Below is Guido’s easy to understand summary of the third quarter GDP growth figures globally:
As well as being the lamest economy in the G7, we share recessionary woes with economic powerhouses like Romania. Gordon Brown’s epitaph will be that he didn’t abolish boom and bust, he didn’t save the world and he “led the way” only in his imagination. The British economy has paid the price for his delusions.

Great at rigging by elections
useless at rigging the economy
We know where his priorities lie
The fundamentals of our economy are strong,
Thanks to me, the UK is best placed to weather the recession. You know how the old saying goes, first in last our, well that’s us.
out not our.
Don’t know why I said that. There’s no spelling mistake there at all.
Your writing’s not improved I see, Mr Brown.
“out not our” what?
Gays?
eat recession Pedro!
Spain can’t hack either
” No more boom or bust. Financial opportunities for all (bankers).Building equality, a fair Britain, with even more opportunities.Building freedom and British jobs (for all)”……………zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Financial incontinence = Gordoom McDebt.
Islamic Finance is the answer. We bailed out Barclays after all
Yeah, great. Sukuk bonds which pretend not to pay interest so they don’t offend the great prophet (pbuh, whatever that means – when DID that start?). The only reason that the Middle East became investors was because, through some bizarre act of fuckwittedness, the Creator decided to give huge amounts of oil to a bunch of nomads.
Britain best placed to head for the bottom of the recession league.
Master Baiter is so funny, and accurate. A true entertainer and so warm and cuddly.
I would live to skull fuck him/her
One of the reasons we are not out of recession yet is because of our heavy reliance on the banking sector.London is the centre of the banking world and the collapse of this industry means we need more time to recover.I am sure everyone would like to see Britain come out of recession.However our exporters love this situation as they can sell more to Europe.There is a light at the end of the tunnel but taking our time to come out of it is no bad thing.
twat
How come anyone who utters sensible comments on this pathetic blog site is called a variety of names such as twat,troll etc?
Because it is infested by rightwing dimwitted dinosaurs.
Hahaha
twat
And fuckwits like Master Baiter and me.
Hahahahaha
Because what you view as sensible, we view as spin put out by the creaking, discredited labour PR machine exemplified by Campbell, MacBride and Draper over the years. The banking world has not collapsed, although your team do not like to be reminded that the only banks that needed a bail out were Northern Rock and the two Scottish banks rather than anyone in the City.
Also, there is no sign yet that our exporters are able to take advantage of the fall in the value of the pound, partly because our education system under both parties has replaced independent thought with spoon-fed propaganda that renders most young people incapable of contributing to the private sector.
So in fact although it appears moderate and sensibel to you, it is entirely based on false premisses, and so words like “twat” and “troll” are shorthand for the above.
See?
“How come anyone who utters sensible comments on this pathetic blog site is called a variety of names such as twat,troll etc?”
You’re none of those things, you’re just a knob.
If you think the statement “There is a light at the end of the tunnel but taking our time to come out of it is no bad thing” is sensible, then it’s no wonder that you Zanuliebores have made such a mess of the economy.
I see from these posts that the Labour trolls are out in force today!
shut up twat
Do we actually export anything?

What a pathetic shower after 74 years in power !
SNP worse than the other shower – and more dangerous for Scotland.
If they cannot take a seat from Labour after 74 years of progressive
decadence. They need a dose of Maggie discipline.
Gold (at a loss), skilled professionals, footballers, wealthy pensioners, political bullshit, little cuddly toys of Nessie, erm… thats about it.
I imagine the little cuddly toys were imported first and were probably made by 3rd world prisoners and children working in conditions which would have shamed a 19th century cotton baron.
No – we outsource that to India didn’t we ??
“Bullshit” every time Brown opens his mouth.

N.B. The Icelandic “terrorists” are committed to paying off their debts. Alas, the same cannot be said of HMG, which merely prints Monopoly money to get round its little difficulties.
Don’t we export “democracy”?
Sure as hell the UK has no democracy, probably given it to Afghanistan.
Yeah we sacrificed hundreds of our service personnel to give them democracy, and those corrupt, drug-dealing, rape enabling primitive tribes people broke the fucker!
Fuck them, bring our troops home.
There is not and never will be an islamic democracy they need a dictator to exist !
They’ve been doing it for 150 years – what’s new ? LABOUR ISN’T
WORKING – Haven’t done so since their inception: They have CAJOLED,
THREATENED, BULLIED, CHEATED as most uninformed critics do to obtain
and hold on to power. the instantaneous demands of the internet find
Labour wanting – they need time to think and scheme – BUT ABOVE
ALL they require their bullies and thugs en masse around them to
present any case .
Yes we do, any one that can get out and live somewhere else.

Scotland exports Fuqwits from Central Scotland to Westminster
You are so right. GNE is a disaster. For God sake we could be heading to the nightmare scenario of a NuLab fourth term built on 50 Scottish Labour seats.
We export a few immigrants, but import thousands more !`
Labour gave our penultimate great industry, Information Technology, to the Indians.
Labour are now working on wrecking our financial industry, our last industry, and once they have finished that off, their socialist utopia will have been achieved and we can all go to work in the fields for 50p a week and worship at the alter of communism.
Unfortunately our manufacturing has been steadily eroded over the last 12 years.
Be proud of New Labour smashing the UK’s manufacturing base. They can’t blame the Tories for this.
No more television set manufacturers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ip0DSoAiPw
No more piano manufacturers
It’s all Thatchers fault!
To be fair our manufacturing, was first kicked into touch under Maggie Thatcher. She closed down the pits, the cotton/textile mills, the steel mills (or at least started to close them all down). Although, Labour didn’t exactly rebuild them, or reopen them when they came into power. Instead all we got left with in terms of industry was a corrupt banking system and a shit load of call centres.
That’s why the other G7 nations are/have come out of this shit faster, they have a wide range of primary, secondary and tertiary industries. They haven’t just put all their eggs in one basket. All Britain is basically is a service sector ecconomy, and as such that is why we are in such a bad state. We are a third world ecconomy in all but name thanks to nearly 30 years of both Tory and Labour governments. The Conservatives started it back in the 80s and 90s and Labour have continued to rip the heart out of this country.
Listen please,the tories did not close the mines the market did.
My family were miners and finally left mining as they saw the writing on the wall in the mid-70`s when the over mighty unions pushed through level weighting(where everybody got miners wages including timekeeper,clerks and the birds on the weighbridge) ,they saw this as the beginning of the end,corruption was endemic with all fiddles ok`d under nepotistic socialist cadre`s who held local power.
My dad and uncles knew that the level of subsidies was unsustainable certainly with level weighting adding 20% to the wage bill for nothing other than a show of strength of the unions hand.
Not all miners were commie die-hard union bruvvers,some just thought it a bad job well paid.
The coal is still there,come up with a business plan,get financial backing and go get it!
Of course it had nothing to do with Wilson letting the unions run the country into the ground.Plus in true McBroon style he made a bus conductor the MINISTER OF TECHNOLOGY.Also giving a title to a bloke that gave him a plastic mack.SCARY.
Have you taken into account the trade unions contribution (!) to the
manufacturing industry? Sadly we are incapable of competing with
the efficiency of manufacturers in other countries.
I really enjoy the pain – hope Gordon does too – fucking fascist twat
There is a light at the end of the tunnel but taking our time to come out of it is no bad thing.
Tell that to those who have lost their jobs since the collapse of Lehmans, or who are on short-time working/reduced hours or have had to accept a cut in their pay rates in order to stay in a job.
Of course, “taking our time to come out of it”, all the while the national debt increases by leaps and bounds every second, means that we will need even longer to recover, with much higher direct and indirect taxes, drastically reduced public spending,
Twit.
Our exporters, that will be all the people making tractors, trucks, buses, TV’s, fridges, microwaves, most cars, computers, ships, wind turbines, lathes, pillar drills, milling machines, press brakes, compressors, pumps, valves, railway locomotives, rolling stock, pavers, mini diggers, drop forges, washing machines, fertiliser and nuclear power stations, won’t it?
What exporters? They have all gone BUST like the fucking country you twat
Please consult a dictionary for the definition of word “ironic”, or are you Alanis Morrisette (rhetorical), and have no clue what irony is. In either case, you are a twat.
How come the BBC never tell us this? All Il ever hear from them is how well placed we are and Germany had a far greater decline.
It’s Friday 13th, it’s JONAH DAY!!!!
Has Gordon wished the BBC well recently?
Yesterday it was David Dimbleby, today it is Bruce Forsyth. Who is next?
Oh dear, two more on borrowed time.
Financial misconduct=Labour
Financial misappropriation-Tories it#s a hard WINTER TO ON the telly.
Nobody expected the Inquisition!!
The Inquisition
.. that’s not entirely accurate, Inquisition.
it’s half right
Margaret Beckett you are Ken Dodd and I claim my €5
Wavy Davy here. Don’t knock Brown because I honestly haven’t a clue myself. My only real experience of economics in government was holding Norman Lamont’s briefcase on BLACK WEDNESDAY and the whole thing exploded . Help………..
Excellent. Let’s re-examine 1992 shall we? After all nothing worth talking about in 2009. Advice note – This is not the history channel
You mean WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY when we escaped from the ERM straitjacket? Funnily enough the Liebores and Limp-Dims wanted us in the ERM at the beginning (1989) – and they STILL want us in the ERM 20 years later.
How we would all love the cost of labour’s economic ineptitude to only be the relatively tiny $10 billion that was lost on Black Wednesday.
What has labour cost the UK economy since this economic clusterfuck started? half a trillion or more? It looks likely to eventually have cost us all 1.4 TRILLION pounds.
And the fuckers have the nerve and the brain-dead fuckwittery to bring up Black Wednesday!!!
£10 billion was a small price to pay as an investment to get out of the Labour backed ERM! The UK Economy generated far far more than 10 Billion pounds in return for coming out of the ERM.
Labour are inept bastards!
It was worth the 10 billion to learn that the UK should NOT join in with the EU’s single currency, and the 15% interest rate was as a result of the enormous pressure the Uk Government was put under to join the ERM. With full encouragement and support of labour and the Liberals I might add.
It was our withdrawing from the ERM that allowed the rates to drop, our manufacturing to improve, our exports to rise to record levels and the economy to recover to the point where the tories gave labour low and reducing interest rates, low inflation and genuine, sustainable growth based on productivity and the strongest economy ANY incoming labour government have inherited EVER.
Labour IMMEDIATELY took the shackles off the banks and let loose a tsunami of unsustainable debt, and started to shackle enterprise with overbearing red-tape and stupid H&S rules. The growth in the economy from 2002 onwards was solely based on credit. This was purely so Brown could overtax and waste the proceeds on strapping a massively dis-stabilising publicly funded client state around the neck of private enterprise, and so he could falsely claim that his prudence (fucking joke) was responsible for a record succession of quarters of economic growth.
It was ALL BULLSHIT!
Yes, it was worth the mere 10 billion to get out of the ERM, for we made that back many times over, but it is NOT worth 1.4 trillion to learn that Gordon Brown is an evil fuckwit who started to wreck a very strong economy as soon as he got his incompetent hands on it!
I could have told you that for free.
our problem is simple the tories dug the shit so deep we can’t get to the top, first in deepest down
Your problem is you are simple: you have missed the fact that it is the Zanuliebores who have been in power the last 12 years.
Not only in power Budgie, but inherited a growing economy from the tories to boot.
This is Zanu’s problem, pure and simple.
What was the rate of inflation during the Tory years?I seem to remember interest rates of 15% on my mortgage and a house price collapse in the early 90’s.Furthermore 3 million plus out of work and schools with leaking roofs and long hospital waiting lists. I don’t want them ever to get back in power.Rather Gordon with all his flaws than any Tory.
Not so Dim memory? A little dim in other areas I take it?
New Labour has raised the number of people employed in the public sector by several MILLION, even increasing that number by several hundred thousand during the current crisis. They also increased their wages to way beyond the private sector so our real money earners can’t compete.
Take away your millions of irrelevant overpayed state employees and how many unemployed do you get?
You won’t have long to find out Not so Dim, The IMF beckons.
and all of that was because of Labour beciuse it took far more than 2 to 3 years to undo the damage last time but again the Tories will be blamed again this time irrespective of the fact Labour screwed it up.
I was there and lost my job 3 times in the Tory early years as a resiuult of the previous Labour admin . I have hated Labour ever since
It is all Thatchers fault!
New Labour are exempt from any criticism. They have lead us to a golden age of unequalled prosperity, a new dawn of enhanced freedom, a robust thriving economy. Better placed than any other economy in the World to lead the rest out of recession.
The bins are emptied more frequently, cars have never been cheaper, food has never been more plentiful, and the MoD should get at least 5x more pay each.
The MoD are holding down the most dangerous jobs in the World. Do you realise how many have been maimed and/or even killed?
They don’t even get a letter from our beloved leader.
You have never had it so good, and we are going to hold the next election totally electronically during the finals of Strictly, backed up by a safety ballot on claimant forms.
A photo of Gordon taken yesterday and posted on the previous thread.
http://www.daylife.com/photo/02AidR9fWX74W?q=Gordon+Brown
Gordon is seriously ill.
What does that graffiti say? Looks like someone scrawled ‘Dumbass loves KaRZAI’. In any case, it is highly suspicious that our leader hangs about in those kind of bogs…
I am not sure about this McGroom.
Economists announcing the continuing British recession expressed numerous caveats at the time, such as these statistics could be subsequently reviewed. In other words, they are probably not true.
From the political point of view, the economy bouncing out of recession unexpectedly in say March, would fit the electoral timetable nicely. I guess we are actually out of it already in reality. Politics is all in Brown’s world.
The UK State is stiffling enterprise and encouraging insufficent innovation, and Brown is largely to blame.
ho hee ho hee ho.

No. They are stuffed dummies. Well, maybe not stuffed.
Tried it as a “pc background”…..
NOT recommended, (for more than 30secs)…
That is the wallpaper on the desktops of all the BBC “journalists” To remind them that praising the dear leaders is what they think of as being impartial.
After all, the rest of the country hates labour with a passion, so they have to love them to provide balance, hence “impartiality”
They were on Radio 4 this afternoon, blatantly claiming that because the Sun has a “personal vendetta” against Gordon Brown, that they have to defend him for balance!!!!
Well if it isnt the flowerpot men.

Better still, rotate it through 180 degrees in Photoshit and imagine them hanging from lampposts.
is that the blunkett twins?
This is not true.You only have to see the wonderful Government positions in the GUARDIAN.
Brown the economist….isnt it true that accountants have poor personal finances?
Brown “Economist” ??
The only thing that fuckwit knows about economy is regarding the truth.
Brown isn’t an economist.
He got his doctorate on the history of the Scottish Labour Party (broad sweep of interests).
He’s also admitted to being not too good with numbers – you can say that again!
Christ!!! and he was the fucking chacellor for ten years!!!
You really could’nt write this stuff!!!
Please insert an “n”
You can insert anything you like with me.
Obviously not Minge.
I think the story of ZNL would make ideal material for a Python Reunion film, Mr. Cleese, you could afford your divorce
Its a shame but where is spitting image when you need them they could do hours on this lot? No doubt a new series will retuen next autumn after 12 years off the screens.
The production team admitted that they stopped because they were all labour voters and could not bring themselves to attack Blair.
The BBC also said in 1997 that because they had received complaints about how combative they were with cabinet ministers in the years leading up to the 1997 election, that after the election (no matter who won) that they would be less combative AFTER the election and try to hold whoever was in opposition to account more than they had prior to 1997.
No doubt after the next election they will return to combative interviewing again.
Especially if there is a voting revolution and UKIP gain the balance of power.
It’s very likely the fudged end of recession will appear in the UK very soon.
Of course, it has no basis other than govt borrowing is up (piling on the debt) and pulling forward demand has been used to create the impression of a recovery.
Expect the crowing to begin.
t
So when other economies come out a recession is because Brown’s crap but when we come out its cos its a fudged end? How do you know that any of the other economies haven’t come out because of gov. borrowing (like the US?)
Your post, anonymous, was utter balls & crap.
Regards
When we come out of it Brown is still crap
Why thank you.
I’m very suspicious of any GDP growth anywhere which is on the back of borrowing and pulling forward demand.
The problems we have are structural. Far too much debt (living beyond our means), a bloated public sector and an over-reliance on the financial sector.
The country has been hollowed out (over the years, started with the Tories but accelerated under Brown).
It’s all spin and prestidigitation.
t
Always always subtract the increase in debt from GDP growth to get the real figure.
If we did that then we’ve been in recession since at least 2002.
Oh.
And there is the great lie!
In fact if you look at all the mortgage equity withdrawal over the period, you’ll find that housing debt has funded the ‘boom’, which begs the questions was there any real growth in the economy?
t
“oh”
Precisely.
There was NO significant productive growth in the economy since 2001.
It took labour only 2 years to stop the UK growing, but they relied on excessive credit to fund their boom. However, the amount of money taken in tax over the last 10 years has exceeded even that level of “fake” growth. so in spite of the economy growing, people were not any better off. So, to compensate for working harder, earning more, but taking home less, they would use the increasing equity in their property as income.
The increase in tax more than off-set the increase in the economy. to create a BULGING treasury which has been wasted, propping up a massive state bureaucracy that spies and interferes in and fucks up every area of our lives.
All they know about money is how to tax it and waste it!
Even the UK’s car scrappage scheme has helped Germany’s and France’s economies more than ours and has helped them out of recession before us.
The ONLY reason that the UK could be returning to growth is because the Government has Borrowed BILLIONS which will have to be repaid, WITH INTEREST. We cannot even afford to repay the interest yet!
that is why the recovery is NOT certain, but labour does not care that THEY are responsible for the mess that will last for at least 20 years. As we stumble through multiple recessions over the next decades, they will bleat that it is not their fault.
They have single-handedly created an economic clusterfuck of historic proportions. FAR worse than the recessions of the 80’s and 90’s.
Now they are merely borrowing more and more and more to tide them over till the election, after which they do not give a fuck. They know that the EU will keep the totalitarian surveillance state and that the tories do not have the balls to take on the EU as the top of the party belongs to the same global elitist clubs that created the whole idea of the EU in the first place!
We CANNOT recover if we stay in the EU. The tories will not get us out of the EU, so this country is fucked unless we give ourselves the referendum by voting UKIP!
Was it not the Nazi`s who planned that after they defeated Britain in WW2, they would destroy the manufacturing base of the UK, so it could never again challenge German domination of Europe?
It appears that our home grown traitors have done their bidding.
Home-grown, FFS, they are economic migrants from Scotland
We’ll need to discount the Christmas effect, with temp jobs and a rush to spend. And if the next set of figures suggest economic activity is not continuing to fall, it doesn’t mean we’re back to where we were, just, with luck, we’re sliding along the bottom.
And what happens to unemployment when the public sector starts to pay the price? There’s still plenty of misery ahead.
We’ll look back on this Christmas as the golden days – the last splurge before bankruptcy. Next Christmas we’ll be eating squirrel, if we’re lucky.
Hahahahaha
And you voted for these c’unts three fucking times!!
You might be eating squirrel. I shall be eating venison. Or the neighbours.
Seals are quite tasty at this time of year, and there’s loads of the little blighters in the fjord.
I intend to eat squirrel this Christmas as well…!
Heh Squirrels ? Too posh for me.
I’m looking hungrily at my nephews hamster though …
My Polish gas fitter has given me the answer, Swan, fit for a Queen
BOILED TRAMP IS QUITE TASTEY
We will not come out of recession because:
The real elephant in the room is household debt.
Household debt has more than trebled over the past decade – rising from just under £500billion in 1997 to almost £1.5trillion in 2008. Each adult in the UK has an average debt of £30,221, more than 130% of average annual income. Households are now paying a bill of over £65billion a year just to cover the interest costs of this debt.
As Governments ultimately only get money from one place– taxing their citizens – Government debt is a claim on households. Paying attention to the total sum of household and Government debt is extremely important for this reason. When households are highly in debt with low savings themselves, the money to finance Government deficits either has to be printed or borrowed from abroad.
Governments should save whilst their electorate borrows -Broon chose to join the spending binge.
So we have enormous governement debt, unknown liabilities i.e the banks could have debt exposure of 3.7. trillion pounds and a skint electorate.
The taxpayer cannot afford to pay much higher taxes without defaulting on their own debts. The banks will then be back for bail outs to cover this and the cycle continues.
Brown and Darling should be stuck up against a wall and shot because they know this and are making it worse purely for political ends. Traitors both.
Nah the elephant in the room is corporate dabt, isn’t it?
With spelling as poor as yours, Jonty, you will have us believing that it was you who wrote those wonderful letters for McBust to sign…
Aha, the spelling riposte!
Take this:
Kanga
Roo
Hahahaha
That should read beside the ellephant in the room.Regards Gordon.
It’s the elephant in the room and the MSM simply never mention it. Personal debt.
Rock, hard place. With the inevitable result – UK plc and all who sail in her are f****d.
Did I mention PFI?
If the Bank of England had spent the 200 Billion of the quantitative easing on paying off people’s mortgages then the banks would have gained a lot of capital, people’s debts would be reduced massively and they would then be able to spend and the economy would rebound very quickly.
Methinks the scottish arsehole was fulfilling his contract when he electronically printed moolah for the banks who lent to Labours heartland stooges at his request,it was simply a way to convince voters in the 2nd and 3rd term elections they were getting wealthier without earning cos their two up one down des-res in newcastle was suddenly worth £30k more than last year.Put simply the QE has not benefitted one ordinary citizen one iota and the UK has the most decrepid housing stock in old Europe.
As has previously been suggested here on a number of ocasions, the other similarity with Romania we’d like , is for him to suffer the same fate as their previous leader – a quick medical, then up against the wall . Bang.
You could rephrase that, Mr B — just to be sure that people didn’t understand you to mean a Sonny Corleone/bridesmaid-at-the-wedding interface.
At least I hope that’s what you didn’t mean.
gun, bullet, head.
nah charles I blunt sword in front of baying mob init lol
Is it just me, or is this all quite funny? I used to get so upset when Chancellor Brown was at the dispatch Box,, boasting of how much Britain had grown. Now he’s been completely shown up.
Having said this, Labour’s “thumping” victory in the Glasgow North East byelection is a little odd.
An as ex-pat, I have to wonder when my fellow Englishmen are going to rise up and challenge the obvious unfairness of the “Scottish situation”.
Very strange result in Glasgow NE. How did it mange to buck the anti Brown trend?
7,000 postal votes – over one third of total votes. I’ll leave you to fill in the gaps
Surely it’s one of those sad places where so many people depend on benefits that they’re scared to death of replacing Labour? We’ll see this in many Labour heartlands, but Labour is doomed in anything vaguely marginal.
Three people interviewed on the beeb said their mum told them to vote Liebor.On their way to the benefits office.
I think it was an army of NuLabour placepersons that filled in the gaps…………..
Yes 7,000 is a rather disproportionate amount of postal votes given the actual meagre turnout. However they do seem to have been fairly distributed among the candidates. Labour had 6,990 the others 10 between them.
Nothing unusual I assure you, now move along, there is nothing to see here.
Yeah, ‘Rossetti’ is a well known engerlish name. What a fucking wanker you are fud-face. I bet you are secretly in love with that handsome brotherfucker nick griffen, no? A fine specimen of engerlish manhood is your nick. Bwa, ha, ha!
And as for ‘I have to wonder when my fellow Englishmen are going to rise up and challenge the obvious unfairness of the “Scottish situation’ – you couldn’t fight sleep (much like the rest of the bee’npee fuckwits) pal, so go back to the care home and ask matron to give you some saps. The only persaon you pose threat to is yourself…
Fucking delicious!
“delicious” you sound a bit french to me. Be gone with you, I was here first.
French? Moi?
Non, mon ami, mais je suis…
Fucking delicious!
Quelle surprise!
New (lack of) flavour of apple from France? It shouldn’t sell but then there are morons who buy ‘Golden Delicious’ when it’s completely tasteless.
I was here first, you Cro-Magnon filth.
HomoErectusophobe
Mr. One – Cro-Magnon were Homo Sapiens. However, they were FRENCH.
They were french? and Human? somehow I doubt that, Frenchaphobia is like islamaphobia and sharkaphobia in being entirely justified.
Keep Discriminating!
How comes Scottish Nationalists are regarded as respectable politicians but anybody wanting devolution for England are linked with the BNP and labelled as extremists?
Its because they are a welcoming party run on democratic terms.
Even my English, bangers ‘n’ mash eating, wife (bless) sees fit to vote for them.
Presumably she’s never had her heed kicked for being English then.
I’ve given her a few kickings for being a lazy old slapper.
“The only persaon you pose threat to is yourself…”
Should be:
“The only person to whom you pose a threat…”
Other than that, thanks for your input! Well done for spotting that “Rossetti” isn’t an English name. I would calmly point out that De Valera isn’t an Irish one, nor is Obama an American one.
Thomas Rosetti = Hates Motorists
so there!
Rossetti-How dare you use the surname of the Pre-Raphelites.They were an artistic group who would hate the thought of their namesake producing inane ideas such as yours.
Yeah,Fucking delicious is a well known name. What a fucking wanker i am just call me fuck-face. I am secretly in love with that handsome brotherfucker Gordon the gay boy, A fine specimen of a Jock bastard is my secret boyfriend. Bwa, ha, ha!
i wonder when my fellow Jock spongers are going to get off our knees and stop thieving from the English’ – I now realise that the labour party fuckwits are like a stick of rock, we have the word poison right through us, so please take me back to my lunatic asylum and ask my shrink to give me some smack,

Long live the EU twat-face; shove your ‘cast-iron guarantees’ up your arsehole.

March 2007 , the then chancellor Mr gordon Brown
” I can report today that the British economy is growing faster than the other G7 economies. Our economy is stronger than the eurozone, stronger than Japan, stronger even than America”
Let’s face it we’d have been better of with comical ali as first our chancellor and then our PM. At least we’d have got a laugh.
We’d have been better off with Chemical Ali.
Now you have me!
I’d rather not.
You can have me, any time.
No shit?
Jesus wept. Thanks Gordon, you fucking scotch spastic.
Things will be better under the conservatives.
Honestly.
Oh Dave, you just know that’s not true. But it is funny.
Guido won’t laugh though, as he’s feverishly working out a strategywhich will avoid having to slag-off the tories when they inevitably fuck up big-time.
Tory boys; can’t walk and talk at the same time…
Fucking delicious!
Is that you Draper? I did enjoy Kate.
Presumably she’s out of the house right now, otherwise he’d not be allowed on the computer.
She’s currently on the cover of some slutty magazine by the supermarket checkout. Headline says “Kate is desperate to shed 35 lb for her return to GMTV”, or some such bollocks. The photo is grim. She’s nearly as ugly as Derek now, and that’s saying quite a bit.
(I myself am a specimen of superb physical beauty.)
Have you got ‘erm, any photos Beezley?
If Kate wants to shed 35lb of unnecessary and unsightly flab, why does nt she just lop off one of Derek’s buttocks ??
MB, they would scorch your eyeballs.
MLC, don’t you mean his head?
Anton,
You are a cad.
I, on the other hand, am a gent & will only make reference to the fact that I may have squirted by curd within the fullsome breasted Katy’s beef curtains (on the bonnet of my spitfire, when I was 17) unless specifically requested to do so!
Things will not be better under the Conservatives,believe me. Within months you will be wishing you had Gord back.
No I think most people will still be wishing we’d never had Gord in.
Can’t be any worse.
Its a toughie that one.
There’s a sizeable chunk of voters who know they don’t want liebour back but still think this recent spell in the desert hasn’t been punishment enough for the tories. They brought the people out rioting remember, something liebour haven’t managed yet. The poll tax arrogance still tastes bad to some even today.
On the whole I’d say f*ck em both, the summers corruption exposure showed them to be as guilty as each other. I’ll probably choose one of the minority parties at random come voting day.
It’s easy to get students and the unemployed to riot. They don’t have jobs to go to.
That’s why Labour attacks workers.
Even easier when you consider the socialists and marxists ran the student union back then. Notice how under Zanu the student union isn’t what it was?
The sort of people that Labour have shafted: savers, people who have worked their socks off for middling incomes etc. are not the sort to riot. Rent-a mob specialise in anti-Tory riots, or anti-capitalist protests or “green issues”. The people who actually work to keep the country running tend not to have time to march around the streets.
Too true.
Not true look at The Countryside March and the Road Protestors.Middle Class and Upper Class to a man /woman.Green wellies and Barbours. Give them something they care about like Killing Foxesor driving their 4 by 4’s and they will be out on the streets.
Not so dim you are a fuckwit. How many of these countryside alliance people smashed up banks? The reason there were riots when the tories were last in governmmet was for the reasons spelled out above. The unions were run by marxist scum and student unions had the same commie zealots in charge. The people who riot are by and large the soap/job dodging dirtbags on welfare, students and muslims.
It began in America.
I’m no fan of Gordon Brown but he is the closest thing to a Messiah we are ever likely to see. He makes the sun shine. He abolished boom and bust.
He saved the banking system. He showed the rest of the world how to run a successful economy. He feeds the hungry. He clothes the poor.
He let in millions of unfortunates so they could learn about British values and benefit from our welfare. Look what our immigrants have done for sales of fertiliser, alarm clocks and rucksacks. Gordon Brown has enriched our economy.
He has abolished Englishness so that we are now a rich tapestry of peoples.
Gordon saved the NHS; he saved our schools. We are an economic power house.
It was the right thing to do.
Don’t worry, he’ll be along soon. He’s a bit – er – busy, at the moment.
0h nurse, the screens…quickly…nurse,,aaaahhhh…too late!!
He’s grounded for cutting pages out of my Grattan’s club book.
I’ve told Alistair Campbell not to expect him in next week.
I thought he got off on pix of the ladies in the shower-screen section of the Argos catalogue.
Never mind Courage! Gordon, your next tome should be entitled Mc Broon’s book of records (failures) go to the bottom of the class again DUNCE!.
But the BBC Today programme reporter said at 8.44 at this morning, after talking about better growth numbers from Germany and France that the UK was only tecnically in recession !!!!! Thats a new one on me. Next no doubt will be that 200 BBC managers are only TECNICALLY paid more than the PM !!!!
Maybe we can blame the recession on a technical error, computer maybe, more like a man made error called Gordon Brown
That’s a technical point.
Technically the economy is growing by minus 0.4%
Yes but we won’t have to wait long; soon the economy will be surging ahead with zero % growth
Socialisim = Progress advancing backwards
Rather like when Labour’s woefully unintelligent Baroness Scotland became the one and only individual in Britain to get done for hiring an illegal immigrant.. under the law she herself drew up.
“I was only technically in the wrong.”
I was the exception that fucked the rule.
Coooeeee !!! :))
How long does it take plod to investigate the case of a top politician leaving the scene of an accident and having been seen using a mobile?l
a very long time sir.
We have to account for what day of the week the incident, erm perceived or alleged incident happened. Then we need to know the colour phone, if there really was a phone, and if it was a left hand phone or a right hand phone….and if it actually was in use at the time or was the convicted, erm I mean possible …well, she is a minister of the crown you know and probably trying to save the world from a terrorist attack……nothing to see hear sarge
I think its a disgrace
If only the other world leaders would listen to Gordon’s plan to get the world moving again.
toilets
Think back folks to the campaign slogan for Brown becoming the Labour Party Leader un-opposed, as no one in his party had the guts to oppose him “Brown’s Britain” was his slogan, and now we are all experiencing living in “Brown’s Broken Britain” for real, now a Banana Republic.
sadly you’re right:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2005/apr/05/politics.localgovernment
who else can see brown and mandy trying to use some emergency legislation to call off the election? or ban the conservative party? they really seem to think the rules don’t apply to them, it’s going to be a very dirty fight however you cut it.
just look how the bbc have indulged mandy’s nonsense about how illegitimate the sun is to run a story criticising mcbust. no peep about the last decade and a half of the sun lampooning tories and making them a laughing stock and mandy’s part in it. not a word. the bbc are going to go all out for mccretin.
It will be a very dirty fight, with desperation to hold onto power on one hand and near despair at the state of Britain on the other. It’s a vital election, more than any other since the 70’s. If Brown and co. were to squeak through, I cannot imagine the Britain they would leave in 2015.
but whatever happens they have brought in millions of people who don’t even identify with this country, have no roots here and will struggle to integrate. they in turn have 5 kids who feel the same, rich pickings for the labour party of the future, plus makes it impossible to maintain a popular patriotic party. at this rate the english will be in a minority – what will happen then. sadly even if every last labour mp loses their seat next year they have totoally fucked the country.
There’s now a woman at the bottom of my street who wears a hijab, tight black jeans and high heel boots when she goes shopping. I kid you not. You could argue she’s making a half-hearted attempt to integrate.
Correct!
I can..
Considering she’s wearing a hijab, I’m mightily impressed by your tight black jeans diagnosis. Can you also tell what colour of thong she’s wearing?
He probably can’t remember the colour.
Anyhow, as the song goes
Thongs for the memory ….
Or, in Barbara Windsor’s case,
Thongs for the mammaries
shows what happens if you put a small-time history student who wrote a phd about the labour party in charge of multi-billion £ finance decisions effecting the entire country. someone of his backgroud wouldn’t be allowed to run the finances of a medium sized business, how did he get to run the economy and be praised as a genuis by so many. if people don’t understand economics they should just hold up their hands and admit it, it’s hardly a sin.
worst part is though that the tories never took him to task when he was splurging all the money, they usually supported it. and still today they like to blame bankers or whatever. huge inflation for a decade caused the boom and the resulting pattern of jobs/investments/business/exports etc etc – take away the inflation, as was bound to happen one day and it becomes clear all those jobs and investments were based on inflation not productivity or ideas or even just hard work.
Why can’t the tories make this argument and show that the problem is gorgon and his mental spending/printing/creating/borrowing of money and his current bout of inflation will make people feel better in a year or two (we should be prepared for this – the QE will come through and prices will go up, people will be able to borrow, many will think it a “success”) then far worse in 10 when the cost of labour (ie wages) doesn’t keep up with other costs and then finally it all falls apart again.
starts to make it clear why so many british governments are happy to destroy educational standards doesn’t it?
Sorry had to get that off my chest.
btw gordon, you’re a chump as comical mandy might say.
You won’t have to wait 10 years for worries about the cost of Labour not keeping up with other costs. Bob Crowe and the rest of the gang will be there on Day 1 issuing ultimatums on behalf of their public sector members.
We’ll have public sector strikes by the nurses by 2011. Possibly even in 2010.
It’s the 1970’s all over again.
Why the nurses? So they can get their lovely little photogenic faces front and centre for the BBC.
‘Cam’ron, Cam’ron, Cam’ron. Out. Out Out.’
Big marches and rallies in London lead by Neil Kinnock.
We’re fucked.
We’re more fucked than people realise. I see our angel nurses and their public sector paper chasers committing mass seppuku around empty braziers when they realise there’s no point in continuing the strike ‘cos the country simply has no more money to spend.
Kinnock is a bit long in the tooth for marches, and after the election he and Glynis will probably live in Spain. If there is one thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history….George Bernard Shaw was on to something I think.
I started to read your song wrong at first.
Cam-ron cam-ron,
Cam-ron cam-ron,
Cam-ron cam-ron,
Wanna be in my gang, my gang …etc.
Early 70s that. The parts of the 1970s where the government might have been tory but you couldnt tell the difference?
Rather unfair that. No one was listening to reality. The great British public hadn’t realised what a complete conman bliar was, and the bbc / ali campbell axis was still able to control the agenda in the msm.
I remember a lot of people who never believed the BIG LIE. The problem was fear. On ‘This Week’, last night, Abbott & Portillo tore into Alistair Campbell with venom. They accused him of being a liar, a blackmailer, a bully, basically the root cause of Labour’s imminent downfall. He laughed it off, like a good sociopath would. He couldn’t accept his part in terrorising those in the media who did try to tell the truth, to warn the public. Now look at the state of the country.
Did he terrify the Conservitudes too?
Is that why Cameo and Osborne apologised recently for not seeing what was coming?
Everybody was dancing to the manic beat, fact, isn’t it?
This crisis has erupted out of the most gargantuan bubble ever imagined, as a result of clear malfeasance in the financial spiv sector, it will take decades to clear up, it’s global and it started in America.
Hahaha
ToMB.
RAGYED
Who regulated this sector ? Who signed up to Basle 2 and light regulation?
Who do we pay to be accountable for the governance of nation?Ah yes that strong leader who has to cry ‘bullying’ when on the receiving end of his own methods.
If we do have only a limited time to save the world,why,pray tell is he able to spend so much time on these minor issues?
PS – your posts become ever more lightweight -try harder.
Hi Jonty ginger hows it going in the LGBT industry these days?
Did Alistair Campbell hypnotize the Conservitudes in to not seeing what was coming?
Did Cameo and Osborne keep up their jig to the music of greed becuse their drinks had been spiked?
No Cameo and Osborne were intoxicated by the market.
It’s over, so over.

Your tea’s on the table
We will never pay for the Brown Borrow & Spend. Our CHILDREN pay for it.
But still worth putting £100 on Labour winning the election. The electorate will never trust the cast iron twat that is Cameroooooooon nor his intellectually diminished sidekick, Georgy.
Blue labour MUST, repeat MUST gain the upper hand. If only to carry out6 the Messiah’s (Blair2.0) programme of reforms.
The book you are named after was a pile of socialist pooh just like your comment
Don’t worry,lads..now that Brown has ‘won’ Glasgow NE,thereby endorsing his handling of the Economy..
..it’s all looking up!
Sorry..meant to say..it’s all fooked up.
Glasgow NE must be just one giant sink estate.
sink or stink
“Glasgow NE must be just one giant sink estate.”
I can assure you it is a vile place, full of traditional core Labour voters, neds ( chavs ) immigrants, benefits claimants and drunks.
‘one giant sink estate’
Surely the individual houses each have a sink?
Hey Gordon, you WON Glasgow NE by your genius. Call the General Election now, you REALLY can win.
The cun’t is so deluded he probably would.
When your countrys situation is as bad as that of Donkey based economies you know you are in the shit.

no need to go to work or make anything……..
im off to the stores to get a double wheelbarrow!
Britain appears to be in a new G7, alongside Spain, Greece and Estonia.
Surely it must be time for Gordon to invite the other leaders of the New G7 to the Docklands for a summit?
Gordon can strike a “new grand bargain” to protect the future of the “olive trade for our children” and also agree a deal to ensure that donkeys will no longer be chucked off towers.
At least they have nice weather (not sure about Estonia).
Chucking donkey’s off towers is a traditional working class passtime. Now if they were chasing donkeys off towers on horseback with dogs then that would be different.
No light at the end of the tunnel for a long time yet. The country’s finances are stuffed, thanks to Labour’s reckless overspending.
and will contniue under the Cameroons – got to keep ‘em happy.
Or, as one businessman said yeaterday ‘we’re not sure, but we think we might just be able to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. However it could of course be a train.’
Look, how many times do I have to say this?! It all started in America and it’s all Thatcher’s fault!
Does no one ever listen?!
don’t worry i’m always listening very carefully
I can.
I can …. the latest technological doodah from Apple?
The UK has offered to give some of our sovereign land back to Cyprus for free. Couldn’t we flog it to one of the developed nations instead, and go halvers on the profit?
Not for free. A futile sweatener on a another shit reunification deal that the ” international community” will try to push through. A backdoor method for the UK sucking up to Turkey.
I can’t wait until 5 million Turks descend on Britain. Kebabs all ’round!

Janet Daley never understood anything. A moronic ‘journalist’ with the brain of a pea.
How come she isn’t working for the BBC? (too off message perhaps).
New Labour seem extremely socialist from my perspective.
Special Rights for Groups.
Groups to be picked on.
Huge Taxes on Income.

Remember chaps… all parties are socialist in oppostion, but when elected become Fascist! There endeth the lesson. Amen
Same fu*king thing stupid.
similar like Blair and Blair 2.0 ?
Here’s how fucked GDP is as a measure of recovery
If I borrow £10m I can’t afford to pay back, and spend that on cars, that contributes to GDP
If the Government bails out my lender for making such stupid loans with cash, they turn a profit which contributes to GDP
If the Government allows lenders/ banks to lie about asset values (mark-to-model), that contributes to GDP
If the Government instigates a ZIRP/ QE policy, that heralds a cash bonanza for primary dealers, that contributes to GDP
Fuck GDP, fuck the Government, fuck the banks
The measure of recovery should be job gains, not GDP growth, and not a rising stock market (like Zimbabwe had during hyperinflation). Anyone pronouncing the end of the recession on the basis of GDP growth should be shot
Reagan also made economic pie, Gordon’s “Highland Economic Pie” is so bad it needs removing from the shelves in Britain, before we all get sick!
Careful on the job gains measure: the Japanese had a huge hidden unemployment issue in the 80s, masked by no-one being fired when they shoudl by all measure have been, and then being paid good money to sit in their office in a mutually face-saving exercise. The 15 year dungstorm that followed there was in part down to this extraordinary extra burden the companies (in many cases voluntarily) assumed for themselves.
I meant to add that British Leyland was a similarly run but gummint managed effort in the seventies. This enabled the visceral anti-Thatchers to claiim she caused unemployment; whereas what she mainly did was to shake the lice out of dying and/or bloated industries.
Their shitstorm was due to their own credit boom. While that boom enabled useless jobs to be maintained (as all credit booms cause a misallocation of resources), the useless jobs weren’t a prime cause. Our credit boom caused a misallocation of resources into housing, finance and the service sector (with a different set of useless jobs). We ended up just as bad as them
And they haven’t recovered because they instituted fiscal stimuli, ZIRP, QE and propping up of zombie banks, exactly the same thing we’re trying now. That’s Einstein’s definition of insanity!
Wrong, QE (quantitative easing) is what helped the Japanese economy get going again. That’s why everyone is doing it now.
Yes, the short-term deficit spending is necessary to prevent a worse recession. The big problem is the structural deficit of around £80bn that Gordon carelessly ran up during the boom years. We have not begun to address this yet. It has reduced our ability to apply a stimulus to the economy and is a major reason why deficit spending is apparently less effective here than elsewhere. Servicing this debt will be a drag on the economy for 20 years to come.
Japan’s QE was effective because it came after a long period of fiscal responsibility by its Governments.
Sheer lunacy. QE fixed nothing. Japan is in the twilight zone
What they needed was to kill the zombie banks and purge the economy of the bad debts created by those zombies. Instead, the zombies took over, mortgages became intergenerational mortgages and the women decided not to breed
QE didn’t start in Japan until the early 2000’s more than ten years after the Japanese bubble burst. QE was part of the process of poleaxing the zombie banks and corporations.
QE didn’t cause the Japan’s ‘lost decade’.
It ended it.
Look it up sunshine.
Fuck’s sake wankstain, I already asked you to explain how you thought QE was working in the real world, and you couldn’t or wouldn’t. Now piss off and learn some facts, as your continual mindless sneering is getting very tedious.
IT DOESN’T WORK, as there is no mechanism by which it could work.
Oh and by the way, have you ever had a real job, in which you were part of creating something that was sold overseas and on which tax was paid?
I thought not. So your opinion is of no value to those of us who fund you through our hard work and ingenuity.
I agree QE has not got the traction because the crazy spend, spend, spend of Labour since 2001-2002 had left the public finances sensitively vulnerable. Had prudence really been on the ball, what has happened would still have been awful, but not as horrendous as it is now. That was the inescapable political hubris of failed Labour. Shame the nemesis will hurt uncountable numbers in Britain in the months and years ahead.
In the final analysis, it will be seen that Labour all but destroyed civil society by sheer incompetence marked by greed, intellectual bankruptcy and some quite breathtaking corruption.
Quite true, my point was not to use jobs as a measure of success: waaay too easy to keep people out of the headcount. As to what measure is objective and reasonable, well, I don’t think there is one.
MB – QE works if you’re absolutely sure that things are going to improve rapidly. If you’re not, then is steepens the slide into deep, deep trouble.
it steepens. Dod=h.
It used to be balance of payments. That was in the news all the time. Seems a reasonable measure, if you are exporting more than you are importing, or making more than you are spending, then you must be doing OK. As we don’t talk about it now, it must be completely f**ked like everything else
Pleased to see some sense on this site for a change.
GDP has no relevance. Household debt is now at such a level that the taxpayer cannot pay much more in taxation without defaulting on their own debt obligations -cue the banks asking for more bail outs.
If the taxpayer cannot pay, it’s gilts or printing money as the only solutions.
Good idea then to bring in a 50% tax band and drive away some tax revenue.
The household sector did a lot of boogaloo but the corporate and financial sectors had a ten year shindig and calidh, isn’t it?
Corporate debt is the elephant in the room, that and various forms of toxic paper lounging around banks and ther financial ‘entities’.
It’s a global crisis and it started in America, isn’t it?
Hahaha
It started in Sedgefield
It continues in Sedgefield, with the help of a brand new zanulaboid pre-programmed with all of Zanu’s charm.
Some of the most redacted claim forms you ever did see came from the new politico and He’d only been in a few months. He also takes the p*ss when it comes to the £200 worth of petty cash and all the free food he can stuff in his mouth and pockets.
To be fair though, he hasn’t yet put his paperwork through a shredder and charged that to the taxpayer like the last voluminous tw*t.
Possibly even worse, Sedgefield is still one of the highest council taxes in the UK.
On Toady, the news announcer said that France & Germany had positive growth and were out of recession but that the UK had negative growth but was TECHNICALLY in recession!
Funny I thought recession was recession but I suppose it is ok if it is technical one and one assumes it has then nothing to do with McDoom and his useless goverment!!
BBC feckin’ shills!!
Can someone say why it takes two quarters of negative growth to be in recession but only one of positive growth to be back out of it?
Put them away, I’ve told you before I’m not interested. Now put a carrot on your belly so I can get a wee stiffie.
Oh please!
The only reason all these countries are coming out of recession is because of the huge amount of easing pumped into the GLOBAL economy by Gordon Brown. (we are in a global economy for thos who have not noticed)
As the UK exports so much, It was more important that Brown sorted out our “customers” before fixing the internals of the UK economy
Brown is created a long term stability for UK plc rather than go for the politiking of the Tories which would see a return to Tory Boom & Bust
Very good.
Ha ha ha.
Your reply is too sophisticated for most of the respondents on this site but you are so right.Clever man Mr Brown.
SoCT – so clever in fact that he completely fools everyone with his exquisitely wrought impression of being hopelessly out of his depth.
Yeah – Brown’s created the “long term stability” of having to graft away paying the interest on a £2 trillion national debt. Given a couple of generations of grinding toil and semi-penuary, we might even get to pay back some of the principal, as well.
Utter bollocks.
Two words : “trade deficit”. That’s what happens when you import more than you export. In short, you’re living beyond your means.
Go and have a look and see what the UK deficit is, per month.
You have – inadvertently – hit on one thing though and that’s this : One hell of a lot of the money hosed down into the system by QE has gone offshore. Outsourcing contracts, Corporates that aren’t domiciled in the UK and the trade deficit means that money intended to “do something” in the UK hasn’t stayed here long and has done fuck all for the UK economy aside from producing a defacto devaluation and reducing the gubmint foreign debt.
What it’s actually achieved is to swap corporate debt for public debt and put a couple of generations in hock.
Do you know, the more I read the more I realise how utterly incompetent I am. I should have stuck to lecturing history to plumbers.
However My IQ is 175 so I am playing a very clever game.
Most of the QE is sloshing around the world’s stock markets making some folk very rich, indeed. The only question is the timing for liquidating the cheap assets bought over the past six months. Profit created by mini-bubble created by QE which is pumping fictitious cash into the great deflation. Turn off QE and the Markets will tumble.
Thanks Gordon and Obama.
We banks are loving it at the moment. We get fees for selling the bonds underpinning QE (hence bonuses) and stuff our liquidity ‘black holes’ with money that the taxpayer will kindly provide from his hard earned wages for years to come.
Gordon, of course, knew what he was doing as Chancellor and didn’t see it coming. What a berk.
Gordon Brown said that there would be no more “Conservative” Boom and Bust.
Actually
Hahahaha
is he defecting to the conservatives then ?
might be the only way he’ll hold his seat.
No, please no more Gordon in any form.
defe…. oh defec-ting. As you were.
MB – WHen asked by “Dave” it is true that he did say that he said that, but that wasn’t what his original boast was, which was fee of reference to Conservatives or Tories. I’m sure this clarifies the matter for you.
Do please try to keep up.
Not so fast Winston Smith…
Labour Manifesto 1997..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/election97/background/parties/manlab/4labmanecon.html
We will reject the boom and bust policies which caused the collapse of the housing market.
That went well. Not.
Brilliant…..I wonder what will be in the 2010 Labour manifesto to thrill us all.
Any old lies and shit. At least with their lies in 1997, 2001 and 2005 you can go back and say ‘Hey – you reneged on this…’ But they know they’ll never have to deliver on their 2010 manifesto so they can promise to cure cancer, global warming, free Learjets for everybody and promise to teach the world to sing with complete impunity.
And, as a UK court has already ruled, even if they do win a Labour Party manifesto isn’t worth the paper it’s written on so you have no come-back.
THe 2010 manifesto will be laughable valedictory prasing the ‘achievements’ of the Maximum Imbecile followed by outrageous lies and bullshit about what they will do in their fourth term. It will be fit only for wiping incontinent old ladies arses.
As forecast yesterday this crisis will carry on for years and years. The smug middle class will be cut down in swathes. They will regret villifying the deprived and vulnerable as they join their not so happy ranks, squealing and pleading for help and sustenance.
It’s going to be monumentally difficult for many many people.
In Japan following their mega bubble house prices have declined every year for 18 years.
It;s a new era, get used to it.
Hahahaha
No magic solutions if the Tories get in just a new bunch floundering about for the first months.Could get worse.
Master Baiter, if the “smug middle classes” are cut down in swathes, who will pay the taxes?
Fact, Cameo and Osborne would be worse than Brown and Darling, fact, isn’t it?
Mmmmmm. A slightly shorter Japan. Those with shitloads of money should be alright.
I trust you positioned yourself accordingly MB.
The situation will indeed get worse from here MB. But that’s rather been (being) baked in by the Maximum Imbecile hasn’t it.
Engineer, serious answer, they will be cut down in swathes, not they should be cut down in swathes, isn’t it? Please appreciate the difference. The old will suffer the most and the poor and many sections of the middle class who will join the poor. When the middle class join the poor they will find the going particularly hard so it will feel as though they have been hit hardest.
Isn’t it?
The ’smug’ middle classes probably have the intellect to cope. Their expenditure is mostly on luxuries, so easily cut back in recession. It’s the working class – those who Gordon royally shat on by doubling their income tax – who will suffer. The middle class can stop buying new sofas, can the working class stop buying food?
Hahahahahahahaha. Cretin.
OK, wanking crank. So define “middle class”.
Definition of middle class is anyone without independent means.
Isn’t it?
Put it another way, to those with independent means everyone without independent means is an oik.
Hahahaha
So being dependent means you’re middle class ?
Lotta middle class people in Glasgow NE and the ZaNu heartlands then….
Master Baiter – I ask again. If the middle classes are “cut down in swathes” as you either desire or predict, WHO WILL PAY THE TAXES? They won’t pay themselves, and funding for public spending must come from somewhere. So – where?
It’s a near certain prediction not a desire.
Not all the smug middle class will be cut down, just vast swathes of them. The old and poor will get pummelled too. The taxes will fall on whoever is left standing, or crawling, ok?
Master Baiter – that’s economic suicide. The economy can ONLY survive if there is private sector economic activity, leading to corporate profits and personal incomes which can be taxed. Driving people into economic inactivity, or depressing their incomes, reduces the tax-take. Reduced tax-take means less to spend on public services and servicing public debt.
Economic salvation will ONLY come from encouraging private sector enterprise and growth. That means the business owners, the self-employed and the entrepreneurs – the very people you disdainfully dismiss as the ‘middle classes’. Encouraging self-employed people to grow into small businesses, encouraging small businesses to become medium-sized businesses, and encouraging medium-sized businesses to become big businesses, along with encouraging investors and businesses from overseas will increase economic activity, increase employment and increase tax revenues.
Continuing to bloat the public sector just drains the nation’s resources – it’s a road to ruin. That’s the economic illiteracy of this pig-headed, arrogant, stupid government.
MB
you are the smug middle class
resurge. I was too polite to point that out.
Arsely road aint the ghetto.
Engineer, it’s a prediction not a recommendation.
Isn’t it?
Engineer
look on the bright side, there won’t be any cash for LGBT co-ordinators in future
hahaha etc. etc.
I am not sure I like the Labour version. Hahaha
Thats a spoof.
It was a recession that started with the Romanies.
Deregulate the mortgage market!
No need, I’ve already done it by creating 3 useless watchdogs, instead of one very good one.
It’s all Thatchers fault!
Well actually it is her fault if you study economics.
But we are part of Europe and Europe is ok so it doesn’t matter does it? Remember we are fortunate to have an ex- Chancellor at the healm so he can’t be crap can he? He has saved the world and we have been leading the way with all of this – we are best placed to come out of the recession first as GB eradicated boom and bust.
And read between the lines and the spin of Mervin King’s speech about the economy saying it will be “coming out of recession at the start of next year”.
Paving the way for a negative growth figure in the 4th quarter perhaps? Even the forecast “blunderbuss” diagram shows only at the very highest scenario a positive growth figure at the end of this year.
That would mean Brown only has one more chance to get a positive figure published before the election.
He needs to buy a Reaganomic pie.
Surely to God they’ll manage to rig a positive figure for Q4. Otherwise that will be seven consecutive quarters of recession. Even the ‘diasterous’ Tories only managed five consecutive quarters. And they managed to get out of recession ‘only’ running deficits of 8% of GDP.
Man this is so badly fucked up. It took a real incompetent jackass to fuck it up so spectacularly badly.
Gordon Jackass, off to watch 20/20 Cricket now, England lost their first wicket for a duck first ball, maybe Gordon wished them well.
Not bad 202 for 6, will England survive Gordon’s good wishes that is the question.
To Be or Not To Be, shurely??
He’s stopped the Boom and Bust cycle by getting rid of the Boom.
I heard (no references) that 100,000 jobs have been lost in manufacturing
since New Labour came to ‘power’.
God save us.
err closer to 1 million
Our manufacturing has been allowed to fail in order to make us more dependant on Europe. Thatcher did it too until she decided this EU business wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
Our economy is run for the benefit of the financial sector. This is sensible up to a point, since it is our most competitive sector, but it makes life difficult for everybody else.
Local papers and news and TV is full of Lord Mandelson promising the West Midlnds that he will try and stop the latest 700 job losses at Ericcson due to close their factory in June 2010(basically they can name their price for not closing their unit and hightailing it back to Sweden untilafter the election it seems) which since they are the only tenants (and unlikely to be joined by others in the short to medium term)of a new £40 million(courtesy of AdvantageWestMidlands ) Technology Park at Ansty near to Coventry alongside the M6(the government actually spent £10 million building a spur from Junction 2 for ease of access) Lord M has created “Task Force Ericsson”(I’m not joking) but at its inaugral meeting this lunchtime Ericcson did not send a representative although several local Labour MPs(soon to be ex-MPs judging by opinion polls locally);local council;AdvantageWestMidlnds and sundry other of the local “great and good” and various government agencies. An Ericcson spokesman told local BBC TV News that they were very interested in anything that the government/agencies could come up with to avert the closure and will be interested to see developments as they proceed
The Midlands and especially West Midlands is the battleground for the election – it is the worst affected region of England for unemployment of all classes and ages AND there are 24 Labour marginals all likely to fall to opposition parties at the GE. It’s all strangely reminiscent of Blair and Brown’s panic mission to Rover during the 2005 GE and looked what happened there
Went the day well?
Judging by the posts on left leaning newspapers there seems to be a backlash against Labour, despite their overwhelming annilhation of all parties in the marginal Glasgow NE seat
http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/maguire/2009/11/the-sun-shines-on-brown.html
Marginal Glasgow NE seat?..your too tricky for me Old Nick.
It would be without the postal votes.
Marginal ? My arse !
Labours safest seat – had to be to hold a buffoon like Martin … and look how he repaid his constituents. Not that Lord Martin cares now anyway …
Annihilation ? 33% of people bothered to turn out – 1 in 3 … and the only other party that may have overturned them was the SNP who were riding a wave of discontent last time they took a Labour safe seat.
Guido why hasn’t Brown fallen off a cliff in terms of his poll ratings then?
Make fun of Brown all you like, but he’ll be in Downing Street next year, and the year after, and so on, and so forth.
Tory party falls apart under the weight of disappoinment: Nov 2011.
New Labour assumes it’s rightful place as the party of Government, a few upsets along the way with numerous electoral uprisings here and there, but the die is cast.
The economy will be run in partnership with the IMF, a triumph for the Government of the people.
Dont fight us, join us
Gordon Brown abolished the economy
well that’s one way of abolishing boom and bust
If Labour get in sure – but I like boom … I don’t want to see it go …
After the election I think you would have to say there will be a blood bath in the Labour party, and Brown will be consigned to the very back benches, so no comeback for Gordon anytime soon he has done too much damage to the country already, have some sympathy for a long suffering British public.
who is #130?
He/She is clearly demented.
What planet are you on?
Gordon will be claiming his lordship and spend his days rambling and clunking into HOL ASAP.
When he realises what low stock the rest of the world, especially Obama and America holds him in.
To be fair, if you actually looked at polls, and politics, and took part in debate, rather than just guffaw guffaw on the Daily Mail and other Tory safe havens like this, you’d realise that the elections probably a fair bit more open than you think.
Latest polls are about 11% for tories. Which is a majority of about 3.
Latest poll you mean, not polls, probably by Populus, which showed virtually no change from their last effort. Polls of polls still showing around 14% for Tories. New Labour very selective as ever in the tractor stats.
so an 11% lead for the Tories equates to only a 3 seat majority !!! WTF !!! Just shows you how rigged the constituencies are, and you presumably think this is a good thing Nick ?
you want fairness and your vote to count everywhere?
you have to dump first past the post
simple as that
so an 11% lead for the Tories equates to only a 3 seat majority !!!
Yeah good point
Its something that needs correcting When one party has virtually get into double figures ahead just to equal the other party. PR doesn’t work lots of hung parliaments, splits and instability. See it in in too many countries.
Good stuff ! They’ll be an extra 50p LV for you on Monday
Agree with that.It’s all the gossip in the political circle in Westminster.
Given that Darling and Brown have now said that effectively they never expected the UK economy to return to positive growth until Q0409 anway if it doesn’t and the UK economy is still in negative figures that’s Brown & Co well and truly “fooked”
They will just say they ‘technically’ expected it not actually
To be fair, Gordon has abolished the ‘boom and bust’ cycle. We just have ‘bust’ now.
Can someone please just beat the crap out of Brown – maybe on one of those factory visits like the one yesterday to those poor (soon to be when they are axed next week) souls in Gillingham.
Why no one has a go and simply hits him as hard as they can,is beyond me – the person would get 100 job offers if he was sacked.
I expect that if you struck the Great Lump of Misery your hand would immediately become cold and lifeless and you would begin to fade into the World of the Dead.
Cause the twat is blind and would milk it for all it is worth.

Wrong topic but who cares, good info here about Glasgow East…
“around half of the working-age population of the constituency are without work, many of them in receipt of invalidity or disability benefit.” http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/jul2008/glas-j24.shtml
Thats the Labour voters then.
Did they count how many Patels had voted by post yet?
No, but theres a hell of a lot of postal votes with dodgy handwriting.
Basis for a raft of questions on next PMQ’s when Dave cogratulates Labour on holding the seat!!
” Does the Prime Minister know what percentage of the working population of Glasgow East is either on Disability Alowance or Unemployment Benefit?” ” What words of encouragement can he offer?”
Aren’t the top 130 seats with the greatest proportion of voters on benefits ALL Labour seats? I wonder why.
Sorry to disagree with you Guido, but he has abolished boom and bust.
We are permanently bust now. Only a mental patient or Liebor voter could think we are going to have a boom in the forseeable future.
Nice one
“Boom” has been redefined by this government as “not actually having to go cap in hand to the IMF”.
No more boom and bust!!!
Britain is best placed to fight the recession
Brown is a useless one eyed jock mong
We are indeed best placed…..to be the last out of recession. Another Brown triumph.
? Would you belive Gorgon if he told you that he only had one eye?”
” Until I have pocked my finger into the empty socket, I will not believe”
Is that another one of our policies he’s nicked?
Whilst many of you resort to crude and in fact sadistic criticism of Gordon Brown please remember that he is still a human being, fallible as we all are.
You may disagree with his policies, however he is sincere in his Kuntishness.
Please dont expect any better from David Cameron.
What a fucking wanker he has turned out to be
I wouldnt give that wet wankrag a job sharpening my felt tip pen let alone vote for him as Prime Minister.
Do NOT vote for any of them!
Fucking kunts all of them
tit
Not voting allows Labour to crawl back in. As evident by the past two elections and Glasgow by election yesterday over 50% of people did not vote.
Imbecile
Read my column on Sunday
I intend to shred Camerhoon and the shower of shit that he laughingly calls a “Shadow Cabinet”
Impotent idiots with no power other than to charge us all for their duck ponds and wisteria trimming.
Now be a good chap and kindly fuck off and fuck off whilst you are doing it.
C unt!
You sound like one of tats ill begotten, that should have die a death in one of his discarded socks
Boom & Bust = Brown & Bust
You see, this is my issue with claims that Guido is a “libertarian”. The basis that he prints purposefully misleading articles, just like say, a Daily Mail would.
When you add in the fact that he’s an ex tory party member, and wasn’t able to explain why his e-mails were being sent our via a tory party server, you know, I think you probably need an IQ of about 50 to not be able to put 2+2 togethor and come up with 4.
Of course he makes the odd nominal attack on Cameron. The Daily Mail actually do as well, now and then.
But in reality, it seems pretty obvious to the casual viewer that the main purpose of his website is a launchpad for tory leaks. Just like the “redrag” was supposedly supposed to be for Labour.
As for the article, again, this is my issue. A real political comment would recognise that France, Germany, Russia, United States, Japan and places like that have huge national industry and huge local manufacturing.
Thanks to Mrs Thatcher we are even below the likes of Spain on the “home industry” front. We are one of the only countries on the list that is basically totally at the whim of the markets, totally dependent on imports, and in turn, totally dependent on the economies and manufacturing output of other countries.
So when things go tits up. We have to wait for others to get their act togethor before we can benefit.
They have proactive economies, and can work their way out. We just sit back, and wait for Germany, USA, China to start pumping money into the UK again.
You see Guido, or Paul, or whatever you like to call yourself in 2009, that’s my issue with your pretty cynical site.
The Daily Mail could have honestly come up with this article. You’ve purposefully ignored basically everything about economics, to try and create some sort of cheap shot.
I’m sure Cameron will give you a pat on the head and a biscuit, next time he’s in Nevis.
Ex party memberships mean nothing. I’ve joined parties to keep an eye on my enemies and destroy them from the inside.
But your point about the emails stands.
Sorry chum,
You can’t whine that it’s a cheap shot when Brown himself tried to make a soundbite of being best placed to weather the recession
And you can’t whine that it’s a cheap shot when you bring up Thatchers destruction of manufacturing but ignore 12 years of New Labour doing the same and making the UK so vulnerable to the Banking catastrophe by Brown and Bliar’s sucking up to and expanding of the Financial sector at the expense of every other sector in the economy
MPs are disguting, revolting pigs grown fat on Expenses
The public despises them for it
If you are a Political blog and NOT cynical after the Telegraph’s expenses revelations then you are a worthless Party mouthpiece ignoring reality
Gordon: no boom, just bust.
He’s always been totally delusional…
don’t worry English persons, it’ll all be alright.
only kidding!
When Brown retires after the next election, How many of the BANKS will offer him a very lucrative position, after all, he’s been doing them proud for years, or do you think he’s on the take now?
His ultimate torture – lock him in a bank vault with millions and let him die a slow death.
The fact that Jim Murphy calls the result of the Glasgow NE bye election an “endorsment” of Gordon Brown shows what a thick tribal c unt he is and emphasises why Scotland would do well to get rid of Politicians of his ilk !!!!
Brown’s denial is limitless.
He denied we were in recession.
He denied the downturn would last.
He denied Labour was planning or would introduce spending cuts.
He denied mis-spelling (because we all strike-out correctly spelt words, don’t we?).
He denied breaking his own ‘golden rule’.
He denied himself an electoral mandate.
He denied us a manifesto-promised referendum.
Blair wanted a legacy: Brown is Blair’s legacy.
Labour is claiming (via Pravda) that the Glasgow North-East by-election result is an “endorsement of Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s policies”.
Labour’s self-respect is clearly shot to bits.
Hailing the non-loss (to the mighty SNP) of a seat that has been held by Labour for 74 years is the political equivalent of (and about as dignified as) getting your wallet and todger out publicly in order to prove to onlookers that, despite what some say, you actually can score in a brothel…
What happens when the commercial property sector goes into meltdown. No tenants. No rents . No income. Bust. Is there enough money left to bail out the banks yet again?
Of course there is Brown will just have it printed and to hell with the consequences just so long as the natural party of government can stay in power
Look around you
The commercial property companies are already going bust, or into “administration”…and awaiting a buyer
“The British economy has paid the price for his delusions.”
almost, but not quite; there will always be delusional mad idiots who want to control things.
The problem is not that a mad idiot has been running things, the problem is that the labour MPs knew that he was a mad idiot but still allowed him to continue.
The entire labour party adopted the “We’ve always known he’s a mad idiot, but we thought that if we kept quiet nobody would notice. If we admitted we knew all along then we’d be blamed too so we just carried on regardless.” approach.
Don’t just blame Brown; blame the entire labour party for allowing him to be chancellor and PM when they knew full well he was a mad idiot that would destroy the country.
And blame the BBC for supporting him, especially regarding his coup which they never even questioned.
The labour party and all its members, and the BBC, are just as much to blame as Brown.
The British economy has not yet nearly paid the price for his delusions.
The scale of our national debt will hinder our progress relative to the rest of the world for decades.
None of us can ever feel confident about our pensions again.
We are waiting collectively for a TV advert that offers to “restructure our debts into one manageable monthly payment”.
“None of us can ever feel confident about our pensions again.”
Speak for yourself; my pension that you paid for is guaranteed.
And the people were in a state of great confusion, they were unable to understand what was happening to them and who they should trust.
So they got down on their fucking knees and they begged for guidance from above.
The great hero, thick as thieves; being a most generous hero; personally intervened and advocated on behalf of the beggars and thieves and cripples that their desperate plea for guidance should be heard and that that if the wisdom of the Lord visited them and enlightened them it would remove the veil of ignorance and greed that blinded them, and they would then be able see the truth and no longer be so very confused and intellectually retarded.
And so they threw themselves to the ground and begged like dogs for guidance and they screamed as loud as they could so their pleas would reach the ears of the Good Lord.
“Lord, Lord we are confused, we are lost and need your divine help. We are being ruled over by THE UNELECTED TORTURER IN CHIEF, GORDON BROWN. He is sending our sons to die without supplying them with the right kit and with insufficient helicopter support. He is stealing food from our table by taxing us so much that we do not have enough money to run a household and he has made it more profitable to not work and claim benefits than to earn one’s crust.
What madness is this Lord?
He has spent the country’s money like water and has borrowed vast amounts of money from the money lenders. And when the money lenders dishonoured their debts we the people were forced by Brown to borrow more money to get them out of the shit. And despite having saved their worthless necks, the money lenders want to raise the interest rates again and make even greater profits at our expense than before.
And at the same time, to cover the losses we have made with the money lenders, he is cutting public services left right and fucking centre but denies that he is doing so when we can all see it with our own eyes because they are our services like the post offices and bin collections that are disappearing form our communities.
What lying bullshitting madness is this Dear Lord?
Please tell us what we should do. We are at the end of our tether and I know that your Son Jesus preached tolerance and forgiveness and all that but we have had enough of this fucking shit and we are ready to do some serious fucking damage to this c’unt.
What should we do Lord? Please tell us what we should do.”
The Lord considered his peoples’ plight.
Then He spoke
“I have just checked my records and Gordon Brown is not on my list. He does not work for me. That means he is on Satan’s list.
Gordon Brown is a black magic, lying, bullying, CIA agent, satanist motherfucker. I am God and I say you may deal with him in whichever way you see fit. Fuck him up good.”
Amen.
TaT, can’t you get near enough to him to smash his skull in the well known TaT
tradition.
Can’t some retarded fucker believing in a Socialist paradise get close to him with a suicide bomb and blow him to Kingdom come.
Please be careful though and not blow up any of those nice security guards that go jogging with him.
One of his Close protection team is a woman

Lord Mandelson has just been giving an explanation for all this on Radio 5.
‘Well, we were best placed to deal with a recession as evidenced by the fact that we haven’t suffered anything like as much as..’
The reporter interrupts ‘But lord mandelson if you look at ..’
‘If you would just let me finish young lady, . We are best placed to deal with the situation. We were the last country into recession so naturally..
‘Lord mandelson if i could just interrupt for a moment…’.
‘Please,Please…Allow me to explain. As the last country into recession we will ,of course, be the last to emerge from recession. That is only to be expected hmm?’
‘But Lord Mandelson. I think you should be made aware that your pants are actually on fire..’
I bet that was the only time in Fondlebums lifetime that he has asked a “young lady” for a happy finish
A filthy thieving pervert who would probably love to be raped to death in a south American prison
I may hate you on so many levels but you have succinctly summed up “Lord” Fondlebum.
What kind of country allows him to live let alone hold office?
Its as if a pantomime dame has been given the keys to Number 10

Listen here Guido,
How about attacking “The Sun” now
The Sun has apologised for misspelling the surname of Jacqui Janes on its website, days after the News International title attacked Gordon Brown for making a similar error in a letter of condolence over her son’s death in Afghanistan.
Earlier this week the Sun misspelt Janes’s surname as “Jones” in an online article on the My Sun section of the newspaper’s website.
The gaffe followed a series of front-page articles in Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid taking the prime minister to task for a series of mistakes, including spelling Janes’s surname as “James” in a condolence letter over the death of her Grenadier Guardsman son Jamie Janes in Afghanistan
Yu have a point Mr Godano…
BEEG WAWBLING BRESTS!
You’re not Gordon – most of those words were spelled correctly …
Spelt
Well, there’s still a chance we will beat Estonia or Cyprus out of recession. Anyway it’s all Thatcher’s fault.
Fings will be betta under Cameroon…
yep, great words there guido……yet the scotts stll go and vote fucking labour
Yes Jethro, the bucket of shit that you and I can smell is an infiltration of the left going on here.
Still, cheer up, the weekend’s here. Brown hasn’t managed to regulate, abolish, nationalise, privatise, socialise, subsidise, illegalise or quantitatively ease Friday Night yet, well not much.
Chin-chin! Have fun, everbody, but be safe going home – remember that 61% of people are caused by accidents!
It’s fast becoming an olympic event, to make it home alive on a friday night, well in certain town centres thanks to Gordon Browns key clientelle.
I used a bus to get home the other day, while the car was out of commission, never again.
The sun as predicted have offended the chattering guardianista classes, but lets face it, they don’t send their sons to war. They send ours. brown ineptitude struck home on the street where I live, whatever the puppet lobby say
The flag of blu-labore will soon again fly resplendent over Downing Strasse when I am King. God Bless Me, and may you all continue to savour the cast iron guarrantee that I shall for evferymore be here to serve you all.

It doesnt look good really , I mean spains banking system was well protected so why are they in recession with us ???
It depends how you view your scenarios I think the NWO is a mistake , but there are some big backers for it who dont like to think they are fools and perhaps dont envisage that there logic is infalable . It will eventually wheel round to all the problems of fixed markets and totalitarian control of the politics .
It isnt really clear in some minds what the post bail out will look like .CW thinks it will be a bankers solution , the loaded gun is being touted as mass unemployment if we try and reduce the debt too quiclkly CW is more worried by inflation meaning we cannot reduce the debt quickly enough .
darling is facing a severe chutney as neither scenario he has so far suggested goes anywhere near seeing an imporvement in real terms for 5 years , the sweetening of the liabilities is not really that likely by the time inflation arrives , all that is happening is price pressure to stop the lid blowing off . It will trun out that the last 18 months will have been the critical time in which the ruin dithered and hid the figures for wider analysis . Whilst he has created a sort of warm feeling in that not much visibly seems to be happening he is relying on stability of retail sales , to gradually generate growth .
Another bubble is no doubt thought a way out , but in the current condition it will then mean re insurers taking risk which is what sunk AIG when this one blew .They shouldnt really stoke it up but if they are mentally at the “all in” stage it will be trouble .
I know some economists see no option but then we are back with how the credit reference agencies bended it to fit , you cant do much at a cockwaffle party where the invited guests are all premium cock wafflers , discussing cock waffle for the enjoyment of and business improvement of cock wafflers inc with the only analysis being provided by cockwaffle publications and mouth pieces . That is why we need a change .
It isnt particulary clear when the ruin will cop for it , but it is far from stable running such a huge debt , to put it mildly he cant keep the truth hidden for ever and it looks to me as though he is on the verge of creating a run of cannibalism.
I still maintain my position of not wanting to talk the economy down , but he is wrong on servicing the debt and the devices to make it fit his plan .
re glasgow , it was triumph of boosting new votes rather than lack of swing , most analysts seem to be puzzled by SNP failiure , seems obvious to me .
The most stupid person in Great Britain was just on Sky news. He had just voted in Glasgow NE and said to the cameraman
“aye well I’m glad there back in hopefully they will do something for the local community.”
Now I know thay are as dumb as they actually fucking look. People like that should not be given a vote. I hope they get fuckall like they just did over the last 12 years.
Their vote is theirs to give, but it is a tad disappointing that they vote for the “crap” Labour party, methinks they need to get a life up there in Glasgow North East.
Yes they’ve only held the seat for what, 70 fucking years ? Still early days yet, these things take time.
OT There is quite a funny letter in the Eastbourne Herald from a former Conservative MP (Ernle Money, Ipswich 1970-74) laying into the current Conservative MP for Eastbourne.
http://www.eastbourneherald.co.uk/letters/Who39s-paying-for-MP39s-pamphlet.5822038.jp
I’m fucking sick to death of the BBC.
On “This Week” on the BBC they had comical Ali Campbell on, and everyone seemed to agree that Brown wasn’t weakened when it was reported that he’d phoned a war-widow and picked an argument with her and lied to her, and that he was in fact a poor victim.
Apparently everyone in the country was on Brown’s side on that one.
They never mentioned the problem of not bothering to resource the military, or the fact that virtually every single person in the military has openly said that Brown’s a negligent wanker who doesn’t understand anything that they’re doing and that he just hasn’t given a flying fuck about the military since 1997.
Putting words in other people’s mouths and saying that “the whole country is on brown’s side” is absolute fucking treason, especially in those circumstances; the BBC should collectively be shot.
I don’t know a single person who was on Brown’s side following that phone call. Everyone I know thought that picking an argument with a war widow over the phone purely because you don’t want to accept any personal responsibility for anything that’s ever happened on your watch was just plain fucking evil.
BBC: I wasn’t on Brown’s side. I don’t accept his “I feel your pain” wank, and I hope you people at the beeb all die of ball or tit cancer you fucking scum.
Everyone agrees with the Sun at all times
Murdoch is never wrong
TITS!
Britain is feeling Brown’s pain, every second, every minute, every hour, every day. Brown’s Broken Britain delivers the pain in spadefuls to the British people, who need to wake up and smell the roses.
Lizzie, your mate, the Clown has made this country what it is, here is an example of ZaNuLab in action or is it inaction ???
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8359575.stm
epic fail you twat
It’s rather like the guardian today heralding the labour ‘win’ in Glasgow North East yesterday as a ‘landslide victory for labour’ isn’t it?
The leftwing press ,and that includes the Beeb and the Mirror, are not what could be called professional journalists capable of balanced analysis. 32% of glasgow north east population voted. That was the lowest turnout in scotland, ever, anywhere, and a vote of 12000 from a potential voting polusus of 62000 is only 20% of the vite , not exactly a ringing endorsement of the winning candidate!! Yet they never bothered to mention that.!!!
Similarly the beeb’s disgraceful collusion with labour to smear Ms Janes never once mentioned that Ms Janes real argument with brown was over lack of equipment for troops that is resulting in their avoidable deaths, of which her son , tragically at 20, was one.
(I use the phrase “war widow” as a general label for someone who had a relative in the military who died on active service, she obviously wasn’t a war widow in a technical sense, she was a bereaved mother, but I don’t think there’s such a generic label for that, is there?)
368 – Could not agree more he spent 13 minutes arguing with a grief stricken mother FFS.
I was listening to question time the other night and the answer given for MOD bonuses to 50,000 pen pushers was that some of them went out to Afghanistan to try and counteract the IED threat.
Not one bonehead in the audience or on the panel asked the question “how many went or did they send all 50,000?”
Do you think if all of us who regularly post on Guido,were to meet down at a pub in Whitehall,we would recognise Master Baiter amongst us?
He wouldn’t turn up.
oh FFS do try to keep up you cripples.
we have already established that MB is not a he, MB is a she.
to be even more precise, masterbaiter is in fact a liverpudlian lady.
so if we all went for a drink and if she was present, she would obviously be fairly easy to identify.
please pay more attention in future.
thankyou.
would you like wheelchairs to help you keep up?
So you reckon Master Baiter is Anne Robinson in drag?
harpyharriett perhaps or patriciaknewitt???
C’mon Tat what makes you think mb’s a woman??
I need to defend the female corner here . I think you’re wrong! No self respecting woman would post the sort of mentally febrile posts he posts!!!!
I must confess that I did sussect at one point that it was gordon, under the influence of his medication, frantically posting to bolster his popularity.
Okay, let’s meet halfway, he/she’s a tranny.
Sorted.
True, he is gutless!
oi cloth ears! I have already told you that masterbaiter is not a man, she is a WOman.
why are you so thick and dim and rude lizzie?
anyway, one thing is not in doubt: you would definitely turn up you fucker.
whether you would put your hand in your pocket and actually buy a round of drinks all night is the question I am not sure about.
and I bet you’d dodge the taxi fare too.
you’re a dodgy tory lizzie, it is not your fault, it is in your political genes.
the selfish tory gene.

Do you not think he’s damian? We’d recognise him then wouldn’t we?
Definitely not Damian. Even one as devious as he couldn’t dodge his school litter-picking duties to waste as much time as he does on this blog.
I thought I recognised him at the pub , as soon as he publically dropped his trousers to reveal he had no need of toilet and exposed himself , before topping up his glass with hand wash gel , i wondered if i should claim my £5 . Alas i passed out and when i had come round , he had left a post it note with a cartoon signed richard and mark

Labour??? not wanting to libel anyone here ….however, all I can say is “Liars, liars, pants on fire!!!” Useless pieces of poop!!
Labour, what have they done for us???
hmmmmm turned the once proud Royal Navy into a bunch of politically correct pussies and cowards??
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8359575.stm
Labour have done you in my friend.
Lizzie, ZaNuLab have turned me to despair and drink……and I once was a proud Chapel boy!!
Bread of heaven isn’t enough.
Labour, odious turds !!
This is a truth that will always elude Gordon Brown…..A person will learn more from living one day with humility, than he will from living a life full of hubris.
This man was never prepared through a lifetime of envy to run whelk stall, let alone a Country. His Party knew this yet, still let him loose on us. They all deserve to be eliminated from the political map of this Country forever…or longer, if it can be arranged.
Alastair Campbell on This Week last night said: “… everybody goes around the place saying that actually wouldn’t it be great if we had a more open, more healthy, more enervating political debate…” (see from 07:27)
For a Cambridge graduate, former journalist and Director of Communications and Strategy, he obviously doesn’t know what the verb “enervate” means.
“enervate: to deprive of force or strength; destroy the vigor of; weaken.”
oh, wait…
hmmmmm, I note he, the piece of poop, omitted to mention the word ‘honest” …… surely something wrong??
Honest??! Alastair Campbell??!!
Are we talking about that man who invented the phrase “wmd in 45 mins” to give bliar the excuse to take us to war with Iraq and who then harassed a decent, honest, hardworking weapons scientist to his death when he dared to say that such a thing was a downright lie.
gordon also has further ridiculed the word ‘honest’ during his tenure of no.10 .
I can’t think of a single word that brown has uttered which has not since proved to be lie, including every single thing he has said about the economy!!!!
You could find more savoury items than Alastair Campbell in the jockstrap of a Turkish wrestler who lived on nothing but onion vindaloo and was allergic to soap.
Campbell`s flogging of the story of his own depression told its own story. One side of the hoon`s personality realised what a fucking oxygen thief the other was; bootlicker, bully, liar.
The bastard is on a self destruct loop. Like some computer from the sixties version of Star Trek, it can`t stand the truth and self destructs. That`s why Brown is on meds: a tiny little bit of him realises he`s screwed up the economy and the Labour party: his lifes ‘ work ‘.
You can see it in Alastair Darling`s face. You get the impression that any minute reality will break through and he`ll run to a bank, begging for a non executive directorship, pleading for his damned meal ticket when the electorate has flushed the toilet.
he’s obviously been reading harry potter
hmmmmmmmmm labour, don’t you just love ‘em, they have created a society where ‘hate crime’ and ‘thought crime’ will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted…. God forbid you are actually a victim of dishonesty or violence and an indigenous member of the this country…..believe me the Bizzies (Insp. Knacker) will be too busy to help or investigate !!!
labour don’t you just love ‘em???
If we’re going down the pan then why do the immigrants keep on coming? What’s the attraction with us?
Benefits?
Welfare benefits? free medical treatment? social housing? education?
And after all look how well Baroness U and Baroness S have done out of it – so they are real role models for, poorly educated, would be immigrants to follow!!!
We can’t blame them, we have to blame people like Baronesses S and U and this failed , rotten to the core, labour government.
NHS. Go to any hospital, fucking choc-a-bloc with them.
The housing and benefits thing may or may not be true but I have seen with my own eyes at several hospitals in my area the massive strain the NHS is under.

Double dip, anyone ?
When the scorched earth policies of the past couple of years unravel themselves after the election, expect it to be carnage.
The only thing keeping the IMF from the door right now is the fact that they expect us to take the opportunity to kick the fuckwits out in a few months’ time!
WE know what’s round the corner, the trouble is that about 80% of the British population is still swanning around in blissful (ish) ignorance.
You’re right – it won’t be pretty.
One slight consolation for you – if Ireland is going through it now, the recovery there might start, albeit slowly, while we’re still in the depths.

Mid November. Weather – hissing down. Economy – just about expired. Telly – bugger all worth watching. Radio – Any Questions, depressing. Refreshment – Theakston’s Old Pec. (yum, yum – £1-79 in Sainsbury’s).
Think I’ll stick it out for the Old Peculier. Bollocks to the politicos.
Paddy the reason we “monkeys” don’t know what is going to hit us is that our esteemed leader, the Snotmeister, is printing money like there is no tomorrow, increasing spending, and generally pretending that everything is fine in order to create an artificial feelgood factor. He hopes the British public are so dim that they will vote for him and his band of marxists.
He is in for a rather huge shock.
Good luck to everyone anyway.
Thanks – we’ll need it.
Good luck to you too, even if your countrymen did dump us all in it a bit with the Lisbon Constitut – oops, sorry, Treaty.
Leave while you still can, you are living in a country now where 60 to 70% of the country are useless collateral and think blaming the ‘rich’ will solve all their problems.
I think very early in Camerons tenure this will become apparent and the brain drain and talent flight will rise to peak levels. To leave all the chavs and brainless to sort their own mess out.
to 506 sitting on the fence. You are quite right about the brain drain and the talent flight. Many of us are already making plans to depart ,the only question being where to go.If you have skills, qualifications and of course cash there seem to be several choices: New Zealand,Australia,Canada or mainland Europe. The trick is to find a palce where feminazism political correctness and other forms of Marxist Shitbaggery are conspicuous by their abscence. Suggestions very much welcome.

Wheres My Ipod?
Son, get a fucking backbone you spineless bag of shite, I fucking disown you, you’re an embarrassment to the family.
I am No fan of Gordon Brown. I have to say though that over the last 12 months he has done a jolly good job at keeping the banks going and the economy moving. Trouble is he sat on his fat arse messing things up for the previous 1200 months before he got his reality check.
I also believe that Osborne would have been a whole lot worse.
When banks were collapsing thick and fast this time last year I am jolly grateful that Gordon did swallow pride and enlisted a talented team to keep the system working. If we take Osborne at his word then British banking would have collapsed. Of course the system would not have collapsed as Boy George would have been ordered and instructed to do the right thing (perhaps Gordon was too)
What would we have done without gormless gord, peter pan, aintbustinagut , postman pat, the straw man, harpy harriet and last but not least militwit.
A fine team indeed!!!
Forget ‘11th Hour’ he is ex Royal Navy, poops on the poop deck at the first sign of a raised gun and a possible battle… probably banks with the Co-operative Bank ;)
Where is my Ipod?
I have it. I’m enjoying some tunes on it.
I have no doubt that Gordon steered UK plc into this mess. I have No doubt that Gordon Brown had fuck all idea how to get us out of this mess, I also have no doubt that Osborne was much of the same mind as Brown over fiscal and financial policies (it is ALL on record).
I am just fucking glad that Brown let others take over where he had failed. As I say banks, ordinary banks were collapsing this time last year and thousands of ordinary savings were in jeopardy, Gordon capitulated and let others with much more talent take over. I doubt Osborne would have bitten the bullet so easily.
Boy George is Dave`s weakest link, he blows with the wind, his poolicies aere ephemeral.
All very interesting but for two small facts:
The ‘mess’ evolved on his watch. We are stuck with huge levels of personal debt and Broon will need to milk the debt laden tax payer.The same taxpayer will have to default on other debts(as Broon takes his cut first) and that means more bank bailouts.
Spending more and pretending it would be worse if we did not is a lie. It simply stores up more shit to hit us at a later date and for a lot longer. Let’s face it we have not taken over the banks -quite the reverse,they have taken us over!
If I had a broken leg, I would prefer it to be reset now rather than be given pain killers for months and never be able to walk again. However,I am being treated by a politician ,so my long term health is not relevant,as long as I get to keep my job.
The what if scenario is a pointless discussion. I could say Osborne would come up with a superb new strategy -like you I have fuck all idea if it would actually happen,or what the outcome would be. So let’s concentrate on what has happened.
Ah – the Duty Troll has clocked in.
Is this a flying visit, or are you with us all evening?

If anyone thinks the crisis is over and that deflation has been avoided and that all we are left with is a grim, debt-ridden future of low growth, high taxes and zilch spending…..just wait ’till commercial real estate implodes starting second quarter of 2010. The banks will be streching out their paws again and…….
Isn’t it strange how NuMarxists are having several sudden changes of mind on things they have previously ignored….Snotty pretending that suddenly immigration is an important issue, yeah yeah yeah pull the other one you couldn’t give a shit except for the fact that one of your poxy focus groups has identified it as THE main talking point among what was supposed to be your “core” voters – ie the white working class. What ye sow, ye shall reap.
NuMarxists = NuRoyal Navy…….. frozen in fear, infertile, promoting the concept of a cowardly Britain.
Don’t you just love labour??
hmmmm do we need any more kebab shops???

Send all the scottish mp’s home and leave us with english mp’s in an english parliament.

The Emperor Hadrian thought of that one in the first century A.D.
Mr Hadrian, build up that wall!
He was right then??!!
Nell
you’re right on this.
Scots shouldn’t have to be angry at decisions taken in Westminster and English folk shouldn’t have endure the Scottish MPs deciding their future.
Let’s accept we are different nations – celebrate our different national qualities and values – separate in a civlised way and enjoy a harmonious relationship in future.
God Bless our brave loyal soldiers dying in Afghnistan each and every one
Big hugs and kisses xxx

Ah man.
Nells mad at the Scottish Cabal in westminster, NOT the Scots.
Nell, a fine idea. As we are skint and cannot afford the bricks,may I suggest a small scale solution? Brick up Parliament with the scum inside.

You won’t be able to afford prostitutes soon, Romanian or otherwise.

Labour says the beeb, mirror and the guardian tell The Truth.
So this story in the Mirror about mandy and militwit must be true musn’t it??
It says that militwit is planning to become labour leader and mandy is scheming to become the EU foreign minister.
I hope both succeed . If militwit becomes leader of labour they won’t be re-elected for a century and if mandy becomes foreign minister we shall know that the eu is as foul and corrupt as this labour government.
I hope they have the ex Glorious Royal Navy as back-up and enforcers !!
Billy Bobs – explain your gripe against the Royal Navy ???
We need to understand before we can know whether we sympathise.
I want the Royal Navy to show some back bone rather than surrendering at the first sign of a gun ( Iran ) and / or a pirate …….. for f*cks sake this government and elf ‘n safety are paralyzing them…… it is a total embarrassment to those of us who care.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8359575.stm
RFA a support ship. May be intransit, generally not fully expected to do dirty work of this kind. Can do, but may not have marines onboard. Don’t worry about the Navy. It will do the right thing when required. Get the politicos out of the way and let them prove their worth. Killing is their job, ask around, they are known to be very good at it.
I still can’t find my Ipod
Well hang on a minute billy bob.
If we’re talking about the couple who have been kidnapped by the somali pirates.
Let’s weigh the arguments about attacking as opposed to keeping hostages alive by negotiating. It’s easy to shoot off today’s powerful weapons and kiill innocent people with ‘friendly fire’.
But shouldn’t we and the Navy be asking whether negotiations over a few days or a few weeks or even a few months might bring those people out alive – The Royal Navy needs to think about that and so do we.
Nell: Under Thatcher We Would Not Have This Problem Of Pirates ! The First British Person To Be Taken The SAS Would Have Been Sent In And What Was Left Of Their Number Would Avoid British Targets Knowing What They Could Expect In Future The Lady Had A BACKBONE Not Like This Fucking Whimp We Have Now !
Comment No. 1 from a clearly severely mentally ill “David Blake” is worth a look.
Labour showing it’s anti-semitic leanings again with jewish milliband and mandelson being singled out when the rest of them are plotting and scheming.
I don’t believe for a minute Harriet Harman doesn’t want the job.
Although I agree labour will not be elected ever again if Milliband did become the leader, it would hard to square that one in the mosques up and down the country.
‘ Scuse me.!
Are mandy and militwit Jewish? I didn’t know that or care about it!!!
Is that an issue ? They are both self serving and incompetent. As is gordon.
Do I care if they are jewish? No!
I care that they, and gordon, are self-serving and incompetent!!
I care that they are part of a government that is underfunding, undersourcing, under equipping our troops in Afghanistan to the point where they are are dying for lack of support
the militwats are sons of an illegal immigrant
I think the next move will be the figures for
Have you been drinking??? oops ;)
I think the next move will be the figures for…………..the q4 will be given in Feb 2009 I think it is. I can assure you now they won’t be negative even if they have to be made positive. The election will take place 3 weeks later with Brown saying don’t risk the recovery. The shit will hot the fan in mid year when Browns lies are discoverd.
Well you mean February 2010 of course. Brown thinks the economy when it turns will win him the election. Delusional Twit!
John Major lost an election when the economy was strong. He was, however, like gordon, perceived as a weak leader .
But Major and his government were not fighting a war, as gordon should be. They did not fail, as he is failing, to equip our troops.
Major was not responsible, as gordon is, for troops dying in Afghanistan for want of the proper equipment and support.
gordon is a dead man walking (politically speaking) , even his own ministers and mp’s are saying that.
Oops! 2010 indeed… I actually do think this is what he will do. It will be a ‘don’t risk the recovery’ line very similar to the ‘24hours to save the NHS’.
I really think that he thinks that line will work. Hopefully other voters are not all as stupid and deluded as the occupants of Glasgow NE.
The tories of today are a joke, they revile Thatcher look at Major as a weak link.
Now Major was dull as dishwater but he had more gravitas and leadership skills in his little finger than Gordon Brown can ever dream off.
Oh how things would be very different if Gordon didn’t make the deal with Tony and stood against Major in 97.
Alas the past is the past.
a chimp waving it’s genitals at the electorate would have beat Major in 97 and would beat Brown next May
One of the problems is that Gormless and his apparatchiks will find it difficult to portray David Cameron as a bogey man when everyone knows that Gordon dines out on the contents of his nose.
How bad must it get to make a dent in those buckfast addled benefits junkies in Glasgow? They had a disgrace of an MP as speaker and they still vote in droves for the next party mandated puppet? Do they celebrate Michael Martin as a scrounger extraordinaire in those parts? Give them their wish ffs, they can just piss off and take all the jock twats out of parliament with them. Because it’s so much better now you have your own parliament isn’t it? that cost how much? are you sure McDoom didn’t consult on that gig?
Oh C’Mon!!!!
20% of the electorate voted for labour in Glasgow north east last night. Only 32% of the constituency voted overall – in this the biggest labour heartland in all of Britain.
68% of the people in Glasgow North East (68%!!!!) chose not to vote!!!!
It’s the worst constituency turnout, over the years, in scotland ever!!!!
That’s not an endorsement of labour despite the guardian trying to sell the result today as a ‘Labour Landslide Victory’.
That is why Salmond is desperate to get cosy with the EU, only they will be stupid enough to fork out for the huge horders of scrounger neds once we leave them to it.
All those postal votes as well. What a good idea that was.
They were only supposed to help with the planned Referendum on joining the Euro, but have proved so very usefull over time.
Well done Mendledome, well done.
Can you run that past me again, figures are not my strong point.
Of course. Let me put this simply…….Y.O.U. A.R.E. F.U.C.K.E.D
figures not your strong point? As we all know old boy, stick to scrabble instead, oh ang on…
Dump Gordon and we might just beat the Romanians and the Greeks out of recession.
Should work out ok – a number of them will be joining us on various lorries shortly.

Got to despair at the RN in recent times.
Having got lost they surrendered to the Iraqis and sold their stories of “brutal” torture to the SUN. A torture that turmed out to be goody bags.
Their latest stunt is to standby and watch pirates board an English yacht and allow the pirates to transfer the crew to one of their hi jacked tankers.
Nelson would not be amused.
Not amused? I’m raving bonkers.
Agreed – except it was the Iranians not the Iraqis. The Iranians were quite good natured about the whole affair. ‘Spose they could see the funny side about the whole embarrassing incident.
The RN got a lot of stick over that one. In rugby matches between the navy and the other armed forces, the opposing supporters did a little rendition of Ottawans’s Hands up, baby hands up!
We trained the Iranians and we have never had any unpleasentness from them. When the US navy shot down a plane full of Iranian on their way to Mecca. I was on the ship that took over for the next 3 months.
300 men, women and children killed for no / no reason. An (unintentional) fuck-up of international importance.
The boys frrom the west left for the Indian ocean and we stood our ground
It was the fact that they knew we would never kill in that manner that stopped the Iranian navy and airforce from atacking us. All the high ranking officers in their navy were trained to Royal Navy standards. Therefore they are and will remain good men, who love their country and defend it with propriety and good will.
Gentlemen, do not sink to the level of “Revenge”, for it’s own sake.
G.S.T.Q
It was the Iranians, if they’d started shooting there would have been a right royal to do. Last thing we needed was a war on two fronts.
Sorry, that should be three fronts.

I see troll levels are falling tonight – poor lambs,they have had to work an 8 hour day with only 6 tea breaks every day this week . Their support for poor bullied Gordon seems to have switched off as suddenly as it was switched on.
I hate the EU but I thank them warmly for the working time regulations which these tossers will faithfully adhere to. Or could it be that the party have no more cash to pay overtime?
I am sure they are celebrating a ‘dramatic ‘victory in Glasgow NE. It says much for their mindset that retaining a safe seat is seen as a success.

The recession isn’t over anywhere. In fact, I think it’s going to get worse. I wish it weren’t so.
In the U.S., we’ve had a contrived little growth spurt, partially due to the one-time “cash for clunkers” car-purchasing subsidy. It won’t be sustained. Our official employment rate here is 10.2%. The real rate is probably at least 15%.
Unemployment is headed up. The U6 figure – a more accurate picture of how many people are out of work – is up to 17%.
There are 1.5 million homeless children in the US now, including 300,000 in the state of California alone.
Foreign direct investment has dropped 30%. International trade is down 10%.
I’m going to have such another busy week, next week.
I really need another pair of hands!
I think we should expand the Department. I’ll write a report to justify it. Why, – I might even be in line for promotion if I write it nicely, – and use all the latest jargon.

This graphic overstates the problem. It is fair to the extent that it speaks of bad management, but it is unfair to claim that we are in the same position as those other countries just because we join them on a downward trend. The graphic would be more informative if it were presented alongside a league table of GDP per capita at purchasing power parity. If someone showed you a downwards arrow containing Liverpool and Portsmouth and claimed that they were in the same position because they had both lost their last game, you would probably be skeptical of their claim. On the other hand you might agree that Rafa should go. Fuck shit bollocks wank.

In Glasgow NE most of the electorate would vote for a “scabby dug” provided it wore a red rosette on its collar. The fact that it’s one of the most deprived constituencies in the UK despite having a Labour MP for as long as anyone can remember never seems to dawn on those who can be bothered voting. Then again, anyone who elected Michael Martin, deserves all they get.
There’s a hint of a murmur of a suggestion at the Speccie site that the Glasgow by election was won by Labour by means of postal votes, as in one person completes and posts all the votes on behalf of a tenement or council estate.
