    Why would Rolf Harris be sharing a jar or two of raspberry beer with Raoul Moat?

    Tory MP : I was too dr*nk to vote in commons says:

    A TORY MP has apologised after getting too dr*nk to take part in a crucial Budget vote.
    Mark Reckless, 39, got so legless in a Commons bar during the late-night debate he fell over.

    The newly-elected Mr Reckless, who had to be helped into a cab home by colleagues, said: “I feel very embarrassed. It’s a mistake I will not be repeating.

    “I don’t know what came over me. It was a long day and I’d had a very early breakfast meeting.

    “I normally have just one or two and know when to stop. I don’t know what happened. I don’t remember falling over.”

    Mr Reckless, MP for Rochester and Strood in Kent, said because of his unsteady state it would have been “inappropriate” for him to have voted.

    The vote on Labour attempts to block the planned VAT hike finally took place at 2.07am on Wednesday after more than six hours of debate.

    It was defeated by the Government. Commons bars took a record £5,000 as MPs killed time waiting for the vote.

    Another new Tory MP, South East Cornwall’s Sheryll Murray, denied being rude to a Commons doorkeeper after “a couple of glasses of wine”. She said: “I don’t recall any altercation.”

    Pissed MP’s taking the piss out of pissed off taxpayers. Seems about right.

    Taxfodder says:

    Meanwhile our troops in Afghanistan are needlessly wasting their lives, more than 60% of thieving MP’s and ex-MP’s still un-punished for looting the public purse and an un-elected clueless Government.

    More than enough to drive an MP to subsidised drink!

    thick as thieves says:

    David Cameron insisted yesterday the Government would “continue to invest in political blogging sites” despite axing Order ,Order.

    He told Pravda that Guido Fawkes was”understandably disappointed that they won’t be getting the money the last government boasted about and I feel for them”.

    These cartoons are in the manner of a Joycean stream of unconsciousness. They may be interpreted in any manner you see fit, or not at all.

      I don’t want to visit the web site. Mrs Grimelord checks my internet history and if she spots a labour type web address among the porn web sites my like won’t be worth living.

    The Court of Public Opinion says:

    Every R&M cartoon immediately generates truckloads of “who are they” comments – doesn’t that say something? At least with the IDS one they wrote his name on it.

        Toasted says:

        “Sad negative fucker” Now surely that comment should be directed to the individual who devised the Dutch tactics for the ‘game’? What’s this television comment? Flying home tomorrow!!

    Well Done Mr Clegg says:

    Nick Clegg:
    The nation salutes you in demonstrating who had the moral compass and humiliating the despot, the UK ruining, the incompetent-annointed Labour leader and never-democratically elected, Brown.

    “He adds that Mr Brown eventually accepted he would have to quit, but did not want it to look like he had been forced out.

    Lord Mandelson quotes him as saying: “I have been humiliated enough.”

      Still sees himself as the victim not the cause, as do all his ex-ministerial colleagues. Has he been seen or has PR day-release been cancelled?

    Laura's fruity chutney says:

    Halve, stone and chop the plums (about the same size as you would for an apple pie – not too big, not too small). Drop them into a large saucepan. Core, peel and chop the apples and pears in the same way. Peel, stone and chop the mango. Put all the fruit in the pan.
    Stir sugar, vinegar, onions, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, coriander, crushed chillies and salt into the pan, then drop the cinnamon stick on top. Heat slowly for about 20 mins, giving an occasional stir, until the sugar has dissolved. Now leave the chutney to simmer at a steady pace, without a lid, stirring occasionally until reduced and thickened, but still with a nice balance of syrupy juice. This will take about 1½ hrs. You don’t want to cook it until all the liquid has gone, as it will thicken once it cools. Discard the cinnamon stick.
    Using a heatproof jug, pour the chutney while still hot into sterilised jars. It will keep for about a year in a cool, dry place.

    Definitely need to cut more than 50 of the troughers. Dave’s pre-election promise was 10% (i.e. 65). Compo’s was 150. How did they arrive at just 50?

      Osama the Nazarene says:

      Oh and all subsidies for food & drink in the Palace of Westminster should be cut with immediate effect. Would probably save the odd billion or two.

Max Clifford says…

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
