For some reason Jim Devine has withdrawn his question to the Prime Mentalist which was first on the order paper for Wednesday’s PMQs following Guido’s highlighting of it yesterday.
Wonder if the whips told him to keep a low profile? He is after all still receiving the Labour whip…

John Higginson of the Metro explains Quantitative Easing:
“There is £100 and 100 loaves of bread costing £1 each. QE creates another £100. Each loaf now costs £2.”
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
He’s busy practising his table tennis?

“Will the prime minister get the police to back off or will I have to tell everyone where the skeletons are buried?”
“I congratulate my Right Honourable Friend on improved tractor output in his constituency.”
bbc says they’re suspended
from PLP, maybe perhaps
no difference to them, ljust ooks like Brown is doing something
and I’m keeping it safe in my special place
thought whip was withdrawn?
Is ‘whip’ a synonym for anal beads ?
What happened about Brown’s secret £50K stash?
The man from Del Monte, he say yes.
LIVE WEBCHAT WITH ED BALLS ON THE TIMES RIGHT NOW. DO GO AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS…
I think he’s concentrating on exercising his ringpiece in order for it to be as tightly closed as possible in preparation for his new living accomodation after the trial.
Sharing his new life with Bubba. Big Bubba.
Hey, Jim, you just dropped the soap.
There once was a Jock scrote named Jim
Sycophantic and venal and dim
He’s off to Barlinnie
Where a big guy called Winnie
Is intent on strectching Jim’s rim.
Very good.
Fair enough, but Saughton is a more likely destination for yon clattie wee toerag.
Same difference, Sir William. With acknowledgment to Paragnostic:
There once was a Jock scrote named Jim
Sycophantic and venal and dim
He’s sent down to Saughton
Where some old Joe Orton
Is intent on stretching Jim’s rim.
Putting up some shelves?
I thought the three of them had had the whip removed?
Ballot for Gordon Brown’s Iraq inquiry appearance
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8506133.stm
lets hope one day we have a national ballot
for who gets to pull the lever on the scaffold
“…told him to keep a low profile?”
Threatened to throw him from St. Stephen’s Tower more like.
That would give him a pretty low profile, I imagine!
He could claim a flat as his second home.
Maybe Gordon just emailed him the answer?
Sounds highly likely, although maybe the speaker put his ussual pressure on for Gordon the ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION….
Shame. I was looking forward to that…
wasn’t likely to ask Brown about expenses though…..?
but true, the opposition would’ve given him some stick
he’s just found out he’s pregnant
At least he won’t want a council house……………..or will he?
Or he’s going to use Alzehiemers as a defence and when the case is dissmissed he will make a miraculas recovery

(Definition: someone born out of wedlock a whoreson)
That will be the next defence,too ill to attend trial.
No consequence – somebody else will have the planted question or GB won’t answer it anyway.
Every time a planted question is asked, all the Tories should sing “It’s the biggest aspidistra in the world”.
The next time a Labour flunky stumbles over his prepared question Dave should ask Berky, “Mr Speaker, we all know that the Prime Minister has poor handwriting so it would be a lot easier for hapless Labour MPs in future if the Prime Minister could read out and then reply to his own questions. Much the same arrangement as he does with mine.”
facing long to-do list this morning and being very slow to get going – am not great at week day late nights as still have the early starts

late nights with hubby away? you dirty stop-out…
than rushed off to joined a dinner with GB – I was sitting next to nobel laureate economist Joe Stiglitz – great honour but brain-stretching
That would be the Joe Stiglitz that wrote a pro Govt article in the Independent
That article was a great steaming pile of shit if ever there was one.
When the extent of the great mortgage Ponzi scheme became obvious, Stiglitz was actively lobbying to let the banks go to the wall.
Now he’s all in favour of printing as much money as is needed to keep the credit ratings agencies happy, and praising the Maximum Imbecile for his handling of the bail-out which would not have happened had his advice been taken.
What an utter cock he is.
“Funnily” Enough Stiglitz talks complete bollocks too

Will Brown be there anyway or will he be “advising” the Greeks on their economy? He likes to avoid PMQs these days.
Macavity, Macavity…
Only 7 more PMQ’s ’till the jock twat is booted out.
Here’s one I prepared earlier:
Do nothing Tories

Eeeeehhhhh, Ada hen! Gi’ us a swig on yon ‘Buckie’. Ye dinnae want tae drink it all ye’sen and spend all neet spewing into a bucket, ye ken whit ah mean?
Nice we corrugated iron shack we got oorselves here.

It was nae my fault it started in Amerika and anyways the Tories made me do it so ner
Harriet would probably look good with a whip.
Than again, perhaps not!
Harriet would look even better after a third recount at peckham, with another party taking the seat.
Re seats: there is talk of her being ‘bottom of the year’ – now arse of the year I could understand…
Vote early, and vote often:
http://www.rearoftheyearcompetition.com/contact.html
It would certainly get up her nose if she won. The jeering from the tories would be tumultuous.
In fact Guido why don’t you set this up as an easy to vote for post?
Just voted for Harridan Harperson – she will hate it if she wins as it will be completely against her ‘feminist principles’. Yeah Guido set up an easy way to vote. I’s'pose they will check the email addresses to check there’s no uplicates – how lucky that with one thing or another I’ve got 3 or 4 email addresses.
I’d think Mandelsons rear is the most popular around westminster
Do to Harriet what they tried to do with John Sargeant on Strictly Come Dancing. Oooh yes please!! Let’s see her face when she is told she has won!!!
You must be referring to Nick ‘the Whip’ Brown – ex gay MAFFia Minister and current Chief Whip (Bully)
Jackie smith with whip and leather basque !
OMG she would look like a stack of tyres !
Meanwhile the benefits of positive discrimination within the Met are finally being seen. Don’t you just love NuLabor???
NiLiebour = complete and utter shambles. McBust never addresses the question anyway, it’s merely an opportunity for a silly party political (and to look bloody stupid into the bargain of course).

Jim is a qualified psychiatric nurse
Ideal right hand man for McMental (Manglebum is a left hander)
Jo Brand is a psychiatric nurse, she’s also a socialist and extremely fucking fat.
A fair bit in common, i wonder if there is a link.
One brain cell each. Ricochet nerve firing.’I'm a socialist I am..I’m so caring, look I’m crying’.
i watched a documentry on her once !
She is fucking barking !
Only white people can be racist
Anyone care to guess her Body Mass Index?
Obese or Clinically obese?
living near what was the biggest mental hospital in europe back in the 1970′s
my father would never let my mother apply for a job their
as he was convinced that people he knew that had worked there a long time were as mad as the inmates !
watching Mr devine
he was right i rest my case
Why does he still have the whip? Given his interview (bless him) surely he is in difficulties as false accounting is the falsification of records etc etc etc.
I would like to know the name of the whip who told him to falsify the accounts to begin with – does that not make it a conspiracy?
Jim Devine was stupid enough to much up the accounts, stupid enough to take bad advice and now will be used as a sacraficial lamb.
He is not the worst of the troughers…..

He is just playing thick !

Ed Balls doesn’t seem to be answering my questions

When I was at school we got fined if we had our top button undone. Scruff.
Mr Mercer – William Tyndale Primary School teacher – Islington – would cane us on our hands – for mis-spelling ‘Antirrhinum’ – age 8 or 9 ish
My father was caned because he was left-handed !
I worked in a rough school in manchester where there was a teacher who gave all the hard and troublsome thugs every chance to show how hard they were
He would invite them to the changing rooms for a fight and punch the shit out of them
it worked they had a mixture of fear and respect for him !
We had a French teacher who was an ex-commando from WW”. We reckoned that he learned French to stay alive amongst the Krauts. Either way when he let out a yell everyone froze (including the other staff), just in case they were the target.
He was not slow to knock the stffing out the wide-boys.
you guys are out of Dickens, or Monty Python….
We were still being caned in the 70s. Eating in public meant you got a physical detention; running round the school yard in army boots with a ruck sack full of bricks on your backs! Never did us any harm!?
My Junior school (1976 – 1980) had the cane and we had an ex wing-commander from world war 2 as our headmaster. He would instil very strict discipline and was only too keen to use the cane if circumstances called for it. My Senior school had the cane from 1980 – 1985.
I never received the cane, because it was there. As a deterrent, it fucking worked!
Discipline did get out of hand after physical punishment was banned.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting that the cane is a wonder cure for ill discipline. It is no such thing, BUT all kids are different and motivated by different things. For some kids, the cane is the worst thing that you could do to them. It would make them even more rebellious and troublesome. For some other kids, and this is a small minority, then the cane is the only thing that will work with them.
Removing the cane has meant that a simple and effective tool that does work (in a small minority of cases) is no longer available to teachers as a way to keep order. There are adults now who are institutionalised and who may never be able to participate positively in society, because that discipline was never induced at an age when it could have made the difference.
No, Mitch, the 50′s and 60′s.
My arse and that dowling rod were well aquainted, but being well brought up I would always say ‘Thank you, sir.’ with a big mocking smile on my face.
He wrote to my parents telling them that ‘I was worse than a communist.’
And have you enjoyed said thrashings ever since ?
I was caned for having crap handwriting, and I loved it.
Now I had them out, but only to the very guilty!
Public Justice!!!!!!!!!
You could do with a load if it in Great Britney.
reason i ask is most MP’s pay a fortune to be thrashed
so they can remaniss about their public school days !
I likes a good caning me
My dad was skinned and diced with a sashimi knife for suggesting one of the masters at Edinburgh Academy was “a Scotchman”.
Oh yes? Well we had it tough.
I asked Miss Q, who is 6, if she knew who Gordon Brown was.
“He is in charge of everyone and this makes him very grumpy”
I was very proud.
“Have you heard of Ed Balls?”
“no”
Even prouder!
Likewise – permission to remove ties!
.. and roll-up shirt sleeves – aaaah – standards!
School cap outside of grounds.
Caned for ‘removing school cap on bus while still in school uniform’ 1965
Grassed by prefect.
We had to doff ours to the Head every morning. FFS!
Summer term. No ties and shirt collars worn over blazer collar.
Happy days…thank you sir, may I have another?
Bashed 6 of the best when our white straw basher rim was bent or dirty — (we used to give them a hard edge with the epoxy resin used on surfboards!) or not parallel to the ground when worn. Thrashed senseless if you didn’t know the names of all the prefects and the 1st XV.
NoBalls is a lardy tub of softy shite, probably blubs in the toilets after every PMs’ questions.
In the poll at the side What do you want to change about education I wrote the minister.
The point here for the youngsters is that this corporal punishment wasn’t at some hoity toity fee paying schools but AT EVERY STATE SCHOOL IN THE LAND. And no it fucking didn’t make us grow up wanting to be spanked more, it taught respect.
Speak for yourself.
Is Gord trying to retain control using his power by the backdoor electoral reform proposals?
no chance of this becoming law due to lack of time.
gesture politics, and slight nod to Lib Dems, pure and simple
could also be a labour policy of the future to push for this
as its the only way they will ever win any seats in the future !
Bruin once again is accepting the unacceptable, just as he did with the flipping chipmunk: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8057559.stm

Their rules not ours ?
Can anyone give me an example of this ?

We are all under the NuLabour whip……for now. Roll on Liberation Day!
Hardly a surprise he has withdrawn his question although given his performance on C4 last week, it is a surprise to learn that he can write.
Guardian;
“Labour breached privacy regulations by making unsolicited automated phone calls – featuring Coronation Street star – to half a million people, information commissioner rules”.
bet the star was knackered after all those calls
Must have been during the day when they were guaranteed to be in (unkess it was benefit day)
“Coronation Street”? “Star”? Surely it is not possible for these words to be in the same sentence?
yes its possible !
and now on ITV, The one star rated soap opera coronation street !
I’m a jock, lying bastard.
So am I.
We all are.
And so say all of us
As carriage after carriage piles into the mountain of wreckage like suicidal juggernauts.
The Great New Labour Train wreck shows no sign of stopping.
Yet some people (and I use that word in its broadest meaning) still don’t see it happening, right in front of them… They will vote for these twats again!
At least some of us are honest
Go on, give us a clue – it is so hard. You all look like an amoral bunch of thieves, deviants, liars, cheats and ego maniacs to me.
You, your wife and the whole Labour pot of cess are a viral infestation for which the best cure is .50 inch calibre trans-sonic injection.
Yeah but you just wait until Harriet rolls out her equality bill. Then we’ll all be a viral infestation for which the best cure is .50 inch calibre trans-sonic injection. And that will be thanks to equality that will.
Really? Stake your reputation on it, would you?
Of course you are mr hatty
the trail of shit that follows you makes you perfect for a labour mp
and of coure you will be able to claim for a Third home
as the two you already own are too far away
Equality equality equality, is all have to say on the matter. Trail of shit it might be. But we all have an equal right to shit, do we not?
Just because you were born with silver spoons up your orifices, don’t mean your shit is better than mine.
Its all just shit in the end.
Alistair Campbell was plugging his piss poor book on Loose Women at lunchtime. His hair looked a suspicious shade of Paul MacCartney brown.
Did he blubb in front of the women? (sorry got distracted by the bird in the suspenders in the La Senza advert that popped up!)
No “blubbing” but lot of finger pointing. Claimed Brown was taking the country out of recession, and blamed the press for all the bad news!
Loose woman Kate Thornton showed what a deft political interviewer she wasn’t by revealing that she supported Labour and thought Brown was the right person to lead the country as PM.Then held up Campbells crappy novel to camera.
Reminded me why it’s best not to bother with daytime telly.
I didn’t think anyone watched that utter shite
There are people dumb enough not to see through Tony “Faking sincerity” Blair and Gordon “A Competent pair of hands” Brown
Maybe they’re also too dumb to find their way to the polling booth or fill in a postal vote.
I said yesterday that he would not be asking the question as all three are suspended from all meetings and have had the whip withdrawn !
… that doesn’t stop them from asking a question – in fact because they are OUT – all the more reason for asking the question – surely
i think they said they have been suspended from the party aswell !
Come on Guido, engage the brain. How would you possibly expect a dork like Devine to actually to something on his own initiative. He has to be told what to do. Friday’s interview on Channel 4 gave you all the evidence you’d ever need.
Devine should plead INSANITARY – I would let him off on this basis but insist he visit a sanatorium and stays there
And he is the selected representative of a Scottish community? Jeez!
I’d have him plead “in sānātōrius est”.
End of an era.
I say we give the Jocks independence, sex-up a dossier claiming they have WMD’s ready to launch on England within 45 minutes. Send in the army to massacre the jock scum and declare it part of England.
Can’t we have a “like” button a-la facebook?
They launched their WMDs in 1997…you must have been in the shelter because there’s fuckall but economic devastation from where I’m looking.
time for another “Hammer of the Scots”
Fine, but just remember Scotland does not start at Hadrian’s Wall.
Scotland would of been independent decades ago.
The like of this story is nowhere in Scotland. Instead there’s some rubbish about SNP being used to deflect the attention away from this very bad news for Labour.
Why is that? Happens all the time.
Mildly OT but I read that Joanne Cash stepped down as Tory PPC for Westminster North because she’s up the duff.
response? Wait for it – “CCHQ mounting effort to reverse decision.”
Ummm..I think that’s why she’s pregnant, lads.
An Irish union activist at Medway Council has just scored a few thousand pounds by taking offence at a joke that he considered ‘racist’. I am a quarter Scottish so please compensate me with £10billion for causing me untold distress by ridiculing and humiliating poor Messrs Devine and Brown who as you know are both Scottish.
I am North British.
I’m Spartacus :}
Ah’ll fuckin well tell ye, ye Huhnez, the boy Devine,eh, likesay, he’s pissed on his fuckin chips like. See, take me, like, ah fuckin well telt the Huhne, ah did, ah sais, “ye kin play the hey diddle diddle but dinnae you get caught, like, or them fuckin hoors’ll tan your fuckin jaw son.” An he sais, like, heed cocked on one side like a purple-tinned old jakey, he sais, “aye son, bit, like, see, this politics son, it’s no ma game, like. They’s Huhnez doon thair, in London like, what’s willing to shop they grannie fae a bag o’ frozen peas.” “Get back to fiddling union members, ya Huhne, as sais tae the boy, and did he listen.” “Get tae fuck ya radge,” he roared, “ah’m gettin masel a slice ah the pie.”
Ah, the old Paisley Pastiche – very good!
It must be time for a Trainspotting parody soon, surely?
I see Deszai has been put on the nonce’s wing at Wandsworth. I hope they’ll soon be protesting at the scum they’re having to live with these days. He’ll like his new friends though.
Be careful on those stairs, Ali.
Oh good. Now Justice really can be seen to be being done. Wonder how long it will be before he is moved for his own protection?
There’ll be some lovely stuff going in his curry….
As i posted yesterday
the lads have already got him polishing prisoners helmets
End of Balls hour
Poll at the bottom
76% want grammar schools back
73% would send to private school if they could
Ringing endorsement
What? With all these sooper-dooper Academies which Tone raved about? I thought educashun couldn’t get any better…..
but its not what the people want !
Which political party is going to bring back grammar schools?
Clue.
Not the Conservative Party.
“We wish to avoid populist policies which might win the election.”
Will UKIP oblige?
76% want grammar schools back – the poor deluded fools must think the pass rate in the 11 plus was 76%, rather than the 20% it actually was. Why not just rename comprehensives ‘grammar schools’? They’re so thick they’ll probably believe it.
A Cabinet Minister, on being asked;
“What would happen if Labour won the election?”
Replied. (Once he had got his breath back),
“There would be an immediate leadership election.”
It’s official;
We are being asked to vote for an unknown and faceless Prime Minister, concealed from head to toe in an impenetrable burqua.
http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/5760533/what-happens-if-labour-wins.thtml.
The reason why the Parliamentary Labour Party hasn’t replaced Brown, is that they thought that all the possible contenders would be even worse.
This is the stuff that nightmares are made of; Balls, Harman, as PM?
(Credit to Coffee House).
Q “What would happen if labour won the election” ?
A a riot ?
Or Harman with balls – yeuch!
he will only be removed by Death or Blindness !
well i for one wish him both !
Balls, Harman & Mandleson the Milli’s as contenders… FFS.
(Thinks…but then we have Dave & Ashcroft Co. – frying pan and fire come to mind FFFS)
Let me into the MP trough, and they can whip my ass any time.
Give me a job.
F8cking hell ……… it would take a big stick to hit that fat ass……..
O/T and don’t know if mentioned elswhere, but in today’s Mail story about the absence of snow in Winter Olympic games host city Vancouver, there is a photo of a snow-free city, with the caption “The ‘Brown’ Olympics: A man strolls past Olympic Village in Vancouver last night – on a calm, snow-free evening, just days before the Games are due to begin”.
If you hover your mouse over the picture, the word “curse” appears.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1248956/Snowmageddon-brings-chaos-U-S-East-Coast-Washington-DC-braces-worst-blizzard-90-years.html#ixzz0f32qXRM4
It does too – think they just forgot the last bit ‘… of Jonah Brown’? Or diplomatically omitted it ?
Does James May work for them?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JamesMayAutocar.jpg
It doesn’t snow much in Vancouver, the warmest city ever to host the Winter Olympics. All those pictures prove is that the reporters were too lazy to make the 70-mile trip to Whistler, where all the outdoor events are to take place.
its in the nature of the news that bare slopes make for a better story.
And bollocks. Not all the outdoor events are taking place in whistler. all sorts of slightly odd skiing were supposed to be held at Cypress Bowl Ski Area, which is damn close to vancouver.
Ye Gods.mayhap owlface this be an omen
I just have a mental picture of Obersturmenfurher Balls in his Nazi uniform as PM – blinking away as he lies, lies & lies again.
Hoisted by his own petard.
I see Charlie Chaplin
Harriet harman whats up can you no longer fiddle enough on your own ?
need hubbys help
we should put a stop to this “Keep it in the Family”approach to politics it fucking stinks they are all at it !
Yeah and a sizeable portion of tax payers money to boot, the dirty rotten thief. How are these conmen still MP’s is what I want to know, surely they should have been sacked and by-elections called, general election or not. If there is any doubt about their integrity to be MP’s then they should be sacked and when they are convicted and sent to jail for their fraud then they should have their pensions cancelled and any other money they might be ‘entitled’ too taken off them. As for the money they stole, it should be returned to the tax payer all of it!
Of course that won’t happen because as we all know on planet Westminster, they bigger the snout, the bigger the payout!
What’s all this stuff about suspensions and whips and things? Sounds like a fun party. I’ll just get the leathers and chains on and then you can cut me in.
eh? a party? Nobody let me know! Achtung!
