Home Secretaries Head to Head
Many were hoping see Grayling skewered on the Daily Politics Home Secretary Debate. His mea culpa moment was well rehearsed and he expressed regret at “causing confusion“. In the quick-fire round all three claimed never to have broken any law other than motoring offences. An unlikely statement.
There was no clear winner on points, but Grayling’s priced moved up 10% on Politics Markets during the debate settling on a 60% chance of him being the next Home Secretary. Although it wasn’t the most exciting of debates, interestingly Alan Johnson said he could not guarantee that police numbers would not be cut if Labour won. That isn’t what Gordon said in the Leaders Debate…
Just watched the debate.
Do the presenters record the air time given to each participant and make sure it remains equal?
I had the impression that Hunhe’s interruptions went live and Grayling’s didn’t.
It isn’t down to debating technique, it’s down to microphone switching, and it’s something to watch.
Did Grayling get less air time the others?
If he did, was it because there was less waffle?
Was Hunhe favoured by the fact that he was closer to the presenters and they saw his desire to interrupt?
Should the participants have an “I want to reply to that button?”
Just X factor the whole thing.
Break it down into easy to digest images for the public.
Do you want …
The ugly one, the posh one or the perky one?
Why not scrap all this posters and campaigning and manifesto, cabinet stuff and just have 10 potential leaders in a line up.
Each makes one policy announcement and tells one anecdote. Then the public vote one off a week for 10 weeks.
{Maybe Simon Cowell and her Majesty have a veto each. We’ll see.}
Can have all that nail-biting staged tension, soft drumbeat/heartbeat music and dimmed lighting for the final three.
Text Dave for Cameron…Text Gord for Brown…
And then Cheyrl Cole announces “It’s the nation’s runaway favourite. It’s Nick!”
And Cleggy has to mouth “Oh-mi-God!” and embrace Gordon and kiss Dave before bursting into tears.
We’re all smearing Nick together.
I agree with myself

It’s been an incredible journey
I said a prayer last night to St Jude the patron saint of hopeless cases but I doubt that even he will know what to do about the Tory Party campaign.
Something is happening with the electorate. Today’s YouGov poll showing the Lib Dems in the lead is astonishing. Perhaps the public anger with MPs over their expenses and the banking crisis will result in the body politic being smashed to bits. What was true on Friday may not be true any longer.
The stakes are now very high. If David Cameron does not become PM on 6/7th May the electoral system will be changed. The first past the post system will be abolished and there will not be a Tory government for a very long time if ever again. Perhaps John Major will go down in history as the last Tory PM.
This is the most inept Tory campaign in living memory.
Guido, I’m glad you picked up Johnson’s comment on Police Officer numbers being in contrast to McSlug. In fact he pressed Cameron on the point several times in a challenging way to get him to confirm that he would not cut police officer numbers. Johnson clearly stated he would not make a pledge to cut officer numbers. Let’s hope Dave and the rest of the electorate picks up on it.
I thought Grayling was given less time and they should have made Huhne shut up on time. However, he gave a poor performance and it will not go down well that he will put less people inside prison, including those who commit knife crime, criminals to be let out early to solve over crowding- better still let’s forget the victims or crimes committed altogether it will save a bigger fortune in legal aide and we could scrap courts. Lib Dem tossers!
I think they all missed the point on binge drinking. The law changed to place the responsibility of administration/enforcement to the local authority and the police washed their hands of it. Hence no licensing checks any more and hell breaks out every weekend in town centres across the country. That’s why only four licensees in the UK have been prosecuted for selling to drunk people in five years. The SIA was, and is, a total waste of money. Another quango saving could be made by Dave to keep police officer numbers. The SIA do not have sufficient resources and powers to enforce licensing legislation. Stupidly the Act forgot to give them [SIA] powers to enter licensed premises- only Gordon and chums could think of this one! The SIA do not have a clue when it comes to festivals, then the Act did not consider type of event either- only Gordon and chums.
Guido, is Dave going to raise these failings on crime and disorder issues or will he consider it negative campainging and go to sleep on the issue?
Debates will never be perfect. You just need to get stuck in.
I agree with you, but we don’t want the broadcasters controlling the election result by failing to ensure impartial treatment of the participants, or by being dleiberately partisan.
I’m partisan
^^^^^
Sorry guys but I just don’t get it.
Judging by the way he speaks and acts, Chris Grayling is clearly a homosexual.
So why the hell was he attacking homsexuals?
What’s that all about, eh?
I think Grayling did get less airtime hence probably the reason why he won it. My god though does not Huhne talk and talk and talk and say nothing. Johnson was hopeless and probably more because he just cannot really defend this train wreck of a government on Home issues. Never forget the NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE mantra is what right on the money.
Johnson just couldn’t deliver, that’s why he became a politician. (too small to reach the letterboxes!!)
Didn’t gay Gordon tell Johnson just to slip it in at the back door
Opening statements of the crime debate
The fear of crime
Crime caused by alcohol
Liberal Democrats prove they are soft on crime (especially knife crime)
ID cards……
The UK’s DNA database, the largest in the world.
Andrew Neil did not get all his figures correct, and so his 832 crimes “solved” with the database is meaningless. It also proves that of 5.2 million (and climbing) people on the database, the success rate is getting lower all the time.
Did Andrew Neil pass his maths exams? Or is he just relying on New Labour propaganda?
Alan Johnson proud that New Labour have turned the UK into a police state, and he denies it is a police state. When you’ve lived in one you know the UK is one.
Closing statements on crime debate.
Gordon’s told another porkie?
Well I never.
Did it start in America?
“I think you’ll find people want me to get on with the job of telling more lies…” *gunshot heard off screen*
Ashcroft
British Porkies for British Workers
Tax Free cash for Tory candidates.

Personally, I can’t abide Alan Johnson.
Another identikit Labour liar.
Weird eyes ‘n’ all…
Agreed. Postman Pat is a lying ZaNuLieBor nutter!
I’m surprised he nearly told the truth about police numbers, though!
Huhne: someone carrying a knife may have it for protection!!! So you cannot put them in prison for that. Speechless. There are some big issues surrounding knife crime but I for one would like to see knife carrying members of the public put away – period. As for Johnson serious crime has fallen by 41% sorry in the real world that figure is a joke. Then we hear Murder, Rape and so on are excluded from the figures oh silly me they are not serious crimes. WTF is going on in this country. It truly beggars fucking belief.
You presumably don’t live in an area where the police have abandonned large tracts to the gangs
Having a knife in a public place is an offence for mere possession.. Having it “for protection” is an intended offensive weapon.
That’s why I carry an AK47.
True. Its also a breach of the green cross code not to stop look left, look right and left again before crossing the road but sane people do it when being chased by thugs.
I carry a can of Ralgex that I have made the spray hole slightly bigger,it’s worse than pepper, I know because I accidentally rubbed my eye after I adapted it and I have had cop pepper spray in my eyes. This shit is well worse.
Huhne’s statement alone should be enough to bury the LibDems.
Oddly enough I can’t find any reference to it on Al-Jabeeba.
He looks as though he’s no stranger to the old electric sauce.
What will happen if, god forbid, Labour do win is that they will cut the number of plastic plod, who aren’t real police anyway (jumped up council employees) so they can spin that police number haven’t been cut.
I can’t believe they considered him a future leader,what a slimy party line towing piece of dogshit he really is.
“Weird eyes ‘n’ all…”
That explains why the bastard was always delivering my mail to my neighbour . . .
The man is clearly Bricktop from “Snatch”.
We’re all nobbling the fuzz together
Grayling towered above the others in more than just height
I thought Grayling was good, and I’m a gayer! Was he standing on John Majors soap box?
I was surprised I have to say Grayling came across very well. Johnson was pathetic and Huhne sorry but he is just a windbag.
and he wouldn’t abide by the rules of the debate… asshole …. he had to be told off by Brillo and he kept on overtalking the others especially Grayling.
Reminds me of a butler in a hammer horror film though
Stuff that, love, get yer tits out

http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/04/the_british_obama.html
It seems that Britain is about to make the same mistake America made in 2008.
Last week here in England, we had the first of three “leaders debates” between the leaders of the three main political parties in the run-up to the May 6th General Election, and a new sensation is making waves.
The background to the debates is one of cynicism and boredom from the public, thanks to a failed Labour government and the lack of a substantial alternative. The current Prime Minister Gordon Brown is highly unpopular, and the 2010 General Election should be an easy win for the Conservative Party led by David Cameron.
Unfortunately, as Peter Glover explains in a recent article in the American Thinker, Cameron has jettisoned all semblance of conservatism in favour of the cosy centre-left consensus, and, along with a sickly sweet media campaign guided by Obama’s Anita Dunn (complete with references to “hope” and “change”), it has been a disaster.
Cameron is derided almost as much as Brown, and the Conservative Party are seen as just more of the same with a different label. Cameron has fudged the easiest election campaign in history, and it now seems likely that while the Conservatives could still gain the most seats, they will not win an overall majority, and the election will result in what is known as a “hung parliament.” This means that two of the three main parties will ally together, forming a coalition in order to attain a majority of seats together, with one party leader as prime minister.
Much as I despise the Limp Dumbs’, would a hung parliament lead to PR?
That report will be from ‘London, England’, I presume.
A pan of Westminster brodge, Big Ben, men in bowlers and double decker buses in the background or did you go with the shot of the fighter ace with a load of girls in the back of his sports car pulling out of the mews and saying ‘tally ho’?
and always in balck and white
It’s by a British writer, I think.
Just dumbed-down for the transatlantic audience then.
AC1: In the event of no overall majority of seats why is it not incumbent on Her Maj. to ask the leader of the party getting most votes to form a govmnt?
Becasue the idea is to form a government that commands a majority in the House of Commons.
Alsi, there won’t be time to go and find all the ballot papers in the bins at the back of the town hall and find out who go what
@Gobshite; My understanding of the constitution(albeit there is nothing written down) regarding the situation of a “Balanced Parliament” is that no constitutional legislation could be enacted as it would not get the Royal Assent…Her Majesty’s Advisors taking the view that in the scenario of no one party having an overall majority the constitution could not b changed without the seeking of a new mandate from the electorate
@Anonymous. Constitutionally the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister until he/she hands over his seals of office to the Queen. In the event that no party has an overall majority the incumbent Prime Minister whether their party has the largest number of seats or not is entitled to try and gain a consensus to govern first. Only if he failed would Her Majesty send for the leader of the main Opposition(This could technically be Nick Clegg if his party had more seats than Cameron’s although that’s unlikely).He would then have a chance to try and form a coalition and failing that if he was leader of the party holding the largest number of seats govern as a minority government. The crucial thing for all parties is that they must get their Queen’s Speech passed in Parliament if not then we are in unknown territory and probably a massive constitutional crisis. In the event of that that scenario the best bet is that HMQ would call on all three leaders to form a coalition to govern temprarily pending another election after a period of a few months and if that failed would probably grant another Dissolution. We would then definitely be in uncharted territory. Bear in mind that all this would not be happening in isolation..sterling would be coming under massive pressure and the Bank of England would probably have to raise interest rates with all that that would entail for the recovery.
Apparently there will be some bristols in the 2nd Prime Ministerial Debate according to Laura K

I hear my old mate Derek Draper’s trouble and strike Kate Garraway is for the knock.
I thought Johnson made one of the most cretinous statements I can ever recall a politician making –
“we released prisoners early so we could free up prison places – for more prisoners.”
Breathtakingly stupid.
Grayling was, I thought, surprisingly good.
Chris Huhne is a shining example of why this ludicrous Lib Dem bubble cannot last.
It was a surprisingly quick 45 minutes. I just do not get attraction to Lib/Dems they talk a good talk and then yu give it a couple of seconds thought and realise they said the opposite only the day before. They are the contradiction party sometimes in the same sentence. Surely they cannot be allowed to get away with this. I loved the luvvy duvvy Johnson spooning up to Huhne and then the look on his face as if to say NO your wrong I do not agree with you. Labour need to hone their skills when it comes to disguise. Looks as though we already have a Lib/Lab pact going on.
You’ve been listening to Vince “cognitive dissonance” Cable…
I have one piece of advice for St Vince – Keep smiling and if anyone asks why keep moving
BREAKING NEWS
LibDems say they fully support prison for anyone committing more than three murders in a year.
Huhne is just the Lib Dem version of Hoon
Huhne doesn’t want people who carry knives arrested.
I agree with Nick.
But the plod are arresting people who carry leathermans in their cars or briefcases. It is getting totally ridiculous. They will be locking up every boy scout next who carries a penknife next
I carry two knives. One of them is illegally long. I bought it in France for a surprisingly low sum.
One knife is my Swiss Army one. The other is an Opinel I use for picnics.
On the continent it is quite common to see a card of knives of various sizes hanging up in a café. There seems to be no restriction on their sale.
I’ve never voted Lib Dem before but I do like their policy on carrying knives.
I agree with Nick
Well to be fair, Clegg is going all-out for the yoof vote innit?
Carry one of these instead.

I’m looking forward to the Leaders’ Wives Debate.
Catfight!!!
Ah, Fiesta – The Leaders Wives Edition.
I suggest mud wrestling – the smart money will be on Big Sarah, those thighs could do some real damage. Senora Clegg would probably fight dirty in true Dago style, Samcam would be hopeless, although she might be able to inflict a nasty bite with that huge mouthful of gnashers.

I agree with so much of what Nick says you might aswell vote for him.
can’t wait for tomorrow’s chancellor debate.

Regarding the discussions on prison sentencing.
Johnson’s position is that reoffending is high among those first sent to prison because magistrates use prison as a last resort and therefore it is used for those who are already serial offenders; and, the magistrates are continually conscious of the limiting factor of prison capacity on sentencing.
Huhn’s (how do you spell that name?) position is that short sentences manifsetly don’t work because the rate of re-offending is 92%, therefore use alternatives to custodial sentences. Too lenient.
Grayling wants offenders locked up and to give a strong message to serial offenders that they face a long and unpleasant spell in prison if they continue.
The answer should be along the lines of the US policy, three strikes and your out, and with long suspended sentences as an option instead of the short first sentence. Reoffend and the criminal has to serve the suspended sentence plus anything extra.
Grayling is more on the money in my opinion and is right as well in that prison capacity needs increasing.
Wish the three strikes and you’re out had worked on Brown, three times the Labour party tried to ditch him, hopefully the people will get rid of him this time.
Three strikes and you’re broken up for organ harvesting and sale is the preferred Tuscan option.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Gift_From_Earth
Good plan.
but they are too stupid to realise ti
If someone’s in prison they aren’t offending outside.
Is thst too complicated for Johnson?
What is it about politicians that makes them think that magistrates listen to them?
Convict soup would be useful. I could feed it to my pigs and spray it on my fields
The length of sentences are not the problem. If anything, sentences on average should be shorter but with a tough regime of work, discipline and education. No early releases and luxuries such as televisions and radios to be earned only after sustained good behaviour.
This may seem overly cruel compared to how things are now and yuman rights wonks would be ringing their hands and screaming blue murder if someone were to propose such a reform, but I believe that a short, tough sentence is far more humane than the failed liberal idea of warehousing people for years on end.
Or send them to Afghanistan to carry out menial tasks for brave soldiers there
- perhaps even to detect and clear roadside bombs and mines.
Chris Huhne obviously knows nothing of real life with regards to crime. Much as I hate to agree with Postman Pat he was correct in saying that nowadays anyone receiving a prison sentence for criminal activity has already been bang at it, probably for years before being put away by a court. Huhne saying that 92% of prisoners reoffend upon release is stating the bleedin’ obvious. Of course they do, because of our liberal criminal justice system, they are already hardened criminals by the time they receive their first prison sentence. Some are hardened criminals before their first appearance in Juvenile Court! As many villains live in near hovels on shitty council estates, prison conditions are like five star accommodation to them. Don’t let the bleeding hearts try to tell you that prison conditions are terrible. If you see some of the tips and shitheaps some of these lowlifes come from a cell with clean sheets and three meals a day is no hardship. The fact is there is no deterrence in the sentences that are handed out nowadays. Even a life sentence can be just three to four years before parole is considered. If the LibDems have any influence on our already discredited criminal justice system then you better start fortifying your homes and buy stab proof and bullet proof vests…..better still, emigrate.
I bet Johnson’s comment on not protecting Police numbers will not make it onto the news. Already seen that the BBC only showed positive clip of Brown’s mauling on Radio 1.
Now lefty police chiefs are threatening to resign if the tories bring in elections for them. I say let ‘em get on with it. Many of the chief constables currently heading police service have been licking the boots of Labour Home Secretaries since 1997. Some of them are Labour sympathisers (are you listening Ian Blair?)
They have been fiddling crime stats for years with the connivance of the Home Office, although the government adopts a policy of “deniable plausibility” if the fiddles are made public. In my own force area some years ago we suffered a plague of street robberies. Blunket made it known that he wanted these robberies reduced. What happened? There was a sudden increase in “Theft From The Person” being recorded. I can remember one instance where a postman was dragged from his delivery van by two yobs who then stolle parcels from out of the back. This was recorded as “Theft From A Motor Vehicle”. Hey presto, the police and the Home Office boasted a reduction in street robberies in the area. Police chiefs connived in this deception. So let’s be clear, if any of our current set of bootlicking police chiefs want to resign should the Tories get into government, Grayling should willingly accept their resignations forthwith and get someone who will serve the public and not shyster politicians.
Brown the man of “figures”, but always gets them wrong. Alan Johnson’s demeanor was almost apologetic. The LibDum policies on crime are non-existant, they will reform all criminals, there will be no need for prisons, this will be what life will be like on “Planet Clegg”. As Grayling said, if someone commits a crime they will go to jail, and that is what we all like to hear….justice remove the criminals from society.
In general the parties should stick to their own message, and stop squabbling like kids in a schoolyard, they should say what they will do and Joe Public is adult enough to make the choice which policies will get this country back into good shape. I think people are sick and tired of this Labour givernment and want rid of Brown, we should all be working towards that goal.
Yep, Prison is there to separate the anti-social from society.
That’s why Thatcher abolished society.
You don’t normally post mong comments.
It’s not him
Unbelievable! I have just tried to watch Brown’s interview (in which he got well and truly kicked by Radio 1 listeners) on BBC iPlayer. When you click to view it comes back with the message
“This content doesn’t seem to be working. Try again later”
Shameful.

Sorry but we are aiming to match the contribution, to Labour’s party funding, made by Unite. If you don’t like it, lump it.

Will someone stick Huhne’s head in that trouser press and turn it to full power, please.
Nice one beeb, cut off live Camaron talk to go to a non entity reporting a non story at Heathrow. Fuckwits

Nice shot of Dave grabbing the Daily Mirror Chicken and ripping its head off though….. I bet that smarted !!!
Don’t worry all, Daves on SKY doing another ‘Big Society’ speech, Brown is finished.

It’s not a bad policy. The one thing Labour have proved is that Governments cannot run schools well.

Let me run them!
Fuckoff glitter i was first
HSBC would run a school a lot better than the any institutionally leftist LEA.
Agreed but would the parents keep wanting to be offered a financial review everytime they came to pick up little Samantha and Johnny ?
Yes I agree, we need to do more for ourselves, Labour are too controlling with big government, we want more freedom. When people do things for themselves they have pride, Labour have been chipping away at our self respect for the last thireen years.
Do you really think the general public have got a clue what such a vague policy means? The election is in 2 and a half weeks.
3 or 4 easy to digest policies on the economy, benefits, immigration and crime are all that is required.
Like Hi. I’m Dave and I can kick the shit out of Brown. Vote for me.
Is there anyone as anodyne and useless as Huhne?
He really is about as crap as you can get. Mind-blowingly useless.
If there is one thing to thank Clegg for it’s that he beat the cretinous arse to become Lib Dem leader.
Imagine what it would have been like if we were currently experiencing Huhnemania?
Fuck my old boots…
Huhne could have been telling porkies about never breaking the law apart from his 2003 conviction under The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Act (Amendment No. 4) for using a mobile phone while driving through London.
In 1973 he wrote an article about the benefits of consuming hard drugs that suggested that he had experiemented with LSD and Opium:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article2702639.ece
More seriously Huhne was under investigation in 2005 for using European Union expenses to finance four newspapers distributed to promote his candidacy for the British Parliament in the 2005 General Election. Charges were dropped.

Surely this is a blatant stitch up, even without seeing the incident. It does not add up. Man heckles Brown, meets Brown in private and then says will vote for him not Clegg.
Yep, you may be right. Seems like a change in Labour tactics. The Mirror seem to have sent a heckler dressed as a chicken to disrupt Camaron’s walkabout. And Gordo the magnificent singlehandedly talks round a heckler and persuades him to vote Labour. The bile is starting to rise. Any odds for another episode of Cameron heckling tomorrow?
Why can’t Brown just fucking die of a stroke or something? Sorry to sound so brutal but the man is a monstrous excuse for a human being and has done untold damage to the nation. Fuck him and his band of corrupt Hunts.
Who is deputy PM at the moment and would you want her in charge of evacuating holdaymakers from Calais?
Slight unrest in the ranks at Santander as holidaymakers stranded in Spain realise that there is not enough room on HMS Albion….”Another bloody cock up by Brown” they mutter as they are told to make their own way home

Surely the most important question of the next home secretary would have been how much porn they intend to claim for?
“That isn’t what Gordon said in the Leaders Debate…”
Well, yes, but history has shown us the mad Scottish cyclops can lie, lie and lie again and nobody ever pulls him up on it.
The dim witted electorate think that being Scottish and miserable must mean he’s intelligent.
So, well spotted, but it won’t make any difference. Most of the thicky voters believe the lie that he was a good chancellor.
They confuse him with Sir Alexander Chapman Ferguson, who is also a miserable Scotch git with a flexible view of the truth, but happens to be clever, determined and successful.
The B*NP have a TV broadcast tomorrow
I hope it’s on after the watershed. Seeing Gr*ff*n is enough to scare anyone.
Will the BBC give out there usual warning that “some scenes may offend people of a nervous disposition”
Ed Milliband just got fronted by a normal person, looked like he may wee himself.
Which is the moniker of your choice when it comes to describing Brown? Is it:
a) Jonah
b) McDoom
c) McRuin
d) One eyed mong
e) Broon
f) Macavity
g) C/unt
h) Fat, autistic, psychotic, one eyed twatty mong c/unt
The whole point of voting him out of office is so I don’t have to look at another bloody checklist for the rest of my life.

Clegg uses our money for pruning his fruit trees and phoning Vietnam:
Clegg’s defence is that it wasn’t very much money and he’s paid some of it back.
How would that stack up in the Magistrate’s court?
Better than not offering to pay any of it back at all like this expenses pig spiv.

Alan Johnson should retire and open up a sweetie shop and potter about in it all day. The man has no credibility left.
Sweeties are bad for your teeth. He should retire and take up stamp collecting.
Labour really are a bunch of wastrels.
As I’ll be hanging around for at least six months and many voters are stranded abroad then it is only fair that Gordo cancels the election for at least a year so that he can get on with the job of saving the world. This is what we all want him to do!?
Wasn’t the ash last time that caused the French revolution, stand by politicians for the terror.
Not really relevant to Scotland (or Northern Ireland now)
as Policing is devolved to the Scottish Government
What might be more relevant is tonights Scottish ‘leaders’ debate on STV at 9pm
Currently SNP are just sitting behind Laour in second place, with Libdums third
and the Tories 4th
ot sure if format is the same as he UK ‘Prime ministerial’ debates, should be interesting, considering the way Labour treat Scotland as some sort of feifdom
The UK opinion polls dont really reflect what happens in Scotland, the Toies will be lucky if they can hang on to their solo MP, the Libdems might increase at expense of Labour
Is there another word for ‘synonym’?
disantonym

We at the BBC and Gordon Brown are miracle workers. We only have to interview anyone who is not voting labour to convert them.

As acurately as a poo stick race on a bubbling brook.
Is that Poo stick or Pooh Stick?
Saw four planes flying very high over south London this afternoon amazing how clear they appeared with all that ash up there.
They are already safely stored in Aldershot
Due to registration problems(replay of 2005 ?) I thought that a lot of soldiers were unable to vote anyway
Can someone remind me, why does Chris Grayling hate gay people?
Why don’t you ask him?
Troll. Grayling was both physically and in performance terms head & shoulders over the two political pygmies. As for the Gay slur (yours) he addressed his views honestly.
He doesn’t. He just objects to a man sticking his willy up another man’s bottom within his own home.
What’s wrong with that?
