Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
LABOUR FIRST OF COURSE
Labour, first to bankrupt England
Obviously, we did this from a position of strength”
How come there are only 6 in the Tory G8?
I so would Merkel
Oh matron!
Did you see Jaqui Smith getting interviewd earlier, with her new ‘make over’ she is the absolute doulbe of Myra Hindley.
Keep your children close people.

Odds on Brown’s successor
Woolas 4-1
McNulty 11-2
Cooper 7-1
Harman 10-1
Harold Shipman 50-1
Miliband 100-1/bar
Woolass 4-1 …. OMG …you can not be serious
That would be hilarious. He’s God’s gift to the B- N – P.
Charles Clarke at 100/1: surely that’s worth a few bob?????
No theres 8
Where’s Spain?
They are NOT in the G8, G20 or the G20+ so they are not in the pic!
Gordon Brown and all other fuckwits must still be wondering why?
Iberian Peninsular
Brilliant phot stunt….
There are 8 … count the number of “chicken legs” on the right
You count like a labour Chancellor.
There are 10 people in that shot. But only 8 of the visible people are clearly in the race. Three to the left, Gordon at the back, another four to the right of Gordon and two holding the banner.
Both banner holders are mostly hidden, but parts of them can still be seen from that picture.
The Junior G8 is so much more attractive though. Especially Brazil’s Mayora Tavares
http://www.daylife.com/photo/019s7mY4qa4Sn?q=G8
I count 8 – with no GCE’s – You can use both hands!! The G20 would mean you use your toes as well.
Don’t forget Gordon at the back struggling with Our Debt.
there’s eight, you innumerate twat!
You’re right.
I can see pieces of eight.
Aaaaar, Jim Lad
There “are” eight, you illiterate twat
Language sounds about right for a Labour educated young person.
LABOUR: FIRST INTO THE RECESSION, FIRST TO LAY THE BLAME ELSEWHERE.
Not a problem – we are well placed to weather the storm……..
His exact words were “we are uniquely placed” now we understand just what he really meant.
You forgot the last bit:
LABOUR: FIRST INTO THE RECESSION, FIRST TO LAY THE BLAME ELSEWHERE – LAST OUT OF THE RECESSION.
I suppose you can dream.
I had a jewel swell up like that once. Took weeks of penicillin to get it sorted.

Then boil it down some more.
Go back to your constituency…..and prepare for defeat!
Maye the Conservatives could not scrounge up enough people to represent the G20?
I’m surprised they had a black bloke to wear the Obumma Mask.

I would rather get a check-up from Harold Shipman thanks.
Tory Prats, as usual too little work to do for too much money so can afford to waste time in the middle of the day.
Jealous ?
Hardly the cutting Blog where “You are either in front of Guido, or you are behind…”
When all it can debate is a Tory Party knobbly Knees contest.
I Guess we are all in front of Guido and he is behind.
That’s a bloody good photo stunt. Nice work. And First.
Undoubtedly we’re in such a godawful situation in this country thanks to Brown and his bastard party…
BUT, why weren’t the other parties screaming the house down over the years as the mother of all clusterfucked-up economies was created?
They, along with the BBC and rest of the MSM, with very few exceptions, are complicit in Brown’s legacy.
So basically you are saying that everyone is to blame. That’s useful to know.
I liked the bankers & co blaming lack of fiscal control for what they did.
Like me blaming the police for not arresting me sooner if I let of an automatic weapon.
Just lame.
Stunt politics.
As if their message wasn’t strong enough to start with.
Labour are just a bunch of cupid stunts
Hey, that’s Kenny Everett’s line!
Does it go through Covent Garden?
They were Tories in the photograph.Doh
I reckon Spain will win.
Nicely done CCHQ, I likes it. Stuff like this will reach more people far more effectively than worthy speeches and dead tree column inches.
Bottler brown anyone?
I agree CCHQ should organise more stunts like this. It makes it look like the Conservatives are a load of twats.
It reminds me of the sort of thing that Kelvin Mckenzie used to organise (remember the News Bunny?)
No it won’t a load of rubbish.
You should have paid attention at school.
As The Great Leader said, “Britain is best prepared to tackle this Global recession, Britain leads the world in the recovery from the Global recession, Britain will spend it’s way out of this Global recession, I have ended boom and bust….. “
I see the Pound is down against the dollar, again!! The markets are down, again…. !!
CCHQ have always been twats.
They certainly don’t have the debt that the Labour Party HQ has. Who will go bust quickest? The Country or the Labour Party? I think it will actually be………………. Labour.
Happy Days!
Probably
I think that is why they will go for a slightly earlier election in February or March. I don’t think that they can afford to hang on until May.
You are bang on the money sir!
They want to see a short bounce from this speech, theoritically everyone will be on a high during christmas and won’t have to face up to the reality of paying it off just yet.
Factor the feel good factor plus labour a few points behind the tories they will take the gamble as it is the best hand of cards they will be dealt.
If they hold on any longer, we will lose the AAA, IMF will come knocking, riots will happen all on their watch it will finish their political credibility forever.
My money is on February
Thank fuck
There will not be riots. when’s the last time the British people rioted over something? Mrs T and the poll tax? Brown is obviously not as bad as her so the poeple don’t riot!
The difference is that the people fucked off by this government are generally the educated who can see through the charades and the lies. Those with time on their hands are generally law abiding and wouldn’t want to riot – lest they be accused of being terr’ists.
The working class hatred of Thatcher was a different story.
I’m inclined to go with February, with the election called just as everyone returns from a happy Christmas, but before the credit card bills need to be paid and hopefully before the IMF come knocking..
Liebour have very little money left to fight the campaign – like party, like country it seems…
I concur with the opinion that there will be no riots. But if Cameron gets in then I predict riots within two years.
Zacaroo, undoubtedly so – as the lazy fuckers get told they can’t live forever and have the working part of the population pay the bill for them!!
I’m hearing rumours that Brown has been pencilled in for live TV DEBATE Tuesday 18th May 2010
Brixjack: Maybe this is a publicity stunt you would approve of with Champagne Labour.

That’s a proper mental website. Surely the British right aren’t going as mental as the US right?
Knob
So your flat-earth thinking extends to cognitive dissonance over the reality that Mandelson is as much as a cock-sucking toff as the elite tories you hate?
It leads you into a state of denial.
Who is a denier now???
How many millionaires are there on the labour benches now? When the poor have become poorer?
Labour are an utter disgrace to this country, themselves and their heritage. They piss on their core supporters and tell them it is raining!
It all looks like fair comment.
Factual reporting and nothing incendiary.
It is a legitimate news story if Muslims routinely block Paris streets by praying in the open every Friday, holding up the traffic and interfering with resident’s privacy and access to their own homes.
Provocative isn’t in it.
Since when did Guido give up with fun rumour & gossip and just trun out CCHQ publicity photos.
Last good story that Guido broke anyone?
Well done. Your monthly stipend is on it’s way.
Keep up the good work.
Just remember its always worse under the Tories. (So Ally tells me!)
I remember a few years ago he did something about ‘Loans for Lordships’.
Or was that the Daily Telegraph. I forget..
The Dead Tree Press has certainly had a better year of it than Guido.
apart from outing McBride and Draper that is
There was that scoop that broke me….
Go somewhere else then you miserable wanker
What would finish these fuckers off, would be if the FSB organised a tax payment strike by all its members.
and see the tax man prosecute all of them?
HAHAHA – excellent stuff – needed cheering up after that totally irresponsible PBR.
Buying core votes – WTF
Bingo players – says it all.
They are trying to scupper the Sun Bingo fun. Or are they trying to woo the Sun Back?
My head hurts after trying to work out if Investment is so very good. Why don’t we just double it, and to hell with any consequences.
Going for a lie down.
said the sex offender.
You just stick to your new animal farm. You really do like unnatural sex now don’t you? Hope you still keep it safe. Don’t want you getting swine flu, sars, or bse.
the sex offender went on to say.
What are you about to say tat dear? Spit it out
At least he won’t go near the goats. Not after the last time…
Indeed. and the BBC are playing that as “very popular!” With WHO FFS?
What it tells me is that Labour have completely given up on every sector of society except for old women in the North east that play bingo and vote labour because it’s what their dads did!
I mean, CUTTING taxes for bingo players? What do those people do to deserve being placed ahead of all the other sectors of society who are taking a severe kicking?
What special case can be made for increasing public spending when we are facing 200Bn of public sector debt this year?
This was just loads more shite from labour!
We are world leading Bingoisters.
Bingo world cup winners.
World Class Bingo=UK
British Bingo for British workers.
There’s even a biscuit called Bingo
We’ve all gone Bingo mad
The BBC feel that this is a very good PBR statement and that once again it is Darling and Brown taking the tough decisions on the UK economy!!
Thank God at least we’ve been spared Pestons’s “pearls of wisdom”(so far at any rate!)
Tuesday Newsnight, Fiona Millar introduced as special advisor to Cherry Blair, (who takes a special interest in schools,) then has a go at Toby Young for keep bringing up ‘Cherry’ the first time he mentions her FFS!
Why are we paying all these appearance fees to hangers on from the old days? (I am sick of seeing Red Ken on my TV at my expense.)
Ed Vazey should pull his finger out, in the running for the most ineffectual shadow minister.
Why has no one found the opportunity and the words to start getting the BBC bias as the story, Auntie must have as many enemies as Alky Aida
Miss Germany looks more like Polly Toynbee than Angular Merkel…
Mr Germany then?
Did the hairy armpits give the game away?
That, and the hairy, manly thighs.
These ARE German women you know.
Nice one.
Did the climategate people study Brown’s method of accounting?
Browns method of accounting = We are not accountable for anything.
Mmmm I might switch back to Mrs Dale – this guy seems to be losing the plot himself.
How about a trougher of the year contest, G-ee-haven’t we done well for ourselves (open to all parties), see how many turn out for that dressed in piggy costumes.
Frank Bruno’s former coach has been sacked from his job in the bathroom section of B & Q.

“”
Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda management have so far failed to produce an agreement.
The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% next January from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.
The suicide bombers’ union, the British Organisation of Occupational Martyrs (or B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action. General secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, “Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of jihad. We don’t ask for much in return but to be treated like this by management is a kick in the teeth.”
Mr Amir accepted the limited availability of virgins but pointed out that the cutbacks were expected to be borne entirely by the workforce and not by management. “Last Christmas Abu Hamza alone was awarded an annual bonus of 250,000 virgins,” complains Amir. “And you can be sure they’ll all be pretty ones too. How can Al Qaeda afford that for members of the management but not 72 for the people who do the real work?”
Speaking from the shed in the West Midlands where he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained,
“We sympathise with our workers’ concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day jihad, in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It’s a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I don’t like cutting wages but I’d hate to have to tell 3,000 of my staff that they won’t be able to blow themselves up.” He defended management bonuses by claiming these were necessary to attract good fanatical clerics. “How am I supposed to attract the best people if I can’t compete with the private sector?” asked Mr. Bin-Laden.
Talks broke down this morning after management’s last-ditch proposal of a virgin-sharing scheme was rejected outright after a failure to agree on orifice allocation quotas. One virgin, who refused to be named, was quoted as saying “I’ll be buggered if I’m agreeing to anything like that……..it’s too much of a mouthful to swallow”.
Unless some sort of agreement is reached over the weekend, suicide bombers will down explosives at midday on Monday. Most branches are supporting the strike. Only the North London branch, which has a different union, is likely to continue working. However, some members of that branch will only be using waist-down explosives in order to express solidarity with their striking brethren
LOOOOOOOL should be in private eye.
Nicely done, Hamish. A good titter!

Muslim hotel row case dismissed
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/8404212.stm
Bet that fucked the beeb off!
Sure did. The BBC Headline yesterday was a Factual Certainty.
Muslim woman ‘abused’ over dress by Christian hotelier
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/8401685.stm
No doubt the BBC will not be apologising to the Christian hotelier.
Excellent……. that woman who complained is a right minger and a sandwich short of a picnic!!
Under The Great Leader and his Gov’t. it is Thought and Hate Crimes that will be fully investigated and punished, so long as they are, allegedly, committed by white, males, heterosexuals or Christians !!
Both sides are obviosuly mental. Christianity is mental, Islam is mental. Rationality here we come!
Trusting Labour is very mental….
Probably! But then again at leats we knwo they exist, unlike this bollocks taht those three are spouting!
I would be interested to find out just how much this vexatious litigation has cost the taxpayer. They should award costs against the moron who made the allegation.
To Anonymous.
Nice one,common sense prevailed.
OT,talking about Merseyside,heard one this afternoon,I think it was a merseyside prison who dicovered a prisoner had grown a four foot cannabis plant in his cell and said it was a christmas tree,must have been growing a while.
Prison staff eventually became suspicious and sent some for analysis,I reckon that it’s bloody bad if you cant spot whats not a christmas tree,report was on Merseyside radio about 3pm.
did the idiots not wonder how he got a christmas tree inside the jail even if it was a christmas tree.
Don’t ask what he was using for errr manure….
It was sentenced to 23 years hard growing for dropping it’s pine needles in a place liable to cause harm to one- eyed lesbian muslim terrorists who have their rights you know.
Gordon Kong the wild raging monster needs to be shot down by the air planes quick sharp he’s making a mess shitting all over the city towers.
FUCKING GORDON BROWN!
THE MARKETS HAVE JUST CRASHED THE EXCHANGE RATES ARE KILLING ME.
THEIR GOES MY EBAY BUSINESS.
Obviously not dictionairies or lower case keyboards
Mr Gonzo — to quote the late, great Ivor Cutler, “There’s always someone worse off than you.”
‘Dictionairies’?
What are dictionairies?
Brown’s new one-liners (thanks to his new scriptwriters) at PMQs were going down like lead balloons. It’s the way you tell em!
Also, Spain is considered part of the G20 because they’ve been invited to a few conferences? My nan has been to a couple of Buckingham Palace garden parties. Does that make her a royal now?
It was pathetic.
His DNA does not allow him to say ‘sorry’.
Instead says they are in the G20 because they came to a meeting.
Hope Wales do well in the World Cup in South Africa- Toshack is going to watch, so technically they are in the World Cup
Spain are not members of the G20 or the G20+.
The Netherlands and Ethiopia were also invited to the G20 summit. Does that make them members too?
Brown is a retarded, fuckwit who makes George Bush appear competent by comparison!
Osbourne mentioned that we were the last out of ression in the G20 today, I bet the ugly ponce whinced inside as a little more of the human biology in his fat lardie body turned to poison, as happens every time he gets it in the neck.
: he knows he’s lying alright, and he hates it being shown back at him because his warped fuck of a mind can’t admit that it’s wrong. I’m glad that the mention of G20 and Spain together will forever make him whince. Folk should mention them whenever they are in his presence.
G20 Spain G20 Spain G20 Spain G20 Spain G20 Spain G20 . . .
But Spain are not in the G20
Get this:
Alistair Darling surprisingly announced a cut in bingo tax from 22 to 20% this afternoon. I imagine bingo go’ers around the country are applauding.
But dig beneath the surface and you can see how blatant the electioneering here is.
Bingo tax was only raised from 15% to 22% in May!!!
So in May Labour add 7% to bingo tax and then expect plaudits for taking 2% back off a couple of months later.
WTF?!?!?!?!?
its called deceit.
by de seat of is pants
Have you read the small print? “Pictorial” number-calling has now been banned, and must be replaced by non-pictorial number-calling. Thus now we have:
22, key of the door
Legs 73
Lucky for some, 12
Two fat ladies, 5
etc. The idea is to fuse the cerebral circuits of anyone left in the north-east who is remotely numerate.
factor in the lack of patronage because of the smoking ban and some dopey comment about deckchairs springs to mind…
Any more comments like that and I’ll bring back the 10p tax rate
At last New Labour has faced up to the frightening economic situation we now find ourselves in with….Bingo tax! and the caller is Alastair Darling, £88 billion- two fat ladies, number 1- Mandelsons bum, number 10- keep taking the medication, number 11- all good children go to heaven.
Can you actually prove that, or have all documents been shredded for good measure?
I simply refuse to believe that in the worst downturn in everything economy wise in peace time years, a Chancellor would re-adjust a fiddly little tax so soon by so little, and not get jumped on by the opposition. It simply can’t happen. Are the Tories researchers totally comprised of spouses and partners?
Reducing the chocolate ration then the next day reporting ‘spontaneous demonstrations’ in support of the increase?
Rejoice, citizens!
Nothing like shoring up the core vote is there. It’s the right thing to do, especially when it’s tax payer’s money.
Where’s Spain?
In sneck
Snot……snit’s in Europe, silly bunt !
The Tory Party has a Rag Week now?
They were always bastards of course, but at least they used to be grown-ups
Must be that time of the month.
Whereas Labour were always bastards too but have never grown up.
Consider this:
Alistair Darling surprisingly announced a cut in bingo tax from 22 to 20% this afternoon. I imagine bingo go’ers around the country are applauding.

You clearly have a stammer……….
That’s easy for you to say…………
This Bingo Tax thingy is all about putting things right.
Unlike other gambling companies, bingo operators pay both 15pc gross profits tax and 15pc VAT. Betting shop, casino and football pools operators pay no VAT. The sole exception is the VAT payable on poker in casinos, but those games do not attract betting duty.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/budget/5195359/Budget-2009-Treasury-must-come-clean-on-bingo-tax-say-operators.html
“Putting things right”
Is that like “finishing the work”?
John McFall should appear with the caption ‘government mouthpiece’
Ditto Harman. Only with ‘ringpiece’

The only reason I smoke a pipe is so I can say to the fit brunette that works in the tobacconist, “Can I have some dark shag?”
One of these days she’ll notice the bulge in my trousers, then its going to be game over.
no no, the reason you smoke a crackpipe is because you are a crackhead.
Dear we have been through this again and again, stop projecting your own flaws onto other people. It is very very rude and you will not get supper if you do not behave.

We are going to lock you in your new Animal Farm. You are projecting on people again. That substance abuse really fried your neural pathways.

You’re not alone.
Has anyone heard anymore of the Copenhagen Climate Change jamboree – the bbc haven’t said a word all day
All went up in a puff of smoke……..
Because there has been a big bust up between the developing nations. Negotiations put on hold until a protocol introduced by an African nation (I think) is examined.
That is all I get from a very quick shuffle through the headlines.
It seems to be falling apart at the seems.
Sorry, my bad, not Africa. Tuvalu. They think that they will be sunk by rising seas, even though the beaches there show much higher sea-levels existed years ago.
They are after a HUGE payout for the effects of climate change. (although sea levels on Tuvalu have NOT increased at all in decades)
Proof? anywhere. Flat-earth idiot
Tuvalu is a set of Atolls. It has been sinking for years. It is made of a big mound of coral that compacts and sits on top of a ex-volcano.
The reason it is so low lying is that it is formed by the sea. Each time there is a storm the seas wash over the edges of the coral platform a new lot of coral. This has been happening for many many years. That is why there is a windward side and a leeward side to a Atoll and why the highest ground is around the edge.
So what will happen if the sea level rises? The first storm will add back the necessary coral.
Only one problem the LOCALS have built concrete and tarmac roads around the edges of the islands. They have built tarmac runways and compacted the underlying coral. They have built hotels and houses and numerous other fixed structures.
The issue is the new coral can not “stick” or “velcro” itself to the old layers and gets brushed or blown off. So the island is doomed anyway, even if the sea does not rise. That is why they already have a problem, yet the high tide sea levels have been falling for the last 5 years or more (Natural planet/moon cycles)
‘ Flat earth idiot ‘
You are a bell end! Brixjac.
Read your earlier post ‘ Brown not as bad as Thatcher ‘
You are a pus filled bell end!
Aren’t they satisfied with all the money they get from flogging their .tv domain name to tv companies and others all over the planet?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8403745.stm
Priceless.
Several (Countries) re-iterated the demand of small island developing states that the rise in the global average temperature be limited to 1.5C, and greenhouse gas concentrations stabilised at 350 parts per million (ppm) rather than the 450ppm favoured by developed countries and some major developing nations.
So Copenhagen will sign an agreement which binds the world to limiting temperature rises to 1.5 C?
Long Live King Cnut.! His memory lives on.
I want it warmer. Can’t afford the heating on. Never mind, those blokes in the tropics will milk us dry, because we have tormented protestant death wish consciences.

Your fucking shit!
Perhaps it’s been held up by a snowstorm.
Met Office claim of the worst 10 years since 1860 has been used to show the quality (NOT) of the CRU fudged data.
They claim the worst decade since records began in 1860.
Only one problem there is no site record for the UK that covers from 1860 to the present day. There are only 4 sites that cover from 1890 to today but none of them are in England or Wales. Also each of the 4 UK sites are all on the coast. Since coastal towns have mild water dependant temperatures they do not represent the actual UK land mass. There are even no neighbour sites that can be reasonably approximated.
So for the country that was probably leading the world in industry and technology in the 1800s we seem to have a shortage of sites that are actually viable for long term reference. So how good is the rest of the world at measuring temperatures before 1900?
So this new tax is only on discretionary bonuses i.e. contractual bonuses are exempt? And the employer pays, not the employee.
The BBC seem to think this is hitting bankers. Why are they so confused……?
Delay receipt of bonus for 12 months and avoid the tax…. simples !!
Apparently not:
“However, banks will not be able to avoid the taxes by deferring bonuses until after April 2010, when the temporary measure ends.
The Treasury says that bonuses promised or paid for work done in 2009 are liable to be taxed.”
Double bonus in 2011 instead?
Bonuses paid per deal, instead of in one lump. There will not be a single bonus paid over 25,000, just lots of smaller ones, paid in shares, that can be transferred almost instantly through other compliant dealers and overseas traders into lovely CASH!
Result. Perfectly legal and acceptable. This isn’t about the bonus payments or the tax revenue. It is cynical Electioneering. I would have done exactly the same.
Bonuses normally get paid in mid-March any way. So they’ll just defer them for a whole three weeks till 7th April 2010. New tax year. Job done.
Does Darling really think that the bankers won’t find a way around this – these are the guys who spend millions every year on tax advice – the loopholes will be massive (they always are) and exploited to the full.
Pure electioneering, like the new 50% tax rate, and will achieve no revenue but let everyone know that they are bashing the nasty greedy parasitical horrible etc etc bankers
Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown has made a speech outlining plans for more efficient and smarter government.
Gordon Brown said that power must shift to users of public services and set out measures including cutting the senior civil service pay bill by 20 per cent, halving government spending on consultants, merging or abolishing 123 government arms length bodies – with greater oversight for the remainder – and relocation of more staff outside London and the South East.
At a time when budgets are tighter, we must be relentless in finding new ways to save money to protect front line services. Today’s announcements show that Labour are willing to take the tough decisions needed.
Labour Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, said:
“As the country emerges from recession, taxpayers want more than ever to see their contributions used in the same way they manage their own finances: by getting maximum value for money. When money is tight, families look at what they need, tighten their belts and put off those things they can do without. And government will do the same.
“Before 1997 successive governments skimped on the investment that our public services depend on, and became complacent about the quality of the services they provided to the public. Since then, this historic under-investment has been corrected and what were once seen as ambitious goals are increasingly seen as the norm…For example, today if you need to see a consultant as an out-patient your wait for treatment is on average just over 4 weeks. In 1997 it was over 13 weeks.
“The proposals we are setting out in this plan – which is just one element of our plan to reduce the deficit – will go further than we have ever gone before in streamlining central government. We have already promised savings of £35 billion a year by 2011 on top of the £26.5bn a year already delivered through the Gershon review. But by identifying new ways of working – and being prepared to make the tough choices – we can deliver in excess of another £12bn in efficiency savings over the next four years. This includes £3bn of new efficiency savings identified since the Budget”
FUCK OFF YOU WARMONGERING C’UNT.
Anger Management DVD still in the cellophane?
This comment will look odd when comment 98 is consigned to the dustbin along with all the other posts by these deluded fools
One small problem with that, labour have NEVER given value for money. That is why GP’s now cost us twice the money for far less service. I used to be able to get a doctor to come out to visit me on the day I was ill.
Now I have to know in advance that I will be ill and book inside 48 hours to travel to the surgery. Consequently I have been ill several times and not been able to see a doctor until I was better.
I got better NHS treatment under the tories. I am NOT saying that the whole NHS is worse now than then, but we do pay far more for it, and many parts of it are worse, we still have the worst cancer rates in Europe, and we do NOT get value for money.
Obviously some parts of the NHS have improved. With massively increased funding and improving technology and advancing medical breakthroughs it SHOULD be a lot better than it was. In fact it should be more than twice as good as it was, across the board. But it’s not! Not even close!
We definitely get a worse service per pound spent on it that we did under the tories.
Certainly the service I, and many people I know, have received from the NHS is significantly worse now, than a few years ago. Fewer services available, from breast cancer screening, which used to be at the local general hospital, and now it is at a hospital 50 miles away and takes over an hour by car to get to.
The E.N.T clinic used to be daily and is now once every two weeks!
HOW THE FUCK is that value for money?
Fabian, thou art truly a twat!
this must be the most boring post ever.
hahahahahaha….. you are on the ball today tat, no liquid lunch?
We gave him peanut butter sandwiches today, he has been full of beans ever since.
The Tories have once again shown they are the party of the few and Labour are the party of the many:

David Cameron’s £5,000-a-toff bash at Blenheim Palace
Source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/12/06/david-cameron-s-5-000-a-toff-bash-at-blenheim-palace-115875-21876015/
David Cameron staged a £5,000-a-head Tory fundraising bash in the sumptuous surroundings of Blenheim Palace.
The disclosure will come as a major embarrassment to the Tory leader, who spent last week trying to shake off accusations he wants to run Britain with his Eton school chums.
He was star turn at the glitzy party, which raised up to £1million for the Party’s election war-chest.
More than 150 supporters attended the event at Blenheim, the Oxfordshire home of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
A source said: “You’d never think there was a recession on. The food and entertainment were amazing. There wasn’t much economic gloom around.”
Last night Labour MP Steve Pound said: “I’m sure David Cameron raised a princely sum. Doubtless, he will claim Blenheim is now the People’s Palace. But I wonder if there was anyone else on the guest list apart from dukes and duchesses?”
A senior Labour source added: “Yet again we see David Cameron and his high-rolling Eton chums enjoying themselves while others suffer. It’s a world away from the Britain he would like to represent.”
well f*ck me……. your source is The Mirror?? The Mirror?? next thing you will be telling me you have an Open University degree??
At least the Tories can raise some support and cash, I doubt you were moaning as much when Bliar was troughing around dishing out favours for cash??
Exactly! This was a FUNDRAISING party, most of the 5 grand a head will go into the election campaign rather than the champagne bill. That’s probably another million in the coffers to help kick the cnuts out at the election
Go away you troll.
I would, but your Labour mates have f*cked up the transport system, as well as everything else in this country !!
Labour is developing a modern, efficient, sustainable transport network in Britain, which balances the needs of the economy, the environment and individuals. This is backed by long-term planning, sustained long-term funding, and improved transport management.
For the first time in over half a century, there is a fully funded plan for rail which will allow for double today’s level of passengers and freight over the next 30 years. We are giving local authorities more powers to ensure that local transport meets the needs of local people, ensuring quality bus services and tackling congestion. And in addition, since April 2008, 11 million older and eligible disabled people have been entitled to free off-peak bus travel anywhere in England.
Britain is the first country in the world to have a target to limit aviation emissions. Much of the proposed expansion at Heathrow will only be allowed to go ahead on the condition that air quality noise and carbon emissions reductions are on track – the government will act on the advice of the Committee on Climate Change.
Long-term planning? Like they long-term planned for CO2 nuclear power stations you mean?
Thi government is long on announcements and short on delivery. Unless you consider delivering us with 1.4 trillion in debt an achievement.
“Labour is developing a modern, efficient, sustainable transport network in Britain, which balances the needs of the economy, the environment and individuals. This is backed by long-term planning, sustained long-term funding, and improved transport management.”

fabian, Can you point to one single bit of proof for that???
No? Of course not!
Fuck OFF!
A mill ?? A poxy mill ??
I used to raise that before breakfast for Tony B£iar.
Time was when folk used to spend that kind of money for a fund-raiser with the Labour PM.
Now only Americans spend that kind of money to listen to Blair. Brown can’t even sell peerages.
Really? Aren’t they included in the fire-sale (whatever happened to that)?
Your boys took a hell of a beating today eh? Isn’t it eh?
Only according to the Daily Mail!
‘Ring fence a black hole.’ Genius.
Suck don’t blow.
Said The Mirror reader !!
Think not.
Everyone apart from the Mirror reader and Bingo monthly
isn’t it eh!?
One hell of a beating!?
eh!
United Condom is totally f’cked, I mean totally, absolutely and completely!
The Beeb said at lunchtime that the state of the economy is:
‘worse than we thought’
LARF!!
I will warn you all again.
If you leave it too late the European Borders will get closed to you Brits and you will be stuck there!
how else do you think people raise election cash, they have to put on the ritz, you dumb git.
A senior Labour source added: Yet again we see David Cameron and his high-rolling Eton chums enjoying themselves while others suffer.
Think that says it all gormless, condemned out of his own mouth, “while others suffer”
Labour have been in power for the last 12+ years not the Conservatives, and fuck me ain’t we suffering.
“David Cameron’s £5,000-a-toff bash at Blenheim Palace”
you sound jealous that labour cannot attract the same.
Although when it comes to troughing and smoozing with the hyper rich elite, Mandleson does like sucking up to the Rothschilds doesn’t he?
Yeah that must do his working class credentials no end of harm.
Although the fuckwit labour supporters in the north east would probably still vote labour even if Brown and Mandy pulled a spitroast on an infant and then skullfucked it to death on live TV!
So much for working class camaraderie eh?
WE,of course, will be dining out on Nat Rothschild’s mega-yacht.
March 25th for the GE anyone.
I think that PBR set it in stone, can’t see it any later or Brown wanting another budget with horrors unfolding.
He could just do the same as today and lie through his teeth about the scale of the deficit.
I’m going for February 25th – 6 week campaign called before the credit card bills come in after Chrsitmas.
There’s no way he can go until the budget, and follwing announcements today of spending INCREASES next year, the IMF cannot be far from the door now.
oh, and Liebour are almost bank.rupt, if they leave it too late then they won’t even be able to fight the campaign.
Nope. I’m going for last possible date. And possibly a few years after that as well. National emergency – no time for novices – possible National government but Brown will remain in control.
The earliest possible election date willbe the last possible election date. Brown doesn’t have the balls and will hang on till the bitter end in the hope that the Tories willself-destruct and to give the BBC another six month run at them (the Tories)
There is always the chance of the Civil Contingenies Act being invoked, but does anyone seriously believe that this government want to cut spending??
I think there is a typo in the caption. Shouldn’t it read “Sarkozy must be the whiner”?
Wonder Sarko is 10 times smarter than anybody currently in government in the United Condom!
The French have a Finance Minister that can count.
1 times 1 equals 1
That sort of thing!
Isn’t it!
Let’s face it
Sarko makes Brown and Cameroom look like pygmys!
Stephanie the BBC economics girl was quite generous about Darlin’s figures wasn’t she? I thought she did jolly good not blurting out ‘They’re a load of shit’.
So six months ago Darling projects a contraction of 3.5% this year and he’s going to need to borrow 175bn quid. Six months later that contraction has gone up by 1.25% of GDP (about 40bn quid) but the defict figure only went up by 3bn quid.
40bn less economic activity results in only a 3bn quid shortfall in his deficit. No fucking way.
The little liar.
What the electorate fail to realise is that when we lose our triple A rating, the cost of servicing this huge debt is going to increase at a faster rate than we will be able to cope with, regardless of whether the economy is growing. That’ll be time to sell up and move overseas.
Anti Aircraft Artillary will stop you flying out, just like the old days, take your Passport to the bank so they can fill in the back page with how much £ you can take out of the country.
I believe the official figure a couple of weeks ago was that we have already reached 200BN so the Chancellor’s figures are complete cloud cuckoo land!
I don’t think we’re at 200bn already this financial year but there is no way that with an additional fall in GDP of 1.25% (40bn quid) that we could ‘only’ be another 175bn quid over budget. Not a fucking hope.
It’s a lie. A big fat lie to keep the credit ratings agencies on-side until they can unload the truly dire shit-pot onto the Tories and start shrieking and swooning from the cheap seats.
Boring David Cameron makes life hard for Rory Bremner
By Kevin Maguire 8/12/2009
TV impressionist Rory Bremner yesterday admitted that David Cameron is so bland it’s difficult to make him interesting for viewers.
Source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/columnists/maguire/2009/12/08/boring-david-cameron-makes-life-hard-for-rory-bremner-115875-21883141/
Tis true. Compared to Cameron Brown is an endless source of comedy mirth. Physical and intellectual comedy gold.
Hardly a ringing endorsement – ‘Hey, our guys easier to take the pi*s out of than Cameron’ is it though?
Source… Daily Mirror about an impressionist?, get a fucking life.
Your PBR is shown up for what is – useless.
All you are left with is a pathetic Mirror story
Busted flush, desperate.
Bremner is so crap anyway, who cares, well past his sell by date.
A nation mourns.
Is that Buster Gonad Broon at the back of these chumps?
Read this article and think…
Do you really want to return to the bad old days of Tory sleaze?
What a cheesy bunch the Tories are…

Liar Jeffrey Archer’s penthouse lair resembled Jurassic Park these past two nights.
Tory dinosaurs glugged the former jailbird’s Krug and scoffed his shepherd’s pie.
Thatchosaurus Maggie ruled as Lordly lizards Wakeham, Fowler and Mawhinney again behaved like big beasts.
My snout with the flute and china plate predicted young Cameronatops (who wisely stayed away) would lose 10 points if voters saw the clock turned back.
Archer’s buddies left with the ex-con’s usual gift of a giant cheddar in a box. What a cheesy bunch the Tories are.
No doubt you also crack one off to The Mirror??
Fuck off you arsehole.
What a pained metaphor.
Utterly shit Maguire. Most of your muppet readers would know a triceratops from a sponge.
What a jackass eh?
Trying to come over all intellectual.
Kevin Maguire is one of this country’s foremost and best-respected journalists, having previously been the Guardian’s Chief Reporter and now Associate Editor of the Mirror.
I wonder – what have you ever done with your life?
Don’t you mean laughing stock!!
Wow is he really Associate Editor of the Mirror?
Wow, how impressive. The pinnacle of his profession!
When I was a lad I dreamed of being the Associate Editor of the Mirror
Arrogant fuckwits.
Aye. Imagine getting vicarious pleasure from championing the deputy propagandist for Labour’s war and torture regime of financial incompetence.
Oops, looks like someone’s upset Maguire’s lefty bum chum. The bloke is a moron, as conclusively proved when he inanely grinned through HIGNFY the other week. Total idiot.
Failed to come out with anything remotely funny, just like Bob Crow.
Socialists are unfunny c*nts, even when they call themselves comedians.
The thing about Bob Crow was that although thoroughly unfunny he didn’t seem to mind folk taking the piss out of him a bit. Even when he attempted to have a go at Hislop over eating lobster.
Paul Merton didn’t seem to want to help him out much either.
Bob Crow seems perfectly happy when in his ‘Brothers and sister, ‘ow can it be rooooight…alter ego…’ Like Harman with her well practiced idiocies abot racism and sexism but utterly dead on her feet outside the small pretendy surreal world of minority politics.
Still not quite as bad as when Ann Widdecombe was on there.
Frigid Tory!
Things I don’t do with my life – tell lies to Labour voting morons to keep ‘em morons voting Labour.
Things I do with my life. Balance my budget.
Labour should give it a go instead of trying to run the country the way the majority of their fuckwitted voters run their lives. On borrowed money. Other people’s borrowed money.
‘I wonder what have you every done with your life’
Well I gambled my life on B Liars war in Iraq. Mind you, being a lick-spittle toady ‘journo’ for the Mirror is much more an honourable calling than fighting for you country.
God deliver us from these Labour scum.
Looks like the poor deluded Mackem is tired and gone for a rest……
He’s a fuckin’ Sand-dancer not a Mackem but the difference is minimal I’ll grant you.
Both Vaux drinking types, I’ll bet!!
Sounds just like an evening at Lord Myners’ house
You know, he was one of The Sherriff of Nottingham’s lot until he joined Robin Hood and his merry men – except that he stayed didnt move to the forest and kept his vast wealth rather than handing it over to the poor. But Robin didnt mind a little hypocrisy.
“Tory dinosaurs glugged the former jailbird’s Krug and scoffed his shepherd’s pie.”
That’s got to be an inuendo!
At least the Tories were fucking each other’s wives, rather than fucking the whole country!!
Perverts!
Lordie, Miss Claudie, Fawkes, why can’t you call it Conservative Campaign Headquarters or whatever lame-brained, broken-backed comic opera it is in all its full glory?
Who’s the In-Crowd, initialised jargon supposed to impress?
We have the most treacherous government the country has ever suffered and the best the in-cahoots Opposition can come up with is to is monkey around in vests, knickers and paper masks.
That’s the Andy Coulson, man of the people, slick media skills, paying dividends.
Think today represented a new low in terms of “re-writing” the truth. Everyone accepts Spain isn’t in the G20. However, Brown screws up and says they are. Thus history is re-written and they suddenly are. All to save the PM being embarrassed. Utterly ridiculous.
We’ve always been at war with Eurasia etc. Just unreal, the man really believes he is infallible.
he is,………. sorry I thought you said inflammable
When’s the next G20 meeting?
Wouldn’t it be great if the Spanish PM just turned up?
That would be funny if he’s stopped at the door by a security guard and protests “but Gordon Brown said I was allowed to come in!”
Dont know about debt being sign written on the ball , should be LIES , or perhaps they should have added one like from raiders if the lost paypacket, only this one squashes the ruin falt!!
More Gin, m’lady?
No more punch and judy politics, eh Dave?
dave looks a bit like punch though, doesn’t he?
and we both know you look like judy dear
said the tory troll.
get it right I’m a weirdo creepy stalker who ‘pleasures’ himself furiously to your every post Top Boy
no, you are definitely a tory troll.
yit’s funny, you think we are just joshing about, but as soon as I am close enough I will grab your head and bash your fucking brains out YOU SCUM FUCKING TORY C’UNT!

“A LABOUR MP I know once found himself, unexpectedly, in Peter Mandelson’s Hartlepool home.
Availing himself of our man in Brussels’ bathroom, the MP noticed five brushes lined up next to the sink – and couldn’t resist peeing on them all before giving the bunch a good shake and popping them back in the holder.
I was sworn to secrecy so cannot reveal the prankster’s name. The European commissioner remains close to Tony Blair, who would take a dim view.”

Maguire should be careful that Mandy bum does not decide to take him down a peg or two like he did to Draper.
Unexpectedly?
Was he passing and saw an open window?
The usual protocol is to stick them up one’s arse and take a photo with the owners camera.
Five toothbrushes? Who packs five toothbrushes?
I shouldn’t worry about pissing on ‘em. Anybody who packs five toothbrushes probably doesn’t use ‘em on their teeth anyway.
What a jolly jape , break out the polonium.
I use five at once.

“We take these decisions from a position of strength”. General Haig, ordering the infantry to walk towards the German guns, July 1st 1916.
Top man!
Kudos to George Osborne though for getting the full checklist in regarding the Labour government… ‘reckless….incompetent….criminal…’
‘Bout fucking time.
Loved the ‘Ring-fence a black hole’ quip too.
Poor old Darling having to earnestly read out that pile of shit. 100 million here, 300 million there. Don’t mention the cuts. Mustn’t mention the cuts.
And those figures. 178bn this year, 176bn next…. hahahahahaha.
And all the time Harman nodding like she was the Churchill dog on the back shelf of a Volvo.
Never been know to have been made to nod in the back of any other car!
HaHa
It might be as a result of whiplash from running into the back of parked cars. Mind you I’d have expected her head to have stopped rocking by now.
Or maybe she crashes into parked cars because her head is nodding.

I’m off to the USA in Spring – and taking the > 200k in income tax I pay with me. So long fuckers – see you in hell.

Wednesday night is blowjob night with Mandelson?
S-M-U-G, not S-L-U-G.
You’re right – couldn’t believe the smug look on his face. Incredible – yet still tribal labour-ites vote for him. I’m practising the smug look ready for ex-pat life.
A distraction from the new world government
The effect is slightly spoiled by having Michael Palin speaking the words of Mr Rumpy-Pumpy..
“Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition..!! ‘
That nodding from Hatemen can be the only reason that Jack Dromey has stayed married
She would filter the girls from the boys using her tongue?
I certainly showed those Eton boys who was boss today didn’t I, Sarah said ‘I was on fire’
Those young pretenders Cameron and Osborne certainly don’t like it up them do they.
Yours sincerely

Let’s not all blow a gasket eh? On a lighter note or heavy if your John Prescott!
What is everyone having for dinner?
I am having steak pie and potatoes and some carrots soon.
Why not have the carrots with the steak pie and spuds?
Sounds really exciting, haute cuisine anglais!
We managed to bag a DEFRA inspector the other week. He should have hung for long enough now so I’ll be looking forward to a nice joint of ‘long pork’ with roast potatoes and leeks.
Lord Fondlebum is reputedly very fond of mince and guacamole. Think it’s mostly the mince he goes for.
Clarissa Dixon-Wright, in her book ‘Game Cookery’ has a recipe entitled ‘Bollocks to Blair’.
To Engineer.
Yes wasn’t it Mandelscum who thought mushy peas were guacamole.
It was indeed – in a Hartlepool fish and chip shop, of all places. Bet they sell loads of guacamole in Hartlepool fish and chip shops!
My Nicky did so well today.

Just seen on ITV before the news, an advert promoting “The Policing Pledge” and telling us all that there are now more bobbies on the beat
AND FOR THE COST OF THAT ADVERT THEY COULD HAVE ANOTHER FUCKING BOBBY ON THE BEAT.
Why not just get on with the job of being the government, and stop telling us how fucking good you are all the time.
Dave, if you’re listening, no need for TV adverts from public money – I’m sure that’s a few hundred million more in savings already!!
and didn’t the gobby Nottingham MP John X ask the question in PMQ’s saying he had been out with the cops in Nottingham and out of 2,00o policemen on the books,there were just 14 out and about on the streets that night.
Brown – up against the wall – you are a dead man walking.
Sorry,mincing.
“Many public sector workers will be asking themselves whether it might be preferable to cut front-line services so that their pain is shared to some degree with the recipients of benefits and services.”
They only have a job because of the perceived need of the recipients of benefits and services!
Seems that the public sector unions shout against cuts to ‘frontline’ services. But if their members pay is threatened, stuff those who have a call on ‘frontline’ services.
Why am I not surprised?
Aye, you’ve got government and union C*unts poping up all over the place giving it that since the taxpayer supported every bank and banker indirectly last year then they’re entitled to a public sector payrise this year.
Okay c*nts, if that’s how you want to play it. How about every single fucking public sector worker has been 100% supported by the tax-payer since the beginning of time and now would be a fucking good time for you to start taking a little financial pain and helping the taxpayer out.
How d’ya like them onions? You c*nts.
Getting angry about public sector pay jgm2 ?
Nice post.
More swearing please.
Bugger. Fuck. Wank.
I thank you.
The rise in NI is utterly stupid. It is absolutely incomprehensible that Darling should have gone down that road. A crazy tax on jobs at a time when companies are desperate to cut costs and are laying off employees left, right and centre.
A very poor decision by Labour, and in the same category as the 10p tax band. This ignorant government have guaranteed that unemployment will rise faster than it would otherwise have done and will cause untold extra misery.
I think you are forgetting the generous reduction in Bingo Tax as part of the Zanu 10 year reconstruction plan.
Its simple really. Labour know the games up. They want to ensure that under the Tories interest rates have to rise unemployment goes through the roof and the IMF are called in (they have never got over calling them in themselves) This gives them lots to shout at the Tories about from the opposition benches.
It is a PBR for Labour but not for us.
I have finally thrown in the towel and taken an expat job. My tax will no longer fund this lunacy. I am sad in one way while knowing its this sort of development that will make the situation only worse. I have given up with Labour and all the lies. Hopefully they will thrown out at the GE but the damage is done.
Sorry…you were expecting sense from the NuMarxists? Does not compute.

Darling unveils Government-scrappage scheme
Under the scheme, due to begin in June, households may trade in their rusty, inefficient Governments that are over 10 years old, and receive a big tax break for doing so. In order to qualify, consumers must replace it with a nice, low-cost, shiny new Government. A spokesman for the National Consumer Council criticised the proposals on the grounds that there are not enough new Governments on the market that meet reasonable efficiency targets.
Read the small print.
Unfortunately your new shiny government will have a fraction of the power of the old government due to new European regulations.
All the benefits of the new cheaper to run government will be outweighed by having to buy top up powers from abroad.
The two yobs killed while escaping with ski jackets they had stolen were obliterated by a train which just happened to be travelling along…..the railway that these morons were driving along on quad bikes.
See the Daily Mail website for the illiterate message left by a yob friend and the shell suited yobs – of course,Brown MUST sack the train driver and offer counselling and free ski jackets to the deceased relatives – poor unfortunates.
Yeah We were held up for an hour on that train. Missed my lunch I did.
No fucking consideration for others some people.
So here I am,made redundant in the year Brown became the unelected PM,jobs in between and now looking for work.
And these utter c*unts start increasing the burden on businesses to hire more people like me.
Brown – drop dead with a very painful ailment you c*unt.
TFW, I feel very sorry for the many thousands of people like you in similar predicaments.
Make sure your children know about it, make sure their friends know about it, also your nieces, nephews and their friends.
Make sure that they all understand that the world has not always been like this and that they are just unlucky to be in a financial sow’s ear that Gordon Fucking Brown made out of a silk purse.
Make sure they understand that they must never allow another Communist, dictator, unelected, lunatic have any power over anything more responsible than cleaning a public lavatory.
I wanted to rip his fucking lungs out this afternoon, sitting their smirking in the HoC, as if he was being proven right. Only in his own ‘mind’ which is wildly deranged. Pure lunatic evil. He will spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder – if he does not, one of us will get him!
There were clues in Darling’s address today about property prices. I am now convinced that Brown is waiting for a property price bubble to rescue him. I am also convinced that that is the real reason for the crazy immigration rates – to drive up demand for houses, to inflate the economy, for him to spend wildly, knowing that it will all burst again and some responsible adults will have to pick up the tab.
A quick death is too good for this sorry excuse for a man.
One geezer stood up and shouted out some numbers,another geezer stood up and shouted,”Cnut”.
Other than that,what happened?
Anyone else hear Balls v Allen on five lies? Classic.
Allen got fed up with the spin and asked what the real cuts were and when they were coming. Balls accused him of being political and so Allen asked him again. Balls just trotted out the nasty Tory, IHT etc. Allen cut him short and they won’t exchanging Christmas cards
Mandy will be on the phone to the BBC pronto.
Well done Peter, wish there were more like you, not accepting the usual lies.
Don’t usually listen to Five Lies, thought it was just a Liebor Information Channel fronted by regular Scotchperson Eddie Meyer , didn’t realise they had any other points of view. Must have been some kind of editorial hicup
BREAKING NEWS
“A suspected Albanian gangster carrying a loaded pistol and silencer is held outside the home of ex-PM Tony Blair, police say.”
God bless all Albanians.
No problem, he is never there and his family all have Irish passports…….so who the f*ck cares??
Would save loads on the Iraq enquiry.
I thought our troops out in Afghanistan were supposed to make our streets safer
No one’ll ever find him. He’s more slippery than bin Laden
Haven’t our Bobbies got better things to do with their time? They should be out catching real villains rather than persecuting ethnic minorities trying to make a positive contribution to their adopted country.
You couldn’t make it up – wait ’til Littlejohn gets wind of this. No bloody justice left in this country any more. rant, mutter, I’m off daan tha boozer… bloody coppers, I dunno…
Has somebody hired a hitman to assassinate Blair?
Any ideas?
Over-run by a pack of ravenous hounds whilst out for a country stroll, then accidentally trodden, as they tried to rescue him, by the horses of the Huntsman, Whipper-in, several grooms, the Field Master, twenty-seven mounted followers and a passing Land-Rover. Fortunately, the hounds were unharmed.
Looks like I’m well and truly fucked after my earlier comments about hiring a hit man on the taxdous thread.
I would guess that there are any number of tasty geezers from the Balkans who would be only too happy to slot the lying bastard for free.
John Prescott?? and to think that this man vomited £4000 worth of my tax payers money every year and mounted ( how the f*ck did he do that? ) a secretary employed and paid for by my tax money…..

I hope that all those mugs who proclaim that Alistair Darling is “a decent, honest man” now realise just how wrong they were after that travesty of a PBR.
Darling is Brown’s lackey and another professional Labour liar.
To be fair though anyone would appear decent next to Brown.
They say only an outright French nationalist like De Gaulle could have given Algeria independence without tearing France apart. That was the opportunity Brown/Darling passed up this afternoon.
Nobody but a Labour/socialist government could have told the truth to the public sector without another reprise of the 1970s/1980s. But BRown doesn’t give a shit how hard he makes it for the Tories or for 60 million people. It’s all about power.
Continuing to pretend that there is no problem and that we can continue to fund one million extra box-tickers, bedwetters and bastards employed at enormous expense since 2001 without any significant cuts or tax-rises is pure nastiness. I wouldn’t care if Brown blamed the yanks and the banks and then used them as an excuse to actually make some ‘tough choices’ and ‘do the right thing’. But he wants to pretend that he’s not responsible for his economic clusterfuck and then go an and compound it with more fuckwittery.
He’s already got his scapegoats in position for the economic catastrophe and he still lacks the courage to use them as an excuse to make good on his earlier misjudgments. But does he take the opportunity? Fuck no. He’s all about poisoning the incoming Tory government. Passing legislation to commit them to halving the budget by 2014 or whenever.
Just so that he can attempt to reduce the Tory majority and shriek with faux concern about the ‘unnecessary’ cuts the Tories will be making. What a nasty, nasty bastard.
What a fucking arsehole. What an evil fucking arsehole.
Imagine if the Tories had put into law before losing power in 1997 that no future government could run deficits of oooooooh, I dunno, say 8%. Or total debt more than oooooooh, say 50% of GDP.
And Darling has gone ‘bush’ with the fucking Labour lies too. 178bn deficit.
Oh yeah? What happened to the other 50bn?
The way Brown was smirking and gurning while Darling was speaking – or droning -said it all…the man is a loon.
Anti-semitism on the rise in the USA. As recession turns to depression, how long before Balkanised Britain blows up? Bad times lie ahead of us.

Looks like the B*N*P* are onto a winner
Can anyone sell me a pair of Sally Bercows knickers?
Fresh or soiled?
Occupied or vacated?
Yellow to the front brown to the back
Would sir care for a pair of the scratch-and-sniff style?
$10
READ OUR LIPS, EVERYONES TAXES ARE GOING UP
No sign of Darling more like.
One lie – goodbye? (with respect to Steve Martin)
But its our fault it happened
Thank god for wireless internet in pubs eh?
It is time that Cameron remembered this –
Caismeachd Chloinn Chamshroin or The March Of The Cameron Men
There’s many a man of the Cameron clan
That has followed his chief to the field
He has sworn to support him or die by his side
For a Cameron never can yield.
Chorus
‘Tis the march of the Cameron men.
‘Tis the march, ’tis the march
‘Tis the march of the Cameron men.
I hear the pibroch sounding, sounding
Deep o’er the mountain and glen
While light springing footsteps
Are trampling the heath
2. Oh, proudly they walk, but each Cameron knows
He may tread on the heather no more
But boldly he follows his chief to the field
Where his laurels were gathered before.
Chorus
3. The moon has arisen, it shines on the path
Now trod by the gallant and true
High, high are their hopes, for their chieftain has said
That whatever men dare, they can do.
Chorus
Time to raise the game Dave. Stop pussyfooting about and bring Brown down.
Its a politcal budget , and a fairly crap one at that , £400mn borrowing in 2 years and growth will not service it , left off cuts , so trying to convince public that La La land will work .
It looks clever for now in a dull sort of way , Cw is cross at the last 2 years being wasted , wich if the ruin had got his finger out would have been meant better times ahead by now . “This budget from a position of strength” dont make me laugh , if youve had to revise contaction fig by 25% downwards since march , why should we think everything else is 25% wrong .
£400mn gov borrowing in 2 years , unemployment still not peaked by end of 2010 , clapped out boiler scheme , 0.5p extra take on every pound over 20k , and bounus tax already in legal definition trouble .Why can stepehen timms not give any figures , since when do goverments not give figures when requested to do which they collect !!!
Its wrong , its unexplained and unreasoned , its balm and sticking plaster for a dangerous mortal financial wound , its like having laurel and hardy attend medical care to you after a life threatening armed robbery injury , only without the laughs .
Greece situation will show us why need to be out of Europe
Did you ever expect anything else from this bunch of piss-poor marxist tossers, CW? it was always going to be lame, gutless, and deceptive, with figures that don’t add up, like some dodgy second hand car dealer’s accounts.
It’s great to see that the Tories have remembered that this country has a massive debt problem. This should be their message between now and the election: Gordon and Labour have fucked the nation’s finances, don’t give them another five ears to do even more damage to our nation’s future.
