Balls to McBride : No Thanks, Mate

Poor old Damian McBride, Lord Mandelson shakes his head in his Third Man book and says that McPoison was trouble waiting to happen – as he had warned Gordon.

Damian has told people that he will do two years of penance (in a Catholic school) and then come back. Guido understands that he offered his services to the struggling Ed Balls campaign. Ed Balls told him “thanks, but no thanks”, he didn’t want him anywhere near the campaign. Labour sources say the realisation that he is too toxic even for Ed Balls has driven home to him that he is finished in politics for ever.

Should have written those memoirs when they had some value Damian…

    “With undisguised cheek, David Miliband is now urging anyone who will listen to “focus on the problems of the future”, rather than dwell on the past, a sentiment echoed by his brother, who is keen for Labour to “move on”. You can see why. For them, and us, recent history is a dreadful place to be.

    It is where a dysfunctional clique took the United Kingdom into an illegal war, dismantled border controls, encouraged unprecedented immigration, debased educational standards, attacked the independence of our best schools and universities, botched devolution, eroded British sovereignty, pumped up a consumer debt bubble, ran our private pension system into the ground, messed up financial regulation and wrecked the country’s balance sheet. ”

        There was something similar reported recently about Question Time. The good old independent BBC lets the hosts invite the audience, insulating themselves from accusations of bias; really handy if you can select a school with a trendy lefty on the Board.

        Balls went for the same open necked,relaxed posture and smiley face as Miliband did the week before. Except Balls was wearing a geography teacher’s jacket, and his make up was a bit too Andy Burnham and made his face look plastic.

          Balls is a 24 carrot liar. In Brillo’s show last night Portillo didn’t know where to put himself, and the sofa’s too small for two.

          Any Questions was a riot. Andy Burnham suffered from verbal diarrhoea, Mrs. Bercow was inane, G Galloway intense, Dimbleby flustered, the fat journalist about to have a self righteous heart attack, and the Tory mp doing his best to fight his corner.A badly balanced team. The audience dominated by three hectoring women in the front row.

We really should have a statue of the five of them in the foyer of Parliament somewhere so that they are never forgotten. Because they really were the worst of the worst of political human nature.

    And let’s not forget that Ed Miliband , that man who is now attempting politicised sainthood as saviour of the environment and running for the leadership of the labour party was hassling just on the outside of that Quintet and was often let into play!!

      Nista says:

      to explain what its about.
      After the death of the Prophet Muhammad, a schism developed within the community about who was to succeed him in leadership of the Muslim nation. This was the beginning of the historical split between Sunni and Shi’a Muslims (see the article “What’s the Difference Between Shi’a and Sunni Muslims?” for more details).

      In the year 680 A.D., an event happened that was a turning point for what was to become the Shi’a Muslim community. Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, was brutally murdered during a battle against the ruling Caliph — on the 10th day of Muharram (‘Ashura). This took place in Karbala (modern-day Iraq), which is now an important pilgrimage site for Shi’a Muslims. Shi’a Muslims observe the day in mourning for Hussein and in remembrance of his martyrdom. Reenactments and plays are performed, attempting to relive the tragedy and keep the lessons of this event alive. Some Shi’a Muslims beat and flog themselves in parades on this day, to express their grief and to reenact the pain that Hussein suffered.

            Jon Snow is a twat but since when did two wrongs make a right?

            Zac Goldsmith has been caught out simple as.

            Very telling how quick the Tory trolls dropped the holier than thou, mock outrage on behalf of the public act once they got their boys into power and quickly reverted to type.

            Yes very telling indeed.

            Let the smearing of we independents who hold ALL of you hypocrites to account begin.

          • Esther Rantzen says:

            We independents stood on the understanding that parliamentary expenses were as generous as BBC ones. Unfortunately, our bid for power was thwarted by a mad blog commenter with a s a u s a g e fetish. The bastard supported us, thus guaranteeing that most sane people wouldn’t. May his scabby willy shrivel even more than it already has.

    Fuck Labour says:

    This is on the BBC News website…

    A study is being used to support the theory many educated, middle-aged left-wingers are in fact conservatives who can’t admit it. Is this true?

    It is the cynic’s perennial view of youthful idealism: that each student radical will turn sharply to the right once the pay cheques start coming in and the mortgage needs to be paid.

    By virtue of this stereotype, we might imagine rabble-rousing undergraduate Rik from 1980s sitcom The Young Ones by now having transmogrified into Tory MP Alan B’stard – an easy enough exercise, given that both men were played by the same actor.

    But an academic study has been seized on by centre-right commentators as evidence that this is more than just a cliche.

    Dr James Rockey, of Leicester University, analysed the stated values of 136,000 people in a survey carried out in 48 countries, and found that the well-educated were most likely to misplace themselves on the political spectrum.

    A tendency was observed among this group to identify as left-wing, and vote accordingly, despite holding views on wealth distribution that placed them further to the right, Dr Rockey reported.

    In his paper, Dr Rockey suggested that this was due to the fact that “people compare themselves not to the population as a whole but to the people they know” and that “political preferences change over time”.

    The Daily Telegraph pounced on these findings, proclaiming them as evidence that “many middle-aged ‘champagne socialists’ fail to notice their views shifting” and have become, despite their left-wing university days, right-wingers who cannot bring themselves to acknowledge the fact.

    The newspaper’s editorial stated that the research proves “the facts of life are, as Margaret Thatcher had it, conservative”, and that those who do not face up to this are simply displaying an inversion of the Marxist theory of false consciousness.

    The journalist Toby Young – who, in his own words, “came out” as a Conservative voter for the first time ahead of the 2010 general election – thinks the Telegraph has a point.

    He believes that prime minister David Cameron has been largely successful in “decontaminating” the Tory brand – falling short only among the intelligentsia, who from their university days belonged to social circles that automatically viewed right-wing ideas with contempt.

    “As students, most people will have been on the left,” he believes.

    “With the onset of wisdom, they become more realistic and realise the utopian dreams they had when they were young were impractical. But they have this vision of their younger selves wagging their finger.”

    However, the writer and long-standing Labour activist John O’Farrell argues that the Leicester study is far from comprehensive enough to back up the thesis.

    He admits that his younger self might be dismayed that he now subscribes to Sky TV, and bemoans Guardian journalists who educate their children privately.

    But he insists that with age comes experience – and the wherewithal to translate egalitarian principles into practical action.

    “What this comes down to is that right-wingers don’t understand us,” he says. “They can see why we’re on the left when we’re students, but they don’t get why we would still want to make the world a better place when we’re older and better off.

    “But when I was young I used to go on demos, chanting ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, out, out, out.’ Now I’m chairman of the governors of an inner-city comprehensive – and I think I’m doing far more to turn my values into reality.”

    The left-wing singer-songwriter Billy Bragg agrees, citing the veteran socialist Tony Benn – who started out as a moderate and grew more radical with age – as an example he would like to emulate.

    “When you become a father, you realise that everyone is someone’s child. As you get older, you worry about who is going to pay for your pension,” he says. “It seems that the logic of organised compassion makes more sense to me than ever.

    “Yes, I live in a nice house now. But does that mean I’m meant to ignore my mum and all the people I grew up with in Barking? That would be the most hypocritical thing of all.”

    Left and right may always find themselves set in opposition.

    But if each side fails to appreciate what motivates the other, the prospect of achieving any kind of consensus seems remote. Alan and Rik would understand.

    Barack Obama and David Cameron are shown a time machine which can see 100 years into the future. They decide to test it by asking a question each.

    Obama goes first and types in his question: “What is the USA like 100 years from now?”

    The machine whirrs and beeps and goes into action and gives him a printout. He reads it aloud: “The country is in good hands, crime is low, there is no conflict, the economy is healthy. There are no worries”.

    Cameron says “It’s not bad, this time machine.” So he types in his question: “What is Britain like 100 years from now?”

    The machine whirrs and beeps and goes into action, and he gets a printout. But he just stares at it.

    “Come on, Dave” says Obama, “What does it say?”

    “I don’t know. It’s all in Arabic”.

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

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.
