Quote of the Day

Lord Mandelson said when accepting his award from the Spectator…

“It is a great honour to be the first winner of this prestigious award to come from outside the ranks of the Bullingdon Club since 2006.  I am not sure what the collective noun for Bullingdon Club members is – I am looking for the word. I know its not chumps.”

    I like Mandy. He’s an unlikely mix of bounder and dandy. And he’s rich. My kind of chump.

      He is fascinating, and quite entertaining at Dinner I’m told. What an odd bunch Labour are these days.

    Headline in local rag:

    “Norwich City players meet Gordon Brown”

    ‘Two young Norwich City players swapped Carrow Road for Downing Street when they met the Prime Minister this week.

    Korey Smith and Tom Adeyemi headed to the capital to join in a celebration of modern apprenticeships…..’

    Oh, shit.

    And we were doing so well, too. That’s it then, we’ve been hit by ‘the curse’. Get your money on an away win for Tranmere tomorrow, followed by Carrow Road burning down and immediate administration.

    Bullingdon Club members? The collective noun is ‘bullocks’. There is some slight confusion about the pronunciation.

    Lady Mandy of Fey is type of person you need in a fix. I believe socialism and the Labour Party are a disaster for this nation and her ladyship is a guilty as Blair and Brown, however even if Davinia Cameron is our next PM ( God help us!) her Ladyship Mandy is an operator that the Cons would be silly to turn their back on ( yes yes jokes about being jumped on and bending over in the shower etc etc..). He is an able politician and their ain’t to many of them about.

    I bet Mandy is looking forward to pulling Cameron’s strings next year. Cameron the new Blair.

    You cannot have a government without Mandelson. The man is an evil genius and the Tories know they need to keep their friends close and their enemies closer.

John Higginson of the Metro explains Quantitative Easing:

“There is £100 and 100 loaves of bread costing £1 each. QE creates another £100. Each loaf now costs £2.”

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

Just a thought.
