McBride Predicts Labour Won’t Win

Damian McPoisonGrasping at straws, but still loyal to Gordon, Damian McBride told the assembled Beeboids in White City earlier today that he thought Labour could hold on to enough seats to secure a hung parliament.  Paul Waugh and Ben Brogan have done follow-ups – Ben was actually there.

Damian slagged off Blair, claiming that during the mad cow crisis Gordon was sat with the Chief Veterinary Officer counting cows whilst Blair was only vaguely interested.  Some might think that Blair looking at the big picture rather than getting bogged down in micro-managing details was sensible for a Prime Minister.

Asked about the possible effect of “citizen journalism” on the general election, Damian said he thought the ubiquity of camera phones might cost a candidate dearly.  There was much smirking when Laura Kuenssberg cuttingly interjected that Damian himself “had an incident with new technology”.  Guido remembers her rottweiler-like pursuit of Damian during the opening weekend of Smeargate.

Do you think Damian is missing being in the game?

UPDATE : Danny Finkelstein is calling Paul Waugh on his somewhat, how shall we put it, well “spun” version of events – Waugh wasn’t there – Danny is implying that Waugh’s “BBC insider” source is not truthfully reporting events. Fancy that. A while back Paul Waugh was the only hack to report information that could only have come from Nadine Dorries, her lawyers, Guido or McPoison. When Guido teased him that he must have Damian’s new number, Waugh denied it.  Clearly Damian still has his number…

          I merely mentioned that not one of the 59 Jewish UK Parliamentarians voted against an illegal invasion of Iraq to change the regime of Israels number 1 enemy in the region. Using British troops of course. Not the IDF.

          Then I mentioned that the Tories received £15.95 Million in donations from Jewish Donors. And how much Labour has received from Jewish donors.

          Of course, I am now branded an anti Semitic, vile bigot and am being hunted on my blog by various loons, wannabee Mossad agents and pizza salesmen from the IDF.

          Like I care.

          I think you’ll find Yentob and his mob at Mount BBC not critical of the regime change in Iraq one iota.

          Ham sandwiches have been off the canteen menu at the BBC ever since Lord “Low” Grade ran the place. His nephew, Sir Michael Grade now tows the Party line as Chairman and Cheif Rabbi.

      Okay, I have a question.

      Has anybody figured out how far those sperm must have swam to get to that woman’s ovaries?

      It must be about ten times the normal trip. Did they have to do it in relays? Establish base camps at intervals and then just leave the Edmund Hillary’s and Sherpa Tensings of sperm to go for the summit. Or like a pelaton, taking turns at the front?

      Still, she got a brown one. Or three.

      So that’s nice.

          Yes.

          A British billion is a million millions and a British trillion is 1 billion billions and a British Quadrillion is one trillion trillions. It increases exponentially.

          BUT the British government and banking and industry use the American billions and trillions. which are one thousand millions (billion) and one thousand billions (trillion) one thousand trillions (quadrillion)
