          Steele? Thorpe? Cyril Smith? Paddy Pantsdown? Laws? Beaker? David Owen? Shirley Williams?

          I’m running out of Lib Dems now, except Sarah Teather, and it’s definitely not her….

          • Engineer says:

            Come to think of it, it can’t be a Lib Dem anyway – it hasn’t got a beard.

            Bill Rodgers, Woy Jenkins, Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, Gladstone, Lloyd George (he knew my father), Jo Grimond, Eric Lubbock, Jeremy Thrope of the pink oboe (oh you mentioned him!), Charlie hic Kennedy …

            Isn’t there another one that we’ve both forgotten? Vaguely recall one with a name like Clagg…Clank? Clark? No, not Clark…

            Damn….I just can’t quite bring it to mind….

            Got it! It’s the feller Ed Milipede is having dreams about sacking. (Won’t happen – they’re not even in the same party. Debatable whether they’re even on the same planet at the moment.)

            Clegg. That’s the feller’s name. Don’t think it’s him in the cartoon, though. That Clegg feller never seems to wear a blue tie for some reason. Can’t think why not.

      Miliband specimen D, hardly needs to lash out on the blue nun & nibbles, when he has the bbc providing free propoganda on his behalf – The Toady presenter in his best national disaster voice intones, apropo of nothing ‘ and david miliband is reported in G2 as being dismayed by what David Cameron is doing to the country’. What ? like not knifing his ministers in the back, starting the odd illegal war and trying not to spend more than we earn ?

    Re the ASI article..

    Obscene discrimination against Catholic Care because of their religious beliefs

    What would happen is a Jewish agency applied the same principles ?

    Sadly Britain is no longer a free country that respects religious freedom…

    But a regresive, decadent backwater applying fascist principles…

      smoggie says:

      If Mother Nature has decided that po­ofs can’t have children then why pick on th e catlicks for applying the same principle?

      • 121

        Because the Labour Party and their boxticking bedwetters know better, and have decreed that not only should poufs have kids, but that it’s a ‘ooman right, innit?

        It’s not like the kids should be worried enough being given to Catholics – they now have to watch their arses too.

    Grumpy Old Man says:

    Labour’s “Hoon of the Year” contest has long since settled into the indescribable chasing after the inconsequential. It is noteworthy that Rich and Mark chose the least important happening of the week as a fit subject on which to release their febrile talents.

Why doesn’t she admit the truth of their tawdry arrangement instead of continuing this charade? She played her part while he was in office. Time to stop the act so she can free herself up to live in Canterbury.

      According to this RSPB site

      There are 26 paid Media/PR staff

      Without knowing how much they pay outside “consultants”

      These quangos have gone mad…

      PS They are advertising for at least 2 new Media jobs… in Beds…

        Sir Reginald Titbrain says:

        It is a characteristic of all these goody goody charities that they exist largely for the benefit of their higher echelons of staff who get wages disproportionate to both their abilities and the requirement of the jobs.

        RSPCA, RSPB, Age Concern/Help the Aged or whatever they are this week. Troughers shielding behind respectability gorging on peoples innate goodness and generosity, with all the integrity of a beggar on the scrounge with his motor parked just around the corner.

    • 86
      smoggie says:

      RSPB isn’t a quango. It relies entirely on private donations. They do no use public funds extorted from the taxpayer.

      If you don’t like what they do, don’t pay. I was a member until I realised that they have been infiltrated by cagoul-wearing liberal greenies. They do not support a cull of the rampant magpie (not Newcastle supporters – we all support that) population, even though it would a benefit to songbirds, but because it would upset the sensibilities of its town based membership and so hit subscriptions. That is a polictical decision.

        The same RSPB is banging on about CUTS, has a full page ad in The Eye on them.

        Is the RSPB on the Fake Charity list yet?

      • 98
        Backwoodsman says:

        Correct, they long ago lost any credibility from an environmentalist point of view, when they turned Langholme Moor into a bird free wasteland, rather than offend the sensibilities of their delicate members by culling predators.
        Strangely they never seem to mention the 500 million song birds and mammals estimated to be killed annually by all those cuddly cats owned by their mates at the rspca. However they are always ready with a rent a quote whenever a dead raptor is found – got to be a ‘Keeper’ hasn’t it ?
        There are very few national charidees which haven’t been taken over by a leftist clique of nulab types, who now make a very nice living out of donations from the gullible public, whilst twisting what were sound founding principles to meet their own social-political aims.

    Sir William Waad says:

    I can’t help thinking that Ed Miliband is potentially Labour’s next Gordon Brown. He’s the kind of guy that can do well within the safety of the Party but would be an easy target for the Tories and would simply not be much good. That is why he was made Minister for the Environment or whatever. If Labour don’t pick David Miliband they are nuts.

    Nick from Sheffield says:

    Dear Marje

    My work colleagues are shunning me and although I can’t quite put my finger on it I think I’m being left out of something. They keep taking furtive phone calls from someone called “Ed” inviting them to some party or other and when I tackled my friend Charlie about it he said that I was just being silly !

    Even my “newest” best friend at work “Dave” is ignoring my calls.

    Any advice would be welcome

    P.S.

    Up until to a few months ago I was the most popular guy around…. now it’s as if I’m a “bad smell” and friends just mutter in embarassment when I tackle them about it.

    Doncaster Climate Change Petition

      Sir William Waad says:

      He’s capitalising on the floods in Doncaster a few years ago. Centuries ago, people would have claimed that such floods were a punishment from on high for the wickedness and luxury of the inhabitants. Nowsadays we are more enlightened, so we claim that such floods are a punishment from on high for the wickedness and luxury of the inhabitants. There is deep-seated human itch that has to be scratched.

          Another Engineer says:

          Especially a flood plain that is sinking because of mining subsidence…

          The EA have been spending lots of money to sort out the flood defences, but they can’t change the height of the land. Without the drainage pumps, the whole place would turn into a swamp within a week.

          It will happen again, whatever they do.

          The whole point of Toll Bar has been lost anyway – the mine is long closed.

      • 131
        Another Engineer says:

        Perhaps he might like to talk to the planning authorities in his constituency instead:

        “The development of the LDF will outline the broad areas of future change and growth. It is envisaged that this will need to include development within communities affected by floods (such as Bentley and Thorne) to enable regeneration and growth. It is therefore recommended that the intended consultation on the Doncaster Core Strategy is highlighted to the EA, and they are asked to consider how they will be able to facilitate the safe regeneration and development of Doncaster’s communities which are affected by flood risk.”

        They are going to build on the floodplain, because development = jobs (yeah, right), then task the Environment Agency with saving them from disaster, then blame the EA when the inevitable happens.

        Idiots.

      “Doing so is necessary for the environment and future generations, and can be good for our economy and society.”

      But not for seals…

      Wind farm link to butchered seals
      Experts think animals washed up in Norfolk were hit by propellers of boats used in a green energy project

      Sorry it’s behind a pay wall, but the gist is: duct propellers on tugs and other craft used for the construction and maintenance of off-shore wind farms have killed and mutilated 38 seals (horribly) this year in one location alone.

      • 117
        Susie says:

        And I forgot to add the National Trust have to send out teams early every morning to remove their carcasses from the beaches “so holiday makers and their children won’t be upset”.

        EVERY organization is conspiring to cover up the truth! Hypocrites!

      • 122
        Eco Dave says:

        Dead seals and dead birds are a small price to pay for the whopping 0.8% contribution to the UK’s electricity wind turbines make (when the wind’s blowing of course, and then only if it’s not too strong).

        • 138
          Susie says:

          I hope you’re being ironic — it’s actually not even that, last winter it was 0.2% — coldest winter for 13 years and the reason for that is when it’s cold, there’s usually high pressure causing it in winter.

          They also forget to mention that you need the same fossil backup (running on hot standby inefficiently) for every turbine and 3 times the grid infrastructure to cope with peak output and troughs.

    There was nothing from the Huhnes who stood as Limp Dim candidates for BCC local elections. Don’t frighten the votes with cars, lets save the plant, lets make it even harder to encourage firms to relocate to this city.

    Lets hire some counsultants to recommend guided bus lanes in specially built concrete roads. Lets waste more taxpayers money to go to Copenhagen climate change conference. Turn the city into a fairtrade hell hole.
