Hislop Bitch Slaps Yvette on Inheritance Tax
Bit late with this. Can’t understand why Tory spokesmen don’t make this point more often – Labour thought cutting inheritance tax was such a bad idea that they copied it. Doh!

Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”
Lovely. Opposition’s job being done for it.
Hislop for PM.
Government fogs up debate by throwing round theocratical accusations and denying factual statements.
It’s a really worn-out record, isn’t it?
Never mind, Cooper can be a hypocrit in opposition soon. If she retains her seat.
She used the words ‘not my fault’ in reference to her being in cabinet
At least the strange lady boy realises some one is at fault.
Labour’s Britain, where there is blame, there’s a claim
Guido,
Browns “health report” wasn’t released by Brown.
Interesting times.
Was it social services?
Perhaps Jack Straw or Darling finally noticed that under Brown they would lose their jobs ?
He is maybe being ‘retired’ by those in the Labour Party not convinced that hangning on to Brown is much of an election strategy.
Mandelson is probably chuckling tonight along with Johnson and Miliband.
Brown’s eyesight seems to affect his judgment when it comes to his choice of mates, too.
You simply could not make this pile of dog poop up!
Oh. Wrong thread. Soz.
It wasn’t my fault either, I’m not to blame, blame someone else.
Fucking BBC toadying up to Liebore
Hislop was doing Dimbleby’s job for him.
The BBC’s gone very quiet. Wonder why.
1. BBC is a fucking labour loudspeaker
2. Cooper is toast
3. Osborne is the WEAKEST LINK
Not much of a tax break when you have to die to “enjoy” it, now let’s see, which shall I chose £400,000 tax saving for my heirs and assigns or life?
Hislop Is A Big Lie-Bore Man ! Do You Really Want Him As PM ?
As a long-term reader of Private Eye I can safely say Hislop is rather far removed from being a lie-bore luvvie.
Hislop isn’t Labour, but you ceratinly are.
Cretinously, shurely
Don’t call me Shurely!
What A Twat Me A Lie-bore Man? Put Your Name Up You Coward !
if your name really is STUPIK HUNT, I’d recommend deed poll.
Practice what you preach, idiot.
I think that there is going to be a lot of fog coming down over the most pressing issues in my opinion.
I.S., I think you’re right. Liebore has a lot to hide, and will do it’s best to hide it. They are cynical enough to fill the country’s books with unexploded bombs and off-balance sheet fiddles which may take years to unravel.
And that’s before they start on the smearing….
When Labour knows for certain that it will lose, and they do have a lot to hide, will the ‘civil servants’ who participate in the cover-up, for example, by manning the shredders be criminally indictable?
Strictly speaking, the civil servants take their instructions from ministers. It has been suggested that Brown systematically cleared all the civil servants who wouldn’t toe his line, or offered contrary opinions or advice, out of the Treasury during his tenure (that’s where he recruited McBride, who was originally a Whitehall civil servant). Ken Clarke has made comment about the politicisation of the civil service. If that is true, it might make the next Chancellor’s first few months ‘interesting’ to say the least.
Engineer, your point is valid, that is why i keep writing to Cameron for him to inact in the first weeks of the new parliamenta responsibility clause for ministers, so they can be held legally accounatballe for mistakes made when in office.
This move would bring parkiament and the people closer together, but more impoirtantly we can stop any time bombs placed by Labour and get those bastards who have ruined our country before a court of law for their crimes.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they have been actually stealing money on a large scale, not the odd bath plug.
remember when he knocked over Mary Archer on QT
Sorry got to rush Laila’s dancing soon
How is the protest going lol
She’s not bad looking for a Asian, I’d give her one.
Her parents are Moroccan, since when has Morocco been part of Asia? You must be another product of Labours education policy.
her mother is India, I guess geography has suffered under Labour. Your are obviously one of their chosen selected few who failed also
I think I’ll record the repeat for posterity. The BBC / “independent” producer does have a habit of taking down these clips from youtube though.
Hislop was fantastic in this clip.
FACT
Whatever Yvette Cooper says is a load of BALLS.
FACT
New hairstyle makes her ever so slightly more shaggable, though after Ed’s been there …..
I’d shag her, but she would have to wear a gag!
There was much more to that Question Time Guido.
You could see that Mrs Balls for the first time realised that the game was up. Even a carefully selected BBC Question time audience were hostile to both her and Labour.
not that hostile. There were plenty of labour stooges in the audience.
For a BBC selected audience, that was a HOSTILE audience. Trust me I have been a QT viewer from the start. It was much better when it went out live though.
Do we know how much is ending up on the cutting room floor?
Has anyone been to a recording, then watched and compared the resulting output?
IIRC
IIRC, it’s filmed only an hour or two before it airs, is it comprehensively re-edited or just watched through for compliance issues?
Post Production hat on: You couldn’t do a comprehensive re-edit in a couple of hours. You could take out seconds here and there of course to get the duration right. Editing people discussing something isn’t like doing a football montage at the end of match of the day. In programmes like QT, even editing small sections will have knock on continuity problems that can take a long time – or be impossible – to resolve. So they wouldn’t even try with such a short turnaround. It’ll be filmed, played out just to check for any obvious glitches, legal/compliance implications or (if the duration is too long by a few seconds) get rid of any pauses that don’t add anything. Any real editing jiggery-pokery take many hours (usually days) of sitting in a darkened room somewhere off Wardour Street… If this is recorded and goes out a couple of hours later it can’t be done.
A comprehensive edit would be impossible in a couple of hours, one thing you could do would be to manipulate the audience reaction – reduce the volume/duration of applause for things you dissaprove of, increase them for ones you do. You could turn a 5 minute standing ovation into a few scattered handclaps.
Balls Cooper – the most lightweight useless waste of the planet’s supply of oxygen.
What is it about her fake smile that makes me want to drive to one of those god awful out of town “sports” warehouses and buy a baseball bat and rearrange her and that Hitler nonentity.
Surely the Tories just need to have one party election broadcast – a repeat of HIS labour conference speech (the worst made by any govt minister ever) and HER toe curling look when someone does not quite agree with the little shit’s own point of view.
Yuk
Because it is the right thing to do. Why don’t anyone interviewing her say in your fucking warped opinion you ugly little Hunt.
She reminds me of a girl in my class who had nits.
Well said Guido.
This most awful government EVER has had to suffer the WORST oppositon EVER.
Vote UKIP at least they oppose.
When ? And what about ?
So it is official then.
Gordon Brown’s dessert Island record is.

Seem strange to me that whilst the Socialists keep harping on about Investment.
Yet Yvettes husband is planning £2bn of cuts in Educashun.
And to-day they reveal that the TA are to limit (STOP) training for 6 months.
To save a huge £20m!!!!
Not like we are at War?
No cuts in the Shiny Suit Brigade at MOD HQ. You know the ones that fuck every procurement issue, and blame the Uniforms. They are totally incompetent tossers.
You could more than halve the MOD Community, and things would actually get better!
And Brown says that every Resource has been and will be given to the troops in Afghanistan. He hates and despises the Armed Forces. It is blindingly obvious.
Bastard, Mutant, Weirdo.
As a member of the T.A. I am appalled that our training has been cut again. How are we wexpected to be ready for a call up if we are not trained? It seems that there is always money for scroungers,criminals,civil servants.M.P.s and the other useless parasites who infest our once great nation but when it comes to supporting those of us who get up off our backsides and serve our country eeven in the small way that we do we are told to f……. off!
Brown’s Britain, reward the lazy the stupid and the criminal but shit on the decent!!!!
The MOD is still run at the manning levels required, in the event of a war, to get a truck load of paperwork from the nice people at national insurance and HMRC and send every male between the ages of 18 and 40 their call-up papers.
Unfortunately for them this could all be done by one person with the a single DVD and a enough printer paper in a weekend. They’re prepared for a WWII call-up with WWII technology. They need the same modern technology applied to their P45s.
I reckon I could do it in a week and I’d pay for the privilege of firing the sorry fuckers arses. And, with the on the job training I’d acquired, I would be quite prepared to run the disc on the million or so bed-wetters Brown (and 60bn quid of borrowed money per year) has hired since 2002. For free.
One man. One computer. One million envelopes. I could save this country 100bn quid by the end of the month. Just give me a big enough printer.
650 x 12 x 500 = £3.9m is given to MPs tax free each year as an extra for food. Thats outside of all salaries and allowances and no receipts are needed. They increased it from £400/mth right in the middle of the expenses theft exposure, because they claimed it was terrible having to live off rations.
Don’t forget that it was announced by eddy Balls last may/June time that he was bringing forward from 2010 a £2M spend on education this September. So that cancels out the cut he’s making next year, he still spends the money. More smoke and mirrors they must take the tax payers for a bunch of Hoons.
He looks like Martin Borman,acts like martin Borman,and has a leader like Martin Borman. I repeat Gordon Brown is the most dangerous man since Adolf Hitler.
He gives me insomnia. I have nightmares about Gordon Brown
Naaaahh. That was Tony Blair. He could have fired this incompetent jackass any time he liked.
But, oh, look, apart from the social, moral and economic well-being of the Uk there’s something much more important to consider.
Me.
The fact that he didn’t must mean that MacDoom knows where the bodies are buried!
How else can he pay for the £3m refurb of his own department.
“
Now hundreds of thousands of pounds of our money has been spent on a grand staircase made from glass and surgical steel. There is a new massage room, and a ‘contemplation suite’.
Designer furniture is being shipped in from Italy while work surfaces in the kitchen area are made from imported black granite. At least when the then Lord Chancellor Lord Irvine was going on a spending spree over the extravagant wallpaper for his private apartment he showed a sense of history – and we weren’t struggling with a recession at the time.”
Well done Ian, saw it, and he was great. She got so flustered she had to tuck her heavily laquered hair behind her ear.
I thought she was about to burst into tears. What was it that Paula Yates called him?
the sperm of the devil
He called Paula Yates a trollop. Good judge of female character, Ian Hislop.
Ahhhhhh. Hair behind the ear. The porn-photographer’s-blow-job hair cut. So that it doesn’t obscure the camera’s view of all the action.
And the hands and elbows clamped to the desk to avoid the natural urge she obviously has to get her finger out and start wagging it in your face.
Like I said. Butter wouldn’t melt in her crotch.
But typical of Labour to get the guuuurls out and rely on years of gender conditioning to avoid somebody tearing them the whole new arsehole they deserve or punching their teeth straight down their mendacious, disingenuous gobs.
To jgm2. you are absolutelty right about gender conditioning.Men have been taught to treat all women with kid gloves instead of treating them as equals.We are not allowed to be nasty to them even if they are nasty to us. Well times are changing!!Time to be judgmental . Treat the good women with the respect that they deserve and treat the bad women as the scum that they are!!!!
And, by the way, she couldn’t even get that simple instruction right. Hislop had got her so riled the pointy finger (or rather the jabby thumb was straight off the table but note she wasn’t pointing at apolitical Hislop. Naaaah. It was all about Osborne. Get your fucking class-war message out there.
All dressed up like some eighties power-woman but without the big perm. Attempting to exude presence with her body positioning and big Ming-the-Merciless fucking outfit.
What evil, cold-hearted, self-serving bastards this government vomits into the limelight.
So I just went off to google Ming-the-Merciless so I could illustrate what I meant by Von Coopers wardrope.
And what did I find but the ten best evil cartoon characters or somesuch. But incredibly, who was number one?
None other than Gordon Brown….
http://marvel.com/universe3zx/images/thumb/5/52/DrDoom_Head.jpg/440px-DrDoom_Head.jpg
It’s uncanny.
Ummmm. I like the adjustable medical jaw sling. Quite handy for shaving I guess?
Wish Someone Would Bitch Slap Hislop !
Nope, he can carry on doing that all day long. Shame the likes of Cooper don’t get that sort of stick in interviews.
Is that you Ed? Don’t take your vile wife’s humiliation so personally.
Are you the LIE-BORE weekend stand-in for Master Baiter, Charles Hardcheese, the Guido impersonator or that other little scrote of the blogosphere, Speedo the Weedo?
Just asking, like.
Great, I saw it – that woman!!
I do think the Tories should get this point over a bit more
ICM poll in tomorrows NOW shows a 19% lead for the Tories over Labour. The second highest lead ever recorded by ICM.
It looks like Cowardly Brown’s exit strategy is well-timed. He will be off before he is totally humiliated.
The c unt is not gonna give us the satisfaction is he. COWARD !
If so a snap GM will have to be called and Tally-Ho will be PM by Christmas.
I’m still unsure about Tally-ho but I’ll keep the fireworks through Guido fawkes day.
Love Hislop as always (i’m in the minority, apparently).
Hate Cooper.
Once again the likes of Cooper merely see ‘us’ as “ordinary people”.
I hope she and Balls are on the other end of the recession when they lose their seats.
However, their tickets on the gravy train to Brussels are probably already booked in advance – 1st class, of course.
You are in the majority. We all love Hislop. Particularly when he rips some Labour turd a new arsehole.
When you put it like that Mark Oaten is a huge fan too.
I prefer to take a Maserati
Makes your eyes water a bit, though. Lots of KY needed – I understand.
In the minority? You must be joking! Hislop (as said above) is great. Not the most handsome man in the world – but looks aren’t everything. He ripped in to Cooper, and left dimbers gasping!
I reckon Pravda have Hislop and Starkey on because they think that anyone who questions the Left must be ‘eccentric’ and that seeing them will put people off the Conservatives. Of course, like all their plans it has gone badly wrong.
They’ll be down to Wossy and extras from the One Show quite soon.
It rings a bell as I remember the BBC saying they were having ‘problems’ finding new panellists for QT a few years ago — I now realize the ‘problem’ was finding people who wouldn’t disagree or embarrass with whoever represented Labour on the panel.
She has all the presence of an automated speaking clock, crossed with the tired cliches from the current NuLab vocabulary.
Perhaps Hislop ought to have asked her about her expense claims and if she has made arrangements to limit the Treasury’s take of her children’s inheritance.
“It’s the right thing to do…..”
As much Charisma as a dog having a shit our Mrs Ed
You’re right, Genghiz. She and Mr Ed have worked their way into the elite 3000 she was talking about on expenses alone. In the happy event that they dropped dead tomorrow, they would leave way over £1 million.
Labour Party Officials don’t pay IHT or CGT
They don’t pay penalties or Interest on wrongly filed Tax Returns either.
As Hazel Blears well knows.
Labour Party hierarchy are exempt from standard TAX laws and rules in THEIR country.
Fact!!
Didn’t she go on and on…Mr Ed needs to give her a good seeing to…with something big, maybe his head?
If it was me, I would use a baseball bat!
Watched it live on Thursday night – it was a rather fun programme, and not just for this wonderul item – Mrs. Ballsup kept trotting out manifesto claptrap to show how evil the Tories are etc and it got to a point where she needed a good smack just to shut up and answer a question in a relatively straight way. She looked a complete twerp, and richly deserved this. It is a shame that there aren’t a few more prepared to stand up and humiliate the pompous champagne socialists and list THEIR endless troughing. Ditto their family backgrounds and education in public schools – Harperson being another prime example of sheer barefaced hypocrisy. They are educated as well as any so-called Tory Toff and pretend otherwise to get the traditional voters on side. Might be interesting to have some more of the regulars on HIGNFY team on Question Time to remind them all how the common herd perceive them.
How to deal with Cooper, “just like this”
Yvette (like Jacqui “I am completely hopeless and out of my depth with a schoolgirl grasp of economics”) is the most bloody awful woman. She and her toe-rag husband typify all that is completely useless about Labour… how condescending. WHAT HAS SHE EVER ACHIEVED – except maybe having Balls take her up are a–se?!?
Balls buggars Cooper, Mandelson buggars Brown, Brown buggars the economy.
They’re just a load of buggars.
I didn’t know it was those brown wings he was talking about
People like her are proof that Britain has become a land fit for halfwits !
I personally prefer the phrase “a land ruled by halfwits” and calling her a halfwit is almost a bleedin compliment.
Dont’ stop with Y and J, there’s Harpic the Hater, the Nessies Scotchland and Uddin, and whole sludgepit full of slime and dross.
Put them on the list…
Maaaan this happened 48 hours ago – that was before Obama won the nobel peace prize, before Gordon was revealed be a big fat lying fucker, again, before my carefully matured sloe vodka was matured. And then drunk. I find you need to give it a good ten days. Old news.
But still fun. That cooper is wretched eh?
BTW, betcha Labour go into the election with…. HARRIET as our PM….
She’s desperate.
Please, God, let it be Hattie.
No thanks – Hattie to take over AFTER the election in order to ensure defeat in 2014/2015.
Brilliant work from that feller from the Communards. They should have him on every week.
Anyone know why the Beeb decided to focus on this particular clip? Funny though it was, it’s not really what we’ve come to expect from the beeboids.
She reminds me of the little girl off BBC’s Outnumbered programme.
She reminds me of a dog I once saw eating it’s own vomit.
Her face reminds me of the time I approached a dock tailed bull dog going up an escalator
I’m sure she reminds me of someone from a porn film
What, the donkey?
A money shot would only improve her looks.
now if we can have a succession of these. sod the leader debates just have all the bumblers taken down a peg. a starists version fo the stocks if you will.
PLEEASE make it Flint next!!!
Iain Hislop is one of the outstading people our country has produced in the past 20 years!
Agreed. A friend of mine was sitting opposite him on a train to Edinburgh and said he was a great man. He’s a national treasure.
I missed the programme… I missed it! Shame.
All he’s saying is that they’re both the same – Labour Tory Scum and Tory Tory Scum.
He’s saying nothing of the sort you UKIP turd.
Vote Tory or get five more years of Brown. Whether you like it or not, it’s the only choice facing us at the next election.
My choice is UKIP
Anonymous – You could do with some lessons in logic. Your post does not prove your point.
Well, I wouldn’t go so far as “scum”. It’s more your Labour Pretend Tories vs your Tory Pretend Labours.
Of the two I think your Labour Pretend Tories have done rather less pretend Torying than your Tory Pretend Labours have done pretend Labouring. In addition your Labour Pretend Tories have done a bit too much covert Stalinism, covert Maoism and covert National Socialism – well note very covert actually – than the Tory Pretend Labours have done covert Tebbitism.
And the Cooper/Balls record “They’re just nasty” is getting boring. Couple of infantile adults who want to infantilise adults.
I’ll give you 10/10 for writing that. I know it makes sense.
Very true.
However it would be nice if we all spent much more effort trying to work out WHY this is the case instead of simply finding different ways of stating the obvious.
Could it be that the people who have always run from the top all of our main stream political party’s simply decided to make it this way?
Never before has a British government so clearly achieved all of the bad things it promised, while dismally failing to achieve any of the good things.
Which would not have been so evil in the extreme if it had not also deliberately avoided a referendum on the single biggest change in the constitution since 1066.
You know, there’s an article in Dailymail I was just reading. I’ll put link in.
If only we could have this implemented with a euro referendum I reckon we’d be sailing.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1219526/David-Camerons-philosopher-king-explains-party-help-betrayed-Labour.html
Don’t understand why the Tories don’t just say it how it is on Europe.
There will be no Referendum. Brown signed our rights away after all the other leaders in Lisbon. He did it without fanfare, and in a private ceremony. Despite Labour having promising us a Referendum.
Brown did the dirty, because they knew that a Referendum would stop the European Plan. Blair having bought a job as President by ceding the ‘British Cheque’.
Cameron has no intention of holding a Referendum on Europe. It is merely an attention grabber. But why isn’t he honest enough to say there won’t be one because Brown has already stitched us up?
Brown has all the charisma, charm, and personality of a pot of bacteria infested diet yoghurt.
Repay your Brothers Cleaning Scam you Thief!!!
Robin-Whether he says there won’t be a referendum or now-the result will eventually be the same. Civil war with patriots outnumbering traitors 9/1.
Also if you are a patriot don’t vote for liblabcon
The main beneficiary of Tory plans for IHT is likley to be the grandchildren of people who die with large estates because they bought their houses in 1954 or earlier.
So they get their student loans paid off and can buy a flat or house and not need to live on Housing Benefit.
Sounds good to me!
It would be good to know where these people tend to live and whether there are enough of them to swing key marginals…
Everytime gayboy Ben Bradshaw goes on he contradicts himself, watch his previous appearances.
you are right, i mentioned his performance on QT the previous week, The imbecile could not make any valid comment except to try and bash the Tory party, it was really pathetic listening to him pretending he had never heard of Roman Polanski and had no opinion on the story of him fucking a thriteen year old.
Reason being STonewall and Peter Tatchell all want the age of gay sex where they fuck little biyy’s tight bottoms lowered. Not their bottoms juist teh age.
The search for teh gay gene goes on and when it does the world will be a better place.
Am just watching QT on BBC i-player. I have a terrible confession to make: Sarah Teather gives me the horn.
I bet you’re a big fan of Lord of the Rings.
Know what you mean, nice rack!
She does have a naughty elfin-like quality about her…..way too sexy to be a Lib Dum.
Agreed , though her face suggests one of her hobbies is ramraiding on a Vespa.
A cruel thing to say. Wish I’d thought of it.
LOL
That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard today!
I can’t take the credit it was originally by W.C. Fields
No. Sarah Teather looks like another one who was dragged into this world with her face stuck in the ventouse.
There’s only one Libby for me and she was Arkwright’s best customer.
Yeh, know what you mean. I feel the same way about Theresa Villiers…I know it’s wrong but I just can’t help it.
Maybe the vespa has a villiers engine?
A fine motor, the Villiers. First engine I experimented on.
Tuscan Tony-Do you think she knows anything about Blowers?
My dear old thing….oh, look, a bus! What fun…
I’d hardly call a 4.5litre Bentley a bus. Henry. Tsk
I recall a poster here pointing out that the lovely Sarah is a useful addition to any debate as her head is at the perfect height for balancing your pint on while the men talk serious stuff.
And they say chivalry is dead…..
Kenneth Kendal, he gives me the ‘Horn’!
She always reminds me of a young Queen Victoria!
If you look closely you can see her pale unhealthy skin going a rather unpleasant shade of red with embarrassment. She really did not like it at all.
Trogs; spot on! She always ‘gulps’ too…
Fear of being seen as an absolute nobody.
Tried to be liked at school, and failed miserably.
I’m glad that she gulps.
I know, I know, I can’t help it, but I really would like to have a go on her.
Killers; she’s not worth it – just look at the sort of prat (well the last time that is) you’ll be compared against!
Come on my friend – be reasonable!
You know it makes sense you rascal…
GULPING IS NOT SEXY!
Hmmmm…
She does put up a bit of a hissy fight, but Hislop has the upper hand doesn’t he! Good man that!
So…….. that’s where that silly man Balls is failing in his job I suppose, as well as being a ‘miniscule for kiddies’, which may be a sort of job he’s ‘cut out’ for.
Gulping is defineitely a sign of membership of the Cs and Ds I’m afraid.
You’ll need the shots afterwards, though.
Not embarrassment. Pure malicious anger that a mere person challenged her!
She was seething that IH had the memory to challenge her so many times!
She is very clever, and very devious. Hence the double dipping on the expenses.
Had it not been in Camera, then she would have ordered a Dr Kelly walkabout for the troublesome Irk!
Picnic anybody?
I want to see that ashen-faced Mr Potato Head pillock in the audience again. The one whose parents were teachers and brainwashed him to be a communist twat.
“…..you can see her pale unhealthy skin.”
I’m willing to bet you can’t see her reflection in the mirror either.
Cooper stuck to her line and got out her the Labour party soundbite, despite Hislop whipping up the crowd and exposing the hypocrisy of Labour’s policy on inheritance. I actually think she is one of the better young Labour cabinet ministers. She’s bright (former Kennedy Scholar to Harvad), articulate and more honest than most Labour idiots. I think she might even be a future Labour leader, probably after D.Milliband gets thumped in 2014. Her main problem is her Balls.
I see you never knowingly understate your case.
She can’t be that bright if she thinks socialism is the answer (q.v. communist dictators, etc.)
From one woman to another, Yvette Cooper is absolutely vile! And Hislop made a very good try at embarrassing her – and her capacity to lie is so strong that I reckon he made a pretty good fist of it!
It’s almost impossible to shut her up – she just keeps talking. I’ve heard her on Newsnight when she done a duet with the interviewer and opposition spokesperson. I was a bit disappointed she was still talking as the clip ended. Hislop did well though!
Social services should be informed. If the cow is’nt able to feed herself, what in god’s name are her children living on.
Eat something you fucking bitch.
Yvette Cooper is one of those ‘females’ where ones desire to stick it in the gob hole, is notably greater then for the other one, sorry two.
This of course is for fairly obvious reasons, by the sound of it. Which is good news for Mr Balls, but not at all exclusively so, if rumours are to be believed.
Fist?
Dreadful image.
Some commentators have been claiming that the conservative victory at the next election will still not be as big as Blairs in 97. I disagee the Labour party are going to get fucking hammered at this election, fucking hammered I tell you.
Yes. I hope so.
We ordinary folk who find ourselves fighting to get care in the NHS , pensioners who’ve worked all their lives in order to support mp’s and lords in their troughing lifestyles, families who have given up their children to fight in the armed forces , ill-equpped and poorly supported in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
Yes I really hope Labour are going to get hammered at the next GE.
If the PM was paid what he was worth then my paperboy would get paid twice as much as this PM.
It’s not just the paperboy who is worth more than this lying troughing useless government.
The sewage worker, the street cleaner, the bin men – they all have honorable jobs that are essential and valued.
The balls, coopers and browns do nothing for us other than cost us extreme sums of money.
Yes they will be hammered but thanks to their gerrymandering, they will still manage to get more MPs elected than if the Conservatives would have if they where in Liebour’s position.
….and their ballot box stuffing – postal votes anyone
Which 3000 folks are getting a free ride on IHT with the Blue Nu Labour?
I thought most folk in the Country with elderly house owning relatives in the SE would
be pissed off with Huge Bloated Government taking 40% off the Estate for what reason? IHT is a Criminal Tax. If it was the same rate as VAT, then it would be understandable. Because that is all the Government would get if it was all spent!
To pay for bloated Gold plated Pension of all the hundreds of thousands of Shiny Suits in all the tax Payer funded apparatus of the State.
Privatise the BBC ASAP. WTF does the DG get paid twice as much as the PM?
A very good point. Inheritence tax is iniquitous. It sells well though to the plebs who feel they deserve money for nothing. (that would be most socialist scum)
Labour rely on responsible people to save and invest for the future. Perhaps we should just spend and enjoy – following their example of not fixing the roof when the sun is shining.
It’s all about power and control. The sole purpose of inheritance tax is to stop families building wealth and enabling a political class to develop that is independent of, and immune to, state patronage.
Very True. That is why Labour Party officials are also covertly exempt from all know DECLARABLE taxes in this Country.
That is why Blair now has 6 houses and Mandelson bought a big one for cash.
Plenty of other Rorting Examples. They have a special TAX Department, and don’t have to argue the toss with a mere local Tax Office.
Seemples
It’s bullshit anyway. My mother in law died last year a month after Labour’s IHT change came into effect. We still ended up paying £120k IHT on the estate. As usual with this lot read the small print.
That lad on the right needs to grow some balls.
Hislop and David Starkey are far more effective at holding up Labour’s stupidity, incompetence and hypocrisy to the public gaze than the Tories.
Cooper is a useless fucking bitch whose stupidity is legendary.
When the Northern rock went tits up she was in the House answering questions and a Tory backbencher (whose name escapes me) was asking her about Granit – the Nr’s secuitisation vehicle. The backbencher was a former banker who appeared to actually understand the risks and was askin pointed and appropriate questions.
Not only was the orgeous Yvette incapable of providing remotely reasonable answers but the moronic cow clearly didn’t even understand the questions.
The sooner she diappears from governent the better.
Anyone with a grasp on reality pretty much can, never mind class, these people hate ‘education’.
They hate people who can see the bullshit for what it is and deconstruct the arguements.
That’s why they’ll either pay you off to get you out of the way or smear you and discredit you into oblivion.
Your bullshit detector is not fully functioning. You meant “demolish the arguments”. Deconstruction is for pansies.
true good sir/lady anon, well corrected.
This confusion is worth a clarifying example, if only because it’s due to gross hoonery at, by, and from the BBC.
When you demolish something you end up with rubble, bits and pieces. When you deconstruct something, it’s still there, but you’ve added to the sum total of verbiage in the world.
Guy Fawkes would have demolished Parliament, had he succeeded.
Guido Fawkes is deconstructing Parliament.
I think that is because the Conservatives are still, naively, playing the parliamentary game whereas Hislop and Starkey are outside looking in and unbound by the rules/protocols.
It is frustrating that the Tories don’t seem able to fight dirty like Labour but in a way reassuring too.
Is it not rather odd, that when someone on the TV starts actually saying things in a manner by which the public can most relate to. The same public are still clearly consider this character as being eccentrically unstable or somewhat deranged. This instead of trusting there own common sense, and personal experience of life in general.
Surly we all worked out at school that the nice guy never got the shags at the end of the party. That coming first was usually only achieved by the greatest amount of cheating. One of the best ones being, earnestly pretending to be a revolutionary Marxist, while actually being a middle-class heir to half of a fortune. That a leg over was more assured by having a few grams of Charlie in ones back pocket, then an intelligently liberated personality, or indeed any personality at all.
The bad guys and galls always win, even when they sometimes lose. However we all knew that, didn’t we?……………You mean you didn’t?…….Oh deary deary me.
During the war..
Be good if Jeremy Clarkson got on QT as well – hopefully up against Harridan Harperson. That would be real entertainment.
Starkey, Hislop, Clarkson & Littlejohn against Balls x 2, Brown, Harperson & Bradshaw, 4 v 5, it would be ace to see the carnage!!
The Tories are always in a difficult position because a lot of the electorate think that all Tories are rich and all members of the Labour Party are poor, whereas it’s probably pretty equal.
I remember Granite well. Where all the NR money went, basically offshore in Jersey (or was it the Isle of Mann?), where the nosey taxpayer who was propping up the business end couldn’t get at it.
“…cost £ 2bn, that’s spending £ 2bn on this group of people”.
Pray tell me, Yvette, precisely whose £ 2bn is this?
’nuff said.
I didn’t become a socialist so I couldn’t ‘redistribute’ shit loads of your money into my bank account.
Even the Cosa Nostra never take more than 50%, Yvette.
Something deeply obscene about crossing that 50% boundary. If you’re working 50% for some other bastards – low life druggies, doleys, lardy public sector troughers, the legions of 5 a day coordinators – you’re effectively a slave.
And we’re crashing through that 50% – when you consider NI, vat, council tax, fuel tax, telly tax, broadband tax, tax on bloody everything – we’re there. It’s indefensible. It’s oppresive.
You read Atlas Shrugged TuscanTony?
I’m working on The Fountainhead (I’m under orders from a nubile young lady to read this before AS), so…no.
Vulcan tenner not forgotten.
hurry up mate before they ban it – the book and the plane…
Amazingly it turns out I own both books – I think I inherited them from the trash basement post 9-11 as thousand of yanks left their Battery Park apartments and I made good on their cast-offs.
There’s a lot of padding in the books but the underlying message is crystal clear and we are way beyond the point where it is morally right to work in order to support the legions of parasites, intellectual deviants and arseholes that this government has saddled us with.
So I haven’t. For the past eight years. I’m 43 and if I never work another day or pay another penny in tax it will be a day too soon and a penny too much.
Fuck ‘em. This government is morally and financially bankr*pt and I refuse to pay them a penny I can avoid.
There was a book I read by Henry Ford once, written in the 1920′s or something was pretty risque about the jews but pretty much outlined the future we have arrived at today, I don’t think it was fictional either, I think he was being serious.
I’ve read both Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. I enjoyed the latter more as a piece of literature but the former really kicks big government straight in the balls. Recommended reading.
Who is John Galt?
I am John Galt.
I no longer wish to fund this tyranny of idiocy. So I don’t.
I urge you all to join in. Join the 5 million ‘incapacitated’. Join Brown’s million dead-weights, albatrosses and arseholes.
Do the minimum.
They can’t survive without your money. They can’t survive without your ingenuity, your labour, your diligence, your competence or your goodwill. Bring the fact home to them.
We ain’t your fucking slaves.
Fuck off.
My advice is to not read it at all, unless you have the balls, and the ability to properly read between the lines. Which there are far too many of.
Please be reminded a book becomes the second best seller to the Bible for a very important reason. In the case of Atlas Shrugged it sure was not the quality of either the story line, or the writing.
BTW
I am John Galt.
I drove past your place the other week. I think your gatelions need painting.
Thanks guys. I just read the condensed speech after reading your posts. Im John Galt.

She was shit scared of somebody on that panel. She would have normally drowned everybody else out with her cacophanous “SKRAAAAAAAAAAAAAK” – like Mr Slater’s bird on PCP. I could hear Hislop and that is bloody unusual with that Klaxon gobbed ladlass.
What Davey boy has got to do if he does get in is change the boundaries so Labour have no more built in majority.
No EU=NO more Labour
UKIP = Labour = more EU
And introduce an IQ threshold for the same reason.
Yvette and ed have tried to present themselves as ‘working class’ in order to maximise the labour vote in their individual constituences and keep them elected so that they can be the major troughers that they are.
Yvette was a graduate of Oxford and Harvard and her father was a Chairman of the Nuclear Industry Forum under the Conservatives.
Ed, her ‘lovable’ husband, was privately educated, and then graduated through Oxford and Hardvard.
Did they ever live on a council estate as I did, or cope with poverty? Not likely.
Do they understand the principle of only spending what you earn, and working for what you spend? No!!!
Neither does gordon.
There are plenty of “toffs” in Nulabour, it’s just that they are “the right sort” of toffs – marxists.
Viscount Stansgate – and son Hillary – and grand-niece Georgia.
Harriet Harperson – niece of Lord Longford.
etc.
Yeah but Yvette did say that she had been unemployed and signed on at the Job Centre although she wasn’t specifiv when this was and the cicumstances.I expect she’d been reading a copy of Browns guide to scrounging off the state which he wrote when Student Rector at Edinburgh University
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1548028/Prudent-students-guide-to-living-off-the-state-and-being-a-parasite.html
“Nothing wrong with being a parasite” – gordon’s own words.
It absolutely epitomises gordon’s approach to government doesn’t it ??!!
When caught by police attempting to con someone, the booklet advises, “You may think you are guilty but legal advice can show otherwise.”
Right. Now I understand everything about this cuckoo.
I was in business at the same time and roughly at the same age. I concur with Atlas
Re Gordon’s eye loss,
Just looked at the photo of Gordo as a student. I used to play rugby many years ago and looked up some old team photos. There is no way Gordo played the game and lost his eye that way. With that silly hair he would have been an easy target. They would have ripped it out by the clump.
I don’t believe anything he says. Rugby my arse. O/T – never put bamboo sticks in a dustbin. ‘Could take a tramp’s eye out.
The lobotomised chimp is whining about 2 billion quid when the Labour vermin are about to spend 65 billion in debt interest.
What an utter Hunt she is
Yes, you couldn’t make her up. Absolutely without shame.
She considers in her power crazed brain that she is in touch with the ‘people’.
She is lucky she had Hyslop to deal with, as I would have strangled the bitch on T.V.
Well that goes for anyone in the Labour party / government as I just had a few beers to drown my sorrows after losing a good friend in Afghanistan, and losing a cousin to some Hospital contracted disease, come to think of it anyone interested is starting a revolution tonight?
I certainly I the mood!!!!!
You have my axe
Which Troop?
She’s one of those what I call ‘little women’… they play on the “I’m so tiny don’t hurt ickle me’, but they are fishwives hard as nails and get away with murder. Ian Hislop is unusual in that he recognizes the type and isn’t conned like so many men are.
(Pant-hoot)
Ali, Lailia and the dance partner girls on Stricly Come Dancing are beautiful which is annoying to admit that i watch it as i hate the bbc LOL.
Latest ICM Poll says Cons. 45. Labour 26. LibDems 18.
Yvette will say Labour is winning because, of course, they believe that black is white and vice versa.
I wonder whether yvette/edb are going to be amongst the 100 mp’s who are condemned for major troughing by the auditor over the next few days.
Or have they manipulated themselves out of the frame? Rather like harpy harriett and the baroness scotland.
Don’t the Ball’s have a D Notice or special deal with one of the papers about there expenses still. I remember reading something about this once.
Truth will out.
This year, next year.
But eventually the truth about this venal, troughing couple will end up in the public domain.
They have undoubtedly cost us hundreds of thousands of pounds for no benefit to the public good.
Balls and Cooper net around half a million from us suckers every year (salaries+expenses). Not bad, eh?
Yvette Balls epitomises ALL that is wrong with New Labour.
No, that would be Harmperson. Yvette comes second.
Yvette definitely a lot better than her husband and Harperson.
No Harriet does not even come a close second. Yvette Lady boy Balls inflicted a bureaucratic and worthless version of HIPS on the UK public that no other European country has even thought of.
Good point, but harpie’s latest tranche of tedious, pettifogging “equality” legislation – ie positive discrimination – will fuck a lot of businesses just when they need less red tape.
Not “positive discrimination”, but discrimination against men.
Get it right, please.
Fucking Hell!!!
What’s LEO SAYER doing a come back on X factor for?
LOL …he was crap as well
Bloody clown
I quite fancy Yvette, she has that confident but thick personality
You know, if she could be equipped with a couple of 85occ salines, I might be interested.
850ccs, of course.
I reckon she is good at taking stuff back to shops
She may be good at sending a minion back to shops with stuff. She’s far too important to go herself.
Cherie, our dear loud mouthed ex pm’s wife has just put her thoughts on the radio. Me? 6 houses? well if you call one house split in to two. scoff scoff. ‘I am always being maligned in the press, I am really a very frugal person, and not extravagant at all at all at all, and a human right’s lawyer to boot, you just ask my husband.’
More serious trouble for McDoom here
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6869559.ece
Part way through her answer, I think she realised she was sounding stupid, but just could not see her way clear to shutting up.
Be like stopping a supertanker, shutting that maw.
Is there anybody honest and honourable left in either House?
12 hours later, and answer came there none.
Says it all, really.
Well, at least he’s only worth £ 500million unlike Dave. Any questions for Lord Paul, Andy M, you utter tosser?
Yep, heard that interview. When did scouse Cherie adopt that Southern posh voice? She never spoke like that when Tone was looking for votes.
At least Imelda Marcos had style.
She’d recognise an old boot when she saw one
Oh dear and as if it could not get any worse for McJonah with the polls
A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE ally of Gordon Brown pretended that a small flat occupied by one of his employees was his main home so he could claim £38,000 in expenses from the Lords. Lord Paul, one of Labour’s biggest donors and a friend of the prime minister, has admitted he never even slept in the flat, despite stating it was his main residence.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6869559.ece
So “Lord” Paul “donates” £ 46,000 to “Gordon Brown’s” campaign which he then steals from the House of Lords Fees Office…
They don’t do half measures these shameless ZanuLabour criminals…
Just steal steal steal….
And grin about it
They have reduced this country to a level of sordid decadence hardly imaginable for normal citizens…
It’s not the only attack they’re failing to make. Why on earth aren’t they mentioning all of Labour’s disgusting allies in the PES every time they try to smear Kaminski?
It’s ”ok” when communists murder millions of people apparently as people on the Guardian actually argue.
At least 325 MPs receiving letters to explain their expenses!!!! So many more than we thought!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/6293282/MPs-expenses-325-MPs-told-to-pay-up-or-explain.html
More fish in a barrel to shoot!
Decent, principled people enter politics every day, only to become sell-out, all-out troughers of the highest order after they’re elected.
The over-arching question that really needs to be answered as a matter of national emergency is: who precisely approaches them and with what exact inducement?
Well it does make one wonder doesn’t it. Heaven knows where we would be if homowotsit was still illegal
Somehow I just can’t take it seriously when it comes from some geezer called Sir Thomas Legg. Lawyer, civil servant, academic – plenty of form as an Establishment man. Not even a proper baronet, either, just has one of those gongs they hand out to senior civil servants when they get a bit past it and start forgetting which anecdotes they’ve already told. The MPs are all pretending to be scared of him but I think they know he’s not going to upset the apple-cart.
Sir WW’s forecast: match abandoned at half-time – fog.
Sauce for the goose or sauce for der gander
If Hitler were alive today he would certainly believe in AGW. It has all the hallmarks. A world crisis, impending disatser, no sacrifice too great, the world to be reformed by force if necessary, a sinister behind-the scenes conspiracy to destroy the world for profit, a firm hand required, for this I was defintively marked out by the iron hand of Destiny, all dissent to be crushed….. He’d have loved it!
David Cameron thinks you GW deniers are certifiable
The arguments are sound but perhaps having Hitler front them isnt the best decision ever made !!! Just a thought.
Leaving the arguments about AGW aside. Remember ‘war on terror’(downgraded out of fashion). Flesh eating virus, meltdown y2k, acid rain, etc, etc, etc. there’s always something to scare us so that we demand big government to protect us from it. Latest one-read what they threatened Ireland with. Coming our way.
What did they spook the micks with Ivor?
Nigel Farage
No it wasn’t Nigel Farage. He did get a lot of appreciation as well as condemnation. It was europressure shipped in and threats about jobs. The day after the vote for yes-intel and was it ryanir made redundancies anyway.
I don’t know if it was ryanir. maybe it was the other one airlingo or summit? Whatever
now where does yvette live? london?yorkshire?
first class rail tickets?
her and ed have stolen £ thousands and thousands!!!!!!!
all she ever does is scream that tories eat babies…….
they must have really low standards at harvard now.
Tories have always eaten babies. They are cheap and nutritious.
It also saves complications on IHT. No kids, no issues! All the money can go to the State to pay for more Champagne.
40% IHT is an evil tax, and a total disincentive to be productive and frugal.
The fiscal drag effect planned by Brown will catch a lot of posh Socialists as well.
But Gummint needs the money.
She is a useless token fucktard !
Dave, prove you’re not a slimy scheming shit by promising us a Referendum on Lisbon whatever happens within 3 months, you fucking mendacious little cnut.
He won’t. For reasons why, please read the comments under Hannan’s Telegraph blog
So if you’ve given up on Dave try Gordon.
Devious Dave. (Ken’s catamite). No change to the program. The ‘Reich Lite’ marches on.
from yesterday,sums it up, UKIP keeps Brown in office
I want to believe says:
October 9, 2009 at 11:58 am
But I can’t. So I’ll be voting UKIP again. UKIP voters like me helped the Conservatives to lose 27 seats that they might have won in 2005.
they didn’t deserve to win either.
ah the insults, the sign of a confident argument.
Every one should vote if they are eligable, imo. Votes were fought for in wars. Just the same-IMO you should cherish that vote and place it with your concience-especially as one can’t rely on trust these days. For me it is policy first, then weigh the trust. I would like to vote for Dave’s selected P/candidate but my one was featured in the expenses scandle and but I could overlook that transgression for a referendum on europe because that is more important to me. OK?
euromouse wants to bend over and let him and the heir to Blair Dave get buggered right up the chuff by President Blair under Lisbon while Ken Clarke looks on laughing uproariously
I would put Hislop in the Cabinet.
Yvette would only like to see Hislop locked up in a cabinet.
I believe they are still wiping yvette cooper’s splattered remains from the Walls of the studio.
Also, she lied: Ed was a cabinet minister for 4 months before Yvette became chief secretary
Probably not a Lie, just a Grayling?
Labour would make out that Winston Churchill was not qualified to be an MP because he was born at Blenheim Palace.
Or Clement Atlee, Hugh Gaitskell and Tony Blair because they all went to fee-paying boarding schools.
I’ve been to Blenheim Palace and seen the room where Churchill was born — an ordinary smallish bedroom no bigger than the front bedroom of any semi-detached Victorian villa. Decorated in chintz — awesome experience being in the same room where the greatest Englishman was born.
£100 – £40 in tax = £60. £60 @ 40% IHT = £24 Total £64 in tax on £100 (64% rax rate). IHT is just plain wrong and ought to be abolished completely.
You forgot employer and employee NI. It adds up to over 70%.
Welcome to Soviet UK.
This is nothing new, Labour/BBC continually peddle old Tory myths like they are all rich and public school toffs and that all Liebour politicians are poor working class kids.
Utter crap of course Labour/BBC is full of rich public school kids, I don’t understand why the next Tory on Newsnight doesn’t take Paxo apart LIVE (so they can’t cut it) or rat face about her Labour links.
I reckon there is going to be a huge media storm over Dannii Minogue’s homophobic outing of one of the x factor contestants on tonight’s show. This might drive the MP expenses and Brown’s health off the front pages.
From Daily Mail comments
A politician died and went to Heaven. (unlikely, I know, but bear with me). On entering through the pearly gates he saw millions of clocks, all telling different times, so he asked St Peter about them. “Ah”, said St Peter, “every person on earth is allocated a clock, set at 12:00, and every time they tell a lie the hands are moved forward one minute. Thus, when they die we have a measure of their honesty”.
“Where’s Gordon Brown’s clock?” asked the MP.
“Oh, we keep that in the office and use it as a fan” replied St Peter.

fawkes leave labour enough rope ……………………..
More bad news for team Brown as the report into the Damien arrest comes out.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/6293513/Damian-Green-row-Cabinet-Office-shamed.html
Misconduct in a public office, eh?
Remember at the time the report was that the complaint had come from the CABINET OFFICE (The office of none other than the Prime Minister)
It was very quickly changed by the next news bulletin and never repeated. A neat little cover up thats come back to haunt them hopefully.
And don’t forget Brown was on telly when in opposition boasting of doing exactly the same as Damian Green.
Yep.
Unfortunately, there’s no longer a Jackboots Jaqui, a Bob Quick or a Michael Martin to answer for any of this.
Funny thing, the biggest coverup in all of this (in my opinion) was Jackboots ‘out of the country’ in Brussels – with, wait for it… Her mobile switched off and out of range of any other communications device – IN BRUSSELS WTF???
There was also the matter of a labour politico on Question Time on the very night of the Green Arrest saying to Dimbleby and the audience ‘No, I – Know – nothing – about – this’. It’s rare that even Zanu politicians act quite that badly.
I really hope some light will be shed on this.
Really? I’ve not heard of any of them dying. They’re still around in public life, the police have their addresses — piece of cake I’d have thought — arrest the bastards.
Worked at Nuremberg.
According to the Telegraph, even this report is being heavily censored, for security reasons, of course. The one one the police is even worse, which just goes to show that the police in this country is no more than the para-military wing of Zanu Labour. They used TWENTY-FIVE no doubt armed cops to deal with Damian Green, his wife and his daughter. Fucking unbelievable? I dont think so.
twenty five for reading some papers. nazis
I’d give ‘er a portion. Fuck off Ian, leave this one to me.
Don’t vote for any of the thieving, banker loving bastards.
[...] Ian Hislop had the most fantastic barney on inheritance tax on QuestionTime this week (thanks to Guido for the clip, I’m now off to watch the whole thing in [...]
Hislop gets in an even better gag when she’s trying to smear Osborne and Cameron for their ‘unfortunate’ backgrounds (world-class education with brilliant Firsts at Oxford) and how could they possibly connect with ordinary people blah blah…
Hislop chips in, “But aren’t you married to a very powerful man yourself and wouldn’t that have anything to do with you getting your job? You have to be awfully careful before you make accusations of nepotism…”
I won’t forget the look on her face for a very long time.
Almost every time Guido writes about James Macintyre an email arrives in the inbox complaining about everything from mis-spelling his name to not giving the whole truth. Once he complained bitterly that some nuance was wrong (that he hadn’t formally applied for a job with Ed Miliband, but had been considered for a SpAd job with Miliband and was furious when he discovered that his close buddy Derek Draper told Ed not to hire him – if you are really interested).
The tone is often: “Are you going to correct that o’ fearless truth seeker? Or just bathe in inaccuracy as ever? Which one?”
Macintyre’s journalism, such as it is, and Guido is in a position to verify this with documentary evidence, often amounts to little more than emailing a Labour spin doctor, and asking them have they “got any dirt”. He was not so long ago sniffing (pardon the pun) around for cocaine-related dirt on Cameron. Fair enough, Guido is in no position to criticise Macintyre for muck-racking. This was the manner in which he got his famous “Obama thinks Cameron is a lightweight” line. It was fed to him.
Macintyre has been pushing the Labour spin line that Michael Kaminski, the Tory ally in the European parliament, is some kind of anti-semitic, far-right extremist. Some have been urging Kaminski to sue the New Statesman, Kaminski tells Iain Dale in this month’s Total Politics
What I’m facing here in the UK is not only a very disappointing standard of political debate, but very disappointing standards of journalism. Rabbi Schudrich made a statement about the allegations in this magazine. He sent them a statement and they ignored it. They didn’t print it. Rabbi Schudrich made it very clear that he didn’t want to make any political statements about me, but he wanted to make clear that he has nothing against me and does not regard me as an anti-Semite. Come on. Just recently, I came back from Israel where I was received at the top level of government. I had my statement posted on the Israeli ministry of foreign affairs. The Israeli ambassador to Brussels accepted my invitation to visit our group next week; can you imagine that the Israeli state would receive me if they had any doubts about my attitude towards the Jewish people and the state of Israel?
Now it is clear that either Kaminski or Macintyre are not telling the whole truth, and the Rabbi is the one in a position to settle this outright once and for all. The word is that Rabbi Schudric is going to make a definitive statement.
I’m getting a sense of deja vu here.
You just beat me to it jgm
In a strange kind of way I knew that.
Yeah I thought you would say that
Doesn’t worry Cherie and Tone that the Pope — yes the bloody POPE! — used to be in Hitler Youth does it? And they go all po-faced and reverent before him and kiss his fucking hand.
Labour double standards sicken me.
You said that last week. So when is it going to happen or is this some kind of silent order?
Updates on the criminal FREAKSHOW that is Wasteminster: http://eotp.wordpress.com/
Well done, Hislop.
Where are all the Labour Trolls tonight? Returned to the hive because their Queen is mortally wounded?
Normal service will be resumed after our briefing on Monday morning. Till then – troll on.
Colony collapse disorder… I wish!
Very good if only. Just wait till they are in opposition though, it is going to be hilarious.
And I had hoped he was dead not just wounded. Oh well Mandy three strikes and your out.
Brown is going to have to pay back some of his expenses.
Preparing the way for a report and the monday letters on expenses which might be making a few piggies a little poorer. (but not much)
I wonder how much Tony Bliar will be paying back,surely he is included.Hmmmm
Labour spin machine already insisting that Brown did nothing wrong. How stupid do they think we all are?
Labour nasty nasty bastards…. This is utterly disgraceful
SENIOR Labour figures are exploring the possibility of disciplinary action against General Sir Richard Dannatt for allegedly breaching Queen’s regulations. They believe Dannatt’s recent comments on Afghan strategy may contravene army regulations banning political statements or the disclosure of confidential information.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6869643.ece?token=null&offset=0&page=1
When you thought that Liebour couldn’t go any lower,they f*kin do,what lowlife’s these peopla are.
They don’t learn, do they? In Campbell’s time they got away with this kind of shit, now everyone knows how they work and the journalists have finally lost their fear. so all these attempted smears blow up in their faces. Excellent!
Sky review of the papers: Mail on Sunday say Dannatt is going to be “fined” £40,000 for joining the Tories. Just when there was a degree of doubt that the Tories had done the wise thing in appointing him and were on the back foot – Labour lets them off the hook with a gloriously spiteful action…

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brown may have to repay expenses.
Looks like Browns invisible Cleaner has been confirmed as Invisible
must be something to do with his eyesight
A bit like James Purnell’s cleaner.
Hmmmm. I’m guessing it was his bruvver, PR head-man for EDF, owners of our power companies at budget price etc etc, who, cor, what a co-incidence, two gifted, high-profile siblings, who actually hired the – errrr – cleaner – or – more likely – his bruvvers missus or management company or some low profile cut-out.
Anyway I confidentally predict it will have fuck-all to do with Gordon ‘its-fuck-all-do-to-with-me-just-like-the global-economic-crisis-that-started-in-America’ Brown.
Wonder if McSnots sob story today was to cover his expenses getting caught story.
I’ll bet the office shredders are working overtime. Maybe that’s what they’ve all been doing in the recess.
Covering their sorry arses.
Was she from Tonga?
Baroness Scotty employs illegal cleaner – doesn’t get thrown out. WHY?
Baroness Scotty takes over £170,000 in expenses, doesn’t get thrown out. WHY?
Ahhhh, Brown + chums expenses-gate in full on Monday. Am I being cynical?
In the real world, of course, the penalty for submitting fraudulent expenses is, at best, summary dismissal and at worst criminal proceedings.
Oh yeah it sure is for us.
Rightly, of course.
In the real world just about everybodys expenses are a bit dodgy. In the real world when they’re looking to fire your arse for being shit then expenses are the very first thing they go looking at because then they don’t have to worry about warning letters or ‘managing your performance’ or any shit like that.
In the real world thse fuckers would have been fired ‘for cause’ about 8 years ago. Not ‘cos they’re ripping us off a few quid but because they’re shit and that’s the quickest way to get rid of the incompetent, economy wrecking bastards.
They are all at it and all with their snouts in the trough need to be culled
Lots of fun on monday when we see hundreds of them having to dig into their pockets and splutter about it all being within the rules again
Won’t McSnot’s expenses expose be because it was a technical problem,it’s one they all use,everybody else thinks it’s fiddling your expenses .
he did declare them but the message was left on someone’s computer which was photographed leaving in a taxi once?
The eccentric Italian PM clearly needs to swap his Viagra for powerful anti-pychotics immediately after this batshit insane rant.
“I am the most persecuted man in the history of the world!”
He makes Brown look almost sane.
They are actually twins – their father was an italian ice cream seller captured in WW2 in one of those italian tanks that only has reverse gear.
[Berlusconi] “I am the most persecuted man in the history of the world!”
Yeah, right…and Tessa’s old man is right behind you.
Stop it – or you’ll be hearing from my Judges!
She’s a rat from family of scum.
Her con-man father is a Labour parasite on many a quango, sucking up as much gravy as the dirty vermin can swallow.
Also, she’s a sock puppet of the CIA. (The usual – she was awarded a scholarship to Harvard University to be flattered with pretty rent boys and to get incriminating evidence against her to make sure she never did anything to stop American and Israeli terrorism, one the puppet was in politics).
She’s a nasty little evil verminous criminal – just look at the expense claim of the rat.
I think you may have hit the nail on the head there. Obviously the yanks aren’t going to miss the opportunity to compromise political Brits who come within their sphere of compromisation at such an early age. Can’t blame ‘em for that.
Kudos.
And if not her then Ned. But most likely both. But most likely both.
who the fuck are we talking bout here ????
Must be Cooper
It’s about time someone put that gobshite tart in her place, Well done Hislop!
Isn’t this Thursday’s news?
Its Guido’s crystal ball software
Even I could have predicted it on Wednesday.
It will be.
Yes. Until Monday. Then it will be un-news and you will have to report to Room 101 for a little chat with Mr O’Brien.
And now, the lottery numbers….
Hahaha! nice job Hislop. Don’t care which party (if any) gets your vote, but well done all the same, you made her look like a complete twat.
Not much chance of her being kicked out though, with a current majority of 23,000 odd, but nice one all the same.
Nice suit luv. How much did that cost us?
She’ll be shrieking at Boulton later.
Thank goodness for Jane Moore, everyone else on Pravda’s Andrew Marr show is a leftie. Lefties everyone trying to save the sinking ship that is the Labour government. Lots of leftie assertions from Robert “friend of Mandy’s” Harris – saying David Cameron’s speech wasn’t good, Tory lead isn’t much.
Reality the Tory lead is 19% and has gone up 5% since Cameron’s brilliant performance on Thursday.

Thousands of asylum seekers allowed to stay to clear backlog

Are we seeing a pattern here?
In the interests of committing no thought-crime, all I can respond to that is a questionable extract from my dictionary:
“Jack’-straw or jack’-straw a straw effigy; a man of straw, a lightweight; a straw or slip used in the game of jack’-straws or spillikins”.
Well Well Well
The Day after it is announced that gordon is Going Blind. Alan Johnson comes on the Telly and given a remarkably easy time by Marr. Johnson it has to be said did a good interview too,
Marr practically had his tongue down Johnson’s throat.
On watching it, throat was not the part of the body that sprang to mind.
No it doesn’t ‘have to be said’. My late mother in law with senile dementia would have given a good interview with that level of fawning and sycophancy from Marr.
I reckon a cunning plan is afoot to get Blind Gordon and someone with vision in.
Most of the papers carry some sort of report that Cameron fucked up with his speech. I agree, Cameron did fuck up.
The Tory leader’s big speech was a dud that can cost him the election – if Gordon Brown stands aside
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/john-rentoul/john-rentoul-cameron-blew-it-labour-can-win-1800899.html
So why did the polls jump 5 percentage points after it?
PS The Independent isn’t independent, how do I know that? Because nobody buys it yet somehow it still gets published.
It’s all the papers. Telegraph, Times, Observer etc Only Fraser Nelson in the NOW is outright positive on Cam. Hitchens in the Mail is particularly scathing. They are right Cam’s plan is full of holes it is also a complete reversal of what he was saying only 18 months ago. Anyone expecting a Euro referendum from Cam will be severely disappointed.
Perhaps you ought to ask Labour why there isn’t a referendum, they’re the ones who could hold one tomorrow. And I don’t give a shit about what the papers say — the polls (and everyone I know) say otherwise with a 19 point lead..
The Tories have not changed one word dot or comma: economy “didn’t fix the roof…”, “have a referendum” (where were the mass demo’s from either Labour or UKIP when Gordo signed the bloody thing December 2007?)
I’ll bet you don’t even know who Vaclav Klaus is.
Couldn’t work out if Marr was interviewing Johnson or chatting him up?
Look at who is actually writing the article,put yourself in their shoes and then ask yourself the question “Will I ever lower myself to write one positive line in favour of Cameron or the tories”?
I disagree. I think he struggled even with the soft questioning.
Johnson on Marr: Home Secretary has been sent to Afghanistan last week? He’s being groomed, doing a quick course in look like a statesman/PM ready for McRuin’s resignation.
Marr having laid the groundwork as AJ leader of warriors on the front line, now it’s the PM in waiting’s great thoughts on the economy — Labour’s been a raving success and it’s the Tories who would have mucked it up — Marr’s “yup” after every point.
Now we’re onto President Blair… how well qualified he is.
I noticed that yup too. He didn’t disagree with Johnson once. All Marr did was yup, yup yup to everything that Johnson said about Cameron. It has to be said that they were both right mind but Marr’s job is to say but not yup.
He’s trying to make up for the own goal he scored two weeks ago, the jug eared cock sucker.
All Johnson did was trot out a few party lines. There was nothing new at all.
Harriet isn’t going to stand back and let Johnson walk it.
This is going to be fun.
Why is everybody still bothering with all this yah, boo sucks, ping-pong tittle-tattle?
There should have been a general election when The Telegraph’s disclosures first appeared.
And now over half of the thieving bastards are going to get flutter-over-the-knuckle billets-doux suggesting that they might have been rather naughty and to put a few spare pennies back in the bottomless biscuit barrel unless they can come up with some farcical excuse or other.
The Lib/Lab/Con/MSM marxist wreckers really must be knee-deep in champagne corks congratulating themselves.
Didn’t they do well?
Tut tut gordon

Is Heavette still wearing the same kit as Thursday on QT?
Grotty kah!
Yup, Yvette wore her lucky jacket on Boulton.
That Hunt Maguire is on socialist Gabby Logan’s programme once again this morning.
He’s another dopey rat who’s determined to go down with the sinking ship.
BTW, he’s an utter c’unt.
Is that my phone?
You would think that with all of our money that BallsCooper has troughed she could get herself a half-decent wardrobe. She is ALWAYS pictured in that selfsame cheap suit!
she does have a huge wardrobe no doubt but this outfit like Hatemens regular one is to show austerity in front of their voters.
We saw more of the same tactics from Alan Johnson on Marr this this morning.
Wheel out a Labour cabinet minister and tell the electorate all the bad things the Tories are going to do when they win without saying what they are going to do and without taking any responsibility for the past 12 years.
It does seem defeatist that labour seem to be arguing on the premise that the Tories will win.
You also should remember she is Mrs. Ed Balls, can you imagine their conversation over breakfast “Who’s lives shall we screw up today?”
Gobby cow…
A stuck up snooty cow to boot. Did you hear her when the point was made that the so called savings from tax increaases is small beer. She said something about the rest coming from everything else they are doing ie other stuff….other stuff what the fuck is this other stuff you dizzy cow. Talk about vague.
Notice that she ends every sentence with “what we don’t want to do is (insert here yet another blatent and scandalous lie about the Tories)”
Fucking Bitch!!!
She came over as pretty, but not terribly bright.
This proposed Tory Inheritance Tax cut was introduced to assist home owners, who thro no fault of their own, found themselves owners of semi-detatched properities worth just over a £1M as a result of Gordon Brown’s Housing Price Boom.
Why on earth do Tory politicians sit back and allow New Labour Scum to twist this proposal into some sort of freebie for the super-rich paid for by the poor?
Why do I get all horny when she’s on? She looks the kind of bird who doesn’t wear any nickers.
Tell us more!
You have a powerful and somewhat scary imagination!
Brings into play a whole new use for a snorkel – we dive at dawn!!
Can anyone tell me how much Inheritance Tax Labour Peer and Labour Donor Lord Paul will pay when he dies.
It might help the calculation if you factor in the rate for Non-domiciled taxpayers (i.e. those people born abroad who still hold foreign passport). Multiply his final estate value on death by 0%.
How much IHT will Lord Paul pay then?
Are all my posts awaiting moderation?
Or only the ones that mention L o r d P a u l?
I see. Writs and injuctions flying today, are they?
