Commons Drinks Up Just 5%
Regular readers will remember much fanfare from Bercow when he announced that, in these austere times, the cost of subsidised food and drink on the Parliamentary Estate would be rising, bringing it into line with “high-street” rivals. So the cheaper end of the real world.
Half a million quid will be removed from the subsidy, but what does that actually mean in practice? Guido’s man behind the bar whispered that for all the press releases and back slapping, the plan is to only put prices up by a meagre 5%. The Commons bars and terraces will still be the cheapest place to drink in town even after this small rise. The Guinness is half price by Central London standards, cheers.
Cheeky barstewards.
Huntz
WTF are they doing drinking alcohol at work anyway????
There is absolutely no case for having booze there at all.
If they “need” it, they’re not fit to run the country.
if you took the alcohol out of the system in the uk the place would grind to a halt..get real anonymous
What do you expect when they can hide 90% of the overheads in other budgets? The staff get hidden on the HoC Services payroll and the water, electricity, cleaning admin and all the other costs get subsumed into the general running expenses. There are no rates to pay and probably no taxes either, and there’s probably some secret codicile in the relevant acts that means the Parliamentaryestate escapes VAT and excise duties – not to mention compliance with all sorts of H&S regs.
Any publican would also be able to charge low prices like that and still survive without subsidy if he could offload all his similar costs onto the newsagents’ shop next door.
Bastards!
They really consider Foster a beer? How quaint. They’ll be stocking Watneys next.
Fuckit. Fosters, not Foster.
Well spotted. It is, of course, tap water, to which has been added: colouring, flavouring, preservatives and a bottle of neat alcohol, all mixed together and carbonated in a big vat.
I misread the last word (vat) and immediately thought… who in the HoC or HoL would fit the description, “colouring, flavouring, preservatives and a bottle of neat alcohol, all mixed together and carbonated in a big twat.”
Any guesses?
I can think of at least 640 suggestions. Plus however many are in the Lords.
Fosters is weasel pee
How do you know? have you ever tried weasel pee?
Nah that’s the recipe for Castle Lager from South African Breweries.
Fuckin barstards its still cheaper than the beer round here (essex)
….. but the whores are pricier
Yes, but so much more versatile. Get the shots after, of course.
I dunno, I once knew this girl in Colchester who could …. well let’s just say in my experience tricks like she could perform don’t usually come so cheap.
the KCL SU is cheaper actually, fosters is only £2.05
KCL bar was always cheap but they served terrible Guinness.
Is it still called the Nelson Mandela bar or did they change that once he was let out of prison?
it’s called Tutu’s now
Time to prep the lamposts
Hear hear!
I think in the spirit of equality and diversity, they should impose Sharia law on the Houses of Parliament. Quaffing beer should probably be a good whipping, and forcing the taxpayer to subsidise the beer (and Fosters) is theft, so that’s a bit of amputation.
Then a bit more amputation for the expenses scandal. Any penalties for lying? Maybe a bit of stoning. Back-date all punishments to 1990. Cool?
Sounds good to me
the KCL SU is actually cheaper at £2.05 for a fosters
[OT] Never let it be said the money we give to Afghanistan isn’t being well spent.
Hail all us who banned ourselves
Military jets now for Moaty,this is a fucking joke at our expense
1 in 10 of all the armed police in the UK.
The entire Northumbria Police Force.
The SAS.
Now the RAF.
All outwitted by a doorman.
If they really want to catch him, tell HMRC he has been fiddling his taxes.
So now’s a pretty good time to raid a bank in London?
Im in.
Yes, but Plod have found three phones!
I thought they were looking for an on-the-run murderer, but, no, apparently they were looking for phones, so Plod’s very happy.
Three phones
One Duvet
And a tent.
If they can’t pin the shootings on him at least they can do him for fly tipping
They could do him, but not if he lives in a caravan. If you live in a caravan, fly-tipping is legal.
Filthy pikey scum.
is there a cuddly bear?
Were they Nokias? McMental needs a new supply. He’s smashed the last lot.
Perhaps Moaty could send them over? He won’t be needing them any more.
Are they going to Bomb him?
I reckon Moaty is a dead ringer for Gazza. I would strongly advise all tall well built Geordies to stay well clear of Rothbury
Police have reported significant developments in the case of Raoul Moat now they have found three of his mobile phone handsets.
It means that using state of the art GPS technology, they will be able to use satellites to plot the exact location that they are in whilst they fail to find him.
Yea, and pigs might fly, when ejected from a ballista.
Moats’ in London, laughing his balls orff, and plotting his next assassination or 3.
What a load of Huntz.
No arguments here for cutting police numbers and ridding opurselves of morons.
Moaty 4 – Filth 1
Please remember all this effort is because he is threatening the public, if he was just threatening the police obviously we’d just shrug it off.
Is it just me or does Temporary Chief Constable Sue Sim resemble “Alice” out of the Vicar of Dibley?
Seems Gazza is one of Moat’s mates. From Ed Fraser’s Twitter page this evening, this is surreal -
http://twitter.com/frasereC4
Gazza stuff is bizarre. Says he has brought Raoul Moat a dressing gown, a can of lager and a fishing rod. Police won’t let Gazza talk to RM
Gazza: “I jumped in a taxi with broken ribs and brought some food for him, lager. I know he won’t shoot me.”
Gazza: “I was going to walk through the moors and shout Moaty it’s me. As far as I’m concerned he is a nice guy.”
Gazza: “He is a lovely bloke I know that. I think he’s frightened. He’ll put his gun down but is scared in case police shoot him kill him.”
Ed Fraser again,
Can confirm footballer Paul Gascoigne is on the scene in Rothbury and claiming he knows Raoul Moat and wants to talk to him
gazzas lost the plot he should head over to hamas country and offer his mediation services there…awyee
And this from
http://twitter.com/paul_a_smith
Seriously. Get online, Real Radio North East. Gazza thinks he’s only man who can talk #Raoul #Moat down. Holy shit.
I’m at Real Radio. Gazza is live on the air. He’s in the car, going to see #Moat. He’s blankets, chicken and a fishing rod for him. No lie.
They will be spraying the area with agent orange next.
Thank God we didn’t scrap Trident
The Met could deal with this by following him onto a bus, letting him get off, fo down the underground, sit down on a train – and then shoot him.
Yeah, I’m amazed that the Police are having such trouble shooting dead a bloke with a Brazillian sounding name.
I’d advise him to stay away from the tube though. They’ve been practicing there.
Just the minor problem of getting a nuclear submarine up to Rothbury. How deep is the River Coquet?
There’s always Blyth harbour. Blyth already looks as if it has been nuked.
Whey man, ya cheeky bugga, like. Blyth folks is suffering wondering wees ganna be arrested next!
We’re so concerned about the public we’re all volunteers at the moment and not claiming overtime.
Lying troughers, they had a cheek to try and impose an increase the price of cider for the taxpayers.
Troughing b***ards
You imply i am piggish Sir! I challenge thee!! Blackguard!!
I am going to the pub
get some nuts
Shildon Labour Club is cheaper than that.
Mind you it is a complete shit hole
Are these prices from around 10 years ago?
Eh? Why am I being moderated?
This bastard coalition.
The Amateur Swimming Association has expressed its disappointment after learning that £25 million of funding which was due to rejuvenate the nation’s swimming pools has been axed as part of the Government’s spending cuts – but has acknowledged the move was not unexpected and urged its supporters to vote Labour at the next General Election
The money – due to be allocated by Sport England on behalf of government departments DCMS and DfE – was going to be made available to modernise council and education pools.
Forty-four projects in total have been affected and they are being informed that their applications will now not go forward.
Sorry , theres no money left .
They will have to water down their expectations
Public swimming pools. Those are the things chavs p!ss in, aren’t they?
The loot was going to be spent making them Muslim friendly, i.e. closed to all the rest of the local community.
Figures.
If the Amateur Swimming Association wants to improve swimming pools, why don’t the swimming pool operators increase the admission fee a bit, and use the extra revenue to improve the swimming pool?
That way, people who don’t use swimming pools (because they’re full of chav p!ss), aren’t forced to pay for their upkeep. Or is that too difficult a concept for Martin Day and others of a socialist mindset to grasp?
My local council pool is available to the general public for about 20hrs a week out of 90 odd total hours, i cant be fucked to memorise the weird timetable as im not a ‘lunchtime lady’ and couldn’t give a fuck about aquatone. Happily the local hotels are much better
My local rural leisure is a fantastic example. Those wicked thatcherites built and it was well used. Under a labour council and labour government it went downhill and was closed 2007 due to H&fuckingS. A local businessman gathered enough funds and skilled tradesmen to re-open it, council says no, wait till we have more money so we can have something greater than anyone wants or needs. Roll on 3 years, and labour have pissed the funds up the wall. A generation of local kids are now unable to swim. Vote labour to make dark thoughts reality.
The local businessman’s plan presumably didn’t tick all the correct multi-culti diversity boxes.
Did the plans for the diving board show access for wheelchairs? Was there a prayer area, with room for prayer mats?
They have modernised out local pool, the shallow end was 3 feet deep now it is only .90m deep
One of my staff tried to buy ten dozen clout nails for the piggery roofs. The ironmonger would only sell him twelve tens.
You want to swim?
Pay the price of entry to a swimming pool rather than expect your non-swimming taxpayers to foot your own bills.
All these wingers need to realise that these is no money left. If you want a pool get out there and raise the cash… don’t just grind on about it
cynic I thought wingers wanted pitches not pools
Gordon swims in pool without his incontinence pants.
Witness heard to say “I’m not really swimming, I’m just going through the motions”
After all the bluster and bullshit about “all in it together” typically Westminster serves itself greater helpings than everybody else!
You can always rely on the likes of Bercow have his piggy snout up the front.
twice as pissed for the same money in the real world…not a bad deal..tring I thank you
Only in the world of licensed premises is £1.30 half of £2.40.
yes but close Sir William..don’t think my butler studied the maths to the nearest 10p when he bought this matter to my attention but have a large one on him in compensation then nod off again…..hic cheers barf tring

Brew your own,it’s cheaper,purer and stronger
ps,and the muzzy on the night shift can’t piss in it.
I’d need a production line to quench my thirst, and my home’s not big enough.
Waitrose are doing a deal on Abbot Ale at the moment; 8 500ml cans for £8. I got slaughtered on it last night, after the bottle of wine and 2 G&Ts.
Collect or buy 26 demijohns from charity shops/local tip, forage or grow as much as possible, strawberries just finished, rhubarb going well, blackberries in flower, elderberries starting to swell. Once you are up and running, just buy sugar (poundland) and you’ll have 6 bottles a week.
Cheers
That does sound fun. Thank you, I will try it.
It works. Parsnip wine is dynamite, as is sugar beet (should you live in Norfolk and can source the beet).
Elderflower champagne ready at the weekend. Cheers!
oh shit I’m fucked I’ve got 27
6 fucking bottles a week? What fucking fuck am i to do with six fucking bottles a week? All that effort for one night of being mildly tipsy? Go fuck. Costcutters do great 3 for £10 deals on fortified wines, tastes like shite but because i havent eaten in 4 months its a friggin bargain & i can still pay my rent. Though shitting in the communal hallway because i sincerely believe i am a pigeon occassionally, may just cause me to be evicted nonetheless.
Brew your own is for losers.
Do you sh!t blood too? I do.
much more entertaining if you were shitting from the window sill
yes but its what the abbots put in that stuff thats out of order…dirty habits these religious brewers

That sounded like such a good idea, I googled “how to distil vodka” and found this part of a FAQ:
“3) Will it make me blind ?
Not if you’re careful.”
I think I’ll stick to the shops.

When Gordon hears that Great Division Bell in the sky I shall visit his grave and pour a whole bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild over it. Mind you, I’ll filter it through my kidneys first.

I’m lactose intolerant.
Please feel free to add ‘body’ to parliamentary refreshments. Hawk one up for the populace.
Are these costs from around 10 years ago. What was the price of bear in 2002 per pynt. Lying troughers!
I can only afford the 2.99 bottle of Lambrini wine from the local off license and it is like drinking my own piss.
try the piss it will probably taste better
Police were today investigating a dramatic new sighting of fugitive gunman Raoul Moat – brazenly walking down the High Street of the Northumberland village at the centre of the police hunt.
Details of the incredible sighting came just hours after temporary Chief Constable Sue Sim told a village meeting: ‘I’m not saying he is going to be walking down the street with a gun.’

Dear Mr Moat, if you want to hide from the police, the best place to go is Portugal
I have never been caught
Northumbria police have taken fish off their canteen menu.
A spokesman said “There will be no more little fishies on the little dishies till the Moat comes in..”
Of course I have considerable influence in these matters. I’ll bring down the price of them pies an’ all.
WOOOP!
And, Guido, where the hell are you drinking that Guiness costs £4.40????? That’s mental.
Guinness.
Ooops…thanks for the correction.
I hope it turns out that Raoul Moat got on a boat to France.
It would be great to see the whole country surrender to one gunman!
Never got over 1066 did we!
Ah well… Harold never saw the point either!
William the Conqueror wasn’t French, he was Norman.

A little tipple is warther what is wequired when we’re woking or westing in the House and you’re all jealous. Mine is like the bwand they dwink in Balmowal and it suits me warther nicely, don’tcha know.
Sppoky. That’s 2 summers on the trot the word “moat” has been all over the headlines.
Don’t believe a word of what I say. It’s meant only for the Daily Mail.
i want to know if they will be messing about with the the ploughman’s chutney portion
Questions will be raised in the House, it might even lead to a pubic enquiry.
Where I worked, any form of tipple was not allowed on the premises. Why on earth do we allow the people running the country (supposedly) to do so when half the time they are all “tired and emotional”?
Isn’t there a case for banning the stuff from Parliament altogether?
I like and egg nog with my cheese on toast
Northumbria Police will be offered all the assistance required from the army,navy and air force in their efforts to apprehend Raoul Moat. If that is insufficient, we have now moved two Polaris submarines off the mouth of the Tyne and our NATO partners has been put on standby.
with hair like that the acting chief constable needs protection against being assaulted by Raoul Gummidge…although looking at the kisser he’ll probably just give her a headboarding.
Alternatively, an old chap in a tatty Barbour and a flat cap could track him down in hours with a couple of bloodhounds.
Cool Hand Luke operation needed

Ridiculous!
If one of Moats m8s is reading this please pass on my best wishes at such a show of guile and tenacity.

Moaty not caught yet? I blame Sue.
Do you reckon they really talk like that when the cameras are not there? It was crude propaganda.
they talk like william Shatner on startrek
Bonus points if they say “diversity” or “cohesion” or “moving forward the police service experience”.
Government need to sack every police officer and make them all re-apply for their jobs.
And no, Sue, don’t bother.
You wouldn’t want to drink any of that pasteurised rubbish anyway.
Apparently Raoul Moat is on Twitter, the Police are following him.
I fully expect my position to be made permanent at the conclusion of this operation.
In yer dreams Gummidge.
if you came to the press conference with the rollers in or with your head under one of those dark age hair dryers we might take you more seriously…and whilst we’re at it try speaking at a pace slightly beyond andy pandy for beginners.

Numpty is a scotch prat with a substandard education.
Labour had 13 years to sort it out and the coalition has only had a few weeks.
you’re not hazel in disguise are u ?
have to continue their education in sub standard surroundings
Damn. If only Labour had won in 1997. They would have had education as a top priority, and would have poured hundreds of billions of pounds into it over the last 13 years, so no child would have to have a sub-standard school.
Damn those evil Tories. Damn them to Hell.
Is our children learning?

No wonder fat barsteward Watson was so pissed when he made his ‘emotional’ tirade against Michael Gove. I can see now why all the NuLieber are so vicious – they are rat-arsed!
Are the Palace of Westminster bars still exempt from Blair’s smoking ban?
Yes, a ‘Palace’ is conveniently exempt from most legislation, they can even employ illegal immigrant cleaners on £3 pounds an hour with no comebacks, about the price of a Languostine and Venison starter in one of their subsidised restaurants.
I can’t wait for Moaty to get banged up with me, and give me a good seeing to in the showers.
If he is ever caught Mr Moat will be offered a special advisory position in the Home Office. His knowledge and experience will be invaluable in our task of providing value-for-money policing.
Probably let him out on bail

Look about the same as Wetherspoons prices
Yes, that would be “the cheaper end of the real world”.
Apparently it is not enough that they charge the same as a Wetherspoons in central London, they have to charge the same as the poser wine bars Guido evidently spends so much money at.
you could be right but who wants to hobknob it in wetherspoons..full of drunk scotties paddies and taffys doing dusty springfield impressions
yes but who wants to hobknob in wetherspoons full of drunk paddies jocks and taffys doing dusty springfield impressions all night when you can slum it on a commons terrace
Dirty evil corrupt bastards. And they do no work. All the filth do is vote how the whips tell them, and stuff their pig faces.
MPs are are dirty evil filth. They should be burned. They are all thieves liars and paedophiles. We should cut the throats out of MPs and piss on them as the choke on their own blood.

I object to the police calling me a “nutter” at their news conference and will be instructing my lawyers to prepare a case for slander. I will be expecting substantial damages for this slur on my good name.

“a man fitting Moat’s description was spotted leaping from a hay bale”
I’ll have the Aberdeen Angus, cut its throat wipe its arse and slap it on a plate with an extra portion of chips… certainly M’lud.
and I’ll follow that with a Tracy Sundae double cherries and cumquoit
I guess having to drink Fosters is an appropriate punishment for joining the House of Asses.
and a double diamond as well no kingfisher those were the days
works wonders
most people who work in Westminster aren’t MPs, they are SpAds, researchers and caseworkers who, after the introduction of IPSA aren’t actually paid much – and don’t forget interns who aren’t paid at all.
Subsidising food and drink is a necessity if you want to offset the cost of living and working in London, especially if you want more diversity in politics.
There are too many politicians, too many hangers on, too much politics.
You seem to think you are entitled to a subsidy, if you think people want more politics, diverse or otherwise, ask them to donate to your party.
They won’t because they are sick of it. Don’t ask the taxpayer to fund your lifestyle choice.
hey Zarb fuck of back to Zagreb or stick to making Zarbs..(crap swedish cars) as you don’t sound like a Spad…not a spade are you ?
“especially if you want more diversity in politics”
No. No one wants ‘more diversity’ in politics. We look at the wasteland that Britain – and in particular, England – has become under Labour’s Great Experiment, and ‘more diversity’ is the last thing we want.
The “most people….are SpAds, researchers and caseworkers who…..are not paid very much”.
Many of these people are the wannabe career politicians who want to get on the gravy train spending their lives governing the rest of us, without ever finding out what real life is like for the rest of us (no subsidised bars or food, for a start). If the low pay gets some of them out of Westminster and into the real world to earn a living, and learn something about real life, it will do them (and consequently the rest of us) a great deal of good.
We, the general public, are sick to the back teeth of SpAds and similar hangers-on sucking off the public teat; in other words, the taxes taken out of our hard-earned.
Are any bars at the commons or Lords franchises?
no she now runs the Strumpet and Squit down the Bellend Road..not as young as she was but still a belter when shes shedded and theres a lock in – up on the tables she goes and bangs out a shirley bassey and still flashes the gash between verses just like the old days.
Can those that pay for this Club enjoy its privileged low cost bar?
I think it’s shocking. Everyone in Parliament taking advantage of the taxpayer
Who would appoint a Chief Constablewith a voice and hair cut like that.
The beer prices appear to be amazingly cheap, especially by comparison with riverside pub prices.
However, who would willingly drink Kronenburg 1664 or Fosters? Both being fizzy, acidic and tasteless (not to mention both being locally brewed knock-offs of international brands). Hmmm – I begin to see their popularity in the Houses of Parliament…
This is a disgrace I am not paying for them to get drunk on the cheap
