Nothing Too Good for the “Workers”
Guido’s man-at-the-match emails:
Ed Balls spotted enjoying corporate hospitality at Club Wembley on Wednesday for England game with his muckers Charlie Whelan and Kevin Maguire (+ another unknown). Cost approaching £100 per head before ticket price.
Guido has texted Kevin, to no avail, to ask who paid for that jolly. Perhaps it was funded by the union subscriptions from the minimum wage workers represented by Unite?
Last night, in a break from playground litter patrol, the penitent Damian McBride was spotted by Guido’s luvvie-in-the-West-End enjoying a night at the favourite celebrity restaurant The Ivy. Wonder if he has signed for the book deal yet…
Flashback : Limo for Maguire
dead men walking.
dead dead dead these men have helped kill the politcial wing of the labour movement.
it would be apt for them to be hanged by members of the working class.
I’ll do it if the courts permit.
I swear to God I would do it happily.
I get everything for free, let the plebs pay for my jollies. BTW, your union subs are going up next year, the money will go to our “World Cup fund!”
good point free, public sector workers have £8 per month docked from their wages by the unions. there are over a million public sector workers so that means the unions collect atleast 80 million pounds a year for their members.
what the fuck are they doing with all that money?
sending freeloading c’unts like maguire, whelan and balls on jollies innit.
string em up.
Now, now TAT, that 80 million quid has to pay for UNISON’s final salary pension scheme. It’s not like the public sector final salary pension scheme where our children are looted to pay their pensions. UNISON has to put in real money now.
It’s so difficult to get UNISON employees to understand that though. They think everybody has a magic bottomless pension pot.
Nothing’s too good for the workers.
That’s 80 million a MONTH, tat.
… and where does that 80 million quid come from? Why from the taxes extorted from productive private sector workers of course.
Why in heck’s name are public sector workers allowed to join a union which funds one political party anyway? Conflicts of interest? Surely not!
@Me: “That’s 80 million a MONTH, tat.”
No it’s not – apologies, just ignore my arithmetic, I was having a brainstorm there!
Still the point regarding conflicts of interest still stands…
More than that if you’re in Unison.
£8 x 12months x 1,000,000 members = £96,000,000
Ejerkashun, ejerkashun, ejerkashun
I generally tend to choose conservative estimates; more credible innit.
but I am glad you are paying such close attention to my posts you bottle fed number cruncher.
well done!
what a spastic.
You are Kevin Maguire and I claim my £5
ooops aimed at comment 2
Good idea TAT hanged by their members. Ooh I bet that hurts!!
well, to balance things up a bit class-wise we could always sling a few toffs on the bonfire while we are hanging the new labour war criminals.
I think a spectacle like that, with a lot of well placed cameras, could get very very high pay per view numbers, don’t you?
big big fucking numbers.
the advertising take would also be fucking fantastic. you could have an advert between every hanging, so if we had say three hundred lined up for the drop this gig could generate more millions than wot david cameron has got.
and I am willing to donate 10% of all takings to a charity of the readers’ choice.
The charity I choose is…
Fucking delicious!
Guido, how about you focus on the racist far right tory party before picking on Labour politicians…
said the new labour war and occupation party troll.
piss off wanker.
It’s New Labour and their “Anti-Fascist” fascists who are the racists, they are proven English haters, some in New Labour are man haters.
Like I say (probably too often) but projection (i.e. Labour’s racist view of white people) is a core part of the mental illness called socialism.
and you project mental illness in your own words “probably too often”
quite revealing
Sorry Anonymong, the “probably too often” demonstrates self-awareness, a quality you are completely devoid of. In case you hadn’t noticed, Labour politicans have been in power for the last 12 years of catastrophic mismanagement of public finances and services and two cocked-up wars, which is why they are the focus of so much bile here and elsewhere. Your record is indefensible, which is why you resort to smears.
looks like someone hit a little too close to home there
he said nothing about NuLieBore
yet you desperately tried to distract by changing the subject to parrot abuse at NuLiebore which though they deserve has nothing to do with the hypocrisy and contradiction in the poster Anonymous highlighted
smearing is smearing. you are dozy enough to do it too but you’re not even ‘self-aware’ enough to realise what a hypocritical c’unt it makes you
weak, weak stuff if the best you can do is wail, anyone who questions me is NuLiebore. add paranoia to that ever growing list of symptoms cripple
To it must be love. All of new labour hate real men because we will not obey and we will fight back and destroy them.Also we love real women and not feminazi ball breaking bitches like Harridan Harmsmen.
Yes! Fark right orf. You slimey Labour git.
That’s hilarious, Unite is in itself a fascist organisation, you keep going left until dissapear up your own backside and come out on the far right.
*sigh. Derek, Derek – when will you ever learn? You can’t bullshit your way out of trouble this time. You’re on the way out (finally!) and you can take your smearing, incompetent, warmongering and hateful far-left, pisspoor party with you.
We’ve had a just about enough Labourist/lefty/moronic hypocrisy, thank you very much. Thirteen years in – TWENTY YEARS OUT! Get over it.
(And who said you could use the internet again?)
ZaNuLiebor – The 3 F’s – Filchers – Felchers and Fascists
Those aren’t limousines. They travel by Bilk Float
well bugger me, another troll stuck in a time warp of hatred, lies and jealously !!
Every time there is an incident in some inner city the Beeb interviews “community leaders” from this community or that community. Have you ever heard them talk to leaders of the “English community”? If not why not?
“leaders of the “English community”? That’s The Socialist Labour Party and they are very good at it. In fact if they shut up and actually did something…………there again, perhaps not!
How long has Toilets been a politician then? Strike me he’d be better thought of doing hen nights as a Dave Spikey lookalike.
A word in your shell #2, if you went to the doctor with some horrible disease would you expect the Doctor to spent his time dwelling on some other condition you didnt have and which had no bearing on your current condition. Would you fuck, so why in Christs name are you prattaling on about a fringe wing of a party who arent even in Government whilst ignoring the very fucktards who are the cause of our current disaterous condition ??? Are you some sort of idiot ?
More to the point, YOU obviously are a fucking idiot…
Fucking delicious!
and the twat was twittering whilst “watching” the game (football is a game of the people it will help your career as a nulab)…
The England fans have shamed us all, Why where the three not booed until they were escorted from the stadium?
England fans always shame you. Fat, bald, and couldn’t fight fucking sleep…
Fucking delicious!
The people’s pastime is angling but you don’t see MPs doing it. Any suggetions why not?
1. Scared of being pushed in the water from behind?
2. Having to carry their own bags and booze?
3. Solitary, quiet occupation so no attention seeking opportunities (other than of 1, of course)
I don’t think you can call whelan, maguire and balls, workers!! Workers are honorable working people. These three men are not.
As for who paid – easy – we did! – balls will claim it on expenses as he does everything else.
Good to hear our workers are kept busy while certain other matters of fiscal probity need attention:
“according to a confidential study”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/recession/6169544/European-Commission-sees-galloping-UK-debt-crisis.html
not very confidential was it? Mind you, nothing we don’t already see on the horizon.
Let them enjoy it while they can. Soon they’ll be hanging upside down from lamp posts in Parliament Square. If only…
Mandleson has called for the Pheonix 5 to apologise and be barred from ever being company directors for all time.
Mandleson had to resign 2 government posts through dodgy dealing and I don’t hear any apology and voluntary barring himself from high office the two faced twat.
Get on this Guido.
Corporate Hospitality?
Which corporation does Balls work for then?
Corporate Hospitality is the polite term for work related bribery.
“Balls,” the word that best and most politely sums up the whole disasterous New Labia project.
“The first stage of Fascism should more properly be called Corporatism because it is the merger of State and corporate power” Benito Mussolini.
Benito Mussolini who was a staunch friend and early ally and ideological muse of a certain Russian named Lenin.
Know your history and it all falls into place.
I think you meant New Labour accept Whoreporate hospitality!
Presumably Balls will have to declare this in the register of interests.
Off topic:
Heard Mandelson on the radio this lunchtime having yet another hissy fit. This time over the MG/Rover whitewash. He likes these fits, is he Minster for them as well?
Banning them from being in Buisness in the Future now that will hurt when you have walked off with 42.Million between you.Wankers.
Will Many and Brown et al be banned from public life after theamount of money they have cost the country.
No I thought no.
“…not only is it wrong to suggest that, I find it deeply offensive…” now remind me who said that ?
He’s simply trying to aim fire at them to avoid anyone thinking it was newlabour’s fault in the first place. He’s a strategist par excellance, the vile scumbag.
That’s about the strength of it. Getting his retaliation in first.
Like his Grandfather, Clem Attlee, a devious snake in the grass and traitor to the core.
Herbert Morrison?
It was someone in government who brokered the deal to sell it to them for £10 in the first place.
What hypocrites they all are.
They’ll never show their faces at the poolside bar again. The servants will have to fetch the drinks
There’ll be no need for drinks as they’re be found floating face down in the pool.
Mandy was on Sky News and BBC saying he was appalled that the four directors are trying to say the MG Rover report is a whitewash. Nowhere does it mention that New Labour successfully bought votes in those marginal constituencies just days before a general election (which they won).
When did ZanuLiebore become our judiciary?
Looks like Lord Maldelbum can add GM Vauxhall to his list of failures soon.
Of course Mandleson is trying to move the news agenda onto those greedy incompetent fucktards ( which they are) however they were only the tools of this useless Government who installed them in the firstplace. Its like fagin rattin on his boys after they get caught up to no good !
gotta hand it to Lord Handlesmen – he’s a smooooth operator
So their pay and pensions were “unreasonable.” They are to be banned from being directors of any other company again.
Sounds like a recipe for banning bankers form obtaining outrageous pay and bonuses. Just ban their remuneration as unreasonable and take their ability to earn even more away by disqualifying them from being in charge of the banks.
No hissy fit for the £16 million spent in fees etc for those investigating the fab four. Double standards I think in this whitewash.
I find Mandlescum’s pay and pension arrangements distinctly unreasonable. Can we ban him too?
Its odd too, that mandlesons job wasn’t advertised like you need to do in business when you employ someone. also; remind him that many people who would like to go into business are banned by default to start with because they may be good at what they do, whether it be cabinet makers, painters or jewelers,,whatever – but are too tied down with rgulations before applying their skills for trade.
Politicians don’t seem to think they need qualifications. We could actually do without them.
Do without politicians, I mean!
NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR THE WORKERS!
RBS thanks UK taxpayer by transferring jobs overseas
http://www.bankingtimes.co.uk/11092009-rbs-thanks-uk-taxpayer-by-transferring-jobs-overseas/
The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is in the midst of another furore, with reports that leaked documents from the bank show UK jobs are being transferred overseas.
What is more, the Government has apparently approved the strategy despite rising unemployment in the UK and the Treasury having risked £20 billion of taxpayer cash shoring up the ailing group.
According to a report in The Scotsman, RBS chief executive, Stephen Hester, told staff in Singapore earlier this year that one of the group’s cost-cutting strategies was to continue to reduce jobs in Europe and the UK, relocating them in cheaper locations, such as India.
Mr Hester apparently also revealed that the strategy had the support of “major shareholders”…………………..
Don’t worry, the way the pound will fall (i.e. a pay cut for the U.K WRT the rest of the world) we’ll be importing jobs again.
We’ll also be exporting everyone capable of working productively who doesn’t like the idea of living in Stasiland….
Good point AC1. Mind you, all this fits perfectly with the usual methods of Brownian incompetence:
Hester (at Brown and Mandlescum’s direction) transfers all the jobs in RBS to Asia and the pound continues its QE-induced collapse. End result: RBS (i.e. the taxpayer) ends up with a massive ongoing wages bill which has to be paid for in real money such as Singaporean dollars or Indian rupees rather than Gordoom’s devalued pretend pounds.
Sheer Genius!
I, for one, cannot wait until you fuck off…
Fucking delicious!
Makes all those union dues worth paying.
Mandelson must have made the quote of the decade to-day – “I think it must be breathtaking that these four Phoenix Directors have shown the brass-necked nerve…….” Coming from someome who has never been short of “the brass-necked nerve” that is surely a case of “the pot calling the kettle black”(not edited yet by the PC Brigade)
She has a neck for ‘owt but soap.
Sorry I posted this above before I reached this post.

Reply
Probebely went on the spare change left over from rover £16 to establish that they formed a comapany that failed yet enabled them to tske out the cash for pension !
Mandelson says towers and Co should show some humility and never become directors again (wow towers must be crapping himself from barbados )
CW thinks Peter MAndelson should show some humility , appologise for letting Labour socialist fail again , millions of people are worse off due to the recession turboed up by wonk treasury policy the origins of which were when Gordon was chancellor
Mandelscum trying to punish someone else for doing more or less what he’s been doing?! He must be jealous. More likely trying to cover up the government’s incompetence in allowing the fiasco to happen in the first place. Where is Mr. Byers? He was mainly responsible for the disaster wasn’t he? Bet he’s not living on the dole. Lurking about trying to keep his head down like the vile Mr.McNulty.
So Mandelson is upset because the management of a company pissed away all the cash, ran up massive debts, b*nkrupted the company, fucked over the employees but made sure their own pensions were safe.
The irony.
Mandelson criticising Phoenix four “feathered their own nests” during their time in charge.
Pot Kettle etc
How does the song go?
‘Before you criticise me
take a look at yourself’
And Mandelson criticising their behaviour, well what does he get up to during Brazilian discussions?
And while they are trying to shift the focus from their own stupidity onto the Phoenix Four, would Mandelslime care to tell me when the taxpayer might see the return of the £6.3m this bunch of incompetents lamely handed over to the company (let’s face it, it could never have been regarded as a loan) just as Rover was disappearing down the plug hole??
No, of course not. By the profligate standards of this wretched and loathsome government, this was just a drop in the ocean. I’ll just add it to the charge sheet for reading out in May of next year – it’s a bloody long one and I don’t expect to reach the end of it before I keel over from exhaustion.
And now Brown, who clearly has time on his hands whilst saving the world, wants to say sorry for the suicide of some mathematician in the 50s, on the basis that he was prosecuted for being a homo. For pity’s sake! Here we are, drowning in debt, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, our reputation overseas shot to pieces, and this is all the prat can think of doing. Truly, he is a Hoon of the first order.
Am flicking through the report as I have to write a brief news summary.
The clue is at the beginning. The role of Byers and Government in forcing BMW to accept the Phoenix 4 as new owners – as well as forcing BMW to hand over £500m, the factory, all unsold cars and – later – the engine and gearbox factory is unexplored.
Be in no doubt, the Labour government forced the deal. BMW would never have sold it to four brummie idiots, two of whom (Towers and Stephenson) had been sacked by from Rover by BMW a few years before for being useless.
If they were that useless, how come they trousered all that money?
What I want to know is just how the hell anyone can ramp up the cost of a report to £16 million? That is the real scandal. At 800 pages (including no doubt endless preambles, contents, index and lots of cut ‘n paste this works out at £20,000 a page.
Err, 830 pages actually – let’s not under-sell this piece of expensive whitewash. I wonder how much the two authors were paid??
Don’t you think that there should be an accounting section for all the money spent on official reports? That way a penny by penny analysis of the costs will be accountable.
Perhaps, also the report writers should be paid a flat fee to undertake the work required. I agree that the £16 million is a scandal
And don’t forget the £188m spent (so far) on the Bloody Sunday enquiry either. That particular gravy train is still rolling too.
NuLiebour – wasting public money, it’s what we do.
I suppose it was too complicated for the government to put up £2 and have a director on the board when they brokered the £10 deal?
There would have been no question of them effectively interfering with the running of the company with this degree of representation, but they would have been in a position to know what was going on [Note, dear reader, with this crew that is not quite the same thing as knowing what was going on]
Now they’ve spent £16million on a useless historical document.
New labour. Every day and in every way we make an accountant happy.
Don’t you mean “New labour. Every day and in every way we make an accountant AND LAWYER happy.”?
AND CONSULTANT too please?
And a five day organic fruit and veg co-oridinators for transgendered single parent outreach workers too.
And LGBT activists, Gordon’s new mates
#60 Hugh…
Do you mean priveleged “planning” CONSULTANTS for local authorities who also double-act as “lobbying agent” advising on policy with influence over planning applications submitted by their own clients?
Wouldn’t want to name specific names but this seems to apply to a whole raft of potential opportunists. Nathaniel Lichfield, Berwin Leighton Paisner, GVA Grimley, yaddy yaddy yaddy ….
A look at the client lists is revealing Mr. Janus.
Bastards. When are they going to start putting their hands in their pockets?
They only put their hands in their pockets to play with their Ed’s
About May next year…………….. !!
Do you seriously believe things will be any better when Call Me Dave and Sam Cam are running the show? Boy George the wonder kid hasn’t a clue. Most of the shadow Cabinet haven’t a clue.
We are all in for more of the same.
I have no pleasure saying this but in your hearts you know it’s sadly true.
Not until the electorate (who bother to vote) stand up and voice and I mean voice their objections to the self serving parasites will there be change.
In the meantime prepare yourselves for a substantial increase in tax, inflated prices on everything you buy, mass unemployment with the civil unrest it will bring or at very least anti social behaviour, increase in all areas of crime, because I assure you it is coming to your door. And your door and house will decrease in value too as there will be less money around.
Lock in your debts with fixed rates, protect your savings, don’t take on new debt. Remember how it was when you were growing up.
Get real and get real fast.
And back to the thread, how on earth the majority of football fans allow themselves to be fleeced on the ticket price of a game, fleeded on the nylon every changing shirts they buy is beyond me. Lambs to the slaughter.
Very true. Grow your own, make do and mend, use up the left overs, keep chickens, knit, stay at home, as my grandmother used to say ‘Waste not, want not’.
Make do and spend, this lot!
Take, screw and spend actually.
Digg for Victory!
@ 17
You are correct, although I think you paint a rather rosier picture of things to come than will actually happen. Getting a shotgun is probably a good idea.
It’ll be like Zulu they’ll keep coming and coming no matter how many shots you use, best bet is to do a runner out of the country we’re at the point of no return now as Lisbon will get ratified.
It is indeed a beautiful afternoon. Just swapped 20 strawberry runners for 6 raspberry canes with an old boy from Stur when they are in I will relax with a glass or 2 of Blackberry Wine 2007, and then reality slips back in
At least those old enough to remember the last Liebore Government can fall back on old coping strategies, what about the young with wild aspirations learnt from TV and easy money. We rely on foreigners to bring in the harvest, why can’t Uni students do it? That is after all why there is a long summer break, or is that to wage war, can’t remember
Glad I’m not alone
Was planting aquilegias this beautiful afternoon, and tieing and cutting and clipping back. Uni students don’t want to soil their hands.
I’m already stocking up on tins/jars/packets and anything else with a far future use by date. I have an open fireplace with backboiler and live adjacent to a wood. I can collect rainwater run-off from the roof via the gutters. All i need now is an uzi sub-machine gun and plenty of ammo
Another classic from the BBC on tv teletext news,( been taken down since this morning), along the lines that a recent poll shows an increasing number of people no longer believe the man made global warming theory. BBC said: We need the people to come into line with the views of our elected (?) leaders. From memory and not verbatim but another chilling insight into the psyche of Pravda.
Too true! Someone should tell their so-called ‘Environmental Analyst’ (ie global warming hack) who was spouting the usual garbage on the radio this morning.
Balls at the match, I’m surprised that England didn’t conceed large numbers of goals. Perhaps if the crowd had seen him they would have chanted.
“Ed Balls is Trougher, la, la, la.”
“Who ate all the pies? You fat Bastard.”
Followed by: “You’re shit and you know you are.”
Hi everyone, I’m here if needed!
Anyone spotted Dolly Draper recently?
He wasn’t in the family home when Tory Bear delivered Nadine’s writ and besides recent exploits in OK magazine – see
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/sep/05/derek-draper-diary
no-one knows nowt about the cheeky chappie.
Guido – bottle of champers for the first photo of our eminent but elusive psychotherapist?
“I don’t understand: what’s in it for us?”…… tee-shirts all round.
I see above that they think he’s reappeared trying to re-do the “racism” attack.
Can the prize be taken in Cash, or replaced with Aldi special brew?
(PS: I’ve had confirmation that he did spend 3 years on his A-levels)
And according to his own entry in Fiendsreunited 5 years to get a degree – or 4 if he did a sabbatical.
Any news of the additional MA he was getting for the thesis which was being marked several months? All the results should have been out by now
Talking of results what’s the outcome from the BACP’s investigation into complaints about Drapers’ qualifications to practice and his ethics in the light of his emailed defamation of George Osbourne’s wife for being depressed / mentally ill?
http://www.bacp.co.uk/prof_conduct/making_complaint.php
Americans have where’s Wally so why maybe we should have a where’s Dolly?
Seems slightly distasteful to compare screwings, but how much has Mandleson screwed us for over the years compared to what the MG4 have had us for? How much of ‘our’ money was in MG?
In 1998, Mandy didn’t have two beans to rub together and had to borrow £373,000 from Geoffrey Robinson to buy his London home. He certainly did not get all of the £2.5 million to buy his new house in Regent’s Park from his mum’s shares and playing the property market.
When he said “we are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich” he was refering to Reinaldo and himself, not the rest of us.
… and from where, one wonders, did Geoffrey Robinson get the spare £373,000 to pass around?
Geoffrey? Hugely wealthy chap. Wasn’t he “associated with” the winding up of the company of that man down there at number 92? Via that route then facilitated the sale of a property asset to a certain Mr McDoom at an advantageous price I hear.
Property “shortages” well talked up for the next few years; thus enabling the gormless McDoom to hand the said uplifted property onto his missus who remortgaged it to release an enormous wad.
Excellent wheeze but then she blew it all on woolly jumpers.
Or so they say.
This government is completely focused on delivering the three R’s.
Reducation, Reducation, Reducation!
Redaction, Redaction, Redaction !
This is excellent stuff, Guido! There may be those who say this is a personal vendetta and you should give it up. I am not one of them. Please keep exposing Maguire for his fraud and McBride for his horridness for as long as you can.
Out of interest, why does Maguire still have a job? His blog consists of about two sentences on David Cameron’s poshness every few days or so. Why does the Mirror pay him for this?
I thought ‘toilets’ was part complicit in the Nads smear so did he also get an envelope served?
Presuming of course that you get down that low to give it to him in the gutter.
Why is Maguire known as “Toilets” please ? .. Is he a “cottager” or summat ?
I don’t think he was served, Agent 99. Maybe the feeling is that the fewer people in the dock, the better.
In the same way, Alan Sugar has a much better chance of winning if he only slaps a writ on Quentin Letts. I think we should all call Sugar stupid — as he is — and see what happens. As Guido might be able to tell you, bankruptcy isn’t the end of the world.
Mmmmm….could do a ‘ Nuremberg’ of course you would get plenty in then now that would be telly worth watching.
Just as long as everyone could see that we did in fact give them a completly fair and unbiased trial before we took them outside and hung them with piano wire from the nearest lampost. All in the interests of fairness of course.
I think, if you’re going to be hanging folk with piano wire, then I’d say a crane would be better than a lamp post.
Less dwarfism here please, or else you’ll all be …..’what am I supposed to say here? What was it, shot? stabbed, rogered?’
‘Fired, Alan, your’re fired, just say ‘You’re fired’ and point simultain…..at the same time.’
‘Yes. you’re all fired’ I did that well, didn’t I?
‘Yes. Alan, triffic. Now if you could just do it again standing on the chair so we can get you on camera, and point at them, not yourself, then we’ll call it a day.’
Because the Mirror is a shite rag, ‘read’ by monkeys and ‘written’ by shit heads like Maguire.
Maguire plays the Geordie accent card for all its worth…what a bell he is.
He probably reads this site for stories and opinions so, if he’s reading this, he can stick his heed in a bucket of clarts.
I’ll be willing to wager that he was the sort who drank in the Man In the Moon or the Gay Trouper back in the seventies. (Its a Toon thing).
Real men drank in real bars like the Clock, the Newcastle or the Haymarket!
I’ve just realised, upon reflection, that the Trouper and the M I T Moon were both Vaux bars; that would explain everything!
Ah! the seventies. Had a few pints in the Haymarket myself. Stopped going to the Newcastle Arms after I cracked a filling on one of their corned beef and onion sandwiches. Tended to do more drinking at the Crown Posada in those days though, it was handy for my office on the Quayside.
Whelan, Maguire, Balls.
Lock and Load. Switch to “Automatic Fire”.
Light ‘em up.
A friend works in a heavily unionised concern, where 90%+ of staff are in the union and all at the minimum wage.
When they were asked why they refused to join the union, they said: “Every time a union official comes here, they are driving their own new company Jaguar. And your minimum wage salary pays for that!”
That did not go down well…
They aint known for their intelligence public sector workers are they.
I remember it took most of the miners nearly a decade to realise they’d been hoodwinked by Scargill and his bunch of clowns and then what did most of the thick fukkers do? Vote Nu Lab in.
They never learn and get what they deserve.
I’ve still got my job. I made myself Union Leader for life.
Hastings Banda is my hero.
Awwwwwwwwwriiiiiiiiiiiighttttttttt!!!!!!!
Is it true that you were a deep-cover Tory agent all along with a mission to destroy the NUM,Arthur?If so, you succeeded brilliantly.
“Awwwwwwwwwriiiiiiiiiiiighttttttttt!!!!!!!”
brilliant
“I copy that, Banda!”
Old joke for those who recall the Banda copiers!
“Nothing’s to good for the workers”?
Hanging’s too good for this shower of shite.
Come on, pleeeeeease! Hanging? shite?
Do not be too soft on them, as the final days of their odious debauchery comes ever nearer, it is us who will have the last laugh.
I’m not keen on unions but I am keen on the idea of unions.
The ones that we have now have lost their way and are bloated and corrupt and Unite may well be (in my opinion of course) the very worst of the bunch.
Unions are completely irrelevant these days, there are enough laws and employment tribunals in place, to “protect” workers rights as it stands, without them.
The Unions are nothing more than mobsters, self serving and utterly deviod of purpose.
Luckily for them, their members are generally too stupid to realise they are being taken for a ride.
O/T
Brown ‘Seriously Considering’ TV Debate –A Cabinet colleague of Gordon Brown has confirmed the Prime Minister is “seriously considering” taking part in the Sky News TV party leaders’ debate
Dither dither dither……… Have courage man!! LOL
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/PM-Gordon-Brown-Seriously-Considering-Skys-Invitation-To-Take-Part-In-TV-Debate-Between-Leaders/
Anyone seen Gordon recently, or is holed up in the bunker with his demons
chick chick chicken
lay a little egg for me
With our debt, it better be a golden egg
Keeping his head down until the shitstorm over the journalist rescue in Afgahnistan abates.
Courage Brown has passed the buck to Bob Ainsworth, despite the fact that the command to send special forces in could only have come from Brown himself.
Brown is full of ‘seriously considering’, along with ‘possibly’, ‘perhaps’, ‘maybe’ and
‘we’ll review it’. Never any substance behind any of it.
Yeah, there was also some waffle along the lines of “Labour are looking at the format” – ie Brown will do a debate, its just that he wont be there, Mandy will pop along instead to represent the Labour party
looking at the format??? WTF its simple McFuckwit. You sit in the chair we ask the fucking questions and you answer them. (not that you will)
He won’t because “McYellowstain” is a total coward proved by his latest wheeze about the botched rescue attempt…
“It wasnae me….aye tha noo I cannae tell a lie….. its was Aintworthashit’s and Millybonce’s fault as nothings mae fault y’ll understand…aye.. I didnae know anything aboot it”
Height of fuckwittery
Agent 99: I think “looking at the format” is shorthand for “looking at how we can rig the format so that McDoom has some vague chance of not appearing to be a complete and utter lying venal disgusting scumbag”.
A lost cause, I would think.
Don’t forget “calling on”.
The McDoom is always “calling on” so and so to do something. It gives the impression that (a) they are doing something and (b) they have the authority to demand something and (c) that thus something will be done.
The reality is that it is just hollow posturing; but a way of slowly sinking the BBC would be to ban the reporting of anything that simply amounts to the government “calling on” something.
That’ll reduce News 24 to around eight minutes.
I think you will find that McBust will try to place upon the debate such unreasonable conditions that, when rejected, he will then refuse to do it. Either that or he will suddenly find urgent business to attend to in Afghanistan on the very day the debate is due to take place (“Just getting on with the job” of course).
What is there to ‘seriously consider’ here? Has he perhaps looked in his diary to find that he is due to be watching television that evening? He either wants the debate or he doesn’t. Knowing his habit of disappearing when the going gets tough, I’m willing to bet that this just won’t happen. What does he have to gain? Everyone knows he a complete prat, so why set out to prove it?
As Simon Heffer said earlier this week – you know that the government is failing when it can’t even lie convincingly any more. This is failure on a truly grand scale and nothing he does will prevent, I hope, a bloody good thrashing next year.
Hmmm, global warming?
You folks might find this rather interesting ….. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/opinion/alarmists-out-in-cold/story-e6frfifx-1225704688703
Not really. The consensus amongst climatologists is that global warming is real.
There will always be sceptics. Some people still think the world is flat and some think that it was created in 6 days by some deity or other.
they don’t think, they believe.
Climatologists? They’re scientists in the same sense as sociologists are scientists.
[Maureen Lipman]
He gets an -ology and he says he’s failed… you get an -ology you’re a scientist…
What is you point pal?
Yeah. What, exactly, is your point?
Yeah. Spit it out pal.
Our lawyers will be in touch.
you are plainly talking shit there.
Explain yourself. What is unscientific about climatology?
I’d suggest that almost everything that they ever do or learn about is based on real basic sciences. Starting with indisputable physics and chemistry.
Or of course global warming could just be the biggest scam ever designed, in which all the world’s governments are involved and the vast majority of reputable scientists working in the field have fabricated evidence.
All supposedly to extract more taxes from us, when in reality the government doesn’t need an excuse – they can put up taxes whenever they like.
the vast majority of reputable scientists working in the field have fabricated evidence
The vast majority majority of ‘reputable’ scientists in the field are not scientists by any stretch of the definition.
Its mainly because we’re all jealous of americans.
And that none of us in the rest of the world know how to use a themometer.
And commies faggots too.
I happen to know that the “computer models” of the climate will always fail.
Like inflation eats away at purchasing power, error exponentially grows in recursive simulations (like climate models) and over time destroys any signal*.
As an example. If the error in the model per year was only 5% (very optimistic) then a 20 year prediction run would have 35% data and 65% error.
*Unless there’s so much damping that the model isn’t worth anything to start with.
213 jgm2 – Yes natural processes are enormous compared to the stuff that man does, and of course the Sun drives the entire climate at the macro level (and everything else on the planet).
On Earth there are natural processes that absorb vast quantities of CO2 and there are processes that produce vast quantities of CO2. However these processes are more or less in balance. Adding relatively small amounts of CO2 that has been locked out of the cycle for millions of years into the mix may be having a disproportionately large destabilising effect, in much the same way that 1 gram added to one side of a balance with 10kg on each side might have.
We don’t know for certain that man is causing a problem, but there is sufficient evidence to cause concern. If we wait until the issue is beyond doubt it will be too late to do anything about it (if it isn’t already). So to err on the side of caution would be the best bet, surely?
Consensus ? Like hell there is.
Really? Which reputable and independent bodies disagree?
Nigel Farridge and Dr. Geri Halliwell.
“you’re swallowing some rather duff propaganda.”
Indeed you are.
http://www.petitionproject.org/qualifications_of_signers.php
You could also try googling the Manhattan Declaration, or alternatively, the 3000 scientists who are suing Al Gore for fraud regarding AGW.
The consensus is a fiction.
link to a very duff petition posted twice.
So, any names etc. for “Manhattan Declaration”? A conference of politicians not scientists?
Who are these Al gore suers then? Googling that suggests its 30,000. But also that al gore is controlled by lizards.
Whereas when self-proclaimed inventor of the internet Dr. Al Gore supports the cult of global warming we’re all supposed to give a shit?
Anybody who can conjure up the internet with a few strokes of a legislative pen should have no problem outlawing global warming.
“Not really. The consensus amongst climatologists is that global warming is real.”
Actually it is not.
No matter how much vested interests try and fob you off with their consensus BS, the case is far from proven.
Whats more the UK government has made the computer climate change models that the Met Office use to predict the crapulant climate predictions, a state secret, so the data used, cannot be analyised by any independent, outside source.
You assert that there isnt consensus amongst climatologists.
Have you got any sort of link or evidence for that?
if not, you’re swallowing some rather duff propaganda.
Whoops.
http://www.petitionproject.org/qualifications_of_signers.php
The climate may well be changing, it has done that before. The question is, is it a natural phenomenon or is it man made? Lots of scientists have proven the change none have satisfactorily proved it is man made.
There! Yours with a parasol and a fur coat,

The University of Chicago recently conducted a survey of over 3000 climate scientists. 97% of them agreed that global warming is happening and is most likely caused, at least in part, by man’s activities.
As I said, you will always find dissenters, but the overwhelming majority of people working in the field seem to believe that gw is happening. This is also the official position of the leading acadamies of science of almost all developed countries.
What are these ‘vested interests’ and why would this stuff be made up?
I can understand the oil companies arguing against GW, because they want to sell more oil, but who is behind the argument for GW and why? How do they have such a hold over the scientific community and the governments of the developed countries?
Sick boy. Thats the oregon petition and its shit.
I’m qualified enough to sign it. 1000s of people with nothing more than basic science degrees. Doctors, engineers.
81 food scientists? May as well get people with degrees in golf or surfing to sign up.
Groucho. 97% of them agree global warming is occurring at least in part due to man’s activities? If I light my far I have contributed to ‘global warming’ but does it matter compared to the fucking big orange lightbulb in the sky?
Does it fuck.
Does 6 billion of us lighting our farts significantly influence the entire earths ecosystem? Does it fuck.
As for why the GW ‘scientists’ would collude in manufacturing scare stories – simple, for the same reason the yanks and the Labour party went along with a war in Iraq. For the same reason Labour politicians go along with the economic destruction of the UK.
Because that’s what the boss wants. It’s simple job preservation. Don’t stand out. Don’t make waves. Keep your head down. Go along with the ‘consensus’. Don’t ask any ‘difficult’ questions. Keep taking the cash.

The investment bankers really did have a vested interest in talking up the economy, but this is not true for climatolgists. Is it really plausible that they (almost) all got together in a scam to get more grant funding? I doubt it.
Yes, the planet has been much warmer in the distant past. But back then the planet didn’t have to support a population of 6bn+ humans.
The world has not grown warmer since 1998. The theory of climate change that asserts that natural climate change (a warming trend since 1800) has been suspended and replaced by purely anthropogenic climate change, mostly from CO2 emissions, is plainly daft but is sustained by unreasoning faith and financial self-interest. There is nevertheless still room for serious research into the effects of human CO2 production. In 20-30 years time we might have a decent theory. Meanwhile it would obviously be sensible to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, because otherwise they will run out and we will all starve.
1998 was the warmest year on record. 7 of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since then. So it is true to say that 1998′s temperature has not been exceeded, but the ‘drop’ is marginal and any graph of temperature over the past century or so shows a very clear upward trend.
The Athropogenic Branch of Climate Change simply get all data that agrees with their model and ignore the rest as ‘incomplete’ or ‘not as accurate as modern techniques’ although the same disqualifications do not apply to data that agrees with their overall hypthesis.
They then model a curve to fit all the data that already agrees with their hypthesis and then set it running forward. This model, because the input data it is sampled so finely in some places and so coarsely in others very quickly becomes totally unstable and allows them to generate all kinds of hysterical headlines.
If they ran the model backwards and then set out to find data sets or proxy data sets to prove their model going backwards and it actually fit then their forward projection might have some credibility. But that would expose the flaws in their dataset so they simple ‘incorporate’ the ‘new’ information into their model to ‘improve’ the prediction.
Yeah. Right.
The example I give as to how meaningless the climate faith’s model is is the song ‘Happy Birthday’
All together now….
‘Happy Birthday to you’..
How would you model that going forward? Uuuuuuuuuuu?
How about if I give you a bit more data..
‘Happy Birthday to youuuuuuu’.
Fucking easy now innit?
Obviously the next line is ‘Happy Birthday to you’ as well.
Except it aint.
Same with the climate.
There are too many variables. Too many possibilities. Too many interactions. Too much depending on shit we’ve never even thought of.
Broadly the Earth is getting slightly warmer with time at the moment. Can we stop it? No. Is man affecting it to any meaningful extent? No.
Could we stop it even if he were? Possibly. But you wouldn’t like what that would involve. No. Really. You wouldn’t.
That is all ye need to know.
Year Zero would solve climate change problems out. I only had 89% of the population to finish off before it would of worked as well you bastards!!
burn these satanic so called “scientists as the stake
what do they know ?
Bang on Sir WW. 97% of investment bankers thought the boom would last for ever, and they were the experts. The climate models predict the past very accurately, as of course they would, because that is what they were designed to do. They build enormous edifices of speculation on top of very limited and flaky hard data, just as the financial models did.
The reason we need to cut back is resource depletion, not climate change, although even then it’s amazing how often oil and agribusiness can pull rabbits out of hats if there is enough profit in it.
194 Groucho what do you mean by “on record”? Like when elephants and rhinos roamed the UK? It has been much hotter in the past, it was just a long time ago, but short in the context of the overall history of the earth.
Cheryl Smith on Sky saying
Lord Mandelson: Will initiate court proceedings if the Pheonix Four don’t sign a binding agreement. Mandelson tells Sky News he would like the Pheonix Four to voluntary agree to never be directors again.
why on earth would they want to be company directors?
They’ve scammed over £40m and never have to work again!
“why on earth would they want to be company directors?
I don’t believe its about that its about Manglebum making every effort to apportion as much blame on these guys as possible which of course cleverly covers up the governments involvement in this around the time of a GE and the little tricks they got up too in some very marginal seats.
Not saying these 4 are saints by any means I just get sick to the back teeth of this government fucking up or lying and then whitewashing and blaming everyone else.
Don’t know about McDoom going missing anyone seen the Glenrothes voter register …anyone?
Apparently they used ‘evidence eliminators’, I bet they did!
And the banking four, RBS etc, no comment?
They’re being saved for next weeks two minute hate.
Orwell truly was a visionary.
The cheek of these New Labour fascists.
They should be careful – they may set a precedent along their lines of:
“No Rewards For Failure”
We may be clawing back a few New Labour ex-Ministers pensions when we get hold of the reall books for UK PLC.
The Court of Public Opinion wants its pound of Red Flesh.

I’d like Mandy to voluntarily never show his turd covered face on TV again.
So far they have only agreed not to make Nulab look a bunch of twats again.
Oooh! Mandy wants to prevent them pursuing their “trade or profession”. Bit illegal that! Isn’t that why competitors clauses dion’t work in job contracts?
“Will initiate court proceedings if the Pheonix Four don’t sign a binding agreement. ……”
On what grounds precisely – none of the “Phoenix Four” have actually broken any laws – you could say that there is a case against them morally but when did the British Courts take morality into account ?
Is this the same as Hattie the dyke saying “in the court of public opinion?” over Fred the Shred?
Why is it that everything this Government gets involved in turns to rat shit?
Now then thats a little harsh on the Unions, they look after their own too. My other half works in the Education sector (not teaching) and is a member of UNISON, every month an email is sent out by the UNISON rep offering free tickets to sporting venues, nothing spectacular – basketball, ice hockey, rugby league, lesser supported events that want seats filling up – she has never enquired and knew of no one in the workplace who had – so this week she replied to email and called the phone line of the rep to pick some up at my behest – no response to email, phone line dead.
You see they don’t take the piss with your money
England are shit. I should know.
They were in a fixed, weakest group so England and its Scum Army would be sure to qualify, to keep the hoteliers and beer sellers happy.
Croatia are ranked 9th in the world and beat England to qualification in the European qualifiers directly previous Andy.
And you’re so fucking shite at Tennis Yvonne Goolagong could whoop your gay boy jock arse.
That’s Evonne, not Yvonne, Obama. You’re right about her being able to beat Andy Pandy though!
Scotland can’t even win the World Bagpipe Championship now. That really only leaves whisky and haggis.
You missed out the “world cup for claiming benefits”. Scotland takes gold in that.
Arbroath smokies?
Not even bagpiping, if the latest Eye is true.
Evonne(not her sister Yvonne – easy mistake to make given the “shite” education system under Labour where spelling is not a strong point)actually won 14 Grand Slam titles in the 70′s & 80′s. She’d have certainly given you a good work out- Andy- she was one helluva “sheila” in her prime.
What’s your point pal?
The thick bastards in the north will still give votes and money to Liebour and scum like Toenails MaGuire.
Some one please???
Why toenails? Am I being altogether too gormless?
Because he’s so far up Brown’s arse all you can see are his toenails.
I thought it was “Toenails” Robinson .. and “Toilets” Maguire .. “Toenails” I already knew .. but why “Toilets” ??
shite reporteR whoose stories seem to come from the shitter and writes for a crap rag.
The story goes that he was caught hanging around the ladies loos.
I thought it was toilets as that’s where he meets his dates.
Why waste Piano wire and fatten the Chinese who produce it wallets.
Hot poker up the arse or auto de fe should suffice and save the taxpayers a bundle.
Hanging, drawing and quartering should amuse the masses, especially when they rip off his cock and balls and set fire to them before the eyes of the guilty one, who then has his innards hacked out. Executioner was only successful when he could hold up a blood dripping heart to declare: `Behold the beating heart of a traitor.’
Then there’s boiling alive . . . those were the days
Unions ya say??
Good racket!
I should know!
How’s that flyover doing?
is Kevin Maguire a member of the Chutney Club?
I love the way the he claims to be a regular drinker in South Shields. I know the town and its no-nonsense people well and a jumped up ponce like him would not last 5 minutes.
No, he’s just a twat.
SOUTH SHEILDS, JUST LIKE LIVING IN VIZ
Anyway, what are these treasonous international multi millionaire marxists doing at an England Football match?
They hate the English, our culture, our heritage, our history.
Have cheer, they probably spread bet on Croatia to win 2-0.
By the time Ajabeeba finish with the report they probably will have done…

Fucking delicious!
New Labour obviously believes that irony has been abolished in the UK.
The noble queer,spitting venom through his razor sharp lips and injecting
feigned disgust into each and every tremor of vocal emotion,described how shocking it is for people ( like the Phoenix 4 ) to line their own pockets,especially when the funds to do so are derived from a struggling ,bankrupt dource .
He intends to take steps to ensure that such people are prevented by law from participating in any future ,similar opportunity .
What a good idea .
He hasn’t thought this through — another sign that he has lost his grip .
So McBride has got an evening job as a waiter?
Pity, I was hoping he was on the menu.
How many billions have new labour wasted? It truly is amazing – you couldn’t make it up. Mandleson is getting on my nerves – the unelected Lord on bloody everything giving lessons in morality!
New Labour – piss off.
PS – If Mandleson wants ‘ the phoenix 4′ t volunteer never to be directros again, I would be grateful if Brown volunteers never to be PM again and Balls, Mandleson, Harman, Ainsworth, Darlng, Copper etc volunteer never to be MPs again.
Perhaps the British people should bring a “class action” to ensure that no member of the Labour Party holds public office ever again – Let’s face it they’ve wasted more billions of taxpayers money than the Phoenix Four ever have
Brown replies to Sky regarding the proposed debate of party leaders – Much too busy “getting on with the job” to think about it at the present time – will get back to you nearer the time
‘Much too busy getting on with the job’…….is he wearing a pinny?
Coward!
That comment is breathtaking in its sheer brass-necked nerve… Gordon is a “Man of Courage”
Shhhhhhhhhh……… he’s dusting the shelves now….whoops….. nearly knocked over a Meissen plate, …. swinging on the end of a hoover now, …. beats as it sweeps as it cleans……..whistle while you work, (if I can just get my jaw around it)…… ‘I’m really enjoying getting on with the job, this housework lark is great stuff, beats running the country any day of the week’!
Why don’t the newlabour government just make us all guilty at birth? Be so much easier for everybody, and cheaper. Parents can’t possibly be trusted to look after their own children, newlabour says so.
Not only can we not be trusted to look after our own children, we can’t be trusted to ferry our friends’ children to school/scouts/clubs, etc either.
Apparently, we all need a CRB check costing £60. The police will, no doubt, be outside schools and clubs, checking to see whether we are all on the register. There is a £5,000 fine for those not registered.
Money for old rope.
Bas*ards!
whatever happened to ‘innocent until proven guilty?’ – now it is guilty until paid to be innocent !!!!! Shambles – in other news, Broon emerges to issue an apology to someone in the war, Balls etc teach some kids how to snot on their blazers (if my child does that they can pay the dry cleaning) – some scool up north is teaching kids by the medium of dance and Mandy wants the phoenix 4 (sounds like the red hand gang) to stop being so horrible and to voluntary agree not the be directors etc. If they don’t – naughty steps and lights out at 10.
You’ll also get a “free” ID Card ( that must be worn at all times around the neck – failing which a PCSO/Police Officer/Council Official will be able to issue an “on the spot fine” of £30)with every application to register(oops – sorry – that’s given the game away)
The crucial test should not be whether you are unsuitable to care for some ones children, but whether you are more trustworthy than the child’s own parents. If you are then the child is obviously safer with you even if you are a moron.
A properly thought out scheme would entail everybody to be assessed and given an Equalised Average Quasi Parental Rating, [a score to you and me, but we're entering dorkland here].
It should be an offence to transport the children of a higher rated parent than you, but in dorkland everyone will score full marks, rendering the scheme useless.
This will not become apparent until several billion pounds has been spent.
Indeed P2P ratings can’t work in that way in society. Only blank canvasses like the internet are places where it work.
Stalin created a cult of personality in the Soviet Union around both himself and Lenin. Many personality cults in history have been frequently measured and compared to his. Numerous towns, villages and cities were renamed after the Soviet leader (see List of places named after Stalin) and the Stalin Prize and Stalin Peace Prize were named in his honor. He accepted grandiloquent titles (e.g. “Coryphaeus of Science,” “Father of Nations,” “Brilliant Genius of Humanity,” “Great Architect of Communism,” “Gardener of Human Happiness,” and others), and helped rewrite Soviet history to provide himself a more significant role in the revolution. At the same time, according to Khrushchev, he insisted that he be remembered for “the extraordinary modesty characteristic of truly great people.”
Remind you of anyone else???
Mmm…Peter Benjamin Mandelson the Baron Mandelson, Member of Her Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council, First Secretary of State, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, President of the Board of Trade and Lord President of the Council and Gardener of The Uphill maybe?

How about retreating permanently?
you going to be happy if these idiots decide to start stalking you Mr Fawkes ?
Just how arseholes like Charlie wheelan are afforded such influence is quite beyond me. It makes me question the existence of the Almighty when fucktards like him are fetted by the great and the good. Jesus !
Looks like Robert Newton in ‘Treasure Island’. Probably hepatically a dead ringer too.
Because thick northern bastards keep voting for the Liebour party and paying Union subs to fucking Commie wankers. Serves them right.
Oh put a sock in it you boring fanny.
Thats the deluxe model limo – it comes with toilets in.

Politicians and Civil Servants are the REAL scourge of the working classes.
This country is responsible for 2% of global emmisions,of this 2% the biggest constituent is water which represents 98%,logically you are then left with 2% of 2% which are other so called greenhouse gases CO2 represents 0.1% of these other gases so you then have to work out what 0.1% of 2% represents,dont want to get into this too f—— tired and too many noughts.
We are being conned on a grand scale by so called scientists working for the government to their shame.
Ever noticed folks that the buzz word a few years ago was the hole in the ozone layer was getting bigger and that led to the Montreal agreement to make us all change our refridgerant gases,it cost industry an arm and a leg,other countries took no notice and carried on regardless and lo and behold the ozone hole disapeared and is so to this day.
The green idiots needed another ploy and latched on to global warming and the government readily went down this track because they realised there was money in it.
However global warming now appears to have hit the buffers,take note folks you will now hear them talk of climate change not global warming,I wonder why?
On a lighter note if I was that polar bear on the iceberg that they kept showing whenever we had a few days of sunshine I would really be pissed off at having my sleep disturbed.
Make no mistake folks this is about screwing you for more and more tax.
A sobering thought is that even if you believe this climate claptrap,China in one week negates everything that we do,so back to taxes taxes and taxes.
So the world’s governments have got together in a way that they have never done before and concocted this global warming story in order to raise taxes? And of course they have to get almost the entire climate scientific community on board.
Why? They can raise taxes any time they like and for all sorts of reasons that are easier to fabricate than this global conspiracy.
I agree with you – it is a con.
Climate Change is the buzzword of the year. Power (ie., elec, gas, fuel) is something over which the government have control. We already pay huge amounts of taxes on our fuel, and soon I fear, we will be taxed more on the gas and electricity we use, in order to bring us down to what government will say are acceptable levels of use.
Government put out a story last week saying that our energy use would have to reduce by something like 90% by the year 2050. Bearing in mind that our homes, cars, and just about everything else we use is powered, this will be almost impossible to do.
They will tell us that we will have to buy low-emission cars to keep the tax low. I remember when LPG was hailed. My father-in-law paid quite a lot of money to have his car converted because LPG was considerably cheaper than petrol. Not now. LPG is almost as dear – if you can find a garage which sells it. Everyone will have to conform, or they will have to pay more tax.
Why should Britain cut back on its energy use, to enable countries like Russia and China pump out huge amounts of gases from their factories and power stations?
This is another way of taxing us under the guise of energy reduction.
If We All Went Back To The Dark Ages Living In Mud Huts Traveling By Donkey,No Education On Electric Etc Then A 90% Cut Is Achievable No Wonder Brown Loves Afghanistan So Much ! And A Bit Like Scotland !
Well, we have the ‘no education’ bit of your equation already…..
Can you explain how this ‘con’ works?
Are you saying that the governments of the world’s leading nations got together and came up with this scam simply to wring more money from the taxpayer? Why would they do that? They can raise taxes at any time and do not need an excuse. How would they do that? Since when do the different governments agree about anything, never mind a secret plot?
Assuming that this plot was hatched, they then have to get the vast majority of the world’s climate scientists to agree to fabricate evidence. Put their reputations on the line and make stuff up. And nobody – not one person – can ever blow the whistle.
Doesn’t sound very plausible, does it?
I have nothing but contempt for this man who is not Minister enough to be head of Children, Schools and Families! He would not be Minister enough if the 3 subjects were seperated and in any event he has his eye on the Chancellors job as he will have the security of 20 years in opposition in that role!
