Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Ken Andrew, the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Carshalton & Wallington, is obviously happy he got married. So happy he put it on his leaflet (full size) delivered to the electors of Carshalton & Wallington.

Guido thinks Pam looks good, wonder what Pam thought of her wedding photos being used for propaganda purposes?  It is a sweet love story of two widowers finding love and marrying.  Mrs Fawkes very firmly ticks the no publicity box and wouldn’t even let Guido post pictures of the Fawkes’ girls looking cute in pink Conspiracy Member” T-shirts…

            As a person in the public eye, paid by the public to serve the public – it is very fitting that everyone should be invited to share in his happiness.

          My mate used to drink in the St Heliers Arms pub on the Carshalton estate and on one occasion a bloke ran in with a shotgun shouting,
          ‘Where is he?’
          A voice from the back of the boozer replied,
          ‘E aint ere’
          At which the guy with the gun fucked off.

          Engineer: Guido has sorted the totty shortage by hiring emily.
          so credit where credit is due. emily definitely gets the thick as thieves thumbs up. definitely.
          but FFS engineer, weddings? fucking photos of weddings? please fuck off.
          this chatter about an MP’s wedding is not tattle, this is fucking sub-tattle.
          did we pay any money towards this fellows wedding?
          not as far as I am aware.
          and so I am drawn to the conclusion that I must hereby award Guido’s “Something Borrowed, Something Blue” thread the lowest quality comment posted by Guido during the entire year. and yes, I know we are only in november but I am quite confident he will be able to sink any lower than this paltry offering.
          such thin gruel, tastes like fucking water.

    Talking of something borrowed, the Office of National Statistics released the Public Sector Finance figures for October today. see http://www.statistics.gov.uk/pdfdir/psf1109.pdf

    The current budget deficit is £7.7 billion from a surplus of £2.2 billion last year

    Net borrowing is £11.4 billion which is up from £0.1 billion last year

    Net debt was £829.7 billion, equivalent to 59.2 per cent of GDP (up from £695 billion year).

    Just exactly how is Brown’s “Fiscal Responsibility Bill” going to halve the deficit over the next four years. Darling’s Pre-Budget report is going to be a work of pure fiction.

      Master Baiter says:

      McGroom,
      It’s a global crisis, it started in America. It’s a crisis born of a malfunctioning financial sector and a now defunct dogmatic faith in ‘free markets’. The UK has the lowest GDP to debt ratio in the G7 apart from Canada. All the Conservitudes proposals would have made the situation much worse. That’s why they have reversed direction including now supporting QE (quantitative easing) and state control of financial institutions.

      Isn’t it?

      • 68
        Max says:

        No it isn’t. For a start the malfunction in the financial sector was an outcome of political interference; Clinton’s in the US, McDoom in the UK.

        I think you’ll find all but the odd lunatic communist throwback in your party still believe in free markets. A free market is not what Soshulists do very well so they tamper until it is a corrupted market, the money-making machinery just adapts to that. Stupid but so.

        Here’s a tory who doesn’t believe in QE nor in state control of financial institutions. Where do I sign? Oh and I think you’ll find no tories believe in these things as a matter of dogma, it’s just that the options were somewhat limited after your bunch of a’holes had completely fooked everything up.

        Again!

        • 95
          Master Baiter says:

          Grow up Max. The Conservitudes have had to wake up to the reality of the situation. The problem is they have been very slow at every stage. If they had been in power and followed the policies they espoused the crisis would be far worse.
          Nobody wants governments and taxpayers to underwrite the losses of bankers. However if the banks losses are not underwritten the costs would have ended up being far greater. For example deposits over fifty thousand pounds would have been wiped out, isn’t it?

          • Engineer says:

            MB – if the Conservatives had been in power, the crisis wouldn’t have happened.

            It was a Labour change that split the regulatory regime three ways – Treasury, BoE and FSA, and under that regime that excessive risk-taking and trading beyond capital reserve limits started – and indeed, was encouraged by Labour so that they could benefit from taxing the bank profits.

            It was also Labour policy to run a deficit in every year of their governance, ensuring that when the recession happened (and recessions happen despite the best efforts of governments, even when they claim to have eliminated boom and bust). A Conservative government would not have spent so profligately, so National Debt would not have been so high.

            This crisis is entirely of Labour’s making.

          • Master Baiter says:

            Engineer,
            The Bank of England itself has stated that it is manifestly untrue to claim that they could have regulated against the crisis any better than the FSA.
            The crisis is a product of the malfeasance in the US subprime mortgage market and subsequent ‘financial engineering’ that infected asset backed securities with those dubious and often illegal mortgages which were then distributed around the globe.
            All through the period in question the Conservitudes had been calling for deregulation.
            Cameo and Osborne have both apologised for not seeing the crisis coming.
            George Osborne is having trouble finding his elbow, isn’t it?

          • Engineer says:

            Bollocks – and you know it.

            PS What about the National Debt?

          • Master Baiter says:

            Regarding national debt the UK has the lowest debt to GDP ratio in the G7 apart from Canada.

            For example, UK’s is 59%, Japan’s is near 200%.

          • Engineer says:

            Total National Debt in 1997 £340 billion.

            Total National Debt in 2009 £890 billion, plus off-balance sheet debts for PFI, Network Rail and bank bailouts, thought to total £300 billion plus.

            Also, the public sector is significantly larger now than in 1997, so the (unfunded) public pension liability is significantly greater now.

          • What?? The FSA or the BoE couldn’t have raised reserve requirements?

            Splitting reserve requirement regulation (FSA) and Interest Rate regulation (BoE) was always a mistake.

            Anyone with a cursory knowledge or FRB would understand that lowering reserves and M4 of 15% would end in disaster.

            The debt was regulated into existence to fund consumption and increase tax take. This regulatory induced crisis was a disaster caused by meddling regulators not understanding their currency monopoly or even worse being manipulated for political gain.

            Either way the FSA and the BoE messed up. The FSA should bear most of the blame though.

          • Master Baiter says:

            The financial sector is inordinately powerful and has abused that power.

            In the relevant period the Conservitudes called for less regulation, not more.

            Lesson over

          • Engineer says:

            LESS regulation would be entirely in order if it were APPROPRIATE regulation. As AC1 has stated, the City suffered a prolonged period of INAPPROPRIATE regulation.

          • Max says:

            MB you are one dogma repeating saddo. What caused the fooking “malfeasance in the US subprime mortgage market (ignoring completely all of the other subprime markets including our very own UK one)”?

            Gummint interference; Clinton in the US and McDoom in the UK. The boom was pumped up for political reasons and your bunch of morons took all the applause.

            And no I would not have been underwriting banking losses. I would instead have focused on maintaining day to day retail banking transactions and protecting deposits, starting at the bottom end.

            And I would not be allowing the frankenstein banks to carry on as before and muddling up retail and investment. As they now are. But hey, unlike with Mcdoom and chums, the banks don’t know where my bodies are buried. Hint. Hint.

          • Master Baiter says:

            The economy is in crisis, the financial system is in crisis. However the point mental is that many countries are in as bad and many times worse position.

            For example, German corporations have generous final salary pensions, none of them are funded. Similarly Germany has generous state pensions also unfunded.

            In the UK ‘funded’ pension funds are a scam. The pension fund of company A is invested in company B and the pension fund of company B is invested in company A. It’s an illusion as amply described in the former boss of Glaxo, Sir Richard Sykes’ investigation of the UK equity market, isn’t it?

            Illusions abound

          • The IMF is coming says:

            Doesn’t include the shoes I just bought on Matercard either. What have overseas assets got to do with it?

          • Putin says:

            Smoke and mirrors -the UK taxpayer will be where the government goes for its debt repayments. As UK households are paying 65 billion in interest on personal debt,then they have no capacity to absorb tax rises. Cue more QE and debt. if they are forced to pay higher taxes and default on debts to banks, the banks come back for a bailout. Cue more borrowing.

            Therefore,starting the vicious cycle was not the right thing to do. It was a cowardly get out. When the music stops, no-one will have a chair to sit on and the shit storm will be much worse. Taking the pain early would have avoided the worse pain that is to come.

            When the population were borrowing McFuckwit should have saved,so he could weather the storm.

            I don’t care where it started. It finished here and all your glorious leader speaks of is spending money he has not got.

            1. Devalue the pound now!
            2. Reverse engineer small Japanese cars and electronics and start undercutting the Jappers in export markets. Get some cash back into the country.
            3. Two fingers to MMGW, and build coal fired power stations. We got plenty of coal reserves.

        They survived. How many died? If ZNL had been in we would all have been queuing for vaccines, there would be 10,000 new cases a week, a phoneline service and special NHS “drop in” clinics set up.

        By the time the scare was over someone would notice the back door to the Treasury open and another £200 billion gone missing.

          How many years did they lie for?
          Any idea how much the BSE debacle cost the beef industry?
          Any idea how many healthy cattle were incinerated?
          Any idea how ridiculous two watches Hogg’s huffing and puffing about the EU embargo looked?

          Yes…

    Natural selection can happen in one generation. If there is an outbreak of a fatal disease, those with some natural resistance will be more likely to survive it. Immediately after the epidemic, the population will have more of the relevant gene than before it and this change will continue into the next generation.

          So what says:

          I agree Labour are doing their best it seems to alienate the “grey vote” – the one’s that always vote although I suppose the rationale is that the majority of £1million+ will be in the S East and Home Counties traditionally Tory so I suppose Labour has discounted this part of the electorate in their calculations.

          They’re also not doing to well woth this group as their “Personal Care and Home Bill” seems to be unravelling amidst fierce criticism from various quarters not least Labour backbenchers and Labour Peers

    Brown's jinx that nearly killed a plane load says:

    O/T
    The passengers on board a BA flight coming in to land at H’Row back in Jan 2008 are suing for damages.

    The plane crashed just inside the perimeter fence.

    You do remember don’t you,that a certain Gordon Brown was within 400 metres of this plane,on his way to H’Row.

    Is this the greatest example of the fraudster’s Brown Jinx?

    I did ask them if Gordon Brown was booked to visit their Head office in Weybridge – luckily for them,they seem to have avoided his esteemed presence for the moment.

    Mrs Fawkes is a wise woman. I vote for a politician, not his/her spouse. I don’t buy this buy one get two crap. After all, who voted for that moronic Sarah Brown bint, or the truly gut-wrenchingly ghastly Cherie Blair? Yet both have sought to involve themselves directly in the political process. Why? If they’ve got something to offer let them stand for Parliament in their own right, rather than freeloading.

    Keep spouses (and other family) out of it.
