          liebour is a shambles

          so why is the Dave n George lead so freakin small?

          why am I having to short the £

          • Greychatter says:

            If you remember around Christmas it was predicted that the polls would show the Torys lead getting smaller. Who runs the poll companies, are they financed from Gordon’s little exercise book? Isn’t the YouGov poll boss Baroness Aston’s husband?

            Gordon’s dirty little hand is probably in everything we read in the media.

            Just use your when the time comes.

        Three major differences.

        2. The caricature has a chin.
        3. the caricature is left-handed.

        But apart from that, the caricature is a dead ringer for David Cameron.

    I really don’t think that tartan would be the ideal material from which to snort a line.

    Too much of the Charlie would get stuck in the weft of the fabric. Perhaps his council ID card would have been more appropriate. :)

    Tony says:

    Guido Did He Really Say This – Who is He?

    “You will by now have seen the statement by Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair reporting that I have withdrawn my previous acceptance of his invitation to chair the National Intelligence Council.

    I have concluded that the barrage of libelous distortions of my record would not cease upon my entry into office. The effort to smear me and to destroy my credibility would instead continue. I do not believe the National Intelligence Council could function effectively while its chair was under constant attack by unscrupulous people with a passionate attachment to the views of a political faction in a foreign country. I agreed to chair the NIC to strengthen it and protect it against politicization, not to introduce it to efforts by a special interest group to assert control over it through a protracted political campaign.

    As those who know me are well aware, I have greatly enjoyed life since retiring from government. Nothing was further from my mind than a return to public service. When Admiral Blair asked me to chair the NIC I responded that I understood he was “asking me to give my freedom of speech, my leisure, the greater part of my income, subject myself to the mental colonoscopy of a polygraph, and resume a daily commute to a job with long working hours and a daily ration of political abuse.” I added that I wondered “whether there wasn’t some sort of downside to this offer.” I was mindful that no one is indispensable; I am not an exception. It took weeks of reflection for me to conclude that, given the unprecedentedly challenging circumstances in which our country now finds itself abroad and at home, I had no choice but accept the call to return to public service. I thereupon resigned from all positions that I had held and all activities in which I was engaged. I now look forward to returning to private life, freed of all previous obligations.

    I am not so immodest as to believe that this controversy was about me rather than issues of public policy. These issues had little to do with the NIC and were not at the heart of what I hoped to contribute to the quality of analysis available to President Obama and his administration. Still, I am saddened by what the controversy and the manner in which the public vitriol of those who devoted themselves to sustaining it have revealed about the state of our civil society. It is apparent that we Americans cannot any longer conduct a serious public discussion or exercise independent judgment about matters of great importance to our country as well as to our allies and friends.

    The libels on me and their easily traceable email trails show conclusively that there is a powerful lobby determined to prevent any view other than its own from being aired, still less to factor in American understanding of trends and events in the Middle East. The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth. The aim of this Lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a veto over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its views, the substitution of political correctness for analysis, and the exclusion of any and all options for decision by Americans and our government other than those that it favors.

    There is a special irony in having been accused of improper regard for the opinions of foreign governments and societies by a group so clearly intent on enforcing adherence to the policies of a foreign government – in this case, the government of Israel. I believe that the inability of the American public to discuss, or the government to consider, any option for US policies in the Middle East opposed by the ruling faction in Israeli politics has allowed that faction to adopt and sustain policies that ultimately threaten the existence of the state of Israel. It is not permitted for anyone in the United States to say so. This is not just a tragedy for Israelis and their neighbors in the Middle East; it is doing widening damage to the national security of the United States.

    The outrageous agitation that followed the leak of my pending appointment will be seen by many to raise serious questions about whether the Obama administration will be able to make its own decisions about the Middle East and related issues. I regret that my willingness to serve the new administration has ended by casting doubt on its ability to consider, let alone decide what policies might best serve the interests of the United States rather than those of a Lobby intent on enforcing the will and interests of a foreign government.

    In the court of public opinion, unlike a court of law, one is guilty until proven innocent. The speeches from which quotations have been lifted from their context are available for anyone interested in the truth to read. The injustice of the accusations made against me has been obvious to those with open minds. Those who have sought to impugn my character are uninterested in any rebuttal that I or anyone else might make.

    Still, for the record: I have never sought to be paid or accepted payment from any foreign government, including Saudi Arabia or China, for any service, nor have I ever spoken on behalf of a foreign government, its interests, or its policies. I have never lobbied any branch of our government for any cause, foreign or domestic. I am my own man, no one else’s, and with my return to private life, I will once again – to my pleasure – serve no master other than myself. I will continue to speak out as I choose on issues of concern to me and other Americans.”

He couldn’t even trot off to the sandpit again in a face-saving distraction (and a highly unsucessful one) to counter the Chilcot effect without taking our cheque book with him. What a contemptible bastard that man truly is, and particularly one who holds the military in such deep contempt that he tried to fund two wars on a peacetime budget.

    90 Minutes after giving evidence to Chilcot Brown was off to “grandstand and play politics” in Afghanistan where he grandiosely made the announcement(which could as well been made by the MoD in London)that he will be supplying the forces with additional Snatch Land Rovers much fanfare in the friendly media,

    But….hang on….wait a minute.Have the gallant “hacks” learnt nothing from watching Brown give his Budget Speeches.The unexpected announcement which soon unravels as you read the small print.

    It seems the MoD has only authorised half the number of vehicles announced and what the Army Chiefs requested. Never mind another day in the “non-election campaign” as Brown flies on to another phot-op which is really all that matters at the end of the day….isn’t it ?

        IWD has always had close ties to the fashion industry.

        Today, IWD is an official holiday in China, Russia and Vietnam, among many other countries. Men give small gifts and flowers to mothers, wives, girlfriends and colleagues. On Monday, women from all over the world will be holding political rallies, business conferences, networking events, craft markets and-last but not least-fashion shows to celebrate. You can do your part by shopping.

        DVF boutiques will also host two events: Estelle is expected to attend the March 8 party in New York. Another event will be held on March 16 in Los Angeles with Mozella slated to appear. There will also be a Proud to be Woman tote bag, for $35.

      Mainstream feminism has attempted to reduce March 8th to a vague and depoliticized celebration of the female sex as a homogenous group, but to socialists and working class women the world over, it as a day for mobilizing. International Working Women’s Day was instituted on the proposal of Clara Zetkin at the second International Conference of Women Socialists, held in Copenhagen in 1910, with the aim of mobilizing women for the struggle against capitalist domination.

    The Communist Liebour Party also described as “complete rubbish” a report yesterday claiming that the party has chosen a “famous five” – Campbell, McBride, Mandelson, Harman,(only four really, because as we all know, Liebour can’t add up) – to front the election campaign and that other figures, such as shadow chancellor elect, Testis, were being sidelined.

    Martin Day says:

    David Cameron and Lord Ashcroft shared a table at a lavish fundraising banquet just weeks before the secretive peer admitted he dodges tax, Martin Day can reveal.

    Mr Cameron’s cosy evening with the Tories’ biggest donor at the dinner in aid of election campaign coffers is a huge embarrassment as the leader desperately tries to distance himself from the “Lord Cashcroft” scandal.

    Tories blame the fiasco on their former leader William Hague, who proposed the billionaire’s peerage.

    But Martin Day said: “David Cameron would rather take the money and ask no questions, just like William Hague did before him.”

    As a service to readers of this blog I have reproduced this article in full

    Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is due to accuse David Cameron of resorting to “a crude form of blackmail” in stoking up fear of “economic meltdown” if the Conservatives fail to win the upcoming general election outright.

    Mr Clegg will compare the threat to a “protection racket” and accuse David Cameron of trying to win the election by fear.

    As the value of the pound fell last week, Tories blamed market concerns about the possibility of a hung Parliament and uncertainty about the direction of Britain’s economy. Shadow business secretary Kenneth Clarke warned voters not to “elect themselves into a financial crisis”.

    Mr Clarke warned that a fourth Labour term would leave Britain “at the mercy of the bond markets and international finance”, causing interest rates to soar and the pound to be “sent on a downward spiral”.

    Speaking to Liberal Democrat workers today, Mr Clegg will say: “The Conservatives are so desperate that they have resorted to a crude form of blackmail.

    “David Cameron and George Osborne are stoking up fears in the markets, actively trying to destabilise the pound and reduce the Government’s ability to borrow.

    “It’s like a protection racket: vote for us or our friends in the City will lay waste to your economy, your savings and your job.”

    And he will say that scaremongering about the economy is part of a wider Conservative strategy of negative campaigning.

    “There is nothing positive in the Conservatives’ election strategy,” Mr Clegg will say. “It’s built entirely on the hatred of Gordon Brown, stoking up fears of a broken society and now threatening economic meltdown.

    “It’s a strategy that is completely negative and without hope, and it’s becoming increasingly obvious that people aren’t going to fall for it.”

    1. Last Monday sterling lost nearly 4 cents against the dollar in ONE DAY.

    2. Sterling is now down 6% in ONE MONTH.

    3. Sterling has shed 4% in FIVE WEEKS.

    4. At over 13% of GDP we have the largest defecit of any major economy.

    5. In this quarter investment by British firms is down 24% on the same quarter in 2009.

    So why the conspiracy of silence from the BBC as our enfeebled country hobbles from one crisis to another, each worse than the one before? Presumably they have taken a vow of silence when it comes to the governmental crimes of the stinking cesspit that is NuLiebour.

      “why the conspiracy of silence from the BBC”?

      Last roll of the dice for the collectivist thinkers there: they know full well whatever platitudes Dave is emitting pre-election the game will be up for them as an organisation in its current form should he get in. I suspect the Beeb is worth at least 10% to Labour, or more precisely -10% to the Tories, and Labour know that and so do the BBC. A symbiotic relationship if ever there was one.

    In this mornings Telegraph;

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/7392853/Michael-Farmer-the-man-known-as-Mr-Copper-is-glad-to-give-his-brass-to-the-Tories.html

    “Farmer says he’s not fussed about being labelled ‘God Squad’ or an over-powerful trader: he’s never felt it necessary to speak out publicly before. But the Ashcroft row has finally provoked him. “I was watching the TV on Ashcroft and listening to all the accusations about City fat cats funding the political parties trying to further themselves,” he told The Daily Telegraph. “You can call me a City fat cat if you want but I’m not giving away my hard-earned money for fun. I’m giving it away because I want to fund something I genuine believe: that Cameron and the Tories will be a far better Government for the country than Labour. I’ve always tried to keep a low profile but this is important.”

    Farmer’s motivation is not the City or even the economy, but society.

    “In my view, Labour has governed incredibly badly,” he says. “The tax and benefits structures put in place under Labour have not created a strong society, they’ve done the opposite. They’ve just encouraged unhappy lives. The core unit of society – husband, wife, parents, children – have been dismantled. Ed Balls has suggested that the idea of ‘family’ is Victorian. Give me a break. Families have been around forever, all around the world. This isn’t Victorian, this is how society works best. Labour’s idea of a family is three people who share a fridge.”

    Amid a mounting row over the “aggressive secularism” of Labour’s Equality Bill, last week Cameron pledged to make the family a focus of the Tory campaign. He has not yet given any details but The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), a think tank set up by Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader, has plenty of ideas at the ready.

    The group has identified the so-called “couple trap” in the benefit system whereby you can claim more as a single person than as one half of a couple. It has proposed an overhaul of the welfare system to simplify the benefits in a move that it says could save £3.4bn a year.

    It’s a movement that prompted Farmer to up his donations to the Tories from one of £10,000 in 2001 to regular cheques of around £250,000 a quarter.

    “I met Cameron around 2006 and we spoke about importance of the family,” says Farmer. “I suppose you can be cynical about politicians but I felt his response was genuine and I have felt the same ever since.”

    You could probably be just as cynical about millionaires. But Farmer has not always been as fortunate. “I had a tough up-bringing. There was a lot of alcohol around,” he says.

    Now married to Jenny with three children, Farmer is motivated by the contrast. “But for the grace of God, it could have been very different for me. But as a Christian, one is guided by how things should be. I now know the value of a family unit and how children and adults can thrive with support of each other.”

      Of course local authorities will go along with it because instead of having to having to ensure the drains are kept unblocked and the rubbish collected it`ll give them a chance to play 007 by spying on people and bossing them around even more.

      You can see what`s coming: block wardens. Each street or village having some nosy twat on a stipend from the local authority checking you`ve got your recycling in the right container or your wheelie bin is not overflowing. What a state of affairs.

    gordon, disgustingly, is imposing a news blackout on the Afghanistan War for the period of the election campaign. He’s has used the troops in Afghanistan for his tawdry photo-op and now he has no further use for them!!

    He’s banning British journalists from being embedded with Army Units in Afghanistan, banning any Army personnel from speaking about the War and no doubt telling the media that they may not report from Wootton Bassett during the election period. Our troops risk their lves every day and it is morally wrong that their bravery and sacrifices should not be kept firmly in the public eye at all times.

    During previous elections, when a War has also been waged, no other British Government has ever imposed a news black-out on the war. So why now?

    We now have the Labour controlled machine in overdrive trying to distance itself from the Purcell affair, e.g. The Times has an article in it’s Scotland section with no author which is extremely unusual. It seeks to emphasise that Labour only knew about the activities of Purcell recently, having dismissed as unbelievable the rumours swilling about for two years. The Daily Record is trying to blacken Purcell’s name further as a bad boy when for many months, indeed years, they have been hailing him as the boy wonder of the Labour party. No Labour spokesperson has come forward to speak up for Purcell. One can only assume that they headed for cover because they knew more than was being said in the papers.

    Glasgow is riddled with organised crime, property developers, leading media figures, drug dealers, night club operators, housing associations,contractors, security companies, car dealers.
