Labour HQ Still Taking Lines From Draper

Yesterday Labour launched an attack poster laying into Dave. Sadly as they have no cash they couldn’t actually display it anywhere other than the internet. Something about it reminded Guido of an old friend’s negative campaigning strategy. Back in the day Derek Draper set up a fake Twitter account called “David Camera-on“. It was the normal inane lines but most intriguing was the people engaging with the account. It seems some key players, such as Sue MacMillan – Labour’s online chief, Adam Dustagheer a No10/Labour HQ bod and Greg Jackson who works for Tangent Labs – the web company that do all of Labour’s second-rate web stuff, were all in on it.  Funny how Draper’s witty slogan ended up as an official campaign. Guido wonders what other pearls of Draper wisdom Labour will resort to employing as the campaign wears on…

      MPs’ expenses: Andrew MacKay to work as lobbyist after quitting parliament

      Andrew MacKay, the Conservative MP and former aide to David Cameron, is to take
      a lucrative job in lobbying after quitting Parliament over his misuse of expenses.

        almost on a par with French hypocrisy.

        Check out the picture of the hot Muslim totty who is the girlfriend of French Minister for immigration, the very one trying to ban the Burka.

          You’re right LM.

          Hot muslim totty indeed,

          but she’s hot because she’s NOT wearing a burqa.

          A good looking girl, LM. Not too disimilair to Mrs H, not muslim, but in France arabs always talk to her in their own language and are insulted when she replies in French. Mind you, in Israel they talk to her in Israeli. In Italy, etc, etc.

          France is full of good looking arab chicks, most of whom do not want to marry a muslim.

          Why is wanting to ban the horrible burqa and falling in love with a good looking woman hypocricy?

          If I go to a strongly muslim country I cover my head, out of respect for the home culture.

          Why should we not expect the same courtesy in the west and women take their sacks off?

          • Doris says:

            London muslim – you clearly don’t understand the word hypocrisy. It would be hypocritical if she was wearing a burka – but she isn’t. She may disagree with the burka aswell. There’s nothing hypocritical about that.

          • The reason they don’t want to marry a fellow muslim is that they don’t want to be treated as a subhuman slave for the rest of their lives. It’s great being a muslim if you’re a bloke but shite for women.

            The only reason they wear the burka is because their fathers or brothers will thrash them if they don’t. The muslim men of course can wear what they like – jeans, t-shirts woteva.

          London Muslim i hate to point it out and cause offence, but you muslims would get on a lot better and quicker and more peaceful progress on your crusade for a world caliphate if you made your women more avaliable.

          It’s a no brainer for the majority to choose between marrying a nice classy bird like Simon Cowells or a fat, two kids by two different dads dole scrounging uk chav bird.

          But some of your pals are stuck covering them up, cutting their genitali off, honour killing them for talking to non muslims etc. etc.

          You do have to sort of laugh at the general incompetence of it all, but hey thats mass religion for you, if you look beyond religion a fact of nature is the easiest way to a man is via his dick.

        So Dave Cameron says he will not allow Tory MPs to escape the law and avoid punishment. What a joke! Andrew MacKay`s elevation puts Cameron and the Tories in a very bade light – and it is not true that it is nothing to do with them. This reward for fraud is an outrage to public decency and an affront to the politicak system. MacKay should be prosecuted and imprisoned, along with his evil wife Julir Kirkbride. Public comment please, Mr Cameron!

        This cash is largely going anyway.

        Going the same way, and to the same place the power has now gone, which is somewhere in Belgium, or France.

        As I predicted, the PM’s expenses scam has come and almost gone, while the MEPS expenses scam has been sidelined or completely ignored.

        I would be a fine thing if the power of corporate cash did not have such a disproportionate influence over our lives in general. For this to happen now, the power of corporate cash must also be removed from where the already corrupted power now is. Which is clearly, and it seems permanently with a group of establishment selected, and infinetely corrupted puppets, namely The European Commission, and Council of Ministers.

        A sort of cleaning up the stable after the horse has died of deliberate neglect. Pointless, but it does look better, should the RSPCA care to un-expectantly turn up.

        Sarah Palin – who I would definitely NOT want to be the next US President – was correct when she talked about death panels. That is basically what we have with NICE and the NHS. In the US someone in their 80s would still get cancer treatment whereas here it would be “the drugs are to expensive” “not a long life expectancy.” Would you trade in your health insurance for that?

      The problem – in my recent experience – is with the GP. Once my mum got into the hospital system her treatment (cancer) was excellent. They couldn’t have been more sensitive/efficient/caring etc. But it took nearly 6 months of her GP pissing about before she saw a consultant. In fact we diagnosed her condition – via the internet – before he did and insisted he referred her. She was seen within a week and treatment started the week following. The GP was still bollocking on about the symptoms being ‘her age’.

        Have to disagree, to an extent, from my recent experience. My GP is pretty dilligent, referred me to a consultant within a week. Saved my life no less. Think it all being a bit hit and miss is the problem – the fact that doctors are themselves only human, prone to error, or in some cases are just lazy bastards. Unacceptable when they are literally dealing with life & death. But that’s, errr, life.

          Not as easy as you might want to think: most of your top choices are likely to enforce a rigid points/needs-based system. Processes are onerous and slow – for example, Canada takes about two years to reach the point where you can pack your bags and move.

          Nobody wants to live within a culture which feels alien and leaves them ill at ease. The Greeks knew that exile was punishment.

          Before making that decision, do very careful research – and be very sure that you will miss neither your friends nor the trivial details of your current life. Silly things like Bovril-flavoured crisps and PAXO stuffing.

      They’ve already explicitly said that they don’t want to campaign/mention anything that they’ve ever done; they only want to make it about “what happens next”.

      The tories can validly ignore what the tories did back when they were in power, because it was long ago and a large number of the current shadow cabinet weren’t even MPs at the time, or at least weren’t ministers. Besides which, they left labour with a fantastic economic legacy at the time that they were ejected.

      Labour, however, can’t use the “I wasn’t there” defence, because all the current cabinet are responsible for completely destroying the economy, ruining our international reputation diplomatically, and generally making everything they touched turn to shit.

      Brown’s basically said “I don’t care that the country’s bankrupt, and I don’t want to even think about why that happened. The important thing is that you let us get in again to have another go and don’t let those nasty tories in”

    pointlessly angry observations says:

    I am increasingly fed up. The crisis in Greece is being described by the Eurocrats as an “attack” by “speculators”. For fuck’s sake, if you run an economy based on the black market, unrestrained public spending, retirement at 50 etc. then why the fuck should people lend you money ?

    Pension funds are funded by workers savings, hedge funds are funded by private capital invested by people who have worked for it. Why the fuck should the institutions who have a explicit obligation to look after their client’s funds lend money to a company/government that can’t or won’t pay it back? What a fucking joke.

    So now, we are going to have “significant announcements” on the EU’s role in regulating the economies of the 27 countries in Europe on Thursday or Friday. These announcements will include “supervision” and a “radical shift in the economic and social role of the EU” (according to an unnamed Eurocrat) – for this read further political integration as Von Rumpy and Baroso’s comments allude to. This is despite the fact that the whole fucking problem is caused by a fucking rigid, ideologically driven, undemocratic over regulated post socialist nightmare called the EU and the Euro. If Greece was independent, then spending their grandchildren’s futures on the fucking parasitic public sector and unions would not be an option (I know that’s what we’re doing here in the UK, but we have one last chance – at the next budget to calm the markets.

    So now, here in the people’s utopian socialist republic of harworkingfamiliesteacherspolicedoctorsandnurses, we have a new campaign, supported by the economically illiterate, illiberal and communists (sorry, “liberals”) called the “robin hood tax”*. Apparently, a global tax of 0.05% on all bank transactions that don’t involve “members of the public” (- who is and who isn’t a member of the public?) can raise £xxxx billion per annum for use in combating climate change, alleviating poverty, funding the NHS, funding international aid etc. with no effect on the “public” at all. Well blow me down, removing £xxxx billion from the economy and adding an additional level of bureaucracy to financial transactions clearly won’t effect profits (your pension, your interest rate on your deposit, your investments in funds etc.) or the price of commodities, CDS etc.

    The real question with the “robin hood tax” is where the fuck does the money go and who the fuck will administer it? What a fucking joke. No fucking taxation without representation – if this madcap idea goes through then I guarantee that it will fund either the EU, UN or some other fucking corrupt organisation that will ride roughshod over our fucking sovereignty.

    *I like the fact this has had to be rebranded owing to the fact that the original name “tobin tax” is forever associated with a serial killer.

      You low achievers never learn anything. I have said that I WILL BE BACK. My influence and that of my darling husband Andrew will be undiminished and our influence on the Conservative Party will ring through the decades. David Cameron is simply simply marvellous and he WILL look after both Andrew and myself. You scoffed when I said it before but now you know. Andrew and myself will remain influential high earners and dominant political forces. The name JULIE KIRKBRIDE will resonate through the Conservative Party for years to come – just you see!

        Political integrity and British justice have both taken a hammering in all this, and David Cameron is complicit in both. Bromsgrove is still a mess thanks to the Kirkbride antics, and it is impossible for decent people to vote Conservative in this constituency. Kirkbride arrogantly boasts that she will triumph, and she has. She has escaped the law and any censure whatsoever from David Cameron. What an apalling state of affairs.

          The significance of the Kirkbride/MacKay affair, its aftermath, the Cameron factor, and its impact on the Conservative Party and its prosepects, should not be ignored. All the predictions accurately given on these matters are coming to fruition, It is impossible for Cameron to take the action neede, even assuming he would want to. Houses of Iniquity have many secrets – who will start the demilition work? In the meantime fraudsters and worse continue to prosper.

        Pyongyang, February, 9 (KCNA) — One day in February Juche 98 (2009) General Secretary
        Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to the Wonsan Shoes Factory.

        He took a pair of women’s shoes in his hands to examine its shape, color and weight and found it so heavy.

        After a while, he told officials that shoes produced by the factory were very heavy and their soles were so thick that a pair of soles was enough for two or three pairs of shoes.

        He then righted their wrong view that even such shoes should be fully supplied to people and urged them to produce light and quality ones for them.

        The officials were touched much by his loving care of the people.

          The happy events taking place in all fields of the revolution and construction one after another herald a rosy future of a thriving nation in which everything prospers, he noted, earnestly calling once again for glorifying this year, the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Party, as a year of great changes and thereby bringing about a decisive turn in building a great prosperous and powerful nation.

    Mr. Brown, Mr. Red, Mr. Green, Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Beige.

    GORDON: Hey, why am I Mr. Brown?
    BLAIR: Because you’re a faggot.
    GORDON: Very funny .Why can’t we pick our own colours?
    MANDELSON:: No way, no way. Tried it once, doesn’t work. You got four guys all fighting over who’s gonna be Mr. Black, but they don’t know each other, so nobody wants to back down. No way. Anyway, Ali Campbell is Mr Black. I pick. You’re Mr. Brown. Be thankful you’re not Mr. Yellow.
    GORDON: Yeah, well I’d rather be Mr Yellow. Mr. Brown is a little too close to Mr. Shit.
    MANDELSON:: You’re not Mr. Yellow. Some guy on some other job is Mr. Yellow. You’re Mr. Brown.
    Ed MILIBAND: Who cares what your name is?
    GORDON: Yeah, that’s easy for your to say, you’re Mr Green. Easy for you to say who cares.. You have a politically acceptable sounding name. Alright look, if it’s no big deal to be Mr. Brown, you be Mr Brown.
    MANDELSON:: Hey! NOBODY’S trading with ANYBODY. This ain’t a goddamn, fucking House of Lords meeting, you know. I’ll say them again.

    Balls is Mr Red.
    Miliband is Mr Green.
    Hain is Mr Orange.
    Blair is Mr Blue.
    Darling is Mr Beige
    And you’re Mr Brown.

    Now listen up, Mr. Brown. There’s two ways you can go on this job: my way or the highway. Now what’s it gonna be, Mr. Brown?
    GORDON: Ok . Ok. Its just that, you know, who wants to have a name of a vengeful fuckin’ incompetent imbecile? Couldn’t I be Mr Pink instead?
    MANDELSON: I’m Mr Pink!
    GORDON: Ok.. fine I’ll be Mr shit. Mr fuckin’ shit. Can’t I be Mr Champagne?
    MANDELSON: Woodward is Mr Champagne.! I ain’t tellin’ you again Gordon. Are you coming with us to rob this country blind or are you stayin’ here with your dick in your coffee?
    GORDON: I was just saying, if you give someone a shit name they’re liable to do a shit job. That’s all I was sayin’. But Fine. You’re the boss. I’ll be Mr shitty.
    But I’m not in a good place right now. It might make me all unstable and depressed.
    MANDELSON: Whoopee-do. . You go with Blair and Darling, Mr Brown.

DP’s favorite headline is “U.S. Stands Alone on Land Mine.” Although graphically as creative as a pancake, you’re sure to howl at the copy, which continually adulates Kim Jong Il as having “perfectly controlled the complicated situation of the world.” Of course, don’t expect much on the mess the leader has perfectly controlled in his own back yard, namely four consecutive years of famine that one UN official said could turn into “one of the biggest humanitarian disasters of our lifetime.”

    You all know me, not the one to be a scaremonger or anything like that.

    However a death tax would effectively mean that the government would have an even larger incentive to kill off as many retired people as possible, then they already do.

    After all if a large terrorist attack took place, or for some strange reason large amounts of mainly old people started to mysteriously pass on, due to a man made disease or biological weapon. Then the government would not only stand to save a fortune in NHS costs, it would now also make a fortune. This fortune will only go to service government borrowing, but I am sure plenty enough of it will make it to MP’s, and MEP’s pockets.

    I would not like anyone to panic, or do anything silly at this stage. However if for ANT reason old people did start to disproportionately die off, then you can’t say you were not warned. Perhaps you may even look back and remember this post.

    The ruins reign of terror makes an interesting read , for what Tony described as a clunking fist , we now come to see a little more akin to whitehall rendition , yes the great leader is surrounded by idiots who are unable to do anything to his liking CW is unsure which party has the best dispatch techniques , with the lib dems its the goblet of hemlock grown in there own back garden , the tories can be ruthlessly efficient in the ninja style , but the cluncking fist almost reverts back to medieval warefare ,but without the chivalric code .

    CW is amused at all the SNP blogging going on in scots newspapers and wonders how come they think Alec Salmond is there saviour ,yet if you follow through his euro aspirations and its economic arguments they would be trashed . Looking at how the euro is working it must be dawning on quite a few scots that they would be stuck in the greece problem . Alec Salmond has never made a case for the UK union with its own currency , which makes me think how lobsided the politics has become . Add in the scottish sense of socialism and you realise that it was high time the Lab/snp dialogue had a contender . Both Lab/snp have used Thatchers legacy as the guideline for how scots should think of Conservatives , never giving her any credit for giving them money with real value , the Aberdeen oil success and its progress in its high quality food .
    Now we have Labour scotish raj who have set a new set of circumstances of debts and by there own admission drastic cuts in public service budgets . The SNP can make no claim that what the ruin has done will not affect Scotland .
    Alec Salmond used to work for RBS , a bank which before Fred Goodwin and other members of the complicit board began dining at the best Edinburgh resturants ,was highly respected . Theres HBOS and Dunfermaline building society all funning fantasy casino ecnomics , overseen by the ruin .

    If the scots really want analyse who has made them poor ,it was Labour who ran the fantasy ecnomics scheme , with its centralised money systems and risky business ideas and Alec Salmond who conveniently never mentioned the risks .

    The union has some natural and obvious benefits , more so with the euro fanfare looking like a bad tune , the union shared the boom of the industrial revolution , doesnt it strike any scots as odd that they have had years of Independence propoganda whilst running up huge banking debts and its city drug and alcohol problems have not gone away .
    Its not so much SNP propoganda didnt bring back some scottish pride , it was whilst all this was going on other bits were just falling onto the same the same underclass that the rest of the UK was expereincing .

    Even if some scots do feel a little cold to the conservatives , given that Salmond and Labour havent delivered and have no guarentee in their current political trajectories, perhaps David Cameron deserves a carefull listening too , some of us this side of the boarder have got quite excited by some of his teams social polices .

    The union is in my view the best vehicle for us to benefit from , I do not want to feel a stranger in broken britain , constituted in part of a resentfull , hostile and fractured scotland !

    How come that useless Huhne Iain Dale hasn’t mentioned anything about the central communist control Dave is excercising over local Conservative associations, the Joanne Cash affair being just the latest?

    Does he think everyone’s an idiot; that they’re going to vote for Dave’s New Blair party?

    And while Ime at it the ruins global bank tax wants kicking into the long grass , its bad enough with CEOS bleeding pension pots , whilst Cw can see some reform on the horizon , the ruin is giving the banks a 99 with a 2 flakes (or 2 takes) in it .

    First things banks should do is get toxic debts sorted out , cut rediculous salaries and start ensuring SME business lending is happening .

    Death Tax non response at Todays PMQs followed by kerrys tweet was a gift to the conservatives , no rebuttal from lib dems suggests its with them together with mansion tax , I think Clegg will come to regret this episode of Labour love in , still “going dutch” eh

    “Women from less well-off families are less likely to see cuddling and talking to a child as important”
    “And it follows the social gradient – women from less well-off families are less likely to see this as important.”
    “But then by the age of three, these children had more behavioural problems and worse cognitive skills.”

    And therein lies the problem with labour. Instead of trying to convince people that taking responsibility for their kids is a good idea, they just want to increase the minimum wage as a subsitute.

    Hey, if your kid’s got a DS then you don’t need to talk to them, right?

    fucking tossers.

      Labour still hasn’t quite come to terms with the fact that for all that an act where someone juggles with dog turds might look interesting from a distance, it still means your hands smell of dog shit.

      Under Labour, if you are on benefits you become better off the more kids you have. As for the minimum wage and tax credit bollocks, what other country would take tax off you in one hand only to give it you back with another. The tax credit system was designed not for the poor fuckers who need the cash but to supply more public sector jobs and hence more Labour votes. Why the fuck just not have a tax code that enables you to pay less tax if you earn under £16K. Absolutely fucling brain dead these people….

        And I heard another prick on Radio 5 on the way in to work this morning stating that the rich live longer than the poor and that the gap isn’t shrinking, even though the poorest peoples health has improved dramatically over the past decade. Well, I assumed that if the riched people packed up smoking as well as the poor that they to would live longer and this is what they have done. This prick needs to get out more. The reason poor people live shorter lives is because the NHS isn’t as good as Bupa, that they smoke, drink and take drugs, eat shit food and don’t exercise. In addition, if you dare to venture into some poor estates you will see many people who look very similar. Inbreeding? I don’t know but they all look gaunt, overweight (food?) or underweight (drugs?) and many seem to be carrying a wlking stick.

        yep; in my situation it’s especially ridiculous (being self-employed and not very rich) – the amount of cash that I get back from tax credits is almost identical to the amount of tax that I pay in the first place; it’s only a few pennies’ difference.

        If they just raised the thresholds to the relevant level then they wouldn’t need any paperwork at all from me apart from proof of income; I wouldn’t need to pay any tax, they wouldn’t need to pay me any credits, and I wouldn’t need an accountant to work it all out. But instead I have to fill out reams of fucking forms every year just so that I can end up in exactly the same position as when I started.

        It’s completely mad, and is obviously purely to create un-necessary public sector jobs to push pointless bits of paper around.

    Off topic I know but I’ve just been reading about the Greece debacle and the fact that now Labour have signed us up to the Eu Constitution, via the Lisbon Treaty, we are now liable to bail out failing EU states. So, we could be liable for 4bn Euro, just for Greece, never mind when Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland start putting their hand out too. Just where the fuck are we supposed to magic 4bn Euro from when we are ourselves fucking skint? Brown, Cameron, take note. There is an election coming up. Both you pair of twats have reneged on your promises to the British people with regard to the EU Constitution/Lisbon Treaty. Don’t for one minute think that you will get away at the ballot box if you start handing over hard earned taxpayers cash to support a country that has undertaxed itself and paid its public sector too much. If the EU supports Greece with hard cash, the rest of the PIIGS will not be far behind. Ireland in particular has a history of grabbing cash from the EU then wasting it. Any country that cannot abide by the rules of the Euro should be booted out. Worldwide fiscal stability is more important than political face. If the Euro cannot be a stable currency because some members are unable to take the hard decisions required to enable it to be so then either the currency should go or the countries that fail should leave it.
    Also you pair of pricks, bear in mind that the UK is also a fucking joke economy, thanks to Labour and that we are not a million miles away from where Greece is. We too need to understand just what cuts and taxes we need to sort out our mess and I for one would appreciate it if you could share with the electorate what you are planning to do, prior to the election.

    This is one of the most popular political blogs on the intraweb and is well read by both Labour and Tory stooges. Take note of what I have written. Do not use our fucking cash, which is in short enough supply as it is, to bail out other fuckers mess.

      Brown off to sort out Greek economy ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha is there no beginning to this mans self analysis.

      Note to brown – as Chancellor you were utterly useless – as a PM so dire it actually beggars belief – I for one can not believe that you are still PM, that the back benchers don’t have the guts to get rid of you! We are the laughing stock of the world with banana man / mr bean leading us from crisis to crisis.

      Greece don’t need you to sort out their finances – you have proved time and time again it is a task way beyond you – you are about as effective as an ashtray on a motorbike.

      No more money can be spent on other peoples problems – I object to paying for Greek beaurocrats – we pay for enough over here.

      PS – is now a good time to buy euros for hols?

        rather disappointed says:

        “It’s rather disappointing” what is? the fact that the public were mislead, the fact the Labour big hitters ignored once again? the fact that hundreds of people will lose their jobs? the fact that many people will face yet another year struggling? another UK firm sold abroad? 13 years of NuLabour? the quality of his sandwich? JT’s performance at football?

        What Mr Mandleson is “rather disappointing”?

        a ******* shambles would be one of the first things I would say.

    CCHQ is planning to shed up to 2,000 jobs over the next financial year as it strives to “do more for less”, it was confirmed today.

    The job losses, outlined in a newly published financial plan, will form part of a major cost-cutting drive.
    CCHQ said between 1,500 and 2,000 funded posts were “likely” be cut at a time when the politburo is “moving towards more of a commissioning role in the delivery of services”.

    The Parliamentary body set up to police expenses will cost about six times the amount MPs have been ordered to repay, the BBC has learned.

    Figures show the annual cost of running the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority will be £6.5m.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8509815.stm

    £6.5m to make sure these c’unts don’t cheat?

    What the fuck is the problem with MPs being treated the same as the rest of the population and paying for an accountant and using the Inland Revenue?

    This is so outrageous its unbelievable.

      Don’t ask us, we all know the answer, it’s because they want to fleece us.

      Ask the question to the BBC/Sky and other media instead, not to the politicians; it’s the media who should be crucifying all politicians who don’t say “we don’t want all this rules/committees shit, we just want to live under the same laws as everyone else”
