          The Heir to Blair is on the Air so why is Dave struggling to get anywhere? says:

          so you think another failed coup attempt that Sky News isn’t even bothering to lead with will give Dave Blair another 10 points or so in the polls?

          doubt it

          Dave running a Blairite Presedential campaign with him front and centre reminding everyone why they hated Blair is clearly working splendidly

          9 points with a precious few months to go

          David Davies and Boris must be laughing their heads off

          • so who will vote for the destruction of families? says:

            Psychological ‘violence’ (a common garden row to anyone sane)to attract criminal record

            added some comments to a post on faustys great blog -

            French premier Francois Fillon seems to be in competion with Brown over who can produce the most ridiculous, intrusive, anti-family measures. (it is a NWO control method to make you fear the goverment and allow them to completely control every aspect of your life , just like the end of free speech to make sure you comply – you can bet this NWO totalitarian control method will be brought in by NWO/EU puppet `Dave` the traitor should the media convince the masses that this puppet will be an actual alternative to labour – yes some people really are that stupid!)

            Is “psychological violence” the latest example of linguistic gymnastics designed to usher in policies and measures to break up the family and to put the State into households? Or is it an ‘innocent’ bid to capture the female vote? (no not the female vote just more control programming and the destruction of family, community and culture – the state is now your new authority on every level – wait till they tell you how many children you can have -if any even though the indigenous europeans population is already in decline – oh yes its coming, it wont apply to the elites however or their pets)

            Married couples in France could end up with criminal records for insulting each other during arguments.

            Under a new law, France is to become the first country in the world to ban ‘ psychological violence’ within marriage.

            The law would apply to cohabiting couples and to both men and women.

            It would cover men who shout at their wives and women who hurl abuse at their husbands – although it was not clear last night if nagging would be viewed as breaking the law.

            The law is expected to cover every kind of insult including repeated rude remarks about a partner’s appearance, false allegations of infidelity and threats of physical violence.

            Sociologist Pierre Bonnet said: ‘The next step will be to make rudeness a criminal offence. The police and courts will be over-stretched trying to deal with numerous cases.’

            (not really, what will happen is the devorce rate will rocket, children will be fatherless and the continued destruction of family and its stable structure breaks down as the state enters the private household, propagandising and substantiating more reason to destroy the family unit, as usual these social engineering Nazis will claim it will benefit families! watch Dave jump on the nwo totalitarian bandwagon asap – for the `good` of the family – yeah right.

            PS if the EUSSR make it law – as appears to be the case will will get it anyway, seeing as we have no real democracy. so now you know what is coming and how the eu/nwo and their stooges dave and gordon are going to do, hands up who is still going to vote for these corrupt EU apparatchiks!

          • Dodgy Dave says:

            Yeah, right. ‘Psychological violence’ yet another example of political correctness (i.e. cultural Marxism) sweeping the west. First step, ditch the EUSSR by voting out LibLabConners.

          • watch the lib dems collapse at the next GE says:

            Libs dems have shown themselfs to be neither liberal or democratic, they are comonally known throught the country as the perverts party, though labour and the tories are doing their best to mimmick them! they are pro eussr, labours mini me and blue labours little brother – all identical twins – the triplet paty – aka the triplets! they are identicle to the other two, they were the state safety valve, but now some real alternative parties have risen and this has left the lib dims and their fascit pc eussr morons stranded!

            couldnt happen to a more missguided bunch of middleclass dipshits.

          • the triplets says:

            so who will vote for one of the triplet parties – lib lab contrick thinking they will get `change`.

          • Mr Ned says:

            Not me!

            But sadly, far too many people are still deeply conditioned by media indoctrination that these are the ONLY choices.

            If all those who are pissed off with the triplet liblabcontrick party actually got off their arses and voted against them, Guess what? they would be history! A clear majority of people in this country dislike all three, but their conditioning leads them to think it would be more productive to not vote at all.

          • Mr Ned says:

            It sounds like a win-win for Iceland.”

          At least ‘Albert Speer’ Darling has got the Nero Decree rescinded. He will at least try and turn the money taps off. Speer was an ardent Nazi and fanatical supporter of Brown. Until he realised he was insane.
          Maybe Darling is ‘the good Nazi’

          When the Camerallies get to the bunker in May they will find McMentals original reverse Reich demolitions infrastructure order

          We cannot give any comfort to our enemies. You have failed to stop the Tory advance. You have failed me. The English are not worthy of my genius. We will leave nothing but scorched earth when we withdraw, without paying the slightest regard to the future needs of the population. I therefore order:
          70 new bridges are built across the major and minor rivers, starting tomorrow. I want every airport to be granted funds for an additional runway and terminal. The high speed Glasgow London train link must be begun now, along with the Cardiff – Blackpool and Taunton to Hull lines.
          The M25 must be immediately widened to 12 lanes. All schools are to have a ‘social training centre storey added to the structure. All hospitals must take on full time 10 year contract staff in order to see all patients within 5 minutes. I demand a 1,000 years stockpile of salt at every county council.
          Order another 5 aircraft aircraft carriers and step up PFI contracts for any remaining government buildings. Increase the DVLA to cover bicycles and childrens scooters and OAP mobility carts. Hire staff accordingly.
          Unemployment must be reduced to zero by May. Just give people jobs anywhere and anything.
          Release all asylum seekers with 10 year visas. Accept all immigration applications. Empty the prisons.
          Council Tax is now reduced to £1 a household.

          The people failed me. The cabinet failed me. I will not fail. I will destroy the finances of this country until the ‘Browns from Brazil’ are ready to return in around 18 years time.

          Apart from anything else, we have this bunch of plotting pygmies scuttling round Westminster trying to knife/save their inglorious leader, instead of ‘getting on with the job’ and rescuing what is left of this country from bankruptcy. Good old NuLiebour – self and party first. Consistent, if nothing else.

          On reflection, anything that distracts them from yet more ligislative lunacy is probably a good thing.

      Gordon Brown stole my pension says:

      Why does anyone watch BBC news any more?

      Not had a TV for 10 years, but I was at a colleague’s house last night and for the first time ever saw Nick Robinson, and it was essentially, “Labour good! Labour good! Tories bad! Evil Tories! aaghr! Aaargh! Vote Labour!”

      I’m drunk and over simplifying, but there’s no getting away from it; impartial journalism it wasn’t, and this is funded 100% by taxpayers?

      Sadly, not much of a bout. Mandy looking slightly fed-up, barely mustering a stage fight with Paxo. Jeremy smiling in a relaxed way, like an old guy singing the songs of his youth jus’ one mo’ time. Hoon impersonating, lord save us, an elder statesman explaining in his memoirs that the timing of this stunt was not ideal, but – shrugs shoulders – meh, yes, probably he should have done it earlier but he didn’t.

      The poll looks about right. There is a core of people who would vote NL even if they were putting a Slaughter of the Firstborn Act in to force. There are a slightly larger number of people willing to hold their noses and vote Tory, if for no other reason than the urgency of getting rid of NL. That should deliver a majority but not perhaps a convincing one. That might be for the best as it should stop the Conservatives being too cocky.

      May have to have a t-shirt printed with “we can’t go on like this”.

        Mandy is good. Contrast him to Buff. A master and a servant.
        But he’s good in a bad way. Like Darth Vader is good at being a dark lord or snakes are good at injecting poison.

        Remember what Gordon was like without him? It was almost all over a year ago, until GB begged peter to come and help him.
        He is the Michael Corleone of the labour party, as opposed to Tony Blair’s Santino and Gordon Brown’s Fredo.

    For anyone who can’t read between the lines, here’s what they’re really saying: Mandy organised this farcical, doomed-to-fail plot, to spike the guns of a more plausible plot that now won’t happen.

          I know that we have within us the creativity, the innovation, the technological potential to achieve green growth – sustainable prosperity.

          The Stern report will tell us that the tools of success are in our grasp.

          But it will also say that the price of inaction gets higher every day.

          So I will not pretend to you that it will be easy.

          That there will be no pain or sacrifice.

      31% of Labour voters are people who immigrated and were immediately given citizenship, or they’re on Labour’s payroll, counting lamp posts and what not. You know, important jobs, with gold-plated pensions.

      Essentially, Labour bought the vote. The Conservatives’ solution to this needs to be: reverse the trend; round these tossers up and shoot them all. Somehow, I don’t think Dave “all-female selection lists because I’m a complete twat” Cameron is going to do that.

        Unfortunately it’s much worse than that. Quite a lot of my oldest friends STILL vote Labour and always will – they are still reeling with horror that I ever voted for Mrs Thatcher. These are the kind of (mainly university educated) post-60s arty liberals who read the Guardian and Independent and will always refuse to admit that they were ever WRONG politically.

        They hate Blair, they hate New Labour with a passion – but they will still go out and vote for Brown becuase that is what they always do. To do otherwise would be a sort of suicide of their ‘self’ – certainly of their self-image. Most think they can still influence the party from ‘within’, poor fools, rather as top Tories think they can influence the EU

        They’d vote Green perhaps, but never Tory. It’s a kind of intellectual arrogance allied to an irredeemably romantic and utopian mindset.

Dave “I’m a twat” Cameron desperately needs Muslim votes, too, so he won’t say a word against Choudray’s protest. Both Labour and Tory are unwitting and pitiful slaves of Allah, desperate for the Muslim vote.

    Labour would be crazy to stick with Brown now.

    All the anti-Hoon/Hewitt whinings from Labour have concerned only the timing of the message: no-one is actually praising Brown.

    And Miliband’s supportive tumbleweed second thought has sent a brilliantly clear message to the electorate: “If you vote for Brown, we’re going to sling him out.”.

    We’ve already been through “Vote Blair, get Brown”.

    Today has made Labour with Brown impossible for any sane person to vote for.

    Nothing is going to come to Brown’s rescue. Rising unemployment and zero pay-deals are going to piss people off even more if anything. And this is BEFORE any budget.

    The PLP is not going to give up. They face unemployment and they want a fighting chance.

    The marvellous prospect of the Tories passing legislation that will snuff Labour out entirely will not be lost on them.

      In some ways its hard to translate , vince thought personal debt was problem , but he didnt know what was going on elsewhere . I do not think David Cameron ever envisaged entering the race for the premiership with half the Uk banking sector nationalised , £5000 a second racking up in debt , no spending review , vague PBR and no vote on the EU lisbon . i mean if someone forwarned you before you accepted the job , would you still take it .

      whilst its very disturbing to think that the tories or the Lib dems didnt have a clue about what the ruin was doing , and his investment banking chums , its easy to think alarms should have been going off , but they didnt and even then the ruin just pressed the accelorater towards the cliff edge .

CW thought the left have now put them selves in a wierd position of being now publically understood what labour stands for , for if it is not the ruin , what is the left , the remanants of blairism ?? that wont stand .

    In an odd way patrica hewitt was signalling , a new leader could give them a quick reshuffle and save some higher labour marginals if deficet reduction was clarified . The ecnomic losses due to big freeze have no doubt blown a large hole in Darlings growth figs making the debt all the more critical . put it this way a quick election stabilises parliament , if that window passes then its difficult to see how labour policies will be believed by the public .

    Its interesting that Labour could now see the lefts lifeboats burnt , its a bit scary when you think the economy could encounter more trouble as he waits for may and what people might be thinking by then .

    It’s like saying “ok, I know you’ll shoot my nan in the head if I vote for you, but you say you’ll give me an extra ten quid when I pick up my giro? ok, I’ll vote for you then ‘cos the tenner’ll come in handy for a few extra beers at the weekends. sorry nan.”

    Given the circumstances of a completely destroyed economy, if we get anything other than a landslide tory victory then I’m off to live in asia in a bid to try and restore my faith in humanity.

      YouGov is part of the happy clappy, multi-culti, ageist cultural revolution.

    Every single time the BBC talk about this, they refer to it as a back-stabbing will/can-never-happen coup attempt being done for selfish reasons by a bunch of morons.

    Contrast that to when Brown actually did go for a true coup against a democratically elected PM, smearing a sitting PM using his back-room bullies, and ousting someone who had a perfect right to keep his job, when it was referred to by the BBC more along the lines of an inevitable, intelligent and reasoned and fair/democratic take-over by a man who’s only got the nation’s interests at heart and who’ll do a fantastic job.

    Can someone please tell the BBC that Brown has never been democratically elected as leader, either by his own party or by the electorate, and that it was Brown who performed the coup; the rebels are not trying a “coup”, they’re trying to overturn a pre-existing coup via democratic means.

    If you want a good example of why labour’s so negligent, here’s one….

    Back in the summer, following a cold winter and councils not having any grit/salt, the government asked for a report on what should be done about nobody being able to drive anywhere when we get cold weather or a few flakes of snow.

    About 6 months later, the government had received the report and had just sat on it and done nothing. By that time it got cold again and, surprise surprise, we didn’t have enough grit/salt to deal with cold weather.

    Why does it take 6 months to get a report that says “we need more grit/salt stocks” and even then do nothing about it?

    Labour commissions these kinds of reports which takes months (if not years) and which never go anywhere.

    Meanwhile, over in the US, following the pants-bomber, Obama commissions a report about what to do about the new threat. Does it take 6 months to come back with some suggestions and then nothing gets done? Does it, fuck. He demands the report to be on his desk within a week and makes his decisions right there and then after reading it and taking some advice.

    These things don’t need to take months/years, they can be done within a matter of days, it’s just a question of common sense and competence.

    I’m not a great Obama fan, I don’t agree with a lot of what he does, but he does have some common sense and gets things done quickly without fucking about, and even if you hate his politics, you have to be envious of the US having a leader which can actually get things done.

    Hmmm. First impression was that the wheels had come off the intended McMental tumbril with indecent haste. Later impression, however, and evidently the one sinking in with commentators, is the lengthy silences, the dogs who didn’t bark for such a long time.

    Fact 1: McMental is embattled, has a very small Praetorian Guard around him, and some of their loyalties are suspect.

    Fact 2: Most of the Cabinet hate his guts and are dying for him to go, but are so consumed with position-jockeying calculations that they can never act together to give McMental the old heave-ho onto that tumbril.

    It does look like the consequences of this failed coup might in fact be even more destabilising for Liebore than the two previous coup attempts. Fractiousness could increase exponentially. We just might see Liebore fall apart in the coming weeks and months.

    Labour is totally screwed.

The best they can muster is being the anti-Tory party. Not enough to get them anywhere near the Tory/anyone but this crowd vote.

    And these poll results are exactly the same as the YouGov ones from January 2009.

    There are probably several reasons for this:

    1. Most of us do not give a fuck about polls until an election is called,so take the responses with a pinch of salt.
    2.Old voting habits die hard
    3.You Govs polling methods are believed to be dodgy -they are alleged to weight in favour of Labour.

    If true,the comparison blows up the argument that Cameron has lost support or that Labour are having a resurgence.

    Hoon is a hoon. He couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery let alone a coup.

    Nick Robinson is a hoon too and a smug one at that. His Michael Fish moment should batter his reputation. The blogs are the future of political journalism and reporting in this country. They know what is really going on better than him.

    The BBC are doing all they can to protect their man Gordon, even trying to ignore a challenge to his leadership. All those reports on fields of snow rather than telling the British people about their Prime Minister struggling to hold on.

    The cabinet is full of chickens. Most of them obviously loathe Gordon as much as the rest of us, but can’t bring themselves to say publicly what they are saying and thinking privately. Sadly this pathetic lot have the power to make decisions that are a matter of life and death for some ordinary people.

    Gordon is a dead man walking. He had to rely on the likes of Ed Balls, Charlie Whelan, Sadiq Khan and Will Straw to protect him yesterday. He can’t pretend that is a strong enough team to hold him through an election campaign against the well-funded Conservative machine. Even if he somehow wins the election, the knives will be out from the cabinet within six weeks of the election. So the question for any Labour MPs you see about campaigning is who do they really want as PM in six months time?

    As an aside about YouGov sampling. I’ve been e mailed a link three times over the past month and when you access ityou’re told the survey is now closed which is firstly incorrect as the original e mail says that the deadline is still 2 days away etc so either they’ve got issues with the sampling or the survey is closing within 1 hour of the e mail advising you of the survey. – which rather puts the results in doubt!!

    The biggest question for Brown is whether or not he can twist the B o E’s arm to continue QE until the election.

    The last tranche of gilts placed on the market were all bought by the Bank of England.

    QE at the moment is intended to end at the end of this month and February’s Gilt issuance calendar shows unspecified amounts of short dated gilts (2yrs) being placed at the beginning of February at 5% and 5.25%.

    If 5%+ becomes the going rate; how close does that bring us to a compound debt trap?

    This isn’t my field, but the figures look worrying.

    The picture in my mind as the pound hits parity with a falling dollar, long term Gilt yields rise to 10.5%, the Bank of England is forced to rasie interest rates to a similar level, as inflation bursts past 20%, the public sector has a 5 year pay freeze, the basic rate of income tax is rasied to 40% and unemployment rises to 15% has a strangely attractive smell to it when you think that the architect of this disaster is still sitting in his bunker in Downing Street.
