Silence is Deadly
While the limos may not be circling Parliament Square just yet, it is worth noting the intense speculation that something is up at Downing Street today. The polls are tightening, the recession figures could be spun well and Dave and co are off to the seaside for the spring forum that Labour couldn’t afford. Has Gordon been reading up on Wilson?
“Wilson would make his annual trip to see HMQ at Balmoral to coincide with the start of the Tory conference. To disrupt proceedings at the seaside, Wilson would feed a few trusted journalists that he was seeking a dissolution. It worked a treat. ”
Gordon’s has never recovered from the election-that-never-was in Autumn 2007 because he allowed the speculation to go on too long. The Tories are secretly praying he holds off until May, as are the media whose well planned agendas would have been a total waste of time. Bookies have stopped taking bets on March 25th. If Gordon doesn’t make a move to confirm or quell the hype it will be Bottler Brown all over again.
Wilson quote via Events Dear Boy Events.
Tomorrow wouldn’t be too soon.
We don’t give a running commentary on the election date….
I can think of five reasons why now is as good a time as any for Brown, considering things may well get trickier in the coming weeks, and this would certainly allow him to get one over on his newly unbullyable chancellor…

you mean after you were the one doing the intense speculation saying there would be an election Guido
because no-one else seems to have jumped on that bandwagon
truly desperate stuff
it’s always been may6
Why are you lot bothered when it is anyway…??
You have already voted by post !!
postal voting for those of us overseas is a fucking joke – many of us are dis-enfranchised by the ridiculous rules regarding the posting dates for the forms – these rules being set by – you guessed it – the EU….!!!!
Enjoy your humble pie come Monday – Guido is on the money.
It’s Umble Pie actually – Umbles being old-English for offal, miscellaneous tubes and organs.
You are mistaking etymology for semantics, probably because you are a twat with a pub quiz mentality and a tendency to autism.
Blurtin’ Bob Anisworth said so, and he doesn’t mess about.
I didn’t see blurtin’ Bob but the reports I heard suggested it was so obviously a staged ‘blurt’ – out of context – no need to say anything – struggled to shoe-horn it in – that it was just another deliberate piece of misinformation.
Seriously – this is Gordon Brown. Do you think (even if he knew himself – which he doesn’t – but I do) he’d entrust the election date to anybody? Particularly Bob ‘Adolf’ Ainsworth – famous amongst those who know him for being a fuckwit of the first water?
Naaah. He was ordered to go out and ‘leak’ that date which he duly did with his customary incompetence.
In the mind of Broon he is one of the greatest chancellors ever, he concedes there were other great chancellors, like: Bonnie Prince Charlie and Robbie Burns, and, he also acknowledges, reluctantly, to himself, that Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson and Richard The Lion Heart, were also like him, but they were not socialists and so he never studied them at university. Also in his mind he does not see the need to bother with elections because his great vision, when it is put into force, will be so unanimously accepted and appreciated that no body will ever want another leader. He knows this because of how the labour party, the people who are nearest him in intellect, already understand something of his great vision, that’s why there was no need for him to have an election for the leadership.
I suspect your ainsworth analysis is spot on
~ known universally as Bollcks Bob to the Military. The Minister who managed to let our Forecs run out of 9mm ammo – such that they had to borrow some off the Yanlks whilst the fucked-up supply line was sorted out. Stirrup rang Whitehall to bollock them and the MoD procurement wallah trotted out the its-not-my-job line Stirrup reputedly pointed out that unlees he sorted in pfq the he wouldn’t have a job – or a pension! bunch of chumps.
Well said Hugh – election as soon as possible please, so we can give this disgraceful bunch of cunts in ‘government’ the P45s they deserve.
the polls dont seem to think there’ll be as many P45′s as you’d like !
Yours is in the post.
Goodbye.
Idiot! P45′s are issued to those who had been in work – and they form a very small number.
fuck away off you dim tosspot
I’ve now had time to look in more detail at the ONS press release regarding GDP and it actually implies that Q4 2009 GDP in volume terms has not been revised upwards at all, hence also implying that the better growth on Q3 is indeed merely down to a downwards revision of Q3 2009.
The ONS press release states that GDP in Q4 2009 was 3.3% lower than in Q4 2008. Given the chained index volume number was 104.1 for Q4 2008, that implies a reading of 100.66 for Q4 2009 and the initial estimate for Q4 2009 was ….
…. 100.7!!
Wooh, the stronger Q4 2009 recovery is due to a weaker Q3 2009 than previously reported! Spin indeed!
I somehow don’t think your average Labour voter is going to study this, declare “The rotters!” and change his vote.
This is the problem- we have a Government which relies on stupidity and has managed to create it. It’s like a gardener dropping dung to make his veg grow.
Sounds like a good tactic.
I don’t suppose the public at large would be bothered whether he announces it now or in a couple of weeks.
Tastes like a good tictac.
The best tactic is to have an election in March so they don’t have to produce a tax rise budget before it…
Spinning the 0.3% increase and making loads of promises (aka lies) for the budget is their best gambit.
The election will also precede the impending massive public sector job losses (even the Beeb is talking of cutbacks ) and Browns voters being made unemployed. They won’t vote for him after they have been made unemployed.
And if Cameron gets in and has to sort the mess out – in 5 years time the cutbacks, tax rises and the pain can be blamed on him !!!
“NuLabour spin” – there’s mileage in every crisis !!
It’s for this reason I almost wish Labour would win the election . Then at least they’ll be in charge when we all take it up the shitter.
I’m with you.
A limp/Lab coalition, economic meltdown and another election in 12 months or so is what we need.
i reluctantly agree – if we are economically stuffed, let’ at least get some benefit – the total destruction of socialism as a concept…but then again – there is the EU – a huge socialist monster just off our shores….sigh
C’mon you brown thing, do it NOW, you know it makes sense.
It’s the RIGHT THING TO DO….
RTRS: UK PM’s spokesman: Brown has no meetings with Queen planned this weekend
sorry guido
plans change
we’ll know when because it will be leaked to the Mirror first
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the fairest of them all?
Answer ya ugly fat bastard or ah’ll fucking nut ye!
Ooof, smash, tinkle…
Ye’ve ruined ma life noo.
How can you be so sure he will not be meeting Mandelson?
Meeting or “meating”?
Maybe Brown can get the Queens permission for an election by email these days ! So he doesnt have to have a meeting with her
She’s already had 5,000 requests by post
Jack Straw put it down to a clerical error
Labour HQ filled in the wrong forms !
As I understand it HMQ doesn’t welcome politicians dropping in at Windsor at the weekends.This is the “family” seat just like Balmoral is in Scotland. Business is conducted in the “office” – Buckingham Palace Mon-Fri strictly 11am to 3pm
But of course it doesn’t preclude Monday morning.
Brown needs to either squash the rumours or go for it.Sitting on the fence dithering is no longer a sustainable option
Does she answer emails on her Blackberry at Windsor at the weekend John?
Course I fucking don’t.
“Course one fucking don’t”
“Of course one fucking doesn’t.”
Of course one fucking does not.
Ectually – one does !
Garnicht!
Check at the NoTW perhaps?
I agree – it is no longer a sustainable option.
Non sustainable for Gordon and his communist mates, because, if they don’t call that election, Her Majesty’s Men will take care of the situation.
Her Majesty the Queen, is still the head of state.
Her Majesty still owns parliament.
Gordon is still Her Majesty’s Prime Mentalist.
Her Majesty’s men will act according to her requests and her demands.
I would rather have Her Majesty the Queen ruling over me that that one eyed, genetically defective, subversive, ANTI BRITISH twit Brown.
Please don’t call an election gordon, a repeat of the Iranian embassy (only this time on downing street) would be super dooper for recruiting figures !
Not sure about the constitutional propriety of it, but the thought of Brown being forcibly ejected out of the Fuhrer Bunker by some of Her Majesties loyal soldiers is really quite wonderful. Can they do it to the Banksters and Ken Bruce too!!
We have thrown a ring of steel round the Brown Bunker!
Yes Yes Brigadier but what is the situation with Herr Bruce!
Thrown a ring of steel around the brown bunker ?
WHO THE HELL do you think provides that ring of steel ?
Her Majesty’s men provide that ring of steel, and they are loyal to…..ummmm…..errrrrr……..Her Majesty the Queen? perhaps?
Fucking hell ! one word, one telephone call “domestic subversion” situation – job done. all over.
What rumours. The inly place i have seen a rumour is here!
Perfect tactic Guido: Start a rumour and then when it doesn’t come true call Brown a bottler. This is the reason why the dead tree press will be going for a while yet. They have editors to filter out this crap…
Your theory has only one flaw: Brown *is* a bottler.
Do you seriously think Brown reads Guido and acts to squash Guido’s speculations?
I will repeat, nay, re-iterate, Brown will leave the election to the latest date because he just can’t bring himself to announce the date of his political demise. It’s like having to choose the date of your execution. His whole life has been devoted to becoming Prime Minister.
Sure, it’s turned out rather sour, but he still LOVES to be the Premier.
Anon, is this the same PM’s spokesman that said a couple of days back that he knew nothing about any bullying in the PM’s office?
Brown might not be meeting Mandelson, but that isn’t to say that he doesn’t have a meeting with Her Majesty.
I hear that the BBC sent out an order for 200 bottle of the finest champagne today. Be afraid, be very afraid.
200……that ain’t going to go far is it !
Bill Ethrington and Geraldine Smith will get rid of that in a couple of hours !
Unless they water it down?
Or ration it?
hmmm, tricky problem this…….I know, why not add an extra £15 to the TV license, and they can get a loan to cover the cost of 20,000 bottles of champagne !
I’ve just dropped some coke off there too !
I hope it was good coke, not that crap they use at the Guardian?
Where the heck do you get decent coke, these days?
I’ve got an old solid-fuel Aga that would love some.
Of course it would all be academic if he consumed a glass of Paraquat with his evening meal.
Lets get the damn thing over with. Every day less of a Liebour government is better for the country – even if we do end up with a minority government!
5 more years of bruin, then! wish we had a tory party to vote for!
What would be left for him to destroy?
It won’t happen.
He had a good chance in 2007 and bottled it. His chances are not better now, so why would a man synonymous with avoidance and cowardice show some decisiveness this time?
May 6th, or maybe he’ll hang on until the last possible moment in June.
This is the best it is going to get for Brown and time is rapidly running out. With the latest Mori showing Labour with the largest number of seats and the GDP figures revised upwards this is his only window of opportunity.
Throughout April and May the economy is going to deteriorate rapidly so if Brown doesn’t go now he faces wipeout.
Will he take the opportunity or will he bottle it?
Either way he’s needs to make some decision.This is is best chance he’s going to get to either win or become the largest party in a hung parliament.
Does he want to give “Dave” the chance to say at his Brighton Conference tomorrow –”Call that election Prime Minister …if you dare or are you going to bottle out again ?”
There’s not a whole lot of good news going to happen in the next couple of months.
This weekend is the best chance he has to call the election, in order to overshadow the two biggest news stories – likely to be the Tory conference and Rownsley’s book revelations.
The talk in the city early this morning was flatline or very small decrease in GDP figure. So this was good news you’d think. I will be amazed if he goes for a end of march GE but stranger things have happened. I suppose it depend on the amount of medication he takes over the weekend. He needs to be fairly lucid when talking to her majesty!
He makes exceptions for her then does he??
However I think he wont do it because he thinks he is so great that the will hold out for the economy improving even further to bolster his position.
The stark reality is that by april we’ll be back in recession.
The point is that we can see its the best time to go but i doubt he will
Okay Mystic Meg, thanks for your contribution.
Now get back to polishing your crystal ball love.
March, April, May, June. I predict that the election will take place in one of these months. Remember it was me that got it correct See ya
How come Mystic Meg never won the lottery?
To be fair you can’t accuse my hero of cowardice when it is on record that in 2007 he had a tooth drilled without an anesthetic.
His dentist told the Sun Newspaper, who were on our side then, “He was perfectly relaxed” and “did not flinch or grimace at any stage”.
I wonder if he flinches or grimaces when he’s being buggared by Mandelson?
He does both, just like the rest of us.
Do jellyfish have central nervous systems?
No, they don’t. They have a loose network of nerves in the epidermis, which is the thick top of the “bell” part of the body. A very few species have light-sensitive cells as well.
He’s like a kipper.
Two faced and no backbone!
Gutless as well!!
I hope No 10 are going to bully this dentist out of his job for breaching patient confideltiality.
Is it courage for a masochist to not grimace when their buttocks are whipped with a riding crop ?
Or is it pleasure.
So fucking what !
What a tough guy Mcbust is
it was probably £10 quid cheaper not to have it
i’ve had all my fillings without for the last 10 years !
June 3rd.
Last possible day.
If at all.
The latter – funny.
I hear that this morning, Ed Balls, Doug Alexander, Peter Mandelson and several others are all urging Brown to call the election for March 25th. As usual Brown is dithering but dropping hints that he will do so by Monday so long as weekend polls don’t move strongly back to the Tories.
If he fails to act soon he is likely to be accused of bottling it again.
If I had a pair I’d go for it!
Love The Name !
You are Graham Stringer and I claim my £5.
he didn’t do it when he was ahead in the polls so what makes you think he would go for it if he trails by as little as 1 – 2%
How soon is now?
about 5 minutes ago
Just hope the 30% does not get bigger. Retards is being polite.
A large percentage of the question time lot last night – all very pleased with Peter Hain’s mutterings…
Did you spot the high number wearing red? Hmmm… I wonder why?
When you say it’s gonna happen now
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I’ve already waited too long
And all my hope is gone…
Hang the PM
Its all a question of balance,
announce now and risk it while Calamity Cameron is in a tail spin, or hold on in the hope he crashes and burns before you drown in the rapidly filling shit hole you have dug yourself……
Well there is only one way to find out!!!!!!
Every day Brown dithers is another lost seat for Labour.
I wish I could be certain of that. Never underestimate the gullibility of the electorate when they are being bombarded hourly with Labour good/safe Tory Bad/Risky by the Labour “shills” in the media
Half the electorate are dumbed-down, infantilised, over-indebted, spendaholic cretins, but even some of them aren’t so moronic as to vote Labour.
Don’t bet on it.
I wish I could be so sure!
Dither on…
Quite. Every day Brown dithers is further proof that Brown only cares about himself and not his party.
His claim to want to keep the Tories out of power is exposed for the lie it is, for each day he procrastinates and cowers from the electorate will cost the Labour party a seat and will boost the number of Tories in the commons.
Brown’s delaying is doing the Conservative party’s work for them.
The voter can smell fear and the stench emanating from the cowardly bully,Gordon Brown, is unmistakable.
He’s beaten either way. Because cutting and running now will be as big an admission he can make that he’s too afraid to give a budget. that’ he’s running scared of telling us the truth about how fucked the finances are.
June 3rd.
If the BBC has been told to standby it is just him using all the powers of the state to sow confusion with the Tories. Then he’ll re-announce he’s going to give free lap-tops to chavs or something.
Oooooo… did you think? ….. Ooooooh. Sorry to ruin your weekend. Never mind.
I’m still waiting for the last free laptop.
He announced that in 1999.
Then again in 2003
Then dug it out for the conference in 2008
Re did it for Nov 2009 and finally again in Jan 2010 which was a repeat of the 2009 announcement for no reason.
He is like some old granny who keeps telling you things you don’t care about, about people you don’t know, that aren’t interesting or even true.
“I used to live next door to Professor Moriarty you know.”
“You used to live in Broadstairs Nan.
the number of people who will vote labour is proof of their failed education policy
No, the success of their edukayshn policy.
wotchoo on abaht?
all i had to do wuz open me legs for 5 mins and i got a council flat and an income for life!
luvvly!
Silence is deadly! so true!
any one seen an opposition party to vote for yet?
UKIP, indpendent candidates, the Green party, the Liberal Democrats.
Both main parties are going to lose votes to the above.
Do try to keep up.
Labour are going to lose loads of votes to the B, N, P, enough to let the Tories or Lib Dems win some previously solid Labour seats.
Afraid not, the nearest thing we have to an opposition is the Daily Mail.
Except for Paul Dacre who is so far up Brown’s arse that he’s standing on Toenails Robinson’s shiny head.
Brown’s anus is like the Tardis FFS.
With lots of Klingons; metaphorical or otherwise.
I can tell you that BBC newsteams are expecting an election announcement within days. The atmosphere here is febrile.
The BBC and Sky have been told to expect some big announcement from Downing St but will Brown bottle it again?
I was amused by the triumphal tone of Toady’s announcing this morning that the Charity Commission had gagged Mrs Pratt – however did they do that I wondered? Who had called the deliciously postmodernly named Dame Suzi Leather and told her to do her job at least once in a lifetime and live up to her monicker over this embarrassing National Bullying Helpline? It was not reported like that in the Labourgraph. Dame Suzi on past form would have trouble whipping up a meringue, let alone passion enough to gag a Mrs Pratt with or without Max Clifford behind her and/or a national interest defence, and even if the cascading ironies of the situation gave her no pause for contemplation. And so it has was. The dame has been lethargic, and Russell’s piece in the Grauniad means the cat is out of the bag. Oh the wasted opportunity – now Dame Suzi will suffer the bum’s rush, and having risen without trace is about to sink without trace – perfect symmetry. And in the vernacular, fucking delicious.
But I have to admit I have been mistaken about McRuinandblubber for a few years. I had concluded that nu liebore was no more than a gang of over-grown junior school children with an average age of 8, particularly the puerile Five Bellies and McNutty, with McCuckoo keeping them in order by dint of being 9. The Russell piece shows me how wrong I was – what a gem. McFuckwit has a mental age of 3. No wonder little hitler Balls has had such free reign – he is a cypher for McTwatty’s infantile neuroses. But it also reveals the Maximum Imbecile less intelligent than the average parrot.
I say, steady on old chap!
I’m sick of seeing and hearing Broon. I’d prefer it if he stuffed his fuck up his own fuck, and then dissapeared up it. Call the election now!
I hope it is June because on May 6 I am having my nails done.
Will it clash with X Factor? I luv Cheryl and Simon. Their dead fab they are!!
THE WEATHER MAY PLAY A PART. March can be grey, cold, wet and we still have the dark evenings. On days like that things don’t seem so good. Margaret Thatcher’s 3rd election was held on a beautiful spring May day and life felt good.
Wrong. Brown is depending on a low turn out so March is perfect.
Unfortunately (for him) I think low overall turnout would favour the Tories. Since those who want rid of him are far more motivated than those who want to keep him.
I can think of a trillion reasons to get rid of him but I cannot think of a single reason to keep him. Even Labour voter’s would probably concede that the only reason to keep him is ‘cos he’s not a Tory. It’s ain’t going to be because of the fucking brilliant job he made handling the economy is it? It ain’t going to be because of his crisp decision making powers over the Iraq war. Or indeed anything.
Labour’s successes at the polls have been largely due to the Tories staying at home for a few elections – the turnout has been going steadily down. I think three terms of this idiocy will be enough to persuade the Tories to make that trip to the polling booth this time.
Totally agree. The people most let down are traditional Labour voters. I think every Conservative in the country is going to be out to get rid of this useless bunch of tossers. Can’t wait…really hope its just 4 weeks away!
Not to mention how let down the ‘swing’ voters feel. They’re the ones who are not set in their ways. They believed in ‘fairness’ and ‘prudence’ and ‘an end to sleaze’ and all that shit. They are the ones who believe it’s important to vote but are prepared to be persuaded either way.
Now that it is crystal clear that the whole boom was just borrowed money, that Blair lied his head off just for a popularity boost he thought a short, sharp, decisive victory would give him (like Thatch in the Falklands), now that they see the illusion of prosperity was only maintained by brow-beating and smearing all questioners then they’ll be out to take their revenge.
They may not vote Tory but they certainly won’t be voting Labour.
Lots of people who are still in jobs are entirely state-dependant now. They will be worrying about Tories dismantling chunks of the public sector in the many places where big government departments are the main employers and there is nothing to take their place. I wouldn’t write off Labour’s chances, much as I’d like to keelhaul them all.
I agree. The Labour vote is pretty fixed, whatever the economy or the sinister undermining of Democracy. The people who matter are those middle-class people who voted Blair in 1997 because it was cool and they, rather oddly, wanted to have more money spent by Government.
Well, maybe they’ve learnt their lesson.
I have just received a very trustworthy email from my earstwhile collegues in East Anglia-on-the-tropics that says the weather will be warmer and all the icecaps will melt and kill the polar bears if you don’t vote for Gordon.
Polar Bear. The only animal that actively hunts humans for food – as opposed to those animals that will kill opportunistically. Evolution tells us to get rid of our predators. Please you British, if not for Brown’s incompetence, then for this reason kick the *astard out.
Polar Bears and Grizzly Bears are both subspecies of Ursus arctos – the Brown bear. They can interbreed.
So even if all the Polar bears disappeared, the species would not be extinct.
Grrrrrrrrr, vote for me
You’d think Polar bears would be pleased that the ice was melting, it has to be easier to catch fish in a river. Or just ransack people’s dustbins like other bears do.
If a Polar was crossed with a Brown would you get a Beige Bear?
Or a bear faced liar?
It doesn’t matter so much about about turn out this time around. All the Labour marginals are now covered by postal votes. Glenrothes got 6,000 just to be on the safe side ( if Labour lost it was bye bye Gordon).
Sarahtweet turned up and cooed at the Fife twats and they decided they had to vote Labour.
NEVER, EVER, EVER, underestimate the UNREMITTING, FUCKING STUPIDITY of the traditional Labour voter.
Worse even than these knobbers are the celebrities like EDDIE IZZARD etc who think it is COOL, for fuck’s sake, to proclaim their luv for Labour.
Ah Yes, Eddie Izzard, who once claimed that the EU had maintained peace in Europe for the last 30 years. To paraphrase Adolf, “If you are going tell ‘em, tell big ‘uns.”
This is England (well, it is where I am), and the weather can be like that all fucking year round.
Like all incompetent “leaders”, Brown is unable to make a judgement call on his own. He’s far more comfortable having other people make decisions, which if successful happened because of his “leadership”, and if unsuccessful will be down to the individual.
The date of an election is the single decision that he must make on his own. He simply can’t do it – if he get’s it wrong, then it’s him to blame. There isn’t a single bully out there that desires that personal culpability.
He’ll dither, fudge it and will be dragged (constitutionally speaking) to the Palace at the last possible moment.
Brown will never call an election, not even for the last possible date in June. He is psychologically incapable of doing it.
The BBC wil support him on the grounds that it would be reckless to give the Tories a chance of becoming the government and YouGov, Mori and the rest will produce polls that show that most voters agree with him.
The date of the General Election is no longer Brown’s decision. It will be made by the PLP. And every day the election is delayed Labour loses another seat in parliament.
The clock is ticking.
That’s not the way it works – Everyone in the the PLP knows Brown is a walking disaster – yet they are unable to shift him.
You think they can influence the election date?
Telling him to resign and telling him when the election will be held are completely different propositions.
Even a Tory troll like you who is as scared as Brown of holding a General Election can see that.
It’s possible, but if he did then the army would step in.
Brown/Labour have shat on the military big-time over the years, there’s no way the military would allow a total suspension of democracy; they’d liaise with the tories and then the army would physically eject brown from downing street.
Also, although the labour core vote would just stand by and not care, most other people would, I think, be willing to march to parliament/downing-street and force an election.
If Brown/Labour refused an election after the last legal date, there would quite literally be a revolution. Brown’s a coward and an idiot, but even he knows that suspending democracy would lead to him being strung up to a lamp-post by a baying mob; his fear of being physically harmed would outweigh his insane thirst for power, because by suspending democracy even Brown knows that literally millions of really fucking pissed off people would be on their way to downing street to rip off his head and shit down his neck.
The protests against the Iraq war were large but peaceful, but only because it was a protest about a foreign land. A protest about suspending democracy in the uk would most definitely not be a peaceful one.
He won’t suspend democracy; he’s mad and stupid, but he’s not completely suicidal.
Mind you, he could be tipped over the edge into the suidical category if his poll ratings decrease much more; watch him very very closely if that happens.
What are you on about? ‘if his poll ratings decrease much more’ they have been increasing weekly for the last 2 months, they are now within 5% of the Tories? That is minority government territory, and I have no doubt Brown would try and govern on that basis without a coalition even if it meant destroying the country.
Relax – the recent Angus Reid / Political Betting – This is where it matters
The LAB>CON swing from the general election in the national poll is 7.5%
The LAB-CON marginals
This is based on polling in Labour 150 most vulnerable seats where the shares in 2005 were C33:L43:LD17.
CON 42% (33)
LAB 28% (43)
LD 15% (17)
So overall these shares equate to a 12% LAB>CON swing since the 2005 general election which is 4.5% higher than the overall national swing – further evidence that the marginals are performing very differently.
BRING IT ON !!!
Personally I don’t believe the polls, I think they’re not telling the true story because I reckon there are a hell of a lot of people who won’t admit that they’d vote tory (or who even refuse to admit that they won’t vote labour) but, when push comes to shove and they get a choice, I don’t think very many people would actually be willing to say “yes, I’ll vote for that nice/capable Mr Brown’s party. He’s such a nice chap.”
I think there’ll be a massive protest vote, so there’ll be a lot of libdem or ukip votes etc, but my general feeling is that most people will vote for whoever in their constituency is most likely to defeat labour, and they won’t really care who it is as long as labour get ousted.
I don’t think anyone other than their “core vote” will actually vote for labour, and half of their core vote will either stay at home or vote ukip/libdem etc because of the expenses aspects and their general pissed-offedness for being constantly lied to for years.
My gut feeling is that the “anyone but labour” vote will lead to a substantial tory majority, an increase in the libdem/ukip MPs, and a complete decimation of the labour MPs. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking, but it’s my gut instinct. I could be wrong, but I hope I’m not.
If the PM doesn’t dissolve Parliament by the due date, the House of Lords has the constitutional duty to do it on his behalf.
If they didn’t, for whatever reason (stuffed full of Labourites for example), then it would be a constitutional crisis and we’d might be almost drifting into civil war territory.
All we need now is for the “Argies” to make some sort of token action in “Las Malvinas”.
Maybe. Or maybe his ‘advisers’ ,Mandelson and Campbell , are telling him this is as godd as it gets. Call the election today! You’ve sat on your arse for 22 months waiting for some kind of traction for your wheels spinning uselessly in the mud, and now, for no explicable reason, you have it!
Drive! Drive like the wind to the palace before yet another thumping of a secretary story breaks, or another torture victim is found. Another hospital kills 500 or a mother in social care sets fire to her baby. Do it now and you will win.
Wait until tomorrow and the faint gust that is holding you aloft will be lost…
Sadly Brown and the remainder of the cabal of c’unts will not make any decisions alone -can’t take the blame for anything can they? True Socialists as they are,they are wedded to committies in one form or another. Not for democratic reasons but so no-one takes all the blame.
McRuin has cocked this up by making the decisions then pretending he knew nothing about them,even if they were the ‘right thing to do’
Thats why he hates elections -nowhere to hide when it all goes pear shaped.
Waiting for Gordo
VLADIMIR:
I’m glad to see you back. I thought you were gone forever.
ESTRAGON:
Me too.
It’s more like Krapp’s Last Tape, surely?
Especially with his weakness for bananas, the seventeen copies of his last book sold, the sordidness and the general sense of failure.
David Cameron the leader of the enemy will be at a meeting of fascists this weekend planning to destroy our strong economy built up over the past 13 years by our great leader. Meanwhile the chosen one will be cuddling babies ‘n stuff in a childrens hospital, the will be many cherubs accompanying him with choral music sweetly emitting from the skies above.
That is all scum people of Britain
Public Announcement:
The white working class are all racist and so will not be allowed to vote at the next election.
End of announcement.
Brown must come out and call an election
Completely agree, but he is stuffed either way. If he wins an election there will be an immediate leadership challenge because the Cabinet wont be able to handle another 5 years at the hands of this maniac. Therefore, I think he’ll just hang on.
Mrs. Rochester is just asking one old queen what frock to wear when she goes to have tea this afternoon with the other old Queen.
Brown will go to the last day

all the people who have cam bashed well done the polls have tightened labour would be the biggest party, cam was all we had now you got gord help us ,five more years of that and there will be a military take over
Brown will not last five minutes, let alone five years after any election and he knows it.
The comrades hate him as much as we do and he will be “retired” to make way for an acceptable replacement.
It matters not a jot of course, he is only obeying orders now from our real government in Brussels.
Brown, the postman, Balls, Legg, Cameron all will do the bidding of others.
Time for real change and not the kind of change Phoney Cameron is offering either.
* Cleggover for Legg. Apologies.
I posted on here some months back and was told that CCHQ didn’t want to upset the natives so they were going softly, softly.
I now understand that the train, not only has it not yet left the station, but it’s still cold and unstarted, still in the sidings, unaware of, even, what platform to leave from.
Just what the fuck are they doing?
We dont want to win
we are quite happy to stay on this side of the house in oppersition and collect our huge saleries and even “Huger” pensions
if we had a policy people might vote for us
and we can’t have that can we !
Have a read of this site to see what All three big parties are up to
eutruth.org.uk/
Ah, yes I remember that post- recognised your name.
I am past caring.
I just hate Brown and all the rest of them
So do I. But what I want to know is this: when the Conservatives lose, how long will it take them to get rid of Cameron and Osborne? And who will replace them?
Once the election campaign starts let’s judge them then.
Don’t panic, hold your nerve.
Who is panicking? Cameron is shite and everyone knows it. Whichever way it goes, he has no future as leader and has had no future since November the 4th 2009.
It is Brown that we need to replace. Five days let alone five more years of Brown will kill this counbtry – end of.
Brown will last five years after any election? Seriously, what drugs are you on?
Do a deal with Nigel Farrage. Annoint him leader of the conservatives in return for them embracing a policy of leaving EU
So unkind! – I just wish him a long and happy retirement – JUST AS LONG AS HE STARTS IT SOON!
If the tory slump and the latest figures showing a faster, stronger recovery are hyped even more by the BBC, labour could fucking win this. I don’t mean by getting the liberals to prop them up either, but propper win.
I don’t think I have ever been more depressed.
If Labour win or form a coalition with the Lib Dems:
Sterling will crash on forex within hours
Gilt market will collapse within days
BofE will be forced into emergency interest rate rises up to 7% or higher within 2 weeks
IMF will make emergency loans within weeks but impose strict conditions
Public spending will be forcibly slashed
The govt will fall apart
New election called within 4 months of the last one
Tories win a landslide
Years of austerity imposed to pay for over 10 years of Brown’s profligacy
That may be the real fun option!
yup – that will be worth a tenner at ladbrokes
you should be. Cameron’s love of Europe and Immigration has them fucked. I’ve always voted tory, but no longer. I don’t give a fuck if this means that brown gets back in, because their policies are exactly the same, and I’m not voting for them.
It’s Daves’ choice,it’s HIS to lose.
Europe and climate change are the critical issues that prevent me from voting Tory; immigration policy is at least moving in the right direction.
Jo Coburn “shilling” for Labour against Nick Herbert on Daily Politics.
This is how hard it’s gonna be.Not only have the Tories gotta beat Labour with the biggest win since 1931 they’ve got most of the media incl BBC/Sky to beat too.
To use a cricketing metaphor- Cameron should be hitting Brown’s bowling for sixes all over the ground.Settling for leg byes isn’t an option.How can you not beat the worst government in recent times and a PM who is detested by two thirds of the country ??
You’ve answered the question yourself, Cameron has most of the MSM against him including the BBC and Sky News.
Agreed and did you see the pathetic Tory performance on Question Time last night. Had anyone told their man there is an election coming. with the exception of the adrimable Farrage what a shower. As for the BBC they succeeded in their mission ” THEY SHALL NOT PASS” not a single Eurosceptic voice in the whole of the audience, Dont make me laugh. The Welsh are as proud a people as the English. This programme is a disgrace. I simply cannot imagine what sort of place the UK would be if we did not have the likes of UKIP to stand up for us!!
Question Time was fixed last night. It was ‘get Farage and worship the EU’ night. It was blatent left wing propaganda with the ‘orange’ Hain looking and sounding just as ridiculous as ever. Shameful.
Dimblbey has Voderman with him next week.
They can swap stories about their third class degrees.
The LAB>CON swing from the general election in the national poll is 7.5%
The LAB-CON marginals
This is based on polling in Labour 150 most vulnerable seats where the shares in 2005 were C33:L43:LD17.
CON 42% (33)
LAB 28% (43)
LD 15% (17)
So overall these shares equate to a 12% LAB>CON swing since the 2005 general election which is 4.5% higher than the overall national swing – further evidence that the marginals are performing very differently.
Wow! Local radio news just said local Labour MP has told them the PM will announce the election to be held on march 25th
Still don’t believe it.
But if it’s true then it shows just how badly fucked the economy is that he’d cut and run rather than risk Darling tell the truth in a budget or the Q1 2010 ‘growth’ figures.
All the pressure is on Brown right now. He won’t get a better opportunity than this. If he bottles it again the Labour Party will never forgive him.
Would a local MP actually know this? (Assuming the radio station is not in Kirkaldy and Cowdenbeath)
I’d be surprised if even Darling knows when the car is booked to go to the Palace.
That said – hurry up with it you cunt, an election tomorrow would be one day too late!
Someone at work said they mentioned it on RadioCity (Liverpool) earlier.
One of the Eagles, Kilfoyle, Ellman??
The answer to that Steve depends entirely on who the ‘local’ mp is and their level of access to the bunker. An announcement is imminent. That much I know.
It’ll be an announcement suspending elections. We are in a national emergency. Blah blah.
Naaaah. It’ll be some comedy announcement just to keep Cameron’s eye off the ball and spite him his Spring get-together.
Cost to Brown – zilch. Cost to Cameron – distraction.
It could easily be a maverick MP trying to force Brown’s hand.
“March 25th” Did they say which year?
The ghastly Coburn on today’s DP said the atmosphere at the Beeb is “febrile” – something is happening.
Someone has been caught actually working?
Rubbish about all bets being off. 7/1 at Betfair on a march Poll.
Meow! Alastair Campbell had me removed from Downing Street. He don’t like rat catchers. Meow!
Gordon Brown had poor Humphrey evicted. He is frightened of cats and dogs and shits himself if one comes near him.
Cats and dogs can smell fear from a mile away.
Dogs and cats can smell fear from a mile away.
That’s a photo op at the RSPCA rescue centre out of the question then.
Didn’t Alistair Darling’s cat Sybil recently pass away in mysterious circumstances probably poisoned by Damien McBride in revenge for Darling refusing to leave the treasury?
Maybe. Or maybe his ‘advisers’ ,Mandelson and Campbell , are telling him this is as good as it gets. Call the election today! You’ve sat on your arse for 22 months waiting for some kind of traction for your wheels spinning uselessly in the mud, and now, for no explicable reason, you have it!
Drive! Drive like the wind to the palace before yet another thumping of a secretary story breaks, or another torture victim is found. Another hospital kills 500 or a mother in social care causes a death. A platoon is killed by a roadside device or another Labour MP is caught stealing from the taxpayers. Do it now and you will win.
Wait until tomorrow and the faint gust that is holding you aloft will be lost…
Beat the moderator.. tough game..
Gordon and Sarah Brown implicated in sick plan to attack Samantha Cameron on the anniversary of her son’s death. Labour. The real Nasty Party
If THIS is Brown’s election campaign, then God help him. And the country.
I recently ran a poll in which I asked if people found Gordan and Sarah Brown offensive? Two people said they didn’t. Would those two people like to change minds, now?
1. It’s in The Sun (need anyone say anymore?)
2. The implication that this is something to do with the death of a child, which you and the rag you quote invoke, is completely wrong.
3. Your mailing is as disengenuous as it false.
4. Does the Conservative Party really need people like you?
5. Relative to number four above, it is little wonder the Conservatives are slipping.
it would be the most caustic thing ever to have a go at Samantha – she is a beautiful, successful woman who clearly loves and supports her husband and spends lots of time with her beautiful children whom she obviously adores – not wasting her time hanging about with celebs, turning up at the opening of envelopes, having to justify her husband’s temprament or twittering nonsense.
I find the best charity work is done when it isn’t advertised.
anon 12.37
Labour have form for this. Last year they were smearing Osborne and his wife and Nadine Dorries in the most appalling ways. They were just starting on the Camerons when the young lad died. This is a matter of public record for which McBride (only one of the smearers) was publicly denounced. He’s back in Brown’s gang now again, of course.
So, on balance, I believe that Brown and co plan to smear the Camerons.
Damian McBride, of Finchley Catholic High School for boys, is up to his old tricks again? Doesn’t his current employer realise the amount of bad press this will bring them next time he gets caught out?
He is a peado Mcbride is, he likes to look at the little catholic boys.
Your point is?
Surely you meant he’s a priest ?
The best parts of Damian Mcbride dribbled down the inside of his mother’s leg when she was raped by a cherry-nosed knucklescraper.
Oh fuck, wrong message…..
The best parts of George Osbo……………
152 = Labour Troll. Attack person with message. Do not address the news they carry.
I’ll bet you loved the Sun when it backed Blair and Brown.
You give lessons in being disengenuous. It’s in your DNA.
Brown is sick!
‘LABOUR provoked fury yesterday by smearing Samantha Cameron on the anniversary of her disabled six-year-old son’s death.
Shadowy spin doctors launched a campaign to blacken the reputation of the Tory leader’s wife and brand her “lazy” because she does not do as much charity work as PM Gordon Brown’s wife Sarah.
The vicious smear left businesswoman Samantha, 38, “very disappointed”, according to a friend. It came as she and husband David mourned the death of son Ivan a year ago yesterday. ……’
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2869326/Labour-spin-doctors-target-Samantha-Cameron.html#ixzz0ge5CZoAC
Sour grapes is it?
Last year you Labour Trolls were happy with The Sun, what has changed I wonder?
The Brown’s are an odious couple. I know it’s only a ‘marriage of convenience’ but those two egotistical, self-obsessed narcissistic creeps deserve each other.
but they do discuss optimised postal voting after sex, if you can call it that, i mean sex
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2869326/Labour-spin-doctors-target-Samantha-Cameron.html#ixzz0ge5CZoAC
agreed – grotty couple.
Luckily, the charade is nearly over for the Brown “family”.
I think he should go before the World cup…we don’t want the England squad doomed by Broon’s good wishes.
If that narcissistic hasbeen Beckham goes to SA then we’re already doomed.
If this charade is still going on by the time of the World cup, then we are in Dictatorship territory!
Am I in the squad?
Not until you take that snide grin off your face!
Not after your shit performance on Wednesday, son – Lucio made you look like Lurkio. You were in Milan, not in Up Pompeii, you twat!
Oh, I don’t know about that.
It wouldn’t suprise me if he’d already done it and the election is actually this coming Tuesday morning. Postal votes are already counted anyway.
Tell no truths, admit nothing, smear everyone, ruin everything.
Let Labour win in a hung Parliament. The whole economic edifice would crumble within 24 hours of the market realising the desperate situation the UK was now in.
A complete imbecile at the head of a Government who will do ANYTHING to retain power, held to ransom by Lib Dems. It’s a recipe for another election in the autumn amid the rubble of economic ruin.
The UK population would then actually realise (well, may be, ‘cos they’re so f’ing thick) really who is to blame for the current UK disaster. The result – no more Labour party.

Come ‘ere you little bastard.
I don’t think the Feast of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin, March 25, is an appropriate date for a General Election, associated as it is with the virtues of humility and self-giving. The following Thursday, All Fools’ Day, would be more apposite.
April 23rd. Shakespeare’s birthday and St George’s Day.
A fine day to be free of the tyranny of imbecile Scottish voters.
Done!

If Max Clifford has managed to silence her, then there will be No more Bully Gord reports in the Sunday Papers.
Bullyboy Brown has destroyed one woman and her anti-bullying charity but there will be plenty more from Rawnsley in this Sunday’s papers.
Elections aren’t the only things that can be brought forward.
Expect something really juicy.
It’s beyond parody isn’t it?
This woman pipes up that she has fielded calls from number 10 complaining of bullying and Number 10 responds by….
.. Having its bullying Quango trash her. Insinuate that because there is some tenuous link to a Tory patron that it is a Tory ‘smear’ operation and then sets the politicised Charities Commissioner on her by return of post. Which must have made a break to their regular routine of of providing an occasional sound-bite of how they’re trashing the private schools charity status for political ends.
Finally she goes (whose big idea was that) to see Max Clifford where all embarrassing stories about Labour go to die.
160 complaints is Suzie Leather going to put them in the public domain.
Or is this Operation Save Gordon’s Face?
Ms. Leather has held over thirty public sector posts in the last fifteen years which has led some right-wing commentators to question her own motivations and the motives of those who appoint her. The Adam Smith Institute accused her of pursuing a “political agenda” on behalf of politicians who lacked the “moral courage” to tackle the issue themselves
Dame Suzi Leather, whose income from taxpayers has shot up in recent years, has an annual salary of almost £80,000 for a three-day week as chairman of the charity watchdog.
She also enjoys travel and accommodation perks from the commission worth £35,000 a year, as well as receiving pay for part-time work on the boards of two other quangos.
In total, the value of her packages is the equivalent of about £200,000 for a five-day week
You can bet those 160 complaints all came from labour. And you can also bet that one of them came from anne ‘no.10 is a lovely place work’ snelgrove mp and another from jackie ‘backstabbing’ smith!!
Labour is a pathocratic organisation that has been taken over by sociopaths, narcissists and other deviants.

I think he has to give 17 working days notice. Monday March 1st is last date for a March 25th election.
“working days” – there are no working days in Britain any more – nothing works,excepts Brown’s curses.

Hellooooooo!!!!
What have they got that I haven`t?
ive lumped on 7/1
will be evens sat morn
Peston has got it seriously wrong in his blog regarding the Lloyds results – when he says that arguably the £6.3bn loss is understated by a £6.1bn credit in respect of HBOS acquisition adjustments. He patently doesn’t understand the accounting – in the combined results the purpose of the £6.1bn credit is to remove the impact of the accounting adjustments made on acquisition – similarly the £11bn gain on acquiring HBOS has been removed.
Given that Peston has used his position to make pronouncements in areas where he clearly doen’t have the necessary competence he really should offer his resignation – but I’m not holding my breath.
I think that history will show that Peston was briefed by/via Number 10 all through this ‘crisis’ with the express purpose of keeping the various banks front and centre while allowing the Maximum Imbecile to manage the news as ‘a failure of capitalism’ and a ‘global banking crisis that started in America’ rather than the rather more obvious ‘explosion in debt caused by reckless borrowing’, ‘failure of FSA’, ‘failure of Brown’s flagship policies’.
Very few people will remember the news release the day the banks were bailed out. But I do. The BBC, from allegedly a standing start, had gone through its archives and dug out heaps of footage from the 1980′s. The whole ‘Big Bang’, women with huge perms and even huger shoulder pads. Pin-striped yuppies with house-brick sized mobile phones.
WTF? You’re telling me the BBC decided to put that angle on the simple facts? The banks have had to be bailed out – but it’s Maggie Thatcher’s fault? WTF?
Thanks for the context guys. No, I won’t be renewing my TV licence. Go and fuck yourselves.
The gutless idiot will bottle it yet again
It is getting very febrile. One thing’s for sure, Snotty has been conspicuous by his absence since Tuesday.
Dave? Dave? Dave? any one seen Dave? is George around?
Dave, their might be an election soon, did you know?
Do you have anything different to say on the EU or immigration other than what Gordon’s already said. Your policies here are the same I see?
Still not sure either whether your going for austerity or further additional spending till 2011 and you’re still not telling us what you are going to cut and by how much? I’m so confused! So want to vote for you, but boy have u muddied the waters!
Any one from CCHQ like to answer?
Are you quite happy to lose votes to UKIP and the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeenpeeeeeeeeeee because of you having the same policies on the EU and immigration as Gordon?
I wonder if I’ll get an answer? so confused……….
Mandy? what are you doing here? Get out now before guido puts a rocket up your butt.
the truth is that whoever gets in the situation will only get worse…….
gordon has used his credit card policies to pull the wool over the sheeps eyes.
with the costs involved in setting up businesses plus new tax increases nobody will want to set up in the uk when they can get the job done in low cost economies…….ie uk wages £60 per day versus india £1 or £2 per day!!!!!!!!!
the oil is running out and we have nothing left to sell……..
as usual in the election people will vote for who promises them the most-
and it will be just a promise as manifestos count for jack shit.(see gordon brown).
meanwhile the uk debt will continue to rise meaning that cuts will have to be MADE……….lok at history……debt cripples people and economies…….gordon gives our money away to third world countries that are shackled by debt-yet pursues the same policies!!!!!!!!!!ffs!!!!!! how effing stupid are the uk public?
look at what is going on in the usa…….obama was going to be the new messiah.anyone seen the debt clock recently? 37million people living on food stamps! housing market still falling! 20% plus real unemployment!
so where will the money come from to support the mirage of gordons sham(bala)?
from you and i of course……..more taxes,savings stolen,pensions stolen etc etc dont believe me? check out what happened in argentina….
GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!
Maguire is twittering about a March election. Surely Brown can’t bottle it now. He will be a laughing stock.
rumour—fawkes hoping to claim he was first blog to call election
throw enough dartd(dates)and claim prize
am i being to critical
You mean,you don’t know if you are being critical or not? mmm nurse,increase the dosage for this patient please.
Can someone enlighten me?
What would happen -constitutionally – if Brown does hold out to the last possible date, but for some reason (Foot and mouth…etc) the election cannot, legitimitely, be held?
Would the privy council assume control until the emergency is over?
The Army, hopefully…
The Google/Labour partnership to spy on us all, has hit another snag. The EU has told them they must notify the residents in advance.
Since we have laws in this country about sensitive personal data, compiled into databases, why does Google not seem to be covered by them.
Sensitive personal data is your voting preference. Or your religion. So how can Google make a street indexed database of front windows with “Vote XXX” stickers or religious artefacts on show. We should have the freedom to state our views, but Google does not have the freedom to compile a indexed database of those views.
The best part is that you have to supply even more personal information to a foreign server, not under UK law, to have the data removed after the event. There is no protection for that data.
Any one know the total IQ contained in the Information Commissioners Office?
Bring it on. For every vote the corrupt elite lose, we gain two. It may not bring any of us into government yet but it will let the electors see that there is an alternative.
Labour are really Pissing Me Off
here i am just waiting for election night to see the fucking hideous sad look on their pathetic faces when they loose their seats
and it now looks like they are going to ruin my party
the lousy bastards !
It appears that “You’re So Vain” was in fact about David Geffen, the very good friend of Peter Mandelson. Geffen was head of Carly Simon’s record label at that time. That explains the coy references to apricot scarves and ‘wife of a good friend’.
Geffen still walks up to yachts and was privileged to have our Lord Mandelson on The Rising Sun in Corfu in August 2009.

Some aliens from planet bad4hoon recently departed but left behind their machine for transporting earthlings instantly to their planet. All that had to be done to work it was put in a picture of the earthling you wished to send and whoosh they were gone, to live out their time in great pain (it’s not a nice place for earth-types). I got hold of the machine, and had a whole stack of mug shots of the labour cabinet both past and present, but unfortunately the machine only had five goes left on it. I was at a loss who to send. The prime mentalist was going, that was non-negotiable, as was the younger millitwat along with the man of straw, but who were the other two to be? so many worthwhile names, so few places. The orange man, vile balls or his motor-mouthed buddy, junior ranking bully brown, the broons very scotish gofor with a shark fin for a hooter, who?. Then I remembered the fat pie man, the working class traitor with two of everything, he had to go, now there was only one place left and I just can’t decide.
Harperson.
Your list is sexist!
Peter invited himself round for dinner on Saturday and I heard him say to Gordon, ” Do you think you can manage an erection?”
Is this what all the fuss is about?
Monday March 1st would be a really good day for an election announcement because it is the release date of “End of the P*rty”.
It also means that Sunday’s revelations will be particularly juicy.
I’ve got my copy on order, do you think I could get Brown to sign it for me?
I do hope Andrew Rawnsley is going to send gordon a signed copy for his own library.
Warning to no.10 staff. Beware of flying books on Monday morning!!
Well gordon isn’t going to make a decision about the election today. He’s in scotland putting the curse on Allied Vehicles in Glasgow and Norband – manufacturers of woden panels in Cowie.
Sarah of course is busy with her high profile, well publicised charity role involving as many celebrities as she can drag in, in order to get as many pics of her as possible in the newspapers. Expect to see more of this as the election gets nearer!
Well who wants to do charity work out of the eye of the media? It’s only worthwhile if it provides a platform for her shameless self-publicity – so that she can keep telling the world – ‘look how good I am’
“…woden panels…
Is this the same company that manufacturers those Wood Orks you were on about the other day?
Pollsters are all part of the Nulav spin cycle. Designed to put the skids under the Tory spring conference and make it look like power isn’t pissing away from Liebour. The Tories will romp it in the election. But that doesn’t suit their scummy media and pollster cronies narrative.
It goes without saying – but : SPOT ON
In the last week I’ve noticed new blatent pro-labour weirdos on some of the internet forums I peruse.
1 posted this question which had no positive answer -
Is Cameron a real Tory
or just a middle of the road public schoolboy with lots of money?
They started the thread and didn’t return to it?
Anybody else seen this amatuer hour bullshit on forums they use?
Yep, there seems to be quite a few paid apparatchiks about right now. Mostly though, they are given short shrift.

Gordon Brown’s statement to the nation next week:
“There is a national emergency of which I cannot reveal the details for national security reasons. But I can assure you the emergency is very real and poses a threat to our country. As a result, and having discussed this with all my cabinet colleagues at length, we’ve decided it is in the best interests of the nation to postpone the general election until or if this emergency is resolved. We believe that to hold an election at this time would cause severe instability and give succor to our enemies. Rest assured, we will hold an election as soon as this emergency is brought to a safe and satisfactory conclusion. Until then, I hope the entire British public will unite and give the government their full support in these difficult and trying times. Thank you and goodnight. And I haven’t bottled anything.”
Off-topic but VERY funny…
Just had a bet at 11/2 that Labour will win the most seats at the GE.
If I’m right I’ll make a few pounds and drown my sorrows.
If I’m wrong the sheer, unadulterated joy will be more than enough to make up for the lost money.
Win-win, I call it
March 25 looks very real as badger has grown some balls so here it is Gordoom wants to stay as long as poss ie June BUT he is livid with badger and so wants revenge ergo no budget to rub Gordoom`s nose in it so don`t give him the chance so March 25 it is,but then again the FUCKWIT couldn`t make a decision if his life depended on it
