    Scandal Sells says:

    What a surprise. Huhne the number 1 story.
    Let’s hope you don’t get scooped again Mr Fawkes.

    There are still more Liberals in the Coalition who may have been very naughty indeed.

      Up sh1t creek says:

      Will the Liberal democrats get that sinking feeling for backing Conservative plans to cut the deficit Labour racked up in their 13 year vote buying binge?

      Clearly Ed Balls and the greens seem to think that the private sector has an unlimited amount of money to keep the public sector going.

      • 17
        Con-Dem Wobbles says:

        Simon Hughes has already warned in Parliament that any tinkering with the coalition agreement will result in it’s collapse.
        And the planned cuts are just that, “plans”. The tax/cuts ratio will inevitably rise.

          over 300 British troops have died for this says:

          • Multi-millionaire Tony Blair says:

            It made me, as a pretty straight-forward kind of guy with a whiter-than-white government and an ethical foreign policy, very very very rich. Apologies to the deceased.

            Did I mention I’m very very very rich?

          • Tony Cameron the Heir to Blair says:

            It will make me, as a ‘we’re all in it together’ kind of guy with ‘new politics’ and a Blairite foreign policy, very very very unpopular.
            Apologies to the deceased for the next 5 years.

            Did I mention I’m very very very rich too Tony?

          • Scoop says:

            This morning I will answer a question that has been been asked by many but answered by none, not Gordon Brown, not David Cameron and not Barack Obama: why are we occupying Afghanistan?
            The answer is this: to enable the CIA to run the global heroin trade.
            The American economy is in free fall. Oil, upon which the growth of the American economy depends, is running out. China is taking over.
            The Americans needs to generate cash quickly.
            The CIA have been tasked with taking control of the global heroin market to provide that cash.
            That is the reason we are in Afghanistan, to help drug dealers make money.

          • Multi-millionaire Tony Blair says:

            Yes, we know you’re rich, Dave. But you were born into it, whilst I had to work for it. Do you have any idea how many men women and children had to die thanks to the policies of Labour? Tens of thousands! That takes effort, Tory boy. Hard work? Try lying to Parliament, the electorate and the UN. Try murdering tens of thousands of civilians. That’s hard work.

            I earned my millions, mate.

          • Tony Cameron the Heir to Blair says:

            Cameron backs Blair on Iraq war – 2006

            David Cameron said it was important to do what you think is right
            Conservative leader David Cameron has said he still believes going to war with Iraq was the right thing to do.
            In an interview for BBC’s Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, he said the war had been “very unpopular” and some bad decisions had been made since it began.

            But Mr Cameron said “those of us who supported” the military action should “see it through”.

            He praised Tony Blair’s reform of the Labour party but said he wanted the Tories to be “the party of the future”.

      Ampers says:

      It’s not getting scooped that worries me, it is his statement…

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

      I would be worried with some of the MPs being behind me!

          A very bored man says:

          Dunno. But what about miners and skydivers? They could be below or above Guido, respectively. And people in the room above or below him, too.

          And some people could be stood next to him. He didn’t think of that.

          And scientists who’ve been shrunk by the Combined Miniature Defense Force in The Fantastic Voyage could be inside him, battling antibodies in his bloodstream, while a little Donald Pleasence is trying to sabotage his kidneys.

    Fawkes – why have you not replaced the quote of the day for something unforgettable from Dinabbutt’s interview?

      albacore says:

      So, a hideously white BBC drone got uppity with some elite group Aunt Sally.
      Big deal.
      You know, it’s strange but I just had to go to Google to find this, since the BBC search itself was curiously unhelpful:
      http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/10391126.stm
      Closing about a third of our magistrates’ courts and maybe umpteen county courts just ain’t show-biz newsworthy, is it?

      • 11
        Gordon Brown stole my pension says:

        “Closing the courts will save the government at least £15m a year in running costs, plus an extra £22m in maintaining the buildings.”

        Hmm. £37m saved annually, yet we spend £8m more than that every day on our EU membership. I think I know where I’d swing the axe.

      Gordon Brown stole my pension says:

      It gets even better, because whoever wins will be duty-bound to appoint the others to shadow-cabinet positions. Different leader, same old crappy useless dejected Hoons.

      The electorate are really going to go for that. Not.

        Morning Frankie, sorry forgetting myself there.

        I made a number of extremely delicate remarks about the (wonderful, amusing, learned, enriching, apposite, memorable) remarks of a certain TaT on the previous page but, somehow, they must have been cleared away by accident.

        • 63

          Basically don’t want Tat related commentary full stop.

          • MAD FRANKIE HADDOCK son of COD says:

            GUIDO :TaT just comes here to wind people up
            and stick his beak into other peoples posts
            copying other peoples names and posting under them
            some times you remove posts that critisise TaT
            over time he has managed to get rid of several good contributors his most recent attacks being on Nell
            i dont know why you let him continue
            Unless TaT is actually you Guido ?
            do you lead a double life !

          • Can't remember my moniker says:

            Makes you think, doesn’t it, Frankie? (Returning to my normal moniker that I still can’t remember!)

          • Can't remember my moniker says:

            And, Guido, in relation to your comment, nether do we, we are fed up to the back teeth with it ….. (several full stops!)

          • twats says:

            but what will the windowlickers do if they can’t accuse everyone and anyone of being TaT ?

            it’s the only pleasure they have in their sad pathetic life

          • Boo Hoo Hoo Hoo says:

            Please don’t cry MAD FRANKIE moniker
            It’s very very sad watching you demean yourself whining like a little pussy

          • What is this a TaT fan club reunion? says:

            Ladies, you heard Guido, he doesn’t want constant TaT related commentaries so shut the fuck up you plebs.
            You can understand how he feels though, Guido is supposed to be top boy here, after all, it is his blog for Christ’s sake but everyone keeps going on about their hero TaT all the time.
            It must be very annoying indeed for Mr Fawkes.

    'Hoping' our troops come home in five years isn't good enough. says:

    The public won’t wait on five more years of pointles slaughter in Afghanistan.

    If Cameron doesn’t tell Obama to fuck off today and get the troops home long
    before then he’ll split the coalition and end up as popular as Blair.

      Gordon Brown stole my pension says:

      We have troops in Afghanistan who are too young to remember the start of the war, and they have to stay there until 2015 whilst the Afghans build an army. WTF have the Afghans been doing for the last 9 years? Does it really take 14 years to train an Afghan soldier?

    Good to see that kenclarke and dominicgrieve the attorney general are both apparently in favour of releasing the records relating to Dr Kelly’s death and for there to be a Coroner’s Inquest.

    bliar, campbell and lords falconer and hutton need to be looking for a bolt hole in a country that does not have an extradition treaty with us, fairly soon, it would seem.

      Nell there is no point inserting asterisks and what not into your posts to subvert the moderation system. Because you do that you have been auto-modded. The more you try to subvert the algorithm, the less it likes you.

        I just get a bit intrigued with it. Which word is it that’s modded and why? What if I change a word or insert something else for a vowel.

        A remarkable race are the Persians
        They have some strange diversions
        They make love all day, in the regular way
        And save the night for perversions

    There was a young nun from Siberia
    Endowed with a virgin interior
    Until a young monk
    Jumped into her bunk
    And made her the Mother Superior.
