Incidentally Clifford Singer has been boasting that the very enjoyable airbrushed myDavidCameron poster site is the most popular political website of the moment, David Prescott is even soliciting advertising. Guido has enjoyed the posters but just to get the facts straight, on January 6 this blog had 109,788 page views that day. In the two weeks following, according to Clifford, his site had 105,928 page views in total. Some way to go Clifford. Functionally the Cameronizer and Barefoot sites are much better…
sorry, lower case n
I think you mean http://bit.ly/camgen1 works better ?
Threat level now increased to “severe” OK. Is anyone in goverment going to explain the reasons for this and lets know, what they know? I suppose AJ will post it to us ffs does anyone in this sorry excuse for government actually govern.
Assuming that you don’t want a repeat of BLIAR’s tanks’ntroops at Heathrow, how else are they sposed to show guv’ning except by meaningless displays of ineptitude?
Good morning all Ready for another day in bankrupt Britain ?
Now Gordon is on first name terms with Simon Cowell how long before his business empires crumbles. Even SC’s ego can’t stop the Jonah Curse. His doomed.

Complete with air-ground-missiles no doubt. Saves all that hassle we see on TV programmes like “Police Interceptors”.Instead of chasing the “twocs” the police just launch a missile at them.
Have you seen how fat plods are these days? The idea of being able to keep their cowardly lardy shit stained arses in the pig house whilst launching missiles by remote on evil white people will be great for them.
Take out Tory voters as well on election day.
Ve are only following orders.
Wonder how many of these flying roboplods it would take to bring down a Jumbo Jet accidentally.
@Guido
Any thoughts on the Tea Party movement? They’ve grown out of an anger about high-taxing, high-spending Federal Government. A government more concerned with the rights of minorities than the plight of the majority.
You’ve posted on Scott Brown’s success in Mass (which pleased quite a few people here who think his wife and daughters are very shaggable), but what about the possibility of non-partisan, town-hall movements in the UK?
Is UKIP really the best we can do?
What are the parallels with the success of Ban Islam4UK on Facebook?
Isn’t all this exactly where you come from as a Libertarian?
Taxpayers’ Alliance is the equivalent. UKIP are not libertarians, banning burqas is not libertarian, banning peaceful protestors, however loony they may be, is not libertarian. You seem confused.
Thanks G
I’m not as well informed as you about what’s really going on in politics, but I’m not at all confused about the idea of freedom.
I gave the example of UKIP as a party who trade on their seeming non-partisan approach – a plague on both your houses if you will – and Ban Islam4UK becauase they harnessed the power of Facebook. We’ll have to disagree on whether Islam4UK was inciting violence – I think they were, you think they weren’t – as far as I know, neither of us was there.
As for the Tea Party movement. Have the Taxpayers Alliance been sucessful in getting a low-tax candidate into a big government seat? Do they hold large, well attended social events across the UK? Are they harnessing the power of the www?
Barack Obama is running scared of the Tea Party movment and has reconvened his 2008 team because he thinks he going to be trounced in the mid-term elections.
Think the Tea Party movement may do what your namesake failed to.
The hardworking majority supporting the feckless …
Too many questions.
Talking about banning:-

Bully tries to soften his awful, nasty image by talking about a disability.
How low will Labour go?
Balls is fuckwit, no overcoming that.
Just like Brown and his bullshit about rugby injuries and loss of sight.
Lying shits.
How can I overcome my numerous problems and failings?
Shoot yourself dead.
Stick a gun to your head. Doubt you could get even that right though.
Gordon Brown is the Mental Midget of our times.
This is only the start of it. NuLabour will resort to anything to cling to power. We are in for a very interesting couple of months. However, the debates will be a defining moment. Very few people watch or even bother with PMQ’s. We know QT is much more influential and the three debates to come will be huge. GB will get ripped and it will be seen by a huge audiance and NuLabour agreed to the debates thinking they had nothing to lose – wrong!!! Not only is Nulabour minister inept but it seems that the advisors behind them are just as bad.
They will indeed resort to anything.
Upping the perceived terror threat today laying the groundwork for a crisis for Brown to be seen to sort out being just one example. Of course the reasons for upping it are all hush hush, can’t tell anyone can we?
I still think chances are he will try to cancel the election on national security grounds. This being a step on that path.
If you are a Lefty. facing a GE that you are bound to lose IS a national emergency. Look for all those flatheaded Fabian blogs to start hypothesising on the necessity for regular elections, That’ll be the straw in the wind.
I agree, they up the threat level and then say nothing! What is the threat and do we not have a right to know? I suppose by upping the threat level they can then say well we did tell you so! What a sorry lot they really are.
Looking at Cameron’s performance in PMQ’s, there is no guarentee that he will win any debate. He has been utterly pathetic at PMQ’s lately.
Sure, tories may stick to the belief that it is a deliberate tactic to ‘prop up’ Gordon Brown, but what if it wasn’t? What if, come the debates, he really IS that shit?
You have a point and I will hold my hands up if wrong but come the debates the gloves will be off and both Cameron and Clegg will show how utterly useless GB really is. In front of 15 – 20 million viewers the stakes are very high.
Labour have snuck a small amendment through Parliament stating that mental illness is no longer a condition requiring an MP to stand down. Fuckwittery, creepy grimaces, nasal explorations on the Front Bench, a belief that one has saved the world, Belief that a shakedown in a relatives house constitutes a second home,etc are no longer a barrier. Which is just as well when you consider the state of MP’s.
Has there been anyone else in our recent history so reviled as this sorry excuse for a PM. I don’t think so.
You missed out belief that 4 minutes with Spartacus and a turkey baster constitutes fatherhood.
There’s a lot I missed out, butI didn’t want to post a latter-day “Decline and Fall”
I am a BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBilderberger.
Well done Ed, If all else fails go for the sympathy vote,…. Alistair Campbell…sometimes I get so depressed I need somebody else to get killed (Dr Kelly).
Gordon Brown: “I was against the Iraq War. The Simon Cowell Haiti Disaster Pop Record was all my idea. I saved the World’s Banks. I raised the UK Threat Alert for absolutely no reason. Now that the snow has all gone I’ve arranged for big order to be place for grit. I’m the Prime Minister so can only talk in terms of millions of jobs and billons of investment.”
BTW, I’m looking forward to the next disaster I can latch onto.
The terror threat has now increased for political purposes.
I am terrorising British Citizens to score political points because I am desperate and have no morals and I am a traitor to my country. My loyalties lie with the America where I will be moving to live as soon as I have been booted out of power.
The fact that we are occupying Afghanistan has nothing to do with the the terrorist threat because no Afghan has ever been involved in a terrorist attack in this country.
Terrorism did not begin in Afghanistan but in Saudi Arabia and the Afghans had nothing to do with 9/11.
The terrorist threat has in fact decreased in this country thanks to firm sentencing of the courts but I am ignoring this fact and am increasing the terrorist threat to cause fear and confusion to panic the population.
Meanwhile I will continue to authorise the torture of Afghans to cause trouble.
Hey Gordon, you need to be sectioned under the mental health act – now.
Yes, Alqaeda is a Saudi Arabian terrorist organisation.
We cannot deny it because it is true.
See 19 above. All that will happen is that we will have a officially insane PM.
Lucky America. What with all the paperwork, you’ll probably get there in time for 2012.
You think that after the Jonah effect causing electoral disasters for the Democrats, POTUS is going to let Salvatore Mundi live there?
El Gordo is bound for the EU Commission. No elections to worry about, expenses get waved through on the nod, a substantial lifestyle for doing nothing, it’s a socialist paradise. If he continues to catalyse disasters, no one will notice in the general chaos.
“7up” Guido?
I thought it would it be Coke – “Original and still the best”
Governments have always used the following argument to raise tax: we need more tax to do more things, if we do not have more tax then we cannot do more things, indeed we will have to cut existing services because government is an expensive business you know.
Nobody believes that shit any more because we pay more tax and get worse services and so the politicians have overplayed that card and have now been forced to mutate their previous argument into this one: we must charge more tax because if we do not the world will be destroyed.
WHHHHOOOOOO! SCARY! They are now trying to terrorise people into coughing up.
The only problem is it is a self evident truth that by taking more money from the taxpayer people will need to take home even money in order to protect their current wage levels and standard of life.
Therefore it follows that people will have to work even more hours and burn even more emissions to in order to do extra hours so they can maintain those lifestyles.
The politicians argument is untenable and false.
The truth is this: green taxes are a direct result of successive governments’ fiscal ineptitude and corruption.
Every time a politician talks of green taxes they are in fact offering an admission of guilt of their own incomptence and corrupt natures.
We were told the end would be nigh if America gained its independence and we are being told the end is nigh if we do not succumb to green taxes.
It’s all a load of shit.
Life goes on. Technology and responsible stewardship of natural resources will ensure a clean environment, not taxes.
Applause.
this is not going to go down well

shit happens……….
Did anyone else see BBC Newsnight last night, with rat face? Four fucking wet liberals. including dyke Bonnie Greer (fuck she’s ugly) wanking on about how Obama has been sunk by evil Fox News. BBC types launch into a hate filled piece for 20 minutes about Fox News then Sarah Palin.
90% of the media in the USA is up the arse of Barry yet still the fucking BBC think it’s wrong to have one small cable news network that dares to offer an alternative point of view.
Did I miss something? I though Massachusetts was the heart of leftie gay anal activity in the USA? There’s more chance of finding a straight male beeboid than a Republican there.
The truth is Barry Obama is a fucking wanker and the BBC are fucking vermin.
Good post and you are right. You do not get more liberal than Mass. Its Kennedy heartland and for the Rebublicans to win that Senate seat is huge. It will definitely shelve the Health bill and Obama will be very mindful of the mid terms and will see both majorities in the house and senate deminish. As for the liberal BBC well not going to waste my time. You understand!
Don’t do as I do, Do as I say
Harriet Harman’s husband Jack Dromey may benefit from feminist retreat
An outspoken advocate of all-women shortlists, Harriet Harman may, however, be pleased to hear that one Labour Party association has rejected the feminist advance.
Mandrake understands that Leyton and Wanstead, in east London, has decided to allow men to be considered as candidates for the general election.
Harman’s husband, Jack Dromey, the trade union boss, has been linked to the vacancy for the Labour-held seat.

To Annonymous.
Yes read that,well what a surprise NOT.
In my part of the world Wigan/Ince in Makerfield both MP’s are standing down,they have been given a diktat that only women will be allowed to stand.
It is causing ructions up here especially that one of the candidates is Barbra Roche a past liebour minister opinion is that liebour might parachute her in.
The natives are not happy chappies to say the least,some suggestions that they will not canvass.
Dear Sirs,
I am over-middle-aged, unemployed and broke. I am a little bit on the useless side and untrained to anything– actually, just about everything that I have ever tried to do has been a monumental cock-up. I need at least 70 grand a year to tread water and I was thinking of standing at the next election as an MP. The trouble is, I am not queer or Scottish, nor a sex-pest, I have no criminal record, no rich Arab or Russian friends or have ever engaged in shoddy property deals. I like to go through life with a degree of honesty.
Could anyone please recommend a suitable political party?
