      Usual.
      Dave asked about the Mail strike and Gordon read out a list of his ‘achievements’ instead.

      It sounded as if Brown just brought in the wrong papers and was reading from his conference speech. Or, more likely, his advisors thought that it was that only half decent speech he has ever made and they wanted to repeat it.
      The only surprise was that Sarah Brown didn’t introduce him to the Commons.

        Gordon gets his stats from McShane who gets his stats from the daily mirror which is supplied by Maguire who is fed by McBride who is instructed by Gordon who gets his stats from MShane … funny how shit that goes around comes around :)

            Yes indeed Cameron ,fortune of £30 million,Osborne £4 million and yet they cheated taxpayers of £300,000 in Mortgage money . Did they really need to claim . We are all in it together,what a joke.

        How that trollop even dares to go anywhere near the Commons from her box room at her sister’s house is beyond me.

        I wish the squeaker would do something about this.

        The old “would the PM agree that our policies are the dogs nuts and everyone else is shite?” type question should be barred.

        Ditto the “The boy scout hut in Wales is leaking. Will the PM provide funding to fix it?” nonsense.

        This should be a session to hold the government to account on the big issues.

        I know I live in a dreamworld, but Bercow would go up 1000% in my estimations if he addressed this.

        It’s a farce.

        Any decent question is never answered, and it just turns into some spewing of government rhetoric.

        BTW, Jacboot has piled on the pounds. Amazing how much further that £400 a month goes these days. I’m no fashion guru, but that was not the most flattering dress Jacqui. You looked like a cross between Waynetta and Demis Roussos

          I’m in two minds – some of the nonsense that gets asked is blatant Brown nosing and wasting Parliamentary time. On the other hand the Squeaker shouldn’t neccessarily prevent MPs from being hoist by their own pointless petards.

          We the great unwashed ought to take more notice of these chumps at Westminster and just how much of our precious authority and money they piss away asking silly questions. We put them there.

          Brown's a Tosser says:

          PMQ’s has become a joke. Brown NEVER EVER answer a question that he has been asked. It makes you want to grab the TV and shake it around a little as if you are holding and shaking Brown. This man Brown is a total waste of space WTF do they not get rid oif him if nothing else it will help my blood pressure.

          • fedupwithbrown says:

            Better go to the pub then when we have the leaders debates. We’ll all be ready to be certified if we have to watch Brown on that.

          Whatever happened to the Berk ensuring that questions were answered.

          Come to think of it, is it my imagination that there is a distinct partiality towards government benches when asking a question? McDoom even read the prepared answer that the plant was questioning him on.

And let me tell you, my men don’t go looking for gay porn – I’m woman enough for them – obviously Jacky isn’t, although there seems to be quite a few extra kilos of her after the summer recess – maybe she’s planning to go into ‘piggy porn’ pictures after she loses her seat in the Election – seems like she’s got all the right attributes.

        The Audacity of Soap says:

        Maybe Jacqui should donate £100,000 to her local SureStart schemes?

        And now for my considered view of today’s PMQs, pulling together and embedding and ‘locking in’ all the various aspects of the proceedings and the points of view enunciated by our representatives in the mother of parliaments. So help me God:

        Brown is like well shit innit !?

      Gordon’s last reply was obiously written days before and he was going to give that to any question that Dave asked.

      He does this week after week so why doesn’t dave catch him out and ask him about the weather orhow mrs brown is.

        Alan Philip Bonggg says:

        The questions have to be submitted to the PM’s office beforehand so he doesn’t have to think on his feet. Would be funny though if Dave did ask one he hadn’t prepared for. He would be even more stuttery and shaky than usual. Err err err em…..

    My only highlight of the week – ruined! :)

    Better than last week but still rubbish. It’s the predictability of broon’s tractor stats and the herd of elephants in the room: EU referendum, state of the UK’s finances and expenses.

      genghiz the kahn says:

      That useless clown Berclow didn’t even remind McBroon that it is questions to the Prime Minister.

      Call Me Dave asked a final question which brought forth a series of rants, raves and tractor stats.

      The sad thing was that there wasn’t another question to tip Brown over the edge.

      Lowlights included the appearance of Lindsay Roy asking a planted question about flu jabs, and the first tentative steps in the rehabilitation of Comrade Jackie Schmidt of Expenses. She didn’t look too radient in a purple dress. Gone are the tailord suits, maybe because she has piled on the lbs.

    PMQ’s Real Time… Moved from incorrect placement

    Everyone on the front benches ready for the off, leaning forward and wearing poppies.

    Crispin Blunt… Territorials in his area still can’t train till next April! What effect will this have on recruitment? Gordy says anyone going to Afghanistan WILL get training.

    Scottish voice congratulating those medical staff already vaccinating people against swine flu in Fife (!) Opportunity for the Gorgon to say how ‘we are ahead of the world in making sure vaccine and antivirals are available to all who need them’.

    Dave… The planned postal strikes are bad for everyone including Royal Mail. Gordy says the same, but urges negotiations… going to ACAS. Won’t join with Dave in a combined letter asking them to give up the strike. Dave quotes Peter Mandelson on the strike… Privatise! Gordy says: ‘There is no commercial buyer!’ PM says: ‘This strike is all about modernisation and the implementation of it… Lots of noise from house… from both sides.

    Dave says it is all nonsense. The reason that the PM can’t sell the Royal Mail is that he can’t convince his own backbenchers. THAT’S why he can’t sell the Royal Mail. Angry voice and angry stance. Ridiculing: ‘Why not? He’s even selling the Dartford Crossing!’

    Prime Minister gesticulating… saying: ‘We want negotiation and arbitration… Already 40,000 jobs have gone. We mustn’t bring this strike into the political arena’… Horse laughs all round. Labour jeers and laughs directed at Cameron. Cameron, also fiercely, quotes Pat McFaddyn… about the PM being weak on the strike… ‘The unions have scented blood’.

    Cameron says the PM needs to be courageous and show leadership… ‘The PM just sits in his bunker and can’t even decide what kind of biscuits he likes.’

    PM goes into tractor stats mode: ‘The opposition have been wrong on’… lists about 500 irrelevant items…’

    Lindsay Cooper… On the failure to develop the Ormskirk bypass, and on the lack of regeneration in Skelmersdale. PM says he has visited W Lancashire… PM wanting to help: ‘We must maintain growth in the economy in order to afford it.’

    Nick Clegg says he asked PM to break up the big banks last August. Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England asked for this yesterday… Separation of retail and investment functions is essential. PM replies that retail and investment banks being joined is not the point. ‘True regulation’ is the problem. Clegg says banks are currently a cartel; taxpayers are bailing them out with blank cheques… Clegg asks for a windfall profit tax.

    Clegg is wrong says PM! (Surpise all round) PM shouts: ‘We shall make money out of all this! We are already restructuring the banking system.’

    Paul Flynn: ‘Why should our brave soldiers put their lives at risk in order to
    re-elect the corrupt Karzai?’ Lots of murmuring from the MPs. PM says that we will continue to help the ‘infant Afghan democracy.’ We shall support the new election so that, eventually, the troups will be able to come home.

    Additional help for the hospice movement asked for by back bencher. PM says he is ‘trying to give more money’, and ‘trying to see what we can do in the future.’

    Lynne Jones… Why can’t govt depts contact to reduce greenhouse reduce gas emissions by 10% by 2010… PM, given this smarvellous opportunity… switches from the particular to the general, as usual, talking at length about the future Copenhagen conference on global warming.

    Mr Brady… Altringham in Cheshire… ‘Why should my constituents’ taxes be raised so that the PMs constituents can have their taxes lowered?’… PM stalls and blathers over his answer…

    Jackie Smith (What no catcalls?… Well, hardly any…) Comments on the work of Surestart centres… Plans of the party opposite may curtail Surestart… PM then waxes lyrical on 3,000 Surestart centres, soon to be 3 and half thousand… throughout the country, some in every constituency. PM says ‘We shall keep them the Tories will cut them’… (Actually I’m interested in this topic and know that the PM he is not quite right. I have heard Cameron say the Tories will ‘build on them’.) Hmmm.

    Question on pensions from back bencher… ‘It may still be six years before the earnings link will be restored’… PM, bad temperedly: ‘We have done MORE than this… winter fuel payment etc etc etc’

    back bencher: on pleural plaques victims… (This I believe is the serious precursor of fatal mesothelioma, a lung affliction, which does not as yet qualify for industrial injury payments… until it advances to the terminal cancerous condition itself.) PM will meet the MP in person to discuss.

    Back bencher… In 2005 Blair surrendered the EU tax concession/settlement… PM jumps in at once, cutting him off, chucking out the statistics left right and centre: 3 million jobs depend on trade with the EU, 3/4 million companies trade with EU… 60% of all our trade is with the EU etc etc etc

    Jim Dobbyn… Diabetes UK report… Dealing with pre diabetes conditions and thereby preventing a lot of type 2 diabetes… PM says: ‘We are offering check ups… refs obesity, exercise, ‘change for life’ programmes and healthy diet…

    Peter Robinson… Funding for justice in N. Ireleand… ‘What will happen if there are ‘emergencies’ in N Ireland?’… They don’t want to raid money for health and education for this purpose. PM says that we are in the final stage of devolution… We have made provision for a reserve for exceptional security needs. We have given extra money this yea,r and shall do so if necessary in the future.

    Ronnie Campbell… ‘The banks have made the economic mess. Why do the poor and the pensioners have to pay for it?’… PM cross again… ‘That is why we took action. No savers have lost money… We are making reforms. We must do them globally or business will move from one country to another’…

    Mr Grey… Copenhagen talks… ‘What will you put forward to show we can make compromises to alleviate climate change?… What about the third runway at Heath Row?’… Rah rah rah from the troops… Blather from the PM.

    Mr Banks. People approaching retirement, especially women aproaching retirement, need to know what to expect when… Not very illuminating answer…

    DPP and assisted suicide. The public prosecutor should not decide such things… Put the debate before the house… PM agrees that the house makes the law and Keir Starmer is only writing a few guidelines on how it might be interpreted.

    Anderson… N Ireland .. ‘What shall we do next to implement justice devolution?’… PM says that next comes consultation with the community. Cross community voting on the devolution of policing and justice…

    Gary Streeter. Teachers pay is set nationally. Currently children in Devon schools receive less money than city children… Why is this?… Why should children in poor rural areas be discriminated against? PM does not reply merely saying: saying: ‘The Tories are going to cut… cut… cut…’

    Katie Clark… About employment rights for temporary and part time workers. PM very short reply which I did not catch.

    Back bencher from Cumbria. Cancer units should not be more than 40mins away from any patient. Kendal has no such unit. All his constituents are more than 40 mins away. PM speaks generally yet again… on what he has done, and will do for cancer patients

    It was quite a lively house. Clegg came over very well on the banks and scored a few definite hits. There were several ‘planted’ questions from Labour back benchers allowing the PM to warble on and waste time speaking very generally about his current and future policies.

    Cameron seemed rather cantankerous, but kept pegging away at the postal strike issue, scoring several hits: showing the PM up as a coward for abandoning plans to privatise the Royal Mail… (PM ‘But there were no buyers!’) He made the PM look incompetent and vascillating again… suggesting that he often doesn’t give a straight answer. (True) He looks weak and shifty. ‘He can’t even make his mind up about which biscuit he likes!’ says Diamond Dave.

      Master Baiter says:

      The prime minister replied saying the Coservatives were and are wrong on the steps needed to deal with the crisis.
      The Prime Minister did not read out any statistics in that regard. The items he referred to were wholly relevant and included the following facts about the wrong position of the Conservatives:
      Northern Rock nationalisation
      Bank rescues
      Stimulus spending
      House repossessions
      and many others
      rounding with
      The Conservatives are wrong on Recession and wrong on Recovery.

      The fact is the Conservatives are painting themselves in to a corner.

        Mr Ned says:

        Northern rock SHOULD have been allowed to collapse, As should the other banks. This would have lead to a few bank-holidays and the global financial system finally having to face up to its deep structural weaknesses.

        From that collapse, the few stronger banks would have bought the weaker banks and made a killing and the new system would have been better than the former.

        However, why should the banks fix the in-built flaws in the financial system when they have ownership of weak, incompetent and wholly bought and paid for politicians who will steal hundreds of billions from the tax-payer to bail them out?

        Brown is in the pockets of the bankers and could not give a flying fuck about ordinary tax-payers. That is why we are having to bail them out and subsidise their insane bonuses.

        It still amazes me to see socialists defending a LABOUR party that steals from the workers to bail out the bankers.

        I am sure that these braindead left-wing reactionaries would be in favour of legalising child-sex too if Brown were to ever admit to his cravings.

        Anyone else notice that MB’s comments are these days so familiar, facile and shallow that, coupled with his rather lonely adulation for the McDoom, one would be forgiven for coming to the conclusion that MB is in fact McDoom himself rested and medicated for the afternoon.

        Can anyone shed light on whether Masturbator and McDoom have ever been seen in the same room at the same time? Just a thought.

        Couldn’t agree more. I was always told poppies should only be worn from beginning of November, but the best bet is to wait and see when servicemen in uniform or one of the royals starts wearing one; the services and the royal family being about the only two bodies with any sense of decorum left nowadays.

      Maybe they are wearing more Poppies due to the fact they are in the main the cause of all the widow’s and parents without son’s/daughters that they had before this mess started.
      Guilty concience maybe? No, more like they are trying to counter any blame pointed at them. Maybe like a kind of armour that a lot of the troops haven’t been given cos the government is too busy throwing money at the banks.

        Last week that treasonous bastard Brown read out 37 names of servicemen who’d been killed while those troughing motherfuckers were skiving over the summer – I wonder if somone more skilled than I in the art of video manipulation could produce a youtube video of Brown doing that, with an additional poppy sprouting on his lapels with every name?

        I’d like to see that. I think it might help me to hate him even more.

        Yep – Cameron used the wrong target – why oh why don’t Cameron and Clegg liaise before PMQ and then skewer the thief Brown at PMQ – they will reduce him to a quivering jabbering wreck by 12.15pm each Wednesday.

        This is not rocket science – it’s bloody easy to do – I suppose they just want to keep him there until the bitter end.

        Problem for unemployed people like myself and 3.5 M others is that with Brown as PM,the British economy goes nowhere in terms of confidence.Confidence = jobs.

      Without saying a word he reminds them at every PMQ:

      “And you selected this mong to be your PM and Party Leader?….”

      Look at the body language of the Labour benches – totally dejected.

      I do however agree that picking up the mace and beating some sense into Brown would not only make for some quality reality TV, but it might actually work. It would however leave me feeling hollow – because I would not the one holding the f**king mace.

    The Komodo dragon’s bite has found its spot, and, even as we watch the poison is circulating in the veins of the great, bumbling and doomed creature. Like a dying bull its demise will be slow, painful and hideous to watch. It will wander on aimlessly, perhaps for months in torment whilst its hunters, in deference to the huge, wasteful vastness of beast observe that bloated, farting mass at close quarters. Skulking at the boundaries, approaching now and then for the occasional skirmish – the hunters will stalk relentlessly till that day when the sickly animal finally succumbs to the slow poison of reality checks and negative polls.

    Seth the pig farmer says:

    7 p tax hike is more likely when you read that:

    “Tax inspectors to clamp down on people ‘before they break law’

    New guidance from HM Revenue and Customs now defines tax avoiders as those seeking to pay less tax than “if Parliament turned its mind to the specific issue in question”.

    [..]

    In the key passage defining tax avoidance – and therefore which practices may be pursued – it now states: “Avoidance is not defined in the Taxation Acts…One definition is ‘a situation where less tax is paid than Parliament intended, or more tax would have been paid, if Parliament turned its mind to the specific issue in question’. At a practical level the problem is then essentially one of deciding what Parliament would have intended and identifying who should be asked to decide this.”

    “Inspectors need to have in simple terms a working concept of ‘avoidance’ in order to properly identify cases which can be worked…The starting point should be that one would normally expect taxpayers to pay tax on their income or profits…It is reasonable to assume that where a commercial transaction is carried out in a particularly convoluted way, then avoidance is afoot.”

    I think that we can say that this will not be applied to MP’s as we can be pretty sure what Parliament would say about the taxing of MP’s….

    IT'S ALL THEIR IN BLACK AND WHITE says:

    Nelsons Column is currently an 18ft pillar with a statue of Admiral Horatio Nelson situated at the top, resting above bronze acanthus leaves.

    Under the Shari’ah, the construction and elevation of statues or idols is prohibited, and consequently, the statue of Admiral Horatio Nelson would be removed and demolished without hesitation (click on picture to enlarge).

    Indeed, there is none truly worthy of worship except Allah (SWT) and thus the veneration of any man or woman is unacceptable, let alone a man such as Horatio Nelson who was a notorious fornicator, as his illicit relationships with married women such as Emma, Lady Hamilton demonstrate.

    Furthermore, due to the fact that the actual column is based on the architecture of the Temple of Mars Ultor, in Rome, the engravings on the column will have to be altered in favour of Islamic indentations, possibly floral designs.

    Futhermore, all centographs of the infidel will be removed as the idolatry of man and his efforts against the laws of allah are unacceptable.
