Tories Rattled By Covert Lib Dem Sniffing
This email has been forwarded to Guido’s inbox this morning. CCHQ have put their campaigners on alert to a potential Lib Dem line of attack:
From: Mackintosh, David
Sent: 05 February 2010 09:46
To: All Battleground Directors; All Campaign Directors; All Regional Directors; All Regional Press Officers
Subject: PPCs who are councillors
Importance: HighDear all,
For your information – I have received a number of e-mails regarding Freedom of Information requests submitted to councils requesting information on our councillors’ expenses where the councillor is also our PPC. The requests come from Tom Smithard who is based at Lib Dem HQ in Cowley Street. He is using a Googlemail account to request these and is using his private address and mobile number (xx Bxxxxx Axxxxx, Cxxxxxxx, Surrey SMX XXX / 07xxx xxx xxx)
Please let me know if you know of any instances where this has happened. Thanks to everyone who has already alerted me.
David
Tom Smithard (pictured) is Cowley Street’s grandly titled Parliamentary Campaigns & Intelligence Analyst and it seems he has rattled the Tories. The holier than now Liberals are attempting to drag candidates into the expenses scandal before they are even MPs. Doing it covertly through personal email addresses even though an FOI request is an FOI request wherever it comes from.
Cowley Street better hope CCHQ don’t retaliate with some FOI requests concerning their PPCs and intriguing leaflet printing financing.
The Tories have already started their fightback in Lewes asking questions about how Norman ‘Mr Clean’ Baker uses his expenses to finance his local party.
Didn’t Nick Clegg take 2,000,000 from the EU to fund his ?
Nick Clegg? Is he still in politics? I thought he was just passing through!
cleg – large swift fly the female of which sucks blood of various animals.
clegg, horse fly, horsefly, gadfly – any of various large flies that annoy livestock.
doesn’t mention which bits are sucked by the males.
that’s the oatenfly
Annoying little buggers they are. Then there’s the Cameronfly, and the deadly Mandlesonfly,they tell lies about chocolate factories.
seems they are on to something then
if there was nothing there why would CCHQ get into such a strop
the last thing we need is more expenses piggies
The following sums up the Lib-Dems:-
“”A bogus international bonds dealer who donated £2.4m to the Liberal Democrats has been found guilty of stealing more than £30m from clients.
Southwark Crown Court heard Michael Brown defrauded £36m, including £8m from former Manchester Utd chairman Martin Edwards.
He was tried in his absence after skipping bail and is still on the run.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said the party had done all the necessary checks and was “totally unaware” of the fraud. “”
Needless to say CleggyBoy has not seen fit to repay the stolen monies.
O/T I know.
Ditherer brown has rightly been pilloried for the havoc he has wrought on our beleaguered economy but he deserves “credit” in one area.
We know he failed to finance bliar’s Iraq adventure. We know he withheld funds from the armed forces much to the annoyance of bliar and the detriment of our boys and girls.
But at least we are lucky he stood against bliar’s attempts to take us into the disaster that is the Euro!
Back on topic, Guido has already pointed out St. Teather’s use of expenses to fund their party! Why are CCHQ sitting ontheir hands!!!
Memberus parlimentrus, a blood sucking genus
Is there an organogram showing the relative importance of Battleground Director, Campaign Director and Regional Director? It all looks very Dungeons & Dragons.
Probably more enneagram for the magic inner circle.
Guido is missing the big news of the day – the truth about Labour’s evil gerrymandering and social engineering:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/telegraph-view/7199457/The-deceit-of-Labours-immigration-policy.html
Labour are complete and utter traitors to the English on immigration – we now have the smoking gun (courtesy of Migration Watch and their FOI request) – there was a deliberate policy of mass immigration under Labour to socially engineer this country!
NuLabour are worse traitors than Philby, Burgess and MacClean!
Frankly my dear chap,I don’t give a damn.
Today is PMQ’s and I will make as arse of myself again
The Cadbury factory in Bristol is now going to close with 400 redundancies.
The staff are not happy because they are getting paid Buttons
BUT I SAVED THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY FOR ALL THE FAT LITTLE KIDDIES!!1!
IT STARTED IN AMERICA!
CADBURY DON’T MAKE KITKATS, OR BANANAS, SO FUCK THEM!!
what about the 400+ jobs in Glaxo labs in Haerlow, more high tech, higher skills, greater potential for wealth creation than turning out ertaz chocolate.
GLAXO MAKE MY MEDICATION – THEIR JOBS ARE SAFE!
I NEEEEEEEEED THEM!!
GALAXY is my most favourite chocolate
Thanks Ed.the hits are fucking great on my site now
ertaz?
Ertaz chocolate? Not seen that since leaving the vaterland.
Those working for Nestle can be rest assured that, up to May at least, your jobs will be safe. As the makers of Kit Kat, the cursed one is a large addicted consumer of your most successful product.
As for Cadbury…
This is all being dealt with by Sir John Choclitt at the Choclitt Inquiry isn’t it ??
Choc clit. Its on my to do list.
I’ve sucked on many of those chocolate boy clittys!
And so have I, my boy, although I much prefer the cafe au lait ones!
It’s been referred to me actually!
Any prospect of DC reminding our glorious imbecile that the Cadbury so-called promises made by him and Mandelslime were just macho sabre-rattling? And that the reason they couldn’t act was their abandonment of the ‘public interest’ measure in 2002?
This morning Toady invited Lord M to discuss this. For some peculiar reason he couldn’t make it, although normally they have to keep the doors of the radio car securely locked, such is is craving for publicity. Odd, that.
I think many people have decided simply not to vote for the incumbent MP.
IT IS THE ONLY WEAPON WE HAVE.
No it isn’t – we can always RIOT if we could only get organised!
Won’t stop some useless wanker getting elected, though, and trousering £60k+ exes for doing sod all but support the gummint.
It’s the right thing to do.
Why are they bothering? Do they think another exes scandal will make any odds? Nobody actually *wants* to vote for Dave’s shower anyway. They’re only doing it to get rid of Brown, and the libdems are a pointless waste of space. “Liberal”? Those gaggers and busy bodies? Democrats? When they can merrily back AV, purpose-built to ensure the tyranny of the majority?
Digging for dirt and smearing ??
Have the LimpDims taken a leaf out of Liebour’s book ?
these days the LibDumps are Liebour
I think you will find thaty these days, the Lib Dims are Liebore and unfortunately Cameotory also.
ooohhh I just love digging for dirt and smearing it.
woo woo – Cleveland Steamer coming right up
You know Bristol well then…
(flapflapflap) SQUWAAAARRKK!!! (ping) (squirt)
Couldn’t give a rat’s arse who is playing what dirty trick on who. None of the top three parties are worth a vote anymore.
They can smear and attack and lie and cheat all they like, it doesn’t impress me and it’s not big and it’s not clever and I will not be voting for them.
We all know that the tories, liberals and labour all want the same basic agenda to play out. Sure there are slight variations, but they are all puppets of the same establishment and they all are pushing this country towards the same rabidly anti-British goal.
They can all fuck reeeet off!
Agreed just shares out the seats more equal between the major troughers and tries to keep any emerging party out
That’s the entire purpose of AV – stop the bernpers
They must be worried then !
If we get to the point where political parties are funded by the tax payer, I’m gonna fucking start one and claim several million from the state.
Ditto
As far as I am concerned they can all go and stick their heads up a dead bears bum!! Its UKIP for me.
And me But alas i think turn out could be as low asa 20/22%
people are just totally fucked off with bent politicians
they dont care who gets in there all the same !
Interesting point. In all the frenzy for ‘change’, perhaps someone should sponsor a bill that renders any election with less than (say) 50 per cent turnout void and hands government to the military.
Cat….pigeons!
..or direct rule by Her Majesty.
Quite right, Mr Ned.
This sort of despicable behaviour comes from exactly the cast of mind that has got politics into the mess it is currently in.
If they want my vote they could try re-introducing principle to their conduct, but the problem is that very few of them would recognise even the idea, let alone consider it seriously.
Like others, my vote this time will probably be a protest one, given to the least popular party on the list, just to spite the big three.
Misuse of ‘democracy’? Yes, but far less egregious than their behaviour.
Vote for us. We won’t rob you.
UKIPs the one for you neddy…you say it often enough so we are used to you saying what you do
The Times: Gordon Brown’s care plan misleads the elderly, say councils
To be fair, it’s a waste of time and resources trying to woo the alzheimers vote…
A very good point.
I know, or I think I know, I can’t decide, yes I will ask them, after all in the land of the ……. I will be king.
how many fucking times do I have to tell my OAP mother that you cannot buy an “Egg Macmuffun” at 4.30 in the afternoon
Come election day they’ll remember you said that, MisterE.
The Alzheimer’s votes are the ones they’re looking to locate and encourage to get on the proxy postal voting scam.
I’m betting nursing homes will be recording a bumper turnout in the election. All co-ordinated by those tireless little drones who really, really, really believe that one day the ‘party’ will recognise their tireless devotion and award them with a safe seat. Just like Jim Devine.
I’m going for Mr Gladstone again.
I will vote for Mr Brown – he looks after our good Victoria really well.
I was about to get pulled over on the motorway for speeding by traffic cops today.
Luckily for me. A little old woman came screaming past at about 130 in a Toyota, looking all flustered and nervous.
The police immediately switched on the sirens and went belting off after her.
They must have been thinking the same thing as I was thinking.
Yep, she’s probably fucking nicked it.
The car in front keeps going faster
Big pedal slow, little pedal fast.
(There have been 26 reported cases in Europe of a Toyota accelerator pedal “sticking in a depressed position” )
didn’t some of brown’s ministers swap Jags for a Prius, perhaps they could lend it to McDoon?
It probably wouldnt start.
Using a is a three-line NeoLab policy FFS – The majority cave in of course – best story was when they tried to make Lord Digby Jones take one but he told them to f*c k off and find him a BRITISH car – the bigger the better. He got a Jag – a BIG one – 4.2 litre – 16mpg
‘Sticking in a depressed position’
That sounds like a reasonable description of Gordon’s position inside the Bunker.
““sticking in a depressed position””
Dave @ PMQs: “Is the Prime Minister himself equipped with a Toyota throttle cable?”
Is a Toyota throttle cable long enough to go around both a lamp post and a politician or bankster’s neck? There must be many more Toyotas out there than pianos.
Tell me about it!
yes its the brown problem ‘sticking in a depressed position’
The nasty wing of the limp dims – never underestimate the ability of a limp dim to take hypocracy to a new level.
Cheeky !
The Italians had the best idea in the 60s and 70s – have a new government every week so everyone gets a turn at being prime minister and a guaranteed pension.
And if we all take it in turns to do a sot of time in prison, we wouldn’t need to spend anymoney on the police or courts and the real crims would at least do some bird!
and then they got the recycled hair rinser berlosbogbrush..that fixed ‘em
I have to say – it’s one thing to get dressed up in fancy dress and go as a ballerina. But that c*nt looks like he went the extra mile and shaved his armpits.
Ohhhh, check out that glowing red armpit. That’s got to hurt.
He did his Bikini line as well
I have it on good authority that his ‘text’ invitation was to go as a BELLY dancer
.
His fellow guests thought him a little q*eer !
What is more surprising is that Smithard is doing this himself, when he is so readily identifiable as a Cowley Street apparatchik. 30 seconds effort on Google identifies him very clearly – indeed, when I looked just now, entering “Tom Smithard” led to Google automatically offering me “Tom Smithard Liberal Democrats” as a refined search previously used by 5000+ people.
Given he lives in a Lib Dem consitutency (Burstow’s Sutton & Cheam) which does not lack for deluded local activists, I am surprised that he did not get an unknown proxy to do the dirty work for him.
By the way, you don’t need to be so coy about his home address – he has it on his Lib Dem activist home page.
Useful. We were going to send the parcel to his office, but his home address is more certain.
Don’t let Guido do the surprise parcel delivery – he fucked up last time he tried it a few years back!
I suspect that this tactic originates from one Peter Chegwyn, of Gosport. He has been trying this one out down here, for the past year.
The problem is that his expenses are also somewhat suspect!
If one relates this to the latest Lib Dem Campaign Tactics Manual, also produced by Mr. Chegwyn, the picture becomes clearer. In this set of documents, Mr. Chegwyn advocates the start of rumours against opponents, which might not be based on fact! His hypothesis is that shit sticks, whether real or not!
He is renowned for his efforts in this area. He is quietly credited for the Lib Dem success in the by-election in Gorgon Clown’s back yard! There are also nasty rumours that he was responsible for the destruction of Peter Tatchell’s political demise.
Of course Mr Chegwyn has his own problems. He pleaded guilty to offences against our rules concerning democratic votes and was banned from public office for 2 years……… a sentence against which he has appealed. He is also to be arraigned against the inspectorate in early March; “on more serious charges”!
You really should research the Lib Dem Party Documentation much more thoroughly! They are illuminating, to say the least!
BTW. An apocryphal story holds that, when Chegwyn’s name was raised with Ming-Campbell, he was seen to spit on the floor of the Lobby!………. a necessary evil, it seems………
I used to live in the constituency next to the Maximum Imbecile’s that went LibDem in a by-election immediately after the last election.
Two things stood out. The incumbent was a Labour bed-blocker who had been at death’s door even before the election but thought it best to deal with her constituents requirements from her deathbed thereby accruing a few more months pay and pensionable service for her partner.
It also coincided with the printer company LexMark pulling out after the subsidy to pay Labour voters non-market rates dried up.
I was delighted they got shot of Labour. And even more delighted they didn’t elect and S&P candidate.
The only party I saw electioneering in the middle of Dunfermline were the LibDems. I guess Labour thought, as with so many of their ‘Stepford’ constituencies they had only to stick a A.N.Other (Labour) on the ballot paper and the zombie voters would do the rest.
Ha. Go fuck yourself Labour.
Sorry. when I said ‘deal with her constituents concerns from her deathbed’ I meant lie around on her deathbed not dealing with any fuckers concerns.
What a load of absolute old cobblers from Old Grumpy!
Nothing to do with me except when he says I have my own problems he ought to now report that I won an Appeal in the High Court last Monday against a complaint originally from the Conservative Leader of Gosport Council, got my full costs, and heard the Judge refer to a Conservative Party leaflet issued against me as being “defamatory”.
I would suggest the Conservative publisher of that “defamatory’ leaflet now has more to fear than I do!
As for Old Grumpy, if he wishes to foam at the mouth about anything why not have a go at the sexist Conservative Party Chairman in Gosport, Alan Scard (known to all and sundry as Alan B’Scard) who embarrassed David Cameron by saying he would never vote for a woman “unless she was attractive”.
Or is Old Grumpy perhaps very closely related to Alan B’Scard?
With that kind of old-fashioned sexist nonsense still alive and half-kicking in the Gosport Conservative Party, there’s hope for the rest of us yet!
” Liberals are attempting to drag candidates into the expenses scandal”, well it goes without saying anything :-))
what else have they to do?
A case of “Little trousers – big behinds!”
The Tories in East Herts better get a grip. The Executive on the Council are the greatest bunch on dodgy nincompoops. One of them made it onto the 1000 List.
CCHQ don’t vet hard enough. This individual is as bent as a nine bob note.
The Lib Dems are too weak to be an effective opposition.
EHDC = Rotten Borough
Had David Cameron said anything about Labour’s immigration scandal yet?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1249797/Labour-threw-open-doors-mass-migration-secret-plot-make-multicultural-UK.html
snap
PMQ’s?
I would not count on it, he does not want to offend the immigration, PC, or the Green crowd in spite of the fact that most of them would rather gargle hydrofluoric acid than vote tory.
I do not understand these people at all. For everything that they accuse the tories of, labour have done far worse things.
better left to the Newspapers to ‘promote’ !! Methinks !
Really. I’m available
CMD will say nothing of interest to the British people on anything of substance, now or when elected.
Massive uncontrolled immigration and racial manipulation / Balkanisation?
The EU and its direct undemocratic control of virtually every aspect of our lives?
The corruption and deciet at the heart of the AGW fraud?
Secret courts abducting children?
Generations enslaved to ever higher taxation by Keynsian “economics” bloated debt and fiscal incompetence?
The systematic removal of our ancient rights and freedoms?
Promotion of the sexualisation of children in schools?
Bailing out banks with taxpayers money, effectively rewarding private corporate failure, with future public tax debt burdon?
Billions spent on international aid to countries like China and India, while the infrastructure of this country is crumbling?
The eternal wars entered into by this warmongering government?
The step by step removal of free speech and the Gulagisation of words that may be offensive to anyone and fascist thought control, that is it`s inevitable companion?
The destruction of real democracy and choice, by consensus politics?
There is plenty more that CMD could rip into the useless shower of shite who have and still are, engaged in treason and fraudulent behaviour while in government, but of course he will not, because he agrees with most of it.
No, you can be sure CMD will say nothing.
Don’t be ridiculous. What can Cameron possibly say without sounding like the BNP?
Anyway, Cameron won’t have any Policy, he has no Policy on anything.
I know as I’m a Tory. What Policies can I sell on the doorstep?
just produce a picture of gordon and ask the simple question..’do you want another 5 years of him’
In the countryside we have – since 1997 – classified this dilution of our indigenous communities as Labour’s ‘ethnic cleansing’ and a major part of its ‘strategy to rule for 1,000 years’ – like some other National Socialist regimes.
NuLibore = New National Socialism
That is so true – NuLiebour = New Nazis! Social engineering on a grand scale.
Immigration is about to blow Labour’s face off.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/7198329/Labours-secret-plan-to-lure-migrants.html
*Proof* that mass immigration was intended to fuel labour’s “social objectives”; trans. “Destroy England”.
Funny, I didn’t hear this on the BBC news this morning.
Well done Migrationwatch.
So the traitors in government who are worse than the Scotishites are the English who sat back and let it happen arn’t they MR STRAW
Straw, like his father, does not think that this country is worth fighting for and yes he hates the English. Google his comments about the English sometime. His hatred for the country that gave his family sanctuary is well documented.
Neather got there first. I think. Didn’t cause a ripple. Still won’t, is my guess.
The Sun is running with it this morning too. Giev it a week and the BBC will be forced to note the story, at which point it will, like climategate, be then accepted a legitimate inquiry by the rest fo the press, and Labour will then be utterly doomed. Thier only voters will be immigrants and public sector parasites. Dolescum dont’ vote as it clashes with telly.
Unfortunately, as the polls show, there are far too many of them and the Dreaded Gorgon might stay in power.
Your call on voting choice!
Good point. Wonder if Sky can be prevailed upon to run a 24 hr ladies mud-wrestling show on election day? Mind you, by then all those nice large men in black leather jackets will have called round to help fill in a postal vote (sign here, we’ll do the rest) so it would be a nugatory exercise.
We agree with the policy of mass immigration, we employ most of them – that is all!
Greece inside the Euro will become a Police State http://tinyurl.com/yl4ybb8
Britain in financial distress could also be faced with the implementation of Article 121 of the Lisbon Treaty where the EU is entitled to take effective control of countries where their economy is in crisis. Greece has already been taken over in this way.
Under Article 122, we can be compelled to bail out the eurozone.
Lisbon has arrived. The economic crisis facilitates the extension of EU power.
Vote UKIP.
Do you really think the tories will do anything about this? Cameron has made a promise to do NOTHING for 5 years and then if nothing happens, promise that he will look at putting solutions in the Manifesto for the election AFTER this one.
The choice is between voting for parties that might win, and carry on with the betrayal and sell out and treason, or vote for a solution. There is not a cat in hell’s chance that UKIP will win, but at least I will have a clean conscience knowing I voted for a solution, instead of a continuation of the treason under a new blue badge!
The choice between labour and tory feels like I am having to choose between keeping the Liver cancer or changing it for lung Cancer.
I WANT A CURE DAMMIT!
Why not vote BandPea? You would achieve you result with greater effect!
You know you want to!
Dear Mr Ned. (sarcasm off) I feel your pain, (sarcasm on). Unfortunately, your solution will turn out to be a palliative, relieving your stress without affecting your cancer. Just as Democracy is the worst form of government-except for all the others, so, at this time, the Conservatives are the worst political party – except for all the others. A fair number of Conservatives are going to vote for Social Democrat Dave because the alternative is unthinkable -5 more years of destruction in the tender care of Salvator Mundi.
Eastleigh 2005:
LD majority over con 568
UKIP vote 1669
LD MP has transferred from Brussels and leader of Europhiles in UK passing powers to Brussels asap.
UKIP literally keeping Huhnes in power.
No thanks.
Vote UKIP in the EU elections. A vote for UKIP in the General Election is a vote for NuLiebore!
We must get Brown turfed out and sent packing back to Scotland with his tail between his legs. Once we have a Conservative Government, we can start to holdit to account on topics like the EU, repatriation of powers and controlling immigration. A vote for UKIP now is no better than a wet fart!
You make the mistake of believing Cameron and the Tories are a genuine opposition to this madness. They aint. On issue after issue, they are in lock step agreement with the Labour party. Parliament is a cartel of the political classes conspiring amongst themselves to do as they fucking please without the consent of the British people.
On the specific issue of mass immigration, don’t let’s fool ourselves the Tories would be any different than Labour. Both parties support continued mass immigration into Britain regardless of the consequences, Tories out of corporate ‘cheap labour’ greed, and Labour out of Marxist malice. Both parties can go to hell.
try a hosepipe and the car exhaust
Makes you wonder if the whole financial crisis was engineered as a powergrab by the EU.
Surely they are too incompetent to do it right?
It started in America. That’s why Beach Ohama is cosying up to Sarko
How long do these hacks have to sleep on a story before rousing themselves to switch on a terminal?
All this was disclosed several weeks ago by one Andrew Neather, a NuLab apparatchik, writing in thelondonpaper.
At the time Melanie Phillips (in the Mail) and the D Tele duly exploded, but everyone else ignored it (inc of course our beloved Beeb; yes, the same organisation that appointed someone called Ahmed as head of religious broadcasting – another instance of the pinko establishment rubbing the majority’s face in the dirt).
And they wonder why people think of voting Banque Nationale de Paris.
“All this was disclosed several weeks ago by one Andrew Neather, a NuLab apparatchik, writing in thelondonpaper.”
Well, at that time, that was just his opinion. Labour rubbished what he wrote and denied that they ever had any such secret policy.
The reason for this latest interest in the story is that migration-watch have secured documentation from the cabinet, (via a FOIA request), that backs up and proves what Neather said in his article.
Labour DID have a secret policy to “open the floodgates” on immigration. Hence why at that time (2001-2008) any reference to the term “open the floodgates” in the media was met with howls of derision and claims of overt racism by labour.
Stones and glass houses spring to mind, but there you go.
The sooner all this shit is out in the open the sooner it won’t stink so much indoors.
Where’s that LimpDim, Mark Oaten ??
Look here Guido everyone in our wonderful country has equality of opportunity in all things and it works wonderfully well. I also have to say that Smithard person is well, well hard
I thought that LimpDems were sandal wearers.
Have they turned into scandal bearers ???
errr …. hmmmm
More coffee!. The first cup didn’t work.
The BBC does not report news, such as the Neather/Migration Watch confirmation on enforced mass immigration. They will only mention it when it becomes an HISSUE after the blogosphere has really gone to town. Migrationwatch have done us all a great service. Pity it is not a political party they would attract a great deal of support.
But when you consider that CAMERON has forbidden his candidates from mentioning the word (Immigration) it shows what a total waste of space this heir to Bliar or Bliar tribute act he really is.
This is now a subject, proven from official records (thanks to Migrationwatch and the Freedom of Information Act). That Cameron should really lay into Brown and his anti white cronies in his cabinet and party.
SOUND THE RACIST KLAXONS…
RACISTS !! RACISTS !! RACISTS !!
(This never fails to shut down the Immigration issue )
Dude, that’s *so* last week..
Bend down and pick up soap bitch
SOUND ALL THE KLAXONS!
LIGHT ALL THE BEACONS!
THE ECB IS COMING TO STEAL YOUR MONEY!
ARTICLE 122 IS COMING!
Treaty of Lisbon, Article 122.
Paragraph 1.
“Without prejudice to any other procedures provided for in the Treaties, the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, may decide, in a spirit of solidarity between Member States, upon the measures appropriate to the economic situation, in particular if severe difficulties arise in the supply of
certain products, notably in the area of energy.”
Paragraph 2.
Where a Member State is in difficulties or is seriously threatened with severe difficulties caused by natural disasters or exceptional occurrences beyond its control, the Council, on a proposal from the
Commission, may grant, under certain conditions, Union financial assistance to the Member State concerned. The President of the Council shall inform the European Parliament of the decision taken.
Beware of Greeks bearing begging bowls…
Apologies, Johnny Come Lately, for apparently copying your post in my earlier one (#89 above). Have only just got to yours.
I don’t understand.
Are you saying that troughing councillors should not be exposed if they are Conservatives? or just hinting that?
…. you still here?
No I’m in finland.
Trunt.
muted applause
fkinell – so am 1 ! Let’s meet for swabingrisch!
For troughing councillors go no further than East Herts.
The Executive are either stupid, amoral, immoral, downright dodgy or all four.
The other councillors are terrified and weak and dare not challenge.
A new broom is needed.
Only when the council tax goes up an further 4.9% this year will people wake up.
It is so tragic it defies belief.
Good job the Lib Dems are whiter than white.
And this from Liverpool.

The overweening arrogance of the pompous arse. Another purple-faced no-mark who obediently voted whichever way he was told his entire ‘career’ no doubt. A vacuous, worthless oxygen thief who will never become democracy so much as when it gives him a well-deserved P45.
a waste of good skin.
risky strategy for a bunch of shirt lifters
How about a FOI request to the Lib Dems as to how come they are running on stolen money?
Lib Dems, be very, very careful. Guns can point both ways.
Sorry, Guido. Not many will be reading today. The McCanns court case is being twittered by Sky on @hannahtp and they’ve just arrived in court.
The Limp Dims have got so many skeletons hidden in Council accounts departments across the UK that the sh*t will cover their men as well as any troughing Tory. The LDs are so predictable. They come on in the same old way and the Tories will see them off in the same old way.
But knowing the Lib Dems, one the their skeletons will be absolutely HUGE!
Well if you want to send the fuckers back you will have to get the b=p in power
Lib Dems sell their souls to Gordon ‘Banana Man’ Brown
Ah, Souls!
Just 2 days ago, Cleggy was pimping his rabble to the Tories. Has He No Shame?
And will that La Senza ad stop following me around? She’s not my type. I need patience and understanding and I’ve forgotten how to undo it all.
Shame? Clegg? Obviously a lot to be shamed for, but has he the ability to feel it? Doubtful.
Reports that Labour will impose a £20,000 death duty on grieving relatives to fund heatlhcare after the next election are a Tory lie – it is in fact £43,000.
The Liberal Democrats are still just as Two-Faced with Equality Issues as they were in the 1970s.
If 90 percent of ethnic minorities are anti-gay to the point of compulsive-obsessive the weak-bellied Dem’Libs’ can not be seen to be supporting the Gay Vote too loudly for fear of upsetting their other ‘chosen’ people.
No Liberal MP (Viz. Mark Oaten resignation- 2006) has ever ‘come out’ without having to resign soon afterwards or even dared to stand as an openly Gay candidate (Brian Paddick’s London Mayoral bid is pure window dressing in a contest they have already resigned to lose).
The Dem’Libs’ one-man, lone ranger spin machine could, if he really wanted attack a myriad of Labour defects: but instead prefers unapologetic cynicism in sniping at the other party in opposition.
It is cowardly not to face up too the playground bully, but instead to pick on the person (Dave) taking on the bully.
LibDems = Dirty Little Cringing Creeps
All too true.
How is wanting to know what the opposition’s up to “being rattled”? It seems like perfectly rational behaviour to me.
No, it is to flood individuals with spurious FOI requests.
Oh yes please.
Vice Cable in Twickenham might be bomb proof, BUT, his Lib-Dem council members most certainly are not. They brought in salaries rather than allowances and have a really checkered history with the sale of public assets and the granting of planning consents for big developments. And of course there’s always the Ice Rink gnawing away at their credibilty from the ’80′s.
More up-to-date its once again Twickenham riverside and the mooted sale to a public coy for the erection of riverside homes, with no afforable inclusion and the loss of local amenity.
Of course Richmond Council’s preferred bidder, with whom they have bedded on a number of occasions is Dawnay Day, sadly lost in the recent conflagration of the markets following credit crunch melt down and no longer available.
Those that initiate the sword must regard the stab in the back as an occupational hazard.
LibDem Councillors in Richmond are also thick as thieves with a truckload of disreputable property developers. Residents have to be continually on their guard against LibDem plans to concrete over every blade of grass in the borough with inappropriate development.
Schools in the borough are full of pupils from Hammersmith & Fulham and Wandsworth to the detriment of local pupils but the Lib Deb Councillors too busy lining their pockets to be bothered to do anything about it.
if someone is a member of a LibDem council is it any suprise they seek to line their own pockets…they’re not going anywhere nationally so to be expected
Yes, very good point.
The 6th form college in Egerton Road is a case point.
Full of outsiders, who have appaling manners and have been proven to be violent and larcenous in the extreme. Staff at Twickenham station have been assaulted and it’s an everyday occurence for college attendees to attempt exit without paying.
Who’se paying for the very regular police attendance at the station.
And indeed, why are local commuters forced to put up with these rowdy and thoroughly unsavoury kids
err Ashcroft….Ashhhhcrrroooofttt…..Aaaarrrshhhhhcrooft
Where’s the piece on Ashcroft then? Sleazy like Levy I’d say. Come on, jump to it. This piece above about the Lib Dems is interesting but a bit small fry. Give us the dirt on Sleazy Lord Arschcroft
But the Lib Dems have ALWAYS been like this. And the Liberals before them.
Nothing to hide nothing to fear. This is what our state masters keep telling us as they ratchet up the total suveillance on us all. Liblabcon just ferrets fighting in a sack. Who cares?
The reason Labour always try to swing the cosh at Ashcroft is that he chooses to support the Tories and chooses to give them a lot of money too. No different to Sainsbury et al.
“Cowley Street better hope CCHQ don’t retaliate with some FOI requests concerning their PPCs and intriguing leaflet printing financing.”
Why would CCHQ do this? Isn’t this what the Gobshite Centre is for?
As all FoI requests are supposed to applicant-blind, aren’t the Tories breaking the law by holding this conversation?
