UKIP Leadership Race
The race has begun to succeed Lord Pearson as leader of UKIP. He has amused political observers with his candid honesty. Not a strategy for success in politics.
Nigel Farage is favourite, though one wonders if he is really up for it given his health. He hasn’t said he will run for sure, yet punters still make him the runaway favourite. The rest of the likely runners include Christopher Monckton, the leading global warming sceptic and former adviser to Maggie. David Campbell Bannerman is a policy guy, former Tory SpAd and latterly a spinner before getting elected as an MEP.
Gerard Batten is another MEP and former London mayoral candidate, Spanish Marta Andreasen is the EU auditor turned UKIP MEP.
Guido has put a few quid on Monckton on the grounds that the outsider has fewer internal UKIP enemies and UKIPpers do like exotic characters…
Is John Bufton any relation to Sir Tufton Bufton ?
So what’s all this about Gordon charging $100,000 for an after dinnr speech and an extra $20,000 if he takes his beard with him?
Gordon is paid by the Tax payer to represent the people of his constituency at West Minster. I hope his wages are docked accordingly for the time he takes off giving his speeches.
Who the fook would pay good money to hear Gordon speak anyway? It’s a strange world.

Let me again put your mind at rest.
The person of whom you speak is here with us, on section, quite safe in his little room.
The money and engagement thingy are the ramblings of an extremely disturbed and really quite extraordinarily vapid mind.
His only ‘appointment to speak’ is to his carers and our professional staff, – who, I assure you, receive regular debriefing and counselling.
Anyway, I must move on.

I see mr yawn’s doing the rounds again, bloody tourists why don’t you piss off back to your Liebour lice.

What sort of deluded idiot would pay that sort of money to hear the Mentalist?
He might be charging that. Whether or not anybody is prepared to actually book him at those rates remains to be seen.
1. Pay to hear him
2. Listen very, very carefully to what he says.
3. Do the exact opposite.
4. Profit!!!
What’s not to like?
Like it, except no. 1.
Why don’t the public care about the loser Brown when all I ever do is post about him ???
I would pay £100,000 to attend his hanging.
We certainly don’t give a shit what he does
Exactly. He never did understand how the free market works.
£100 for half an hour after the East Fife Women’s Institute Annual Dinner sounds nearer the mark.
£100 for half an hour? You must be mad. Just under three quid is more fitting and only that because it is the minimum wage!
Guido writes “Guido has put a few quid on Monckton on the grounds that the outsider has fewer internal UKIP enemies and UKIPpers do like exotic characters…”
It is hard to believe that Gerard Batten has many enemies. He keeps his nose to the grindstone and works when in Brussels right through the day until ten o’clock most nights.
But the odds given are pretty realistic as, although a thoroughly nice chap, and a very hard worker on behalf of UKIP, he lacks that certain something that a true leader should have. But then so have all leaders of all parties for the last few decades.
Just in time for the Edinburgh Festival surely?
Brown charging 100 grand to talk? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha best joke I’ve heard all week
10 grand of that is for his goldfish impression.
Still good value as, lets face it, the hire of the hall’s not going to come to much…
There’s hope yet. A vulture has just esacaped from a show in Cumbernauld and was last seen heading in the direction of Sitirling, so it should soon be over Killkiddies. I’m sure this wise bird knows exactly what it has to do. See

It will probably a sort of freak show appeal?
Guido, here is a story for you to sniff out:
Who is actually paid when McRuin makes a speech ?
(btw imagine ” I was right, you were wrong” empathetic speaker)
McRuin must pay tax on income at 50%…..unless he has established a complex network of companies like Bliar…
McRuin Enterprises (Charidee) Ltd is what we need to hunt for, is the the Great Economist evading tax like Tone, or is he paying income tax, like us, on all his revenue ?????
PS Why does McRatbag need three seats?
As one savage critic said, the trouble with Nick Clegg is that he is ‘a calamity’. A calamity who is always changing his mind.
‘We’ve seen a series of flip-flops from Nick.’ According to this person, these flipflops included failing to establish clear policies on nuclear weapons, aspects of running schools and the NHS.
He suggested that Mr Clegg was ‘attempting to face both ways’. Who was this critic? A member of the Labour Party, perhaps? Or a hostile newspaper columnist? No.
Cooking up trouble: Nick Clegg on a visit during the two weeks he is in charge of the country. His personal views are causing the Coalition problems
These judgments were made by Mr Clegg’s Lib Dem, and now Cabinet, colleague Chris Huhne during the Lib Dem leadership contest in December 2007.
Mr Huhne distanced himself from the phrase ‘Calamity Clegg’, but it was certainly used by members of his campaign team.
Calamity Clegg. It is not a very reassuring description of our Deputy Prime Minister, who is supposedly running the country during David Cameron’s two-week holiday in Cornwall

How about Simon Hughes for leader of UKIP? They would really love him. Of course, he would need an arse transplant.
Where would they find an arse with four cheeks?
Yes. See what you mean. Bit of a problem really …… ***thinks*** mmmmm *** other thinking noises whilst passing wind downwards *** ….. Ah! Prescott!
Martin Day – copy and paste expert.
Fuck off Nick you Liberal twat.
Pining for Two Jags??? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
No.
Cleggie is realising that governing is a good deal more onerous when you’re doing it but profoundly more rewarding than being in ‘going no-where’ minority opposition.
It really is refreshing to have a new dynamic at work in the coalition….fools like flakey hughes are a distraction from the overall success thusfar. There will always be fringes of discontent.
After 13 years of the the Blair / Brown duo years frankly anything would have been preferable but the current scenario could be stable for a considerable period and even if the conservatives were to win a huge majority it would be foolish to wash away the longer term potentials of political alliance.
Marta Andreasen would get my vote as an ex auditor she will know where some of the bodies are buried.
+1
+2
Must be having the vapours no way do I think this. It will be Farage if he’s well enough.
I like the cut of this Mr other’s jib
she’s a federalist. and does not even believe in withdrawal.
(no need for any of those school boy comments today, thank you)
So why is she in UKIP?
UKIP is joint leaders of a federalist grouping in the EP – Freedom and Democracy. They have lost sight of their strategy, of withdrawal from the EU.
Andreasen believes in improving the EU, not in Britain withdrawing from it.
The other joint leaders of Freedom and Democracy being The Northern League from Italy, who also are federalist.
UKIP is just as divided over Europe as anyone else. They need to define their strategy as EU withdrawal as they were originally founded.
Trouble is, that if they did, they would not have any allies in the EP, would not be eligible for funding and paying, and could be banned for being xenophobic.
The media never mentions any of this as UKIP is useful for splitting votes away from the Conservatives, who actually could bring Britain out of the EU. Andreasen knows she will never have to answer to anyone for being a federalist, and that it will never be mentioned.
I would guess she joined (a) to get back into the EU where they couldn’t lean on her and (b) to create maximum embarrassment to those who hounded her out.
Tapestry is the arsehole who works for the Two-faced Tories.
Do I get paid then?
Nigel Farage is the only credible choice.
If Monckton is a genuine global warming sceptic, then he has my support, but can he talk a good game like ‘plane crash’ Farage?
Yes – look him up on u-tube!
He could debate rings around anyone in Parliament today. Watch his presentations on the internet, they are jaw-droppingly brilliant. Of course the climate change alarmists hate him, and they consistently misrepresent what he says and then lie, lie and lie again about him, which tells me that he is pretty much spot on!
Viscount Monckton gave a very good presentation tearing apart the IPCC’s case for anthropogenic climate change alarmism. The presentation is online in two parts. One part is the slides, and the other part is the video of him speaking. Each without the other does not make much sense. An Associate Professor at an American university took it upon himself to do a very public critique of this presentation which was spread about the internet as a thorough demolition of Monckton’s case.
Monckton has responded with a devastating and precise and massive demolition of this pathetic, shoddy, inaccurate, false critique in a document which reports literally hundreds and hundreds of mistakes in Professor Abraham’s critique.
Monckon is wrongly characterised as a “denier.” He is no such thing. He does NOT deny that CO2 is a “greenhouse” gas. he does NOT deny that CO2 will warm the atmosphere. He does NOT deny that CO2 has increased due to man’s activity. He does NOT deny that the earth has warmed recently. What he is correct to state is that there exists NO empirical evidence to show that the case for climate ALARMISM is valid. He uses the IPCC’s own work and other peer-reviewed work to demonstrate how the IPCC itself is corrupt and is a political, not a scientific, body and that it has an agenda to prove a specific outcome, rather than investigate and report on a truthful account of what the climate is ACTUALLY doing. Man’s emissions of CO2 will warm the planet slightly and it will help stimulate more crop growth. The earth’s atmosphere is NOT anywhere near as sensitive to fluctuations in CO2 as the IPCC is trying to make out.
If Monckton was leading UKIP, I would sign up fully and happily evangelise for UKIP.

Hi confused. A very pleasant 25° here. My turn to be confused as I have family connections in s of f. Have we met, other than on these illustrious and noble pages?
It depends on his strategy of how he plans to get Britain out of the EU. If he intends to put up 600 candidates in general elections, none of whom will ever win a seat, but their combined effect is to prevent Conservative eurosceptic backbenchers from making it to Parliament, I would question his sanity.
If he is able to limit UKIP to standing against known and declared europhiles, rather than demanding open rebellion against Cameron over the EU from all Conservative candidates (the current strategy which clearly is not working), the strategy would make some sense.
UKIP helped Blair in 2005. They helped Clegg is 2010. They are a disaster in their own terms. What they need is a strategy, which brings about successful interventions in the democratic process, not the complete opposite of what they believe in. The media love giving UKIP publicity, as they can see how they help the EU in Britain.
Monckton is more intelligent than Pearson who is a charming? old buffer – or rather a bit of a selfish old twit, in my opinion. If he has the ability to target UKIP onto sensible electoral targets/interventions, such as getting rid of Ken Clarke or Nick Clegg, he would deserve support.
He should limit UKIP to fighting 60 general election seats maximum and define the UKIP targets/electoral objective to back up the key strategy which is to get Britain out of the EU, and stop helping the EU.
Monckton has a clinical and logical mind.Its like arguing with a computer and a guillotine,he has the facts and misinformation is very quickly cut to shreds.
Indeed, it should also be recognised that Monckton is far from the only peer who is a Global Warming sceptic. There is a certain former Chancellor who leads the calls in that house.
*Sigh*
Is Monckton a qualified climate scientist?. No!
Does he have funny boogley eyes? Yes!.
The science is settled.
1.9 billion Euros funding climate change ‘research’ says it is:
http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/environment/home_en.html
No sceptic will get a sniff of this taxpayer money – because they are not proper scientists.
I predict the result of this research will be a resounding endorsement of the catastrophic nature of the man made warming that I report every day.
The debate is over.
Shaft please!
That will be £40,000 please!
Not a bad deal…will you do anything I like?
David Campbell Bannerman would like the latter
It will be Farage, the rest are wasting their time.
What if Farage does not want to be the UKIP leader again? He has not fully recovered from his plane crash yet.
Monckton and Farage would be formidable as communicators. But they both need to get UKIP’s electoral operations lined up with UKIP’s strategic objective….exiting the EU. They will not do that by helping the Liberal Deomocrats to hold the balance of power.
This should be about as interesting and relevant as the liebore leadership race…

Speaking to the Today programme, former UKIP leader Nigel Farage MEP declined to rule out standing for the party’s crown again. Mr Farage did say, however, that he would have to consider his health first, following his aeroplane accident during the General Election campaign.
The Tory leadership has largely been able to discount the UKIP threat until now. However much a gentleman Lord Rannoch is, his leadership had made UKIP difficult to respect. Pearson’s famous interview with Jon Sopel during the election campaign, when he did not appear to know the contents of his own manifesto, was hugely damaging to his credentials.
The Coalition does present a right-of-centre party with real opportunities. Cameron has had to ditch positions on Europe, defence, immigration and crime as part of his arrangement with Nick Clegg. One Tory minister recently confided that UKIP could win 10% or more first preference votes under AV if Eurosceptic Tory voters knew that they could safely do this as a protest while putting the Conservatives as their second choice.
http://conservativehome.blogs.com/thetorydiary/2010/08/new-leader-for-ukip-could-create-headache-for-david-cameron.html
I do feel that if UKIP could organise itself professionally and have a strong leadership team it could do very well whenever the next election happens.
For many people Europe, the HRA, immigration from Europe and increasing handover of power to the EU is still not being addressed and nothing will really change until it is.
People are still seemingly willing to let the Coalition try their hand (although I think it’s death for Clegg as leader of Lib Dems) but when it inevitably collapses there will still be no change re Europe, no appetite for the Labour crappy remnants and smaller parties may well get their chance.
Lord Pearson was a great laugh… a real dotty old duffer. We will never see his kind in politics again !
You’re right. Politics is no place for a straightforward, honest man.
I resent that.
I don’t
I hope it isn’t Monckton because he has more important work to do. Leadership of UKIP would be a distraction and also detract from his image.
Totally agree Sir William, Lord Monckton has important work to do and needs to stay aloof from party politics.
Morning mongs!

As the BBC is having all candidates for the Labour leadership ”contest”in a special Question Time programme. Surely in the interests of equality and to prove their political neutrality the BBC MUST offer Ukip the same considerations.
I would ask all true believers in democracy to DEMAND of the BBC that they have a special QT for Ukip leadership contenders!!!
Such a programme containing all Ukip leadership contenders would quickly replace the Muppet show! would it not?
You are being very unkind – to the Muppets.
You have a point Drakes Drum but the beeboids wont do that, not with the amount of back door EU funding they get. No, they’ll do a one off separate program for ukip and show it a 3am and claim their unbiased.
It is an important role, keeping the tories from an outright majority.
With ukip votes the tories would have romped home
Postle
Agreed but Camerloon decided to ignore UKIP’s offer. They offered to disband and recommend to us memebers to vote Tory. If Cam promised an EU referendum. He failed to respond and the rest is history. Bad political judgement imo.
True enough. Cameron would rather have seen labour win a majority than offer the British people a referendum on EU membership.
You gotta ask why?
Bad political judgment?. Depends on what Cameron’s true political orientation is. Cameron appears to share many a political common purpose with the LibDems.
At the end of the Cameron premiership the EU grip of power over us will have ratcheted far further, and that every click of the pawl will be ignored or dismissed as trivial by the media and Cameron, or drowned out by some domestic political handbag fight?.
Grass root Tories are not convinced by the need to utterly decarbonise industry in our bankrupt country, Cameron is. An alliance with UKIP skepticism would have been most inconvenient.
I voted UKIP, because I didn’t trust Cameron, he’s been worse than I expected.
Yup, Cameron will not think that the outcome of his gamble with UKIP as an example of poor political judgement as he has now got something he wanted even more than a tory Majority. He is leading a green liberal conservative pro-EU government. Cameron will be laughing his cock-off that it was votes he lost to UKIP that all-but guaranteed it too!
Had he given way to UKIP and entered into their pact, he would now be leading a euro-sceptic majority tory government. I think that would be his worst nightmare.
What we have now, although far far better than the labour abomination it replaces, is still nowhere near good enough.
If the England football team can import a foreign manager then its only sensible that UKIP can bring in a commotted outsider such as – - Daniel Hannan?
only when he’s grown a pair
I was thinking I might take a run at the leadership. I’m very good at slipping into places unseen.
… or unfelt …
Ooh, he does like slipping in
That’s no way to talk about me Mandy you bitch!
A vote for UKIP is a vote for Labour.
No, a vote for UKIP is a principled vote – remember that odd idea of voting for what you believe in? On the other hand a vote for Cameron is a vote for the Liberal Democrats – a party to which the Boy has sworn allegiance in his heart!
Principled vote? LibLabCon party tribalists don’t know the meaning of the phrase.
A vote for labour or tory or liberal is a vote to be ruled over by a bunch of unelected foreign dictators.
A vote for UKIP is a vote for British self rule.
If I wanted to vote only for the things I believe in, I would stand for Parliament and vote for myself. This would, however, be futile. I know that I cannot have everything exactly as I please, so in my own interests and those of others I vote for a party that might win, or at least have a substantial impact on political thought. Therefore, I don’t vote UKIP.
call me dave now has ex labour ministers working for him as well as his liberal bumchums
a vote for Blu-Labour is a vote for Nu-Labour
A vote for any of them three main parties is a vote for what we have now. The conliblab party in power doing NOTHING to bring powers back from the EU, doing nothing to regain any sovereignty from the EU.
How much more plain does it have to be? There are differences between the parties, but what we have now is a government run by the direct input of all three mainstream parties. It is a conliblab government.
The only credible alternatives to this at the moment would be a UKIP or B EN P!
When are the people of this country going to wake up and stop the rest of the world pissing on us?
If voting UKIP at the last General Election (which I didn’t) denied the Tories an overall majority, it seems quite clear that all Tories who believe in an independent country must vote UKIP to a man or woman at the next Euro elections in 2014. There will be no point in voting Tory then and this time it really will be a referendum by proxy. I would support Lord Monckton as he has the capability to run what might then be a very important grouping in Europe (pan national even).
I detect an end to, or at least dissatisfaction with, the focus group driven, spin master enabled, Bercowite emasculation of politics. More power to Monckton’s elbow.
trust me never. I have them on every day and they are a mongfest.
and they’re nothing compared to the mongs who watch him
Like you, you mong.
You can tell us apart from the colour of our ties.
There is no need for UKIPPY at all.
The modern Conservative Party provides everything anyone could possibly need.
After all,
1. Our historical credentials are impeccable.
2. Our grasp of history second to none
3. Our work record in opposition superb
4. Our defeat of the conniving Labour Party sound and round
5. And our affection (or is that affectation?) within the country is assured.
6. We stand for a strong independent Britain, on hire or subserviant to no-one.
7. We have told the EUSSR we want no truck with punitive and senseless rules over which we have neither voted or have any control.
Therefore, I urge my fellow countrymen to join with us. rest assured, I will leave no stone upturned.
Those ukipping twats are nothing but trouble and a thorn in our side.
We shall tar them with the same brush as the B&P and make you all pay for it through the TV tax!

Martin has put a few quid on the coalition breaking up in 2011
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith had a “blazing grade-A row” with Chancellor George Osborne over funding for his flagship welfare reforms, according to the BBC.
It has been widely reported that Mr Duncan Smith will have to find net savings of £10 billion in order to go ahead with the estimated £3 billion reforms.
According to the BBC’s Newsnight programme this has caused tensions between the senior Government ministers although Mr Osborne has attempted to play down any rift
Martin stop your copy and pasting you dull sod. I don’t come here to read the fecking news.
I’m going to keep replying reply to my own posts BECAUSE I’M BATSHIT INSANE
Only a “few” quid ? Come on Martin , if you really believe that put something substantial on it, like your wages or your mortgage. Come on put your money where your mouth is you tosser !!
The source for that is the “impartial” BBC? I was believing it until then…
I am still waiting for the BBC to tell me where the WMD are in Iraq, when they reported any signs of the economic crash coming (whilst telling us repeatedly that Gordon Brown was the best chancellor in British History) and how Polar Bear numbers are increasing and the Arctic ice recovering from its 2007 low and Antarctic ice approaching the greatest extent on record, seal level rise NOT accelerating, When will they report that temperature instruments on satellites have degraded to the extent that 5 of them had to be taken off-line last week as they had been recording temperatures which were on average 10 – 15 degrees F too warm for much of the last decade.
The BBC and truth are rarely in the same room as each other.
“According to the BBC’s Newsnight”
Says it all really.
absolutely
Remember when Newsnight had that ridiculous studio discussion about why Milburn had resigned and what it meant for the Blair/Brown rivalry? And yet they all knew the truth, which Martha Kearney hinted at but refused to say on air. Truth is that Milburn’s wife had found out about his extramarital affair and told him to get back to the North-East as she could not trust him in London. Everyone at Westminster knew, and it was all over doctors.net.uk (Milburn’s wife is a consultant psychiatrist), but Newsnight pretended it didn’t know about his problems keeping his cock in his trousers and patronised its viewers for ten minutes of drivel which it knew to be fictional. I’ve never trusted Newsnight since.
Then it happened again when Milburn joined the government and then mysteriously left it very shortly afterwards. Now, for some reason, his wife is letting him back into Westminster again. Watch out girlies – Milburn’s back!

YUP, his lie to the American people last week about the Gulf of Mexico was particularly sickening. Pretending to swim in the gulf waters when he was really swimming in a pool, separate from the gulf waters. His lie that 75% of the oil has gone has been blown out of the water by two separate university studies which show that between 70 – 80% of the oil is still in the water column and it is still polluting and poisoning the sea-life.
But then Obarmy appears more than willing to poison seafood eaters in America to get a few more votes in November.

apart from farage i feel that lord monckton would be a good choice, i have met and heard bannerman give a presentation, and while he is a lovely person, i dont feel he is forceful enough to lead the party. godfrey bloom did one too, and he is a very good and strong speaker.
More numbers:
A-level pass rate rises to 97.6%. The only ones that did not pass were dead junkies in the exam room who were discovered surrounded by maggots feasting on pools of diarrhoea under their seats.
Look at the shit the illiterate fucktards with media degrees put on their CVs:
“I am,” says one applicant, “most confident in my communicatory dexterities.” “I have experience,” says another, “of pro-active action on issues of concern.”
What useless pretentious twats!
If they really were ““most confident in my communicatory dexterities.”” then they would not have written that at all. The would have written something like, “I am a good and effective communicator” Which is good and effective communication of a fact that this person considers themselves to be a good and effective communicator. Calling a spade, a spade, is good and effective communication.
Writing “most confident in my communicatory dexterities” means that they are a pretentious pillock who needs to overcompensate for deeper insecurities masked by a huge ego and they will have very poor judgement. It shows that they are so piss poor at written communication that they are unaware that the word “communicatory” is not a proper word at all, but an invented compound, and their dexterities are utterly wasted.
It was an axiom in the Design Office that short, concise reports were usually factually accurate, but long, wordy ones should be scrutinised carefully for factual errors and technical mistakes. Writing a concise, accurate report took far more work and care than throwing together a bullshit mountain did.
Very true. There is alot to be said for being concise.
As one who can prattle on and expurgigate extended compounded and invented words and phrases and extend the verbiage to the heights of preposterous voluuminosity (aka bullshit) I have to say that a short, simple and concise communication is a lot more effective on a CV than any inventionisation of communicatory dexterity.

I’m still waiting for an answer, mong @ 147.

To be fair he is actually more ladylike than his northern chimp of a missus, she must shave three times a day
I saw Kenneth’s testicular sack and anus in a changing room once, I was most impressed
“Tranny head”, Gabby Logan is vice-president of The Disabilities Trust (she arranges prozes for the bifs).
Her kids also look like muppets (no shit – they look like real muppets).
Rumours abound that she is intersexual, so where the fuck those kids come from is anyone’s guess!
Does she live in Canterbury?
What’s a fooken intersexual you soft southern poofter?
Doe she eat minge? is that what you’re trying to say you poof?
She’s always the butch one if that is the fooken case you poofter
The old word for that would be hermaphrodite, have another pie prezzers.

Oh come on, UKIP won’t stand a chance because new labour are on the way back according to Hain
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/aug/18/labour-fightback-has-begun
you jus gotta larf
Laugh certainly when I read a fair selection of the comments made. Hain and NuLabour universally disliked and distrusted was the main thrust. I am now confused a to who actually reads the Gruinard these days. Still, the new lot not much better as the WSJ today reports Osborne to be agreeable to King turning the printing presses back on………..
It was on here by a poster the other day that there is no air accident investigation re Farage on the aaib website.Bit odd that.
AAIB investigations and reports take months to complete. Nothing unusual in there being no report on the site yet,
why is the bbc wasting our money with this legal battle?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/7953303/BBC-lawyers-fight-to-keep-Top-Gears-The-Stig-secret.html
no doubt the masters at the bbc are part of the 153% pass rate loonies from our education system
@ Mr Proverbial – that pass rate – would it be in Meedya Studees perhaps?
fucking rich twat Clarkson running to the lawyers
A report in the Daily Mail said the dispute had “deeply upset” Mr Clarkson. It said lawyers acting for The Stig’s publishers have written back to the BBC, raising the prospect of a court battle.
The Stig is thought to be unhappy that other presenters are able to earn considerable sums from book deals and promotional products.
Mr Clarkson made £800,000 in the 12 months to March last year from the BBC arm set up to cash in on Top Gear’s global brand value.
Good for him + hope he stands for leader of ukip
I would have agreed with you, but since Barrichello beat him, I have lost all respect for the Stig!
Or were you referring to Clarkson?
Well either will do although the stig isn’t very articulate he usually just sends out his thoughts directly into your head
The Stig should read his fucking contract a bit more carefully.
Can’t you spot a publicity stunt when you see one?
I’m the Stig Maggie
Heard Mockton on Fox news a few months ago , He Might do well .
septic twat
Moncton for me, weve had farage and everytime i see monkton on tv he wipes the floor with his knowledge.
I would have said he uses his knowledge to wipe the floor with his opponents, but, well, yeah..
Ukip = irrelevant single issue xenophobes
Yawn! Must be silly season if we’re discussing fringe politics
There are no politics anymore.There is only the LabLibCon mafia.
Yes don’t speak of anything else, its politically incorrect, think only of the LibLabCon machine.
The Labour Leadership Contest – Day 326 – is that a mugshot of David Balls? Or is that Diane Burnham? Sometimes I can’t remember, and that scares me.
Fear not, Sir William. You are not alone. With the exception of Ms Abbot’s skin pigmentation, they are indistinguishable.
Are we allowed to say that the others are allwight!
they are allwong sa!
Like Dave and Tony
Slow news day!
Snail beats tortoise in 500mm sprint
Well said Guido
Guido Fawkes said “Order Order readers know the first 100 days of this ConDem Government have sent us backwards when what the country needs is real positive change.
“They’ve scrapped support for jobs, slashed the schools building budget and have slammed ordinary families with an unfair VAT rise.
“These have been 100 days of the same old Tory cuts, using the financial crisis as cover to slash vital public services.
“The Lib Dems have gone along with their Tory bosses to put jobs at risk by slashing support for British industry. No wonder David Cameron is nowhere to be seen when everyone is looking back at the first 100 days of his ConDem Government.”
Fancy slamming ordinary families! Disgraceful. Even Adolph Hitler did not slam ordinary families. Let us set up an anti-slamming party, as soon as possible. What do we want? No Slamming! When do we want it? …….
Have you ever thought of a career with the BBC
support for jobs?
what does that mean?
taking money in the form of tax from good profitable companies and giving it to shit ones – how does that make sense?
how can you justify taking money from companies with proven track records for job creation and giving it to random people with a business plan.
А откуда известно что она срёт?
EH!
Speak up lad!
I don’t know why Dr Alan Sked doesn’t come back now they’ve got rid of all those nasty right-wingers.
Monckton would be excellent. He’s intelligent, quick-witted and very well-informed (hence his incisive dissection of the Global Warming and Tobacco Control scams).
Unfortunately, he has big bulgey eyes, and in this day and age that means 98% of our bovine countrymen won’t vote for him.
moo
Yeah I think it’s the ‘Global Warming [] scams’ line which would put me off voting for him rather than the bulging eyes thing. Had dinner with him once; he was very personable.
Is Nicole Sinclaire not in the running? Thought not.
A councillor today said she would ask her authority to investigate reports of political bloggers invading a housing estate.
According to reports in The Sun, a political blogger was shot dead on the Ravenscliffe estate in Bradford, prompting fears that “super political bloggers” from South America could be at large.
Carol Beardmore, who represents the Eccleshill ward for the Liberal Democrats on Bradford Council, played down suggestions that hundreds of political bloggers were plaguing the estate.
She said: “I live on the estate and while I’m not saying we don’t have bloggers – everywhere has bloggers – I am not aware of an infestation of political bloggers.
“We are not the Pied Piper of Hamelin round here with hundreds of political bloggers.
Yeah, I see what you did then…
You took a news story about big rats and then changed the words so that it seems like they are talking about bloggers instead of big rats and then you make the leap that compares bloggers to big rats so that people might think that bloggers and big rats are the same. Yeah, Very good, Clever…. Yeah I got that…. Well done!
Now do the same replacing the big rats with BBC Northern Correspondents, because that would be hilarious.
No really..
we don’t have any trouble with bloggers round here
Another one to follow up on Fordingbridge.

Because of the Tories, whatever mongchops.
Last Guinness on Saturday night. First semi solid stools Wednesday. Must be a record.
Oh please, please, please let it be Monckton!
Gawain Towler might be the One to watch…
To be fair it wasn’t Pearson’s honesty which did him in but the things he was being honest about. It’s a fine thing for him to be willing to admit politically embarassing things, but when one of those things is that you haven’t read the party you’re supposed to be leading’s manifesto and aren’t particularly familiar with the contents you ought to stand aside.
Despite hating and opposing most of what UKIP stand for I’d have to say Farage was the way to go; the man is a positive addition to British politics.
