Dirty Tricks – the Suspects

Interesting that another letter purporting again to be from an anoymous Tory backbencher gained little traction last week and has thus now appeared on the left-leaning FT. How did they get the text when ConservativeHome couldn’t? The whole thing reeks of Labour dirty tricks again and the fact it appears on Commons paper makes Guido wonder who could the author be?

The letter picks up on media angles such as “We can’t go on like this” and the continuing drip drip of bile toward Steve Hilton making the authenticy look more and more dubious. Who has a track record in this sort of thing?

Guido’s top suspects:

  • Alastair “Dodgy Dossier” Campbell
  • Tom “I ♥ Dirty Tricks” Watson
  • Damian “Gents, a few ideas…” McBride
  • David “I’m Back!” Taylor

Your suggestions welcome…

      But the Tories are all uniting in order to win the election. Liebour are divided and mainly shitting themselves about the loss of their jobs in a few short months.

      My money’s on Watson, or possibly even Mandlebum, so despressed is he that he can’t hold his own party together long enough to get to the election…

            I see the Labour trolls are out in force again.

            The country is even more desperate to be rid of Brown than his own party. That’s why millions of people will vote tactically to remove Labour in their own constituencies.

          • Animal says:

            ODFO. If there is one towering achievement that Brown can trully call his legacy, it is how deeply he has sunk politics in this country. No one has ever run a Government that has behaved with such mendacious ferocity to dissenters and suck so hard at the teat of the public purse. No one will match it either.

          General Zod says:

          He’s the leader of the Tory party ‘pal’ and therefore has a pretty good mandate to meddle. And he’s also not in power so his ‘meddling’ has little effect on your life and has certainly not brought us to the brink of personal and national bankruptcy. Why don’t you concentrate some of that devastating ammo on the architects of this failed Socialist toilet we currently swim aimlessly around in? That would be a good start.

          Too right… see what’s been happening in the Suffolk seats.
          Democracy is not a concept which is understood in Dave’s Tory Party

          At least – probably as a result of his minions reading the DT ‘s and this blog/s – he has discarded the ludicrous idea of standing again as the ‘David Cameron Conservatives’. What vanity that was… but it’s only the named which has been discarded, nto the concept

          More fool him, He’s not yet grasped the fact that hie is not the solution, but the problem

            linguistically very interesting; not well drafted but that’s because it reads like someone trying to disguise their normal writing style. Short, clipped sentences and poor imagination. The phrase that leaps out is ‘just get nonsense from on high’.

          So it must be an MP of some type of shade of Blue, Yellow, or Red.

          I am sure that there are many Conservative MP’s that are already in despair over Camerons policies, especially his commitment to MMGW super-taxation, and The EU.

          However this letter does not ring true in any other ways.

          Please be reminded that ALL major, and minor political parties are subverted by several establishment stooges. Which have NO loyalty to any political ideologies or parties, but only to said establishment. These types go by the name these days of MI, or Common Purpose agents, they used to be called ‘Those Bastards.’

          IMO it is not in the establishments interests for there to be a massive Conservative Party majority in the HOC. A hung parliament is what they want, along with all of the utter chaos, and confusion that an unclear result would undoubtedly bring.

          It is not an accident that the establishment long since arranged that the Conservative Party has to win by 5-7% simply to gain a working majority. These types of things are always arranged many years in advance of time.

          Time will indeed tell, however don’t be surprised to find that the establishment, and its BBC have some rather nasty surprises for Cameron up their establishment controlled sleeves, to be leaked, and vastly over reported on, a week, or two before the coming election. A sort of later day Cash for Questions, possibly involving corruption, farm yard animals, drugs or very expensive call girls, or indeed far far worse if required.

          Sion Simon writes like a typically deluded sixth former. He pointlessly use long words and florid styles as he is just an attention seeking oxygen thief. If he had written the letter it would be packed with some choice french phrasing and badly chosen words for their syllable count. So I doubt it’s him, although he is still a grunting munter who richly deserves some humility soundly kicked into him.

          Now Tom Watson on the other hand……

            And surely an investigation into this matter would not take long to resolve either. Finding the writer would be pretty easy in fact.

For over 250 years it has been the pride of Birmingham and in a heart beat Nu Lab has tossed it to one side. Cadbury’s pioneered workers rights and working conditions, it was the Cadbury’s and the Chamberlin’s who led the way forward with social housing and the introduction of public parks for recreation on massive scale,

          This is a good profitable British company employing British workers,

          how can a debt ridden American company buy a blue chip profitable British company and then that PRAT thinks its ok their jobs will be safe. There is real anger in Birmingham and the West Midlands tonight that’s about 7 million people, Brown is about to regret his APATHY!!!

          • Mr Ned says:

            I remember watching a documentary open mouthed and in awe of how well the Cadbury factory took care of its workers. It was a model that has been copied to a great deal of success in Japan. You give the company your labour, and they take care of you and your families needs. This has built up the loyalty to the company in the children, grand children and so on until it is in the DNA of the people of that region.

            Brown fucks with that at his peril!

            There are some Brands that should NOT be sold. Even 18 years of tory rule did not see them sold, but under labour we have seen iconic brands sold or go bust. Britain has lost Rolls Royce, Bentley, Woolworths, and now Cadbury’s.

            Well, good people of the Midlands. Remember Cadbury’s at the next election and give labour a kicking!

          • The Bottle Fed Triplet says:

            In my part of the world, years back, there were several companies that gave the workers housing, sports facilities, a social club, free medical and dental care on site and bloody good pensions as well as training schemes and apprenticeships. They were all started by tough industrialists who knew how to make money and look after good workers.

            These men were true philanthropists who genuinely did more for the “workers” than the shower that infest left wing politics in Britain today. Names like Fry, Terry, Cadbury, Bata, Leverhulme and Owen could never be linked with a sponger like Marx. These families had a social conscience that was derived from a Christian duty not some political theory.

            I am saddened to see Cadbury’s being bought up. Peter Mandelson will stand there and wring his hands and say there is nothing he can do. Just like Patricia Hewitt when she stood outside the Rover factory not so long ago. New Labour; protecting British Jobs for British People?

        LABOUR – all the things that claim and have claimed to be since it was formed is exactly what CADBURY’S PIONEERED 100 years before them. Its not just about chocolate its about how we as working class want to be treated. The Cadbury Family recognised the welfare of its workers. This meant access to good education, health care, good social housing, recreational park lands and worker rights. All this happened at least 100 years BEFORE LABOUR was even formed. The CADBURY model has been much copied, CADBURY remains a great company and something we are very proud of in BIRMINGHAM if the Tories want to win votes then get of your arse DAVE support us at PMQ tomorow .

          Mr Ned.
          I was waiting for you to get to the point.
          You need to learn,how to write proper english like wat I dun.
          But I understood the last three words perfectly because it reminded me of my english teacher.
          OT,I watched ALLY CAMBELL giving his spiel to Chilcot,and I now see he has issued a clarification of his evidence,he won’t stoop to say he got something wrong,so instead he see’s the need to clarify mistakes.
          This is what Cambo said:- reading the bald words gives the wrong impression of what I thought I was saying in response to what I was being asked.
          It struck me that in the past I used to hear another person(Donald Rumsfeld) who came second only to John Prescot in his ability to f–k up the english language,I think that even he would have been proud of Mr Cambell,have missed the P out on purpose, P meaning PRAT and a lying one at that.

          • Mr Ned says:

            The old, I did not lie, I miss-spoke or was misunderstood ploy…

            I agree, his clarification was just more lies on top of previous lies about the original lies.

            Today, Mr Hoon blamed the former head of the UN’s weapons inspection Hans Blix and stated that Blix assured them that there were tonnes of Bulk Liquid Anthrax “unaccounted for”. That would be because it never existed.

            ALL the BLA that Iraq produced was accounted for and destroyed. The unaccounted for stocks were the result of the UN’s calculation of the maximum possible theoretical output of BLA.

            This figure was entirely theoretical to create an upper limit of what Saddam MIGHT have been able to produce. (so as to prevent inspectors having to keep on searching beyond the discovery of this amount of BLA)

            The difference between the destroyed accounted for stocks and this theoretical upper limit was the “unaccounted for” stocks.

            They never ever existed in reality.

            However, even IF they had existed, they would have been rendered inert by the laws of physics and the passage of time. BLA has a short shelf life. It would have gone off and been utterly harmless.

            The UN knew this. The Western leaders knew this. The media knew this. YET not once was Blair (or any Minister) asked, “What is the shelf life of Bulk Liquid Anthrax, Mr Blair?” Without the capability to import or grow any BLA of their own (fact) Iraq’s “unaccounted for” stocks of BLA could NOT have been a threat AT ALL.

            They knew this. I emailed every correspondent and news anchor I could find to implore them to ask Blair or any pro-war minister what the shelf life of these “unaccounted for” stocks was. It was a completely taboo question. It was never asked.

Gore’s soppy bear propaganda could get some tree-hugger killed very easily.

          • Mr Ned says:

            Cyco, I saw polar bears in a tiny enclosure in San Diego zoo. A majestic and ferocious beast who naturally wanders a terrain covering hundreds of square miles.

            It was so sad to see it trapped in a small enclosure, reduced to repetative swimming loops in it’s pool and rocking from side to side as it had been driven clean out of its mind by its imprisonment.

            San Diego being south of LA. A very very hot environment. The bear had survived their for years.

    The former defence secretary revealed that in 2003, Mr Brown, then the Chancellor, insisted on a reduction in Ministry of Defence spending, which forced him to make “difficult cuts” in orders for equipment including helicopters.

            The evidence now emerging at Chilcot will forever condemn this failed labour government.

            Look what happened to the EXPERTS who ‘unwisely’ spoke out against bliar and campbell to say that evidence for wmd did not exist. Don’t forget Gilligan who dared to stand against the establishment and was pilloried as Dr Kelly died.

            The memory of Dr David Kelly will stand for all time as a monument to this lying, evil government that bliar, campbell and especially gordon have been , cutting funding to the armed forces, deriving them of body armour, armoured vehicles and helicopters just as they were going to War!!

            And let’s not forget that gordon’s cuts to the MoD are still depriving our Armed Forces of support that would save lives.

            Not true Nell, I knew it and protested against the war at the time. I was very uncomfortable protesting alongside people from the far left in opposition to the war, but we had a common aim in those protests. However, in spite of the need to create a combined, unified group, the lefties soon started to have a go at anyone who was not left wing. They wanted to ‘own’ the protests.

            I also know of blogs run on pocket change that produced more truth AT THE TIME, than the whole output of the establishment mainstream media. If these blogs could establish with a high degree of certainty that Saddam did NOT have WMD, then why the hell could not the leader of her majesty’s opposition?

            It was a deliberate lie and the mainstream media was complicit in knowingly passing it on.

            Some tories who also supported the war are now conveniently hiding behind these lies, but they should have been sure to be informed of the facts, and they should now state that knowing what they NOW know, that they would not have supported the invasion.

            Actually, Cameron and Hague have both said that if knowing then what they know now, they would STILL have voted for the war. Just like Blair, they are admitting a support for an entirely and wholly illegal war crime.

            They CANNOT hide behind Blair’s lies.

          • nell says:

            Well Mr Ned everything you say is true. But for many of us who were not, at the time, politically aware, we simply believed what we were told by bliar.

            Not everyone has the time to examine political motives in detail. People are looking after elderly relatives, or fighting for disabled children or simply working long hours.

            Sometimes we only come to look for the truth years after the event .

          • Mr Ned says:

            Nell, I agree that you should not have been expected to look into every aspect of the claims made by Blair at the time. In fact with the Government and the mainstream media all telling the same lies, I would not expect the public to know when they are being lied to to such an extent.

            However, the leader of her majesty’s opposition SHOULD have been ensuring that he was informed as to the facts regarding what the actual known state of the threat.

            If I and other bloggers could, I am damn sure that HE should have.

            Dave should have (I expect would have) had a briefing from the security services on Privy Council terms. If not, then that would be a major breakdown in Govt, and CMD should have insisted. If he did, then either the security services lied, or CMD stuck his fingers in his ears.

          • Shock,Awe and downright lies says:

            The Leader of the Opposition at the time of the run up to the Iraq War was Ian Duncan-Smith who despite his valued work subsequently on social cohesion was let’s face totally useless as Leader of HM Opposition.

            But in his defence as an ex-Guards Officer he undoubtedly assumed that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom would act honourably especially in such crucial matters as committing the country to war. If he was told that even on Privy Council terms the “intel” was so sensitive that it couldn’t be revealed but the PM assured him that it was absolutely essential for national security that the invasion went ahead what would you do ? If a Prime Minister got up at the Despatch Box and told Pariliament and the nation essentially the same.Would you think a PM could lie over such an important matter ? Or that the decision to go to war had already been made by a small cabal who had steam-rollied it through Cabinet ? Before the evidence started to come out it would have dismissed as a work of fiction.

            Sir John Chilcot I think is determined that he will not face the public opprobium that his precedessors faced and will deliver a pretty damming verdict particularly on Bliar.The evidence is mounting against Bliar and although the Inquiry will not apportion guilt and is not a court of law I hope it finally destroys Bliar’s reputation forever and ensures he never receives any sort of honour,peerage etc from this country.He should on balance feel himself fortunate not to be in the dock at The Hague for waging illegal war

      The economic rocket scientists who were handsomely remunerated by the taxpayer: the politicians, the regulators and the Treasury who all stuck their index linked thumbs up their expense account bums while this clusterfuck descended on us.

      And when their taxpayer funded meal tickets run out owing to electoral toilet flushing or retirement they`ll simply oil their way into more cushy numbers. Our patience will be sorely tried, said Mervyn King: the man who looks like he dropped through a time warp from the outer reaches of Neville Chamberlain`s government.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/election-2010/7030157/David-Camerons-Tories-are-a-one-man-band-thats-playing-out-of-tune.html

    The comments after this piece reflect clearly what I have been seeing increasingly over the last two months – many Tories are now ex-Tories. Whether they return to the fold with great reluctance just in time to vote for Cameron remains to be seen – I doubt it as these people have simply moved on into the new reality and left the old world of political delusions behind.

    We now have a politics of despair. It is a comfortable fantasy that there exists a solution to every problem, but when something starts to truly unravel the process becomes irreversible. This country is now unravelling and the few that don’t realise the implications of this will do soon.

    The “banking crisis” was an outrageous scam – in which a manipulative elite scooped up yet more of our wealth, under cover of much distracting drama. Now we are just left to fight over a few scraps, alongside an ever-more demanding, ever-more increasing immigrant population. There is now no political solution to this or the troubles to come, none that I can see.

    caesars wife (reconstituted and freelance) says:

    Mmm bit of a change the heff thinks , Dave having a re tune ?

    apart from laughing my socks off at new meerkat ad , this may well add another dimension to him . When lady Thatcher came to be PM i was able to vote ,the lefts portrayal of her as cold and uncaring was just the thing for young “right on rebellious minds” like mine . It was only later when i came across a subject called ecnomics that I began to see what her government had been trying to acheive , wether socialist or tory or liberal they could all keep arguning till they passed out so long as the economy was allright, we had a long phase of growth based on modernised manufacturing and services . To this day no one has told me how labour would have sorted the economy out back in 1978 . It was unpleasant , difficult to convey but we were heading the wrong way .Here we are in 2010 with far more dangerous labour lagacy than in 1978 , as we have a huge debt which is tied to currency and perhaps a more difficult situation to rectify .We ask Darling what is going to happen and all we get is “deepest cuts for 20yrs” but little beyond that which means he doesnt know what to do , which doesnt soothanyone .

    We have new political languague and understandings from those very austere times , but the ecnomic message remains the same , conservatives have no wish to see or run a basket case economy as it always undermines the ability to invest in the country . Hitting the buffers in the way have labour set us all for is going to be very unpleasent indeed and uncertain in how long it will take to sort this out . Experienced people have somthing to offer , honest ones are even more valuable , there is perhaps a language articulation difference but that can be learnt . There are two schools of thought 1) we have reached a limit in how you can run a stable society and finace it 2) growth will cure all the problems .
    I am with the 1) school but can see how any 2)s may see it .
    It depends how you view the history of manufacture and banking , with many on the green side still reeling from faked gov sponsored science , it still doent make the energy resource depletion question posed by the greens any less important , clean energy and manufacture and recycling are no brainers , some want to wait for nuclear to develope , some want renewables and lower energy home use built in .
    being as the electric 747 was none starter then some things will always need liquid fuels , so there is a mix needed as we are certainly near peak oil .

    If the ruin had not run his dodgey accounts department for so long , whilst grinning at the conservatives , we would be well prepared for the investment in the new thinking , there is also the social defiects which need money again the runis dogey accounts has failed us . thes last 2 years of dither and closet accounts by the ruin have been critcal and he has not used them well in some ways hes made the totally wrong decisions .

    When I was young I was regretfully wrong about Lady Thatcher and what her cabinet were trying to do . I feel a bit conned by Blair he was given such a good set of books to live off . The young can be wrong the old too complacent , what an artfical construct about life that would be without them, when I lasted looked good minds always had somthing useful to say even if pleasing faces are more fashionable .

    Initial textual analysis shows it to be clearly written by someone who is not an MP, on an individual basis (ie not on behalf of a group), and whose vocabulary demonstrates is not a member of the general group (in this case, Conservative) to which he purports affiliation.

    More interesting is the detail that it is an abuse of Commons paper, and therefore reprimandable. A chat with a GPO worker might, as a long shot, bring some clarity on which building and floor of the Parliamentary estate it came from, if the idiots posted it all in one box.

    The KGB reference is rather wonderfully ironic, given Zinoviev.

    The more dirty tricks deployed against the tories the better. Oily Dave with his Eton education and millions in the bank cannot govern the masses with any authority or credibility. His view that unemployment is a price worth paying is easy for him to say. Try living on 62 of her majesties lager tokens for a full week. Unemployment = poverty and any working class person is one pay packet away from that, ask the steel workers on Teesside.
