That Social Care Retraction
In the run up to the pitched battle over social care at yesterday’s PMQs, Labour councillors had firstly criticised the Government’s policy and then mysteriously withdrew their names from the letter in very mysterious circumstances. The Times reports:
“
Iain Malcolm, of South Tyneside, was the only council leader to return calls from The Times, which approached all councils and individuals involved. He said the decision to remove his councillor’s name was entirely his own after she had told him of the situation. He was unable to explain why his e-mail was identical in wording and style to other retractions.”
He also failed to mention that he spins for controversial lobbying firm Sovereign Strategy and is David Miliband’s election agent…
Squirm Piggy Squirm!!!
Democracy at it`s best all agree with Gordoom it`s easy DO NOT HAVE AN OPINION BAAAAAAAA
on another note Joe in Corrie has just topped himself because he owes a loan shark £5K do you think Gordoom watches Corrie we can live in hope
just seen a snip of Gordo meets Piece o shite pass me the sick bag
Sarah`s the beard does sincere better than Gail Platt superb
Lies, it is what they do best!
By God,Brown must have been reinforcing all these reports of his violence and tempers yesterday when he came out of PMQ’s.
He doesn’t need 500 yard runs with his overweight minder in Green Park – he needs the full lobotomy and electric shock treatment so fashionable in the ’50′s.
Plus a punchbag – oh he married one,of course.
Just heard a rumour staff at No 10 are complaining about a lack of body armour
Chinese whispers, Mr. Plum.
Staff are not complaining about ‘lack of body armour’, they’re complaining about,’cack and banana odour’.
How extremely amusing and droll…
…or it would be, if…if it was not utterly, utterly sinister and redolent of ineffable evil and unfathomable wickedness.
Good god how far can this man throw a Nokia phone London to Tyneside WOW I`m impressed
People put under pressure for having an opinion that goes against the PM. Yet these people call the B+P Fascists you couldnt make it up. All three main parties support the UAF an organisation formed to stifle freedom of speech using violence yet the police in our police state are never available when they show up and none are ever arrested.
Its all part of our so called democracy
Social care my backside. Keep Labour votes more like.
Odd how it’s an urgent problem so close to an election. Was it not a problem ten years ago?
Diddled
George is in his eighties and he’s seen it all before
He was born in the depression and was wounded in the war
He hadn’t been a hero, but George had done his bit
His legs had both been broken when a piece of shrapnel hit
George with his new ungainly gait really didn’t care
He had served his King and Country and was proud that he’d been there
Once the war was over and he got a steady job
George worked hard and did overtime to earn an extra bob
He was careful with his money but you couldn’t call him mean
He had known the pangs of hunger as a child when times were lean
He never wasted money in the bookies or on ale
He wanted some security in case his health should fail
Came the National Insurance Scheme in 1948
George gave the scheme his full support thinking it was great
If we all join in together and we pay our weekly dues
We should all get good pensions that can only be good news
What with all our contributions and the taxes that we pay
Well never in the future should we see a rainy day
No humiliating means tests, no more workhouse for the poor
The old can hold their heads up like they never could before
Now George is getting frail and weak and needs a little care
The pension that George thought he’d get simply isn’t there
The savings that old George accrued long ago had dwindled
The Council now want George’s house, no wonder George feels swindled
Every evening in the news on all the TV stations
The Government hand out our cash to lots of foreign nations
What’s more it is a well known fact that cannot be disputed
Folk come here and claim benefits who’ve never contributed
Our leaders throw our cash around with philanthropic zeal
Massaging their ego’s, Not caring how we feel
To men like George an honest man the real reward is owed
We should be taking care of him, not stealing his abode
That poem is very good. Thanks.
Remember how my colleagues railed against the Tories’ poster campaign in the 1990′s with the message, ‘NEW LABOUR, NEW DANGER’ which portrayed me with devilish mad eyes ??
I mean, they got that one wrong as well, didn’t they ?
I turned out to be purer than pure and a regular kind of guy.
OOHHH Ben the nodding Dog Bradshaw better watch out Gordoom won`t like that he very nearly told the truth ouch
Ben Bradshaw = effete wanker, The Painting of Hugh Grant, lies told while-u-wait
Shirley Williams = totalitarian parasite, demolisher of the meritocracy.
Fucking scum
Have I missed anything?
I have received in the post today a letter from the Department of Works and Pensions notifying me how much my state pension will rise this year. Whoopee, it gone up by 75p pw. If I’m very careful and save for a couple of weeks I will be able to treat myself to a cup of coffee. Social care, the only thing they care about is themselves, and telling lies so they can keep their cushy job in Westminster
All aboard, the good ship RMS NuLiebortanic, up to the gunwales with shysters and dodgy shysters.
All under the experienced command of Captain Brown-Smith. In times of crisis you need that experience on the bridge and a steady hand on the tiller but beware of flying belaying pins on the bridge!
Ice, what ice!
More like LICE – millions of them crawling all around the inside of his head – an anatomist’s playground and the main bill at a medical conference on “The Features Of An Unelected Monster”
L is for Labour. L is for Lice.
A timely WARNING at 0.40s
And you thought it was comedy
Lice, damned lice and Labour statistics.
Lice, Damned Lice and Liebor immigration stats!!!!!!!
Or as I dubbed it this morning:
“Not doing very well, is he, Captain Brown of the RMS LieTanic?”
Flip flop…
When someone works for a “lobbying firm” and is election agent to a Cabinet minister is there not clear influence peddling ?
How can anyone imagine that there is or will be honest government in the UK with obvious influcence pedddling and corruption going on openly ?
What we need is a Lobby Bobby
Combine the two and you have……. Mr Blobby!
Lobbly Bobbly
I’ve gone from Stalin to Mr. Bean and now back to Stalin.
Stalin would have had most of them killed.
So would Brown if he thought he could get away with it.
Give him time though. According to the law after calling an election he has three years to hold the thing. Legally he doesn’t need to hold an election till 2013. And he’ll know that.
We all assume he’ll go with convention and stick to the normal five year term timetable. I’m not so sure.
jgm2 – you got me going there, so a hasty check on Wiki showed this:
Under the provisions of the Septennial Act 1715 as amended by the Parliament Act 1911, the next general election must be held on or before 3 June 2010[6]. In recent times, and certainly since the enactment of the Septennial Act 1715, Parliament has not been allowed to expire. The present Parliament which first met on 11 May 2005 is scheduled to expire at midnight on 10 May 2010.[7][8] The previous general election in the UK was held on 5 May 2005. Assuming a proclamation summoning a new Parliament is issued on 10 May, the latest possible date of the general election would be 3 June 2010.[8]
phew
I cannot now find the link that gave me that info re the three year gap. So for the moment panic over and sorry to give you a such a bad evening.
Thanks for that!
You, have just spoilt my evening.
I’d just had the thought that, power always attracts the worst of human nature.
I hope you are wrong!
As it happens, jgm2 could be right.
If Brown were able to call a State of National Emergency the laws governing the length of a parliament are NOT protected. Brown could get an Order In Council signed that could extend the length of the current parliament. The Tories and Lib Dems tried to get this protected, Labour rejected it.

Are all politicians fat and gay?
Correction.fat Hunts and gay
Course not.
Mr Ned says it all really.
Ha, well spotted Fawkes ! He has that seedy, Morgan the Organ , overfed look about him too. Just immagine having to baby sit milimong minor though. Are any of them normal ?
You’re banned from the PPC lists if you’re normal these days. Returning an MP with experience of life would show the rest up.
They do more rowing backwards than Redgrave and Pinsent
Call off the boys, they’ve withdrawn their names
I want a job with Miliblink’s Shite Strategy.
Give me a job, Dave.
There’s a job going for Departmental Head of Banana Procurement, budgeted headcount > 20 persons, annual salary £ 125,000-, usual –fiddles–allowances of
£ 400 per diem, use of ministerial car and all the Nokias you can catch. Interested ?
Alan Donnelly is Executive Chairman of Sovereign Strategy, whose website states: “After retiring from the European Parliament in February 2000, Alan Donnelly became executive chairman of his own company . . . “. What it doesn’t say is that he resigned his Euro-seat only 6 months after the Euro-elections, to the fury of Labour MEPs (of whom he was the leader) and Labour activists in the North East who had been prevented from standing themselves in the elections. He is also famous for having a punch-up in South Shields Town Hall with Stephen Hepburn, now the MP for Jarrow. . .
So the Prius is a really good car. And on that bombshell.fuck wrong site

Oh I do.
The religious beliefs of aspiring politicians should be known before they are accepted as a prospective parliamentary member for a constituency. If the indigenous population want to elect muslims, or atheists, then at least they know what they are doing; and can accept the consequences from the rest of us. But for prospective MPs to allow themselves to be portrayed as patriotic Englishmen and women while all along plotting other agendas is treacherous and should be proscribed by the electoral system of our country.
patriotism is not a religion
It is in Kircaldy.
but it is a right
He’s got his work cut out. The word on the street in South Shields is that they’re fed up with the Milliband twat and he’ll get a massive kick up the arse come the election. Back to being a mature student?
I like that.Word on the street. Can we all do that. Word on the street here is Twigg is fooked.tell us your street word.
Paggered!
Sorry, no streets here. Can we say the word on The Avenue?
There’ll be dancing in the sands of Sooth Sheells when that happens!
Obviously I hate Brown, though but!
Oh, please , let this come to pass…
Millibland out!

OT—-When Gitmo detainee Binyim Muhamed complained of sleep deprivation it probably ment he had to get up at 8am. Pussy.
Oh, I thought he been denied home comforts – thought he’d complained of sheep deprivation.
Fuck me 3/1 the B+P win a seat at the election.Anti post it is then
http://www.paddypower.com/bet/other-politics/uk-politics?ev_oc_grp_ids=110515
One slight flaw in your plan.
”Settled in accordance with BBC results.”
B&P unlikely to get a seat at this election. They’ll gain a fair few under AV though from Labour.
That’s nothing: they’re offering 25/1 for Hottie Herperson to win Rear of the Year – same as Sinitta. Fill yer boots.
I have just re-invented monopoly.It will be in the shops soon. Look out for Cornershop Monopoly.

Actually Guido the brothers in Durham County Council tried to recant, but by the time they put the call through to the paper the story had been published.
[...] Cllr Malcolm has also been elevated today and became a target of Guido Fawkes. [...]
He also failed to mention he is an utter Ku_uuuuuuuuuuunt
And I am unanimous in that
fyi more about South Shields etc. http://mrmonkeysblog.wordpress.com/
Make of it what you will!
Mr Monkey, you and I know Cooncillor Malcolm’s days are numbered.
And a good thing too.
