+ + + Derek Draper Allowed to Practise Psychotherapy + + +

Official BACP statement here:

Derek Draper said: “I made clear to the BACP Appeal Panel my deep regret over the political email scandal I was involved in and apologise to my fellow BACP members and the general public for what was, undoubtedly, a stupid mistake. I have given guarantees to BACP that I will never be involved in such controversy again. I will carry out all my activities – inside my consulting room and outside it – in a careful and dignified way that ensures the public’s trust in me as a psychotherapist will not be undermined. In addition, my qualifications and experience will be listed clearly and in detail on my website (see below). BACP was right to respond to the legitimate queries it received but I am glad that the panel, having considered all the evidence, including my regret and these commitments, decided that it was fair and just that I should remain a member of the Association.”

Derek Draper has the following qualifications: An M.A. in Psychology from the American Psychological Association accredited Wright Institute in Berkeley* (2004) and a second M.A. in the Foundations of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Tavistock Centre, London / Essex University (2009). The former was the result of three years full time study, the latter of two years of part-time study. As part of his first M.A. he undertook an extensive clinical training, undertaking over 1500 hours of supervised clinical work with different client populations and therapeutic modalities.

Guido has heard a rumour that Draper intends to write a follow up to his First Hundred Days“, with the title “New Labour’s Last 100 Days”Draper did not return Guido’s calls…

*Guido will eat his blog if shown genuine pictures of Derek at the award ceremony for his Wright Institute M.A.

      Ha haaaa Eileen – when I just got back and saw the headline my comment was going to be:

      IT’S OFFICIAL – the world has gone mad!

      Great minds eh.

      You could not make this tripe up could you?? I shall need to keep my psychological house in order so’s I don’t need the likes of Mr Draper (his other half’s back on GMTV – it was quite watchable without her…..in a “I just can’t be arsed to get out of bed and want to watch something instead” kind of way).

        Never forget the “Golden Polling Rule?
        In the feeding frenzy that’s followed the Observer MORI poll we’ve seen so-called experts rushing in to pontificate because they thought they had a story. The election was not a foregone conclusion after all.

        But there’s an inconvenient truth that you hardly hear mentioned – what PB regulars will know as “The Golden Polling Rule”.

        This is that whenever polls have been tested against real election results it’s been the survey with Labour in the least favourable position that has been the most accurate.

        From PB.

      So BACP are allowing Drooper to continue practising whatever it is he practises on an innocent, vulnerable & unsuspecting public? Surely that was one of the points of the complaints – that with the ethics of a downmarket whore, Drooper was not the right person to be dealing with the vulnerable? So much for BACP certification – not worth the paper it’s written on.

      Yes, it’s London Branch (regulated by the FSA) did all the CDO contracts that caused all the trouble.

          Why haven’t the army put up temporary bridges yet? Surely it’s not beyond the brains of man (who boasts he’s been to the moon) to do this?

        • 290
          Engineer says:

          Probably down to allowing the floods to subside, the logistics of getting heavy lifting gear in, making safe the remains of the collapsed bridges, securing the services (electricity, gas, water, telecomms, sewerage) that ran across the river on them, and ensuring a good, safe foundation on both sides.

          It’ll happen as soon as people can make it happen. The poor sods are flat out inspecting about 1400 other bridges and Gawd knows how many cuttings, embankments and culverts. Give them a chance. The Army can’t do the job without liasing with County Engineers – and they’re a bit busy.

      It was AIGs London office that started to insure lenders against delinquency.

        Great Granddad says:

        AIG Financial Products Ltd. Subsidiary, but British Company registered as a bank in London. Technically the FSA”s responsibility to regulate, but it did no banking thus no supervision. The instruments that it sold were technically insurance contracts, but not regulated by relative regulator in London as it was a bank. The company’s sole branch office in U.S. was out of state in hillbilly country, escaping close scrutiny by the U.S. regulators as it was a UK company and not an insurer. AIGFP probably did more damage, from London, than any other single entity in the entire collapse. It was all done from London as that was the place of least scrutiny.

        The worst bit of the lot began and finished, not in the U.S. where it was too difficult, but right in the City of London.

        It all needed dishonest bankers, and fuckwit regulators, bank CEOs, and parliamentarians. The dishonest would have got little leverage from their own efforts. What was needed to create the biggest financial disaster of all time (and that’s not puff, but my professional opinion), was the unbelievably generous supply of fuckwits. Fuckwits such as yourself.

        McGroom says:

        Master Baiter, like every member of New Labour, you do not get economics, do you?

        The government lends to the banks at 0.5%. The banks will lend that out to credit worthy individuals and small and medium size enterprises (SME’s) at 8%. Nice work if you can get it.

        The BoE require banks to build their liquid assets (otherwise stuffed with toxic debt). The banks have been using cheap government money to buy bonds and shares, driving up share prices. The banks also buy rights issues like the Lloyds bank 1.34 shares for every existing share at a 60% discount today, thereby rescuing big companies.

        This is government sponsored bailout of big business, while individuals and SME’s are thrown to the wolves. Big companies take their rescue bailout cash and invest it abroad where their best opportunities lie.

        Gordon Brown repeats week after week that he has helped 200,000 small businesses. BIG DEAL, there are 4.9 million small businesses in the UK making up 95% of all companies.

        This government is hell bent on screwing over poor people and stealing their money to bail out big companies for the second time in a decade.

        The banks will take every opportunity available to them to make money. The BoE allowed banks to lend out money without caring if it got paid back because they bought credit default insurance from AIG London (booked in Cayman and Bermuda) and didn’t need to provision for that debt. The resulting systemic banking risk is the fault of the regulator, not the banks.

        This started in London and it was Gordon Brown’s regulatory regime that allowed it all to happen.

        Keep New Labour out of economics as everything they touch turns to dust.

        New Labour = Financial Misconduct

        And there were the boring old facts showing that the intelligence used by Blair to ‘justify’ the Iraq war was simply a memo that he repeatedly sent back to MI5 until they re-wrote (as per his instructions) it just ambiguously enough to give him a ‘plausible deniability’ defence.

        Evidence utterly ignored by the master whitewasher himself Lord Hutton. A perverse decision then seized upon by the evil fuckers of Labour to purge the BBC of any last vestige of dissent.

        MB. If the yanks told you to jump off a cliff – would you do it?

        Just ‘cos the yanks wanted the UK to join their silly Iraq war doesn’t mean Blair had to say ‘yes’. And just ‘cos Blair said ‘yes’ doesn’t mean the Labour cabinet had to go along with it.

        But we both know that Blair wanted his short, sweet successful little ‘Falklands’ campaign to nail on his popularity and the rest of the cabinet didn’t give a shit as long as they kept getting paid more than they’ll ever see again in their lifetime. And Brown didn’t give a shit because the longer he stayed on-side the closer he would be to getting his turn at the wheel. Like Blair promised him. In his fucked-up head.

        We really do need to get rid of this incompetent Labour government. It seems as though they’ll do anything the yanks tell ‘em. It seems they’re not world leaders at all but yankee puppets.

        Masturbator. The company was AIG Financial Products Ltd, a British registered company, registered as a bank in London.

          Taipei personality says:

          Agreed, GG. Baiter is an uncritical idiot, s/he clearly doesn’t understand that Brown very deliberately slackened the UK regulatory regime as a strategic counter-point to the regulatory loosening in the USA (ie the slow repeal of Glass-Steagall etc).

          Brown’s concern was that UK financial services would move to greener pastures, and his idiotic response laid the foundations of the disaster of AIG London.

          The problem was indeed global, but Brown’s contribution was considerable. He and Baiter are cut from the same shoddy cloth.

      • 177
        jgm2 says:

        Great Granddad.

        So the failure of AIG and the UK banks was caused by the useless regulator created by Gordon Brown? So really Gordon Brown is to blame for the unchecked explosion in credit, the astronomical house price boom and bust and the totally fucked economy?

        I’m surprised he let that happen because back in 1997, in the Labour manifesto, he specifically saidd he wouldn’t allow an unchecked house price boom but it seems that you’re saying that is exactly what happened and he just sat there and watched it.

        Say it ain’t so.

        I can see that the temptation to allow the voters to borrow an enormous amount and carry on as if they were financial geniuses just perpetually remortgaging their appreciating asset and pissing the cash away on foreign holidays, foreign cars and foreign plasma TV’s must have been enormous because that would translate into happy voters and more time in power but a prudent chancellor surely wouldn’t have allowed that to happen.

        And, when house prices started to flag in mid-late 2004 a prudent chancellor ceratinly wouldn’t swap his infaltion proxy to one that would allow the BoE to lower interest rates thus stoking the flagging boom in time for a 2005 election.

        No. I simply don’t believe a prudent chancellor would do that.

      Study: CEOs cashed in before Wall Street meltdown

      By David Edwards and Daniel Tencer
      Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 — 10:20 am

      The CEOs of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, the two investment banks that collapsed during last year’s financial meltdown, walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation even as the company’s shareholders lost everything, says a new report from Harvard Law School.

      The top five executives at Bear Stearns made a total of $1.4 billion from bonuses and equity sales between 2000 and 2008, while the top five executives at Lehman Brothers made around $1 billion during that same period — the period during which the companies ran up the bad investments that would see them collapse in 2008, according to “The Wages of Failure”

      http://www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/bebchuk/pdfs/BCS-Wag. … (PDF), a report from Harvard Law School’s Program on Corporate Governance.

      “The people who invested in these companies should feel betrayed,” Nell Minow, a compensation expert at the Corporate Library, told NBC’s Lisa Myers. “The whole idea of capitalism is that the people provide the capital and the executives take care of it for us. In this case, the people provided the capital, and the executives took it.”

      Bear Stearns CEO James Cayne personally made $388 million in the eight-year period leading up to the bank’s collapse, while Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld made $541 million. Boomberg news service notes that “shareholders who held their shares throughout the period analyzed in the report lost most of their initial investment.”

      No. That would be for the proper medical field of psychiatry. To become a ‘psychotherapist’ requires as much training and accreditation (in the UK) as becoming a hypnotherapist or an aromatherapist.

      It is simply a matter of hanging a sign outside your door and declaring yourself a ‘psychotherapist’. There are ‘accrediting bodie’s but there is nothing to stop you from starting your own accrediting body and then declaring yourself an ‘accredited psychotherapist’.

        A fair number of medics are psychotherapists. But not all psychotherapists have medical training.

        Not all patients would want to go directly to see a psychiatrist – stigma of mental illness, so they trot off to a psychotherapist.

        However, some GPs may know which psychotherapists have psychiatry backgrounds, and may refer the more ‘challenging’ cases to them.

        Is Draper in favour of more state regulation for psychotherapy?

          I have to say I think Jeremy Clarkson is a spokesman for gurning cretins. I’m not a leftie (before it dawns on you that it is possible to not like clarkson whilst being relatively conservative in all other respects).

          When someone mentions him in conversation without immediately following his name the word c.unt you have a pretty good idea that they’re going to say something xenophobic, ignorant, or just be a complete and utter bore.

          It’s mastabatory material for “working men” whose dream is to spend their entire lives in the company of the endlessly boring, generally ignorant, unhealthily xenophobic, car-obsessed middle aged “enthusiast” tards.

        Even psychiatric medicine has not evolved much beyond the bleeding and leeching stage.

        As for the legion of practitioners of the talking cure (reputed to be more numerous than chartered accountants), most of them are in it for the money, the prurience and the power. There is no science underpinning the so-called talking cure, just an infinite regress of increasingly inane open questions, one in three of which begin ‘How do you feel …?’

        I remember seeing this prog about the treatment of mental illness in the People’s Republic of China. The shrink and a clipboard-toting nurse were doing the rounds. Subtitles as follows.

        ‘What’s wrong with this one?’
        ‘He thinks he’s Napoleon, Doctor.’
        ‘What? Stand up, you malingering fucker. [Administers hefty clip round ear.] Don’t be such a twat. Of course you’re not Napoleon.’

    Labour have created a sick society where it is OK to do something wrong as long as you apologise. These half wits like Draper simply aren’t fit to be in their professions. They are dumbed down ‘chippy’ idiots with hidden agendas and sadly, over the last 13 years, they have well and truly infiltrated the corridors of power. We must get rid of these incompetents and return to the days when excellence and skill were most important and if you made a mistake, then you did the honourable thing and stepped down from your profession. An apology simply isn’t enough. Draper should take responsibility for his actions and behave with a little more humility rather than spouting off all the time.

That’s because for 5 million years they lived in caves, ejecting babies and whatnot, while the men went out hunting. The consequence today is that they can’t park the car without hitting something or taking 241 attempts.

        Unless all this information was known to the Lloyds board. In which case I’d still be very pissed off with the Lloyds board.

        Can’t see Lloyds CEO surviving this one.

        My suspicion would be that Labour deliberately tied in a non-Scottish bank and a third (out of the five big banks) to really nail on the whole ‘global’ meme. Instead of the quite obvious ‘Scottish’ nature of the bank failures.

        Yes. Now that I think about it I do think that is what happened. Lloyds was deliberately brought in for purely political reasons to hide the quite obvious overarching Scottish element to the whole economic fuck up.

    I have just sent this email to the BACP:

    I was amazed to see on your website that the BACP has reinstated Derek Draper as a Psychotherapist. May I protest in the strongest possible terms at this action which brings the BACP into disrepute?

    Mr. Draper claims that he made a ’stupid mistake’. This is not true. I have the misfortune to be privy to what he ACTUALLY tried to do, which was not a mistake at all but an attempt to construct the most horrible and personal slur against David Cameron, MP, his wife and his late son Ivan, and to release this anonymously. This information is not in the public domain and I have no intention of divulging it. But I can assure you that such a person has no place in decent society.

    Secondly, I have it on very good authority that Mr. Draper does NOT have the qualifications stated on your website today: “An M.A. in Psychology from the American Psychological Association accredited Wright Institute in Berkeley (2004) and a second M.A. in the Foundations of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Tavistock Centre, London / Essex University (2009). The former was the result of three years full time study, the latter of two years of part-time study. As part of his first M.A. he undertook an extensive clinical training, undertaking over 1500 hours of supervised clinical work with different client populations and therapeutic modalities”. If you are willing to stand by this discredited individual, please can you confirm to me that you have proof of these qualifications.

    I will post their reply

      Thank you for your email, which we note is not private but has also been published on the Guido Fawkes website.

      We are able to confirm that BACP has seen the MA certificate that Mr Draper has obtained from the Wright Institute. The status of this degree has been confirmed in writing by their President, Peter Dybwad. It would therefore be helpful if bloggers and journalists who have challenged the possession of these degrees by Mr Draper would publish a correction. We can also confirm that Mr Draper holds a valid MA from the Tavistock Clinic in North London.

      On a more general note regarding criminal record (CRB) checks, these are not yet compulsorily required because the professions of counselling and psychotherapy are not, as yet, statutorily regulated, despite a long campaign by BACP to achieve this end. Such regulation appears unlikely to happen before 2012 (although counselling psychologists were statutorily regulated earlier this year). Those
      currently working for local authorities are obliged to obtain CRB clearance but under the present system the checks in wider practice are a matter of contract between employers and individuals.

      Mr. Draper has assured BACP that he obeys all relevant laws and regulations in relation to his practice, and holds an ongoing certificate of Professional Liability Insurance.

    Sky news reporting +++++

    Is the former Speaker, or perhaps the Clerk of the House, Malcolm Jack, attempting to pin the blame for the arrest and the raid on Green’s Commons office on the Sergeant at Arms, Jill Pay? Green has unearthed a major error in evidence given by Martin and Jack to a committee of MPs headed by Sir Menzies Campbell, which is investigating the whole affair.

    Cock-up or conspiracy?

    Jack told the committee on November 9 that the first he knew about the raid, which happened on November 27 last year and was memorably captured by the Tories on WebCameron, was at 2.20pm.

    Wrong!

    It wasn’t until about 7.30pm that evening – some time before an official Tory briefing by party officials – that I reported the arrest, a report that you can still see on YouTube.

    Now a furious Damian Green has fired off a letter to Sir Menzies Campbell, declaring that the faulty evidence may be relevant to the question of who was consulted about the arrest and raid by Jill Pay and when.

    Anyway fuck Draper, why dont you concentrate on this latest UEA leaked email scam? This promises to be a biggie, just like the expenses scandal. One email reads:

    “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature (the science journal) trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

    In other words, to deliberately manipulate climate data in order to pull the wool over the public’s eyes. And also exclude those that have the temerity to disagree with them:

    “I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”

    And

    “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t… Our observing system is inadequate”

    In other words, they KNOW it aint happening.

    The e-mail authors also refer to skeptics as “idiots,” fantasize in one case about beating up a skeptic, and discuss ways to prevent skeptics’ papers from being published.

    I’ve thought this for some time, but now I’ll say it: many academics in this field, like MPs, are nothing but a bunch of charlatans and wankers. Like GCSEs nowadays, PhDs don’t mean fuck all. It’s about time they all got their comeuppance. Give ‘em a hot bath and proper job like cleaning bogs or digging up turnips.

      Oh the simple pleasures of denial! It reminds me of the Chest Unit at Hill End Hospital in the 1950’s. On night duty, sitting at the sister’s desk in semi-darkness, listening to the sound of 30 or more terminally ill lung cancer patients noisily drowning in their own sputum, all of them without exception heavy smokers, and knowing that when I went off duty I would meet people claiming that smoking wasn’t harmful – usually because their Granny lived to 90 and smoked. It was 40 years, 40 years before they cottoned on. So, deny that mankind is contributing to global warming if you will and wreck my grandchildren’s future by your collective inertia, but at least have the wit to look at the evidence, the hard factual evidence.

        I tell you what – you study Greek and Latin and then read the bible in the original translation and then come back and tell us whether you believe in it or not.

        Because that’s the ludicrous hurdle you’re putting in the way of folk who’re not AWG cultists.

        The cat is out of the bag. The custodians of the self-prolaimed IPCC data have been rigging figures, fucking with the data and supressing dissent on a scale unseen outside this Labour government.

        Although the BBC still isn’t prominently carrying the story – choosing to ‘report’ it in their ‘Technology’ section as a hacking story rather than a ‘World’ story the BBC has been carrying stories recently about how embarrassing it all is that all of the models the AGW cult have been using have failed to ‘predict’ the flat/declining temperatures we’ve had this past decade.

        Now the AWG cult has moved on to the ‘oh well the UEA data isn’t that important anyway – we’ve got this much more comprehensive dataset from GISS which shows that 2005 was a warmer year than 1999….’

        Uh-huh. And none of the brilliant geographers is capable of making the giant mental leap to realise that by dissing the ‘old’ ‘less comprehensive’ UEA data in favour of their new comprehensive data (cos it still provides a ‘maximum’ that isn’t over ten years old) what they’re actually doing is pouring shit on every other proxy data set they have going back in history. The tree rings. The ice cores. All several orders of magnitude less well-sampled than even the the boring old weather observations over the last 150 or so years.

        S’cuse me geographers but if this satellite data is the ‘real’ definitive dataset ‘cos it’s so much more comprehensive than the old UEA stuff then any dataset that is less well sampled is even less relevant. So a few tree cores from a remote location in Kamchatka is several orders of magnitude less reliable than the new dataset.

        So basically we now have no credible data except maybe ten years satellite observations which prove fuck all.

        It’s completely fucked. AGW is a false religion and Al Gore is a false prophet.

        You have only to look at the profoundly unprincipled money-grubbing disciples AGW collects (John Prescott) to know that it has as much credibility as Scientology.

        Al-fucking-Gore is apparently practically a billionaire from the sales of his discredited ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ with its conveniently rigged ‘hockey stick’. Yet if anybody disses this cult they’re all over the fucker claiming they’re in the pay of Shell or BP and so motivated soley by money.

        But Al Gore makes a billion and it’s cos he’s motivated by lurrrrrve?

          Food for thought.

          November 18 – the United Nations Population Fund issued its 2009 State of the World Population report. Consider these quotes from an AFP article about that report:
          Braking the rise in Earth’s population would be a major help in the fight against global warming, according to an unprecedented UN report published Wednesday that draws a link between demographic pressure and climate change….
          “It really is the first time that a United Nations agency has looked hard at the connections between population and climate change… People are at the root of the problem.…”
          The report… paints a grim tableau of the peril of climate change and the likely impact on humans, [and] notably puts distance between a decades-long tradition in the UN arena whereby population growth and its part in environmental destruction were rarely – if ever – evoked.
          “Fear of appearing supportive of population control has until recently held back any mention of ‘population’ in the climate debate,” the document admits.
          Things, though, are starting to change. More than three dozen developing countries have already included population issues in national plans on climate, it says.

            They are doing it far more directly. Pollution, poisoning, river misuse, tarmac, concrete, levees, over agriculture, over fishing etc. (These are only possible because of the abundance of oil for transport)

            As with all good lies it is based on truth but manipulated for certain gain. The confusing thing is that the arguments are based on the principle of “you are with us or against us”. There is no room to say both sides are wrong. So people just align with the least bad side.

            But both sides ARE wrong. Because to tell the truth is a taboo. There is only one cure for the earth and that is nuclear. But not in a controlled manner.

    any achance of fawkes view of NN discussion on secret bank loans , have small share holders been cheated ??

    RE Moral superiority of captialism . I quite agree , although the extraordinary circumstances is not really making people think in an idealogical way , which perhaps is how the ruin sees it . The scale of the debt is bound to have reactionary thoughts , and we all know the ruin has been testing the water for what would be palletable to the UK electorate , to prop his bag of spanners thinking up , alas his 18 month dither has just delayed the problem post bail out , of the recession . The marxist nutters are embarased , there position is so weak they cant even explain it , but then again they always did look at it as supply and demand , but forgot about how important wealth is .
    The ruin is hoping to make the case that debt instability and ailing growth is not recession and blaming banks for being greedy and amoral is what he hopes gets him off . being a nice man in unpleasant company is perhaps the vicars excuse . Hes been totally off air whilst spin factory slaves have been lashed to mitigate Darling giving pre budget speech with his trousers down .

    The formulation of a weak argument is a interesting ruse , is the ruin being dishonest ? well parliament huffs and puffs about treasury seemingly churning out economincs fro 5 year olds, but the ruin doesnt see how much the public will hate him when they realise he makes them stupid, oh no, none of you need to know about things like state spending and private wealth , it will all be fine , its just debt .

    well it isnt just debt , because servicing that debt affects everyones quality of life , the ruin has manged to pull off of having no reserve whilst running up the biggest debt , he cannot re build the reserve and yet hasnt even told us how the debt will be repaid , he could well become prisoner of weak argument , historians take note , our PM is making his memorial “waster of the north” a 200ft casty irony child throwing bundles of cash to the wind , whilst he cranks the NWO mincer and treads the lilliputions who disagree into the earth . My people I have given you ???? . Brown land .

    The only thing that has aved his lying ass is that inflation has not arrived , if it had , he wouldnt just be on the ropes , he would be at a swiss clinic trying to get plastic surgery and a new identity .

    Its isnt so much that hes lucky and a liar , its that if the figures turn before the debt is reduced to 1997 levels we are going to be toasted , the ruin has said nothing about inflation risk over the next 2 years , he cannot achieve growth if inflation comes with it , the debt will remain . In the long run he will have harmed the poor by depleating wealth reserves , as it is possible somthings may never grow again in the scorched earth he is leaving .

    It is my opinion that Draper has undergone extensive, long term mind control. Most likely still undergoing so called ‘treatment,’ hence his relationship with The Tavistock Centre.

    Effective Zombies like Draper are the stuff of nightmares. The sort of chaps who would not only be only too keen to administer the cyanide, or puss the button. IMO DD is the sort who would happily do so in the safe knowledge that he was doing the victims and the world a massive favour.

    Please be reminded.

    The lie is different at every level, this is the nature of mind control for a Common Purpose. Mind control victims by definition do not generally know that they have been, and are very likely still being, played like a fiddle.

    A classic give away is frequent bouts of irrational anger, and spitefully resented hatreds, usually accompanied by more then an average amount of general paranoia, and confusion. Draper, and Brown for that matter, feel constantly out of their depths. Neither of them have a serious clue as to how they got to be doing what they are doing, nor how on earth they have got away with it all so long. They are driven by an influence/force/power they have both been programmed not to be able to even identify, never mind resist.

    In the case of Brown.

    Having the responsibility of a embattled field marshal, while possessing the actual power over the battle plan as a recently promoted lance corporal, the intellectual capacity of an illiterate bin-man, and the voter appeal of a later day grave-robber. While constantly having to wait for further instructions from WAY WAY WAY above your head, is a very uncomfortable position to be in for a protracted period of time.

    Therefore as Jesus Emmanuel was reported to have once said, under a similar situation to that facing much of common humanity today.

    “Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.”

    I got one of GMTV’s writers to pen that sickening apology for Derek. Did you like it? Did he get it right? Will everyone love him now? Is he still a prize pillock?

    Derek Draper said: “I made clear to the BACP Appeal Panel my deep regret over the political email scandal I was involved in and apologise to my fellow BACP members and the general public for what was, undoubtedly, a stupid mistake”

    He has apologised to “BACP members” and “the general public” – how about the people at the target end of the venom?

    This does not appear to be an apology at all, just a carefully crated statement

    I went round to my brother’s house last night and he’s got a new dog. He said to me “this dog is incredible. Every time Liverpool lose, he lies down. Everytime they draw he sits up”. I was impressed and asked “what does he do when Liverpool win?” “I don’t know” replied my brother “I’ve only had him 6 weeks”.

    O/T, are some politicians actually starting to get it?

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/nov/24/tory-parliament-mps-sit-august

    A new Conservative government may keep parliament sitting through next August in an attempt to show its determination to implement its manifesto commitments…

    Working through the summer would also show the willingness of the Cameron government to make personal sacrifices as it asks Britain to take some very tough medicine, including public sector pay freezes and job losses.

    With MPs’ standing at an all-time low, largely owing to the expenses scandal, the shadow cabinet is aware that extraordinary steps have to be taken to restore trust. It would also be taken as a dramatic symbol of the Tory slogan “we are all in this together”.

    That blundering competent, Mr Bob Aintworthatoss, seeks to explain falling public support for this wretched Government’s little adventure in Afghanistan by blaming it on America:

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/6646179/Bob-Ainsworth-criticises-Barack-Obama-over-Afghanistan.html

    How embarrassing that this nobody seeks to excuse our disgust with their pitiful and utterly inept conduct by trying to place the blame on our NATO partner. How bad does it have to get before this loathesome shower of sh*t is sent packing?

    I will lead with this gag at PMQ’s

    I called round to see my Scottish friend, Gorodn Brown to find he was stripping the wallpaper from the walls. Rather obviously, I remarked “You’re decorating, I see.” to which Gordon Brown replied “No. I’m moving house.”

    To hell with Draper. He will soon be forgotten about.

    Let’s discuss the £61.6 bn loan to two private companies, RBS and Lloyd’s.
    Our Govt colluded with the B of E in breaking the law.

    End of.

    Now James Gordon Brown, unelected PM, perhaps you would like to comment?

      Agreed, the likes of Draper are not worth even a sentence, never mind yet another thread Guido. He’s history, just another little NuLiebour prat amongst an overflowing sewer of such creatures. Let’s address the rather more serious matters such as our collapsed economy, an illegal war and another that is un-winnable, the mendacity and thieving of our MPs, the West Lothian question, our startling loss of liberty, the incompetence of the Opposition to hold this lot to (effective) account, record and crippling taxation – anything but this sad little jerk.

    Last one before PMQ’s

    A penguin is driving along one day, and his car starts to splutter, and eventually breaks down.
    The penguin waddles into the mechanics, and while he is waiting for his car to be fixed, goes to get an ice-cream.
    Unfortunately he is a very messy eater, and gets it all over his face. He waddles back into the mechanics, and the man says “It looks like you’ve blown a seal.” The penguin replies, “No it’s only ice-cream.”

      A sales rep is driving along one day, and his car starts to splutter, and eventually breaks down.

      he gets out, lifts the bonnet and scratches his head. Suddenly he hears avoice saying “The coil lead is loose, clip it back on”.

      he looks around and sees 2 horses in the field next to him. “looking at the horses he asks “Are you talikng to me?”

      “yes” says the brown horse “clip the coil lead back on”

      The man looks at the engine, sees the problem, fixes it, mumbles his thanks and heads off to the nearest pub.

      “Double Scotch please”
      “You look like you have seen a ghost”
      “not quite, my car broke down and a horse told me how to fix it”
      “I’ll bet the horse was brown”
      “How did you know that?”
      “The white one knows fuck all about engines”

    News just in on Sky says teaching children about domestic violence will form part of the syllabus next year. Yet another non-subject to pad the syllabus out with. This is just another subject that would be better dealt with via TV infomercials. The way things are going it’s hardly surprising our schools are turning out illiterate, innumerate no-hopers who have to take further courses just to flip burgers. Kids in shitty, backward African countries are better taught than ours under Nu Labour.

      Think once, think twice, think don’t smack your missus in the teeth.

      Pitiful labour wankucation.

      Here’s a thought: ladies, if you don’t want to get smacked around, don’t choose to go out with thuggish gangster wannabes? Just an idea. See that girl who got acid thrown in her face? She met the guy, thought he was a bit scary, which she thought was jussssst great. And guess what? He *looked* like a psycho nutter, and he *was* a psycho nutter.

      All around my town I see deadbeat wrinkle-foreheaded scrote thugs wandering the streets at all hours, willing underage girls in tow. Here’s the inconvenient truth – domestic violence? It’s women’s fault.

    Brown is quite correct about drawing a line under things and getting on with the job, that is what Maggy did without actually saying it directly

    The Right need to stop whining about the Left, a bunch of toss pot teachers, lawyers, academic and trade unionists, fuck the climate change lobby and buy a Range Rover.

    We need a Tory Government who will triple decimate the public sector and restore the link between work and wages.

    Did Derek go to the CRU at the University of East Anglia?

    The CRU is a disgrace to British Science – its whole approach of cover-up and fiddling the figures must make its founder, H.H. Lamb, turn in his grave.

    Lamb’s book on Climate history is worth reading as an antidote to the CRU’s hype which is egged on by its present boss.
