“Save Our Gordon” v “Labour Unity” Campaigns

Fresh from calling for an immediate general election last night on Sky News because the “government is in disarray”, LabourList editor Alex Smith has set up an email petition calling for party unity. In just under twenty-four hours they have managed to get a devastating 129 people to take part.  Guido set up a Facebook group called “Save Our Gordon” a couple of hours ago and already it has 214 supporters.  Labour have been eclipsed in a fraction of the time span:

Guido thinks the co-conspirators can muster up a lot more support for Gordon than the Labour Party can manage nowadays, the last thing we want is for him to avoid the ballot box fate he so richly deserves.  Show your support for giving Brown the electoral humiliation he deserves here

UPDATE 16:55 : Over seven hundred members and counting, LabourList reporting a measly 152 for their campaign…

          • Mr Ned says:

            And in spite of this run of monumental failure by labour governments, I bet that labour will close the gap on the tories in the opinion polls to about 2 points.

            BUT it will be because tories will be telling the pollsters that they will vote labour in the hope that such a result will prop up Brown long enough to last to the election.

            In fact I am pretty sure that many tories are doing this already.

          I’ve never forgiven the train drivers for forcing me to hang about on freezing platforms to wait for my incredibly crowded train to school in so many winters. That’s why I will never vote Labour (well, one of the many reasons).

          Yes, what is it abour LABOUR GOVERNMENTS I wonder ?

          1960’s – Wilson – £ devalued
          1970’s – Callaghan – IMF bailout
          2000’s – Brown – Gov’t finances out of control

          3rd Labour administration in a row to screw it up – when will people learn ?

          • Nike says:

            Finances out of control is really damning with faint praise. We are like a lot of other countries. Completely knackered. Is it possible for someone with graphical abilities to do comparative baloons to show the actual size of the problem on a compare and contrast basis.

        Welcome to Labour’s Britain in 2010. Companies have their gas cut off even when they ’signed up to interruptible contracts’.

        I know, let’s blame Climate Change. Don’t blame the incompetent ‘government’ that can’t provide a decent energy infrastructure that can be relied on to support the rule of law. Brown is a fucking disgrace.

            Harriet Harman’s equality bill will ensure that it is legal to give preference to those from ethnic minorities and different sexual orientations when it comes to the provision of gas.

        Moley says:

        Not sure if I heard right, but I have the feeling that Brown accused Cameron of being a “Climate change denier” during PMQs and answer there was none.

        Thanks to these imbeciles (global warmists), we are facing a severe winter with inadequate energy supplies, salt shortages and dangerous untreated roads. Councils believed the rubbish being peddled by Gore in his ruthless pursuit of billions.

        The BBC has its part to play in this state of affairs too, by tearing up its charter and closing down debate on the subject; a stance which I am sure helped to bring about our current problems.

        I would not argue with the premise that energy supplies are limited and we need to use them with maximum economy, nor would I argue that having to be beholden to unsavoury regimes for our energy is undesirable.

        However; the whole world is experiencing unusually cold weather, it is not a local weather variation. In the past the planet moved from ice age to temperate climate without CO2 emissions; that was a lot of global warming.

        The time has come for politicians to abandon this stupidity and support an impartial scientific enquiry. The scientists who falsified data need to be firmly dealt with.

        I expect Brown and Miliband to treat global warming with religious fervour because they are too stupid to do otherwise.

        Cameron however is different. I expect better of him. Accusations of “climate change denier” should be treated with utter contempt.
        At the moment UKIP appears to be the only party that has not followed the easy path of political correctness.

        Lives are in danger unless our politicians start talking sense on this subject.

        You may not be quite correct with this.
        If these companies are on interuptible gas supply were they pay a lower price per therm,then they can be asked by the gas supply to stop using gas.
        These would normaly be companies who have alternative power sources.
        In the last company I worked for a few years ago it happened regularly in periods of heavy demand.

      There Will be No Unity says:

      How can he call for party unity when the majority of them want Gordon gone? Let’s face it the real reason number 10 did not want this secret ballot is because they knew it would result in no confidence in Gordon. They could easily have called the bluff, held the ballot and proved once and for all that the party has full confidence in Gordon but they did Not because they knew Gordon would lose.

        Dry Martini says:

        Brown would probably have won the ballot, but with a substantial anti vote leaving him up shit creek without a canoe. It would have compared unfavourably with the universal acclaim of 2007.

        • 93
          Mr Ned says:

          Yeah, Brown would have won it, because labour are cowards, one and all. BUT with a secret ballot, there would have been a big enough number of malcontents to leave Brown considerably weakened.

          The last thing these labour cowards want is for a spotlight to be shone on the scale of the internal dissent, then some of them might actually have to grow a pair and get off their arses and risk doing something about it.

          far easier for them to pretend to be supportive in public and hide their disloyalty and incompetence and cowardice from view.

          • Sir Trev Skint MP says:

            Labour malcontents are in a terrible tiz.

            They know Gordon will lose them the election. Their plan to replace him last summer, and yesterday, failed because they cannot find a replacement prepared to lose the election instead of Gordon. To volunteer would be to end their career in the commons.

            Jack Straw is promised a peerage by Millbanana if he puts his head on the block, but Straw doesn’t want to go down in Labour party history as a betrayer.

            Harry Hatemen is confusing the issue by attempting her own coup using Hewitt to flush out Millibanana.

            Whilst these two contemptuous and spineless cretins (Harmen & Milliband) play political poker with the party, there is no hope of either of them achieving their aim, which is to replace the stool pidgeon that succeeds The Prime McMentalist.

            Neither of them wants to lead the party into certain defeat, but both of them want to lead the party after it, and on to recovery and re-election.

            Meanwhile, Alan Johnson, the postie heir apparent, sees himself as the vulture who eventually lands on the wounded carcass of Labour.

            What a f*cking perfect shambles they are in, and yet still, they have 31% in the polls.

          • Mitch says:

            it’s between Straw and Mandelson.

            Harman is a joke too far.
            Milliband is spineless, so is Pat.
            Balls is mental.

          • Sir Trev Skint MP says:

            No chance for Balls. He will never get to lead the Labour party which sees him as Gorgon Bruin more of the same old shite.

            Forget Frodo Mandelson too, he is only interested in pulling the stings of a Prime Minister and couldn’t give a fig about opposition. He will be off to Europe where there isn’t any opposition.

          • Anonymous Misogynist says:

            Sir Trev.

            Couldn’t agree more. Mandelson has saved Gordon a second time and will again if needed. he wants to destroy Brown and the Brownites for what they have done to the party (New Labour) he helped to create.

            Mandelson doesn’t want to be PM, he alone will decide who will be the next leader of ‘his’ party and all the posturing by the above mentioned candidates counts for nothing.

            Mandelson is the king maker..!

          • Mr Ned says:

            >> “What a f*cking perfect shambles they are in, and yet still, they have 31% in the polls.”
            —————————

            I think that a part of that 31% (maybe 5%) must be tories bigging up the PM to stop him being toppled.

      Brown will be Labour leader for ever.

      Once the Tories cut its corrupt union funding, Labour, or rather, the National Executive Committee will be facing bankruptcy.

      Once Gordon’s “milli-band” (a very tiny group of people) of supporters has deserted him, he may find himself on his own to pick up the tab after a party that nobody wanted to gate-crash went horribly wrong.

      Doubtless he will continue to fight on, like a Viet Cong soldier that has been out of radio contact for forty years. Or, less glamorously, like an SDP leader.

      Ditto. I’ve shagged all the ex-girlfriends I want to, and the missus is dead against my finding any new ones for some reason, so what possible reason do I have to go on facebook?

      Just not interested in social media. In fact. I’m anti-social media. Lookit my blog, that is anti-social media. So’s this place at its best. Join facebook and the next thing you know i’ll have friends who will come round and visit while I’m making igloos or spoil my fucking xboxing, or worse, turn up after the apocalypse and eat all my tinned peaches. No. Fuck off. The peaches are for me and mine.

        Believe it or not there was an episode of mythbusters where they set out to discover if it was possible to polish a turd. They found out that you could, but it had to be from a specific species. I forget which one. A lion, or an elephant I think.

      And then, without the fear of towing the party line, all the (then) ex-cabinet disown him one by one.

      A lifetime of ignominy then awaits. He thinks Obama etc. ignore him now? He has no idea…

      No one will have any interest in anything he says or does at all. Hopefully it will drive him to suicide for all the lives he ruined.

      Spending more money we don’t have on more government funded pen-pushing that we neither need, nor want.

      What a twat. I am guessing that he wants to create a nice round two trillion pounds of debt.

      Brown’s delusional mathematics at work again. They believe that by taking on more and more people on the Government purse that they will increase tax intake and be better off. Where is the fucking money to pay them all going to come from? We are fast heading towards a tipping point whereby the productive and money generating section of the economy will be so weakened that the growing government funded section will kill off the productive section altogether.

      I am seriously surprised that Brown has not actually created a pyramid selling scam to fund government.

      Then again, I have not heard his speech yet, that might exactly be what he is proposing.

          OUTSTANDING PAYMENT NOTIFICATION.

          Attn: Beneficiary!!
          Your Long overdue Payment.

          I saw your email ( in the Central Computer among the list of unpaid contractors, inheritance next of kin and lotto beneficiaries that was originated from Africa, Europe, Asia Plus Middle east, Americans ) among the list of individuals and companies that your unpaid fund has been located to the CITI BANK LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM.

          Your email appeared among the beneficiaries, who will receive a part-payment of your contractual sum and has been approved already for months. You are requested to get back to me for more direction and instruction on how to receive your fund. However, we received an email from one Mr. Virgle Lee Samples who told us that he is your next of kin and that you died in a car accident last week.

          He has also submitted his account for us to transfer the fund to him including his International passport, we want to hear from you before we can make the transfer to confirm if you are dead or not. Please in confirmation that you are still alive, you are advised to reconfirm the below listed information to enable us facilitate an immediate payment for you.
          1 Your full names
          2 Your present contact address.
