Andrew Sparrow is chasing a rumour that Shriti Vadera, a trusted loyalist Brownie is quitting. HMS Gordon Brown will be like the Marie Celeste at this rate. Although credible rumours abound that Alastair Campbell will be joining the ship for the election campaign. No doubt bringing his moral compass with him…

Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
Words come to mind –
Rats, Ship, sinking -
Sinking or stinking?
Quite
This is all to put pressure on for the leadership contest or Brown to resign and avoid it and it’s not going to stop until he goes.
The polls are a complete Labour wipeout and Brown knew if he couldn’t turn them around this would happen.
The tipping point is approaching.
The tipping point was approaching but the Lib Dems appear to have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.
Or rather that’s the BBC narrative. I suppose they don’t want to go splitting the bedwetter vote.
Quiting tio implement Gordon Brown’s new world order plans in the G20. She will advise the G20 from within the cabinet office on structures need to implement upcoming agreements from Pittsburgh . Question is who in the G20 will listen to this failed government?
“Twats deserting a stinking shit”
So Gordon took an investment banker, made her a Minister, gave her a seat in the House of Lords and now she is implementing the fiscal end of a change from our being a sovereign nation to being consumed by the new world order dictatorship that Brown has his wettest of dreams about. She has not quit labour, she is merely working for them to implement the new world order and all without a single vote being cast in an election!
Are Brown’s labour a party of the people? A party of the working class? A party that helps the poor? A party rooted in democracy?
ARE THEY BOLLOCKS!
It is a party of extremist elitists. A party less democratic than Iran’s ruling party, a party less democratic than Mugabe’s. A party that exclusively serves the wishes of the financial elite and holds the rest of this country in complete contempt.
Labour and the Liberals are anti-British fundamentalist extremists, dedicated to implementing internationalist policies that will remove Britain from the map. We will be broken up and ruled by smaller, powerless regions who can only rubber-stamp the diktats coming from on high.
I am yet to be convinced that the tories are really prepared to do what it takes to stand in the way of the United Kingdom’s eradication as a sovereign political entity.
Elvis Lives!
Return to sender – Live from disgrace-land:
Mr Ned 1.50pm.- Absolutely a first class comment. Well put and I agree, regretfully. Still, one General Election left for a bid on our sovereignty and self rule for us,- the people of the UK.
Speaking as an associate member of the financial elite, I can assure you they do not work for us. Maybe a few super-rich yachtowning tax-dodgers, plus of course the PFI troughers and spivs running the privatised industries and quangos, but not the everyday captains of industry or successful businessmen.
“Quitting for the City”….?
Christ – she’s done the bleedin’ impossible there – made me feel sorry for the folks in the City!
Stinking,simpering,slinking mincing off the stage
Alistair Campbell coming back eh? General Mandelchett must have ordered him into the Bunker.
Capt Brownadder: Captain Campbell. Decided to join us for the last waltz?
Capt Campbell: Hello Brownadder. Yes. Thought I’d join for the big offensive. Smash the Tories, recapture some of the ground we lost in your last relaunch.
Capt Brownadder: Really?
Capt Campbell: No not really. Rather hoped to slink off without being involved at all. Get through the whole embarrassing defeat without having my reputation for brilliant campaigning destroyed. Made a note in my diary on the way over. After the bit about 4 pints with southern comfort chasers and a couple of zombies;washed down with pills. V.Bad.
Note simply says “He’s a bugger”
Capt Brownadder: So you don’t rate our chances very highly then?
Capt Campbell: You’re about as likely to stay in power as Burnley are to win the premiership. Now where’s my legendary mug?
Pte Ballsdrick: Here I am sir.
Capt Campbell sits on an upturned, empty policy crate and begins to sob…..
Brilliant.
Except with this bunch of arseholes
At the going down of the sun we will emphatically NOT remember them. And if a memory does creep, unbidden, across our minds it shall be one of pure unbridled contempt.
Brilliant, indeed, except that the Imperial German Army had machine guns whereas the Cameroons throw wet teddy bears.
You know the really awful thing? This fucking shambling crowd of crooks, liars and incompetants are not even fit to lick the boots of a posse of struck-lucky footlights wallahs *pretending* to be cowards and halfwits fighting alongside lions lead by donkeys…
I would far rather have Baldrick as PM than Brown, even – *even* – Tony Bleeding Robinson who is a labour biff anyway. And once went out with my ex-gf’s mum.
Agree. Tony Bleeding Robinson over Tony Bleeding Heart Blair
Alistair Darling: Good man. Now, The Maximum Imbecile has formulated a brilliant new financial wheeze to ensure final mastery of the economy over the Tories. [they gather around a piechart]
Shrity: Now, would this brilliant plan involve us borrowing or printing hundreds of billions of pounds just to make the civil service payroll sir?
Darling: How can you possibly know that Shrity? It’s classified
information.
Shrity: It’s the same plan that we used last time, and the
seventeen times before that.
Brown: E-E-Exactly! And that is what so brilliant about it! We
will catch the Tories totally off guard! Doing
precisely what we have done eighteen times before is
exactly the last thing they’ll expect us to do this time!
There is however one small problem.
jgm – i think this sums the monocular mentalist of the manse up perfectly:
” Who are these? Why sit they here in twilight?
Wherefore rock they, purgatorial shadows,
Drooping tongues from jays that slob their relish,
Baring teeth that leer like skulls’ teeth wicked?”
but you’re spot on – at the going down of the sun we will try to forget them, though their toxic legacy will follow us for generations.
Yes Balrdrick has actually served on the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party. But I remember no cunning plans from him.
both
But also she is privy to confidential Government policy.
There should be a clause to stop these rats when they jump ship from making a fortune out of their previous government position.
Brown stinks, she stinks, the whole fucking lot stink.
Can you hear it – glug, glug, glug hisssss – as the festering hulk that is the SS Nuliebour slowly dips below the surface to it’s rather fittingly dank watery grave..
Let’s hope that unlike the Mary Rose – no one bothers to even consider raising this pathetic excuse for a governing body from it’s murky depths where slimy sea monsters like Bliar and Broon reside for all eternity.
At least they will Prezza to serve their drinks
“But also she is privy to confidential Government policy. There should be a clause to stop these rats when they jump ship from making a fortune out of their previous government position.”
In 9 months time knowledge of this arsewipe ‘government’s confidential policy will be as valuable commercially as a used piece of McDoom arsewipe!

“The Old Guard Diminished Joey Jones
September 24, 2009 11:35 AM
Gordon Brown has always liked have a tight, trusted team around him, and the departure of Shriti Vadera will be a big blow. An already diminished Brownite old guard has lost a key figure.
People will remember her for getting in hot water over “green shoots of recovery”, but her value as an economic adviser has been immense.
Frequently when in Downing Street for early morning lives I would see her trotting into Number Ten ahead of anyone else, evidently full of beans and appetite for the fray. A formidable woman.”
http://blogs.news.sky.com/boultonandco/Post:17073632-0a00-4cc4-b9e6-1adc2e97d95b
She’s economic advisor to a country in this economic state.
If she didn’t have connections to extorted money she wouldn’t be able to find a job as Mugabe’s advisor.
By all accounts it is she who saved the world, not Gordon.
If she ‘saved the world’ why didn’t she do a better job of ‘saving the world’ by acting about five or six years earlier before we entered a world that needed saving?
Eh?
Saved the world?
My arse.
Obviously not ALL accounts, by my account she, Brown and others fucked up the world with a regulatory induced credit bubble.
Agreed All Accounts. She seems to be like the arsonist who phones the fire brigade. I’m no economic expert but even I had severe misgivings about the level of personal debt this country was in. But no, Brown wittered on about abolishing boom and bust. What a blockhead, it was fuelled by eye watering indebtedness.
Is she the bint off Big Brother who fell out with Jade Goody?
Nah, that one was good looking. This one’s as ugly as sin.
OT, hasn’t Jade Goody bean beatified yet?
Don’t you mean Jane Goodie?
Pope is coming next year. Gordon to stand by the grave, holding Jade’s mum’s hand.
She was the People’s Big Brother Housemate. An inspiration to the TV schedulers and a gift to Max Clifford. A great, dead women and a close personal friend who, on her deathbed, phoned me to say she had always been a Gordon brown supporter. Her struggle with cancer reminds me of my own personnel struggle with the Kirkcaldy waste paper collection authority.It was 1989 and….
Pope looks on, bored, before asking adviser when Obama is coming.
Nothing for Graeme Garden or Tim Brook-Taylor either, but Bill Oddie has an OBE.
So this turns out to be a non story. Not only is she not jumping ship, she is being promoted from cabin boy and presented with the golden rivet
a bit of spin to take the heat off Scotland, Dithering, Nepotism and Hero worshiping St Barack
You got it in one. Except Brown’s spinners are cack handed these days. Guido fell for it though.
Don’t know about the Golden Rivet SASGNO, she will almost certainly “step ashore dry shod” when the SS New Labour sinks without trace next year. There’ll be no treading water in the flotsam and oil slick for her.
I suspect she has “numero uno” syndrome. A nice well paid billet in the city. She’ll also need all of her upper body strength when it comes to pulling the ladder up.
Is there actually anyone who has been elected by the proles in Gordon’s inner sanctum?
Pravda says:
“She will focus on the (G20) institutions needed to implement the “framework of sustainable and balanced growth”
Blumpkin says:
“She will focus on the G20 institutions where Gordon can earn a bit of post general election cash”.
Broon said he was “delighted” she had accepted his invitation to prepare a nice comfy quango future…
Taking a woman to see the ‘golden rivet’ is a quaint nautical term for bending her over a nearby table for a rogering – if you get my drift.
Maybe you have made more sense than you intended!
I knew what I was saying Mad Jock McMad. I was thinking more of the homosexual connotation though, which seems more apt when Gordon is involved.
Ahh the Golden Rivet. I remember it well. “Look down there” they would say, “that’s the Golden Rivet, the last and ceremonial rivet that is put in the ship before she is launched”. And when they bend over to look………..!
I once heard a young deckie tell the other lads to, “get stuffed, this ship’s welded”. That lad deserved to go far.
I would add “Brown” to your comment otherwise spot on.
Our gain, G20′s loss.
We didn’t know there was an ‘r’ in her first name.
Another one bites the dust! How many more will go before Broon realises that he should go too?
All of them. He’s so thick-skinned, he won’t realise until he’s completely on his own – with nis Nokia.
…and no-one to throw it at!
He’s getting on with the jobbie. I read a crappy bit in the metro this morning and the numbnuts couldn’t give a toss about Blighty – he thinks he can beat us into submission; he’s a ferkin’ odious, vain, pathetic, deviant, disgraceful nutter. He’s like Hugo Chavez but without the oil. Err… guess you all knew that..err…soz. I’ll have a cup of tea.
When someone gets elected a bit of magic happens: they (if not all, the vast majority) think they become God’s gift to the electorate. They’ve won, haven’t they, in a public run off: ‘Look at me, I’m wonderful, shoobie doo ahh’ sort of thing.
So that is why Brown, and all the other incompetent troughers, won’t resign – they are indispensable, you see. Not only that but their whinge for more pay if they are not allowed to trough is based on their view that we will not get MPs of comparable quality in the future if we do not pay them more.
Appointed, not elected.
NewLabour, it’s what we do…
Except that Brown’s never been elected…Not even by his own party.
They will all be gone soon enough. But our hero, Gordon Brown, able seaman and compass arbiter extraordinaire, will remain at the head, as any famed and internationally renowned leader should to carefully and diligently run the good ship UK 1 into the ground, before he is attacked, bound and gagged, then carried away to be taken apart limb by limb by those remaining alive in his country of abode….courage and strength his two admiable qualities will be of little use to him as his embers raise into the dewy moonlight sky ……
‘courage and strength his admirable qualities’?
Conspicuous qualities perhaps. Conspicuous by their absense.
Ahh, but the strawberries that’s… that’s where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with… geometric logic… that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I’d have produced that key if they hadn’t of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers…
Wouldn’t like to say here name while pissed.
You mean: ‘the girl from the Brown stuff’?
The timing would seem a little odd, given she is currently at Brown’s side at the UN.
Doesn’t she work for Mandelson? It may have come from him.
I wonder if she has been told that she has been resigned yet?
Is this another big money signing at Eastlands?
Bet the grannies will want to buy the shirts.
Thought the transfer window was closed
chase me…
please, please let me talk to you, just one photo next to you, i think this is my moment in history, the moment for progressives… just one photo, one real press conference, let me get some of the star dust, need the clebrity factor… please – i saved the world
It’s for me mum. Just one photo. For me mum. Not my autobiography.
Just write ‘To the best British Prime Minister ever’. For me mum. It’ll make her so happy.
Barack took the snap of Tone out of his wallet, signed it with a flourish, and passed it to the hapless ex-Chancellor.
Are we witnessing rats leaving a stinking shit?
Just moving the deck chairs
There are very shortly going to be too many ex Government people chasing too few jobs.
The sensible ones are looking after themselves.

Baroness Shriti Vadera
Minister for Economic Competitiveness, Small Business and Enterprise (jointly with Cabinet Office)
Portfolio
Responsible for competitiveness, enterprise, growth and business investment, small business, general oversight of Shareholder Executive and its portfolios, Business Council for Britain and the Business Environment Unit.
she was created a life peer on 11 July 2007
she really is a nasty piece of work
arrogant, a bully, thin-skinned, pompous
basically, a massive twat
that’s why she got on in the Brown government……. who the fuck wants her then?
No wonder Brown picked her, then, just like himself and Balls.
Not exactly Shriti Politti then?
She’ll tick a couple of boxes on a few companies executive boards.
Set up a share account now. Watch her like a hawk. The second some idiot Chairman seeks to ‘balance’ his Non-Executive Directors with a bit of ‘diversity’ then buy a single share and start sending in mail. Mob the AGM’s of these boards until these worthless fuckers get the message.
Fuck off. You’re shit. You’re not wanted.
This from the shower of sh11te who have done more to damage small business than anyone since William the Conqueror !
A failure then, wouldn’t you say?
Depends what you mean by failure.
If our trusted government were William Tell and the country were the little boy with the apple on his head, the target would not be the apple.
You’re just asking for that Russian YOUTube clip aren’t you?
The genie will oblige
Only one of them went through?
The pound is diving
what’s spooked it?
what’s spooked it?
Broons antics-what else??
Mervyn king. Saying stuff “a low pound is good for exports” or suchlike.
Of course thats true, and its already low.
Markets respond by being reminded of the bleeding obvious.
Very bad for imports though.
A falling pound is a pay cut for everyone in the UK.
Food imports 20% more expensive, and rising, who will send us food parcels?
Is why I favour farmland over gold.
But Anti, I read on the BBC that the falling pound would make us all richer?
Mr. One
Surely farmland values depend to some extent on how much the EU is handing over to farmland, and would go down in value if farmers don’t get the CAP handouts.
Perhaps you should have bought some French farmland. The day before Northern Rock went titsup.
“Read On the BBC” should be enough of a hint as to it’s accuracy.
I read about Global Warming there too… How’s the weather in Italy this week?
“A falling pound is a pay cut for everyone in the UK.”
Oh, I dunno…. I’m being paid in Euros at the moment, so I’m not going to grumble. Mind you, I’m not exactly in the UK that much so… out of Brown’s Britain as well. Bit of a bonus…… for now.
You can at least live on farmland regardless of value.
1.617 @ 11.46
sub 1.10 vs euro
From what I understand, Merv the Swerve is, once again, considering negative interest rates.
Oh.. and the economy’s f*cked, too.
He does look exactly like Penfold from Danger Mouse, don’t you think?

Standard and Poors already have the UK on negative watch and are rumoured to be downgrading UK Government debt in the next two weeks. Darling still has the printing presses running at full tilt while the US are suggesting a pause in Quantitative Easing (QE).

“Oh shrit”
Brown is going to be coming back to an empty Downing Street.
Damn shame. Maybe the policeman on the door can be pursuaded not to let him in when he gets back?
Well, empty except for his loyal Attorney General.
Is the City in desperate need of ‘Total Cows’ at the moment?
If so I’ll get some of my female relations to brush up their CV’s and pimp them out.
thanks for the chuckle.
you must be related to Ernst Blofeld.
Stavros Blofeld, actually.
A mini re-shuffle was promised shortly
Just what we need: another re-launch. Only the BBC will be impressed.
Notes for news bulletin and interviews:
This re-launch will mean the pressure is on David Cameron (who went to Eton) to respond. Where are his policies? Will he re-shuffle? Has he really changed the Tories or are they the same underneath? They used to be right-wing and we can’t have that today can we? De-toxify the brand. Same old Tories? Writes itself really, thank you for the huge salry and penion
Lets hope it works out right this time – for Mandy. Think he was a tad disappointed with the last one. Poor lamb
Shuffle the fecking cards off the deck of the Titanic methinks is required!!
Really? Since this is the “government of all the talents”, then by definition, any reshuffle will be less talented.
If only someone from the pathetic lobby would have the balls to say something similar…..
Bought an air rifle the other day. Told Mrs Dossier that I wanted the kids to know how to aim and shoot properly – a skill that never goes out of fashion.
Whilst I applaud your foresight, any future conflict involving civilians will most likely be close-quarters. A rifle will be of little use then. Consider a shotgun; legally obtainable, cheap, reliable. Lethal at up to 70 yds, able to hit more than one target at once. The noise is usually enough to deter all but the most determined attacker.
Not much good when the opposition has body armour though.
That why some gifted soul invented the “ringer”
Ringer? Wossat?
you mean sabots?
@254
At short range it will still drop an opponent like a bag of potatoes, armoured or not. Body army doesn’t protect the arms or legs either, and a number 7 at less than 10 metres will amputate. If you know the right people, you could get hold of catridges that will pierce armour. If you are trying to prevent Government forces from entering your premises, you will just have to accept that the best you can hope for is to take a few with you. If they are just an angry mob, the 12 bore rules.
I’m surprised you aren’t recommending a two handed axe or the like.
Local plod visited Costa Mansions, on the pretext there had been a report of an affray here. Bit hard to cause an Affray when you’re sitting at home watching Top Gear. The new air rifle was still sitting in its carry case when they called.
Apparently one John Knuckle is promoted to Cabinet, as is a certain Sarah Five, making this already Brown’s second Five-Knuckle shuffle of the day.
Soon the rocking horse will be leaving.
Did it leave behind any dung?
Fair dos – Why wait until the election when the Chicken Run has become a mass exodus ?
Beat the rush – escape now..
I’ll just get my coat then I’m off … suckers !!!
Isn’t Brown getting rid of the wrong Lady – it was meant to be Scotland wasn’t it?
Now we know what Bliar meant by Lords reforms – they all seem to be Liebour-luvvie ethnic minority wimmin’ these days…
or Gay
All look the same to me…
See ya Shriek, don’t let that Nokia hit you in the head on the way out.
I’ve actually been asked by my best friend Gordon – who saved the world twice – to go sort those Banking Bastards though the G20
I can’t fucking wait to get my hands ’round the necks of those twats – I’ll sort em alright – just give me three of them alone in the same room – I give them shit – just you wait and see
ps
my other option was to join the BBC as a Newsreader over 50 – I told them to fuck off – the cheek bastards
Perhaps she can sell more government assets at rock bottom prices…………..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_%28finance%29
Find out who she’s “working” for and use the above link to make money on the news.
Shriti for EU Commissioner
Is there not a law that stops a Cabinet Minister or someone in her position from taking a position in a company, where their ministerial duties and responsibilities could be in conflict.
Therefore, she should not be allowed to join any financial institution for three years, because she knows exactly what is going on. This is a major advantage, if you want to have the inside knowledge of Fkd up Britain.
For your guide I have heard that she is going to be head of UKFI
Interesting rumour, given that the previous head of UKFI quit last month.
As you say there are rules about moving from public to private sectors, but is UKFI not just a fucking big quango rather than a private job??
Steve, The rumour, that i was told also points out that as part of her brief as Head of UKFI she will also be given the chairmanship of the ‘good bank’ part of Northern Rock.
Was to be announced in three weeks.
Chairmanship?
That’s a pointless sinecure position. Surely an economic titam like Shritty would be CEO?
I think its all within “their” rules. Plus she will still have her nose in the House of Tossers trough.
Yes, but if she searches now, she can resign and directly after the election take up the position
I presume she can be kept on as a consultant which doesn’t need declaring
Camerons first move should be to denationalise* UKFI and the board elected by shareholders. Fuck ALL the parasites, like they’ve fucked us.
I want a VENDETTA on Labour.
*Every UK citizen given 100 shares.
It’s the least they can do, given the economic mess Gordon created has cost each taxpaying individual thousands.
But I don’t suppose we’ll see a brass razoo. We never pay less, always more. Doesn’t matter who’s in power.
I want a VENDETTA on Labour. Every UK citizen given 100 shares.”
Yeah and like in Russia, no one will want them. Shiti will probably buy them all up and own all of what is left of UK Plc completely!
No Anti, Every UK taxpayer given 100 shares.
Even better, each NET UK taxpayer.
That would exclude all but 60,000 Scots, though?
being placed ahead of the GE next year. Got to have our puppets in place you know
The parallels with the dying days of the Bush Administration are interesting(remember he too had an incompetent as AG – but at least he was forced out). I seem to remember lots of stories of Republicans trying to get jobs in Government Departments knowing that they were going to get fired when McCain chose that banshee for VP, and Omaha’s win was assured.
I wonder if we have had our Palin moment yet.
NuLab revolving door scam. By the summer, every single one of the twats will be on a ministerial pension.
Harold Wilson did the same. Its in their DNA.
Lady Shrill is yet another over promoted quota filler who’s achievements in public “service” do not match her actual contribution.
Imagine all the ammo the B_N_P have been given by Labours insistence of promoting skin colour over talent.
Lady Shrill is an abject bully – a Brownite Gestapo who loves lording / ladying it over the little people.
Another rat abandons SS Browntanic
As long as she doesn’t start queening it over us little people!
With the drop in the pound it must be a challenging to pay for daily silk knickers on a government salary
@32 that is the rumour now on lobbydog
heaven help us
Had a shufti at this site.
Looks quite well informed.

Sir Reg
Are you really suggesting she is to head up the Euro gravy train and fuck up the european economy?
Classic.
The etiquette of quitting ‘shitties’ is to leave the place in a similar condition that the present user would like to encounter on his/her first visit.
Pity the janitor’s abroad stalking Obama. He managed to catch his quarry unawares in a kitchen – I heard.
Hopefully this incident will not spark off another spate of Brown-on-Brown crime.
Of course Bobby Kennedy had an unpleasant meeting in a hotel kitchen once…
Please Please Alistair Campbell join Browns sinking ship. Then he can share the failure.
Has Baroness Trafficker resigned yet?
Nope. She’s hanging on by her fingernails.
Baroness Gangmaster to you sonny.
British jobs for Tongan people!!
It’s been like the second book of the Old Testament with this lot this year. Keep it up, chaps!
If a government minister resigns to go to another position, does he/she still get their severance package of a year’s salary?
Just interested.
Matthew Amraliwala on BBC News has just read out a newsflash from No 10 saying Shritti Vadera’s still working for the government: ‘AS WE SPEAK’…
Departure imminent?
and the confrence hasnt even started yet
This is just the appetisers for the plotting.
It’s going to get far worse for Brown.
They’re having it in the kitchen this year. Save costs.
‘Mary Celeste’, please, not ‘Marie Celeste’. The Marie Celeste features in a story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based on the story of the real Mary Celeste.
AND she’s also a porn star notable for her use of implements usually grown in an allotment – you know,the place where the yobs cannot be hurt when they smash them up,so no barbed wire is allowed…..
I don’t believe this. This woman’s only talent is that she has been sucking up to Broon from an early stage; apart from that, she is roundly detested by everyone who has dealings with her. Who would recruit someone whose only asset has a shelf-life of eight months at most ?
Nasty piece of work – contemptuous of shareholders of Railtrack in particular.
Remember this from the Times :-From: Shriti Vadera
July 31, 2001
Can we engineer the solution through insolvency — finding the balance between not having triggered it and therefore avoid compensation of Human Rights Act but enough to be seen to have acted decisively rather than reacting to a failed privatisation that we refused to see and deal with earlier.
Widely known reputation as a total business bitch, made worse by hanging around broonshit
Ah yes. A few grannies might lose their blouses.
Don’t worry luv. Another few months and a few Labour MPs might lose their blouses too.
Is this self parody from the spinmeister general, he even says pot cattle black himself… could not stop laughing reading this recent New Statesman article:
“A former spin doctor, Cameron will have been happy with the outcome. Leading BBC bulletins, not bad print coverage, a bit sniffy in places, but hey, all things considered . . .All things considered, it was just the latest evidence of media double standards towards the two main party leaders. For Gordon Brown, any excuse for any abuse will do. For Cameron, “easy ride” does not begin to describe it.”
http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2009/09/labour-party-cameron-media
Presumably he does not watch the bbc with all their left leaning stuff? And he wants the reader to pity labour and brown in particular!
he’s such a bitter bitter man.
Scroll down to the comment by terence patrick hewitt.
No, not me – but I wish it was
Sorry, my 92 unclear – refers to the link in post 69
Nice one.
The other side of the coin from Leninslime:-
“The Labour government remains a superior option to the Tories but it needs credible policies to meet the huge challenges of the world”
No, come on now missus, titter ye not. Hear the man out:
http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2009/09/livingstone-labour-tories
You must read the complete article then you can laugh. Leninslime seems to have airbrushed out 13 years of New Labour’s “credible policies” – the ones that have brought us to the brink of destruction and despair.
What’s Leninspart doing these days, apart from making Boris look good by comparison?
She’s doing what anybody in the City does when they finally realise their company is heading down the shitter. She’s getting her CV out early. It’s only the utter fuckwits or time-servers who hang around for the compulsary redundancy hand-out.
I wouldn’t have thought a CV that lists ‘Served on the most financially incompetent government in UK history’ would open too many doors but I don’t doubt one or two folk might give her an interview just for the pleasure of sending her a rejection letter. And I’d pay good money to hand-deliver it.
Blair didn’t too bad, did he. ‘Led the most financially incompetent government in UK history’ provides a half million pound salary (plus guaranteed bonus, no doubt) for serving one day a month. At the biggest bank in the world!
That’s class for ya’.
Add to that the fact he bought his next position with our EU rebate.
Campbell is only getting himself into a position that helps him to another bookdeal, explaining he knew all along that it would be a tough battle in case the labour election defeat is truly huge, or saying he helped to squeeze out a hung parliament.
That hung parliament might come about (mind you conservs) if the libdems fall for the alternative vote referendum trick labour is contemplating and thanks to a helpful tailwind from postal votes for labour.
I understand that Gordon Brown has asked Hamid Karzai to oversee the postal voting at our next election.
This is a reciprocal arrangement as I understand that the individual overseeing the Glenrothes bi-election assisted at the recent Afghan election.
Alternative vote referendum being promised by Labour?
Surely the fucking idiots aren’t going to fall for that one twice in 12 years?
How did the last PR referendum go? The one promised in the 1997 manifesto?
How fucking stupid would you have to be to fall for that one twice?
Does the name Nick Clegg answer your last question?
“Campbell is only getting himself into a position that helps him to another bookdeal, explaining he knew all along that it would be a tough battle in case the labour election defeat is truly huge, or saying he helped to squeeze out a hung parliament. “
I thought that McDoom was squeezing out this hung parliament. All because of his prolapsed rectum!
Here we go again. Campbell is only 45 minutes away from another taxpayer-paid freebie. Someone came up with that one and no-one believes Bliar.
The Old/New/Refreshed/Fiction/whatever Labour manifesto must need sexing up.
Never heard of her, but Campbell getting on board the Browndown Cruise will not be good for Brown, none of us have forgotten what Campbell did around the time of the invasion of Iraq and the Dr Kelly saga. Brown needs Campbell like a “hole in the head”!
hopefully a nice round hole with the smoke still coming out of it
That’s a bit shitty of him abandonment in his hour of need!
Matthew M now saying Vadera IS expected to leave the government… but not to go to the city… to some ‘public role’? Surely not to the Beeb! No that’s pure fantasy… that last bit
Selling the Big Issue?
Attorney General?…….. that would be a laugh.
I have heard from my sauces (HP/Brown yuk/Tomato) that she is leaving to head up the Traffic Wardens Co-operative (Neasden Chapter) – she sees this as a step up in her career.
On the BBC as a presenter of Gardener’s World. She’s apparently an expert at spotting green shoots.
They’ll all have to be in ‘public roles’ no fucker who was spending his own money would touch ‘em.
With luck it’ll be a public role targetted on Day One by Cameron.
Fuck luck. Make sure he targets the fuckers.
FSA? That tit Adair Turner needs to go – but can’t see that she would be better.
So if it is to UKFI, Downing Street will spin it as all amicable, planned, and good for the country etc.
It is now official.
Nearly – Pravda reporting it here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8272623.stm
Going to take up a “Public role” instead ? FFS
New face at the FSA to act as embedded barrier/saboteur to a new administration’s economic policies perhaps ?
“Some sort of public role”?
That covers a multitude of sins, doesn’t it.
If it is the G20 as head of the secretariat then McDoom is looking to bankrupt the world economy too
I prefer the term “extortion funded” over “public sector”, it’s more accurate.
it was a typing error and should have read some kind of pubic role – lap dancing – £20 extra for green shoots behind the curtain
She’s out in the States with the PM… Are they going to run away together?
Keep your enemies close they say
If she is out there with him, why would she drop this now?
If she wanted to hurt him, she would want to do it in person under the glare of the uk media. It will be old news when she gets back, and why risk the nokia?
I think someone else has dropped this into the news-stream to hurt them both.
Seth: ‘why drop this now?’
Perchance the good lady was so appalled by the frenzied toadying to President Omaha and the obvious contempt with which Browngabe was treated that she realised the game was up.
Having a nice little sinecure lined up elsewhere doubtless sweetened the bitter pill a tad.
Not that Campbell brings any baggage with him! So during the election we will be constantly reminded of Bliar and the dodgy dossier. They can’t help themselves, is it possible to find any credible person in the Labour party who does not have a sizable lump of shit attached to them? I won’t hold my breathe waiting for a nomination.
As she can barely write English, and has been party to the huge mess we have got in since 1999/2001 and this administration is more than likely to be toast in less than a year: Who in the private sector would want her? So most likely to be a quango. Lets us hope Cameron has the bottle to savage (copyright N Clegg) 90% of them, especially any peopled by Browns departed toadies.
Yeah, she’s the type of wimmin to head up another nose-poking, finger wagging, foot in the door, do-as-we-tell-you-or-we’ll-break-your-door-down quango. Just what we need here. More officious little lefties squandering our taxes on telling us how to live our lives and setting up a suffocating web of regulations.
Mr Cameron, please, once you’ve defeated front man jumping-bean Brown and his inane Marxist junta you will have to tackle the HUGE unelected, regulation armed, lefto-fascist infrastructure that is crushing the heart and soul of England wherever it lurks – in quangos, the civil service, the police, education and local government. If you don’t it will ultimately destroy you – and us.
She will head up the new Office for the Eradication of Fun, as part of Gordon’s Depleasurisation Laws.
90% WTF ! 100%
Who in the private sector would want her?
Consider: banksters make money (out of thin air), politicians make laws and rules (out of hot air). Sometimes it would convenience the banksters if they could make laws and rules, eg repealing Glass-Steagal. Sometimes it would convenience the politicians if they could make money. Convenient for a bankster to have a tame politician around, eg B’liar. Barring that, someone as well connected. Are you getting the picture?
Of course, right now she could just be a pig in a poke. Her upcoming performance will be under scrutiny.
…savage…. PARTICULARLY indeed obligatorily, all those peopled by Browns departed toadies
Take a step back and survey the scene today – there is no doubt that it is all unraveling for Brown – support being withdrawn,rats leaving the ship,the realisation that Labour could PERHAPS win the election if Brown is ousted now (a view of desperate Labour people but still an understandable one).
Could it be that within the next month,Brown is out?
Could it be that within the next month,Brown is out?
I don’t believe so. My inside informant advises that his family is lobbying hard for him to keep the job – expect another compelling performance from Sarah at the conference.
The primary reason, so I understand it, is that the family have no desire whatsoever to spend more time with him.
I suggest Gleg makes it plain that he will replace her as EU commissioner when he is PM.
Get out of the EU. They can keep her as commissioner if they want.
Gleg?
Nick Gleg?
Will she be on a good bonus.
SKY are saying she is going to work for the G20.
UK industry is increasingly invoicing exports in Euros becuase we are so heavily reliant on importing raw material
maybe only public servants will end up being paid in GBP?
Maybe only public servants will end up getting paid.
Gordon finishes his mission shortly and will stand down on health grounds. When the penny finally drops with all you suckers and you see what we have done, it will be too late……….. Ha
Dear Antonia,
May be she’s got Scotland-style cleaner probs? Best go now before someone prints it.
You say Alastair Campbell is joining up for the election campaign. Is this the same AC who described Brown as “psychologically flawed”? Shouldn’t be too difficult to rubbish any input from him.
Yep that’s the one.
Alastair ‘Thirsty’ Campbell?
Two words for you pal.
David. Kelly.
Bottoms up.
Burnley and plagiarised student thesis also come to mind.
Life feels like a Month Python mash up of Animal Farm, 1984, V for Vendetta and Downfall.
Is it just me?
No.
MOre like “Dark Star” with Gordo starring as the bomb.
Don’t forget Brazil (Gilliam film), and no its not just you.
It all started in Brazil.
Thats superb I was worried Campbell wouldnt be in the loop for the election campaign.
The country must hear his magnificent input with regards how to run Government.
Bullying heroic civil servants to their death, lying, smearing opponents, yes Labour will be much stronger with Campbell involved.
That Gilligan chap who did for Ken Livingston has a bit of history there too. A score to settle you might say.
That’s the same Gilligan chap who started the “45 minutes” saga over the Iraq War which led to the death of Dr Kelly, the whitewash of the Hutton report and his BBC bosses having to resign…
I can see why he might bear a small grudge against Mr Campbell….
Campbell? What the ex-pornographer and ex-croupier? Just what Brown needs to put some lead in his pencil.
Hard drinking, pornographer with a sense of humour. Sounds an OK kinda guy to me
Woof, woof!

FF a few months to a warm afternoon in Hell:
Lady Vader:
“I’ve been waiting for you, Gor-don. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now ‘I’ am the master.
Gor-don:
“F..f..forgive me! The DeluForce can have a strong influence on the weak-minded. “
She’s going to work for the G20
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/blog/2009/sep/24/lady-vadera-may-quit
I’ve actually been asked by my best friend Gordon – who saved the world twice – to go sort those Banking Bastards though the G20
I can’t fucking wait to get my hands ’round the necks of those twats – I’ll sort em alright – just give me three of them alone in the same room – I give them shit – just you wait and see
ps
my other option was to join the BBC as a Newsreader over 50 – I told them to fuck off – the cheek bastards
He’s got that strange cranial look about him.
Black dog possibly returning with a vengeance.

PLease “Social Welfare” is code for “bribing failures to vote Labour”.
Pound off 1% against euro and dollar today – now 1.09 euro, 1.61 dollars
Is Brown going to end up the only gay in the political village?
I doubt it, they’re everywhere.
at 12: 49pm BBC website reads:
‘Baroness Vadera is stepping down as business minister and will take up a new role based in Downing Street.
She will advise the G20 on the design of institutions needed to implement the “framework of sustainable and balanced growth” to be agreed this week. ‘
So, effectively, she’s leaving Downing Street… for… Downing Street… ?!
Sounds like she’s going to be a SpAd. Plenty more of our money to be troughed there.
Hmmmm…
If it was a planned move, why has the announcement been the usual screw-up?
I reckon she and Mandy weren’t getting on. She tells Gordo “give me new job in No.10 or else I do a messy resignation…”
Oh, and I’m sure all the other G20 nations just can’t wait to hear her wise words of wisdom.
And who will be shuffled into her old job? Some worthless Brownite back-bencher in need of a top-up of wedge before election time no doubt.
Memo to HMTReasury
A good way to “cut” the cost of government” or “save”, would be not to add this new job onto the public-sector payroll. May be Gordon could work on his legacy himself rather than get the taxpayers to pay for it, or may be get the Labour Party’s overdraft to fund it rather than the country’s one?
Any news on pay and perks yet? No need for her to follow ministerial code any more, and expect she’ll get a pay rise as well. Wonder if her pension improves?
Even if it’s a sideways move, I’ll bet her salary will increase. It goes without saying, doesn’t it?
Who’s got the bullet in order to give her this job, then?
No bullet just some new blue tarpalins in the garden and a desk. Not enough cash for proper new office building. A bit like that Jaycee girl had in California
So very strange that Gordon hasn’t made Tony a Lord yet, he’s enobled just about everyone else he knows.
What will Dave do if Tony is still a commoner when he becomes PM? Dave seems to have a soft spot for Tony, is it possible that he would be in Dave’s government?
Taxi for Dave
Yes – official:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8272623.stm
“As Gordon Brown’s closest advisor on economic and financial matters, she will be seen as working on what he hopes will be his legacy – a formal structure for creating a more stable global economy.”
……… i.e. sweeping Gordon’s many failings under the carpet – “it was’nae Gordon”.
Stable as in no economic growth?
Gordon’s LEGACY ????
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!
Jesus Christ! Let’s hope not.
I hope he never gets a peerage. He doesn’t deserve it – but there again when has that ever stopped them.
If he’s given money to the party he’ll get one by default.
well major aint in the lords is he ? he just a sir
Not yet. Give it time.

Well fuck off then and dont come back .I would like to see how long Scotchland can survive without any subsidy from England or our oil (if you extend the land border across the North sea you will find that most of the Oil Fields are in English waters)
are you allowed out on your own ?
is that you s.t.u.p.i.d. s.p.e.d.o.
Och aye laddie – it is so! How did ye ken ?
(if you extend the land border across the North sea you will find that most of the Oil Fields are in English waters)
Crikey animong! You’ve been allowed out of your padded cell!
How did that happen??
As any fule kno, the oil is in Scottish waters. It’s just that Scottish waters tend to move about with the tide, often hundreds of miles offshore!!
Look on the map you retard-the border between civilisation and wifebeaterland goes North East from Gretna.Put your ruler on a map (if you know how to use either) and extend the border into the North Sea.Then mark where the main oil fields are.
I take it you went to a special needs school that wasnt big on geagraphy.
Even Geography!!!
“geagraphy” oh dear not hot on English I fear!!
Snap
Anonimong. It would be disrespectful, if not treasonable, to place the person of our Sovereign Lady on any form of cartography.
I think you meant rule.
The oil fields belong to whoever has he most powerful navy/airforce
Sistas dropping like fruit flies. But when the going gets tough, the tough get going. This Dame is not for turning (as my special secret heroine said). So, wimps, drop those flies and turn around! NOW!!!

The jackass couldn’t even create a stable UK economy. Now he’s going to bring his vast fuckwittery to the international stage?
I’m going to wake up soon and find the last 12 years have been some giant fucking nightmare. Bobby Ewing will come out of the shower and we’ll all realise thye whole fucking thing was some massive mind-fuck.
This bullshit just cannot be real.
After Yasser Arafat had been dead of AIDS for a week his doctors described his condition as stable.

Another off frozen off the Taxpayer teat.
There is a cold wind blowing in the city, so it must be mighty frosty on the crap ship NuLab to risk chilly gusts of reality.
She’s off to be the UK’s G20 coordinator, so she’ll be sucking at the teat until Labour lose power and she gets sacked for being a partisan who hasn’t got a hope of coordinating anything for Cameron
Usand all them other Noo_Lie_Bore Wimmin – we know all about the Great So-Sher-Lyst Tits.
[Mr Prezza of Twat added ]
Phwooorrr!! get a load of them SoSherLyst knockers !!!
Anyone got a pie? . . . . pasty . . ? . . . . sandwich . . . ?
I know a good idea when I hear one.
Let’s cut the crap and get on with what we’re here for.
We’re not related are we ? I’m a loser, by the way.
A police force was fined £40,000 today after one of its firearms instructors nearly killed a civilian colleague during a gun-awareness training exercise.
PC David Micklethwaite, 52, from Thames Valley Police, who had failed a gun training course at another force, mistakenly loaded a Magnum .44 revolver with a live round taken from an old Quality Street tin where mixed ammunition was stored — a practice the judge branded a “disaster waiting to happen”.
He then pulled the trigger while pointing the revolver at a colleague during one of his classroom tutorials in May 2007.
I s’pose that he failed his gun training course because of poor aim!
No, he was imediately transferred to the Brixton Tube Brazilian Murder Squad.
It just goes to prove that the Police are not fit to carry arms.WTF was he thinking mixing live and dummy rounds and then loading them into a gun.If thats not bad enough pointing a gun at someone loaded or not is a definite no no.
The general rule is only point a gun at something that you want to kill.
Jeez if this is the standard of rossers then we are truly fooked.
Sorry to be picky but if you say that you pointed the gun intending to KILL then if in fact you do kill then if your actions are deemed OTT then you would be guilty of murder. (Unless you are a Brazillian overstayer going to work via the tube)
On the other hand if your intention, whilst aiming for the torso around the heart, is to STOP the intended doing what they are doing and that person dies, and then your target dies, the resultant enquiry will show that you acted properly and no prison sentence will result. What a difference a 4 letter word can make, eh?
Sweet!!
I bet the bullet was the round flat one with a gold wrapper, these are always the last ones left in the tin.
*****APPLAUSE*****
This is a joke right? So whent he cops come round to your home and demand Fort Knox style security on pissy little shotties and ammo, they’re keeping their Magnum ammo (a .44? For what, pray tell, do British cops use 44 magnums?) in a fucking sweetie tin?
I hate the fucking police. Thick as pigshit, obscenely politically correct, spend their days arresting people who criticise Mohammed, stuffing their fat carcasses with pizzas, and running down old ladies while they deliver birthday cards. Shower of fucking Huhnes.
DO YOUR JOBS you useless fucking Huhnes.
Chances are that it wasn’t even a standard issue piece of kit (most forces – sorry, “services” use Glocks).
More likely the idiot grabbed something from the confiscated/handed-in locker before it went to be sliced up, hence the random assortment of ammo in the tin too.
Tossers.
AND it doesn’t feature on the stock list.
You forgot to mention shooting electricians in the face for being brown.
.44 Magnum is a kind of ammunition, not a type of revolver. According to Wikipedia “it produces too much recoil and muzzle blast to be suitable for a police weapon”, but I suppose it is more fun than smaller ordnance.
So you can fit this .44 Magnum ‘ammunition’ in a .22 pistol can you, Woady?
Silly C.unt!
Calm down,calm down.
It was revolver that fired the .44 magnum round.
I declare the winner of this argument to be be Mr P Grimes(applause).
Now my memory may be playing tricks but even I remember the difference between ‘blank firing’ and ‘ball’ ammunition. One lot has a star shaped crimping on the end and the other has a sticky out projectile piece fitted in the cartridge case.
Simples!
Waad is right. .44 Magnum is the round not the weapon. Dirty Harry used a Smith & Wesson Model 29 which was designed to chamber a .44 Magnum cartridge.
So all these manufacturers of .44 Magnums are wrong, are they? Semantics!

PC Mickletwat: “I know what you’re thinking. “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”
Innocent bystander: “I gots to know.”
PC Mickletwat: “Oh fook!”
Question time should be good tonight, the subjects for discussion just keep coming in thick and fast. I hope the ‘pre selected and balanced audience’ have been taking stock of all the news stories of the day, they have an obligation to represent the views of the nation and trip up harperson. Question, like Nic Legg, do you want to be Prime Minister?
Harperson’s going to get an absolute roasting tonight on QT – probably well worth staying up late to watch it!!
Nah ! just set fire to the bugger and go to bed
Nobody’ll get a roasting on QT apart from the libdems and the tories; the BBC will just select their usual group of very loud labour-loving audience candidates and skew things in labour’s favour.
The question of Scotland’s breaking of the immigration law will be along the lines of:
“What would the tories have done if their minister broke the law?”
They’ll harp back to aitkin/archer etc from 20 years ago and just ignore labour completely.
Whenever the tories are mentioned, the members of the audience will hiss/groan/boo, and whenever labour are mentioned they’ll go mysteriously quiet or cheer. It’s what they do every week. It’s as predictable as you can get and so bias that you might as well not watch it. Occasionally the BBC slip-up and allow a comment from a non-labour audience member, but it’s very rare.
I suppose Harman could always advise on how to avoid a driving ban for speeding.
For more on how Question Time audiences are put together and how Harriet Harman controlled David Dimbleby a previous time she was on the show take a look here.
Dimblebore will protect, you see…..
Hessaz will sort her out
She’s not deserting the ship – if she goes to the G20 it will be to pave the way for Brown.
Och aye !
Ye right enu’ tha’ Jummy
An’ nuth’ns ma’ fult ye un’stn
yep; true; it doesn’t look like desertion at all, it’s more like she’s just moving deeper into the bunker.
getting closer to brown to try and keep as much troughing money as she can until the election; her new job’s basically just being his poodle to try and peddle his mad economic ideas to the wider world, and trying to get a job which is just that little bit further away from cabinet to try and stave-off being fired for an extra 5 minutes when cameron takes over.
an unelected minister preparing the groundwork at the g20 for an unelected pm who’s being told what to do by an unelected uber-minister; pretty tragic really. I still don’t understand why there haven’t been riots and a physical ousting of the labour government; an unelected minister breaking the law that she created being backed by an unelected pm too; how much piss-taking does the british public need before we get rid of these bastards? They’re just laughing at us all and taking all our money. Why can’t we organise a march and get rid of these wankers?
Hopefully she’ll need an expensive lawyer.
She’s looking around now as she apparently fears that an unexpected bout of Vitiligo might scupper a Non-Exec career for her in an instant.
Shriti’s not the only Indian off. I’m away with your British Defender to India. How do you like that Gordon Brown? I am also closing one of the B’ham/Solihull factories, turning the Greater B’ham region into UK’s example of Mad Max Detroit. How do you like that Gordon Brown?
O/T Brown is mad
He just said the UK economy is stronger than ever

Correction: _smells_ stronger than ever.
She’s off to korea – just like hundreds of millions of our taxes, paid out to Kia and Hyundai via the scrappage scheme. Nice.
Yesterday was the first day that I saw a new ’59′ registered car.
Remember in the boom years when they’d be showing up at the office/school with their newly registered cars that they’s picked up at the garage at midnight?
Three weeks into the new reg and one car.
Europe might be out of recession, the US might be out of recession but the UK is still well and truly in recession.
And aren’t the roads quiet?
Around here, it all goes quiet in August – and did so this year. But come september… still quiet. We have no rush hour.
Unless you count 2am to 3am when the dole trash come shrieking home from their pubs and clubs. Or 7am to 8am when the BBC rush to frame the issue sof the day in a way that suits their soggyshit left perspective. Or 10pm to 11pm, when I watch the news and then newsnight, and my tea comes rushing up in disgust. Or 6am in the morning, when I wake, and the true horror of the future facing us all, and our children, comes rushing into my mind, blacking out all hope, all optimism, all faith, everything except hate for this plague of bastards….
Steady on, Frank
Yup. Stiff upper lip. Keep calm and carry on.

Our youngest son was a salesman in the car trade until recently. He was very successful, earning an award for best salesman in the UK last year.
He left just over a month ago, because times were so bad that he and his colleagues didn’t have enough sales beteen them to boost their commission, and earnings.
So much for the scrappage scheme!
The whole of ZanuLieBore will be so must scrappage next June
‘so much’ even
Couldn’t she take gordon with her?
Hey the Hyundai I range is ace to base, far better than any equivalent car made in the UK (or Europe). They are actually made in India in the most modern car plants available, Dave still wants to give them foreign aid though.
Oh I’m not knocking them – I have a Santa Fe – it’s the bollocks. I switched from Mitz to get better economy – tried a Disco which was utter garbage. No room inside, apart from yards of headroom. If I wore a top hat with a feather in it, I’d buy a Disco, otherwise….
Ha ha. Fucking brilliant. Top hat with a feather in it. ha ha. Agree, Discos are shit. Brand new V8, 4 litre engine. Needed a new engine after 3,000 miles.
Piece of shit.

And what is this ‘international statesmen of the year’ crap? To see the silly arsed bastard swanning around the world trying to tell other countries how to run their economies must have been an absolute embarrassment to a lot of people in this country, apart from America they must of told him to sod off and not dare to tell them how to run their economies as they didn’t piss all the money up the wall when things were going well, if I remember right, the German chancellor described Gordon’s handling of things as crass, now that’s an apt epithet, Crass Gordon!

We all know that the political classes have their own interests at the heart of everything they do. Which is why this country is fucked until someone has the guts to change it all.
They can start by letting the Police do their job and investigate criminal actions within the political classes and stop jailing businessmen and women eg Trawler skippers and Farmers trying to feed the nation.
So in Dyke’s world the wicked Tory is the one who blocks his energetic progressive crusade.
Don’t think so, I haven’t a clue what Dykes politics are but it was the Labour Government who stitched him up in conjunction with the BBC board, Tony Blair, Alastair Campbell, Dr Kelly, the days when Al Beeb trumpeted WMD in Iraq. But Dyke had/has a wider point about the State broadcaster, institutionally tied to the status quo, you don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Pravda.
Let us hope she is going to Citigroup so that we may see the headline
Shrit Quiti for Citi…
How many unelected immigrant ‘ethnic’ women (well sort of – they look like aggressive trannies) are, or were, part of the fascist government?
It’s called Box Ticking.
Woman=tick
Immigrant=tick
Non white=tick
Lesbian=tick
Unelected=tick
If only she was disabled?
Can someone arrange this?
she is, her teeth are crooked just like her!! So her ability to eat is a problem.
Poor Housekeeper arrested! I wonder if she will get a fine?
From Andrew Sparrow’s blog as he pursued this story:
‘Colleagues tell me that there was a rumour around yesterday that she was heading for a job in the City and that the firm in question had been trying to get a reference for her from the Cabinet Office. (Vadera is a joint business department/Cabinet Office minister.)
Apparently, when asked about this, she dismissed it as nonsense, but it wasn’t clear whether she was just denying the “taking up references” bit – if you’re about to hire a government minister, you don’t ask for a reference – or whether she meant she had no intention of leaving the government.’
We now know she’s quitting (although not for a post in the City), but it’s a shame she’s not been given a reference.
Would some co-conspiractors like to provide one for her Ladyship?
Correction.
‘some co-conspirators’
sorry!

The Tongan cleaner and her other half arrested!!!!!!
Jeeez, it’s one dangerous country this. East Germany anyone?
The plod kicked her door in the other day. Something straight out of East European police tactics that. FFS she is not an armed and dangerous criminal, she’s just a woman trying to make a better life for her family. sometimes I just feel so ashamed to be British, the sooner this authoritarian government is dumped the better. Seems to me her real mistake was to work for one Baroness Scotland who as far as I know was more than satisfied with her servant.
The truth will out now I suppose and the next arrest could be the Baroness herself maybe after plod interrogates the tongan maid.
If what the Tongan is done is illegal then surely the baroness who was complicit in her crime must have acted illegally too.
The big difference is, a Tongan is hardly likey to be up to speed in UK law, whilst the UKs top lawyer is, especially a law that she introduced. It is not right is it?
374.Thought the illegal Tongan’s husband was an immigration lawyer.She certainly knew the law and looking at him only married him to stay in the country.Lots of young women from overseas have been known to marry older men (most of them with one foot in the grave) to stay in the country.It’s a scam.

Both arrested for Immigration Offences and bailed.
Does that effectively gag them from taling to the sunday papers?
No. They can say anything they want. It could, of course, then be used against them. They haven’t been charged as yet.
However if they have made counter allegation that would mean the allegations should be investigated as they may be pertinent to the enquiry. That would gag them if they wanted to prosecute and become witnesses.
Usually a bailing out means, more enquiries or seeking a decision to prosecute.
Interesting that it was the Police arresting them and not the UKBA. That could mean that Police were investigating a crime eg Forgery of the Passport or ir could mean they got there first arrested and then called in the Borders Agency.
Also interesting is the arrest of the solicitor, for what? harbouring a criminal, fake marriage? Who knows.
Given that the police are now involved, remind me again who would decide to prosecute them? Yes, the CPS “officially”, but who has ultimate responsibility?
That’ll be why the Attorney General is still in post then.
Sleepless nights ahead maybe for the Baroness!
requires conscience
Makes my blood boil to see the way ‘ordinary’ folk are treated differently to the crook baroness.
Not just ordinary folk anybody who dares to make New Labour look like the fools they are will be subject to the full force of their law, Damien Green M.P. arrested and interrogated over the leak on lies over immigration stats. Walter Wolfgang:
Hitler would have been so proud…..thank you for the reminder Streamfisher.
….and yet, some people will STILL vote for these chumps – because their parents did….it’s the rose and the red you see…it all seems so ‘nice’ somehow.
Isn’t it amazing how they found and arrested her so quickly when there are as many as 974,000* (but who really knows) other illegals estimated to be at large in the UK?
*Source: LSE, March 2009
I find it an amazing piece of detective work too Article 38; Patricia Scotland was fast-tracked to a £5k fine and now her illegal immigrant housekeeper has been fast-tracked to the courts. The cynic in me says that they hoped it would die away before the Labour Party conference but the realist says, fat chance and no shit Sherlock, in no particular order. Fyodor Dostoevsky
974,000* (but who really knows)
Quite! there are at least that many just running car wash sites!
‘Vadera is charming, modest, fair-minded and has really made an impact as a Business Minister with some memorable initiatives’.
Vadera works quietly and effectively behind the scenes and is unwilling to step into the limelight. Her talents include the creative use of emails and the more obscure sections of Company and Bankruptcy laws to achive her goals. She is rarely wrong, and can be relied on to nod at the right times to the press. She will be hardly missed.
Shitty Vadera isn’t competent enough to staple two pieces of paper together.
Captain Gordon Smith in command, they’re going down
