Goodbye Melissa Lightwater

So the Londoners’ Diary got the scoop that was four years in the making – the Speccie’s secretly authored column, Tamzin Lightwater, the Bridget Jones of the Tory world, was penned by the Sunday Telegraph’s Melissa Kite. Entertaining readers and irritating CCHQers, her insight and titbits about life in Dave’s war-room were remarkably accurate given the amount of people, often on the inside, sending tips her way. Guido is kicking himself he didn’t make the connection before – all the clues were there – she ended up Associate Editor of the Speccie and, if her Facebook profile is anything to go by, she has more than a passing interest in horses and Tory-ness. The column is wrapping up now the Tories are “In Power” – so long Tamzin.

    Yep, the rightwing bloggers are losing interest now the maximum imbecile is exiled in Scotlandistan.

    Letter from a Tory was the most recent to close his blog.

    So what now, leftwing blogging is on the up.

    Guido, you need to regroup, relight the fire and find a new angle if you are to stay in front.

    Even Iain Dale is looking for a new career as Petrie Hosken’s faithful Border Collie, jumping into the driver’s seat when she pops off on a jolly.

    The new coalition 1 story-a-day news cycle is leaving us all a tad news-light!

    Even the 150 quid appearance fees are drying up, especially as the BBC are having to save money for their war chest.

    Could we be witnessing the first blogosphere famine?

      nell says:

      Concern over world population control has been about for at least 30 years. When did China introduce it’s law that each couple could only have one child? India did something similar in the 1970′s when it tried (but actually failed) to limit families to two children.

      Let’s face it starvation in the third world, where over population is more prevalent, is a constant problem.

      An even bigger problem though is that of the aggressive salesmen from m+ons+anto exploiting those fears particularly in India where they have promised that their GM seeds will solve the world food crisis by producing more food from the same acreage. Despite claiming that their expensive seeds, which Indian farmers struggled to afford, were drought proof and would produce high yields, monsan=+to’s gm crops failed in India’s notorious drought ridden summers. Farmers are going b++ankr++upt in their droves.

      Now Russian scientists, who have been carrying out investigations into gm foods fed to several generations of gerbils have said that the gm food resulted in the gerbils becoming less reproductive or even sterile.

      You and I might be horrified at such a finding, but I suspect mons++anto chiefs realise that here is yet another lucrative sales avenue to aggressively pursue and this time with world leaders rather than the farmers at the bottom of the food chain.

      I wonder where caroline spelman and her gm foods lobbying husband fit into this jigsaw??!!

      Consequently, I’ve covered the table with a large blanket, stocked up the shelter thus created with tins of beans and bottled beer, and for the duration, shall emerge only to visit the bog and listen to Test Match Special.

    Cassandra King says:

    It seems that the true nature of the new government is shining through now with Osbourne telling us taxes will have to rise to pay for the eco/green fraud.
    Oh yes tax rises to finance rich people getting richer and carpet baggers exploiting the subsidy scam.
    Every scam artist and crook will be licking their lips in anticipation of the new goldrush to come, it will make the EU CAP look small time. Subsidising projects like windfarms with taxpayers money in order for rich people to get richer by milking those who can least afford the crippling taxes already in place and the coalition wants yet more taxes to be thrown into the black hole of the eco fraud.
    Windfarms are the very essence of the fraud, they do not work,are hugely expensive,do not even generate any net electricity and their sole aim is to run a meter showing how much free money the owner is raking in by subsidies. Wherever a subsidy is in place the fraudsters gather like hyenas round a sick buffalo and just like the EU the king of the subsidy fraud the UK is following like the good dog it has become.
    All you who voted ‘tory’ deserve your fate, you truly deserve do and you aint seen nothin yet!

      It’s more like trillions if you factor in the carbon credit trading – an immediate injection of hundreds of billions of invented credit into the world economy, backed by the promise of taxation on the consumer.

      If you thought Enron was bad, just wait for the carbon credit shysters to start milking the gullible and trading imaginary money for fun and profit.

      If you’ve got the patience to read it, you may want to take a look at http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/reprint/empirical_evidence_for_celestial_origin_of_clim_osc.pdf

      It’s a bit heavy on the maths, but it shows how little the geography students who pass themselves off as climate scientists understand about the factors influencing our weather and temperature – as an example, over 60% of the ‘warming’ seen from 1970-2000 can be explained by natural processes, and that’s without a proper adjustment for the urban heat island / land use change effects.

      Keep it up – you’re always insightful, especially when you disagree with me :P

        Thanks Para for that, will read it ASAP, it could well be trillions if the bastards get away with it.

    O.T. The Deepthroat oil spew is a monster global catastrophe. Pretty soon the Gulf Stream will sweep the slick towards Europe.

    There is something sinister in the reaction by Gov’ts and Transoceans actions to this. The list is long, but here’s a few:

    a) The US Navy and Coastguard should have jumped in immediately. Possible detonation of a nuclear device in the well head to cut the flow.

    b) O’Barmy is deflecting responsibility to Britain, when we all know Transoceans and Halliburtun (Dick Cheney again) supplied the safety valves.

    c) Oil drilling in US has regulators. Just like the banking crisis, they were paid off to not do their job.

    There is a monster oil field below the Gulf of Mexico (similar to Saudi, which has been spewing over 100,000 barrels a day for 70 years). If it’s not capped it will cause Global devastion.

    Strange how the ‘Green’ groups have gone quiet! Why? They’re in the pockets of the oil companies and Gov’ts (just like the ‘Tea Party’ has been infiltrated by the neo-cons).

    Dave should be tough on Barry this weekend. So far, Dave has made good progress on the deficit, Afghan, vision etc. I’m impressed and surprised!

    Tally ho!

      I’m not sure a nuke would have been appropriate, but surely the use of a suitably shaped charge to forcibly collapse the pipe should have been considered?

      It could have been done the day after the failure, and yes – there is something funny going on with oil and gas in the US at the moment. There were two explosions of natural gas pipelines last week, both apparently due to workers puncturing the pipeline while drilling holes to erect electricity pylons. I can’t believe that even the Yanks are stupid enough to do that, especially twice in a week.

      It’s almost enough to make me take my tinfoil hat out of the cupboard!

        Hey Paragnostic. Some are estimating 200,000 barrels a day. This is a v. powerful oilfield and they wont fix it with sellotape. BP are saying it’s under control, but it isn’t. MSM are talking about the clean-up, but the filthy stuff is still gushing out.

        The sheer power of flow demands a massive explosion…

        Russian oil experts predict a change to the Gulf Stream. I’ve read rumours that this was deliberate, but will keep a sensible head on conspiracies…

        • 209

          I can’t see it changing the Gulf Stream course, but what it could do is to further sterilise the warm water by reducing the oxygen content – both by the oil itself mixing in the water, and by the effect of smoothing / sealing of the surface by the slick.

          This would not be a good thing for fish stocks on either side of the Atlantic, and may well kill off the European eel for ever – they migrate across the Atlantic to breed, and any disruption in the Gulf will be catastrophic.

          If there is such a thing as cod futures, today might be a good day to start shorting them…

    A man is walking along a deserted beach, finds a lamp and proceeds to rub it. A genie appears and grants him any wish.

    “I wish I was always hard and could get more arse than anyone else”

    So the genie turned him into a seat at the public toilet.

    David Miliband's Press Officer says:

    Britain’s economy grew by 0.6% in the three months to May in a sign the recovery is gaining momentum, a leading think tank said today.

    The National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR) said its estimated quarter-on-quarter hike in gross domestic product (GDP) was “the first real indication that the economy is growing at around its trend rate”.

    NIESR’s May calculation comes after it said GDP rose 0.7% in the three months to April.

    But the group warned that severe Government austerity measures to cut the public debt could hamper the path of recovery.

    The debt crisis across Europe could also knock UK growth, with a strengthening pound adding to export pressure, according to NIESR.

    It said that, while there had been “a clear improvement to UK growth”, there are “a number of factors which will impede growth in the coming months, the most serious of which is the stupidity of the coalition government”.

    NIESR said the UK was now in a period of “depression” – a period when output is depressed below its previous peak – which was likely to last for some time,since the election of David Cameron as Prime Minister and the failure of the coalition to solve the problems created by Lord Ashcroft.

        Well, clients are canceling orders and BQ industries had a compulsory two weeks holiday. Lads are quite pleased with world cup on and all. Hope They realise that if it doesn’t pick up by July, then that holiday will become permanent.

        It is slower now than at any time since 2007. That’s bad as 2009 was barely survivable.

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
