Bingo Bingle
Peter Bingle has a point doesn’t he? Guido, like Bingle, talks to CCHQ insiders, spin-merchants, activists, media allies and wonks every day – almost all are agreed. It has been shambolic since January and the Tories are on the back foot.
Examining Bingle’s critique point-by-point:
Ashcroft was an entirely foreseeable problem, Tory high command hoped that because they had squared the Electoral Commission they had buried the problem. A strategic miscalculation based on wishful thinking. It completely undermines the “Cameron cleaning up politics” message of financial transparency. Told you so.
“Nobody knows what the Tory Party stands for any more.” Change is not an ideology, it is a process. Repeating the word over and over again is not a substitute for communicating thought out policies. Splitting the difference on policy, a.k.a. Finkism, might not scare off voters but nor does it get the vote out. Being 5% to the right of Blair with a dash of euroscepticism will not inspire people much. Voters want change for the better. Shadow ministers offering only a change of management and almost no change in policy won’t get the voters on their feet cheering.
Bingle says the advertising has hurt the Tories. In truth the advertising campaign posters have been mixed. Adverts need to address voter concerns simply and memorably. Labour might be right – in the digital age do paper posters even work that well?
“What is the strategy?” Steve Hilton better communicate it to the rank and file in a way that inspires confidence. There is striking irony in his top down diktats about localism, decentralisation, transparency and the importance of feedback in a post-bureaucratic age. Mandelson fights for his strategy from the front, Hilton sends memos from the back room.
Something Bingle didn’t focus on is policy development. We are weeks from the election and the Tories have still not formulated the policies they are going to fight on. No, really. Even when they do announce a policy it frequently unravels.
Guido will give you an example of a policy announcement that is going to unravel. We are told there will be a pro-business cut in the corporate tax rate, signalling that the Tories want to reduce the tax burden. We haven’t been given the exact details, just the gist of the policy.
Except, according to Mark Hoban, they will claw back the tax reduction by changing the treatment of various tax allowances such that the overall change will be revenue neutral. The effective rate of tax on corporations will be unchanged. It is change for the sake of a headline, a financial sleight of hand typical of Gordon Brown. Most businesses would rather not suffer the administrative upheaval if they are not going to get any revenue benefit. It is pure Finkism, signal an aspiration and promise to maintain the fiscal status quo.
Finkism is a product of fear. Fear of losing again. The Cameroons hoped that power would slip into their hands, they fear that if they do anything radical or bold they will lose. There is the alternative possibility that if they don’t clearly communicate a message of “change for the better”, not just a change of personnel, they will fail to make a compelling case. In only one area are they offering a radical change – education – with the result that the government is moving towards them policy-wise. If the Tories offered a bold change from high tax, high spending policies the government would not be able to match them, voters would have a real choice. Fink claims that voters don’t believe politicians promising tax cuts. That is not a failure of the policy, it is a failure of politicians to communicate credibly.
Bingle may or may not have legitimate concerns but he should have ensured that they did not become public.
He has handed a propaganda coup to Liebour and damaged Tory election prospects.
The man would appear to me to be a foolish and arrogant arse who likes the sound of his own voice.
Does pretending make things better? Addressing the reality of the situation is the first step to progress.
There is such a thing as timing!
You need copper bottomed Policies that stand up to rigorous examination and rampant voter cynicism. Instead all we get is Policy ‘flavours’.
Soundbites butter no parsnips as Major memorably put it and in an election unquestionably tainted by the ‘they are all as bad as each other’ factor of expenses, ‘aspirations’ won’t cut it.
Labour are in the same boat but they profit from an electorate who decides that they are as bad as each other as the polls show.
Since anyone can and does correctly call Brown rubbish, not just in politics but on the street, you can’t base an entire election strategy telling the voter something they all know while providing no proof that you are any better but continue week after week with the ping-pong of attack politics between each other that re-inforces voter turn off.
If the voter believed any of the big Parties were honest and truthful then they would command a comfortable lead and not have to worry about ‘micro-managing message missives from the grid’.
Time is running out.
We’re all cutting corporation tax together.
This is because we believe in simple, flat, low taxes with no exemptions rather than high, tiered taxes with lots of exemptions.
“The effective rate of tax on corporations will be unchanged.”
It’s almost unbelievable that arguably the most hated PM and government we’ve ever had is so close to winning another term.
Conservative High Command need bloody shooting.
People are desperate for real change, and know that some of them may be painful.
The Conservatives should tell people straight that the country’s in deep shit thanks to Labour, the cash has run out, the debts have to be cut and there absolutely need to be spending cuts.
Give us real choice on crime, the EU, rolling back oppressive state interference, education, and the economy and they’ll get the votes.
As long as they mean it.
Reg, stop talking down the country, it’s disgraceful.
Well, that’s the Labour riposte – tell me, how do you counter it??
“We’re not talking down the country – we’re talking down New Labour and Brown. The country is fine. The people are great. It’s just that they’ve had a crap and deceitful government.”
Timing? … Conservatives have been crap for years just to keep brown in place so that when brown decides on the timing of the election that they’ll have a better chance.
They’ve let us down miserably.
A bold conservative party would have ousted brown and forced an election, but no, we get lumbered with labour just because they’re scaredy cats.
But then I’m hardly going to vote labour just because conservatives have been pathetic, so I’m a safe tory vote and so not catered for in policy.

That’s rich OH, from someone who has made a fortune out of wind turbine technology.
Don’t forget the basic bone-idelness of some of the Conservative Party these days.
In Walthamstow we have a candidate, Andy Hemsted, who has not even bothered to put a profile of himself on any conservative websites, does not run one for himself, and, not living here is NEVER seen in the constituency he aspires to represent. I suppose he thinks it will all come good in the end. It won’t. The lazy fellow deserves to lose his deposit.
I sometimes wonder if the Cameroons want B-Ruin to win the election so that he will have to clean up with his own mess.
I must agree that pretending does not fill in the big gaps caused by having no policies.
If we were to have a coherent series of Conservative policies, they could all be hung around a slogan like “Set the People Free”: and then free us from penal taxation, intrusive video cameras, yobs, etc., etc., but then they would be Conservative, as opposed to Cameroon, policies.
Nail head Guido. I joined the party as an activist and self confessed Cameroon or as I liked to call myself a post Thatcher One Nationer – yes I believe in helping the poor help themselves (as opposed to the sociali st dependency model which infantilises people) and I believe in rolling back the state, localism and freedom of information – it makes sense.
You know I even went with the lets not be too bold on the economy argument in 2007, yes work needed doing but it wasn’t the major battleground it was in the 1980s. Then 2008 happened and the unpalatable opinions people like John Redwood had been spouting turned out to be truths.
The Fink is right we are still a damaged goods from the ousting of Thatcher and 1997 and another loss would damage us badly. In a way Cameron is a victim of his early success and its left him and the change in the political climate has paralysed him and his front bench as they struggle to understand why the button they pushed in 2007 don’t work anymore.
All very true I’m sure, and makes the case for voting tory weaker.
However, I cannot see why anyone would vote for more labour after all the shit they have given us…
As Einstein said ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’
Perhaps this applies to the tory approach too!
I don’t think the issue is that people actually want to vote labour because I am fairly sure many don’t. But equally, it is very obvious that they don’t want to vote Conservative either. Cameron is poor and the people he surrounds himself with are weak too. All this reflects badly on the man. The fact that he had MaKay as an advisor is very tellling, I think, and his expounding of transparency has proven completely hollow. And don’t even get me started about Osborne.
Labour have been dreadful. That the Conservatives may not actually be able to oust them is appalling.
I suspect there will be many more buttons and leavers that won’t work as we progress over the next Parliament.
Trouble is the Tories look like they thought they could turn up and win…there is no strategy!!
Personally I think they should take a large chunk of Mr Ashcroft’s money and pay Bingle and Guido (sorry if that sounds like a pair of solicitors) to come up with and implement a strategy.
In fact, I think MOST people could come up with a better strategy than they have at the moment!!
Maybe they should get David Starkey in!!
ST
You may be right.
With proper tactics, policies and a consistent credible campaign both in Parliament and in the media I believe Brown could’ve been ousted by now.
Playing like Blairv2.0 is weak, pathetic and not hopeful for the future.
Most politicians are fucking wankers by definition, we just hoped that somebody would come along with a couple of brain cells. didn’t happen; we are in the shit. OMG.
Beating Brown should not be rocket science, so why the fuck do we employ American spin doctors.
The first step to progress Guido is ridding the country of Brown and his marxist chums.
The end will justify the means; this country is on the brink of financial collapse.
Freeing the country from Brown and his chumps is only one of many steps needed to save the country. Judging by the state of the opinion polls, it looks like the public aren’t even prepared to take step 1, so expect economic catastrophe in 2010. All the warnings to acquire gold, guns and ammo in the wake of the Lehman collapse were simply premature, the real tragedy only starts when the Tories lose the next election.
Better to get a bullet proof jacket first.

Absolutely on the button!
No Ophelia, no.
A thousand times no.
The means will determine the end.

Ophelia! If you had only accepted my proposal of marriage, you would not now have such an embarrassing surname.

Agree here. Although not a Tory can see and there’s plenty of evidence of ‘negative’ opposition and campaigning out of fear of losing. Continuation of such a policy will result in failure. I reckon the British public in the main are not stupid. Having had years of abuse from a government of no talent I think there would be a welcoming of some honesty, some courage and some practical and sensible suggestions to solve the country’s problems. The more Cameron bumbles along the bottom of the fish bowl the more the sharks will eat all the food!
Guido: Your article has made up my mind. I’m going stop wasting time on blogs and start looking for somewhere else to live, Canada/Australia don’t care. I’ll vote Conservative before I leave.
I’m right with you there! The majority of the UK may hate Europe but I suspect it’s more to do with suppressed jealousy. The French, Germans etc. live in well run beautiful countries with strong senses of society and culture. We on the other hand live on Pudding Island with a bunch of ship-wrecked sub-Saharan Africans who used to think “Labour” meant physical work until Gordon paid them to sit on their arses in sink estates and vote for him. Everything is pretty much as sh*t as Brown could possibly have made it but more worryingly, a large percentage of the population actually seem to like it and want more of it! Those dastardly Europeans must laugh themselves sick when they see us toiling round our plague-ridden island sh*thole. I’m off to join them! No more tax for Gordon, no more Labour for me. This country can sink under a big scum-slick on the surface of the Atlantic for all I care.
Pudding Island. Super.
Couldn’t agree more.
Makes you weep when you look at the state of this place.
It’s the right thing to do.
Its the right thing to do.
Quite right Guido, the Tories do not understand that government will not fall onto their laps like an inherited peerage. Cameron/Osborne are under an illusion that people like them or that they are perceived as having the skills to govern well. Both are untested and by the looks of the current Tory leadership fiasco re Ashcroft have a long ways to go. Sure Brown Labour are a bunch of incontinent monkeys bur the Tories are the same except wearing top hats. It’s going to be either a hung Parliament of a small Lab majority.
The only problem is it has been so long since we’ve had any reality, we’ve forgotten what it is and how to handle it.
If Gordon Brown gets back in I’m moving to Switzerland, and I won’t be coming back except in a box.
If it looks like Gordon B rown is going to get back in, Dignitas shares are a BUY.
I suspect I’ll either follow – or take up gardening:

The behaviour of some Tory-run Councils leaves me with the impression that they want the Conservatives to lose the next election.
Two examples where local party policy seems to be at variance with “Modern Conservatism”:-
I understand that if elected the Conservatives will veto the proposed expansion to Heathrow, yet my own Council, North Somerset have approved the expansion of Bristol Airport.
The concerns of the opponents of both expansions are broadly similar, yet we are treated by a smarmy Conservative representative on Local TV, pooh-poohing the valid concerns of opponent to said expansion as if they were the opinions of a bunch of morons. I thought that I must be seeing (and hearing things) as the Conservative Council representative sounded just like those New Labour mouthpieces that I’ve come to know and hate.
And I voted for them…..
The “New Green Conservative Party” has been noticeable in it’s absence in the behaviour of Weymouth Council in approving a Bio-fuel fed Power Generating plant that will run on Palm Oil grown on land that has been cleared from the Rain-Forests. Again we are treated to another “New Labour Lookalike” Modern Conservative on TV telling everyone ” Move along now, nothing to see, all concerns will be addressed, we know whats best for you”.
From what I can see there are two versions of Conservative Policy, one which is promulgated by Central Office and another which applies to the point at which Conservative Policy most directly affects the voter, that at Local Council Level. And they bear no resemblance to each other whatsoever.
That this situation exists so close to an election smacks of either suicidal tendencies on the part of the Conservative Party or of a wrecking policy in the Shires aimed at Central Office.
I am looking for an alternative to New Labour’s leadership and it’s smarmy “I know what’s best for you” mouthpieces. But what I am seeing, at least from the local perspective, is not a “Blair Mk2″ leadership but rather a “Kinnock Mk2″ leadership and a continuation of “New Labour Mk2″ attitudes to local opinion in the Council offices.
I have voted Conservative at every opportunity locally and nationally as a means of keeping the Lib-Dems out, I have experience of “Liberal Democracy” in action, here in North Somerset and in the London Borough Of Richmond upon Thames, I will never vote for them and their two-faced corrupt politicians.
But the bi-polar nature of Conservative Policy is leaving me wondering just who to vote for, whether to vote strategically against the Lib-Dems as I always have done or whether to give up altogether, but since a vote for any other party than the Torys is effectively a vote for the Lib-Dems…………..
Oh I don’t know……….perhaps the old adage is true:
“Don’t vote because no matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.”
Maybe they’re ALL a bunch of C@#&s
There is so much ignorant dross here. Bingle is fucking on the money, anyone who wants to see the Tories elected needs the wake-up call. THIS WILL NOT BE AUTOMATIC. In many ways the Lab machine is a lot smarter – Cam needs to WISE UP. ‘Change’ is a crap slogan – NOBODY LIKES IT – unless it’s a CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. Convince us. And explain why you stood by and said NOTHING while the loony psychos in cahoots with the banksters fucked us all over.
The best article on a political blog site I have read in a long time.
A certainty that Gordon Brown will quote from it,I will make sure of that
Everything Brown says is a lie – and everyone knows that. He is a national joke!
Spot on!
Psychologically flawed and a congenital power crazed liar with zero understanding of the concept of public service and the public knows it.
Brown will be destroyed and humiliated Bingle or no Bingle. Bingle is an arse.
I am sure there are plenty of bombshell McDoom stories just waiting to explode in his face as the election looms. Timing is everything and Brown’s time is up.
Since the public knows it it’s fairly pointless parroting it when it’s not producing the results in the polls.
Polyannaism is not a strategy.
The voters still need a reason to vote for a Party as they hold all politicians in comtempt now.
From the responses by senior figures in the Armed forces to Brown’s dissembling yesterday:
‘disingenuous’
‘hyperbole’
‘simply not true’
‘nonsense’
‘poetic license’
When those upon whom we rely for the defence of our country call the Prime Minister a liar, how on earth can anyone ever consider voting for him or his corrupt, venal and frankly un-British party?
Guthrie himself states that while he was Chief of Defence Staff, Brown only came to the MoD once – to talk about Rosyth dockyard (a matter of importance to Brown, no doubt, as it employs his constituents).
Cameron simply can not be allowed to piss this election away through timidity and poorly calculated expediency – I’d like to think that as Britons we deserve better, and even if we are not deserving we are at the very least needful of an alternative to the bastards that have sold our future for their immediate gratification.
I’ll be reluctantly voting for Gerald Howarth at the GE – I wish I believed that his party would make a real difference, but the current performance of Cameron gives me little hope.
‘how on earth can anyone consider voting for him’
Here in the north east, the public sector employs over 50% of the workforce. Then there’s the number of people on benefits – in the town of Easington on the Durham coast, 80% of adults claims one form of benefit or another – I shit you not.
So many Labour votes are bought and paid for in this region that Labour always wins by a landslide. The people voting for them couldn’t give a shit about how dishonest or useless Brown is – they vote to keep the benefits and the cushy non-jobs coming.
….meant to add…..
Many will be in for a shock though. One of our local councils is facing such cutbacks in government funding next financial year, they have to shed 1500 jobs. Thats just one council and there are over 450 in the UK.
Groucho’s right, unfortunately…
Disingenuous means lying.
In addition Groucho no-one seems to be telling LA workers about the £53 billion black hole in their pension schemes…

A certainty that Gordon Brown will quote from it.
If that eanshe’s reading this – Gordon. You are an arsehead.
The radical changes shoud be our relationship with the EU, the tax system, corruption in politics and downsizing big government.
hear hear.
We need to get out of the EU before our UN security council seat is given away, replaced by the EU, and the US and the EU do a deal with Argentina in the UN to take away the Falklands and give all that oil away.
Cameron has binned a guaranteed landslide victory because he is wedded to exactly the same big-picture, anti-British agenda as labour.
If the yanks are not prepared to back Britain on the Falklands, we need to be saying to them ‘ Sorry, we will have to leave you to sort Afghanistan out on your own as we need all our troops and equipment to protect our own territory ie The Falklands where at least the local residents welcome our presence.
Correct!
And the Americans will merely say any or all of
“Your stated military purpose in Afghanistan is to prevent terrorism on British streets. If you pull out then the CIA (which apparently devotes 40% of its total operations to combating islamic extremism in the UK) will pull out and quarantine the UK as a terrorist nation. We will actively undermine London’s remaining status as an international financial centre. We will abandon you to your fate.”
They’ve pulled the plug on numerous ex-client states before. Why are we any different? (And don’t think that we’ll retain a nuclear deterrent for long after we fall out of favour with the US. They own our warhead designs).
Do you seriously believe Brown and Labour scum could run a Falklands campaign ?
With what ?
Their natural inclination is to abandon those people except now there is the possibility of tax revenues from any oil discoveries, that’s the only reason his eye lights up.
Agreed and with Obama you cannot tell which way the wind is blowing. He seems very reluctant to show support for UK interests.
even better dont renew the lease on their bases in the uk and give them six months to get out.
“Bingle may or may not have legitimate concerns but he should have ensured that they did not become public.”
The problem that Bingle Tingle identifies is that Dave does not listen. The Notting Hill coterie believe that they are right with a messianic zeal. Conservative activists have been telling CCHQ for months that Dave’s presidential campaign has only a limited shelf life and that the policy documents are thin and limited. Whenever people ask us what will be different we cannot tell them because there isn’t anything.
It is so depressing.
So True. The only reason you can give them to vote Conservative is Gordon Brown.
So true, but that’s a VERY good reason.
Ah ah ah ah ah, i know this much is true oo. Ah yes, those were the days… spandue & thatcher… what a combo!!!
There could never be a better reason than that!
Gordon Brown is a good reason not to vote Labour, but no reason to vote Conservative.
You just don’t get it, do you?
Moaning about Brown, as David Cameron keeps doing, as the best reason to vote Tory is simply not working.
People must be offered reasons to vote Tory, not reasons to not vote for Brown, they are two completely different things you moron.
You may think that it is the same thing because you are not an intellegent political anaylist but undecided voters do not and that fact is borne out by the polls.
Face facts and come up with policies or lose the general election.
That is the choice and all your bullshit does not hide that reality.
@2:46
If you’re going to fly off the handle and accuse a complete stranger of being a moron, it helps your case considerably if you spell “intelligent” correctly.
Undecided Voter = Peter “Mc Doom supporter” Pringle
Or even “Bingle”
Lara Bingle where the bloody hell are you?
In fairness, I think that is a pretty fair critique to be honest. Regardless of how much disarray the tories are in, I would still prefer them to Brown.
I’d prefer a pigs head on a stick to Brown to be honest, but there you go. New Labia dont deserve another single day let alone another term. If those bastards get back in, we’re all even more royally fucked than what we already are.
No, you couldn’t be more wrong. It is exactly this New Labour “nothing matters except control freak news management” attitude that is fucking the Tories. Cameron and his vacuous clique are alienating the membership and the core vote without there being any consequent gain elsewhere. There is, just, ebough time to save the election IF the Notting Hillites finally manage to connect with the real world and accept that to win the Conservatives need policies, principles and a decent amount of clear blue water between them and Labour. To carry on the way they are is to guarantee a hung parliament. Mind you the upside to that is that it will at least kill off Cameroonism and therefore Blairism, which is what Cameroonism actually is, once and for all.
Whether that is a prize worth another 5 years of Labour government is of course another question entirely.
Well done Bingle. He could be the very reason that the Tories win. So pleased he did this. All up from here.
The turning point was Lisbon. Until Cameron declared he would try to repatriate powers, he was playing along nicely as ‘I’m the next Blair’ getting easy cooperation from the media in allowing a Conservative government in name.
As soon as he declared his new strategy, first Heseltine and then Clarke declared that a Hung Parliament was the likely election result. From there the notion was spread through polling and media to become the narrative.
This was replaced by the Labour Victory Narrative, in which the gap will be 0% by polling day. There is no way those who hold power in Britain will permit a Cameron victory.
The tragedy for Cameron is that he is not believed by his own side who saw his Lisbon attack as a sell-out. It was that moment that the ‘system’ decided to dump Cameron, and he’s been floundering ever since.
True, the only hope of winning those who went to UKIP back is if they are spooked by the prospect of a Labour victory
I’m a natural Tory – *always* voted for them in the past 40 years. Now, well I’m not sure. As has been said before, no one knows what the Tory party stands for anymore. The Cameroons are a bunch of kids, who should go back to parties, girls and white white while boating on the Thames. They are fuckin useless for anything else. What has happened to Britain in the last 10 years is truely awful, yet where is the man (or woman) who would save the country now? I don’t know.
I’m not a great lover of Cameron, but seeing this great rush to rubbish him on the back of a non story, I am inclined to vote for him.
So you believe in worker’s co-ops? Let the trolley pushers in a hospital run the place? Dave does. You believe that the NUT beardy geography teachers should take over schools and decide what the lessons should be? Dave does.
Nothing wrong with Workers Co-ops…
Just need to have customer choice so that the customers interests are aligned with the workers.
That means no direct state funding to co-ops.
If rolling back the state, cutting the political class down to size and saving the country from its death spiral results/requires a plethora of Co-Ops, I’m OK with that.
Cameron’s ok!
Fighting in Afghanistan that’s where.
I would vote labour, only if there was a total clearout of the Brown clique, including the three times discraced Peter Mandleson. Of all the corrupt actions Tony Blair is guilty of, leaving us to the mercy of these people is by far the most unforgivable.
“I would vote labour”
Why? Why vote for any of them? Cameron and Osborne are the same as Blair, so why vote for any of them? Remember the cast-iron guarantee? None of them are worth a trip down to the polling station.
If Labour gets in again it’s curtains for the UK. There simply won’t be much left of the country in five years’ time.
The only choice we have is to vote tactically to remove Labour. That Cameron isn’t perfect doesn’t matter, there is a world of difference between what he would do as PM and the utter destruction that another 5 years of Labour would bring. Some moan that “they’re all as bad as each other”, or “they’re all the same”. That’s lazy, ill-considered rubbish. We all know that Brown is much, much worse than any of the alternatives we will face at the next election. Imagine what Labour will do with another 5 years, they’re ideologically bankrupt already, and what few policies they have either been stolen from others or are truly terrible. What Brown, Mandelson et al are presently advocating would bring the whole economy crashing down and the country to its knees.
I don’t think people realise just how dangerous this election is. Labour must be removed at all costs. We have to stand up and fight them in each and every constituency, in newspaper letters columns, on internet forums and on blogs. Get out there and attack them, people! Let’s expose Labour for what we know them to be – a dangerous, unelectable, divided rabble who will bring the UK to the brink of destruction. Labour are 8 points ahead in the latest poll – let’s make that 18 by the next election.
Oops, my apologies. That should be “Labour are 8 points behind”.
What a choice! This is concensus politics gone mad. Cameron, Brown, Clegg, are all much the same. The Tory Party has been taken over by pompous twits without a Tory view in their silly little heads, and they are busy installing all their politically correct shallow cronies as parliamentary candidates. What hope for the future – none with the Tories.
The fat psycho gordon as PM and the manic spending edballs as Chancellor.
Of course, edballs would then, promptly, make his shrill wife, Home or Foreign Secretary!!.
What a laughing stock government we would then be to the rest of the world?!!!
Under NuLabour V 2.00 we would become a marxists outpost of the EU, with Komrade Broon swanning about like some old soviet commie, with his union chums all living the high life while the plebs queue in the shops for bread. But hey, things are looking good…tractor production is up!
We already are does anybody believe Milli-no-bottle-band is respected anywhere in the world
if you watch balls when hes ‘telling ‘em’ he blinks his eyes double time…he is such a slimey little twat.
a 5% lead is still a disgrace.
The Tory lead is 9%. This would give them a 50 to 60 seat overall majority. Not 9 seats short as that Labour shill Peter Spencer claimed on Sky.
We are negative eight points in front you mean
I also consider myself a natural Tory, hard working, family, small business, home owner and all that. Have always voted Tory and in the past have also been a part member and activist in the past.
This time round they are unlikely to get my vote. I no longer see that the Conservative Party represents me or my aspirations, in fact it is difficult to see what it does stand for anymore apart from whatever is convenient at time and/or what the latest focus groups says.
Dave is a PR man pure and simple, no obvious signs of principles or beliefs other than getting elected. Osborne is just a pratt. The bad calls on economic policy are unforgivable.
What we need is Thatcher 2 and not Blair 2 which is what Cameron represents. People are sick of these designer politicians.
I reckon we should all vote for independent candidates and let the main parties know what we think of them.
What we DON’T need is Brown Mk1.
Wise up!!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8553105.stm
As predicted by some posters, the Army is not happy with Brown’s account at Chilcott.
Not to worry he is out in Afghanistan at the moment. Just been on BBC strutting around and making announcements about how much he is going to spend, latest equipment, training etc…blah blah blah.
Where are the fucking R*g Heads when you want them.
I should think that all the families who lost their loved ones in iraq will be outraged he’s replacing snatch landrovers. He can come up with money when it suits him. Anyway, who is in charge of the money, alistair or gordon?
Shoot the bastard.
There were quite a few on the Labour Party broadcast last night led by Dimbleby attacking Ashcroft.
The BBC had the cheek to call the programme Questiontime FFS.
Lord Adonis said ”defense spending had increased by 10% over the past 10 years” on that programme, even with the adjusted inflation figures that still equates to a 15% cut in real terms.
Sky reporter said Brown was putting his money where his mouth is and promising more funds for the troops. Excuse me but, it’s not HIS fooking money!
He’s been telling porkies again, for all the world to see! What a silly man.
He publicly blamed the Americans also.
There goes the special relationship…………………….there go the Falklands!
Dave loves Argentinian wine in his favourite Notting Hill restaurante, doncha know?
Don’t forget…. there goes Gibraltar !
“He admitted it was a sizeable sum of money which had “made my life more difficult” as chancellor. ”
What an utter, utter CNUT. So he turns round and says money was made available – which the MOD are saying ain’t quite right – and then moans that it made HIS life more difficult. Words fail me.
What about the men and women who have died fighting Labour’s vainglorious war for them ? How many are still at risk because of underfunding ? Why are they even there ?
Cam needs to start shouting a bit more, every other day there is another Nu lab cock up , no end to the war in Afghanistan, the huge debt we are in , rising unemployment etc lets no forget who has been in power for the last 13 years. Who cares a toss how much money Ashcroft has donated when the biggest fiddlers of expenses are predominately Nu Lab.
You’re right Cameron has to start behaving like a man, and not like a smarmy well educated nice looking boy. Roll out Samantha too, a pleasant anti dote to Sarah the plump, wet, badly dressed dishcloth!
Did you see Shaz’s calve muscles at the baftas when she gave her toyboy, the time lord ,his award. however I’ve heard she is very sturdy in the wind. Someone posted some ‘Hague’ speeches yesterday and it made me think a bit about what could have been. Cam needs to get stuck in and make a noise, its not rocket science with Nu Lab’s continued trail of destruction.
Samantha ?
Blairite ?
Boldness doesn’t seem to be Finks forte.
Finkelstein isn’t a Tory. Don’t trust him an inch.
Too right, he’s a Cameroon.
Yup, Fink’s an SDP entryist who still thinks he’s fighting 1997. The Tory party is now infested with these Labour lite, Lib Dem supporters. Following this election they need to be culled – with extreme prejudice!
Cull the Tribalist McScotchland first.
A vote for the Lib Dems is a vote for five more years of Brown. This is from Peter Oborne in today’s Daily Mail:
“Secret talks have begun between key figures in the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties with a view to forming an alliance in the increasingly likely event of a hung parliament.
Although neither Gordon Brown nor the LibDem leader Nick Clegg have been present at any of the meetings, I am informed that the two men know exactly what is going on.
Both parties are on record as saying there would be no post-election coalition………..”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1255900/PETER-OBORNE-The-plot-stop-Tories-EVER-gaining-power-.html#ixzz0hOdjML2D
If Lib Dems fall for this then they are still as stupid as Paddy Ashdown who fell for Blair’s con-trick back in 97.
We don’t call ‘em Lib-Dum for nothing.
Ac1 you hate Brown Labour yet voting Tory is obviously not voting for real change.Cameron/Osborne are planly not up to the job. Sp what would you suggest voters do? I live in a constituncy which needs a 20% plus swing away form Labour to change things. In second place last time were the Lib Dems who at least have worked the constiuency and have an effective local councillor as a candidate. The Cons have never been near place. Of course Im going to vote Lib Dem, it’s either that or not vote at all. Tories assume a right to govern, yet they have a party who relies on Ashcrofts millions to deliver leaflets for them in marginals, no local organization to speak of and zn average membership age of 67. If……if they fail to win the next election with a clear working majority the will implode. Voters are taking a second look at Cameron/Osborne and seeing very little to attract them which is of real substance
UKIP. Someone who will make some fucking noise and get in amongst those Nu Labia bastards rather than this bunch of pussies giving them an easy ride.
500 candidates at the GE? If they can turn any of those into real seats, there might just be some hope.
Chances are though, it’ll end up splitting the tory vote, letting Nu Labia back in through the back door.
And if that happens there is only one thing to do.
Get out.
Emigrate.
Because the shit will hit the fan in ways we havent seen in many decades if those Huhnes get back in.
Bill, too late sunshine.
‘Cos, whoever gets in, ‘the shit will hit the fan in ways we havent seen in many decades….’ These ‘Huhnes’ have left no other choice.
PIP
I suggest you Campaign for ABGB where you can make a difference.
“There will be no post election coalition”
Orwellian doublespeak meaning that there is absolutely guaranteed to be one.
Liberals have always been Anti-British, self hating fuckwits. They are the natural allies of labour in that regard.
So Dave’s lovebombing the LibDem’s not bee successful, then ? Didn’t he says “we are all liberal”?
Unfortunately the word ‘liberal’ has been misused so many times in recent years, no one has a fucking clue what you are talking about when you throw it in the mix, so why bother?
Liberal = Gay
I was referring to the neo-liberal Marxist Lib-Dems.
Yeah, I know Mr Ned – I’m not accusing you of being disingenuous when using it. I’m with Michael Savage on this one – the word has been deliberatley warped by closet marxists and their socialist cousins to befuddle the public. it really is time is was reclaimed. Also see the word ‘progressive’, but that’s another post.
@ Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head (1967),
Spot on!
Wouldn’t dream of voting Lib Dem! They pretend to be ever so nice, ever so kindly and laid back, ever so green and ‘sandly’, when in fact, they are ravenously ambitious, and just as cut throat and ruthless as Newlab.
First thing the new LibDem Council did in the 80s was close all the local authority old people’s homes and kick the residents out with a couple of months notice. My grandmother was one of them.
Nice people.
First thing the Lib-Dems did here was to close down a Pensioners’ Lunch Club, cheap cooked dinner sort-of-thing, and a chance to socialise.
When rebuked over this decision, their reply was “There are plenty of restaurants in the Town.”
They were voted out next council elections, but the damage was done, there is no Pensioners’ Lunch Club anymore.
They spent the money saved on a great monstrosity of a bus-stop in the centre of town in the shape of a carrot (about 100+ foot high) with twinkly lights on it.
They then pedestrianised a section of the High Street, laudable you might say, until you realise that it funnels pedestrians in one particular direction – away from the main High Street at which point there is a zebra-crossing, which leads directly to the entrance of a Lib-Dem councillor’s convenience store.
We are blessed with 2 of the LibDem councillors on a local newsgroup.
One got into deep water last year when he roughed up a paramedic attending an incident in a park ‘because the ambulance wasn’t supposed to be on the green’… ‘Green’ is very big in the city atm most of what used to be traffic lanes are now empty bus lanes and congestion 10 x worse than it used to be. So big that none of the streets/pavements were gritted in the recent cold weather and people were going over like ninepins. The council was literally were in denial.
The other thing is they are still spinning they’re going to get £9 million they invested back from Iceland. When I first read the news about the banks’ collapse I posted and got the reply from one of them “I haven’t heard so it can’t be true…” and then when it was true, said the treasurer was far too busy to read the FT, so couldn’t be blamed.
Quelle fucking surprise.
Fucking useless sharky fucking Huhnes.
But a 100ft high carrot shaped bus stop???
Wonder which fucker was on drugs when they designed THAT??
Hope it’s okay to link but if you want to see the bus-stop here it is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Westernsilica.JPG
It’s meant to have a shop in it but that closed down . Just a bus-stop now.
Nail on head.
Couldn’t believe Henry Macrory went for him like that last night instead of adressing what Bingle had said – much of which was blatant to anyone with half a brain cell. If CCHQ is being run by rank amateurs like that then it’s no wonder they’re fcked.
They are incapable of running a cohesive, consistent, pro-British campaign, when their agenda is wholly anti-British.
Ha, when Lenny Henry was funny, used to love that.
The only thing David Camoron Stands for is when he takes a piss, and I’m not even convinced about that.
He needs to grow a pair and stop all this mealy mouthed bollocks
Pathetic
But he stands for the same global elitists that labour stands for. All three big Parliamentary parties represent the same agenda pandering to the whims and goals of the global elitists.
LibLabCon
Rent-Seeking party A, B, or C.
“Choose” one. But don’t worry, we “count” the votes too, oh and we know who you voted for too.
European prosecutor could prosecute Britons without Government’s permission
The European Union is planning to create a new super-prosecutor who would have powers to bring cases against British citizens without the approval of the Crown Prosecution Service or the Government.
And the UK Government are powerless to prevent this thanks to Lisbon. The tories/labour/libdums are utterly irrelevent to EU law. Once this happens, we will be in a de facto EU wide police state dictatorship!
Dave talks a tough game on the EU, but completely omits the fact that it can take only NINE members of the EU to agree to implement a policy centralising EU power, removing it from the heads of state and handing it to the commission, or to Council President Rompuy, for us to be incapable of vetoing or refusing, AT ALL!
The EU is now a dictatorship.
We MUST withdraw.
I never used to be like this. I’ve become so cynicle. Don’t know why. In the words of Keane, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQzlnkeFc4Q
Great tune, and great lyrics.
Good suggestion for Cameron. Get that good looking wife of yours, Samantha, out onto the street, into schools, into the NHS, on a housing estate, by the seaside, in fact anywhere!!! Why are you hiding your light under a bushel Mr. Cameron? Gordon burnishes his dreadful appearance by using his wife. William Hague has a good looking wife, for goodness sake get her out on the stump too!
And they would last all of two minutes as the mighty and all seeing eye of “The Dark Lord” and his agents in the media were turned against them.
Cameron and the Tory party have got no chance. They are just going through the motions. When you have the BBC, Sky and most of the media against you it’s better to just give up.
Five more years of Gordon Brown!
Don’t forget Chris Bryant and that snivelling little git from Sheffield- I can’t recall hie name but he is a right ugly little perv,no wonder he turned to buggery.
Just remembered –Clive Betts.
In fairness, he looked good in Y fronts. That said maybe he’d have looked great in Y fronts had he washed them.
I will only voter for her if she shows us her tits.
I’ve got bigger tits than that Cameron woman, and bigger hips and a vastly bigger arse and legs like fuckin tree trunks.
Tweet, tweet, TWEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it up Sarah. You’re doing great.
BTW, did you know Cameron’s got the pox, Osborne shags goats, and Dorries has the largest collection of black dildos in Western Europe?
I’ve been speaking to my mates Patrick and Andrew at The Telegraph and it’s going into next week’s paper.
See you and old queenie at Chequers tonight for dinner at 6. Ciao!
I suspect the lovely Ffion’s not ‘been on the stump’ much recently – slaphead Bill seems to prefer boy-wrestling.
Gordon Brown, Chris Smith, Peter Mandelson, Nick Brown, Ben Bradshaw, Charlie Whelan, Damien McBride……..
Fuck me! De British guvvamint is just a load a battyboys!!
Don’t forget Ed-the big lad-Balls. He’ll cry if you leave him out!!!!
That was always the preserve of the tories I think.
That was always the preserve of the tories I think
System not working.
Im alan partridge.
It’s time for Cameron to ditch two-faced traitor Ed Vaisey.
News has slipped out that Brown intends to put 17.5% Vat on all food purchases. He is going to screw us big time!
Its been decided its very bad for you anyway.
this is called a ‘leak a vote loser idea’ strategy …don’t tell anyone its just a trap for the tories.
is it me or is this site posting replies anywhere it fancies….?
take me onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn take on meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Phew! Worn out.
Get her out on the stump? What can you be meaning.
If I were Brown/Darling I would say that having looked at the figures again New Labour will now NOT increase the top rate of tax to 50% as it will not raise the anticipated funds. It would make the Tories look like the complete asses they are for supporting the rise in the first place and would win back substantial votes to Labour without losing any on the left.
Peter Hitchens will be grateful to Cameron for delivering the destruction of the Conservative Party. It may well be that a new TEA Party allied to Evangelical Protestantism will emerge to replace the clapped out Church of England and its equally moribund soulmate the Tory Party.
This political system cannot survive – it hides too many issues from the public – whether Lisbon, nuclear energy, the death of David Kelly, or even why Venables is in prison – this is the Secret State – secret prisoners for secret offences…but they have been doing that with Control Orders for quite some time.
The Media is simply an extension of the political elites – Gove, Balls, Bradshaw, Kirkbride, all journalists. Hague, simply a bagman for a billionaire. Noone takes this seriously.
The fragmentation of society means no mainstream party can ever get more than 33-35% total electorate voting for it and will get even less in future. If Brown goes AV we can get Muslim Parties splintering from Lab and Tories and a realignment of themed parties separated from the witches’ brew of Conglomerate Parties owned by financial interests and despised by the voting public.
There is NOTHING Cameron can do to recapture disaffected Conservatives. The party is a South-East Regional Party in much the same way Plaid or SNP are Celtic Fringe Parties.
Correct, the soul of the Anglican church in the UK and the Conservative party has been infiltrated and taken over by neo-liberal “third way” Marxists pushing their sinister, sexist, racist and hetero-phobic, anti-white, Anti-male, anti-British agenda.
I do not see many conservatives at the top of the Conservative party anymore.
Yep, the “church” seems to have forgotten this commandment.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
It’s more like the church of Marx now.
I still believe that if the consrvataive party was to switch to a policy of withdrawal from the EU not only would it win back the ukip vote it would take millions of voters away from Labour. Possibly getting into high 40% territory, The only downside would be losing a very few old dinosaurs like Ken Clarke overboard. The reason why the Conservative high command dont dot it? Probably because they love the EU more than their own country. The outlook is extraordinarily bleak. Mr Farage being the one bright spot in our political fimament. For F***s sake when is the conservative party going to grow up and do something sensible!!
Many of the British electorate have been softened up, dumbed down, and infantilised by years of political correctness propaganda, self-hating indoctrination, and cultural marxism, via the media, left-wing/liberal teachers, politicians etc.
To tell these people now that they have been living way beyond their means and have to endure many years of austerity to pay for it, is a task beyond the capabilities of most politicians.
Perhaps it will eventually be up to the IMF to impose it?
Good point Al, they can’t seem to handle reality anymore, but some amateur psychologist should have told Cammo that negative messages have a 90% less chance of sticking in consciousness than positive ones.
Yes but they need telling even at the expense of winning the election they need telling. If Labour bugger it up then we can at least say we told you so. Anyway, I’d rather go down fighting for what I believe in than take power and live as a slave to lefty voguish opinions.
and have no doubt about it, socialism IS slavery.
Freedom is slavery.
Why do you think that ZaNu Lie Baaah have dumbed down education. It is so that school leavers will only be able to claim benefits and the state won’t have to pay to lock up as mental defectives, or whatever the modern politically correct speak is for that Hitlerian technique of dealing with those who are capable of thinking. B-Ruin and Balls and the modern equivalent of Hitler and Goebbels.
From a letter sent to Michael Foot by Blair in 1982.
Just stumbled across it again.
Says a lot about what in Germany are called the 68ers, all products of the universities who were in the ferment of the ‘counter-culture’. In Germany, this west generation is very ‘liberal’, unlike Merkel who saw first hand what Marxism can do, and a new generation of under 35s, who are not impressed by their parents.
A problem I see re: the Conservatives, even of Camerons age, is that they haven’t freed themselves intellectually from the cul de sac of Marxist thought processes and are finding it difficult to put clear, blue water between themselves and the siren voices of collectivism and fudge. You can’t please all of the people all of the time and tough decisions lie ahead.
Anyway, to Blair (1982) 25 years ago, think of the current cabinet.
‘Political thought did not begin nor shall it end with Marx. Yet it is impossible to understand the 30-40 age group in today’s Labour Party without understanding the pervasiveness of Marxist teaching. For me, at university, left-wing politics was Marx and the liberal tradition was either scorned or analysed only in terms of its influence on Marx.’
He was right, of course. He knew what he would be working with, but power and his vanity were just too seductive.
Regardin the 68ers I agree. There is hope though the younger generations are much more Conservative than their parents. Politics and culture are cyclical we’re entering a right wing conservative age with or without the Conservatives.
almost certainly will be the case.
Night be a good idea to emigrate before it happens…
Daniel Finkelstein isn’t a Conservative. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could kick him.
How did Channel 4 get hold of the e mail? Did Bingle do the the equivalent of handing over a box of ammunition to the enemy who concocted the poxy poll equivalent of a dodgy dossier?
The e-mail is a daily newletter sent out to a large variety of clients and contacts
Was just watching Cameron’s speech in Wales on sky news and suddenly it clicked off,the sky guy said oh sorry and that was it.
Clicked on the red button got it up on that and guess what nothing on just music.
Peraphs this was because Cam was having a right go at liebour and it was getting interesting,looks like their usual bias is alive and kicking.
You are right. Cast your mind back to last week when Gordon Brown addressed the Welsh Labour Party Spring Conference. His full speech was shown (while Wliilam Hague was speaking and not one word was heard). The bias is so blatant.
They quickly managed to get a link to Brown’s Macavity act to Afghanistan though…cynical, moi?
This is one of the reasons that Brown will wait to the last possible moment before calling the election campaign.
Until then, labour can get all the free publicity it likes, whilst the tories are completely sidelined.
How did Sky manage to cut George Osborne’s speech just as he is about to lay into Gordon Brown (27 Feb ’10). The speech “continued” on the red button (got the rest from BBC news channel, AFTER they decided to show it live AFTER Osborne’s Gordon Brown attack).
The Sun rag may be supporting the Conservatives, but The Times / Sunday Times and Sky News are firmly New Labour.
That fucking communist Murdoch and his socialist TV News!
Murdoch is first and foremost a Republican. The minute he knew Cameron’s great granny was a mate of the Queen Mother that was enough for him.
Why do you think they bothered with that dimwit Diana so much?
He’s going to die this year
http://bloggers4ukip.blogspot.com/2010/03/another-defection-to-ukip.html
UKIP’s latest recruit is a hugely experienced former Tory councillor and constituency chairman who has defected just weeks before the General Election.
Ron Levy will now campaign on behalf of UKIP’s parliamentary candidate for Colchester, John Pitts. Mr Levy accused Conservative leader David Cameron of a “blatant act of deceit” by breaking his promise to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and says the European Union is leading Britain towards “economic and social abyss”.
“Now, either David Cameron is too blind to see this or, for some reason, he refuses to reveal, he is unwilling to do so,” said Mr Levy, who has more than 40 years experience as a Tory activist.
“The UK Independence Party embodies all the qualities, objectives and policies that I can support, many of which I expected to see in the Conservative Party. But, most importantly, UKIP now speaks for the huge number – probably millions – of people who believe that membership of the EU is destroying our country and who feel the time has come to leave.”
“Ron Levy”……… any relation of Lord Levy?
Well said Ron – you’re not alone, many many thousands of us will be voting for Exit-EU parties, just to get that message across.
I shall be a proud and happy man on election day, saying in my vote that we should get the hell out of the EU, before it destroys this country completely.
I am Voting UKIP.
…in other words you are voting Labour.
Naif !!
Amazing, first sign of trouble and the Tories fall apart. Hardly impressing the electorate……. and to think it will be the Tories that grasped defeat from the jaws of victory by not sticking together.
I want to vote for them but its not a team, its a bunch of selfish, greedy fat know it alls. The country is screwed.
falling polls for months isn’t the first sign of trouble
We are shown only what they want us to see & we have no way of knowing the truth of the polls.
The only pole I wan to see is the one with Gordo’s head on.
Amen to that brother..
bananaman banana republic
Bannarama
Nice to see Brown playing politics again in Afghanistan and promising a replacement for the “Snatch Land Rover” after rubbishing the miltary yesterday at Chilcot. The man is a bloody disgrace to the office of Prime Minister
Everything Brown does is electioneering designed to increase his chances of retaining power. Nothing else matters to him.
But doesn’t he understand we all know he is lying?
Andrew Rawnsley tells the truth; the army chiefs tell the truth; Alasdair Darling tells the truth; but Brown? These are all issues (and there are many more) on which Brown has been ‘outed’ as a liar in the last 10 days, yet no newspaper is following the ongoing story of the PM’s blatent lies. Why? It’s bizarre to say the least.
but the dumd fuckers will still vote for him.
It beggars belief. The BBC still running with Ashcroft story which outside westminster noone gives a toss about, yet the Brown putting our troops in danger line gets next to nothing. he’s visiting troops today, cue ceaseless coverage
his handlers keep his narcisism going.
Where’s all these Taliban snipers we’ve been reading about ?
Coward McBruin is not within a thousand miles of the front line, he’s clustered up at a base camp , the bullet will have to be one of ours.
He didn’t get transported around in a Snatch either, did he?
Pity.
Wasn’t his father a war hero: not.
Brown is considering a raid on savings accounts if he retains power, either as a majority govt or in coalition with the Lib Dems. This is not simply a tax on interest but will be the expropriation of between 10 to 15% of savings capital and will be presented as an emergency measure to stave off the necessity of IMF intervention.
Link?
Savings are already being stolen…..bank rate 0.5%, inflation 3%+..
The real interest rate is well above 5:5%
There are shares that yield above the real interest rate.
I’m moving out of any long term cash.
Wealth taxes exit in europe. Sometimes as 1-offs “in emergencies”. Not at this %, but 1-2 % is not unprecedented. We’re europeans now – god help us.
I Sir am an Englishman and will remain so regardless of riffraff here or in Europe.
Ditto. I was Born in a FREE England, before traitor Heath unlawfully signed us into the EEC on a pack of overt, blatant lies.
I am NOT a European citizen and publicly renounce any and all EU based laws, customs or obligations or rights or protections.
I am a Lancashire lad, I am English, I am British, I am a citizen of the world, but NOT a european. The EU can kiss my hairy white arse and go fuck themselves backwards.
Sounds like a death wish.
Channel 4 is as biased as the BBC. If the Tories do sneak in, Channel 4 should be let to go bankrupt. Lefty sh-it.
did’nt that Huhne redmond go to approved school
Nicely put Guido, a well thought out piece.
On the money in every way!
Spot on analysis Guido yet again.
It was inevitable that Mandelson would try and make political capital out of the Ashcroft ambiguity at some time so why oh why didn’t the Tories spot that likelihood a long time ago and take appropriate pre-emptive action?
Cameron’s membership of the Burlington Club and his education at Eton are likely future targets for Mandelson so here’s hoping the Tories are ready for that one.
There are many other skeletons that Labour will try to use to blow smokescreens over their deficit of coherent policies and abysmal track record and the Tories should have conducted a risk-assessment by now and had their retaliations in first.
What is clear most of all is that the Tories don’t yet have a brilliant campaign manager like Mandelson to mastermind their campaign.
Surely with all the funding and talent available in the marketing world the Tories can get someone who can get the better of Mandelson?
So far as the campaign is concerned there’s nothing to beat targeting single issues such as the complete absence of any coherent method of dealing with the deficit, the ballooning cost of the grossly inefficient NHS etc etc. Far better short snappy posters attacking Labour’s record and saying what the Tories would do instead are essential.
Mandelson is not ‘brilliant’. He is an over-rated bitchy drama queen prone to public temper tantrums when things don’t go his way. The Tories should stop being scared of him and go on the offensive.
Well said ED. The fact is the Madleson ALWAYS oversteps himself, always. The fact that he is still in politics is not due to his fighting spirit or shrewd operations but simply because the culture of Westminster and the Labour Party in particular is in the gutter.
In days past his First resignation would have seen the end of him.
He oversteped himself at the Labour Party conference when he referenced his “comeback” with the “if I can so can you” speech. Nice one Mandleson you just connected your own sleazy comeback with the thought of another Labour Government.
What a Chump !!!!!
He is a flamboyant chump – we could do with many more – but you’re right, the Tories needn’t be scared of him for he’s not as good as his persona suggests.
The fact the tory election team are scared of mandelson says more about the tory election team than anything else, mandelson is a slug like ponce, and is viewed as such through the entire country, if they cannot salt him then they deserve to lose.
Labour are totally dominating the media, led by the sycophantic BBC.
They are able just to rubbish anything the Tories put out and consequently getting their story out.
Their story?
Remember the Tories of old – don’t vote for them again.
They have a fifth rate PM and a fifth rate Cabinet and they have no policies of their own apart from spend spend spend and don’t mention any cuts. They are a spent force.
The Tories need to get a grip of the Media, take them to task and get the message out loud and clear:
The economy is screwed. We will cut the deficit by making some cuts, lots of efficiencies and promote economic growth by supporting SME’s with lending and tax breaks. Everything else is secondary, it’s all about the £ in your pocket.
Where are they all? get on the bloody TV and Radio and fightback
What is the message? Daves a bit like Blair? We love puppies and trees?
Don’t forget muslims.
And political correctness. And windmills. And immigrants. And green taxes. And cycling to work (even if the briefcase follows on behind in a limo).
Breaking News.
Gordo right now in afghanistan,the bastard is running round shaking hands with troops.
Photo’s anyone,so cynical,peraphs he can offer condolences for the latest soldier killed.
If you shake his hand you are marked for death. Beware!!
Soldiers should refuse to shake hands, meet him or guard him… “sorry, operational pressure and all that… we’re too busy”
All arranged by that villain Mandelslime.
Why dose he always shake with one hand & grab the back of their upper arm with the other? Its amost as if they have no choice but to succumb to his all encompassing will. “You will shake my hand & make me look good for the press.” Its just wierd..
Its Masonic
I can think of a better thing an armed soldier could do.
I have sympathy for the tory policy makers on this front, mainly because of the BBC aspect.
If the tories come up with a radical plan, even if it’s a fantastic/genius plan that benefits everyone, the BBC will mis-report it and frighten the voters off completely.
The tories are screwed if they do anything different to labour (in fact they even get screwed when they do the same as labour, just look at the Ashcroft situation on the BBC to see that; labour’s corruption is far far worse, but the BBC only reports on a single tory rather than all the labour corruption; instead of reporting on both sides of the coin, the BBC just have “nasty rich tory corrupts democracy” as their main implied top headline for days on end)
I think the tories are playing it safe, basically hoping that most people have simply had enough of Brown/labour to swing the vote their way. If the tories offer much different then the BBC will annihilate them even if that difference is beneficial to everyone.
My guess is that it’s the BBC’s reporting which is the only thing stopping the tories from being radical. If/when the tories get in then the whole thing will change (I hope), and the tories will then come up with radical stuff.
Get your foot in the door first by hiding your intentions from the BBC, then do what’s needed. You simply can’t tell the truth at the moment, because the BBC will twist it and use it against you.
The BBC would rather bankrupt the country than let the tories in. They’ll stop at nothing, absolutely nothing, to smear the tories and keep the labour core-vote.
Today’s headline on the BBC:
PM visits soldiers in Afghanistan (with a small snide aside against the military chiefs implying that they were lying about funding)
Sky: Ex-Forces Bosses Attack PM Over Iraq Inquiry
On newsnight, the military said that Brown was using semantics to basically lie, but the interviewer allowed Falconer the “I don’t see that” defence without question, and it’s never been mentioned anywhere else on the BBC. Brown told blatent lies to the inquiry, misleading them completely by using invalid technical get-out clauses, but the BBC never picked up on it (neither did the inquiry itself)
WE don’t know that yet. Let them write that report. Bear in mind what other witnesses have said.
Shame that it will come out well after the election.
Oh yes. Anyone who followed the evidence Hutton Report closely (as I did) would draw the conclusion that Dr Kelly was harried mercilessly by the government in the months leading up to his death.
End result: it was all Gilligan’s fault.
What fucking Inquiry, surely that cosy chat cannot be described as an Inquiry.
Blair only appeared a lttle apprehensive because the BBQ was burning back on the yacht in Bermuda!!
Whats the problem? present an honest and genuine plan to the electorate, if they lose then the country will fucking collapse and the tories will be in the position 12 months down the line of saying ‘we told you so’ and picking up a landslide.
Only problem is the 10 years of austerity now required will have become 20 years – and who will want to spend the rest of their adult life working to pay off the debt when sitting on your backside sucking up tax credits is an option?
Nobody would be getting tax credits anymore as the IMF will be running the economy.
You understimate the shrewdness of the IMF. They could continue to feed tax credits and dole money to the economically illiterate masses to keep them from rioting in the streets, while any real wealth left in the country is transferred abroad to our creditors. The Great British public seem to have a knack for buying into big lies, so they’d fall for it.
Watch Greece for an amateur’s guide to what’s coming here.
Civil unrest is an absolute certainty, no matter who wins the election.
We’ll be selling the IOW to Saudi and Scotland to China (or visa versa)… when they call in our debts.
Sounds like the late 70′s again, remind me who was in power then?
Spot on. You can fight Labour but you cannot fight the BBC. David Cameron could find the cure for cancer and he would be nothing compared with St. Michael Foot.
The BBC is relentless. 24 hours a day EVERY DAY of the year. On Radio, TV & online the anti-Tory bias is in the News, Current Affairs, Comedy, Drama , Phone-ins, DJ’s ,Presenters etc. etc. People leave the BBC to work for Labour and vice-versa. They are interchangable.
Any Questions last night on R4 had the usual BBC line -up. Three MAJOR lefties on the panel, one in the chair and hundreds in the audience all shouting , jeering and booing Ken Clarke. Not for anything he said but just because he is a Conservative.
What chance has Cameron got?
“they will claw back the tax reduction by changing the treatment of various tax allowances such that the overall change will be revenue neutral. The effective rate of tax on corporations will be unchanged. It is change for the sake of a headline, a Gordon Brown type of financial sleight of hand.”
Obviously tax cuts would be better, but tax simplification is a start. That is not ‘Gordon Brown type’ anything – he has massively complicated the system. Scrapping some allowances would be a start at simplification.
Ironically Brown as chancellor used the phrase “tax simplification” to announce tax increases. Eg. the scrapping of lower and marginal rates of corporation tax for small businesses. Corporation tax for small businesses are, BTW, about to increase yet again.
Who the fuck is Peter Bingle? As Boris said on Question Time, hordes of ex Labour Ministers have queued up to stick the rubber knife into the back of McDoom, and yet one story from a non entity suddenly means the Tories are falling apart? Bizarre.
Too true, like Al-Beeba dragged up Ex MP Batley&Spen circa 1997 Dame Elizabeth Peacock to slag off the Ashtray Saga FFS. When was the last-time she appeared in any current affairs!
Thank you for the Follow Fridays – appreciate it

Magda Goebbels-Brown still tweeting shite I see. She really is a nasty piece of work. Now wonder the Downing St civil servants hate her.
“Thank you for the Follow Fridays – appreciate it”
WTF does that mean in English?
Goodness knows what she is Twittering on about. Bearing in mind her husband was at the Chilcot inquiry and then on to a plane for Afghanistan on “Follow Friday”
Dont worry she doesnt know either as the whole twitter scam is done by interns and Labour researchers. Fucking Fake !!!
It means, I think, that, in a very precious way, she is pleased it’s the weekend.
But who knows. She’s in a world of her own
Her old man is in Afghanistan. She has the bottle out with a couple of her ‘special’friends.

On the website, http://www.politicalreformparty.co.uk is an election manifesto that is full of policy proposals that voters more than welcome . . . but . . . . no leading politicians will hear of such ‘ideas’ as they are agreed to stick to the limited range within the bounds of least bothersome work.
Lib Dems with Euro knobs on — no thanks.
Seconded Limp Dims and Euro knobs
Ashcroft was an entirely foreseeable problem, Tory high command hoped that because they had squared the Electoral Commission they had buried the problem. A strategic miscalculation based on wishful thinking.
No. A strategy based on looking inwards at the Westminster bubble not looking outwards to the people. The Electoral Commission is not us, it is the State. The lack of rigorous policies coming from the Conservatives is because they do not want to mobilise the State against them, even if voters would lap it up. They want the public sector to see them as a safe pair of hands.
The Government is currently thinking about regulating the size of chips. For our own good of course. Has Dave said he’ll do away with all this nonsense? He could say it now.
We have ‘families’ with up to a dozen children paid for by the taxpayer and no father to speak of. Dave could say now that this is unfair both for the taxpayer and the quality of life such an upbringing causes, and that a Conservative Government would limit child benefits (to new claimants) to 2 or 3 children. Dave will not do that.
There is a good reason why Dave will not do many things – the abuse of the taxpayer and removal of our liberty has happened in part because the Conservatives have been a shit opposition.
There’s not much Cameron can do in opposition, particularly with the BBC ready to smear him at every opportunity. Give him a chance in government. If he fuck’s up then boot him out.
There is no other alternative. If Cameron doesn’t get in then we will have at least five more years of Brown.
Yeah we’ve been fucked over, but not really, really fucked over like we truly deserve. Let Gordy go for the vinegar stroke I say.
Five more years of Brown!!
This is exactly what the politicians want – the impression that Government is supreme when infact Parliament is (or should be), it’s just the bulk of MPs are too idle to upset the applecart. Too many of them want to be in the Government thinking that is the pinnacle of their political career when they have already made it – being a member of Parliament. Too many of them hand our authority to quangos and Brussels and whoever else. That has got to stop.
Being in opposition *is* a very important job. Being a backbencher in your own party is just as important. They are all there to hold the Government to account. The party and whip system has put too much power in the Government’s hands. It has perverted the system.
The Conservative track record *as an opposition* doesn’t auger well for their competency as a Government. A lot of bad law has been passed that the Conservatives should have done more to prevent but they didn’t, because they are a statist party as well.
the minutia is unimportant as the voter only needs to hear phrases such as ‘non-payment of taxes’ and ‘millionaire funding’ to put it into the category of yet more proof they are all as bad as each other and out for themselves after expensesgate
put simply, it looks and sounds bad and we all know it does or Dave and William wouldn’t have had a don’t ask don’t tell policy for all these years or been bounced into it by a FOI request
Personally, I hold people like Carswell and Hannan responsible for not having the balls to come out and challenge the lacklustre Cameron and weak Hague when they fucked up over Lisbon. Thats when the rot really set in.
Stop banging on about Lisbon for fucks sake! Nobody is fucking interested and there’s far bigger problems to deal with, like getting rid of this bastard Brown and his gang of lying, thieving traitorous scum.
Warts and all it’s only the Tories who can remove Brown. A vote for UKIP is a vote for Labour.
Nobody is interested?
That was the game changer. Hgaue’s been anonymous since and Cameron’s speeches are now blahblahblah. He had the opportunity to really make a mark, he bottled it.
The Conservative Party will pay the price unfortunately.
No – there aren’t any bigger problems than Lisbon. Why are “they all the same – as bad as each other” ? Because with 80% plus of power in Brussels, and the remaining 20% set to be removed, there is no scope for differentiation on substantive policy.
Oh yeah?
When you have another Labour Government or hung Parliament or Lib/Lab coalition they’re going to march in and un-sign Lisbon and everything will be alright again? UKIP if you want to…
and I do. The conservatives could have easily increased that 22% poll lead.
They elected a Liar like Bliar and the rest is history.
And if they’d done that?
Labour and Brussels joining in would have had a field day — ‘incoming Tory government reneges on international treaties’, ‘UK banned from EU Commission”, ‘EU farm subsidies hit with sanctions’.
First get into power then re-negotiations can begin, and an in/out referendum can be called. Voting UKIP is a vote for the status quo and 5 more yeas of Labour.
> ‘incoming Tory government reneges on international treaties’, ‘UK banned from EU Commission”, ‘EU farm subsidies hit with sanctions’
and watch the polls SOAR.
Where would they soar?
OAPs who no longer work maybe, but you have to remember 70% of our trade is now with Europe, small businesses would be sunk — millions go there on holiday every year: to them, the belonging to the EU and having a laugh in Benidorm (Europe) is more or less the same thing they won’t understand the difference and that’s just the hoi polloi — what about all the middle classes and their holiday/retirement homes in France/Spain/Italy? Cameron would hardly endear himself to them by making anti EU statements.
There is a huge difference between a tactical and organized retreat from the EU and a rout or flight from it in headlong panic.
Some of us have principles Susie and stick by them. If Brown does succeed in cobbling together an administration it wont last long, the ensuing chaos will see to that. If Cameron gets elected having weaseled out of any commitment to do something substantive on the EU do you honestly think he will change once elected? If you do then your are deluded. He is the heir to BLiar, all piss and wind.
Your ‘principles’ won’t keep you out of jail when the EU decides that it’ll arrest you for anti-EU propaganda or not paying the EU income tax. (The Labour government will get its cut).
I’d prefer the buffer of a Conservative government to pay lip service to the EU and lose the paperwork, thank you very much — that’s what France has been doing for years.
No ones interested? I think everyone post-lisbon knew Cameron was prepared to lie, he really WAS heir to bLiar.
The Conservatives if they are elected will at least try to ameliorate some of the impact of Lisbon whereas Labour ably assisted by the LibDems WON’T
So what is it about that statement that you don’t understand
Apropos the right’s newposter boy and aide Hannan and Carswell you need to understand that a Tory party led by them would never get elected EVER
They will ‘ameliorate’ it? How exactly? What total shit.
“In or out?” is the only question that matters. We can’t try to ameliorate powers wielded by the EU – to my knowledge we have NEVER reclaimed any powers ceded to/appropriated by Brussels.
The Tories could have offered an In or out referendum. However Dave’s wedded to European integration. That alone makes him unworthy of power in my opinion.
Lisbon is not the law, it is an illegal act which ERII illegally signed. It passes sovereign powers to a foreign government and thus breaks the two main points of the British Constitution, the rule of law (ours) and the supremacy of Parliament.
It also breaches the Act of Settlement, as have all previous ‘treaties’ with the Franco-German dystopia.
Sooner or later, people will wake up to what has been thrown away (stolen) and demand it back. Most people are so shallow as to not care what piece of paper trumps another, but they will when the food and money stops.
Good points. and Brown was so ashamed of what he was ding that he was not even prepared to be seen signing it, i say we should completely dishonour the bloody thing!
Precisely – ‘mitigate’ would be a far better word to use – amelioration would imply making something better, which isn’t possible without leaving the EU.
You can’t ameliorate the Lisbon Treaty, in the same way you can’t polish a turd. Just like a turd, it must be flushed away so we can be lberated every last smell of EUSSR interference, only then can we be really free to rule our own future.
It is vital that every thinking voter supports any Exit-EU party – that creates a goundswell which can be built upon to deliver the eventual freedom. If it screws up this election, so be it, the long-term goal of getting free is far more important.
The Tories will never win an election when the BBC constantly pump out anti-Tory/pro-Labour propaganda at every single news bulletin and discussion programme.
Face it, Cameron doesn’t stand a chance, and that’s all there is to it.
The plot to stop the Tories EVER regaining power…

Mass immigration, benefit dependent families = core voters. Media onside pumping out propaganda – how on earth can Brown loose.
http://conservativehome.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451b31c69e20120a9085d5e970b-pi
Oh shut up you hysterical woman !!!
That’s just a long winded way of saying there nowt between liebour and the cons. The voters know it and come May 6th will show it – by either not voting at all or boosting all the minorities evenly to new, but ultimately pointless, highs for each of them.
Excellent and thoughtful piece by the Fawkes.
The plain fact is the Cameroons don’t realise or care that Britain stands at a crossroads.
The idealogical choices could not be more stark, yet they choose this ridiculous policy of trying to ensure no-one gets upset by their policies.
The Scotch Socialistic gang running England are taking us to the brink of bankruptcy, what do the Tories wish to do about this?
More sense talked about this over on Iain Dales.
Fawkes has bought into Channel 4 black propaganda bollocks, as ammunition to use against the Fink with whom he has some long standing ideological differences.
http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2010/03/channel-4-news-oh-dear-oh-dear.html#links
Dale is an Ashcroft stooge who benefits from his cash largesse as well as being laughably wrong over the years.
Peter Blink, who he?
Guido, Good of you to point out that Peter Bingle is right. So he is.
However, one thing you and all the other excellent comments have failed to mention is CAMERON.
A leader should have got a better fighting team around him. A leader should inspire. Surely the fact that ‘nobody knows what the tories stand for’ is simply because nobody can tell me just what Cameron stands for.
Is he a Tory? Is he a Liberal? just what is he, what is his vision. We have all criticised Brown for his lack of vision. Where is Cameron’s?
I do agree with tapestry. It was the Lisbon Cast iron Guarantee which cause many people, myself included, to see Cameron as a weak man who just expects to be elected NOT for what he can do BUT what the Labour Party have failed to do.
He needs big politicians around him. Polioticians that have proved for years that they can fight. People that may be considered old but they know how to fight this Labour crowd.
I make a prediction. The debates will be a trap for our honest good boy Dave. Brown and Clegg will make him out to be a chancer without any substance. It will then be too late.
My advice is simple. I think Cameron has to ask himself if he is up for a rough filthy fight. If he is honest he should say NO. Then he should ask for David Davis or Ken Clarke to take over immediately.
Good post Guido. I cannot resist further comment on the corporation tax policy – I heard a snippet the other day where Osborne or Cameron (I can’t tell ‘em apart) assured his interviewer that any reduction of the headline rate of tax would be revenue neutral as they would remove some allowances such as the 100% allowance given to small businesses for the first £50K of capital investment. Well, as a small business that needs to invest about £50K in a new machine I thought “shit, that doesn’t sound too good”. OK, the tax break is worth only a few grand but these few grands make all the difference. So my message to Osborne on that policy is it won’t win you any votes and it may actually cost you some support – so leave well alone. Now, if he said we are reversing the increase in employer’s NIC, that would be worthwhile.
As for the Ashcroft affair, Cameron is like a rabbit caught in the headlights. They knew that the BBC have been banging on about this for months – they should have dealt with it then. I’m beginning to think the Chingford skinhead may have a point.
The only thing I can agree with Cameron at the moment is that another 5 years of Labour and Brown would be a disaster.
Sounds like Camerwrong is sucking up to big business at the expence of smaller businesses.
He really is a NWO stooge.
Whoever wins, we lose!
Hung parliament, then economic reality (collapse), then a rebuild is the best we can hope for. What a terrible thought.
Whatever Cameron & Co come with, they better come up with it soon or those who have decided that McTwat & Co are not worthy of their vote, but cannot bring themselves to support Cameron & Co, might vote for one of the minority parties or worse, not vote at all.
That will probably put McTwat back in No 10 for another 5 years.
God I’m glad I don’t live in the remains of the UK.
describes me exactly. Only ever voted Conservative (except for Iain Duncan Smith – no explanation required!), but I cant get over the heir to Blair perception of Cameron. Why bother voting for more of the same? The Tories need some bold policies to get me out on election day.
Perhaps the Tories need to have a look at the Treasury books, before they make any promises. Just think of the Lloyds Bank take over of HBOS.
Yet another “powder dry” excuse.
They are wearing thin.
Think a lot of peoples solution will be to follow you abroad, I certainly will be leaving this wreck of a country, sad to remember what it was but unwilling to go down with the ship I’m afraid.
Get out now, before you need permission, that will not be granted.
@Scallywag; describes me exactly. Always been Conservative but just cant get over the “heir to Blair” perception of Cameron and why bother voting for more of the same. As Guido says, I need some bold policies from the Tories before I commit to them.
Then you are effectively voting for Brown.
Make sure you understand that when the polls close on May 6th.
He does have a point though Bill. I too am wavering on the edge.
Ooops managed to post twice! Completely agree Bill but what does it matter if Cameroon is more of the same?
Vote Brown get Ballsup.
I have been on this anti Cameron = Brown theme a lot recently so sorry if you’ve seen it already. The fact remains
The election is NOT a referendum on how Tory are Cameron’s Tories but a referendum on Brown’s Britain.
Not happy that Dave isn’t anti – eu enough? Not happy about him ring fencing Foreign aid? Then vote Brown and I’m sure he will address all your worries. Why I bet he’s got a thick policy file on how to restrict immigration that he has been working on for 13 years. Nearly ready. Just a few more years of unlimited access and it will be ready to go.
Worried about the growth of the state? Brown’s your man then! He surely has had a conversion after planning to continually increase the public sector all his life, and now believes that a smaller state is to be welcomed
If you want a more right wing thinking party then how does giving Brown yet another 5 years help you to achieve it?
The election is not an X Factor on how good an opposition leader was Cameron.
It is a genuine vote to end this government forever.
No more having to have a CRB check to take your children to the park or a special patio tax because you have a home not in a tower block.
The Tories have not done enough to convince Tories. That is obvious. But to decide that therefore they don’t DESERVE your vote is simply a vote to continue the Brown project for at least twice as long as it has already been going on.
{A longer piece and readers comments for those who like a rant at
I’ve a Vote for Labour here}
Brown’s not my man but neither is Dave. You only get one vote FOR who you want to be PM, and mine’s not going to Dave or Brown.
Then its a Brown win.
That is the point. You can vote for who you want. But the only possibility of getting rid of who you don’t want is a vote for Cameron.
All the assorted Libs, Ukip B&P , free radicals, hippies, Libertarians or greens aren’t going to make a difference to anything.
I hope Brown does win, because he’ll never get past another year before the civil unrest gets to the point that the politicians will either do what they’re told by the electorate (like they’re supposed to) or we’ll lynch them. The resulting hatred for all smarmy, mealy-mouthed, say anything – do nothing politicians (we’re already getting to that point now) might mean that Labour will cease to exist and the Cons will go back to being conservative. At the very least we get to see a few of them twitching on lamp-posts.
EV, yep That’s what I’m betting on too.
5 years of delay before a rebuild, or 1 year of delay before a rebuild.
Simple as that.
This election means nothing, especially with those slow economic death v fast economic death options.
If you want to rebuild a failed organisation the thing to do is cut the bad quickly, totally and ONCE.
a hung parliament is the best way to achieve that.
Well said Sir Bill.
Ac1: Firstly, you are NOT ELECTING A PRIME MINISTER you are electing a GOVERNMENT. This time the choice is not between just another 5 years of a Conservative/Labour one, but voting into power an EU regional government of one flavour or another FOREVER as both LibDems and Labour will see to it that they get the form of PR that will never see them out of influence again.
Here’s your really rocky Labour marginal:
Last election: 25,000 votes counted, Labour maj 9,000, Conservative 8,500, LibDems 3,000. UKIP 1,500
UKIP doubles its vote by 100% comprised of Conservative defections — UKIP still only has the same as the LibDems and the seat becomes a safe Labour one instead of a marginal. Thanks Ac1. Brilliant just dandy.
Dave’s “Cast Iron Guarantee ” should have been a little stronger…
It’s EU Dave for 5 years or EU Brown for 1 year (max).
My pile of shit is slightly less putrid than your pile of shit.
Vote for shit!
Then all you need is a bendy stick & you could play shitty shotty. Don’t ask…it’s a bob mortimer ism. You had to be there..
I live in an SNP stronghold.
My vote counts for fuck all.
As much as the public want to get rid of Brown and Labour, they still want to choose a party with good polices that are understandable and desirable.
Cameron can’t just count on people voting for him to get rid of Brown, which is what we see when we see their ‘change’ slogan.
Give us something solid on immigration and the EU and the elections is yours in a bag Cameron!
Agree totally.
But its very late in the day. There are lots of reasons why the Tories are suddenly so short of good ideas.
The main one is us of course.
We were giving Dave Blair like poll leads. And Blair never said any sentence with a verb in it. All aspirational bollocks, but we all loved it. Change without pain,cost or upheaval. We loved it.
Dave has been sailing along very comfortably without having or even needing to do anything. The less he said, the better the polls.
Now, apparently, we all suddenly think that maybe Brown should have another 5 years.
Truth is, Brown is the worst PM in the history of PMs. A monkey in a suit would be better.Might even have better social skills.
The neutral and non-comittal slogan “Change” is typical of Cameron and his crew. They don’t want to say anything that might tie their hands in advance of an election win. When I changed my underpants this morning I could have changed into a clean pair or a smeggy pair dredged from the bottom of my laundry basket – both would have been a “change”.
Whenever a political parasite mentions the word change you just know that it wont work out well for us proles.
We will keep our money and they can keep their change?
That “Change” thing isn’t working for 0bama. Most negative presidency ever.
If there was hope, it lay with the proles.
Its not even something they have thought of to that deep extent, the reasoning consists of this – Obama said change, he won, copy him – and thats it.
I completely agree. Some decent policies, and he’d have a landslide.
But unfortunately that’s not the man Cameron is. He’s a nice family man, but lacks the substance and courage a leader of this country needs. Just look at his cowardice over the Referendum issue, and the same over Ashcroft. If he didn’t have the balls to deal with Ashcroft 18 months ago, what’s he going to be like standing up to Hilary Clinton over the Falklands?
Ask yourself why ‘the big 3′ don’t have policies like a total withdrawal from Europe or a reinstatement of the death penalty?
I am absolutely convinced that if they did they would sweep to power in the biggest landslide in history, and we all know that politicians will do and say anything for a vote, so why will they not reflect the known will of the people?
Perhaps they are not really the ones running the show?
Do none of you realise the main thing?
Gordon Brown is hated across the country by millions and millions of people,across all party lines and all ages and both sexes.
This hatred will ensure that Brown is out on 7th May.
It does not matter what anyone else does or says,Gordon Brown will be “elected out”.
The British people can be fooled some of the time but not all of the time and this time they will at last have the chance.
Expect the likes of Bercow to be beaten,Labour marginals falling faster than Jordan’s knickers and more surprises throughout election night as Labour dissolves across the country.
Dont forget the vast amount of vote rigging that will go on. The outcome has already been decided. All that remains is to put in place the rhetoric to make a labour win more beliveable, ie the closing polling gap. The con is going on all around us, right under our noses.
I hope so i pray every night………… .this lying bastard will be kicked out every time i see him on he reminds me of Hitler and the BBC doing the dirty work for him like the SS.
I’m glad you’re so confident, but pity the poor Tories having to sort out the mess with no co-operation from the media or the people with vested interests. Sorry to be negative, but I’ve just been listening to the baying mob on “Any Questions”, which usually has a fairer audience than on Question Time.
Gordon Brown is in danger of losing his OWN seat!!!
What a wonderful thought! Any evidence?
My god I hope you are right. Not long.
But this could be the last time.
Please don’t forget dear voters, vote labour & you get Ed Balls as chancellor!!! If we think it’s bad now……….
O/T
The Daily Telegraph: Hundreds of NHS wards to be shut in secret plans
http://www.focus-fen.net/index.php?id=n212198
So far, only the plans for London have come to light. Campaigners claimed the proposals threatened services such as casualty and maternity units at 13 out of 36 hospitals in the capital.
………..The failure of health authorities in other areas to disclose their response has prompted allegations that proposed closures, which could be politically damaging to the Government, will not be published until after polling day.
The scale of the cuts has caused a rebellion among Labour ministers who have openly defied the Government by publicly protesting at closures at their local hospitals.
Next week, health ministers will come under pressure from the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats to disclose the scale of the plans, with the Tories calling an emergency debate on the issue………………
When your house is burning down,do you ring 999 and spend any time choosing which fire station you want to come and attend?
No – you get the hell out.
There will no hung Parliament – Brown will be annihilated at the Polls.
There are too many people fed up with Brown,Blair and Labour – whatever it brings,they want to get them out.
yes, Brown isnt going to get much of the vote but the issue is that the opposition vote is going to be split between Conservative, UKIP, BNP, and LibDem because the Conservatives are so weak.
The problem is the hung parliament, with none of the other parties getting enough areas to completely win.
So while they will get a lot less votes, we don’t want the other votes to be spread among too many other parties.
Because of Camerons lack of policy on the EU and immigration many of the votes they would have got will go the UKIP/BNNP.
On the other hand, I think the UKIP could do really well if they show us they can handle economy and have good strategies for it. Unfortunately they do not get much time in the mainstream media to let us know if they have or have not.
The Dutch election might change that.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/netherlands/7369693/Wilders-on-course-to-be-next-Dutch-prime-minister.html
Except for AlJaBeebya coverage, but that goes without saying.
Wonder how Wilders’ court case is going?
I’ve been looking for coverage – ANY coverage – for the past month without success.
It’s been postponed until after the election – hopefully Wilders will be elected, as he promises a ‘freedom of speech’ law that would make further action by the pro-Islamic courts unlikely.
This could be the beginnings of a wider populist movement throughout Europe. People whose generosity and tolerance have been stretched to breaking point saying “enough is enough”. I would be happy to support something like that provided it doesn’t get hijacked by neo-nazis or other people with true fascist agendas.
It’s not tolerance, it’s RECIPROCATION that’s important.
Islam does not reciprocate. It has no place in a western culture who’s success is founded in reciprocation.
Socialism doesn’t reciprocate either, but that’s another story.
As Geert says, “Islam and democracy are inimical”.
Wish we had him over here. There’s a lot going on in Sweden too, Jews in Malmo who were WWII refugees leaving in droves or being driven out by Islamic extremism.
This is what I want from a political party
1. repeal all new labour laws
2. remove surveillance society
3. exit the EU
4. reduce number of MPs to 300
5. close the BBC
6. increase personal tax allowance to £15,000
7. make it law that no one can stand to be an MP unless they have 15 years work experience
8. limit roles of local councils and fire all jobsworth positions
9. exit Iraq and Afghanistan
10. Indict Bliar Brown Campbell and Goldsmith, at least, for war crimes
now someone, go away and do it! Are you listening Tories?
Our Dave lost it with his cast iron pledge,the NewCons polls have been going down hill since,I am at a point where I don’t give a toss who gets in as it will be the same as usual, no change, high taxes,guilty until proven inoccent,mp’s stealing even more from us,lies and more lies,then even lieing about lies,I think we need a Rumania moment in the countries history to try and get us back on track.
We need to shoot a PM
Can I add “Stimulate the business environment by reducing Corporation Tax, providing tax breaks for training and apprenticeship schemes, and on capital investment”.
If this country is going to get itself out of the hole it’s in, the only way is by exproting products and services that the world wants to buy, and at a price it’s prepared to pay. We can do it, given a favourable business climate. We can’t if businesses are being stifled, or potential entrepreneurs reckon that the rewards are not worth the risk.
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/TaxLess4more/#detail
I wouldn’t close the BBC completely but I would close down their news and politics departments and have them focus purely on entertainment and factual/educational programmes.
Not even that – remember how ‘Play for Today’ was exclusively anti-Thatcher for years? ‘Bread’? ‘Black Stuff’? ‘Spongers’? All of that shit is still out there for anyone with a torrent client – download ‘em and see what licence-payers’ money made back then. (Figuratively speaking – not suggesting that anyone breaches BBC copyright)
Since we probably still need terrestrial TV for civil defence etc, provide a single channel public service with defined news programs and old BBC program repeats (already paid for), channel costs funded by advertising.
Move EVERYTHING else off to subscription channels or micro-payment pay per view via iplayer/next generation set top boxes.
Result – freedom to watch what you want, and pay for as much as you want. It might even revive the flagging fortunes of lending libraries/book sales…
You self censored there Nick2. It’s a terrible habit that will lead to complications.
Why do we need an extortion funded terrestrial TV station for self defence?
Just use the existing channels in the event of a proper emergency.
government lawyers tried to prevent the sun from reporting anything regarding the venables situation.
vote for 5 more years of soviet era censorship, and go to jail if you disobey, but it’s ok to murder. and get paid a new life for just £1m

The only politicians I trust….and I will be voting for one of them.
vote libdem, get brown/balls
How soon after voting Lib Dem do your balls turn brown, and what happens to you if you are a lady voter?
The Tories have no Tory policies because they not real Tories, they are a fake assemblage of sellouts/muppets/wierdos/fuckwits and nodding head lackys handpicked to obey their new overlords and masters in Brussels, when will people realise that they are now simply there to carry out orders on the political and economic fronts.
Everthing the Tories will do in government will be a direct order from the eurotrash scum and passed down as orders via the leftist/Marxist middlemen that have been placed between HMG and Brussels.
The sellouts have sold us down the river, they get the satrap role and we get to become the new serfs of a new empire run by people who hate us and our history.
With the advent of the illegal constitution things are going to change very quickly, no more drawn out conferences and wrangling matey, all thats required from our new regime will be unquestioning obedience, thats why Cameron spews the party line on the global warming fraud, he sticks to the line as if his life depended on it(it does).
Notice how silent the Tories are on all of the dire problems we face, look at them and look at the no policy no substance vacuum and weep.
The biggest trick the eurotrash scum ever pulled was to remove our democratic rights and buy off our political leaders while we slept, time to pay the price for it and the price is going to be heavy indeed.
Oh Cassandra a bird after my own heart
Thankyou very much!
You should be PM
Many blessings upon you and may your tribe increase!
Sorry to be picky but isn’t a English Viking a Norman?
(I’m not having ago your posts this afternoon are pretty good)
Norman blood is in all good Englishmen, from the Viking raids in first millennium and the Normans in 1066 and onwards. The Normans are simply Vikings that lived in what we now call France (after a bit of raping and pillaging). Norman/Norseman.
Can’t stop, it’s my go in the axe throwing.

The Conservatives say that we need Change. Agreed – we do.
Next question – what to?
They haven’t got a fucking clue!
Quite.
So we vote against McRuin. Fine. But what do we vote FOR.
For Heaven’s sake Cameron – GIVE US SOMETHING TO VOTE FOR. There is no shortage of positive ideas on this blog – we know you read it.
We like the ideas on education – and Liebore know it’s good because (after a fashion) they tried to copy them. So give us some positive policies on tackling the deficit and the national debt, stimulating the economy, streamlining local and national government, sensible limits on immigration, a pragmatic and realistic energy policy, reducing imports and increasing exports, decent healthcare at a sensible cost, respect for our traditions, culture, heritage and way of life, a reduction in surveillance and the intrusion into private affairs of ordinary people – the list goes on. There’s plenty to choose from.
If you came up with sound policies on some of these, and promised a referendum on whether or not to continue with EU membership, you’d sweep the country.
If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well It were done quickly.
Cameron’s Labour-surrogates can deliver nothing but a false dawn; merely delaying the inevitable storm with wishy-washy pledges of fake change that will be no change at all.
There’s only one party that will institute real and beneficial changes. It’s the one that the Lib/Lab/Con gang, the media and even Fawkes regard as beyond the pale, unmentionable except to tar with lies and baseless smears.
Vote wisely or repent at leisure.
You mean the protectionist, socialist, inchoate dimwit party?
Although I hope they get a few MPs in the Liebour heartlands, swapping one monocular moron for another, even more swivel-eyed monocular moron won’t sort out our problems.
Don’t talk about Monachem Begin like that.
And which particular binocular, stereotype candidatewill sort out our problems?
Neither Brown nor Griffin is a moron.
The former has diligently constructed his marxist utopia, with a little help from his globalist friends.
The latter will dismantle that nightmare and restore Great Britain.
you’re an arsehole albacore.
fuck off.

Not able to communicate effectively???? Having more media support might help that. Instead all we see are Mandelscum’s cronies in the press and the god-awfull BBC, doing Labour’s dirty work.
To communicate, means to make a load of bullshit promises that the Tories know theycannot afford, due to Brown bankrupting the nation. If they say they are going to do this or that, the same Labour media w*nkers will cry “how you going to afford that? Your figures don’t add up!” etc. Thanks to to the disastorous inheritance, Labour have left them, the only honest message they can communicate is one of extreme financial hardship.
Hardly surprising they are finding it difficult to find a consistent positive message to “communicate” to the electorate. Even if they had enough media support, they would still look confused.
Guido is bang on the money on this. I’d say that Cameron has been getting some extremely dodgy advice. The tories expected to win by default, using the fact that the electorate are pig sick of Broonand the leftie menace.
However, Nulabour has some seriously experienced spin doctors who are working on the last chance saloon principle of saying and doing whatever it takes to win, and sort out the consequences later, even if that means trashing the country even more than they have already.
Labour has also racked up a massive alliance of public sector workers, immigrants, benefits claimants, as part of their long term plan to buy them more votes to replace the white working classes who they have disenfranchised.
These people are a lost cause, they are the turkeys who will not vote for christmas so Cameron needs to be appealing to the middle classes and the true working class – those neglected (or robbed) by Broon – who want to keep more of their money and not have labour piss it up the wall paying for diversity officers, wars, and dustbin inspectors.
These are the people who want to be inspired, to see fury and passion over the way labour have destroyed this country, and above all to hear how it is going to be sorted out. Talking about cuts and more cuts may keep the IMF happy, but it is not very inspiring. Let’s see more of a vision, something that can cheer us after years of grey, soviet control freakery from The Kommrades.
Instead they get a few limp sound bites.
The tories are sleepwalking to defeat if they don’t hurry up and start saying the right thing. And then the marxists will truly have taken over the asylum.

Geert Wilders is right. The islamification of Europe must be stopped before it’s too late. They are flooding in every day and also outbreeding the indigenous population by 8 to 1.
If the Tories won’t reverse this attempt at ethnic cleansing of the native British then parties will arise who will do.
They already have and will continue to gather support. More power to their elbows.

Amen. Absolutely spot-on accurate, Guido.
Devious Dave
I told you he was ‘Reich Lite’ uncle Ken’s catamite. Another looser and another nail in the coffin of the british people.
and when Labour get in again we will all be in a living hell.ffs
Seems th UK couldnt care a fuck at the moment but they soon will when we go bankrupt and no one wants to buy our debt.
Let’s be honest. Cameron and the Tories haven’t got a chance of winning the election.
It’s not just the Labour Party that Cameron is up against. He is also being attacked every day by the Lib Dems (Labour-lite) the BBC, Sky News, most of the print media including sections of the Telegraph and Mail, UKIP, quangocrats, pro-Labour civil servants like O’Donnell, most of the pollsters, etc etc
Cameron hasn’t got a cat in hell’s chance. LOL
Cameron has lost it. Labour and the Lib Dems are already making arrangements for their coalition government. Changes will be made to ensure that the the Tories will never get in again. Britain will have permanent left-wing socialist/liberal rule.
Imagine if they actually had real conservative policies? The collective daily wailing and gnashing of teeth would be a hundred times worse still.

The C*nt wont fall for that twice.
The elction campaign has started already but the BBC aren’t letting the Tories join in yet.
The analysis offered by Bingle is almost a word for word copy of the analysis thick as thieves made months ago.
He really was miles ahead of the game. He was a political genius really.
If only Dave had paid closer attention to TaT’s analysis he wouldn’t be in the shit is he is now.
Innit.
I am just about to get banned by the arch tory Guido Fawkes
Fawkes never gave a damn about the expenses scandal, he only used it as cover to act as a propagandist for the tories
now the general election is so close Guido is sweating like a rapist and the reader should expect no impariality from this place from here-on-in.
Fawkes is a tory fifth columnist.
end of story
still going to be a hung parliament Guido and when that happens I will return to gloat

Oh dear, I was beginning to think that TaT had found himself a nice fella and settled down collecting teapots or summat. Unfortunately, he’s still clinically insane.
He has settled down with Sandy
Which means Bingle and Mr Fawkes must be insane to.
In fact it probably means everyone is insane apart from you.
I think I see a flaw in your logic.
And Mr Fawkes has responded to that post tat made by posting more balanced pieces such as this thread, for fear of being labelled a Tory stooge.
After all, nobody wants to be associated with a loser like Cameron, now do they?
And so, even though he is no longer with us, TaT remains the most influential political analysist on the blogosphere, he continues, even in his absence, to set the tone of the debate.
He truly is a political genius.
This place is lesser for him not being here.
But let us not get too despondent, he did promise to return to gloat when a hung parliament is returned after the General Election.
I wish to join the great ones blog.
Message to David Cameron:
1. Slash and Burn
2. Poisoned Chalice
Labours malicous gift to the British people.
Labour (god how I hate that vomit inducing word) know, without doubt, that they are facing a catastrophic disaster at the next election.
If the conservatives win the election they will have to deal with a financial crisis such as has never been seen before. Very, very hard times ahead. It will take the electorate a liftime to forget what is ahead. History MUST be allowed to show exactly who was responsible for bringing this great country to it’s knee’s!
So for god’s sake, we owe it to our children, let Labour win. Because who ever wins this next election will be forever remembered forever as the ‘Party of Cuts’
They wont be making the cuts, the IMF will. Incapability Brown wont want to upset his union paymasters so he will pass responsibility of mass job losses, power cuts and bread queues to someone else if the tories don’t get in.
Yep, it’s them dam yanks again!!!!!
EU CHIEF VOWS TO RUN OUR ECONOMY FROM BRUSSELS
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/161609/EU-chief-vows-to-run-our-economy-from-Brussels
The EU is now starting to use the new powers granted by the Lisbon treaty to take even more power and sovereignty from the nation states. The EU are now investigating how to grab powers over taxation, powers over our economy and powers over prosecutions. All this power is being grabbed by unelected appointees in the EU. This is a text book definition of dictatorship.
Unless the tories vow to take these powers back, even if that means withdrawing from the EU entirely, then they are making themselves utterly unelectable for then they are just as impotent as labour.
Have you read the dystopian novel ‘Mister’ by Alex Kurtagic describing a nightmare Europe in the year 2022?
It’s horrifying stuff, brilliantly written and already happening more and more every day. I expect it will be banned soon by the Thought Police.
http://alexkurtagicofficial.blogspot.com/2009/05/mister-by-alex-kurtagic.html
It is a rare book to find in the shops and to buy online you know, me thinks he upset some high up people by writing that book.
Bloody expensive, even for a hard-back.
And I’m not sure that I want to pay £30 for a book that was so warmly reviewed by white nationalist websites.
Hilton’s election strategy is a bit like watching a car crash in slow motion plus all those young things running around who lesrnt their politics from West Wing.
I could never understand a bloody word of dialogue in “West Wing”. As for the lighting the sets looked like they were lit with a very dim candle.
Perhaps the live leaders’ debates will be the last chance saloon for Cameron. Maybe he can yet pull it off, but I suspect Dimbleby and co will load the odds against him. Also Brown and Clegg will have a joint strategy to rubbish the Tories.
The Lib-Lab pact was evident at PMQs this week. Hague had Harman reeling then Vince Cable came to her aid and asked Harman two questions about Ashcroft.
Unfortunately the slimey government we’re living under will plagiarize any detail policy information the conservatives may come up with at the moment..they still have a ‘possible’ budget to use to lay a flush busting claim to fiscal ideas although if they lose no reality of passing the bill..but the perception seed of intent can often be enough to make the public believe their rubbish.
When the date is called the Tories have to pick up the attack pace using the past performance argument to destroy the labour record completely and hammer out tory mantras that win elections…. growth from stimulating business,education reform,border control (not xenophobia), sensible plan to reduce the borrowing debt over the first parliament and scything through quangos,over manning in the public sector,cut back grandiose public infra-structure projects..the lot..bite the bullet hard.In that way they demonstrate they are not planning more of the same but are intending to be radical.
I don’t think the electorate need convincing Brown and this crew are a shambles … they already know it but when the starting gun fires for the GE they do need to see the tories light a fuse of hope for the future.
on another note who do you believe General Lord Guthrie & Admiral Lord Boyce or cyclops answers on a postcard pls
will Mandy request an inquiry into their appointment to the Lords? BROWN I FUCKIN LOATH YOU WITH EVERY FIBRE IN MY BODY
none of the above

It unravels because they are fucking liars just like liebour.And that has been the way of all politics from inception to now,and it will always be that way no matter what the party.

Unelected Cathy Ashton is the laughing stock of Europe. She is clearly not qualified for the job of representing Europe around the world, but she earns 328,000 a year tax-free. No wonder that husband Peter Kellner’s organisation Yougov keep showing favourable polls for Labour.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1255840/How-Cathy-Ashton-laughing-stock-EU.html
She is doing a stunning job and taking the spotlight off the rest of us. Since Blair scrapped your rebate, and we have kicked CAP reform into the long grass for another 10 years, better we laugh at her and you pay for it (in euros).
I can’t recall anyone ever being so unqualified for such a high powered job since Caligula’s horse.
Nayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i’m insulted
Why was a woman who likes Daleks (especially those called Peter), but knows nothing about diplomacy, foreign affairs or security and whose CV highlight was almost bankrupting Hertfordshire Health given the job of EUSSR High Representative worth £328,000 a year?
A) Because the EUSSR is an extremely expense clown show.
b) Because the real power is with the Trade and Finance Commissioners.
c) To make Von Rumpey look charasmatic and dynamic.
d) Because Gordon wanted to piss off Bliar, BananaBoy and Mandy
e) Because Gordon wanted Yougov to produce some fictious polls to make it look like at least some people still supported Labour.
f) All of the above
Incitatus was a diplomatic genius in comparison with incompetent Cathy.
A message from the electorate – we are entirely pissed off with the current fuckwits – Forget what the media tells you. This country is in deep shit because of touchy feely policies and mad spending. Give a tough message. Don’t die wondering – or leave us in the same boat. Don’t try to match Labour’s media management -appeal to the taxpayers(the few that are left) more directly.
Stop letting them set the agenda. No need to respond to the self serving c’unts unless you want to be the same. If you do tell us and we will consign you to the same dustbin as them.
Labour should be locked up for their management of the country over the past twelve years. Enough is enough.If you are the same as them,why bother to vote you in?
PS you will not get a Blair honeymoon period if you get in so for fuck’s sake come up with solid policies and stick to them.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Who do you trust to do a better job when they can’t spend more money:
Were’s the policies you little Etonian C-unt waft?
Happy reading!

That is not policy it’s just a load of generalised cockwaffle about climate change, vacuous and empty politically correct mood music and sanctimonious hypocrisy.
That reeks of left wing bollocks!
A section on climate change??? WTF?? Are the tories going to fit a dimmer switch to the sun?
And why a section on women? Where is the corresponding section on Men???
More politically correct racial, sexual and hetero-phobic bollocks from another copycat clone of newlabour, issuing “soft” left dogma and preparing to continue the IDENTICAL agenda, slavishly serving their elitist new world order masters in the Global Banking elite establishment and fuck the people who elect them.
The Conservative Party. FUCK THEM TO HELL the treasonous BASTARDS!
They are run by the SAME third way Marxists who infiltrated and took over the labour party and destroyed them from the inside, replacing them with the treasonous fucking dipshit wanker twats who are killing this nation.
woof woof labour poll rating higher woof woof

Ladies and Gentlemen Captain Cameron regrets our unfortunate enconter with that iceberg in January could you now all please head to your lifeboat station. Please remember women, children and old Etonians first, also those with a Notting Hill postcode will have express boarding priority. Strictly no steerage or second class. Could the catering department please load the Harrods hampers and refreshments into Mr Cameron’s lifeboat first as he has a very important meeting to attend and needs to leave first.
Thank you for your understand and for travelling with the Conservative party, sadly this sucker is going down.

Of course it’s a pure coincidence that I’ve made a surprise visit to Iraq one day after appearing before the Chilcot Inquiry. Suggesting otherwise would be very cynical and insulting to me and my moral compass.
Everyone has to ask themselves just WHY did Cameron lie and cheat us out of a referendum on the illegal EU constitution?
He lied and then tried to cover up the lies by blaming others, then he added insult to injury saying there was no point in a referendum as the EU slavery charter was a done deal(not to us it aint).
Cameron knows full well that our sovereignty belongs to US and nobody else, we are a sovereign nation untill WE decide otherwise by democratic ballot.
The simple law that ‘no government can bind its successor’ simply means that if Cameron is elected he can offer a referendum on the illegal constitution and IF we reject it he CAN pass a simple law through through both houses called the ‘repatriation of sovereign powers act’ simple and quick and there is not a damn thing the eurotrash can do to stop it short of sending their mighty federal army through the tunnel!
If Cameron is reading this, stop fucking lying to us! We know the truth and we have you sussed, the only reason we are not getting a vote is because you damn well know that you and your eurotrash comrades would lose, we know that you want this illegal treaty as much as Brown and Clegg.
I hope you lose Dave and I hope your eurotrash bosses throw you in the ditch where you belong.
hear hear
Seconded. Motion carried. we will leave the EU with immediate effect!
Are the bleeding heart PC brigade happy now that their murdering pal Jon Venables has been accused of a serious sexual assault? Are they still going to defend their passionate defence of spending hundreds of thousands giving him and the other c/unt new identities, houses, days out to theme parks?
All that trendy, right-on, PC rehabilitation has, as all intelligent people predicted, come to nothing. Once a criminal piece of scum, always a criminal piece of scum. No doubt an army of bleeding fart idiots will appear by his side in court to help him avoid any punishment for the sexual assault.
Jon Venables must be buried alive in a very deep hole.
A shallow one will do. I have read the details of what he did to that child. He deserves nothing and should no longer be among us.
The Tories have a problem which is indicated by Guido’s article above — if they come out with a specific and well-received policy at this stage, the Labour party immediately pilfer it and try to pretend they thought of it first (IHT, anyone?). The Tories would do best to wait until the GE is called and then produce their detailed policies, at which stage it will be difficult for Labour or the Lib Dems to steal them.
The other problem the Tories have is that the only policy which will be needed after the next election is one to cut government spending (or state-squandering, as it ought to be described). Any specific detail on that in advance is likely to lose the votes of public-sector employees, benefit claimants, and the rest of New Labour’s client state.
As the BBC is the official spokesperson for all of those elements in our society, it would also be sensible to wait until after a Tory government is elected before announcing the reduction or abolition of the TV Licence tax. Just a phrase in the manifesto about “reforming the broadcasting services and reducing the burden on the taxpayer” would be sufficient, by way of advance notice.
No! We cannots have a Tory government! They will stop me preaching hate whilst living off benefits! Votes Labour! Allah akbaaaaaaaaar!
spot on raptor
For two top generals and many others to say Gordon was being economical with the truth…or lying to you and me…about not having refused any request from the military may well be technically true as without doubt there would be many steps before final approval was sought from the Chancellor and one of those filters would have been budget constraints that put items out of court before they were even suggested to be requested.
In the same way Brown saying he did not know Blair had pledged to stand by the Yanks ‘as and when’ and didn’t know of the doubts as to legality expressed by the attorney general is not credible.
Please to be votings Labour so I can continue to force my wives to wearing the face veils, starve my 7 year old daughter to deaths, perform female circumcisions, and carry out honors killings!

Why is Brown suddenly announcing that he’s now going to fund the Army to replace the Snatch Land Rovers. Didn’t he say at the Inquest yesterday that he’d given the Forces everything they needed already?
He also said that the Army’s use of Snatch Land Rovers was a decision made by the Generals, and nothing to do with him.
No doubt it has occurred to readers of this blog that the Generals used Snatch Land Rovers because they did not have the money for something more appropriate, having had their budgetary requests beaten down or refused by the Treasury in the years immediately preceeding the Afghan conflict.
Ditto helicopters.
The Beeb had some Liebour loving droid on today “A defence expert” who was happy to put the record straight he pointed out the fact that our boys had to use Landrovers in Iraq due to there being a lot weak bridges,well that cleared that up then.
That ‘ defence expert ‘ btw, had no actual military experience. Still, what does that matter in Browns Britain.
The campaign against Speaker Bercow gains more momentum.
Don’t split the Farage vote, he’s the one who’ll get rid of Bercow if anyone does.
Slightly O/T but maybe the Tories should put this in their election blurb just to take the piss out of McTwat :
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to give us a future fair for all
Rejected on the grounds that “It doesn’t actually request any action”.
Poor old Dave and Gideon.
Guess it’s back to oblivion then!
Never mind, can’t win everything old chap!
The Tories have just quadrupled their lead from 2% to 8% you fucking idiot.
Do the Tories still stand by their core values?
If they do, they should make it quite clear that they do, and remind everybody what they are. The appearance is that they have been abandoned in favour of trendy, frothy meaningless platitudes.
Voters don’t want political theory, they want to know how and whether policies will improve their lives and the lives of the older and younger generations they care for.
Voters need to be told what the consequences of the budget deficit and labour policies will be on them and their families. In simple and direct terms.
Public sector workers need to clearly undestand that whoever is elected they will face the possibility of redundancy. They need to be told how policies will affect their chances of employment outside the state sector and how they might influence the progression of a rewarding and secure career in industry or commerce.
Those state sector employees who are not made redundant need to be told that for the first time in their lives as state employees they will be treated with respect and encouraged to participate with management in the improvement of services.
State sector management might even begin to think of job satisfasction as something that is as important, if not more important than salary.
The Conservatives need to give everybody good and compelling reasons to vote for them, and they have not done so.
Do the Conservatives still have core values? (Most of their natural supporters do.)
Or – like Nulabour, but in a different way – are they just a slick PR outfit?
Great comment. We’re in a situation where the Tories are no longer conservative, and Labour don’t represent workers. All main parties both here and the US are controlled by the debt monster banksters, so will never SERVE the public. There is only one solution… revolution!
I’ve said it before. Parliament needs a good kicking, else this will be the last election we have.
Look beyond that to the Bondholders and you have the correct target.
Who was really bailed out when the banks went bust?
Who dumped their non-perming assets onto the taxpayer at far above the market rate?
Who wants as much debt as possible?
Who will now raise the rates they get paid (by you).
First and foremost, Labour needs a good kicking. We can worry about the Tories and Lib Dems later. The priority is to remove Labour, or face economic disaster and decades of penury.
I totally agree, Labour must be consigned to the dustbin of history, once and for ever. Tories have got to get their act together sharpish, else there’ll be a massive swing to UKIP. I’m off to UKIP cos Dave has failed in opposition, and the kippers have some decent policies.
The EU is a socialist monstrosity and it will block every reform needed to get this country back on its feet.
We need a St George to slay the EU Dragon before the work can begin.
Someone with courage, principles and true qualities of leadership.
Bungle sorry Bingle might have a reservation about Tory policy but its better than having a reservation at Rehab like Purcell.

I’ve been out canvassing one of the most marginal seats in the country for 6 weeks and can vouch for the following:
All main 3 parties have lost support due to expense gate
Labour’s vote, however, has disintegrated
The Conservative’s vote is least affected and way ahead of Labour’s
The vast majority hate Brown
Most people want a change of govt to the Conservatives
Even UKIP and BNP voters are planning to oust Brown by voting Conservative
In short, the polls are wrong
I can concur that, on the doorstep expenses play a big part in peoples minds, however many think the tories were quicker of the mark, and they would be more likely to clean things up, most people hate Brown and Mandleson, and would rather not vote than vote for more of the same. It’s no good commenting if your not knocking on doors, and hearing it first hand, I have to say I dont feel any resentment to the Tories, just apathy, I do hear a lot of resentment about Brown.
I think he’s toast whatever the outcome. People simply dont like him.
Will someone love me or at least wank me off? I feel like committing suicide more and more these days.
Have you had your five a day?
When I was 15, I prayed for something like this to happen to me.

Some footage has now been released of what happened in that Manchester Hotel.

The above is something you’d laugh at on the Daily Mash though!
It’s not just the proliferation of internet porn, the emasculation of males in society that has progressively taken place since the sixties has also played a large role in this.
Usually when this happens its a bit of a Munster but this one’s pretty fit!

I have some sympathies for the Conservatives position , in jan David went on some policy annoucements , normally a party like Labour with its pants so round its ankles , would have plumbed for the “snap” election , gone to its core vote and hoped to stave off the ravages of opposition parties making further inroads. Lord hattersleys all to clever remark of saying labour was going to loose , was the continuation of cynical scorched earth with the nations finaces . With the libs operating behind the scenes, the tactics since Jan have been about disrupting the message .the Libs have put out very little policy with any detail and also have dithered on the debt problem.
The ruin has been hoping for better figures , but this so called edge comes into question when you start thinking about what the growth will look like ,when carrying such a large ammount of debt ,not just at election time but in the many years ahead . People may well be shuffling about with submerged optomism wondering what all the fuss is about , wrongly thinking that at some point the debt will not come into to play on eroding growth .
The ruin plays on this question in part because he says its the right policies for the country and then claims debt worries are overblown , running a substanceless disenegnous spoiler designed to trick millions of voters into thinking hes somehow solved the problem , when all he has really done is delayed greater pain .We have just had a bought of devaluation and no doubt inflation will follow due to our imports .
campaign wise the ruin is commiting mass voter fraud , on the truth , the public literally have no truth to vote on , they groan in westminster palace about how rubbish Labours policy explantion and detail is , but pity the poor voter , who are give labour cosy fairy stories to make up there mind about .
the budget cuts in real terms have never been done in this country since modern politics was birthed , somthing like 14-24% cuts are required in real terms (will self on QT) , and the ruin is attempting to deaden all the flack he should be getting come judgement day , by some blaise spin trickery that a dynamic motivational message will cure any fear tactics about the debt . He may also thinks that making Dave wait will stop him from campigning or hope a hung parliament fear may cut CGHQs big spend to save some till later .
low poll leads may not be suggesting anything more than people dont have much to make there minds up upon , its frustrating but not disastrous by any means . Conservative policies/beliefs are badly needed to turn this country around , the ruin is just hoping it will have turned a trivial corner .
CW thinks if you wait at a bus stop long enough a bus turns up , the question is do you want to take the ruins journey , of possiblies.maybees , uncertanties , dithering and being left with an even bigger bill to get you home safe , if it all blows up ? That isnt scaring the voter its just the ruins lack of credibility .
Musings from a non-tory in Middle Britain.
Peter Bingle has a point? Does he?
Anybody listen to gutlessgordon’s serial lies yesterday before the Chilcot Inquiry.? I did. Since labour have been been in power we’ve committed our troops to two Major Wars . And yet gordon when he moved into the PM’s job firstly appointed a part-time Defence Secretary/ part-time Scottish Secretary person and then appointed full-time the worthless Aintbustigagut.
1) The tories need to announce that whilst we have current Wars ongoing they will appoint a War Cabinet and a Strong Defence Secretary whose sole purpose is to protect the welfare of our troops. I think cameron has gone some of the way towards that . gordon frankly couldn’t give a damn about anything to do with Defence. The tories need to stress this point!
2) Education – the swedish theory – giving power to the parents – its a great idea – and it contrasts starkly with edbalsl and his communist state control /throw money at it ideas. The tories need to promote it better!
3) The economy – gordon ‘ spend!spend!spend! brown as opposed to cameron’s we must spend ‘what we earn’ and cut the deficit. We need to hear that more often!
4) Welfare – cameron.s view that “if you are on welfare and are fit to work – and you are offered work and chose not to take it- then you will no longer be able to claim benefit ” is absolutley the right message!!!
The tories shoud not take any notice of YouGove – it is a labour oriented poll that has no relationship to Middle Britain – and that is the ground that has to be won by whichever party that is going to govern!!!
Peter and Guido I think you are wrong!!
Conservatives should perhaps consider themselves lucky compared to Icelanders when it comes to being smeared by Brown’s Bullshit Contractors.
Yesterday R4 Toady covered the Iceland referendum on the stitch-up being foisted on them by the combined Anglo/Dutch/EU/IMF money power, but they allowed a referendum organizer to explain some issues, not least that they are extremely pissed off that Iceland is mentioned alongside Alky Aida as terrorists. This was useful as the MSM reporting on Iceland is poor to the point of propaganda.
Evidently that brief expose of the Iceland situation displeased someone very much, as today Toady were obliged to mention the referendum again. This time offering the “corrective measure” of curtly dissing the referendum as pertaining to a situation that was no longer the case. Their message to the Icelandic people: “you are irrelevant, your democracy is irrelevant, your referendum is irrelevant, and we rather think your government is irrelevant, as we will first have them sign the deal, then we will have them in the EU”.
The Conservatives are not yet being delegitimized by the BBC in that way, merely deprecated rather severely. Should the BBC take that step though, the delegitimized state of democracy in the UK will be fully exposed to the light.
http://wikileaks.org/
This government could still be brought down over the Iceland affair, there is some nasty documents waiting to be released.
“The Conservatives are not yet being delegitimized by the BBC”
Oh no? Last week on the BBC Look East report on Cambridge (Lib Dem MP David Howarth is stepping down) they speculated about the stiff competition the Libs would face from Labour and the Greens.
And that was it. Conservatives who came third in 2005 with 17% of the vote were not mentioned at all. The Greens got just 2%. According to BBC Look East the Conservatives are an irrelevance.

Hung Parliament?? ……………………I’ll get some rope
I wish to endorse David Cameron to become the next Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Does that help?
Me too
I suspect that Sarkozy, Merkel and Obama would, for once, enthusiatically agree with his point of view.!!!
I would think so Robert. After all your economy is in expansion whilst Mr Brown’s is in recession.
The soldier killed yesterday not yet named, but all his family and friends know now is Jonny Allott of Dorset,originally south sheilds.
RIP Jonny. We owe you.
Its pretty simple really Cameron keeps on backtracking and making promises he cannot or will not keep, the result is pretty simple, those like me, Maggies Children, wil simple not work for an articulate airhead. Thats where they are losing and will continue to.
Absolutely right – but the just can`t see it.
Gordon laying it on thick. Until his very recent conversion this prolific bean counter had nothing in common with our service personnel.
Cameron 5% to the right of Blair!!!! More like Blair 10% to the right of Cameron.
Cameron is a waste of space. The Tories have been betrayed (and possibly destroyed)
Cameron was a Tory riposte to Blair, what the Tories need now is 17 stone ‘Scot-like figure’ with a thunder-thighed Beard convenience in tow like Liebour have.
Step forward Eric and take the stump with ‘your partner of choice’, no Mandy or Oaten please!

Oh Dear the dysfunctional fat gordo is in Afghanistan again, tying up scarce resources that should be used to protect our troops, as he tries to bolster his election chances!!
Look at the pictures!! I’m shocked at how fat he has become – his trousers are struggling to stay ahoist beneath a very significant paunch. It’s a very provocative statement of good living whilst our lads are fighting for their lives in Afghanistan!!
But surely the little shit goes for 3 mile runs?
Remember the famous picture of the devil with his bodyguard who was there to protect any women from being h*it by Brown
Nell,this is the man who in the past couldn’t give a toss for the military based on his starvation of funds for them over the years.
Ex Defence chiefs have just lambasted him over his Oscar winning performance in front of the Chilcott Jelly Team.
Now showing at a cinema near you Mcbust in Afghanistan offering bloody platitudes to the army,more armoured vehicles,more modern metal detectors,100% more helicopters so that means 12 I suppose,oh and by the way lads you will have the vehicles at the end of 2011.
This power crazy madman is the biggest liability that this fair land has ever seen with his incompetence,his political skullduggery and his complete disregard of anything that impedes his lust for power.
He thinks that his latest disgraceful purely political stunt in Afghanistan will garner him some respect and of course votes,think again McMental you are a busted flush and if I had my way I know were that flush would be and it would not be in a card game.
OT,I see that Barroso the EUSSR EL PRESIDENTE from that wonderfully in the black country Portugal is spouting in his usual marxist manner that the EUSSR via the Lisbon Stitchup that the EUSSR will take over fiscal policy throughout the EUSSR countries,what does that tell you people of what is now going to happen,since Bannanarama Millipede signed us up to this bunch of EUSSR marxists,and Gordoom who also signed but who didn’t even have the bottle to do it openly.
Finally folks I know Cameron is faceing an uphill struggle with virtually all the MSM spinning against him on every bit of tittle tattle they can dredge up,but the main issue is how we put this LIEBOUR bunch of Marxists out of business.
Forget the other parties Eg: UKIP/BnP they are also rans,the battle is LAB vs CONS,I say vote for change we cannot go on like this we are broke and massively in debt the plastic has run out under this profligate spend,spend Liebour maladministration,who are saying they are carrying on with this Kami Karzi policy.
Absolute nutters the lot of them and may they rot in hell for bringing this once proud country to it’s knees.
Wonder if his makeup was running in the heat.
The main thing to remember is that we’ve got to ensure the rich stay rich no matter who suffers in the process. After all, they are much much better people than the rest of us.
Not at all.
Labour’s most important goal is to ensure that we have a constant supply of non-working, single mother’s, producing impoverished, uneducated children whilst drawing ever increasing £benefits from the state.
That is labour’s legacy to the redistribution of wealth!!!!
It’s BOTH.
Zanu-Labour want to be rich rent-seekers, and they create a load of poor rent-seekers to deflect the blame.
Somewhat ironic then that the rich have become richer, and the poor, poorer this last 10 years – and all under a supposedly socialist government. They are incompetent.
Period.
FACT
Dave has changed his mind every day since the year began. Why would anyone vote for him?
FACT
whatever Dave is he is a million times better than Snotty Mcbroon, who stole our pensions, flogged off our gold and has bankrupted the country with his profligate spending, trying to buy votes by increasing the public sector by circa 1 million.
Vote Gordon and get an absolute Cvnt.
Vote Dave and get ?????????
Picking a big snot, lying to Chilcot, then flying to a hot spot.
Bloody Nora. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Very few are less politically sophisticated than I, but even this little air-head and former Tory voter predicted the slide of the Tories – and against the worst Government I can remember in my sixty years (and we’ve had some bad ‘uns). One couldn’t make it up. The Tories deserve to be shot alongside Brown and his cronies. None of the buggers give a toss about our Nation and its people.
gordon’s view is that everyone else, not him, is to blame for his policy decisions.
Blame the Americans. the French, the Germans, the British Generals, the Troops, gordon’s own Minister’s, the Tories( even though they’re not in power) , the LibDems (even though they’ll never be in power), and on and on…… Anyone but gordon……………….
gordon’don’t blame me’ brown – I am blameless. I am the son of the manse with a battered moral compass. And everything I do is the right thing to do!!!
Nell,and just what is this moral compass that you refer to,this guy McMental couldn’t lie straight in bed.
Read this without trying to think about what we know about Brown…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malignant_narcissism
Is Brown’s flak jacket I saw in the Times Online photo fit for purpose? No chance in giving it a test , is there? You know, 500 rounds from an AK47 at close range. Just to make sure he’s not in any danger. I would not like him to go on the front-line if there was any danger he could come to harm.
Any danger he could come to harm???!!
Don’t worry he doesn’t have the courage to get anywhere near the frontline.
He leaves the troops he has inadequately equipped to do that job!!
Nell,you might be wrong this guy McBust/McMental/McPowercrazy has written a book called courage.
Not sold a lot of copies so far maybe if they changed the cover colour from yellow to red it might do better.
I wish he would keep away from our brave lads. We all know what happens when Jonah turns up. Lets hope not.
they need to send Dave out to heal with his magical powers and stop all the killing with a soundbite
The Taliban thought of kidnapping Gordoom but then someone pointed out the fact that the only person who would want him back is Ed Balls so they thought fuck it anyhow he`s doing a better job fucking up the UK than they ever could
I know MI5/M16/SOCA etc. will be watching me now after saying this and some of you will think ‘What a fucking nutcase’ etc. etc.
But seriously, voting for UKIP & B*N*P* just to piss them off is not enough.
Honestly we need to kill some MP’s, blow them up, shoot them, stab them etc. etc. whatever but that is what needs to happen to be taken seriously.
Look at Guy Fawkes, nothing has changed from his day to today, they are still the corrupt bastards they have always been.
They only understand violence look at how quick they are to drop their pants to the IRA and muslims and give them what they want when they are threatened with a bombing.
Seriously someone needs to go out and kill a MP in broad-day light preferably in-front of the media and instead of being the usual middle England shriekers like in the Daily Mail shouting GOLLY GOSH HOW DREADFUL we need to close ranks for once as a community and say good on him/her and make a martyr out of the person.
You may think i’m taking the piss but actually i’m deadly serious.
The MP’s still to this day FEAR Guy Fawkes and Oliver Cromwell people who dared try and did make an example out of them. They FEAR the muslims and IRA because they dare to stand up against their shit.
They LAUGH at the British for the cowards we have become.
and some BBC bastards
Most of the BBC will die from Aids.
You have made a good point.
I mean, look at us, the British bastards didn’t start taking us seriously until we started lobbing a few shells straight into the cabinet office of 10 Downing Street and they had to hide behind the cabinet desk.
Worked a fucking treat.
As time creeps by, I get this awful feeling more and more….
Both Gordo and Cameron, BeLiar et al promise a referendum on the EU, because they know that people want it and it will win popularity. When it comes near to the crunch, they worm out of it. ALL THE SAME!
They all (Lab/Dem/Con) bump into each other to hold the middle ground….
ALL THE SAME!
I for one cannot place a fag paper between the lot of them, and they all seem so snake fascinated with the EU, and being the ‘ caretaker managers’ of the UK, it seems that now they all simply want to be in UK government or politics so that after a few years they can get a cushie EU job, do bugger all, and rake-in mega bucks (see Mr & Mrs Kinnock – total crap, but no doubt millionaires thanks to the EU).
This is what British politics has boiled down to.
I think the last real pro British politician was Maggie Thatcher (oh God, I feel ill saying that!), but it is true.
All we vote for now in the UK is to see who opens the letters from the European Council and tells us our new orders…. but they are greatly rewarded with nice comfy jobs for life, so why rock the boat.
Sod it, how do I get one of these jobs…
We met the wife of a very highly placed British Army officer a few months ago.
Her husband had gone over to ‘Stan twice with the Jonah.
The first time he gave Brown the benefit of the doubt as he thought the Jonah was just tired and hence disinterested in the whole thing.
It was on the second trip that he realised Brown really did not care at all.
The BBC are a joke. They are still spouting the re announcement of the new light protection vehicles as NEW when the announcement had been made previously. In fact these vehicles have been on the drawing board for a long time. But the BBC are simply spinning the lie for mong that this is a new announcement.
The army have been asking for MRAP vehicles not FRES for a long long time.
What a smokescreen for the Truth BBC “news” has become.
..and the new vehicles will be ready at the end of 2011 !!
So at a rate of, say, 3 deaths per week, that’s at least another 264 soldiers dead before they get their equipment, and another 1,000 seriously injured, of course.
Steve Purcell is apparently thinking of applying for a job at the BBC. He thinks that he will fit in well and shares a habit with most of the BBC employees.
CON 40% (37)
LAB 31% (30)

LAB>CON swing on 2005: 6%
A new ICM poll for the News of the World goes very much against the trend of the past few weeks and has the Tories increasing their lead over Labour to the psychologically key level of 40%.
The comparisons are with the last ICM in the Guardian nearly a fortnight ago.
There’s little doubt that this will provide a real boost to the Tories and might impede the hung parliament narrative. It might also add to doubts within the red camp.
The losers in this survey are Nick Clegg’s Lib Dems.
ICM has been operating in the same broad manner since the mid-1990s and was the first pollster to take radical measures after the 1992 polling disaster.
Fieldwork took place from Tuesday until Thursday.
The BBC won’t report this. McMong saved the world you Tory bastards. His birth right is to destroy England.
Nice to see fair coverage for geert Widers’ traial and his showing of the film FITNA in the house of lords yesterday – traitor wankers
The EU sucks
Odds on April election anyone?
or summer revolution
I would prefer that as an election will change nothing. There needs to be a serious uprising in the UK if we are to avoid a future of poverty and third world
status.
Steven Purcell has fled the country apparently. Will not be back for at least a year. Perhaps he has cut the middlemen right out and gone to Columbia.

His 18 year old gay lover dropped dead in town after excessive drug abuse with Steven triggered his underlying heart condition. That is why Steve has done a runner.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Will the Scotch police be pursuing him? Thought not. And the post-mortem results will be hushed up too.
Sarah Brown was sat in the bath with the candles and dildo last night relieved Gordon was away.
Jeez….Gordon seems to be everywhere at the moment…everywhere he is needed. If he’s listening (hey, this is a bit like father Christmas), I would like to test out my ABS brakes on my Honda Fireblade to see if they work. I would like him to lie down on the A21, between Orpington and M25. I could then reach a speed of around 170mph and then slam on the brakes about 5 yards before I got to him. It would really make my day Gordon. Seriously, this would win my vote.

Get the removal van ready, Gordon.
To Down With Brown,dont worry the polls as far as I am concerned are not worth a gnats chuff.
This election will be one of the most predictable in british history,the british people are so pissed off with this current lot and that is what I am hearing around the streets no one but no one has any time for this marxist bunch of traitors,I think that many people will be completely gobsmacked at what this election will produce
Bet the limp dums vote has gone to the B*N*P
Saint Cable isn’t as hot as he used to be after his little stunt with Harriet during the week and when he got slapped down over the economy a while back.
St Vince of Windsock has never had a clue about economics. He just reads out things he’s told to say.
Reprise that Andrew Neil interview. I loathe him as much as Brown.
Vince cuddles up to Labour, Lib Dem support crashes. A sign surely that voters do not want any of the other parties to prop up this moribund socialist administration.

Final thought for the night before I retire,Cameron will win the next election because the brits are really pissed off.
What he does after this will determine if he is a leader of britain or a poser,time will tell?.
Mirror on Sunday trying to claim Sam Cam likes Labour because someone who met her once says so.
BBC Radio 5 running with story despite the Conservative Party’s clear rejection of the claims.

Gordon Brown is secretly planning to put 17.5% VAT on food and grocery bills.
sarah brown secretively votes tory, secret labour source says.
she only went with brown to have children, cos she felt sorry for him.
I’m astonshed the Brits could allow communism to creep into Britain. We fought 2 world wars to preserve democracy and freedom. Wake up folks. This is a very important point in history.
I am afraid Guido misses why the Conservatives maybe percieved to be on the back foot.
Simple the Labour media operation. All this shit about the Tories not having policies is nonsense. The Media do not report policy announcements by the tories. They are not interested. In the real world this talk about Ashcroft etc is exactly that just talk.
This election is about regieme changem, part of which has been the brain washing of the chattering classes through the media. In political terms it is a type of political socialisation that has gone on. The reason why the Tories have not published their manefesto yet is because the election has not been called and parliament has not been dessolved.
I really am puzzled by those who say they dont know what the Tories stand for at this time. Simple the Conservatives are a Pro – Enterprise Party, they believe in reward and incentive, Strong Law and Order, a stronger national interest particularly in european affairs.
The only weapon Labour have is pumping the media full of negative Tory stories and trying to destablise the Tories like in 2007. Some including Guido and maybe some working in CCHQ have fallen hook line and sinker for the Labour line.
Life ain’t a rehearsal.
It’ll be alright on the night, eh?
A publicity budget of zillions and a cast of thousands, all sniffing the sweet violets, waiting for someone to get the Cameroons rolling.
Vaizey admits to making the whole thing up:
http://www.politicshome.com/uk/article/6307/embarrassed_vaizey_rows_back_on_samantha_cameron_claim.html
And Vaizey is going to say otherwise now he’s been found out is he?
Tellingly, Vaizey omitted to explain why he would ever make such a thing it up.
Why is that?
Andrew Rawnsley was a good enough source last week but now when he gets the scoop on Cameron the stooges start looking for excuses.
All too predictable.
Expect more pretend outrage on monday night.
It is also alleged Brown may have voted Conservative
I’m with this guy and Guido. There’s no point in winning an election if you don’t get the mandate to do anything for the next five years.
Brown might be cynical, deluded and disastrous but at least you know what you’re getting.
not a good day friday…all that rehearsing and he still came over as a robot..still managed to get him off ok to Afganiland to get the pics with the troops.

Nobody seems to work out the common link.
As you say things went wrong in January – who came back to CCHQ then?
Who has previously worked for the Party 1994-97, 2004-5, 2006-7 – all periods where the Party’s poll rating declined and where factions within cco briefed against each other.
Said person departed after the ealing southall debacle, the Party’s fortunes improved and now they come back declione again.
cutting ct rates by cutting allowances? A huge transfer of resources from industry to the financial sector – is that what they mean by rebalancing the economy? Fiscal illiterates, the bunch of them…
