Duncan Redux
Tuesday’s media hit for Cameron was successful in obliterating from the front pages the speech given by Darling intended to revise the Labour Party’s Balls/Brown narrative on “Cuts v Spending”. It was by all accounts a very close run thing.
Having got wind of the expected Darling announcement there was a bit of flap at CCHQ. Late on Monday afternoon CCHQ lined up party activists to be in the audience for a hastily arranged 11.00 the next day speech by Cameron focusing on the deliberately headline grabbing issue of cutting spending on politics. That speech was originally not due to be given until a later date. Alan Duncan however was an embarrassment that became pressing in the context of the brought forward speech, so he had to go, fast. The final decision to give him the bullet was made there and then.
Result: Cameron’s mere £120 million of promised cuts led the Ten O’Clock news and grabbed the front pages away from Darling’s in some ways far more fiscally significant change in direction of the spending supertanker. Darling’s announcement was no match televisually for Sam Cam breakfasting with Nick Robinson. Cameron dominated the headlines and Darling’s major change of position was relegated to the inside pages and became the second story on BBC news.
Game, set and match to the Tory spin machine…
Yawn. No disrespect Mr Fawkes; It ain’t you.
Rumours on PoliticalBetting that the Brown mentalist story might be a hoax designed to fake out MSM.
Could you please investigate?
Cheers…
Brown is a sociopath. There’s no cure just lengthy incarceration to protect the rest of us.
Watched this unfold on BBC news at ten and I think the classic was when after the puff piece on Camerons Conservatives had finished we were passed almost disdainfully over to the deputy political editor to report on Alistair’s doings. Couldn’t have been better advertising for CCHQ.
it was nice if you like spin re-runs of a spin re-run
robotic kitchen informality is just so old hat now
why anyone would boast about this obvious proof of Cameron’s complete reliance on the NuLiebore Tony Blair book of spin is more puzzling
if the hollow empty lightweight vacuum of Public Relations Politics is what you crave the call me Dave is unquestionably the best thing since his mentor Tony
Who the fuck gets their news from the BBC? News at 10 – well, not really. Oh and CRB checking of parents who err… travel with their kids…fucking bastard socialists
Theres No where To Put him Lie-Bore Shut Them All Down ! Unless They Let Him Roam The Streets Of “KillKiddie”As Part Of Lie-Bore’s Care In The Community Prog ?
Or are you working for them?
Not as b-or-i-n-g as you.
This comment is no longer relevant, since the troll it answered has been zapped.
Nice one, Guido.
OH DEAR.
Gordon’s EX bestest mate in the whole world Mr OBAMARAMA has just phoned Gordon and told him that he is well pissed off with Gordon about releasing the Lockerbie bomber.
So Gordon’s Only and latest bestest friend in the whole wide world is now one MAD DOG Colonel Gaddafi..and by implication so is the UK’s.
What the Fuck is Gordon up to siding with terrorists and falling out with the good guys, is he MAD, is he also a Mad Dog dictator like his bestest friend?
Ah, yes! The one-man Obarmagammerau passion player.
But big dave’s doing away with spin – HE PROMISED!
Promises are meaningless in top politics
Spin is not the same thing as an excellent strategy to fuck your foe.
Yep, as it was Labour on the receiving end, I’m with you.
It weren’t spin. It were a good bit of bowling.
“I defy anyone to watch that clip without a nagging worry that the Queen’s first minister is as mad as a box of snakes.”
Its official, Dan Han says so.

Bad link I think. Oh, that rhymes
you were a poet but you did not know it
last !
Yes behind UKIP and conservatives then lib dems, greens and labour in that order
is that picture in the kitchen a result of the new cut in food allowance
whatever.
Exactly. What’s £120 Million quid. How much interest do we pay everyday? And any cuts mean some business ain’t going to do so well. I don’t want to see Dave in his bloody kitchen I want to see him at Dover immigration or interviewing companies or traders who are pissed off with euro regulations, etc. FFS. Like I said Mr Fawkes; it ain’t you it’s just tedious of them the ‘top’ politicians.
The sum is not important at the moment. What the Tories are doing now is embarrassing nulab by proposing cost cuts that are impossible to argue against. This means nulab must adopt them or explain why MPs should continue to be allowed to trough.
The Tories will not show their policies and cost proposals until McMental calls the election and shows the nulan manifesto.
That’s when you can judge the Tories and vote accordingly.
There are plenty of policies that the Tories could announce that Liebore could not copy or would cause them immense trouble.
For example, the Tories could state that they will hold a referendum on Lisbon, if elected, even if Lisbon had already been ratified.
In British law “no parliament may bind its successor”. So a Cameron government could quite legitimately repeal the UK acceptance. What is more, by announcing this it would make it difficult for Lisbon to be ratified at all, and Liebore’s position untenable at the same time.
That the Tories will not do this shows that they are only marginally different from ZaNuLiebore, and not interested in re-asserting UK sovereignty or even hitting Liebore where it hurts.
@288 (sorry, no reply button thre levels down?!)
The snag is if the Tories offer a referendum on the Lisbon treaty, wouldn’t that irk the Europhiliac Tory “big beasts” (AKA dinosaurs) like Ken Clarke and risk sparking a new EU controversy within the party? Labour would pounce on that, as evidence of old divisions resurfacing, not that it would probably benefit them much.
@15 The sum is unimportant what it does however is restore some moral authority to Parliament.
If newly elected blood untouched by expensesgate votes this through as their first act it restore credibility and allows them to cut cut cut all round them
Horay!
317 Owlhoot – yes, it would upset the europhiles but it would easily be contained.
The majority of the electorate feel betrayed by Liebore and the Lib Dims snatching away the promised referendum. If the electorate can be trusted with a referendum on the Constitution, they can be trusted on Lisbon (it is in any case the same thing).
Those europhiles opposed to a referendum are exposed as anti-democratic because they were all elected on a platform of a referendum but did not choose to step down.
A referendum on the EU? Waste of time… both Tories and Labour know what the result would be — a No.
If the Irish vote Yes as feared, a more interesting and constructive proposition would be for a new Tory government to tell the EU commission, “The people of the UK were not allowed a referendum on Lisbon, therefore we do not consider ourselves or UK law bound by some of the terms of the treaty, therefore we will pass an Act of Repeal, which will cover any treaties signed by any government which has broken an election promise to hold a referendum in it’s manifesto. Parliamentary democracy and English Common Law is supreme and overrides any agreements or treaties made without the consent of the electorate…” or something like that.
If they chuck us out of the EU, we say ok, your choice. Sorted.
The Conservatives are just a much slicker operation in general. I don’t think their policies are up to much, but they handle the media very well. Why can’t Labour employ someone like Alastair Campbell to get them in order? He was a very unpleasant man, but very good at his job.
Remember the rumour about John Major tucking his shirt into his underpants? Genius!
Edwina Curry’s inside scoop was bigger
Oi! I paid Max Clifford good money to come up with that one!
The Tories only look slicker relatively because nulab are so shite.
What the Tories must do is show their policies and cost proposals at the last possible moment, so nulab cannot nick them.
All nulab knows is banning things and raising taxes.
All nulab knows is banning things and raising taxes….. and spending other peoples money before it has been earnt. And troughing. And expenses fraud. And Enronomics.
hey, they don’t call him dodgy dave for nuffink.
dodgy fucker.
but what do we expect from the skanky millionaire housing benefit cheat david cameron
I thought eton types were supposed to have some class.
dave’s dodier than del boy FFS.
Seconded TaT
Nah nah mate, I was fully entitled to those housing benefit payments, it’s in the rules.
Moron
Treat the next PM with a bit of respect, you onerous butt fuck.
fuck off wanker.
’twill be a hung parliament you simpleton and dave’the useless’ will be the master of a coalition cabinet.
a eunuch PM.
I will show no respect to a fucking useless c’unt benefit cheat like dave cameron.
now fuck off to conservativefoam you retard.
thankyou.
You tell him TaT. Do you also have a message for Barak Omaha after his phone call with Gordon today?
Of course, Ivor, No.10 drowning street have tried to infer that it was gordon who raised the issue of the prisoner release, during his conversation with omaha, saying that he understood fully the americans disappointment with the scottish ministers decision over which he had no control.
+++laugh+++
Hi tat – I hope we don’t get a hung parliament but if we do I’d like to see the balance of power held by the lib-dems and the “honest politics” alliance being put together by Martin Bell and Terry Waite.
I really hope the labour vote is going to collapse in the favour of the lib-dems, leaving labour in third place. And pigs might fly of course!
Thanks Nell. ++laugh++ indeed. I’m sure barrack has been set straight on that. It’s good fortune that the Presidential Family didn’t choose a Scottie Dog ain’t it?
I just hope you’ve got the decency to shoot yourself or fuck off to Peru when Dave gets in with a landslide victory.
You certainly should never have the nerve to wave your manky cock around on here anymore, so why don’t you do us all a favour and go and blow whats left of your crackedhead brain out now, you deluded сunt.
I haven’t even started on dave cameron yet you cripple.
Ooh I’m scared.
Oi. Twunkbucket. If I had any doubt about the sort of eunuch butt wipers Call me Dave had in his entourage you have confirmed my worst nightmare. And don’t use that sort of language in front of TaT, Nell nor me, ivor I mean neiver.
if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.
you must be scared because you are a benefit cheat and expense fraudster millionaire and you are afraid that you will be arrested for your crime of stealing from the public purse.
well, you shouldn’t have stolen taxpayers money then dave, should you.
it is your lack of morals that led you to do it you useless fucking c’unt.
you are a thief david cameron.

you are creepy silent bob.
Didn’t think anyone gave a sh*t about what old Darling had to say anyway although the fact that the BBC weren’t peddling it is quite surprising….
I’m still waiting his CV he promissed me.
We really should be interested in what an ex(?) Trotskyite who is charge of one of the largest capitalist economies in the world has to say.
I don’t think it does any of us good to listen to the continued mess they’re making of this country.
I’m hiding under the stairs and waiting for it to be over….
“It’s not the end, but it’s the beginning of the end (of Britain)”.
It was one of the world’s largest economies 13 years ago. Now, it’s an object lesson in what a socialist can do to to turn a first world economy into a banana state in half a generation.
Even the BBC has twigged that their ZaNu favourites are off to la-la land in a few months. Neither Gordoom nor Badger can do anything sensible in so short a time: that’s why the ratings agencies are holding off judgment until after the election.
Surely you’re NOT suggesting that the Conservative Spin Machine is in full election mode ? And THAT conversation between Dave and Hague regarding the Afghan Elections in the “BBC Green Room” was purely “accidental” too
Accidentally shot using two camera angles and with the dialogue segued. That’s the sort of accident I like. Planned ones.
Heard this morning on Today that a UN observer noted only 15 people voted in one polling station in Lashkar Gah although 1,000 votes were counted, so that’s 1.5 votes for each soldier’s life lost.
Hmmm.
A year or so ago when the FTSE was down around 4,000 I warned you all not to touch shares with a bargepole and forecast that the FTSE would have crashed to 2,000 by this Autumn.
With the FTSE now standing at 5,000 it is clear that I have been proved right as this huge bull trap is just about to crash and take the FTSE down by more than a half before the end of this month.
Game set and match to madasafish and my charts.
Are you still here, you puddled old fuckwit?
Equities have risen by more than 20% since you advised dumping them, you silly sod. You know what you can do with your charts!
But just think of how poor stock market returns have been since the arrival of Brown and Blair. The FTSE is hovering aroung the same level today as it was in May 1997.
genghiz, that’s true. Labour is bad for equities but there’s no getting round the fact that shares have risen considerable since madasafish was telling us all to dump them. His predictions are just a load of baloney.
Here’s my tip: UK shares will extend their bull run, particularly as we get cloeser to a Tory government. Fill yer boots before you miss the boat.
The next FTSE 10 year high will occur two years after the next general election, assuming the Tories win with a workable majority.
You read it here first.
Quantitative easing is leading to a resurgence in stocks and some property prices, as punters reckon their cash is better invested rather than sitting in a zombie bank.
However, if interest rates turn up, that will be bad news for the markets as the cost of capital makes some activities unprofitable.
The markets will be turbulent until a clear pathway to reducing government debt emerges. If the IMF is called in we may be forced into the euro, which will lead to a long period of cost cutting all round, as our option to devalue will have gone.
China and India are the best long term bets.
Sun Tzu- That is obvious when you take into consideration very high inflation
And my advice remains the same as it was in July 2008 – sell your shares and invest in canned beans and a wheelbarrow.
Sustained and sustainable profits, together with a widespread feel good factor, drive markets upward. Anybody who sees these essential requirements coming any time soon belongs in a padded cell along with Bonnie Prince Gordon.
Well played Madasafish!
Pretty obvious really!
Not a case if if, but when!!
You other guys sound like GW Bush, declaring victory on that aircraft carrier!
As I said at the time, ‘that was just round 1 of a 15 round heavweight contest’
I repeat myself !
Blue Labour beat Red Labour to the headlines.
Scoop indeed.
Vote UKIP – the real Conservative Party.
Yes.
I’d like to vote UKIP but I can’t find my glasses. Anyway it’s time for my milky drink and chocolate Digestive. Aren’t Digestives dear these days? I blame all those Common Market regulations, that and the immigrants.
Sir William Waad. Is it tunnel vision or short-sightedness?
A yes, the great political pigmy and euro expense trouserer Nigel Farage…hohum!
There’s nothing to choose between them. All of them.
It’s my view that UKIP could get the job done and we can then vote in a domestic democratic election thereafter afterwards. Politics is meaningless otherwise because we will truly live in a totalitarian facist dictatorship under EU regulations.
You’ve convinced me.
“There’s nothing to choose between them. All of them.”
The B. eN. P = nuLabour = the Greens?
I’d like to vote UKIP…now. where are my glasses? Here they are, under the Daily Mail! I’ll just have a nice cup of tea and a Diggie before I go and vote. Now, will I need a cardy on under my mac?
What the hell is a diggie? Hope you’re not going to have it on under your gaberdine, as well as your cardy.
Surely you’re not advising him to have it off under his gabardine?
81 Sir William Waad- I don’t know, what do they do in europe in these situations?
Presumably if you can’t find your glasses you will end up voting Tory? That’s because you won’t be able to see beyond the end of your nose.
Fucking awesome.
We’re back to arguing about who is better at spinning non-policies.
We’re back to the start of New Labour, it’s taken 12 years for the Tories to emulate the NuLabour tactics, whether we should be celebrating this is another matter.
Cameron is one of the least people we could expect to ever want to rock the boat, so back to spin we go.
Well said! if, as Guido claims, its “game, set and match to the Tory spin machine” then we are right back where we started from in 1998. I thought this time it was going to be different, but the Cameroons are beginning to look more and more like the original Blairites.
You gotta admire his kitchen though.
it’s a nice kitchen.
As far as I could tell from Europe, Bliar won in 97 by promising to be more honest than the Tories!
Dive will win by promising to be more honest than congenital LieBore!
Hair of Bliar indeed!
I think it’s a bit cluttered.
The fact that we are now at the point where some triumphally announce a successful spin snub on a daily basis we are utterly missing the point that spin and PR management are exactly the things that obfuscate politics and policy to the point that there are vast campaigns launched to announce minor and irrelevant details as “bold new initiatives”.
If we’re congratulating Tory PR for managing to divert attention to a miniscule (in relative terms) policy decision are we not suggesting that we respect politicians who are able to succesfully manipulate a fickle and feckless media into covering the wrong things whilst ignoring the bigger issues.
DC has simply adopted the same modes of PR/editorial management that alistair campbell did so successfully to new labour, this is second-hand; in Blair’s case this was at least something we were sinking into unawares, a polical career where every day is a school visit, a new policy, a new fucking slogan, a mantra for morons to mumble.
Has Cameron ever done anything in his life that indicates he is a visionary? Is he not the epitomic insider, someone who demonstrates calculated positioning (or lack therof) of any issue of significance, is he not the ultimate example of a weak leader whose only calculation is to think ahead so as not to announce or promise anything he has no intention of even trying to deliver?
We really shouldn’t celebrate this state of affairs, we have two choices of the next government and both represent known quantities to us, both represent the continuation of everything we dislike about politics, and both have an odious core of political shitbeaks whom they rely on to encourage sensation when there is no substance behind it.
Tony Blair 2.0 – and you’re on board baying for him… Fuckwits.
I only bay for his blood. The clot. And more the clot those taken in by him.
Well said good sir.
I’m a woman. As I’m assuming you are, unless they’re moobs.
Let’s not get all romantic but no I am a man, for some reason the phrase has stuck in my mind : )
‘Fuck My Tits’ is not a phrase that smacks of romance. Whoever said ‘Fuck My Country’ to Gordon deserves a good kicking though :)
Well he’s the continuation of a dynastic Labour party inner-circle who is enjoying his obligatory term whilst proving himself incapable of leading.
He still (despite all the evidence to the contrary) believes that he is going to turn things around.
I think he does genuinely believe he is doing the right thing, I think most dictators also believe they are acting in some sort of dinive manner, bestowing their unique “talents” upon an ungrateful nation, he will be defeated in a landslide should be survive, which will allow the consequently elected Conservatives to push through legislation with ease and they will be able to display the complete disregard to previous promises that Labour did.
However the one advance that has manifested itself in spin-management is that DC has realised that if he actually promises nothing in the first place, and just gives us the very most gaseous of policy pledges he is able to avoid any negative publicity whilst still managing to remain portrayed as being somewhat progressive. It’s even better than Tony Blair, an evolution of the style of media management, and guaranteed to favour the exact same corruption that we are all here complaining about.
It sucks.
Like the Esso Pricewatch policy garage forecourt poster that I recall idly reading from the passenger seat some years ago… sounds good until you think about it, then you realise it means fuck all.
@FMT
n evolution of the style of media management, and guaranteed to favour the exact same corruption that we are all here complaining about.
It sucks.
It does indeed. But the sad thing is that clearly the ’swing’ voters fall for this shit. And it is the ’swing’ voters that decide the election. Not those hard-wired idiots in Glenrothes.
‘Red rosette you say? Good enough fer me’.
I don’t think DC has anything like the “actual” popularity that the opinion polls represent, the truth is that people aren’t sold on him by any stretch.
Esso pricewatch?
Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime *chant 3 times mouth open like a zombie dinnerlady*
I don’t despise DC, I just think that the fact the sum total he achieved prior to (his daddy helping him get in to) politics is to spend vast sums of trust-fund wealth sticking coke up his nose and er… fuck all else speaks volumes about what sort of performance we can expect when he is almost by default handed the keys to number 10.
He’s no leader, he’s a quibbling, cautious brat.

Labourlist better-the-devil-you-know propaganda. I suppose the touchy-feely approach works better than the sneering trolls that normally come on here.
Rubbish, I’m saying very simply that BOTH options are undesirable. I’m sure labour supporters do troll here, I am not one of them – I am just one of those people who has an interest in politics and sees very little to celebrate at the moment.
Has DC or any of the gutless wonders on the Tory front bench actually mentioned the Lisbon Treaty recently?
Foreignors are about to vote our Parliament & country’s independence into history & all they can do is spin, spin, spin this bollox?
As has been said already: Red Labour/Blue Labour. Some choice.
that would be a bit risky seeing as no body has been able to read it or cross reference it yet
Try the British Management Data Foundation (Tel: +44 1452 812837 Fax: +44 1452 812527) to purchase their printed versions of the Constitutional Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty, including commentaries. Their Lisbon is cross referenced to the Constitutional treaty, making it relatively easy to trace the almost complete similarity of the two. Lisbon actually amends two existing treaties.
Has DC or any of the gutless wonders on the Tory front bench actually mentioned the Lisbon Treaty recently?
whats the point we don’t get a vote while the Irish get two.
Nu labour Britain summed up to a Tee!
(Jo) 7:15am That’s a good way of looking at it. (But vote us in anyway. It don’t make no never mind). ‘What’s the point?
Little Dunc the Tories’ pocket poove is definitely not ‘redux’ as i understand it:
Redux is an adjective meaning “brought back, restored” (from the Latin reducere – bring back)
I think Guy is in Anthony Trollope mode, as in the “political novels”.”Who will tell the Prime Minister, Phineas Redux” etc.Sit up at the back!
It’s all in the destination. Restored to splendour or restored to the backwater. Sorry to be a pain, it’s my 1975 vintage O Level in English Language that annoys.
I’ve got one them too – Grade B
Ah, and now you want to renew your acquaintance with me sir. Well you can Redux Off.
I only got a C in English Lit.
E here, bloody WW1 poetry
Ah-ha good old Siegfried Sassoon I suspect. Can’t remember a bloody thing sadly. Socialist apparently; right, back to politics.
He did a kind of honourable ‘Joyce’. A brave soldier, who spoke out about the pity of war.
I say, this blog is awfully better read and indeed refined since Guido sorted the nasties and trolling out. The stamping of his feet was worth it.
Isn’t this an own-goal for the Tories?
Surely the fact that Labour plan to cut spending kills Labour’s “Tory cuts” attack, so it would have been better for the Tories for it to be the big news item.
Rather than being a slick Cameron media operation, this looks more like the BBC helping Labour spin. The Chancellor is able to tell the markets that he’ll cut spending (so avoiding a damaging down-grading of the UK’s credit rating), while the BBC make sure that the voters don’t know.
This was my immediate reaction too.
It’s a matter of timing. The election is probably going to be next May, so what happens now is of minimal importance. When the election comes, both parties will be proposing cuts and tax rises.
I think the last thread about Gordon cracking up is much funnier.
That was worrying. Where’s the nuclear button? Has mandy taken it with him to China to keep it out of gordon’s way?
Samantha Cameron being used as political window dressing?
Somehow, I don’t think so. Samantha is no bimbo, and very much her own woman. Any attempts by CMD or the Tory spin machine to use her as a distraction would be very swiftly and decisively repelled, I suspect.
Don’t expect to see Samantha at breakfast with Nick Robinson again any time soon – Samantha eating Nick Robinson for breakfast is more likely.
oh for fucks sake engineer there you go again, bigging up the tories.
tell the truth and shame the devil: you are a fucking tory supporter. that is your business engineer but tell us, why have you been lying that you are not a tory when you so very clearly are.
don’t lie engineer, it makes you appear very shifty and untrustworthy.
you will have to come up with a new name now liar.
I`m a tory supporter, so you can go fuck yourself moron.
I am sure the conservative party is glad to know they have a cretinous and inane hooligan like you supporting them and representing them here, on the most popular political blog in the country.
retard.
So am I and not afraid to say it. Why is it “right on” to boast about being a Labour supporter, as if that makes you morally superior, and yet one is supposed to skulk in the shadows for being conservative?
What is so wrong about being patriotic – country before party? What is wrong with wanting to minimise the state’s involvement in our lives? What is wrong with reducing taxes to allow the individual to decide where his coin goes and not some fucking bureaucrat? What is wrong with allowing ordinary people the opportunity to acquire private property?
It is much easier to go with the herd and be an armchair socialist; be caring and have a conscience – with other people’s money of course. The “rich”, by definition someone with more money than you, should be stripped of their wealth and have it redistributed to the “poor” – everyone including yourself with less money than the rich. I can see the appeal but I just hate hypocrites and charlatans which are what most “socialists” seem to be.
Tat is none of these things merely “independent”. Sitting on the fence I call it.
I think it’s better to support a candidate than a party. Or agree with policies whatever the party. The problem with parties is they get more extreme the longer they’re in power – though the main parties appear to be blurring to me, which can only be bad for democracy. Research your candidates, and hope there’s one who shares your principles and at least seems honourable. You can’t stick to principles when you’re obliged to tow a party line.
‘Tow’? Toe. Doh.
Phil O’ Pastree 8:41pm-I thought you suggested you were a Conservative? And then go on to talk about policies lacking in their Leader. Or are you a conservative I.E: UKIP type?
It’s unfortunate that the governing party has apparently ditched its principles and has conducted its politics in a short-termist and less then honourable manner, forcing the main opposition to conduct politics in a way it would not choose to do.
Parties should have principles, and their policies should follow them, shaped to prevailing circumstances. Individuals should follow party principles, but need not necessarily slavishly support every detailed policy.
I think the Conservatives understand that, but Labour has been too keen to keep the lobby-fodder ‘on-message’, and not allowed them to think. It will be a relief to see more debate; it may appear messier, but in the end proper debate usually results in better governance.
The blurring, short-term strategies and ditched principles come from them pretending to be on everyone’s ’side’ in the scramble for power.

Samantha Cameron is a babe!!!Beautiful,intelligent and ultra feminine. she would make a good P.M. in her own right!!!
She is the brains and drive behind the Smythson high-quality stationery brand, so has proven business ability as well.
Yes perhaps she is those things. But she is also the mother of a disabled child.
Sadly that child died.
That sort of harrowing experience produces worthwhile human beings because they understand the suffering of those who have to deal with that.
Money does not touch this sort of tragedy.
Nor do war reparations
“Darling’s announcement was no match televisually for Sam Cam breakfasting with Nick Robinson!” he announced, breathlessly, his fingers skipping over the keys like catnipped kittens. I suppose this is the kind of things you life-forms enjoy?
Yeah well it rubbed off on Boris’s writing lately dinen it. He’s one of us now.
One of the reasons I don’t have a TV is so I don’t end up watching such a sick-making exhibitions as “Sam Cam” twiddling in her kitchen. It’s bad enough that our MPs have troughed themselves into a stupor, whilst handing over our democracy to a set of fraudulent oligarchs in Brussels, without having CMD’s stupid spin treacled down our throats.
I hear from my Labour councillor/branch treasurer friend that the knives are out for Brown, seriously this time. Party insiders expect him to be gone by Xmas.
Heard that before….. Mind you, they have nothing left to lose now, surely?
It will be a poisoned chalice, particularly for the Tories when they win the next election. We will all be paying for Brown’s financial scorched earth policies for years to come.
Will ‘We’? How’s that then.
33. Nice Christmas present. Will message come down the chimney with Santa Claus?
Its an economy, stupid. Construe the Greek if you have to.
You could crush him in that big industrial squasher thingy, but I fear that little red light in his eye would never go out.
Just consider the consequences of changing leader. While Brown is indeed bad news, an attempt to force him out at this late stage, whether successful or not, would be catastrophic for Labour. Things are bad enough as they are without making the situation far worse. Labour will lose under Brown, but they risk losing by a much greater margin if they force Brown out and try to hang on until May, alienating more of their core vote.
We will need a strong opposition to hold Cameron to account, and I can’t see anybody else getting 200 seats for Labour. Add to that the fact that whoever leads the party into the next election will have to resign immediately afterwards, forcing a second leadership election in the space of a few months. Labour will make themselves look as desperate and shambolic as the Tories were under IDS.
The problem for any challenger to labour is that whoever manages to topple him and become leader, is going to lose the next election.
Would you fight a bruising leadership contest knowing that failure at the forthcoming election was guaranteed?
Surely it would be better to leave gordon to go down in flames and then to fight over the sorry remnants of the labour party after the election is over.
That way the next labour leader can be seen to be rebuilding the party rather than being the one who lost the election.
Yes, Nell. Apart from anything else all the top advertisers are vying for commercial space on telly in between live coverage of Gordon being forced from Number 10 and the removal men chucking his stuff in the back of the van.
What you say would be true for a normal failed leader, but Gordoom is much worse, so I tend to think Labour will be better off ditching him now.
So one set of spinners outdoing another set of spinners,so no politics involved and no ordinary mortals hurt and we have to pay these bastards money on the pain of going to jail,no wonder people are not voting,when are we going to get real honest politician’s and not actors.
Stand yourself?
The printing of fake money by Brown is a parting gift to the Tories, poisoning the wells before he is beaten.
Mental Mcloony has nearly a year to sabotage the UK economy and the UKs international reputation(whats left of it) and being the mental case he is he is going to smash up and sabotage as much as possible before he is forced out.
Its the equivolent of placing rotting fish in the air conditioning system, a childish revenge for a childish man.
We can now look forward to a McBust policy of scorched earth as he tries to leave the UK in the worst possible state for Cameron to inherit.
I can see Cameron in my minds eye in front of No10 a week after he gets the PMship, pale with rage as he finds out exactly what Brown has been upto.
A public inquiry into the causes and blame for the recession after the Tories win the next election is becoming a distinct possibility now examining the politically motivated bailouts, who got rich etc.
I reckon he’ll be gone soon. He’s too much of a liability.
A favourite of mine is putting fresh poo in hand dryers.
You do that too?
Yes Mark me too, we should start a society for like minded people like us.
Whatever was that old song – I know: ‘Poo for Two, and Two for Poo’. It was a great favourite with Eva & Adolf, I believe.
Far more effective on a paper plate in a microwave, you get to close down an entire floor of the building then. Call youself a delinquent?
I hope you will join the ‘poo lovers and hobbiyst appreciation club’ Stilyagi and educate us more.
I wonder if Guido ( or anybody else) knows to whom this refewrs, seen on another website today?
The wife of which Labour politician tried to
claim on insurance for the loss of her wedding
ring, when in reality she’d thrown it out of
the car window having learned he’d been
boning up on the parliamentary briefs
of a colleague?
OOh someone give us a clue! Not interested in the scandalous personal life, but that’s fraud……
Oooohhhh. Who’s this then?
Do tell.
Briefs, not knickers ?
obviously made up. Labour and straight sex.
prezza? Do I win a prize if I’m right?
Female wife was it?
after eating a mound of pearl barly, corned beef and tinned peaches, Brown is squatting, pulling his cheeks apart and doing a Mr Whippy shit on the British electorate.
Unless one of the Labour bench suddenly grows some balls, Labour will never ever ever be forgiven for not dead legging Brown and pushing him into the canal
2 fart-That’s a bit cryptic; what are you saying?
Is that one from the Mark Oaten recipe book then ? …
What, no flake?
KY tinned peaches I trust.
I am the Walrus
Yes. You most certainly are.
KOOOO KOOO CACHOOOOOOOOOOOO
You are the Walrus of Gruff
And i am the egg man
You’re a real nowhere man, man.
A terribly thin Walrus, after your bulimia?
Brown may be on pills, but there’s no cure for being a complete morose Hoon.
You could make him smile by impaling him.
Mandleson probably does.
Brown is not on drugs. But the Lobby have been comatose for 12 years.
Churchill famously had his black dog.
If like Brown my entire world paradigm had been shown to be a load of pants – then I would be in something of a state of denial.
This is Browns problem – he is somewhere up a river in Egypt.
“…………….the Lobby have been comatose for 12 years.”
Absolutely spot on. The lobby journos have a lot to answer for – not least for their gullibility(and culpability in selling the Labour lies to the electorate) until 2 years ago when a few started to awaken from their comtose state and were seized by an enormous guilt for “defrauding the public” although some amongst them STILL actually believe what Labour tells them
The BBC are starting to realise what’s coming as well.
Already releasing stories of a “New slimmed down” BBC.
To bleedin late mate !!
nope. “New slimmed down” is the name of BBC’s new flagship current affairs programme taking over from Panorama, hosted by Fern Briton and Sarah Brown, tackling hard hitting issues like, women, and why the fuck.
Soz. – Too……
I’m going home. :-(
You looking at me?
“Low life and high politics are meat and drink to award-winning Kevin Maguire, our man prowling the corridors of power. ”
Through a little hole…..
On the politics of Camerons speech.
It seems sensible.
First set out how you are going to cut the cost of politics and government and make MPs and Ministers feel something of a pinch.
Later you can set out how govt spending ‘is going to be brought under control’.
Start at the top and move down.
Good thinking, Dave.
At last. Dave has realised that we taxpayers are sick to death of bearing the brunt of bad financial management. Any cuts have to start at the top first.
Oi – what about me??!!
You can’t just put me down and ignore me after talking about me all day long!
I need attention too.
Oi!! – Nurse!! ?
Anyone ?
I would just like to say – take that you scotch loony and your queer friend Mandelstein. I beat you, ha ha!
The press have made up their minds, the people have made up their minds, and the result of the next election is pretty much already decided. So, if you want to keep your audience you don’t run a good-news story for Labour as your first item.
The BBC are busy trying to gain the initiative back from the tory spin machine.
Robinson’s equating brown with churchill and saying we shouldn’t have an election because we’re in economic-war-mode and brown’s the only man who can win the war.
He’s even put a picture of Churchill on his blog.
It won’t work
Maybe he’s barking as well
stop picking on nick robinson you sick bastards, nick is down’s syndrome.
it is just not right baiting people with down’s syndrome.

dear fan,
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
but you cannot butter me up that easily, you will have to fill out your thick as thieves fan club application form just like everyone else.
good cripple.
Which reminds me of something I heard Churchill say when I was a lad, when a lady scolded “Mr Churchill, you are drunk!”
“Yes, madam, and you are ugly, but I shall be sober in the morning.”
In other words, GB would still be a useless sociopath without the medication and he won’t be able to get off the drugs now he’s on.

Where’s Mandelscum hopped off to – our self appointed business manager? He can’t still be nursing his arse. Not a squaek out of him about the Magna car take over at Luton and Ellesmere Port. Sounds as if the Germans will clean up on this one. As usual our industry is left out in the cold, with workers worrying if they will still be employed by Christmas.
Get ready for mass layoffs at GM UK soon, Mandelsnake comes on trying to say its a victory for socialist brotherhood, the krauts get all the jobs and the Brits get to buy the cars on credit provided by the Krauts at ‘competetive rates’ its a give and take scenario isnt it? the Krauts take and we give….everyones a winner eh?….except us of course.
You have to hand it to the Franco Greman axis….because they will only take it anyway.
Still the sacked British workers can always bask in the warm glow of moral satisfaction that German workers will still have jobs, perhaps the German workers could send food parcels and fly over liverpool dropping sweets on the city for the starving kiddies?
The UK is losing industrial jobs and gaining government nonjobs, we are dumping the wealth creators and spawning masses of wealth parasites, it doesnt take a genius to work out the end game does it?
The Germans produce more cars, more navy/civil ships, more industrial goods, more finshed metals, more aircraft, more space vehicles, more consumer goods than ever before while we produce more…er…uhm….aah mass unemployment and special outreach executive government sustainable cohesion equality enforcement officers.
Oooh what about the airbus wing maker in the UK I hear the critics say? In fact the site makes old fashioned aluminium wings when the future of wing making lies in the production of new lighter and stronger wings from composite materials, how long before a new plant in France/Germany comes on line making the new technology wings?
We spent a few days in Munich last week.It is clean, well-heeled, pleasant, low crime and the underground works on an honesty system, which hardly anyone abuses.They make BMW, porsche not far away,have a strong research industry and a good attitude to tourists.There are no boarded up shops.
Das stimmt!
While our media are interested in watching Dave having brekky, the French and Germans are having our lunch and tea.
Neither of our political parties has the slightest vision for the future. they are unable to articulate sensible policies or principles, and are only interested in getting elected.
No wonder the Americans no longer rate our country. We get the leaders we deserve. We have allowed ourselves to become a enfeebled shell without a role in the world.
We seem powerless to remove the most despised prime minister in modern history and he represents our decline .
The self appointed “Business Manager” for the UK is skyving off as usual. His “department” yet another of those Frankenstein cobbled together from all over me, me, me vanity-fests that are completely disfunctional.
In my day to day money-grubbing guise I was recently forced to make a technical enquiry to the UKTI (having received a big fat nil response from OfCom who supposedly “regulate” this issue). I was told that this particular international trade matter such as I had raised had unfortunately been seconded off to the gnomes in Mandlebum’s Business Innovation & McSkills Empire and that sadly UKTI could no longer assist but the Good Lord’s minions would jump to it.
Two emails later (and a compulsory wait of 14 days for a response each time) and guess what? Yup, still no reply.
Build Ourselves An Empire and Fook Up The UK – Socialists, That’s What We Do.
mandy is in China drumming up support for gordon prior to the G20 summit.
Mind he’s doing a bit of grand-standing of his own – looks quite prime ministerial meeting with the chinese leaders.
Surely it’s gordon who should be doing this high profile globe trotting isn’t it?
What do the chinese do with pretentious ying-tong-diddle-i-fo types?
Buy another motorcar factory like Rover or whatever it was called, and ship it out at their expense?
He can’t have been there for four weeks together with every member of the team. Surely? Or do you think he is just ignoring me? [Flounces off]

Brown is laughing and giggling as he sabotages the UK out of petty jealousy and spite.
He sits and dreams up ways of destroying the UK economy simply to hurt his enemies? He hopes things will get so bad from things like the mad printing of fake money will make a Wiemar style implosion very possible.
Brown has nearly a year left to wreak his petty revenge on a ungrateful nation, we simply dont understand his genius you see, everyone else is wrong and out of step but him, how could the ordinary little people see the bigger picture?
If he cannot lead the nation then perhaps he feels there should be no nation left for anyone else to govern.
His forthcoming book ‘my struggle’ will explain how he was let down by the British people, it was they who failed him, it was the British nation that wasnt strong enough and have shown themselves to be unworthy of such a great man. Ooops sorry, the above is from the leaders last will and testement before he poisons his beard and shoots himself, the ‘my struggle’ book is not ready for publication yet, maybe when he is dead eh?
Thank you Ms King, for promoting my upcoming book project ‘Gordon Brown: My Struggle’
As already highlighted on this site in the past, It will be released via Google Books first for all those who are eager to preorder my latest magnum opus.
Thanking you all
Gordon Brown PM
Strong, soft and thoroughly absorbent…
Thanks for the endorsement.
Remember Stalingrad: You will hold your ground and fight to the last man, but Mein Fuhrer the situation is hopeless, Fuhrer turns pale with rage, have you not read and understood my books on Courage? Its left to me with only the one ball shot off in the service of the Fatherland (Scotland) to defeat the enemy, get me Goebbels on the phone, Hello is that BBC Headquarters Shepherds Bush.
I hope I am still alive when Brown dies, a trip to dance on his fucking grave would top my life off nicely, there will be a queue of course so sarnies and flask while waiting would help.
Actually a regular coach trip could prove popular with many people, come and piss on Browns grave, music could be provided via loudspeakers and the dancing could be of the Scottish variety and the whole local comunity could benefit from the trade, dancing up a fucking storm on the hoons grave, now that would be satisfying indeed. In death he would help more people than he ever helped in life.
I long to see his face crack when he loses the election, I long to see the result of his lifes work crash to the ground, that split second when he realises that he is hated and despised more than any polititian since Hitler.
Seems a bit unfair on Herr Hitler.
Don’t hold back Cass. Let it all out.
At least Hitler came to power by winning a national election at the polls…Brown hasn’t even managed that.
Nothing ruthless about the lad.It he hadn’t dumped Huky Dunky Gordo & Mandy would have dumped on him from a great height.The lad didn’t have any choice so stop spinnning the ruthless bit!
This is what Dive lacks, ruthlessness!
If I was leader of the opposition Gordoom would have run out of the House in tears long ago, never to return!
Dave-do us a favor and grow some bollocks or f-off or consolidate with other patriotic parties who will get the most votes from pissed off patriots. Time is running out.
For the BBC, a nice piece about Frank Field, the one Labour MP deserving of respect.
About Thatcher:
..”They had become friends and he admired her steel and grip on the government machine.
Convinced that her Conservative colleagues were too weak to tell her straight that she could not win the leadership race, Mr Field advised her to back John Major.
He was then smuggled out of Downing Street’s back door.
Almost 20 years on, Mr Field would willingly do the same with the current occupant of Number 10, but it is unlikely he would be let in. ”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8248795.stm
Frank field is no stranger to other mens back doors
Another fucking fudge nudger
Camerhoon and Gideon may be a pair of coke snorting users of black female whores …….
FUCK
Thats enough to get me voting for them
Frank Field has been married to the same woman for over 25 years i thought. Hardly a poofter.
Old school, decent, respected, hardworking, thinking man.
Unfortunately the Blair years heralded in a completely different sort of MP – people who cared more about climbling the slippery slope for their own self aggrandisement and milking the system for as much as they can get.
How on earth are we to get back to attracting Frank Field sort of people into parliament? I don’t know.
I was no lover of Mrs Thatcher, but at least I was always able to repect her as a ‘worthy enemy.’
If Dive only had one of her balls!
Yes and she kept them in her handbag!!
Mention Mrs T and her handbag over here in N. Europe and they break out in a cold sweat.
He has a lovely tan .
Apart from a spot of buggery and dubious use of oil just what does this fucking gay midget have to offer?
What the fuck have we done to get such types in “our” Parliament?
That fucking gay midget would have been stoned to death in more sensible times.
Camerhoon should beat that sodomite to death IN PUBLIC if if he wants our votes.
I love a bit of homophobia. We don’t get anywhere near enough of it since these politically correct Hoons have been in power lording it over us.
A backlash is long overdue.
I fucking agree apart from the phrase “Homophobia”
Im not scared of these fucking perverts, I just happen to think that they should all have a red hot piece of iron inserted in to their rectums, have their cocks cut off and then be burnt at the stake.
It may be an unfashionable opinion
But its mine.
Would you say that you have Tourette’s syndrom, Beast, or are you just what our American friends would call a ‘redneck’?

Well beast let’s face it. Alan is an attractive, good looking, man. Broke Back Mountain material.
Yes he’s been really stupid and has let the conservatives down and I suspect he might fight to get re-elected.
But personally speaking his sexual preferences are not what turns me away from him.
His tiny cock turns me away from him i tell ya.

Captain Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty?
How depressing……..
I understand that Terry Waite and Martin Bell have put together an “honest politics” alliance with over 30 prospective partliamentary anti-sleaze candidates for the next election.
Aland Duncan is one of the seats they are proposing to target.
Terry Waite and Martin Bell, two idiotic, sanctimonious hypocrites.
All they need is for Esther Rantzen and Rowan Williams to join them, for a full house of patronising, self aggrandising dullards.
Honest politics my arse.
Terry was playing away with somebody’s wife when he was kidnapped. Mrs TW- who was about to give him the elbow- was then put in the horrible position of having to ’support’ the saintly prisoner and keep her lip buttoned – for years.
Nell
Will Terry waite be claiming exes for his radiator and handcuffs ?
“Second home claim (hole in ground) plus plate of gruel a day”
Actually I’d love to see Terry and Martin bustling about the corridors of Westminster after the next election as a daily reminder of the expenses scandal.
Of course if their alliance won 30 seats , they’d be a not inconsiderable presence, wouldn’t they?
They won’t win more than one seat at best under FPTP i’m afraid.
I’m not so sure. I think the next election might be something quite different to past elections.
I think the labour vote is going to collapse like it never has before. All those votes have to go somewhere and many of them won’t automatically transfer to the tories. What better option than to vote for an independent anti-sleaze candidate.
Martin Bell has pulled this off successfully once before against the conservatives so he has valuable experience in how to do it.
Yeah that’s the answer nell, clone Martin Bell. Why didn’t we think of this before?
A cloned martin bell is worth Ten of gordon.
Mark Thompson called James Murdoch out of touch

Congratulations to the England Women’s football team on losing 6-2 to Germany.
G. Brown.
You are a loser Gordon, like your lesbian football team.
Ha, insult us all you like but we have already qualified for the World cup with 2 games still left to play.
your group was fixed like your cricket pitches.
Yes, the Lads told me they dug holes in them to stop the Junkers JU 88’s landing. My English is getting very good Ja!
Up to about 3 months ago,although subjected to ridicule, Brown attracted a certain amount of sympathy . He looked dreadful and seemed to be in mental
anguish .
I must admit that he had my sympathy even though I have always detested him– since well before 1997.
I thought that he would resign in June so that he coulld recover his health .
He owes his wife and children some consideration .
Purnell resigned to help Brown to make the right decision but Brown is the living proof that it is impossible to help those who wll not help themselves
“He that would govern others,
first should be the master of himself”
So anyways, how did the dykes get on in the football? Sarah’s really into it, dunno why.
They won 5-1 against Croatia.
Dunno about the ladies team though.
O/T but somewhat relevant.
US President Barack Obama has voiced his disappointment directly to UK PM Gordon Brown over the release of the Lockerbie bomber, the White House says.
Mr Brown had made it clear the decision had been a matter for the Scottish government, the spokesman added.
It wasne me, Omaha
Everybody blames someone else, thus solving the conundrum that Al Megrahi’s appeal would have shown up the corruption involved by all parties at the original trial.
Who’s on first base?
What.
Another fucking Jock.
Off topic?, you’ll have to do a lot better than that on this blog.
A?
What a pathetic creature he must appear to the Americans and the Germans and the French and the Italians. Well silvio himself is pathetic so maybe not the Italians.
You forgot the British.
Goes without saying that he looks pathetic to us.
He thinks we see him as the saviour of the economic world!!
It’s called self-delusion!!
But then most of the current MP’s suffer from that problem in varying degrees!
Say what you want about Silvio but at least he’s a vagira laden hit with the ladies and self made millionaire which proves he has some professional competence and likeable qualities.
So nell, what first attracted you to multi billionaire Silvio?
His disability of being unable to relate to any woman who isn’t paid to be with him?
Well I made a mistake there. ( see gordon you can admit you are human and make mistakes)
No self respecting woman would be attracted to the ageing berlusconni. He’s living on viagra and paid prostitutes. That’s why his very attractive and intelligent wife is divorcing him.
He is headed for a rather ignominious and lonely old age – bit like gordon.
As far as I know, the last time a British PM got a telling off from a US President was for the Suez fiasco – well done Brown for making yourself an even bigger tit in their eyes than even we thought possible, ruining our most valuable foreign relationship, oh I give up… what a useless Hoon.
Chin up Gordon. At least your entry in the guiness book of records will never be broken
Getting fucked over by the yanks (for their own selfish foreign policy objectives and fuck you Brits and Froggies by the way) during the Suez campaign is what blew the lid on this whole Islamic shitzkrieg.
If the Egyptians had been kept in their box then the rest of the fuckers wouldn’t have got notions of superiority ultimately culminating in the multi-fronted war against Islamo-idiocy we seem to have got dragged into today.
And yet, in the teeth of this bare-faced betrayal by the yanks we still continue to pick up the phone and give a shit what they have to say?
First get rid of our home-grown Labour idiots. Then buy some cheap nukes of the Russians and then give the yanks a full and frank appraisal of our ’special relationship’.
JGM2 are you in alright dear. Why don’t you go kick your cat or something, ummm? It is politicians who start wars not the people.
Ehhhhhhh no offence mate, you might wanna read up on EL CID, Charles Martel and Vlad Tepes etc. etc. They’ve been at it for 1500+ years long before Suez.
Historian but not a mathematician. 1500 years ago was before Mohammed was born so Islam did not even exist then, neither was Charles Martel born, nor El Cid nor Vlad Tapas all of which sounds like something you can order in a Spanish bodega.
women’s football, tennis, limited overs cricket, basketball, industrial policy, you name it, we’re shit.
You’re shit you mean.
Brown on BBC2, The Love of Money spouting his latest versions of, “…it started in America, it’s all the bankers fault, I save the world” etc. all courtesy of the BBC and at the license fee payers expense.
The сunts really do think we’re fucking stupid.
Let us pause for a moment to consider what the polling figures would look like if the BBC was as AntiBrown as they were Anti-Major at this point. If we still had spitting image on TV with a charicature ‘Terry Fuckwitt’ Brown perpetually making the wrong choice on the simplest of calls.
‘Will I stick my dick in the blender or will I have a Hobnob?’
Frankly 26% in the teeth of that lack of negative reporting is a fucking embarrassment for Labour. Or it should be. Unfortunately, as each day passes, as John Prescott accepts a proffessorship to lecture Chinese University students, we are reminded that this government is utterly beyond embarrassment.
I’ve said it before but they are a black hole of idiocy. No sensible thought escapes. Any obvious course of action is just extinguished and remains stillborn. The only thing that comes out of this government is pure, concentrated, undiluted 1000 Molar idiocy.
You’d have to start invoking multiple dimensions and complex mathematics to fit more fucking idiocy into this Labour government. But since they’re all fucking mathematical idiots that would present a bit of a dichotomy.
You’re right but how come Call me Dave thinks he’s got the answer by saving 120 million ie 0,12 Billion when he’s only got 1200 Billion to go. Does he really think we are that stupid. Well he’s right, most of em can’t count beyond a goal score.
But is he really that stupid to think the answer is to tit around with 0.1% of the problem. Sadly I suspect yes.
Surely there must be someone amongst the duck houses who can count and manage the situation.
The old saying, take care of the pennies, the bastards have stolen the pounds.
I like it, gave me a laugh !
Yeah. It’s cynical meeja presentation to the mathematical fuckwits of the UK electorate. Wow! 120 million quid! That is a shit-load of money. The same kind of announcements that have characterised Labour press releases and budgets sine 1997.
‘Today I am announcing the establishment of a quango employing over 100 loyal party members in a marginal seat at the cost of 80 million quid to report on the contribution toe-nail clippings can make to social mobility’.
‘Wowwwww! 80 million quid. That Labour government – always finding shed-loads of cash to address the big issues of the moment.
But as we, who are not mathematical plankton know. It’s not the 120 million quid that is the story. It’s the difference between the politics of envy of the left ‘We will fuck over those earning more than a cabinet minister (ie not us) by taxing them at 50% which will raise fuck-all compared to a 200bn quid deficit but will give idiot party loyalists a fucking major boner’ compared with ‘We will take a hit on our own pay and conditions and I’m afraid you’re all going to have to as well’.
It really is the difference between a child and an adult.
Unfortunately 26%of the UK population have the mentality of a 4 year old.
This has been proven by many recent polls. 26% is the percentage of sub normals out there.
I would like to apologize to 4 year olds. Even a four year old understands the concept of ‘fair’. For a government to seek to seize over 50% of some folks earnings by force which will in no material way address a 200bn quid annual deficit is not ‘fair’. It is pure politics.
A four year old wouldn’t fall for that. A 24 year old wouldn’t fall for that. Only a nasty, envious, uneducated imbecile would fall for that. The lower quartile as we used to call them.
The next chancellor will propose the radical fiscal policy of bunging the budget on the favourite in the 4:15 at Uttoxeter,on the assumption that the betting tax will provide a win win solution even if our mount bursts a blood vessel at the first fence.
What the Hell happened to the land I grew up in. The land of Drake, and Wellington and Churchill. All completely fucked by Marxoid Zombies aka Socialists, and to think I was once deluded enough to vote for these shites, alright it was a long time ago.
Now they’ve so fucked the edukashun sistem, my daughters wiv straight As and Firsts in Histery think it’s Napoleon on top of that pillar in Trafalgar Square innit.
Jesus we need something better than the tosser Call me Dave to get us out of this hole.
How long Oh Lord
Ah well the UKIP contest is next week seeing as you asked.
Which contest is that ? Is there any way I can support it ?
Clap your hands and shout ” come on UKIP “
I’ll get mi scarf ready. In the meantime it’s time for Horlicks
The Tories need to hire a campaign bus to shadow Brown and the Labour cabinet of all the imbeciles. Stuff it with young, photogenic babes and rowing types.
Any time the Labour bus stops for a ’spontaneous’ photo op then crank up the massive onboard sound system and instead of ‘Thiiiings can only get betteeeeer’ give it the full ‘You’re shiiiiiiit and you know you aaaaare’. With appropriate synchromised pointing by the onboard help.
Should appeal to the younger voters.
UKIP imploding,leaves Knickers Griffon as the last bastion of English independance. A bit like finding out Gary Glitter’s your babysitter for the evening.
The UKIP leadership process / contest I think I read somewhere?

Troll watch…nice try particulalrly the dig at the end at CMD…. If your so fucking clever then get your own arse up there and stand. You won’t though will you because twats like you can only carp from the sidelines. Twat!
I haven’t heard reports of candidate Troll Watch standing anywhere
From your grammar or lack of it, you are obviously already on NuLiebor’s inside track.
Look on the bright side, Beowulff, at least it’s not your daughter standing on a plinth doing something embarrasingly “nu-labour” for “art” or “climate change” or “peace in the world” or whatever. I understand a session on the plinth is equivalent to four GCSE’s. Or something.
For anyone who doubts Cameron’s Euroscepticism, check this out:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/6169890/Barack-Obama-and-David-Cameron-Will-there-still-be-a-special-relationship.html
“Cameron will find it far harder to reach anything like consensus on his approach to Europe. According to reports, he has spent precious face-time with Obama attempting to convince him of the perils of the EU project. Such attempts have bemused Obama’s aides, for two reasons. First, because they seem peripheral to the international challenges the two countries face. Second, because the EU plays an invaluable role for the United States, both in terms of trade and as a political grouping.”
Who is this gay,motherfucking,nancy boy,white honky?
Dave-if he is elected Cameron that is. This time we the people should decide what our foreign and any other policies are going to be not him or his ilk. Utter arrogance
So either Omaha & Co are really thick or else they’re part of the problem.
Part of the problem?

As the Bush administration waned, the Treasury shoveled more than a quarter of a trillion dollars in tarp funds into the financial system—without restrictions, accountability, or even common sense. The authors reveal how much of it ended up in the wrong hands, doing the opposite of what was needed.
You wont believe this
I have a mate who is a police officer who also has the misfortune to keep the one eyed Hoon safe
He fucking swears that McMental has taken to sleeping in the garden behind No10
Boxer shorts, shirt, tie and socks. in a bivi bag and quilt.
Every night and has a pizza or chinese take away delivered.
No poovery, or drugs ,just that.
He’s just getting aquainted with the Libyan president’s karma, probably.
I thought cheese was a big no-no for the snot gourmet, given the drugs he is on to keep him semi sane?
It’s going to make a good film – the Madness of Gordon Brown. I would cast Dougray Scott as Brown and the late Charles Hawtrey as Mandelson.
If it was a nappy i could believe it,but boxers? Do me a favour.
Nope
He wears boxer shorts and tries to piss in the garden
Fucking lost the plot
Either that or he is reliving his Boy Scout days.
The return of Mr Ed…….. Gordon’s waking nightmare:
No 10 caught lying yet again… and guido gets his own cartoon mention

SKY NEWS
Four years and £16m later the report into the collapse of MG Rover is finally due to be published.
The report is expected to be critical of the four businessmen behind Rover’s parent company Phoenix, who are thought to have made as much as £40m during their five years in charge.
Well its a good day to bury bad news of course so that tidys all that up for Labour. Nothing to see here guv now move along please and don’t mention the vote buying cash injections ….hurumpff! (taps side of nose)
Note to BBC -don’t mention the joint visit during the last general election campaign by Blair and Brown to re-assure Labour voters in the region
Let’s hope Labour voters remember the visit and the empty promises
They DO – believe me they DO-Labour is going to lose some key marginal seats in this area
That is the most heartening thing I have heard for some time
A perfect outcome: no blame for ministers, a very light slap on the wrists for the asset-strippers and hard cheese for the workforce.
How on earth could a £16m report be justified?
Exactly what did the firm who produced this report do for this astounding amount of money?
…and more to the point – why is the minister who brokered the deal for the 4 directors to buy Rover for £10 not being investigated?
Strinks to high heaven, this does.
the spin has started.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8250051.stm
Mandlesonovavitch calling in a few favours?
nothing on the action on officials who made the optimistic briefings, nothing on the high minded politicans who authorised them, and no silly questions about marginal seats in the West Midlands.
Government officials say that they were given innacurate and misleading information about Rover by one of the “Phoenix Four”. They don’t say what the information was, or which one gave it, and we shall probably never find out, perhaps because the information may (allegedly) incriminate somebody high up.
If this was true, government would be shouting it from the roooftops, and every TV in the land would have this plastered all over their screens.
We can’t believe a word they say. Ever.
Original report £1 million (and over priced at that but hey it’s for the gummint, innit?) but the 15 re-writes, each time withdrawing another govt official or politician from the frame, is what racked up the bill.
These guys know what they are doing; the first draft is probably the only one close to the truth.
……which will never, ever, see the light of day.
Whitewash.
Yet again Brown’s government is trying to place the blame on someone else.
I would expect that it is Labour voters who have been hardest by Gordon fuck ups.
I would also expect that in the worksplace your average Labour voter has an increased sense of entitlement over other voters, workshy, and wanting some ting for nothing so I guess on average they will be made redundant before a hard working Conservative
Heavens what a dull post Guido.
Seems you are being drawn into the spin. “Sam Cam”? Come on old stick you can do better than that.
Camerhoon trying to appear middle class blah blah blah doesn’t cut it. The public are not fooled.
Why can’t these people just be themselves with no apologies? They have nothing to be ashamed about.
Nothing to be ashamed about, other than a lack of policies and political conviction. Policy by popular concensus is no substitute for real ideas.
Spot on, policy by minority consensus the way forward. One idea to start.
Riding bikes, lethal. Licence essential, probably ban them.
Callmedave is just like NULab lot in fact they are all the same, always looking to convince an unbelieving electorate that he has a bigger knob than his nearest opponent, and that his nearest opponent would be a disaster for the nation.
Everybody knows Westminster is the disaster area, full of dead beats swindlers and cretins all scrabbling to get their snouts in the trough at your expense.
Dave the Rave has done sweet fuck all to sort out the looters in his party, why?
You know why!!!!
O/T..but..
Does anyone know if government are asking all parents who, as a favour, run each other’s children to and from school/scouts/clubs etc., to get a CRB check?
Baroness Whatshername was a tad ambigous about this on Sky this morning.
I’m thinking that perhaps the police will be spot-checking parents who do this and fining them £5000 if they have no CRB check, which will cost each individual around £60.
Another way of getting money out of us.
Not really off-topic is it? When a government tells an entire nation that it’s guilty – and will only accept individuals are not if they can *prove* this – then that government is at war with its people. And I’d say that’s on-topic, on every topic.
And where is CallMeDave on this issue? All he has to do this morning is state that the incoming Tory govt will scrap this measure on Day One. He’s rather quiet, don’t you think?
I hate what is happening to this country. I hated it yesterday, but today I have a shocking hangover, and now I hate it even more.
We’ve grown to hate it too, over the years. So much so in fact, that we are in the process of packing up to leave.
All our family is here, and our grandchildren, and it will be a wrench to leave them, but we simply can’t afford to live here now, let alone in our retirement.
But that’s the same mind-set that is going to issue us with ID cards. ID cards have no concceivable use unless they are made compulsory. Then any little government apparatchik will be able to stop you in the street to make sure your papers are in order.
You’ll have to prove who you are constantly. The assumption of honesty and innocence will have been removed by the state. You are all guilty unless you can prove otherwise. Except Labour MPs obviously, who are innocent of all charges and are operating within the rules.
Pure evil fucking bastards. And the only one who stood against it – that David Davis bloke – immediately side-lined as a loon.
There’s a scene in an old film with Kirk Douglas, where he’s faced
with a growling snarling dog.
He ends up virtually strangling the dog with his bare hands.
After that, the dog knows its place.
I want to do the same thing to the genius who thought of this helpful idea.
MP’s their relatives and cronies can’t help looting the taxpayer, its in their nature and, all they know.
Still not one MP locked up, while others are put away for far less.
Actions speak louder than words.
Is it too much to hope that when the tally ho tories get in there will be no return to spin and smear?
Yes.
the bbc is full of fucking tories- they hate lab
