Do As They Say, Not As They Do

Earlier in the week it was the Staggers that were highlighting their intern-hypocrisy, and now as the Lib Dems head to Birmingham for Clegg’s “return to your constituencies and prepare for government” moment, they too have fallen foul of practising what they preach.

The sandalistas are debating “Proposals for Youth Employment” including:

“c) Introducing a new ‘Paid Internship’ scheme for the twelve months after the 2010 general election, paying anyone undertaking such an internship a ‘training allowance’ of £55 a week (£5 more than Jobseeker’s Allowance); and providing minimum standards for all internships, including reasonable expenses and maximum lengths.”

All very noble, the Lib Dems have long been advocates of paid internships. As ever the reality is much different. In the run up to the election Cowley Street, candidates and MPs are all looking for new staff.  You work for free, which isn’t fair and shows you can’t trust them to live up to their own policies…

    The moment you make employers pay for internships the job disappears. Look what happened to the aricled clerk/pupilage system. There used to be loads of openings now they all but dried up. I zm having to pay the law firm to take my son on as zn articles clerk. They then use my cash to pay him. They gobs ms zn I voice did consulting I pay them, they pay him. Ok I am friendly eith tbd partners and it wad the only way I could get z place for him

      That sounds very crap, but probably the way things will end up.
      Its apparently like that in other countries: if you want a professional job you have to work for nothing first.

      I remember when YTS looked crap because a couple of years before people were getting jobs as apprentices. (And people with 5 O levels got jobs at the age of 16). I’m not ancient !

      All sorted by Baroness Hayman (the peer in charge of reforming House of Lords expenses has received £200,000 in allowances over the past eight years by designating her home in Norfolk as her main address. Times).

      Peers can nomimate a caravan in West Wales as a ‘main’ residence as long as they visit once a month and pay (or someone else pays), the rent, or own it (or someone else owns it).

      So it’s perfectly AOK.

      Another Hoodie says:

      Sir William, if the minimum wage had not been introduced and if employers during the last decade had been allowed to pay a pound an hour while companies and bankers made billions of pounds of profit do you know what would happened?
      Blood on the streets Sir Waad, blood on the streets. And judging by your reactionary comments some of it would probably have been yours.
      It could be successfully argued that the minimum wage saved your life Sir Waad.

        I believe you are confusing the Minimal Wage with the Dole, Sir. And cheap, high quality heroin.

        And you always believe ‘der masshes’ swing to the Left – *your* Left – when they lose their jobs or wage-levels, even when it was a left-wing government ‘wot done it’ in the first place. A study of history and some contemporary Mass Observation could well prove you wrong.

        Careful with that fire, little posh Trotsky, it may not burn the way you wish.

        Minimum wage, maximum imbecility says:

        The minimum wage destroys by setting a morally acceptable benchmark (outside the huge black economy it fosters) which acts as a downward pressure on all unskilled wages. It removes bargaining rights for workers who could achieve 8 or 9 pounds an hour by forcing the minimum wage as morally acceptable. It is ultimately subsidised by the state by tax credits and the bureaucracy needed to administer it.

        Look at America to see how it has failed and then, objectively look at Britain.

        I work in Germany. There is no minimum wage other than the base line of basic social security.

        Unemployment, sickness etc are INSURED for, and not controlled by the hands-on state. Payments are made in relation to previous income and actuarial pressures on the fund. The Government cannot interfere.

        Minimum wage creates a massive exploited pool of labour at the unskilled level.

        Max the Impaler says:

        On the topic of minimum wages, why should an employee have to pay tax and NI when the government is forcing the employer to pay more than the market wage rate and act as unpaid tax collector ? That really rubs salt in.

        I was stopped in the street by a pollster just before the 1987 general election. She asked, ‘Do you think Margaret Thatcher is doing a good job as prime minister?’ I said ‘I’m an anarchist, I don;’t believe in prime ministers’. She said, I’ll put you down as a Don’t Know.’ Then she asked if I thought Kinnock was doing a good job as leader of the opposition. I said I hated the little ginger git. ‘I’ll put that down as a No.’

And the enormity of what he has discovered may have made him determined that whoever else may be swept away in the ensuing scandal, it will not be him.”

          Cheshire Cat says:

          I have a problem with your assumption that accumulation of wealth is a good thing. Beyond a certain point it isn’t. Capitalist theory is that the money trickles down from the wealthy. Beyond a certain point in reality the money just reverses and that water goes up that hill and the trickle down stops. So yes it is good for everyone to gain a little wealth but to get to a point where you sit on your money and it keeps making you more than you spend is not good for the economy or anyone else but the individual in question.

          • Hooters says:

            Money doesn’t magically “make more [money] than you spend”. Nor does water flow up-hill.

            You can use money to pay people to build a factory, and pay people to work in that factory, to make goods that you pay people to sell, whilst paying people to heat, light, insure, guard and maintain that factory. And you can use your profit to pay people to build another factory. And so on. This is why you’re able to have a computer, with Internet access.

          • Cheshire Cat says:

            Firstly if you think the banks are under control I think you will find you are wrong. The moral hazard has actually made it worse. Regulation now says they have a lager asset base but when the storm subsides the banks have no reason to curb the risks they take.

          • Cheshire Cat says:

            Secondly no. If you accumulate wealth that is great ! No more tsars please… I just think people might not be thinking of the consequences. You are participating in a group called society. If it is right then you are an individual and you can prosper. If your aim is to build an empire then how is that right for society? Generational wealth is where we are going. That isn’t right if you want a fair society.

          • AC1 says:

            I think you don’t understand banking and who controls the volume of credit(debit pairs) in the system.

            It’s the regulator via reserve requirements (and a bit of glass-steagal that limits inter-credit in much the same way as reserves (much better to have higher reserves than glass steagal IMHO)).

          • AC1 says:

            Why did government want vast amounts of Credit?

            Because Credit is then used for consumption, and that means lots of short term tax via VAT etc.

            Of course using credit for consumption eventually kills the economy via debt servicing as the debt isn’t used to increase productivity.

    Police will have powers to enter private homes and seize posters, and will be able to stop people carrying non-sponsor items to sporting events.

    “I think there will be lots of people doing things completely innocently who are going to be caught by this, and some people will be prosecuted, while others will be so angry about it that they will start complaining about civil liberties issues,” Chadwick said.

    “I think what it will potentially do is to prompt a debate about the commercial nature of the Games. Do big sponsors have too much influence over the Games?”

    If it is OK with everybody, I would like to claim Gordon’s Glass eye after he is executed.
    I will pass it on to my grandchildren who, in about 50 years time will appear on the Antiques Road Show with said glass eye in a cardboard box.
    The expert of the day will probably look at the eye (spooky I wouldn’t want to do that) through an eyeglass and say, ” This is Gordon Brown’s glass eye, it is worth f*ck all. He was a useless c*nt then and is a worthless c*nt now, be off with you”

          All the brothers were bright, Gordon in particular. He was selected for an experimental fast stream at Kirkcaldy Primary School, went to secondary school at 10. Took his O-levels at 14. Highers at 15. At 16 he was awarded a place at Edinburgh University to read history. Brown’s memory of himself at this time is not as a swot but as an all-rounder, “very keen on sports”. Though even here he was precocious, playing in the school rugby team at 15: “Difficult when all the other guys were 17, 18.” It may not look like it now, he says, “but back then I was very, very fit”.

          CC I don’t agree with you regarding council housing.Way back in the good old days of 1977 when the GLC was Tory and when the immigration authorities managed to keep control of our borders, council flats in London were given to single sharers.The reason was that there were thousands of empty properties across London.They were in grotty areas and had been empty for years,they were mainly pre-war blocks of flats which needed work.Council tenants on the waiting list just would not take them,they wanted new properties with central heating etc etc.I know because I managed to get one in a part of London which I certainly wouldn’t live in now.(These same blocks today are housing thousands of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants). I stayed for three years and then bought my own property.I had been gazumped twice BEFORE MRS T CAME TO POWER,she was not responsible for the price hikes in the 70s.Having a council flat helped me.I even did youth work on the estate as I was so grateful to have somewhere to live. I spent money on redecorating etc.Some of the other tenants did complain,but only the unemployed ones who did nothing all day long.They used to stand on their balconies all day gossiping.As I said with the rise in immigration all these old properties are now full to the brim with people who have no right to be in the UK. As for Mrs T,she gets blamed for everything.Many of these council properties would still be in the same families today as they would have been passed down from parents to children.The reason we do not have enough housing for the indigenous population is that there are too many people coming from overseas.Also,people expect much larger properties than was the case in the past.Divorce and family break-up has added to the problem.Same thing happened after WWII. Housing was in desperately short supply.Even today my mother complains about the Irish bringing over their huge families and displacing English people who were on the waiting list (and my mother has an Irish mother herself). My father,mother and three children lived in one room in 1949.If you had only one or two children you didn’t stand a chance of getting decent housing.My aunt and uncle waited 13 years to be re-housed.Same today.So very little changes.
          I can only praise the Tory GLC for giving me and other single people somewhere to live.

          Do not mention that it was her and Regan who tore up the rule book for the financial sector.

          Big Bang she called it! Now we have the result… global financial devastation.

          You can say that Tone and Gordum just carried on with her policies, but not that she started it.

          Do not mention that her very first act as PM was to sack 100s of customs officers, ensuring that Great Britney was completely flooded with drugs, especially hard drugs, within 2 years.

          Forget that she knew damm well that The Argies were about to invade the Falklands. She needed a war to win the next erection.

          They are all shits and yes, Gordum is world champion shit of shits, but Mrs T is sacrosanct.

          Bottle of the bubbly for me the day she dies, and another when Bliar is gone and 3 if Gordum does the decent thing soon.

    No Fire Risk Assessment at Fire Training Facility

    In May of 2009, a fire broke out at the UK Fire Service College in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire.  Part of the premises burnt down and the cost of the damage to the facility was in the region of £1million.  Eleven fire engines were lost and their garage completely destroyed.  The UK Fire Service College is a training facility that welcomes fire fighters from all over the globe, not just the UK.

    It has transpired that there was no fire risk assessment in place when the incident occurred, meaning that the UK Fire Service College failed to comply with fire safety laws.  Since 2006, following the introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO), which consolidated over seventy pieces of law regarding fire safety, there has been a legal requirement to do a ‘suitable and sufficient’ fire risk assessment on every type of non-domestic building in England and Wales (however, Article 31(10) of the FSO extends the application to domestic premises other than single private dwellings (e.g. houses in multiple occupation)).  In Scotland, fire safety duties are contained Part 3 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, as amended, and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

    Failure to comply with the FSO is a criminal offence punishable by fines or a prison sentence.  The risk assessment is a vital part of any non-domestic building’s safety procedure.  It can identify factors that may cause a fire to spread and allow for the improvement of evacuation procedures.  This should constantly be monitored and kept up-to-date.  The UK Fire Service College had failed to keep an up-to-date fire risk assessment, a failing one would hardly expect from such an organisation.  Fortunately, none of the shortcomings on this occasion led to injury or loss of life and no enforcement action has been taken.

    Why not?

      GORDON,

      WHO TOLD LIES, AND WAS BURNED TO DEATH

      GORDON told such Dreadful Lies,
      It made one Gasp and Stretch one’s Eyes;
      His Father, who, from his Earliest Youth,
      Had kept a Strict Regard for Truth,
      Attempted to Believe Gordon:
      The effort very nearly killed Him,
      And would have done so, had not He
      Discovered this Infirmity.
      For once, towards the Close of Day,
      Gordon, growing tired of play,
      And finding he was left alone,
      Went tiptoe to the Telephone
      And summoned the Immediate Aid
      Of Renfrewshire’s Noble Fire-Brigade.
      Within an hour the Gallant Band
      Were pouring in on every hand,
      From Glasgow, Orkney Downs, and John Ogrow.
      With Courage high and Hearts a-glow,
      They galloped, roaring through the Town,
      ‘Gordon’s House is Burning down!’
      Inspired by Scottish Cheers and Loud
      Proceeding from the Frenzied Crowd,
      They ran their ladders through a score
      Of windows on the Ball Room Floor;
      And took Peculiar Pains to Souse
      The Pictures up and down the House,
      Until Gordon’s Father succeeded
      In showing them they were not needed;
      And even then He had to pay
      To get the Men to go away!

      It happened that a few Weeks later
      His Father was off to the Theatre
      To see that Interesting Play
      The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.
      He had refused to take his Son
      To hear this Entertaining Piece:
      A Deprivation Just and Wise
      To Punish him for Telling Lies.
      That Night a Fire did break out–
      You should have heard dear old Gordon Shout!
      You should have heard him Scream and Bawl,
      And throw the window up and call
      To People passing in the Street–
      (The rapidly increasing Heat
      Encouraging him to obtain
      Their confidence) — but all in vain!
      For every time he shouted ‘Fire!’
      They only answered ‘Little Liar!’
      And therefore when his Father returned,
      Gordon, and the House, were Burned.

        In my extensive experience in large companies:
        - you might distribute a document electronically to save paper, but many people will then print a paper-copy to scan through
        - as Councillor Taylor, many of us like to add notes and post-its to a document.
        - You could add notes electronically, but this is one more piece of software that people would need to master
        - generally, a room full of people all using lap-tops or other PCs does not allow an effective meeting. People are more focussed on typing and navigating their computer screen,

    week TPA Research Director Matt Sinclair has been looking at Britain’s weak recovery, and how it may be due to high government borrowing undermining economic confidence. New statistics today from Eurostat shows that industrial production across the eurozone rose by 1.7% in January. In Britain, it fell by 0.3%. The graph to the right shows how weak performance has been in Britain.

    Earlier in the week new trade figures showed the deficit had risen from £2.6 to £3.8 billion despite the weak pound. BBC Economics Editor Stephanie Flanders reported that “we’ve seen…exports and imports falling – along with the wider economy – but exports more than imports. And there has been almost no change in our terms of trade.” In other words, UK manufacturers seem to have taken the opportunity to increase their margins – here and abroad – rather than pick up new sales. To read Matt’s analysis of the problem, and his warning that large Government deficits threaten rather than sustain our economic future, click here.

    “Brown is a compulsive liar, he has no truth in his soul. He’s a liar” says:

    Compulsive Lying

    Is your husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend a compulsive or pathological liar?

    To begin with, it may help to understand the difference between pathological and compulsive lying (see, types of liars).

    Ultimately, making this type of distinction may not be that useful. Because in either case, the outcome is typically the same: dealing with a compulsive or pathological liar is very difficult to do.

    A compulsive liar will resort to telling lies, regardless of the situation. Again, everyone lies from time to time (see, when lovers lie), but for a compulsive liar, telling lies is routine. It becomes a habit – a way of life.

    Simply put, for a compulsive liar, lying becomes second nature.

    Not only do compulsive liars bend the truth about issues large and small, they take comfort in it. Lying feels right to a compulsive liar. Telling the truth, on the other hand, is difficult and uncomfortable.

    And like any behavior which provides comfort and an escape from discomfort (i.e., alcohol, drugs, sex), lying can become addictive and hard to stop. For the compulsive liar, lying feels safe and this fuels the desire to lie even more.

    Making matters even more complicated, compulsive lying is often a symptom of a much larger personality disorder, which only makes the problem more difficult to resolve (see, narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder).

    Unfortunately, compulsive lying is hard for the person involved to see, but it hurts those who are around it. Compulsive lying, if not addressed, can easily ruin a relationship (for example, see why does he need to lie).

    Compulsive lying can be dealt with through counseling or therapy. But, like any addictive behavior (and/or personality disorder), getting someone to admit they have a problem with lying is the difficult part. Sadly enough, getting someone to recognize that he or she has a problem usually requires hitting rock bottom first.

    How can you confront a compulsive liar?

      “Brown is a compulsive liar, he has no truth in his soul. He’s a liar” says:

      I was married to a compulsive liar for three years; we dated for one year before we married. He was the most charming man I’d ever met, and I believe now it was because he knew about his lying problem. Also, his lying worked to hook me because he told me what he knew I wanted to hear. The lies ranged from tiny, silly things to very important issues. My trust in him was ultimately destroyed, and that is when I decided I needed to leave. I confronted him several (and several more) times, but he always denied that he was lying and became angry with me. Having no trust in him and being verbally and emotionally attacked by him was not worth all the great things about him, and there were many. I believe much of love is made up of trust. I have always wished him well since I left him, but I know he’s still at it. I received a call recently from a woman who found our divorce papers in the trunk of his car when he sent her there for one of his sweaters – he told her he had never been married. She was crying her heart out to me. I told her to run, especially since I found out he had been divorced in the same manner – I found his first divorce papers in the trunk of his car, where he had sent me to find his sweater. Ha ha. Go figure!

    About six months ago I highlighted the nonsense that it all started in America was disproved by the Lehmans use of the City as a place to hid from US Regulators because of the light touch regime presided over by the imbecile in Downing Street.

    Vindication from the Peston himself.

    ‘Lehman’s creditors and investors will be studying the examiner’s report in a forensic way, to assess whether they should sue those criticised in the report.

    Meanwhile there is also some unattractive publicity for the London law firm Linklaters and for the now controversial light-touch regulatory culture that existed in the UK till recently.

    The examiner says that the so-called “Repo 105″ programme that allowed Lehman to hide that $50bn of assets was not permitted by any US law firm.

    So Lehman obtained an “opinion letter” from Linklaters in London that said the relevant deals were permissible under English law – and the relevant transactions that hid the assets were then conducted through Lehman’s London operations.’

      It was the right thing to do. You must be a proper baby-eating monster to have thoughts like these, you should be ashamed of yourself. If you were a Labour voter, I’d have you thrown out of the party conference and imprisoned for 42 days for dissent. Our great leader has started a moral crusade against pensions and savings, because it is the right thing to do, unlike those baby-eating non-Labour toffs who bought their own council houses, and are thus depriving millions of good honest benefits scroungers a roof over their heads.

        Today I had the misfortune to play a Jock at golf who is on holiday over here in NZ; naturally enough the conversation turned to Politics and this seemingly normal person told me he was going to vote labour again as “from where he comes from we always vote labour”

        I tried to reason with him saying that the only way to have any sort of a chance of a good government is to make the Political Parties scared stiff of the voters and that our votes should be highly valued and hard earned – but he honestly thought it was his DUTY to vote Labour FFS!

        How do you change this mindless; bovine, tribal stupidity?

        How about a ‘handicap’ voting system? If you are on benefits; Welsh, Scottish or live in the North East or work for National or Local Government, the BBC or are Ginger – Your vote only counts as .75 of a vote?

            We’re pensioners too. gordon has taken most of ours. What modest savings we had in Lloyds have also gone with gordon’s HBos sleight of hand!!!

            On top of that we are raising a disabled grandchild. ‘Every Child Matters’ remember that edballs piece of rubbish??

            Well it doesn’t apply to disabled children at least not to ours!! The local paediatric NHS has failed us totally. If we had not used our depleted pension to buy her private care she would no longer be with us. So much for labour!!

            And even though we have paid for her care from our pension fund, when our GP tries to get us a blood test for her on the NHS recently, the NHS says because we have taken her into the private sector we must pay, even for that!! Labour doesn’t care about children or any one of us.

            Labour cares about gordon though and his second home claims , even though he has no first home other than 10 drowning street or Chequers which are already paid for by us, the taxpayer!!!

            I bet he never had to pay for blood tests for his disabled children!!!

          • David Cameron took out maximum taxpayer-funded mortgage then paid off own £75k loan 4 months later says:

            David Cameron was dragged personally into the expenses row after it was revealed that he paid off a loan on his London home shortly after taking out a £350,000 taxpayer-funded mortgage on his constituency house.
            The disclosure followed a powerful call by the Tory leader yesterday for the ‘full force of the law’ to be deployed against MPs who have abused allowances.
            Following a Mail on Sunday investigation Mr Cameron could now face searching questions about his own expense claims.

            http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1189788/Cameron-took-maximum-taxpayer-funded-mortgage–paid-75k-loan-months-later.html

            Dave claimed for expenses on a second home – the mortgage interest, when he only had one mortgage. He was also one of the largest claimers of this expense in the commons for many years.

          • The Real Martin Day says:

            With very low paid workers now paying tax at 20p instead of 10p, consider the following.

            Alistair Darling, the chancellor,or is he?, changed his main home four times in four years. He even charged a £10,000 stamp duty bill to the taxpayer. So the man responsible for stamp duty, avoids paying it himself.

            But surely Gordon Brown’s moral high compass would ensure that he would not be following in the footsteps of the chancellor in this sleight-of-hand money grabbing stuff. Gordon has told us all of his hatred of all those tax loopholes and tax avoidance schemes, hasn’t he?

            When chancellor himself, he had a grace and favour apartment in Downing Street. He also had a bolt hole flat nearby, bought from the estate of the late Robert Maxwell. Shortly before he became PM, Gordon designated his bolt hole flat as his second home. This allowed him to claim allowances for it, which included paying his brother six thousand pounds for cleaning services. He also spread the cost of a nine thousand pound kitchen from Ikea, over 2 financial years. This allowed him to stay just within the maximum second home allowance limit.

            But Gordon became PM as we all know and just like a very shrewd business man looking to keep things all for himself and not to give anything to the taxman, HE PUT HIS FLAT IN HIS WIFE’S NAME! As you do if you are a capitalist. This means of course that if he sells the flat, no capital gains tax is liable.

            Hang on though, I’m not finished yet.

            This of course left him free to now nominate his home in Scotland as his second home. This has allowed him to extensively renovate it at the taxpayer’s expenses. The taxpayer also forks out for the cost of the cleaner and the gardener.

            All this AND he lives virtually cost-free in Downing Street for the past 12 years. So why has he charged anything to the taxpayer? Just because you can, doesn’t mean you have to does it? What about his moral compass? He also earns £194250 as PM and an MP. In addition, he has a 6 figure index linked pension to look forward to. The tax payer even pays for a sky sports subscription.

            Do you consider Gordon had paid his fair share that he says we all have to pay?

            I repeat, Gordon had a choice this week and so did all his labour MP’s to make life a little more easier for the low-paid. They CHOSE not to. According to the IFS, this decision by labour to make the very low paid, pay more tax is affecting 1.3 million people. He even lied to get his finance bill passed by telling his MP’s that if they voted for 10p for the low paid, his finance bill would fail. The clerks to the speaker in the HofC told Dianne Abott that this simply was not true. Clearly you can see how Gordon, the labour party and the labour MP’s were determined to vote it through and make life more difficult for the low-paid.

            I hope he enjoyed his lavish dining and entertaining at the g20 too.

            Remember, Labour no longer represents the low-paid, neither do the unions, not one union raised a voice in support either. Why would that be?

          • Democracy is dangerous says:

            Yes!! Anyone who pays more than 100k in taxation deserves 2 votes – think of taxation as ‘shares’ in the UK PLC – why the hell should all votes be equal?

      Look at gordon . He claims a second homes allowance on his Kirkcaldy home – this is based on the premise that he has a main home somewhere else. (the flat he owned he gave to sarah when he got married) . So where is HIS first home??

      no.10 drowning street? Chequers? Both of which are owned by us, the taxpayer, and paid for by us, the taxpayer. Therefore he owns no main home!!! He is no different to ++uddin is he???

    MP denies breaching rules with unpaid interns says:

    RUNNYMEDE and Weybridge MP Philip Hammond has denied breaching government guidelines and minimum wage laws by employing unpaid interns to run his office.

    The Shadow Chief Treasury Secretary advertised in June for “a confident, hardworking intern with a keen interest in economic issues” to join his private office in Westminster for a period of six months.

    Mr Hammond specified that the position would be unpaid with travel expenses only.

    The job description also listed a range of challenging roles, including constituency casework and research for the Treasury department.

    The advert has prompted criticism from political bloggers and the magazine Private Eye.

    Fuck the Tories. I’m not only swapping my vote to UKIP now, Im going to positively propagandise *against* Dave’s so-called conservatives. Look what this fucking twat Gove has to say about the fact that the bernerper *won’t* be banned from teaching: “The Smith review fails to get to grips with the problem extremism poses to our children. BNP members and other extremists should not be teaching in our schools and shaping young lives.”

    What an arsehole. The question should never be asked in the bloody first place. We start banning political parties, we have judges declaring that opposing immigration s an illegal political aim, we have bans already in place to weed out particular parties from the cops… what kind of bloody country declares some professions off limits to some parties? Should we all jon the baathists if we expect a good job?

    And the fuckign tories are all in favour!!!

    Well screw them. I hate Brown more than any man alive, but I WILL NOT VOTE for this shit to get him out. FUCK YOU Dave.

    Bastards. So angry at the way a supposedly right wing individualist party has been warped into this soggy left shitbag social democrat europhiliac cocksucker party.

    So UKIP it is then, a crahing tory vote, five more years of Brown. Wel done Dave, you must be so proud.

      Mr Gore praised the role Mr Cameron had played in promoting environmental issues.

      “The fact that both your political parties are competing vigorously to offer solutions is very important,” he told Tory frontbenchers.

      “I can assure you that people around the world really are watching and are appreciating the quality of this debate.”

      David Cameron said -

      “If you want to understand climate change, go and see Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth.

      Today, I want to tell the British people some uncomfortable truths.

      There is a price for progress in tackling climate change.”

    All you naive people out there who still think that Alistair Darling is a man of principle, read this damning indictment of the slippery snake by Peter Oborne in today’s paper:

    “I can also reveal that Darling’s disingenuous management of Treasury affairs over recent months has even drawn criticism from his own officials. They are alarmed that the Chancellor, contrary to reports that he has tried to stand up to Gordon Brown and be more honest with the public, has consistently refused to take the prudent and sensible advice of Treasury mandarins….”

      Gordon and Sarko are used to faking it.

      So kissy kissy and touchy feely, they are practically in a lip lock, Gordon Brown and President Sarkozy allowed the press to photograph their entente formidable in all its cringeworthy detail, as they got up close and personal for the cameras before a private discussion today. Their mutual affection was about as convincing as when Tom Selleck and Kevin Kline made out in In And Out.

    On 20 November 2009 Martin Day reported that Lord Ashcroft had denied that in 2007 the British Caribbean Bank had lent $5m to Michael Misick, the then Prime Minster of the Turks & Caicos Islands. In fact Lord Ashcroft’s denial related to the allegation made in Martin Day’s report of 19 November that he or his companies had made loans to Michael Misick in connection with the construction of his mansion or to fund his lavish lifestyle. Lord Ashcroft has made no other comment in relation to any alleged loans and Martin Day regrets this inaccuracy.

    Off Topic, but, I cannot remember clearly – was it just before the last general Election that Labour pumped millions of pounds into a car business in a Labour constituency in order to bribe their supporters to vote Labour? I am thinking of (memory working I hope) the Rover plant in Brum? Was this done in the pretty certain knowledge that it would be wasted money, but it was worth a few millions of taxpayers money to buy the Labour votes at the election. Do not know if Unite (Prop. “The Labour Party”) was involved then, like they are at Luton.

    Can anyone clarify for me please?

    Thanks.

          Yardarm says:

          Doubtless, Mr DR, Jack is being rewarded for some dirty work at the crossroads of union/party funding although hopefully Harriet will be wearing the highwayman`s mask. And he will be there to assist the rise of the Harperson Hegemony later this year when the shattered remnants of the Labour party elect a new leader.

          In the meantime, it`s a nice sunny day here and I`d like to share a vision that may cheer up weary bloggers.

          Imagine, May 7th this year. Gordon is being driven away from the Palace after handing in his cards. He is at his very lowest, his lifes work in ruins. Suddenly he notices his limo isn`t taking the expected route. He leans forward, raps on the glass. The driver and bodyguard give no sign that they have heard him.

          Gordon tries the doors as they slow in traffic. Locked. Increasingly worried, he pounds the windows, shouts for help. The armoured glass is too strong to break. Indifferent faces turn to him and then away; they have lost jobs, their homes. They turn their backs on him.

          Gordon hauls out his mobile: like his car`phone it is dead. he has no alternative but to sit there as his limo is driven into a vast warehouse in an anonymous industrial estate in west London. The limo parks. The two men in front get out and lock the doors, deaf to Gordon`s renewed shouts and hammering. They walk away.

          Then Gordon notices the warehouse is full of other limos, each bearing a familiar occupant: Mandelson…Darling….. Miliband…even Blair. All hammering on the windows, kicking in desperate and futile rage at the doors. All trapped.

          Then the doors of the warehouse are closed. Forever.
