Beauty and the Beeb

Tim Hames, the Speaker’s unprecedented spinner, announced he was off last week. Which is unfortunate for the Squeaker as he looks like he could need someone to help with handling the press come Thursday night…

Question Time’s producers, ever in search of controversy, like to rile people with their choice of guest. This week they have a member of Ed Ball’s campaign team who failed to become a councillor invited on the show. She calls herself a “writer and broadcaster” these days, but Guido has only ever seen a blog post (about Balls) and an interview on This Week, not sure being on Twitter constitutes being a professional writer. It seems even Labour aren’t stupid enough to let the proven liability become an official spokesman. Burnham is on the same night…

Has she really done anything in her own right rather than as the Speaker’s wife?  Perhaps some other failed council candidates, with Twitter accounts, backing someone in the Labour leadership, should ask to be on Question Time. That seems to be the criteria…

    Ed Balls says:

    Shadow education secretary Ed Balls has revealed that he was sent a fifth list of school rebuilding projects affected by the government’s programme of spending cuts by education secretary Michael Gove, which he claimed disclosed 20 more cancellations than the previous list. He told MPs this afternoon: “[Mr Gove] must now know there is widespread anger on all sides of the House, and now is time for this fucking pip-squeak to resign !”

        What wasn’t discussed was that last month, Gove had stopped the quango head responsible for providing the school building procurement figures, Tim Byles, from getting the £40,000 bonus Byles had regarded as his right.

        Dirty tricks. How about depriving Byles of his £140,000 salary and finish the job?

He knows they won’t mention him and there’ll be no invitation to appear on stage to a standing ovation and rhetorical shouts to “come back”. The last thing the new Labour leader will want is for the public to be reminded of that Hunt. The conference combined with the autumn publication of B Liar’s The Journey will push him to the edge.

    She bangs on about being her own woman constantly to any fucker wot’ll listen, yet parasites off er wankstain of an usband.
    Lets be fair Mr Bercow is a pretty impressive type of high achiever, and political collosus to parasite off, an no mistake I tells you.

    This form of wretched ipocracy is acceptable because it’s the right thing to do I tells you!
    Sally’s some might say off the peg, boorishly childish anti Toryist stance will delight, nay charm the audience of left wings dorks, teenage gobshytes, and public sector persons on sick leave wot those BBC mongs like to place in the audience.

      (2) being the only Asian person standing; and

      (3) being much prettier than Sally Bercow.

      Perhaps she should join a serious political party!

          I see, at minimum, a five way schism:
          Those that want neither women nor poofs as bishops.
          Those that don’t want women but can accept poofs as bishops.
          Those that don’t want poofs but can accept women as bishops.
          Those that are prepared to accept women or poofs as bishops.
          Those that are only prepared to accept women or poofs as bishops.

          This is just a start, as George Boole might have said.

    Q What uynderwear with white linen trousers? (52 Posts)

    title says it all….and none is not an option.

    Do I go white?
    Skin tone?

    Normal briefs or do I have to go for a thong?

    Depends on the tightness of the trouser and state / colour of your lady garden I guess

    After following a woman in white linen trousers off the tube and down a loooong tunnel and grappling with myself as to whether or not to tell her she had a massive skidmark up the back, I think Yuno speaks the truth.

    If you were feeling brave you could have said very quietly and nicely that she seemed to have sat on some chocolate!

    If MPs were physically smaller we could move the whole kit and caboodle to smaller premises, feed them smaller meals, etc. No more travel expense we could just post them up and down the country. Heck I would even let them travel first class.

    Question Time is such a fucking awful programme; boring, predictable, shallow, self congratulatory–and that’s just the bloody audience. Is this shoddy, tired formula really the best that the BBC can do ? Or is it merely a vehicle now for Dimblebore to display his avuncularity ( is that a word ?). Unfunny comedians, Labour toadies who interrupt all the time, gobby c*nts like Mackenzie and Morgan . Its been years since there was a good row, or an intelligent debate. The audience seemed to be handpicked for their embitteredness and their sense of entitlement. I remember when interesting figures used to appear, Enoch of course, A J P Taylor;now its driven by quotas and riddled by creeps who toady up to the audience.
    At least the BBC could let us have a really good tantrum, or better still some fisticuffs….
