Pigs Might Fly

Three books out now insinuate that Brown is bonkers; Rawnsley’s, Watt’s and the latest one from Lance Price. Guido has always maintained that he is in la-la-land. This excerpt from the transcript from his forthcoming television love-in with Piers Morgan illustrates Guido’s point:

Piers Morgan: What’s been the best present you weren’t allowed to keep?

Prime Mentalist:
Er, I think the different governments in the Middle East send huge presents. One actually, after a dinner, was a full pig that they actually sent, that had been roasted.

Which Middle Eastern muslim government would send a roasted pig to a foreign head of government?  If they did it would not just be a breach of protocol, it would be some helluva insult. Wouldn’t be Israel either sending the roast pork.  Like a lot of his claims it will, Guido suspects, turn out to be a delusion.

        Could be “roasted” as in the PM term…. being shouted at and having Nokias thrown at it….

        I was perplexed as to why good Muslim or Jewish Countries would send a pig. But then I remembered about the Israeli soldiers wrapping the remains of suicide bombers in pigskins to bury them – so they wouldnt get their 72 virgins and go to heaven etc…
        A “undiverse” approach that apparently dampened the enthusiasm of would-be bombers….

        Maybe they wanted to bury the McMentalist too…

            It’s not true. It’s actually based on stuff the Americans did to Filipino fighters during their occuption of the Philippines in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War.

            Israel has never done any such thing and, in fact, Israeli law would preclude any such action.

    Well, they were going to send a sheep, but thought the members of the Cabinet might feel insulted. Then, they rejected a suggestion to send a goat, because the PM might be insulted. Chicken was rejected for the same reason.

    Most people can see straight through this spin and it will surely backfire on Brown.

    so no doubt the PM (even unelected) gets loads of gifts, sporting ones etc.. and the BEST present he can think of was a roasted pig. Is he 3 years old.

    The pig was probably full of coke.

    Honestly if another govenment wants to keep McMental and his infantile humour happy then how about a bart simpson to go on the back of his car and does moonies? or a fart machine? or a big mouth billie bass (Cherie Blair edition).

      and how did he know it was a ‘after a dinner’ – so a load of Middle Eastern PM’s were sitting about having dinner – at the end of the meal they noticed a roast pig (understandably not eaten) and were concerned what to do with it and one said “call DHL and send to Gordon Brown, he loves a roasted pig?” – AND if they did – please tell me that GB wrote a thank you letter:

      Dear PM

      Thanks for the roasted pig you sent me last night.

    I can’t think of any countries in the middle east who eat pork; jews and muslims both see pigs as filthy creatures that you should avoid at all costs.

    It’s not just a religious thing either, it’s a cultural thing for the entire middle eastern region.

    In their eyes, sending him a roasted pig is the same as sending him a box of human faeces with an attached note saying “eat shit, you bastard”.

    Either he’s lying, or the country in question wanted to give him the biggest insult they possibly could.

    Brown interview with Moron;

    ………………………………

      Margaret Thatcher despised the ordinary people of this country because she thought that they didn’t give due honour to her father, a local politician and small business man.
      She despised British Railways and did all she could to get the rail ways closed down in favour of road transport.. She never use a train.
      She despised the working classes and destroyed 100 years of improving their home and work comditions by reintroducing slavery…..

    Which Middle Eastern muslim government would send a roasted pig to a foreign head of government?

    Lebanon has a Christian president, it’s in their constitution. Countries like Syria have significant Christian populations and do not have an official state religion. And if the idiot included Cyprus in his definition of Middle East then they have a huge pig industry, comparable to the Low Countries on a per capita basis. I’d tend to the view that it was a secret insult though.

What a load of shit, this is the biggest Tory suck-each-others-cocks blog out there… I saw ‘Guido’ on the TV claiming to be independent, what a load of crap. Anyone with a braincell can tell Labourlist is a Labour site, but for you to claim this is not Tory cock-sucking-general is bullshit.

    A lovely ‘caption’ contest for Davey C, and pick out the bit that suits your shit jokes for Brown. Brilliant.

      Of course, guido’s politics have a lot more in common with the conservatives than Labour, if its a pro-conservative-PARTY setup then its pretty damn subtle.

      Its not as if conservatives get absolute support or even an easy ride. Apart from Nadine.

    Was the pig somewhat Polonium enriched?

    Might have been the Iranians then, or the Pakistani’s from the ISI, then again perhaps the Saudi’s pissed again over the BAe bribery enquiry, or the Kuwaiti’s or the Gulf emir’s, then again the Israeli’s might have gone for the double bluff, as they are always pissed at support for the Palestinians.

    Anyway demonstrates the Prime Mentalist is not quite all there. A suckling pig short of a Bar Mitzvah.

    Cardinal del Monte says:

    The Middle East has “different governments”….

    Brown has the penetrating insight into Middle-Eastern politics of George Bush or Sarah Palin. Maybe after the Election they”ll give him Tony Blair’s job as Special Representative in the Middle East. He could make as good a job of it as he made of Tony Blair’s job as Prime Minister.

    Gordon obviously has got as little grasp on World politics and ethnic / religious backgrounds as he has on accountancy. If a Muslim gave you a pig stuffed or otherwise it would be a pretty strong message, DOH!

    Gooey Blob says:

    I’m sure the tears for his daughter were genuine, but doing the interview with Piers so close to an election does not make Gordon look good. I can’t help thinking that the timing of the exercise is deliberate, and designed to give Brown a boost in the polls. If Brown calls an early election after this, I think we are entitled to draw the conclusion that the whole exercise is deeply cynical. Why was the interview not done six months ago? Why could it not be done after the election?

    The culture of spin at the heart of Labour needs to be addressed. Mandelson and Campbell have to be removed before the party can again be considered honest and decent.

      John Terry I am snide and treacherous says:

      Absolutely agree. I had great sympathy when Brown’s child died just I would for any parent. However, this resurfacing of the incident at this time is exceptionally poor taste. He must have had guidelines before the interview with Morgan and could have made it plain that was not to be mentioned.

      Perhaps I am ultra cynical but I see the dead hand of the devious Mandelson behind this interview. I think many people will feel disgust that this emotional incident has been brought up after such a long time and yet just weeks before electioneering begins. It will do Brown no good though because already people are seeing it for what it is – spin on a most disgusting level.

      politically un-correct social worker(retired) says:

      it’s a new election strategy for Labour, called ‘sobbing for socialism’. They will all be at it soon, and Harriet will propose legislation enforcing the right of men to blubber publicly as much as women. That’s what comes of years of focus groups dominated by social workers

      An early election? Oh please God, yes! I can’t take anymore of that mental case or the BBC pumping out Government tractor stats and AGW bollocks. I can’t wait to see numerous Portillo moments only to be followed by Al-Jabeeba squirming as it realises it’s fucked. In the name of God, please let there be an early election!!!!

    So if you don’t eat pigs,
    And we don’t eat pigs,
    Why not, not eat pigs together?

    Andrew says:

    Not knowing anything about possible collusion by Sarah Brown, when it got to the daughter’s death part of the interview, my wife said to me “why is he putting his wife through this?”
    Which I think is a fair comment, collusion or not. But Brown would never consider his wife’s feelings so long as the interview helped his popularity (which it won’t).

    Classic from Brown when asked about the sacking of John Terry:

    “Clearly this is a decision for Mr Capello” – no shit Sherlock

    “I am sure that everyone will want to abide by his decision” – well, bugger me, up that point Terry was going to declare himself still captain and refuse to hand back the armband. But then our great leader spoke; c**t

    Morgan has a few months left in him.

    As soon as Dave takes over – Morgan will be gone.

    This story of the pig, is exactly the stuff people need to be made aware of.

    Obviously, Gordon would have been well “groomed” for the exercise ahead.

    Obviously, Morgan will have done a dry run with Gordon before the “live” interview.

    Live interview goes ahead – job done.

    I’m not a well travelled or particularly well educated person.

    I am not Jewish nor muslim.

    EVEN I REALISED THE PIG MISTAKE !!!!!!!!!!!

    This is obviously made up and an obvious lie.

    Brown can’t even be honest about day to day details. Lord knows what happens when it comes to important things e.g. Banana or kit-kat.

      Tesco Is Total Shite says:

      Why would a compulsive liar NOT lie about the pig? When has Broon ever been honest about ANYTHING? There was a throwaway line about Basil Fawlty providing enough material for a whole psychiatrists’ convention. If Broon wasn’t so utterly horrendous and depressing as a supposed human being, so utterly, cringingly repellent in everything he does, says and touches, he’d make a better than middling subject for a full psychiatric examination. Then again, anyone trying to make sense of such a fucked-up apology for a man would end up in analysis him or herself.

      He writes about courage. He’s actually a craven coward who dithers over every decision. He tell a press conference he didn’t want to replace the pathetic Darling as chancellor. He throws a Nokia in the official Jag and injures his chauffeur. I have this from a recently departed staffer at No 10. (In the US this would have ended up in court). He treats his secretarial staff like shit, pushing over computer tables in fits of uncontrollable frustration. Ditto. He employs lumps of human excrement to slag off and lie about his political opponents. Following a string of by-election defeats he has ballot boxes stuffed at Glenrothes. This should have ended his career, put his bullying acolytes in the slammer and Nuliabour in the septic tank for ever, but where is the forensic journalist with the guts and determination to put this on the front pages? We don’t have such a beast, guys ‘n’ gals.
