history…
Prof prezza, he’s like a champion of stuff, good reinvention eh?
I just did a quick calc and the £127 million is probably fewer than thirty houses per local authority. You need to include land purchase as well as build costs. I think it’s proably fewer than twenty houses! Prezza is such a gift we should cherish and nurture his gifts for gaffs.
isn’t this jumping the gun a touch Guido ol chap ?
with the Conservative Conference still to come and the manifesto still being worked on it’s safe to assume that any large scale policy on building homes simply hasn’t been leaked or fully formed yet
which isn’t to say there will be a huge building programme announced by Mr Cameron but it’s not out of the question and it would be surprising if this was an area of Policy neglected or glossed over
I’d wait for a bit before being definitive on what the Conservatives will or will not do about housing programmes and tackling the related problems
fatboy Prezza can blow off all he wishes as he had 12 years to do something meaningful instead of twittering crumbs and spin at the last minute
Prescott the fat fucker can`t read or absorb anything outside a MacDonalds` why people bother with an ignorant Huhne is beyond my understanding of low life
And…
…what actually _did_ become of all those tractors that the tyrannids (said they) produced? And the _grain_ that they (said that they) harvested?
The tractors were melted down into AK-47s for the Taliban; the grain was distilled into vodka to placate the masses during happy hour. Obvious, innit.
By the time the councils get their hands on the cash they wont need it, as all the immigrants will have went home as things will be better in Nigeria. UK rationing is coming cause these knackers have spent all the cash prosecuting a War that is cannot be won. If only we had had a democracy our elected representatives could have and should have saved us from this fool hardie exploit, chasing highly trained CIA operatives around the globe
Nigerians?? Too right the houses will never get built. I’m sure they’ll be sold though – probably via e-mail!
If they fitted gold faucets the value would go up automatically and they would pay for themselves.
Believe me, things are NOT better in Nigeria. However, Prescott is a prize clown…and needs to stop saying stuff as though people might listen. It is SO annoying….like that little prick at school…Shut the fuck up!
Yes, and how many of the new tenants will pay rent?
Oh you can trust Prezza, – he’s a genius of the first water – like wot orl of us are in Noo_Lie_Bore, – the party of weirdos and wastrels.
This generous “gift” from Liebore is like the free plastic ring in the cornflake packet – only without the cornflakes. Does Presclott seriously think we will be fooled by this bribe, using our own money, especially after all the bureaucrats have been paid their 30 pieces? The man is a moron.
Oh for a ‘were you up for Prescott’ moment at the next General Election.
I worry for our green and pleasant land though. I remember we had loads of hospitals, dentists, police stations, surgery’s built at around the same time that poster was printed. Oh and schools.
green and pleasant land. that piffle won’t wash ‘fraid.
google it. this country is largely empty.
you sound like an apologist for landowners.
get orf my land eh?
This country is largely empty? Have you ever visited it? Where do you think your food comes from? What do you think all those field things are for?
Pillock.
you have lost it engineer.
most of our food comes from abroad you cretin!
DOH!
you have made a complete fool of yourself old man, and you have betrayed your own agenda.
excellent. I love drawing trolls like the engineer out. sometimes it takes a while but they fall into the great thick as thieves traps in the end.
you idiot engineer.
We currently import 40% of our food, so most of it is grown here. Check your facts, TwaT.
I repeat – you are a pillock.
UK 62% food self sufficient, and falling, BBC1 ‘future of Food’ re-educating that it is inevitable that we will buy more and more from abroad, with what?
Foraged blackberries lovely at the moment
Even the government have woken up to this. Hilary Benn recently called upon farmers to produce more, which is quite possible given that farmers are no longer subsidised to set aside land.
Some comestibles are going to waste. This year has been a bumper year for damsons, but the few growers still producing them are finding it very hard to sell them. Shame – they make belting jam, and even better damson gin.
you dopey old man.
you have not counted the CAP subsidy food that we pay for but is destroyed.
that makes your 40% guestimate incorrect.
DOH!
you’re an idiot engineer. my whole opinion of you has changed from pity to dislike.
you’ve been found out my old china.
Foraged blackberries are good. But foraged venison is better.
I’d like to thank the motorists of West Sussex for my perpetually packed freezer. One man’s busted radiator, light cluster and indicator is another man’s Sunday roasts for two months.
TaT, the CAP went several years ago, and was replaced by the Single Farm Payment, which, if you recall, Margaret Beckett and DEFRA promptly made a right mess of administering.
Again, check your facts – you pillock.
engineer, tread carefully old duffer, watch your tongue, eh?
I am top boy for a reason old man.
you are clearly in a tetchy and churlish mood, haven’t you had your tea yet?
you have desperately resorted to trying to score a cheap pro EU point about what the thieves in the EU call their department that steals our cash. you are pathetic and weak engineer, grow a fucking spine you coward. you are pro EU innit. you turncoat.
my point is this: never mind your waffle, 95% of the land in this country is owned by 5% of the population and what arable land we do have is being poisoned by use of chemicals to increase yield because those who own tha land will not release it for the greater good. we have plenty of land in this country you dullard, but those who own that land would rather watch us poison our foods for short term gain than make enough land available to feed the population of the country. that’s not very patrtiotic is it?
’tis not a case of let them eat cake, it’s more like: let the peasants die from cancer caused by pesticides and hang on to the land to increase the price of it. tally ho! what a super wheeze, eh?
but let us see if we can agree on the premise that the best way forward for food supply in this country is to produce foodstuffs locally and to grow it with the minimal amount of chemicals, and without any chemicals whatsoever whenever possible.
as well as local commercial supply we also need to increase the number of allotments so people can grow their own food.
we have been putting up with inferior quality food in this country for too long.
this worse than useless government’s policy is to introduce GM crops.
such unsafe untested crops have not been proved safe for human consumption.
that just about sums up this new labour government, they fuck up then they introduce a solution more harmful than the original problem.
our food supply is being poisoned as is our democracy.
here endeth the lesson.
Blimey, TaT, have you been reading the Greenpeace website or something?
And I’m not pro-EU. I want out.
good.
fuck greenpeace though, they are just a bunch of useful idiots being used as front men by the government to justify tax increases.
I am talking generally about a sustainable model of capitalism albeit with diminished growth cycles.
as business thrives on efficiency we could, as we did with the combustion engine and the industrial revolution, reclaim our position as the most advanced energy creators in the world.
our dependence upon oil has caused us many problems.
you are the engineer: tell us about the viability of harvesting lunar power.
Thick as Thieves;
From reading your posts I’m reasonably sure you’ve been harvesting “lunar power” since about lunchtime.
Agreed my friend.
If there was a way of harvesting “loony power”, TaT would be an almost inexhausible source.
and the crowds flooded onto the thread to watch the spectacle; the great thick as thieves was surrounded by the trolls who only felt safe to attack him when their boyfriends were around.
but they were no match for our righteous hero and he outwitted them all and cracked their skulls open then stamped on their troll brains.
the end.
I thought that, after Guido threatened to ban him, Thick as Shit agreed not to come on this site any more.
My wife is thinking of planting rice in our back garden next year.
Fuckwits like tat don’t need facts, they just need their predudices.
tat obviously read a short article about farming in the Guardian in 1986 and failed to understand it even then.
I have checked my records and it shows that none of you imbeciles are members of the thick as thieves fan club and as you are not you have no right to any face time with the indefatigable thick as thieves.
fill out the forms and keep your subs up to date and then you will be allowed to interact with your hero.
contact terminated.
Rat a tat tat, tat can spell, you can’t.
barefootcontessa cannot tell the difference between a typo and a spelling error.
Largely empty in places like Wales, Scotland and the North maybe. In other words places where there are no jobs. So lets just plonk down a few hundred thousand houses where no one wants to live. Great idea that. Oh and never mind building on agricultural land it’s not like we need it for food production or anything. You sir are a half-wit.
ditto infidel.
you have exposed your position infidel.
imbecile.
TAT and reallity had a bypass some time ago. About 1 in 4 homes built in the last 20 years has been built on flood plain , ie where they should not have been built . When you spray that much tarmac and concrete round in the wrong place, the whole drainage / run off system is put out of balance.
This country can sustain a population of 30 , max 40 , million people and still be able to feed itself and not degrade the eco system.
Nulabs’ open door system for every economic migrant that could climb inside a lorry container , will actually be their very worst , of a fearfully long list , of fuck ups with long term consequences.
what has building on flood plains got to do with me you dullard?
you tories will have to get your story straight. if you want a limit on population then you had better tell dave because dave is pro europe and therefore in favour of unlimited population.
you are very dim and seem to think I am arguing in favour of unlimited immigration, I am not, I am arguing in favour of improving our infrastructure to be able to increase the population within sustainable levels.
and I am also in favour of a visa exchange system with other countries on a one for one basis. it is not good for host or home countries to gain and lose hundreds of thousands of people in short periods of time because it has a destabilising effect on both nations populations, economies and services.
but you cripples carry on with your knee jerk reactions, after all, you are tories!
TaT. I’d rather be a landowner that everyone can enjoy than a living on tarmac and concrete. Remember TaT- Green and pleasant (more or less) is the mother nature default setting. Concrete ain’t.
You have to understand, Tat, that building on flood plains has certainly contributed to the flooding problems we are now faced with.
Flood plains are there for a reason – to flood when the water level rises. If there are no flood plains because housing developments have been built on them, the water will go elsewhere – which is why people’s homes are getting flooded.
Simples.
Fuck off TAT at least Engineer knows what he’s talking about and gives the impression that he is or has actually worked as an Engineer during his life and isn’t bullshitting. Which means he’s actually contributed to and progressed society.
Which brings us to your ”Forte” or lack of TAT, bullshitting…. that’s all you seem to be capable of and it isn’t a ”quality” contribution or progression to society now is it…….
62% sufficient in food production is a fearsome 38% deficient. I am grateful that we were not in quite that bad a situation back in the early ‘thirties, nor again in the early ‘forties. People don’t seem to understand that being dependent on others for our dinner is just as worrisome as being dependent on others for the gas to cook it with.
dear george,
you haven’t got a clue sunshine, not a fucking clue.
contribution? well, let me see, oh yeah: I have changed the terms of the debate motherfucker. good one innit.
who came up with the line about gordon brown being a ditherer? moi.
who called the outcome on hitlery and mccain getting thrashed by obama? moi.
and who has been kicking trolls asses and bashing their fucking brains on order order for the last two years – two fucking years motherfucker? encore, moi.
I won’t have some johnny come lately slag like you telling the great thick as thieves what’s what. you fucking cripple fuck off scum.
oh, and I cannot deny that I do frequently deal in rhetoric but then so did churchill and as this is a political blog don’act so surprised you spastic.
tit.
Ran into Greenpeace; (or was it friends of the earth?) at lunchtime today on Victoria Street. Asked me if I would support some energy campaign or other. Told them no; they were counter democratic electoral cowards & felt immune from rule of law when it came to protesting because of their beliefs which put them in the same category as religious zealots … if they wanted to force country to change policy on energy they’d better have a go at being accountable and why didn’t they have the courage to stand for parliament themselves …
Thank you. Feel better now.
I just Say “Eco-Fascist loons” and walk by.
You really are mental aren’t you tat, trying to compare yourself to Churchill – what planet are you on? Talk about an over inflated opinion that borders on narcissism. Churchill spoke without needing to call everyone a spastic or a cripple, and when he did feel the need speak ill of someone, his putdowns were legendary.
You on the other hand have the wit of a schoolkid who hasn’t even made it to secondary school when it comes to insults.
but you are a zionist fascist anticitizen, shouldn’t you and and the fascist greenpeace mob hook up and form some sort of an eco-zionist fascist coalition?
“This country is largely empty” – wtf? Not in my neck of the woods t(w)at. The pressure from immigation and a growing population (mainly in the South East) mean that building new houses is a priority, but not a reality.
Oh stop whinging; Shepherds Bush has a bush and a green bit by the bus depot but I concede it ain’t pleasant and I don’t want to see the whole nation ending up like Shepherds Bush that hasn’t got any woods let alone for necking
It was a few years ago, but the last time I tried to get from one part of the south east to another, it was a fuggin’ nightmare. It’s so overcrowded; inadequate roads for all the four-by-fours and temporary traffic light queues every few miles. Throw in the all too common accidents and you need your own helicopter to get around. The area’s been way over-developed.
We also had Bushes. But they contributed to global warming, leading to a global meltdown!
Labour also closed, from 1964 to 1979,
273 MORE hospitals
than the Tories did from 1951 to 1964 AND 1970-1974 combined….
Labour peerages cost a lot more than Conservative ones. The scum need to be enobled in more than just rank and that’s where the money’s required.
They closed 273 small or antiquated hospitals and replaced them with large newly built modern ones.
The bigger they are the harder to keep sanitized as Hattie used to say.
Probalby the hospitals that got stolen from the mutual societies that owned them on the creation of the monstrous N”H”S
It’s all gorn tits up – innit?
Still, – I’ve got me modest little palace in that foreign place – wos it called agin?
That’ll be Maidstone.
When are they going to prosecute the BaronessU?
I see she is still undertaking official engagements. What a disgrace!!!
SHHHHHHHH !!!! I’M ESCAPING !!!
I think they left a few noughts off – I would think the need is nearer 2,000,000 new homes NOT 2,000 BUT don’t forget we saved the best until now -”THE RECESSION IS OVER!” all thanks to the superb leadership of Gordon and Alistair and people have never had it so good what with low interest rates and low mortgage rates(er providing you’ve got a job in the “public sector” that is -)Hallelujah – spread the message says an ecstatic BBC
The dark Lord comments so are we being prepared for the dead Brown bounce as many had feared?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/default.stm
In other words, we are entering a brief window of illusory stability before inflation roars into life sometime next year. You might call it an ‘election window.’
correct Guido, the tories built more council houses than labour.
the lack of council houses directly contributed to the housing bubble.
if dave commits to a major housebuilding programme he will be able to steal hardcore supporters away from labour and he will also counter working class support of the british nazi party.
No tat. Borrowing 30bn quid a year to employ one million box-tickers, arseholes and bastards cluttering up council offices and NHS administration blocks created the housing bubble.
If those million fuckers were being paid supplementary benefit which is all the majority of the c-unts are good for then they wouldn’t have been able to bid up the price of housing to the insane levels it reached.
Would they?
The nhs alone employs 1.5million. It is amongst the four biggest employers in the world and second oly to the chinese army.
No wonder we can’t afford to equip our army.
But if we sacked all the NHS BureauNazis, about 1,485,980, and conscripted them all into the services, the followng would happen:-
(1) We’d have an enormous budget surplus which culd be spent on proper weaponry and mineproof vehicles,
(2) We’d have a HUGE army of functionally-untrainable and unfit saddos.
Better just to kill and eat the sacked BureauNazis, keep the money, and buy a couple of Chinooks from the Yanks, WITHOUT letting the MOD modify them into uselessness.
Oh and we might then be able to get The Tank repaired in time to rescue another NYT “Journalist”.
jgm2, I can’t believe you are denying the effects of supply on the housing market.
you are allowing your prejudice on one subject to alter your view on another.
there is much that can be done to improve the nhs.
natural wastage can take care of many of the problems and if resources from the dead wood are re-allocated to the front line we would see service levels jump.
it can be done.
but first labour must be ousted.
There was no problem with supply in the 1989/1992 housing crash. Supply is not the problem this time either.
If you suddenly borrow 30bn quid and employ one million imbeciles (imbeciles by definition because prior to you borrowing 30bn quid they couldn’t get a job) then what effect do you thing increasing the ‘workforce’ by 5% has on a static number of available houses? These fuckers pump up the price like nothing on earth. Because the price is set at the margin.
If these fuckers had remained on the dole our hosuing wouldn’t have soared thus sucking in an additional one or two million Eastern Europeans to build even shitter BTL flats and serve the one million new Government employees their Mochochinos from Starbucks in between diversityworkshops and H&S briefings.
Thus further increasing the demand on available housing and pumping the whole bubble up even further.
The whole bust and economic disaster starts and ends with the Maximum Imbeciles decision to hide one million people from the dole by inventing one million unnecessary jobs. If he’d just declared the ‘disabled’ he’d have achieved the same effect for a fraction of the cost and without putting 30bn quid a year in the hands of imbeciles.
I’d better clarify. Supply is not the problem. The problem was the annual borrowing of 30bn quid to employ one million arseholes which artificially pumped up the demand.
All economic shit since 2001 flows from this decision.
Actually JGM you are wrong and right.
The problem was that the government via regulation created an massive over-abundant supply of Credit that basically lowered house affordability Ratio houses to incomes).
put simply.
Credit Demand/Credit Supply = Land Cost.
TaT, There are no more houses now than 2 years ago, but prices are off 15% on average. Surely this falsifies your “theory” that houses are in shortage.
Tat is evidently an uneducated teenage moron. Why do you bother responding to it?
TaT is not worth debating with. These pro-europe left wing facists are finished but I would still defend his right to be offensive to his neighbor.
comrade brown, ’tis a good question innit.
they answer because they hope if they interact with my genius then some of it will rub off on them and they hope it will make them less dullardly. I help the afflicted.
ivor,
pro europe, me? you must be on acid. I am 100% anti EU.
the EU constitution cannot override the British Constitution, that is the fact of the matter.
What a big fat wally he is.
OT.
Burnham on Mayo’s Labour political broadcast this afternoon on 5Live.
‘This Government effectively saved the NHS from bankruptcy back in 1997′.
The New Lie from New Liebour is born.
got to pay twice for everything anyway so let the fecker die.
Besides which Labour has gone one better and the Tories will probably have to save the entire country not just the NHS from bankruptcy. Burnham is a slimy little toad so be prepraed for much more NuLabour rewriting of history in the coming months aided and abetted of course by their political journalistic wing AlJabeeba.
Eleven years later and we saved the world’s banks as well !!
We’re geniuses, are n’t we ??
Oi Prezzer – G&T please – chop chop now
Yes, but be fair to him, certain nulab types did very nicely thank you, out of the various house demolition and refurbishment programmes. Isn’t the spawn of prescott himself refered to as a property developer ? ( And putative MP ).
Is property developer a euphemism for hoon?
Are you quite sure about a million homes, the old poster talks about homes for a million, not a million homes. Still its the sort of number Pressa will only see in a nulab expense claim…
Will Prezza Twitter further that in the unlikely event that this one comes off it won’t actually be a gift from New Labour but a further £127 million from the taxpayer.
Do these bastards really think populist gestures like this will save their necks at the general election. Pathetic!
2,000 homes and 5,000 jobs, note the nice round numbers, it has to be a work of fiction. How else will this clown remember the impact. Joke figures for a figure of fun, or is it buff hoon
…that hoon – in the buff?
eaurgh-garghh-sthpttt-heurgh-hicchreucchh-sthptphtt.
Oh, that’s better.
No: here it comes again:eaurgh-garghh-sthpttt-snurff-hmphm-hmphmph-spleurgth-wraachth-gargh
Hoon yes, buff no!
170,000 jobs have been lost in the UK construction industry this year alone. 5,000 new ones? woohoo.
Who’d a thunk it – a Labour politician telling lies?
Whatever next?
Prescott is tub of lard ripple, a veritable bucket of Vienetta and peanuts puke
What a lovely keynsian conservative party.
You obviously missed the bit today about the Audit Commission slagging off the government for applying pressure on councils to build homes rather than renovate old ones.
The AC reckons the latter provides more bang per buck.
The only problem with Professor Porky’s 1,000 council homes per year (for a whopping 2 years) is a net immigration figure of 237,000 (according to statistics.gov.uk).
Still, Porky’s not worried. He’s got a lovely house. It should be, because we paid for it.
I find Labours plan to tarmac over England & build houses so that we resemble some communist craphole from the seventies a wee bit at odds with all this global warming mumbo jumbo they spout on about.
Anyway, now the good times are over no self respecting immigrant is coming here to fill those new homes to vote Labour now.
These plans of Prescotts are hideous – they will destroy the English countryside – & contribute enormously to man made global warming.
Their hypocrisy never stops does it?
This is tantamount to gerrymandering & ethnic cleansing of the English rural communities.
Still, I doubt Trevor Philips can spare any of his £93,000,000 a year budget to represnt us.
I always remember when Tony Blair was asked on some programme or other which part of the English countryside he liked and admired for it’s beauty.For a moment, hollow eyed he appeared not to understand the question.
I’m sure that remains Labour philosophy now. They don’t understand.
Tony didn’t like the countryside. That’s why they were seldom at Chequers.
they don’t like draughts, either.
If he doesn’t like the countryside, why did he buy a mansion in Buckinghamshire? Unless the dear Cherie fantasized about becoming a milk maid, or even a lady of the manor?
127 – he bought somewhere? with his own money?
Oh yes they do!
They understand that country people loath them and everything they stand for. They know that we will NEVER vote for them and therefore they can dump any and all the urban problems onto us and not lose a single MP.
Blair loves the countryside, he can’t wait to inhabit a mansion in it.
He was just wondering which lie he needed to tell to answer the question.
“This is tantamount to gerrymandering & ethnic cleansing of the English rural communities.”
Was there not a government sponsored report last year, that described the countryside as “hideously white” or words to that effect?
It makes you wonder why the countryside is hideously white, doesn’t it?
Could it be the same reason why Africa is hideously black?
Or why Japan is hideously Japanese?
if we tarmac over the grassland of our fair and sunny country at least we won’t have cows farting everywhere, thereby redcing emissions drastically
Plus it will reduce the amount of greenspace those pikey types are able to tarmac over.
I would take up that slack, so to speak.
In fairness to Prezza, he probably doesn’t realise that he’s spouting rubbish. Some spad has fed him some factoids and he regurgitates them without really knowing too much about the background, or bothering to check.
“The Green Belt is a Labour achievement and we intend to build on it.”
Very good, very good
Fair to the fat pie-chomping twat? He’s spent the whole of his political life being utterly fucking useless. And we’ve paid for it.
He said, remember? ‘I’m going to solve the transport problems of this country. The hell he did! He’s a fat, ugly, useless pie face.
if he says it – Kev Maguire gets to report it – that’s how the lie is spread..
Saw McGuire on Sky the other night discussing papers – Billy Bragg meets Ben Elton – looked worried – writ from Nadine perhaps.
Why do BBC and Sky still allow him on?
because he’s the best…
hahahah just a joke, he’s shit and we know it!!
Prescott is that unpleasant he makes himself puke
So the great initiative trumpeted by Prezza costing £127 million is eerily close to the amount of money which could be saved (£120 million) by making cut backs in the Houses of Parliament canteen and expenses as proposed by Cameron, not I suspect an idea close to Prescott’s heart. Didn’t I hear a lot of things about the millions of houses New Labour intended, nay were committed to building, so we get 2,000 (maybe), we’ve got more families than that dropping in via Eurostar every week, another day another sound bite!
I wonder if Prezza would sneeze like his fellow labour peeps, Andy Burnham and Ed (ah, ah, AH CHOO) Balls? Don’t miss it – video on the beeb now!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8246465.stm
Priceless, this is what to do kids, wipe your snotty noses on your sleeve, But Balls has only just moved on from wiping his arse on the carpet, educasion educashion, etc.
Taken down, too off message
BBC link message now is: “this content does not seem to be working”, I guess that’s what you call a disclaimer, a catch all phrase for mysterious internet viruses which they can cure by wiping their snotty sleeves.
It’s there! I just watched it again (yuck, yuck).
What is wrong with these people? Have they never heard of a handkerchief?
Yes, it’s what they knot at each corner and place on their heads before declaring, “My brain hurts”.
The video proves that the country really would be better of with a gaggle of Gumbies hitting themselves on the head with bricks than with what passes for government these days.
fatty fatty fatty
I’ll go and sit with Maths in the corner
The figures just do not add up.
39 Councils, 47 houses, that is 1410 houses, for 127 million, that is each house is to be buit for about £90,000.
That sum allows nothing for land value and infrastructure costs.
Interestingly even a house built for £90,000 and rented out at a ‘social’ rent of say £50/week, or £2,500 a year allowing for rent collection , maintenance etc, makes very little contribution to the capital and interest on the money used to fund the house.
In short a continuing burden on the tax payer
They are probably blocks of flats.
Which will be nice, innit
Yes:like the ones that nice Mr Ceaucescu built, so that all the poor rural people could live and work in the towns. What ever happened to him, I often wonder?
‘What happened to him was what should happen to him.
Shot like a dog along with his bitch of a wife.
192 Down here, we normally hang them – in the Kitchen, jus’ as they used to in Isaac Walton’s days – cos the maggots are ‘andsome for bait!
This is only the start. As the election approaches whole swathes of NuLabour history will be re-written and covered over just like the green fields of this country. Naturally it will be the nasty Tories and SNP cause all the problems etc etc.
2010 cannot come quick enough
No matter what sort of project it is, once your project is up and running, you need to keep equal opportunities in mind. National and Regional Mainstreaming Action Plans have been produced to ensure that equal opportunities is MAINSTREAMED across the entire programme and across all policy fields within the programme.
But what does mainstreaming actually mean?
It means that policies, programmes and services should respond and aim to meet the needs of all groups in society by:
- ensuring that there is no discrimination at any level of dealings with people
- proactively dealing with barriers to participation, progression and success.
Equal opportunities mainstreaming involves a systematic process of identification and integration of equal opportunities into all aspects of the planning and implementation of the programme including monitoring and evaluation. It involves identifying LESSONS LEARNED and promoting good practice in equal opportunities through appropriate dissemination strategies.
And may I just say one thing.
From now on, each and every one of you mofos needs to ensure that equal opportunities underline every activity you undertake and includes your project (eg blowing your nose), your own organisation and your partner organisations. You will need to demonstrate:
-how equal opportunities issues have been taken into account in the design and preparation of the project
- how equal opportunities issues will inform the implementation and monitoring of the project
- that your own organisation has an equal opportunities statement, policy and implementation plan
- that you partner organisations have an equal opportunities awareness, statement, policy and procedures
- that you comply with Equal Opportunities Legislation Acts
So you’d all better make sure you’ve got your ducks lined up.
Can you take a run and jump off the highest and nearest goverment/Liebour roof top please.
Oh dear, I forgot to ask that electrician I employed this morning if he was an equal opportunities employer, Oh silly me
Oh do shut-up, Harriet.
I willing to bet that Harriet has a non job advertised in the Gardian.
NO USE TO THE UK the wealth of the UK or the working people of the UK.
Another waste of space. A BLOODY PARASITE… Prob. with an “olagy” paid for by the tax payer or wealthy mum and dad
These people should grow up in the real world!!!!!!!
To add get a productive job not earn money off the poor taxpayer.
bloody wanker
It’s Charles E Hardwidge and I claim the fiver.
I feel sure north kesteven district council is not paying your extremely high salary and providing you with computer equipment so that you can waste your time and ratepayers money, sitting on here writing your drivel, pretending to be harriett.
And since your council is tory led they will not be happy that one of their officer’s is using their time and money to spread labour propaganda.
Guido?
Hildegard – is this lifted from some politically correct bureaucracy, or did you make it up? If it’s your invention it is very realistic, capturing the basic insanity of these people.
Hildegard’s done some neat cutting and pasting.
Stand back and marvel at the insolence of the State gussets who actually do concoct such claptrap – and at how we’ve let them get away with it.
Budgie – It is lifted from here.

While researching Hildegard’s latest screed, I discovered that there is a fully-staffed South East Region whose existence no-one ever voted for. This stuff would indeed be a comedy if we didn’t have to pay for it.
And to those who asked, yes, I am also the prankster behind the Hardwidge avatar who revolutionised the computer-gaming industry and quoted obscure Japanese poetry. Both characters were a function of boredom. That not everybody immediately realised they were jokes perhaps made them half-decent jokes but that is hard(widge)ly for me to judge. Toodle pip.
What are you doing here fascism’s useful idiot? Who cares about bloody equal opportunities? There’s no money to pay for it anyway you daft feminazi bitch!!!!
Not forgetting ‘Elf ‘n’ Safety regulations, innit.
This turgid nonsense has been bugging me all day – it was so reminiscent of something but I couldn’t think what. Now I know.
How are you, Charles E. Hardwidge?
You are a comedian, right?
Prescott is a fat, useless, hypocritical arsehole and anything he says is to be totally ignored.
How he was ever made a professor is way beyond my comprehension.
The man can’t even cobble a sentence together.
As per my 65, it can only be Professor of Pieology
Professor of pie eating at Fat Bastard Uni
Prescott vocabulary.
Pie, Where, Are, they, Waste, size, forty, eight
You forgot two words, Pauline loove.
Objection!
He is also vindictive, malicious and a chippy northern wanker.
I live in East Anglia, where Government are proposing to build a further 600,000 homes.
It can only be detrimental to the countryside, as swathes of housing estates already blight the landscape. All they want to do is concrete over everything.
luckily they haven’t got any money left to do jack shit with, always look on the bright side.
Well, I didn’t think so either, but they are still building houses here, and people are buying them. There are literally hundreds of acres earmarked here for Prescott’s housing project.
And when they are inevitably flooded the Labour bedwetters will shriek about Global Warming and conveniently forget it was their idiot masterplan that built the houses on a flood plain in the first place.
The Thames Gateway? What’s that all about? Are we trying to have our own little taste of Bangladesh in the UK? They’ll be washed away with the first monsoon.
And Labour (and Green) arseholes will be blaming ‘climate change’ instead of the arseholes that sited them there. And the imbeciles who bought them.
They are cheap you see. Londoners and others from high property value areas sell up, buy a house and a new car, a caravan, still got £30k in the bank. Some get jobs, some don’t. Some don’t need to. Not blaming them, by the way.
There is no sensible planning on a national level whatsoever.
In order to continue our investment in Britain, we’ll just print more money.
Worked for Mugabe. (He’s still in power, ain’t he?)
It all started with CO2… in America
How far do you suppose the extra weight will cause the land to sink ? Perhaps we should build dykes and rename East Anglia as New Holland.
There are parts of East Anglia which will erode over time. Some parts of North Norfolk and Suffolk will be underwater and houses in Norfolk are already falling over the cliffs.
Me too. Just been up to my village hall to meet 3 Council wonks display their lovely 200 house developments they’ve planned for our village on what are now 4 large fields owned by (you’d never guess) the Chairman of the Parish Council — he’s a farmer shortly to be a very very multi-millionaire farmer if his planning’s allowed.
We have really won top prize as we are suddenly “A Key Service Village”. Which means because we still have a shop (only just) and a doctors’ surgery and 2 buses a day into the nearest towns 10 miles away in each direction, they can treble our population. In addition we’ll have a state of the art Travellers’s site on the main road which the council has got a £735,000 grant to build for one ‘extended’ (their italics) family who’ve lived her for 18 months.
Several of us enquired when exactly we were asked if we wanted to be a Key Service Village and they blustered “meetings and consultations were carried out”. When were they carried out? “Last December” Not one villager knew a thing about it, I have checked through every parish council meeting minutes for the last year and this decision is not mentioned once.
The best bit was when I asked whether our district councillor had had notice of the plans, mentioning him by name, “Who’s he?”… “well actually, he’s your boss sweetie”.
I’m afraid to tell you Susie that there is nothing you can do about it. The corruption in this country is so rife even down to the agencies who are supposed to field independent complaints. It can only get worse unless we …….. our EU membership and the quango’s and regional development agencies
Suzie,
go for the Lesser Spotted Northamptonshire ( Black Backed) Newt Ploy. Lots of letters to English Nature and the local papers etc demanding that the site be listed as a tripple SSI.
Should hold the fuckers off long enough for a change of govt and possibility of an appeal.
4* works well for the pikey problem.
If they didn’t have some of these newts in the pond (which floods and when it does pumps raw sewage from surrounding houses into the stream which feeds it) I’m sure someone will try to get hold of a few to stock it.
What gets me is local families have been crying out for years for just a few ‘affordable’ village homes to cater for local needs and not one has been built, although at every PC meeting various schemes are discussed and have been for the last 10 years.
Then this year, they can suddenly afford to spend £3/4 million of quango public money on a pikey family who were only granted leave to stay on compassionate grounds 18 months ago ‘the other sites in the area were too big and noisy for them’ (poor loves) plus fund their planning application with more public money to the tune of £10,000, whereas the objectors have to scrape together a fighting fund to fight the proposals.
Then they impose hundreds of houses on us — not for local villagers — there aren’t 200 who need homes here, but for outsiders who will move in, wait for the property market to improve, sell up and move on. Leaving the residue criminal and feral problem families for the village to cope with for the next few decades.
The village school is bursting at the seams (and that’s before another 18 gipsy families start sending their kids there). The lanes are all single track and many areas of the village flood regularly as the pumping/sewage plant can’t cope with existing needs.
I also assume that like my local councils, WE pay for the building and materials and the private companies that run them take the profit, just like water, railways, gas, electricity etc.
Twas ever thus.
More fool us.
Withhold your Council Tax. Everyone. They can’t put us all in jail.
Withold it until they have either sacked or re-selected every Council Officer before a panel of local people picked at random in the same way they do juries.
Thats like som cun* turning up at your party with a half can of shandy bass and saying ‘Get stuck in’.
What about the much vaunted Eco Homes?
In my area alone we were to have 12,000 of the fucking things.
Thus far, Nixi pooch. Not that I’m complaining.
Nothing of substance under LABOUR just legislation,rules and quangos.
Better than some cun* turning up at your party with a bag full of empty beer bottles and a couple of house bricks.
It worked fer me, laddy.
I know.
Must be the only person who ate all the porky pies and spouts them out at the same time.
I’m sure there must be a ZaNuLiebor university course (Pieology?) to learn how to do that!
47 – Hildegard: your take-off is so brilliantly close to ‘the real thing’, that I think several people have not seen the rich irony in your posts: I believe Dean Swift had a similar problem with his pamphlet ‘A Modest & Easy Proposal…’
I wonder what Hildegard looks like. is she an Amazon, striding down the corridors of power, or is she a fragrant petite lady sitting at her computer terminal in a diaphanous negligee? How can I sleep tonight without knowing?
Or is she a man?
Prescott is a bit wrong on this isnt he !!
This topic is one that really hacks me off as there is so much twaddle pumped out , If you live on one the many night mare estates , with sette in garden , trainers hanging off the telephone wire and wild scabby dogs roaming , I am not surprised you suffer depression , there are plenty of estates with good housing stock that have degenerated due to social breakdown , not all there are still some estates which look after there area (CW knows of one where drug dealers who sell to kids are mysteriously bugled into vans and given an informal couumity action group meeting).
Where I live there are some pre WW2 semi detached houses , still in excellent structural condition (just had some light refurbishment ) yet down the road there are some terrace blocks built in 60s and 70s (labour housing) and the things are falling apart . Another labour scam is refurbishing expenses , to put it bluntly nearly 75K perhouse was spent , how do you get that money back in rent ? you could have rewired and plastered them for 20k tops so why did it cost so much ?
As for building new houses even more anoyingly on fields which we grow food in , how many empty council properties are there ?? well put some extra police on , give em an light refurb , and get some rental in .
Opps there I go again there arnt any jobs for people to pay rent for council houses , oh well double whammy for tax payer then ?? bad news for those living labour nightmare
Alles Klar:
“Prezza has confounded his critics with his new role at Xiamen University on the south east coast of the country where he will give occasional lectures on global warming.”
Unbelievable, sailor to saviour via champagne socialism, the amount the fat oaf farts alone must make this whole thing stink in more than one way!
Blimey. He can actually talk to people – at length – about global warming?
God alive, he must bore the pants off them.
Just think of his poor Interpreter!

Excellent, I laughed ’til I ……well. we won’t go in to that! You’re really getting in to the lingo, mind you don’t get stuck in it!
Nice to see a couple united by the joy of casual racism.
The real joy is seeing the annoyance it causes to the Politically correct.
He must be responsible for at least half of all UK methane emissions
When he farts it explains the Northern Lights
With his mangled words and illogical thought processes, it probably sounds like Chinese, or they simply accept him as a clown. Bloated, stupid, egocentric, expenses fiddling oaf who is an embarrasment to us all.
What a pity that Benny Hill is no longer with us. He could have acted as interpreter.
…Jethro admits to having been inspired by his ‘I no hear them crapping!’ character
It’s a money-laundering scheme from the Chinese. They’re buying his access to where we keep our nukes and his future voting patterns. Or they’re rewarding him for the information he has given them in the past. Or they’ll sneak him a few Mickey Finns and get some pictures of half a dozen naked, underage Chinese girls crawling all over him and they’ll own him.
What other rational explanation is there?
John Prescott? Lecturing in science? Beyond parody. Lectures on global warming? Purleeeeze.
The Chinese, chucking money away? Not fucking likely. Therefore it is a smokescreen for personal or party funding to get the stupid Labour round-eyes on-side.
jgm
AS you point out , the Chinese do NOT piss money away and they aint thick.
John Smallcock as a “Professor” hahahhahah
Wonder what they really want off the Eddie the Eagle of bullimia
Perhaps they want to shove him in the oven – looks like he’d create quite a good amount of crispy crackling. More than a duck, anyway.
Plesscott is plobably involved in esplionage and intellogation.
Plaps he in Loyar Altirrerry.
Or Loyar Maline?
I can’t believe that today is the day that John Prescott becomes a Professor at Xiamen University. What on earth was either Tony Blair or Peter Mandelson thinking when they arranged this. Come on, do you think the Chinese actually thought Prezza two jags/bogs is the right man for the job? I shudder to think that he’ll be asked to supervise Chinese students’ MSc dissertations and PhD theses on any subject aside from pi, its origins and how the rapid loss of pi affects bogonomics.
If that was aimed at me, I can tell you I am not in the least PC.
I just like to see racists getting it on.
barefootcontessa has lefty tendencies which makes it doubly hot.

Ah, another “2000 homes” to add to the 40,000 a year the Housing Associations build for the same market and a few more to add to the one million homes lying empty in the UK already (mainly government owned).
No politicians have yet seen through the garbage of the Barker Review of housing 2003-4 and clearly More Homes Need To Be Built!
There must be (I think I recall correctly) 225,000 new homes built every year, for ever, in order to accommodate some projected (ie guessed at) demographic changes and a net inward migration figure of some 150,000 per year, also for ever.
And in addition to this blatant over-supply we must also have:
a) Ever increasing house prices to sustain our (abolished?) booms
b) A zero impact on carbon emissions (tell that to concrete)
I don’t think any other civilised country would buy this but it passes for economics with socialists, North Koreans and maybe Mugabe.
The UK fell for 12 years of Brownsian economics, have a another! Thanks.
It gets my vote(s)!

Prescott has always been worse than useless
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1487077/Prescotts-homes-plan-backfires-in-his-own-backyard.html
I haven’t seen the details of this programme but it sounds to me like a re-announcement of something trailed by McDoom. If that is the case, the money will be taken from funds which were promised to a variety of councils (e.g: Cambs) and spent in Labour heartlands!Someone check this out.
I thought the homes due to be demolished were victorian-built cottages. Why on earth didn’t the government offer them to local couples, and defer their rent for 18 months while they did the place up?
The council would get refurbished places which wouldn’t eat into their budget, and the tenants would get 18 months rent-free, with a house they wanted to live in at the end.
Simples.
My local authority hasn’t built any housing for twenty years but they have recently knocked down 200 (just locally), the only people who have contributed to decent affordable housing stock are the private housing associations, so much for the Socialist dream.
This is my point exactly.
There is very little council housing available. I know of a family who have waited years to get a 3 bedroomed house. They work, have never defaulted on rent payments, and still, immigrants jump the queue and are offered housing before them. They are presently living in 2 rooms, with their 6 and 8 year old children.
If Councils were to help their tenants to make a nice home by deferring their rental, I’m sure the areas would benefit in the end.
Or maybe I’m completely on the wrong wavelength?
I see the cowboys but no indians in that video
Too sensible and did not fit into the Socialist Masterplan. Essentially, based on some policy wonk research and a bit of schoolboy economics, it was decreed by ZaNuLab post-1997 that one means of redistributing wealth (this time from the “rich” south to the “poor” north) was to even up the supply/demand situation re housing.
The Fat Boy declared that the south’s shortage of housing meant that wealth was biased towards the south whilst the north’s over-supply of housing meant that it was forever destined to be cradled in poverty; basically because so much of the UK’s “wealth” was tied up in housing (har, har).
And thus it came to pass that under the wonderous “Pathfinder” scheme great swathes of housing oop north would be pulled down and turned over to amenity land (somewhere to set fire to the Ford you’ve nicked) and the resultant squeeze on what was left would rebalance the wealth of the nation.
Unfortunately it all became unutterably fooked up.
Not least because the gummint was willing to pay over the odds for these houses to knock down so speculators could buy low when the areas were nominated (and thus blighted) then hold out and resell at a huge profit as and when Porky heaved over the horizon with a stash of McDoom’s millions.
Complete Fook Ups – Socialists, That’s What We Do.
I expect the “Mouth of The Humber” thinks they’re all going to be “eating” houses ..
He looks as though he’s had a couple of hundred already.
Gordon announced this –
“2,000 homes for thousands of families”! (Note – not the “hard working” type)
How many families per house?
How many votes in this – no more than 4,000?
At a cost of £127 million.
What sort of council house do you get for £63,500?
Ask the MP who bought his London flat for a song. He paid about £80,000 for a flat worth over £200,000.
They know how it’s done. Pity they don’t apply this new-found knowledge elsewhere.
A very, very bad one, that will have to be demolished in oh, lets say 25 / 30 years time.
When the jerry built shitholes meet their invevitable early demise, the everlasting mantra of “lessons have been learned” will be trotted out for the eternally gullible morons, who imagine these exercises in cynical posturing, somehow builds a better society.
In more ways than one, it appears we are on track for compulsory ‘swine flu’ vaccinations, when over half of all doctors do not want to risk the’jab’
Well – that speaks volumes to me. I probably won’t bother then.
Prior to the recent stoking up of the embers and the imminent return of perma-boom the government were able to buy unsold housing stock from developers at around £47K per unit. And they did.
Supply. Demand. It’s a funny old world.
Of course less than £50K would easily put one of the UK’s one million currently empty dwelling houses back into use but hey, where’s the “sex” in that for the socialists?
You wanna new house? We “give” you a house. Now you is indebted to me. Ok, if you need anything else you tell one of the boys you wanna talk to Luigi.
The Audit Commission said the same thing earlier today on this. But not the Mafia thing obviously.
Yes, but how many of these new houses will have croquet lawns? How many will have two-seater lavs? How many will have fitted walk-in freezers? How many will have a garage big enough for two luxury cars? Answer me that if you can Mr High-and-Mighty So-Called Green-Is-My-Middle-Name Babe-Magnet Prescott!

Prescott?? Fat b*stard, cerebrally challenged turd, I recall when he was mounting his secretary he was also regurgitating £4000.00 a year he was claiming on food MP’s allowances!!
When Prezza was a kid he loved maths.
He was always excited when any mention was made of PieRsquared.
His favourite musical instrument was the Dinner Bell.

Does that strike a Chord? Cos, if not – just a Sec – you’ll have to Sine for that – in Triplicate – and Inverse Ratio! No need trying to Square up to me, pal: your Cube Root’s too small.
I love John Prescott. He’s the honest side to Labour that Peter Mandleson and Tony Blair tried to ignore. He’s always completely wrong, of course, and a big, thick bully, but there’s an honesty about his unpleasantness.
The internet has been a wonderful vehicle for his opponents. It shows him up for the fool he really is.
Was he honest with his wife? Twice?
You need an adequate IQ to be devious.
Interesting Guido, my grandfather was in charge and responsible, as a civil servant, for building those houses, got Super Mac re-elected. prior to this he was Under Sec at Min of Health and set up the NHS with the Welsh Commie. I’m afraid Prezza is not in the same league as people like Bevan and Super Mac, he is without doubt one of the most ridiculous people to hold high office, never achieved anything, just embarrassing. Ask Prezz about his son, the property developer of Ex Council houses in Hull, sold off cheap in the 90′s, the man at the council allocating houses was Prezza’s Agent, so keep it in the family, and what a great capitalist Pressa really is, Cnut
I didn’t know about Prescott and his son. What absolute and utter bastards these people are.
The Labour party consider the states assets to be their own to peruse at will,they simply believe that they are the state,
As patsy hewitt said “we are the natural party for government”!
I’m still baffled, quite honestly. The Labour party what-was has been stolen from its core membership and has served a different master for donkey’s years. Yet not a peep from the union leaders or their members about this monstrous betrayal. You’d think they’d be at least a teeny bit miffed?
Too thick to realise.
no: too venal to admit it!
No not the ones at the ‘top’, the vested interests of the Labour Party and the Unions are now one and the same, the majority of the people this country are employed by the state, all those lovely guaranteed pensions to be paid for apparently by a rapidly dwindling manufacturing base, can’t recall anybody going on strike about the demise of Birmingham, the workshop of the world or the Wonder of Woolies or the contrasting huge wads of cash thrown at the Banking sector which is now you may have noticed largely Nationalised in all but name.

Labour core membership used to be the “workers” ie ordinary guy slaving away in manufacture or whatever. All gone. ZNL core vote is public sector employees, at all levels and including the quangocracy and BBC etc. Well served for years now and obviously ultra-sensitive to public spending cuts, hence why the McDooms cannot utter the word. Up the medication all round nurse.
As a public sector front-liner (and as I’ve said before) you won’t find many labour supporters at my level anymore.
Noted. The nearer the cream the fatter the cat I guess.
The nearer the front line the more likely they would be in a free market to be in demand, so not unlikely.

The brother of a onetime tenant of mine worked with Prescott on the liners.He was a figure of ridicule and friendless,according to him.
The father of a friend of mine had to guard him during the 2001 election and said he was a horrible man. Today, Iain Dale has this to say:
“One great thing about Armenia is that they cannot abide John Prescott. Apparently he came here as an election observer and achieved the unique distinction of annoying both the government and the opposition.”
And yet he still continues, completely unabashed. As I say, you’ve got to love him.
No. We haven’t.
Seconded, thirded, and fifthed
I take you point. Maybe “love” is the wrong word. I just like the fact that I can concentrate my hatred of so called “socialist” politicians so squarely on one person. (And that that one person offers so many reasons for one to hate him.)
He’s a sitting duck. Where’s the sport?
A friend of a friend of a friend of mine said “Prezza is a fat bastard”
The good old English word “OAF” springs to mind.
He deserves a custard pie in the face and a good old jag up the arse.
Barefootcontessa – ‘He deserves a custard pie in the face and a good old jag up the arse.’ is a waste of a straight six
Oaf preceded by fat and surly.
I know someone who’s worked for Prezza and Brown. I could tell you a few things about both but I’m sworn to silence, sadly.
Go on, break your monastic vows and give us the truth.
Post them anonymously, then. I doubt Guido would shop your IP number to the authorities.
I have worked it out for myself.
They are both fat bastards and both have fat bastard wives? Is that right?
Trust me I’m gagging to, but I wouldn’t want to drop ‘em in it. Plus I’d lose out on my (very) occasional blags to the Terrace where I claim a boozy tax rebate by necking as much as I can in one evening.
When I say ”em’, I mean my mate. I’d drop Prezza and Brown in it from a great height.
It’s a bit of a man love thing isn’t it? I have heard something similar.
Not that scene from “Deliverance” and I’m not talking banjoes here?
How did he pull the lovely Pauline?!
“The brother of a onetime tenant of mine worked with Prescott on the liners.He was a figure of ridicule and friendless,according to him.”
A perfect loser upon which to confer some modicum of power, then. It never fails. I always wondered how he achieved high office. I wonder no more.

Eeeuuuurrrrggghhh
Maybe we could float his bloated corpse and tow it out to sea. Build the housing on that. And a couple of wind farms.
His fat arse could serve as a wind farm while he is still alive.
Gin and Tonic waiter,and have some baked beans for yourself.
I reckon we could fit the new runway on him as well.
That’s cruel. Would you want to live on Prescott Island?
Oh – hang on – a safe billet for all Labour ex-MPs next year.
Dack – that’s brilliant!
His arse would be like Devil’s Dyke (which counts as countryside down my way. God I miss the north for getting away from it all).
I take it that’s Devil’s Dyke as in South Downs. Not yet had the pleasure of exploring the Downs, though I’ve heard much. Can recommend Dorset if you feel like a bit of travelling. And don’t worry – the North will still be here when you need it.
It wouldn’t be a great loss if they built a big housing estate on the Downs. You can’t walk for more than half an hour (often much, much less) without someone (wearing walking boots and with one of those ‘maps in plastic’ round their necks… why???) giving a cheery greeting. Really fucking annoying when you’re striding a grump off on account of the country being led by a bunch of arseholes.
Don’t be cruel Dack, they’re only rambling.
……but who would want to live on that?!
Well the Chinese are trying to build an aircraft carrier, perhaps they could use TwoShags..

Well, this is going to solve the housing crisis then!
Believe me, if I could influence anyone, I would!
The filthy Nazi retards in Nu Labour hate the British poor. They spit on those who work 75 hours a week for less than welfare benefits. They aid and abet illegal immigrants from Nigeria claiming £500,000 a month in benefit fraud.
Nu Labour are filthy evil trash. The filth should be stabbed and burned.
£500,000 a month?, I think you should have a word in Dominic’s shell-like, but I’ll let you off with the last line.

A very large and grand yacht ‘La Grand Bleau’ has just moored up in the Thames Estuary off Leigh On Sea,

That would be a MICRObiotic diet, believe me.
T*acey didn’t think so.
Must have been like a wardrobe falling on her with the key sticking out.
DELICACY
ai yah
Oh FFS “Beast” .. I know the Chinese have a reputation for eating anything which moves, swims or flies .. But that’s stretching it a bit, even for them ..
I bet its like one of those Sea-Slugs .. but without the charm .. PMSL …
Trust fat man to go to a country where the banquets for dignitaries last hours and have three zillion courses, and wots he studying in Xan Ping?, English as a second language?
prescott = morbidly obese !!
Don’t forget I’m a failed bulimic.
Wonder if he’ll get treatment on the NHS?
… The Liverpool Pathway, perhaps?
I doubt a million homes were built in a year. Tories party did force the govt to build more than promised.
Tories built 220,000 in 1953.
And my memory says that later they actually built something over 300,000
Prezza is visiting Pudsey Grangefield school in Armley and a host of others across the country on a lecture tour modelled on Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” Tour, by which Al launched his financially successful global warming career.
Prezza is trying to re-invent himself as the British Al Gore no doubt hoping to earn loadsamoney on the lecture circuit after he retires from politics next year.
He is retiring next year isn’t he?
Hopefully ‘being retired’. By the electorate.
Oh – hang on – he’s MP for Hull, isn’t he? They’d vote for a beached whale if it wore a red rosette. We might have to put up with his entertaining us for a bit longer.
Well – he’s still being paid a hefty salary. It really sticks in my craw, that.
They DID vote for a beached Whale wearing a red rosette ..
Yes but will they do it next time around?
And perhaps we shouldn’t be unkind to beached whales.
Prezza’s much more toxic than that.
Prezza should retire gracefully. Or maybe get a part time job as a part time pork-scratching taster at the local factory. He is a complete buffoon who should never have risen further than serving martinis to wrinkly old american widows on cruise liners.
I wouldn’t want him touching anything which will end up on the supermarket shelves.
These people are just desperately trying to carve out any career opportunity for themselves before the next election because they know that they are finished.
These are people of shallow beliefs. Any belief will do. Religion, climate change, writing about the courage of historic figures from past wars when you have none yourself. This labour crew are shameless in trying to turn a pretty penny from anything that might give them a living.
When the labour car crash finally hits the wall next next I suspect many of them are going to be on that dole queue that they have raved about. Enjoy!
Some of cabinet rank may pick up non-executive directorships as companies use them for their civil service contacts. Backbenchers, on the other hand, are virtually unemployable unless they have reasonably up-to-date skills unrelated to politics. Some will try journalism.
I believe there are still ex-MPs effectively unemployed after Labour’s reduction in majority in 2005. Can’t say I have much sympathy. If they are not capable of earning a living outside parliament, they probably shouldn’t have been selected to represent us in the first place.
But you can guarantee they had a very nice payoff, thankee kindly, plus a pension pot most of us can only dream about, so let’s not feel too sorry for them. Even without a job, they are still on a good whack.
Tracey Temples ex boyfriend is the worlds greatest hypocrite – bar none. Like all evil liebore thieves, he deserves a trip here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/cmann/the-torture-game-2
Sorry to keep harping on about ‘climate change’ but now I see that Prezza’s tour is being promoted as ” the Rapporteur on climate change, former UK Deputy Prime Minister and Kyoto Protocol Negotiator – John Prescott” +++laugh+++
What happened to his two jags that burned up how many gallons to the mile?
The Independent has added to the comedy with the headline trying to boost prezza’s ‘charisma’! – “Call Me Al”
++Laughter+++
Sorry I think it’s time for a glass of wine – Can Labour get any more farcical?
Protocol Negotiator? He wouldn’t know protocol if it hit him in the face. He would know it if he hit someone else in the face, though.
I don’t want to spoil the party, but prescott used to be quite a good looking guy,……. when he was a young man! A few million pies ago.
Ah… the ravages of time…
http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/04_04/prezzerDM2004_468x439.jpg
(Actually he didn’t do much for me even then…).
In case you don’t recognise him from that photo you may here in his more familiar guise:
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/08/31/article-0-00FC527300000578-23_468x501.jpg
One has deep sympathy for the family of the pie. What a terrible way to go….
267, god I’m right aren’t I?
According to Wiki the pie monster was born in 1938 so if that picture really was from 1955 he was a barely legal 17 at the time.
He looks nothing like the Les Dawson tribute act in the other picture though.
Why the excitement? Another over promoted self seeking dickhead Talks up a non-event. Kind of summarises the last 12 years. So bad the former PM is a virtual ex-pat.
Interesting isn’t it that tony has turned to religion as his next money making career venture and prezza has turned to climate change for the same reasons.
Neither of them I suspect have any deep belief in anything except their own personal comfort and bank balance.
I wonder what gordon is going to choose.?
History. It’s all he knows.
Yes – but he’s already had two ‘history’ books end up in ‘bargain basement’ almost straight away after publication – hence failed to sell.
Don’t think he can make a living there.
Perhaps if he wrote a book entitled ‘ What it’s like to have been the worst PM ever” that might engender some interest.
Sadly, he doesn’t have to make a living. If he can’t get by on the King’s ransome of a pension we’ll be paying him, he’s not trying.
I can just see him now sitting, depressed in a corner of their Kirkcaldy living room, as Sarah eeks out their existence on that paltry pension, the wind rattling round the windows and snow building up at the back door.
Poor Sarah!
She could quietly divorce him on the grounds of having done enough for the sake of the Labour party.
If he had any decency left in him he would drop dead tomorrow in shame at the enormous bolloxxx up he has made of the economy and the millions yet unborn who will be paying for his fucxxxx stupidity.
Ruskin man is Prescott. Perhaps he was expecting a biscuit?
Give him the barrell. He’ll feel much more at home.
Perhaps he’ll give birth, and become a renaisance man?
Prezza called this shot of gordon – ‘the worst smile in the world’
What a very comforting load of mud these people have been this last 12 years.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/sep/06/portrait-pm-end-of-polaroid
Good God. It’s worse than my passport photo.
238 – yes: needs the caption ‘We’re coming to get you!’, perhaps.
Somebody takes a Polaroid shot of Gordoom and Polaroid promptly pack up business. Is there no end to this man’s Jonah-like procivities?
Using a larger diameter mining tool – a thumb in preference to a finger say and setting the extremities with polycrystalline diamond in order to access those hard to reach cavities…..look at the nuggets it is possible to extract!
Perhaps some pie fell on his sheet of figures and he couldn’t read them properly.
Or he’s an arse – a really big one.
What about leaving the money in the private sector and let home be built under private initiative?
Think of this as the last days of this apalling government and an end to hair brained schemes such as this, when the lights do finally go out they will be consigned to history somewhere even the intrepid Guido will not wish to revisit!
Last one to leave switch the light out please!
Well at least we’ll look like that eco-friendly communist paradise called North Korea.

O/T, but here’s a (scary) thought – at his conference speech or the start of the 2010 General Election campaign will Brown make a promise to resign as PM before the following election (like Blair did)? This might soften the anti-Labour ‘anyone but Brown’ vote, impair any leadership challenge, allow him to seem a ‘big man’ like Blair and claim that he is maintaining leadership stability for the financial markets.
Of course, he would have no intention of actually stepping down if re-elected…
Your history might be a bit fucked-up there pal. I’m pretty certain that Labours 2005 manifesto stated that Blair would serve a full term. And give us a referendum on the EU constitution.
I needed some light relief from all this gordon and prezza gloom and doom and found it in a very recent press release.
No 10 says that in support of gobal warming measures mandy is going to take to his bicycle. +++laugh+++
gordon is going to turn the thermostats down on the central heating in no.10.
Mandy on a bike?!!!!
Gordon may well turn the thermostats down, but I bet the staff turn them up again when he’s not looking.
Either that, or foreign dignitaries, pre-warned by their ambassadors, arrive for summit meetings swaddled in sweaters, gloves, thick socks and woolly hats.
Any photos of mandy on his bike , in his stretchy sports gear, yet?
Is there such a thing as a chauffeur-driven bike?
Mandy in glorious state on the back seat of a tandem as some poor unfortunate pedals for both of them….
Modded twice. Give up…
I think MAndy was on about “Food Miles” when I heard him say something about going Gardening…
Sir Mr Presscott is a hoon .
Thankyou
He sure is.
I wonder what TaT thinks about this urban idiot.
Tat would duck under the Prezza left hook,bury his right fist in the corpulant gut,knee him in the groin and nut him for good measure.
Tat would run away. He’s pathetic attempts to bully people via this blog are sad.
Must be a deviant, I think they’re funny!
Lefties don’t need no facts, what they have is ideaological certainty.
1) Left is good
2) Thatcher killed everyone
3) Four legs good, two legs bad
4) Lefties build more council homes
You don’t need no facts when you got faith
O/T. Having raed about the attemps to smear Gen Dannatt, I went to see the website of Foulkes. What a self-congratulatory prick. He is a despicable tool. I hate this country for making him someone with a voice. What the fuck are we doing??????
Standing by to vote them out, that’s what.
Strange how few people admit to voting them in, these days.
As to why Foulkes was made a Lord………words fail me.
Eng. I believe it was done with an educational purpose in mind. To illustrate to the little folks the meaning of the phrase ‘Drunk as a Foulkes’.
What we are doing Mr Gurkha,is living through the final absurd days of a decadent,corrupt,incompetent system that rewards self serving,greedy,gameplaying conspiritors,who care nothing for the long term prospects of this land and the residents within,but only of their own accumulation of wealth and privilage.
Just a guess,you understand
Thanks chaps,
Now that I got that off my chest – I feel a little better.
Look we don’t want to build more houses all identical, in bulk, in same areas. We need more houses yes.
They need to be spread throughout the land.
Building mre houses is like building more roads. Remember the argument? More roads = more cars = vicious cycle.
We need less people being paid to breed when the “parents” are unable to support themselves. We need controlled immigration. Otherwise we keep housing at taxpayers expense incomers whose contribution is zero.
There are already a million homes available.
We need a fresh rethink on housebuilding. No more flats. No more debt slave boxes. No more identical homes throughout the land.
Then you want to tax Land Values rather than Incomes, Employment, working and profits.
Ground-rents, so far as they exceed the ordinary rent of land, are altogether owing to the good government of the sovereign, which, by protecting the industry either of the whole people, or of the inhabitants of some particular place, enables them to pay so much more than its real value for the ground which they build their houses upon… Nothing can be more reasonable than that a fund, which owes its existence to the good government of the state should be taxed peculiarly, or should contribute something more than the greater part of other funds, towards the support of that government. Adam Smith
Tax land values? I suppose that’s the Queen,the CofE and the Duke of Westminster fucked then?
and…
They can set a negative value.
Compulsory sterilisation of socio-economic groups 4 & 5 – K Joseph.
We also need more equipment, especially helicopters for our lads in Afghanistan.
Lord Foulkes says our troops have enough of everything. Don’t believe him – He’s a self serving, toadying to mandy person.
‘Night, God Bless,
Keep Our Lads and Lasses in Afghanistan safe from these evil lying labour people.
Do you know any toadying self-serving people on the tory benches at all?
I’m sure there are some but they’re nowhere near as skilled at it as this labour crew.
‘Corse we need more houses…
Was on the Terminal 5 car park shuttle bus yesterday, sitting behind two middle aged Sikhs. Speaking in a bizzare mix of English and Punjabi, one said to the other, smiling widely…
‘The bride came in [to the UK] on a student visa. The groom is at Nottingham and the bride at Derby ‘Uni’.
So they’ll meet ‘by accident’ and marry while still students and the family has organised a fine stitch-up.
Room for one more? (Plus kids, obviously)
At least Sikhs don’t go in for so called honour killings, unlike some 3rd world dikheds our “goverment” now encourages to come here.
What we need are some bloody great funeral pyres to kick-start global warming in the UK.
I’m all for educated Indians – I travel widely and they seem to be me to be the least ‘foreign’ people of all.
It’s just that they’re so well educated, they’ll make mincemeat of our home-grown talent.
However, anybody who insists on living in their own world – hosted by us, of course – can eff off.
Mr fawkes , I got sent this thought would remind us all of what we would miss if the Torys won the next election .
Maybe his twitter message should have said:
“Great News: banking system utterly destroyed, all private pensions plundered and now worthless, the worst recession in history, more debt than the last 300 years put together, a parliament/leader which is an international laughing stock, democracy and freedom destroyed, the military completely pissed on, and an illegal war fought purely for personal religious reasons. you won’t get this from a tory gvt.”
prescott; you’re a fucking self-serving bastard who’s happy to fuckup the whole country just so that you can blindly follow an ideology which makes no logical sense and which can never work. you and all your labour mates should be strung up, you fucking bastard wanker.
twitter won’t allow that message; it’s too long. you’d need something like:
“we fucked up absolutely everything. sorry bout that. i’ve got a nice house now though.”
When England got rid of useless Sven’s incompetent Scottish deputy, Steve McLaren, they brought in someone completely different and have done brilliantly ever since.
Is there a message there from England for another incompetent Scottish deputy, one James Gordon Brown ??
I think so, don’t you ??
The sweaties should consider getting a non Scotchland manager seeing as they managed to avoid qualification for the World Cup…..again.
Prescott needs rolling in egg and breadcrumbs
I’ve been rolling in dough ( from the Taxpayers ) for years now !
Prescott’s groin, – is that art?
Not art, more like culture. My groin was a frequent visitor to Temple’s…
surely a good battering would suffice
We are all twats , We belive in the system . Its broken .
No more do we have say , Nor a voice .
We will walk alone
You can paint a bluejay red but it remains a bluejay
30 homes per council, in 2 years time?
And how many people have now been made redundant because labour have destroyed the economy? I’ll wager it’s a fair few more than 30 families per council who are now suffering bankruptcy/repossession because of these negligent fuckers.
Look after the economy and there won’t be any need for extra social housing because people will have their own jobs and their own money in their pockets.
It’s really simple, labour; just let us keep more of our own money, get the fuck out of our lives, and everything’ll work out fine.
As rumours circulate that the PM may not contest his seat .
CW got excited about a new green inaitive , yes a solar road surface is being touted as a solution to save the planet , Cw read the blurb , yes there is a lot of road , thought about 45 tonne articulated lorries which chew tarmac , but then thought about being as most cars are used in the rush and sit in long traffic jams covering up the road surface , so no sunlight hits hit .
DOH ! must be from the treasury
What next solar powered Debts !
Solar powered windmills
Wind powered solar cells
£127 million? How many regional planning and development quangos will top slice this budget? My guess would be that Liebore will next announce, that this sum will be found by reducing the budgets of said bodies, who will subsequently claw it all back. Net result, zero new council houses built.
Nigel Farage at the Lisbon Debate in Dublin attacks Dick Roche:
Nigel Farage is very well versed; always enjoyable to listen to. Shame about the image generated by Martha Andernuvverreason leaving. Especially over a trivial matter of a salary-so much damage and cost, pathetic.
Right, I know this has got nowt to do with ‘owt…but it blows my head off.
I ordered a photocase from New York on Monday morning – via a dongle – while sitting in the Audi HQ in Germany.
This evening I checked its progress on the UPS website, which said
STANSTED, GB 09/09/2009 9:47 P.M. EXPORT SCAN

How fucking mind blowing is that? The website tells me where it has been and the damn thing was scanned to leave Stansted at 9.47pm last night.
Not everything is the world is shagged, clearly.
As O’Fawkes says…capitalism works.
OK I’m a cynic…
This is just UPS bullshit to get their ISO9000 or whatever equivalent the US Homeland Security requires.
Even if true, its shows staggering in-efficiency – why scan the same thing N-times?.
Of course, the strength of the chain is its weakest link, and the Muslim baggage handlers at Stanstead.
Just my 2 cents, I may be wrong.
Good point. I’ll check the parcel for anti-infidel devices.
And I assume it gets scanned when it sent out and every time it changes planes or vans – but I wonder why it went from the NY area to Philly and back to Newark?
I presumed by scan it meant going through the laser device like the checkout at Tesco’s so they no where it is, not an x ray machine to examine it.
If only they could scan and track taxpayers and sheep like that, eh?
F*ck me, the package turned up at 13.20.
However, Gordon’s gangsters wanted £35 on top of the £175 purchase price for VAT and Import duties.
Twat
Why on earth can’t Americans learn to write dates in a logical order ? It’s so confusing. Hours, minutes, seconds is a logical order; month, day, year is not.
Actually their system in more logical.
Think about it….
Hour, minute, seconds etc
Year, month, date, day etc
take a look at our broadsheets…. Day, month, date. Just to add confusion!
Nigel Farage attacks Dick Roche over smears in the Irish Independent newspaper whilst speaking at the Lisbon debate in Dublin:
What a refreshing change to listen to a politicain speak in a language any English speaking person can follow (albeit 90% are too stupid to understand).
The more I see and hear of this chap the more I like him.
He represents the equivalent of 10 shadow opposition ministers in calibre, presence and stature.
There nowt wrong wi gobbledygook lad. Got me from waitin on ships to croquet wi t’Toffs, tha knows.

New images from the Hubble space telescope are great. Takes your mind off the shower of shits running the country and the probable shower of shits that will take over.
But Guido, don’t you, as a follower of Friedman or whatever, consider Macmillan was wrong to build all those houses.
in my local butchers the 1kg pork pie is known as a Prescott
you would find a Prescott in a fishmongers? A Prescott is a anchovy no?
A Prescott in butcher is a wiener
A Prescott in a butcher’s would need more restraints than Dr Lecter.
Right – let’s get something straight. You don’t buy pork pies in nasty foreign units.
It’s a 2lb pork pie – OK?
Hostage negotiators expressed shock and anger at Gordon Brown’s decision to approve a commando raid to free a kidnapped British journalist, saying that they were within days of securing his release through peaceful means. – thetimes.co.uk
is there no limit on this man’s ability to fuck things up?
You can see it now. The Cobra meetings. The visions in his head of the grateful hostage on the steps of Downing Street with the ‘Courageous’ Prime Minister that ‘OK’ed the operation.
Yeah!! That’s what I’m talking about! Yeah!! That’s why I wanted the job. Hero of the people. Another photo opportunity for my autobiography in the bag.
And now it’s all gone a bit sour. The journalist is far more likely to be pictured with the widow of the soldier who died rescuing him. The narrative will all be about the valour of the forces and not about Gordon Brown playing soldiers, moving armies around a map.
Ho hum. Oh well, another day another opportunity for reality to fuck up the fantastically improbable scenarios he creates in his fucked-up head.
It’s quite clear isn’t it that he wanted to be seen being decisive and having the courage to order a gung ho raid so he over-rode negotiaters who thought they were close to getting the men out. There wasn’t going to be any glory in a negotiated settlement was there?
No doubt he thought a successful raid would be positive publicity to improve the public’s perception of the afghan war and more importantly thought it would cast him in a macho light and improve his poll ratings.
Instead of which he cost two good men their lives and he has again ended up mired in controversy.
Didn’t work for Carter either. Brown just does not learn from history. Pillock.
What about that poor fucker who got captured by the Meghrebi wing of AQ a few months ago? They could have rescued him, they had him and his captors pin-pointed, but nooo… ‘someone’ in the government called off any attempts at a rescue attempt, much to the Army’s fury. But then the captured bloke was only going to visit a music festival in Mali, it weren’t like he was faa-mous, was it?
So Millibrown let him die. Can’t go scaring the Libyans, can we?
What Happened To The 2,000,000 Homes Gob Shite Prescott Promised A few Years Ago ? Maybe They Were Sold Off Cheap To MP’s And Their Spawn To Fill Their Own Pockets !
ah yes that was a typo. It was supposed to read prescott is to build 2 000,000 homes information packs.
Does anybody read those things? One was prepared at some expense during a recent family house sale, but the buyer wasn’t remotely interested. Apart from giving someone some work to do, all it did was waste some paper.
Nope; nobody reads them; they’re just a sick joke created by labour to generate extra pointless jobs at a cost to ordinary people.
Example of how totally flawed the logic for HIPs is:
If you were spending 10 years worth of your wages to buy a classic car which had no warranty on it after you buy it, would you rely solely on the seller saying “don’t worry mate, it’s all pukka” and buy it without even looking at it, or would you actually look at the car yourself before you part with 10 years’ wages, and get an independant expert to also look at it?
HIPs are the worst idea I could imagine; it costs the seller money, the buyer never uses them, and it just slows down the whole process.
Only a labour government could come up with such an illogical and mind-numbingly stupid idea.
Prescott = fat, thick headed, lieing twat, simples
This was the old McDoom “pledge” from the Daily Mash: Gordontowns.
Next week they are announcing a light makeover of someone’s flat apparently.
The real scandal is that new houses are being suggested, rather than refurbishing old ones. Refurbishing is a fraction of the cost (and a fraction of the CO2, if you care about that) of new build.
Good blog about all the empty houses in the land:
http://unlockingthepotential.blogspot.com/
All these comments: most of them bloody ridiculous. The answer to Prescott’s drivel is to ignore it completely. Build a few thousand prefabs and chuck all the out of works, etc. into them. And put them up on the Essex marshes.
