Balls Upsets the Townsfolk
It’s an increasingly tight race in Morley and Outwood and Ed Balls is getting desperate. Punters give the Tories a 47% chance of taking the seat. Last weekend the town turned out for its annual St George’s day celebration. Despite an unofficial ban on politicking, guess who put in an appearance, keen to get some local flavour onto his website…
First he muscled his way into a 
photo with the Mayoress of Morley, ignoring pleas to keep things non-political and exclaiming, “Do you know who I am? I’m the Secretary of State!” Then he further endeared himself to locals by crashing the reception in the town hall, where he was heard talking through the religious ceremony.
His electioneering was so brazen that independent council members organising the event decided to invite his opponent Antony Calvert to balance things out. To cap things off, as the townsfolk began to head to the parade ground, Balls decided he’d rather not make the short walk himself and barreled his way into the Leeds’ Mayoress’ car. Her elderly husband was forced to walk, but at least Balls got his photo op.
What a Hunt.
I don’t care what else happens at the election, if Balls gets his comeuppance I shall be cheering at the top of my voice. The man is a disgrace.

Hopefully it will be a one two result with his minger of a wife Madame Cooper getting the boot as well, now that would be a result (to start with)
Followed by Darling, Murphy, the oompa loompa thats Alexander, the Milleband boys..I could go on
Have you ever looked at Ed Millipede when he’s blathering away on a Mission From The Green God… he is like a human version of Wallace (as in & Gromit) …. all spacey teeth and deranged look of the obsessed… I keep waiting for him to ask for some Wensleydale!
http://www.aeropause.com/wordpress/archives/images/2008/07/wallace-580×580.png
I do so hope he gets booted out… A total cock; perhaps we can skin him and roll him in salt?
C Men
What is happening, 5 days late with the story?
Need to do better.
I fear your libertarian iconoclast mask is slipping and all we are left with is a Tory hack, plastic paddy with an un-natural need for big strong black man as a surrogate father figure.
Any thoughts?
Hello Tat. How’s YOUR blog? Got a job yet?
who stole Liam Fox’s Laptop with dave’s debate notes on it ?
Rubber coated, thick and sunk beneath 3 miles of water.
If that is the best you can come up with, don’t bother.
Consequently away to your darkened room and dream of Scratchy becoming a real man and Sniffy growing up to be Little Lord Fauntleroy.
There are plans afoot to make the denial ogf global warming a criminal offence!
Even though it’s a proven hoax! off course it is the Euronazi’s way of shutting us up while they destroy our freedoms and tax us billions into the bargin making the direct recipients (bankers and their investors rich). while continuing their plan to de-industrialise the west and turn it into a baron third world hellhole complete with unelected tyrannical goverment.
A campaign to declare the mass destruction of ecosystems an international crime against peace – alongside genocide and crimes against humanity – is being launched in the UK (deny the lie and you gat black bagged by the EuroNazis.)
The proposal for the United Nations (tool of the banking elites) to accept “ecocide” as a fifth “crime against peace”, which could be tried at the International Criminal Court (ICC), is the brainchild of British lawyer-turned-campaigner Polly Higgins(a stooge of the bankers?)
The radical idea would have a profound effect on industries blamed for widespread damage to the environment like fossil fuels, mining, agriculture, chemicals and forestry.(third world here we come).
Supporters of a new ecocide law also believe it could be used to prosecute “climate deniers”(people who tell the truth like lord monkton) who distort science(that would be their ipcc) and facts to discourage voters and politicians from taking action to tackle global warming and climate change(racketeers and traitors who will make billion in taxes and our goverment will give them the lot).
@ end of all freedom.
Very interesting.
Linky linky?
Two sources, one cannot be linked due to Guido’s censorship, but here is one along the same lines.

You really are a sensitive lot on Spunky Spunky.
Oh well at least C Men is doing care in the community for the right wing mentalist, GIB’by dog boiling segment of today’s Britain.
Yes, C Men has found a niche, oh Matron! as a social worker for the people who think that the Daily Express has gone all trendy and modern.
Away and bile yer heid ya wa’rmer.
I still can’t understand you..What language is this written in?
Can we offer you a government paid for translator to accommodate your needs?
That’s sanddancer jive from Toilets’ vernacular.
Still on tour in Narnia I see.
he either get’s humiliated in the General Election or gets humiliated in the Leadership Election
either way he’s well and truly fucked
but the swing needed for the Tories to win Morley is huge, so I’d bet on him getting shafted in the Leadership contest as being Browns ‘chosen one’ is going to be political poison after May 6th
I thought the swing required was fairly modest.
12.3%
12.3%? And the man a complete arsehole. And the Tory candidate pointing it out and electioneering on the fact.
I’d say Ned is looking at a P45. And very lucky it’s not a Colt 45 because that is no less than Labour’s destruction of the UK economy deserves.
John Gordon
How did your visit to the warehouse in Southern Africa go?
Did you tell the wife the taxi driver was dyslexic?
And, did she believe you?
The swing is modest but the drop is short.
Tar and feathering too!!
This excrement – the product of Gordon Brown’s arse – will be out on 7th May and will have been an MP for just 5 years.
Balls = H*immler
Brown = H*itler
And we know what happened to them.
Utter scum
Internet shitebag
You really are lower than a snake’s belly in a wagon rut.
Is this what you think constitutes political debate?
Progress for you was giving up green ink and learning to type.
Away and through shite at yerswelf ya muppet.
“Away and through shite at yerswelf ya muppet.” WTF?
Did you mean “threw”? New Labour educashun???
Failed Brasilian blogger
The word is “throw”, surely a man with your eductation can tell the difference between the present and past tense?
English not your first language?
Well English clearly isn’t yours, is it.
A very hateful left winger, aren’t you? Much like all other lefties – hateful, jealous, racist, hypocritical and full of lies.
I actually pity you, in a sick way.
You know, the sort of pity you feel for an injured animal.
Just before you kill it.
If you pronounce “through” the same way as “throw” then you really should go back to school…
Trot on you troll.
Maybe so. But isn’t Ed Balls the only one we know of caught wearing a Nazi uniform? Not sure even Nick Griffin has an actual stormtroopers outfit in his wardrobe. Well whatever turns you on, eh Yvette?

Balls “Balls Up” No surprises there then.
You really are a sorry example. A few posts back you said:
‘You really are a sensitive lot on Spunky Spunky.

and you have the nerve to complain about the level of political debate FFS?
Carry on touring.
No he’s converted me to Labour. I want Brown to continue his valiant work for the country for another 5 years. All thanks to Fat Man’s snide condescending posts.
I especially like C Men (conservative men?) = semen, Geddit?
Fucking genius!
This old heart of mine
My comments might lack a little polish but they are a statement of fact.
They were a reaction to an internet shitebag who in my opinion was out of order in his choice of analogy to put across his extreme displeasure at the performance and behaviour of two leading Labour politicians.
As far as I am concerned such comments suggest that a village has lost its idiot or a bar room has lost its bore.
Either way the person making the comment is beyond the pale of political discourse and needed to be reminded of that fact.
Comprendi ya muppet?
Ay, i love a good dust up on’t blog, me.
even though i often get shafted by all the clever buggers on this blog.
I’ve always got a good supply of nasty shite to spout
cos im full of it you see.
I am sorry for my postings above – I have not got my normal drugs today cos the missus is out banging for some dosh to buy them.
I admit that Balls is like the lot in ’45 and I do hope he gets shafted.
Sorry for my behaviour, Gordon Brown made me do it.
Please note that the above post is from an imposter.
Obviously C Men and the mob that run this site must be shitting themselves at the thought of anyone other than the usual suspects getting a word in edgeways.
Spunky Spunky is the site of choice for right wing, GIB’by, dog boiling mentalists and as such is beyond parody.
Please keep it that way but don’t steal other people’s IDs.
Fat Bloke,
If you stop contradicting yourself,that would help; If you want to raise the standard of political debate,that would be welcome but ‘comprendi ya muppet’ does not appear much of a step forward does it?
and who are you to say who or what is beyond the pale of political discourse?
PS I ain’t old and I ain’t yours
Fat Bloke, don’t mind the little bit of Polish, it’s your lack of a basic grasp of Englis that you should be apologising for
He’s Scottish, you can tell by the accent.
Obviously still stuck up there in the Labour stronghold of McColditz, spewing bile at us down here in the glorious warm weather of the South, because his IQ and work ethic never extended to getting up off his lager-soaked arse and ‘gittin a joab’.
Still, look on the bright side. With his witty ripostes and eloquent flair, the rest of us dont need to make too much effort to look like geniuses.
Forgive me lapsing into my nating tongue but:
Yer nowt but a numpty, a useless bam. The unwanted bairn of a radge faither and a midden for a ma. Away tae fuck wi ye heed the baw.
@NLJD
You sound worried that people reading this blog might confuse Fat Blokes ramblings with that of an impostor.
You haven’t been here long, have you?
Because everyone else on this thread can tell the difference. If you or your friends can’t differentiate, tough shit.

Oh come on, Balls is clearly Bormann.
or is that Balls is a bore, man? Either way it works.
I hope he loses.
Nope, Balls is just total Balls!
I thought his surname was an apt description of the substance holding his ears apart.
Balls, is bollocks.
He’s clearly a twat
BUT how big will his pension be (and that of his ugly-pugly missus) and his resettlement allowance and his ex-ministerial perks and the directorships-in-waiting and his ticket on the gravy train to Brussels?
The disgusting porker and his sow will still benefit at our expense.
He should be forced to pay for his part in the total economic collapse of the country – Nuremberg Tribunal for Economic Crimes (committed by Liebour ministers)
I really like the idea of ‘Nuremburg Trials for Economic Crimes Against the People.’I'd love to see Badger,McBust,Bliar and Ballsup in the dock.
Toss the bankers, city spivs and crony capitalists into the trial too. Not the bread and circuses to appease the sheeple that we have had so far.
No pension- only one term!
I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire. Is there a politician more detested?
Hello Tat. How’s YOUR blog? Got a job yet?
You’re new to this blog, aren’t ya.
er yes. mandy, brown, harperson,blears

I would pay good money to watch you getting “roasted” by Brillo and his new bint. She is definitely not a woman to take home a split pay packet to.
Just where does “Simmit” pick up these political munters?

Apologies for my shitty, unintelligible posts.

Arf…
Guido’s thoughts…”Don’t call him Brillo….Don’t call him Brillo…Don’t call him….”
And the award for SHITHEAD of the month is hereby awarded to Ed Balls
Oh to be there when Balls loses his seat. Are they sellling tickets?
Ed Balls, once a cock sucking piss bag of a fuckwit always a cock sucking piss bag of a fuckwit.
I beleive the term ‘piss bag’ should be hyphenated: -
Ed Balls, once a cock sucking piss-bag of a fuckwit…
I before E Mongo!
…and shouldn’t there be a hyphen in ‘cock-sucking’?
Portillo moment coming up.
Nobody deserves it more than this malignant, authoritarian, bullying shit
Quite right m’lady,but please,be polite & remember your manners.
Jacqui Smith
The Ginger Minger
Mandelson. Oh. Bugger.
goggle eyed dork get down the jobcentre pal
No need of the jobcentre for him. He has probably got a handful of well paid part time “non-exec” jobs lined up.
Goggle-eyed, surely?
what a delight to see this piece of squit ousted on the 6th….creepy two faced scumbag and the ascerbic tartlet yvette both make you puke
What a complete arrogant wanker!
The photo would suggest Ed is singularly gifted in the middle wicket department: a veritable tripod. No wonder Yvette’s scalp appears to be being pushed up from the inside.
Smallest cock in the commons I’ve heard
I know you can’t see your but take it from me it’s harder to imagine one much smaller than your flaccid acorn
Balls is simutaneously the smallest and the biggest cock in the Commons.
The floppydilistic-flaggidilistic paradigm, no less.
‘Hung like a pigeon’ was the phrase I heard
Yvette’s found a bigger one elsewhere apparently
In my pants
Or mine
It’s my only hope now, – now that I’ve been ousted by Gorgon’s New ToyBoy.
And all I have to fall back on is Evadne – and she’s humping a journo, – or being chased by the DarkLord.
Even my arse doesn’t fit around now.
After all I’ve done!
St George!
Still I could get on my knees and give favours to these knees.
Labour outraged at having to share the election with other parties. They long for the good old days of the Red Flag…. with a hammer and sickle on it. The Pigs look very much like the farmers these days.
Balls Out. Please.
‘Crushed Balls’ headline on May 7th?
Testicular cancer!
“Ballsacked”, perhaps?
Ache of Balls Defeat (Sun headline)
Vote for Balls sake! (Mirror headline, 6 May)
Mirror Headline ” A zero % increase in votes for Balls”
Balls Dropped or is that Milibanana.
Bloody typical!
What a Fucker but now unemployable.
you mean the fucker is gonna get dole?
But I was interested this afternoon, when I was leaving a garden visit we’d done at a Labour supporters house, to find that a local Tory had gathered two friends and a rather reluctant looking teenager to come and wave their blue placards, and one said to the other “These are most expensive houses in Cardiff so I can’t believe HE’s here.” I had rather hoped we’d moved on from the sort of politics, where people were supposed to pick a party based on their income levels and not their values. I hope it’s not a sign of Tory campaigning tactics to come!
http://www2.labour.org.uk/the-debate-about-jobs
they arent aware that they have become the old tories
Did Gordon knock any of the doors?
I am sure he would have got a warm welcome.
Or a scalding one, depending how good their kettle was.
jesus, these things *must* be written with the express intent of causing projectile vomitting, surely?
Any sane humam being must read that, and be utterly repelled, no? Just… yuccccccccch. Wankers.
Ed Balls – the only person who is fucking worse than Brown.
No, I think that spot will for ever be Michael Foot’s.
Why are shit labour leaders named after parts of the body? Balls, Foot, Brown?
I’ve just invented a new part of the body – “Brown”. It describes the rectum, for most folks, but is also a colloquial terms used to describe a Brazilian fist.
Interesting… so we medical professionals could now describe a rectal prolapse as a ‘Brown Out’… I like it. I like it a lot.
Colostomy bag: “Brown bag”
Excrement: “Brownian motion”
Faecal sample: “Brown bottle”
Anal sex: “Nooky Brown”
Clingons: “Brownies”
Fucked economy: “The right thing to do”
“Nooky Brown” = “Brown wings”
That has cheered me up no end – thanks. Just need to see Brown utterly discredited tonight and we can chalk this up as a good day.
Cognitive irrigation = Brown Storm
Never mind the Kinnocks!
They are two lumps of crap on the pavement,festering and rotting.
Brown and Balls
Sarah & Yvette
Says it all.
Whelan, Hain, Straw – the list is actually pretty long.
Thankyou m’lady. Nice,polite comment.
harperson must be in the running
How could I forget Hoon, Jacqui 5-bellies, Tessa “mortgage form” Jowell, MacShane, Sion Simon…
Careful the list is so long Guido will need extra bandwidth.
There’s more..
Woolas, MacNulty, Margaret “bouncy castle” Moran, Margaret Hodge, Gorbals Mick, Uddin, Truscott, Byers, Sir Stewart Bell-end, Chris “mirror man” Bryant
What a pack of utter hoons
He’s a Nazi and not in a good way.
I’d like to put this Ball under the Albert Hall.
ja ja I vas a gut nazi
Licking my balls then my Brown arse!
St. George’s Day. 23rd April (Friday) Were they having a dummy run?
If Morley does indeed turn into a portillo moment, what’s the odds that the 7 May headline in the Sun is:
“BALLS OUT”
?
If he gets booted to the House of Lords in GB’s honours list, will the headline be BALLS UP?
Gordon’s writing is so bad he’d be nominated as a working pier.
I’d love to see him buried up to his head on Blackpool beach…
‘Ead down or ‘ead up?
…if he’d been stranded in Europe, would it have been ‘Balls Cut Off!’?
If he survives and doesn’t get selected for the leadership it will be ‘BALLS DROPPED’
i just saw nigel griffiths driving round the corner of west mayfield/mayfield road at 12.34pm holding a mobile phone to his mouth using his left hand and yapping away. laws don’t apply to him i guess
He wasn’t using the video camera was he?
no, he only uses that when he’s invited girls to his commons office
Invited them or slipped them a few hundred quid?
Is that Sarah Tweet-Beard’s sister on the left, she looks like she has the same genetics ie. legs?!!
I misread that as Sarah Teather’s beard’s sister.
A Sarah sandwich came to mind.
Feel a little ill now.
Is it wrong to wish an early death on a fellow human being? Yes. So it’s just as well that Balls isn’t a human being.
PRICK
I hope Cameron’s learnt from last week’s debate and sticks the knife in tonight. No more softly softly. He needs to make a persistent and intense attack on Brown to provoke his famous temper live on TV.
What an endorsement:

Why modded guido?
Moderation on this blog is completely random it seems.
I don’t think there is anything personal or content-related about it most of the time.
I think it’s just a stupid ‘must put every nth post in the moderation queue’ rule.
Sort it out Guido FFS.
I’ll just say again, I hope Balls loses. He deserves to.
Its the mad eyes of a fanatic (for what nobody knows) that get you., can we have our Balls back Missus?

On aggregate.
What about the away goals rule.
That is the away goals rule. If no one wins outright then Labour win.
I am rather saddened by the ommission of one, Bob “slot me” Ainsworth, in the line up. I suppose intellectual giants like Bob, are always unfairly neglected in the beautiful game.
Perhaps it was end*sment…
Anyway, looks who’s backing Dave:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/04/robert-mugabe-david-cameron-conservatives
What’s the message? Vote Dave, get Mugabe?
Mugabe, like Brown, lives in a bubble where everybody constantly tells him how fucking fantastic he is and how every idiot decision he takes is like a divine revelation.
Ergo, since Brown and Mandelson were unkind to Mugabe he has decided to have his revenge by endorsing Cameron. There, that’ll show you Brown – that’s you fucked now – everybody hangs on my every fucking word. Quite literally in Zimbabwe of course. He’s only got to say the word and they hang you.
So I’ve got this wrong? Brown isn’t fantastic? You mean, his dispensation of tractor stats is not the divine word? And to think that I’ve spent the last week agreeing with Nick because it was the right thing to do.
Mugabe knows competition when he see’s it.
Hang Brown
By his cock until dead.
Hello voters! As Gordon will be removed from office on May 7, I’ve started planning my campaign for the Labour leadership. I look forward to becoming the leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition and fighting for YOU, the ordinary hard working British voter, who will be ignored by the next Conservative government. Only Labour wants to help the ordinary man and woman in the street. And with your help, I will win the next election in 2015 and become your prime minister!
Harperson as Prime Menstruator. I want to be sick.
I think her days of menstruation are long passed. She’s 60 this year.
It’s started coming out of her mouth instead
It’s all over Blair’s (and Brown’s, and Straw’s, and the rest of the cabinet’s) hands.
Yeh, body of a 60 year old and the mind of a 6 year old.
Body of a god. Shame it’s buddha.
Mentally unstable, limited experience, dodgy husband. Big backers, special interest politicking. not too bright but very manipulative.
Hattie is the Left’s Sarah Palin.
Without any of the sex appeal.
Maybe all Harriet needs is a good exorcism.
Maybe that’s what Brown needs too come to think of it.
Thanks. Harperson and a crucifix and an exorcism. That has just given me an image I don’t need. Now I definitely want to be sick.
Yep, I would like to spin Brown’s head 360 Degrees. That should do the trick.
720 just to be sure.
A damn good exorcism. Looks like she hasn’t had one for a while.
Silly girl.
No posters up at your house yet though are there?
Ball’s is a Hunt
Its all over but the crying
Balls, Brown, Mandelson. Only two bullets.
Decisions, decisions…
Put them in a line and two might just be enough if strategically positioned.
Save the bullets; just kick ‘em to death
Shoot Balls and Brown – Mandelson needs a stake through the heart.
Shoot one of them and then sell the global TV rights to watch the other two fighting to get the gun and save themselves.
Brown. Twice. Just to be doubly sure.
Give the gun and a glass of Scotch to Brown.
Tell him “its the right thing to do”
Give the gun to Brown and tell him to ‘get on with the job’.
Chances are, he will finish off the other two.
A word of warning
High Court clarifies blog libel liability
Blog owners must leave potentially libellous comments alone until notified that they are breaking the law or risk court punishment, the High Court has ruled.
Alex Hilton, operator of a Labour Party opinion blog, Labourhome.org, was taken to court by political activist Johanna Kaschke after a site user’s submission accused the activist of roots in terrorism.
Writer John Gray’s post stated that Ms Kaschke had been arrested in Germany for links with the Baader-Meinhof terrorist group. While not denying that she had been arrested, Ms Kashcke was not adjudged to be a terrorist supporter and sued the site for libel.
Mr Hilton claimed against the libel charge that, though he ran the site, he did not edit or vet the articles and should qualify for the same protection granted to search engines or ISPs under the E-commerce Directive.
Regulation 19 exempts information providers, such as ISPs, web hosts and search engines, from liability for the information they store or pass on to users as long as they are not involved in its creation or editing and remove it quickly once notified that it breaks the law.
But Mr Justice Stadlen ruled that although Mr Hilton had not edited the article, he “exercised some editorial control on parts of the website and in particular on the homepage.”
During its time on the site, Mr Gray’s article was added to the sites “Recommended” blog list. Upon its entry, the article was given far more detail, including date of upload, pictures and extracts on the homepage.
These activities, said Mr Justice Stadlen, “went beyond mere storage so that Regulation 19 immunity would not be available in respect of liability for defamatory words appearing on the homepage.”
Any alteration, even correcting spelling mistakes and punctuation, removes protection under Regualtion 19, the court ruled, meaning Mr Hilton was liable for site content.
Mr Hilton’s lawyer argued that such drastic measures give operators an “incentive not to monitor their sites with a view to removing offensive material”, but the court rejected the argument and further trails will assess Ms Kaschke’s claims for libel.
So STOP moderating us Guido

OOPS
You are TaT and I claim my five pounds.
and oops I just went and deleted that
Good move on the part of the Testicular One. Little does he realise that the more people of Morley & Outwood who see this utterly repulsive creature, the better it will be for his opponent.
My election night worst-case scenario is that just as Primarolo steps up to concede defeat, they cut to Balls losing his seat. I want to savour both with a fucking jeroboam each.
Harman Pride!
Completely forgotten about him.
We should do a roll of honour on May 7th for all those Labour footsoldiers who lost their jobs in the Whore to end all whores that was New Labour.
Hardwidgger. Charles – Private – Queens own.
Ambrose – Fishponds – Petty comment officer – Submarine service.
Jimmy – J. Highland regiment
Elsby, Gary – RN. Stoker.
anymore?
Lest we forget.
The Onanist.
Actually he’s still here. As is Harman Pride. They just change their monikers and their IP address and off they go again.
New Apple probably. Got to have the latest one doncha know.
Either that or a different council office.
Jonty
Well, back in HPs day I replied to one of his trouser-trump missives and was told I would be going “on (sic) the dossier.” I couldn’t think of anything to be more proud of than being a Pike on the clipboard of a Labour thug.
Martin Day. What a ball bag.
I read a post signed by George (Hi Fidelity Glasgow Uni) yesterday on Coffee house yesterday!
Gordon Brown/New Labour, the dangleberries on the UK’s arse.
Anyone but Balls!
Is it just me, or does anybody else think that he is a dead-ringer for Mr Blobby?
You bastard!
He’s more like Piers Fletcher Dervish off The New Statesman
It’s going to be soooooooooooooooo sweet on May 7th when he and his freeloading wife are both out of a job and he without a seat.
Wonder if he’ll blub when the count is announced in Morley & Outwood?
From blinky to blubber Balls.
Fabian tossers (sorry, couldn’t help myself).
The fact that they just won’t get why the electorate has turned against them is why they are so unsuitable for public representation.
It’ll be quite a hit to the family pocket won’t it? Combined annual tax-payer smash-and grab of 500K a year down to 65K plus expenses.
Oooooh. That’s got to hurt.
I hope it hurts him very very much indeed.
Do the good people of Morley really know who they are voting for? He wears nazi outfits: http://tinyurl.com/4v2xt7, he flipped his home 3 times in 2 years: http://tinyurl.com/2c7c6z7 and he put in a claim for £33 for remembrance day poppies: http://tinyurl.com/r4kggh
Anyone there voting for him must be either retarded or as corrupt as he is.
I sincerely hope the prospective Conservative candidate has made the people of that constituency, well aware of the utter venality of Balls and they vote accordingly.
Mandelweasel just been on WATO decrying “dirty tricks” by the Tories over Clegg’s alledged expense anomalies.
Even Martha Kearney was chuckling and suggesting that it was interesting hearing condemnation of smearing from the master of the dark arts. He didn’t deny that he was a master of the dark arts….
Nobody asked him how he knows the Tories are to blame. (They might be, of course.) Could have been a Labour smear op, as well…
Mandelweasel condemning political smearing. Funniest thing I’ve heard all week.
A smear is only a smear if it is untrue. Surely the Great Poobah knows that.
Whenever somebody uses the words “smear” and “Mandleson” in the same sentence, I get this horrible horrible image involving two naked men and a jar of peanut butter.
Do I win £5, or do I just need help?
***Retches discretely***
Mandelweasel has a nice ring to it. Mandelsmear has a ring to it also, but not half as euphonious.
A lie told often enough becomes the truth…Joseph Stalin.
I would love to see the sanctimonious Clegg attacked in Sheffield and given a clockwork orange style kicking in the underpass by his local Hallam constituency hoodies. They can chuck the putrid remains into a skip behind Cowley Street next to Charles Kennedy’s empty whisky bottles, Tennents super tins and Chris Huhne’s conscience.
They have ruined the Liberal party.
The Liberal party have been shit since Jo Grimond’s day’s.
Any news on the Glasgow Labour Party Mafia.
Nothing to see there, move on.
Her elderly husband was forced to walk, but at least Balls got his photo op.
I’m sorry,I just don’t believe that!
You’d better believe it! My feet ache…
Let’s hope there is nothing incriminating on Mr Fox’s laptop
Blow for Cameron as burglars steal top Tory’s laptop hours before crucial TV debate

Jeremy.
As interesting as nick clegg getting a kicking from hoodies would be. There is no chance of that occurring in hallam.
Hallam whilst being ‘up north’ is the wealthiest consituancies outside of london.
Actually beating Cheshire…..
http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2002/aug/14/uknews1
Damn I always knew he was a closet Tory
But it’s not in Cheshire is it, so it doesn’t count. It’s in a grotty county somewhere else.
I could ditch EU my pension and still retire tomorrow on 750 a month…….
Does that not go to prove I’m not in politics for the money?
Thanks, Mandy for backing me up – us EU pensioners need to stick together!
I was there… Antony Calvert decided that him and his followers would take on anyone who wanted at the tug-o-war. Queue hundreds of kids dashing to the opposite end of the rope and proceeding to drag poor Antony and his team across the rugby ground…
It will make him look a good sport though
Slightly O/T but a good expose on Lib Dem allowance fiddling – http://bit.ly/9TUgTX
Ed Balls is a swivel-eyed cock trumpet!
He has the sort of face you’d happily punch until you lost the use of both of your hands in a bloody pulp.
How entirely typical of this fucking git to muscle in on a non-political event and show off his ugly pop-eyed fizzog.
Oh, oh how I hate him!
He uses the same Barber as Hitler you know!
Pencil a moustache on his pic and he’s Hitler’s twin.
Balls loses his balls in ballsy election night, continued Pg. 94.
Stop Press……Stop Press……..Stop Press………
Breaking Tory News scoop!!!!
Ed Balls drew a rude piccy on the blackboard and Cleggie flicked a boogie
Once a shit, always a shot. So’s his wife.
hahah. Correcetd version.
Once a shit, always a shit. So’s his wife.
fucking nutty little mad eyed twot.
Balls’ behaviour seems (literally) incredible (as in fantastic; unbelievable) – if it is all true.
He’s a seasoned politician – did he imagine that any or all of his actions would remain unpublicised until after the election? Any one of them would be good fodder for Private Eye – all of them make for the kind of story that’s passed round the water cooler at the office.
Maybe he’s been in a position of power for too long – but that will change soon…
Just decided to send another Tenner to Mr. Calvert’s fund (didn’t he play the Trumpet – or was that his brother, Eddie?).
GB; Sarah loves marmite I love marmalade. #marmite

Brown love man sauce
So THAT was the stain on her skirt. Where exactly does the gorgeous pouting Mrs Brown love the marmite to be, erm, ‘applied’?
In the Brentford and Chiswick area tonight there is our first Hustings meeting and surprise surprise our Local Labor MP Mrs A K££N has just discovered she has a prior appointment and so will not attend. More important than meeting your consituants during an election
Witnessing liebours hilarious collapse like this makes me wonder how many others will be joining the Right Honorable Ed Balls at his special moment. Blears, the flipping chipmunk from Salford? Bercow?
Only 2 weeks to eternal irrelevance now, comrades!
Go back to your constituencies, and prepare for 3rd party nonentitiness!
Hey, if its a hung parliament how does who sits where at PMQ’s get decided?
They rotate like porkers on a spit.
Ed Balls is a monkeys bellend with a post office red rubber band round it
So, if Balls ceases to be a Minister, surely he loses his security people……
If this gets rid of him then it was worth him doing it!
Not sure that I quite take this story entirely at face value, but at list we have a silly pic of Ballsie to chuckle at.
P.S. you’d think he’d look at himself in the mirror before he went out. Look at those sleeves!
Here’s a better picture of the goggle-eyed one:

Why let facts get in the way of a good story?
The photo is actually of the Lord mayor of Leeds, Cllr. Judith Elliott, who lives in Morley and has been Morley Town Mayor previously but isn’t at the moment. Morley is a dormitory town of Leeds.
The Lord Mayor of Leeds has the use of a Limo which has an extra row of seats. Of course, they may well have had others in so Terry elliott OBE (& justice of the peace) may well have had to walk. He is pretty fit for his advancing years though.
The Town Mayor doesn’t have a Limo, but they occasionally rent one. (It is precept payer’s money, after all).
What’s left of it after they paid off the previous Town Clerk for unfair dismissal. That accounted for about half the total precept that year, didn’t it?
Balls and his Mrs would be among the first up against the wall on 07052010 if I was in charge. Just after Mandelson.
It’s a pretty big fucking wall.
Balls you are a fucking Hunt
His wife is a fuckin horror.
They are very well suited, those two. A pair of ugly Hunts if ever there were…
A Telegraph hack begs to differ
Balls upsets a lot more people than the good people of Morley.
He really upsets me…
Jesus what a total cretin Balls is. Pity no one had the guts to say yes we no who you are, your one ot the uselss Liebor tossers that wrecked this country now fuck off.
I wish I’d been there.
Ed Balls was offered a lift in the Lord Mayor’s Car, the Lord Mayor’s consort was given a lift in a different car.
The Secretary of State quote was made to be when I was taking a photograph for “Englands Standard” the in house magazine of the Royal Society of Saint George. The Leeds Branch organise the St George event in Morley. Mr Balls was joking as he said it, neither he nor Mr Calvert went on that photgraph but are on number of other pictures I took of the days event.
I don’t think Mr Balls offended anyone, really
I’d like to applaud Guido for catering to his diverse readership by focusing on the non-partisan parts of the election campaign.
Ed “twat” Balls losing his seat? That’s something everyone can enjoy. The Michael Portillo of 2010.
