Disgraced Cameron Crony Becomes Lobbyist
In times gone by honourable men when disgraced would enjoy a last brandy before reaching for their revolver. Now “right honourable” men when disgraced become lobbyists. Andrew MacKay was the “senior political parliamentary adviser to David Cameron” (according to a statement he made to the police).
Having with his MP wife Julie Kirkbride double-claimed for mortgage expenses for years he is lucky not to be facing charges. He tried to spin his way out when he was caught but an enraged local Conservative Party membership ousted him acrimoniously. So much for MacKay’s crisis management spin skills.
On Monday Dave told us that about
“… the next big scandal waiting to happen. It’s an issue that crosses party lines and has tainted our politics for too long, an issue that exposes the far-too-cosy relationship between politics, government, business and money. I’m talking about lobbying – and we all know how it works. The lunches, the hospitality, the quiet word in your ear, the ex-ministers and ex-advisors for hire, helping big business find the right way to get its way… It arouses people’s worst fears and suspicions about how our political system works, with money buying power, power fishing for money and a cosy club at the top making decisions in their own interest… if we win the election, we will take a lead on this issue by making sure that ex-ministers are not allowed to use their contacts and knowledge – gained while being paid by the public to serve the public – for their own private gain.
Andrew MacKay is Cameron’s ex-adviser, his dubious ethics are now a matter of public record. Why wait until he is Prime Minister, Dave can demonstrate the truth of his words by signalling that MacKay is no longer part of the “cosy club at the top”, that he will take a lead and not let MacKay use his contacts for his private gain. MacKay should be shown the cold shoulder by the shadow cabinet.
Not one of this lot worth a vote that’s the truth.
Today Clegg of the Lib Dims is saying they will create 57000 jobs by building wind turbine factories.
Has he forgotten that Britain’s only Wind Turbine factory on the Isle of Wright closed last April due to falling demand.
They really should be made to account for these stupid statements.
Clegg is a fkin prick ! I just ignore everything the useless twot says
there’s the minor inconvenience of has he got any patents ?
these are not the windmills he saw in Camberwick Green.
A new name for Clegg – Windy Miller! – Nice one ‘resurgemus’
O/T Brown’s Curse strikes at BAE systems Barrow in Furness. He recently visited the location of our nation’s nuclear submarine manufacturer to tell them what a sterling and brilliant job they are doing, and today BAE announces the loss of 230 jobs.
Good point, resurgemus, but you know how Clegg will persuade the wind turbine firms to take part in his plan? He will give them “grants”, that’s right, our money. All this green energy business is just a big con and a way of taxing us more and handing that money to their friends. Camerons at it too. The lot of them are corrupt.
Just wondered who is lobbying for wind farms.
Think guido should get a job with the Mirror with that headline today
you should get a job as a twatty apolgist for Piggies
Where can i apply
you already have that job
I own all the patents and have stored them in my spiffing new Green Bank.
lobbying for wind farms: A simple explanation is that they think its “manufacturing for the future”, and that somehow government investment now could mean we’d lead the world in future technologies, and we’d be able to sell them all over the world coz we led the way and ours are better.
I don’t know the details but it looks to me like someone else already knows how to make them pretty well.
(and i mean. shite. trains and trams. we used to be pretty good at making them)
What sort of company would employ a freak like MacKay, and more interestingly, why.
57000 jobs to build eco-placebos, paid for through higher taxes on coal and oil.
So in a nutshell these 57000 jobs are dependent on taxes raised through the burning of coal and oil – how fuckin’ sustainable is that?
Green my arse.
We need these windmills to be independent of the fcuking Sheiks and the Ruskies. Its called Energy Independence you pillock. You need to start thinking strategically rather than just counting the pennies in your handbag.
Alternatively you could start using the coal which that short sighted Thatcher abandoned in the 80s. Apparently we have a 1,000 year’s worth of it on these islands.
For our energy independence we could have lots of shiny new nuclear power stations. Run by EDF (say it: “Euh-day-eff”)
We need just 20 nuclear power stations to achieve total energy independence., as opposed to 100,000 wind turbines which (correctly spaced) would cover an area the same size as Wales.
Windmills need the appropriate grid transmission systems which we do not have. Windmills produce energy only when there is wind, therefore a continental wide system is needed to ‘harvest’ this energy and the transmission systems to switch the power around. Part of the system for Northern Europe is to ‘store’ the power to Norwegian hydroelectric damage…pump water up to release when wind energy falters, to maintain steady voltage and prevent cuts. The Germans say wind will only ever cover some 8% of need even with energy efficiency at a high level.
It will be 60 years before the capacity is even up to this level.
Gas and coal will continue to be provide the lion’s share of power generation for decades to come.
Nuclear power will be essential until fusion, possibly, can be cracked.
Windmills are for tilting at, as Cervantes knew quite well.
“art of the system for Northern Europe is to ’store’ the power to Norwegian hydroelectric damage”
Thank you. I was wondering why Salmond was so keen og building a power cable to Norway – it’s to store the electricity he hopes to generate from offshore Scottish wind power.
@Susie
Can’t we cover Wales with wind turbines, separate it from England, float it out to sea and thus have a giant, offshore Wind Farm? The Severn Bridge could then be the World’s longest pier.
We need to get the breakthrough technologies up and running. Wind, wave and current solar energy are not going to produce anywhere near enough energy to meet the needs of this country.
Also, I know that this probably is a very nieve question, but, WHY the FUCK is electricity produced by wind power so fucking expensive? I mean, windmills cannot possibly cost as much to build as a power station, the maintanence is less than a power station, the staff required for a wind-farm substantially less than a power station, and the energy input into the power generation is wind, which is FREE! Power stations do produce much more power, but there is a large financial input cost of the energy going in, to get the electricity out.
Why is wind power SO expensive?
I don’t know how much it costs – any particular figures you’ve got in mind (with how they’re calculated).
BUT: doesn’t it depend massively on how quickly you want to recoup the investment. I’d imagine they’d want the cost of building the windmill back in no time at all (2 ? 5 ? years?). So after 5 years the electricity might cost “bugger all” … although their accountants would probably make sure it did.
An alternator up a pole.
a Vestas 2MW windturbine costs £2.5M, delivered in 3 years from now. If you are lucky.
Old rope is dirty work in comparison.
INVEST – The fools in power are always going to be throwing YOUR tax money at them. They like the photos of themselves standing next to them and saving the planet. Grab some of it back
http://theirearth.com/index.php/news/vestas-wind-systems-wind-turbines
http://guidedtour.windpower.org/en/tour/econ/index.htm
The value of the power produced by a windmill doesn’t even cover the cost of maintenance and the interest on the cost of building it in the first place let alone the capital investment.
The truth of the matter is they only get built because the tax payer pays for them.
“Why is wind power SO expensive?”
Wind farms take up a lot of space, each generator is small scale compared to a big gas power station so you need lots of turbines and you need the transmission grid mentioned by “A lot of hot air by idiots” above to aggregate the power.
Wind farms are huge construction projects, they require access roads to each one for maintenance and to anchor a tower several hundred metres high you need to dig a bloody big hole and fill it with concrete. Cement is a huge producer of CO2 both in its production and when you add water to make it harden, so it is unlikely that a wind turbine can ever be “carbon neutral”. If you allow a company to build a wind farm in a national park then you should also allow a company to build a factory because wind farms are just industrial units. (A factory would be better because there will be permanent jobs, wind turbines have a few maintenance jobs but not many).
As Mr Ned says, they can help to diversify the power production, but turbines should be just one option not the main option.
You missed the point – if they require massive subsidies to build and run them, where will the massive subsidies come from when we stop using oil/coal i.e. no tax revenue? Also remember that HMG lifts about 10% tax revenue annually from just screwing the motorist. How will you replace that tax-take? Tax motorists for NOT causing pollution?
Remember that if the bloody things had been so great in the first place, we would never have used coal/oil to generate electric anyway. Why spend money digging/pumping/importing? France, with no natural energy resources, went nuclear in the 70′s. They export surplus electricity to the bloody Danes, because their windmills do not actually meet their domestic requirement, and they have yet to close a conventional power station because windmills are so unreliable.
But for eco-twats we would have went nuclear 30 years ago and that is where money should be spent – pissing away other people’s tax money on shite windmills will not solve any problems, beyond garnering the beardy weirdo lentil-eating leftie vote for desperate politicians.
The british nuclear industry was a bloody shambles anyway – doing things like making the reactor building first, then making the reactor too big.
If you want eneconomic government investment on a grand scale, then yes, take the lead from france. And if you’d been recently you’d notice they’ve got tonnes of windmills all over the place – which is of course “nowt to do with CO2″, because fossil fuels produce sod all of their electricity (5% at a guess).
Mr Quango, the nuclear theory.
And there were no subsidies and won’t be any subsidies to build our Nuclear power stations! Pull the other one mate!
We and our descendants are and will be paying our hard earned taxes for centuries to come storing the waste from these super efficient sources of energy!
Oh it’s Thatcher’s fault.
We can’t use the coal because the short sighted Brown has signed up to reducing our carbon emissions. That is why we are soon to close our coal fired power stations and there is not enough time to build nuclear ones to maintain supply.
So, Brown shows signs of being a master-strategist at last. Shame that he seems to have directed his efforts at setting a series of time-delay charges intended to wreck our economy.
Doctor Mick it wasn’t Theatcher’s fault that she crushed Scargill and his mob. It was her fault that she closed down all the mines once she’d crushed him just because coal was cheaper from open cast mines in Australia or the States. Like the grocer she was just thinking about the immediate profit no hint of thought for the long term future and energy security of this country.
It could only produce enough blades for 30 odd turbines per year and couldn’t secure enough orders for even that output.
There’s a lot of work to be done if the UK is ever to support its own wind turbine requirements. We all know it won’t happen and they will be imported like everything else…
Tidal Energy is the future. Entirely predictable, entirely accurate to the second and entirely free. And as an island with some of the highest tidal ranges in the world, we’d be fucking minted, self sufficient and able to tell the French/Russians to fuck off with their dirty smelly gas or nuclear.
Hence the government hasn’t touched it and continues to order ridiculously expensive part time wind turbines from our EU “partners” to support German and Danish “industry” and fill the tax coffers of Brussels with your taxes.
http://www.greenchipstocks.com/articles/marine-energy-news/598
I’m not really impressed with tidal. Nice coastline turns to shitty lagoons.
And a long way from being free.
Ever seen Rance?
“Entirely predictable, entirely accurate to the second and entirely free”
And (about) twice a day, what do we do for energy at low tide, hope it’s windy?
Check the tide tables
It’s never high tide or low tide at the same time bastard EVERYWHERE
Fucking mongs, I give up. We used to be a seafaring nation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_table
more use would be producing 57,000 pairs of sandals for his voters. What happens when there is no wind Nick, say in July/August and Dec/Jan ?
Micro generation might work. I’d buy one if I could get my lights off the grid. But I would’nt pay more than 200 quid for it.I can buy a genny now on ebay new for 300
What about the Balls/Cooper partnership? “It’s difficult.”
Totally understandable. It’s always difficult when you live on another planet. I wonder what colour the sky is on theirs…
Cameron needs to lead, rather than be led. He should fuck this prick right off, as he should with any mention of the UK bailing out Greece with our taxpayers cash.

Unreal story on Airline Scanners -
http://www.infowars.com/exposed-naked-body-scanner-images-of-film-star-printed-circulated-by-airport-staff/
Imagine that? A government minister lied.
Fuck me.
I can’t believe the scans are immediately deleted. Surely if a plane was to be blown up the authorities would want to go through all the images of the passengers.
Yeah. Exactly. You’d want to know did the operator miss anything obvious or, with the benefit of hindsight, spot a new trick. It makes no sense at all to delete them at least until the aircraft has reached its destination.
Not that I’m particularly in favour of the fucking things you understand but given you’ve actually got the picture.
It’ll open up a new market in bootlegged celebrity images.
For your answer see ’9′ above. ‘A Government minister lied’ – it’s amazing how many questions can be answered with those 4 simple words.
They take a photocopy, thats the right thing to do…
I can think of an easy to make explosive which would get through this scanner.
Will Cyclops have to go through this when he jets off on another summit to save the world ? Imagine an image of him Billy Bollox ?
No, perhaps better not. Apologies to anyone eating when reading this.
How about writing “FUCK OFF YOU MONG” on your tummy? Or would that be another (as yet) offence?
I’m forever setting off the ordinary detectors when I fly. Have six different lumps of metal through my williard (the missus loves it, though I have sit down to pee or it sprays all over my trousers). And now they’ll be able to see them in their glory! No more funny looks when they do that extra check with the wand!
Does anyone know if you can pay for a copy of the photo? (like you get on the London Eye or rollercoasters?)
If you get turned on by them you more more fucking weird than me
Snivelling little creep and his Mrs is an over the hill slag.
You rang ?
not yet Jeeves you can fetch my slippers later
She was never on top of the hill.
Too right – she’s the politicsl equivalent of a fag-hag – latched on to Stephen Milligan (until his, er, accident, with the orange and suspenders), then on to Andrew MacHackey, plus of course her own election as a lisping Tory-gel.
Dreadful example of Modern Conservatism – and I say all this as a longtime Conservative who’s now got serious doubts about CMD and his acolytes – though sadly they seem to be the only game in town just now when it comes to stopping Brown from continuing Labour’s pogrom against our once great country.
I think it’s perfectly obvious that we now have a generation of politicians that are simply not fit for purpose. We are apparently at the end of a truly terrible incompetent Government full of chancers and thieves. So what now is the alternative? More of exactly the same from Dave Cameron’s Conservatives unfortunately. A party also stuffed to the gunnels with rich greedy unprincipled spivs just waiting for the opportunity to fill their boots with the profits of power. Labour and Conservative they are simply two sides of the same bent coin. Cameron believes in absolutely nothing but getting into power hence the Conservative narrative over the past few months has been a shambles. He weaves, he ducks and he dives but he is completely vacuous and unprincipled. He keeps making bogus speeches about decentralisation and giving back local accountability while at the same time tightening up his grip on his party with ever more centralisation and dictats. Only himself and his close little circle of cronies with have their sweaty mitts on the levers of power while the rest are left to follow in the foot steps of their thieving Labour colleagues. What the hell did the UK do to deserve this rotten bunch?
You are absolutely right. Kirkbride is the epitomy of this and Cameron is the front man, believing in nothing. It has long been said that Kirkbride will dominate the general election campaign. Cameron needs to act swiftly.
The MacKay Kirkbride affair is an ongoing sad refekction on the Conservative Party, and on Cameron in particular. Korkbride herself has never beeen on `top of the hill` as her low-life baseness has kept her in the pits. Now she arrogantly announces that Dave `will look after` her and cites her husbands elevation as proof. She says that Cameron `would not dare` take action against her. Now then is surely the time for Cameron to prove her wrong and publicly denounce MacKay and Kirkbride, expelling them from the Conservative Party at the same time. He would prove his integrity and his poll ratings will soar. We, and he, should remember that Kirkbride-MacKay are the worst offenders of the lot, and over a sustained period of many years.
And Cameron should make sure that Charles Barwell does not win the rigged Bromsgrove candidate selection, or Kirkbride and her cronies the Dent family will have secured another victory.
Top Blog Guido well said.
agree buts let not move our sights off this fucking maniac of a prime Minster.who bringing this once great country to its knees.
What an idiot Brown is.
Captain Brown of the RMS LieTanic at it again as he attacks Labour councils for pointing out his care policy is bogus
Idiots have low IQ’s.brown is a fucking crim.full stop
that was a reply to 68.so why is it here?
……. not forgetting his useless cabinet that can’t even get rid of him.
The mess that the next government will face will be horrendous in ALL departments.
The sights are focused on “all” at Westminster, at least 52% are the problem!
What blog.Guido throws a politician in and we tear him up.
Well I keep on telling you that I am trying my hardest to lose the next General Election for David Cameron’s Conservatives.
How do you all think I am doing so far ??
Have to say call me Dave you are doing a splendid job only someone like you could go down in the polls against a waste of space like McDoom.
I am a complete and utter joke.
Sad isn’t it ?
Funny how the Tories’ matrix isn’t bolted together as well it might be, isn’t it? You’d imagine that, with oodles of bright young things on the staff, heaps of Ashcroft money, and four years to prepare, their pre-election announcements might be at least loosely joined-up. Only, in recent weeks, we’ve had “cuts” turn into “efficiency savings” of only £1.5bn, and George Osborne trying to steady the ship by saying “I know – let’s have a green investment bank!” We’ve seen his delight turn to dismay within hours as Lord Stern’s “agreement” to advise on its creation was rapidly “clarified” with a statement stating that his Lordship has, in fact, no such plans of the sort.
Meanwhile, back in 10 Browning Street, I am turning this country into a banana republic.
Lol
Ha ha! Excellent!
United Kebabwe
Did you run out of jokes to cut and paste?
Indeed, this has been a trainwreck of a campaign for the tories so far.
They started in January stating that this was the start of their election campaign and straight away we had the inept confusion over “tax breaks” for married couples and they allowed the left and the media to hijack this sensible policy and portray it as an unfair tax change to penalise the unmarried. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is all about ENDING unfairness and stopping the married from being unfairly penalised in the tax system as they are currently.
The tories were completely inept in presenting and defending one of their few remaining strong, decent, fair conservative policies.
Not one to rest, they swiftly followed this up by subliminally telling the nation that we cannot go on with Cameron in election posters all over the country.
Since then there has been dither, delay, and hide. The BBC radio and TV news studios recently have had labour and liberal MP’s unopposed slagging off and lying their asses off about the tories with impunity.
WTF tories?
Seriously, the tory party is doing a fucking superb impression of a party desperately trying to lose an election that it has to give the appearance of “trying” to win.
things can only get better
It would be far better for the future if Zanu Labour have to make the cuts
But a disaster for the country…because they will dither, smear, spin etc until the pound and gilts collapse…
Yet another Cast Iron guarantee broken then.
I am a disgraced crony.
I qualify for MacKay’s job.
Give me his job.
Damian! Damian! Have you swept the playground yet?
The parents are concerned that their obese, illiterate, asthma -ridden spawn will slip over in the snow.
Absolutely totally brilliant Damian!!!!
do as I say not as I do
As they might say in Norfolk and Kensington!
Meanwhile down Cardif Bay old Nick Bourne will soon be loosing his authority if he let’s this Darren Millar business drag on.
Step central office at this rate.
Who is Darren Millar and what has he been up to?
O/T cant believe i paid all my taxes and i still living in a broom cupard.FFS
and in the ward there are folk who have paid fuck all treated better than me welcome to Browns world.
The only lobby job he deserves is to hang up coats.
Not much call for that as everyone’s leaving.
I got news for you Guido…….David Cameron ain’t gonna be Prime Minister,the electorate here detest novices.
With the threat that the Toyota Prius has put on the American people, Toyota has decided it is approriate to rename it to boost marketing.
I personally reccomend the “Toyota 911″. Seems appropriate
OK, so now we know that lobbyists are what people associated with politics become when they have come to the end of the line.
As Mr Mackay’s wife is still an MP, he might well be privy to sensitive ninformation. Wouldn’t this be classed as a conflict of interests and, if not, why not?
Exactly 12 weeks to go;
84 days
2,016 hours
120,960 minutes
120,940 now
still 120,900 too many!
So that’s another £42 billion down the sough before we can evict him.
Yup 42 Billion is about right.

I sincerely hope that Cameron publicly dis-associates himself and his party from Mackay as a lobbyist and puts his words into practice but I won’t hold my breath. Clegg’s windpower – and that’s one thing he’s not short of – rant is typical of our politicians; they live in their own little political planet which is a million miles from the real world inhabited by the rest of us.
Some election choice …
Brown’s lot who have proved themselves to be dishonest, deceitful, thieving and incompetent in government
Camerom’s lot who have proved themselves to be dishonest, deceitful, thieving and incompetent in opposition.
Clegg’s lot who aspire to the levels of the other two.
The expenses exposure – which morality continues merrily in lobbying, ‘official business trips’, ‘business entertainment’, HoL, etc, – defined our current politicians precisely.
hear hear
Cameron`s public disassiociation from MacKay and Kirkbride is essential. It would be a gesture of gigantic importance which would raise his political status beyond recognition. Dare he do it, or is he just too weak?
At least he’s going!
No he isn’t. We just won’t be able to vote him out of the House of Commons now. He’ll have a lobby pass and can continue wheeling and dealing as before.
That is rather the point of this thread
Yes sorry I meant at least he’s not going to be an MP.
Thanks for last night.
Does the ‘cosy club at the top’ have another name?
Or am i being thick / paranoid?
the shadow cabinet
Dave, George, Coulson and Hilton
I’m loving this thread
I’m not
Permatan is one of Dave’s best mates.Didn’t anyone think this through before giving dave that lobbyists speech to nip down the road and read out?
If Permatan is one of Dave`s best mates, it says a lot about Dave and his unsuitability for office.
MacKay? sounds like just another ‘effin Jock out to rip off the English taxpayer – my god why can’t we not send ‘em back to Scotland?
The Scottish and Gay Mafia Labour/Marxists are at the root of all our troubles
all yanks boo hoo on cue. or fucking hug barstards
Glen Beck is busy exposing the socialist agenda of Obama and his inner circle together with Government waste – he is the number one hate figure for the liberal left.
Darren Millar is a Tory Assembly member who has been caught shagging a couple of others here in the bay.
Everyone is sitting on their hands too shit scared. to do anything or say anything.
He meanwhile is the most too good to be true butter would not melt in my mouth buggers here.
Nick Bourne and others are just waiting for the shit to hit the fan !
Well if he’s shagging a member of the opposite sex then I’ll be pleasantly surprised – it’ll at least make a change for our politicians. Providing it’s the same species of course – never can be too careful with them Taffs.
Did he wear wellies to stop them running off?
And Velcro trousers ?
he sits on the European Affairs committee..
Shit scared of him.well them fucking miners have lost it then
Is this all to do with the News of the World taking a close interest in the activities of the fundamentalist Darren Millar AM?
Members and fellow beneficiaries of the same troughing club do not exclude one another old boy for fear the rat might turn traitor against its fellow troughers when cornered. Hence the deafening silence with regard to the criminal Yeo.
“In times gone by honourable men when disgraced would enjoy a last brandy before reaching for their revolver.”
So that’s another downside to Blair’s post-Dunblane gun seizure.
Remind me, just how much has gun crime gone down since then?
Tried to make this point yesterday but was modded. Same keywords.
It has gone up, but they’re shooting the wrong people……
I think that it’s also worth a punt on the possibility of a certain ex-MP(female) becoming a Baroness after the election should “Dave” win and having a front-line job in the “new” Government
Millar is Conservative Clwyd West !!
David I jones is the MP , Millar is the assembly member.
Cocky twat.
The worry is this will effect Jones ,only had a majority of about 150 last election.
millar not liked here or up in the North much.
Conservatives like a bit on the side just like Tiger, Terry or Bin Laden!
A cocky twat is a tranny
Quote of the day:-
“If I am Prime Minister and for as long as I would be Prime Minister, I would never take Britain into the euro, full stop, end of story.”
Seems that Dave would have to resign as PM if a Private Members Bill to join the Euro was passed.
Dave remember Rule1 ” The prime Minister is NOT PRESIDENT of the UK”
not another cast iron guarantee
Remember that cast-iron is brittle.
Someone should have told Tony that.
Dave is a likable chap and probably has a good circle of friends.
The problem is, he talks utter tosh and nobody can believe a word he says anymore. He is still a better choice than McMoron`s mobsters, but it has to be said, not by much.
The choice offered by the big three is dire, proven thieves and liars, idiots and con men, or wannabees and yoghurt knitters.
And what about DC’s recent appointment of George Bridges from Quiller? (who left after the Ealing Southall debacle to go into lobbying)
And this is why I won’t be voting for Cameron.
He’s a weak man, in the mold of Blair. I hated the first one, why would I vote for a clone?
Of course, the Tories will win, but they have to get the message that it’s because the electorate want to see Brown gone forever, not because they think ‘Dave’ is any good…
So very true.
In addition to being weak, he surrounds himself with hopeless, useless, impressionable, vain, shallow, not terribly intelligent people.
It is all very tragic. It’s going to be a Ted Heath era all over again I fear.
Meanwhile the troughing continues with all political colours having their snouts in cash trough.
Nothing will change until we, the masses, are so skint we start to “fightback” (beginning in Greece now).
Protect yourselves from these parasites. They want what is yours. They have already begun devaluing your savings/pension etc
It won’t make any difference. Once we’re in we will be Labour.
I sympathise for you but we all feel the same way.
But what do you do?
Vote labour and KNOW that they will f**k even more, or hold your nose and vote Tory
KNOWING that they will f**k up too?
I wish the Monster Raving Loony Party had Screaming Lord Sutch alive and well. He would get my vote.
It is – it’s now split between UKIP and B&P.
Let’s all vote for them and watch the old-party buggers squirm.
You vote B&P and you’ll see many people squirming, in camps!
don’t worry I will give all my friends on here camp guards jobs.
Vote for dead Screaming Lord Sutch.you may as well waste your vote for a good reason instead of the other two waste of space.
I’m not voting Cameron because he’s not standing in teh constituency where I am registered to vote, you pillock!
The Yanks don’t rule here yet, we still have a Parliamentary democracy!
Right, so seeing as only one constituency voted for Blair, he took on board the thoughts and views of the rest of his cabinet?
Maybe the huge majority in ’97 made him think those votes were all for him and he acted accordingly.
Think it wouldn’t happen again if ‘Dave’ got a thumping majority?
Nope, thought not.
Try again, and maybe give it some thought next time, ‘pillock’.
I have never seen Gordon Brown throw anything. As soon as he gets anything in his hand I hit the fuckin’ floor!
It’s pure luck he hits anyone,mono vision is a twat for aiming.
When will call me Dave promise to roll back Gordon Brown’s vicious ‘light touch regulation’ that caused the whole Banking catastrophe?
Those poor Bankers were forced to sell worthless shit for Billions in Bonuses because Brown was too hard on them, and not as everyone thought, a poodling enabler happy to do as they said since he would get a lucrative multi-millionaire job advising a Bank after he left politics like Tony did
OT – any body guess how much the buffoon is going to give the Greeks today from our childrens money?
I say lets charge them storage on the marbles first.
Never leave your buddies behind
Boot them in the marbles
Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
Chorus:
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the cream of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
chorus
Risin’ up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
chorus
The eye of the tiger (repeats out)…
do you know you’re a complete twat?
That was a voter fookers, and theres plenty more stupid Hunts
Brown’s ‘reign of terror’ at Downing Street

Christ, he’s giving the mentally ill a bad name.
Just when the stigma of mental illness was starting to be lifted too…
This country is fooked. Every day more and more greedy bastards are robbing us. The law is completely out of order with victims being penalised (84yr old man gets arrested for waving his walking stick at abusive fereal youths) and thugs are getting away with suspended sentences. Where immigrants get immdeiate top rate benefits and houses whereas our poor have to wait for peanuts!
What the fook did we defeat Hitler for? Was it to turn this country into a criminals’ paradise where ‘honourable’ thieves (Lords and MPs) become rich and failure (bankers etc) is rewarded higher than loyal hard working people.
I’m beginning to think the BeeNPee are looking better and better at solving our problems then any of the other dishonourable parties.
so a cock could sing the praises of B&P Fascists of course
Duh!
Vote B&P and have Webster’s bumboy, Griffin, ruining this country??? You’re havin a larf!!!
You have a bumboy running it at the minute.
The UK should put Brown in that fucking cupboard with his bananas and kit-Kat’s and lock the door and throw away the key forever
Dry your eye mate
I know it’s hard to take but there mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eye mate
I know you want to make them see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

expenses gang to cost £6.5 with Kennedy getting £100,000
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8509815.stm
80 staff?! A misprint, surely? About 20 years ago I was in the claims department of a large insurer, where 13 of us processed around 14,000 claims per year, some of which were dodgy and others were complex. How hard can it be to check and approve/reject the expenses of 646 individuals??
not so easy for the thieves to steal through expenses now so they had enquiry after enquiry, reviews, appeals, more reviews – and what result? Jacqui made a handsome profit, as did McNulty, Hoon, Conway and all those other fuckers; Cameron still has his bumped up mortgage now that we pay it, Brown still has his ‘second home’ in addition to the two we already pay for and Clegg is still refurbishing dilapidated property at our expense and his profit; most of them watch skysports or the like at our expense – on tvs we paid for; and the house pee-ers have just had their thieving ratified by an inane ‘main home’ ruling. The thieving bastards still don’t get it. The people are waking up in Greece and Iran, so what does it take to wake up the Brits?
I was caught rubbing my penis all over a sculpture of David Cameron.
It was Statutory Rape.
Don’t worry your insane
Can’t find it on their web presence, but front page article in the Telegraph reckons the UK might have to find cash to help get the Eurins out of their greek hole.
Line in the sand time.
And we’ll end up paying more than the Frogs, Krauts, Wops and Eyties put together – that’s what the EUSSR is all about.
They couldn’t beat us at war (tried often enough), so they worked out a plan to beat us at peace – and we fell for it. Duh !
Darling and Treasury have just issued a statement stating that the bail out for Greece is a “matter for the Eurozone alone NOT the UK” Is it a case of marking McBust’s Card before he pledges £ 100 Billion of UK taxpayers monies we can’t afford ?
Obviously Alistair knows how much Gordon likes to play the “World Statesman” in his “I saved the World I tell you” alto ego and if given a chance would take on the whole of the Greek Sovereign Debt unless warned
BRITISH banks have an exposure of nearly £100 billion to the struggling European economies that are sending shockwaves through the global markets.
Nerves are frayed because a sovereign debt default by Greece – and even Portugal and Spain – could rip another major hole in bank balance sheets shaken by the financial crisis.
Rather Darling and Treasury are saying they can all feck off in Euroland and print a load of money like we’re doing here.
No worries we can fall back on piracy.
we’re already paying a fortune to the EU for a bunch of bureaucrats who are as free withour money as those prats at westminster. So expect our ‘contribution’ to increase to cover a Greek bail-out – and a bit extra for even more bureaucracy to ‘process’ said bail-out. Still, we can afford it, it’s not as if there are any problems with our economy! At least it’s a reminder of why I shouldn’t vote lib dem who, at the same time as bemoaning poor election turn-out, decided not to vote on the Lisbon constitution. dumb bastards, they could have stopped that betrayal.
Guido – have you let McBrown organize this thread this am? whats up with the numbering
That this smarmy thieving bastard can find employment at a six figure salary says all you need to know about Lobbyists in general, his new employer in particular and the target MPs in as much as his new employer actually believes that McKay has sufficient pull at Westminster to be able to get to MPs on their clients behalf.
If I felt the need to get to an MP via a lobbying outfit, I would have a bit of a problem if this shit-faced creep were seen to be representing me.
In short, the sooner Lobbying is cleaned right up, the better. I know how it could be done…
Lost in all of this sanctimonoius bile is the fact that as a constituent MP McKay was up there amongst the best, that he was mid table on expenses, he made a mistake and has apologized now why dont you go chase down some of the other clowns and leave him be.
Thank you for that contribution Julie K. Now get back to your trough before you’re detroughed in a couple of months time. Ta ta.
Bile? I’ll have you know some of the best and wittiest come here.
What utter nonsense! So MacKay made a `mistake` – the same `mistake` he presumably made for decades. Was the conspiracy to defraud made with his wife the notorious Julie Kirkbride, also a `mistake`? Was the free housing provided at taxpayers expense for his brother-in-laew the co-freak Ian Kirkbride also a `mistake`? As for his expenses claims being in the `middle` that is also nonsense, over the past decade, all-told, they were the highest in parliament, with his wife not far behind. The exposure is only the tip of the iceberg, between them they have received hundreds of thousands, and possibly more if the non-exposed expenses and allowances are included – petty cash, secretarial support, car mileage, purchases, fees, etc are included. The £60,000 this pair have had to repay is trivial beyond all. There has been no apology and Kirkbride refuses to comment on the basis that she was`entitled` to her expenses. This outrageous pair should be prosecuted, their antics are not in the middle but at the very top of the scale.
We would do something about it as they are robbing us too. But we won’t because they let us get away with murder.
so that pair rob the taxpayer for years, he simply transfers to lobbying and she continues to draw the salary and benefits of an MP while looking forward to a golden goodbye and fat pension – again at the expense of the taxpayer. And Cameron boasts about how he ‘handled’ the expense scandal! There’s one sound reason why the conservatives don’t have the lead they should have.
Gay Fawker never mentions the only lobbyists that matter – the money changers. Merv King, their puppet spokesman, has just said quantitative easing will resume shortly. The plan is to destroy people’s savings and send everyone into penury, plus the terror threat bullshit of course, to keep the proles scared and clinging to authrority. Everything else is a deliberate distraction but Fat Fawker’s paid to do that as a tool of the bankers. Eh, fatboy?
Cool it skeleton man lest we are found out and Guy Fawkes becomes real and blows the show
Millar was a good shag I’m told!
All that pent up emotion!
He even said a prayer before doing the deed!!!
lol lol
I wonder who advised me about letting the banks have total free rein so that they could make super-super profits and that it was good for the country, they had a very powerful lobby, if I could only remember their names, I wonder if anyone knows, could be tricky, I depend on advisors, I cannot know everything, its not my fault is it?
Telegraph reporting that Lord Paul would rather quit the Lords than relinquish his nom dom status.

Just driving my new Toyota Prius.
Chat later, can’t stop.

Arf, arf!
You do realise that Toyota jokes are mainly for the enjoyment of the rather neolithic americans, who are still upset about foreign cars and pearl harbour.
Oh, and you’ve never owned a car have you?
Will the Conservatives win the next election on a tide of goodwill?
Or will they get a win via millions of reluctant votes because the alternative is so shit?
Will Cameron be fortunate enough to get his own ‘Falklands’ to help the bitter economic pill go down?
Is possibly only 4years of a useless Conservative Government worth wasting a vote on?
Hung parliament,coalition or government with a substantially reduced majority how can that be worse than the LabCon pact we have had for the last 50 years.
You’re spot on.
A vote for the Conservatives is a wasted vote.
GORDON BROWN IS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB
I will explain the LabCon pact.
Britain is a rusty old banger with lots of problems heading towards a European multiculti Eco town.
Labour at the wheel spends money on furry dice and bling for the car where the conservatives at the wheel, spend money on fuel and a bit of maintenance.
The destination is the same.
Vote for the LabCon pact if you like.
Don’t let the best drive out the good. The first priority is to get rid of the disease that it is Gordon Brown’s government. Recuperation will take a long time. Sadly Dave & Co don’t really seem to have any great plans for achieving this, but at least they will stop doing harm.
You forget the Law of Unintended Consequences.

What staggers me is that talk to them and it’s Labour through and through.
I point out that all Labour has managed to provide to people like them is degradation, poverty and no future.
I’ve been watching the classic ‘When the boat comes in’ recently again. Boy did we all need Unions and Labour back in those days, they did a fantastic job in social responsibility.
I don’t believe anyone of the founders of Trade Unionism would have anything to do with modern Trade Unionism or Labour.
All I want is a 40″ flat screen, strong lager and a warm place to crap and I’ll vote for you.
There are loads and loads of places just like that in the Midlands where there has been a Labour Council for decades with precious little for the local population to show for it and people wonder why the party with no name is a force in such areas. Every single local and national Labour politician(and Conservative)should weep (and hang their heads in shame)at the state of our nation in some parts of the country in the 21st Century. Unfortunately the media, left wing “luvvies” and party leaders would rather concentrate on poverty and destitution abroad than that nearer home. No charity CD for these people

Gordon: I can’t do it.
Sarah: What?
Gordon: I can’t beat him.
Sarah: Cameron?
Gordon: Yeah. I been out there walkin’ around, thinkin’. I mean, who am I kiddin’? I ain’t even in the guy’s league.
Sarah: What are we gonna do?
Gordon: I don’t know.
Sarah: You worked so hard.
Gordon: Yeah, that don’t matter. ‘Cause I was nobody before.
Sarah: Don’t say that.
Gordon: Ah come on, Sarah, it’s true. I was nobody. But that don’t matter either, you know? ‘Cause I was thinkin’, it really don’t matter if I lose this fight. It really don’t matter if this guy opens my head, either. ‘Cause all I wanna do is go the distance right to the end of the statutory parliamentary duration. Nobody’s ever gone right to the end of the statutory duration, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I’m still standin’, I’m gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren’t just another bum from the neighborhood.

I know what courage is – because it is the opposite of what is around me!
“MacKay should be shown the cold shoulder by the shadow cabinet. ”
As if!
Notice how the Global Warming luvvies have gone silent lately?
Don’t suppose it has anything to do with all the snow, ice, cold weather we are enjoying?
And what happend to bird flu?
What? are you stupid! Only a retard thinks that weather and climate are linked! The current cold weather has nothing, i repeat NOTHING to do with the climate. The climate is getting warmer and its all YOUR fault for using electricity.
The current weather is directly the responsibility of people who drive cars and have the disgusting selfish desire to use their central heating. You should be ashamed of yourself.
And we haven’t been struck by a giant asteroid recently, so that science must be hokum too!
don’t worry I have been asked to arrange something.

Better a shirtlifter than a breast though!
Agreed Guido, if Dave Cameron is really the crusader for truth, light and openess he would as a first step cast out all those Tory MP’s that looted the public purse.
He would clean up his own politics, not words, real meaningful actions!
Tories cannot understand why they are not winning the hearts and minds of the British people its because every day Dave Cameron demonstrates he is still part of the system of corruption disease and decay that is Westminster.
Truth is he is just another gutless wanker!
Just had a nice thought, next time Camerons shoes are following behind his bike in the Lexus( Toyota) the breaks may fail, or if he loses the election he can gas himself in it, being a hybrid it will be a very long lingering death
The company that thinks their interests will be best served by an association with sleaze won’t last long. Or perhaps sleaze is the way to the heart of the Dave Party.
Brown is going to hang on for dear life. He has to. For fear of all his lies, and deceit being revealed.
He is truly EVIL.
Cameron just wants to present himself as some kind of crusader. MacKay is as sleazy as they come and he gets rewarded. Why wasn’t Bill Cash thrown out too?
There are plenty of decent, honourable people who are stuggling and this sleazebag lands on his feet. Disgusting
Is that trollop who’s stamping her feet over her selection in Westminster North any relation to the expenses fiddling Bill Cash?
I shot all over a khazi wall there once she might be
THE NEWS IS MACKAY-KIRKBRIDE BUT MOST OF THE COMMENT IS ABOUT CAMERON. CAN DAVID CAMERON NOT SEE OR UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION?
Apparently not.
He has no working moral compass, only focus groups.
Which way shall we go now guys ?
Representative of the ordinay NHS-loving man just does not get it, and his continual support for normal ordinary types such as MacKay and Kirkbride proves the point. He is completely out of touch kiving in a socio-political world dominated by fraudsters and freaks.
A sociopathic world dominated by Ronnies and Reggies.
Ex-advisers for hire? Cameron was an ex- special adviser when Carlton hired him to be Director of Corporate Affairs ie spin and lobbying.
If that man ever becomes Prime Minister, I warn you, he will make Tony Blair look like a small town solicitor. He’ll have us marching through Teheran by Christmas, and that’s just for starters.
hmmm if he can do that I’ll have some of that..
…….and what about Mre Permatan?
