Even the Iraqis are Laughing at Labour

Sex-text pest and FCO Minister Ivan Lewis has been slapped down by Iraq’s Ahrar Party leader Ayad Jamal Aldin after wading into Baghdad politics. In a move straight out of the New Labour playbook, Lewis used a piece in the Arab newspaper The Daily Star to urge Iraqi voters to judge their politicians on “better public services, fixed roads and transport systems and providing new jobs”, while ignoring the rank corruption that is crippling the country.  Sound familiar?

Fearless transparency campaigner Aldin, who has survived six assassination attempts, hit back hard though:

“Ivan Lewis MP misses the point with the Iraqi people’s political dissatisfaction. Corruption within the government must be the major issue on which the forthcoming election is fought. It is the corruption that prevents these services from being implemented as the money to fund them is siphoned off by Maliki’s government ministers. We will not stand for this anymore and promise tackle corruption head on so that all Iraqis can benefit from a fair and transparent administration which will benefit all the people of Iraq.”

Guido’s man in the Green Zone got in touch to put the boot in “It’s no surprise a UK Labour politician wants to ignore corruption, their spin won’t work here.” It’s a new low when even Iraqis are lecturing Labour about corruption.

        Sorry O/T but Is this legal ???

        Whats the betting that the TUC will make some significant contributions to the Labour paries election war chest shortly. This appears to look like money laundering

        “The Government is giving the Trades Union Congress millions of pounds from its foreign aid budget to pay for the education of British trade unionists and to support advocacy work in Britain.”

            Labour government gives Unions public money then the Unions give the money to the Labour party. It’s called ‘money laundering’.
            It’s usually the province of organised crime, terrorist organisations or corrupt third-world juntas.

            Funny you should mention that….

            Julian Harris, Research Fellow at IPN and co-author of “A Closer Union: The Political Abuse of Foreign Aid”, said, “This would appear to be a grotesque abuse of taxpayer funds. Not only is the money not going towards promoting economic development in poor countries – it is going to a group whose members have close political and financial ties to the Labour Party.”
            Lucky we’ve got a shit hot Foreign Secretary , to prevent this sort of abuse happening!!!

          Labours got debt, so the TUC gives them money, as it stands it only goes to pay off what they already owe. Labours is going to have to go chapter 11, bankrupt in real terms, they need more funding that the TUC and any other union can provide.

          • Call me Infidel says:

          I know McConnell was Labour. I remember the purple-faced arsehole silencing all debate about squandering money with a typical Lbaour ‘I make no apologies for ‘investing’ 2 billion more pounds in the NHS..’

          Just like the arseholes we have destroying the entire UK. No thought at all for what their money is buying. Never mind the product – look at the price. It’s like having a government run by a gaggle of football WAGs – ooooh, I spent 400 pounds on my Gucci handback. Oooooh, well I spend 1200 pounds on my Armani handbag and then in chips McConnell or Brown – well I spent 3000 quid on a mink Jimmy Choo handbag. It’s an investment!!!

            Always thought that was an odd priority. I suppose that once the money is transferred into a numbered Swiss account, it doesn’t make much odds how it’s spent.

            Do they have such a thing as an account in joint names:

            R MUGABE & JG BROWN, for instance?

          Lord Wayne of Trombone says:

          Gordon Brown’s lawyer, Karen Todner, said she was ”delighted” by the decision. A hearing is likely to take place in April or May with a judge to rule on whether the Home Secretary was right to decide that sending him to the US for trial would not breach his human rights.
          But she warned that Gordon, who suffers from a form of autism known as Asperger’s Syndrome, was in a ”very poor mental state” because of stress.

          Having a Central European ancestry (Joos) on my Fathers side and Irish on my Mothers, I consider myself to be a real hybrid. A Mongrel in the Mongrel nation.

          I admire the Jewish faith in many ways, however given a lot of power and influence, British Jewery can be very clannish and enabling to each other. BBC was a typical example of their ability to give each other a leg up the ladder.

          Israel is in a bad situation Geographically, and I abhor the constant baiting and killing of its citizens by its Neighbours. However it is fair to say that their reacion are ofter disproportionate. Understandable, but still disproportionate.

          Old Holborn…

          There are lots of things wrong with our parliament, parliamentarians, ministers, PM, and the as yet to be resolved problem of the monarch’s voluntary abdication of power that has let the executive assume the role of monarch in all but name… but it’s not about their religion.

          Blair was a Catholic (or whatever), and he couldn’t follow Bush fast enough into America’s wars of retribution. Cameron is C of E, and he would have gone in sooner than Blair. And Brown is Presbytarian, and carries the tradition on.

          “Christian” to a man, but so what? Christian or not, religious or not, sun-worshipper or not, their top priorities are furthering their own personal power, flattering their vanity by vainly struggling for even a paragraph in the history books, and maybe, just maybe, winning the popularity of the public.

          Politics is simply a rotten profession, the scum rises to the top, and it doesn’t discriminate between which fictitious paternal superbeing they lie about believeing in. As long as the public tolerate it, so it will continue.

      C U says:

      Well Jimmy since you are so loyal to Labour exactly who do you blame for Brown bottling the snap election back when he would have won? It was his decision to make.

      And if Blair lied about when he had promised to step down Brown should have had the bottle to go public and resolve the entire Blair Brown question forever years ago
      Instead he let it fester into a split that crippled his entire Party and left it far too late to repair the damage done by his own counterbriefings and claque

      You can try to blame Cameron all you like but Brown is the author of his own misfortune

      He was in charge of regulating the City and failed
      He let the finances get out of control with stupid PFI and PPP deals that cost the country a kings ransom but didn’t appear on the books to spoil his Budget statements
      He was the one who thought Afghanistan could be left on auto-pilot and everything would somehow magicaly be okay

      Were I a Labour voter I might think Hoon and Hewitt were top class fuckwits along with the other Blairites but I wouldn’t be blind enough to think Brown hadn’t done most of the damage to himself

        If Brown’s damage was limited to Brown and the Labour Party then none but Labour party activists would give a shit. The problem is that Brown’s idiocy is not limited to himself or the Labour Party.

        We are all going to be spending the next two decades paying for him and his parties gross negligence and criminal incompetence. I will almost be of pension age before we have any realistic chance of recovering from the epic clusterfuck bequeathed by these jackasses.

        Not only did the paranoid delusional coward bottle calling an election that he was sure to win, but he also bare faced lied about it when he announced that it was not going ahead.

        They had a full list of things ready and in motion.

        1. The massive overdraft from the Coop bank
        2. the bill boards booked
        3. the “personalised letters” in a warehouse were all ready to be posted that very next day
        4. the union funds had been allocated
        5. the back-room staff were working 14 hour days
        6. the fleet of limos to take Ministers around the country were circling ready As Brown was talking to Andrew Marr
        7. the battlebus was being prepped
        8 the policies for the manifesto…..ah. er……

        Well they had EVERYTHING ready to go EXCEPT that they had forgot to work on any new policies for the manifesto.

        What new level of fuckmuppetry is this that we now, 2 more years on, STILL have Brown devoid of new policies???

        The man was lying his ass off and by not stopping the election sooner, wasted 1.5 million pounds from a party whose accounts were already mired in a deficit.

        No wonder the country is financially fucked!

          Because it’s the right thing to do.

          They’ll do it too. They have no choice. They’ve got no money and nobody will lend them any. All their lawyers and accountants will be working on it right now. What is the best way to tie this down well away from FOI requests and get it legally as ‘plausibly deniable’ as possible. No e-mails. No memos. Nothing written down.

          Just like the cash for honours gig.

          You know it. I know it. They know it and they know that we know it. And yet they’re going to do it anyway – because they’re fucked. They have no choice. It’s a gamble they have to take.

    Did anyone notice a new term (as with similar ones like “hard working families”) that Brown started to use today?

    “50,000 families who live in such chaos that they need help”

    He must be referring to the spongers who live in very well planned “chaos” – claiming to the max,doing nothing during the day and watching Sky,smoking and drinking their lives in total “chaos”.

          We had 4 months of snow here in B Ardennes last year. -17c was regular.

          People got to work, schools stayed open.

          We had the first serious snow here today and the street that I live on, which leads into 1000s of hectares of forest, has already been snow ploughed and gritted.

          Here they pay the farmers to keep the roads open until the gritter can get there!

          • Gordon's favourite Butt Plug says:

            What foxes me is the notion that 6 days supply of salt grit is exactly the right amount. Especially after last Winters snow and ice conditions.

            The Council compounds have been there for yonks. The Grit storage sheds have been there for yonks. What is wrong with having full stores of Ice Grit at all times, replenishing during the Summer after all the adverse weather is definitely out of the way.

            Micro managed cock up, in a pathetic attempt to save some money, with the net result being a £10 Billion per day cash crisis as the wheels of the nation judder to a halt. FOI request for someone to ask how many days supply are actually able to be stored at any one time? My Guess. Informed is 42 days.
