Saturday Seven Up

7upPretty good week for the blog, Monday’s CCHQ floor-plan was an object of fascination to thousands of readers and revealed that Ashcroft was out of Tory HQ.  To the Tory staffer who claimed that it was out of date, Guido has to tell him that it is more likely to be his version that is out of date.  Guido was first to report that Transport Minister Sadiq Khan had been caught lying and ordered to repay thousands. Thanks to EyeSpy.MP we were first to reveal (Sarah’s Discreet Tête à Tête Tweeted) that the dodgy non-dom Lord Paul was having lunch with Sarah Brown – before she had even finished her dessert.  The Race to Be Dave’s Downing Street Mouthpiece was the post that resulted in the most, errrm, ‘feedback’ from the Westminster politico-media village.

The email that tickled Guido the most was the one from a Jehovah’s Witness complaining that Guido had compared the LibDem theme tune toa Jehovah Witness recruitment ad.  They attached an MP3 of their choir and Guido confesses that it was in comparison Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.

If you were not one of the 57,785 visitors viewing 384,508 pages over the last seven days, here are the seven most popular stories (in order of popularity) that you missed:

You’re either in front of Guido, or you are behind…

    Great stuff Guido…

    Keep it up…

    Let’s see Whelan strung up in Parliament Square before he can go back to his salmon fishing in Scotland paid for by Unite workers who have or will lose their jobs because of him and Smearing ZanuLabour…

      What makes I angry says:

      It makes I very angry when a Union assumes that they are running the business that their members work for.

      And it makes I just as angry when local militant shop stewards intimidate their members who do not want to strike.

          CHAOS, CARNAGE AND RIOTS AT HEATHROW!! says:

          Amid tens of thousands of distraught and wounded air travellers the Riot Police had finally kettled the baying mobs of petrol bomb throwing trolley dollies and screaming militant cabin crew flying pickets who transformed the airport into a blood soaked battleground.

          Shocked onlookers looked on in horror as several Jets were taxid into a group of mounted riot Police horses squashing the poor beasts and traumatising the hundreds of thousands of air travellers unfortunate enough to get caught up in the anarchy.

          Comrade Wooley led the baying strikers by bellowing from a Russian MIG fighter jet he had commandereed from his soviet paymasters as he buzzed Heathrow dropping small statues of Stalin onto the heads of startled Police and the millions of air travellers whose lives he had ruined forever.

          The Saintly Mr Walsh sobbed openely as he comforted small children and kittens who he had personally saved from being beaten to death by bullyboy trolley dollies.

          The unparallelled scenes of death and destruction are expected to worsen and continue every day for the next 6 weeks said B.A. management source Mr Dandy Boulson.

            Whelan is doing a better job to turn people to the Tory partry than anyone else. The rail union is likely to follow this course soon and people will realise what the true Liebour is about. The unions like their party don’t have the mandate to behave as they do. members should stop paying their subscriptions. It also shows how Liebour are all lies and spin and have not changed from the aim to build a soviet surpressed state while lining their pockets like the revolting Blair- he should be brought to book, have his assets seized and prosecuted for war crimes.

            Perhaps BBC’s Robinson will harp on about Ashcroft for the eighth time this week!!!

        Unions certainly have their place in sorting local difficulties, but when they become militant as the BA team have become at the moment, then public support is lost.

        Brown must be shitting himself though, which can only be a good thing :-)

      Here’s a headline for you “Labour’s election campaign strategy grounded by UNITE”

      or if you prefer ” Brown’s hopes to win election hits the buffers ”

      Either of the above two disputes are particularly toxic for UNITE/LABOUR and will resonate with the electorate as their Easter hols are ruined by union action for which they will blame Brown and Labour whereas nobody outside the BBC and Westminster gives a toss about Ashcroft or Hague…..!!!!!!

        Let us compare the two:
        1) Lord Ashcroft the liar has evaded paying 125 million pounds and counting of tax contributions, and the alread overburdened taxpayer will have to make up that amount Ashcroft has evaded contributing.
        2) A few thousand people who use British Airways will have to use another airline to go on a holiday that most other people in the country couldn’t afford.
        No contest, is it.
        The public will decide which is worse, a tax evading lord or workers protecting their wages during a recession.
        Jesus wept, you tory trolls really are dumb motherfuckers.

          1. Ashcroft has not “Evaded” tax, he has “Avoided” tax only on overseas income – something that everyone right-minded person would do – do you want to pay too much tax??
          2. BA employ, directly and indirectly, over 100,000 people in West London. Many of them are on minimum wage such as baggage handlers, caterers and other airport workers. BA’s reputation is close to collapse due to the excessive militancy shown by the Cabin Crew union, where the Pilots and Engineers have both agreed pay cuts. The CC are not been asked to take a pay cut.

          The public outside Westminister don’t give a shit about party funding, they think they are all the same.

          They don’t have much feeling for strikers when they themselves have experienced redundancy and/or reduced hours and conditions in the recession…

Big Ed Ballsup comments include lots of words in a random order which BBC spinners are currently desperately seeking to untangle while Nick Robinson takes his methodrone and swallows another helping of Number 10’s half baked pie in sky to regurgitate to the few remaining viewers who haven’t already given up in disgust and switched over to Sky.

        There was a direct question asked at PMQ three weeks ago. Brown answered with an assurance that Straw was on the case and that “….it was important that all serving military personnel would have the right to vote….” This needs to be followed up.

      As they hate my guts, there is no way I am giving them a vote. I am not stupid.

        And just to add, I have made arrangements for all BA cabin crew (Unite members only) to cast their vote where ever they are in the world.

    I’m off to Edinburgh Uni in September. They say my three grade E GCSEs are just what they’re looking for.

        Students from Scotland and EU of course do NOT have to pay fees if they study in Scotland and get assistance to reduce their fees if they study elsewhere in the UK whereas English students have to pay the full £3,250 pa .How ironic the Student Loans Company is based in Glasgow

        “Eligible Scottish domiciled and EU students studying in Scotland are entitled to free tuition. We will pay tuition fees straight to your institution.”

          Media Studies ...or "Fool's Gold" says:

          A few years ago when one of my sons was applying to Uni the demand for “Meeja Degrees” was so high that the offers were AAB at A level or 340 UCAS points . This was the “Degree of choice” in the early “Noughties” with promise of all those high paid jobs in the media/journalism which very few actually achieved. In fact his school was pushing as many as they could into this area of “expertise”

          Thankfully I talked him out of applying and he did a Law/Economics joint degree followed by a MBA which stood him in better stead than his friends who spent 3 years basically running around dressed as “giant caterpillars” and filming rubbish bins from different angles

    “You’re either in front of Guido, or you are behind…”

    What does that even mean?!

    In the world of baffling marketing tags, it’s almost on a par with the John Lewis classic, “Never knowingly undersold” (which used to make me think, whenever I saw it on one of their artics “you mean sometimes you undersell(??) stuff by accident? Get a grip”)

    Like the John Lewis nonsense, your tag sounds big, but when exposed to a bit of critical scrutiny, it turns out to be outstandingly meaningless.

    Humph. Maybe that’s point.
