Another Blogger, Another Scalp

We are constantly told that this will be the first blogged election* and it will change the electoral dynamic.  Guido suspects that come the general election it will be the local bloggers who make splashes in local campaigns when the election comes.

pizzaToryBear can today claim another scalp for the blogosphere – in a series of stories he targeted a Hamas sympathiser who had somehow managed to get a job in Brent North MP Barry Gardiner’s office.  Gardiner says he “has always been a strong supporter of the State of Israel” and is a former vice chair of Labour Friends of Israel.  Wonder why he dithered for so long over the firing?   Guido took it upon himself to send ToryBear some congratulatory pizza.

*This blog story caused a bit of row during the last election.

          Indeed. So it is now deserving of the sack to be against Zionism, a racist and colonial ideology. Anti-Semitism is bad, but now anti-Zionism is grouped together with it.

          A disturbing day for this country.

          No surprises to Guido cheering it on though. Let’s hope it’s not second rate bloggers they come for next, eh Guido?

No I don’t what I really mean is until the men with the ability to admit that the War in Afghanistan and IRAQ was a monumental fu– up then we will have to wait until hell freezes over, or until we run out of money, Thats now by the way. So really hell don’t have to freeze at all. all this government has to do is keep doing the wrong thing and they will get the wrong result. Simple,s

      great, another palestinian ’sympathiser’ done away with. soon we’ll have a political system just like the american one where reasoned debate of the israel-palestine problem (effecting the safety of my children, incidentally) is so admirably and even-handedly conducted.

        Thank God. That’s the real problem here. It’s just student politics on a slightly larger stage. That’s the one time you can hold stupid views.
        What is it with covering the Middle East and the Irish Economy that makes Guido reach for his rose tinted keyboard?

          Keep playing your roles, proles. Just shout ‘Israel’ or ‘Palestine’, point at somewhere far away, and all your worries about the shit piling up on your own doorstep magically disappears! And you get that essential golden glow of self-righteous superiority to boot.

          Personally, I was taught from an early age to never get involved in other people’s family disputes.

          what is a zionist? hmm…. well, a zionist is a racist, occupying, sexist motherfucker who acts against the interests of the state of Israel: indeed, the warmongering zionists are more of an existential threat to Israel than Iran.
          bush may have given the zionists a green light to commit war crimes but President Obama will not.
          and while we are on the subject why don’t Israel and Iran come to a bi-lateral agreement on nuclear weapons?
          simple, so simple innit.
          and as we can’t afford to waste money on trident maybe we should make that a tri-lateral nuclear disarmamant agreement.
          who said the middle east was an intractible problem?
          easy so easy.
          note to david miliband: pull your fucking finger out of your arsehole you useless fucking c’unt and get the deal going.
          you are willing to deal with utter scum bags so dealing with the Iranians will be a peace of piss. you being on first name terms with the zionists will also help, they think you are a real mensche david.

    Along similar lines, an analyst for Human Rights Watch was recently suspended for collecting Nazi memorabilia. No mention of whether he was collecting e.g. helmets or e.g. pickled earlobes (obviously there is a spectrum of awfulness) but you know.

        It is the wierdest thing alright. You kill 50 million people and you’re a fucking hero. People will proudly wander around wearing a T-shirt with your happy, smiling, long-distance stare without the slightest thought about being kicked to death in the street.

        You kill 40 million people and folk will still wander around the streets with your fucked up visage leering out from their chest and nary a care in the world of getting kicked to death.

        But by Christ, you’d better not start a war killing 55 million people and hope to have folk wandering the street with your face on a T-shirt.

        55 million deaths. The magic number.

          I had Mao down at 40 million I think although many have him in the 70 – 80 million bracket. Stalin was the guy on 50 million although I believe there is some disagreement with that figure on the low side.

          I suppose I could have made the point 40m dead GOOD. &0 million dead GOOD. 55 million dead BAD.

          If you’re going to be in the mass murder business make sure you don’t stop at 55 million. Luckily Gordon has 60 million of us to work with so he could yet get his fucked up face on a T-shirt somewhere.

      Multicultural means everyone gets to have a culture except you.
      Diversity means if you don’t agree with the official BBC-mandated morality of the day you’ll be fired

          Stalin was a socialist. He was a member of the Bolshevik faction of the Socialist Democratic Labour Party as distinct from the Menshevik faction. The Bolsheviks achieved power, forming a separate party and eventually Stalin changed the name of the Bolshevik Part to the Communist Party. He was still a socialist: socialism is not a political party.

          that you don’t know this or think everyone in the world who isn’t of your own personal political stripe to be socialists is simply a result of your own paranoia, misconceptions and desperation to posture using a catch-all phrase that you can’t even use accurately

          We have someone so stupid* they still believe in socialism!

          Face it, Stalin, Lenin and Adolph H were all Socialist (coerced collectivist) who had faith in the “prophet” Marx.

        • 185

          Hitler did indeed kill socialists – those who disagreed with his implementation of socialism; some were rivals in the same camp, but most differences came about because Hitler was a *national* socialist, who wanted to build a unified socialist nation within national boundaries, and his opponents were *international* socialists, who wished to build class unity, across national boundaries, as a precursor to the world socialist state. They were all socialists – they just had different ideas regarding how to get to their end goal. Just like, say, the EU and the USSR.

          Socialists are fucking vermin, no matter what badge they wear. Collectivist hive-mind anti-human scrotes – parasites, borg, dull life-sucking rodents.

          what a monumentally ignorant fuckwit

          nowhere do I ever profess any allegiance to socialists because I have none
          I have allegiance to the facts

          Hitler was a Nazi and a Fascist. FACT.
          Stalin was a Communist. FACT.

          two separate and distinct groups, socialists AND communists were killed or rounded up into concentration camps by a mass-murdering Fascist Nazi scumbag who did the same to jwish people, homosexuals, union workers, gypsies, the disabled and everyone else who opposed him later on.
          FACT.

          That you would actually seek to deny this is the same sort of weaseling made by nauseating hlocaust denying scum

          Anything else is distorting history and p*ssing on the graves of an atrocity for the cheapest and most childish of posturing political reasons

          which is where you come in because you are so partisan and deranged that you think labeling everyone and everything a socialist is not the transparent actions of a cheap posturing hack who doesn’t have the intellect to engage with the facts as they are

          Britain has a Socialist Party. Britain has a Communist Party.
          when they can get votes at all it is in the same minute number or less as the monster raving loony party. they are a dead ideology

    Sir Reginald Titbrain says:

    ….Union Communications Officer Dan Sheldon said that Anti-Racism Officer Joseph Brown’s behaviour during the occupation of the Old Theatre, when Brown referred to having “shot down a Zionist”, was “unacceptable”, “foolish” and “beyond belief”.”

    “He even went so far as to pretend to hold a machine gun and said ‘I loaded the bullets in, aimed, fired, and shot down that Zionist’ (including the motions that go along with all those actions – and a huge smug smile on his face, searching for approval from the group).”

    I doubt if I’ll be able to sleep tonight with this image in mind. Still, he was lucky not to be arrested for possession of an imaginary weapon.

    I was expecting to read a horror story featuring a re-borne Heydrich. What we appear to have is an insensitive twerp not overly keen on Zionists. Nothing wrong with that, is there? It’s not obligatory, is it?

    Of course it may have been an embarrassment to Gardiner, but unless there is more to it this seems the sort of storm teacups were designed for.

We are moving closer to a citizen’s democracy, we now need rid of Labour and we now need some proper libertarian police.

    Plans are being considered which could see people fined up to £500 for failing to recycle food scraps. It could mean a slop bucket – or a kitchen caddy – is issued to every home across the UK.

    ITN News
    “Under the scheme, supported by Environment Secretary Hilary Benn, councils would be able to introduce fines of between £80 and £500. It is up to councils how to bring in the new system, but many will choose to threaten households with fines if they fail to comply.”

          and more importantly than that piffle, think about this you dullard: if people do not enquire about the lives and culture of the gypsies be it even in a humorous way then the culture of the gypsies will die with them.

    Gordon Brown has admitted for the first time that if Labour wins the next election, it will have to make “cuts” to public spending. The Prime Minister has previously avoided using the “c-word”, trying to cast the Tories as the “slash and burn” party.

    During Prime Minister’s Questions in June, Mr Brown said: “The only party that’s proposing a cut in public spending is the Conservative Party.”

    But in a speech to trade unions, he said: “Labour will cut costs, cut inefficiencies, cut unnecessary programmes and cut lower-priority budgets.

          Unfortunately Type 2 of the seventies now form the basis of this abortion of a government: Trotskyites shorn of their beards, dressed up in suits now fucking up the country that gave them a free education.

          Well, that’s certainly an incisive contribution to the political debate.

          By the way, TaT, you’re slipping. You forgot to call either of us a cripple.

          but that is taken for granted engineer.

    Guido,

    Have you wondered if thick as thieves and Phil O’Pastree are working for your competition? That’s if they are not some sad bastard having an imaginary conversation with themselves.

    Either way, the boring, stupid, endless drivel they have/he has come out with here has to be about the worst stuff I’ve ever read on this blog.

    Think I’ll go and see what Iain Dale is up to now.

    that described the place I went too to a T.

    I was type 3 partly because having to pay for it myself (unlike type 2) i could never afford to go to the pub that often.

      now look what you have done engineer, you are attracting all the boring people to this place, you are like some kind of magnet for boredom.
      you will have to bugger off engineer, you are bad for the stats.
      please return to conservativefoam NOW!

    engineer, well done!
    you have won the ‘most fucking boring post of the week’ award.
    very very boring indeed. you boring fucking bastard.
    if you could just tell me the address of the shed you live in and I will send your certificate forthwith.

    So ‘Thick as pigshit’ was a Meeja studies student radical then. Well well well it certainly explains a lot .

“… remember your key attributes: not JFK skipping through the flowers spraying Clinton juice all over everyone. No – the glowering maniac in the boarded-up house who, if we’re lucky, people might just about believe is the only one who can remember where the bank statements are kept. That’s the core strategy.”
