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.
I hear old Red Ken was upset.
hey – even Dave Cameron wants to close down the Al Ji Beeba
Boris looks a complete cock!
Dont give a fuck about newt boy or anyone else whining about the Beeb.
Boris. Looks. Like. A. Complete. Cock.
when he was funny (Have I got News) he was funny, but this was toecurling
The whole of “Eastenders” is toe curling. So what’s special about Boris’s ‘performance’?
he should know better ?
yeah.. all the labour guys were on the tv news complaining that he was getting free tv time! yeah, that works.
Ken were whinging as he wasn’t allowed to go on and promote one of his nasty schemes.
Which one is Boris?
good question
The one with the large breasts and ricidulous accent.
that really doesn’t help clarify it…..
The blonde one — ah, I see the problem…
Guido says : At least Ken had a reason of sorts whether you agree with it or not – what possible reason other than politicla bias compelled the Beeb to show Boris who never had a scheme or anything else to offer ?
What “reason of sorts” other than to perpetuate power for himself and his cronies?
I dont know I aint a Londoner – I am only talking about the scheme mentioned in the post (whatever it is).
Is Boris a member of the “friends of Israel” group ? Could be that I suppose
What part of ‘VOTED OUT OF OFFICE IN A FREE ELECTION’ don’t you get, Trotsky?
Liberal Democracy: it just ain’t in New Labours gene-pool.
If there’s one thing the British public despises more than cowardice (Brown), it’s a bad, ungracious loser (Livingstone).
Labour coming third (or even fourth) would be the best thing for everybody in this country.
In the past the BBC have gone out of their way to try and make Boris look bad.
The irony of calling the BBC biased now…when they have been obvious labour supporters in the past. Maybe they are now switching their bias to the conservatives as they will come to power soon. Gotta keep the party sweet who will keep their licence fee safe…
I can understand that line of thinking; but they are too heavily Left-leaning through years of specifically recruiting Lefties, and advertising vacancies only in The Guardian.
My own suspicion is that they thought that Brois the Buffoon (as they like to think of him) would make a complete fool of himself in front of an audience of millions. Now, he’s isn’t much of an actor I’ll grant, but he didn’t give the Reds any ammo in this performance.
The BBC bosses must be so diappointed that even this backfired…
Yeah, do you think that just maybe Ken’s persistent pushing for a slot on Eastenders actually ended up pissing the producers off so they couldn’t wait to stick it to him by putting Boris on at the earliest opportunity? My guess is that Ken turned nasty when the Eastenders crew wouldn’t give him airtime and putting Boris on was an act of revenge. Seems not everyone at the Beeb is a Labour luvvy.
Anyway, Ken’s response makes me laugh. Everyone has known for months that Boris was going to be on Eastenders. Ken had plenty of time to make a public complaint before the episode was ever filmed, and perhaps get it stopped. Fact is the weasely little tosser wanted Boris to get on the telly so he could make a complaint about it and use the TV news as another episode of his own moronic self-promotion.
Anyway, the newt-lover is on the Beeb every five bloody minutes, he’s got fuck all to complain about.
Maybe it is all innocent; he could have won a radio competition to appear in Eastenders or to have a choice of an actress hairdo?
Two Blonde Bombshells and not a comb in sight.
I bet Ben Bradshaw is praying that Gordon was watching Boris on East enders and not him on question time. I know Gordon dithers but if he did see Bradshaw last night then he’ll be down the job center this afternoon.
Really made my day seeing Bradshaw called a snake (though slow-worm would perhaps be better) and torn to shreds by Starkey!
But how laughable to see Theresa May try to claim that she was unaware of the pills rumour – just what planet does she want us to think she lives on – the Nasty Planet?
Starkey were absolootly blooming bootiful – spot on with every syllibuble – I believe both guys are gay
The BBC want peeps to watch the Telly on their computers at work. Watching TV on a laptop on battery power is covered by your house telly tax but if you plug the laptop (or phone) into the mains then your employer needs to buy a TV licence
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8285474.stm
I wonder if the BBC have a licence?
Is he being set up to be nicked for the murder of that character that was dumped in the shed?
“Release the Walford one”
When do we want it?
“Now”
Boris must be desperate
Don’t put your son upon the stage, Mrs Johnson, don’t put your son upon the stage……
I’ll tell ya what’s theatrical about Boris – he tried to shag Blunketts tart when he wasn’t looking – stealing a blind man’s bint – that’s desparation and high farce!
Is this the blurring of the real with the surreal and reality TV… the question I ask is why the politicians pandering to it?
well that presupposes that you regard Boris as a politician – Guido certainly does not so do.
London Mayor = politician = incumbent Boris
does he suffer from incumbency – Guido never knew.
disgraceful
Which one is Boris?
They both have the same wig supplier
The one with the c’unt.
Chump, surely….
The blonde tart
Stupid Boy
The one that tried to get a free shag at David Blunkett’s tart while he wasn’t looking
Damian! How wonderful to hear# from you! Got the injunction yet?
Haha poor Ken is moaning, Boris works on TV whilst he is a miserable ugly old toad of a man, thus would be better suited to appear on the Life of Grime
Who’s great idea was it to put the nasal voiced ken on BBC radio so he can spurt his usual bollocks?
So glad we got rid of Ken!! Boris is a thousand times better as London mayor.
Slime Watch
Boris: Show me yer tit’s Peggy.
Peggy: Ok you first!
This clip just reminded why I don’t watch this crap.
Go Boris!!! Woo!!! Red Ken can fuck off
what a twat!
He could have combed his hair, the scruffy pillock.
Or thrown his pregnant girlfriend down a flight of concrete steps… A sure-fire hit for the Metro-sexual vote.
Apologies – On another subject:
‘Ugly rumour’ referred to by Diane Abbott last night that ‘Mandelson may be parachuted into the ‘safe blood-red’ Wigan seat to replace the retiring MP, Neil Turner so that he would be in position to be elected New Labour Leader post general election.
It’s been reported (Guardian) that an all female shortlist has been selected.
Still doesn’t exclude Mandy does it?
It would have to be an ugly rumour if she uttered it ffs.
Mandy who ?
Your leader. The one we never voted for. Seriously, if this is the level on which New Labour intend to ‘insurge’ their way into power for a fourth time, I’d start hiring Blackwater for activist protection, if you haven’t already.
Anger? You ain’t felt nothing yet.
He could replace ”Mabs Cross” with Mands Cross.
http://www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk/content/History/LinkMabs.html
MAB’S CROSS, WIGAN
In spite of the rebuilding and road widening in the area, Mab’s Cross can still be seen in Standishgate, Wigan. It gets its name from the fair Lady Mabel Bradshaigh. She married Sir William Bradshaigh of Haigh Hall, Wigan, in the 14th century. They lived in the times of the Holy Wars, and in common with other Knights, Sir William went to serve his king on one of the Crusades. He was away for many years, during which time Lady Mabel heard stories of his death in a far away land. The estate was a wealthy one, but it brought little happiness to Lady Mabel. It did however, bring a number of suitors. Thanks to a bit of outside pressure, she became the wife of a knight from Wales, she presuming her husband to be dead. She was still unhappy, and busied herself in good works, distributing food to the needy. One day, whilst so engaged, she became aware of a figure in the crowd around her. The man, dressed as a palmer, bore a striking resemblance to her long lost husband. He had returned from the wars, and hearing of his wife’s re-marriage had secretly sought a way to kill the Welsh Knight and recover his land and property. He now revealed himself to his wife, and set out to slay the Welshman. He caught up with him at Newton-le-Willows and put him to the sword. For this crime he was outlawed for a time, but his service to the king, and the circumstances surrounding him ensured an early release. He was reunited with his wife. However, his wife had not fared so well. Her confessor decreed that she should walk from her home to the cross in Wigan, barefooted, and in the rags of a penitent, once in every week. Today, her effigy and that of her husband, lie side by side in the Parish church of Wigan. The stump of Mab’s Cross marks the site of her weekly trek.

Thanks for that piece of Scottish history and Guido can tell you Bradshaigh is pronounced Shuch (with the “ch” the same as in “Loch”) – BradSHUCH – thanks again, fascinating
BTW – in Scots – your shuch is your erse – so it means BIG ARSE ! (Sorry Ben Bradshaw, eh Broadshuch)
)
Not sure he is allowed to, Life Peer and all that. I think it would require a change in the law?
Viscount Stansleigh aka Tony Benn renounced his title to stand as an MP. Similar?
The truthful answer is ‘I don’t know’, but I think that Benn was an Hereditary Peer, not a Life Peer. I don’t think that Life Peerages can be renounced.
Do you really think Mandy would want to renounce it? After all there are plenty of precedents to show PM’s can be Lords, although I don’t know how that would go down in the rank and file..probably not very well if I am honest.
Just done a bit of Googling and think the following is probably the case.
1. A Peerage can be renounced, but it needs to be done so within one year of it’s acceptance which, ironically in Mandelson’s case, is today.
2. A change would be required to British law to allow a Peer to ‘resign’. Just such a change is currently being bulldozed through Parliament at the moment, in the form of the Constitutional Reform Act. It is unlikely to be passed in time for the next election, if at all.
3. Whilst it is possible for a Peer to become Prime Minister without being an MP, merely the leader of the ruling party, and previous examples of this have occurred, although never in the Labour Party. The reason for this is that the Labour party’s own constitution does not allow their leader to be anything other than an MP.
I think that the above is correct, but then again, it could be clap-trap.
I think Mandy would prefer the position of Grand Vizier to the President of the European Union rather than a few measly months as PM of a bankrupt island on the edges of the continent.
He could talk to his friend the A-G to fix that…swap one Brazilian boy for a law change…easy
What a set of chumps.
Straw has actually put such a clause in a bill due in the Autumn, leading to speculation it was specifically for Mandy.
There’s no way the man with the 20K watch is going to spend the next four years scrabbling around in Wigan. He wants to get back to Brussels and has already made clear he’ll do it ‘for the country’.
Not sure about the spelling of the last word…
He’s A Natural ! Blond That Is !
I like blondes
collar and cuffs dontcha know!
Pelmet and cutains?
Have you been peeking in the showers again?
Apart from keeping his options open for a career in TV after his term as Mayor, for what earthly reason would Boris want to appear on a soap?
To show them cockneys how to talk proper innit.
Of course, dear boy. One must excel at the intricacies of the verbiage of the sublime English language…
I bet his fly was down all the way through the shoot – he’s that kind of guy!
That was…uneventful.
Help a boy across the Atlantic, is this show supposed to be funny? At least in the US, laughtracks give away the bad comedies.
No, it’s a soap rather than a comedy. That said this was probably intended to be a comedy moment.
The comedy moment was when he put his hand over the top of his pint and declined the offer for more. Eastender’s was supposed to show ‘reality’ that was not real. Boris cannot have got that gut on pork pies alone.
I suspect the pint was not the best
If it had been a genuine pint Boris would have been on ‘Take 9′ !
It’s not real. In Walford no pub uses glass beer glasses.
Alcoholics tend to be skinny. Like Livingstone.
Nope it is a pathetic soap show on BBC1which is alleged to show the lives of East Enders – I lived in the East End for many many years and it was never like this.
The show thrives on tragedy, bed hopping and everyone seems to have enough money to always go to the pub and eat in the local cafe as opposed to eating at home.
As it is run by the BBC it has all the “right on” stuff like gays, blacks murders and anti-police storylines.
I want to know why they dont show the Muslim terrorists in the neighbourhood and the spitting Bangladeshi’s on the WHitechapel Road.
TV soaps and dramas are like THAT – let’s face it in Weatherfield everything centres on “The Rovers” and as for “Midsomer Murders” – Christ half the population of the village are murderers and the other half victims – my fear is that unfortunately for 26%(rings a bell that figure)of the adult population thinks “Eastenders” is a documentary !!
Would the 26% you are referring to be the decent ordinary people with low IQs and high ideals whose hopes, fears and ignorance are cynically exploited by a small coterie of vile, perverse and self-seeking individuals to cynically aggrandise themselves – aka the Labour Party?
Of course it is fiction, there are no Antipodian barmaids.
The same 26% that still intend voting Liebour at the next election, perchance?
Yeah. And if that Angela Lansbury ever writes you a letter asking if she can come and stay then run a fucking mile.
Watch out for those picaninnies old boy!
It is the first time I have seen anyone smile in east enders.
I’m surprised he didn’t push her out the way, leap over the bar and try to mount the two young blondes.
They were his reflectons in the double mirror behind the bar!
I just vomited over my keyboard.
actully he didnt look out of place
A white man with blonde hair in east london – shurely shome mishtake.
WTF?
Next week: Ed Balls on Emmerdale
‘milking’ a bull.
Suse me???
Bliar & Brown on Crimestoppers ?
12 out of 10 on the Vomit-o-meter
Nor would you be aafter receiveing millions from the lizard masters in doing their bidding bringing the NWO ever nearer and destroying England – bastard that he is.
Ian Hislop displayed the correct measure of contempt for Blair about that ‘bovvered’ clip on HIGNFY.
‘Iraq War? Rigged dossier? Hundreds of thousands killed? Bovvered? Me? Bovvered? Do I look bovvered?’
Hislop generally manages to hold it together but he was spitting.
Now there’s a thought!
Derek and Rodney Trotter on Question Time?
They were on last night: Ben Dover and David Phil Mc Craken
Cushty.
This time next year, Rodderney, I’ll be a multi-multi-millionaire.
Crusty.
Made it to 14 seconds. Christ alive.
Horrible. Just horrible.
Hey Guido
Any truth in the rumour that in revenge for La Marr’s rough shagging of Brown last Sunday, that it’s only a matter of time before that in cold revenge some backbencher will use Parliamentary privilige to expose the winged eared one for issues he’s paid good money to keep out of the public domain?????
No they’re: too shy, shy, oo oo ai do ai
What is this about Marr? It says on ‘his’ Wiki page that he took out some injunction.
He has used the timidity of the courts to use superinjuctions to prevent publication, or the reasons for the injuction to be broadcast about his private life, ie shagging out of wedlock.
One of the conditions of the super-injunction is that you are not even allowed to report that there is an injunction in place at all. You have to pretend nothing happened and say nothing even if what was intended to be said is true.
Didn’t stop Guido!
http://order-order.com/2008/01/18/story-you-wont-get-from-bbc-guardian-or/
Then I suggest we use an alternative word ..suggestions anyone?
Whilst we are at it,could we consider replacing the well trodden word ‘Hoon’ with the New Labour /fightback/ for hardworking families/the Tories are merely Waffen SS in suits/it was only a joke/ well I never said it word/…….Chump?
I always thought he was a sasauge jockey
Google “Marr, Alice Miles”.
Or just go to Guido’s wikipedia entry
She always did
Who needs DNA tests – Have you seen the love-child’s ears?
In forim in forim thevall gotitin forim
Looks like he got it in for himself !!!!
Boris is far too cheerful for Eastenders – they need gordon to help maintain their usually depressing atmosphere.
next week
“Bitter, Prime minister”? “No I’ll have two glasses of water and a packet of valium”
Boris bumbling on a crappy soap is a lot less offensive than the Alastair Campbell makeover that Watchdog provided.
Shows that power is shifting. I used to get upset in the early years of NuLabour at the amount of exposure they (Labour politicians) got in stunts like this – I thought it was evidence of BBC bias. I still think the BBC is biased, but the fourth estate also tips it hat at power and it appears that even the BBC assumes a Tory victory is on the cards and is cutting its cloth accordingly.
Yes, but don’t you feel the architect of the change is self preservation rather than any of the beeboids having seen the light.
Someone mention on a previous post about the BBC agenda to obtain ‘anything other than the Tory’s’ and watch for the pushing of the Green Party agenda to hopefully obtain a hung parliament.
Last night on QT did you notice the ‘Green’ plant questioner in the audience about how in his town the agenda was being set by the Green party? Watch for more of this.
Talking of bias, the Sun is reporting that the Tories are on 60% amongst its readership.
Given that Labour were in deep shit even when the papers were on-side, with the papers turning against them I expect carnage in the Labour vote.
I think the Labour vote was over estimated.
On the day of the Sun Poll all the Labour trolls were absent from this site, voting busily.
the problem is the silent majorty , do not unestamate them

Shhh…You don’t have to shout bob
Silent Bob Don’t you mean?

For balance, get Gordon on Last of the Summer Wine, shove him downhill in a bath or something. Or off a cliff.
Offa dyke?
He wouldn’t fit in an average bath, it would have to be a jacuzzi.
This isn’t going to do Boris any good at all. Gordon would be better off doing a cameo role in The Simpsons.
Er, I forgot – Bliar has already done that.
O/T but
there’s been some comment this week about the pink colour that backed the new labour conference. some of you will also know that pink is the colour of ‘vanish’ – the clothes cleaner.
http://www.vanish.co.uk/
so my only summation is that new labour are about to vanish, disappear over the horizon for good – sometime soon – let’s hope so
a deep clean ?
It’s windowlene pink. The stuff they smear on the inside of shop windows when the business has gone bust.
That’ll be right.
Crikey – what an appalling display of so-called “acting”.

Boris was OK though.
Boris is not an actor, Boris is Boris!
Boris isn’t much of a footballer either…
I get confused dontcha know , I thought iwas at school playing rugger, and it was only a bloody german
I think that was pretty much his ‘defence’ verbatim when challenged on HIGNFY.
Boris is all very well but we must remember that above all this is a political website – so fun over folks, yeah ?
Piss off, Trotsky. You smell like the 1970s.
Picture a world beyond sight and sound…
Why If As You all Say The BBC Is Biased Towards Lie-Bore, Did They Refuse Red Ken , But Allow Boris On Eastenders ? Why Do They Let Boris? William Hague Chair Have I Got News For You ?
I’m Not A Fan Of The BBC And I Too Would Like It Shut Down Or Sold Off !
‘Cos Boris and Hague are funny. Whereas the earnest little socialists are just lemon-sucking humourless jackasses.
That’s why.
They’re only unintentionall funny as when Brown claims he’s being/been ‘prudent’ or ‘saved the world’ or ‘curing cancer’ or somesuch laughable idiocy that tumbles from his slack, gaping gob.
Although I think they’ve had Ken on HIGNFY in the past.
Did anyone else see “This Week” with Brillopad after QT?
I think a little bit of the BBC Liebour bias may have evaporated, the whole show was going on about how they are basically fucked and have no chance at the election, how Broon is a dead man walking etc….
Stand by for the complaints…
Brillo has been the only one who has consistently got stuck into Labour even before the recent mass falling of scales from the eyes.
VOTE NO IRELAND , NO MORE A DOMINION.
If Ireland says yes, guess who will be making a comeback, none other than Tony Blair, master of the universe.
I would have thought that EU flag burning is gonna cause a right eadache for the environment nazis
I like the article by Jeff Randall in the Tetegraph on the performance of “the Saviour” of the World Economy, excellent journalisim.
It’s refreshing to read Randall telling the truth but until that truth makes it onto the BBC, the Grauniad and The Mirror you will still get utter imbeciles like the vox-pop twat at the Labour conference who still proclaims that ‘Brown was an excellent chancellor’.
Jeff Randall is one of the few journalists who tell it like it is. He presses for answers and keeps on pressing until he gets one. That’s why Gordon got in such a huff. Jeff Randall’s expression afterwards was priceless.
Labour scrapping id cards? unless you want a drink that is

The Men in White Vans will be cheering this on as they thunder up the M 20 loaded to the gunnels with smuggled booze.
What a good night of telly. Ben Bradshaw being made to look like a Cu*t,the obviouse dislike of Mandy by the QT audiance and on the PS Diana Abbot getting stuffed by a Black female barrister who knows what she is talking about.
I didn’t get her name but I would make her Attorney General anytime.
I missed that – but it sounded like a very entertaining night.
Constance Briscoe – she was excellent and gave Diane Abbott a few salvoes along the lines of your govt has had 12 years to sort this out
Abbott was left with a pretty poor defence that she was only a backbencher
She would be great on QT
Bradshaw was useless as usual – David Starkey was at his most cutting – good stuff
Briscoe was very good – she sees the bad side of the east end every say, whereas Abbot sees only the good side.
Starkey made some excellent points, even if his style can be somewhat annoying.
Question time is usually a waste of time but for me the best bits came from David Starkey (Historian)… on Brown Economic policies….. would have failed an ‘O’ level paper in it etc.. etc.
First the Sun, now even the BBC toadying on Eastenders no less (obviously just starting to panic over the imminent regime change and what it mean for them).
Isn’t this the sort of thing with the ladies what got him in trouble last time?
The difference is Boris could walk into an east end pub and order a pint, if red Ken tried that he’d be thrown through the window (closed)
Oh! BoJo No!
Have the new rules about ‘product placement’ come in then??? Cos Boris looks a right ‘product’ – and this is blatant PROPAGANDISING and shouldn’t oughta be allowed.
Pity you weren’t around in ’97 – we could have done with your analytical perception then.
genius,the boris is a star,hopefully he will stay in politics,he must now be getting offers for big film roles.
dave for corrie?
there are many many people jealous of his charisma and hair.
Lets get Gorgon Broon on telly then.Cant they get him a role in casualty, where unfortunatly he gets hit by a recycling lorry , and is picked up with a bucket and spade ?
