        Rabid Socialist Anne Widdecombe has already slammed Pratt for breaking confidentiality and Guidos favourite Conservative Douglas Carswell dismissed the allegations as ‘unimportant’.

            Everything you see here is lies.

            Get on over to the list for the real scoops.

            Guido is sooo last season.

          • Couldn’t think who Broon reminded me of.

            One of them was loved by millions though.

          • Hattie Jacques says:

            superficial – the old lad Hancock was much loved – and had class. And was intelligent… Even Peter Brough’s radio dummy (don’t ask – it was a differentr world!) Archie Andrews was smarter than the Dour Broon… who deserves a punch up the bracket if anyone does… Sidney…

          • albacore says:

            Tony Hancock’s radio and TV characters brought the nation together in weekly celebrations of innocent, uplifting fun.
            Any episode of ‘ancocks Half Hour benefited the country more than all Brown’s achievements put together.

            There is a difference of course.

            One was a much loved tragic figure.

            The other is just tragic.

          Don’t you DARE talk about my Anne in that way !

          She is rabid in no way at all.

          She is an inspiration to millions of homeless children in calcutta.

          She creates a sense of well being whenever she enters a room.

          She wears robes made of the finest yarns.

          No MY Annie (as I’m allowed to call her) is rabid in no way at all !

          She also asked for the bullying allegations to be investigated by Gus O’Donnell, you fucking pillock.

          • look! a Liar says:

            Aren’t you the stupid cun’t who tried to claim Widdecombe DIDN’T attack Pratt for breaking confidentiality ?

            That makes you a Liar.

            As for the investigation, so fucking what ?
            The Conservatives and the Lib Dems are calling for an investigation but it was Widdecombe who attacked the breach of confidentiality.

            And if you knew what the fuck you were talking about you’d realise Gus O’Donnell is likely to be grilled about what he knows and did by the justice select committee on Wednesday.

            But you don’t because you’re just another twatty clueless party hack.

          Mr Ned says:

          Now the labour party are bullying the independent anti-bullying charity and trying to get them to breach their confidentiality and name the people who called their helpline…. Can this get worse for Brown?

          • say what ??? says:

            it was Pratt who broke confidentiality not Downing Steet
            you think Dave wouldn’t be calling for evidence if he faced allegations without a shred of proof ?
            you need to take your partisan blinkers off Neddy
            this is a sideshow the Rawnsley allegations are the more deadly

          City of Vice says:

          These Westminster politicos just don’t get it. To them, abusing ordinary( i.e. ‘unimportant’) workers at No 10 or ripping off taxpayers monies on expenses and self serving beanos do not matter because politicians see themselves as a special breed. Big mistake.

          The comments attributed to them represent poor judgment by Widdicombe and Carswell, both of whom would be well advised to shut up and leave Brown to stew in the mess of his own making. Even as we speak Brown’s supporters are making things far worse for Labour by running to the media, trying to shoot the messenger (s). So now we now know what the Labour Party really thinks about workplace bullying and ‘workers’ rights’ – up the workers, my arse! This cannot be playing well at Labour’s grassroots -all those union dues paid for nothing…

          • An ex-Private Secretary to a Labour SofS says:

            Well said. Our beloved BBC even had the the Chief Exec of the bullying charity doing her interview on the street in the pissing rain. But just before that had two pro-labour ‘commentators’ in the studio to give their views on the issue.

            Fail to see any breach of confidentiality, no names mentioned nor any direct allegations made against anybody. Just the point that our Prime Minister has contradicted codes against workplace bullying that he himself introduced. But that was ignored, all the BBC wanted to know was how the Tories were involved. *sigh* Rock/hard place etc.

            It needs to come out that such behaviour is and has been common practice across many government Private Offices since day one of the Labour government. If it’s not full-on screaming and shouting and throwing things, it’s demanding things (kit-kats, certain rare herbal tea etc) that the secretary of state knows full well that the private office does not have, then losing their temper when it isn’t in front of them within five minutes. I hope that the civil servants concerned can ‘come out’ and expose these bastards, I now certainly will.

          • tresgothik says:

            Widdecombe is the Patron of the charity and knows far more about it than you, as do Bullying-UK

            Douglas Carswell is smart enough to know it’s counterproductive to jump feet first into an allegation that has no proof whatsoever and no prospect of ever having any

        • 164

          Brown can’t be a bully, because he is a hero and normal family man. Any stories about his homosexuality are untrue. He never inhaled.

        • 166
          Hugh Janus says:

          This morning No 10 is at it again. On the one hand they accuse the helpline of breaching confidentiality (which they have not) and then, in the same breath, ask for proof that No 10 staff have contacted the helpline. Such stupidity is amazing, even by their twisted standards.

          I have the utmost respect for Rawsnsley’s integrity, and personally I have no doubt at all that what he has printed is accurate. So the never-ending line-up of so-called ministers yesterday was as nauseating as it was counter-productive. I hope the charity is now fully prepared for the smear-storm that will surely follow today, in the wake of Bullygate.

          And I agree – Widdy is a rabid socialist who, thankfully, will be gone after the election. I’m sure DC will be glad to see the back of her.

          John Humphrys is currently taking apart a NuLiebour stooge who is trying to dish some dirt on the charity. Well I never…..

          I wonder how much bad news is being buried while this rages on? Government spades will be flashing at the rate of a grave-digger on piece-work.

          • BullyingUK an anti bullying charity says:

            “We think it’s a serious breach of confidentiality for an anti-bullying charity to reveal details like this where such a small number of people are involved and – much worse – could potentially be identified.”

            not No 10, try again

          • Anonymous says:

            No.10′s complaint is that the charity breached confidentiality by confirming staff at No. 10 had contacted them and that as there are so few staff the staff who complained could be identified. Are we to assume then that No.10 are worried that Brown will seek reprisals against the staff?

          • Anonymous says:

            No.10 seem to be saying if Pratt had known about bullying complaints she should have contacted Downing Street at the time the complaints were made, yet at the same time they are saying for her tell anyone that bullying complaints were made is a breach of confidentiality!!!

            Why have the BBC not challenged Labour on this basic point?

      Concern over National Bullying Helpline comments about Prime Minister Gordon Brown says:

      We’re disappointed and concerned that the National Bullying Helpline has splashed all over the media that it has been contacted by staff in Gordon Brown’s office alleging bullying.

      We’ve had a deluge of complaints about it by email and Twitter.

      We think it’s a serious breach of confidentiality for an anti-bullying charity to reveal details like this where such a small number of people are involved and – much worse – could potentially be identified.

      It will deter other people from coming forward for help if they think that anti-bullying charities are going to splash their employer’s name all over the media.

      It’s important that when people come forward to speak about an issue as distressing as bullying they can do so in absolute confidence and even if their problems are resolved, that they know their confidence will be respected and maintained and not splashed all over the media.

          The bullying pro Gordon BBC says:

          Yep they are trying their hardest to defend Gordon and trash the Bullying helpline. This really is the BBC at its worst. One could even accuse them of Bullying the bullying helpline.

          • Bully Boy Brown says:

            Memo to self – must recommend that BBC Sian Williams for an honour ASAP. She gave the bullying helpline lady a thorough thrashing, and is the perfect sort of media person for the Labour machine.

            And where’s the list of those who complained to the helpline so I can deal with them in the usual manner?

          • Sian Williams - BBC stooge says:

            Yes – Sian Williams looked like she had swallowed a glass of poison when she finished her demolition of Christine Pratt – I do hope she chokes on it.

            She was one of those who experienced Brown’s tantrum at the Labour Party conference when she interviewed him.

            Just shows what people will do when told to by their bosses.

            No respect for her.

          • In The Interests of Balance says:

            There seem to be a lot of posts appearing on blogs and newspaper comment sections to the effect that even if Brown is a bully, it means he’s a human being who cares, while others are saying they are more likely to vote for him if he’s been bullying civil servants.

          • Mandelsodomite says:

            The Tory wankers are shooting their feet off again with some lame idea to thieve from the many to give to the few, selling off publicly owned bank shares at below market rate.

            Instead of selling the nationally owned bank shares at market rate, to add cash to the exchequer so they don’t have to borrow so much, the Tory morons are going to let greedy bastards with money buy them up at less than market value (so they make an instant profit at the expense of the rest of us).

            The Tories are fucking filth. They are just a paper thin façade for grabbing jews.

            The idea that the Tories will get the BBC under control is wrong. The jews won’t let them, as the BBC is now a major part of the global jew propaganda machine.

            Fucking Tory scum are no better than the filth in Nu Liebore.

      It may or may not be coincidence, but El Bulli (the posh Spanish restaurant favoured by gastropseuds) is closing for good. It’s losing 500K euros per year, whereas ‘Yon Bully’ (the inane Scottish lunatic favoured by noone) is losing that much of our money every few minutes.

        BBC (Brown's Bullying corporation) says:

        Oldest trick in the book. Attack the messenger not the message

        • 181
          Hugh Janus says:

          The other oldest trick in the book is for NuLiebour to deny something that hasn’t been alleged. The book does not say that McBlubber attacked someone – so let’s deny that shall we? Neither does the book talk about an ‘investigation’ by Gus O’Donnell – so let’s deny that as well while we are at it.

          This is classic conduct for a corrupt and morally bankrupt party as they try to dig themselves out of Bullygate. Instead thay are just throwing fuel on the fire. Keep up the good work – even DC should be enjoying this.

          Come what may, the truly amazing fact is that 25-30% still think that NuLiebour is a good idea.

    Power, Incompetence and Aggression says:

    Bosses who are in over their heads are more likely to bully subordinates. That’s because feelings of inadequacy trigger them to lash out at those around them, according to new research from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California.

    “Incompetence alone doesn’t lead to aggression,” said Serena Chen, associate professor of psychology at UC Berkeley and co-author of the study. “It’s the combination of having a high-power role and fearing that one is not up to the task that causes power holders to lash out. And our data suggest it’s ultimately about self-worth.”

    Flattery may not be the best way to soothe a savage boss, the study points out: “It is both interesting and ironic to note that such flattery, although perhaps affirming to the ego, may contribute to the incompetent power holder’s ultimate demise — by causing the power holder to lose touch with reality,” the study concludes.

    Gordens Scotched Earth Policy says:

    Gordon Brown, 1992 Sovereignty Lecture to Charter88:
    “…it is because the Scottish parliament is the precursor for one in Wales and regional devolution throughout Britain that the West Lothian question – essentially that different M.P.s will have differing roles at Westminster – is not a genuine problem in proceeding with change.”
    Gordon Brown, ‘The Politics of Nationalism and Devolution’ (1980):
    “a revised Scotland Act could embody some form of the ‘in-and-out’ principle. Under such a principle the remaining Scottish MPs at Westminster would not be allowed to take part in the proceedings of the House when it was debating England or Welsh domestic matters. The ‘in-and-out’ principle ought to be attractive to Conservatives since it would ensure them a semi-permanent majority on most social issues at Westminster – no small prize. Labour remains formally committed to devolution and may be expected to consider a plan along these lines in the future.”

      This is not painful enough to get through the fog created by Gordon’s cocktail of anti depressant drugs, he’d only register a vague feeling of discomfort.

      What about going to work on him with a potato peeler.

      Starting at his shins, moving all the way up over a period of several days.

    Conflict of interest says:

    The National Bullying Helpline has a large conflict of interest claim hanging over it. This claim is that Christine Pratt advised callers to that line to use services her private company provide and didn’t make that clear to callers.

    • 76

      Do you have a source for that, or is this just more Liebour crap?

      If you look at the helpline’s website, it doesn’t exactly try to hide the fact that Mr and Mrs Pratt also run a HR consultancy business specialising in workplace bullying. They also recommend some solicitors who make donations to the charity – all open and above board.

      Mind you, given the standard of grammar and punctuation on both the charity and the company websites, my conclusion would be that whoever is responsible for them is probably prime HR consultant material, and unlikely to be much use to anyone.

        “This investigation was instigated by a telephone call to the National Bullying Helpline (Charity) by [X], the complainant.”
        Elsewhere in the preamble, the report says:

        “Conflict of interest
        Employment Law Solicitors will take instructions from an employee or an employer and advise them on employment matters but will not represent both parties at the same time, as this places them is a position described as a ‘conflict of interest’. HR & Diversity Management Limited operates in exactly the same way. At no time will we act for both the employee and the employer… In this case, HR&DM is acting for the employer”

        Remember that when an employment situation has got this bad, the employer is the prospective (or maybe the actual) legal opponent of the employee. At that stage, the employer’s solicitor’s interest will focus on protecting the employer from the employee. If HR&DM operates “exactly the same way”, the employee could be in for a rough ride.

        It is unthinkable that someone would elicit calls for help from desperate people, identify their alleged bully, and then team up with the alleged bully. It is so unthinkable that, even as it is happening, people cannot tell they are being taken in.

        A complaint was made about this conflict of interests to a now former trustee of the helpline. Mrs Pratt’s reaction was to add a paragraph on the National Bullying Helpline front page

          Conflict of interest says:

          For very obvious reasons, NSPCC helpline operators do not join forces with alleged child abusers, housing helplines do not side with alleged unscrupulous landlords and rape crisis lines do not ask alleged rapists for their opinions on whether their victims were raped. This has to be a fundamental principle that any charitable helpline applies. Whatever explanations Ms Pratt may give, the fact is that a call to a charitable helpline should never progress this way.

          X called the helpline because she was at her wits’ end and did not know what to do. She wanted some good advice, and trusted the helpline because of its links with Cary Cooper and, at the time, Tim Field’s family, and X believed they would fully understand her problem and give her the best guidance on how to deal with it. When X first rang the helpline she had not raised a grievance. She was advised that she needed to do so or she could not be helped. The “help” was an independent investigation by HR & DM. X raised the grievance and forwarded HR&DM’s template letter to her employer.

          Whilst superficially the offer was very appealing – an impartial investigation is exactly what a genuinely aggrieved employee wants – that was not what happened, and in the end the only person to benefit was Christine Pratt, by way of a contract for her business worth in the region of £8000 (at £100 per hour).

          The author accepts that employers will engage HR specialists for a fee, and they will sometimes write reports that favour their fee-paying client. That is not the issue. The issue is that HR&DM’s client was identified and introduced by a person who genuinely believed they were going to be helped, but who ultimately lost their job because helpine founder and CEO Christine Pratt’s report was calculated or likely to seriously damage or destroy the relationship of trust and confidence between her employer client and employee client

            Now if you would be so kind as to shut up since I put up.
            I have never voted Labour and never will but I expect that kind of kneejerk unthinking smear from those too ‘challenged’ to think for themselves who spew the Party line like a deranged parrot, be it Labour Conservative or Lib Dem.

            The Rawnsley allegations are serious and even though they are not sourced, I believe them as he has a track record of accuracy and his book was a good one.

            Pratt however is a self publicising side circus and it’s not for nothing she has already been criticised by a Conservative.

          City of Vice says:

          Did the bullying helpline person name the people involved? No. Rather she was responding to Mandelbum’s general lying piece on TV that no bullying of staff at number ten had taken place. That was a judgment call on her part, no doubt influenced by the likelihood that if the ‘there was no bullying’ lies got traction, the staff at No 10 would be in an even more vulnerable position, witch-hunt style. But hey, Brown’s flunkeys have started the witch-hunt anyway wanting victims’ names named and casting aspersions on the charity. This could seriously backfire, given the number of fake charities Labour party that apparatchiks are involved in…

          Please don’t meander on about solicitors or employment law. Lawyers generally are full of shit, hence Parliament is full of them.

      City of Vice says:

      The issue isn’t whether workers at No 10 called the helpline. The issue is that Brown thought it his right to bully ordinary workers at No 10 at all. What kind of ‘socialism’ is that ? Labour: hypocritical, grasping, deluded scum.

          if you insist says:

          Natalie will reveal in the book how:

          “Tory A” – one of the two current senior MPs – falsely claimed to be a breast surgeon and fondled her breasts while “checking for lumps”.

          “He used to bring a ‘special’ piece of equipment to enhance his sexual prowess… he was actually unable to perform without it.”

          e will also expose a string of high-profile public figures, including a bank chief and a world-famous TV host. One banking executive told her after he was late for a session: “Sorry, I couldn’t get away from a meeting with the Prime Minister.”

          She said “Tory B” insisted on wearing rubber pants so her whip would not leave marks on his backside. “He was nervous at first, but he soon got into it. He’d snort coc–ne before, during and after the session – lots of it,” she said. “He liked to wear a dog’s collar and play sex games including whipping… he would call out ‘Please give me mercy, please give me mercy’.”

          Natalie reveals she was hired by “Tory C” after his wealthy friends bet him he couldn’t get a black girlfriend. But then he became addicted to her weekly whipping sessions.

          She said: “I’d turn up for sessions at his home … but what was bizarre is that he was still living with his mum and she’d be in the house while it was going on.”

          But she says he was a let-down when it came to sex, earning him the nickname Two-minute Wonder.

          “One night he was having a session with me and another girl and we got so bored we left him handcuffed to his radiator for a couple of hours while we went out to a nightclub.”

          Natalie also tells how “Tory D” – now a Lord – was set up to visit her by his own WIFE, apparently in a bid to spice up their sex life. Natalie said: “I was gobsmacked when he told me, but I guess it takes all sorts. I couldn’t work out what was in it for her. I think it was so he could indulge in one or two of his fantasies.

      3. Now asking for clear evidence from the charity which the are not permitted to give by law(a Labour one)

        We’re disappointed and concerned that the National Bullying Helpline has splashed all over the media that it has been contacted by staff in Gordon Brown’s office alleging bullying.

        We’ve had a deluge of complaints about it by email and Twitter.

        We think it’s a serious breach of confidentiality for an anti-bullying charity to reveal details like this where such a small number of people are involved and – much worse – could potentially be identified.

        It will deter other people from coming forward for help if they think that anti-bullying charities are going to splash their employer’s name all over the media.

        It’s important that when people come forward to speak about an issue as distressing as bullying they can do so in absolute confidence and even if their problems are resolved, that they know their confidence will be respected and maintained and not splashed all over the media.

        ‘It’s a breach of confidentiality’
        Row over claims Downing Street staff called National Bullying Helpline flares up as charities patron warns of ‘serious consequences’
        row over Christine Pratt’s claim that staff in Gordon Brown’s office contacted the National Bullying Helpline intensified last night after she was criticised by the charity’s lead patron and other anti-bullying organisations.

        Pratt has claimed that Downing Street staff had called the confidential helpline “three or four times” in recent years and downloaded information.

        The charity’s patron, Ann Widdecombe MP, below, said she had not spoken to Pratt, but that her comments could have “serious” consequences. “My instincts are that I wish she hadn’t [made the comments] … helplines should always be confidential,” she said. “It’s quite serious.” According to the charity, calls are “confidential” and “will be treated with dignity and respect”.

      Conservative Party national leadership accused of betraying the ‘Turnip Taliban’

      The Conservative Party’s national leadership was today accused of betraying local Tories over a row about the selection of a general election candidate who had an extra-marital affair.

      Sir Jeremy said he was contacted during a firework party and asked to phone party leader David Cameron about the issue, adding: ‘His message to me was that we had made a mistake and please hold hard because if we stir the pot it could have a ripple effect throughout the Conservative Party.

      ‘Since then, he has done a U-turn on the referendum (on the Lisbon Treaty), and I would have thought that had rather more of a ripple effect than I am causing in South-West Norfolk.

      But Conservative Norfolk county councillor Cliff Jordan said that local Tories felt ‘as though they have been misled’.

      He told the World This Weekend: ‘Whether they like this or not, the powers that be, the so-called political elite, have let Norfolk down and this lady has let Norfolk down.

      ‘How she could possibly think she could represent people from South-West Norfolk in Parliament I have no idea.

      ‘I would imagine Central Office will be pulling in the Gatling guns and getting the bullies out of the woodwork to try to force them to do what they want.’

      Tories are heading for hung parliament, warns Heseltine says:

      David Cameron is facing the nightmare of a minority government in a hung parliament, Lord Heseltine has warned. The former Deputy Prime Minister’s remarks coincide with a sequence of opinion polls showing that the gap between the two main parties has been closing since the new year, when greater attention focused on the Conservatives.

      The latest YouGov survey, in The Sunday Times, put Labour at 33 per cent, six points behind the Conservatives, at 39 per cent, and suggests that Gordon Brown’s personal standing has improved since his soul-baring interview with Piers Morgan on ITV. That lead would make the Conservatives the largest party in the Commons, but well short of an outright majority.

      Last week, at a meeting of party activists, Lord Heseltine said he would “put money” on a hung parliament. According to The Sunday Telegraph, his audience, which included the shadow Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude, was “stunned” by his pessimism.

        Trouble with YouGov is it’s boss is a bullybrown supporter and he has been rewarded for his loyalty with the appointment of his loathsome baroness wife as the EU Foreign Minister. YouGov polls are therefore unreliable because they skew results in bullybrown’s favour.

        I think we need to wait for polls, other than YouGov, which are taken after this latest bullybrown debacle to see whether the polls do close the gap between the two parties any further.

    People will accept Brown shouting and bullying Party apparatchiks,Cabinet Ministers,MPs and Senior Civil Servants because they feel these people knew the score when Brown was allowed to become PM and that they are big enough to look after themselves.

    No what is really toxic for Brown is people thinking that he’s bullying “junior” staff ….who could be their son/daughter/husband/wife/brother/sister etc. That is what will “do” for Brown. It can only get worse if one of the complainants is on “the sick” for depression caused by bullying and they or more likely their immediate loved ones are so incensed at what they see as the cause that they break ranks feeling that they have nothing to lose. This story still has legs and great capacity to damage Brown fatally.

    This is probably one of those moments which when people look back one will be the moment Labour’s chances of winning an election were finally lost. Labour know that that’s why they’re desperately scurrying around calling in all their favours with their supporters in the media to try and contain the stoy and dis-credit the accuser .They know what this means for Brown/Labour He will NEVER shake this accusation off even IF it was proved to be politically motivated.

    It would be good for us all if Brown came out of the front door at number 10 and said his demeanour in the past had been wrong. He wishes to apologise to anyone who felt threatened by my behaviour. It was certainly not personal it was possibly frustration.

    This is a lonely job but one I enjoy. There are many prime ministers who, in the past, were as abrupt as I have been but I accept that I was so wrong and will do my level best to ensure I do not upset staff again.

    We will then all love him and vote for him and thank him for everything.

    Brown is an asset we can not afford to lose. He will lead us to the promised land. He is a great man, he is wonderful.

    Hooray! The final relaunch completely obliterated by virtually every paper and news network constantly running the story that the PM is a bullying madman with the ability/temperament of a spiteful and spoiled 2 year old!

    What makes it even better is that all of the “defence” lines put out by Mandy and Number 10 are being brushed off as lies by absolutely everyone because people finally see every response from Mandy/Number-10 as just playing with semantics, so everyone, even journalists, are openly laughing at what Mandy/Number-10 say and reporting it as misleading/irrelevant obfuscation. Even if Mandy/Number-10 told the truth, nobody would believe them.

    They are so fucked.

    This reminds me of 1997 when, if a comet was hurtling for Earth and the tories had said “go into your basement, you’ve got 10 minutes”, people would have just said:
    “yeah, right, like I believe anything that you’d ever say, you fuckwit”

    Except, it’s not just a few rotten apples this time, it’s the PM, and virtually every single member of their party.

    The majority of the electorate are too stupid to realise/understand/appreciate the annihilation of the economy, but they do object to being constantly lied to.

    Portillo was right; when a government reaches a point where nobody believes anything that they ever say that’s the tipping point; the economy can be destroyed but that won’t tip the balance at an election; only personal hatred of the people in power will change a government, and that kind of personal hatred only comes into play for the majority of the electorate when they feel they’ve been deliberately screwed over and lied to by a bunch of evil self-serving bastards.

    This story will be the final nail in the labour coffin.

      It’s a strategy which I expect Dr Kelly’s wife is all too aware of.

      Luckily for us all the strategy is now so blatent (and inappropriately directed) that even the most stupid voter would see it.

      It should have all come to a head when Dr Kelly died, but the media never pushed it as hard as they should have done. Back then the state basically drove an innocent man to suicide because they wanted to hide the lies that they were coming out with.

      This should have been sorted out (and a new government put in place) years ago, but for some reason the media see general workplace bullying as more important than driving a man to his death to hide a lie which started an illegal war.

      There are so many whistle-blowers speaking now though that the media can no longer ignore them. This is what happens when a bully starts to lose his power; all the people that the bully screwed over start to come out of the woodwork and you start to get a fuller picture of how truly evil the bully really was. It’s a downward spiral for the bully, because, being a bully, he was only using threats to maintain his position, not respect or ability.

      Brown only got into power because he threatened/bribed his colleagues into not allowing anyone else to stand against him (and because the labour party have really fucking stupid rules for electing leaders). Once you start to eat away at those threats (weeks until a general election where his party’s losing in the polls) he holds virtually no power over them anymore.

      If you think this makes him look bad, just wait until he loses the election with a landslide victory against him; then you’ll start to see the truth come out about not just Brown, but the whole labour government, and that’ll scare you fucking shitless.

          My guess is that it all started when Blair replaced all the civil servants with his own spin-meisters when he first got into Downing Street.
          I assume there would have been a general instruction to them like:
          “We need to stay in power. You do whatever it takes, you do anything, and I mean *anything* to keep us in power. Just don’t tell me what you do as I need to have deniability”
          And that would still be in place today.

          I’ve been saying the same for years Frank. Labour has all the dirt on every fucker. Somebody at MI5 has down-loaded everything they have on every MP and handed it to some wanker in the Labour party. Just as Ricky Tomlinson had a file compiled by MI5 then every other one of these MPs will be generating a file the second he joined the Students Union.

          It is the only conceivable way such a vile crowd could keep control.

          I cannot believe way back in the 1970s and 1980s when this crowd of Labour MPs were thinking of how they could improve life for the working man that they sat there in their University Labour Party giving it ‘Yeah, and we’ll force them all to carry ID cards, yeah and we’ll suspend ‘double jeopardy’, yeah and then we’ll introduce detention without trial, yeah and we’ll double income tax on the poorest, yeah and we’ll abolish jury trials…’

          I always got the impression these lefties were wide-eyed idealists not Stalinist nutcases. But look at the c*nts now. No initiative that proceeds from the diseased mind of the Maximum Imbecile is too ludicrous for them to prevent them traipsing bovine-like through the lobbies.

          They have all been bought with positions on comedy committees or bogus Ministerial posts – Minister For Fuck All. And failing that they are selected for their blind loyalty no matter what idiocy. And failing that they are threatened with exposure as a pervert or a crook.

          Somebody, somewhere is very definitely feeding them the dirt.

          And that is how Paddy Ashdown was lured into a non-aggression pact in 1997 and then promptly thrown to the media.

            It’s a lefty-thing, because centre/right wing ideology is fundamentally sound, whereas lefty ideology can never work in the longer term.

            If you mug the same man every day, and make him unemployed, then sooner or later you won’t be able to mug him anymore because his wallet’ll be empty.

            Lefty-ideology has good intentions, but logically can never ever work. Lefties are basically people who are too arrogant, stupid, or selfish to consider the broader/longer-term impact/outcome of their ideology.

    If you give Brown another 5 years it would only do him more damage
    as i think the pressure will make him start to “self harm”
    i think he would start by biting his finger nails down to the quick,followed by removing one of his eyes just to seek attention then Hacking off those enormouse ears which keep telling him to do the right thing
    then the voices in his head will convince him that He and He alone is set to rule the world (After he saved it ) and they will tell him that every world leader must make appointments to bow before him and no longer will he have to chase them like a lap dog for a photo opportunity as they will be queuing up to be seen with him and even more bizzar than this is 30% of the electorate beiieve the same things !

    Good old Albeeb. As you would expect the R5 phone-in has become a bash the bully charity rather than Brown. If the woman at the charity is lying how can she have compromised anyone. If she is telling the truth – she is of course – then Downing Street is lying. But as ever Albeeb could not care less. You would think the woman had just made the allegation out of the blue, for fuck sake she is only backing up what other people – including respected journalists – have already said.

    If it had been John Major, Albeeb would be demanding to know why the woman hadn’t come forward sooner.

    Of course I’m not a f****** bully & I’ll f****** kill anyone who says I am! Ed, ED, find out the names of the staff who spoke to that f****** Anti-Bullying Helpline & f****** give them their f****** P45s. Sack them for Gross Misconduct, no severence pay & f****** stop their f****** pensions too – f****** sneaking about me behind my back! C****! And Ed, give McBride a ring & ask him the best way to smear that c*** from the Helpline. And ring the Charities Commission & ask them to investigate the Helpline – can it be closed down? Get a f****** move on Ed, you lazy f*****, this is important – I’m important. Bully – me – a f****** bully – I’ll f****** show them!

    Labour poison says:

    The sinister cloak of the Labour machine gathers itself overnight and then casts it’s poison across the nation.

    The very evil of Hitler,Goebbels and Stalin encapsulated in the past 24 hours,running propaganda through their BBC vehicle.

    So sinister it makes me shiver.

    When the kids are through University,we are leaving this hell hole – UK is now a shit hole.

    10 Drowning Street says:

    Look, ordinary people out there, we’re going to be frightfully busy today, rapidly rebutting, smearing Charities, threatening internal staff and generally spinning faster than the planet Jupiter.

    So just run along and mind your own business.

    If you don’t we’ll get Gordon round to punch your head in.

    Just watched Brown arriving at a conference in Chelsea with Mandleson. Whilst well away from cameras and clearly thinking he wasn’t being filmed,his demeanour was grim and angry.

    As soon as he got closer,the disgusting gurn appeared…..

    Brown you’re a fucking fake…and a bully to boot.

    “Any allegations of workplace bullying will be dealt with in the usual manner”….Yep,by beating the shit out of the complainant.

    When will Jacqui learn says:

    Didn’t Gordo bully his way into the job to begin with?
    Watching him giving it soem at the Investment Conference is making me feel sick – he contributes massively to the recession and now wants to appear a hero for sorting it out.
    Just received a leaflet from HM Government through my door telling me how to deal with anti social behaviour in my area – maybe they should leave some around in downing street?

    Glory be – the media blindspot is cracking. Ben Brogan in the T: “One day Labour is going to have to account for how it let a man whose weaknesses were all too familiar to those at the top to end up running the country”

    Yes Ben. Although “explain” might be a better word than account.

    The country asks: How the fuck did a man like this rise to the top of the labour party? And the labour party says: “ummmmmm”.

      When will Jacqui learn says:

      Attempt No 3

      Another massive question is, Why would 30% of the population still want to support this proven liar, bully, retard, and incompetent failure.

      Have they been drugged to have a completely abnormal reaction to what is in front of them.

      Come to that how can the idiot Labour Trolls here continue to spew out their drivel.

      Are they all basically controlled by Aliens.

    Even Ben on GMTV was bullying Ms Pratt in the interview this morning. At least it was on the sofa and not outside in the rain to.

Max Clifford says…

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
