Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”
Would you buy a used car from this man?
Poor Darling, having to lie for Gordon on a daily basis.
Pitiful.
You could see at the beginning he was very ashamed. He’s got more sanguine about it though.
Shame.
Brown, by contrast, is so far deep in lies that he has no clue what the truth is any more. just says the first thing that comes into his head. Even if it completely contradicts something he said five minutes ago. There is only the ‘now’ lie.
You can tell when Darling is lying because he raises his eyebrows, as if by doing so his lie becomes more believable.
Brown on the other hand is a habitual liar. Every time that c’unt opens his mouth he spouts a lie.
Who needs lie detectors FFS?!
Gordon always gets it in the neck from the ungrateful people on this site. He’s at it day and night sweating buckets for the nation.
Ungrateful bastards.
Maybe if he stopped doing things “for” us we’d be grateful.
Cocaine Dave and his crazed cuts?
What about Beserker Brown and his Bonkers borrowing. Eh?
Is it me but does darling look like a Thunderbirds puppet? Broon looks like one of the baddies in Stingray.

Fucking hell!
No, you can tell when Darling is lying, his eye blink rate shoots up, as it does for most of this interview with Paxman recently. It’s actually quite unnerving to watch.
You can tell when Darling is lying, it’s when he flares his nostrils, Blair waves his hands about, the gorgon goes red and loses control of his jaw, and Alistair Campbell blinks.
Darlings always been a Liar but he bored everyone to death so few noticed as they weren’t listening.
Since the Conservatives have now fucked up their spending cuts ‘policy’ Porker Pickles will be wheeled out to bumble and splutter foolishly again.
Douglas Murray also didn’t care how fucking wrong he was on Iraq.
I expect his message to Bad Al Campbell would be praising his Iraq Spin and his poodling up to a NeoCon fuckwit like Bush.
The Tories are in a blind funk – it all seemed so easy, just jack up the “Green Taxes” and maybe invent a new one or two.
Now that the whole AGW scam is unravelling faster than a Brown Budget, “Green Taxes” are no longer the easy, unarguable, solution.
Come May, and the next GE, the whole AGW/MMCC scam will be so discreditted that vox populi will be demanding fuel tax reductions and an end to green chicanery.
Quite happy for a reduction in the ‘straight-to-landfill’ paperwork/reports that these muppets produce by the tonne every day.
In fact, we are WE paying for the Houses of Parliament to be lit up like a Christmas tree every day of the year?..
If you’re serious about GreenHouse gasses and waste, get your own house in order (and stop spending millions of £s on stupid television advertisements)!
I’ll light it up for free.
Meet me, November 5th
Did Darling let rip with a wet one at 28 seconds in?
The cnut is shitting it.
The Conservative Party has committed itself to INCREASING TAXES on road and air transport under the guise of “green (pixie dust) taxes” — which will inevitably result in a rise in the cost of living and inflation.
Anyone see a difference between Labour and the Tories?
Both try and sell the same lie to you, both want our democracy to be swallowed by the EU and both want to murder and invade foriegn lands that they do not control, both want mass immigration making your vote worthless and both back postal votes making critical elections easy to rigg, both send their top scum to the communist purpose vetting agency.
and you say Gordon is insane?
Time you pulled yourself away from xfactor and took a long hard look in the mirror.
You see, YOU are the problem, YOU keep voting them in and pretty soon YOU will be irrelevant, we are in the last days of democracy.
and we all know where that leads!
If you could only see my husband the way I see him, working day and night to help the ordinary people of this country. He is my hero and some day you will regret saying all those horrible things about him.
K-KRAWWWKK!! OOZEAPRETTYBOYZEN!!! (squint) AAAWWWWKKK!!! (flapflapflap)
I may feel shame at mocking the afflicted but it’ll be a long time before I forget the visceral hatred Labour has generated within my breast for what it’s done to my country.
(Adapted from ‘Cabaret’ Kander/Ebb)
If you could see him through my eyes
He wouldn’t look [hisses] BONKERS at all
I agree although he is a LIEBOUR PUPPET you do get the imperssion he is not comfortable with the bullshit and the lies ala cod eye Balls, Cooper,Bradshaw & Mandelbum i`m free and who`s that pratt at the treasury Liam whoever does anyone know god he can spout SHIT for Britain that bloke a chip of the cod block that one is
I’m actually starting to feel a little sympathetic towards Alastair. After all he has never had any authority whatsoever to do his job and he knows what happens when Gordon McThug decides ‘time’s up’. Suddenly all sorts of trivial pursuits are off the agenda, especially a walk in the countryside…
O/T Gordon on standby to fly to NI, thats another PMQs missed
It’s the right thing to do.
Evade another one and the whole ‘economy only growing by 300 million quid after pissing away 300bn quid’ embarrassment can be conveniently forgotten.
Mn / Bn. Is there a difference ?
Cheers Gordon

civil war by the weekend
Yes please!
Daily Politics presenter Andrew Neil ambushed a New Labour MP over Peter Mandelson’s fairy tale £11Bn of cuts they say the Tories would make in the first year (if only).
Peter Mandelson on what New Labour will do to sort the UK economy, or rather, let’s attach the Tories instead, because New Labour hasn’t a f-ing clue as to what to do to sort out their own mess.
Yeh the TWAT knocks call me Dave for the airbrushing look at slap he`s got on especially the Touche eclait what a tosser
“Spending under Labour, cuts under the Tories..”
Quite happy for fools to spend and waste their own money however they choose; I’m rather pissed off though when you hold a gun to my head, steal my wallet, and then piss MY MONEY away..
The fking idiot! “Taking money out of the economy”?! WTF does he think taxes do?! I mean, FFS! Regressive Taxation is the brake that drags everything back, slows everything down, causes the economic engine to stall.
Quite happy for you to do some ‘Keynesian spending’ using the money you’d put aside in the good times. But you didn’t put any aside – you were already leveraged up to your eyeballs in the Debt-Fuelled Boom of your own making.
Fking Idiot!
Mandlbore is under the illusion that anyone is listening to the peurile garbage coming out of his mouth anymore.
Dear Peter,
You have been rumbled, the new liebor spin and lies dont work so FUCK OFF!

Enemies Of Free Speech Call For Internet Licensing
Calls to introduce a licensing system to police the Internet on behalf of a powerful UN agency represent the latest salvo in a long-running battle to kill free speech on the web and bring an end to the powerful digital democracy that has devastated the carbon tax agenda of the UN by exposing the Climategate scandal.

You think Guido really gives a shit about British politics and our freedoms?
WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE OF THIS?
You must be on planet tofu.
Still carry on with your daily distraction of pointless gossip as your democracy is destroyed.
I would buy all sorts of stuff off Labour, they don’t appear to have a clue about the true value of anything
That is very true, and no better example than when Brown thought our nation’s gold was only worth peanuts.
we would have been better off with some magic beans.
I thought that’s what we already had…..
You know, it’s very strange but there were naughty rumours that gold in Fort Knox and the Bank of England consisted largely of gold-plated tungsten.
The really strange part, though, is that nobody’s come on here yelling “conspiracy theory” or “tinfoil hats” or etc., no matter how many times it’s been mooted.
No tinfoil hats – more aluminium saucepans.
In a world where the foundations of Capitalism have been rocked by the disastrous repackaging of bad debt (liars’ loans, mortgages to people who can barely stay in work..) there has been a flight to the time-tested ‘store of value’ represented by gold.
Undermine that, and Brown’s swapping of our gold reserves for beans, magic or not, seems rather well-advised.
Watch the Skies!
Albacore; fairly confident that this is a time bomb with a long fuse, when the PRC demand recompense Gordo will be long gone, and if Labour in power at the time, it will turn out to be ‘Thatcher the milk snatchers’ fault or before GE?
Albacore
Gold is no longer the standard, hence Gordon flogged ours.
Why do you think the state issues you with a birth certificate?
It’s worth money. Think of all the taxes you’ll pay as long as you live.
They’re called “Government Gilts” for a very ironic reason and China has LOADS of them.
Labour LOVE immigration. All that future money to spend right now…….
That wasn’t my fault and the BBC abck me on that matter. Plus euros have gone up vs the pound which racists hate.
Be kind to Gordon, he sold half the nations gold reserves, a tangible asset, for worthless bits of paper. Just ask Argentina, Zimbabwe or the Weimar Republic how much worth paper money has.
You can print lots of worthless paper, but you can’t print gold. Therein lies New Labour’s truth to their economy, print money in an attempt to hide the economic destruction. China laughing all the way to their own banks, having bought the West’s assets because they were stupid in selling gold.
Gold? Sell it to pay for Black Lesbian drop in centres and votes
Taxpayers? Loads of them. They ain’t going nowhere.
“If I was a rich man…diddle”
Brown said we bought euros and they have gone up in value. Err at the expense of the £. He cant even make a cheap political point without being shown up for the complete incompetent bufoon he is.
Quite so. Not to mention the fact that the ‘rise’ in the the value of the Euro in no way matches the rise in the value of the gold he sold anyway. Brown’s the banks ‘diversified’ out of gold too comment later in the clip was another classic. Yes Gordo, the banks diversified into securitised junk, liar loans, ninja loans and other toxic assets and effectively bankrupted themselves, in response to which Brown blew billions of our money bailing them out, mortgaging us for generations to come.
How did a financially illiterate buffoon like Brown make it to chancellor.
@Arfur DailyMail
Brilliant repost!.. Well, statement of fact.. I’d be laughing if I weren’t hurting so much
A Labour politician told fibs about the economy?
I’m shocked…..
There are lies, damned lies and Labour statistics.
Well we lied about WMD, why can’t we lie about the economy ?
we certainly did
didn’t we George ?
no cuts today kiddies
Dire attempts from Liebour trolls again.
Pathetic weaseling from a twatty little toryboy weed again.
Where’s your cuts fuckwit ?
There will be no cuts. Cuts are deferred. The only thing supporting the pound and gilt sales is the likelihood that Cameron will win the election and that he’ll behave like an economic adult.
It is Cameron who is supporting the pound only for it to collapse anyway when Brown heaps the biggest economic clusterfuck in British history into his lap.
Far better for Cameron to suggest he’s going to be equally as fuckwitted as Brown and bring about the sterling collapse and IMF arrival right now – on Brown’s watch. Might as well have the true cause of our economic collapse identified to the 29% of imbeciles who will still vote Labour doncha think?
They’ve gone down the plughole at the centre of british politics.
do you realise how pathetic you sound trying to find any weaseling excuse to justify Dave’s fuckwittery with a ludicrous conspiracy theory ?
Brown and Dave are economic fuckwits
Deal with it
It would be funny though wouldn’t it? Dave deliberately saying he’s going to print twice as much money as Brown. The bond markets shitting their pants and pulling the plug today (on Brown’s watch) rather than in June (on Cameron’s).
It would though. Wouldn’t it.
All that money squandered to try and all that juggling with lies and misinformation to try and stumble over the election finish line and land the biggest heap of shit ever on an incoming PM and Cameron brings the whole thing forward and tips it in the Maximum Imbecile’s lap. It would be funny though.
Wouldn’t it?
And the voters would put all the blame on an economic catastrophe on Brown and forget about Dave
Exactly what happened with Bush and Obama
The voters there certainly aren’t blaming Obama for the economy are they ?
Isn’t it ?
Although looking at the lack of my monthly NS&I transfer today perhaps HMG is bank*rupt already.
It certainly should be bank*upt by now with the way it’s been pissing all that money it doesn’t have about the place.
Why they’re blaming ZerObama
http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/files/2009/04/obamadebt.jpg
fucking idiot
Yes, your right 29% – 31% in latest polls to vote Labour!!!!! What planet are they from? They clearly are the non working labour class. As Brown continues this clusterf*ck he polls increase in his favour ffs people open your eyes and start smelling the coffee.
The only Scots you can trust these days are the one’s clutching a can of strong brew and answering to the name Jimmy.
SarahBrown10 38 batteries are found in the ‘average UK household’ in TOYS ALONE!! [and 97% go to landfill - until now] according to DEFRA
http://twitter.com/sarahbrown10
Quite happy to go around your house and remove the 9Vs from your fire alarms if you like, love?
If you get “overly stimulated”, there could be a fire.
I never go down to Kent to get what I cannot get at home.
Tweet tweet
Will SOMEONE bloody well tell us more about Sarah’s bit on the side with the unnamed junior treasury minister? This little story must give the one-eyed, scrotum-faced, pathologically lying Scottish bastard a few quivers in the old cricket set. Surely?
Fucking hell! That would be pure gold!!!
Back in the day, maybe. Now just a few dented cans under the stairs.
Its probably Press clot, he’s well known for sh*gging anything with a pulse.
must be the same source for the unamed policy wonk from conservative central office who had a dalliance with Osborne
DC must be keeping Clarke in reserve in case that one hits the red tops during the campaign
Sorry Sarah I tried but the injunction failed.
The bint in Kent lives in Canterbury and is a Director of a fake charity swallowing loads of taxpayers money with Sarah as “President”.
Lesbian of course.
Did somebody call my name?
Can someone put that many batteries in a sock and swing it at the Britain’s new Ceucescus?
I’ve got an old car battery if that would help……
Should be just the ticket.
Batteries form a negligible part of household waste and mostly contain perfectly harmless materials. Only rechargeable batteries generally contain nasty stuff and then only in tiny quantities. There is no way batteries can usefully be recycled, which is why they are not recycled. This is essentially a cultist observance rather than a useful one.
The real health risk is from the new ‘green’ lightbulbs, which contain mercury, albeit not in the liquid metallic form. The correct procedure when one is broken is to open the windows and evacuate all people from the the room immediately for 15 mins. Debris should be collected up by hand and wearing gloves, followed by vacuuming – on no account use a dustpan and brush. The items should be disposed of in compliance with the manner proscribed, and not thrown into the refuse.
First, not many people know this. Second, it is useless advice – the dangerous mercury part is not going to crawl across the floor, up the wall, and out of the window. Third, anything entailing such an emergency procedure should not be anywhere near a domestic residence. Finally, what exactly is the correct manner of disposing the debris? I am quite unable to find out. Official advice to take it back to Currys or wherever (as if!) is fatuous – if it’s that dangerous when broken, it’s hardly going to be welcomed by Currys customer services.
The whole thing is redolent of imbeciles – quite apart from the cost, the unpleasant light, and other adverse health suffered by some people from them. Who can tell me exactly how many people have died from ingesting the tungsten filaments in old fashioned light bulbs, or even how many rats?
I do agree with what you say, but if this is a health hazard it should be publicised. As government want to encourage the use of low energy light bulbs it would go against the grain if their safety was compromised, particularly as all the old light bulbs have been removed from the shelves.
A much better headline would be to ban nursery children from singing songs like Ba Ba Black Sheep!
Eeny, meeny, miny mo…

Pray tell, what are you doing reading Sarah Brown’s Twatter site in the first place?
It’s the right thing to do!
Whilst DEFRA where counting the 38 batteries they should have put them in the recycling bin instead of just chucking them back into land fill.
For Fucks Sake, how many stupid c unts really believe this twatter page is written by that COW . Its a fucking team of interns you stupid bastards.
PS B4 some of you criticise me for abusing Mrs Brown , remember she started it, Gordon hides behind her and she enters the arena by her own accord.She is fair game.
Dam, we hadn’t realised, thanks for pointing this out to us, I for one didn’t realise those pesky Nu Lab Trolls posted nasty little posts on mass via a comity on this web site, thanks .
Why is anyone surprised?
He lied about his main residence for personal gain.
Being dim-witted does not mean he’s truthful.
Nope. No-one is surprised.
But note sure why you bother to discriminate – New Labour / Old Labour – it’s still still the same stinky turd with a Red Rosette plonked on the top.
JONAH !!!
He seems awfully happy to be playing with another mans (wearing shorts) ball.
best place to put the ball would be up gordon’s chuff
you seemed awfully happy to suck the cock of champion fuckwit George Bush
I think you will find that the record shows that was Tony Blair.
Brown is more an Obama worshipper. Even if the love remains unrequited.
I didn’t support the War did I ?
Cripes! I did too
So the war and all the lies that underpinned it are Cameron’s fault?
I would vote Labour if I was that stupid.
He supported it
So he was either to stupid to realise Blair was lying when most of the British public knew otherwise or he just didn’t care
Either way he’s a tit and so is anyone trying to excuse him by such an enormous clunking straw man like “the war was all Cameron’s fault”
Where did I say that shit for brains?
H.e. s.u.p.p.o.r.t.e.d. i.t.
Hasn’t that sunk in yet ?
Blair deserves to go to the Hague for being a Warcriminal along with Bush
The Heir to Blair deserves to be mocked for being such a fuckwit
Though lets face facts
The war could not have happened without the Tory Votes to ram it through the commons
So only the most lickspittle apologist would try to pretend they don’t carry some of the blame even if it was Bush and Blairs War and THEY carry the primary blame
Amazing how far some minions will go to spin the obvious into partisan bullshit
So, for clarity, when the Prime Minister, told us that the Iraqis were 45 minutes away from launching WMD you knew he was lying?
I didn’t. I thought he was referring to some shells they might have lying around a battle field. But I thought there was some bone of truth in what he was saying. And I would suggest, so did the Tories.
Who would have believed a British Labour Prime Minister would engineer a war for no reason than his own vanity and ‘place in history’?
I didn’t support the war.
Not because I thought Blair was lying but because I thought it bad form to betray a former ally like that. And I’m talking about Gulf War I.
But I can see how Labour trolls would be so desperate to try and pin the consequences of their (Labour) governments lies on the people who believed them rather than the lying liars who deceived them.
For clarity some Labour MP’s and some Conservative MPs knew he was lying and yes I and an huge chunk of the public did too
It wasn’t spun as battlefield munitions it was spun as something that could be launched like a scud and threaten other countries by Campbell and the supine press
“Who would have believed a British Labour Prime Minister would engineer a war for no reason than his own vanity and ‘place in history’?”
Anyone who watched Blairs lips moving and wasn’t fooled by all the ‘things can only get better’ bullshit, in short a huge amount of people
He was always a weasel
What part of “Blair deserves to go to the Hague for being a Warcriminal” was too subtle for you ?
I have never voted Labour but those too partisan too have an opinion of their own always parrot that feeble horseshit when they are so obviously desperate and in extremis
It was Bush and Blairs War but pretending Dave acted anything other than stupidly and just another poodling cheerleader for Iraq just won’t wash
Bush cannot end up at The Hague. Regime Change in Iraq was official US policy instigate by Bill Clinton in the late 90′s. WMD was only used as an excuse because Blair told Bush he would never get the British parliament/public to support Regime Change for the sake of it. As Britain actually lost the war in Basra and it took the US Army – and Iraqi Army – to go in and sort out the mess while the British troops sat on their asses at the airport Bush would have been better off without Blair.
Anon, you made a statement then provided no legal justification for making that statement.
Anybody who commits war crimes can be tried at the Hague.
You are under the misapprehension that US citizens cannot be tried under international law but of course they can.
Nobody is above international law. If you commit war crimes, as George Bush has done, then you will be tried and if you are found guilty you will be hanged.
Nobody is above or below international law, because there is no such thing.
No international law against torture and pre-emptive acts of aggression AC1?
You do talk some shit but that just takes the biscuit.
Exactly what is your specialist subject because it certainly isn’t Law.
Heir to Blair 5.21pm
Just remind me, what was the Labour Majority then (I know it was 66 next time round…) that it could only have been ‘rammed through’ with Tory votes?
Answer me this…
On who’s authority would they get arrested by?
If I wanted to be churlish I would demand that you stop hiding your ignorance behind silly questions and that you answer my question first.
You are clearly not a lawyer because if you were you would only ask questions you already know the answer to AC1.
Not very intelligent, are you.
A citizen’s arrest would get the ball rolling and then, just as with the Israeli war crimnals who are too afraid to visit this country because they would be arrested, the guilty party would be seen by a magistrate who would then pass the case to a higher court who would then pass the case to the Hague.
Not like the Mail to make an understatement, and be so far behind the blogosphere

Yeah, and probably chained up to a radiator.

Never mind Emily, what about the weather girl?
Hey, Eric Pickles!! I give you job as election campaign manager for opposition to my groovy and sexy Italian government!
Guido give us something meaty to comment on…this is so ‘normal’ for labour politicians we’re running out of fresh invective !
New Labour Propganda station Radio 5 are telling people if they do not allow themselves to be exposed to radiation from X-ray machines then they will not be allowed to fly.
What do the Health and Safety mob have to say about the unsafe use of radiation on air travellers?
Radiation causes cancer.
I wonder how long it will be before someone is refused treatment for cancer because they have flown too much.
This gets more and more farcical every day.
This gets more and more fascist every day.
They damn us if we do and they damn us if we don’t.
So yes, that is a perfect definition of fascist behaviour by the state.
Um not always, sometimes it is used to cure cancer.
My point, exactly.

Will the bbc run this story !!! no chance
Take a look at Stephanie Flanders’ blog on the Beeb today. I don’t know why she doesn’t just write ‘VOTE LABOUR’ and leave it at that. Could have saved herself a lot of typing.
How does this ‘journalist’ get away with trying to draw a parallel between Cameron and Richard Nixon, for example? Why didn’t her editor say something like “aw come on Steph, I know we’re all Labour luvvies around here, but this is just taking the piss!”
This attempted smear was simply because the Tories had the gall to suggest that cutting back and paying off debt might actually be a better idea than continuing to borrow vastly more than the country earns.
Mind you some of the comments on her blog are good for a laugh, such as the one by an imbecile trying to explain how we have the public sector to thank for saving us from the recession. Its worrying to think that such people are allowed out unaccompanied, never mind given the right to vote.
Better still take a look at Steph Flander’s Grandad
Francis Claud Cockburn (Peking, 12 April 1904 – 15 December 1981) was a radical British journalist controversial for communist sympathies. He was the cousin of novelist Evelyn Waugh.
The son of a British diplomat, Cockburn was born in Peking, China on 12 April 1904, and educated at Berkhamsted School, an independent boys’ boarding school in Hertfordshire, England. After obtaining a degree from Keble College, Oxford, he became a journalist with The Times. He worked as a foreign correspondent in Germany and the United States before resigning in 1933 to start his own newsletter, The Week. There is a story that during his spell as a sub-editor on The Times, Cockburn and colleagues had a competition to devise the most accurate yet boring headline. Cockburn claimed the honours with “Small Earthquake in Chile. Not many Dead.” However, this is apocryphal; no copy of The Times featuring this headline has been located.
Under the name Frank Pitcairn, Cockburn contributed to the British Communist newspaper, the Daily Worker. In 1936, Harry Pollitt, general secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain, asked him to cover the Spanish Civil War. He joined the Fifth Regiment to report the war as a soldier. While in Spain, he published Reporter in Spain.
Cockburn was attacked by George Orwell in Homage to Catalonia (1938). Orwell accused Cockburn of being under the control of the Communist Party and was critical of the way Cockburn reported the Barcelona May Days. According to the editor of a volume of his writings on Spain, Cockburn formed a personal relationship with Mikhail Koltsov, “then the foreign editor of Pravda and, in Cockburn’s view, ‘the confidant and mouthpiece and direct agent of Stalin in Spain’.”
But even more interesting than that grobdj is the fact that she is the daughter of British actor and comic singer Michael Flanders of Flanders & Swann fame. How about that?
strimey blimey she must be an incorruptible good egg I take it all back
In addition what would be the unemployment figures really be today if they were calculated using the methods used in 1992 ? Well over 3 Million I would wager.
Lord ‘Prime Mincer’ Mandy to lead Labour after election ?
Comical Ali to be chairman of press complaints commission ?
Gordon ‘the moron’ Brown to be chairman of IMF..or MFI ?
Tony’ ‘its the way I tell ‘em’ Blair to be head of UN ?
Hazel Blears ginger muff of the playboy month ?
Edbutnoballs special needs czar ?
Yvette ‘shallow twat’ shadow cabinet swallower ?
Harriet ‘Hairy’ Harmen cabinet bike ?
Erm…..where does the Hand of History fit into all this…..?

This construct of saying “look everybody agrees” is a totally revolting manipulation of facts and opinions.
It was used to death by cheesy tony, but brown and his travelling circus continue to use it.
Please can we ban it ?
I don’t fucking agree for something like 99% of the time.
The problem (okay – one of the problem’s) with Brown is that he’s spent his whole life being told how fucking clever he is. This means that whenever a situation presents itself he feels he has to come up with a ‘clever’ solution.
Not the fucking obvous solution like the rest of us. Fuck no. A ‘clever’ solution.
That’s why, when presented with an economy that is overspending by 12% of GDP he doesn’t take the boring old tried and tested method of spending less momey. Fuck no. We need an innovative, ‘clever’ solution. Printing money for example. And borrowing 12% of GDP just to make the public payroll.
See, in his fucked-up head that is not the obvious solution therefore it must be a ‘better’ solution. Because he is ‘clever’.
You see this in everything he does. Fucks up with his 10% tax – does he just ‘fess up and rewind the tax back to 10%? Does he fuck. A bizarre combination of reliefs and allowances in a wild attempt to achieve the same result.
Likewise his ‘tax credits’. You could just up the tax free limits and give tax-breaks for kids. But no. He’s got to take the money off you in order to give your money back.
Everything he does is an attempt to prove how ‘clever’ he is. So if Cameron says he’s going to increase the IHT threshold then Brown has to attempt to do the same thing. But he can’t just increase the threshold. Fuck no. He has to create some scheme whereby the total IHT is transferred between married couples. Or something.
Stop trying to be so fucking clever Brown. You’re just fucking everything up.
K.I.S.S.
on the nail jgm2
Agreed. The tax system is now so fucking complex even Alastair Darling had to hire someone to do his tax returns, at the taxpayers expense.
1) Which band of intellectually-challenged butt-muppets decided he was ‘clever’?
2) The clearest sign of ‘intelligence’ is the ability to understand the rationale underpinning a complex system and being able, from that understanding of its purpose, to make it -less- complex.
I suppose that Brown was clever,once,and he was quite good-looking in his younger days.Now he’s very very ill and the disease is turning him into a monster,both mentally and physically.
try specsavers you’ve obviously got a vision problem
Agreed jgm, the obvious solution to the 10% tax fiasco was to say sorry and change it back, but that would be admitting they had goofed, and they just can’t do it.
The other thing I remember about that was how it was presented at budget day, Gordon Brown the great tax cutter, oh how they all cheered on the Labour back benches. How they mocked the opposition.
What utter useless lying deceiving hoons.
Fool some of the people some of the time…
Intelligence is of course relative. Compared to the rest of the fuckwits in the Labour party I suppose you could say he is very intelligent.
But then of course he is a mentally ill which cancels out any intelligence advantage he might have over the dullards in his party.
So that is why he has to employ thugs as henchmen to enforce his madcap schemes on his party and the country.
Brown is a lunatic and must be exterminated for the greater good.
Brown shouldn’t be exterminated,he should be studied.
Brown is a man. Men are mortal. Brown is mortal…
But who’s got time for that? Wait for him to turn into a completely senile, old fart (he’s deranged enough now)?..
I’m with you boys.. Well, when I say ‘with you’, I mean when I see his coffin being carried high, my shouts will probably turn into taunts.. But you get what I mean.
“One Labour cut, please. Columbian-necktie variety for the PM.”
Can’t wait :O))
@SuperMac
Brown should be “studied” on the dissection table, or in a how-not-to-run-the-economy textbook.
jgm2 – your 3rd paragraph had me coughing beer over the laptop!
I dunno whether you bother reviewing your posts (I don’t), but if you do, they’re priceless.
Spot on, well done.
In lieu of the Election, Can I propose a bill is rushed through Parliament to re introduce the Death Penalty for Politicians who promote THEIR opinions by using the phrase ” What the Public want is….” OR ” What people are telling us on the doorsteps is….” The last one is easy to spot as a lie since everyone on the doorsteps will clearly be telling them to Fuck Off at every opportunity!
the best is “Lets be absolutely clear” in other words give me time to think of some bullshit answer
Oh dear oh dear. Gordon’s “Hero” and “bestmate” Obama is “off message” .
Whilst Gordon is proposing 1.6% cut in real terms for 2010-1011 University Budgets with resultant estimated 6,000 less student places Pres.Obabma is increasing his university budget by 6% as he views it as essential that the USA is top of the graduates league and that these are the people required to ensure the US gets out of the recession although of course it’s pretty pointless Brown trying to match it as in the UK under Brown graduates can’t find jobs, even as cleaners.
Under Brown most of the UK’s graduates aren’t smart enough to be cleaners.
Unless you work for a Baroness……..!
That is an even bigger indictment then isn’t it particularly under a LABOUR government and one whom had the aspiration that 50% of young people went to University which was always going to end in tears as entrance standards were lowered to accomodate less academic applicants who applied for pointless “Media Studies” type degree subjects at ex-polytechnics newly minted(under Major and the Conservatives – I know)as universities and if they don’t drop out after the first year find their degree is worthless after 3 years of study and £12,000 average student debt
There seemed to be a view that a vocational education leading to a skill and craft should be looked down upon for some reason and both the government and schools encouraged that view in 1990′s. No shame in being a fully qualified plumber,electrician,craftsman etc who are probably more useful than 200 or 300 Media Graduates surely ? Although perhaps that is why the UK is so “well-placed(not) to survive the recession created in part by Brown’s mis-management and profligacy over the past 13 years
The majority of the graduates being pumped out of these comedy re-badged universities with their pointless certificates are not fit for anything except a call-centre. Which is where most of thiose who do get a job will end up. Either there or selling three quid coffees to yummy mummies and other assorted arseholes in Starbucks.
Three quid for a fucking coffee.
This recession will not be over until every Starbucks in the country is out of business. How can we, as a nation, be said to have any clue about the value of money if there are still people who will pay three quid for a coffee and no blow-job.
You’re probably not far wrong on your call centre jobs but even those are pretty hard to come by when each job has 100+ graduates applying
O/T But £3 for just a coffee !! I can get an all-day breakfast,toast, and as much coffee as you can swill for £4 in the local “caff”Jesus Christ ! Where do you live jgm ? People pay £3 for coffee in a paper cup with a plastic lid ? You can get a perfectly decent coffee at a local “caff” – they even do skinny lattes.mochas etc these days even outside the metropolis for less than £2 and it’s served in a proper china mug/cup
When I go to a customers house I always ask the owner if they have some boiling water in a cup, they think you need it for my van or something, then when they bring the cup I ask them if they have a tea bag to put in it, works every time and is a lot cheaper than starbucks.
I will absolutely NOT go to Cafe Jesus Christ!
The decline started when bottled water became a must have. What next fresh air at £1 a bottle.
£3 fer a coughie..listen you southeners are havin it tu gud..up ‘er we feed four kids 3 dogs and a donkey for £7 a fortnight and still manage te smoke and have an odd newky now and again. £3 fer a coughie ez you mad
I see mandy this morning, spinning the ‘only labour can save us from economic annihilation’ rubbish and says that cameron and osbourne will strangle the recovery at birth. +Laugh+
I know who I wish was strangled at birth – and mandy and gordon would be high on my list.
The recovery has not even been conceived yet.
This isn’t a Marks and Spencers recovery. It’s an Enron ‘recovery’ by the Enron chancellor.
And next time Brown brings up a laboured ‘cast I-ron’ reference then Cameron would do well to riposte with an ‘En-ron’ gag.
True, Enron were heavily into pushing for AGW and a rent-seeking protected market in the tax it would extort.
I mean, it’s not even a same sex relationship with a turkey baster;
it’s pure onanism, wanking, print money and give it too yourself!
It’s nice abroad.
There are a lot of complely undestroyed communities all over the place.
The german and french finance ministers can count!
Belgium is bloody wonderful!
Only problem is that Germany, France and Belgium will become Muslim dominated in just a few decades.
We’re fucked.
Great Britney already is Muslim Dominated!
They are working on banning the burqa in france and then italy.
I have nothing against anybody, I mix easily and whoever’s country that it is that I am living in, then I integrate with their culture, not totally, but adequately.
Immigrants are only a problem when there are too many of them and they confine themselves in their own ghettos by choice.
How the fuck would you know you Belgain Twat ?
I’m not so sure on that one. In fact it seems to me to be a very “clever argument” peddled by Mandelson if you stop to actually dissect the logic of it.
I think that most Labour politicians,and certainly Mandelson,realise that Brown is unlikely to lead Labour to victory at the forthcoming election and that Cameron will “win” in the sense that he leads the largest party in the Commons. Mandelson’s strategy is designed to put questions in the minds of those who can be termed “floating voters” and make sufficient of them either vote Labour or LibDem or UKIP and thus probably delivering a “Hung Parliament” in the process. Cameron would have to seek accomodation with the LibDems or the Ulster Unionists to govern. He will need to make some tough spending cuts which will be unpopular. In the way of these things Cameron’s majority would be on a knife-edge.He could fall out with his coalition partners;his majority could be reduced by death/illness of his MPs or even defections.
He would therefore have to go to the country within say 12 months.His popularity will have decreased as inevitably elected governments find out after the honeymoon period. Meanwhile he will be taking the tough unpopular decisions with Labour sniping and causing trouble from Opposition. When the election is called Cameron could lose it and re-admit Labour who may even by lead by someone NOT Brown or shudder bythe noble ex-Lord himself who still harbours ambition in that regard even though he would have to get legislation through to renounce his title(i couldn’t see that as a problem)and then get elected(not insupperable barriers to the self-styled “Prince of Darkness”)
So don’t write off what Mandelson does or says because there is always and ulterior motive and the man is more devious and dangerous than any politician on the scene to-day
Well this is obviously what is happening. The whole decision to squander the UK an additional two years into debt and kid on that that was ‘the right thing to do’ is for exactly this scenario.
I cannot tell you how fucking happy I am that we’ll be half a trillion quid extra in debt just so that the same jackasses who got us this far into debt get another go on the steering wheel a few years earlier.
No. Really. I am fucking delighted.
jgm2, surely, Cameron HAS to make out the case of just how bad our problems are. Fuck the response of ‘talking down the UK economy’ – talk’s cheap, actions speak a lot louder.
If the Tories have a research department worth a light, they could easily put together the information to blow these shysters completely and utterly out of the water. If Cameron doesn’t do what HAS to be done, he’s likely to be out of office in a year. You know that UK plc is floating on Titanic, has hit the iceberg and is listing badly with McMental stuffing money in the hull to try to soak up the water. And, surprise, surpise, it won’t work.
Unfortunately there are a rump of voters (20 – 25%) who would vote Labour if Labour was rounding them up in the street and transporting them in cattle trucks for a communal shower out in the country someplace.
Then there are a great many voters who are emotionally children. They want to be told nice things. That it will all be all right and you just leave it to Gordon. If you even attempt to spell out the truth (we’re fucked – fucked by this evil Labour regime of malevolence and incompetence) then they will run off and hide in their bedrooms and only come out to vote when Labour tells them that it will be all right and they can sleep with the lights on.
It galls me to admit it but Labour lies get Labour votes. And they’re prepared to lie night and day. They’re prepared to lie to get a war they want. they’re prepared to lie to engineer an economic catastrophe they want. They will lie, lie and lie again for power. They are power-crazed liars.
If Cameron spells out the truth he will never be PM. Labour will drive us five more years into oblivion although five more months of this idiocy will probably be enough.
We’re fucked.
Nick has the right idea. Abandon ship.
Amazing how this ‘PB’ was given so much airtime, labour logo’s behind the dark knight, live feed, who needs a pot of money when TV time comes free on BBC or Sky, this is an abuse of the rules, but who will police or stop it…no one.
Listened to the whole speech, still don’t know what his policies are, but every tory proposal is completely laughable, the ‘do nothing Baroness of Boy’, ‘the childcatcher’
Great Britney is flucked!
Laughable coming from Labour, but then that’s par for the course with Mandelson. Nothing he says makes any sense, and the more he is wheeled out the more ludicrous this government looks. This government was responsible for putting the UK in this mess in the first place, and to suggest that it would be best placed to guide the country through its troubles is ridiculous. The government is in meltdown, it is out of ideas, the left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing, and it stumbles on from day to day with the sole objective being to pour scorn on everyone else. In that sense, Peter Mandelson has become the Minister for Rubbishing the Tories.
Alas, nothing good comes out of Labour these days, only spite and vitriol. Like an embittered old queen who has seen better days, the government constantly bitches about those whom it sees as rivals, those who are younger, and more attractive. The energy of New Labour’s early days has long since departed, and all Labour has to offer now is nasty negativity.
When Brown and Mandelson are gone, the party might have a chance to rediscover its raison d’etre, and recover its dignity. Until then, the party is unelectable.
“Like an embittered old queen who has seen better days, the government constantly bitches about those whom it sees as rivals, those who are younger, and more attractive.”
And thats precisely why Mandleson is idealy placed at the moment. Commeth The Hour Commeth the embittered old Queen.
There’s a real element isn’t there with this government now – a Marie Antoinette moment of ‘ Let them eat cake!’
Well we know what happened after that – and Labour’s Bastille and Madame Guillotine moment is fast approaching , figuratively speaking!!!
“But the left is already starting to win the war in both these two fields”.
Alex Smith
Evidence?
He’s ‘avin a laugh.
Darling, darling…….your nickname THRUSH by any chance??? you irritating c*nt !!!!
Dear oh dear. Lying, eh? Poor Alistair.
I suppose he’ll have to resign like Profumo did when he lied.
It’s a lie alright. In the same way that Blair lied about Iraq. Darling will have some comedy ‘projections’ reverse engineered by some patsy who really, really, really needs his job at the treasury and is prepared to put his name to any old bag of shit that Brown/Darling tells him.
These are the people who must be given immunity in return for testimony in the coming trials of these vicious, evil, economy-wrecking lying bastards.
I can dream can’t I?
Damn right, you can dream. New Labour started with a dream. As did Simon Cowell. As did all that Disney shit.
And sticky bedclothes
All nightmares start with a dream.
“On top of old smokey,

Wonder if she’s found any clothes. I heard that Mandy Rice Davies found some
Well she would say that wouldn’t she?
****Quick bit of name dropping****
Very nice woman, Christine.
I have met her twice, very quiet and modest!
Looks like any ordinary housewife.
I wonder how badly tat would cave your skull in if he knew you were stealing his name?

tsk!! ‘Talking’.
I am sure he is watching us from above, nell.
Oh! Do I need a glass of sherry and a bunch of marigolds??
I really don’t want to say goodbye!!

And it seems that people here try to copy his work and style all the time.
Not quite the same as the real thing though, is it?

BBC ticker mentions Govt planning to ask MPs to vote on changes to electoral system. Has Brown bother to consult other parties?
He doesn’t need to consult anybody. He has a majority. And they’re such a self-centred shower of fuckwits they’ll do what they’re told for an extra couple of months salary and a pay-off.
Finally, after 13 years of unrestrained, unbounded idiocy he is going to hamstring any government’s efforts to sort out his economic fuckwittery.
Mendacious, nasty, evil, economy-wrecking BASTARD that he is.
‘Mendacious, nasty, evil, economy-wrecking BASTARD that he is’………..
and thats being generous
You’re on form jgm2! All absolutely correct and concise though, as usual. Very fucking depressing state of affairs we’re in.
Sigh. Fuck it. I’m off to watch porn until the election….
These changes being to allow Children to vote. Brown knows that such immature minds are more likely to be swayed by style over substance and the usual platitudes. He is a coniving c unt.
Most kids know about the extra taxation for university graduates – they also know that it is thanks to Labour that they will have to pay it.
An own goal that is going to hit Labour hard in when these youngsters enter the workplace.
The future ‘Prime Mincer’ never says anything without considerable forethought and we will all rue the day if he takes over the labour party…he was a prime architect of new labour which managed to get a ‘more tory than a tory’ prime minister elected and his ambitions are by no means thwarted. A more slimey two faced double talking manipulating scumbag would be hard to find..but he will find plenty of accomplices surrounding him ready for the first opportunity to jump back into power…a shudderingly awful prospect.
Bottom line is, they are a bunch of c*nts………
More tory than a tory?
You need to invest in a dictionary, start with third way capitalism, then cronyism followed by corporatism. Bliars “third way” New Labour project was nothing more than recycled thirties fascism, with added self loathing.
Tragically, Dismal Dave Cameron is a convert too.
I hate Gordon Brown so much that the energy that drives my hatred could heat a whole country with electricity for decades.
When he is beaten to a pulp in the election he so fears to call,I shall drink a bottle of champagne in one go and then keel over for a few hours.
I shall then ensure I am at Downing St with my banner as this disgusting monster is driven away (in a cage I hope) on Friday 7th May.
And the banner will say;
“Now go to hell,you utter shit”
can I help hold the banner pls & champers is on me well fizzy wine as Liebour policiies have fucked me business in a big way hangin on in there
recovery? ha effing ha?
the only upswing in the economy has been bought with money that we dont have…..
millions of part time jobs.
wages cut…
‘offshoring’
millions all working for the govt. producing fuck all of any value.just to mask the unemployment numbers………the money is being sucked from the uk daily……..
why would anyone listen to gordon or badger or mandy?
these shits have never worked in business……..
how would they know?
does being a failed history lecturer at a tech college give an insight into business?
i’m surprised that bill gates doesnt go to drowning strasse for some lessons!
ps the oil is now running out………..so where will the money for investment come from?
it’s all lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE IS NO RECOVERY!
Ask yourselves, it’s February 1st. Are you still splashing out on a turkey, wine for Christmas dinner, presents for friends and family, a new HD telly to watch all the exciting (not) Christmas specials? Even if you did a plastic orgy of spending you’ll be paying it back now for the next 6 months (if you’ve got any sense) yet the economy only grew by 0.1%.
Technically we are in a double dip recession right now — not sometime later this year, now.
The curse of the most hated man in Britain strikes again;

Things are deteriorating rapidly. We are currently in limbo; still governed by the post war political consensus based upon “services” and the illusion that everyone’s needs can be met – or should be met.
This method of organizing the state and society was fine when it first emerged. The 1950s had near full employment and rapidly improving quality of life. Unfortunately, since the 1970s, there has been a slow and steady decline. The “financial crisis” of 2008 was merely the first in a series of heart attacks to hit the appallingly managed and poorly organized western world, with its focus on perverse intensives and an attempt to “tame” the market through government regulation and so – called “civil society” groups.
In all aspects of western life, we are provided with the mirage that we are free and that we are in control of our lives. We all know this to be false, but slowly and surely, this is being exposed in the most explicit terms. Thus, we read that the police will start to use unmanned aerial vehicles to monitor “antisocial driving”, that we will not be able to fly without passing through a radioactive scanner, that our houses must contain lightbulbs that contain mercury, that our personal telephone conversations and emails will be eavesdropped upon.
As a result of the slow economic decline we have witnessed, masked by the credit and asset boom we have seen idiotic politicians and regulators rise to the top, believing that they can and that they do add value to society and the economy. This, is also being exposed as utterly false. The west attack the economic and foreign policy of other states, such as Russia and Gazprom or China and CNOOC for utilizing private companies for national aims, yet conveniently forget companies such as EDF or Eon, which are implementing the “green” agenda of social control and surveillance. The laughable comments from Hillary regarding China’s internet freedoms are hypocritical in the extreme when looked at with reference to the west’s programme of “Total Information Awareness”, and the pervasive existence of “red – lists”.
The deeper you look, the more you realize you are not free. This is partly our fault for allowing our democracy to be so thoroughly subverted. The media are to blame, the politicians are to blame and so is the increasing tendency to outsource decisions to “ethical” organizations like the UN or other anti – democratic, anti – nation state NGOs.
The west is bankrupt and the increasing polarization of society and palpable anger will manifest itself into something rather ugly as public sector wages are not paid, savings are destroyed and the general functioning of the post – war consensus begins to fail. Expect more shocks to the system, but above all beware the rise of the demagogues: whose seductive narratives and solutions will bring the chaos that currently seems inevitable. What a sad state of affairs – what a waste.
Unfortunately the demagogues are the only ones with the strength of will to confront the breakdown. Consensus politicians just try to keep the machine stumbling on.
There will be one. Think Griffin with Blair’s media skills and you’re right to worry.
summed in todays John Redwood quote “you cannot borrow your way out of a debt crisis”
haiden caulfield = Michael moore / ben elton
Ever since this happened, Sky have been rimming Browns arse. Did he send his bully boys round?
It’s Rupert Murdoch hedging his bets in case we get a hung parliament. He doesn’t need to worry it isn’t going to happen.
In order to get a hung parliament gordon has to fool Middle England into voting for him. They might have fallen for bliar’s deceptive charm and silver tongue but they know now, hearing the Iraq Inquiry and watching our lads die in Afghanistan, that they were conned. They are forewarned and will never fall for gordon’s blatant lies and lack of social graces.
To put it kindly, this is a deeply unattractive man, with a seriously flawed personality. And like it or not on General Election day people are voting for the man at the top. He’ll get his hard core labour vote but that will be it!

There was a nasty little rehab piece on Pravda last weekend that went along the lines of “why do people always try to leave the breakfast news sofa early ?”. It finished up with the Maximum Imbecile storming off after his conference grilling.
Never mind that he wasn’t in the studio (like all the other examples being shown).
Never mind that he was only being interviewed by one of the two usual presenters.
It’s taken from then until now for the Pravda propaganda arm to find 3 other early walk-outs to put that bit of crap together. Just to try to make it look like the bastard behaves the same as everyone else.
Expect new depths to be dredged as soon as the election’s officially announced…
The BBC are always doing rehashes like this, the shifty bastards. If it had happened to Cameron would they have bothered? Would they fuck.
What I cannot understand is the apparent closing of figures in the polls. Are they having a laugh? I have yet to meet anybody who intends voting for Brown’s dishonourable party. Listening to all sorts of people it is clear that Brown really is hated by the general public, perhaps more than he ever imagines.
I don’t have a lot of time for DC but anything is better than this cheating, lying bunch of fookwits that are presently in power. Roll on May – only three months away.
You don’t spend enough time in Wales, Jockland or the English hinterland then Mr Bridge. 100% of jobs created in the South Midlands are state ones, which should be a big fat clue.
Actually I’m in the north of England once a Labour (not New Labour) stronghold but things are changing rapidly here and Brown is really, really, hated – just a bit more than the multi-millionaire Blair.
Excellent news then, so where are these 31% that love him hiding – St Mellon’s estate, Cardiff?
They’re not hiding. They’re the immigrants with extended families. They’re the incapacity benefit fraudsters. They’re the state payroll jobsworths. Buy off a few million more and you’ve got a permanent majority.
The only poll that matters, May 6th.
March the 4 th is more likely
“If, Gordon decides to go to the polls in March – say the beginning – he’s going to have to make an announcement and ask for Parliament to be dissolved by the Crown in little over a week.”
Dizzy thinks, January 26th.
He’s leaving it a bit late isn’t he?
Wes I heard Chilcot saying he would call McBust late Feb: or early Mar:.
He will go to Chilcot then before an election and muddle through it and then come up with the give aways Apr: and onto May election.
The General Election will be in March.
Your chatter will not affect that fact.

Comments like that illustrate why you are a nobody umbro.
You never were of any consequence as a person and you never will be.
Oh well, you have only yourself to blame for being such an inadequate character.

Still predicting the postman will be P.M.?

Well spotted ACI. Tat is on manoeuvers, the little prick.
You guys seem to be obsessed with this tat fellow.
He must be quite a blogger for you to prattle on about him all the time.
But your paranoia will get you nowhere.
You are just chasing shadows. From what I can ascertain he is a master of politics and you are mere apprentices. Not even that, you are nothing more than improvers.
Keep improving and one day in the distant future you might be worthy of polishing his shoes.
But I doubt it.
Goodnight ladies.
Wanker.
Link sent to the Tuscan outlaws near Somerton: a compliment, I assure you. Excellent.
And talking of labour lies I see gordon promised this morning that he will be finding billions to build two new aircraft carriers.
What a world of fantasy the poor ole boy lives in. He knows, just as the rest of us do, that he won’t be in office long enough now to build them. It’s a shameless lie to try and grab scottish votes from scottish shipyard communities.
It is also a shocking disgrace that he can now promise funds for that when he has never found the money for our troops in Afghanistan and that he has made such a mendacious, flippant statement on a day when two more of our lads have died from IED’s and lack of kit!!
Not enough helicopters, not enough body armourand where are the ridgebacks? Neither gordon nor aintbustinagut can be bothered to do anything about that but they are happy to waste their time making empty promises about billions of pounds to be spent on mythical aircraft carriers in the hope of buying cheap votes at the next GE.
has Dave gave you a cast iron spending guarantee for the military love?
U-TURNip if you want to
LoL
Dave doesn’t have to give a cast-iron guarantee for the military or for the economy.
Conservatives have a long and proven history of looking after our fighting men in the frontline and a long and proven history of economic competence.
Labour has a long and proven history of disregarding the care and safety of our armed forces in the frontline – and Iraq and Afghanistan are only the most recent and shocking examples of that. Labour has a long and proven history of economic incompetence , this current debacle and gordon’s insistence on his spend spend spend policies are only the most recent example of their criminal ineptitude.
The fact remains that if gordon wants to win the next election or even achieve a hung parliament he has got to win the vote of Middle England, that means winning over the majority of people who post on here.
So let’s see him try!!
“and a long and proven history of economic competence.”
Remember 15% interest rates and the ERM Debacle?
Yes whereas now the Government just pretend inflation is low. Have you seen your utilities bills recently ?
Oh yeah, how much did the Tories lose the British tax payer for this debacle? About 3.5 billion.
How much has McDooms gold sale cost the tax payer? About 10 billion. How much are they set to borrow this year? About 200 billion!
Very true the utility bills are appalling – and look at the food bills – they have absolutely rocketed and yet nowhere does that show up in the inflation figures!
And what about the cost of petrol £115.9 per litre around here and let’s not forget for us oldies that that’s approximately 4.5 litres to a gallon!!!!
What’s being paid on our diminishing investment accounts in banks – 0.2%?
Where are our pensions? – mostly grabbed by gordon or lost!!
Oh yes this venal labour government has been ‘really competent’
Labours’ plan is to rob everyone with any asset in order to keep potemkin Britain in clouds of lies.
so Dave’s idea of looking after the troops is to send them into the Afghan slaughterhouse for another 5 years and supporting Tony B Liar’s Iraq disaster because he was thick as two short planks
you’re easily impressed or very dumb love
the people who post here are self selecting and representative of those who visit this site
Dave pays just a bit more attention to the opinion polls than scrag-ends too nutty for the Daily Mail because the polls matter
fuck all the piggy bastards, you couldn’t fit a cigarette paper between them all now
Trouble is the tories didn’t send our troops into Afghanistan labour Did!!!
cameron now has to find a way to extract them.
You think bliar was’ thick as two short planks’ well you’re wrong. bliar was anything but thick – he was too sharp for his own good and slowly slowly he is coming to a bad end. gordon and mandy aren’t too far behind!
As for cameron – he’s not perfect – he’s human thank god! I’m fed up to the back teeth with people like saint bliar (I can do no wrong- and I would do it all again) and the egomaniac gordon ( I’ve saved the world- I’ve cured boom and bust) and mandy (look at me aren’t I wonderful / powerful/rich) .
Trouble is nell, Dave does what he’s told. He’s a green pro EU federalist that supported the move to send the troops in.
By all means vote for him, but you only see the small picture.
And the Big Picture is??……..
UKIP? beenpee? or God Forbid a vote for new new labour under a rehashed gordon who promises never ever to tell lies again and to take anger management classes!!
Griffins Stormtroopers or the EU’s. Makes no difference.
C,mon Bill – yes I do hope that UKIP’s Nigel Farage is going to unseat bercow . Nasty piece of work bercow and Parliament needs a new chance to find a new Speaker that will equal Betty Boothroyd!!
griffin’s stormtroopers??- uncomfortable analogy for me. My Uncles fought stormtroopers in WW2 as they battled to bring down Nazi Germany. One of my Uncle’s was one of the first troops into Belsen.
And my sister lived next door to a jewish family who had escaped the Nazi death camps. So I’m not comfortable with that idea.
Yeah nell, they really are a bunch of shits, so what’s new?

Interesting theory this ‘hung parliament’ rubbish that is doing the rounds at the moment. Where is it coming from?
Supposedly it began with a YouGov poll a few days ago showing conservatives were only leading labour by 7%. But then YouGov is led by a Labour motivated President ( husband of that useless baroness ashton / EU foreign minister person- no doubt her husband’s polling influence was the reason for her ‘unexpected’ appointment). YouGov’s polls are the most unreliable of all the polls in the field.
Other recent polls have shown Conservatives having a lead of 11% on Jan 27 and 16% on Jan 24.
The ‘hung parliament’ nonsense is being spun to the media by 10 drowning street (edballs and charliewhelan et al) It’s their only hope of hanging onto some power and they believe that by repeating the mantra often enough through the media they can make it happen.
Agreed – and now Brown has f*ucked the students with cuts,he will be so beaten,he will be more beaten than a beaten up old drunk in a beaten up part of Glasgow.
No hung Parliament,a majority of at least 60 for Tories.
Not long now – hang in there,we can get through this – just wait until Friday 7th May 2010.
Brown cannot stop it coming.
Oh dear! Squeaky bum time for the Tories. Brown the most hated man since Lord Haw Haw and boy Dave can only scrape up a 7% lead.
He might as well give up now and hand over to Dickhead Dan Hannon and his band of mercenaries.
Wow Labour are streaking into a 7% deficit! I must go off and have a wank. I hope mummy doesn’t notice my socks are all sticky.
What it actually means is that the diehards support their party and the majority couldn’t give a monkey’s which one of the cheeks of Westminsters arse glows slighty brighter.
What it means is that labour needs a high poll turnout in what have been previously classed as ‘labour strongholds’ in order to achieve a ‘hung parliament’.
mandy and the labour haeirarchy know that is very unlikely – but they are trying very hard at the moment to talk-up a ‘ hung parliament’ in order to get out as much support as possible.
They are idiots!! – if they had had the courage and foresight they would have jettisoned gordon and put in a new leader – then they might have had a chance with this ‘hung parliament’ strategy!!!!
Frankly , I think now, they have a better chance of saving the most number of seats (which will be pitiful) with edballs ‘core vote’ strategy!!
My project will be complete when nell learns to love New Labour.
That could take quite a while, Tone….
+++Laugh+++
The phrase ‘when hell freezes over’ comes to mind Eng!!!
Am I alone in thinking that the ‘hung parliament’ narrative might be just what Cameron needs to get his vote out on the day?
As cunning plans go, that’s a bit Baldrickesque. Bound to backfire. I rather suspect that most of the people that are going to vote have pretty much made their minds up. The ones that aren’t going to vote probably won’t be persuaded to; the campaign is already getting negative, and that’s exactly what puts a lot of people off voting at all.
What puts a lot of people off voting is that they’re all in it together.
How much more negative than having your assumptions that all parties are comprised of a load of thieving gits, out to feather their own nests at our expense, proved before your very eyes can you get?
she’s just too stupid to realise Dave is a lightweight Tony Blair clone
It will be won in the marginals. Forget the rest. Surrey=Tory. NE = Labour etc.
Win the marginals and win a majority.
One decent rally rousing speech will nail it. Everyone hates Brown, but 30% can’t bring themselves to vote Tory. Labour have self imploded but will still get 30%. Comical Mandy has been given a free reign on the BBC to spin propaganda all day long, they even want to change the voting system to be weighted even more towards them.
Trouble is you see – mandy is propaganding too soon!!! – by the time the election really comes they will have become annoying rubbish and will have exhausted our patience !!!
You keep on mandy – your bitchy queeny mannerisms are amusing if sometimes irritating!!
Traditionally, there is a swing to the governing party in the final weeks of a General Election so the opposition have to start from a high poll rating.
Already factored into the poll ratings chump.
More desperate tory spinning. Let’s face it, the tory dreams of a landslide victory are turning into a nightmare.
Time for Brown to call a March election. Oops, too late, he’s bottled it again.
I’ m so sorry but the truth is that labour has always,historically, achieved less than its poll results!!!
mandy knows it. gordon knows it!!
edballs and whelan know it .
They are desperately spinning a ‘ Hung Parliament’
It is , of course, their only hope!!!
Like your only hope is to keep the blue flag flying here.
A BPIX poll for the Mail on Sunday put the Tories on 39, Labour on 30 and the LibDems on 18. This would deny Mr Cameron an overall Commons majority.

People around my area are traditionally labour but I am daily amazed at the bitterness I hear against labour.
The poll that matters is the election and I think labour is in for some very nasty results.
The local CLP are seething because they have been saddled with all women prospective candidates,there is talk of refusing to canvas for any woman who is selected.

Moley,
A few threads ago you mentioned the NHS mistreatment you received.
If you post in the comments here http://nationaldeathservice.blogspot.com/ it might get into a post.
the NHS turned me into a newt!
I got better
fuckwits
I am totally brain dead. is it tomorrow I sign on, I can’t remember? my goldfish is called steve, but he’s left me now to go to heaven ‘cos I didn’t feed him.
you must be totally braindead to suck the cocks of dumbass Bush and the Scum Bankers or think the the NHS is going to be scrapped because a few Libertarian twats, who get less votes in the UK than the monster raving looney party, will ever change anything
The NHS isn’t going to be scrapped because of Libertarians, it’s going to be scrapped because, like all stalinist patterns, it fails.

must be only days left then eh twat ?
Sorry, I forgot, Obama is president now, and he’s sure gonna kick those Eyranian ragheads asses. Nuke the bastards Barry! You sure deserve that Nobel Peace Prize.
Wondered where you’d got to.
At this stage of a parliament, introducing legislation of this nature could only be for cynical and sneaky reasons. Government has had 13 years to reform electoral procedure, and there’s no chance of getting legislation through both houses and onto the statute book before May, given that it’s a significant constitutional ammendment.
No government in my lifetime has ever acted so obviously for party political advantage instead of the benefit of the country. Cynical bastards, the lot of ‘em.
Panic stricken more like.
They face the prospect of a bleak future with no employment and living on benefits.
Next year, one or more Labour MPs will be selling the Big Issue and rubbing shoulders with their core voters at the Benefits Office.
Unless they get a job with an NGO like me.

Absolutely right Eng!!
gordon said TODAY that he’s going to put £billions into building two aircraft carriers !!
Odd decision given that he wouldn’t even put £1 into Afghanistan to save our troops from IED’s. No helicopters!! No Ridgebacks,!! No Body Armour!! No Proper FireArms!!
Let the Troops Die!!!
Lovely! fragrant man!!
Piano wire / lamp post anyone???
Calm down nell, we don’t want you having a coronary before the final victory is won.
Air Chief Marshall Sir Jock Stirrup’s evidence to Chilcott earlier today was very revealing. He paints a picture of armed forces kept in the dark about what was required of them until the last moment, so late that they were unable to supply themselves properly.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/7127909/Iraq-inquiry-last-minute-planning-caused-body-armour-shortage-says-Sir-Jock-Stirrup.html
That’s simple, that was so Blair could hide the fact he had already decided to take us to war.
where will they be built Jockland get them votes in yippee
Absolutely no way this can be steamrollered through the Lords in time for the GE – there’s no more than about 25 sitting days before a May 6th election, something so important to the constitution would have literally thousands of amendments put forward to run it out of time…
Hey Toenails, Did you hear the one about the Red Herring?
You say on an earlier post that Dave will look after our troops
Nell i remember as i think you do that the tories actually made troops Redundant last time they were in government and disbanded many proud regiments!
The direct result of Thatcher’s defence cuts in the South Atlantic led the Argentinians to believe that an invasion of the Malvina’s would succeed.
How many men died to rectify her mistake?
As i recall she also sold off our war ships one of which was The Ark Royal which we had to Borrow back from Australia we also went to war with only 6 harriers (that was all that was available) and we did not have an opperational bomber so the Vulcans which were in the process of being decommissioned had to be readed for war ! They are all the fucking same ! No loyalty
Well charlie whelan you believe that if you want – but then we accept you are a bit of an IDIOT!!!
It’s what we expect of labour!
Middle England!! Still waiting to be convinced that labour and especially gordon is the best thing to vote for at the next election!!!
Nell you are a silly old sod who would not believe the truth if it bit you on the arse
that is not a political pitch its the truth
but some people have blinkered vision and dont want the truth !
Tories are war mongers, always have been and always will be, I’ve said it ’til I’m blue in the face! Labour weren’t, but newlabour are. Tories made some dreadful mistakes under Thatcher re the military. Politicians are simply – crap.
nell doesn’t give a fuck about the truth
she just wants to try and use the deaths of soldiers as a partisan political stick but she’s too dumb to realise that the Heir to Blair supports the carnage too
Yes maybe they did but they didn’t cynically commit men to a war zone without weapons that worked, without bodyarmour, without ridgebacks , without aircover and then watched them die with no emotion!!
Labour has so failed our armed forces – History will not forgive.!!!
gordon and aintbustinagut are never going to be forgiven by history for their betrayal of the armed forces in Afghanistan and gordon doubly for his betrayal of the Armed Forces in Iraq!!
…as two more families grieve this evening…
Yes Steve – That says everything more than anything else!!!
Why are our men fighting abroad whilst we have this evil uncaring labour government at home who doesn’t give a toss about our lads fighting in Afghanistan!!
Brown shot them himself while Dave tried valiantly to rescue them and give them first aid
WHY!!! Oh the humanity!!
fuck sake you really are thick as pigshite
Brown and Cameron support the continuing slaughter
I’ll be sure to remind you of every dead troop once Dave takes charge as they will of course be all his fault too since he could have decided to pull the troops out but didn’t because he’s a cun’t like Brown
TT, how right you are!
TT, what’s important is that if the troops are out in the desert, they are equipped properly and not left as cannon fodder for the Taliban.
See today’s evidence at Chilcot for how much of a priority this government gives to equipping our forces. Contrast with how the previous government did in the Falklands and the first Gulf war.
most of Chilcot today hung Balir out to dry as it was blindingly obvious he stopped the proper equipping and preparation so as to keep the pretence that he hadn’t already decided to send the troops in
No Army gets everything they want and the Falklands and Gulf War 1 had some of the same equipment problems, but Blair excarebated Britains problems hugely this time by his duplicity
The point is they wouldn’t be cannon fodder for the Taliban if they weren’t there fighting a pointless war to prop up a corrupt regime
“Yes maybe they did”
“So what?”
SO WHAT!!!
edballs and charliewhelan – Our Men ARE DYING in Afghanistan through lack of eqipment!
Our Men have Died in Iraq . No body armour.snatch landrovers.no aircover!!!
Balls./Whelan = SO WHAT???
yes nell
Iraq and Afganistan are catastrophes because if we only had a few more helicopters or armoured vehicles it would all have turned out beautifully and no-one would have died
keep eating the turnips love
Nell, these men are no ordinary ‘men in the street’, they are trained killers, that’s what an army is for. Unless we are invaded, I am against all wars. It is always sad when people die, but I think it would be a lot sadder if the Afghans were over here hunting us from door to door, house to house,and hill to hill.
No need to worry Nell, when the ‘big shots’ get the drones up and running! War will be entirely respectable then. Kill without collateral damage, and the populace will be perfectly happy that governments prosecute as many wars as they want. Am being facetious, of course.
Nell dear put the sherry bottle away
there is no one posting under the name of Charlie Whelan
and even if there was
he never said” so what” that my dear was Mr E ball’s
So calm down and get your self a cocoa !
Great article here for anyone confused about our presence in Afghanistan.
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article16901.html
(spot the opium growth from 2001 to 2007!!)
Is not Karzai`s brother the number one drug warlord in Afghanistan?
Can someone, anyone, tell me what the hell we are doing in that shithole of a country, if not to prop up a corrupt tribal warlord who governs a theocratic, tribalist, seventh century ragbag of crooks, who hate each other, but are willing to tolerate our presence as long as we kill their opponents and keep them in power?
The whole sordid affair a shameless execise in mercenary colonialism on behalf of various corporate interests, who need the Afghans pacified so they can extract the huge mineral resources within that awful country.
Keeping the citizens of Eastbourne etc, safe from terrorism is NOT what this war is all about and never has been.
Has anyone seen the Chilcot inquiry (whitewash) today PURE GOLD Liebour sending our forces to war underfunded OUCH would you believe it Cod eye says they always get what they need do you think he`s telling fibs MMMMMMM
So darling when does 2% growth return to the Uk economy ?? or perhaps how is better question .
so, is Darling a flipping fibber or a fibbing flipper?
What is with all these “FIBS” ? Labour dont do fibs They are Out and Out Liars !
End of !
no, like his boss he’s a lying fucker and a fucking liar
He’s a lying c.unt!
A BPIX poll for the Mail on Sunday put the Tories on 39, Labour on 30 and the LibDems on 18. This would deny Mr Cameron an overall Commons majority.
Check out MORI’s archive
there has been a 5-10% swing away from Labour in the last few days before the last 4 general elections
e.g. 23/24 April 1997 Labour +24%
1st May 1997 (Tony Blair elected) Labour +13%
It could be a ‘Communist Mail on Sunday’ lie though.

What they need is a short sharp shock before being frogmarched to a cashpoint and then have their hoodie’s hugged.
Criminals are victims, tempted by the property owning elite. But under our new equality laws, to make Britain a fairer place, and to avoid discriminating against criminals, an equal number of non-law breakers will be arrested. This is the right thing to do.

Sure you wouldn’t enjoy Labour losing more and also stabbing Gordo and Mandy in the front?
A ComRes poll tonight shows a 7% lead for the Tories. Let’s hope it encourages Calamity Brown to go early. What a fucking shock he’s gonna get.
“Of course none of these five polls have focussed on the real battle-ground, Tory targets number 40 – 140, where the election will be won or lost. The nature of sampling for the national polls is such that barely one sixth of those taking part would have been in the key seats.”

Brown is a fuckwitt, like a surgeon who keeps further damaging patients through botched operations, someone needs to tap him on the elbow and lead him to a place where he can stop hurting people
The Times “High earners will cost the public purse hundreds of millions of pounds through tax dodges as they avoid the new 50p rate of income tax, a minister indicated yesterday.”
Looks like Fagan’s gang are gonna give themselves a 15k pay rise if the rumour in the Mail can be believed.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1247831/Give-MPs-15-000-pay-rise-says-sympathetic-watchdog.html
Now if the MPs can bag a 23pc pay rise does that mean everybody, including minimum wage earners can too? That would bring the minimum wage to just over 7 pounds!
Incidentally – on the Gov minimumn wage iinformation site I read this:
“Guidance in other languages
You can download guides on the NMW in several languages. If you contact the Pay and Work Rights Helpline they can give confidential help and advice in over 100 different languages”
No wonder the whole world wants to come and bask in our unsalted ice!
Sky reporting Clare Short to give evidence to the Iraq Inquiry:
“Ms Short told reporters that Mr Brown, the then chancellor, feared Mr Blair would use a quick victory over Saddam Hussein to strengthen his political position at home and remove him from the Treasury. She also said that while Mr Brown did not speak out in Cabinet against the war, he did not support it.”
So this lesbian mule is getting ready to shield Snotty.
I was almost taken in by her anti-war stuff, got a minor hard-on for her when she stood up against Bliar.

God, the link’s longer than the story. How postmodern is that!
Two things:
There’s a websie called tinyurl you might want to visit.
Second – exactly as we’d suspected. Blair wanted a short, sharp Iraq war for no other reason than to cement his popularity a la Margaret Thatcher and the Falkands. And Brown just went along with the war because to stand up to it on principle – this is a shit, pointless war and I want no part of it – would screw up his political ambition. He’d be out in the wilderness like Robin Cook. Fuck ‘doing the right thing’ unless it’s ‘doing the right thing’ for Gordon.
That’s the mistake we’ve been making. Yet again we assume that ‘doing the right thing’ relates to ‘doing the right thing’ for the broader UK when it really means ‘doing the right thing’ for my personal political ambitions.
C*NTS.
didn`t Bliar say every true leader needs a war aka Lloyd George (who also sold honours by the way) Churchill ,Thatcher after all whats a few squaddies compared to the LEGACY just a thought
