Hello Turkeys, Meet Christmas
Paul Waugh’s story that five unamed Labour MPs in ‘safe’ seats are threatening to resign and cause by-elections is a great wheeze. All five of them, we are told, are planning to stand down at the next election anyway. They will resign in protest if Gordon doesn’t curb Legg’s review. Waugh reports a cowardly off the record MP as saying “It’s Gordon’s nightmare – by-elections in safe seats in the depths of winter..”.
Guido says go on then turkeys*, what are you waiting for, Christmas? Come out into the spotlight, show us your principles…
*Yes, it is a picture of a piggy, not a turkey. The cartoonist has gone missing.
Hurry Hurry We might have a little bit left for Christmass. Did Gordo send them troops, Looks like Obama aint as daft as he looks and has stopped his lads going. Time to pull out EH? Then we can get back to fixing the real Economy.
The Inquisition
GO ON THEN PULL THE TRIGGER YOU COWARDS!
Gadzooks – in complete agreement with Thick as Shit – crazy days indeed!
A better evening standard headline
Mayor threatens ‘cockroach’ bankers with windfall tax
Cockroach bankers, no doubt the very same major donaters to the Conservichewed Party coffers.
hmmm…..
See you all on November 5th
http://bastardoldholborn.blogspot.com/2009/10/november-5th-walk-details.html
The mayor has no such powers. Goerge Osborne hinted at such a measure in his conference speech when the Conservatives come to power shortly.
It is too late – 12 years too late – for Labour to suddenly take an interest in the City other than to have share in the spoils at the end of every tax year.
Financial misconduct = Labour
I like to think I am forming a coalition of the unwilling.
welcome aboard dick.
They will not dare. They do not have the guts! The vast majority of Labour MPs are utter cowards and liars and thieves by their nature. It is in their DNA. If any of them had an ounce of courage, or honesty or decency, then we would NOT have gone to war in Iraq, we would not have ID cards at all and we would have had a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
And we would not STILL have Gordon Brown as our unelected PM!
I like the idea of a previous poster who suggested that the five Labour MPS should be joined by all Conservative and Liberal MPs.
Looking at these MPs and their actions; their intention is blackmail; it has nothing to do with democracy, electoral mandates, justice, or anything else.
Brown will of course give in, but Clegg and Cameron need to do what is right.
For everybody; a line needs to be drawn under expenses, and a new clean start made. An election is the only way.
EXACTLY! GROW A PAIR GEORGE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOU OWN PARTY GETS RID OF YOU.
GIVE THE PEOPLE A GENERAL ELECTION!!!!!!!
We don’t know what’s in Peter Hain MP’s DNA. He won’t give a sample of it so that he can be eliminated from police enquiries into the bank robbery that two independent eyes witnesses fingered him for, back in SA, in his yoof. Still, being tried and convicted of Criminal Conspiracy at the Old Bailey in 1972 will ensure a slice of the criminal vote, as will the £103,000.00 that he ‘forgot’ to declare in his failed leadership campaign. Don’t forget he pays his 84 yr old mother to be his ‘secretary’ from the public purse as well.
we know what your genetic make up is english skive-king:100% retard.
innit.
So Hain was a suspect for a bank robbery. Did the robber get as much back then as his £103,000 now?
Knows what’s in Peter Hain MP’s DNA.
60% Boots spray on tan
0.1% Decency
0.1% Morality
0.1% Remorse
0.1% Humanity
0.1% Genuine desire to help his constituency

well said
English Viking it wasn’t in SA. Without checking I think it was Catford or somewhere?
No. Just checked. It was Barclays in Putney.
There were some reports of a double employed by BOSS.

November the 5th has come early
Do the punks feel lucky?
…and does Lucky mind?
The Turkeys this year are bootiful………
It is looking increasingly pointless, I don’t think the war against the taleban is unwinnable, but rather that whatever institution WE put in place is likely to revert back to tribal/warlord rule anyway..
It seems a bit futile, and I’m saying this as a supporter of wide-ranging action against the taleban…
what have the taleban ever done against you axe?
I’m not allowed my weekly Chicken Tikka Marsala now, in case some of the cost goes to fund the Taliban.
Fear not Nursie – Chicken Tikka Masala is the no 1 favourite British dish these days so no ’3rd party terrsts’ are involved:
quote from 1999:
Wednesday, November 3, 1999
UK
India gets a taste of UK tikka
A firm favourite of Britain’s ever-increasing band of curry lovers, chicken tikka masala is nonetheless an unknown quantity in authentic Indian cuisine.
It was created to cater for the delicate British palate – and now the demands of UK tourists have led hotels in Bombay and Dhaka to put the dish on their menus.
end quote
(note – ‘delicate’ British palate lol)
and that from Al Jabeeba lolrofllmao:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/503680.stm
Whilst most “Indian” restaurants (by number) are Pakistani, most Pakistanis are not rabid Taleban supporters, in fact more likely the opposite.
If you are still worried Nursie apparently the more upmarket you go the more likely the restaurant is a Bengali one so Sikh and not Muslim.
If the restaurant owner’s missus is serving alcoholic drinks in a brightly coloured sari you are most likely in a Hindu establishment.
Whatever. The best way of stifling Taleban funding is either to stop taking recreational drugs or hope someone knocks some sense into the Saudis.
Just my opinion (based upon around 40 years worth of curry dinners).
Well I’m generally in favour of regimes that don’t execute women (in public) for any accidental or deliberate breaches of full burkha attire.
I think they also did very genuinely provide vast resources and safe havens for terrorists, it’s rather fashionable to ignore it all and say “fuck it” but of the troops I know who’ve been out there most of them are of the view that we should be there, which is in stark contrast to iraq.
The Taleban were a pet project gone very wrong, and sadly the US/UK/Pakistani govts have all played their part, but I think allowing afghanistan to revert to what was there, a regime of utter terror on the civilian population is no option.
Unfortunately this is futile unless the afghan army can become more than a milita, and the government has the support of the people who are naturally wary and fearful that forces will simply pull out and they will be executed as collaborators.
I think you have to look at how life was like for people living with taleban rule, nightly broadcasts of miscreants, a terrifying place to be and a wonderful asset for anyone wishing to plot.
so, following your own logic, you think we should invade the fascist saudi arabian regime and do a bit of liberal interventionist regime change by taking out the fascist saudi royal family?
I find our alliance with the house of Saud particularly disagreeable, but the reason what you suggest as “my logic” is impractical is primarily because we have armed them to the teeth with the latest weapon systems.
They are despotic, cruel, wield power in the name of religion, and have no regard for freedom of expression.
Saudi Arabia is an example of a despotic monarchy that has been propped-up by the US/UK, but the key difference is that their activities don’t directly adversely affect us, in the case of the Taleban we have 80+ percent of opium, and a good proportion of (until the war) international terrorism based there and SUPPORTED by them.
oh dear you are very slow.
why are you so slow?
in afghanistan the taleban is made up of local afghans.
the taleban never attacked anybody. we went there. remember?
alqaeda on the other hand are an entirely saudi arabian invention. they are a result of the saudi arabian fascist regime which does not allow them to operate in the kingdom and so alqaeda has become an international problem, murdering innocent civilians and travelling to wherever there are soldiers to fight.
by withdrawing from afghanistan in an orderly and negotiated fashion we will be triggering the demobilisation of alqaeda.
we can patrol the borders which would be more effective.
and when we leave the taleban will kick alqaeda straight out of the country. let’s not forget the taleban were effectively forced into a coalition with alqaeda in afghanistan.
we can deal with the taleban.
it is time to get alqaeda on the run. militarily and politically.
the saudis should be pulling their weight more though, after all, alqaeda is a result of saudi policy.
We would resist an Afghan Army coming over here and forcing us to have rigged elections to keep Gordon in Power. Why should the taliban be any different?
Right but if gordon brown held nightly public executions of people (like us) who were in any way critical of his rule in wembly stadium, whilst requiring that females were destined for forced marriage, and killed anyone who even attempted to educate them in schools you may feel less inclined.
It’s a preposterous logic to apply, worthy of a grade-A fuckwit.
Axe Rant Imp says: ‘It’s a preposterous logic to apply, worthy of a grade-A fuckwit.’
You must be the first poster on here who has ever taken his own argument apart so precisely.
Well it seems to me that those who live in the UK rarely appreciate the difference between regimes like the taleban and what they enjoy.
We all sit here proudly enjoying the right to say whatever we want about our government yet most people also have no idea of what it’s actually like to live in a country where there is no way to do so without endangering yourself.
Explain how my argument is taken apart? He suggests the taleban are rightfully defending “their” sovereignty as we would, and my point is that it’s absolutely impossible to compare the two, and that in any case, the Taleban aren’t even mainly afghans…
Don’t be a Tit all your life. As soon as NATO troops pull out the Taliban will take power again. They can’t be all that Bad ask the CIA who funded, armed and trained them.
“can’t be all that bad”..
Right well thanks for that nugget of wisdom. Perhaps you should try travelling a little and see what you think of them first-hand..
Yep that is what Humans do. They demonise whole tribes who do not agree with their tribe. I hate to disappoint you but if you were to live in a Taliban village then you would come across normal peacful people. dwelling amongst those you hate and fear.
And, if you knew what you were talking about you’d realise that the Taleban never really had any popular support, they were simply better funded than the northern alliance and were able to suppress local dissent better through the use of the most abominable collective punishment imaginable.
Afghanistan was only “taleban” due to their lack of hesitation to brutally kill wherever it suited them, to a degree that even pre-extant warlords were shocked by.
And they have proliferated in Pakistan using the identical same methods, even usurping tribal loyalties…
Karzai hasn`t got any popular support. BBC are reporting that he is a fraud and rigged the election.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8314613.stm
The point is that what Afghans want is stability, like everyone else, they aren’t readily shouting the praises of democracy because it’s been ill-managed (as with iraq) filled with latent corruption from the warlords who have been quick to fill the void, and above everything else they believe that our words are cheap, that we will simply fuck off when convenient, and leave them to the reprisals of the Taleban.
I would personally prefer that we stick it out, it’s not impossible, and we said we would to the people who actually put their entire lives and families lives on the line to support us.
I am not entirely sure that you are right.
The Taleban give up their lives for what they believe in, however wrong we may think they are.
How many British people, (apart from the armed forces) would do the same?
We have quietly put up with having our country taken over by the EU, and being robbed blind by a corrupt Parliament.
Where is the line in the sand for the average Brit?
But those are opinions, we always retain the right to opt out of the EU, and could do so if the public will supported it, for or against lisbon it actually doesn’t affect the average uninterested person any more than any other act of eurocracy.
We shouldn’t presume that the expenses scandal has actually undermined our democracy to the extent that hysteria would have you believe. Guido is promoting this fury as much beacuse it equates to page-hits for him as anything else, traffic declines otherwise, but keep a sense of scale here, you are still free..
What you say is true up to a point ARI, but I strongly suspect that the EU agenda is to cut the UK down to size — they are after the City’s business and that will be next… Frankfurt has always been a rival and a French/German dominated EU will do its best to achieve the financial center of gravity moving there instead of London.
Once that’s happened, we really are out in the cold… a bankrupt economy with no way of earning our way back.
Plus – and this is comparatively minor – the average Brit is more interested in Jordan’s tits than in removing Jacqueeeeeee’s tits from the public gaze with a contribution to the legal fighting fund.
Pensions and resettlement packages dear boy, that is what it is all about.
Just a point. If these 5 pieces of dogturd resign I am supposing they still receive a parliamentary pension just slightly less than if they had remained in place until the last moment ie 06/10 ?
Would it make any difference to their enttlement to “resettlement allowances”?
Turkey’s are preferable to pigs particularly halal ones
I’ve only once tasted porkchops, “killed by the halal method”, and that was ironically in Turkey. Bloody delish they were.
I’m a vegetarian and watch my carnivorous friends drop like poleaxed steers when their tickers stop. Turkeys taste like soggy facecloths. Yuk.
Turkey’s what are preferable to pigs? Turkey’s sheep? Anyway, you don’t get halal pigs so you are not a Muslim and I claim my £5.
Not sure you’ll be having Christmas any more once we’ve used our EU right of free movement to occupy, er visit your pretty little islands (thank you Ireland) once we’re fully in the “club”.
How many will resign and thereby lose their golden parachutes? Not any, I think.
Come on then Piggies, get your dirty snouts out of the trough and resign. What’s that? You won’t? Damn liars, cheats and cowards.
Any hint of who the harikari five are?
They’re so proud and principled they wish to remain anonymous.
So they can deny it later, of course.
This lot…
Nice one.
For rast time, it ‘harakiri’, dumb-ass gaijin!
You lepeat after me now: Ha_La_Ki_Li_!!!
That’s Ha_Ra_Ki_Ri.
BTW it’s ka ra oh ke not carry okee

Not in Norfolk it isn’t. The Japs never could speak properly.
But who cares about norfolk…

Toy-Motor
Toyota? If I’ve got to have an ota, I’d rather have a real one.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
The Hunts won’t stand down as they will lose their final pay off next year. Fucking fat bastard Liebour wankers.
The key point, and why nothing will come of it. Squeal piggies squeal.
Fucking fat bastard Liebour wanker chickenshit cowards you mean!
I stand corrected sir.
as they will lose their final pay off next year.
Money is certainly at the root of this but the final payoff needs to be balanced against what they’re being asked to pay back. Call me cynical but 5 MPs think it is the financially viable thing to do. It has got fuck all to do with principle. The fact that they’ve overclaimed and want to keep it tells me they are lacking in integrity.
But in any case I think Brown will be long gone before they have to put their money where their mouths are.
And just when you think that NuLiebore could not foul up this scandal any further – they actually go and do so. A remarkable talent for consistently proving us all wrong.
I thought they also got a lower pension if they resign before an election? Can someone actually confirm what these thieving bastards get if they stand down before an election as opposed to what they get if they hang on to the end?
Here, here. Hang the bounders, I say.
Why don’t you go somewhere where someone cares?
Perhaps the Playschool site…
He sees everything through the square window anyway
I say, wouldn’t referring to ‘Humpty’ be seen as a ‘fattist slur’ these days….sheesh – what have we allowed ourselves to become?
When it comes to politicians I don’t believe a word they say!!

These five need to be hanged (out to dry) in the media.
Disgusting, filthy troughers.
What more do you expect from people elevated to positions above their competency or intellect (same goes for most Labour MPs). Shove em back down the disused coalpits. Oh no, hang on – none of them are working class, they’re all champagne commies.
In that case, perhaps a show trial?
The ironic part of all this is they have the temerity, the arrogance to call themselves ” Honourable”.
Now, scuse moi everso, but ive also heard of another bunch of thieving fucks who call theselves by that same Monika; The Mafia.
We need to find out who these fucks are and destroy them because thats what theyre attempting to do to us, along with all the other ” honourable” members.
Hang em high from the Tyburn Tree.
Hope you fuck off soon.
any idea who the five are cos if we know we can send them emails wishing them every happiness in retirement
names please………….
But what will Stephen say??
http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2148&Itemid=75
Stephen Fry is a wonderful comedian, writer, actor and a terrific entertainer, he is intelligent, witty and a national institution. However his politics makes me puke and despite being entitled to his opinion, that is all it is. An opinion. And a shite, fucked up, opinion from his own self-admittedly deranged mind.
His pronouncements are NOT the word of God, they are the views of a left-wing intellectual bedded in a homosexual, manic depressive psyche and thus his political views are shaped thus.
Stick to telling jokes Stephen and stop asking us to vote for them.
He tried to “top” himself once, all over my nan’s front carpet – Bas**ard
Cant really top that.
Indeed, Fry is an extremely funny and entertaining ‘celeb’ and just that. He is free to air his political views and we are as free to laugh at them as much as we laugh at his wit and humour.
He’s also a thief who did 3 months in prison for stealing a credit card, so, he’s not a luvvie, he’s a fucking crook.
He’s an ex-public schoolboy Oxbridge with a grudge… a grudge that the BBC has nurtured, he’s on EVERYTHING! Stephen Fry in the jungle, Stephen Fry blubbing over baby turtles…
The BBC think Stephen Fry is “a stupid person’s idea of what an intelligent person looks like.”
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article6823233.ece
Every time a new series is previewed and his face pops up again my heart sinks.
Alas, the real joke is that we are forced to pay for the BBC. Kill it now it has no place in the multi channel, digital world we now live in.
Stephen Fry in the USA despairing over retreating glaciers. I was amazed they still had some.
Seconded.
Financial misconduct = Conservatives
That’s not entirely accurate.
Financial misconduct = £175bn deficit = Labour
Guidiot the Oaf, that’s hunting dealt with then.
And just as the chase was on.
Well, we all know how the BBC would report this story, even Alex Salmond has given his opinion of the BBC…..
Ive actually watched the full piece prior to the interview with Alex Salmond and I found it a complete disgrace by the BBC . They ‘asked’ a carraige load of passengers on an underground train if the wanted Independence, unsurprisngly there ws a marginal number not in favour but this was held up by the bbc as some degree of accurate sampling. Then the interviewed a ‘Scottish Businessman’
who was Andy Smilie of AS Scafolding, was he a random choice. No he wasnt as
he is a well known Anti Independence pro unionist who featured in a list provided by Labour of busiessmen against Independence. The BBC knew this as his name appears on the BBC website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/6591039.stm)
No wonder Alex Salmond said WOW
Other people may have said something stronger
The BBC bias is well known in Scotland, and is rife in the BBC in London
Its not Gordons worst nightmare

too right
I bet Baron Fondlebum plays “The biscuit game” with McMental to keep him sweet
Gordon never sleeps – he’s getting on with the job of turning Britain into a third-world wasteland.
First we need names and secondly can someone clarify what sort of payout they’ll lose (if any) if they stand down early.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RESIGN – JUST DO IT
All the non Labour MP’s and Cameron and Clegg should form a pact to have the 290 MP’s resign and force a defacto general election.
Coupled with the 5 Labour refuseniks we could have 295 seats or 46% up for grabs.
If Brown has no balls to call an election, let everyone else do it for him.
It is the only way that Cameron could get the referendum he CLAIMS he wants! Let’s see if he has the balls to do it?
Half eye would still carry on regardless
They are either a) Very Brave (b) Very Stupid or (c) So far up their own arses with self-importance to think they will actually coast back into Parliament. All very dangerous concepts in the present anti-sleaze anti-politicians climate and are there actually any “safe” seats anymore given the aforementioned ? – the danger is that they may think so but once the campaign gets going they could find that their so called “safe” seat isn’t anymore. You can guarantee that once they declare the media and opposition parties will go into overdrive publishing their expense claims which better be for the minimum amount; reasonable and proportionate; minus any “Corby Trouser Presses”, no flipping of homes and no employment of relations in any capacity otherwise they could meet the “shit storm” coming back to hit them full frontal
And I can’t really see the voters being particularly supportive of these “chumps”
Bill Etherington – Sunderland North – is one of the five.
thanks for owning up Bill
He’s already said he is not going to go to the electorate at the next general election (so stand down) FFS. Bwaaah!, Bwahh! I divent want to pay me expenses back, geordie fucker!.
“geordie fucker!.”
He isn’t! He is from Sunderland therefore he is a mackem bastard.
Sorry, tacems, macems, (north or south of the Tyne) sand dancers. Like the people (but not Etherington).
They are all northern socialist fucking monkeys to me mate.
One has never been to Soonerlund; and one has no intention of ever going back…
Fucking delicious!
(I like the Goerdies though; top lads, in the main, and many gorgeous women with attitude.)
‘Geordies’ duh! Fucking eyesight…
Fucking delicious!
perhaps the 5 have received demands for repayments that are higher than the benefits that they would receive by hanging on therefore it is cheaper for them to walk now and make a point to brown.
you surely don’t think it would purely be a matter of principle?
Don’t they get up to £64k pay off when they leave Parliament?
That’s a hell of a lot of cleaners & gardeners… unless the calls for mortgages & flipping to be investigated next has got them worried. In which case, I’d expect more than 5 of them to quit.
If this report is true there won’t be £64k for anybody…
http://conservativehome.blogs.com/platform/2009/10/brooks-newmark-mp-exposing-the-true-scale-of-labours-hidden-tax-bombshell.html
Says we owe 157% of our GDP… we are truly fucked.
Bloody hell.
I’ve been quoting a figure of £1370 billion for National Debt, a figure I took from the Telegraph. Seems they underestimated quite considerably.
I believe total National Debt was £340 billion in 1997. According to Newmark’s paper, the present government managed to increase this by £346 billion in ONE year – last year. The total now estimated (probably conservatively) at £2,200 billion. That’s £36,065 for every man, woman and child in the country, assuming a population of 61 million.
Again I say, Bloody Hell.
Or £85k per household. That’s nearly half the value of the average house… pissed against a wall.
How the fuck did the one eyed twat manage to do this much damage and still have less than four fifths of fuck all to show for it?
What the fuck did he do with it all??

Guido, have you signed the STOP BLAIR petition http://www.stopblair.eu yet?
Guido might not have done but I just have.
Me too.
Had to be done!!
Blair is a Botty boy, just like Brown and Mandelscum.
Resign? no chance, they will ‘stand down’, that means they do not apply for re-election and walk off with £300,000 golden goodbye and pension rights, they will stand down because they no they have no chance of being re-elected.
Poor bluff!.
Not a fucking penny until all this is sorted out I say.
NOT ONE FUCKING RED CENT.
Given the length of time it has taken to hold the Glasgow North East by-election if these clowns did resign their seats they would not be contested until approaching the general election anyway.
The glorious comrades of the Glasgow North East Red Army IVth Division are surrounded and running low on supplies of A4 and paperclips. The pigdogs of the VIIth SNP Panzer Division are at the gates. Prepare for a long winter, comrade.
This kind of inevitable infighting will only get worse as the new labour experiment draws to a close. I saw flippin Ed Balls on telly just this lunchtime whining about some other senior labour figure, both their dirty washing flying high in public for all to see. It must have been like this on the Titanic.
Time to pull up a chair, crack open a sixpack and enjoy the fireworks.
Balls was whining about Barry Sheerman, who described him (Balls) as a bully.
Yes they really are at each others’ throats aren’t they
Boys . . . boys . . .!
You must be nice to each to each
or we’ll spank you on your bare bottys with your trousers pulled RIGHT DOWN!
and then we’ll rub cream on the red parts while you bend over our knees.
Come to think of it, – let’s do that anyway!
You are max Moseley and i claim my £5.
Isn’t it time that Rory Bremner started a weekly commentary (or daily) a le Jon Stewart?
“I saw flippin Ed Balls on telly just this lunchtime whining…”
Are you sure he wasn’t trying to receive a fax?
But will the 5 MP’s have enough time to do the deed,after all we only have 50 days before the world ends or could Gordo save us just like he saved the NHS from collapse.
You are wrong it’s now only 49 days and 16 hours 22 mins left – I have the “Doomsday Clock” placed on my desk in Downing Street and its ticking .But despair not !People of the World I am ready to save you(again!)
Just like I saved the world you mean?
Yes dear. Come back to your little padded room next to Gordy.
Warning! Warning! Drought, floods, plague of frogs and pestilence, Gordon’s going to announce the construction of the New Labour Ark to be built at Glasgow shipyard, it will be filled with two of everything, and if there is any room left over they may manage to squeeze in some of the other animals.
y’kno – like shags and then produces young . . offspring . . . New Life . . ‘n that?
Or
Just shags . . ?
There’s a subtle difference.
Still, with Noo_Lie_Bore, or ‘Parasites-R-Uz’ they’ll live off everyone else as usual anyway.
Just hoping the Gordo Doom factor kills the global warming crap just like he destroys everything else he touches.
UKIP are going broke.

That’s cos Al Faraj has gone and bought Portsmouth FC.
Excellent.
Who are the 5 Conservitude refuseniks mentioned in the Waugh piece?
Bring it on…!! Says something about this mob, they don’t resign when they should, Smith, Uddin, etc, but they are going to because of the expenses scam… fucking typical of NuLabour, what a shower.!!
I wrote a book on ‘Courage’ once.
It wasn’t very good – or very successful.
But my boys must ‘of’ read it, – and been inspired.
Good for them.
Did I tell you I saved the world? – Well, – actually – and this is a secret – I created it in 6 days, – or was it seven?
Doesn’t much matter – I’m a miracle worker . . . . . . . oh nurse – surely not time already is it?
Frank Field is one isn’t he?
He could be two, depends…
I think he is one you know.
He looks like one.
He’s Juan.
Slovakia may try to negotiate an opt-out clause in the European Union’s Lisbon treaty to protect itself from potential post-war property claims if the Czechs manage to do so first, its prime minister said yesterday.
Czech President Vaclav Klaus, the only EU leader who has not ratified the treaty, threw up a last minute hurdle last week when he said he would not sign it until the bloc added such a footnote to the Czech version.
He said his demand’s main aim was to prevent families of some three million Sudeten Germans expelled after World War Two from circumventing Czech courts and seeking EU high court rulings on claims concerning land seized under the so-called Benes Decrees.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico yesterday said his government may ask for a similar clause if their former federation partners Czechs succeed. Czechoslovakia split peacefully into the Czech and Slovak republics in 1993.
“We will not leave Slovakia in uncertainty if we feel that one of the seceding countries of former Czechoslovakia has negotiated an exception,”
Perhaps its good tactics. Either:
a) losing their seat early might mean they can keep the cash.
b) The massive boil of public anger might be slightly lanced by the by-elections, and depending on which way the pustulent mess splatters might mean labour might do better in the GE. nah maybe not.
They represent constituencies where half the population are on benefits and the other half are stealing from their employers, so they have little to fear.
Bring. It. On.
Speaking of missing cartoonists, where’s the Monday Morning View? I like to see it slagged off in the comments.
They actually produced something funny for once…. so it was pulled.
ASBO and tag ‘em!
Yes please resign away, then we will see whats more important the 30K kick back (plus) if they stay till the election, or, resign no and get bugga all. principals.
I am not holding my breath for M P’s principals….
More bollocks and Bluster.
When I see an
elephantPIG fly!I think these MP’s should seek out the moral high ground pull their heads in and get on with it . At a time many of us have been struggling finanially, it should be encumbent on ALL mps to realise the privalage lifestyles they have but not rub it in the electorates face at every oppertunity ” We don’t like it!”, as the forth comming election may show up some suprises!
they dont like it up ‘um Mr Mainwaring…
Now is surely the time to petition the Queen to dissolve Parliament and call a General Election. If enough sign it will provide the legitimacy that will compell her to do so.
I think the Queen knows what’s happening but like the rest of the establishment doesn’t care about us plebs,if the Queen said a few well chosen words this misery would have been over a long while ago,she’s lost any respect I had for her.
Yes, the queen. She wouldn’t do any troughing now would she?
Don’t talk about me like that, ducky I know where you live and will have you sorted out.
Anally?
It is one minute to midnight for this government, times up, just go, the economy is shot, the education system is shot, the transport system is shot, which ever way you turn it is all falling apart, everyone for themseleves, last one leaving turn off the lights (at least that may save the planet)!
I was told on here that the queen had no power. It seems to me that a person who can “dissolve” parliament has a lot of power. Was the queen elected to her position?
If only she would. Ritualised play-acting is what she does best. She will dissolve parliament when she is told to do so and not before.
“The Sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights – the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn.” – Walter Bagehot.
Er sorry nothing there about the rights of dismissing a Prime Minister even if he is a complete loon. I am sorry to say that THAT is the right of the Cabinet as the Prime Minister is merely ” Primus Inter Pares” – “First amongst Equals(actually Jeffrey Archer wrote a bestseller(?) under that title which was made into a ITV mini-series in the 1980′s but that is of totally no value to the argument but I thought I’d just throw it in for good measure!!!)
Legg is said to be after the flippers.
May be one or more of these five is not a backbencher but a member of the Cabinet, or maybe one or members of cabinet are behind the scenes.
On a totally different topic, Darling has been very quiet lately.
And Dave

And everybody.
I didn’t think that Cameron was a flipper.
No one should be immune from scrutiny and anybody who feels a vulnerability and wishes to be re-elected should pre-empt Legg, make their position clear and make voluntary repayments if they feel it appropriate to do so.
It is within the power of Parliament to end its own suffering by calling an election. Their misery is self inflicted.
And Chump – sorry, Hoon.
The carrot topped one maybe? – she was a serial flipper and she is a backbencher now.
Plus ca change!
No names I notice, so probably no-one else will investigate
Just let them resign, they won’t get that fat severance, and then we can chase them through the courts to pay the money back too
GORDONS ALIVE!
But he only has 50 days to save the world…………but he’s done it before…………………..so that’s alright then.
“Flash…I love you, but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth …”
I wouldn’t get your hopes up. He can’t even decide which biscuit to have with his morning cuppa.
Should that not be ‘mourning cuppa’? After all, he’s about to lose his job. Quisling bastard…
Fucking delicious!
No way – not Liebore filth. The fascist scum will hang on till the very last second to thieve as much as they can.
Liebore MPs are dirty evil criminal pigs.
That’s right. And all Tories are honest as are Lib dems. This means that I am now in the clear.
If Legg hones in on mortgages and flipping–and let’s hope he does–Gideon Osborne is in real trouble. He won’t be the only one, of course, and I’m all for wiping the lot of ‘em, frankly. But the chinless boy wonder is about to bite the dust, methinks…
Surely the deadly duo of Balls-Cooper and their double flipping expenses must be the juiciest story to come out.
O/T
Meanwhile, those awfully nice people over at Mrs Dale’s are introducing a Book of the day Feature. I suspect this will culminate (look it up) in a weekly list of the previous weeks top 7 books.
Hain is a twat.
Good point well made.
Didn’t you miss out: self serving, dishonest, self righteous, preening etc ad nauseam?
Forgot “posturing” and “vapid”.
A poster boy for Tango.
These labour MP’s are so cowardly. They know they need to get rid of gordon if they are going to limit the damage at the next election- yet none of them dare move.
Then Legg and the expenses scandal comes along to disrupt their comfy troughing little world and they are threatening, anonymously, to resign if gordon won’t call Legg off. They don’t have the courage of their convictions to face off their critics.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/6375092/MPs-expenses-Scotland-Yard-chief-says-more-MPs-could-face-investigation.html
One thing I am pleased about , despite MP’s saying they are going to try and use Parliamentary privelege to protect them against prosecution, Scotland Yard has said this afternoon that they are continuing with investigations into 5 MP’s and that they believe more will follow.
Headless chickens in the phrase that comes to mind when I think about how these Labour MP’s are behaving.
Hmmm. Any Tories you are concerned about? Liberals? Winterton? Osborne, Kirkbride, Cash, perchance?
Know you what you are saying? Ge thee back to central office.
Party’s irrelevant – all MP’s who have over-indulged on their expenses and get demands from Legg must payback – anyone who has imroperly not paid taxes must face the HMRC and any MP that has broken the law must be prosecuted by Scotland Yard.
At the moment though – it is Labour MP’s who are saying they are taking their case to their lawyers, Labour MP’s who are saying they are going to seek Parliamentary Privelege to avoid prosecution, Labour MP’s who are threatening to reign if gordon doesn’t call Legg off.
Funny how you never ever mention anyone but Labour. Get thee back to Central Office, troll.
Nope. Not a member of any political party although I’ve made no secret of the fact that I think the tories will make for better government next time around.
“…yet none of them dare move…”
Nell -
Have you seen the size of some these heifers?
tsk! resign not reign
Watch this space. The Tories will be there any minute.
And I like this even better.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/mps-could-have-salaries-docked-over-expenses-1804879.html
The Committee for Standards and Priveleges has agreed a nuclear ruling for any MP who refuses to pay Legg’s demands.
They will have the money docked from their pay and/or from the golden parachutes that they receive if voted out of office in the 2010 GE.
Methinks MP’s options for avoiding responsibility for their scandalously over-troughed expenses are being slowly closed off.
Problem is Nell “could” isn’t the same a “will”.
Who do these 5 buffoons think they are kidding? Themselves?
Isn’t it wonderful, MP’s who have been so assiduious in imposing retrospecitve “windfall taxes” being hoist by thier own petard.
I think that they should pass a retrospective law banning all retrospective laws.
Not as silly as it sounds; convention pre-McDoom was that the Treasury in particular did not create retrospective rules but that was broken by McDoom immediately once in power. He has mined that seam many times since, trawling for more taxes; much to the delight of no one much but accountants and lawyers.
The Beeb are reporting Khazai definitely rigged the vote (no suprise) but importantly he can’t have fairly got the 55% to avoid the run off.

Even me, one the silent majority on this, has to ask what are our lads doing there helping support a potential government worse than ours and stuffing their pockets under the protection of our troops?
Whose idea was it to allow this joker as a candidate and is the other encumbent any better?
At least the Afghan leader had the guts to HOLD an election.
To be totally honest and not wanting to upset further any military families, it’s not his guts that worry me.
The cartoon isn’t missing, he’s in New York with a broken laptop.
Hain gets his answer from the BBC.

Why are twats like Hainus so bothered about curtailing the free speech of a similar twat like Griffin for?
Seems to me the irony of the fascism that Hain et al all attribute to Griffin is just lost on them as theyre acting like the very fascists they claim to hate using their jackboot stasi tactics to keep people compliant.
Fuck orf Hain, we want to see Griffin make a nob of himself, you do it often enough, let someone else have a fucking go!
Peenarse.
Bravo old bean. It’s not as if there aren’t more important issues just now.
The real irony is that the Lib/Lab/Con/MSM cabal tells you often enough that the B/N/P is evil and you not only to swallow the lie, hook, line and sinker, but parrot it on the real villains’ behalf.
Use your eyes.
Some donkeys can be led to any old hemlock and they’ll guzzle it down like mother’s milk.
Nothing to lose, Labour MPs who want to fight their corner, it is all quite laughable really. There should be a law in place if more than two by-elections are called at one time for no good reason then a general election should be called, that would be more fair surely.
Brown says 50days to save the planet, how many days does Britain have left to save itself from Brown!
Silly suggestion. The troughers need to stay until the election to get their full pension benefits, and *that* is worth a helluvalot. There is no incentive for them to resign before the election. Any readers here had a look at the statement of their projected pension recently? If you have a private pension (like Thatcher told us we should have) you’ll find it not much more than tee-totaller’s beer money. But MPs get public sector pensions which are gild-edged.
Nah, they’ll be foolish to throw that pension away.
Move on, there’s nothing else to see here.
My pension pot was £28k in 2003, this year it’s £16k and I retire in 4 years time. Great. Gordon Brown has creamed off 5% a year which would be a take of 35% since his robber budget, never mind the financial meltdown, high interest rates and built-in inflation to come.
He’d better have some very good security — there’ll be people who won’t forgive or forget.
This is called blackmail and the names of these people should be rooted out and published. They are cowards as well as greedy conspirators and traitors to the interests of their own party. In short they are despicable and I hope that they are reading this.
We are in a new ball game here. MP’s en masse have no legitimacy (aka bastards)
so whilst they could be entitled to their salaries why should they get the golden parachutes etc?
Chickens, not turkeys.
The Chicken-in-Chief will delay the General Election as long as he possibly can to enable the gutless PLP to max out their pensions and expenses before we give them the boot.
This “threat” will be watered down from by-election to “standing down at the next general election”.
Read a report that said the five mp,s planning to quit and force by elections are already standing down at next election.
Looks like Field isn,t one of them,never heard him say he was standing down next time.
Wonder if that Morley guy is one.
My mate the chief 6th form bully Ed Balls says that Maggie Atkinson is ‘head & shoulders’ above the rest !!
Names please
As far as i can see theyre all as tainted as each other.
They should be stoned in the streets by the public.
Ok, anyone got some rotten eggs i can lobb?
Name, starsign + every fucking detail of their over privileged lives.asap
‘The BBC think Stephen Fry is “a stupid person’s idea of what an intelligent person looks like.” ‘
Absolutely, susie. He’s neither funny or entertaining. He’s a smug, patronizing, complacent twat, guaranteed to send me leaping to the off-button.
By-Elections called amidst a post office strike? That might be interesting…
In fairness, he’s most likely the cleverest person to have served time at Pucklechurch Prison for stealing a credit card from a family friend and using it to defraud said family friend.
And how many people with degrees from Cambridge can say they were sent down for a criminal offence before obtaining their degree?
On their current form of fraud and mendacity, Fry would clearly be at home in the current Parliamentary Labour Party. Although perhaps that’s being unfair on Fry. He was young at the time of his offences.
Though that does not excuse his priggish smugness.
Plenty of people manage to be young and foolish without committing fraud (and fraud on someone who trusted you).
No excuses, Mr Fry, you probably always have been a two-faced, fat ponce and you still are.
It is a measure of how bereft of talent the BBC is that they have to wheel out Fry on every bloody programme.
Either that or he has shagged 90% of the BBC’s producers and management.
Possible? Probable? No wonder Hugh Laurie buggered off to LA (excuse the pun)
Agreed!
Docking their wages if they dont pay up – lovely (just like the plebs do)
HMRC looking into their financial affairs – lovely
Plod finally being prodded into action – lovely
Events are unfolding – we dont need blood in the streets
just private or class prosecutions – use their laws to flush them out
There are enough quasi-lawyers on here – don’t tell me there are not
enough laws on the statute book to deal with these scum. If they were
arrested tomorrow, then the Queen could invoke the Privy Council as caretaker government until an election is held. We are so far down the crapper financially whats the difference. It’s about time the loons in the Westminster bubble felt some of the pain the rest of us have been having for them.
[...] some of their ill gotten gains that they’re threatening to sue or even (can you believe it?) resign. Yes it really is that terrible for them, so bad that the main parties are actually working [...]
5 Labour Resignations!
Bring it on. Then set the polis on them.
