Campbell : The Murdoch Years

Bad Al Campbell is briefing that the Sun’s endorsement is nothing.  When he was really a player in the game, he used to think differently, take this extract from his diaries:

Monday, March 17, 1997
Labour's Lost the Sun… As soon as TB finished the Q & A session I took him to one side and said I had some good news. I said you remember in 1994 when I said we should try to get the Sun on board and you said you weren’t sure it was possible, well, they are. He thought it was good news in its own right, but was good in the effect it would have on the other side’s morale. I tipped off Mike Brunson at ITN. On one level, it was ridiculous that it should be seen as a big event, but the reality is that is exactly how it is seen. I felt it was a fruit of three years’ hard work, and there will be many more.

If you read his book, The Blair Years“, Alastair boasts of lying, of spinning in his own words “bollocks”. It was he who sent David Kelly and thousands more to their deaths on the basis of a dossier of lies.  Labour circles are currently alive to the rumour that Bad Al is negotiating the terms on which he will return to help Mandelson in Downing Street.  Alastair himself is spinning, as if he understands, that the internet changes everything.  Mandelson told Paxman last night that The Sun doesn’t matter because of blogs and Twitter, as if they are some 140 character placebo for democracy. Yes, the internet.  Come on down Alastair, come spin on the web.  Emperor of dirt, we will make you hurt…

      Perhaps he thinks newspapers don’t matter either.

      They still do if only for headlines and covering coffee tables on TVAM.

      The fact still remains that the voters have woken up, the journalists have woken up, the Sun has woken up dare I even say it…. BBC perhaps have awoken? and certainly the country has finally woken up… to something that some of us have known since years gone by

      Labour is not working,never will never has:

      I wouldn’t underestimate Campbell’s ability. He may be more used to MSM but together with Mandelson the poison would gush forth. However, his problem is that he will always be associated with the Iraq dossier and I look forward to sticking it to Campbell in the blogosphere, should he decide to come back.

          He’d be crap – blogging is about words, and only words. Winning the argument with digits, not threats. A bloggers does his job here on the screen, not with some backroom deal, not with a smear campaign.

            Why do you bother reading something written by a bunch of people you clearly dislike and disagree with? Sarcasm can be the highest form of humour, but when it’s used by hoons like you, it’s only ever going to be the lowest form of wit.

            He has a personal blog just now because he is out of politics but if he rejoined the fray on the front line it would be updated sporadically at best and probably by a junior

            The point about being a Director of Communications is you don’t waste your time talking to a few thousand internet obsessives

          • Get a grip on reality and remember what MASS media means

            This is the mass media now dummy.

            How do measure effective communications? By page clicks? By newspaper purchases? No. Volume is just a tiny part of it. Did you read/hear interviews with sun readers yesterday? Most were oblivious to the paper’s political slant, some did not know what party was in power now. They’re not unique – most papers with a “slant” project that to all, but the message is only picked up by a few, and fewer still grasp, understand and agree with it. Blogs narrowcast – everyone who reads a blog is seeking. It’s a buy-in before they even start. Not all will agree, but all will engage. And engagement, as any brand manager can tell you, is key.

            A blog with 100,000 readers has a far greater effective reach than a paper with half a million, maybe even than a paper with a million – and dont’ forget; online, those readers are not inert. Blogs are viral by nature, the word gets out, the word is *intentionally* spread.

            The next election will see the agenda made right here – right fucking here. And every day the papers will be playing catch-up. Believe it.

            maaan I feel like a feckin’ guru. I’ve been talking about this shit for more’n a decade. How come I’m not a millionaire?

          • Ivor Schwartzporshe says:

            We were mostly attracted to this particular blog because it seeks the real world of politics in live time. I find the Telegraph comments after an article is enlightening also. Politicians can spin bollocks and lie but the reality and heartfelt personal experience of folk in the real world can easily sort the wheat from the chaff on a blog so by the end of a few hundred comments on a particular thread raised by Mr Fawkes I believe one gets a feel for the mood in the real world – not some fantasy Alice in Wonderland world where most politicians and spin agents live.

          • still troughing after all these years says:

            Like the expenses scandal then ?

            A few thousand regular readers and one small smear scandal (that was almost immediately overshadowed by one of the most far reaching stories of Political corruption in modern times) does not a new election model make

            The internet will be most utilised for mass emails by Coulson
            the blogosphere will pop up one or two times during the campaign like twitter will. But it is a tiny part of a Campaign and all the bluster in the world will not change that

            Political TV also targets and engages a specific audience yet they do so with a far greater reach than any blog

            Come the Campaign proper there will be an increase in interest in Politics on all media and those catering to specific Political content be it Radio, TV, Newspaper or Internet will experience a boost

            A Campaign Director targets the widest audience most effectively
            Blogs do not need to be paid or targetted
            left or right they carry on because that is what they do

            Pamphlets, boots on the ground frontline Party Members, election workers, Billboard and Ad space will take precedent as they win elections

            Campaigns are top down allocations of resources with boggers being very low on the pecking order when they are thought of at all

            Being a “new” media is not an automatic ticket to dominance or relevance or twitter would win this election

            Those who think so are most commonly bloggers themselves suffering from an amusing sense of narcissism and self-importance

            I’d be careful as I half expected some zany talk of Zen Bhuddist priniciples as you sounded alarmingly like another ‘colourful’ poster in your wide eyed enthusisams

            Real stories make the news and set the agenda
            Not regurgitated analysis of the other Medias stories

          • @still troughing after all these years

            *agenda* my friend. Even though the Telegraph bought the info and put it in the public domain they were *already* within another agenda – the public mood was ripe and eager and responsive to that story. Why?

            It’s not about facts and stories, it’s about framing debate and questions. I’ll give you a solid example – immigration. Immigration was firmly off the mainstream agenda. No party wanted to talk about it, no paper wanted to talk about it, but the UK internet has *always* been full of it. The public have been empowered to break taboos on discussion of immigration and race because their views have been validated by their peers online. The Virgin killer hoohah was another example where the MSM were totally baffled to find the public not responding as they expected them to.

            Campaign directors will do a job – the job they think they can do, but they will not be the only voice, they will not be able to frame discussion int he way they wish, because others will talk about the issues *they* wish to. We all know the chief power of the BBC is in their agenda setting role – they *frame* what can be discussed, and what context it sits in – the rest of the MSM take their cues there. That doesn’t happen here. You disparage blogs commenting on existing stories – why? What do you think the press do? It is the *angle* of those comments that different from paper to paper, channel to channel, and now, blog to blog. The facts don’t change – their context and connectivity do.

            If political campaign managers think they’re going to be able to lock this election down to the topic they wish to discuss, in the way they’d like to discuss them, then they are way fucking wrong. It’s going to be fun.

          • still troughing after all these years says:

            The expenses scandal would have been huge at any time because it was that kind of story and scandal

            Immigration has surfaced and resurfaced throughout the decades
            Howard tried to run on it but the public didn’t bite
            The facts on the ground changed with mass Polish and EU immigration and that was reflected in a small jump in the B&P vote and the subject coming to the fore of all the media and Political Parties
            The recession killed much of that influx and it has once again fell in the publics priorities though the expenses scandal has and will cause increased suport in monorrity parties because of gerneral disillusionment

            I’m not saying a Campaign Director can fully control the agenda but they won’t waste a great deal of sleep worrying about the blogosphere when they have to get doorsteppers in key marginals

            Any unexpected story can and will will knock them off their narrative some might even come from the blogosphere but the majority of News is events

            Something happens a reporter is sent, facts are verified a story is told
            Reporters break News stories and the media can then frame them but the who what where when why are usually immutable and they are not easily spun

            All the commentary in the world is mere noise in the absence of facts
            If a blog has new verifiable facts and breaks them it will shape the agenda
            If it reframes existing copy it is, as you say, hardly unusual whatever the media but neither it news

          • But neither is most news, news.

            Doesn’t really matter if we disagree, the proof will be in the pudding. I anticipate an interesting campaign – Labour will fall back to salvage a core position in their safe seats, but will be fighting on three fronts to do so: tories, LD, beeEnnpee – and that will be a largely traditioanl part of the campaign. LDs may try to be innovative but y’know, they’re just not that bright and they’re facing squeeze as usual. The interesting campaign, for me, will come from the tories – they’re going to be facing crap from labour, but also on the right from UKIP, Libertarian, but mostly lib wings within the tories, positioning and pressuring; *that* will be an online agit-prop fight. The true right do not want a soggy centre social democrat tory party. I imagine Labour’s campaign will be bluster and smear, but from the right will be demands for clarity, clear blue water, ideological purity.

            Should be fun.

            HEIL BRAUN

            One warms to your perceptive views

            Good Queen Bess amazed her Contemporaries (1558 to 1603) – she had a Bath ONCE A MONTH, even when she didn’t need it

            These Porkers are also “useful” for paying you a Winter Fuel Payment, even if rich pensioners don’t need it

            I remain your obedient servant etc

            G Eagle

            Over 60′s Winter Fuel Payments = “£125 or £250, depending on your circumstances in the qualifying week (21 to 27 September 2009)”

          • Grumpy Old Man says:

            But buggering the country whilst bribing the electorate, (sorry, core vote) at the enormous cost of creating non-jobs for Labour’s legions of semi-literate unemployables is one of Brown’s core projects. I haven’t claimed Winter Fuel Allowance, and I tried to continue to pay for my prescriptions at 60 but was told that it was impossible to do so. And all the time the debt to be paid by my children and their children is increasing exponentially.

          • A Pensioner says:

            G – you are an ignorant twat.

            A pensioner is someone in receipt of a pension – not necessarily an old age pension.

            In my line of work you retire early.

            I live in hope of meeting you.

          • English Viking says:

            @ Pensioner

            A pension is traditionally awarded to a long serving employee once they reach an age where they are no longer as productive as they used to be, i.e. old age. It can also be given to those who are injured during the course of carrying out their duties.

            ‘In my line of work you retire early’.

            If by early retirement you mean that you have amassed enough wealth to last a lifetime by the time you reach 50, through hard work and entrepreneurial enterprise, I take my hat off to you. If you mean that you have managed to rob the taxpayer through a gold-plated final salary pension scheme, after a few years of flying a desk around a Town Hall, or some such other non-job, you are an ass. Judging by your arrogance and misplaced faith in your ability to intimidate, I would imagine that you are no pensioner at all, just a mouthy youth having an ego-trip on a blog.

        I heard that one too. It was a good interview and entertaining, but also rammed home to me how utterly improper it was for him to have any place in high politics, and also it exposed the total lack of judgement of Blair et al to think that employing an alcoholic manic depressive with mental illness in such a prominent position was in any way good for the country.

        I shall never forget that Ali Campbell lied, and over a million died.

        The man is an accomplice to war crimes and has the blood of every serving British soldier that died, every Serving British soldier that was maimed, every Serving British soldier that suffers PTSD and goes on to rape, abuse, murder or commit suicide, on HIS hands.

        That makes sense because most people are not political. They have other lives and other interests.

          Bringing back Campbell, the man who oversaw the dissemination process (and then wrote the textbook on how it was done) is as pointless as bringing back Mandleson the architect of the politics and putting him in the House of Lords.

          No-one’s persuaded any more and they all know it. Make the most of Harman’s speech to today. Someone in tHe guardian said yesterday ‘they’re going down fighting. But they’re going down’.

          I think it won’t be long before we see the fight go out of them and then there’ll be a short period of spiteful score settling and political a long, long period in the political wilderness.

          It’s as though they’ve learend nothing since the sheffield rally …

          • Mr Ned says:

            Indeed, the editorial team at the sun do read the comments on their website and the letters they receive. Even they cannot come to any other conclusion that even with the massive built-in bias for labour in the electoral boundaries, labour are fooked! The sun’s readership responses to political stories is something like 25 comments to one against the government on almost every announcement these days. It has gone way way way past the point where people will even consider discussing any proposal or policy entirely on it’s merits. If it has a labour badge on it, it is bad! end of!

            Whilst I am against this kind of knee-jerk response to policy announcement by ANY party, I do feel a warm sense of satisfaction in seeing labour be on the receiving end of this reaction after labour and the media heaped this treatment on John Major from 1992 – 1997.

            It is interesting to see instinctive right-wingers slagging off the homes (sorry Foyers) for 16 & 17 year old single mothers. I would have thought it was right up their street politically. BUT it is announced by labour and is therefore by default a bad idea!

            We are finally seeing labour get the same treatment from the media that the tories got for the whole of their final term. At least labour will only have to suffer a few more months of it.

          • Susie says:

            There’s also the realization, that even if a policy is a good measure, Labour will fuck it up in the implementation — their placemen infested civil service will see to that.

        Of course, it DOES matter and that’s why Labour are bricking themselves right now, lying through their teeth, and even disparaging their traditional voters.

          Grumpy old man: “But they fooled the majority for 12 years.”
          ————————————–

          No they fucking didn’t!!!

          They fooled enough of the minority to win elections in an electoral system that was already massively biased in their favour through the seating boundaries.

          In the 2001 election. IF labour and the Tories had got exactly the same number of votes, labour would have won a clear majority of 66 seats, purely down to the way constituency boundaries are located in areas known to have a bias one way or another politically.

          In the 2005 election, the changes to the Scottish contituency boundries that took account of the reduced number of MP’s to reflect the increase in Scottish self determination since devalution meant that the in-built majority was reduced to 60 seats.

          For the next election I think the in-built majority has been reduced further to 44.

          Personally I do not believe that there should be ANY majority. A drawn vote should result in a hung Parliament.

          And by the very statement that people still believe there ever was a majority in favour of them, shows how well that blatant lie works!

          Parliamentary democracy has NOTHING to do with what a majority of the people want!

          Labour have NEVER achieved as much as 50% of the popular vote in a General election. Neither have the tories for that matter.

          Taking non voters into account, labour have done even worse. Labour secured only 22% support from all those eligible to vote in 2005.

          In the last national election this year, labour secured less than 5% support of all those eligible to vote.

          They fooled the Majority? You poor deluded fool. I guess you get your news from the mainstream media, don’t you?

          • Jonathan says:

            Labour is the party of the State and its employees. That’s why you still see Labour getting 25-30% in the polls. It’s bankrolled by State employee unions and businesses that have, or would like, Government contracts. Because of this, Labour always has, and always will, operate against the interests of the majority of people in this country. Every Labour Government has ended in economic disaster for Britain and a massive increase in state power.
            They are utterly vile people and must be consigned to the dustbin of history.

      “Nick – the Labour Conference is over, Ministers and delegates are packing their bags and they and Gordon Brown are heading back to their various heartlands, offices and constituencies tonight in a much better frame of mind than they arrived in on Sunday ?”

      “Yes – that’s right Jon I think that this week has certainly been a turning point in Labour’s Campaign to regain the initiative and I can tell you in confidence that senior party sources are really quite pleased with that – with Labour delegates fully re-energised and up for the coming fight and are raring to take the fight to David Cameron and the Conservatives !”

      ” The turning point really was that barnstorming speech by Peter Mandelson on Monday wasn’t it ? There was something of dire feeling of dread permeating the hall before then. But that all changed with THAT speech !”

      “Yes – it did Jon. Peter Mandelson – not a person one would think would be loved by the Labour Party but all THAT changed after his speech which totally set the conference alive !”

      ” A perfect scene setter for Gordon Brown to give that energising speech on Tuesday – again perfectly pitched at the very people Labour need to retain to deliver their fourth consecutive election win – and certainly Sarah Brown was amazing !”

      ” Yes – she was Jon – and it is obvious to me that Gordon Brown is absolutely determined to take the fight to David Cameron and win the argument with the public regarding targeted cuts aimed at preserving front-line services for those vulnerable in our Society but at the same time coupled with a firmness – a “tough love” almost of those that have been abandoned by society. All in marked contrast to the policies of the Conservatives who he says would merely cut for the sake of it putting vulnerable people at risk to the benefit of those better off in Society !”

      “All in all a pretty successful week for Labour then – Nick ? And something that will certainly prove difficult for David Cameron and the Conservatives to match next week ?”

      “Yes indeed – Jon – Labour started the week in the depths of despair – the election in their view as good as lost and David Cameron Prime Minister this time next year but after those two speeches they leave Brighton with their tails in the air and the feeling that actually – just actually – THEY might just pull off the upset of the year !”

      “And what about THAT argument with “The Sun” and Tony Woodley’s extraordinary outburst at Conference yesterday with several Ministers openly attacking the media and Peter Mandelson allegedly telephone Rebekkah Brooks to remonstrate with her!”

      “Jon – I can tell you having spoken to sources high up in the Party that they are dismissing this whole affair as something dreamt up by their opponents in the press and quite honestly whilst understanding the anger of the grass roots over this and which Ministers felt they had to comment on in the Conference Hall ; on balance the Government are fairly relaxed about the whole matter and feel that “The Sun”‘s to influence events is grossly exaggerated.As one said to me in confidence “All we ask for Nick is fair reporting without bias and as long as the BBC and other new organisations hold to that then we can’t complain ! Although it has to be said that “off the record” Jon this person,who is VERY senior within the party was incandescent at what he sees as the blatant mis-reporting of certain news organisations,and he was very quick to exclude the BBC as one of those,and how they are playing reporting this story !”

      “And – Nick – you’ll be in Manchester next week with that Conservative Conference ?”

      “Yes I am – Jon – and it will be interesting to read the mood of the delegates as they assemble on Sunday ahead of the Conference and I can tell you – in confidence – that there are some very worried faces amongst Conservatives already tonight !”

      “And – Nick -the pressure is squarely on David Cameron to give the “Leader’s Speech” of his career after the two we’ve seen this week from Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown ?”

      “ I am always very loathe to use such emotive language- Jon – but I think you may very well be right!”

    It’s a strange fact but true, that a large proportion of the populus cannot see beyond the obvious attraction of The Sun, and right it off as a non-relevance. Whilst ‘er-in-doors feels threatened by it, and prefers the DM, the circulation figures are undeniable, and it’s the very fact that it is bought by the working heartland of Britain which underlines the true signifiance of The Sun to Labour.

    Lots of comments all over the blogosphere this morning from pissed-off Leftists slagging off the Sun and its readers, who Leftists seem to think are all morons. The Left seems to have a real problem with the working classes these days – Labour needs their votes, but despises those who actually work for a living, while patronising and nannying those who are out of work and on benefits.

    From my own observations (scientifically conducted at the local petrol station and Spar shop), blokes in work boots filling up their vans with diesel buy the Sun, chav single mums go for forty Mayfair, a couple of scratchcards and the Mirror. I know which group I’d be more worried about losing if I were Gordon Brown, but with ‘Gulags for Slags’ and the anti-Sun rhetoric he looks like losing the support of both. Lovely.

    The thinking at Labour HQ seems to be that none of this will matter as long as ministers and party activists say the word ‘Etonian’ often enough on TV. Not that any Cabinet ministers went to public school of course.

    The battle lines are being drawn and alliances and pacts are being negotiated and sealed, the strategic plans of the opposing sides are starting to become evident if not fully clear.

    The general election war has begun!

    The Tories have the daily mail/sun/express/evening standard +

    The labour/libdem side has the Guardian/independent(it isnt are you?)/the BBC/the mirror +

    Some will claim a neutral role and some will actually be neutral, whats clear is that both sides need an overarching strategy and narrative.
    The BBC is starting to show its hand early, they fully realise that a labour win is impossible, they also know that a Tory win would not only be a disaster for their empire, the BBC hate and despise the right wing on a biological level, deep down the BBC comrades see no difference between the B*P and the Tories.
    To understand the deep seated pathological hatred of the BBC is easy, they are after all a leftist led and staffed organisation, the desire to keep the Tories out of power is going to guide every second of BBC output, everything the BBC does from now on will be based on trying to destroy the Tories.

    Its becoming clear that the BBC has realised that the only possible way for the left to stay in power is a leftist alliance consisting of the libdems/labour and the greens if they can get any seats, look closely at the BBC narrative from now on.
    There will be subtle messages supporting the notion of a leftist alliance, the greens will be given airtime far exceeding their electoral base, it will be direct and indirect using green issues as a vehicle for peddling green policies.
    The BBC mindset is clear ‘if it cant be labour then a leftist alliance will do’!

      Labour appear to certainly have a “death wish”. I can understand that they may be slightly peeved(understatement if ever there was one) at “The Sun” but its lunacy to start a war with the media ahead of an election campaign and just goes to show how much Brownand Party strategists have lost grip of the party activists and union leaders.Tony Woodley’s historonics may have played well in the Hall and with the comrades but is Labour really saying that they are comfortable with an image of one of their members basically ripping up a paper and sending the message that Labour is against “free speech” simply because that paper is no longer supporting them ? Someone needs to get a grip or Labour is going down to even bigger defeat !!

Blogs and Twitter are crap one minute and yet when it suits him, they are really Good Things and the reason why losing the backing of The Sun doesn’t count. Has anyone else noticed that nobody is in charge in the Labour government, any more? Harriet Harman was allowed to make a speech that was a direct attack on a leader of a foreign state (California) and nobody noticed the potential for diplomatic tensions this might cause! The last thing Labour wants or needs is another spinner. A lion tamer with a whip would be of more use to them.

            The problem the BBC has is its lazy, liberal leftie, metropolitan bias. It is clearly there, although I don’t go as far to say it supports Labour. What it does do is peddle its own version of society which is very much the agenda of your typical liberal leftie.

      Sorry that should read, Blair will be our DICTATOR by this Christmas.

      This must be why traffic wardens and other assorted “civil enforcement officers” have been recruited to replace the police, with PACE cards and the powers to arrest, detain, enter property and everything else the police do, to take over the police role when the police are drafted into a military defence force to help the army impose a totalitarian dictatorship under President Blair. They have been planning to fight a full scale civil war in this country, and the trigger is happening now. Civil control in Iraq and Aghanistan were just practice. They will be bringing that violence back to OUR streets soon.

      For fuck’s sake Ireland, VOTE NO!

          Mr Ned says:

          Dave has said that all four of the following must happen for the tories to drop their referendum on the LISBON Treaty.

          1) the Irish have to vote yes

          2) the Czechs have to ratify

          3) the Polish have to ratify

          4) it has to placed in rome fully ratified by ALL member countries.

          IF all those happen before the next general election, then there will be NO POINT in a referendum as it will already be active in law. In fact the Lisbon Treaty itself amends earlier treaties in such a way as to prevent any nation from delaying any future treaty, or rejecting future treaties with referenda.

          If Lisbon is ratified by all nations, (and labour have already ratified and placed the ratification in Rome), then having a referenda on it will be as pointless as a village parish council having a referenda on whether to change the nation’s income tax rate.

          The next Tory government would not have the power to amend or change or reject the treaty AT ALL.

          So what is the point of spending tens of millions of pounds on a national referenda on something that could not be changed whatever the outcome?

          The tories have said that they would not leave the matter there and only they know what they mean by this.

          I am NOT pre-guessing them, nor am I holding my breath that it would be anything remotely useful.

          IF Ireland votes no and we can have the tories introduce their referendum, then great. If the Irish vote yes and ratify, alongside Poland and the Czech republic, then I believe we are screwed.

          The only thing that could get me voting tory then would be an explicit promise to hold an EU, in or out? referendum with a promise that they will campaign to pull out!

          However, I have read in various places that after Lisbon is law, that such a campaign would be illegal under EU law under the newly appointed EU dictator.

          So who knows. For now I am praying for the NO vote to win.

        Mr Ned says:

        The only difference this time is that Iran really DO have weapons of mass destruction. They have extensive stocks of chemical and biological weaponry.

        However, they are legally entitled to them.

        What they do NOT have are any nuclear weapons. According to the IAEA, there is NO EVIDENCE that they are even trying to get any. ALL their nuclear material is under permanent, constant IAEA surveillance. NONE of it has been removed (for further enrichment) and none of it is of a level of enrichment required to manufacture a nuclear warhead.

        NONE of their centrifuges are capable of enriching uranium to the level of that required to manufacture a nuclear warhead.

        The so-called “secret” facility that Iran told the IAEA about last week is NOT operational and was not scheduled to be operational for another 18 months. Under the terms of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty that Iran is a signitory of, Iran did NOT have to notify the IAEA about this facility until 6 months before it was due to be operational, They had another year in which to do so. So, contrary to media hype, there has been NO hiding of this facility and the UN has been notified that it can be inspected at any time and it will be monitored permanently in the same manner as the existing facilities.

        You will not get this truthful, unbiased, fact based information reported widely in the mainstream media. Just like the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, one would find very rare snippets of truth by independent free-lance journalists expressing the horror of mid-level intelligence officers who would state that what Blair and the top brass were saying was blatant lies and could NOT be corroborated by anyone on the ground either in intelligence or the UN. Or there would be the occasional article by members of the UN itself trying for all their might to be heard above the din of hype and lies. People like Scott Ritter who has been proven to be utterly correct in his assertions that Saddam HAD been disarmed of his WMD and he posed NO threat to us, or his immediate neighbours (as the conclusion of the original, un-sexed up September dossier reported until Campbell chaired that infamous “presentation” meeting in Number 10 that turned a benign report into a 45 minutes from DOOM headline!)

        Indeed the same mainstream media that cravenly and supinely went along with and blatantly propagandised for the same lying politicians are just doing it all over again!

        We in the blogosphere are much bigger and more powerful than we were in 2003. It is time we had OUR voice heard.

        Do NOT let them get away with it AGAIN!

He also said that a Cameron Tory Government would not reverse all of the Blairite reforms in the public services

    He was a man who knew the truth about Iraq’s non existent weapons, which of course was contrary to the lies of Balir and his bullying liar in chief Campbell.

    He was appalled the Government was using lies to take the country into war in the same casual systemic way they used lies to discredit the Tory Party, or to tell us children were becoming cleverer.

    Dr Kelly was thrown to the press wolves by No 10′s press unit, and threatened with the loss of his pension by civil service yes men, desperate for Blair and Campbell’s approval.
    It says everything about the depraved nature of the BBC that bullying, lying, bloodsoaked Campbell is now a permanent fixture on its airwaves.

    Facilitate the death of a British hero who code was honour, duty, and country, and the BBC will fawn over you.

      how about all the indians your fucking government has brought in on ICTs to take british jobs

      “Thousands of IT contractors in the UK are out of work or at risk of losing their jobs because of the Government’s own immigration system. Despite the ‘British jobs for British workers’ mantra, IT workers claim that they’re being displaced by cheaper Indian workers arriving in the UK on a scheme called the intra-company transfer visa. What’s more, the Government knows this is happening and the practice is taking place on some of their own large IT projects.”

          To say we are fucked is an understatement. Selling gold at the lowest point in recorded history. That was fucked.

          Running a one-off annual deficit of 30% of revenue that is utterly fucked.

    It is because of Labours belief that Twitter, for example, will win them the election that they have spent thousands of Government money promoting Sarah Brown, to the level where she is now apparently the biggest twitterer in the UK.

    Labour have used “hard working families” money on this PR lady. The Government set up her blog, under the Number 10 masthead (from the Prime Ministers office), during the G8, as a vehicle on which they could post hundreds of photos of her with Obama’s wife. naturally the blog was linked to from the Number 10.gov site.

    Even now there is a link from the Government website to a Flikr photo gallery that consists almost entirely of photos of Sarah Brown – anyone would think she was the PM.

        English Liberation Front says:

        Nasty. So much for the party with heart. The party of equality and fairness.

        The closer they get to electoral oblivion the nastier they become.

    Dead weight says:

    If they had a “I Speak Your Weight” machine at the entrance to the Brighton Conference,these politicians and their crony followers would break the machine within half an hour – why are they all so overweight – got it cushy?

    As for Eric Pickles – can he not lose 6 stone before next week’s conference?

    Congratulations are due to the Labour Party for willing to employ an ‘ex’ drunken depressive soft porn writer, and a mortgage fiddling, lying, thieving lounge lizard, who happens to be gay, but hey that’s OK these days innit (sorry about the L word).

    Doc Trough says:

    Ainsworth on to ‘earts an’ minds and damagin’ morale. Fightin’ to win.

    C’unt wants fraggin’ – he wouldn’t get through week 1 of BMT or whatever they call it now. Not in my tender care anyway.

    The Sleeper says:

    Guido…Can’t you get hold of a clip of Ainsworth on the Beeb this morning,who, when asked about his gaffe saying buying ‘kit’ was not like getting it from M&S..then went on to suggest that soldiers were moonlighting in order to buy extra equipment in order to “look good”.?

    This is our Defence Secretary after all.

    I can fit more people into my lounge than are in the Labour conference right now.

    Oh God,a woman on now about Gorgon giving all our money to every other country and how he is a hero.

    They’ll be celebrating bank robbers next.

      Yup – ‘celebration’ is a good Noo_Lie_Bore word.

      use it frequently and to exhaustion please.

    Mandy says the Sun doesn’t matter. we’ve moved on. It’s blogs and twitter nowadays. Just so, but everywhere I turn – blogs, broadcasters and broadsheets – the main topic appears to be the Sun’s overdue change of direction.

    Digressing, there has been a deafening silence recently on McNulty, Smith, Hoon, Uddin, Scotland and all the other thieves. Are they escaping accountability for their crimes?

    Christ almighty! How many more of the dozy fuckers are they going to bring back? This is getting worse than Eastenders.

    nell says:

    I see bob aintbustinagut is ranting on about our lads buying their own kit because they want to look fashionable!!

    Spin, smear and lie . bob, kevan and his other MoD cronies have shown it’s they’re only skill haven’t they?

    So where are we in supplying helicopters and ridgebacks to Afghanistan or those night sights and mine detection kits that gordon was pretending yesterday are being provided in big numbers? On no further forward , probably next year when we can get our procurement policy to work – just as expected.

      Devil in the detail says:

      Good point Nell.

      They buy their own kit, Nell, because they might get something that works and they can trust.

      Simples !

      Squaddie to mates, “I’ve had enough of this camouflage colour, it’s sooooo last year. Let’s have a cruise round Knightsbridge and see if we can get some yummy flourescent yellow jackets. So macho, just like the builders!”

      No, I can’t imagine it either.

      Ainsworth, you’re a prize pillock.

      dagenham dave says:

      It has been common practice for years in the army, for troops to buy their own boots because the standard issue ones are shite.

      Especially the desert ones, which have soles that melt.

      Ainsworth is a Huhne.

    oldrightie says:

    The concensus of opinion here is that Labour are fucked therefore everybody is fucked. Rubbish, The Uk will pull through this nightmare one day. Hopefully with a more accountable bunch of scared people in charge. Scared that if they screw up they pay.

      OllieReeder says:

      It is certainly an alternative. Depends on the context and qualifying adjective.

      Thus, the PM remains an utter hoon.

      While dear old Bob A is, perhaps, more of a silly chump.

    nell says:

    bob aintbustinagut is apparently due to address the conference today. Is there going to be anyone left there to listen to him spin and smear against our troops in Afghanistan.

    I don’t suppose adam boulton could get hold of him as well today, and do what he did to gordon yesterday , could he?

    Rowenna Davis says:

    Can’t you just leave Gordon alone? He’s mentally ill you know.

      nell says:

      Do you know what I really think is that this labour government, gordon, mandy ,straw,the militwits, bob aintbustinagut and and on are actually overdosed on power and the troughing of our money for their personal benefit.

      Now suddenly they are in a panic as they watch the gravy train begin to pull into nowhere station and they know that in a matter of months they are going to be unloved, unwanted, despised and suffering withdrawal symptoms .

      I’ve watched them trash my country, I’ve watched them bleed the coffers dry, I’ve watched them send our young men and women to fight needless wars and without the proper equipment. I’ve listented to their perpetual lies and smears and watched them damage good people in the process.

      And I shall have not a scintilla of sympathy for them when we toss them out on their ears next year.

      No
      I say this to you
      A vote for Labour is a vote for Chumps
      Chumps voting for Chumps
      My wife has two Chumps
      The one between her legs and me *gurns*

      Actually judging by the postal vote rigging a vote for Liebour is probably 2-5 votes for Liebour.

    At no time have I ever inserted my penis into Sarahs CHUMP
    I find CHUMPS repulsive
    Horrible hairy things with curly hair
    The day I insert my cock into a CHUMP will be a warm day in Fife

    Yours

      I loved it in that report when the Chinese leader was praising socialism and then a bit later it showed the big celebration that “ordinary people” weren’t allowed to attend. Says it all really.

    The Chinese Peoples’ Liberations Army march at 116 steps per minute. That’s actually less the half than Gordon’s Labour Nations Army.

    [...] Guido* blogged this morning about the rumour of Alastair Campbell returning to Labour’s spin operation to bolster the party ahead of the general election. [...]

  149. 625
    Old Timer says:

    If what Labour have done can be proven to be Treason, could we perhaps start to hang them, and all of their supporters, from the lamposts on the weekend after the General Election ?

Max Clifford says…

“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.
