Conference Speech Advice to Brown from Blair

Well Labour is in third place in the polls, with Brown having failed to take the Tory lead apart. Blair’s advice from his valedictory conference speech was quite clear…

      Polling worse than Kinnock?

      If Gordon was not suicidal before then he must be now.

      Looking on the bright side for gordon, people always speak well of the dead.

          Brown’s biographer has just told Sky that Brown’s inner circle say that Gordon is Looking amazingly upbeat this afternoon! Looks like He has been popping the pills again.

          • WobblyJim says:

            If the Brown skid-mark is looking upbeat, it’s a sure sign that he is about the announce another wizard scheme to trash something new or to shaft the population in yet another splendid way.

            There has to be a brace of doctors who could get this fool sectioned – pretty please !
            Shall I start a whip-around ? perhaps BUPA can do it for a shilling or two?

        Maybe he’s planning a Massada type finish with all the remaining faithful on Ben Nevis. Or perhaps a Jim Jones style get together at No 10.
        More Punch anyone? A bit more orangeade? Jack? Harriet? There’s plenty for everyone.

      Life under Labour

      Down With The Nanny State

      (The views of a grumpy old man)

      I am now of the opinion, that the nanny state thinks we are fools
      I have seen our society changing, I am staggered by some of the rules
      No longer do we have the freedom to take risks after weighing the odds
      When having considered the chances, put our fate in the lap of the gods
      Banned are the daredevil heroes of which our great nation was proud
      Adventure, thrill, exhilaration are simply no longer allowed
      Today it’s all stresses and traumas caused by the slightest mishap
      Not by bombs, poverty or starvation but by insignificant crap
      We must not get upset or worried or ever receive reprimand
      Our lives must be like Mary Poppins or we will be mentally harmed
      Yet before councillors were invented and you were confronted with strife
      You didn’t start whinging and whining you simply got on with your life
      Now it seems kids can’t play conkers, at school unless wearing specs
      And firemen’s poles are a hazard, I wonder what they’ll think of next
      All workers now have to have footwear that has steel built into the toes
      Plus high visibility jackets worn over their normal work clothes
      What with PC and human rights rubbish and constant advice on our food
      We should tell all do-gooders to “Stuff it” up somewhere decidedly rude
      How do they think we all managed before all this twaddle arrived
      Through wars, poverty, depravation a hell of a lot still survived
      Nobody made a commotion if a schoolteacher gave you the cane
      It was considered unmanly if you couldn’t cope with the pain
      Villains broke rocks up on Dartmoor and murderers paid with their lives
      Fisticuffs settled a dispute for only a coward used knives
      Hooligans given a birching, till their backsides were blooded and sore
      It’s hard to look tough when you’re crying so very few went back for more
      So don’t patronise me with this drivel, my generations not dense
      We have learned how to roll with life’s punches by just using sound common sense
      If we could just gaze in a crystal and the next fifty years we could glimpse
      Then I for one feel pretty certain we will then have a nation of wimps
      None of us need to be coddled, we don’t need it all on a plate
      Let’s stand up to all these busybodies and jettison the nanny state
      The result of this do-gooder nonsense is not very hard to detect
      By the loss of respect for each other and virtually no self respect
      Gone are the days of the nit-nurse, and gone is the headmasters cane
      Is society better off for it? well, perhaps we should all think again

      oi brown leave it says:

      Iranians are Persians not Arabs ;)

      • 36
        Mr Ned says:

        Well the people that believe all the BS about Iran’s nuclear program (politicians and mainstream media) have the IQ of a rather backwards sheep. They would not know the difference between an Arab and a Persian.

        They also do not seem to know the difference between uranium enrichment of 5% and 95% (and that is down to the type of centrifuge, NOT the amount of them) Nor do they understand the difference between sticking to the letter of the IAEA treaty and sticking two fingers up to the UN, the IAEA and telling them to fuck themselves. Nor do they know the difference between building a massive stockpile of nuclear weapony and being in a position to have your secret security services proliferate it to anyone who can attack the west (for your benefit) and not having nuclear weapons at all.

        to clear up any doubt, the IAEA have repeatedly asked to inspect Israel’s nuclear facilities and their nuclear weapons, but have been told by Israel to go fuck-themselves. Israel are NOT a signitory of the NNPT and can do what they damn-well please and that is with Obama’s blessing.

        The US vetoed the attempt to have Israel sign the NNPT. It seems when Barak Obama stated last week that ALL nations must abide by the rules of the international community, he really meant ALL bar the one that actually isn’t. ironically, if one studies the relevent clauses of the NNPT, Iran have been in total compliance with their obligations under the NNPT all along. They are in breach of the UN security council resolutions, but then so are Israel, so they must be voluntary.

        Or could the same people behind the same powers that lied us into the illegal and immoral and evil Iraq war, be trying to do the exact same thing again with Iran???

          Pontius The Pilot says:

          Yeah right.

          why do you need the multiple layers of SAM’s and other short range air defence assets around peaceful nuclear power development sites? The places are fucking crawling with them, they’re in the middle of fucking nowhere and there is no credible air threat around them at all for thousands of miles until you get to Israel.

          The fuckers are developing the bomb, they know it, we know it and they know we know it. What the fuck is the point of developing a MRBM or longer range ballistic missile if you’re not going to put a worthwhile fucking warhead on it?

          • Hopefully The Israelis will solve the problem that starts with I and ends with Slam.

          • Anonymous says:

            Given that Israel consistently threatens to bomb the irainian nuclear sites, it would seem a sensible precaution to put in some defences. The site may or may not be peacful, either way it is under constant threat of attack.

          • tat says:

            hey, israel can and does do what it likes.
            but if they attack iran then iran will pop a couple of missiles off at israel and iran will target israel’s nuclear missile silos.
            forget the promised land, it will be the cursed land then.
            and so israel will not attack iran and anti social citizen is just spouting hot air.
            as usual.
            dick is just a prick too.

          Sick of the Greed says:

          Very well said Mr. Ned(I didn’t realise I was a poet).
          I seem to remember that Israel are in contravention of 45-50 UN resolutions but get away with it due to the support by the USA.
          Am I cynical to suggest that it might be due to the money that is pledged by Jews in the USA to the ruling parties???

          Good point, Mr. Ned. The hypocrisy and double-standards are simply nauseating.
          As for Iran, I have no idea if they’re building nuclear missiles or not, but maybe they wouldn’t have embarked on such a costly program if they hadn’t felt suffiiently threatened by their ever-belicose, nuclear-armed neighbour, Israel.

      You’d probably move him up to ACP, which is a horse tranquiliser. ( Frequently used in small doses by your loveable local Irish dealer, to take the edge off that difficult customer, before palming the beast off to some unsuspecting punter !)
      I think vets sometimes use it to commit suicide, so it would be appropriate under the circumstances and when people are as useless with figures as these nulab cnuts, there is always a sporting chance they’ll get the dosage wrong.

    As of next year, Gordon Brown won’t be in politics (at least not in any meaningful way). Seriously, if he wins his own seat and Labour suffer a landslide loss, what’s he going to do? You can’t imagine him working hard fro his constituents form the back benches.

    Rise up, English people, and address the unfairness of the “Scottish arrangement”!

    Yep, labour in 3rd place, but don’t rule out a hung parliament helped by a clever move by labour to trick the libdems into backing a referendum on electoral reform.

    Milli the labour manifestor writer is now on the record for having said there is something to be said for the call for elctoral reform towards alternative vote.

    Mr Fawkes, can you provide us with an insight into how all these party coneferences, the travel, the hotels the pints and the absence from the regular job (if you can call it that) are paid for/accounted for:
    -how much taxpayer money, either directly or covertly through paying for travel, hotel and food expenses
    -conference venue, incl all the security (who kept bystanders out of the backgroud for that staged phote of Brown climbing the stais with the missus?)
    -all the absence from the regular job (do delegates etc not in parliament need to take days off?)
    -all the fringe events, do parties need to report on the amount that is sponsored by companies, newspapers, unions etc.

    I very luckily hardly pay tax in the UK (as I’ve left the UK, I’m not cashflow-poor), but for what I will have to pay still I do want to know whether I’m cosponsoring all this grandstanding.

    2009 doesn’t look to be going much better than 2008.

    This time next year, Labour will be facing extinction, and, having sold out its traditional supporters and then completely fucked its new ones, this will be richly deserved.

    By gathering around Brown as he throws off his unconvincing attempt to disguise his “Class War” tendencies, this lame, wimpish Cabinet has now ensured that the end will be predictable and, rather satisfyingly, almost entirely self-inflicted.
