Carter Airbushes Bunker Time from CV

Stephen Carter, who was reduced to tears by Gordon’s bullying before being bought off with a peerage for his silence, has landed new job. Though it seems the new head of comms for tech giants Alcatel-Lucent has airbrushed out his time in the bunker from his CV.  Perhaps he doesn’t want to be professionally associated with Gordon’s regime. Hardly surprising given how Rawnsley (on page 546 of The End of the Party) described Carter’s treatment by McBride and Gordon:

“He was undermined from the start by the old Brown clique. He bumped into Damian McBride, who saw him as a threat,” says another of Brown’s aides. “It was a turf thing.  Stephen was a really nice bloke,” comments one civil servant. “He just didn’t know what he was letting himself in for. They made a decision to f**k this guy. By April, it was transparent to everyone in the building that this guy was dead.”"

There is a sense of satisfaction that Carter is now earning hundreds of thousands, while McBride is picking up litter in a playground.

    Carter also airbrushed his tenure at CableTel which went bust, he didn’t. He quickly surfaced at NTL

    Perhaps ultimately, there is some justice.

    Good luck to Carter, but what on earth possessed him to seek work in the bunker in the first place?

    Is that Gordon’s clunking fist punching Carter on the chin?

    Has McBride passed a full police check?
    We know he is fascinated by bizarre and depraved sexual acts involving dildos, and the aquisition of sexually transmitted diseases, so I think it is vital this question be answered for the sake of the children.

    I will raise this deeply concernin issue with me MP, Nick Brown…..

    ‘Ben Verwaayen, CEO of Alcatel-Lucent, said “a vital next step for our company is to transform our marketing and bring the Alcatel-Lucent strategy to life for our customers and for the market. I am delighted to welcome Stephen to the Executive Team, and know he will bring the leadership needed in these key areas”.’ What garbage these people get their assistants to write for them. Does anyone remember the old World War One song ‘One staff officer jumps over another staff officer’s back…. They were only playing leapfrog’? Nothing ever changes, does it?

      I hadn’t anyone else recite that song for about 30 years. You are obviously due an award of sorts. And while we are at it why dont more people use officers swagger sticks. they’re so useful for pointing at things. suprised Brown doesn’t use them to poke people with!!

    Top marks for this chap; clearly the training course (as pointed out yesterday) had this spot on:

    “2. Know how to write a CV and covering letter that has the X factor. Apologies for this error, the correct version is “NOT GOT the X factor”; the X factor being any mention of previously working for the Labour Party (as per your course notes).”

    Arf, arf!

    Ah, there are plenty more McBrides and mini-McBrides within the Brown regime; plenty more bullyboys with small penises and enormous egos. *

    * To call it ‘the Brown administration’ or ‘the Brown government’ would be to imply that Brown and his claque are actually a functioning, competent government rather than the dysfunctional panic station that it is.

    I suppose it’s the going tariff…abuse from McDoom for three months, then fired with a peerage to keep quiet!

    Are you sure McBride is picking up garbage in the playground?
    The Broon Brownshirt regime likes its incompetent bully boys, so surely it would have found a secure bolthole for him?

    Maybe, but i’d be pretty worried if I was a mum whose kid used said playground!! And anyone who has chosen to work for Brown deserves to be treated like one of the nastier things to be picked up in said playground!

      McBride is being wined and dined by the wonderful Sarah Brown aka Magda Goebbals. I’m sure the smearer in chief is being well looked after by his friends in No 10.

    Harriet Harman, what a fucking joke she is. I’ve never seen anyone, even Brown, perform so apallingly at PMQs.

      Dreaming of the Summer in Gypsy Cove amongst the Penguins says:

      Not entirely she was forced into giving an assurance on behalf of the UK Government in answer to a rather rambling Gerald Kauffman question that the UK government unequivocably states that the desire of the Falkland Islanders to self-determination is paramount and that the islands WILL be defended.

      So that’s them safe until after the election then

    Alcatel Lucent: great textbook example of a merger of two me-too companies making a poor also-ran.

    Upside: a lot of airbrushing required!

    Pleasing to see that this guy has done well. You can’t keep a good man down.

    As for Brown, McBride et al, I leave my humble curse: May your shit spring to life and kiss you!

    Brown would have only had to throw something at me once, before endangering his other eye.

    No need to be personal, Guido

    I thought airbushing was what they did – in gentler times – when a racy photo was just a little bit *too* racy.

    Please leave the fragrant Sarah Brown out of this…she is objective & speaks from the heart, everyone knows that her husband is a kind, considerate & charming man!

    McBride is doing some light consultancy. He’s not picking up leaves – or anything else for that matter, including chlamydia etc.

    He’s moved on from that a long time ago and is worth a little scrutiny – again.
