Triple Curse Whacked British Football Hopes

Could journalists not agree a moratorium on asking Gordon to pledge support for our sporting teams?   Last night, as prophesied, Everton fans knew they were doomed to lose the moment the Prime Mentalist wished them well.  Gordon added “I want to see all British teams do well when they are playing against European opposition”. Cursing the hopes of millions of loyal fans, besides Everton, neither Fulham nor Celtic won their European matches…

UPDATE : A fearful co-conspirator alerts Guido to Gordon’s flying visit to the Airbus wing factory yesterday:

Inevitably within hours the Wall Street Journal reportedBlow to Airbusas 8 aircraft were cancelled losing them $400 million.  Be honest, would you want to fly in a cursed plane?

        I love the BBC headline – “Gordon Brown says he is determined the Flintshire Airbus plant will remain the UK’s biggest factory.”

        Of course it will – no-one is going to build another factory in the UK under Broon’s tax rates.

      Gordon did wish the European project well, so we can hope that the European fascists that came up with the whole EU concept and it’s supporter will all be lynched by the people when they WAKE UP and see the value of freedom and democracy, concepts COMPLETELY alien to the EU and it’s supporting fascists.

      3. I formerly congratulate David Cameron on what is bound to be a stupendous victory for the Conservative Party.

      Re: herrliche Geschöpfe!

      By the way “Heavenly Creatures” is one of my favourite movies. It’s about two prepubescent lesbians who kill one of their mothers because she wants to split them up (roughly based on Jacqui Smith and Hazel Blears life story). It’s stars the massively under-rated actress, Kate Winslet (she’s so much more than a pair of tits and some holes), and the truly genius acting of wonderful Melanie Lynskey.

        Makes sense. Foot and Kinnock’s failure proves to Labour that Britain will never give in to socialism let almone outright Marxism so in a fit of appalling spite they decide to lie their way to power then fuck Britain over for ever by dividing it into four parts, filling it with Moozlems, screwing the economy, printing loads of monopoly money and handing all power to the EU. Short of setting off some nukes they couldn’t really have done much more, could they. Its the only explanation that makes sense of the last 12 years.

        Inside mind says:

        NidalHasan scribbled: There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers. If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory. Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i you want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the scholars main point is that “IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR INTENTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE” and Allah (SWT) knows best.

          This merger of private corporation and the state which increasingly excludes Parliamentary or any democratic oversight is a very slow, but deliberate Marxist-fascist merger.

Once there they decided to take their revenge on the British people by destroying the country for ever, importing millions of Moozlems, destroying the economy, sending the Army forever to fight forgotten wars, handing powers to an anti-democratic EU run by Maoists, printing loads of monopoly money and branding anyone that disagrees with any of their policies as Nazis, racist, xenophobes and homophobes.

    Phantom MEPs cause political ‘nightmare’

    http://www.euractiv.com/en/future-eu/phantom-meps-cause-political-nightmare/article-187098

    “The increase in the number of lawmakers in the European Parliament, prompted by the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, is causing major headaches across the EU, with massive uncertainty surrounding the timing of the 18 new MEPs taking office.

    When will the ‘phantoms’ become real MEPs?

    A second and arguably greater complication concerns the timing of these MEPs’ transition from observer to full MEP status.

    Institutionally, it is not at all clear what’s going to happen, European Parliament expert David Earnshaw told EurActiv.

    Johann Schoo likewise acknowledged that a timetable “is still not known,” adding that changes could be made either with a Croatian accession treaty – expected in 2011 – or an independent protocol which could be signed anytime after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.

    Schoo argued that some countries, notably Spain, might insist on having it signed and ratified as soon as possible, because they will gain four new MEPs.

    However, Andrew Duff believes this simply will not happen. “I think it’s going to take a very long time, probably between 18 months and two years, before this decision is formally approved by all 27 parliaments, which has to be done. It always takes this long – these parliaments work very slowly with anything to do with the EU,” he said.

    Schoo agreed, arguing that “it’s certainly possible that the final approval could take several years, because those member states who do not gain any MEPs still have to approve it, and their interest may not be so high”.

          Back to the wind up:

          Mrs H stopped work at the end of 2 months of the pregnancy. Care in Community nurse- heavy lifting.

          She is on FULL PAY. We are better of because she is not being charged to drive the company car back and forth to work.

          This is paid, not by her employers, but by the government to whom she pays her health insurance. She will get 9 months maternity leave, on FULL PAY if all goes well sometime in the next few weeks.

          Of course, you personally, Resurgemus, are paying for my little luxuries!

          I just wanted to thank you in person.

            and thank you for rubbing it in. Belgium despite being one of the richest countries in Europe still is a net budget beneficiary. However my hopes rest on the country disintegrating ( does actually have a government at the moment ? ) as the Flams get sick of subsidising the Walloonies. Then the South will become just another region of France and french military bands can play Sambre et Meuse with a straight face.

            The pay for her job is higher in Belgium but the taxes in Belgium are so excessive that she comes home from Lux with a lot more dosh.

            I was told last night that a lot of Belgians around here work in Belgium but live over the border in France so that they pay less taxes!

Anyone who knows anything about life in those places knows that bribery and corruption have been embedded in their societies for centuries.

      I particularly liked Brown’s line to the effect that he will not allow the military to deploy troops to Afghanistan unless they,presumably the military chiefs, ensure that the troops are “properly and adequately resourced”. Pardon me but isn’t the Prime Minister and Government responsible for ensuring that the military are “adequately and properly resourced” ? It sounds to me like the pre-arranged Brown “get out clause” when things go belly-up. “It wasnae anythin’ to do wi’ me – I told yon Generals that it was up t’them t’ make sure the troops wasnae put in harms way unless they had the proper equipment !

He was also due to deploy shortly to Iraq for the first time Over here that would be sufficient to get him “off” with “Community Service” due to the aggravated circumstances although in the US they are less concerned about his “Human rights” and it probably won’t save him from “Old Smokey” as Texas has the death penalty

            The American News networks are reprting that responsibility for security at this “Post” where they were apparently processing recruits is the civil police and/or military police.No one else is allowed to be armed. Very much I suspect as in UK bases. The guy was carrying his own “privately owned weapons”. Apparently some people on American blogs are saying that if yours was a recognised face and that you regularly had business on the “Post” that security procedures were cursory.Let’s face it why would you suspect a Army Major,a Psychiatrist to actually be armed ?. Credit to the female civilian police officer who was first on the scene, challenged him and on refusal to lay down his weapon and took the guy “out” sustaining gunshots herself from the “Major” in the process( which hopefully are not life threatening to her)

How would, even if we could manage it, pacifying Afghanistan stop terrorism from Pakistan, Yemen, Sudan, Bradford and Leeds?

        Fucking the economy isn’t enough. They have to destroy a Tory government to finally get their revenge.

        Brown has spoiled the public sector for the past 12 years with massive recruitment and generous pay and conditions just as they spoiled the miners and British Leyland and dockyard ‘workers’ a generation ago. None of them have the humility or wit or wisdom to concede that they were the main benificiaries of the decade of reckless economic idiocy. Quite the opposite. Now that reality has set in it is those who brought reality – the yanks, the banks that are the bogiemen.

        If the yanks and banks had just kept lending even more insane amounts of money then this miracle economy would never end!!!

        And they’ll be encouraged in their strikes and their fifth-columnist activities every step of the way by the likes of Brown, Sraw, Kinnock and the other Soviet placemen.

But I would like transparancy when in public office – if you are obliged to declare if you’re a mason, I similalry think you should be obliged to declare political, religious, quasi-political affiliation. And I’d extend this to any organisation in receipt of public money – BBC, quangos, NHS, schools etc.

            Sure, some would refuse to comply, would hide it, and some might feel persecuted. I dont’ see why, as I’d also take the human rights we are meant to have seriously – so no one else could be hounded from their public sector job, as berneppers are, for their political beliefs.

When we won, they had to switch to plan B – a century long plan to destroy England from within; with destroyed education, cruhsed morale, rewriting history on a daily basis, futile wars, intentional collapse of law and order, flooding the place with drugs, meshing political parties into one indistinguishable mush, and of course the EU.

Right now we have the stock market and Gold up 30% or whatever from the beginning of the year based on nothing other than folk with plenty of ’1′s and ’0′s sitting in computer some place and looking at the monumental amounts of cash being printed and saying ‘Fuck me – I’d better buy something before all this cash is worthless.

      Even house prices, which tripled in a decade to insane amounts before coming off 20% recently are starting to rise. As practically zero percent interest rates force nobody to sell and the people with cash realise that at the rate the stuff is being printed it’ll be worth fuck all in five years time turn their dosh into something physical.

      We are once agin in an asset bubble, this time not caused by the promise of making a fortune as prices go up but motivated by the realisation that cash is rapidly reducing in value.

          The Germans won’t know what has hit them. They’ve never had a leader like Merkel since the War. They aren’t used to utter bulshitters like her telling them one minute how awful the Stasi were and then sucking up to ex-KGB man Putin the next. They fall for every line.

            That’s all the ‘stimulus’ is. A quick cash injection to artificially bump up a single quarters GDP thus re-starting the recession clock. Fundamentally though nothing has changed. Consumers are still massively over-borrowed and they know it.

            They are, however, grateful for the jobs they have left (many of them in the public service funded by 200bn quid of borrowing so far this year) and are busily saving like mad and deferring, deferring and deferring those big ticket purchases that so flattered the economy in Brown’s borrow and squander ‘miracle’ years. Hence low car sales, house sales, Plasma TV sales, long-haul flight sales etc etc.

            Despite the pissing away of monsterous amounts of money the great British consumer is still hunkered down and spending some quality time with his cash. And even if Brown pisses enough printed and borrowed money into the system to fiddle a single quarter of rigged ‘growth’ the reality is all bad and will be for severalyears to come. And most sentient observers know that and are acting accordingly.

          • jgm2 says:

            I never can understand why the unions don’t just buy those old de-nationalised firms. Surely the Miners could have come up with the full market value of fuck-all between them and made a bid of fuck-all for the entire NCB.

            Then the workers really would own the means of production.

            Instead they seem to want the taxpayer to buy the company and then keep on paying all one million of ‘em heaps of money – and their sons and grandsons in perpetuity. On the days they could be bothered to show up for work.

            And when they weren’t striking for more money and leaving folk in the dark on operating theatres. And the elderly frozen to death in theri homes.

            As per their instructions from Moscow.

          • jgm2 says:

            Thatcher should be further beatified for her work in increasing the average lifespan of the UK population. SHe saved millions from the harsh work environment (when they could be bothered to show up)of the foundaries, the dockyards, the car factories and the coal mines.

            PLUS she saved untold years off folks lives ‘cos they can now afford to heat themselves throughout the year and aren’t being left to freeze to death in winter ‘cos the Russians have told Arthur Scargill to pick a fight and leave the country in the dark.

            Hail Maggie. Social, economic and public health saint.

            didn’t a group of welsh miners buy one of theiir pits?

            They made a good go of it ( including profits !) until the seam ran out. Quite a little bunch of capitalists they were too.

          • jgm2 says:

            Yep. I think one bunch did buy their own pit. And fair play to them. But my point remains – where was Arthur Scargill organising a Union Buy Out?

            Give him the opportunity to demonstrate how incompetent the management were by running the pits and keeping everybody employed instead of a career of shit-stirring?

            Workers owning and runningtheir own company? You’d have thought it would be a no-brainer. Offer Thatch a few million from union funds – no other fucker wanted it anyway – and away you go.

          • Engineer says:

            Resurgemus – you’re correct. Tower colliery, at Hirwaun. They have now turned themselves into a property management company to develop the colliery site and surrounding land owned by the colliery company. Proper capitalists, as you say.

            They did discover that running a business in a competitive environment isn’t easy, but hats off to them, they succeeded.

            Good luck to them in the future.

          • resurgemus says:

            yeah

            it’s the old socialist thing of I’d rather put all my energies into asking for a hand out than doing something for myself. It is of course one of the problems the country has asthere is a large number of voters who want somebody else to run their lives for them and refuse to be weaned off the state.

          • NLJD says:

            BL — The Mad Monk pumped billions into it to keep the wages flowing into a few West Midlands Tory seats. Investment in new product was secondary to a blatant political bribe.

            I wonder if that story ever made it to Hull Uni?

            BT — Where are they compared to their French and German equivalents, nowhere! Another Maggie spectacular.

            Docks — Clydeport dowry, PP for a shopping centre, the Tories did more damage to Paisley town centre than the German airforce.

            British Steel — Indian conglomerate calls the shots now, how the mighty have fallen.

            NCB — What would we give now for a 100mill tonnes pa coal industry.
            Maggie, crack shot, one bullet both feet.

          • Engineer says:

            NLJD – another with head firmly jammed in the sand.

            BL built poor cars – union militancy and better products from other manufacturers spelt it’d death-nell. Some bits lingered on, but never really managed to succeed (Jaguar and Land-Rover excepted, perhaps).

            BT is doing much better than it would if it were still staid old Post Office Telecommunications. The competition would have wiped it out.

            The docks were victims more of containerisation than anything else – much less labour needed for handling them, and much less pilferage.

            British Steel and NCB (No C’unt Bothers) just could not compete with overseas compitition in the ’70s and ’80′s. About 45% of public funds went into propping up these industries with their outdated plant, restrictive working practices and abysmal strike record. In the late 70′s, German steel could be obtained by British companies more quickly and cheaply than from British suppliers, and it was of far better quality as well. The steel plants that invested survived, and are now some of the most technologically advanced in the world (hence Tata’s interest in them) but the small, outdated ones using 1920′s equipment went. Scargill killed the mining industry, Richard Budge resurrected the profitable rump of it, but coal imports were cheaper.

          • jgm2 says:

            BL: Fuckers were always on strike. Wanted the same pay and conditions as the Ford workers who were producing twice as many cars per man. And would strike till they got ‘em. Michael Edward’s first act when he took over was to ban non BL cars from the car-park. I lived a mile away. The car-parks had tumbleweed blowing through ‘em. We were imposing import tarriffs on BMWs so that they were twice the price of shit BL cars and the fuckers still wouldn’t buy their own cars.

            BT: were doing great post-privitisation until some fucker rigged a G3 licence round to extort 20bn quid out of the UK Telcos.

            I think you will find.

            Docks: Three words – Dock Labour Scheme. Two more words. Containers. Cranes.

            British Steel: Strikes.

            British Coal: Strikes. Strikes. Nothing but strikes. If all one million had devoted half the energy to digging out coal as they did to striking then we’d have open cast the entire UK by 1984.

          • Odds Bodkins says:

            Ah British Leyland, brings back such memories… Employees walking out the door with spark plugs in their pockets and engines in the boots of their cars.

            Hundreds of thousands of unionized workers with powerful political backers. The expectation that government (and hence taxpayer) write them blank checks to prop up their pisspoor and wildly out-of-date restrictive working practices.

            The Yanks should take heed. The UK government once got in the business of trying to make a winner out of a structurally flawed company by throwing good money after bad. Once a company becomes reliant on the state tit, it beomes VERY difficult to wean it off.

          • Engineer says:

            Labour have already sold off our nuclear fuel manufacturing and clean-up capability, along with the British-owned Westinghouse reactor design business (about a week after it won a £4 billion order from China for AP1000 reactor designs.) The Japs and the Yanks bought most of it.

            Not long after, Labour finally admitted what everybody in the industry had been telling them for a decade – we need to replace our existing nuclear generating capacity if the lights are not to start going out.

            Strategic government? Don’t make me laugh.

          • 1800 Cunliffe-Arsely says:

    “In the midst of all this, Cameron’s policy documents show he will try to change Britain’s political landscape to make it harder for the Tories to be defeated. He will abolish 10 per cent of parliamentary seats, almost all in Labour areas. He will scrap the rules requiring commercial broadcasters to be politically impartial, unleashing the rabid Fox News model against the British left.

      Not really surprising is it?

      Callaghan was obviously not one of the KGBs stooges but the Unions were, so no surprise that the Unions started the Winter of Discontent to overthrow him. The Guradian will tell you in no way was it a Communist plot to take over the country-but obviously it was.

      Foot was another communist, so no surprise the country rejected him

      Kinnock was another Communist but tried to hide it – public just didn’t trust him so no surprise he was rejected. No surprise he washed up at the EU either.

      NuLabour is run by Communists that realised that Britain would never turn to Communism. They have lied to get into power and then used their positions to screw the UK. They have divided it into four parts, imported millions of Muslims that despise the rest of the population and the way they choose to live their lives, sent the Army into a war that is slated to last for generations, screwed the economy for the next 30 years, screwed the money system by simply printing vastly more of it, left their own supporters to rot whilst labelling them as disabled, seduced the people with cheap booze, easy access to drugs, porn, gambling and welfare. Then to ensure we can’t get out of the mess they have created for us they have signed all our powers over to the EU which really doesn’t give a flying fuck about us because they think we are just Americans with different accents.

      What was once America’s greatest ally in Europe is now a permanent basket case with no future. Its previously friendly population will have no choice but to distribute themselves across Australasia whilst the anti-American Muslims gradually back-fill the country and take over.

The useful idiots that they have filled the Labour Party with are just there to make up the numbers and keep quietly troughing away while Gordon and his comrades get on with the job of dismantling Britain.

        ‘Kinnock was another Communist but tried to hide it’

        No, he still is a communist and so is his bitch.

    What do you know about football?

    Brown will go before end of 2009.

    The Queen will force it to happen due to her horror at what the evil Brown has done to her country.

    The UK has had 12 years of this curse.

    “Ah! Well a-day! what evil looks
    Had I from old and young!
    Instead of the cross, the Albatross
    About my neck was hung.”

    Throw it off the ship!

    BREAKING NEWS says:

    Lord Hodgson in the Lords debate just stated when he went to Afg’ last year,there were just 6 Chinooks.

    So a 60% increase on 6 = 3.6 = under 10 Chinooks.

    These are the figures that have been hidden from us under the guise of secrecy.

    Brown must be taken from his office today and removed from public office of any kind forever.

    He must have all monies forzen and he must never be allowed contact with any media.

    He and his cabinet must be impeached immediately under emergency measures and a General Election called.

    Idea.

    Why not have Gordon Brown allocated a team of police bodyguards all recruited from the religion of peace? Not only would it keep the BBC happy, tick all the CRE multi-culti boxes etc etc, but the fucker would be dead in a week.

    Did Gordoom perchance wish the Large Hadron Collider project well when they switched it back on recently?

    A passing bird dropped a piece of bread into a “high voltage installation which was powering a cooling unit”, and it’s buggered again.

    LMFAO.

    [...] Fawkes refers to Gordon Brown as Jonah. Gordon Brown has an awful record of offering support to football teams or companies – only to have disaster [...]

Guido chuckled at the following exchange he had with a Tory insider:

Tory: “What’s Labour’s position on the Syria crisis?”

GF: They say you should be talking to Russia.”

Tory: “Labour have been saying that since 1945.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
