Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”
Thanks Guido…..
oh great i see you’re back you pointless excuse for a human! you do realise there is some one on this planet who needs the space you take up more than you ? be a spunk and drop off the planet oh little student of offensive garbage !, go on no one will miss you !.
Anon….. = tosspot, now go and be an irritating c*nt somewhere else!!
Oh great you’re on here ! just what we needed a freakish waste of space to bring the tone down !.
I think he, like Spiddo, MB, Harmans Snide etc etc are actually Tory black-op merchants. No matter how fucking stupid Labour are (and they are) there is no way they could think these jackasses would do anything other than galvanise anti-Labour sentiment.
I mean who, reading that crap, is going to think ‘Yeah! Good point – I’d better vote Labour’?
Ergo they’re working for the Tories.
I still suspect Charles Hardpellets is Guido.
you sick fuck
I wish daddy aimed the turkey baster more carefully into mummy….
See, if you’re a Tory looking to spite who you perceive as a Labour wing-nut then all you’re doing is handing fuckwits like Toynbee a soundbite to get all faux outraged about. So that would be a fucking stupid thing to do.
On the other hand if you’re a Labour muppet looking to plant a soundbite for Toynbee et al to refer to next time Guido’s on TV then this all makes sense.
Thanks for helping prove that the only good socialist is a dead socialist.
And the only good piggy MP or Banker is a dead piggy MP or Banker
You’re not worried that Guido and the hosts of this blog know your IP address, I see.
Clearly not. But if he’s at an internet cafe the why would he be? There’s plenty of software to hide IP addresses (so it’s difficult to block) although they can be traced.
I’ve got to the point that i enjoy reading the comments here but i can’t actually watch PMQs because i just want to hurl something at that thick fucktard stuttering & dithering on the screen. He’s a guaranteed vote loser for Labour (TG).
Almost forgot about PMQs. Looking forward to Tractor stats
So the empty, posturing wind-baggery returns, eh? More puppet theatre.
I am sending 500 more troops to Afghanistan because, to be honest, the fewer honourable people willing to take up arms we have in this country the safer the members of this House will be.
Was looking for something else but found this quote
“The usual road to slavery is that first they take away your guns, then they take away your property, then last of all they tell you to shut up and say you are enjoying it.” – James A. Donald
Labour ARE like the Japanese
“The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in their possession any swords, bows, spears, firearms or other types of arms. The possession of these elements makes difficult the collection of taxes and dues, and tends to permit uprising.” – Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Japanese Shogun, August 29, 1558
You tell them brother. Testify!
But the military will have to see that they are properly equipped, as that’s got fuck all to do with me – likewise the objectives. They are in Afghanistan doing a noble job of defending Britain’s borders.
did you notice he said that regarding the military covenant in respect of soldiers with mental health issues that they get preferential treatment….. that’s all the depressed MP’s way down the list for appointments then.
Verse for the start of term…
What the fuck?!
At last good luck:
Carter Ruck
Have come unstuck.
Good stuff.
who is that sitting next to Brown?
I am looking out for the shaking hand.
Spud Murphy. Scottish Secretary
that lots reaction to Nick Clegg tells is all we need to know about what they think about expenses and him asking them to repay more.
Otherwise known as the Skull for obvious reasons. What was the useless tosser talking about, missed it.
Also known as a complete and utter chump.
said nothing – just nodding every so often – I am so depressed this lot are back – q’s about the guides, a hospital in bolton etc…. where is jacqui smith? Why aren’t more people apologising?
. . . here I am boys . . . jus’ doin the last little bit to me ‘air . . . then I’m ready for yer . . .
Woof . . . woof . . . !
does my bum look big . . . . ?
Why didn’t someone change the locks ?
do you mean brown or murphy?
If Brown shakes badly enough we may hear him rattle.
Seems like the absence has given Brown time to recover his rattled nerves. He sounds more confident than usual. I dont expect it’ll last long though.
Writing as a doctor, – I wish to point out that the Beloved + Glorious Leader is full of verve and spunk (the latter term for the benefit of our friends from across the water – esp. Mr. J Odrama, of 1355 MyWalky Ave.)
Steve,
It’s called DRUGS – loads of them and up to the hilt.
Did you hear the pounding noise whenever Brown spoke ? It was Brown hitting the lectern with his fist (great clunking fist? My arse,more like great WANKING fist).
At the end he was goaded into action and could not prevent himself from a momentaary lapse in to Brown rage.
Have no worries,he is mentally unbalanced and will be a trembling wreck by the end of next week.
During the AFG statement, he was doing that funny thing with his leg, where he rubs the arch of his right foot against the calf of his left leg. Like a cricket, attempting to lure a mate.
I knew someone who used to do that; Sclerosis – ‘died eventually.
so nothing on expenses then. the elephant in the room – parliamentary corruption – goes unheard. the guides get a call though. what fucking shit they are.
Dave is just so determined to miss the indefensible goal
History will show what a complete defeat he snatched from the jaws of victory
Really tragic for the kids of the normal classes
Maybe he wants to ensure Gordon “electoral death” Brown stays at the head of the Labour party?
What a shame, watching an assisted breakdown, live on Daily Politics over the next 7 months would at the very least go some minisule way for Brown to pay for what he has carefuly managed to do to our country. (Nuspelling Huntry)
SSSHH! Don’t mention Troughing Pigs…the Shadow Chancellor might get upset!
Sorry to talk about delivery rather than content, but why does GB pronounce words in such a bizarre way? I mean, ‘Alkee Ada’ ! It sounds like he is referring to a sozzled great aunt! And ‘ transPEARant’ is another one that gets my goat. If I didn’t know better, I’d say he was just attention seeking!
Anyone got any other examples of ‘Brownspeak’?
M M M M M Mr Speaker.
I I I I I I ….
10 years now Decayed
I vomit every time he speaks – so many words are tortured;
“Says” becomes Sayyz
He had real trouble with the soldiers names and I felt Harman sits there with everything crossed hoping his head won’t explode.
As for the reading of the names – by God I bet every MP suddenly realised that the first one to talk about expenses and not paying it would have been slaughtered within a few hours by members of the public.
That these cretins were ever elected by anyone to perform any duty of any kind is simply astonishing.
Guid wyth Fuid?
may the force bewith you
Con-stit-yew-ents.
He sounds like an indequately-prepared American actor trying to do a Scots accent while still under the influence of last night’s drug intake.
Robin Williams?
As Mrs Doubtfire.
Demenseeya instead of dementia is a good one. Tw*t can’t even remember how to pronounce it!
Mind you, best go & check on Oxford dic myself
Millions/billions instead of million/billion. “We will spend* another 12 billions on” – no, it’s not a plural word you complete and utter twatmonkey.
* I mean “waste” of course, but he always seems to pronounce that one spend or invest.

This comment has been removed at the request of Carter Ruck
O/T:
I apologise for my harsh comments concerning the ‘Trafigura’ thread.
It just makes me puke that the Guardian and its followers have done more to ensure OUR uneducated lawless kids will be the ones playing in Chinese toxic shit by attacking everything good in this country.
Grauniad no likey racist imperialist korporat exploitation of Africa.
Exactly. Exploitation of Africa should be a white business. How can anyone expect Grauniad readers and Beeb droids to cough up to collective guilt and tepid socialism when the Chinese are crawling all over the place building its infrastructure and doing reciprocally beneficial deals for resources? It makes peddling faux moral superiority a lot harder too, so absent the opportunity to tell them that their own stupidity is responsible for how backward they are, how their sexual proclivities fantasized by whites are what makes them all HIV positive as well as causes excess population AND excess infant mortality, how they are congenitally incapable of learning democracy as their chiefs want to be chiefs whatever the result, how their world music is really cool but they’re never going to match the real cats like Bono and Geldoff, and how they really all should be population controlled for their own benefit. Anyone can be a racist – but it takes a special sort of mind-set, derived from a special sort of education, to be a Grauniad racist.
The Chinese have been stripping parts of Africa bare of palladium and other resources in recent years.
But remember as the guardian narrative tells you; it is all Whitey’s fault that African kings sold them African people as slaves 500 years ago that Africa is being raped by the Chinese today………
Back in the real world:
All the indications are that a massive bull run is underway in the stock markets. My charts indicate a target of 11,550 for the Dow (currently 9,871) and 6,100 for the FTSE (currently 5,255)
If you’re not long on equities you should be asking yourself: why not?
I am not LONG for this world if Brown is not taken out immediately
Because it’s just a blind gamble.
Soft twat.. You needed to be on this run 5 months ago. Too late now.. Only a real twat would recommend the average investor to jump on the FTSE now…
1.57pm
You’re a muppet. This bull run still has a long, long way to run.
The theme of the next 18 to 24 months is equities up, sterling and house prices down.
bullshit run more like you fucking tit.
the banks and therefore the stock markets owe the British taxpayer everything for without us the whole system would have gone tits up.
Shows what they think of all this……… Afghanistan statement ..half the House leaves at the end of PMQ’s shame on them!!!
No mention of expenses, must be first all parties in agreement on what not to ask quetions about
Last word, ace
Thanks Guido – too many leaves on the broadband line again for me today, sadly.
Love

Interesting two page article (from last year) regarding the Nimrod issue.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article3296568.ece
Watching the PMQ’s with a pair of top of the range Sennheiser headphones – picked up at the end of PMQ’s when the PM’s statement was introduced;
Bob Aintworthit got up and moves next to Brown
Bob says to Brown;
“No one goes to Afghanistan without training”
Brown mumbles “wait”
Bob has another go; “Nobody deploys without training,TA or anyone”
Brown tries to look the other way while Bob then puts his arm around Brown’s bottom and continues trying to get the monster to listen.
Fascinating – like watching a station ticket collector dealing with a naughty child.
The question about training was that the TA guy wouldn’t get paid for half his days. So f8ck-wit Ainsworth can’t even get it right anyway.
PMQs all very civilised at present: both Dave and Gordon speaking about the good work being done for injured soldiers at Hedley Court rehab centre and Selly Oak hospital.
Questions over mental health services currently available to traumatised ex-soldiers. Dave says Territorial Army volunteers not getting proper training before having to go out to Afghanistan, and they are being paid for only half of the training days… Dave now getting angry on behalf of one of his constituents in this position. The Gorgon, in patrician mode, and keeping his cool… ‘We are doing everything possible to…
Oh dear me… we are now having to congratulate the girl guides on 100 years ‘service to the community’… Thanks to Madeleine Moon for that.
Back to Afghanistan with Nick Clegg… pointing out corruption of Afghan government… that we are propping up an electoral system full of fraud…
Gordy thinks it is remarkable that any election took place at all… ‘Alkie Ada’… she poses a direct threat to Britain.
Clegg says Karzai must form a government of national unity because his probable ‘win’ is based on complete electoral fraud, with votes being delivered to him by warlords.
Gordy says electoral commission is there to report on it, and they have not reported yet…
Reconfiguration of NHS services in Burnley… yawn…
The ranks behind the front bench are quieter than I expected… Blah blah… Question about pensioners living on savings, and the usual details being trotted out by Gordy: ‘We are taking the measure that are necessary’…
Question about postal strike… Guess what? Gordy says: ‘It is not in the interests of anybody’… Sigh… Everyone in the chamber is on Mogadon, I think…
Aha!… Carter Ruck and ‘secret injunctions’… Peter Bottomley says lawyers concerned should be forced to lodge copies of them in the House of Commons Library and they should be challengeable next day in the Court of Appeal. Gordy too wants to help ‘clear up an unfortunate area of the law’… gentle burbling of approval from all sides…
Carbon capture question… Mmm… Everyone in favour… Move on…
Mortgage providers are not coughing up with mortgages and are offerring terrible rate… Gordy agrees… The PM says he is supporting the building of lots of low cost homes for rent or purchase.
Small overdrafts are too expensive… Boring boring… ‘We get it’… from the back benches… MP sits down. Gordy warbling on about help with cash flow for small businesses … This is definitely a dull PMQs…
Homeless ex-servicemen… jobs for ex-servicemen. Gordy will write to MP concerned.
Far too many children living in poverty in Wales… Opportunity for the Gorgon to burble on about the topic and Nulabour policies in general.
Mark Hunter MP: Is Gordy replacing Nimrods with American planes? No decision yet says the PM. Nimrods are made in Hunters constituency.
Exploitation of foreign workers… Unobjectionable reply. Low level burbling from the benches…
Michael Spicer asks PM: ‘Will he confirm he will soldier on to the bitter end’… Loud braying all round as the house wakes up… Half of them leave, rudely, as Gordy tunes up with a long statement on Afghanistan…
Other than a few Afghanistan questions early on, a very subdued and parochial PMQs…
Good summary,
meanwhile commentary message reframes the disgusting troughing of our ‘Honourable Members’ as a minor gardening incident, MP’s pay up and move on, nothing to see
A true Leader could grab this situation, clean the Augean stables, and take us into a realistic world
shan’t old my breath
Left out the first mortar about politicians making generals and generals making politicians.
It definitely hit its mark, to much merriment. A real morale booster.
Judging from when the General Dannatt politicisation leak happened the night before the Conservitude leader’s speech, Labour are absolutley cock a hoop with the unmasking of General Dannatt and his storm in a tea coup.
Who Dannatt?
Very good summary….
It’s almost as if….
Almost… as.. if…
There’s something else on their minds…?
Reconfiguration of NHS services in Burnley… yawn…
Not a yawnsome topic, bandersnatch. B&P threat there to liebore, no? Liebore have already been accused of gerrymandering NHS funds away from Tory areas. More sauce was it?
You have better knowledge than me on that. I didn’t get the significance and so, wrongly, thought it a trivial local matter…
Brown lecturing the Afghans about corrupt elections. He is the man in the know, Glenrothes, West Midlands Elections and the recent Scottish council elections.
He needs to sort out the UK voting system is free from corruption, before the tells Khazi how to run an election.
The keep Brown in Office Tories won today.
Well at least the hanging of Saddam set a precident
I thought Brown was going to get his trumpet out and march up and down the aisle when he answered the Girl Guides “question”/plant.
He is on so many drugs he is a walking Boots Pharmacy.
ship the f ucker back across the other side of the Forth, – the Fifth . . . anywhere so long as HE (or She) fucks off.
Actually, put the b ugger on a plane for Arf Gorn i stan, – tip the little shit out over a suitable non-landing area.
next week someone will be passing around jammie dodgers whilst the speaker puts up bunting at the PM jamboree….
someone should have asked him if he was ever in the beavers?
He never came nowhere near us – honest guv – he took one look and ran away.
Not a lover of Beaver, ’tis said.
He prefers trumpets.
Anyone notice how when Clegg stands up,the grotty speaker – so impactful I can’t even remember it’s name – does not call for quiet and he then looks like a 6th former trying to answer a question in class while the sink estate scum around him mess around.
Clegg the idiot had the chance to ally up with the Cameroons and instead went for Labour who only paid him lip service and have chucked him away already like a two bit whore.
He deserves everything he gets.
Tell me more about the whore……
Shades of Paddy Ashdown – he threw in his lot with Nu Liebour – it being the winning team. All he got out of it was a photo of himself sitting with the big boys at the cabinet table – then they dumped him like a used keenex. What chumps these Libs are!
Lovely analogy, first proper laugh today,
other than calling Dave ‘Opposition’
Look at the fucker’s eyes! That is not the result of a few cups of Old Government Java.
He’s only got one good eye!
Aye.
MAOIs for one; Windolene for the other.
Pa Broon needs better drugs, and more of them.
He needs a slug in the f ucking ear!
We have a wide range
Needs a 5.56mm cupra-nickel suppository.
Why is it only Britain and America that Alkee Eeda are interested in bringing terror to?
What’s wrong with the streets of Canada, Sweden, Finland, Mexico, Uruguay, Austria, Portugal, The Bahamas, Trinidad & Tobago, Botswana, Ghana, New Zealand etc etc etc?
New Labour use the threat of Terror to justify all their failings. Remember Iraq?
Worth downloading ‘Power of Nigtmares’, 3 part BBC2 documentary covers all of this in depth, BBC showed twice and were due to release on DVD, then 9/11, these very informative films now gather dust

Fucking disgracful. Our Mps rush off to get their dinners as Goron announces we are about to accelerate our Role in the Afghanistan war. These MPs do not give a shit for our boys and girls dying for their cause..They sent them there but do not have the common respect just to listen to what they have voted for.
And where is the oppositon? In agreement, that’s where dave is.
Dave and Clegg had better up their game at next weeks PMQ’s.
That was a pathetic perfromance and did not cover anything we really care about.
It just reveals Westminster as looking after their own interests first.
Role on the election when we can exorcise the cancer of champagne socialists, duck fanciers, property developers and moat improvers and sundry other frauds
I thought they all looked a bit shell shocked. No doubt the expenses crisis is getting them down.
Good.
Agreed.
Perhaps the reading of the names of 37 brave soldiers killed in action over- awed party politics for a while.
Life is hell being an MP. If only these moaning proles knew what i had to go through and i only get a measley 5 months holidays a year.
Keep schtum. Every time he opens his mouth it gets worse for him
Gordon can stew his man bits in a pot of boiling water as far as i care, just go and go now!!
http://newslion.blogspot.com/
“No, nurse – I said ‘prick his boil’.”
Now we can factor in a general election and the possible defeat of Labour I expect steady strengthing of the GBP to 1.18 in February
I still like Gold
I’m investing in fireworks and tickertape
I am investing in stronger locks and a baseball bat because the fun will start before any election.
I am going to purchase a Vienetta and put it in the freezer for the election results
If Vienetta was around in the time of Henry VIII he would eat it every day
I read he liked beaver
Redeemable Viva is and anagram of Medieval Beaver
Not much good if there are powercuts. I’ve stocked up on tinned food. Just need an Uzi sub-machine gun with plenty of ammo and i’m cushtie.
It is not clear to me whether he is sending out 500 more troops to supplement that 700 he sent last time or whether he is sending them to replace that 700 in which case he is reducing numbers by 200.
Secondly he laid down provisos did he not ? – that they would only go if they can be properly equipped.
Well since the ridgeback and helicopter situation has not improved any since the summer and aintbustinagut is still wingeing that he doesn’t know how to improve the equipment situation, it doesn’t seem likely that gordon’s proviso will be met does it?!!
“Gordon Brown also insisted Nato countries must bear their “fair share” of the mission by sending more troops of their own”
So, just how many combat troops are our friends & partners in the EU sending from France & Germany?
Or are they just upping the armed escort delivery of Merlot & Sausages to the Embassy partys in Kabul – as usual?
I thought they survived on a diet of Ferroro Rocher.
We have all learned that you have to speak “brown” to understand his convoluted duplicity. And in this case you are right. He will send none.
500 troops – that’s less than a battalion. If you factor in all the necessary support troops it’s barely two rifle companies.
I know British troops are good but no matter how Nogbad they are 200 extra riflemen (max) isn’t a whole lot of firepower.
he can’t afford any more troops.
The truth of the matter is we probably could end the Afghan war if we where allowed to bomb the camps in the mountains and Pakistani camps.
No, we cannot do that.
We have a different strategy.
We are giving Pakistan £1 billion a year to close these camps.
Estimated time to completion – 14 years.
14 years & 14 billion quid to do something Cruise missiles could achieve in an afternoon.
DFID is the only growth area in the UK economy now.
TRUTHSAYER IS RIGHT, THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IS MORE BOMBING
WE SIMPLY HAVE NOT BOMBED ENOUGH AFGHAN WEDDINGS
AND WE HAVE NOT TORUTURED HALF ENOUGH DIRTY AFGHANS
THAT IS WHERE WE ARE GOING WRONG
GEORGE BUSH WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID WE MUST BOMB THEM INTO THE STONE AGE
HOLD ON THOUGH, THEY ALREADY ARE IN THE FUCKING STONE AGE!
OH SHIT WE WILL HAVE TO GO AWAY AND THINK ABOUT THIS A BIT MORE
BUT WE WILL BE BACK SOON WITH MORE MILITARY BULLSHIT
Brown has one of these but it has to be used with hot air!! ( I’m no B/L fan)
You can buy a pretty good Air Conditioning unit for two hundred quid.
What happens when the shit hits the Dyson fan?
Well @ 16 x input v output shit >>> with flow like bullet through butter… don’t get in the way of path.
shit <<<<<<< come right back at source.
Note to self… beware of breeze up kilt
How many people have ever considered the problem of being “buffetted” by a fan? Is this an example of a design built to fulfil a requirement or a “clever trick” for which a useful reason has to be deduced.
Who cleans a fan? Who cares?
James Dyson cares.
Oh yes, and his “hygenic” hand washers where you put your hands in a narrow enclosure where they contact two yellow pieces of rubber (as the opening is too small) at which point it blasts all the piss/water (piss in the case of northerners) straight up at your face. As useful as a dogshit dildo.
Harry Wallop comes on at 3.20
Don’t knock it even if he has outsourced all his manufacturing to China, air conditioning units use an awful lot of juice (= £££)
Next week’s PMQs will be gagged.
Will make no difference. The output will be the same. We are on our own now it seems, us plebs.
That fan is an ingenious solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. “I like my rotary fan but i wish the air coming off it wasn’t so rough and choppy…”
Next up : the ‘solution’ to the loud ticking sound your watch makes.
Sounds like an April Fool gag to be honest.
I think Gordon Browns implicit use of the 37 dead soldiers to gain a upper hand in PMQ’s beggars belief.
This is a newly instigated PMQ’s ritual started by Blair to enable him to gain a upper hand.
I really hope you’re wrong.
If there’s any truth to it, I hope he loses his sight.
It would be the least the b*stard deserves…
Too right, and the way he kept thanking the opposition for their tributes and support of the troops was sickening. As if there was a chance they might not.
He’s the same as Salmond with his Father of the nation act
Much like Blair’s appeal to keep his family out of the media -quickly followed by the entire coven posing for snaps ad nauseam.
Guido called them all vipers earlier – if unwatched they will bite.
I agree – laid it on too thick – at every opportunity
Too much. Act of a desperate man !!!
TWAT !!!
DC should have asked a single associated question – waited a bit – then steamed into the craven bastard with five others
Prior to the 1st gulf war, last action the troops had was either N.I. or Falklands? Were lists of the dead read out in PMQs back in those days ….?
I’m an all round gay hating, infidel hating, mysgonist bigot and I love the tories.
We don’t wish to know that, kindly leave the stage.
You missed “illiterate”. It’s misogynist.
The military asks for thousands of extra troops, otherwise they can’t do the job.
Brown say he’s been asked for 500 which is clearly a lie.
The conversation would have gone thus:
Military: “We need a minimum of 2000 extra troops to do the job, and that’s just a minimum that’ll keep the dogs at bay temporarily”
Brown: “You’re not getting them. I’ll give you a choice:
a) Get no extra troops, get a reduction in your equipment budget, and fuck off
or:
b) Ask me for 500 troops and keep quiet about how many you originally asked for, and I’ll give you a maximum of 500 and put loads of string attached.”
Military: “If that’s my only choice, then I choose b”
Brown: “Ok, so now I can say in public that you only asked me for 500 troops”
Brown’s an evil bastard. The truth will come out about his blatent lies and his evil blackmailing tactics.
Brown is a sociopath, and, like all those with a severe personality disorder, he lies blatantly and without shame or conscience.
He is determined to drive the country to bankruptcy and will then try to blame the Tories for it when they get in next year and try to sort out the horrendous mess.
But what is the usual manner?
Don’t forget Nick Clegg wants to be our next Prime Minster(hey stop laughing at the back there).
In the film Wag the Dog an imaginary President’s advisers faked a war to distract public attention from the President’s affair with a girl guide. Today a Labour MP asked a parliamentary question about girl guides to distract public attention from a war and a budget deficit and rising unemployment and the Lisbon Treaty and parliamentary expenses……
Gordon is now a pathetic shambles.
