CCHQ BCC Boob

Congratulations are in order to Nick King of the Conservative Research Department who, when sending a relatively mundane memo to every Tory candidate in the country, managed to forget to BCC the list. Now whether or not CCHQ would want the personal account details of every PPC made available to each other in easy troublemaking format is one thing, but it mysteriously ended up in someone else’s inbox too…

Go on, make Guido an offer he can’t refuse…

Update 10.54: It seems there are too many Nick Kings in the Conservative Party. Guido is most sorry for confusing Nick King the PPC for Mid Dorset, which would explain why it was so easy to find a picture of him, with Nick King of CCHQ.

          For someone who claims to be independent it seems most curious that intead of causing mischief and getting a scoop with the list you are brazenly angling for sweeties from CCHQ to sit on it

          You would of course do the same if it was a labour or lib dem list

          Sir William Waad says:

          Government Money was never earned. It wasn’t acquired by hard work, skill, thrift or even luck. Nobody ever loved it or cared for it. It was just found in great heaps on the floor. It can be used for any purpose whatever, however vain and destructive, or squandered purposelessly. It is a formless and featureless substance and spending it is a virtue. Masses more of it can be called into being by a click of the Chancellor’s fingers. Remember: Government Money is not your money or mine, it just IS and will continue to be for the few milliseconds it requires for the Government to dissipate it.

          • Exactly, Sir William – so why do the cranks who claim to have harnessed zero-point energy (we think it is there, it is predicted by quantum field theory, it may be an artefact…) get rightly dismissed as lunatics, while the lunatics that create fiat money (we know it’s not there, most of economic theory is predicated upon it, and it is the most artificial thing we can think of…) are lauded and showered with Nobel prizes?

            I despair, I really do – time for a stroll round Walden Pond again.

        There are two news media outlets I never bother with – the beeb and the mirror.

          What Darling actually said for the benefit of the overexcitable mongs says:

          “I remember the weekend after we came back and I’d done this interview and the forces of hell were unleashed,” the chancellor told Sky News last night.

          Asked by the interviewer, Jeff Randall, whether this was by No 10, Darling added: “Not just them, the Tories as well.”

          He did not unmask the aides involved, but when he was presented with the names of disgraced spinner, Damian McBride, and another former adviser, Charlie Whelan, he replied: “Of course, there were people saying things.” In a clear swipe at Mr McBride, who left his post at No.10 after he was exposed as having composed a series of invented smears about Tory MPs, he added: “Frankly, my best answer for them is, I’m still here, one of them is not.”

          However, while the Chancellor admitted to having “some bad days” with Mr Brown, he said that he had never been bullied. “Of course, Gordon and I have some very robust exchanges,” he said. “I can’t imagine any healthy relationship between a prime minister and a chancellor where they don’t have differences from time to time.”

    Just as Lirbour have always been the party of incompetence, the tories of the past stuck to their traditional corruption. All new liebour did was add these tory values making them the party of incompetence and corruption, whereas with the new tories it’s the other way round.

    • 41
      Mr Ned says:

      Except labour excelled at the corruption and increased the scale somewhat.

      From 2k in a brown envelope to a very junior minister to ask a question in the house, under the tories, to 1 million plus to the party leadership to exclude F1 from labour’s NHS flagship election policy of banning cigarette advertising. Not to mention the excessive MP’s expenses that were not available under the tories, which allowed MP’s to build property portfolios and renovate those properties at the taxpayer expense without being subject to capital gains tax.

        ‘Not to mention the excessive MPs’ expenses that were not available under the tories’

        Sorry Neddy but you are talking out of your arse old son.

        They were all CAUGHT last year but it had been going on since the 1980s and with even more abandon since they barely even needed to justify any of it till a few years ago.

        It was in the 1980s that the seeds of the current debacle were sown.

        At the time, the independent body that sets MPs’ pay and allowances stated that the pay of MPs had fallen behind. A substantial pay rise was recommended to bring the pay to the same level as comparable public sector jobs. However, the then PM refused to accept the recommendation. Instead, the rules on London housing and living costs were dramatically relaxed and the amount available increased. MPs were told that this was to compensate them for not getting the pay rise. So the Housing Allowance became part of the pay package.

    Despite repeated hints that the Tories would reverse at least part of the NI rise due next year, Mr Cameron has conceded that he cannot find public spending cuts to raise the money to stop the tax increase.

    His candid remarks may dismay Tory right-wingers, who believe the party should be making more explicit promises to cut taxes and argue that reducing the tax burden if the best way to restore the public finances to health.

    Shamed police commander Ali Dizaei has been assaulted while in prison, sources said.

    The senior Metropolitan Police officer is serving a four-year jail sentence for assaulting and falsely arresting a young businessman before trying to frame him.

    Another inmate at HMP Edmunds Hill, Suffolk, poured a slop bucket over Dizaei’s head on Monday, the Daily Mirror reported, and the former police officer was then punched in the face and knocked out.

    The newspaper said he was only moved to the prison on Friday amid fears for his safety, and is now in seclusion.

    He was convicted earlier this month for his treatment of Waad al-Baghdadi, 24, and branded a “criminal in uniform” by chairman of the Independent Police Complaints Commission Nick Hardwick.

    Dizaei could be officially sacked within weeks after Scotland Yard disciplinary proceedings are complete. He is appealing against his conviction.

    A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: “A prisoner at HMP Edmunds Hill was assaulted. Staff intervened and he was moved to a place of safety.”

He’ll then have a chance to ‘assess’ the forthright opinions that many of the public have about him. Without Screws to chuck him back in his cell after each beating. And if he’s out of prison, presumably there’s no parole?

    labour is a cancer on society says:

    Off topic but is dodgy postal voting ever really off topic when discussing elections. This was posted on caledonianmercury.com and really opened my eyes.

    “redcliffe62 says:
    February 23, 2010 at 5:06 am
    Off topic but the by elections with their high postal votes told me that things would be different with postal votes and every party needs to be aware.

    It would appear that the labour approach at the election is to ask people on the doorstep if they intend to vote labour and if they say yes, simply say they do not need to go to the polls, here is an envelope, fill it in where appropriate, (the box for labour already ticked of course), and we will pick it up next week.
    “Known voters” as the labour spokesmen called them.

    AND IT WORKS, IT WILL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE VOTED LABOUR EVEN IF YOU JUST SAID YOU WOULD VOTE LABOUR TO MAKE THE GUY HAPPY ON YOUR DOORSTEP.

    Great system, and it worked in the by elections so expect it everywhere. Guarantees voters who could not be bothered to go out they will have voted and voted for you.
    That 5% were rejected at the by elections was not explained, nor was the fact that some people tuerned up to find they had already voted. For that to happen someone must have filled the form in for their house, assuming they were not going to vote.
    I suppose if someone said they were not voting then a cheat could fill in a postal
    vote knowing there would be no conflict in the tally. That would at least explain how the trial runs at Glenrothes and Glasgow North East had some “mistakes”.

    This election will be dirty, and postal voting will be a major factor in it.
    All the parties should do this, get in early and sign people up, legally, then the polling stations will be empty but the postal votes will perhaps reach 60% plus!
    Labour held onto some of these votes for up to month when legally they were required to hand them over in 48 hours. I smell a rat.”

    The only thing Dave needs to do in PMQ’s is to laugh off the rehearsed answers and just do his best to make Gordon angry.

    Its just a matter of finding “timebomb Gordon’s” self-exploding button.
    It is not as if Gordon ever anwers any direct question, The answers invariably wind up in a diatribe of statistics and slogans.

    You would have though by now Dave would have such a good idea of the answers that he could bomb them before they can be spewed out.

    Example:

    “Does the PM believe that a head office with a bullying culture is like a cancer for the rest of the Company – that in respect of the No 10 head office ought to be an example for the whole nation?”

    Gordon will try redirect the answer to personal details of the questioner with something like….. You would think the person asking that would be more sure that his own…..

    I think that PMQs has reached a real low with the electorate precisely because nothing ever gets answered there.

    • 94

      If I was Dave, I’d stand up and ignore Gordon, suggesting he never answers a question anyway, – ask his benches instead “Darling, has Gordon lied about you? Charles, has Gordon lied about you? David, has Gordon lied about you?” and say that rather than PMQs, it’s time for Qs about the PM. And then call a vote of no confidence. And see what the psycho does.

    One thing’s for sure. Brown doing GMTV and Balls BBC Breakfast at pretty much the same time and unscheduled, shows that they are rattled and are taking these Bullying tales seriously. If it were not true, they would not bother, these are two of the bussiest men in the country.

    Congratulations to Romoford boy Jeff Randall, two great interviews, he probably got more out the chancellor than any of the big hitters of the airwaves.

    I loved his clinical assasination of Browns performance as Chancellor.

    Growth and borrowing it was a classic put down of everything Brown has spouted since 97.
    40 bn in debt repayments, if Cameron does not beat Brown over the head today and have his back benchers collectively launch into attack linking financial incompetence with foriegn office incompetences. Fact we spend more on debt interest than we do on defence link it to the Falklands, Venezuela and Israel all taking the proverbial piss out of us and more importantly our Queen.
    Then kill of Johnston and Burnham over the NHS and the severe problems that the NHS is not fit for purpose.

    We need radical NHS changes and we need them now, any Tory government will cut NI and give people the chance to go private only offering a core service and a specialised service from the remaining NHS budget that concentrates on Children up to 18 years and older people from 60 onwards.
    ALl the rest with reduced Tax on NI contributions and lower Tax scales will be forced to use the money to buy insurance for medical health. If they can spend money on cars and TV’s they can spend money on health.

    Just saaw some images from the Justice Committee hearing today which got me wondering why are MPs etc still being called honourable and Rt honourable when they are far from honourable as has been shown this past little while with the expenses and bullying scandals?

    Sadly I didn’t miss seeing Ed NoBalls on News 24 this morning – what an absolute plonker the man (and I use the term loosely) is. I wonder if that particular interview will be on youtube – I hope so. There he is going on defending Government policy on teenage pregnancy, It’s down 10% over the past 10 years apparently – the Government’s target was 50% reduction – Ed No Balls sees that as success. Are the figures not UP this year? He never covered that though – well would he?

      jgm2 says:

      If teenage pregnancy is down by 10% in ten years it will only be because immigrant Muslim girls now make up more than 10% of teenagers so percentage-wise there’s less home-grown white trash to get knocked-up.

    I have come to the following conclusion since the weekend and I do believe Mandy is behind this attack on Gordon Brown.

    It is a major concern the Tory party are playing the game that a hung parliament or need for another election is the best strategy to destroy Labour.

    Mandy strategy is to ensure defeat of Labour so the following can happen.

    LABOUR ARE SCARED OF WINNING THE NEXT ELECTION!

    I believe they know what is to come and they know what poison pills they have put in place, polls are up so make it a given that the Tories win.

    This is Mandy’s strategy to save the party as when in opposition they can sit back and blame the Tory party as unemployment breaks 3.5 million and we go cap in hand to the IMF & America for a loan.

    What will we give away to get it. The Oil in the Falklands.

      mondeoman says:

      On the oil question, I can see some back room deal being done to carve up the sea around the Falklands, this will be a sell out of course, but that would not be a surprise when looking at this government. remember, they still have time to agree on things that will have lasting impacts, the sorched earth policy approach continues, day in day out until the election is called.

    Then we have Mrs Pratt singing like a Canary to Max Clifford. Number 10 have all but destroyed her. If she decides to take her revenge or just go down fighting then the coming Sunday papers could be the end of Gordon. Especially if one or more of the bullied staff also go to Clifford.

    City of Vice says:

    Slightly O/T but Coulson is a liabilty to the Tories, although not for the reasons that the Labourite scum think he is.

    Dave seems a decent, well-mannered type of bloke. However, he keeps missing open goals and clearly is not up for delivering the rough type of treatment these bogus Labour tossers deserve. The country wants red meat, to inspire the much deserved routing of Labour, but instead we are being served vegetarian fare. I don’t blame Dave for this. He’ll probably prove competent and level headed once elected but he is who he is and can’t change that. Fine.

    Here’s were the problem with Coulson kicks in. The communication of the Tory message – whatever that is – has been woeful. I have no problem with Dave going light on policy at the moment – why give Labour free shots – but more rough and tumble, more dirty fighting is required. However I am afraid that Coulson’s past at the News of the World seems to have compromised his ability or willingness to fight dirty, for fear of the Labour making capital out of his past. As this election is will be a no holds barred we cannot afford such distractions.

    Either Coulson ups his game with immediate effect or he should be dumped – pronto. Let the Labourites have their scalp, albeit of a minion, get it out of the way, then go for the bastards big time.

    Brown’s ratings are lower than the Labour party’s ratings.
    That means Brown will drag down the Labour vote.
    The Brown failure factor is probably worth around 5 points to the Tories and with a margin of error added the Conservatives are still around 8 points ahead.
    And that is before the bully boy tactics employed by Brown and his henchmen have been taken into account. That will probably give the Tories around 3-5 extra points, so within the next month the Tories will return to a 10-12 point lead on the polls.
    If Labour had got rid of Brown last year they could have reversed the trend but it is too late for them now. Brown is the dead weight that will drag them down and out of office.

        anon says:

        Polls have no real bearing until the election campaign. The leads the Conservative have had over the last year have therefore been fairly meaningless and led to a false confidence which has caused the Conservatives to play a waiting game in the false belief that their victory was assured.
        The point I am making is that the Tories have depended upon the unpopularity of the Labour party to carry them through and by not ditching Brown last summer the Labour party has played into the Tories hands.
        The Tories have done nothing to deserve an election victory they have merely depended upon the unpopularity of Brown which, although helpful, is not sufficient for them to win an outright majority. At the time Brown was in danger of being deposed the Conservative should have been making positive plans and policies and promoted them relentlessly but instead they blethered about keeping their powder dry and not wanting to publish policy because Labour would steal it.
        That failure to move forward and to create a momentum of Tory support will cost the Conservatives a working majority. As it is too late for the Labour party to avoid defeat, so it is too late for the Conservatives to win an outright victory.
        They have both lost.
        The general election campaign was fought and lost by both sides last year.
        The main winners will be the Lib-Dems and UKIP, the Green party and independent candidates.
        The times they are a-changing. Two party politics is so last century.

    Being able to email “to” or “cc” email-groups should be something that microsoft should make impossible without having 100′s of “are you really bloody sure?” questions; it’s far too easy to accidentally use.

    In my humble opinion, whenever you use an email “group”, it should really only allow it as a “bcc”.

    The guy who sent it is obviously a twat, but it’s easier to do it than it should be.

    Or, was he manually adding the people one-by-one via an address book and not using a “group” ? If so, then that’s the wrong way to go about it.

    They should really have a web-based emailing system which automates that kind of thing, using outlook for that kind of stuff is fucking dangerous.

    Using outlook to receive/read emails is fine, but as soon as you get into mailing potentially 100′s of people you need to bin outlook as the sending process and do it via a web-based thing instead, just like merchants do with mailshots to their customers.

    It’s not fucking rocket science; it’d take a techie about 2 hours to write such a web-based mass emailing system. Virtually every online merchant uses those, why can’t the tories?
