This Speaker Chappy can he just sign his own public blank cheque for redecorating? I mean 45 grand would buy most people a whole house extension for the sprogs not just wipe down surfaces.
Well he did have to lower all the light switches
Of Course. I forgot about that. Then there will be the lowering of window sills and door handles to cost in too, not forgetting the modifying of stair treads and providing sunken bath.
Stephen Byers MP to stand down
Former Cabinet minister Stephen Byers is to stand down from Parliament at the next general election, he announced on Saturday.
HE ONLY STOLE 125 000 FROM ME . THE Hoon
BYERS. NO. FUCK OFF. LEAVE IT. YOU Hoon. GO AND FUCKING FOLLOW OTHER CHALLENGES, as you say, INCLUDING 5 years INSIDE
Lower toilets, lower sink, cat flap in case He forgets His keys.
So was the extravagant conversion of Bercow’s state funded residence to the suitability of use by his little ones just a scam?
Possibly not, but the revelations of expenditure of that magnitude may just have gifted a few votes to Farage at the GE.
Latest polls to show that Dead Cats Don’t Bounce
Especially if they’re Brown. Good.
@6.26. Little ones? Little ones! You mean there are even smaller Bercows than the great man himself? The speaker’s apartment must be like the set of ‘Honey I shrunk the kids’. 45k was a bargain.
according to the Sun, “THE pantomime season has started early at Westminster.
Tough new rules on MPs’ expenses are set to be SCRAPPED three days after being brought in.
Earlier this week Commons sleaze watchdog Sir Christopher Kelly said he would make MPs pay back second-home profits and ban them from employing relatives.
But hold on. Sir Ian Kennedy, head of the new body set up to police expenses, now says the Kelly rules are only a discussion document.
So are MPs handing back all their ill-gotten gains?
Oh no they’re not!”
So they are getting away with fraud and theft and getting to keep their ill-gotten gains.
So it falls to us to provide justice at the next general election. The question is simple. do WE allow them to get away with it?
Vote against the tory, labour and liberal thieves and fraudsters.
Depends on how hard you throw the dead moggy at the ground and how hard the ground is.
And A step up to the shit pot !
We are all living in a parallel Universe. Read Politics of Opium and ask yourself about the reasons our fraudster politicians give us for invading afghanistan and the reasons we are still in, Ask your self a question of how crime is rising and society is disintegrating, and all we get is lets employ more police. And yes Sack any Scientist who may not aggree with Political Policy
Sorry about that this is a bit more specific
The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, by McCoy, with Cathleen B. Read and Leonard P. Adams II, 2003
There’s a great quote in ‘Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA’ by Tim Weiner, where an old Company man says they really don’t need much funding from the politicos. They operate just fine using ‘arbitrage’!
Hence the reason, MI6, that I will NEVER wear a poppy….remember the Opium wars – they never ended and are still ongoing in Afghanistan. It’s why Bush 41, as opposed to Bush 43, is called ‘Poppy Bush’…
Thanks for posting the info.
Has they not learned nuffink?
Now that the East Coast National Express mainline trains are in the public sector, what wonders has that done the the liabilities and national debt the taxpayer now has?
The English taxpayer really is getting screwed.
There was some Union bod on the Telly saying that the railways were reverting back to their origins where the state owned and ran them.
The Stupid fucker had no idea that the original railways were independent venture capitalist companies.
He meant historical roots of the 1970’s. There is no history before 1979
does that mean that international capitalism and economics is the same as global capitalism and economics????
I don’t know. History only started in 1979 when Maggie Fatcher invaded Argentina.
And for at least 7 months use. Then everything will have to be put back to a normal height.
House of Commons know him as ‘The poison dwarf’, well obviously not the Labour contingent who are thrilled with his reluctance to play with a straight bat. So nobody has to pay the money back unless they have been effin outrageous.
In which case the Plod will muse about doing something, and it will be all resolved by another enquiry.
Listen while Sun fux tory twats
Government give wrong advice on the daily calories a chav can eat.
Millions of baseball capped motherfuckers have been denied the equivalent of two bags of Walkers Crisps or a Reclaimed meat and cheese bun per day for the last 12 years.
What do you expect? Just like the number of recommended alcohol units is made up. Labour motherfuckers.
I can’t wait for them to own up for giving bad advice about climate change.
I miss my 4×4 with chips.
why bother challenging the REAL CULPRITS when you can have a go at easy targets
FFS
tit
Don’t worry. They’ll leave no pizza unturned until they’ve caught up with the calories they’ve missed. It’s their rights, innit?
Your viewing figures are pathetic compared to what the bbc will guarantee me for my upcoming weekly ministry of truth speeches, and your readers are all chumps and chinless wonders, like the British Army which has been so terribly and unfairly attacked by the Sun, a newspaper I have never had any dealing with.
And you’re all racist.
Yes but what deal have you done with the Spectator
I would be watching the BBC now if they didn’t discriminate against England at rugby.
Hahahah
See all the little Jock supporters are jumping up and down for joy as their best Rugby team actually beat someone (but only just). Even though it was a team from some obscure island in the south pacific with less of a population than a small town and is so narrow you can see from one side of the island to the other.
They truly are shite like their so called footie team and they know they are.
Don’t have a hissy with me, young lady.
Keep it up and you’ll be sent to the Harriet Harperson diversity reeducation center. This is now a progressive society and we will totally crush any who oppose us. Get used to it, it’s your future.
You all thought you would get a referendum. Ha ha, what do you think this is a democracy? Next to cancel – the general election.
I will be using the BBC to smear any who call for a general election next year as closet racist chinless wonders. And one will have to remember the context of the conservative complaints when we cancel the general election – they will only complain because they see it in narrow party political terms. And deep down everyone knows it is shameful to be conservative – the BBC have finally got that into the tiny brains of the peasants.
Now work to pay your taxes to pay my pension, serfs.
Ooh, you are quite the little madam.

Ones called Gordon and the other’s called Mandy…
Any chance of renaming them “mild” and “bitter”?
‘Oh Mandy,
you came, and then went,
and came back again,
you wont go away,
Oh Mandy.
The Dark Prince “comes and goes” all the time-just ask his friends……….
Boy on a stick milord?
Thank fuck Stephen Byers is going
I always remember him being Transport Minister. He couldn’t drive!
Nor can McJonah which is probably a good thing. Can you just imagine the carnage on the roads otherwise.
I think there’s something very odd about men over 25 who don’t drive. Even more so at 50-60.
Perhaps they always knew they would be chauffered everywhere – at our expense.
Its nice and quiet when Master Baiter is off duty.
I dunno,I kinda miss that silly spoon MB.
Some of us are very grateful for a little respite. Anybody got any Persil?
No, don’t launder it, FFS. Pick it up with tongs and sprinkle a little ground glass into it, then put it back under his pillow.
Any truth in the rumour he and Tat are an item?
Can i watch
I suspect MB is actually Guido – adds provocation and spice to the blog after all
That would make Guido and Tat an item. Don’t tell Mrs F.
are you on acid you c’unt?
Didn’t deny it, though, did you?
so you are on acid and you are a c’unt.
didn’t deny it, did you?
you fell into that one you fucking spastic!
DOH!
lizzie, we all know that is you.
get a life you stupid fucking cow.
take your beating at the hands of the great thick as thieves with some dignity for fucks sake you are embarrassing yourself love.
Jesus fucking wept.
the new labour and tory trolls like lizzie who come here get bitch slapped and then because they are yellow bellies who don’t like taking a good fucking hiding they sneakily change their names and come up with snidey smackhead type of comments as lizzie the crackhead has just done. slippery blogeels.
if you can’t take the heat lizzie then fuck off you fucking lightweight.
raise your game or fuck off.
simples, innit.
Nice cast, wrong bait!!
matters not.
got my pound of flesh, didn’t I?
You may have got more than you bargained for??
Don’t tell me that you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen TaT, lost for words or what???
fisherman, never heard of you before. you are a nobody.
what political party do you support then?
I am somebody TaT and Independant like you, but I’m not a sad fcuk!
nah, you definitely are a sad fuck fisherman.
you are one sad motherfucker.
I do not believe that you are independent. I think you are a party member liar, a deceiver, sent here to deceive the good reader.
you are one sad lying motherfucker who cannot be independent because an independent person would not, in the current political environment, with a hung parliament a probability, attack as quickly as you did another independent person.
therefore you must be a fifth columnist lying c’unt.
logic innit.
you dimwit.
improve your game. drastically.
Just watched a programme on Sharia law in the UK. Scary or what?
I would say ‘Or what’
Arabs can’t fight for shit. they forget us caucasians are fucking horrible when we get going.
30 odd million dead the last time we had a real tear up.
How do you like them apples Mohammed?
please don’t kill too many, we are running low on virigin girl stock up here.
Yes, 30 million Caucasians killed each other for no discernible reason. All we Arabs need do is sit back and watch. Scary.
Your Economies on their knees, billions spent fighting in the Hindu Kush, for what benefit
Who’s winning?
Let’s not forget Laurence of Arabia and his fearless Arab Army. The Seven Pillars of Wisdom and all that.
You mean D.H.Lawrence of Arabia? Wrote “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” while jogging across the desert on a camel. Quite a guy.
Nope Lawrence of Arabia was T.E.Lawrence, not D.H.
Your Lawrence was a different one, a welsh guy I believe.
I didn’t know they had deserts and camels in Wales.
Literary Genius, I suggest you save your breath to cool your porridge when confronted by a nitwit whose Lobe of Irony was removed at birth.
Anyway, you’re thinking of T. E. Laurence Durrell, who wrote “My Family and Other Animals”, as well as the “Sea of Fertility” quartet.
Or was it the “Amadeus” quartet?
You are all wrong.
It was T.J .Hooker who paid the Arabs to attack Akaba. Or was it Admiral Ackbar who who commanded the fleet at the battle of the Nile? His uniform designer was the well known Welshman Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen.
“Lady Chatterley’s Lover” was written by DHS.
As Minister for Equality, I find your statement quite outrageous. The rich cultural heritage that Sharia brings to these shores is to be celebrated. To suggest that the law of England and Wales is superior to Sharia, or that Sharia is in some way inferior to any western system, is simply the sort of racist Western cultural imperialism promoted by the discredited Forces of Conservatism.
That is why, as Minister for Equality, I value and cherish Sharia and its promotion of marital rape, the banning of suffrage for women, chucking gays off cliffs and killing Jews. I see no incompatibility between any of this and core Labour values and anyone who suggests I and my party are merely desperate vote-grabbing hypocrites is simply a racist do-nothing Tory.
Thank you, comrades.
Fuck off, Troutface.
We know where to find you…
Of course you do; you will find me lording it over the likes of you, you grotty little oik. Gordon and I, along with Gordon’s important team of important ministers, some of whom are almost as important as myself, are getting down to the important business of making Big Important Decisions on how to ruin your worthless little life, you ungrateful smelly little pleb.
Get down to William Hill fast had to be the best article for me, I can’t believe they were still offering 2/1 on after midnight. Still had to chase the buggers up to settle the bet at 1.00pm the following day.
Anyway, cheers Guido!
Oh B*gger.
I didn’t see the tip till 11:30pm. Thought it was all over, didn’t bother. Thanks for making my weekend Road Hog.
Win some, lose some.
I’m a free thinking Brit living under Zanu, I always expect to lose.
Seems like a good day to bury bad news.
He hated Brown and told him he was leading the party to destruction and humiliation so this once and this once only I will admit he told the truth and as he hated Brown had the right idea at the end if not throughout his career as a Bliar shrill.

Made his Pile of money out of us now he is off Good Riddance to bad Rubbish.
“Mr Byers had a majority of 15,037 in the 2005 election, making North Tyneside a highly desirable safe seat for would-be Labour candidates.”
Could this be just right for a certain Lord to become the first gay PM?
No NO No, this seat is reserved for St James Of Park
I’m afraid I have already bagsied it now where’s me parachute?
Hettie! HETTIE! have you finished ironing me para’ yet?
I believe William Pitt qualifies as the first gay PM.
A Gaylord you mean?
Q: Why as Hattie Hardbint got small feet?
A: So she can get closer to the kitchen sink to wash up.
Any truth in the rumour that she’s got razor wire for pubes?
There is no truth whatsoever in that rumour.
Please don’t enquire as to how I know
Let’s face it Gordon, you wouldn’t know a pussy from a hole in a wall.
When it comes to our Hattie, they’re probably much the same thing anyway.
I’d take the hole in the wall anytime.
Oi, Jack Dromey, I hear you and Richard Timney share the same past times. Quite frankly, I don’t blame you.
By the same token, if you were not one of the visitors to the Gobshite Centre website this week, then you missed…er…
…anyone home?
Was there really nothing at all last week in the Daily Mail to write even one pompous letter about?
fuck off fascist
you could always read us some hilarious Labour propaganda Jimmy Shorts
tit
Better
Shhh everybody, Jimmy might have something interesting to say…….er, thought not, carry on campers.
can i stick my knob or kno8 inbetween them nice titties?
Only if you supply your own soap.
Poor Jimmy.
You can go home now, notice the office is empty? Notice the cleaner turned out the lights once the Bi-Election was over?
Your chums are all back at the Red Lion having a laugh at you me old sausage.
Harperson,seen nicer fuckin ferrets.
if i get into politics will the ladies love me?
the speaker of the house has got a nice leggy model wife.
It might be more accurate to say that the lovely Sally keeps a small accessory that has been manouvered into a nicely lucrative job with a juicy expense account.
Hopefully only until next May when Nigel Farage will hopefully put a pin in her expenses (paid for by we taxpayers) balloon.
Yeah, but look who’s been there before (allegedly, according to the Mail), obviously she always did have an ‘exotic’ taste in men.

I would like to wish John & Edward Grimes (Jedward) the very best of luck in this week-ends edition of X-Factor.
I will further give an iron cast guarantee that they will not be eliminated tomorrow,that fate will befall Lloyd Daniels
When I speak the rest of the world listens
Good Evening
Gordon if you gave a cast iron guarauntee that the sea wouldn’t part it probably would, think of the headlines. Quit being PM and become the next moses
I’m right behind Jedward
I’ve got wood!
Me too, ducky.
Or Please Please Quit being the PM and become a charity worker (which is what he said, this week, he wanted to do when he stepped down as PM) somewhere in the deepest regions of rural afghanistan.
Would have to be a very charitable charity to take on Brown.
Landmine charity looking for volunteers to personally seek out landmines by stepping on them before unsuspecting children step on them first?? Worthy cause surely.
Mencap are always looking for volunteers. Macavity the Prime Mentalist might just about cope in there.
Only turn left not right this time so the Arabs have the oranges and the Israelies the oil.
The best report of the week was that of Jacqui Janes, despite her grief, succinctly telling gordon, one to one, and then publicising the fact, how her son had died (bled to death to be precise) because our troops have a shortage of medivac helicopters.
No-one was surprised, although some of us had the decency to be disgusted, when mandy , the mirror the beeb and the guardian took up labour’s line and attempted to shift public sympathy away from dying soldiers. And attempted to generate pity for gordon’s partial blindness by smearing and deriding. a grieving mother.
I think that mandy’s complete lack of compassion, and the labour media’s complete derogation of duty to our troops in afghanistan in this case will lead to Jacqui Janes becoming a very effective campaigner against this failed labour government’s military policy in Afghanistan.
A fire in the MoD’s belly so to speak. I do so hope so.
She is a very brave lady.
We can’t say the same for mandy and his media snakes can we?!!!!
And I will tell you what, I went right of Ishmael, formerly Stanislav, this week.
I did not like the attacks on the McClaines, but his attack on Mrs Janes finished me there.
Ps: the Guido thing was even better this week
Another thing, I have been against the Death Penalty for my whole life.
I have changed my mind!
Possibly Mc Cains.
This Jenlain beer is very strong!
You’d be much better off drinking Tesco’s South African – Western Cape Red Wine. Wonderful stuff.
Death penalty for bliar, alastairc, mandy and gordon for taking our troops into two unnecessary wars we couldn’t win, on lies that they fabricated and continue to fabricate – I support that!!!!
nell…. one war was illegal and the other dubious to say the least, I support our troops but agree, Bliar should be hauled off to the International Criminal Court for war crimes..
“A woman convicted of murder has gone on the run during an escorted visit to the shops in south London. Police described her as “dangerous” and warned people not to approach her.”
Fuck me, if she’s dangerous then what’s she doing out on a fucking shopping trip?
Because it would have breached her Human Rights not to allow her to go shopping, you ignorant little man.
It will also breach her human rights if the police name her, or put up pictures of her. It would also have breached her human rights to be handcuffed to a prison officer during her shopping trip. Yes! Wimmin have rights*, comrades! Get used to it, you do-nothing Tories!
* unless they’re Muslim women, in which case it’s ok for their husbands to rape them in accordance with the rich cultural values of Islam. Vote Labour.
I suppose that’s why harpy harriett hasn’t been prosecuted for driving her car into another one whilst she was on her mobile phone. Labour wimmin are protected under human rights even when they break the law. Just like Baroness S then and the rest!!
The law is for little people.
Marie Antoinette thought that too.
Your time will come!!!!!
Marie was a royal, you silly little oaf.
Under the glorious Socialist State, the New Republic, there will be no royals. Only comrades.
And I will become Labour’s first Female leader and, ultimately, the first Woman Prime Minister of the Manche/SE England Region of the EU.
And you will worship Me.
Trouble is you need me to vote for you first. That’s the bit you’ve forgotten.
And let’s remember here the great romanian leader and his wife and the end that they came to.
Silly little oaf’s like me are the one’s that have the last word and don’t you forget it!!!!
Two word answer: Postal Votes.
Cheerio, serf.
Postal votes didn’t save caucescu and they won’t save this rotten labour government.
1000’s of postal votes, which are being investigated by the police, might have saved the labour heartland seat of glasgow north east but they won’t rescue labour from the next GE nightmare as they fight and lose seats in England in May/June 2010. I hope harpy harriett’s is one of those which will fall – dromey’s too if any labour constituency is idiot enough to chose him!!!!
Justice is coming!!!!
hey Harriet Harlotface
you know when a dog’s just pooed on the kerb and you think oh my that’s shit?
that’s you that is
I have a vague idea that she was done for driving at 90 on the M4 a few years ago on the way back from taking her son to university.Can any co-conspirators recall this and whether she lost her licence as a result?
Pretty unlikely she did. You can be texting at 100mph, kill someone and still get off with a 16 day sentence..
Name is the same as a razor and picture is on AOL
Have you heard about the bit Aljabeeba didn’t report? Just in case you meet up with her that is.
She’s 25 fucking stone!! What did she do to abscond? Run?
Weightist!
Holy Sh*t, 25 stone?
Note to Met Chief: Just follow the trail of Greggs bags, crisp packets and snicker wrappers till you find her.
25 stone? She must be Tat’s bird.
No wonder he’s been irritable and fretful these last few months – he’s been missing his comforts.
You leave Tat alone .
He talks loads of sense about independents.
I’m not a supporter of independents but I appreciate his views.
You should aim your energy and fire at gordon and aintbustingagut – that scum would be a more worthy target!!
You can’t miss her she’s 5 foot 5 inches square 25 stone and dark coloured. Should be easy to catch her she won’t be able to run very fast.
Compensation, legal aid, compensation, legal aid, compensation, legal aid, compensation, legal aid……….
Lawyers, hmmmmmm, another group of odious excrement playing a very dangerous game of tainting our armed forces in the pursuit of money, this taken from The Mail Online “A pre-action protocol letter was served on the MoD last week by Phil Shiner, a lawyer representing the Iraqi victims of the alleged attacks, according to reports in the Independent newspaper.”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1227739/Did-British-soldiers-torture-Iraqis-Ministry-Defence-launches-investigation.html
Reminds me of the time the British lawyers went to Kenya drumming up business by finding hundreds of women allegedly raped by British soldiers who had been out there on training……… nothing to do with Compensation, legal aid, compensation leagal aid…..
Well, in MY blog, I have THE definitive list of all of the 341,170 blog pages that were viewed over the past seven days. I suspect that most people would get to get a look a my list, had they a chance.
fine tits
No! They should do their bird after they’ve been up before the beak.
There’ll be no beak around these parts, I can assure you.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1227745/Most-Britons-dont-believe-climate-change-man-made.html
Next week’s topic – poll shows that more than 50% of us in Britain don’t accept gordon’s assertion that climate change is due to human activity.
He is said to be distraught by the poll as this lack of british electorate support, he believes, undermines his plans to grandstand at the Copenhagan conference.
Poor baby!!!!
Sorry meant to say read Ian Plimer’s
” heaven and earth.
global warming: the missing science”
Soften us up for more taxes, higher taxes and instill a sense of guilt……. well they can flock off, the odious excrement that is our Great Leader and his followers……
Its a bit of a rigged question as it assumes that the climate is changing.
The term climate change is now used instead of global warming as it can mean anything.
The truth is the climate evolves naturally over centuries. It ebbs and flows. And always will.
This labour government has looked for every opportunity to raise a tax and climate has proved useful for raising taxes!!
For many years, it has been a widely held belief that the environment is an issue for the left. So I understand why, in environmental circles, the high profile that my party has recently given to the challenge of climate change was greeted initially with a degree of scepticism. The green movement was similarly suspicious of Governor Schwarzenegger in California when he began to focus on the same issue. But suspicion has now turned to surprise, with the realisation that politicians of the centre right are engaged, in earnest, with this most pressing and crucial challenge for our society.
I shared a platform with Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth, and committed my party to supporting a climate change Bill in the Queen’s speech. Such a Bill would establish year-on-year targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60 per cent by 2050, set in place a legal framework to ensure the targets are met, and establish an independent monitor to report to Parliament on Britain’s progress in meeting them.
Politicians must work together, nationally and internationally, if we are to develop an effective response to the global challenge of climate change. Our children will judge the current generation of political leaders on our ability to put aside party differences in order to face up to this unprecedented global threat.
I recently met former US Vice-President Al Gore, whose powerful film about climate change, An Inconvenient Truth, is about to be distributed in UK cinemas, and I am delighted that Republican Senator John McCain, who has done so much to promote a cross-party consensus on climate change in the US, will be coming to our party conference in Bournemouth this October. Rising to the threat of climate change will require more than conventional party politics has to offer
- David Cameron
See time team today? the dug up a harbour somewhere in the middle of east Anglia from the time when the sea level was 2 metres higher Hmmm
Am I the only one here who believes in man made climate change?
The science has been twisted in favour of ‘NO’ climate change, not the other way round. The number of scientist paid shedloads of cash to flout the notion far outweigh those that understand it to be true. Always follow the money. By contrast, there’s millions of scientists on a pittance that believe Man made client change is real simply by studying the data.
This week our media and bloggs have been flooded with paid up labour lackeys saying Goblin McDoom is a great man with a big heart, we also have paid up lackeys saying Climate Change is not man made.
We are now classed as being in the geological era of the Anthropocene period (Man made). We massively affect our environment, if you’re a religious person, WE MOVE MORE ROCK THAN YOUR GOD.
Nell, Plimer is unfortunately another ‘anti’ climate scientist paid by BIG industry.
CBH industries paid Him $125,000 in 2009, plus another $183,003 in 2008. He also had 3,569,633 stock options in the company worth approximately $356,963.
Be wary people, there’s a lot people being being paid to affect how we think.
(Above figures in australian dollars)
More on Plimer here…
http://www.prwatch.org/node/8686
“Be wary people, there’s a lot people being being paid to affect how we think.”
does that include you?
Righto, you realise how long I’ve been posting here right?
I’ve just thought of a cunning plan.
We can invent a new way of controlling and taxing people through a fear of climate change.
We can ration carbon and give everyone a voucher, every time you turn on your heating drive your car, go on holiday we can calculate the carbon produced.
When your ration is used up you will have to buy more or go without.
We will need some sort of ID card with your DNA encrypted on it so you cannot cheat.
Naturally the elite and politicians will be exempt.
“there’s a lot of people being paid to affect how we think???”
I guess you mean the “Smith Institute????” (paid by taxpayers money by way of grants from gordon ie us the taxpayer) registered with the Charity Commissioners, based I understand at No.11 Drowning Street.
I understand that the Charity Commissioners have told it that it’s activities, and its taxpayer funding, is completely incompatible with Charity Commission standards and that it’s activities should cease.
I also understand that edb and purnell who have drawn money from it don’t give a toss about the commissioners rulings or the public’s view.
even Bush had to admit the fucking obvious eventually and he’s an Oilman
Bush rarely surprised me, until it came out His administration threatened top bods at NASA and NOAA over ‘man made climate’ speeches they were due to make.
Yeah, I was thinking of our goverment line over dinner, you beat me to it.
Should say too, Zanu has used science ONLY to fund it’s own ends, if they’re incompatable with Zanu doctrine, they’ll ignore it, bury it or lie about the conclusions. If we still had hundreds of billions worth of oil and gas reserves, you can pretty much guarantee their line would be somewhat different.
Thanks for the info Nell, hadn’t taken any notice of the ‘Smith Institute’.
Zanu really are a bunch of tw*ts aren’t they, even if there’s a situation where they could be completely correct with the facts on their side (for once), they can’t help but use coverups and spin to tell their story, bloody unbelievable.
Never mind all this. When’s someone coming round to lag my attic. I’ve waited 18 months already and not a peep
Al gore on track to be a billionaire,US c/c funding topping 79 billion + all the big oil company’s pay millions in to green projects ok for pr but it’s still cash you greenies don’t like to talk about !,hundreds of grants all for green projects but no funding for anyone to question the science [if you know otherwise post up you links?] oh and if we are talking about pr you lot have had the msm running you every utterance for 10+years and you still haven’t given one fact that proves you’re truth ,mind been lots of junk reports from you lot =mann hockey stick /biffa Yamal tree-ring farce so no shock there !
It is said amongst mountaineers, especially in the Himalayas, that there is no morality above 8000 feet.
I would suggest that there is no morality above 6 inches in Westminster
What’s the use of morality when you find a good 6 inches, ducky?
i’ll suck you off for a grand
Are you suggesting the speaker of the house is a moral man?
Sorry, too easy.
6 inches is meant to include a rat, which obviously has more morality than all our MPs put together.
“Am I the only one here who believes in man made climate change?”
you’re deluded mate
is climate change a religion now?
fuck off facist
It is slowly being turned into a religion by the saddos who will call you a ‘denier’ and then spout pseduo science to try and guilt trip you or tire you into submission.
Prophet Al Gore will be proud of them.
Please, spout me some ‘psuedo science’, I’ll tell you if I agree with it.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/11/09/2737675.ht
It’s not just more than 50% of the British public who believe that global warming is NOT caused by man made factors.
The Aussies are big cynics on gordon’s “manmade climate change ” stance.
The likelihood is they will have the same negative, disbelieving, response to his appeal for more troops for Afghanistan.
I wonder why!!!
best tell windmill Dave then dear
coz he thinks it is
Yeah Nell, but how big is the ‘Anti’ movement in Oz? That chap you mentioned earlier is an Ozzy. If He’s a local hero, how many have been listening?
News last night was that in Southern Australia there’s an inland lake turning into pure sulphuric acid. Can’t be healthy. Should say that’s not directly man made, it’s a climate related.
I’ve yet to see any of the “climate change is man-made” bods acknowledge that a lot of CO2 comes from volcanoes and natural wildfires. Do man’s activities exceed the contribution from these sources, and if they do, does it matter?
It’s turning into a religion. How much difference is banning 100W bulbs and stopping a few cows breaking wind really going to make, except to give a lot of people unnecessary inconvenience?
Do mans activities exceed the contribition from volcanoes? Yes, by a whopping 150 times, that’s 150 times greater, not 150%.
Does it matter? That’s the question. Majority of scientists believe it does.
How much difference will banning 100W light bulbs make? No idea, but it will cut down your bills.
How much difference will stuffing a cork up a cows back end make? No idea, but it will cut down on methane – a gas that’s far worse than CO2 when released into the atmosphere.
“Majority of scientists believe it does” really? what including the 31.000 who signed online against you’re rubbish science ? oh and 51,000 scientists with the Association of Professional Engineers in Canada that voted 68% against mmgw or the U.S. Senate Minority Report featuring over 400 prominent scientists who recently disputed mmgw oh and this =
A recent review of 1,117 abstracts of scientific journal articles on “global climate change” found only 13 (1 percent) explicitly endorse the “consensus view” while 34 reject or cast doubt on the view that human activity has been the main driver of warming over the past 50 year!
concensus my ****
68% of 51,000 canadian scientists voted against man made global warming…
The 68% figure came from how many of them disagreed with the question “the debate on the scientific causes of recent climate change is settled”, that’s a bit different, isn’t it?
Also the term scientist is a very loose term, there are many thousands of types of scientists involved in biology alone, how many of those ’scientists’ questioned were in regular contact with relevant data or indeed involved in any way with a climate related science? It’s a little like asking a JCB driver to give an opinion on Jenson Button’s driving, or visa versa.
Should also add, even in trying to find anything on your above info, the only places I found explanations were rather right wing political sites. Harldy unbiassed.
You wrote (I’ve added the 3% as it’s missing from your piece)…
A recent review of 1,117 abstracts of scientific journal found only 13 (1%) ‘explicitly’ endorse the consensus view while 34 (3%) reject or cast doubt that human activity has been the main driver of climate change over the past 50 years.
OK, you do realise that even by your own stats above, It still leaves a whopping 97% of scientific journals that DO NOT reject man being the driving force of climate change over the last 50 years.
who could possibly believe these ’scientists’ with their airy fairy ‘theories’
they expects us to believe man affects his environmet ? socialist nonsense
tell these fascist ’scientists’ that we don’t take kindly to their so called ‘global warming’ and ‘evolution’ fairytales around here
they even try to convince us the world is billions of years old and gigantic thunder lizards roamed the earth
who do you think we can trust ?
these crackpot satanic scientists or the Bible ?
You could try trusting your own brain, if you have one. Smearing by association is such a standard New Labour ploy that it is never a good idea to get caught doing it.
1 – The use of the term “deniers” is deliberately and very unpleasantly designed to create an association between AGW sceptics and neo-Nazis like Irving who are known as holocaust deniers.
2 – While Sarah Palin is thick as shit and twice as smelly, if she is a climate change sceptic then that doesn’t prove the case for AGW, Can you follow this or have I lost you already?
Evolution is proven by a mass of evidence, whereas AGW is a theory deduced from a relatively small number of readings of tree rings on top of which massive data models have been constructed.
This is exacty the same as the process that was laughably called “risk management” in the banks, and when a friend and I presented to a multidisciplinary group of postdoctoral scientists at Oxford on the subject of the failure of mathematical models in the financial sector, they immediately seized on the parallels between the Emperor’s New Clothes in banking and those in climate science.
Your argument can be paraphrased as: EAT SHIT – 10 million flies can’t all be wrong.
Well it’s good that you start by being totally wrong so setting the tone for your rant. Labour are cun’ts. Try again.
“1 – The use of the term “deniers” is deliberately and very unpleasantly designed to create an association between AGW sceptics and neo-Nazis like Irving who are known as holocaust deniers.”
You bitch and whine about being compared to Sarah Palin and the far right NeoCon fuckwits at Fox News then use their arguments. smart move.
Tell you what, show me where there are plans to round up those who deny AGW and exterminate them in death camps or shut the fuck up you hysterical lunatic.
they DENY AGW. What the fuck do you want them to be called AGW “challenged” ? THis political correct twattery and victim culture has reached epidemic proportions when the word deny is used to try and conjour up images of holocaust victims. It’s only associated with the Holocaust in your mind because you want it to be.
Grodon Brown denied his Government was in permanent crisis and he was personally incompetent despite the polls all pointing to this.
Brown is a crisis and reality denier.
Therefor we can lump him Brown with the holocaust and Nazi Death camps.
Riiiiiight.
“if she is a climate change sceptic then that doesn’t prove the case for AGW,”
It proves the level of intellectual rigour and level of debate of the most visible and loud political proponent against man made global warming in the world
And YES, her husband does work for a Giant Oil Company since you ask.
Why not ask David Cameon if he thinks AGW is all bullshit ?
“AGW is a theory deduced from a relatively small number of readings of tree rings on top of which massive data models have been constructed.”
What mental far-right blog did you get this gem from ?
AGW is based on a mass accumulation of data from many varied scientific disciplines of which Dendrochronology is but one.
Models are used in EVERY branch of science.
Because some real world processes simply cannot be replicated in a lab. Einstein didn’t have a spare universe to tinker with to prove relativity. He proved it with a mathematical formula or ‘model’. Darwin didn’t have hundreds of milions of years and every species in a lab to watch.
He modelled evolution and it’s effects in his brain but he used the scientific tools available at the time to aid him. Computer models are a tool available now.
Theories are refined to models to help in prediction. Climatologists don’t have a spare earth to fiddle about with so they formulate theory and prediction by using the mass of evidence they collect to compare and improve their predictions and theories.
Life saving drugs and treatments are modelled in computers to analyse and refine molecular structure and the effects of biological processes. You going to stop taking drug teatments because of these ‘whacky’ computer models are you ?
economics isn’t a science it’s a crap-shoot as the Banking catastrophe proved.
My argument can be paraphrased as EAT SHIT! Scientists know far more about science than fucking far-right bloggers and their retarded cheerleaders.
Einstein received observational confirmation of general relativity with eclipse starlight bending in 1919 as well as the precession of Mercury’s orbit like but the theory would hardly have been accepted by the overwhelming majority of scientists unless it explained and modeled the universe elegantly and enabled predictions which could then be tested.
If the best those wishing to bury their heads in the sand can do is look up and continually requote those few compromised fringe voices on the internet, publicised by those with a clear vested financial interest, then it’s no wonder governments and scientists no longer treat them with anything other than bored contempt.
It’s not so long ago most of the same people were denying global warming was happening at all. Then they shifted position to it isn’t caused by man when the science proved them ludicrous. Their next shift in position will be that it’s being caused but by a tiny amount. And so on and so on.
It’s the same old story of vested interests trying to hijack science with the money and bought politicians like those who told congress tobacco does not cause cancer.
Well said. Here I am going about the garden in mid-November in a T-shirt, just 25 years ago I would have been wearing a jumper and coat every time I went out and the heating would have been on for the past 6 weeks.
Wayhey, first time I’ve been called a fascist on this blog, do I get a badge?
Perhaps belief was a bad choice of words.
Do I understand enough of the science to make an informed judgement without bias from press / politics / special interest groups? yes.
Better?
ahh but can you tell me where all the CO2 goes when you burn the billions of tonnes of carbon (oil and coal) that was buried from millions of years ago .
does it just pleasentlty stay harmlessly in the atmosphere , does it get photosynthesised to make plants and O2 , does it mix with water to produce weak carbonic acid .
Burning the stuff is fine , the problem is where it goes ! and where it goes when the plants cant photsynthesise it , and when we cut down loads of rain forest to make agricultural land isnt it like like breaking a leg for marathon .
The argument is are we pumping out too much for the natural earth systems to sequester whilst at the same time cutting down the main clean up tools .
my favourite global warming wonk science story was from defra on cow farts and belchs , citing methane as a so scary , Cw thought hold on if you follow the logic , wilder beast and elephants in fact anything is that eats green stuff , belches and farts , so shoot all the animals to stop global warming !!
opps defra wonk science alert forgot to mention swamps and mangroves and thawing tundra and how much methane they emmit .
I mean why dont they put out reports that mentions methane in context , i mean what is natural gas oh thats right its methane , dont mention we have a whole industry that finds the stuff deep underground and sells it to burn it , blame the cows.
that reminds me why has defra given £4 million to a pesticide company to do research into wether pesticed is to blame for Bee colony collapse disorder , that quell suprise found no causal link to colony collapse and certain pesticides . even David Taylor thought it was questionable .
Planet killer labour producing wonk science for third way politcal purposes !

and the most pertinent passage from nature
“The IPCC report has served a useful purpose in removing the last ground from under the sceptics’ feet, leaving them looking marooned and ridiculous.”
I know a renowned climatologist and expert on cow farts like yourself obviously knows infinitely more than one of the most repected prestigious peer reviewed Science Journals in the world, but try not to condescend to them to much when you write to shame them your wonderful ‘ideas’ and ‘notions’ no scientist could ever have adressed or realised.
P.S. Cameron’s a Planet killer labour producing wonk science for third way politcal purposes ! who’d have thunk it
don’t worry about it, I get called a “fascist” a “racist” or a “communist” all the time! If you someone has to give you an -ist label, it shows that you’re really getting to them.

Gordon Brown – vile,evil,fraudulent,criminal.
Gordon Brown – finished for good and out of our lives – one Friday morning after the day before.
Bring it on Brown you scum – we shall demolish you at the ballot box.
Good evening Britain.In this,the first of my broadcasts to the nation,i’d like to set out the purpose of my task,and the reasons behind it.
Now,there’s a lot of nonsense put out by the mass of unregulated voices that infest the new means of communication in our digital age.They operate in an undemocratic environment,and are not subject to the critical scrutiny that those of us in Parliament,and the Lords,are put under by the electorate.These internet pirates,because that’s what they are,sail under the flag of offshore privateers.They enter Britains waters and plunder the truth that we,your government,pledge to defend as our pact with the people.They spread fear and terror across the land,using half truths,innuendo and cheap smears to belittle your Ministers,who have devoted their lives to furthering the welfare of all.They will stop at nothing to undermine the positive achievements,and increased affluence that New Labour has brought,with it’s farsighted policies that ensure that we can enjoy the benefits of tomorrow,today.
We may not be able to put a stop to this abuse of free speech,but we have to respond with a defence based on the democratic principles handed down across the ages by those who have graced the great offices of state that have made this country what it is.
In my next bulletin,i would like to address the issue of europe,and how increased co-operation between the brotherhood of like minded peoples,can only benefit Britains future prospects,and empower you all to live the lives you deserve.
Finally,on a more personal level,i’d like to say how delightful it is to speak to the ordinary people that i’m proud to serve.I spend much of my time rushing to one meeting after another with important people,dealing with mundane time consuming affairs that frankly would bore the pants off the bog standard man,or woman,in the street.You no doubt,think it’s a glamorous existence attending interminable banquets and events,meeting our continental counterparts,where we attempt to root out the urgent needs that concern us all.Pressing the flesh becomes somewhat tedious,but it’s an honour in which i’m blessed to be able to stand proud for you.
Good night and God bless you all.
Way to close for comfort.
fvck off Mangledbum, I’d like to see you try to stop my (alleged) internet “piracy.” Let’s see if you can track me down behind my multiple levels of shielding.
Mrs Blake needs to see Flash Forward at least 48 hours before her chums at work, that’s much more important to me than the cobblers a fvcking corrupt reptilian homo spouts off about to make himself sound good.
Another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody ……….
hello,
is anybody alive out there?
thick as thieves came out to play and all the trolls they ran away!
fucking cowards.
fuck off you part time fucking workshy lightweights.
useless, absolutely fucking useless: there are less than six months until the next general election and all the party trolls have either gone to bed or are in their cups.
it is as if they have resigned themselves to the fact that the prediction of the great thick as thieves is correct and unavoidable, that the outcome of the next general election will be a hung parliament.
innit.
hi babee twenty dolla suckey suckey me love you long time
er, I don’t mean to be rude but I am a bit busy trying to trick tory and new labour trolls to come out from under their bridges so I can get hold of them and cave their fucking skulls in and I am a bit too busy to talk to you right now ling ling.
maybe later eh?
if you’re lucky love.
but if you are at a loose end you could always make yourself useful by getting yourself in the kitchen and sticking the kettle on. troll killing is thirsty work and I really would appreciate a nice, strong cup of tea to fortify me for the dirty brain spilling work that lies ahead of me tonight.
could I have two sugars please?
thankyou.

New YouGov and ComRes polls both show Conservative lead of 14%, up from 11% and 12% respectively a month ago.
Unfortunately for Labour, and thankfully for everyone else, the UK does not consist of Glasgow North Easts.
stop fucking about you c’unt and tell us what the actual number is anonymous? 43, 44%? 45%?
not enough old beanie, simply not convincing enough my old china.
very clumsy spinning indeed troll.
even friendly polls are not supplying big enough numbers for the tories to be able to use as propaganda to hoodwink the swing vote.
insufficient popular support, that is the tories’ main problem.
david cameron was specifically brought in to provide that popular support.
he has failed to do so.
conservative policy is decided by david cameron and gideon osborne who are both fairly unsavoury characters, in that although they are both millionaires they both are guilty of unnecessarily claiming housing benefit payments from public funds and not only that but they also may well have arranged their personal affairs so as to maximise the amount of taxpayers money they would be able to claim through their allowances. this is clearly not the behaviour of publicly spirited people but instead of penny pinching miserly selfish self serving shady characters.
and yet these two men decide all tory policy.
housing benefit cheats run the tory party.
what a fucking carry on eh? you could not make this shit up innit?
what to do? well, cameron has got to go. he is far too untrustworthy and mistruthful a person to hold the highest public office in the country.
dave’s not up to scratch.
david davis would make an excellent replacement.
and gideon must be jettisoned too. dodgy fucking c’unt.
Will we see the great thick as thieves putting his money where his gobby mouth is and standing for parliament in the next erection?
I am a delinquent propagandist. fucking dangerous combination innit?

The Emily Nomates 2010 calender collectors edition perhaps?
I am a very big fan of emily no mates.

and if she is going to do a calender I would be most anxious and keen to attend the shoot.
We are all reassured in the knowledge that your presence would stiffen Emily’s future prospects
As usual Mr TAT is spot on and hits the nail on the head, I hope the tories lose badly or at least fail to get a majority, I hope the tories realise what a mistake it was to let those two NWO stooges hijack the tory party.
I hope every blind tory voter gets to repent their stupidity post election, the tories BTW should be polling at least mid fifties percentages right now to be in with a chance of a workable majority, the fact that they are not should tell the ultra loyal foot soldiers something.
Listen to TAT he speaks the truth!
Yep. TaT’s right. Vote no to LibLabCon pact.
NWO = one world communist state = thought control, eugenics and population massacre. EUSSR = part of the same plan.

“Today, I will give this cast-iron guarantee: If I become PM a Conservative government will hold a referendum on any EU treaty that emerges from these negotiations. No treaty should be ratified without consulting the British people in a referendum.”
David Cameron in The Sun, 26.09.2007
We now know at least one thing about Cameron: he is a phony putting on a performance for us that does not believe in a word he says. Bear this in mind when you register to vote.
I remember in the old days when Neil Kinnock was violently opposed to the EU. What made the Welsh Windbag change his mind I wonder:
1. He passionately and selflessly believes we would be better off being ruled by unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats?
2. That in spite of the Lisbon Treaty taking away individual countries’ abilities to make laws, he gets a heck of a lotta dosh from them.
You decide
I’m afraid I’m a bit thick. You decide for me.
You are the weakest link, goodbye.
Those who aren’t ready to go to the Lords will inevitably get on the EU gravy train, whichever party they belong to.
After all, it’s the right thing to do.
Back again my lovely puppets. I think the Cameron-Miliband project will keep the media busy while my butler George masters the art of concocting a Black Russian without dropping pure poison into it.
Ooh back again my sealpups. I predict a hung parliament. Well hung. Fingers crossed.
I see thick as thieves is throwing another tranny his mum must have taken him off her tit again. At least masterbaiter is twice as eloquent in half the words.
Whether you like it or not “cast iron” dave’s going to stop your benefits so grow up and get yourself a job. I know no fucking idiot on the plant is going to hire you, but try anyway, your going to have loads of time when they shut your super pooper scopper fucking job centre plus
Is tranny throwing similar to dwarf tossing ?
Cast iron Dave will do no such thing.Indeed we’re expecting him down the morning after his landslide victory to dish out hugs all round.The days of the “nasty party” are long gone.The caring face of modern conservatism will support us in our struggle against socialist job slavery.
Does he want our vote or what?
Be quiet and let me finish.
Liebour moron behind useless Jedward attack video revealed.
Clue: he’s Tom Watson’s mate and he’s very weird – and clueless.
thick as thieves , I am inspired , you are right weve been programmed to be cowards , whilst this lot commit fairy stories on the economy and trouser third way sponsorship , my appologies you are right . we havent woken yet to whats been going off , westminster has becomes a crooks finishing school .
So long as they keep getting enough critical mass of co troughers they get to form a government , somthings died and i am just beggining to smell it .
bit of a quandry for CW ! mind you peter hitchens has decided that conservative values were right all along and we have just been done over by marxist mind bending . I have a feeling Peter may be onto somthing , how did we end up with this ?.
Been mooted treasury now wants to sell off British waterways assets to raise 1/2 billion and so wreck a transport system that’s actually been working since the 18 th century,what next, how about ripping out all the lead piping and copper wire from the streets should be worth a few bob, Romany Brown and the White Heather Club strike again.
I see brown is starting to take an interest in the welfare of armed forces families after 12 years of treating them like something he picked up on his shoe.
Good on you Mrs Janes, completely blowing a coach & horses through the guardianista argument that it would all backlash the sun.
Lost votes eh, what a great currency for the average gut we call a british policitican. Will we ever learn the power of a lost vote, well obviously Mrs Janes is leading the way, so god bless her and I wish her well
The following is from an article in The Independent on 15 October 2006 when the shortage of military helicopters was already deemed critical:
“But Britain has eight Chinooks that cannot be flown, thanks to a disastrous decision more than a decade ago to order a tailor-made version intended to be suitable for special forces operations. So complex are the software problems that the helicopters cannot be given a certificate of airworthiness; it has been estimated that the problem will cost £150m to solve, more than the total original purchase price.”
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/the-equipment-chopper-alert-420174.html
Blair’s puff quoted in the same article about giving the armed forces whatever they needed is noteworthy.
The government is now reported as having made a deal costing £1 billion with Boeing for 20 Chinooks (some refurbished!) of which the first is to be operational in 2011 and rest taking up to 2017.
What further comment is necessary about the sack of toxic shit governing this country?

I see Brown is also going to apologise for migration again, but this time for forced child migration to Australia; though I’d wager the majority of those surviving adults would not give up their Aussie citizenship for anything.
Trust BBC News 24 to find the only woman who would rather have stayed in windy old blighty! – these BBC hacks are so stupid that they do not recognise the rancour of those with their palms outstretched for cash rather than “sorrys”.
It is rather disquietening how our governments are always apologising on our behalf for the things done by governments elected often by a privileged few.
We need to remember that universal suffrage for men was introduced in 1918 and for women some ten years later. Governments really love to impose some collective guilt on the proletariats of nations, when the guilt lies, most often very squarely on the shoulders of previous governments.
Perhaps there ought to be some compensation fund set up in the Palace of Westminster taken directly from the salaries of Lords and MPs in order not to impugn a nation for executive decisions.
I’m still waiting for the bloody Italians to apologise for invading Britain in 55 BC
I’d take this as a great, big, fat apology Caractacus – we might not see this brave fella around much longer – bravissimo!!!:
