Vince Cable famously remarked on the transformation of Gordon from Stalin into Mr Bean. In Spain Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is also caricatured as a Mr Bean look-a-like. Spain has this year assumed the presidency of the EU and set up as website, www.eu2010.es promoting itself. Yesterday an unidentified hacker replaced Zapatero’s picture with a picture of Mr Bean. No doubt Gordon will cite this as proof that once again he is “leading the world”…

Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”
Our Catalan friends think Zapatero is wonderful, because he got the Spanish troops out of Iraq. He limited benefits to Spanish Nationals, and then for a 6 month maximum period. I suggested he looked like Rowan Atkinson, and they weren’t very happy about the comparison. I still think he is a dead ringer.
Ah, but in Europe Mr Bean could also substitute for that Commie b@st@rd Barosso. And our glorious Commie b@st@rd leader Van Rompuy could be substituted for Adolf Hitler.
LMAO
Lib Dumb leader is doing an interview with Mumsnet
http://www.mumsnet.com/
Is he trying to score number 31?
Clegg’s is a nobody, and I should know.
To No15.
How about a interview with a Kindergarten,thats about the right level for their policies I would guess.
Hang on …
Why the fuck is the EU presidency still rotating now that we have Von Rompuy as President of the Council of Ministers? I thought the whole point of his appointment was to prevent the “stupid” and “unstable” 6 monthly rotation.
So is there now 2 EU Presidents of the council of Ministers along side Barosso as the President of the EU Commission?
WHO the fuck does Obama phone in an emergency?
“Hello, thank you for calling the EU leader emergency hotline.
for the President press one
for the other President press two
for yet another President press three”
And we are paying for this abortion of a state.
VOTE UKIP and get us out of this wasteful stupid and fucked up mess NOW!
My thoughts entirely. We were told that the whole point of the van Rumpy’s position in the EU consitution was to get rid of the rotating presidency. Yet another blatant lie from these crooks.
Although at least Zapatero is the most democratically elected of the lot of them (as in, more than 27 people had votes).
While I’m on the subject, are the president and foreign minister mute? We’ve not exactly heard much of them since they took office over a month ago. HM The Queen spoke to her people over Christmas, Dave & even Cyclops had new year messages, but the two new ones: nothing. What are they doing apart from costing us money?
Counting it
Did he ever receive the accusation of “going from a matador to Gordon Brown” apply in Spain I wonder?
I am looking forward to the day when Brown can truly be called a HasBean.
Van Rompuy = Sven Goran Erikson
Von Rumpy = Smeagol
“Vince Cable famously remarked on the transformation of Gordon from Stalin into Mr Bean.”
Vince is behind the times. Gordon has now transformed back into Stalin and he is no longer a joke, he is seriously damaging this country.
http://www.speroforum.com/a/24890/Al-Qaida-threatens-invasion-of-Spain
The Al Qaida terrorist organization has threatened to open yet another front in its war with the West, according to a January 1 video message disseminated by the terrorists’ second-in-command Ayman al Zawahiri. Speaking to terrrorists living in North Africa, also known as the Magreb, Al Zawahiri said that the reconquest of Spain – which was once largely occupied by Muslims – will not be accomplished without “disinfecting” the Magreb of infidels. These would include, reportedly, both Frenchmen and Spaniards.
Placating Islamofascism isn’t a good idea.
The Moors won’t get Gibraltar though, at least I hope not. It is no secret that the Muslims want to re-conquer the Iberian Peninsula.
If Zapatero is the new President of the EU, then what is the point of Van Rumpy and his expensive salary? No doubt Mr Bean and Smeagol will be struggling for control of the EU’s enormous budget.
Mr Bean would make a better job of running the EU than the current leaders. Incidentally, by some dreadfully ironic chance…
Alistair Campbell to appear before Iraq inquiry and Alistair Darling threatens Iceland. What a coincidence. Two Alistairs, two has Beans. But where is Brown? Not at Wootton Bassett, that’s for sure
To thats news.
Just what is Allypally Dare going to do to Iceland,invoke the terrorist law or maybe send Millipede over to beat them into submission with a bannana.
Christy, I think he will use a Weapon of Mad (sic) Destruction:
“Either you give us all of your money, or I will arrange for a ‘little accident’ to befall Iceland. I will ask for Gordon Brown to wish you well.”
“No! No! Anything but that! He would destroy us! You can have your money by the ends of the week!”
That ‘little accident’ being membership of the EU.
Spain holds the presidency, which is a different thing.
Perhaps Spain she be made an “honorary” member of the G20 now.
So Guido,are we saying we have two presidents,rumpy and zapatero,I’m not getting this ie:-Obama is the president but California holds the presidency.
Still confused. What does each President do? Whose in charge of the EUSSR Rumpy or Zapatero? Could either of them stop traffic in Beijing?
I am the president of Europe
[pre-empts inevitable flood of replies]
Good point how many presidents are there presently?
Does the last revolving President hang onto his title for ever or does Rumpy take over at some point and he has to go back to just being a PM.
I’ve just consulted wikipedia. The EU has seven Presidents at the moment and none of them is Zapatero.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_EU_institutions
Presidency of the Council of the European Union = Miguel Ángel Moratinos Cuyaubé (Spain’s foreign minister).
President of the European Council = Von Rumpy
President of the European Commission = Barroso
President of the European parliament = Buzek
President of the European Court of Justice = Skouris
President of the court of auditors = Caleira
President of the European Central Cank = Trichet
I don’t care how many of anything the EU has, I just want the UK out of the EUSSR, and back to trading with the world.
SEVEN???
Fookinhell!!
I adjust my comment to a previous comment:
Who does Obama phone in an emergency?
“Hello, thank you for calling the EU leader emergency hotline.
for the President press one
for the other President press two
for yet another President press three
for yet yet another president press four
for some other president again press five
for yet more choice of president press six
for more random choices of president press seven”
And we are paying for this abortion of a state.
VOTE UKIP and get us out of this wasteful stupid and fucked up mess NOW!
What the fuck is the difference between the Council of Europe and the European council?
Maybe all the presidents should start robbing banks instead of the electorate?
“President of the court of auditors”.
Given that they’ve not signed the accounts off for over 10 years, probably 15, due to fraud & corruption there’s a job I want.
Paid loads to be in a job nobody realised existed, for doing bugger all.
Council of the European Union = the principal decision-making institution of the European Union (EU). A small legislative body alongside European parliament.
European Council = institution that deals with major issues and any decisions made are “a major impetus in defining the general political guidelines of the European Union”. Made up of heads of government.
Council of Europe = non-EU organisation with 47 members inc. Russia
Gordon also won the worst dressed man 2009. I suppose we have to face it gordon makes Mother Theresa look like a snappy dresser.
Or Gandi!
The difference? Mother Theresa had pledged her poverty, Mr Brown has pledged OUR poverty.
As earlier mentioned Gordon looks like a scrotum with a face badly drawn on it.
He would have made an amusing addition to fingermouse, the seagull etc back in the 70s eh?
Please refer to me by my correct sobriquet, Mr. HasBean.
Yoffy, he’d have been too frightening for the children.
Mother Theresa deconstructed here:
http://www.slate.com/id/2090083/
Surely ‘named a fraud, fundamentalist and fake…’
‘Deconstruction’ is likewise fraudulent, fundamentalist and fake, and the preserve of left-liberal Intellectuals, and also is the name of the record label Kylie Minogue signed to in order to shake off her squeaky-clean image.
It was a shock that St Chris was sober for long enough to a: Notice her and b) write the article.
Zapatero is a socialist in the Blair style, but he is more credible as a progressive. The Spanish are having an awful time economically, but all the EU funding has now been diverted to the former Comecon Bloc countries. They have a wonderful motorway system, and trains that work well. Largely in part to the Billions we have contributed.
Makes you feel proud. £12BILLION a year was their annual input. They must have been ever so good at filling the forms in, or quite a few EU Mandarins are replete with lovely Spanish Villas. Ahem.
Bankruptcy hanging like a cloud over Labour’s election campaign.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6976038.ece
How appropriate that the party that has bankrupted the country is going bankrupt.
any way we can financially pressure their creditors? I want any way I can to stick the knife in.
The Labour Party owes me £30 !!
As a noisy fox hunting supporter I tried to get fellow supporters to join the Labour Party as ‘entryists’ to undermine its attempts to ban hunting.
I helped form The Rural Army – the website is still there – but ‘dormant’ at this moment
Although New Labour took my £30 via the internet my local Labour Party (not suprisingly) refused to accept my membership – thus I was kicked out
I was told that I would be able to appeal to the NEC – wrong!
I still have my Labour Membership card – and the email dialogue between Labour and myself
They promised to refund my £30 – but did not
I have waited until the time they really need it – fast approaching – to ask for it back
If they do not respond appropriately – I shall apply to wind them up (so to speak)
I hope Labour has accounted for it in its Balance Sheet!
You really could not make this up. Labour cannot even run its own finances so not surprising they cannot run the country’s. How ironic it is Darling talks about £34 billion shortfall and has £174 billion of his own. Some front from a failed chancellor who six months ago was sacked and then reinstated due to PM spelling mistake.
They do take rank and naked and blatant incompetence to a whole new level of entertainment.
If they weren’t fucking our very lives up, it would be hillarious.
But all the political parties are up to their bollocks in debt – it’s a very important part of the system of control. The parties are so totally useless that no-one with any sense joins them, so they can’t pay their way. In step the banks to lend them money they know can never be repaid. There is a purpose to this: if any political party were by accident to propose something actually in the interests of the people not the banksters, the party treasurer would be called in on the day parliament is dissolved, and told that their overdraft will be cancelled. Instant crisis in said party with no means to pay for propaganda – but quickly resolved when a few suggestions made by the bank are quickly incorporated into the manifesto. Of course, it never actually comes to this, as it is totally incorporated into the political system. Before you waste your vote on Red, Blue, Yellow or Tartan Tories, just remember: thanks to them, the banks have bought the whole political system and through it all the productive capacity of the British people for a few million quid. And a few million quid just called into being at the tap of a keyboard. Revolution, anyone?
very true.
Mr Blunkett, in his comments to The Times, warned that the Conservatives had an “absolutely clear strategy for buggering us after the next election” if they win power.
Be advised to lock the dog in the bedroom, Mr Blunkett, you wouldn’t want it suffering lasting psychological damage.
Did Jacob Zuma’s new wife used to work in the Earlsfield branch of Greggs?
I am sure she served me with a Festive Bake early in December
Brilliant! Apparently she’s either wife 3 or 5 depending on which news source one takes.
Probably another one of Baroness Scotland’s cast offs… having to be more careful nowadays — “phew that was a close shave she told her cleaner — never mind, how’d you like to be a President’s wife? I know just the guy.”
No Gregg’s is way below the Baroness’s station.
Yep, she’s Waitrose Woman personified.
She’s his fifth wife, but since an earlier wife divorced him and another killed herself she ranks as No 3 in the current pecking order.
She’s unlikely to remain the junior missus for much longer, however. By all accounts JZ’s put down deposits on two more including a Swazi princess.

A bit like Gordon except he’s way past saving.
Brown’s got the old Rouke’s Drift. The Relief of Mafekin approacheth come May 6th.
I do like the sound of beaten socialists in the morning.
Come to think of it, having Mr Bean for PM would be an improvement on what we’ve got now or what we’re likely to have after the election.
Sure, he’d make a big mess of running the country, but how is that any different from the alternatives? At least we’d have a good laugh while he’s doing it.
Keep taking your medicine. Or change the dose.
The difference would be the absence of malice.
Address the issues nearer to home first, remove the Muslim cancer from within. It is reported in today’s Telegraph that Choudary intends to proceed with the Islamic Parade in Wooten Bassett carrying a symbolic coffin representing the Muslim dead in Afghanistan.
The limp wristed pc Wiltshire Police Spokesperson said that “in exceptional circumstances” the police may apply for a prohibition order. Not “we will be applying for a prohibition order”.
Coach trips should be organised from every corner of the UK to attend Wooten Bassett should this march take place. Pig Masks should be worn with the word “terrorist” written across the forehead. The followers of this atavistic, oppressive cult should be left in no doubt that they cannot continually offend the majority of right minded, decent people in this country without consequences.
To No 25.
Re Wooton Bassett March.
When do you think we will get a definitive statement from Comrade McBust or is he in his usual bottleing mode.
Maybe the muslim voters are uppermost in his mind instead of the brave soldiers and good people of Wooton.
perhaps t-shirts with this on?
http://www.religionnewsblog.com/graphics/muhammad_cartoon.jpg
Christy, he’ll be waiting for the results from his focus groups befre he makes’s a decision.
Belly grovelling to Islamic extremism is so well entrenched in the British political Establishment and backed up by loony Local Authorities,blasphemy laws and the police that it is increasingly difficult for the majority to demonstrate their disgust.But the lid of enforced “diversity” cannot be kept on forever and as the Islamists extend Sharia law,”honour” killing and other manifestations of their medieval creed in the U.K. the non-Moslem majority will feel increasingly aggrieved. Continued building of the police state through surveillence and extending petty criminalisation, softening up the middle and working class white population, may not ultimately prevent growing civil disorder in the face of obscene events such as what is planned for Wootton Bassett.Traditional British tolerance and apathy may prove to have its limits.
We predict a riot.
Include me in
I started a collection for a woman in our office.

Anyone know who produced the Darling Dodgy Dossier? Was the research work carried out by publicly funded Treasury Civil Servants or did the Trade Unions pay for the job to be done by an outside consultancy?
To No30.
Yes I think we need to know were the money came from to pay for the dodgy Darling dossier.
This was obviously party politics and as such should be paid for directly by the Liebour party.
Freedom of Information request anyone?.
If and when the source of funding is published for the Darling dodgy dossier is shown to be the tax payer, then the labour party must be charged with misappropriation of funds and/or whichever unlawful crime would best suit there illegal use of tax-payers money for party political advertising.
It was originally reported in that treasury officials assisted with the construction of this how accurate I don’t know. It was though commented on by another poster that the same thing happened under Major except Major had an independent 3rd party undertake the work as he said “it would not be right and proper to use the treasury staff.”
How times change and with only 8 million is the coffers there is no way Labour could afford to undertake this on their own resources.
Meant to add….would it not have been better to spend the time and the money sorting out the mess they Labour made of the country rather than poiting fingers at people they think may make a mess of the country but are always left to sort it all out.
Jan. 5 — A third person crashed the White House state dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh by accompanying the official Indian delegation to the event, the Secret Service said in a statement.
An investigation into a previously disclosed security breach by a Virginia couple at the Nov. 24 event “has revealed that a third individual,Gordon Brown, who was not on the White House guest list, entered the state dinner,” yesterday’s statement said. There is no indication the individual had any contact with President Barack Obama, the agency said.
Hee hee. That Brown is a bungling clown.
Wee Jimmy Brown, the Primeministerial Clown. Make a great music hall act.
Sarkozy also has a remarkable resemblence to Mr Bean.So Zapatero,Sarkozy and Brown add up to two beans and a has been.And as for Berlusconi,nobody can be sure where he’s been.
To Colonel Nut.
Gordoom has it over Mr Bean,Rowan plays the part on purpose and is very good at it.
Gordoom on the other hand does it naturally and shows what a total waste of space he is and the best thing is he believes in the total inane bollocks that extrudes from under his nose.
O?T This fucking global warming pisses me off
another 8″ of snow again up norf again this morning
my cats can’t even go out because they would disappear
no work today less tax revenue for labours recovery
Be happy!
Just imagine, if it wasn’t for Al Gore and Gordon Brown saving the world you might have ten inches of snow.
all those billion of pounds he promised to the rest of the world !
may be he could give us a bit for a fucking snow shovel and buy all his hard up Labour councils a bit of rock salt the fucking roads around here wern’t gritter last time so we’ve no chance this time
The sky news presenter this morning said some areas up North were short of grit and quickly added that this was as a result of a failure on behalf of the supplier and not due to anything else.
Wind forward to next year 2011 for the same report
Some areas up North were short of grit this year as a direct result of the failure of Tory run councils and the Tory government who did nothing to ensure adequate supplies are available.
Both are fuck ups of course but the reporting angle is the thing that just pisses me off.
Still at least our local councils have been able to save money on buying road salt with the warmer climate.
Another thought will all these windmills work if covered with snow and ice?
They only work if there’s a wind and someone de-ices them… for the second year running with temperatures below 1° C by day and -7° C at night, the turbine on the opposite hill is motionless. Not producing power. Zilch,. Nada.
Wind turbines are carefully balanced. Additional weight provides inbalance in the rotation and thus they cannot be while the risk of falling ice is also a serious hazard.
Meanwhile a gas shortage was reported this morning though additional supplies were to be made available (Mmmm). In the meantime COAL FIRE BURNING power stations have to take the additional burden of suppling power and heat facilities to the grid.
The above is NOT!! made up and has been reported this morning. I don’t know ‘weather’ to laugh or cry (miss spell intentional)
There’s hardly any wind here today, it’s bloody freezing and I can see a dozen of Gordon’s wondmills on the Horizon and not one of them is turning. If he had his way, on days like today there would be no leccy and the loights would go out.
NOw you see why Wind “power” requires 80% backup capacity in conventional power production.
When you include this requirement, wind power is rendered totally financially insane.
The only people who gain are those False Profits like AlGor.
A couple of years ago, I recall reading a report by the Royal Academy of Engineering (I think) who worked out the cost of delivering electricity to the grid by different generating methods. That’s not easy to do, because you have to be very clear about what you’re including as costs – too many such analyses are skewed by vested interests in particular fields leaving out some cost elements.
Their conclusions were that gas was cheapest at about 2.2p/Kwh, coal about 2.5, nuclear about 3.0 and wind about 7.5. (Those figures will obviously change as gas and coal prices vary, because fuel costs are a high proportion of the total costs of those methods of power generation.)
Why is wind so expensive? The capital cost of installation is high relative to output. The only reason anybody builds the things at all is because their output is heavily subsidised – wind farm operators are farming subsidies, not wind. It’s interesting that during the 80′s, the green lobby criticised the nuclear sector constantly for being subsidised, but you never hear them criticise the wind farms for the same reason now.
Not only is wind power totally insane as pointed out above as back up is always required becuae winds are variable. We can never say in any great certainty which way, how hard and for how long a wind will blow. We can of course make very good estimates of what is likely to occur and the general location but thats all they will ever be.
On the other hand the speed, direction, force and duration of water in tides and currents can be very accurately predicted minute by minute day by day and years in advance for most specific locations with incredible accuracy .
Thus taking both the above into account the Government wish only to be seen to be doing something (wind towers can be seen by joe public) while current generators are subsea and cannot be readily observed by same joe public so not so plolitically beneficial
Financial insanity indeed and there is little if any point in building wind farms anywhere when a very sensible alternative is available and even though it would cost it would actually work.
You think it’s bad now. Looking at the weather map I’d guess Britain was till experiencing low to medium pressures. Wait for a high pressure zone to move in. Those bright clear skies drop the temperatures even more. On top of that in times of high pressure the wind doesn’t blow at all.
Further to my comment above about Royal Academy of Engineering report, it dates from 2004. The critical bit is on pages 9 and 10.
http://www.raeng.org.uk/news/publications/list/reports/Cost_of_Generating_Electricity.pdf
Brown thinks he can mend Brokenhagen and get all the countries to agree a new strategy. Our great leader don’t you just love him – not.
To Down With Brown.
Don’t get me upset with that global warming crap.
As you mention Shit for brains McBust and Al carbon trader Gore,the only place I want to see this pair is under 12 feet of snow,never to be seen again.
I am rather happy to see the weather return to normal. (normal by the last 150 year average) Only three years ago the climate alarmists were predicting that the Scottish ski resorts would be closed by now. Whereas they are having the second bumper season on the trot!
They were saying that the Arctic ice melt appeared to have hit a “tipping point” caused by the low albedo of the sea absorbing more heat and causing more melting. The only problem with that theory is that it does not include a mechanism that explains how the Arctic minimum ice extent has increased in surface area by over 10% per year since 2007. The media was full of Albedo scare stories in 2007, but has gone much quieter about it since then.
I do not recall a single story in the mainstream media about the largest on record Antarctic (South pole) ice extent last September. But all the media will be reporting about Antarctica next March when the refrozen ice floes start breaking up again. They have used the same picture of the straight line crack in the Wilkins ice shelf for the past three years running.

Liar Liar pant on fire ?
Ooops!!!
do they ever tell the real truth. Ah well I guess McTithead will be wibbling in a corner now crying for the love of his life president Omaha
Have a look at Guido’s quote of the day re. Mandelson and Brown and the article linked to it; it is compelling reading.
The elephant trap the Tories are walking into is that they are being forced to give more and more detail on spending and taxation plans in the absence of any clear knowledge about the true state of the Nation’s finances.
You can take it from Labour’s silence on the subject that our finances are infinitely worse than anyone could posssibly imagine and that all promises will have to be torn up once the truth is revealed.
We will continue to be fed with Labour lies right up to the election, and they need to be countered with Tory truths, however unpleasant they may be.
Winning an election and then having to break every promise you made is not a successful strategy.
Lying, cheating, scumbags.
We sit on a mountain of coal in the UK, but the forthcoming carbon trading agreements mean that we must pay others to use our own coal to keep us warm in the Winter. Energy security in the UK is threatened by Brown’s giveaway stance on carbon, while countries like China “mine and dine” on their natural resources.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/energy/gas/6934636/Britain-facing-gas-shortages-as-freezing-weather-continues.html
Meanwhile gas prices rocket thanks to the political naivety of the British governmnet. The EU must surely regard Britain as a land of out-bred chumps.
The whole world knows We are the Land Of Milk And Honey
at one time you had to get here to claim your free money
Now under Brown you can stay at home and reap the BENEFITS
the man is a total twat !
Running Britain the Brown way:
Give lots of money to lazy people to stay at home.
Tax rich people so they move abroad.
Spend lots of money on high salaries for luviees.
Borrow vast sums of money to pay for silly intiatives in health and education that change every six months.
Give money to the EU and African dictators.
Buy gas from the Russians when we have perfectly good coal under our feet.
Sit back in your bunker and watch Britain go bankrupt.
No his a Tosser. Oh OK his a Twat as well.
Just wait for the annual winter row between Russia and Ukraine and the ritual turning off of gas supplies.
A great deal of our electricity is gas generated; without gas we will have power cuts and most heating systems will stop working anyway.
Another massive Labour policy failure. Gas and electricity supplies are both vulnerable.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8440601.stm
Don’t worry about Russia and the Ukraine. We’re already running out of gas.
But hey it also says the boiler scrappage scheme starts today.
What are we supposed to run the f*ckers on?
Wankers
I have a vision of all these new boliers having a flap on the front with a sign on saying
“Insert cut up furniture and other timber here for heat”
We used to call them Hearthfires but I suppose they will be called something quite modern now.
We’re heavily dependent on gas, increasingly on imported supplies.
About 40% of our electricity generation capacity is gas-fired (about 30% coal-fired, about 19% nuclear, and the rest mainly hydro-electric. Wind makes up about 2% of installed capacity, but contributes about 1% to supplies).
Most of our imports of gas come from the gulf by bulk tanker, discharging at Milford Haven, and piped to a distribution centre in Gloucestershire (if memory serves). We don’t import Russian gas – yet.
Concern was expressed a couple of years ago about our reserve stocks. Other European contries hold reserves amounting to months of average usage; last winter, our reserves were down to a week or less. I don’t know if this problem has been resolved by the opening of the Milford Haven facility.
Such a wonderful idea. I will immediately instruct my minions to substitute look alikes for my problems – Piers Fletcher Dervish for Osborne, Julian Clary for Milton, Gollum for Bercow. I favour Hugh Grant as my look alike – like him I have spent many happy hours kerb crawling.
Global Warming?
It’s the fucking Ice Age in Wolverhampton
Coldest winter since 1978/9. Now what happened in the spring of 1979.

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/snowfalls-are-now-just-a-thing-of-the-past-724017.html
According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
Ice Age here in Cornwall.
Well we joined the Soviet modelled EU dictatorship and looking out of my window, it looks like Moscow out there!!!
And both main parties want to tax us more to stop further warming?
BASTARDS!!!
And nothumberland.
Northumberland even.
In my neck of the woods,the traffic is crawling with this 3 inches of snow,all in bottom gear producing carbon for fun.
What are the Liebour council doing other than sit on their arses,yes you got it in one absolutely F–K ALL.
No gritting been done,no bins been emptied,we did a risk assessment you see and found out it might be slippery,for f–k sake just what are we paying these wankers for.
But I tell you this that if I nailed a notice in front of my house saying deport all illegal immigrants I would have legions of these council tossers struggling through the snow to get to me.
True very true these illegal immigrants work for their gang masters for £2 or £3 per hour
why dont the council’s round em up and pay em £4 an hour to shift the fucking snow ?
These councils use a Central Government projection for weather to assess their likely gritting needs.
Central Government supports the IPCC man-made global warming bullshit.
Result? we run out of Grit, road become death traps and hundreds of people end up with broken bones or worse from slips and falls on the ice.
I would suggest that the victims sue their local councils AND central govenment AND Al Gore personally!

Gordon’s proof that Spain is in the G20.
Dont you have to wait for a country to be expelled before you can join ?
well thats Spain in and McBust’s Britain out then !
Nope, being a member of the EU does not grant one a membership of the G20 or the G20+.
Or is Gordon really saying that the G20 is really the G47?
I have grown so used to COCO the Brown and his fall over policies that it makes a pleasant change to see that the Election Circus is now featuring two more clowns to laugh at, namely “call me uncle” Dave C and his dancing monkey George Osbourn.
All we need now to compliment the act is a selection of Fraggle Rock glove puppets from the press, and we can be assured of a laugh a minute performance.
So, pass the pop corn keep a weather eye watch for stray custard pies and enjoy!
How long before they tax us for the snow ?
after all rain falls from the sky and we have to pay to use that
5% of snow should be brown & 4% black. Aiiiight.
some of mine is yellow and it dont taste to good
TOP TIP Dont eat yellow snow !
Anjem Choudary’s proposed march through Wootton Bassett is performing a useful function for the Islamic conquest of Britain, in that it is allowing other muslims to parade as “moderate”, “decent” and “law-abiding”.
In reality all muslims want the same thing: the imposition of an Islamic caliphate and sharia law across Europe. But this little stunt seems to have persuaded some dhimmified Brits that Choudary is an exception and that most muslims are peaceful.
In reality, all muslims want power over us “kaffirs”, they just use a variety of tactics to achieve their aims.

The islam4uk website remains down. This is strange, because the ISP hosting the site boast “unlimited bandwidth” for sites hosted on their servers, so it can’t be because too many people are trying to access the site.
So either the owners of the site have disabled the site or the dead hand of the state has intervened to close it down. If the latter, this is quite a worrying precedent.
The Stalinist Labour govt is looking for an excuse to close down all anti-govt sites including this one.
Criticising the Dear Leader is treason. Most muslims don’t do it because they see the govt as useful idiots.
And they’re breeding like rabbits.
They had it right in the Italian job:
“There are a quarter of a million Italians in Britain. And they’ll be made to suffer. Every restaurant, café, ice-cream parlour, gambling den and nightclub in London, Liverpool and Glasgow, will be smashed. Mr Bridger will drive them into the sea.”
…needs some updating though.
Remember Brown’s most Mr Bean-like moment….
Take a trip down Memory Lane.
Actually I was only this morning describing Brown, in the bunker commanding long spent non-existent billions be sent to plug yawning chasms in his spending walls, through which Conservative hordes are pouring.
He started as Stalin, became Bean and is finishing as Hitler, with only the propaganda ministry remaining loyal to the end. All his generals are starting to take their own decisions, realising the bunker no longer has a grasp on reality..
as it happens.
Anyone noticed the even more blatant than usual pro-Labour bias on the BBC last night and this morning? Everything is an attack on Cameron with arseholes like Ed Balls and Liam Byrne all over the BBC studios and treated like objective and revered commentators instead of the sociopathic liars they are. Even Fraser Nelson is joining in at the Spectator.
And this is only day 2 of the campaign.
Frazer Nelson writes whatever his new masters, the Barclay brothers, tell him to write.
That’s why he’s attacking Cameron and laying off Brown.
…or maybe it’s because Lord Snooty is bloody useless.
Am I troll peddling the divide the Tories line from the Bunker or a red faced dinosaur who really does think people like Tebbit are the way forward in 2010.
Either way I’m a pointless turd.
…but you don’t deny that Snooty is bloody useless.
Frasier is behaving very oddly indeed.
Barclay sandwich for him.
Has Fraser joined the dark side?
Nelson wants five more years of Brown. The Spectator is now just another Labour propaganda sheet.
He’s always had digs at Cameron and quite rightly so.
Yes, quite rightly. Cameron is useless. We need five more years of Gordon Brown and Ed Balls.
Well the General Election has not been called yet, so the campaign coverage in the media is not yet governed by the strict time and impartiality laws that come into play at that time. I predicted some time ago that the BBC would become a fully-fledged labour propaganda outlet until the election is officially called.
Brown will hang on as long as possible before calling an election, so the official campaign might only be about a fortnight, or even a week long. The labour party are very nearly bankrupt and cannot afford a long campaign, but they will happily use the BBC as their election agent and abuse tax-payer money to promote “public information campaigns” by every government department intensively until the election is finally announced in an official capacity. This is unlawful, but since when did labour care about obeying the law?
The purpose of the Gas Balancing Alert (GBA) is to provide a signal to the market that demand-side reduction and/or additional supplies may be required to avoid the risk of entering into a Network Gas Supply Emergency.

Gordon Brown unveils £100bn wind farm gamble

FFS Gordon its Fucking gas we need not Windmills.
Steady on old boy. I suggest a compromise that might mend fences all round – that these trouble makers be allowed to proceed only on the condition that they carry the burning Straw man through the town in person in front like a religious icon.
133 = reply to an inflammatory deleted comment at thread 26.
Something else deleted – banner ad demonstrating Guido takes the Fabians’ shilling. I hope Guido’s price was prettier than a bottle of rosé.
Well he has a point; Spain is in the G20 after all. Isn’t it?
Gordon IS leading the world – in blindly taking the once great country which he purports to lead, towards financial oblivion. I have compassion for the poor mortals in Britain and I will smite this ridiculous Scotsman from office in due course. His stupidity and sheer evil know no bounds and he deserves all that I wreak upon him and his pathetic crowd of third rate acolytes when next the mortals vote for a government. Begone Brown to the oblivion which suits you so well. I HAVE SPOKEN!
