Miliband’s Millionaires
For all the hustings and the hype, what really makes leadership campaigns successful is the hard cash. And no surprise that favourite David Miliband has raised nearly five times that of his closest financial rival Ed Balls.
- David Miliband -£185,000
- Ed Balls – £28,000
- Ed Miliband – £15,000
Abbot and Burnham haven’t even raised enough to need declaring yet. Ouch.
So where is Miliband’s money coming from? He has declared that there are three Lords pulling his strings. Blair’s old chum Lord Sainsbury gave £20,000, Lord Alli used a proxy company to give £50,000 and Lord Puttnam threw in a cheeky £10,000. The novelist Ken Follett gave Balls the bulk of his money. Cha-ching.
what waste of money
I’m surprised bollocks has raised any money at all. When his Donate page has been displaying this message right from the start.

Fools and their money..
I can understand it with Lord Sainsbury; isn’t he the arrogant pillock who managed, before being sacked, to get his supermarket chain demoted from the Number One spot down to .. what is it now? Third place or is it fourth?
As for the others.. unbelievable. Wealthy and older than 30 and yet socialist. Unforgivable.
Socialism is circular.
When you are poor you are a socialist
When you are just getting by you are a Liberal
When you are well off you are a Tory
When you have so much money that giving away £300 million wouldn’t hurt you, you are a socialist.
“When you have so much money that giving away £300 million wouldn’t hurt you, you are a socialist.”
Sorry Bill, but when it is YOUR money, you are a philanthropist.
If I ever make a billion quid, I’ll prove you wrong.
I am always right.
I am never wrong.
I’ll have you know that, even though one campaigns for what one believes are things that they (the poor) want, one must remember that one is inherently, – and at heart – POSH.
And that means that only the extremely wealthy can afford to be socialist.
I am rich enough to be a socialist. And so is my dear boy Gorgon. And Millisquit.
Others do not count.
Why feign surprise?
But I must rest a little longer after a leisurely champagne luncheon. Then I must approve the menu for dinner and other necessary chores.
Oh and write something for my adoring Grouniad readers.
But that nagging ache is coming back again. It’s the thought of Gorgon! Oh his voice! His deep thrusting response to my questions! His searching analysis of my . . . ! . . Oh . . I‘m going . . . . don’t help me! . . . let me bliss out in status polytwadlicus. . . !
I can offer them a right proper fxxking cuppa of Rosie Lee, served on a socialist silver spooned platter and me wearing me right proper uniform of the working masses…….blah blah blah
Remind me never to read a Ken Follett novel, let alone buy one. Just shows – you don’t need a brain to be a successful writer.
Raul moat now a danger to the public
Lies
ah i didn’t finish my post above because i wanted to get the first one in.
anyway, they bill have arrested two more guys and what I think one scenario is they (2 people arrested) are using in there defense that they had no choice but to provide with help because he’s getting desperate and may harm the general public trying to escape.
another scenario is the camp fire was just a decoy and he’s now on his way down to london/spain/wherever and totaly thrown the police off his trail.
I read on another forum the Raul Moat is very well known on the prison circuit and has alot of underworld contacts who’d go out of there way to help him.
very well known on the prison circuit
Prior to his recent brief spell in prison, he only had one previous conviction.
the club door circuit is better than the masons
I’m sure it came in useful helping while you were amassing your £300+ million pound fortune Mr Curtis Warren.
Underworld? That’s where he might be!
Check the river Styx.
Aye! Det Chief Supt Neil Adamson (who has the IQ of a clothes peg) said, at rate of one word ever 58 second, while swing his head from side to side like an elephant shagging a horse, Moaty is now going to start killing paraplegics with an axe (hooray!)
The officer you mention is not much of an advert for the police force, but then the female Chief Constable of Northumbria (?) with her exceedingly weird hairdo and equally grating voice is even worse.
One wonders if Mr Moat has actually widened the scope of his targets – or are the police seeking to justify a shoot-to-kill policy when Mr Moat is finally apprehended? The local police force has been made to look utterly ridiculous and there is nothing more guaranteed to spur the police into tardy action than to target one of their own, irrespective of how many of the public they may have let down/gunned down in the meantime.
After all, if the threat, apparently made by Mr Moat as he was about to leave prison, had been acted upon, then one man shot dead and two others serious injured might have been avoided.
She does look a bit like Caravan Beckett and he sounds like Wearside Jack. Is this a coincidence?
This Moat bloke is taking the piss. Get the piano wire ready as I don’t want to pay tax to lock him up again.
Run Moaty, run. Honk your horn at 6pm tonight if you want Moaty to evade capture by Plod,
The plod have only said that Moat is now a danger to ‘the wider public’ because when it was police only he was sworn to slot, they feared that the public would not be too bothered about turning him in.
They were right too, nobody I know could care less if the uniformed branch of the Inland Revenue, gets wacked. The police crossed the rubicon, a long time ago.
Follow his tweets, the plod obviously aren’t

The People’s Flag is deepest red…
The gift that goes on taking. Chase the money, and you’ll find the real story.
I want Daphne Miliband to win so that it’ll look really good when the leader of the opposition is asked awkward questions about torture, rendition etc. He’ll then have to resign leading to another leadership campaign, one that will see the ultimate victory of satan’s little helper.
So Mr Wonga, you wish a shapeshifter – the person you call Miliband – to become the Leader of the Socialist Rich List. He isn’t a homo sapien, of course but a Klingon pretending to be a Vulcan. And only alien sorts can interpret his real purpose. You will note that both he and his brother appeared on your Earth. Fully formed. There was no childhood…….like John Redwood, another…….
Cardassian?
It takes Satan’s money to get his helpers into power, and Satan controls the media and history curriculum so that the matter of how Hitler and Lenin/Trotsky got the huge amounts of money AND FROM WHERE is never discussed. Here’s a clue: Satan lives in Wall Street and the City of London.
Politics is dead
If only all politicians were dead, too.
Satire predeceased it.
what right minded person would give any of these a single penny?
I would, if it were a highly radioactive penny, or a penny with an little transmitter in it that let an overhead Predator drone target the position with Hellfire missiles.
Here’s 5 pence and you can do the lot of them!
Good plan!

What’s that smell?
Why? He’s just another parasite.
Yes, but a parasite that executes members of Labour’s paramilitary wing, The Plod. They who battered the heads of peaceful protesters in Parliament Square, they who harass and demonise the decent whilst turning a blind-eye to feral chav scum.
Should I hate him, should I like him? Ooh, tough choice. I think I’ll go for “like him”. I like him very much.
More money than sense, unless, of course, the terms of payback are favourable!!
Whatever are you suggesting about the Liebour Party ??
you should get a few hits soon.
the new gov think they are going to sell a bank.think again.

labour must like wasting money
We can confirm the signing of Moat as his shooting skills are the best in the world . He has signed a 4 year deal and will be payed 160k a week , He will wear the number 10 shirt .
army rumour service has him down as good land crafter and the plod as knobs
is it true that this raul bloke is more popular than the labour party ?
and the condems,ie politicians
Yes, he has only killed one person
Labour hate Moat because he is in favour of cutting back police numbers.
Labour employed Moat to make Michael Howard and his prison reform look like a c’unt
Police?
Don’t you mean uniformed extortionist’s?
USS Nimitz: Relay to UK/N/Police

How come we are suddenly seeing hundreds of police descending on Northumbria kitted out with better body armour than the boys out in Afghanistan? They are better armed too.
I wonder how long they have had this kit and how it was paid for.
Put some speed cameras up. He’ll walk into one soon enough. We all do.
Moation detectors
Someone need help with finding motions?
With Re-Moat controls
Maybe he’s holed up in a Moat-Hell.
These jokes are Raoully awful.
I just heard some of the lads in the Legion say that.
Crazy. Imagine if it took a thousand Squaddies to go out on patrol to capture just one lightly armed Taliban.
You do wonder where all these police go when there’s no great spectacle. Do they hibernate in pods under railway bridges? Do they while away their time stop-n-searching? Or are they doing “paperwork” (ie. playing World of Warcraft?)
Attending diversity awareness courses, probably. And loving it. Flicking through the coursework books, every page showing a smiling non-white face, just like Labour’s vision of what Britain should be.
On a lighter note, I think the Plod should hire Douglas Hogg; he’s pretty good at getting moats cleared.
Because the PC Service is the state security force. Getting “them” up by keeping us down.
Yes the Polices main job isn’t to catch criminals but to keep the honest people in check and bowing down to filth in westminster. And this hole incident just goes to show when you do take a stand how fragile and incompetant the politicans state enforcers really are.
The soldiers in afghanistan don’t matter (to them). The police do because they are force guarding the politicans front doors.
BBC are going on about gays entering the UK to claim asylum.
“How can you tell if someone is gay?”
Well, I suspect bumming them would be a good indicator. Anyone who screams No..no..Allah help save me from Big Barry! is back on the plane.
It’s a poofs charter. I trust the authorities will deport them the first time the are spotted taking a girl out.
Do you imagine for one moment the “authorities” will ever monitor hundreds, soon to be tens of thousands, as soon as the word gets around, “gay” asylum seekers, escaping “persecution” in the Muslim world?
Dream on, we can’t even deport Hamza to the U.S. FFS, because the EU have ruled his “human rights” are in danger Stateside.
What chance sending anyone back to the ME no matter what they do or have done if they play the “gay card”? Precisely, zero.
All rag heads are bourneville takers……vide T. E. Lawrence and his Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
So as well as B****R**t, Britain is now haven to ***s, *******s, *******s, *******s, *********s, the Bliars, and all the other dross that infests this corner of the world.
Thanks Gordo, Thanks Bliar, thanks for f****** b*gger all!!

£185,000 would have paid for cataract operations to save the sight of 6,000 poor people in Africa.
£185,000 would have paid for 12,000 trees to be planted to appease the gods of global warming.
£185,000 would have supported the cocaine habits of five political ‘media consultants’ for a year (with care).

LOVETT’S PIES – A NICE SURPRISE
I need a snack. Gimme fifty pies and a
doggysick bag for later.Puttnam. What a fucking hypocrite. He spent years wanking about with a superior attitude as a left winger with social conscience and here he is donating to a warmongering prick who’s on the Mossad payroll.
Puttnam lives in Ireland, so would be immune from any consequence’s of a Milimoron Premiership. Oh yeah, he is an arch EU drone and traitor to boot.
Ken Follett owes his success to balls. He’s been writing it for decades. It’s only fair that he gives something back.
Ba-doom….
nice to have friends with large and open pockets.
wasn’t a cash limit applied to this campaign?
as for our Marxist, its amazing what a tilt at power and control does to any ethics and morals about the rich and wealthy.
Wy ay man. Some blook called David M. has sent me a letter sayin a guy by the name of Balls has been blowing his beans up me missus! I aint fockin havin that, man!

I like to emoat.
This Moat fellow has upset me! I want to be the only mentalist in the nation! I am very angry! I need to vent! Rocking horse time!
Poor old dave militwit. bliar and mandy said he was the true heir to blair and yet neither one of them have donated a penny.
Mind I get the feeling that bliar and mandy both, are very skilled at finding ways of scooping money into their bank accounts in large quantities but tighter than gordon about spending it on anyone except themselves!
nell my poor dear don’t you know by now that the puppet masters can arrange payments via their own banks very quietly
Nope bliar won’t be parting with any of his ill gotten gains, take my word for it.
I do wonder though what on earth militwit is going to do with £185k. That’s enough money to support four or five families very comfortably for a year.
What the devil is he spending it on? or is he having to bribe people to vote for him?
A Jag and a chauffeur to start with…like all good secondfgeneration Marxists
Then probably a nice violin for his wife
Only hope he doesn’t piss in it…
I just hope he doesn’t come to my fucking house.
fuck me Mark Leech,spent his time on R43

No, there isn’t, Martin.

The shit pigs are now lying like bastards, and looking more incompetent and dumber by the minute.
Sky have just interviewed a Rothbury farmer who found someone had broken into his holiday cottage. He phoned this into the police yesterday and they came out to see if it was moaty today. So what are all those police upto if they can’t chase up a lead like this within 24 hours?
Hiding. In fear.
Following the debacle over the Coalition Government’s swingeing cuts of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union, said:
“Pupils, parents and school staff across the country are not only reeling from the devastating news of their school building programmes being slashed but also from the confusion and inaccuracy surrounding which schools are in or out of the project.
“Cutting the school building projects is totally unnecessary and is jeopardising the educational future of many children and young people.
“Thousands of parents and school staff should be deeply angry that the Government has chosen to exploit the schools’ building programme to benefit a privileged few pupils on the grounds that they will be educated in an academy school, rather than those pupils in dilapidated buildings.
“The NASUWT believes that it is time for schools and parents to voice their concern to members of Parliament.
“I am therefore writing today to every school on the Government’s list to encourage them to support a lobby of Parliament on Monday 19 July.
“I will also be meeting with other education unions later today at the TUC to seek their support.”
It’s a Moat day Martin
There’s no money left – good luck !
I caught something about a union official.. saying something.. being p*ssed off.
Good. Didn’t bother reading the rest, though, Martin. Couldn’t care less.
How’s the job hunting going?
So why wasn’t she asked why the previous govt had done nothing in the way of maintenance for the past 13 years which would have obviated the need for all these new schools. Just askin’
start the car !
You can tell that England are no longer in the World Cup. Sky tv is wetting its proverbial knickjers (they’re Dutch) over Manchester City’s latest signing.

Will Harry Roberts record of 3 months be broken ???
Killer Harry Roberts, who shot dead two cops in 1966, evaded police for three months living rough in Epping Forest, Essex.
Roberts used the training he gained as a soldier in Malaysia to survive after gunning down officers he feared were about to find guns his gang had used in an armed robbery.
Like Moat, Roberts – now 74 and still in jail – knew the area he was hiding out in having camped in Epping Forest as a child.
Moat not out his great innings of 3 not out over 7 days is the greatest rear gaurd innings ever seen in cricket . the number 11 batsman hung around to save the test match
Northeners get your farm on the TV by saying “Im sure Raoul slept in my barn last night”
Moat left a note ” Just shooting up north “
The mote in plods eye.
5 million current bill for Moat hunt.
Will they want this moat cleaned up when they get him?
If so . . . I know just the people.
Re- cleaning out moat, see I was cheap after all.
The so called police are shit scared of any nutter with a weapon.
Six real policemenn, rather than social service workers masquerading as cops, should be able to track and kill this crazy fucker. Armoured cars, SAS, reinforcements – ffs are we hunting a platoon of Viet Cong.
Cops are nothing more than blouses in cod pieces.
So I was at the surgery, pants down, cock in hand, I said; “Is this normal?”

Lord Puttnam formerly known as David Puttnam. Often described as a film producer NO HE WAS NOT [ or at least no good when he tried his hand, fired by Columbia].
He is an advertising man and a typical shallow shit supporter of Blair and co.
Can any Labourites explain the difference between Balls’ Lordly donations and the Ashcroft ones to the Conservatives please????
No……. thought not.
That does it: embargo!
I never shop in Sainsbury’s, watch a Puttnam film or buy a Follett book again as I dislike their politics.
The public have been donating too much money to these people, so much so that they have thousands of excess to chuck at Milipede.
‘ang on.
Putnam is a British movie luvvie whom is using his private wealth to subsidise a particular politician, nothing to contentious there one might think. Except….
….. Lord Dave is a British movie luvvie. Ergo he must have been in reciept of flippin great chuncks of dosh in the shape of subsidies from the UK Taxpayer. Extending our thinking it is not unreasonable therefore to conclude that Lord Dave’s wealth stems in some part from the UK Taxpayer. And if that’s truly the case then it’s te UK taxpayer who is, indirectly, subsidising Millipede Minimus’s leadership campaign
Is that kosher?
