First Blog Scalp of the 2010 Election

In the coming elections Guido has his eye on a few scalps, so he is a little surprised to see that this blog’s first casualty of the 2010 election cycle is Greg Stone, a LibDem councillor standing for parliament in Newcastle East against Labour’s Nick Brown.

Greg has withdrawn his candidature after a dossier of comments which he had made on this blog over a period of many months was circulated anonymously to the media.

Dominic Llewellyn, his Tory opponent, says the dossier was sent to him anonymously.  Guido has no doubt it was the work of Nick Brown, the government Chief Whip is not known as Gordon’s enforcer for his delicate approach to politics.  Nick Brown has survived a rent-boy scandal – because he claimed he did not pay for sex – he just gave the rent boy financial gifts.  If Nick Brown can survive that, Greg Stone should survive making a few OTT rude insults made in the context of the blokey bar-room, profanity strewn critique of politicians that prevails in the comments section here.

Probably not wise to indulge if you are a candidate. He won’t be the last politician brought down by a blog in the next few months…

    When was the Financial arrangement to the male prostitute outted? Surely, this sounds a lot like the Iris Robinson scandal. Or is it Better/Fairer when it is bloke in bloke?

          it’s a dilemma

          i mean wanting to claim the credit goes without saying but in this case you’d prefer the blame to go to Ed Balls rather than Dominic Llewellyn who gave you the dirt in the first place
          meh
          just insist it must have been him that’ll be good enough for those here at least

          and don’t worry it’s only a Lib Dem

          your real problem will come when you get dirt on a Tory MP and have to decide whether to sit on it or not
          because there’s always the chance that some other blogger will then get it and the knowledge that you sat on it if you don’t scoop

          spin doctors don’t even have to bother manipulating those troublesome question asking journalists anymore

          election campaigns are a hoot aren’t they ?

        So 1998 was when he admitted that there was Gay Sex with a known prostitute that he didn’t pay for. Wonder how many younger men he has been with since? Shudders.

        Jeffrey Archer, also knew a prostitute and gave her £2000 as a kindly gesture. Funny that.

        GET TO FUCK. Teachers ave been cossetted through the seventies and eighties to the present day in the ‘ somebody else pays’ world of good wages, secure pensions. and no meaningful competition or sanction for piss poor performance. The head teachers at the the schools my children attended have been time served uniform carriers who have forgotten the meaning of their own existence so secure and irreproachable are their positions.

        Good teachers and heads deserve every penny and more of their money, the trouble is there is no way still to sort the wheat from the chaff – and boy is there some chaff.

      Surely its all a question of morality? Do we want characters like this who utilise young males for sex?
      Is this what the voters of the UK really want??

      Thanks to blogs of this calibre, the electorate can make a far more informed decision on who they want at that heart of Government.
      On issues of immorality like this, his constituency should be hammered with this info, inserted into the public domain-let the people decide- and begone with him.

      How the PLP are supposed to look up to a poltoon of this repute is beyond me.

          It’s an ill wind . .

          Ironic really that this Robinson woman should perform what was probably her only useful service to a section of the people by the act that ended her position as a politician, a role that is generally understood for the benefit the people. Many women of a similar age across the nation who have wanted to have sex or even just to have a relation ship with a younger man will now, perhaps, feel that it can be achievable. A precedent for this has been set in recent years by Tracy Emin, who has given inspiration to many an old mort through her extra curricular activities, while giving no benefit to anyone, with the exception of curators and dealers, through her material product (wrongly cited as critical art).

        Hotel Expense says:

        MPs from all the Parties had dalliances with Ladies or Gentleman of the Night and used Expenses as a cash cow to pay for them.
        They were certainly not filed under as such but those who in the know knew what particular white goods, food, hotel or travel expenses were a cover and bogus. Receipts are not hard to get where required.
        Hence the large amount of divorces among MPs after the expenses scandal broke.

    One thing that is noticeable. When comments are blunt and to the point, and on contentious matters there is nearly always a swarm of Trolls jumping into the zone. They normally attack the poster, and never seek to defend the position of Gummint being raised.
    So Nick Brown is OK to engage in homosexual sex that results in him ‘assisting’ the sex worker financially, but comments about his Front Bench’s style, presentation, and eloquence are deemed Skanky. FFS, we really are under the gaze of the Stasi.

        What is a Political Party?

        What is its purpose?

        What it WAS is an alliance of people who seek to influence Government because their common views and ideals are unrepresented.

        (Look at the history of the Labour Party)

        What the political Party has become is a group of people who seek power for its own sake. People who work out what they have to say to get elected and say it.

        Our major parties are dinosaurs. They are unfit to survive because they no longer represent a coalition of coherent opinion.

        When people support UKIP, they have a strong opinion which is important to them and which they know will be represented. The old has to give way to the new; that is what the renewal of politics means.

            Are you unaware of the circumstances surrounding the Iraq dossier used by Blair to justify his insane war in Iraq?

            Blair tells them to re-write it so that it is less equivical.

            Spooks rewrite the dossier leaving possible interpretation that Saddam might be capable of producing WMD.

            Blair wilfully interprets the equivacation he personally ordered to be inserted as ‘proof’ that Iraqis could deploy WMD in 45 mins.

            Blair/Campbell wilfully allow 45 minute soundbite to be reported as missiles raining down on London within 45 minutes.

            Oh, oh, oh what a lovely war.

            And then, for dessert, they have the guys who revealed this hounded out of work and hounded to death respectively and the BBC eviscerated for daring to report it.

            ANd then convened a kangaroo court to exonerate themselves from all blame. Because they’d based their decision on an intelligence dossier.

            A dossier they’d had ordered rewritten to include the dodgy information. But the judge wasn’t allowed to consider that in his ‘independent’ inquiry.

Who has the power to control the media, the Government and get the intelligence services to lie in a dossier?)

          • jgm2 says:

            Indeed the Tories did vote for it. In an example of bi-partisan politics, for which Blair had prior form, IDS was summoned to Number 10 (actually – good point is IDS being called as a witness?).

            There IDS was shown ‘evidence’ – more than likely the same intelligence dossier that Blair had written – and so IDS advised the Tories that there was good grounds of national interest to go to war. And so they trusted their leader and voted accordingly.

            This is now wheeled out occasionally by Labour apologists to blame the Tories for the war. But the mistake IDS made was to trust the Prime Minister. Just as the mistake Paddy Ashdown made was to trust Labour.

            Everybody in the UK has been lied to repeatedly by this most evil and mendaceous government. Our international economic and political standing is at its lowest since the middle ages. We have all been horribly betrayed by this incompetent shower of cluelss Labour jackasses.

            And still 20 – 30% of the population will vote for them.

            not all
            because some honest patriotic Conservatives saw through the flimsy tissue of lies unlike the hopeless IDS

            for that matter if it was so convincing to veryone why were there Labour and Liberal MPs who saw it for the obvious bullshit it was ?

            No, I’m afraid there’s no escaping the fact that although Iraq will always be remembered rightly as Blairs Lies and Folly the Conservative leadership and most of the MPs at the time were gullible fools and have to deal with their fair share of the blame too

        Nope. They’d never let me be a politician because they’d have no ‘hold’ over me. So I’d never get to be a poltician. If I hadn’t been rude enough about Brown and his shower of incompetent arseholes already then there would be some other angle to keep the likes of me away from power. Governments like the Brown Idiocy couldn’t function with backbenchers who needed the job.

        That’s why there is always more dissent in Tory and Liberal ranks. Their backbenchers (and frontbenchers) have other ways to make a crust. Fuckwits like Jacqui Smith and Dave Milliband on the other hand would starve outside of politics.

            Just as Blair was the principle-free photogenic front-man for a government of unreconstructed Old Labour jackasses we must hope that Cameron is the photogenic frontman for a party with the balls to sort out Brown’s economic clustefuck.

            Because one thing is for sure – Brown isn’t capable of sorting it out. And nor are his supine shower of jackass MPs.

            As others have pointed out the best revenge we could have on Labour would be to re-elect them so that they were forced to sort out their own mess. Rub their nose in it again and again and again for five years. Unfortunately we all know that bad as it is those imbeciles would contrive to make things even worse.

            Because the guy who fucked it up would still be there. With a ‘mandate’. He would interprete that as a green light to carry on his idiocy. He will never admit that he fucked up. So he’ll search for ever more desperate means of avoiding admitting the obvious. Hence we are now printing 200bn quid this year just to make the payroll. It is like Mugabe priting money to pay the army.

            And we’re entertained with the news that this is ‘unconventional’ economics caused by a ‘global recession’ that ‘started in America’. Not desperation caused by incompetence then?

      Firstly, thanks for fucking off and being one less voter to sort this shit out!!! for every decent bloke who leaves this country in disgust, there are a couple of criminals or terrorists or paedophiles trying to get into this country illegally to fuck it over even more. Labour are doing fuck all to stop them.

      Now to answer your questions.

      1. the seat boundaries give labour a massive in-built majority. The tories would have to be 10 percent clear to just about scrape a win. Labour can lose this election and still retain power. The tories really should be 20 – 30 points ahead by now, but their leader is a weak, dithering, wimp who follows most of labours policies anyway so many voters do not think that there will be any change, so they are not flocking to vote for him.

      2. I can only think that it is a combination of the chemicals in the water supply medicating the public to be more docile and a general fear that Gordon would use any such dissent to get the Queen to enact the civil contingencies act and cancel elections.

      3 I agree with you. They should have some sort of performance related pay. If the country improves on a series of international indicators, then they get more money. If the economy improves (based on sound money and productivity, not debt) If the satisfaction index improves, if the people are more free and feel happier etc etc.

      4 Nobody, which begs the reason why? Why had the entire media bought into the WMD lie? why has the entire media bought into the CO2 scam? who benefits and who owns the media.

      The only people who really can hold this government to account are the people at the next election. BUT we have been deprived of a viable alternative amongst any of the “big three”

          • Francis Futurama says:

            Although these chumps are more than capable of a bit of dodgy photoshopping, I am not convinced that has happened in this case. To me, ALL the heads in this photo look a bit torso-diporoprtionate, but not more so than you might expect for politicians. I’ve enlarged the photos in Photoshop and can’t detect any Artifacts of Repixelisation, so if it has been ‘shopped it has been done well. I think it’s just the perspective combined with head postures.

            But the Hannukah angle I find very interesting. In a staged photo of this kind, intended for publicity rather than (one supposes) for sheer vanity, no element is included or excluded unintentionally. It would appear that these photos were taken in Downing Street and therefore represent a concious intention to associate the office of the Priminister with Jewish culture and religion at a time of their major religious festival, yet Brown is not Jewish, nor is Balls.

            Are they intending, for reasons of diversity and equality, to do a series of such religiously themed triumvirate icons, for all the main faiths, or is it just a one-off bash to wave a golden Menorah around in the hope of picking up some cash and votes?

    Please read this – notice the jobs are to last for the next 6 months – ie; the time between now and the General Election.

    So really what is happening is Labour are trying to ensure that their voters will vote for them and they are doing this by hiring people to help these potential voters maximise their benefits to ensure “increased levels of prosperity within the City”.

    ADVERT;
    “Our Liverpool based client has a number of full time temporary vacancies for experienced Welfare Rights / Benefits Advisors. These posts are likely to last for around 6 months and are to start as soon as possible.

    These vacancies have arisen in response to the current economic recession and the increased need for benefits advice within the City. Successful candidates will offer support to local residents, both in person and over the ‘phone, helping them to access all available welfare entitlements thus contributing to increased levels of prosperity within the City.

    Typical duties will include advising on welfare and benefits entitlements, signposting to welfare support agencies, attending advice surgeries at One Stop Shops and negotiating with utilities companies, benefit and other agencies to resolve customers problems.

    Applicants should ideally drive and have access to their own vehicle as they will be expected to maintain a caseload of customers that will require home visits. Consideration will be given to non-drivers.

    For further information, or to apply for these posts, please submit your CV and contact details as soon as possible, stating whether or not you drive.”

    If we want to help get rid of Brown and his awful government, and do what we can to ensure that Cameron does what he’s told, then all of us should sign-up to the idea of becoming Guido’s co-conspiritors.

    What I mean by this, is that most of us will have a mobile phone, and most mobile phones have cameras. Perhaps we should just keep our eyes open to what our MPs are really doing over the next few months, and snap ‘em at it.

    The FB page to prevent Islam4UK marching at Wootten Bassett achieved its goals by concerted action and was probably instrumental in getting the organisation proscribed, we could be just as sucsessful dealing with deceitful politicians.

    It’s not the soloution, but it’s part of the soloution.

    How odd that the word that seems to pop up in everybody’s mind whenever you mention the name “Nick Brown” seems to be “odious”. I only have to see a picture of him or his name written down somewhere, and before I can think of anything else, the word “odious” just seems to appear in my head as if from nowhere.
    Perhaps it’s because he’s such a perfect match for the word.

    Odious:
    –adjective
    1. deserving or causing hatred; hateful; detestable.
    2. highly offensive; repugnant; disgusting.
    Origin:
    1350–1400; ME < L odiōsus, equiv. to od(ium) hatred, odium + -ōsus -ous

    Related forms:
    o⋅di⋅ous⋅ly, adverb
    o⋅di⋅ous⋅ness, noun

    Synonyms:
    1. abominable, objectionable, despicable, execrable. See hateful. 2. loathsome, repellent, repulsive.

      It rather leaves a bad taste in the mouth, finding out that David Tennant is so pro-Brown, especially after his great work as the Doctor in recent years.

      Still, Russell T Davis has done a great job in reinvigorating the old show, but he would argue that is due to ‘the unique way the BBC is funded’.

      Yeah, by bullying the poorest in society so you can have very well-paid appointments and live a champagne-socialist lifestyle.

    2nd attempt to get this message across – first one too near the knuckle.

    On the website of a newspaper beginning with “G”,there is a job advertised for;

    Benefits Maximization Officers

    In Liverpool.

    These roles are just for 6 months and involve visiting those scroungers (sorry,claimants) who can be helped to maximize the amount of money they are due to ensure the ongoing economic benefit of the city (?!).

    Now,let me think – 6 months takes us to June – isn’t that the last date that Brown can call an election?

    So here we have hoards of people being hired (at £11 per hour) to go round and butter up the Labour vote and give them,shall we call them inducements,to ensure they vote Labour.

    Outright b.r.i.b.e.r.y..

    I do recall Brown in his student days worked very hard to ensure people maxed their state handouts to the nth degree?

      No news is usually good news, but I don’t think it is in this case.

      Following the lacklustre support for the PM over the attempted coup last week, there has been little coverage of this very important meeting indicating that Labour are in dire straits. There was a mention that Gordon Brown would have to undergo a complete character change in order to appease some of the less complimentary PLP members. I just can’t see him in charge at the next election. Most of the cabinet know that Labour will be history if he is, but they also know that they will personally benefit most if they stay put and shut up. Gordon must know where an awful lot of skeletons are buried.
