Assinder’s Dark Unsubstantiated Hypocrisy

HypocriteOn his somewhat dark looking blog, Nick Assinder, fresh from resigning from PoliticsHome on a point of high principle, suggests this morning that as a result of The Sun switching “Brown will be hurling staplers and mobiles across his hotel room tonight.” Suggesting that the Prime Mentalist is prone to uncontrollable rages and throwing office equipment around the room.

Who said

So, here is a classic example of a dark, unsubstantiated rumour about the Prime Minister’s personal life that owes its existence entirely to a single blog.

about allegations that the Prime Mentalist pops pills?

Does Nick Assinder have a shred of first hand evidence that Gordon Brown is prone to Nokia throwing? Or is this just a classic single example of a blogger’s hypocrisy?

      The rage thing was covered by the press in some detail and had a source unlike the pills

      What happens when Gordon Brown gets angry? The laser printer gets it
      An aide says the prime minister’s fury has seen him hurl pens and a stapler as well as shoving a printer off a desk

      http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/blog/2009/apr/24/gordon-brown-angry

      And it was also covered in PMQ’s unlike the pills rumour

      Asked by a Tory MP at prime minister’s question time what the government would do about bullying in the workplace, given the complaints about a “senior Whitehall manager” throwing mobile phones and printers around and swearing at switchboard operators, Brown replied gruffly: “All complaints are dealt with in the usual manner.”

      doesn’t mean this blogger isn’t a cock but it ain’t the same

            I just want to see that it is hurting, and fucking hurting real bad. I want to see these bastards squirming over the next six months, pleading with us to take heart on them, the underlings. I want to see Brown squirm serially, two or three times a day until the next election and I want to see them fucking hurting just as their policies have made me hurt.

            This lot are the biggest load of wankers ever and I would like them to fade into obllivion whilst still believing they are the best thing since sliced bread and I would like to see the bastards go into freefall after the election and irrevocably split up so that they can never again wreak such havoc on this country with their failed economic policies and their arrogant attitude.

            Don’t you just fucking love it

          As an interesting sidenote to all this, it does raise the question of raising the question of Browns rumoured pill popping in PMQ’s

          Would any MP dare try to ask a leading question on it ?

          Don’t think Cameron would allow it from the conservative benches somehow and the Libs like to appear nicey nicey even if they campaign in the dirt

          But the Scot-Nats… If I remember rightly they are probably still somewhat annoyed at Brown’s cowardice in dodging the Megrahi release question while the same Brown ordered his Scottish Labour friends to put the boot into the Nats for doing exactly what he wanted them to do with Megrahi

          Perhaps one of them might welcome a chance to aim a loaded question about the role of anti-depressants in combatting record levels of depression in a recession and whether the Prime Minister took it seriously enough to have a PERSONAL interest in this pressing matter

          You would hear a pin drop after that

          They might well be rumours but everyone in Westminster has known them for years now. Will anyone cast the first stone at PMQ’s ?

        But this is a serious issue. If a Tory MP was chucking printers and phones about the place and swearing at the secretaries Harriet ‘fucking’ Harman would be apoplectic.

        This is workplace bullying. Folk get fired for a lot less. Or at least have to sit through a condescending chat from HR.

        But this fucker, fresh from giving his sub-ordinates a whole new arsehole then seeks to foist his unique brand of utter idiocy on the entire UK. And those Labour jackasses just sit there and treat it all as a fucking big joke. ‘Cos they’re one of the bullies mates.

        No wonder he hates Boulton. ‘Cos he can’t control him.

        But watch for Brown seeking to use his control of the UK banks to call in Murdoch’s loans.

          Murdochs huge debt and creditors are mostly in the US
          Some of them might well have UK interests though

          But make no mistake, all is not roses in the Murdoch garden

          Little Murdoch junior was clearly furious that he didn’t get his own way on BBC renewal and license as well as the broadcasting small print about network holdings

          And some of the anti-competitive clauses and european actions on things like sport are going to make daddy Murdoch a whole lot more unhappy fairly soon

          Best bit about the Boulton interview is Gordon restating that the recession is not over, while Mandelson has been desperately trying to convince the media to publish news that ‘we have turned the corner on the recession’.

          Just what Mandy needs, eh? A pill-popping bi-polar, mono-ocular, nose-picking Scot with a severe body hygiene problem and suffering from a chronic sense of insecurity coupled with a persecution complex about his own party and cabinet members.

        Gordon’s antics with his office equipment. Whether its true or not, does it matter much? It’s the caricature that it creates which is the important outcome.

        Politics is all about perception.

        I watched that Brown speech yesterday and looked at Kinnock and all I could picture was the Spitting Image dummy; which, frankly, was a more attractive proposition…

            A foyer means to me where the night’s dossers were sprawled if you turned up early at the office… more evidence that most of NuLabour have never done a day’s work in their lives — let alone turn up for work early.

          • Phil O'Pastree says:

            It’s an idea copied from the French where a foyer is a hostel. Hostel sounds like where the homeless, beaten wives or single mothers might be housed in cramp, unpleasant conditions so I guess they stcuk with the word foyer to fool everyone.

            ‘By the November (1997), though, the first indications of the true nature of New Labour were coming to the surface, when questions were raised regarding Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone and the undisclosed million pound donation made in January 1997.
            The Party promise to return the sum.

            The then Health Secretary Frank Dobson had announced days after the election that a future ban on sports sponsorship by tobacco companies would come into force.

            Towards the end of the year however, the government proposed to exempt Formula One from the advertising ban and at that point the media began to look into whether Mr Ecclestone had made donations to Labour.’

          Let’s look at the average Labour voter (not the Islington BBC mob, they vote Tory anyway in secret). Chances are, they are one of the following:

          Unemployed.
          Thick.
          Uneducated.
          Poor.
          Ethnic.

          I really don’t see how Kerry is going to reach any of them. Most of her constituents have Somali as a first language anyway and are too busy trying to master eating with a knife and fork to be bothered with 140 charachter messages on a laptop. Obama used the Internet because Democrats are savvy Liberals with Macs and blackberries. The only blackberries Labour voters know about are down by the railway embankment, covered in used scratchcards.

          Now there’s a thought Kerry. Spread the message on chip wrappers, cans of Stella, Rizla papers, pizza boxes, Halal kebabs and benefit forms. In Urdu of course. Straight to your core vote.

            The long term future does not matter. Out of a public job, loss of quango funding, lose your home, on the streets these are the fears of the majority. Two or 3 years outlook at the most.

    He’s right though. They left the Camera running on Brown after he finished his interview with Boulton this morning. Brown was absolutely fuming, probably the first time the public have seen the anger that Gordon is said to display off screen. Was bound to happen sometime perhaps there is a contest between Boulton and Marr to see who can get Brown to lose it first in Live interview.

      It’s hubris alright. But the ‘memory span of a goldfish’ thing was deliberate policy to be used against the voters. This worked in the pre-internet age when they would bare-faced lie to you and you go ‘Hold on… I’m sure you said only last week..’ and they’d give it ‘No, that is your misunderstanding, your mistake, your problem…’

He is truly awful and not content with being awful he goes out and practices each and every day to perfect the art of being an awful incompetent.

I find it hard to believe this man is our PM…….and contrary to labour propaganda, so does the rest of the world – he is a laughing stock and he knows it!

      Brown is the one going on about privilege and class NOT the tories – he is obssessed and needs therapy. I think he forgets that his mate Tony the liar probably had one of the most privileged ubringings of all our politicians…Fettes and all that.

    per page 106 ceefax – Brown has told the BBC that he has made a decision about taking part in a televised debate but will not tell them what that decision is – “it is not the right time” – is there a rational explanation for this because I can’t see one?.

      Lizzie says:

      Brown has none of the “courage” he writes about, and no there is no rational reason for not committing to a Leaders Debate. Brown talks endlessly about other world leaders who follow him “slavishly”, other world leaders have had political debates. Something to note is Obama flourished from his debates setting out his policies, and McCane floundered because all he wanted to do was “run down” the Democrats. If Brown gathers enough courage to take part in the Leaders debate that is something Brown should remember “don’t slag off the Conservatives”, it is not healthy for politics.

    2. And they came to a sea side : and there were sheeple there.
    3. And when they saw the sheeple, Mose lifteth up his voice, and spake unto Mincyfancybum saying :
    4. Let us speak unto the sheeple that they may hear our voice, and our message, that they may fall down and worship us.
    5. And MincingFairyCake answering said : thou art indeed a wondrous sight to behold, and thy voice never ceaseth to draw the multitude.
    6. And Mose openeth his mouth, and answered, saying, I knoweth that as true.
    7. And Mose, standing on Mincybottys groin, in a loud voice, sayeth unto the sheeple :
    8. Draw nigh and hear my words of hope and wherein the blame doth lie.
    9. And no sooner than he had uttered those words, than jobsworths appeareth, saying :
    10. Where is now thou scroll or parchment granting thee and thy strange companion leave to stand upon the sea shore and proclaim to the sheeple ?
    11. And Mose, answering, said, I needeth not one. For I am the Saviour of the World, and verily, the Sun Shineth from out of Mine Fundament.
    12. And the jobsworths, answering said. Arrest these people. For they are possessed of devyls, and they utter ordure.
    13. And Mose and Mincybum ground their teeth, and tore their raiment, and wept with rage.

          “If the Lisbon Treaty is not yet in force at the time of the next general election, and a Conservative Government is elected, we would put the Treaty to a referendum of the British people, recommending a ‘no’ vote. If the British people rejected the Treaty, we would withdraw Britain’s ratification of it.

          But if the Treaty is in force we will be in a different situation. In our view, then, political integration would have gone too far, the Treaty would lack democratic legitimacy in this country and we would not let matters rest there.

          A Conservative Government would also amend the 1972 European Communities Act so that any future EU Treaty that transfers powers from the United Kingdom to the European Union would be subject to a referendum of the British people. The British people must be in charge of their future in Europe.”

    The rumour swilling around conference this morning is that the News International party last night was a rather strained affair; given that news broke of the Sun’s defection to the Tories half way through. Various cabinet ministers heard about the news as they were swigging Murdoch’s free beverages. Some observers later heard Lord Mandelson tell NI executives in no uncertain terms that they were out of line*. Apparently a c-word was used. Mandelson has since insisted that the word in question was “chump”.

    * The Sun’s move appears to have been timed for maximum political impact, just hours after Brown’s speech. The rumour is that new editor Dominic Mohan didn’t bother to tell GB (despite a phone conversation earlier yesterday) that the bombshell was primed. Mohan is not even here in Brighton. Meanwhile it’s interesting that the Scottish version of the Sun will not back the Conservatives.

      Mr Ned says:

      So Vaclav Klaus has indicated that he is prepared to delay the Czech Republic’s retification for up to six months? Fat lot of good that is if we have to wait 7 months to the next election!

      In fact, even if Cameron wins in April it would take until August to get a referendum.

      Klaus will have reluctantly ratified it by then according to this article.
      Still, we can but hope that the democratic will of the people is yet respected. That would be the will of the electorates that have been allowed a vote on the constitutional treaty and the damn-near identical Lisbon treaty.

      To explain, the constitutional treaty replaced 7 or 8 previous treaties with a single treaty. It was not a constitution, but created a legal framework that would act like a constitution.

      when this was rejected twice, the EU decided that to have the same laws and legal framework in place, that instead of replacing these earlier treaties with one new simpler one, that they would instead just amend all the earlier treaties with a new one, so that all the earlier treaties would then create a legal framework identical to the rejected constitutional treaty. This was the Lisbon amendment treaty.

      So both the constitutional treaty and the Lisbon treaty do exactly the same bloody thing.

      We were promised a referendum on the TREATY, NOT on the CONSTITUTION. As tony Blair was at pains to stress on many occasions prior to the 2005 election, this was NOT a constitution, it was a constitutional TREATY. He said this repeatedly to try to get out of giving us a say in a referendum. After all, it was just a treaty and not a constitution. SO when this failed and he was backed into a corner at the last election, labour reluctantly agreed to offer us a referendum on the TREATY. NOT the constitution itself.

      That will also be why he was so keen to hang on long enough to be at the EU summitin June 2007 so that he could ensure that the Lisbon Treaty would be seen as an amendment treaty instead of a constitution, therefore it would not require a referendum.

      However, that is mere symantics as the actual greater effect upon the law of member nations and the amount of sovereignty handed over to the EU by this treaty is identical in scope and effect (taking into account recent amendments reintroducing the flag and national anthem) as the Constitutional treaty and All three major parties promised a referendum on the TREATY.

      I still pray that Ireland votes NO.

      That’s very funny and very dim.

      Nothing was spent on school building under the Conservitudes 18 year administration. Nothing even was spent on maintenance of school buildings. Hence the gigantic bill because the Conservitudes literally didn’t repair the roof when they were in power.

      The spending on school buildings has not caused the crisis.
      Reckless banks and mumbo jumbo financial innovation based on the now wholly discredditted notion of the infallibility of markets, have caused the crisis.

        Oh dear.

        The Conservatives spent as little as they could in the 1980′s because the country couldn’t afford it following the incredible profligacy in the 1970′s propping up dead industries. Spending increased (a little) in the 1990′s.

        The current financial woes of the country are largely down to Government decisions – consistently spending more than the country was earning, and filling the gap by borrowing, from 1998 onwards. Then by lobbing huge amounts of taxpayer’s money the government didn’t have (borrowing on an historically unprecidented scale) at dead banks. Would have been much cheaper to regulate properly in the first place, and allow the failed banks to fail.

        Sorry, MB, but all the financial woes of the nation are entirely down to Government decisions.

          It was properly funded too, not this PFI mortgage to the hilt bullshit.

          How wrong they were and Gordoom is genuinely hated by vast swathes of the country.

          I am your typical switch voter and I would NEVER vote for a party that had such an awful leader and gang of incompetent ministers, God in heaven, Bob Ainsworth anyone!!!????

          ZaNULab have morphed into a surreal, parasitic, authoritarian quasi fascist, elitist gang of degenerates and open thieves, laughing as they pick the bones clean.

          They are vermin and will be destroyed at any election.

      Engineer says:

      Major was (and still is) a decent, honourable man. In 1997, however, he did have some ‘bastards’ in his party, and not enough of a parliamentary majority to control them. Despite that, he still managed to leave the nation’s finances in pretty good shape, so he acted in the national interest and not for personal gain.

    I’m getting a bit worried – I think Gorgo could actually be goaded into a proper nervous breakdown. I want him to stay as leader until the election so I don’t want anyone to help the Liebor louts by tipping him over the brink. So CHEERS GORDON carry on the good work!

      He would stay even after a proper nervous breakdown!

            If he saves us from the Lisbon Treaty it would be worth the two years, then we can elect UKIP or get a real conservative into the leader’s position.

      You have a good point. But I am sure Dave is aware of this and will be treating his biggest asset with Kid Gloves. Dave has already said today that Marr was wrong to ask Gordon about the pills. So fear ye not The Conservatives are doing all they can to keep Gordon in power up to the election.

          • Norman says:

            Must admit they haven’t done much opposing. Even the ID card thing was down to to the other David and Dave is already signalling that he will back off from a European referendum. I seem to be meeting more and more Conservative voters who do not trust Cameron and will be voting UKIP.

          • Mr Ned says:

            Cameron will have to play a blinder next week and actually address the Lisbon Treaty issue head on. This is his last chance before the election to give a conference speech to launch a mighty election campaign.

            I am not holding my breath. So far I have been far less than impressed with Cameron and the tories and I cannot see any potential for change there.

            It is looking more likely that I shall be picking an independent candidate at the next election, or possibly UKIP.

            Let’s wait and see what the Irish say on Friday and then what Dave’s response will be.

      The labour party manifesto is……all lies again!

      From the referendum promise on electoral reform in 1997 that is now only being resurrected as they face electoral anihilation through the promise not to privatise the London Underground to a promise not to increase top-up fees, the the promise to never increase income tax to the referendum promise on the EU treaty.

      LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES

      Yup, we were talking about it at scouts; the gobby among us dont’ keep quiet, but the non-committed were still silently shaking their heads – at the debt, btw. It was the debt that horrified people. Where are this 24% who still support him? I don’t meet them.

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

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.
