        If she softens chaps up, her cleavage wouldn’t be working.

        If he’d have got Jacqui and Sarah on stage in low cut tops, well, that might have worked…

        Sadly I can’t enjoy Guido’s excellent idea. At work, you see.

        Are you one of the 900,000 he has taken out of poverty?

        • 672
          Mr Ned says:

          Nope. Probably one of the millions he plunged INTO poverty. His economic policies and envy taxes have reduced my small private pension by 70%.

          I will never be able to afford to retire. On the plus side, I may be able to grab my entire pension in 10 years time and buy a ticket out of this country.

          • WobblyJim says:

            The ONLY demographic groups that this team of Labour skid-marks have taken out of poverty are the Labour team cronies. (ie themselves) and the b(w)anking classes.

            Everyone else is getting robbed blind and dry-shafted by this bunch of cnuts.

      May I just say one thing.

      Today is the day that Gordon Brown is setting out his vision. This was the reason why he did not call an election two years ago. He needed to set out his vision.

      Once he has set out his vision he will have got his message across and Labour will bounce back in the Poles at this time.

      Conference, I am SO glad to be here today:

      - to reaffirm our commitment to play our part in what we hope and expect will be a confident future of Ghana

      - to pledge to work with you on the major global issues that affect us all – of global climate change, the global economy and global security

      - to share with YOU – what is our commitment and what I know is your commitment too – to strive towards fairness and equality at this time.

      Our commitment to and connection with Ghana is based on our historical links – but it is renewed with our government’s commitment to internationalism and development.

      Our Prime Minister, GORDON BROWN, will not rest while more progress can be made on global development. Nor will his sword sleep in his hand. For him, Britain’s support for international development and tackling poverty and hardship is a moral imperative – for us all to work together reduce maternal mortality, reduce the number of children who die as infants, to cut child deaths from malaria – and all the millennium development goals which he did so much to bring about.

      So let’s here it for fraternal normality. Mandy has bounced back and so can you!

      So Sorry, I just cannot bear to watch him. It is the first labour or tory conference speech I have missed in 25 years.

      But then, considering that the arrogant ignorant twat has never, ever, listened to any of us, why the fuck should I listen to him?

      I might tune in to a repeat later, but only with my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears chanting naaa naaa naaa I can’t hear you!!!

    nice one

    wonder if we’ll hear the phrase “no more boom and bust”? doubt it

    how about “started in america”?

    could be a drinking game? a shot every time he blames something that he did on the Tories? Soon he’ll be claiming that the Tories actually won in 1997 and everything Brown did the last decade wasn’t really him.

    We already have an unpopular discredited government suddenly thinking about trying to change the voting system to get a benefit, blaming foreigners for the problems and arresting political opponents. We might as well fully embrace the banana republic ideal and start editing history textbooks.

      I almost died when I saw him at number 10 shaking hands with McDoom a few weeks ago. His comedy in the mid 90s was superb and I really thought he was quite intelligent.

      My sister bought me tickets for his show in November. I’m not sure if I’ll go now, knowing he’s a grubby socialist. Mind you, if he’s shook hands with McDoom he might be dead by then.

      By rights, Brown should not be in Number 10 one day longer than April 30th. If he is still the resident of Number 10 on the Morning of May 6th, then this Government would have been in Government for more than 5 straight years.

    Terrible But True says:

    Dear Lord, what has overcome most of our WUVI chatterati set?

    Just wanted to grab a brief moment with the box over lunch and rather had the impression I was about to be ushered into the second coming.

    What on earth kind of difference is A SPEECH, comprising mere words, going to make to atone for 12 years of clearly less than stellar DEEDS?

    Mr. Brown could parachute in from an anti-matter induced explosion and turn water to wine, and I would not believe a word of it, or at best be fairly sure he and his GOAT herd will either do all too late, way over budget and, probably, totally fouled up taboot. Again. And within weeks, much less 12 years. But it won’t be acceptable, lessons will be learned, and they can’t really blame the media this time for pointing out they are running a stack of planks close on the brain cell count. And at least a decent use can be found for some planks, who don’t insult other folk’s intelligence.

    I used to find political reporting at least entertaining and often informative, but now they have all been in the asylum so long they are sounding as deluded as the inmates.

    • 175
      Mr Ned says:

      … and out of all the people he needs to convince to vote labour to re-elect him to power, precisely NONE of them will be watching or listening to him.

      The only people watching will be those who are already delusional enough to vote labour, and those political animals here who are tuning in to have a good laugh at the insane levels of incredulity and arrogance and hubris on display and to count the fishmouths… Oh and the media.

      This speech will not make any difference as the people of this country have already made up their minds that labour is NOT the answer to our problems.

      He has NEVER listened to us, so why the fuck should we listen to him?

    ‘But it remained for the Tories, with their unqualified capacity for falsehood, and their fighting comrades, the Toriess, to impute responsibility for the downfall precisely to the man who alone had shown a superhuman will and energy in his effort to prevent the catastrophe which he had foreseen and to save the nation from that hour of complete overthrow and shame. By placing responsibility for the loss of the economy on the shoulders of Bankers they took away the weapon of moral right from the only adversary dangerous enough to be likely to succeed in bringing the betrayers of the Middle England to Justice. All this was inspired by the principle–which is quite true in itself–that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. And I should no, comrades!!!’

      Use of the expression by Goebbels (nee AC)

      Later, Joseph Goebbels put forth a slightly different theory which has come to be more commonly associated with the expression big lie. Goebbels wrote the following paragraph in an article dated 12 January 1941, 16 years after Hitler’s first use of the phrase big lie, entitled “Aus Churchills Lügenfabrik”, translated “From Churchill’s Lie Factory”. It was published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel.

      That is of course rather painful for those involved. One should not as a rule reveal one’s secrets, since one does not know if and when one may need them again. The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably

      *** stupid thick-headedness. ***

      The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.[2]

    His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[5]

    Dalai Lama Ding Dong says:

    Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of powerful antidepressant drugs prescribed for the treatment of depression. They are particularly effective in treating atypical depression, and have also shown efficacy in smoking cessation.

    Due to potentially lethal dietary and drug interactions, MAOIs had been reserved as a last line of defense, used only when other classes of antidepressant drugs (for example selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants) have failed. Recently, however, a patch form of the drug selegiline, called Emsam, was developed. It was approved for use by the FDA on February 28, 2006.[1] When applied transdermally the drug does not enter the gastro-intestinal system as it does when taken orally, thereby decreasing the dangers of dietary interactions associated with MAOI pills.

    In the past, MAOIs were prescribed for those resistant to tricyclic antidepressant therapy, but newer MAOIs such as selegiline and moclobemide provide a safer alternative and are now sometimes used as first-line therapy, although these substances are not always as effective as their predecessors.

    They are also used for treating agoraphobia or social anxiety. MAOIs can also be used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease by targeting MAO-B in particular (therefore affecting dopaminergic neurons), as well as providing an alternative for migraine prophylaxis. Inhibition of both MAO-A and MAO-B is used in the treatment of clinical depression and anxiety.

      Nobody knows what’ll come up over the next 4 years; you can’t write the budget of the next 4 years into law and set it in stone for the next government to follow, that just isn’t legal or logical.

      It seems to me that the labour manifesto will be:
      “Vote for us, and by 2025 we’ll be financially back to where we started in 1997 if we’re lucky”

But they are going to pass a law to ensure they stick to this.

    there were some fantastic own goals because after all his proclaimed successs there is all the clean up costs , nor have the tories said any of the things he claims they have and tried to make out cameron isnt a pragmatic moderniser , nor did he fess up to the child problems his cultural aspects have created (Cw has a little list of labours mistakes) .

      By the way, the EU is also investing in a new police to scan existing computer networks to look for “unusual activity”. Ostensibly to look for those elusive terrorists (you know, the ones that blow things up without any of us noticing). So every time you use your “voluntary if you can actually avoid using it” ID card they will know what you are up to. Visiting the local Cons Club could be considered “unusual activity” now that the socialist new world order has claimed that that the Tory party has allied itself to dangerous right-wing racist parties in the EU Parliament.

    The electorate will be over the moon with further donations to India and we are not going to give council houses to pregnant teenagers,what a masterstroke that one is,oh yes I forgot,we will give them to illegals instead.
    ID cards abolished another u turn Cameron will love that one.

    Lets wait and see what the Tories actually plan to do. At the moment Cameron and co are little better than stuffed shirts. Give us a vision to vote for rather than sitting back and expecting people to vote for you just because you aren’t the incumbents. If its a cogent, inspiring vision then thats great but for the moment you don’t deserve my vote by pursuing a policy of doing nothing.

      The tories will get my vote unless they say that they’ll adopt all labour’s policies, simply because the choice will be:

      1) Vote labour and destroy what little is left of the economy, have record taxes, and the most bloated state in world history

      2) Vote libdem and destroy what little is left of the economy, have record taxes, and the most bloated state in world history

      3) Vote tory and try to save the economy without driving everyone to total bankruptcy with insane levels of tax and a horrifically bloated state.

      If the tories say:
      “Let’s just bin tax credits for 99% of people who don’t really need them by letting those people keep more of their own earnings in the first place. Why take £500/month off someone in tax and then process tons of paperwork and make them beg for £500 of it back again in tax credits? They end up in the same situation as if they’d never paid tax in the first place yet it’s just cost the state a fortune in pointless admin and bureacratic staff. What’s the fucking point of that?”
      then they’d definitely get my vote.

      It’s a bit difficult to pursue policies if you’re not in government. Guess the Conservatives will also have to look at the UK accounts to see how little spending money is left.

        It’s a bit difficult to pursue policies if you have quit or been forced out by your colleagues in a Leadership contest.

        If we can ignore the usual unimaginative childish shit throwing from the cheap seats and be serious for once, Brown has to do one thing with this speech and conference.

        He has to cut deeply into the Tory lead and more importantly KEEP it there.

        Because if the polls jump for him after this and are almost immediately nullified by the polls jumping for Cameron after his conference, then we are all back to where we were months ago with the first coup attempt and the challengers and backbench MP’s have not forgotten Brown’s promises to turn things around.

        More to the point they will all be back in the Commons by then and able to take names and do head counts and cut deals between each other.

        People also seem to forget that whatever support the challengers have just now is only the support of MP’s who still have a job. Everything changes after an election catastrophe under Brown. Challengers who are MP’s right now might not be after a wipeout and could lose half or more of their Labour MP backers as they all get picked off under a strong Cameron win under Brown as PM.

        Workmanlike don’t do the job. This was all it was and did not change the landscape.

        Brown is hardly safe after this retread and dull tinkering.
        Mandelson’s eagerness should be taken as the eagerness of a man who wishes to have clean hands should the deed now have to be be done.
        He’s not going to be caught openly helping the plotters now.
        But in the background…

      “never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake” – dunno who said that – prolly Sun Tzus and stolen by a Corsican chimp, so Cameron doesn’t need to say a thing, he can just sit back and let Brown and Team Useless do the heavy lifting of killing themselves off – and I must give Brown credit, he’s doing a grand job of it.

      If nothing else, it will kill off socialism as a relevant political power for generations if not forever. It’s never worked in it’s history and never can. It is fundamentally totalitarian with an agenda of stealing all wealth and property for the ruling party/state. Not a lot different to facism which simply adds corporatism to the socialist agenda. the extreme fringes of left and right are not places where the great unwashed want to be.

        give it a fucking rest please
        the British public rightly laugh at such hysterical fuckwittery
        they will kick Brown out because he’s a bloody incompetent arse
        they don’t give a shit about idealogues spouting and spitting at ideaologies they can’t even tell the difference between
        the only folk that pre-school namecalling shit works on is the american religious morons who think Sarah Palin isn’t one of the most stupid dimbos ever to walk the earth

    Well done Guido for making this opportunity available. Will you be downloading the comments to the Downing Street site? You really should consider it you know.

Ben Wallace MP, Tory shadow spokesman for Scotland, says

“Scotland’s biggest Labour donor is in receipt of millions of pounds of Labour-controlled government funds. It’s back to the old Labour days: it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”
