Ding Dong : Guido V Kevin Barron MP

Guido isn’t sure what Labour MP Kevin Barron was expecting when he agreed to go on Sky News last night – the day details of MPs’ expenses were released.  Beforehand in the green room he was lamenting to former LibDem MP Richard Allen that the expenses gravy train had come to an end.  Once in front of the cameras he tried to make out he was some kind of reformer.  Guido wasn’t having that:

After this on screen exchange he called Guido a rude word. How hurtful…

      unbelievable innit, after all the lecturing from new labour about equal rights and not discriminating against people and yet and yet here we have a new labour troll attacking somebody on the basis of their body weight.
      fucking unbelievable innit.
      what a shower of bullshitting c’unts this new labour war party is made up of.
      what unworthy hypocrites.
      won’t be long until these c’utns are kicked out of office.
      good.

          You nailed him Guido. Barron was humilated, with people like him in parliament it’s time for an election and a new government. He couldn’t represent a cucumber, yet alone a parliamentary constituency.

          • Fortune Teller says:

            This halfwit is my MP. At the moment he is sat on a 10K plus majority, in a constituency that has remained Labour for almost a century. But the times they are a changing. In March Barron will be out of office. Those who can be bothered to vote in Rother Valley will switch their support to the BNP and an independent socialist candidate running an anti Barron/ anti corruption ticket. UKIP will win by a few hundred votes.

          Not at all, something of a well-wisher in fact, who knows that TV is a visual medium, most certainly not a socialist more an Austrian-economist come libertarian if you want to categorise

            Qui Bono

            “more of an Austrian-economist ”
            mmm was’nt there a little Austrian first world war sargeant, also a hater of people who was not like his perceived model of humanity also ranting like a lunatic……. yes you are a ‘ gebruik’te poes lappe’ you horrid bleeding twat

          • Qui Bono says:

            Alex Taylor, look up Austrian economist before exposing your ignorance for the world to see, incidentally Hitler never rose above the rank of Corporal in WW1. And kindly spare me the ‘keyboard warrior’ insults you’d never make to may face.

            Again, not a socialist in any sense.

          • Beano says:

            Yes Qui Bono, we should be careful labelling people thoughtlessly. Kevin Barron was sent to Parliament as a Socialist to look after the interests of his Constituents, many of who know what hardship really is. However, once there he thrust his hypocritical snout straight into the trough along with the rest. Not so much Socialist as ‘Robber Barron’.

        Fat people, bald people and other minorities are fair game if they are Tories. We regularly commit hate crimes and discriminate against upper class and wealthy people. Why do you think we haven’t legislated against class and wealth discrimination?

        Most labourites are just spineless cowards who hate losing. They are pathetic socially inept creatures. I just heard Brown (who I’m convinced is on medication) call Sarkozy his “best friend” – yes, he actually used the word ‘best’! He sounded like a teenager trying to get a point across not a prime minister. It beggars belief that this man is in power.

        The reason I think Mr Nasty (Brown) is on medication is because his speech has become slower and slightly slurred; in the words of today’s youth – he sounds very chilled. He’s definitely on something – and I wonder whether it’s valium or some other tranquiliser.

        • 41

          Seen how he’s walking these days? Just gliiiiiiiiiiiiding along – the man is fucking *iced*.

          He’s smiling, he’s happy, everybody loves him and he saved the world, he’s Gordon, and Gordon’s great – that man’s head is so pumped with artificially boosted neurotransmitters that I’m suprised he’s not spraying strings of serotonin from his eyes as he dances along.

          Fucking A1 bang-to-rights, certified raving nutjob. In a sane country he’d be dragged into the gutter and humanely destroyed.

            Why is Snotgobbler writing on this blog? Or is it his 4am child who has found Gordon’s laptop and having a go again?

          • Gooey Blob says:

            Gordon’s fallen asleep at the keyboard again, and his face is writing gibberish. Still, that’s how Darling wrote the PBR, so desperate was he to hide the horrible mess the country’s finances are in.

            They’re planning to write next year’s budget speech much the same way. If that is successful the Labour party manifesto will be handwritten in a mixture of crayon and dribble by Gordon Brown on the back of one of his rejected expenses forms. The next time Labour breaks a manifesto commitment they’ll just claim we had misinterpreted The Great Leader’s scribble or some such. Twisted genius, really.

        Guido, you should have asked him about the expensive cameras and extra lens to fit, SD cards and photopaper bought just before he went to New Zealand on a fact finding mission on binge drinking. WTF.

        It so happens our Kevin has relatives out there so he stayed on a while longer.

        Why he should want to go to New Zealand is a mystery as Maltby is a major centre of the binge drinking culture in this country.

        Office expenses need to be looked into more closely, cameras, laptops bought almost every year. What happens to these items when an MP finally leaves office?

    The word was “Tory”

    After hearing a couple’s complaints that their intimate life wasn’t what it used to be, the sex counsellor suggested that they vary their positions.

    For example, he suggested, you might try the wheelbarrow. Lift her legs from behind and off you go.

    The eager husband was all for trying this new idea as soon as they got home.

    “Well, okay”, the hesitant wife agreed, “but on two conditions – First, if it hurts, you will stop right away. And second, “she continued, “you have to promise we won’t go past my mother’s house”.

      They get it perfectly, but they don’t care because they know the worst that will happen is that a few of us will gripe about it on blogs like this one, in the comments section of newspaper websites and such like.

      How many unscrupulous sociopaths do you know that give a fuck if some of “the little people” that they despise speak ill of them – the large sums of cash more than make up for it in their eyes.

      Until we do far more than just moan and groan and gnash our teeth, this will continue to happen. But what else can we do that doesn’t involve getting banged up and having your name put on the kind of list most of us would sooner avoid? You’re not allowed to demonstrate anywhere near parliament any more, you have to get the police’s permission to demonstrate anywhere, and most people can’t be assed to get involved in such things anyway.

      They’ve divided more than enough in order to rule, so anyone who sticks their head above the pulpit will probably be on their own. I expect it to all get far worse over the next decade or two as the authoritarianism we’ve seen increase over the last couple of decades really starts to get legs, and a change of ruling party won’t make an ounce of difference.

        ”But what else can we do that doesn’t involve getting banged up and having your name put on the kind of list most of us would sooner avoid?”

        If it’s one thing the Islamists deserve credit for it is the successful on their behalf re emergence of martyrdom to strike fear into the hearts of their enemy.

        All you need is one martyr to make an example out of one/lot of MP’s and the fear will paralyse them to give into any concession.

        The only thing they hold most precious is their own lives and they are secure in that fact so everything else is mere trivia, so you need to devalue the certainty of them keeping it and then you will see results.

    Though why the fuck do you insist on using D when it should be T?

    Committee is not Commiddee, reminds me of the old days of the ‘pardy’

    Otherwise well done a big improvement.

      Strange behaviour – Quentin Davies put the full £20k for his bell tower down (despite what he claims now) even though it busted his allowance.

        Or maybe they put over the full amount in so when the full claim was turned down, but they still got the full amount allowable they could argue they where hard done to.

    There was an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman sentenced to beheading by guillotine. This Englishman was brought out first and as the blade fell towards his neck it got stuck. Tradition was that if this happened then they had to let him free so the Englishman was saved. Next they brought the Scotsman out and as the blade fell towards his neck the same thing happened so they had to let him free as well. As the Irishman is being brought he is kicking and screaming and making a terrible fuss. One of that guards says to him “What’s the matter with you.” The Irishman replies, “I’m not going near that thing until you get it fixed!”

Although at least now it has become obvious to one and all that not only do they routinely fail in their elected duties, with rare exceptions of course, but they have gone on to compound that sin by stealiing from the public purse .

    A good arse kicking Guido!

    Inland Revenue rules say that you cannot “live” off expenses so most of MPs expenses are taxable. We’ll forget about legal issues about what they can claim for the moment.

    Inland Revenue try to enforce the “2 year rule” … if you claim for accomodation, living expenses, travel beyond this period then where you work is judged to be your “normal” place of work and no expenses are payable tax free. This surely sets a precident … but, then again, as Gordon has said many times “Everybody will PAY their fair share of tax” … but not politicians, it seems!

Guido chuckled at the following exchange he had with a Tory insider:

Tory: “What’s Labour’s position on the Syria crisis?”

GF: They say you should be talking to Russia.”

Tory: “Labour have been saying that since 1945.”



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.
