Gordon’s Million Pound Face Saver Backfires
Sir Thomas Legg will report on Tuesday the long awaited results of his audit of MPs expenses. Right about now Members are opening letters revealing whether their appeals against Legg’s stringent payback requests have failed or not. Someone who has read the report told the Standard that it is a “brutal … unexploded bomb”. Not only will over three hundred of the troughing piggies be slammed on Tuesday, but Legg also goes after the officials who allowed the pocket lining to continue without raising eyebrows. Great news.
The decision to bring in Legg was a rushed one taken by Downing Street at the height of the expenses scandal and it has come back to bite Gordon. Not only was he himself ordered to pay back over twelve grand but his measure designed to restore faith in Parliament has come full circle and in the end will reopen the expenses scandal, reignite all that hate and anger, with less than one hundred days until the election.
Another great tactical move from the bunker.
Will someone PLEASE tell me where Gordons first home is?
Gordon’s first home was a Jackals anus
Thomas Legg doesn’t want to be going for a walk near any woods.
“Thomas Legg doesn’t want to be going for a walk near any woods”.
You can’t see the woods for the treason!
Don’t anyone nick that by the way, it’s my paper on DDK – a nifty title don’t ya think?
It’s shit and ordinary Trev.
Don’t give up the day job.
nice 1 you should be on telly
Very good Sir Trev!
Walk near Tiger, is this an MPs sex scandal as well?!!
The State isn’t the problem, it is who controls (whistle) the State.
The entire analogy relies on a lot of compliant members to take part while it only takes a referee to change the game.
Osborne, Cameron, Brown, Mandleson have all been ‘guests’ of Nathan Rothschild.
As long as Nathan has the whistle, we have no chance of having a good State.
Sure, if we end up with a Nationalistic Government looking out for the Nation’s interests instead of Bank interests, Rothschild would seek to pariah us with the help of the combined EU.
And hypothetically, a Libertarian Gov’t would roll back the State to the bare necessities, thus inviting a quick and easy takeover. It would return to Nathan within six months without a shot fired. Or worse, some Mad-Max militia.
New fathers to get six months paternity leave
New dads will get the right to take six months’ paternity leave. Ministers will today press ahead with the plan, which was delayed because of the economic downturn.
Around 400,000 men a year will qualify for the extension, which comes into force from April next year.
Business leaders have raised concerns about the impact on firms still recovering from the recession.
Currently, they can take two weeks off after having a child and about 60% of eligible men take up the offer. Essentially, the reforms mean parents will be able to decide how to divide up a total of 12 months of parental leave.
A mother going back to work after six months off will be able to transfer the rest of her leave to her partner.
Fathers, as it is under existing rules, will not be entitled to full pay but the statutory rate of £123.06 a week – or 90% of your wage if that is less – up to the 39th week cut-off period for women. After this, leave is unpaid.
Ministers argue the move will help to break Britain’s ‘macho’ culture of men working through children’s early lives. But the plans have dismayed small business leaders, who say extended rights for working fathers will be disruptive.
Small firms argue there is little prospect of them returning to full health by 2011 and claim the new system will be a ‘nightmare’ to administrate.
Two thirds of employers questioned in one survey said new paternity rights could cause them ’some’ or ‘ significant’ difficulties.
Stephen Alambritis, of the Federation of Small Businesses, said last night: ‘These are difficult times. We need to be concentrating on stimulating the economy rather than bringing in new legislation.
‘Small businesses will want all hands to the pump, and having one out of a workforce of four off means a quarter of your staff being out of action.
‘There should be a reality check and small firms, which have special, personal relationships with employees, allowed to sort things out for themselves. A prescriptive approach doesn’t work.’
Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) is paid for one or two consecutive weeks. The current rate is £123.06 a week or 90 per cent of your average weekly earnings, if that is less.
•
There is particular concern over who will be responsible for policing the system. Documents suggest new fathers are to be allowed to sign themselves off for six months’ paternity leave with no eligibility checks by the Government.
They should be entitled to take the time off only if their wife or partner has gone back to work. But the fine print reveals that no official checks will be made with the mother’s employer.
Instead, employees will be able to ’self-certify’ that they are eligible, prompting fears that firms could be conned by men whose partners have not really returned to employment.
Small firms will be able to reclaim 100% of the money they pay, but larger firms will
get 92% back. Government sources say expert assessments suggest the cost to business of the reform will be ‘negligible’.
However, earlier this year it emerged that the flexible parental leave plan – part of Labour’s manifesto at the next election – had been shelved by Lord Mandelson because of concern about the impact on firms. His Business and Enterprise Department admitted the proposals had been a casualty of cost- cutting due to the recession.
Equality campaigners and union leaders were infuriated by the move and Labour’s deputy leader Harriet Harman led a Cabinet battle to reverse it.
ITS FUCKING MADNESS
This encourages the few Patels that do have jobs to just go out and have a dozen kids.
When will you Liebore trolls learn that
which is why as, Guido so rightly says, this is bad news for just Gordoom and no-one else
As QE is stopped, as inflation kicks in, as interest rates are forced up to combat double digit inflation. Then the Labour Party kicks small business in the Bollox.

Like Employers need to try and cover for men and women away on ‘Baby Leave’.
Ever been to dentist, an accountant, or seen their parents working all hours in the rag trade or running a corner shop? Your pointless racial slur is also lacking in factual foundation. To misquote Homer Simpson: ‘It isn’t funny because it isn’t true’
21, all the Patels I know have jobs. Do you?
Personally I think it is enough for the father to be present at the child’s conception, without hanging around the cradle after the infant is born. Going out and earning money is the best way to support the child.
That’s why Labour want people to do the opposite!
The destruction of this country is their sole goal (apart from personal enrichment on the way).
droll
That’s why the bankers want people to do the opposite!
The destruction of this country is their sole goal (apart from personal enrichment on the way).
Nope sock puppet. Personal Enrichment is their sole goal. There’s nothing wrong with that IF THEIR HONEST ABOUT it.
It’s why the government needs to regulate reserves properly (i.e. regulate their currency monopoly) and not lower them in order to pretend a recession is over to extort more transfer taxation, and lower house affordability.
“Government sources say expert assessments suggest the cost to business of the reform will be ‘negligible’.”
Priceless. So if I lose one of my most experienced and productive employees for six months, the cost to my business will be “negligible”, will it?
Maybe these “government sources” might tell me how I go about replacing this employee for six months at a “negligible” cost?
Wot you need is a copy of the book wot the Treasury have – stay loose, keep calm – its OK to make mistakes and leave it all for tomorrow.
easy you get one of jobless 18-25 yr olds i`m sure Gordo has found a “training course” that will suit your needs
People do not have skills. That is a key aspect of Labour policy. Everyone is the same. To be skilled to to think that you are different; you are not allowed to be different, so you are not allowed to have skills. Anyone can do anyone else’s job.
Therefore you don’t have a problem. The skills of your workers are nothing but a Conservative Lie. Once you accept that, you can get anyone off the street to do any job.
I’m off to be a surgeon next week – they think they are so special, but I know different.
New labour ‘ll do anything to get a few extra votes.
Well they certainly have mine
Quickies now available. £20.
13 – It’s not just “FUCKING MADNESS IT’S NEW LABOUR MARXIST DESTROY THE ECONOMY FUCKING MADNESS”.
Shouldn’t that be “Marx and Engels’ Fucking Madness”?
‘Marx and Engles’ still taught at all educational establishments by half-baked socialist academics.If anything in this world could provoke me to book burning, its this drivel. The Luftwaffe caused less damage to the people and business of this country.
This is great news for those of us who can’t work because we are so bloody old. It evens the score a bit. While it is already the case that small firms are understandably reluctant to employ women of child bearing age, there is now a leveling of the playing field for us old, non breeding males.
Never mind maternity/paterinty leave, breeders should be fined for overcrowding and polluting the planet. Fined heavily.
Who are you calling too old to breed.Cheeky bugger…
I’m sure China, India and eastern Europe well be well pleased with this, more work coming there way.
Their way. No wonder the jobs go east.
So now job interviews will contain the question…”do you have children” and “are you thinking of having any more?”
Then your form goes in the bin.
Kids, if you can fuck for em you should feed em and finance em, not land the bill on others.
What a gift to the contracting market.
Sir Thomas Legg says:
SO much funnier without the canned laughter. Stood at a masterpiece before…
How dare you?
I was great at being a Number Two
But now you haven’t got a Legg to stand on.
Gordon you’ve presided over the two biggest busts of all time and you’re generally an S&P Double D i.e A complete tit.
What about doing a number 2?
Has Gordon always done that funny thing with his mouth, where he sort of half chews and swallows but does not, and his lower jaw does an odd dance?
Did he do this in the 1990s too? Or is it a more recent development?
Any you tube clips? Is it just that we all hate him so much now that we notice, or is it the result of stress/paranoia/madness/medication?
Broadmoor?
His mothers Arse !
That’s what I would like to know.
Planet Zog?
Isn’t Gordon’s first home the one with his Sky Sports package we’re forced to pay for? Or is it his second home that has it, or the third, or all three?
I’m not going to get excited. Nothing will keep these corrupt lying bastards down.
Do you want to bet?
You ain’t seen my cattle grid. Them troughers will never get out.
As I said before, I was always a better Number 2.
That’s why the whole country is in the doggie-do.
This sort of thing brings to mind the epic hit Dont stand Colostomy!
Mr Gordo Gollums Cycleclips McRuin-Broone is certainly a chap who believes in his own ‘Righteousness’. Did he learn this from the Sainted and Much Loved and Esteemed St Teflon De B’Liar….. or is it just all so much Neues Arbeits bullshite….?
Please submit replies on a postcard and send to Numero Dix Klowning Strasse London
Gordon is never first home, Sarah sees to that. She has to keep his dummy and chocolate digestive ready for him.
Gordo’s first home? He’s kipping up with Tolly Poynbee.
Well I fucking told you the bastards would get away with it
Two MPs who lodged appeals against demands to pay back expenses have had their appeals upheld.
With some 80 MPs due to hear if they were successful, Lib Dem Jeremy Browne has learned he will not have to return nearly £18,000 he was told to repay.
The Taunton MP contested auditor Sir Thomas Legg’s ruling on claims for mortgage interest on his second home.
Labour’s Ann Cryer also won her appeal against a “substantial demand” but will repay £1,600 for three household items.
Sir Paul Kennedy, who was appointed to hear appeals, said Mr Browne acted “openly and honestly” when making his claim.
Mr Browne said he felt relieved and vindicated, but “not elated”.
He was the first of the 80 MPs who challenged Sir Thomas’s requests to repay money to make the results of his appeal public.
Labour’s Frank Cook, Frank Field and Patrick Hall and Tory Bernard Jenkin are also among those known to have appealed since the orders were made in October.
What an prick he is.
Guido,
Sorry off topic………..but couldn’t help noticing that link you posted:

Is this the Armageddon scenario about to unravel on the UK economy????!!
‘kin hell.
Absolutely positively undoubtably not, Gordon Brown has saved the worlds economy and Im damn sure he will save ours.
Remember it all started in the 1980s with Thatcher. It all started in America.
Anyone who says otherwise is no different will have mandlebums wandering hands to del with. About the anus parts probably.
I apologise for the awful spelling and rubbish typing in the above reply. I went to school in the 1980s, you know, when Thatcher was PM. Its all her fault. In the 1980s. When the tories ran things.
Looks like S&P weren’t willing to fire the bullet that killed Gordon:
“London equities turned lower in late afternoon trade on Thursday after ratings agency Standard & Poor’s said it no longer classified the UK banking system as among the most stable and low risk.
Having spent much of the session higher thanks to rallying banks and miners, the FTSE 100 turned lower after the report and appeared to be heading for its sixth day of losses in the past seven trading sessions.
Marc Ostwald at Monument Securities believed the move by S&P was more a reflection of its opinion on the UK as a whole.
“Rather than making the much harsher, but politically very unacceptable decision to put the UK on outlook negative, they pick on the banking system,” he said.
The FTSE 100 fell 71.7 points, or 1.4 per cent, to 5,145.74, undermined also by a weaker start on Wall Street.
S&P remarked that the report was not new, and that newswires had published flashes from a report that had been published previously.
Nevertheless, sterling’s immediate reaction was to drop a cent against the dollar, while the yield on the 10-year gilt jumped 6 basis points to 3.93 following the S&P comments.”
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2a091932-0be5-11df-96b9-00144feabdc0,s01=1.html
That just cost us 120 million in extra interest this year.
200 Billion * 0.06%
But hold on, that’s this year’s borrowings, are total borrowing is much higher, so you would have to multiply the interest rate increase by that to get the real figure it has cost us.
What’s the betting that doesn’t turn up on Pravda to ruin the “the recession’s over, it’s party time” love-in ?
Nor the times ,telegraph or Mail as I can see…
BBC “report”.

Fuck it, I’ll just get bladdered on Victory Gin and go and find a prole to shag.
You think this bunch of authoritarian hoons will let you have a gin?
Holy fucking Allah (praise be upon him)! Gordon Brown has fucked this country for 25 years. Somebody call an election and an ambulance for the nutter while you’re at it!
Ideally an ambulance with a gibbet.
Even better, just call an election and a chippy to build the gibbet outside 10 Downing St. to remind the next occupant….
Tch! tch! tch!
Be frugal dear boy – LAMP POSTS! – they’re already in situ – and you can hoist the f uckers up higher. (Ask our brethren in such organisations as . . . . but political correctness ordains I remain hush in that area)
I still favour cranes. With the recession there’s not a huge amount of work for ‘em at the minute anyway.
Mebbe we could get one of those monsters out of Dubai now that they’re bank*upt
Don’t forget pylons, or the cables between ‘em. Nice and high, too, for max visibility.
Whimperer – NOW YOU ARE TALKING !!!
Yes – let the bastards swing high – illuminated by all that ‘green’ (sic) electricity from the wind farms an’ that. Poetic.
Would them as strung em up need that bit of paper though? – to say they’re electrically ‘qualified’ ?
It will never happen, the HSE will do a risk assessment and cancel proceedings.
You could do three at a time on a wind turbine.
Hang the HSE blokes first. Problem solved.
@concretepump – maybe one from each party, to keep the turbine ‘balanced’?
hope the gold is safe Guido
Hush!
Fawkes is keeping shtoom on that particular element these days.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it gets added to the automodded naughty words along with tungsten. ;o
Fawkes is also sensoring like fuck tonight. He’s like a new labour spad who’s just got his 1st department. Or a cocker spaniel finding his first drug find, if you will.
Shame Legg can’t take over from Chilcot. Might establish the truth or near truth.
The truth has been established,the Iraq War was illegal and incompetently managed.Blair’s act tomorrow can’t change this.
Don’t bet on it. There was a lot of grudging admiration in the press for Ali C’s risible but predictably robust defence of his war-mongering. Blair will be the same ‘I am proud…’, ‘The British people should be proud to have removed such a ruthless dictator….’, ‘It was the right thing to do…’, ‘I would do the same thing again…’
You’ll not put that fucker on the back foot. Followed by a bit of glad-handing and bonhomie and the chimps will be eating out of his hand again.
Just you watch.
Jgm2. Would you do me a favour and state the bleeding obvious? Oh you already have. Oh, you also do so with every fucking comment. Sorry.
Ok. How about you pretend to be the fucking know-it-all pub bore that everyone except the all day drinkers avoid? Oh…..
Fuck your moderation Fawkes. I’m off to post abuse on Old Holborns non-Stasi-like blog. At least he can take some stick. You fat wanker.
The Dutch inquiry thought the Iraq war was illegal.
There was also a little piece of Dutch soil designated for the Scottish judicial system to operate the Lockerbie trial in Holland. Perhaps a little piece of Scotland couldd be used to bring the Dutch legal system to the UK.
Fife sounds like a nice location.
Elegant. Liking the cut of your jib.
I would only watch if the hoon was hanging on one of those wind turbines with McTurd and Balls
JGM2.
I fucking well hope not,maybe,just maybe he might get the killer question.
As for that twat Campbell his level is like his porno the absolute pits.
woolas said yesterday it was legal under uk law (international law don`t matter then)so sue us if you ain`t happy you couldn`t make it up PRICELESS
Perhaps tomorrow he’ll call the election having “saved” the economy and northern ireland…. and not trying to cover up this and blair (and himself) at the iraq inquiry… no not that at all.
Ahh yes, I’d almost forgotten it was New Liebour who thought Sept 11th was “a good day to bury bad news”.
How could you.
I’ll do anything for £40.
They could at least wait until I’m dead.
Hate to tell you BN, as soon as you’ve gone another 3 slightly different versions of you arrive, and so on
Turned out nice again
Sir George, you are a very droll fellow and of course you are quite right. We need an antidote to gloom here, and you are it.
Yes George we need your ukelele.
Perhaps you could bring your Uke along to the meeting tomorrow George so that you can serenade Tony with Oh Mr Woo?
“Hanging from the lampost on the corner of the street/When a certain little lady goes by/Oh me, oh my.” Seditious, moi? No, just angling for the low-hanging jokes.
Fantastic news. Let’s hope that Labour come off worst. The greater the margin of their loss in the next GE, the better.
The BBC will make sure that the Tories come off worse. Duck pond, duck pont, duck pond, moat.
There will be no mention of p*rn, bathplugs or bell-towers. Although they might mention belltowers in the context of ‘former Tory MP’.
To borrow from the speed campaign..
‘It’s 30% for a reason’.
Absent the BBC cheerleading this imbecile government to the rafters 24/7 they’d be looking at third party status by now.
Bulllllllshit.
I’ll fucking beat you to death with a skinny bamboo cane. Prick.
Maybe if we can’t hang or Jail the buggers for Treason we can at least jail a few of ‘em for expenses fraud – in the end the only way they could ‘get’ Al Capone was on tax charges – but at least he did some time.
Not just great news but if something actually comes of it, it makes it fantastic news.
I really hope he shafts them like they have shafted we the people.
For an option to the corrupt politics of today, demand “True Democracy in the UK” from your political representative, MP or local councillor.
Sir Cristopher Kelly (salary 107,000 pounds plus) has already ordered the whitewash Guido – Nothing to see here move along now…
On DP they said that next Thurs Legg is going to announce which kunts have been hiring Palace of Westminster rooms / suites / halls for their business interests & NEDs.
The Tories will be worried. There’s a lot more to come.
I think Dali does julie etchinham’s lip stick,
“Another great tactical move from the bunker.”
We’re relying on his tactical genius.
In a strange sort of way, you have to admire the sheer stupidity of these people. However, it makes our lives’ easier as we no longer have to work at pointing out how dishonest and corrupt they are – they’re doing it all for us!
Fascinating how ’slippery Jack’ is morphing into the arch nemesis of his people, H.einrich H.immler!
Not just in physical appearance but in behaviour too.
http://www.echobasetoys.com/More_12_inch_Stuff_Pics/DID_Pics/himmler12.jpg
No difference at all between the N.azis waging aggressive war and ‘Slippery Jack’ doing it by the back door!
Be very careful because when he slips out of uniform, leaves off the old Pince Nez in favour of contacts and into plain clothes G.estapo mode, he is more difficult to spot, but it’s the same old Marxist N.azi!
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/02/26/article-1156729-03798850000005DC-56_468×675.jpg
Also fascinating that the N.azis were only able to carry out the f.inal s.olution with the help of the German civil service, not too many resignations. In the case of Bliar and Slippery Jack, of all the civil servants who knew exactly what was going on in staging an illegal aggressive war, it seems only one, Elizabeth Wilmshurst, had the moral fibre and guts to resign!!!!!!!!!!!!
Labour-Stooge Hutton will ban this from being published for 70 years.
This is the best news of 2010, Guido! Expensegate round two!
Oink! Squeal! Woffle woffle snort! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal!!
With the majority of troughing MP’s being labour, the election should be a shoe in for Cameron after this report comes out .
However, this story, below, will push real voting tories over the edge and into the hands of UKIP.

I think its right children are taught the evils of Homophobic bullying. After all you wouldnt want your kids to bully someone for merely taunting George Micheal if/when he is next found loitering in a public loo with his pants round his ankles. Or something.
LEAVE THE HOMOPHOBES ALONE!
Homophobes are people too and should be treated with respect, EVEN, in face especially if you dont agree with their point of view.
Could somebody call time on these interfering politicians? The fuckers need to get the fuck out of our lives and earn a real living for a once. We desperately need term limits and a national, political maximum wage. I suggest £10k a year. Add £500 pa for a London/SE allowance.
They can’t, 90% havn’t any qualifications – for anything.
That’s still over £1/2m on their salaries… Think we need to cul the numbers back from the grossly over-represented 654 seats… Clearly, anybody with a seat in Westminster and a seat in some Devolved backwater (and x2 taxpayer-funded salaries) = GONE..
Then we can turn our attentions to slicing the number down to around 350 MPs.
Thing is that these b@st@rds cost on average about £5m a year to run, taking everything into account… ANY value for ALL THAT MONEY? No.
Cut ‘em down.
We haven’t strung ‘em up yet.
Heheh.. I’ll be very happy to play Gordon’s tune (on the piano wire wrapped around his neck)
I could run up 300 gibbets in the workshop by next Tuesday. I can knock them up with a bit of knotty pine for 50 quid a piece including ‘Guido’s’ discount. Or you could just chuck them in the Thames at high tide, a lot cheaper but not very good for the environment, just imagine the oil slick.
If you’re going to be tossing people in the Thames then you’re going to need padlocks, chains and breeze blocks.
jgm2 – good point the b*stards are so full of wind they’ll just float however I’m sure there’s enough volunteers to to keep a well placed foot on their heads or we could just rope them to the Thames barrier at low tide.
We only need one gibbet. Go Green recycle the scaffold 640ish times.
Alright 30 quid a piece and I’ll chuck in free installation. Now would you like them french Polished or Polyurethane Varnished?
French polish? Hmmmmm – you couldn’t knock up a guilotine could you?
Guillotine – not a problem Tungsten Carbide Tipped and I’ll chuck in a free wicker basket.
Could we not use a trebuchet with a noose?
Ok this is my final offer – Spanish Garrote kit , a piece of rope with a knot it and I’ll chuck in some freshly imported Birch from the Isle of Man, 5 quid a set.
Hello boys :-)
The B’Liar witch project betrayed the Labour party’s historical supporters. By my reckoning that puts the Cameroon’s one behind and playing catch-up.
The job of a political leader is to courageously address the problems the Country faces.
Encouraging same sex partnerships and teaching in schools that it is “acceptable”,
(It will doubtless be presented as superior to heterosexual partnerships) is going to make the demographic decay of this country far worse.
Homosexual couples are not going to have the 2.2 children necessary to replace the population. The future will belong to those societies which proscribe homosexuality.

Its something we dont seem to hear that much about, how personally corrupt the PM i with regards to his expenses. Oh, by the standards of some of them (that means YOU Smith you thieving sack of amoebic shite) its fairly minimal but I doubt any of us would get away with it. It would be called fraud or theft or something.
Anyhoo I think Gordons personal corruption is something that needs to be mentioned at every opportunity.
it will only be called corruption by the beeb if the monocular one ups his sky sports subcription to 3D………….
Is that 3d or 3p?
Fucking waste of time – you need binocular vision to see in 3D…
If it wasn’t such a serious offence one would have to be careful to not die of laughter. Stupid doing it and stupidly resoving it adds up to stupid to the second.
Guido, you should ban pseudonyms on this blog.
Why?
I agree!
ere, wots your probblim bruv
So let me get this straight Guido, Brown’s appointment of someone who does the job he is expected to do is a blunder?
What if he didnt do it, you’d slam him for appointing a whitewasher wouldn’t you?
Sorry cant have it both ways, on this one the right man got the job as all the MP’s hate him.
Brown was right to appoint Legg. Its not a blunder its in our interests and theirs longterm to clean up politics or at least be perceived to.
Normally I like this site but your getting too desperate to pan Brown just for the sake of it, you don’t like him I GET IT.
are you so thick you can’t understand Brown did this in a fit of desperation to close the story down?…….nothing to see move along, learn lessons we’ve opened an inquiry would be wrong to comment……..and now it is blowing up in his face weeks before the election. b.b..bb..brown truly has both physically and metaphorically 2D vision in a 3D world.
Ryan, what a slow coach you are.
There is nothing desperate about ‘panning’ Brown for the sake of it.
I find it extremely good fun.
Any wanker socialist will do, in fact.
D’oh, that was a bit of an epic fail eh Ryan
Nope my point still stands its not a blunder to apoint a man to do a job and then for that man to do the job well.
You counter with insults but no substance, how do you know it was his intention to bury it?
How would that benefit him at the next election? Oh wait it wouldn’t would it as the opposition would pan him for it burying it with accusations of a whitewash whilst being just as guilty. This way all three parties get a panned, its the least worst option for GB not a blunder.
If you want to pan him for the sake of it fine I dont like him and I dont care if you do but don’t pass it off as a political blunder when it isn’t.
Also I find it highly amusing how this site has become overun with people desperate to agree and tow the party line, you hate Labour and socialism then agree blindly with comments made and attack anyone personally who attempts to open up debate. How exactly are you different from the nutters on Labourlist who beleive GB is awesome at his job?
I wonder who is the slow learner those who now blindly fully the next bandwagon or those who are sceptical of both parties and anyone who posts their opinions online and claims to be holding them to account…
Gordon “Bluebeard” McRuin murdered his last g/f Prudence. Your Charity doesn’t wash, and you’re trying to tell us his new one is called Probity? Pull the other one – it’s got bells on it. And do learn succinctness.
New to the site, are you Ryan?
Couldn’t quite decipher your final paragraph but, as far as toeing the party line goes, the Tories on here are remarkably subdued. Indeed, they damn their airbrushed God’s gift with the faintest of praise.
Stick around and you’ll find that a good proportion of posters hate the very sight, sound and stench of every one of the Lib/Lab/Con scum.
As for Gordon, while it’s unkind to mock the afflicted, some creatures are beyond the pale of charitable consideration.
Absolutely albacore. I do not ‘pan’ Brown out of any need to be fashionable. I was laying into the bastard back when the rest of the country seemed to be dazzled by his bullshit and the massed ranks of the mainstream media bathed lovingly in his inompetent finananci fuckmuppetry. No, I ‘pan’ Brown because I genuinely hate him with all that I am. And yes I feel pretty much the same about the Tories and liberals too.
@ Cyco
How can something be a blunder when it doesn’t damage you disproportionately to the other options available?
@ Alabacore (First congrats on a post that makes sense and made me think)
I agree that scepticism of all three parties is the best approach. What I don’t like is the disproportunate number of pointless comments on this site which agree with Guido’s opinion without question and the fact that if you do question him you get insults rather than answers.
Look at every post bar yours to my original comment they are simply abuse at me or Brown but dont deal with my question.
Well that makes a change , one of their fuck-ups (appointment) may result in something like the truth emerging, but I wont hold my breath, Whale Shark could not handle that one.
Whale Shark? Is this like one of those ‘blind items’ the tabs run when they’re out of stories? You know ‘which yadda yadda starlet was spotted outside bla bla nightclub flashing the flesh to the papparzzi?’ (usual answer: Sarah Harding)

Come to think of it, what a learning opportunity – rubbers from latex growing on trees in the Amazon rain forest, nasty loggers, nasty nasty climate change threatening primitive tribes (scope for role play here), followed by (virtual, natch) tour of factory making johnnies on a production line and all manner of opportunity for teaching about nasty nasty capitalists stealing surplus value from the workers (more role play), how products reach the shops only after every middle man between here and the Amazon basin (get the globe out) has taken a cut (still more role play) so making the eventual price unaffordable to the people who would derive most utility from them, at which juncture, cue population control, marginal utility of growing johnnies rather than rice or chappaties, and you’re metaphorically back where you started from in one nice neat circle, which is nice for the kiddies, they like that sort of thing. And they also get to blow the johnnies up, fold them up into endangered animal shapes like polar bears, and take them home to show Mum, and maybe Dad, but then again maybe not, since if it weren’t for Dads there wouldn’t be any johnny making factories, or ships and cars, or electronic trading settement, in fact no bloody need for johnnies in the first place.
MPs lobbying links to be revealed
“One new set of information is being made public: the identities of outside groups which MPs have hired rooms for.
This is likely to get back as least as far as 2005, but will show when members have agreed to requests from companies, lobbyists and others to get them access to the Houses of Parliament. The list will be worth careful scrutiny…”
On the news, the gorgon’s going to pay to stop the Taliban being violent. What a lark! Take the money then shoot the giver in the back, what’s to stop them? Sounds a good bargain for the Talibans, and don’t forget., it’s our money the gorgon will be throwing away.

Somebody’s confusing “Investment” with “Spending” again…
Broon: “I’m just going down to the bookmakers to invest in the 3.15 at Haydock… Oh, it didn’t win… Ney matter.. It’s no my money..”
Broon: “I’m just going down the pub to invest in a skin full..”
Broon: “I’m just going down the Chippy to invest in a deep-fried, Scottish heart attack.. “
Is he to extend the scheme to the UK? Violence is my speciality.

My hair grew 0.1% over the last 3 months. Does this mean that my hairline is officially no longer receding?
Na.
it means that the recovery is weak, and might be revised downwards.

No. Pubic hair doesn’t count.

Yippeee! The Labrats look set to get their come uppance. Let us all celebrate by eating gruel. Lidl’s finest on special offer.
Outdated system supervised by medieval structure sanctioning uncontrolled avarice…own goal for all parties…but hardly suprising..until the recent revelations the basic salary would hardly make it attractive to become an MP.
Truth be told how people do you know who would put themselves up for election ? To have the right type of people in Parliament is to have them from all walks of life with broad experience…nice idea but reality being what it is in the new age u would need to be a saint to avoid being ripped apart by the media..safer to keep your head down and earn a fortune in the real world
warts and all.
The basic salary would hardly make it attractive to become an MP?
Back-benchers get £65,000 per annum. Whether they turn up or not. Ministers, shadow ministers and Committee chairmen (and there are a lot of those) get much more. It ain’t peanuts, it’s blooming generous.
Every one of them sits on at least one committee
in fact there is at least one that sits on 12
everything else related to the job is subsidised
and what isn’t they claim on expences Oh and any work that needs doing they have loads of staff to do that for them !
their salaries and more will be banked untouched !
The answer is obvious. They select MPs the same way we select jurors ie at random from the voters register. Pay the juror/MPs exactly what they were getting before. So dolies get the dole and Richard Branson gets umpty million. Nobody is any better or worse off.
Five year terms. If you don’t want the job then fuck off and we’ll get tyhe next on the list. Rotate through 20% of ‘em every year.
Equal representation (statistically) for everybody. Black, white, disabled, LGBT, whatever.
It’s obvious. And if they won’t do it for the Commons then they should certainly do it for the Lords. Get rid of the Lords and replace it with a fucking enormous jury of (say) 100.
Even better, let the MP name their salary on the voting slip.
Nice one centurion. Like it.

TONY BLAIR wearing PURPLE VELVET JUMP SUIT with BERLUSCONI
Some of you will recall earlier in the noughties ‘that’ photograph of Tony Blair meeting Berlusconi whilst on holiday when he wore what was surely the most absurd attire ever donned by a British prime minister, setting or retired.
His decision to dress like a perfumed pratt was clearly influenced of CAROL CAPLIN, the Blair’s New Age life coach/adviser.
http://www.deadbrain.co.uk/news/article_2004_03_11_3233.php
I have searched everywhere for this photograph and have failed to find it. It does seem very strange that it has apparently disppeared from public view. I would like to ask everyone if they can come up with a link to this photograph … and that includes you hacks who frequent Guido’s pages. Come on guys, earn your money. Where is this photo? T’would be good to see it pop up tomorrow, would it not?!
You know these films where the Land is ruled by an evil Monarch and his mad wife is into witchcraft, well….

Another Gordon Brown success story:
“Brown set aside £15m for the tax relief, which he hoped would “accelerate” the building of carbon-neutral homes as a key weapon in the fight against global warming. But tonight the scheme was condemned as a “shocking failure” after the Government admitted that only 24 buyers had claimed the tax break since it was introduced in October 2007 – less than one a month.”
OT but my 12-year old just brought my attention to this:

As he was having to lie his way out of confrontations with authoritarian jobsworths and their ridiculous rules to get to the next stage, I thought ‘at least it could never happen here’. His preferred method was to run for the Barrett M82 he’d previously secreted at the top of the vertical housing provision and shoot the fascist bitch.

exactly what I thought – we have to get our taxes back somehow – i#m buggered if i’m now making another Country full of welfare slackers – if this idea was so tremendous why did we not pay them in the first place?
At least when I am out there I can take a load of smack (because for some reason that never dries up) and then at least when I am off my head this will all make sense to me.
Can someone explain to me also why / when I fill my recycling clop out bucket (or i’ll be fined) does the slop get turned into gas and so I then buy it back at inflated prices?

Are you going to do something similar Guido?
Poor old bliar – he’s going to be running at a lie a minute isn’t he? I hope he feels intimidated, watched over by all those army families grieving for sons lost in his needless, underfunded, Iraq war. Snatch landrovers and all that!
I hear the families of the fallen who are attending tomorrow’s hearing have asked for a personal one to one meeting with him. I doubt he’ll have the grace or courage to grant that request.
I wonder if labour are really going to want him to campaign for them in the forthcoming election after this?
They’re going to need a bigger lie detector.
I know a good Taxidermist….
Mrs Murray has asked Downing Street to tell the one eyed mental case not to wish her son Andy good luck. In fact the request was if you do we will move to Geneva, if you feel the need to spin, please just say you wish Federer all the best of luck in his final against a British Tennis player.
I don’t think Gordon wishes to be associated with an elitist toffs sport like tennis
Too late surely? as posted earlier on GF:

let’s just print some money and give it to mps..then they can all pay back whatever they owe……then they can tell you how good they are and went into politics to help you!!!!!!

This could only happen in the UK
THE UK IS OUT OF RECESSION
THINK ABOUT THAT ONE
For another month. Beware the (downward) revisions. 300 million quid stands between you and another quarter of recession. It sounds like a lot of money until you realise it’s about half the additional debt you run up every day.
You are 15 hours of spending away from extending your record recession.
Personally I think the figure will be revised down.
And I think Q1 2010 will be negative too.
And I think you’ll dither about the election date and it will be in June. At the earliest.

This is a message to those of you who work for the labour party and are monitoring this site – give it up boys and girls you are being led by half blind and crazed donkeys; if you have any sort of self respect remaining you will resign in protest.
Your leadership should be hanging their collective heads in shame at the billions of wasted pounds and the even larger billions of debt caused by Labour’s 12 year ‘lolly scramble’. Never in the course of history has there been such gerrymandering of a democratic vote.
Fabian = Marxist.
History will Damn you all.

Why bother to vote?
Good question. My answer is: so don’t bother to vote – I don’t vote. I can imagine ten situations where it would matter but I claim that at the typical elections, it’s a spectacle. By participating you do something which is absurd activity – it’s kind of a ridiculous imitation of an activity. So the true thing would be what Samarago developed in his wonderful novel ‘Seeing’ . If the majority of voters didn’t vote, I think that paradoxically this would put whose in power under much greater power – they would no longer be covered by democracy, like don’t criticise us, we are democratically elected, and they would be under much greater press to do something – so my proposal is – don’t vote. People claim today we are not active enough. I think that on the contrary there is way too much pseudo activity. You are frantically active all the time to cover up that there is no point to all of it. So I think that non participation can work as a reinvigoration of democrac
you’re talking rubbish….’I think that on the contrary there is way too much pseudo activity’…. stick to the beano
OT. Obama indulges in a bit of stand up comedy.
People Dont vote to get someone in
they now vote to keep someone out !
As in the case of Gordon McBust
That has probably always been the case.
But how strong now is the case to keep gordon out?! Can you imagine gordon being given a real elected term in government??!!
What a nightmare scenario!!!!
I can imagine it. But aside from the collosal blow that would be to my personal wealth I would take some crumbs of solace as Brown was finaly forced (by the IMF) to take some grown-up decisions.
Labour voers may be a bit thick but they’ll understand ‘you’re broke’ and they’ll understand who broke it too. If Labour win in 2010 they will disappear without trace in a decade.
As it is the Tories will be lucky to survive this decade if they win the election. This is the most poisoned (major) economy on the planet. It is economic scorched earth. Brown has burned the crops, salted the earth, killed the cattle, covered them in deisel and tossed them down the well. Economicall speaking.
Cameron will have a world of shit on his plate (over to you Mr O) and all the time the venal, snarling pack of Labour hyenas will be spreading their poison on the BBC about how these cuts and tax-rises aren’t necessary at all. Because we (Labour) didn’t do them.
How fucking right you are jgm2.
You must be an oriface
sorry oracle
Exactly.
Better be ready for precisely that scenario.
This better be the most radical Conservative government ever.
If it is, it will be hated.
If it doesn’t it will be reviled as the government that had both the power and mandate to (attempt?) to help a country on life support.
My own view is that whatever it does, it has little chance of being re-elected four or five years hence.
A week is a long time in politics.
Labour, very very sadly WILL be back.
I don’t think they will be.
If the Tories slash public spending, abolish quangos, sack all the jobsworths in councils there’ll be no ‘devastated communities’ as in the ’80s mining villages for Labour to shroud wave at the electorate. Most of these fucks live on executive estates scattered around all over the country — they’ll probably bugger off to their second homes in the Dodoigne or Spain and that will be that.
Agreed
For my own benefit I want ZaNuLabia out as soon as possible. However, for the long-term health of my country I suspect another 5 years for this unspeakable shower of shit could kill them off as a political force for an entire generation.
Sadly, I expect Labour will be back in power by 2015.
The same thing was said by both sides in ‘52,’64,’70,’74,’79 and ‘97.
Got any new ideas?
Only the 100 or so marginals really give value for money as far as the voter’s concerned. If you, like me, live in a “safe” seat, what’s the point of toddling down to vote against the 20 thousand that regularly back the incumbent.
Because that’s how the 40 – 50% of voters in ’safe’ seats think. So they don’t bother voting. But if they all went and voted against the ’safe’ candidate then he’d get a P45.
PLUS, in this election, a lot of Labour voters are just going to sit at home on their duff rather than endorse this economy-wrecking, war-mongering shower of shits. So there will be less of the fuckers to vote against.
One man can’t make a difference vote-wise but collectively we can P45 the lot. No trouble.
But those 40-50% wouldn’t go for one candidate. They would split among different party and independant lines as the national figures predict. FPTP works fine for the established roosters that crow over Westminster.
Not at all. In the marginal constituencies the ABL voters generally know which candidate to go for to depose the sitting MP. It’s the guy was second.
Same in a ’safe’ seat. SNP, Lib Dem, Tory, whatever. It’s no secret who is second. There are very few ‘three way’ seats that risk spliiting the anti vote.
And, if I’m honest, I think even a single ’spoiler’ candidate such as ‘Real Labour’ or ‘Continuity Labour’ could pretend to be even more ‘eat the rich’ than the sitting Labour drone and work to split the Labour vote. Particularly if they ran a plausible high-profile campaign and actually went door-to-door.
But you talk only of unseating the piggie in the trough by voting for the man with the bolt gun. What’s the point of voting for destruction? One thing the Euro elections demonstrated is that everybody’s vote counts.
All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
Do your bit – cast your vote. It’s the one chance in 5 years that the ordinary joe gets to express his REAL opinion.
I am sitting here in SW London and can hear the sound of hysterical laughter from Golem and Bullingdon Davy as they read this thread. Does anyone think results will be left to chance. How many seats have Labour fixed with postal vote scams? And I used to live in Guildford where the Tory county councillor was jailed in 2004 for vote tampering. Funny how his colleagues in the same seat who also benefitted are still in place.
Kraptokin – I recognise you – Ed Balls is it?
Suggest you do a google search on Guildford and vote tampering. No good attacking others if you cannot put your own house in order.
Funny. I’ve just be reading about the US Presidential Election fiddles in 2000, 2004 and 2008. The gerrymandering and vote rigging is quite remarkable. Clearly these skills are exportable and have moved to Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Ukraine etc. That the UK should also benefit from them is natural.
Osama Bin Laden has just sent a new TV message to prove that he is still alive. He said “David Cameron was shit at Prime Ministers Question Time.” British Intelligence have dismissed it saying: it could have been recorded at anytime in the last 5 years.
Fuck off.
Presumably he said, at the same time gordo?! that he thought you were ‘inspirational, a great visionary and an amazing economist’.
Pity we in Britain see you in the clear light of day as the shallow unthinking Fool that you really are!!
Gordo is certainly an amazing economist. Balls is even more amazing.
In the same sense that Harold Shipman was an amazing doctor.
And John Prescott has an amazing intellect.
He is an amazing spokesman on environmental issues. Who elso could lecture the Chinese with such authority on the likely outcomes of building 100,000 new homes on a floodplain?
If Presser walked on the flood plain it would sink at last 20 feet! With Balls, McBroon and Harpic with him imagine the mess
Osama Bin Laden has just sent a new TV message to prove that he is still alive. He said ” I’m jacking it in, I cannot compete with Gordon”

cutting the deficiet is no1 prioity ! .Well said , right tone , make the right deal .
cant do much about spurious labour ecnomic theorists , just make sure you understand the people side of it . My own view is it is a much longer problem that the ruin/darling have so far said , as i think its systemic being covered by personal debt boom of previous years creating artifical growth .
Despite president obamas applause and the truth that he did inherit it , i did not agree with his deficet cutting ideas , although the bank changes look sensible and attempt to secure stable investments and change the way commercial investment runs . To me he hasnt aknowledged the need to stop spending , to stabilise it .
We all know Lie-Bores core vote is the “Benifit Classes”

as with all Lie-Bore plans they are not thought out
in this case who is going to pay the fucking taxes to fund the benefits ?
Just had the discussion with my kid regarding economics, uk tax take and those odious bankers/.
Went like this:
Banker earns 5% of £20M revenue for his employer.
He earns £1M for this and pays almost £0.5M tax.
His company pays £5M plus taxes to UK
Labour taxes him 50% … so he goes to work for a Swiss bank.
He makes £20M (equiv) , earns £1M and pays 20% tax
His company makes the same after tax even though the base costs of operation are so much more.
His standard and quality of life is much improved.
question: Who loses ????
There is one downside for the banker. As Orson Welles said (playing Harry Lime) “The Swiss have had peace for 1000 years and what do they have to show for it? The cuckoo clock”. I work with them on some things and their reputation for blandness is well deserved. The other downside is they are the only country I know with truly institutionalised racism. If you are non-Swiss living in Switzerland you pay more for the same services such as insurance – and its all legal.
Surely bland people are less of an insurance risk
Generally yes – but in the case of the Swiss I keep getting visions of blood, guns and swords…….
What about Swiss rolls?

You really shouldn’t believe everything you read in the Sun.
Just 24 homebuyers have taken advantage of a high-profile scheme devised by Gordon Brown to encourage the construction of environmentally-friendly houses across the country.

hat tip Oracle January 28th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
The reason is simple. Environmentally friendly homes are bought by eco-luvvies. Eco-luvvies are vegetarian. One side effect of a vegetarian diet is appalling flatulence. Would you want them as neighbours?
Could they harness the flatulence to power the eco-home?
Jolly Wheeze!
‘Gay’ Gordon wants to pay the Taliban expenses to be nicer, behave themselves and not kill and mutilate quite so many people. How much of this Danegeld is to be channelled back to the oaf that had the idea is not yet clear.
And DC’s response on this will be very interesting. I have as many doubts as anyone but the biggest lobby for this policy is the armed forces. Will DC dare to say they are wrong?
Will he fuck!
This place really is full of dull people and dull comments when Guido is in moderation mode. Just another blog. Presumably the ad men have had a word….
Ah well, who cares I’m off to the pub.
DIVERSION TACTICS ?
THE story of the week is T BLiar’s evidence tomorrow.
So how many media stories are leading with this tonight and tomorrow morning ?
Chilcott has enough evidence to box him into a corner and pin the blame squarely and fairly around his oily shoulders.
Whitewash anyone ?
Another good day to Bury Bad News !
And what has Bad News Osborne done to you? Burial alive seems a bit harsh even for Georgie.
I find hope in this recent High Court decision to charge retrospective taxes:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8484955.stm
Whilst I have sympathy with those who are affected (Sue your advisers), retrospective justice is a new and interesting concept.
Continuing to trade when knowingly insolvent is already unlawful. We also have law to surcharge local councillors who fail to budget properly.
Surely we are moving towards law which will punish Government ministers, even Prime Ministers, who are profligate with the public finances, a law which may apply retrospective financial penalties as appropriate to the crime.
I’m making myself employable and am willing to work for peanuts. To avoid high overheads,i and my compatriats are prepared to live 10 to a three bedroom house rented from a modern business man,and as we are here today gone tomorrow,have no roots to sink into the local community apart from the local Lidl’s.
Welcome to the Global Village.
Its always good to hear from the geordies.
Way ay man! They mack oos look like thay Bilderberkas.
About half past three, don’t you know.
You’ll spot me at PMQ’s pet. I’ll be the topless one in the white stillettos with me thong up me crack.
As for the enquiry forget it
Blair will get a very easy ride ,no tough questions they haven’t the balls to pin him in the corner
and they have no legal clout !
he will come out smelling of roses
and the after dinner speech bookings will start to roll in !
If those 200+ British troops killed in Afghanistan knew that eventually it would come down to paying off the enemy, would they have gone willingly to their deaths? Whilst admiring their courage and sense of duty, did they not understand that they were going into a hopeless situation backing a corrupt administration and fuedal politics that has survived far longer than our democracy? Does the British serviceman really believe that he’s making our streets safer by patrolling the IED strewn paths of Helmand, or do they go for the trip of being a warrior in a warzone? Didn’t the eventual capitulation in N Ireland not teach people a lesson in the willingness of politicians to lay down the lives of others until it’s cheaper to buy peace for votes?
Why may I ask is CMD in fucking Davros,Dave your problems are here mate never mind swanning about in some snowbound hotspot.
Get real mate the average briton is concerned with how the hell are we going to manage and they are not seeing any answers so far.
The Be an Pee and Ukip are over the moon at their luck,many votes being handed to them on a plate by your lack of balls.
For christ sake mate get a grip,given the marxist tossers you are up against you should be out of sight 13%,you are fucking having a laugh.
PMQ’s lately a fucking joke,if you cant do better than this pack it up sunshine and bow out now.
I have written to you on this subject but so far no reply,you have really disappointed me and sorry to say my vote and my families vote will really be going to the party that has Britains interests at heart and not to the Bilderbrooks who are intent on raping this land,the real pity in all of this is that the British public are not aware of what is going on to subdue them.
I hear your concerns and must emphasise that we’re all in this together,as my colleague George told us, and just because he made a slight error in overclaiming more than he should have, that mustn’t put doubt in your mind that frankly he can’t add two and two. Not that that matters to him as he’s comfortably cushioned against any recession,so he won’t shrink from upping taxes through the roof as they don’t bother us having the cross party consensus that’s sorely needed in order to raise the living standards of all MP’s.
Where is Dave in and why is he fucking Davros. If you can support this allegatin with evidence he has every chance of cornering the Dr Who vote.
Surely you meant Stavros! Tweet tweet.
you do talk some bollocks..
If Chilcott comes up trumps tomorrow, we should celebrate with a Bank Holiday…………Chilcott Day
No way, Pedro.
Nice to see “Mock the Week” posting three (yes 3!! ) jokes on Gordon Brown
Before 2010 he was a taboo subject. Now criticism has become “Googlesque”
as regards the BBC.
Have they belatedly realised they’ve been supporting the wrong side?
Taboo or not taboo, that is the question
£800.000 a year plus ex’s. That’s the fucking question,Horace.
those that surrender will be spared their job

Why the fuck is Nigel “thin boy” Lawson,Ben fucking poncy Bradshaw, Jenny gives Tongue and some bint off TV regarded as a cross section of society?
Jane Moore deserves a good piping. Dimbleby should be given his P45.
I like her , did a cracking documentary on Walsall , waste of money intercative arts centre “wouldnt the £30mn have been better spent on giving them some work”
Jenny Tong seems to have Alzheimers, the deluded menopausal hand-wringing do-gooding moron
Michael! You Batty Boy! Fancy popping a cap in my arse, or is Andrew more your jerk chicken?
What did Diane Abbot just say??
Yes what did Fatty Abbott say. Brillo looked upset. I tend to ignor her so all I heard was something about the Evening Standard.
can this man get any lower
regional news programme, 10 year old girl raising money for charity by asking celebs for best jokes. from the brown household bla bla and bla laugh laugh regional audience duly laughed. bye the way we were informed browms kids told this joke to obama and wife last year. oh how they laughed. sarah is also a twat now, discuss
Where do you live? Nirvana?
Our local news is stabbings,redundancies,corruption,closures,disasters,warnings and finally how Tiddles the cat rescued Peter the goldfish from a slow death after his bowl broke by swallowing him in one lipsmacking pounce. Over to no knickers Kate for the weather. Gusty winds expected in the valleys i understand?
Something to do with “…is it the same person…evening standard….beating up….Russian girlfriend…”. Can’t vouch for the order of words though.
oh bye the way
having already sent out the invites for election night and ordered the champagne balls major and minor mutilated before our eyes. i am now informed that boss Hogg will not be counting votes until next day, and so delaying, the coup de grace.If we accept this, and bow down to the diktat, of these nonentities, we do not deserve a vote. I want all those council service providers to provide us with a (for once) tangible result and resign the day after (joking).
Rory Bremner piece on TW was class right down to the mug n brown toast.Rod liddle ,thanks for card Diane LOL
However QT grumblings at Basildon is in part due to how Blair and co changed democracy and created the heir professional politician , Ben Bradshaw gave no answer to anything and just kept smiling as Lord Lawson tried to shape his thoughts CW however was at the point of rage on how he answered “broken britain ” question and same goes for lib dem peer . The answers went round perceptions , which the left accuse the right of stoking .As Ben went along his oily answer CW was thinking Ben spends too much time at BBc banquets and parties playing champagne socialism charades and not looking out of the ministerial car window . The idea that poverty is resolved with money and a lefty scoial worker and free internet, sums up bens benefit to society for me . The recent case of an elderly woman who became uncncious before giving evidence against one of the boys linked with the suicide of a woman and special needs child , where they had hounded this womans life to depression and sucide , says alot about ben ,in that what he believes as being supporting society and those leading dysfunctional lives , have somehow been created by someone else , it was as though he never did believe in problems only in solutions . Does ben ever contemplate that labour have so eroded peronal responsibilty , that large numbers are out of reach of educating them back into good ways of life , special measures, special schools , child detention facilities , are sending a deep society signal out , that there are now children and families with no basic code of civil life or even desire to live one. State fear is simply not a good enough control on dysfunctionality and keeping stats down .
Kids in gangs , kids with guns at what point does ben admitt somthing is a bit wrong , gorillaz dark song , sunshine in bag , Es are good , yeah ben good ideas make drug mental alterations , liberating , never mind any effect that they go paranoid or physcotic and them have to live on sedatives and alcohol.
I put it this way a working class female aqaintence , i knew was so terrified 6 months after the tied trainers went over the telephone wires on the next street , in part due the smack soaked zombie nutters she kept meeting at the local shops , it changed the whole neighbourhood , gradually sheds started getting looted , occasional nicked car would be screaming around at 1 am , there were two attempts on taking shop till , going out in the dark was risky .
So next time when bens wiping his grade A snort at a posh party , he should think about those kids doing what they like down on the sink estate , see if thinks its not broken after a fortnight on one of them . Go on ben talk to then and make there minds better , and if you cant just resign and stop pedalling cut and paste fake docudrama about what its like to live in some of the communites you have created .
Harry Brown has a better solution to broken Britain than Gordon.
I see you’ve finished with the freelancing and have returned to a steady position.
P.S My bins full of toadstools. How do you know that?
Because there’s not mushroom inside.
Bradshaw’s a born tosser..slimey creep comes out of same training school as edbut, yvette, harpic, mandacious,comical ali, et al…all comfortably orchestrated by the great leader
“great leader” should be in these. “….” History might miss the irony, don’t you know
like all Labour, Ben Bradshaw would benefit from living amongst his core voters
Brother just laid off after 40 years of employment and paying taxes. Raised his family, he has no criminal convictions, receives 60 quid a week to live off.
Taliban Terrorist dedicated to killing British Soldiers – will receive job opportunities, cash, land and retraining.
Don’t these f–king idiots know that they will just take the money and run. FFS go and live with these people, understand their culture, don’t credit them with the same thought process as the modern world. They exist now as they did 500 years ago, the only difference is we have given them improved weaponry.
You forgot to mention…. housing !!
Just as we paid for new housing for the Albanians in Kosovo after the 1999 war…….
sorry to hear about your brother.
We in this country are stark raving nuts. Totally mad. Why do we put up with this rubbish? Why is it so taboo to suggest that funding all the ethnics who chose not to conform to our way of life need to be protected, sheltered, funded, given special treatment and additional benefits (whatever they may be).
I’m getting absolutely sick of this. Old people having paid all their lives into a system they were promised would look after them live on air. Workers of all ages, colours, backgrounds get takex into oblivion. All scroungers, immigrants, travellers etc are given by and large protection whilst they work the black economy.
Why don’t the Conservatives highlight this?
Seconded
Today there is a Party Political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party featuring for some 6 hours the supervising architect of New Labour.
I’m afraid there’s unlikely to be any “Come Uppance” for “Straight Sorta Guy” Tony to-day or any other day. He’ll give his usual sincere – “I did what I thought was right even though the majority of the electorate thought I was wrong and I’d do it again – I will answer to my conscience and God if I was wrong(which I wasn’t by the way) !” Act and then walk languildy away to be chauffered off to continue to make millions of spondoolicks from the mugs that elected him
another day of King Mong hosing our cash at ever increasingly random causes
in many ways I hope he gets back into number 10 as it will be the Labour voters, past and present who will pay – did you vote labour in 97?
“another day of King Mong hosing our cash at ever increasingly random causes”
Quote of the day.
Gotta be up there with “It started in America” – “It is THE right thing to do ” and that all time classic “I am just getting on with the job”
Just finished reading Peter Watt’s “Inside Out” – the scetion regarding the election that never was is an absolute classic. You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh, Brown is pyschologically incapable of being decisive about anything and then when he eventually makes a decisiion it’s invariably the wrong one.
Another amusing section is Brown’s dealings with the unions and their block vote just prior to him becoming leader. His team would go into a meeting with union bosses and tell them Brown’s requirements,the union bosses said no we want this,the team would go back to Brown who’d shout,rant and rave and then concede.His team would go back and tell the unions that ok Gordon’s agreed and they’d say no sorry we also want this as well.The team would go back to Brown who shout,rant and scream and then concede.His team would go back to the unions who’d say no sorry we forgot to say we also wanted this concession.Brown’s team would go back to Brown who’d shout,rant and scream and then concede.His team would go back to the unions etc etc etc.You get the picture.The man is a total *************** !!!!!!!!!
When faced with a difficult decision, dither, and then pick the option that will cause the most harm to myself and the government.
ALL my decisions are pure genius.
HELLO,GOOD MORNING
FUCK OFF
Thank you for that and now I am going to ask Baroness Prashar to open the questioning and then I thought we’d perhaps break for coffee at 11 am – if that’s ok ?
Who’s got the cheque for my appearance fee ??

Why wasn’t he questioned by a trained silk?
The problem is that inside the howling wilderness that exists between the ears of Brow, Hain, Darling, Milibands, B**lls, Harman, etc., these ideas seem really rather good.
It is only when they release them into the real world that they are seen as the dangerous, disastrous things that they are.
That was a party political broadcast on behalf of the Conservative party. Next on BBC1, Alan Duncan on living on a shoestring. This program contains images of conspicuous expense troughing therefore viewers of a taxpaying disposition should retune to Yes Prime Minister for a more acceptable vision of politics.
What’s happend to oily bag man Alan?
Disappeared?
