      BBC R4 currently trying to cover-up ‘Lobbygate’ by revealing their own ‘in depth investigation’ of MPs not declaring paid trips to foreign countries – which, surprise, surprise included Tory MPs (as well as Andrew Dismore, Chair of Standards and Privileges Committee).

          Not as amazing as the BBC, allegedly from a standing start on the day the UK banks got bailed out, having 1980′s footage re-mastered and sequenced into a whole story about how the banks going tits-up was emphatically not a failure of Brown’s signature policy of an independent FSA and Bank of England.

          Actually they didn’t even conflict the neutral listener – an incompetent government, an imprudent, reckless Brown, an independent FSA and Bank of England weren’t even mentioned.

          Fuck no.

          Those 1980′s yuppies in their pin-striped double-breasted suits with the ‘mobile’ phones the size of motorbike batteries and their female alter-egos with massive shoulderpads and huge perms were wheeled out. The whole thing was a failure of Thatcherism. A failure of capitalism. The final chapter in the ‘Big Bang’.

          We were helpfully presented with a sack-of-lies narrative that endures to this day.

          I shit you not.

          We were expected to believe that Brown had been woken up on Sunday morning, been made aware of a financial situation that had arisen without warning overnight (despite Northern Rock going tits up a full year prior’. Then we were expected to believe that the mental Titan had rubbed his chin for a few moments and decided that the right thing to do was to persuaded Lloyds to commit economic suicide by ‘merging’ with HBOS and that he’d come up with the idea of a debt for equity swap for HBOS and RBS all by himself before settling down to orange juice and the Times crossword.

          This from a bloke who has spent 10 years not okay-ing a 10 million pound airport in St Helena – cos there are no Northern voters in St Helena. with the result we’re a runway short if the Argentines kick off again.

          And we’re expected to believe that with zero notice the BBC editorial department decided to present Gordon Browns epic failure at every single level – prudence, management and economics as a ‘failure of Thatcherism’ complete with 20 minutes of archive footage?

          C*NTS.

          Lying, dissembling, propagandising c*nts.

          • Sting's Beard says:

            Interesting Point. I heard from a totally reliable source that the Government knew several weeks before Leahman Brothers went Belly up that it was going to happen. The PM called in National newspaper editors to give them the line to spin. Also had a meeting with the Beeb so they had time to get their story together. Maybe I can reveal more when the time is right.

          • jgm2 says:

            I could reveal a lot more too. So if any Tory/Lib Dem/SNP MP wants to make an FOI request to find out what the treasury knew about the mooted Lloyds/HBOS merger and how long this had been in the planning stage then I can guarantee they will either be lying or they will be refusing to tell you. Lets just say it was a good six months prior to it it becaming headline news.

            I know for a fact the CEOs of the banks were begging the BOE for emergency funding for almost a full year prior to Oct 2008. As has been belatedly revealed. But Brown decided to trash the UK banks rather than provide the covert funding still enjoyed by Deutsche and the French banks in favour of publicly trashing the UK banks in order to cover up for his own incompetence.

            But still those bought and paid for c*nts at the BBC don’t see fit to challenge the official narrative that the first Brown knew of this financial clusterfuck was two days before it happened. We’re expected to believe he knew nothing about 60bn quid in emergency loans. No wonder the lying fucker knows nothing about a 50K slush fund. there’s 60bn quid washing around and he’s not even consulted.

            Yeah. Right.

            No wonder news reports at the time had him ‘with a spring in his step’. Any fucker who had managed to rig the reporting of every single flagship policy he’d ever had going tits up as being blamed on Thatch, the yanks or ‘a failure of capitalism’ would be doing hand-springs down fucking Oxford Street.

          • Jan 2008 Lehman went belly up 9 months later says:

            Lehmans went bust in September 2008 (actually insolvent 3 weeks earlier). All the writing was on the wall months before. I do not, and never will believe that Brown was in blissful ignorance.

            The year 2008 will be the year that THINGS JUST PLAIN BREAK. It will be a truly deadly year, unavoidably lethal to the USEconomy and especially to the US banking sector. Nothing has been repaired. Some tangible solutions will be offered in the next section, all legitimate in a real world. However, we do NOT live in a real world, but rather in a Fairy Tale world of US Hegemony and Wall Street with a choke hold around the US entire system. Managed inflation is the policy never to be reversed, until total breakdown occurs. Treason is rampant, called simply Power Games.
            All attempts so far are to shore up the existing system, to enable Wall Street to sell as much of their damaged asset backed bonds to suckers, and to avoid international lawsuits against Wall Street firms. In 2008, an alarming sequence is assured of enormous damage that puts the entire US economic and financial system in a perilous situation. The powers survived the end of 2007, with heavy usage of band aids, rubber bands, and paper clips, but reality continues to itemize a relentless sequence of unfixable, tragic, intractable problems. The pressure points are big banks suffering from insolvency, prime mortgage bonds destined for massive losses, consumers without kitties to rob to keep spending, a worsening housing market from chronic inventory bloat, and deepening problems in the lending industry frozen from insolvency and distrust. Pitch in a global resentment of US fraud and heavy handed tactics, especially from the last couple decades.

          Of course… that’s why Stephan Shakespeare, a Yougov founder is a Tory supporter and heavily involved in Conservativehome.com and why another founder, some ethnic refugee from one of the Stans is a Tory parliamentary candidate for Stratford and finally why Yougov are the Tories official pollster – it’s all because Yougov are in the pockets of Labour. Having said all that I wouldn’t put it past Nulab scum to go down the entryist route and have feet in both camps by infilitrating the Tories – it explains why Cameron and co are so congenitally fucking useless.

    Rufus Stone says:

    Subject: SCIENTISTS DISCOVER NEW ELEMENT

    Oxford University researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

    These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

    A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

    In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

      June 3rd apparently.

      Most commentators seem to think that the Maximum Imbecile will hold it on May 6th to coincide with local elections to save unnecessary holding two elections within four weeks of each other.

      These people are fucking idiots. This is a guy who overspends by half a billion quid a day. Do you think he’s going to do himself out of four additional weeks of photo ops (and 20 billion quid of debt) and the possibility that Cameron may have a heart attack/Gerald Ratner moment just to save a few quid on an extra election date?

      What, in the name of Christ, would lead any sane, neutral observer to believe that?

      Can somebody point me to the precedent for the Maximum Imbecile choosing to save money over political positioning?

        Is it not the case that once the date is officially announced the BBC, ITV etc. have to give equal air time to the main parties? Presumably the longer McBruin holds off announcing the date, the more free propaganda he can can get out of the Bolshevik Broacasting Corp. With the parlous state of the Sewer Parties finances, as far as McBruin is concerned the longer they can postpone the date the better.

        England's Government of mentally unstable, bullying, Scotch liars says:

        One of the most insane, glorious, appalling, and deranged episodes in modern British politics was his recent visit to Helmand.
        His mind still whirring with the childlike joy of getting away with a lie re funding to the military, the child abuser’s grin etched on his lobotomite’s face.

        The longer the mental delays the election the more he can spend on his ‘big state is best’ adverts, the latest radio example being ‘if you have a work colleague who has a lock-up report it to the terrorist hotline’.

        It’s looking like end May/early June, and why wouldn’t he hang it out? another four weeks might see that stubborn 4% of the electorate give up and vote for big state Scotch socialism

    Unfortunately, as we all aware, nothing will come of any investigation and no penalties will follow. However, as these are ego driven individuals whose self esteem knows no bounds, you can be satisfied in the thought that the rest of their miserable lives will be prefaced with the tag “Disgraced former MP” and they will forever be the butt of sniggers and scorn wherever they go. This form of hell to a once high riding puffed up pompous cruiser in the stratosphere of importance and deference will bar them from decent society. Every event that they attend will be marked by the arms length distance that other power hungry moguls keep them at. Any public occasion will hold fear that some grudge bearing citizen would confront them with a barrage of abuse. They may be affluent but the denial of respect is a sentence that cuts to the bone for those used to having the world hang on their every word.

    I thought tonights BBC News at Ten was quite good.

    I was expecting their leading story to be anti-tory to balance the Despatches show, especially when they showed sun, sand and beaches (Ashcroft).

    Instead they lead with their own research into Lobbying via countries (pretty ballanced I thought, Mainly Labour to blame but Tories and Lib Dems too).

    They followed with the Despatches findings (no anti-tory spin either).

    Finally I thought it was all going to go to pieces once Robinson came on, but no, it was straightforwarding reporting even ending with Robinson saying
    “Lets not forget, these suspensions are all Blairites and directly behind the coo over christmas” (Essentialy stating Brown and Chums are wreaking their revenge).

      It’s anti-blair not anti Labour. It’s a very subtle distinction. when the BBC criticises Labour it does so from the left. Ie Blair was a war-monger. Blair was in thrall to the capitalists.

And I am amuse self with read strange case of upright Members and £3000 rate of day.

    When I am think of all this I am laugh long time and fart (with tiny follow through). £3000 from half-lobbyists, or whatever is call. Unless three Labour persons – Ban Ki Hoon, Leyton Hewitt and Richard Briars – work on day of football and day of God – like Yuri must, though I boss and go see FC Dnepr Smolensk (they is shit) and talk to Father Alexei on Sunday about whether God is cool about protection racket – they all is earn less than Russian oligarch is earn in 11 seconds.

    You have no fear of friendly Smolensky peoples – and if you are come to my shop we have real English feasting of roast beef (or horse, if bull is rancid) and Yorkist puddings (made with vodka batter).

Perhaps this will provide a crumb of comfort for all those mp’s currently exiled in disgrace due to sleaze of one form of another. Remember he said …” And If I can come back, You can come back “.

      Done…

      Dear Sir

      Tonight, the nation watched an ex-Minister of Defence, Geoff Hoon MP, presently a member of a NATO defence procurement committee, offering to sell national defence secrets and those of the other NATO states to the highest bidder during a time when we are at war…

      “I’m looking forward to sort of… translating my knowledge and contacts of the [sort of] international scene into something — to put it bluntly — that makes money”.

      This constitutes (at least) a breach of the Official Secrets Act to which he is a signatory and at worst high treason against the Crown.

      What are you going to do about this?

      Yours faithfully

    This must be Labour’s longest ever suicide note

    Hoon and the Hoonettes, expenses, CLP’s at logger heads with Millbank over fixed postal votes for their favoured PPCs, CLP’s deselecting sitting MP’s, and to crown it all a scandal in Glasgow that includes blaw, snaw and dough coupled with a whole lot of contracts going to Dr Reid’s Glasgow Celtic pals and a re-development of Celtic’s Parkhead, paid for by the Scottish taxpayers.

    I could also mention the £700,000 land deal and the preferential treatment that Haughey’s companies have had from his Glasgow Labour pals – but of course you daft English think we vote for monkeys wearing red rosettes here in Scotland.

    By the way England voted for Blair and his moron’s. the Scot’s vote is worth hee-haw at Westminster.

    Soon Westminster will have hee-haw to do with Scotland once the Eton ponce is Prime Minister of England. I just hope that the Scot’s do not start charging exorbitant fees for all the power, oil and gas the English take for granted in retaliation for the lunatic National Grid charging regime or it will really be a case of the last one left in England ….. there’s no need to switch the lights out ’cause they are not working anyway…..

    Dissolution of the Long Parliament by Oliver Cromwell given to the House of Commons, 20 April 1653

    It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

    Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter’d your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

    Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil’d this sacred place, and turn’d the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress’d, are yourselves gone! So!

    D L George says:

    Couple of things before bed
    1) Brown said no to an enquiry but then His cohorts had Hoon, Hewitt and Byers suspended suggesting Brown knew fine well what was going on but didn’t want anyone (close) being investigated. Could this be why Byers launched His own investigation? If He got wind of Browns intentions maybe He thought He’d take others down with him. I don’t follow the line that Byers is ‘just a lyer’ and none of this really happened, they’re ALL bloody lyers. After all, National Express hasn’t paid the £500,000,000 and Tesco doesn’t have to follow the packaging nightmare.

    2) All those concerned seemed to have a similar selling pitch (I have contacts on the inside, I can change things, I can change policy) and a similar price (5k per day). How common place does this have to be, that all those approached offer the same services for the same fee?

    • 335
      Jon says:

      1) They were first going to be suspended before the programme aired but they waited to see it and see if the Newspapers were exaggerating about what they said. The backbenchers in the PLP meeting also made it clear they had to go. Problem is Byers was caught red handed lying by the programme makers themselves as well as having a track record of being a Liar – see Railtrack court case.

      2) The programme makers studied Lobbying Companies before embarking on the sting. It’s clearly common practice and it’s now open season for any journalst looking for a quick sleaze story on Lobbying.

      • 350
        D L George says:

        That’s not really my point Jon.

        1) Byers may be entirely untrustworthy, but in one of the cases He says He contacted Mandy to alter the course of proceedings. Mandy had to resign from government twice and even had a German MEP state that one of His European deals (Aluminium – Derapaska) is a prime example of how Europe should NOT do business. Who exactly is it that’s saying it’s all Byers? Where did this come from? Why on Earth should any of us believe any of them, they ALL have form.

        2) The journalists didn’t suggest an agenda nor did they suggest a price. All the journo’s aked was “what can you do for us?” and “How much”. The Politicians did the rest.
